Abstract

A livestock water dispenser that is easy to clean and that is suitable for a calf or foal with a small body and a short neck is provided.
A rear flange extending outward is provided on a rear outer wall. The front outer wall 31 is not provided with a flange. A pulling force is applied to the foundation bolt 38. In order to withstand this force, it is necessary to secure the concrete thickness T1 in the vicinity of the rear flange 36. On the other hand, since the foundation bolt is not fastened to the front outer wall 31, the concrete thickness T2 in the vicinity of the front outer wall 31 can be reduced. If it is an adult cattle with a long neck, it is possible to drink water from the rear outer wall 33 side or drink water from the front outer wall 31 side, but if it is a calf with a short neck, it is possible to drink water from the front outer wall 31 side. I will drink. Therefore, it is convenient for the calf not to provide the front outer wall 31 with a flange.

Description

  The present invention relates to a livestock water supply device that allows cattle and horses to drink water.

  A livestock waterer is indispensable for raising livestock. A simple water tank is not sufficient, and a water supply suitable for cattle and horses is desired. Conventionally, water supply of various structures has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1 (FIG. 2)).

Patent document 1 is demonstrated based on the following figure.
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional livestock water supply device. A cage-shaped cow water supply device 103 including a bottom portion 101 and a cylindrical portion 102 is made of a synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride (Patent Document 1, paragraph number [0008]). And a partition lid 104 that is divided in the vertical direction and is arranged between the partition lid 104 and the bottom 101 and has an inner cylinder 105 that is smaller in diameter than the cylindrical portion 102.

  Water supplied into the inner cylinder 105 through the water supply / drainage pipe 106 is guided to the outside of the inner cylinder 105 through the slit 107 and the hole 108, passes through the hole 109 provided in the partition lid 104, and is placed on the partition lid 104. Led.

By the way, cows may drink water with some food around their mouths. Then, a part of the bait falls into the cow water dispenser 103 and accumulates on the partition lid 104. For a long time, a part of the bait falls through the gaps around the hole 109 and the partition lid 104 and accumulates on the bottom 101. In particular, the bait falling through the gap around the partition lid 104 concentrates on the inner corner 111 where the bottom 101 and the cylindrical portion 102 intersect.
Since the inner corner portion 111 has a right-angle cross section, it is difficult for stubs and sponges to enter the corner. As a result, the cleaning time becomes long and the cleanliness is low. As a countermeasure, a structure that can be easily cleaned is required.

By the way, since the cow water feeder 103 is bowl-shaped, one set is prepared for one cow. In large-scale barns with many heads, it is necessary to place a large number of units. In a large-scale barn, a water supply that can be used simultaneously by multiple heads is required. Then, the water supply apparatus suitable for such a use is known (for example, refer patent document 2 (FIG. 3, FIG. 4)).
The

Patent document 2 is demonstrated based on the following figure.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of another conventional livestock water supply device. As shown in FIG. 7A, the livestock water supply device 120 includes a bottom plate 121, left and right walls 122 and 123, and a rear wall 124. And the water tank part 126 formed with a front wall (FIG.7 (b), code | symbol 125) becomes a main element.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line bb in FIG. 7A, an oblique plate 127 is passed from the rear wall 124 to the front wall 125. The front part of the diagonal plate 127 is a ridge 128, and foreign substances falling on the diagonal plate 127 are collected. A heater 129 is disposed on the bottom plate 121.

  In FIG. 7A, water is supplied to the water tank unit 126 through the through hole 131 from the water storage unit 130 disposed adjacent to the water tank unit 126. The foreign matter falling on the oblique plate 127 slides down the ridge 128 and is discharged together with water from the drain hole 132 at one end.

  A portion 133 where the oblique plate 127 and the left wall 122 intersect is substantially a right angle. A portion 134 where the oblique plate 127 and the right wall 123 intersect is also substantially perpendicular. Because it is a right-angled cross section, it is difficult for scrubs and sponges to enter, and cleaning is difficult. A structure that is easy to clean is required.

Moreover, since it drains from the one drain hole 132, draining takes time. Rapid drainage is desired.
In addition, when the heater 129 shown in FIG. 7B is energized, the slanting plate 127 is warmed on average, but a considerable part of the heat escapes from the front wall 125 and the rear wall 124. A device is desired for the arrangement and heating method of the heater 129.

