Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a drinking part cover in an automatic waterer for pig farming, and is characterized by the shape and structure of the front opening of the drinking part cover.

This type of water dispenser can be roughly divided into two methods: a method in which livestock drink water by directly holding the water dispenser in their mouths, and a method in which livestock drink from stored water. The present invention relates to a drinking part cover of an automatic water dispenser in the latter case. Previously, the top of the drinking section was open to speed up getting used to the drinking device. However, pigs are mischievous, and they will put filth into the drinking water area or step in with their front and hind legs, which is not only unhygienic, but also causes serious environmental pollution as the drainage holes and pipes become clogged with the filth. It was coming. Also, pigs like to play in water, sticking their noses into the water area and shaking it from side to side.
There was also the inconvenience of water being splashed onto the floor of the livestock barn. Furthermore, playing in the water placed a heavy burden on the septic tank.

As a device to overcome these drawbacks, there is a Utility Model Application No. 126122/1983 (FIG. 5) by the applicant of the present application. However, the inclination angle of the front surface of the drinking part cover is large in this invention, and it is not sufficient. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a drinking area cover that completely eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks by further improving the shape of the front opening of the drinking area cover.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Drinking part cover A has a nearly vertical opening 1 in the front,
The opening 1 has a structure in which the upper end 1b is slightly set back from the lower end 1a. Further, the opening 1 has an elliptical shape in front, with the upper and lower front ends formed in an inverted U-shape and a vertical wall at the center, which is a feature of the present invention. The upper inner surface 2 of the drinking part cover A has a horizontal portion 2a at the rear and lower side from the upper tip 1b.
After that, the bottom inner surface 3 gently slopes 3a in a straight line backward and downward from the lower tip 1a.
A curved concave water storage portion 3b is provided, extends upward, and continues to the upper inner surface 2. A mounting plate A' is integrally provided on the back. There are openings 1 on both sides of the drinking area cover A.
A hole 4 for both supply and drainage is located lower than the lower tip 1a of the
Set up opposite. The opening 1 on the front surface of the drinking part cover A has a special shape that allows only the tip of the pig's snout to enter and controls the movement of the snout, and was devised after many years of research by the applicant.

The separately provided water supply valve mechanism B has a water inlet hole 6 on the outer periphery of the valve box 5 and a water inlet hole 7 on the left end gasket seat.
and a valve operating rod 9 provided integrally with the valve 8.
A spring 11 is wrapped around the spring 11 to protrude from the water hole 7 and fastened with a pin 12, and a conical filter 13 is removably attached to the valve box 5 so as to cover the valve 8 and cover the water hole 7. . The socket 14 communicates with a water supply pipe 15, and a valve box 5 is placed inside the socket 14.
The gap 16 is maintained and the two are airtightly connected. A screw tube 17 is screwed onto the left end of the socket 14, and when the screw tube 17 is connected to the water supply hole 4 of the drinking section cover A, the valve operating rod 9 projects horizontally into the drinking section cover A. be. Further, a drain pipe (not shown) is connected to the drain hole 4.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and its operation will be explained below.

The drinking part cover A is attached to the pigsty wall via the mounting plate A'.
It is fixed to a fence or the like with bolts or the like, and the water supply valve mechanism B is connected to the water supply hole 4 of the drinking part cover A (either the left or right is designated as the water supply hole depending on the circumstances of the pigpen). In this state, in order for the pig to drink the water inside the drinking part cover A, the pig pushes its snout horizontally from the front of the drinking part cover A. The movement of the nose tip is restricted by the special shape of the opening 1 to prevent mischief, but the nose tip naturally presses the valve operating rod 9 to open the valve 8, and water flows from the water supply hole 4 to the reservoir. 3b, and the pigs will drink this water. Although drinking water for the pigs continues to be supplied, surplus water flows out from the other drainage hole 4 and does not overflow onto the floor of the pigsty. When the pig's snout passes through the opening 1, the valve operating rod 9 returns to its original position and the water supply is stopped. A small amount of water accumulates in the water storage section 3b, and serves as a source of water for next drinking.

As mentioned above, since the front surface of the drinking area cover of the present invention has an almost vertical elliptical opening, (a) the pig has to stick its snout in the horizontal direction; (b) It prevents the front and rear legs from stepping on it, and (c) the water storage part is covered over almost the entire surface, preventing dirt from entering from above, making it sanitary. (d) No filth enters the drain hole, (e) Therefore, there is no fear that the drain pipe will be clogged with filth, and (f) the level of contamination caused by the waste water is significantly reduced, which is suitable for environmental hygiene. (g) The opening is shaped so that only the tip of the pig's snout fits, so they cannot play in the water (pigs especially like playing in the water in midsummer), and (h) they do not allow water to splash when drinking. (i)
Therefore, the amount of wastewater is small and the burden on the septic tank is reduced.
(j) Furthermore, the drinking area cover is manufactured in a small size and has many excellent effects, such as being economical since only a small amount of raw material is required.
