HU188530B - Self-watering device for animals - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a self-watering device, preferably equipped with a drinking bowl, for removing liquid from pressure lines, in particular for pigs and cattle, in which the actuating lever actuated by the animals and the inflow from the pressure line are uncoupled in such a manner that the animals only receive liquid on a movement of the lever, to which end there are situated in a housing a float-actuated inflow valve and at least one displacement body connected to the actuating lever, it being brought about by special design and matching of the structural elements that the animals receive less liquid on playing with the actuating lever than on deliberate individual actuation.

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to feeding animals, in particular pigs and cattle, by means of which liquid, especially water, can be administered from a distribution network to a drinking bowl.

H / 2529. s. It consists of an opening and closing valve unit with a self-leveling float known from the Hungarian publication, and a removable drinking cup.

No. 2469116. A solution known from French Patent No. 6,123,123 relates to a dispenser having a drinking bowl connected to a float-controlled container.

No. 4,274,365. Further, a solution is known from the US patent, which has a plurality of floating enclosures surrounded by a drinking bowl. It is connected to the float through the opening of the drinking bowl.

The above solutions are provided with a float which is a. provides a defined water level. Through the connection between the tank and the watering can, the watering can! its fluid level is also kept at a desirable level, which leads to high water consumption.

Drinkers and bowl drinkers are known to provide water to the drinking bowls by triggering mechanisms operated by the animals, such that the water flows in large quantities into the drinking bowl, is overfilled, and the animals get excessively diluted with excess fertilizer. This increases the cost of water supply and manure transport. In large animal stables the use of the resulting manure cnnyiscg is a problem. Large drinking troughs take up a lot of water that is not always drunk by the animals, the water will be stagnant and polluted.

Drinking bowls fed from a pressurized water network require greater operating power, which is particularly disadvantageous for piglets.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide, by simple means, the economical supply of water to a soda drink.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a self-primer that draws a limited amount of water from a network, preferably a pressure-free supply network, by simple, reliable means.

In order to solve this object, a watering device for watering animals, in particular pigs or cattle, having an animal-operated gate, a spout and a spout connected to the spout and preferably an inlet valve actuated by a float in a common container and at least one body. The container is configured as a housing formed from a common or multiple camcorder. In a preferred embodiment of the inventive dispenser, the displacement body is provided with immersion edges, the dispensing body being in the form of a dip or fin. In addition, the displacement body may be in the form of a rectangle, rod, cylinder or tube.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the displacement body is parallel or concentric with the float. The float, which can also be formed as a water displacement body, is preferably provided with a valve needle which acts as a choke.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the water displacement body is rigidly or surface-connected to the actuator flap, which is located in the container above the drinking trough within the overflow opening. The operating bag. is connected to a drinking cup and is inserted into or near the drinking bowl.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the actuating arm may be simply provided with a bore, wherein the actuating arm is resiliently and watertight in the container. As the actuator is moved, the amount of water flowing through the overflow opening using the water displacement body is equal to the volume of the immersed water displacement body.

By creating a wave, which is caused by the various exterior design and placement of the spill body, the amount of water flowing out of the tank can be increased.

The amount of fluid that can be displaced can be controlled by adjusting the height of the closure.

After releasing the actuating lever, the water displacement body moves freely, partially or completely protruding from the main fluid, and the liquid level is readjusted with the water flowing out of the supply line. The float valve needle, which acts as a choke, determines the fluid level in the tank. This prevents excessive water extraction when the actuator lever is moved quickly.

An advantage of the invention is that the container can be formed simply, for example by casting, pressing or deep drawing, and requires only a small number of controls, which results in high operational safety.

Detailed Description of the Invention Preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 shows a parallel arrangement of a self-acting, external actuator lever connected to a discharge water network and a displacement body and a float valve according to the invention,

Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the self-propelling device of Fig. 1,

Figure 3 is a sectional view of the self-priming device according to the invention with a displacement body positioned around the float,

Figure 4 is a sectional view of the self-priming device according to the present invention, wherein the float is also a water displacement body,

Figure 5 is a top plan view of a self-priming device according to the present invention with a drill actuated arm without a drinking bowl;

Figure 6 is a front view of the embodiment of Figure 5,

Figure 7 is a side view of the embodiment of Figure 5.

The dispenser of the present invention (Figures 1 and 2) comprises a container 3 and 11 drinking bowls made of an over-the-counter prescription. A float 4 with valve needle 5 is arranged in the tank 3. At the inlet of the tank 3 is a nozzle 2 connected by a screw connection to an inlet pipe 1. A shaft 8 is formed on the sidewall of the tank, to which 6 operating levers and 9 water displacement bodies 9 are connected. A compression spring 7 is clamped between the actuation lever 6 and the reservoir 3, which is coupled to the adjusting screw 12 located on the actuation lever 6.

The liquid flows from the inlet 1 into the container through the nozzle 2. When the float 4 reaches the surface of the liquid, the valve needle 5 connected to it closes the water inlet.

When the actuating lever 6 is moved by the animals in the opposite direction to the pressure of the compression spring 7, the water discharge body 9 rigidly connected thereto and located on its common axis 8 is discharged into the reservoir 3, thereby transferring the liquid through the overflow opening 10 to the reservoir 11.

After releasing the actuation lever 6, the water displacement body 9 emerges from the liquid and starts to replenish.

To control the water level, the valve needle 5 in the reservoir is screwed into the float 4 to a greater or lesser extent.

The back pressure of the actuating lever 6 is adjusted by the control rod 12.
