Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to a sheepfold for separating feces and urine in black goats. Background Technology

[0002] Separate sheep pens are architectural facilities that provide living and management space for sheep flocks. Through reasonable layout and environmental control, different types of sheep are separated to improve flock health, productivity, and management efficiency. They are managed in zones based on sheep needs, habits, age, sex, or reproductive status, which can reduce flock conflict and disease transmission.

[0003] Separating sheep pens offers numerous advantages. In terms of hygiene and health management, separating different types of sheep avoids cross-infection of diseases, and zoned management makes cleaning and disinfection more efficient. In terms of feeding and reproductive management, separating pregnant and lactating ewes allows for targeted feed and care, meeting the sheep's nutritional needs and reducing competition. It also reduces stress, fighting, and tension, improving production efficiency and enabling more precise reproductive management.

[0004] Separate sheep pens include both single-function and multi-functional integrated types. Single-function pens are divided according to the different functions of the sheep, while multi-functional integrated pens offer flexible partitioning. In short, separate sheep pens provide a scientific and efficient management model, and their design is developing towards intelligence and automation, making sheep farming more convenient and efficient.

[0005] While current technology for separating sheep pens offers many advantages in management, it also has some drawbacks. Firstly, modern separating sheep pens require significant investment in construction and equipment, especially the installation of automated feeding and cleaning facilities, which can be economically burdensome for small-scale farms. Furthermore, automated equipment and ventilation systems require regular maintenance and repair, increasing operating costs. Finally, although separating sheep pens are designed with environmental control in mind, maintaining a comfortable environment in each area under extreme weather conditions remains a challenge.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a sheep pen for separating feces and urine of black goats to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a goat pen for separating feces and urine in black goats. This pen collects goat urine and feces in a centralized manner and automatically separates them into corresponding collection pools after collection, making it easy to clean.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0009] This invention provides a sheep pen for separating urine and feces of black goats. The sheep pen is a shed-type sheep pen with a corrugated board at the bottom. A collection trough is provided on one side of the corrugated board. A urine collector and a feces collector are sequentially provided at one end of the collection trough. A urine collection pool and a feces collection pool are provided at the bottom of the urine collector and the feces collector.

[0010] The sheepfold includes a roof, a sheep pen, and several support rods. The tops of the support rods are connected to the roof. The sheep pen is located in the middle of the support rods, and a mesh-like bottom is laid on the bottom of the sheep pen. One end of a corrugated plate is connected to one end of the bottom of the sheep pen. The side of the corrugated plate connected to the bottom of the sheep pen is connected to the bottom of the support rod opposite to the corrugated plate connected to the sheep pen. The angle between the corrugated plate and the horizontal plane is between 35° and 45°. The end of the corrugated plate connected to the support rod is connected to a collection trough. The end of the collection trough equipped with sheep urine collectors and sheep manure collectors has an angle between 5° and 8° with the horizontal plane.

[0011] The sheepfold is paved with a mesh floor to prevent sheep manure and urine from accumulating inside and to facilitate cleaning. Corrugated boards collect falling manure and flowing urine; their slope of 35°-45° reduces the difficulty of manually collecting them into the collection trough. The bottom of the collection trough connects to a manure collection pool, while the upper part connects to a urine collection pool. The slope of the collection trough ranges from 5°-8°, which helps in the collection of sheep manure and urine.

[0012] The sheep urine collector includes a flat plate and a grid plate. The grid plate is laid at the bottom of the collection trough, and the flat plate is connected to the bottom of the grid plate. The flow rate of sheep urine entering the sheep urine collection pool can be controlled by moving the position of the flat plate in the horizontal direction. The sheep manure collector includes a baffle located at the side end of the sheep urine collector and movably connected to the end of the collection trough. The opening and closing of the sheep manure collector can be controlled by moving the baffle in the vertical direction. The sheep urine collection pool and sheep manure collection pool are located at the bottom of the sheep urine collector. The collection port of the sheep urine collection pool is located in the same vertical direction as the grid plate; the collection port of the sheep manure collection pool is located at the bottom of the sheep urine collector, and the port of the sheep manure collection pool is located in the same vertical direction as the port of the collection trough.

[0013] When the sheepfold is not being cleaned, the flat panel of the sheep urine collector is opened to 1 / 4 of its capacity. During cleaning, it is fully opened, and closed to 1 / 4 of its capacity once the urine has mostly drained, thus separating the urine from the feces. In use, both urine and feces enter the collection trough and are slowly moved to the urine collector. The urine flows through the mesh panel into the urine collection pool below, while the feces are held in place by the baffle on the mesh panel, reducing urine waste and improving fecal dryness. When too much feces accumulates in the collection trough, the baffle can be pushed down to move it to the feces collection pool at the trough's end, and then the baffle can be pushed back using a tool.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this solution are:

[0015] The sheepfold separation system of this invention employs an advanced automated collection system that can efficiently and centrally collect urine and feces produced by sheep flocks. After collection, it automatically separates the urine and feces, transporting them to dedicated urine collection pools and feces collection pools respectively. This design not only greatly facilitates subsequent cleaning and sterilization work but also effectively reduces cross-contamination and odor problems that may result from mixed processing, significantly improving the overall hygiene level of the sheepfold. At the same time, the device reduces the frequency of manual operation and equipment wear and tear, reduces the cost of regular maintenance and repair, and further saves on long-term investment in equipment, making it highly practical and economical.