JP-A-10-174535 Utility Model Registration No. 3112680

  Although this invention responds to various above-mentioned requests, it makes it a subject to provide the livestock water supply device which is especially easy to clean.

The invention according to claim 1 is a livestock water dispenser that is made of fiber reinforced plastic and includes a water tank composed of a bottom and a side wall, an outer wall that surrounds the side wall from the outside, and supplies water to cattle and horses. And
The side wall includes a front wall, a rear wall, and a left / right wall, and the outer wall includes a front outer wall, a rear outer wall, a left outer wall, and a right outer wall,
The water tank is a horizontally long water tank in which the length of the front wall is (4 to 5) times the length of the left and right walls, the portion where the bottom and the side wall intersect, the front wall and the left and right The part where the right wall intersects and the part where the rear wall and the left / right wall intersect each other have a rounded dimension of 40 to 75 mm.

  In the device according to claim 2, a heater for warming drinking water stored in the water tank is attached to the lower surface of the bottom, and the heater extends along the front wall at a position closer to the front wall than the center of the bottom. It is provided in.

  The invention according to claim 3 includes left and right flanges projecting outward at the lower ends of the left and right outer walls, a rear flange projecting outward at the lower end of the rear wall, and foundation bolts on the left and right flanges and the rear flange. It is characterized by passing through.

  In the device according to claim 4, the bottom has a left drainage hole near the left wall and a right drainage hole near the right wall, the bottom has a high left and right center, and left and right drainage holes. It is characterized by a gradient so as to be lowered.

  In the invention according to claim 1, the part where the bottom and the side wall intersect, the part where the front wall and the left / right wall intersect, and the part where the rear wall and the left / right wall intersect each other have a rounded dimension of 40 to 75 mm, If it is this round dimension, a scourer and sponge will penetrate | invade enough and cleaning will become easy.

  In addition, when it is less than 40 mm, it becomes difficult to enter a large scourer. It is inconvenient that you need to prepare large and small scourers. When it exceeds 75 mm, the volume of the water tank becomes small. Accordingly, a round dimension of 40 to 75 mm is appropriate.

  In addition, because the front wall is a horizontal tank that is (4-5) times longer than the length of the left and right walls, it is possible to supply 3-5 livestock at the same time. However, the number of installed water supply units can be reduced.

  In the device according to claim 2, a heater is attached to the bottom lower surface. Even in cold regions, it is possible to warm the water to the temperature of drinking. Since the heater is directly attached to the bottom, the bottom can be efficiently heated.

In addition, according to the second aspect, the heater is provided along the front wall at a position closer to the front wall than the center of the bottom.
The heater is generally provided at the center of the bottom, but an upward flow is generated at the center, and the tip of the upward flow is a downward flow to the front wall and a downward flow to the rear wall. Drinking water becomes turbulent because the flow is divided back and forth in the upper center. If the flow is disturbed, there is a concern that the livestock will feel strange.
In this regard, in the present invention, since the heater is close to the front wall, a circulating flow is generated that rises along the front wall, moves from the front wall to the rear wall, and descends along the rear wall on the upper surface. The laminar flow is in the upper center, and the flow is uniform and gentle, so there is no worry of giving the animal a sense of incongruity.

  In the device according to claim 3, the front outer wall is not provided with a flange. Since there is no flange, the livestock can be brought closer to the front outer wall than the other walls. In particular, a water supply suitable for calves and foals with a small body and a short neck is provided.

  In the device according to claim 4, since the left and right drain holes are provided at the bottom, the drainage time can be greatly shortened as compared with the case where there is one drain hole.

It is a top view of the water feeder for livestock which concerns on this invention. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line 2-2 of FIG. FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3-3 in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4-4 of FIG. It is an effect | action figure of a heater. It is sectional drawing of the conventional livestock water feeder.

On the other hand, the front outer wall 31 is not provided with a flange. This is one of the structural features.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the upper end of the left wall 24 and the upper end of the left outer wall 32 are connected by an upper left edge 41, and the upper end of the right wall 26 and the upper end of the right outer wall 34 are connected by an upper right edge 42. A portion where the left wall 24 and the bottom 21 intersect is a radius dimension R5 of 50 mm, and a portion where the right wall 26 and the bottom 21 intersect is a radius dimension R6 of 50 mm. The radius dimensions R5 and R6 are preferably 50 mm, but may be 40 mm to 75 mm.

