[0002] With the improvement of living standards, the demand for meat such as mutton is increasing day by day, making large-scale indoor farming has become the main current farming method. Factory management and production reduce the farming cost and improve economic benefits. However, the more sheep are intensively farmed, the more feces are generated accordingly. If not cleaned in time, the feces will ferment and rot, emitting a large amount of harmful gases such as ammonia, which has a great impact on environmental quality. At the same time, it will cause diseases in aspects such as the respiratory system, eyes and body surface of sheep. The environmental sanitation problem in the shed has become the biggest disease-causing factor in indoor sheep farming, causing great losses to farmers. In addition, the cleaning of feces in the farming area has become the biggest workload for breeders, and the labor cost has become the biggest production cost in large-scale indoor sheep farms. The manual method of cleaning feces is simple and convenient, but the workload of farmers is large, the cleaning efficiency is not high, and the feces cannot be cleaned in time.

[0057] As Figures 1-11 shown, the intelligent manure cleaning robot includes an aggregate box body 1, a manure shoveling assembly 2, a conveying structure 3, a trolley driving structure 4, and an intelligent control system 5;

[0058] The manure shoveling assembly 2 is arranged on the left side of the aggregate box body 1, and the manure shoveling assembly 2 is used to shovel up and concentrate the manure on the ground;

[0059] The conveying structure 3 is arranged between the manure shoveling assembly 2 and the aggregate box 1. The conveying structure 3 is used to transport the manure collected by the manure shoveling assembly 2 into the aggregate box 1. By using the manure shoveling assembly 2 and the conveying structure 3 in cooperation, the manure on the ground can be collected into the aggregate box 1, and at the same time, continuous manure cleaning operation can be realized.

[0060] The trolley driving structure 4 is arranged below the aggregate box 1 to provide power for the whole manure cleaning robot. The trolley driving structure 4 is used to drive the movement of the whole robot. The trolley driving structure 4 adopts an existing driving structure, which consists of a power system, that is, a motor, a battery, a transmission system, a steering system, and a control system. The intelligent control system 5 is arranged on the aggregate box 1. The intelligent control system 5 is used to intelligently control the robot to carry out manure cleaning work.

[0061] As Figures 1-4 shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the manure shoveling assembly 2 includes a manure shoveling plate 6, a first U-shaped plate 7, and a second U-shaped plate 8.

[0062] The left end face of the aggregate box 1 is an inclined plane, and the first U-shaped plate 7 is inclined and arranged on the left end face of the aggregate box 1.

[0063] The second U-shaped plate 8 is horizontally arranged. The left end of the second U-shaped plate 8 is connected to the right end of the first U-shaped plate 7. The front and rear ends of the second U-shaped plate 8 are respectively arranged at the left ends of the front and rear side walls of the aggregate box 1.

[0064] The right end of the manure shoveling plate 6 is arranged at the left end of the first U-shaped plate 7 and is in a horizontal state. The left end face of the manure shoveling plate 6 is designed to be inclined with the left end lower and the right end higher, similar to the design of a dustpan. The leftmost end is the thinnest to facilitate shoveling the manure. When the trolley driving structure 4 drives the whole manure cleaning robot to move, the manure on the ground is shoveled up by the manure shoveling plate 6 and piled up at the position of the left lower ends of the manure shoveling plate 6 and the first U-shaped plate 7, which is convenient for the conveying structure 3 to transport the concentrated manure and realize continuous operation.

[0065] As Figures 1-5 shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the conveying structure 3 includes a first screw conveyor 9 and a second screw conveyor 10.

