Description

The utility model relates to agricultural production, in particular to systems and devices for mechanizing the water supply of animals, both on livestock farms and in forestry, mainly lacking a centralized energy supply.

Closest to the technical nature of the claimed animal watering system is a system containing a reservoir, a pump, drinking bowls with heat exchangers and a water level mechanism, direct and return pipelines located in the ground at a depth not subject to freezing (RF patent for the invention No. 2308828 "Watering system animals with chilled water ", IPC A01K 7/00, publ. 10.27.2007). The main disadvantage of the system is the ability to work only in the warm season, because at low temperatures, the entire system of feeding the hearth into the tanks freezes. Since the “cold recovery” of one linear meter of the pipe with a soil temperature of 7-12 ° C does not exceed 20-25 W, which with good water drainage with effective aeration of the conduit in contact with the soil, the soil near the feed pipe will be “squeezed” and heated, and the efficiency of water cooling substantially or completely fall.

A known system of watering animals with heated water, comprising a heater, a pump, a control panel, a reservoir, drinking bowls with heat exchangers, (RF patent No. 2222120 "System of watering animals with heated water", IPC A01K 7/00, published on December 20, 2004).

The disadvantages of this system are:

- the need for non-freezing coolant;

- the complexity of manufacturing a shell containing pipelines for the supply of coolant and water and filled with heat insulating material)

- the need for installation of equalization tanks and heat exchangers;

- the need to place indoors a large number of parts (heater, pump, control panel, surge tanks);

A drinker containing a housing, a water cavity, a dispenser, a conical dome located at the bottom of the drinker, a heating element, and external thermal insulation (application for patent of the Russian Federation for invention No. 2011118995 "All-weather (winter) drinking bowl for animals (birds) contained open method or in rooms without heating ", IPC А01К 7/02, published on November 20, 2012). The disadvantages of the device are: the presence of an electrically conductive heating coil located inside or outside the water supply pipe in the drinking system; significant consumption of electrical energy, the risk of electric shock to animals.

The proposed utility model solves the technical problem of creating a universal animal watering system that provides a multigrade metered supply of warm water through the use of renewable inexhaustible sources of thermal and electric energy, and the absence of operating costs.

The technical problem is achieved by the fact that the drinking bowl contains a housing, water pipes, a dispenser, heating elements, external thermal insulation. At the same time, the drinking bowl is made of inclined drinking trays made of heat-insulating material, with a slope in relation to each other, connected by a system of supply and drainage pipelines connected to the well.

The task is also achieved by the fact that a submersible (artesian) pump is used to ensure water supply to the drinking tray from the well, and a self-heating cable is used to heat water in the drinking tray (s), in the supply and drainage pipelines.

The task is also achieved by the fact that the pump, self-heating cable, automation, batteries are connected to a device based on renewable energy sources.

As a source of clean water, surface or artesian waters with a temperature of 5-8 ° C are used that carry the low-grade (or geothermal) heat of the Earth, and electric energy generated by renewable sources is used to lift water from the well into the drinking tray on the earth's surface and then heat it up such as wind (due to wind power plants) and / or solar energy (due to solar modules), etc.

Said animal watering system is easy to perform and maintain. The use of presence sensors in the system can significantly save energy consumption for the operation of a submersible (artesian) pump and heating cable. Water, filling an inclined drinking tray located at an angle of 2-4 ° to the horizontal, is filled to a certain level and discharged from the other end of the drinking tray into the same or another well, depending on the length of the drinking tray, the intensity of water use, debit in the well etc. To prevent freezing of water in the tray, supply and drainage pipes, on the bottom of the tray and in the wells, a self-heating cable of a given heating power (from 10 to 80 W / l.m.) produced by the domestic industry, which maintains a given water temperature, is strengthened to the depth of freezing of the soil in a drinking tray (in winter + 10 ... + 12 ° С, in summer + 6 ... + 8 ° С). The self-heating cable is drawn through the drain pipe from the freezing depth into the drinking tray, mounted on its bottom with anti-vandal perforated plates, and at the other, lower end of the drinking tray, it also enters the supply pipe to the freezing depth. The indicated non-freezing drinker can work in several modes with algorithms that are determined by specific climatic-geographical and seasonal conditions (winter-summer), water consumption and debit in the well, weather conditions (presence, speed and stability of the wind, lighting, etc. ) and can be reconfigured automatically, switching to an economical mode of energy consumption, including due to power from charged batteries. In extreme conditions, the system works according to a certain algorithm, ensuring the discharge of residual water into the well, and preparing the automatic drinker for the subsequent trouble-free start of the system.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated in the drawing, which shows a diagram of an animal watering system.

The system consists of a submersible pump 1 installed in the well, supplying 2 and drainage 3 pipelines, a drinking bowl 4, consisting of one inclined or several inclined trays 5, made, for example, of impact-resistant heat-insulated foam polystyrene, interconnected by a piping system 6, a presence sensor 7 and self-heating cable 8, battery 9, control system 10, generating equipment based on renewable sources 11, electric energy conversion inverter 13.

The system works as follows.

In the winter. When the animal approaches the drinker 4, the presence sensor 7 is activated, and the self-heating cable 8 is connected to the power supply from the battery 9 or inverter 13 through the control system 10. When the sheath of the self-heating cable 8 is heated to a predetermined temperature (for example, + 15 ° C), the submersible pump 1. The presence of a self-heating cable 8 provides heating of the trough drinking bowl 4, melting of snow and heating of water to the appropriate temperature. The water and contact parts are heated to a predetermined temperature automatically, which was originally laid down in the algorithm of the control system 10 of the design and manufacturing technology of the patented self-heating cable 8. Water from the well 12 through the pump 1 enters the heated drinkers 4. After the animals leave the drinkers 4, it works presence sensor 7, the pump 1 is turned off. Unspent water from the drinkers 4 is drained back to the well 12.

Summer. With a large debit of water in the well 12, favorable weather conditions (wind, sunny weather), the automatic drinker 4 can be turned on both by the signal from the animal presence sensor 7 and without a signal, unnecessarily merging to the ground and flowing not into the well 12 through the drain pipe 3 , as is done in winter, and in deepening and lowering the terrain, forming streams and puddles to quench thirst and create a kind of baths for wild animals, birds and insects, creating a kind of "biotopes", especially on hot days.

Benefits:

1. The presence of a constant non-freezing source of warm clean water in winter, and cool, tonic water in summer, free from parasites, bacteria and viruses.

2. The use of renewable inexhaustible sources of thermal and electric energy.

3. The absence of mechanical moving parts, level sensors, shutoff valves, heat exchangers, reservoirs, electrically dangerous electric heaters, toxic non-freezing liquids (refrigerants, antifreeze, etc.), which increases the reliability and safety of the operation of car water cutters, especially in winter.

4. Electrical safety, as all elements of the drinker are grounded through the well.

5. No maintenance is required, routine maintenance is carried out once a year in the form of inspection of power generating equipment, lubrication, and, if necessary, replacement of worn parts and assemblies, routine maintenance is carried out during one summer day.

6. There is no environmental pollution, hydrocarbons are not used to generate electricity and heat.

7. When installing drinking water in forest and hunting grounds, in ecological reserves and nature reserves, the preservation of wild ungulate animals in winter time is not less than 50-70% of their total population that came to winter.