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0022] Example:

[0023] The solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention is as described above, which provides a sheepfold for separating feces and urine of black goats. The sheepfold is a shed-type sheepfold. The bottom of the shed-type sheepfold is provided with a corrugated plate 2. A collection trough 3 is provided on one side of the corrugated plate 2. A sheep urine collector 4 and a sheep manure collector 5 are provided in sequence at one end of the collection trough 3. A sheep urine collection pool 6 and a sheep manure collection pool 7 are provided at the bottom of the sheep urine collector 4 and the sheep manure collector 5.

[0024] The sheepfold includes a roof 1, a sheep pen 12, and several support rods 13. The tops of the support rods 13 are connected to the roof 1. The sheep pen 12 is located in the middle of the support rods 13, and the bottom of the sheep pen 12 is covered with a mesh-like bottom net 8. One end of a corrugated plate 2 is connected to one end of the bottom of the sheep pen 12. On the opposite side of the corrugated plate 2 connected to the bottom of the sheep pen 12, the bottom of the support rod 13 is connected to the side of the corrugated plate 2 connected to the sheep pen 12. The angle between the corrugated plate 2 and the horizontal plane is between 35° and 45°. The end of the corrugated plate 2 connected to the support rod 13 is connected to a collection trough 3. The collection trough 3 is equipped with a sheep urine collector 4 and a sheep manure collector 5. The angle between the end of the collection trough 3 and the horizontal plane is between 5° and 8°.

[0025] The sheepfold is paved with a mesh bottom net 8, which effectively prevents sheep manure and urine from accumulating inside. This not only facilitates daily cleaning but also significantly improves flushing efficiency, thus maintaining a clean and hygienic environment. The corrugated board 2, typically made of plastic or aluminum, has a corrugated structure that helps to collect and concentrate falling sheep manure and flowing urine. When the installation slope of the corrugated board 2 is between 35° and 45°, it significantly reduces the difficulty of manual operation, making it easier to guide waste to the collection trough 3. The bottom of the collection trough 3 connects to the sheep manure collection pool 7, while the upper part of the trough connects to the sheep urine collection pool 6. This reasonable structural design achieves effective separation of manure and urine. The overall slope of the collection trough 3 is controlled between 5° and 8°. This slope range is conducive to the natural flow of sheep manure and urine and ensures the efficient and stable operation of the entire collection system.

[0026] The sheep urine collector 4 consists of a flat plate 9 and a grid plate 10. The grid plate 10 is laid at the bottom of the collection trough 3, and the flat plate 9 is connected to the bottom of the grid plate 10. By moving the position of the flat plate 9 in the horizontal direction, the speed at which sheep urine flows into the sheep urine collection pool 6 in the collection trough 3 can be adjusted. The sheep manure collector 5 includes a baffle 11, which is located at the side end of the sheep urine collector 4 and is movably connected to the end of the collection trough 3. By moving the baffle 11 in the vertical direction, the opening and closing of the sheep manure collector 5 can be controlled. The sheep urine collection pool 6 and the sheep manure collection pool 7 are located at the bottom of the sheep urine collector 4. The collection port of the sheep urine collection pool 6 is in the same vertical direction as the grid plate 10; the sheep manure collection pool 7 is located at the bottom of the sheep urine collector 4, and the collection port of the sheep manure collection pool 7 is in the same vertical direction as the port of the collection trough 3.

[0027] During routine sheepfold management, the flat plate 9 of the sheep urine collector 4 should be kept open to about one-quarter of its original position when not being cleaned, allowing sheep urine to flow moderately into the collection system. During thorough cleaning, the plate should be fully opened to facilitate complete drainage of waste. When the flow of sheep urine is nearly complete, the plate should be adjusted back to one-quarter of its original opening to effectively separate sheep urine from sheep feces, preventing them from mixing and affecting subsequent processing.

[0028] The specific workflow is as follows: Sheep urine and feces first enter the collection tank 3, and are slowly transported to the sheep urine collector 4 through the tank. At this time, the sheep urine flows smoothly into the sheep urine collection pool 6 located at the bottom through the gaps in the mesh plate 10, while the solid sheep feces are effectively intercepted by the baffle 11 above and temporarily stored on the surface of the mesh plate. This design not only significantly reduces the loss of sheep urine, but also accelerates the natural drying process of sheep feces by isolating the liquid, thereby improving the usability of fecal resources.

[0029] When the accumulated sheep manure in the collection trough 3 reaches a certain amount, the operator can manually push down the baffle 11 to move the accumulated manure along the trough to the end and into the dedicated sheep manure collection pool 7. After cleaning, the baffle 11 needs to be returned to its original position with the help of tools to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the system. The entire operation process takes into account both efficiency and functionality, effectively optimizing the resource utilization of livestock waste.

[0030] When using the device according to the above embodiments of the present invention, sheep manure and urine fall through a mesh-like bottom net onto a corrugated plate with an inclination angle of 35°-45°, and then collect on a collection trough upper plate with an inclination angle of 5°-8°. They then reach a urine collector slightly higher than the lowest point, the bottom of which is a closable flat plate composed of a flat plate and a mesh plate. When cleaning the sheepfold, the flat plate (usually 1 / 4 size) is pulled to its maximum to fully expose the mesh plate, facilitating the flow of urine into the collection pool. When the urine has mostly drained, the flat plate is closed to 1 / 4 of its original size. After processing the urine, the manure collector can be opened. When not in use, the baffle is located at the bottom of the urine collector. When manure needs to be collected, it is removed, and the manure is pushed to the opening of the manure collection pool using a tool. After processing, it is returned to its original position.

[0031] The above specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to these embodiments without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
