The present invention relates to an improvement in automatic water supply for animals, in particular pigs.

In the above-mentioned prior art relating to the automatic water supply device, a flow control device such as a valve, a mouthpiece, or the like is provided in or adjacent to the water supply container.

Therefore, the mouth of the animal is in unnecessary contact with such a flow control device due to mischief, and the water is wasted as well as the automatic water supply device is often broken. That is, when animals such as pigs often open the valve by jokingly or when the animal does not drink water and excess water flows down, the animal's food waste blocks the drainage passage.

Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to provide automatic control by using a flow control vessel which is located at a high place inaccessible to animals and which has a stop valve and a mouth and a siphon for regulating the flow rate in the self-contained water container. It is possible to completely remove valves, mouthpieces or similar flow regulators from the water supply vessel, and to provide an automatic water supply system for animal breeding to ensure an efficient water supply to substantially replenish the amount of water drunk by the water supply pipe. .

The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, a suitable embodiment of the automatic water supply device for animal breeding according to the present invention includes a storage tank 5 installed at a high place and water stored in the storage tank 5 into a plurality of flow regulating containers 3. A plurality of self-contained water containers, each of which communicates with the flow control vessel 3 via a water supply pipe 4 and another water supply pipe 2 for supplying, are provided. As shown in detail in FIG. 5A, for example, a pair of self-contained water containers 1 may be provided in contact with each other on the rear surface in an open or closed housing for breeding pigs, or the water supply pipe 2 may have a flow rate. The control vessel 3 and the water supply pipe 4 may be in communication with the water storage tank 5, but the present invention is not limited only to the form of such a drainage device.

The flow regulating container 3 should be located at a high place inaccessible to animals such as pigs.

The waterproof opening of the water supply pipe 2 extending into the water supply container 1 may be surrounded by a barrier 14 or the like as shown in FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the flow regulating vessel 3 is divided into an upper chamber 6 and a lower float chamber 15.

The control chamber 6 communicates with the feed pipe 4 through a short upright hollow cylindrical neck 13 extending from the top of the flow regulating vessel 3 while the float chamber 15 feeds water. It communicates with the self-contained container 1 through the pipe 2.

The float 7 installed in the float chamber 15 is connected to the valve body 9 and the hollow-cylindrical cylindrical portion 13 by a valve rod 8, depending on the position of the float 7 due to the water level in the float chamber 15. Alternately, as the valve body 9 is approached to be spaced apart or closed to open the waterproof opening of the feed pipe 4, the inflow of water in the control chamber 6 is allowed or blocked.

The control chamber 6 and the float chamber 15 communicate with each other by a siphon tube 10 of an elliptical or rectangular shape having an inverted J-shaped cross section. The short legs 11 of the siphon tubs 10 are located in the control chamber 6 and the inlet of the siphon tubs 10, ie the lower end of the short legs 11, is slightly distanced from the bottom of the control chamber 6. There is a lot of snow.

The long legs 12 extend through the bottom surface of the control chamber 6 into the float chamber 15 and have waterproof holes at the bottom thereof.

Next, the operation of the automatic water supply device having the above structure will be described.

The water in the float chamber 15 is discharged so that the mouth 7 is located under the float chamber 15 and as a result the valve body 9 is isolated from the waterproof opening of the feed pipe 4 as shown in FIG. Let's assume Water may then flow into the control chamber 6 from the reservoir tank 5 through the feed pipe 4.

The water level stored in the control chamber 6 is above the top of the siphon tube 10 and the water in the control chamber 6 flows directly into the float chamber 15 through the siphon tube 10 due to the siphon action. .

When the water level in the control chamber 6 falls below the inlet of the siphon tube 10, that is, the lower end of the short leg 11, the inflow of water from the control chamber 6 into the float chamber 15 is prevented.

On the other hand, when the water level in the float chamber 15 raises the mouth 7, the valve body 9 closes the waterproof port of the feed pipe 4, and as a result, the inflow of water into the control chamber 6 is prevented.

Water in the float chamber 15 flows into the self-contained water container 1 through the water supply pipe 2, and the water level in the self-contained water container 1 rises above the waterproof port of the water supply pipe 2.

At this stage the water is drained as shown in Figure 6b.

In this state, the state of the inside and the bottom of the flow regulating container 3 is substantially similar to that of the bottle 20 in which the water is filled and the neck is locked upside down in the pot-type container 21 as shown in FIG.

The atmospheric pressure acting on the water in the pot-type vessel 21 is equal to the sum of the head pressure in the bottle 20 and the pressure of the air sealed in the bottle 20, and is lower than the atmospheric pressure so that the bottle has an equilibrium of pressure. The outflow of water from 20 can be prevented.

When the water level in the pot-type container 21 becomes below the outlet of the bottle 20, a small amount of air flows into the bottle 20, and a considerable amount of water is higher than the water outlet of the bottle 20 in the pot-type container 21. It flows into the pot-shaped container 21 until it is slightly elevated, that is, between the pressure and the sum of the head in the bottle 20 and the sum of the pressure therein.

As shown in FIG. 6B, the same applies to the flow regulating container 3, the water supply pipe 2, and the self-contained water container 1. FIG.

That is, an equilibrium is made between the sum of the air pressure and the head of the flow regulating container 3, the head of the feed pipe 2, and the pressure of air sealed in the float chamber 15.

Therefore, while the water level in the self-contained container 1 is more than the waterproof port of the water supply pipe 2, the water does not flow into the container 1 in the float chamber 15. As shown in FIG. 6D, when a pig or similar animal drinks water in the container 1 and the water level of the container 1 falls below the waterproof hole of the water supply pipe 2, some air floats through the water supply pipe 2 It flows into the chamber 15 and flows out of the float chamber 15 into the vessel 1 until a considerable amount of water reaches the equilibrium conditions described above.

When the water level in the float chamber 15 falls below the predetermined level, the float 7 is moved down from the position where the valve body 9 closes the waterproof port of the water supply pipe 4, and as a result, the water as shown in FIG. Flows into the control chamber 6 in the manner described above.

This step is circulated repeatedly as the water in the vessel is consumed.

As apparent from the above description, the water supply device according to the present invention can completely eliminate the deficiencies of the valve device, the mouthpiece, or the like in a conventionally used water supply container, so that water is wasted due to mischief of animals when using a conventional flow control device. The problem was solved.

In addition, the water supply device of the present invention is a flow control device having a unique pressure balance structure which is installed at a high position inaccessible to animals such as pigs and has siphon tubs, mouths, and valves which are functionally related as described above. The use of the unit ensures automatic and reliable water supply into the vessel.