[0066] The connection between the manure shoveling plate 6 and the bottom wall of the first U-shaped plate 7 is rounded to form an arc-shaped groove. The purpose of rounding is to facilitate the subsequent rotation of the first spiral blade 11 and the second spiral blade 12. The first spiral blade 11 and the second spiral blade 12 are arranged symmetrically before and after at the connection between the manure shoveling plate 6 and the bottom wall of the first U-shaped plate 7. The spiral directions of the first spiral blade 11 and the second spiral blade 12 are opposite. A connecting sleeve 13 is arranged between the first spiral blade 11 and the second spiral blade 12. The rear end of the rotating shaft of the first spiral blade 11 is arranged at the front end of the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve 13 through a bearing. The front end of the rotating shaft of the second spiral blade 12 is arranged at the rear end of the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve 13 through a bearing. There is a gap between the rear end of the rotating shaft of the first spiral blade 11 and the front end of the rotating shaft of the second spiral blade 12. By arranging the first spiral blade 11 and the second spiral blade 12, the manure accumulated on the manure shoveling plate 6 can be conveyed to the front and rear ends of the manure shoveling plate 6, facilitating subsequent transfer and transportation. Through the connecting sleeve 13, the material conveying directions of the first spiral blade 11 and the second spiral blade 12 can be opposite, or the rotation direction of the driving motor can be changed to make the material conveying directions of the first spiral blade 11 and the second spiral blade 12 the same. In the case of relatively less manure, one-way material conveying can be carried out;

[0067] The left lower end of the front side wall of the first U-shaped plate 7 is provided with a first driving motor 14. The output shaft of the first driving motor 14 penetrates through the front side wall of the first U-shaped plate 7 and is connected to the front end of the rotating shaft of the first spiral blade 11. By arranging the first driving motor 14, the first spiral blade 11 can be driven to rotate, thereby realizing the conveyance of the manure accumulated on the manure shoveling plate 6 to the front end of the manure shoveling plate 6. The left lower end of the rear side wall of the first U-shaped plate 7 is provided with a second driving motor 43. The output shaft of the second driving motor 43 penetrates through the rear side wall of the first U-shaped plate 7 and is connected to the rear end of the rotating shaft of the second spiral blade 12. By arranging the second driving motor 43, the second spiral blade 12 can be driven to rotate, thereby realizing the conveyance of the manure accumulated on the manure shoveling plate 6 to the rear end of the manure shoveling plate 6. At the same time, the larger pieces of manure can be chopped by the spiral blades, facilitating conveyance;

[0068] The first screw conveyor 9 is arranged on the first U-shaped plate 7 and is located on the front side, the feed port of the first screw conveyor 9 extends to the top of the front end of the first spiral blade 11 and there is a gap between the two, the discharge port of the first screw conveyor 9 extends to the right end of the aggregate box 1, and the feces transmitted to the front end of the shovel plate 6 by the first spiral blade 11 is lifted and transported by the first screw conveyor 9, and enters the interior of the aggregate box 1 through the discharge port to realize the collection of feces, the second screw conveyor 10 is arranged on the first U-shaped plate 7 and is located on the rear side, the feed port of the second screw conveyor 10 extends to the top of the rear end of the second spiral blade 12 and there is a gap between the two, the discharge port of the second screw conveyor 10 extends to the left end of the aggregate box 1, and the feces transmitted to the rear end of the shovel plate 6 by the second spiral blade 12 is lifted and transported by the second screw conveyor 10, and enters the interior of the aggregate box 1 through the discharge port to realize the collection of feces. The discharge port enters the interior of the aggregate box 1 to realize the collection of feces. By setting up two screw feeders, on the one hand, the transportation efficiency is accelerated to avoid excessive feces accumulation at the connection between the shoveling plate 6 and the first U-shaped plate 7, affecting the subsequent feces shoveling work. On the other hand, the discharge port of the first screw feeder 9 extends to the right end of the aggregate box 1, and the discharge port of the second screw feeder 10 extends to the left end of the aggregate box 1, so that the discharge of one left and one right, one front and one back is realized, so that the feces entering the aggregate box 1 is laid relatively evenly, avoiding the situation where there is more on one side and less on the other side. Furthermore, when the feces is relatively small, the first spiral blade 11 and the second spiral blade 12 can be set to transfer materials in one direction, so that only one screw feeder can be turned on, and the other screw feeder is in standby state, which saves power and energy while also allowing rotation of operations, effectively extending the service life of the screw feeder.