The bottom 21 has a left drain hole 43 and a right drain hole 44. The left drain hole 43 is provided in the vicinity of the left wall 24, and the right drain hole 44 is provided in the vicinity of the right wall 26.
The bottom 21 is sloped so that the left and right center are high and the left and right drain holes 43 and 44 are low. When draining, water flows as indicated by arrows (1) and (2) and is discharged from the left drain hole 43 and the right drain hole 44.

  When only two drain holes 43 and 44 are provided as in the present invention, compared to the case where only one drain hole is provided at the left and right center, the drain time is reduced to half or less. In the case of only one drainage hole, the drainage time was around 1 minute. When two drain holes 43 and 44 were provided as in this example, drainage was completed in about 20 seconds.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a float valve 50 is attached to an end of a water supply pipe 46 connected to a water pipe via an elbow 47. The float valve 50 includes a ball tap 51 that is a special on / off valve and a float 52 that opens and closes the ball tap 51. When the water level is lowered and the float 52 is lowered, the ball tap 51 is opened through the link 53, and water is supplied. When the water level rises with the water supply and the float 52 rises to a predetermined height, the ball tap 51 is closed via the link 53.

  The float valve 50 is surrounded by a guard 48 having a U-shaped cross section, which is formed by bending a metal plate so that the cow does not come into contact. Preferably, the guard 48 is covered with a cushion material 49 such as urethane rubber.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the upper end of the front wall 23 and the upper end of the front outer wall 31 are connected by a front upper edge 54, and the upper end of the rear wall 25 and the upper end of the rear outer wall 33 are connected by a rear upper edge 55. A portion where the front wall 23 and the bottom 21 intersect is a radius dimension R7 of 50 mm, and a portion where the rear wall 25 and the bottom 21 intersect is a radius dimension R8 of 50 mm. The radius dimensions R7 and R8 are preferably 50 mm, but may be 40 mm to 75 mm.

  A sheet-like heater 57 called a silicon rubber heater is attached to the lower surface of the bottom 21. Although the heater 57 may be provided at the center, in this example, the heater 57 is disposed offset toward the front wall 23. In addition, a foam heat insulating material 58 is sprayed on the lower surface of the bottom 21, between the front wall 23 and the front and rear walls 25, between the rear wall 25 and the rear rear wall 25, and the like. As a result, the horizontally long water tank 20 is kept warm from the outside.

The rear outer wall 33 is provided with a rear flange 36 at the lower portion, but the front outer wall 31 is not provided with a flange.
The front outer wall 31 includes a concave bead 59 at the lower portion, and this bead 59 exhibits a reinforcing action.

  The foundation bolt 38 is embedded in the concrete base 39, and the rear flange 36 is fastened to the foundation bolt 38. A pulling force is applied to the foundation bolt 38. In order to withstand this force, it is necessary to secure the concrete thickness T1 in the vicinity of the rear flange 36. On the other hand, since the foundation bolt is not fastened to the front outer wall 31, the concrete thickness T2 in the vicinity of the front outer wall 31 can be reduced.

  If it is an adult cattle with a long neck, it is possible to drink water from the rear outer wall 33 side or drink water from the front outer wall 31 side, but if it is a calf with a short neck, it is possible to drink water from the front outer wall 31 side. I will drink. Therefore, it is convenient for the calf not to provide the front outer wall 31 with a flange.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the heater 57 may be arranged at the center of the bottom 21 (the center of the front wall 23 and the rear wall 25). However, ascending flows 61 and 61 are generated in the center, and the tip of the ascending flow 61 becomes a descending flow 62 along the front wall 23 and a descending flow 63 along the rear wall 25. Drinking water becomes turbulent because the flow is divided back and forth in the upper center. If the cow 64 is nervous, there is room for improvement.

As shown in FIG. 5 (b), since the heater 57 is close to the front wall 23, the water rises along the front wall 23, and moves from the front wall 23 to the rear wall 25 on the upper surface. A circulating flow 65 descending along the surface is generated. There is a laminar flow in the upper center, and there is no need to worry about the cow 64 feeling uncomfortable.
Therefore, FIG. 5B is recommended from FIG.

  The livestock water feeder of the present invention is suitable for cattle, but can be widely applied to livestock such as horses, sheep and goats.

  The livestock water dispenser of the present invention is suitable for cattle.
