Description

Drikkeventil til gr1 ise.Drinking valve for gr1 ice.

Den foreliggende opfindelse angår en drikkeventil til grise som især er velegnet til mindre grise, der er fra 0-12 uger gamle. The present invention relates to a drinking valve for pigs which is particularly suitable for smaller pigs, which are from 0-12 weeks old.

Drikkeventilen adskiller fra almindelige kendte ven-tiler ved, at våndet ledes direkte ind i munden på grisene gennem en drikkenippel der er fjederbelastet, når denne aktiveres af grisene. The drinking valve differs from ordinary known valves in that the water is led directly into the pigs' mouths through a spring-loaded drinking nipple when activated by the pigs.

På grund af at drikkeniplen er fjederbelas tet, kræves der kun et minimum af kraft at åbne for våndet, hvilket bevirker, at selv få timer gamle grise kan betjene drikkeventilen . Because the drinking nipple is spring-loaded, only a minimum of force is required to open the water, which means that even a few hours old pigs can operate the drinking valve.

Tykkelse og længde af drikkeniplen er nær identisk med soens patter, hvilket bevirker, at grisene hurtigt læ-rer at sutte vand. The thickness and length of the drinking nipple is almost identical to the sow's teats, which means that the pigs quickly learn to suck water.

Vandmængden reguleres ved at der ved indgangen til ventilen er monteret en hulplade med regulerbart gennem-strømningsareal. I den ene af hulpladerne er der et antal huller med forskellige diametre. Hulpladen sam-mennittes med en anden plade, hvori der kun er et hul. Vandmængden reguleres ved, at pladen med det ene hul drejes således at hullet placeres over et af hullerne i den anden plade. The amount of water is regulated by installing a perforated plate with an adjustable flow area at the entrance to the valve. In one of the perforated plates there are a number of holes with different diameters. The hole plate is combined with another plate, in which there is only one hole. The amount of water is regulated by turning the plate with one hole so that the hole is placed over one of the holes in the other plate.

Opfindelsen vil i det følgende blive beskrevet i hen-hold til tegningen, idet The invention will be described in the following with reference to the drawing, as

fig. 1 viser opfindelsen set i længde snit fra siden og fig. 2. viser reguleringspladen med et antal huller med uens diametre, og fig. 1 shows the invention seen in longitudinal section from the side and fig. 2. shows the regulation plate with a number of holes of unequal diameters, and

fig. 3 viser en regulereringsplade, kun med et hul. fig. 3 shows a regulating plate, only with a hole.

Drikkeventilen kan eksempelvis være fremstillet af rustfri stål og består af to hoveddele 1 og 2. Drikkeniplen 3 sidder centreret i den forreste del af ventilhuset 1, og fastholdes af en bolt 4 og en konisk fjeder 6 i ventilens bågeste del 2. The drinking valve can, for example, be made of stainless steel and consists of two main parts 1 and 2. The drinking nipple 3 is centered in the front part of the valve housing 1, and is held in place by a bolt 4 and a conical spring 6 in the arched part 2 of the valve.

Våndet tilføres gennem et filter 11 hvor eventuelle urenheder opsamles. Den ønskede vandmængde reguleres gennem hulpladerne 8 og 9. Pladerne 8 og 9 er sammennittet 10, således at den øverste plade 9 er dreje-lig. Den nederste plade 8 er forsynet med huller 12 The water is supplied through a filter 11 where any impurities are collected. The desired amount of water is regulated through the perforated plates 8 and 9. The plates 8 and 9 are joined together 10, so that the top plate 9 is rotatable. The bottom plate 8 is provided with holes 12

af forskellige dimensioner, modsat den øverste plade 9, der kun er forsynet med et hul 13. Hullet 13 i den øverste plade 9 drejes således hen over et af de ønskede huller 12 i pladen 8. of different dimensions, in contrast to the top plate 9, which is only provided with a hole 13. The hole 13 in the top plate 9 is thus rotated over one of the desired holes 12 in the plate 8.

Drikkeniplen 3 holdes centreret i ventilhuset 1 af den koniske fjeder 6. Under bolten 4 er der anbragt en gummiring 5, der hindrer våndet i at trænge igen-nem drikkeniplen 3, når denne ikke aktiveres. The drinking nipple 3 is kept centered in the valve housing 1 by the conical spring 6. A rubber ring 5 is placed under the bolt 4, which prevents the water from penetrating the drinking nipple 3 when it is not activated.

Idet grisen påvirker niplen 3 til en af siderne, løf-tes bolten A, hvorved våndet ledes ind i ventilhuset 1, og videre ud gennem drikkeniplen 3. As the pig affects the nipple 3 to one of the sides, the bolt A is lifted, whereby the water is led into the valve housing 1, and further out through the drinking nipple 3.

Gummimanchetten 7 er fastgjort mellem det forreste og det bågeste ventilhus 1,2 og drikkeniplen 3. Man-chettes formål er at slutte tæt omkring drikkeniplen 3, således at vandmængden ikke udledes mellem det forreste ventilhus 1 og niplen 3, men-sørger for at våndet ledes ud gennem drikkeniplen 3. The rubber cuff 7 is fixed between the front and most curved valve housing 1,2 and the drinking nipple 3. The purpose of the cuff is to close tightly around the drinking nipple 3, so that the amount of water is not discharged between the front valve housing 1 and the nipple 3, but ensures that the water is led out through the drinking nipple 3.

På tegningen er drikkeventilen vist i et bestemt mål-forhold, men der er intet til hinder for at ventilen kan fremstilles i andre dimensioner, ligesom den og-så kan anvendes til andre dyr end grise. In the drawing, the drinking valve is shown in a specific measurement ratio, but there is nothing to prevent the valve being manufactured in other dimensions, just as it can also be used for animals other than pigs.
