SU858686A1 - Automatic waterbowl for animals - Google Patents

Description

one

The invention relates to rural; business, in particular to devices for the mechanization of the watering of animals. It can be used on large livestock farms, feedlots and free-standing courtyards in cattle with unrestrained housing.

Drinking bowls are known, which consist of a drinking bowl, a supply pipe with a float level regulator of water, a heating element with a thermostat, and protective caps for animals to access the water of the cooling system.

However, these drinkers have a relatively low reliability in the winter period of their operation. This is due to the fact that when the electricity is turned off or the heating elements are out of order, the water in the drinking bowl is overcooled and diminishes, resulting in damage to the parts and components of the drinker, failure of the supply pipelines, and ultimately disruption of the animals. .

Known drinking / containing drinking chute with valve-floats 4 level regulator, pressure and drainage pipes. Water consumption

Animals from this drinker are made with open water. C23 One of the main drawbacks of this drinker is that the trough structure of the drinker does not allow remote control of its operation, which is very important in conditions of fattening complexes, since during the winter period of operation on feeding systems for the purpose of eliminating the water supply system out of operation and the most waterers, due to the defrosting, carry out a 24 hour monitoring of their work. In addition, the drinkers are installed inside the pen where the attendants are forced to enter, which is not safe due to the aggressiveness of the animals, especially at night.

The purpose of the invention is remote control over the operation of the drinker.

This goal is achieved by the fact that the file is equipped with a sound alarm device that has a membrane, a cylindrical chamber with holes in the end walls and a piston rod with two pistons located in it to communicate with the membrane, the chamber connected to the discharge nozzle.

FIG. 1 shows the scheme of automatic drinking; in fig. 2 - hydraulic automatic converter.

The automatic drinking trough for animals consists of a drinking trough 1, an injection 2 and a drainage 3 nozzles, a valve-float level regulator with a valve 4 and a float 5, an audible alarm device, containing; This includes a membrane 6, a rod 7 and a hydraulic automatic converter 8, which is a cylindrical chamber 9 connected to the discharge pipe 2 with openings 10 in the end walls. Inside chamber 9, a rod 7 passes in guide sleeves IX, on which two pistons 12 are rigidly fixed.

Depending on the conditions, the autodrinker can operate in two modes: cyclic and continuous.

In cyclic mode, the drinker works during its operation during the warm period. The workflow of the drinker proceeds as follows. As the animals take water from the drinker, the water level decreases and the float 5, releasing the valve 4, ensures water flow from the discharge nozzle 2 through the valve 4 and the automatic hydraulic converter 8 to the water chute 1. At the same time, the flow of water through the automatic hydraulic converter 8 on. The pistons 12, which are floating in a stream of water with changing conditions, periodically move them vertically. As a result of this, water alternately flows out of the oppositely arranged holes 10, replenish the water level of the drinking trough I, and the stem 7 connected to. the piston 12, periodically affects the membrane 6.,

The average time interval between the approaches of the animals to the watering system at the feeding sites in the daytime is 15-20 minutes. Therefore, sound signals appear at short intervals throughout the day, which ensures that migratory birds are scared away from the drinker and that the drinker is monitored for work.

In order to prevent freezing of the drinkers during the cold period of operation, there is a need for constant monitoring of their operation. During this period, the drinking bowl works as follows.

Before transferring to the winter period of operation, the automatic valve is regulated so that it does not completely block the nozzle 2, which ensures a constant replenishment of the water of the drinking trough 1.

As a result of the constant replenishment of the drinking chute 1, the excess water is drained into the drainage pipe 3, thereby maintaining a certain temperature regime of the drinker and the constant operation of the automatic hydraulic transducer, and hence the sound device.

The presence of sound signals allows the mechanic to be outside the pen

(for example .. in the aft passage), to receive information on the flow of water; in a drinking trough and about § health. The absence of a signal indicates

5 in the absence of water in the drinking trough, and therefore the possibility of its defrosting.
