DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present inventors have long studied and practiced to propose the technical solution of the present application. The technical solution, its implementation process and principles will be further explained as follows.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 A buffer system for preventing animals from falling and being injured provided in the present embodiment, which comprises a base body, a buffer structure 2 and a drainage mechanism 3. The base body has a cavity, wherein the base body can be arranged on the ground, specifically, the base body can be a groove structure, i.e. arranged concave to the ground, and the groove structure encloses to form the cavity. The bottom of the base body is provided with the drainage mechanism 3, and the drainage mechanism 3 has at least a first fluid channel 31 and a second fluid channel 32, and the fluid in the external environment can enter the first fluid channel 31 through the second fluid channel 32. The buffer structure 2 is arranged above the drainage mechanism 3, and when the falling object collides with the buffer structure 2, the buffer structure 2 can contact with the falling object to absorb the impact force of the falling object, thereby avoiding the falling object from being injured. The buffer structure 2 is provided with a fluid gap, and the fluid falling along the gravity direction, such as flowing water, can flow to the second fluid channel 32 through the fluid gap and enter the first fluid channel 31, wherein the drainage mechanism 3 comprises a PVC drain pipe, which can be connected with a drain channel to facilitate the drainage of the flowing water.

[0030] The buffer system for preventing animals from falling and being injured provided in the present application not only can provide buffer protection for the falling animals, but also can make the sewage or rainwater and other fluids excreted by the animals flow from the buffer structure 2 to the drainage mechanism 3, and then be drained out, so as to keep the breeding site clean.

[0031] Specifically, the longitudinal section of the fluid gap in the buffer structure 2 can be regular or irregular, and the regular shape can be rectangular, trapezoidal or parallelogram. More specifically, the buffer structure 2 includes a buffer layer 21 and a permeable layer 22, which are arranged in sequence along the direction of gravity, and the permeable layer 22 has greater strength than the buffer layer 21, and the permeable layer 22 can support the buffer layer 21. The buffer layer 21 with smaller strength has a softer texture than the permeable layer 22, which can avoid injury caused by animal impact, and the relatively soft texture improves the touch when the animal contacts and improves the quality of the animal's living environment.

[0032] Among them, the buffer layer 21 and the permeable layer 22 are respectively provided with first fluid gap and second fluid gap, and the radial size of the first fluid gap is greater than that of the second fluid gap. Understandably, the fluid gap of the buffer layer 21 laid above the permeable layer 22 is smaller than that of the permeable layer 22 below. When the fluid contacts the permeable layer 22, the larger garbage contained in the fluid, such as animal excrement, branches and weeds, can remain on the surface of the buffer layer 21, avoiding falling further along the direction of gravity to the deeper part of the buffer system, so as to facilitate subsequent cleaning and maintenance.

[0033] Among them, the buffer layer 21 can be one or several of bark, sand, wood, branches, etc. More specifically, the buffer layer 21 includes carbonized bark and medium sand arranged in sequence along the direction of gravity.

[0034] Among them, the permeable layer 22 can be one or several of sand pebbles, pebbles and sand. More specifically, the permeable layer 22 includes sand pebbles and pebbles arranged in sequence along the direction of gravity.

[0035] Embodiment 2

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 The buffer system provided in this embodiment can prevent animals from being injured after falling, and its structure is basically similar to that of the embodiment, the difference is that: the base body has at least a first slope surface 11 and a second slope surface 12 arranged oppositely, and the first slope surface 11 and the second slope surface 12 enclose the base body, and the first slope surface 11 and the second slope surface 12 are used at least for guiding the fluid into the discharge mechanism 3. Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1The longitudinal section of the base body is shown in the figure, the shape of the longitudinal section of the base body can be regular or irregular, the regular shape includes rectangle, trapezoid, triangle, parallelogram, etc. Preferably, the longitudinal section of the base body is an inverted triangle, the first vertex of the inverted triangle faces downward, and the two sides form two slope surfaces of the base body, the drainage mechanism 3 is arranged at the first vertex of the triangle, and the flowing water is guided by the two slope surfaces to flow toward the drainage mechanism 3, thereby facilitating the drainage of the fluid.

[0037] Specifically, the first slope surface 11 and the second slope surface 12 can be flat surfaces or uneven surfaces. Preferably, at least part of the slope surface is a flat surface, and the included angle a between the flat surface and the ground can be an acute angle, that is, 0° < a < 90°, and the included angle a between the first slope surface 11 and the second slope surface 12 and the ground can be the same or different. Preferably, the first slope surface 11, the second slope surface 12 and the ground form an isosceles triangle, 5° < a < 40°, and the relatively gentle slope surface can increase the contact area with the buffer layer 21 or the permeable layer 22, so that the flowing water increases the contact time with the buffer layer 21 or the permeable layer 22 along the slope surface, and further filters the flowing water through the buffer layer 21 and the permeable layer 22 along the gravity direction in sequence, so as to reduce the impurity content of the flowing water in the permeable layer 22 and avoid blocking the drainage pipeline.

[0038] Specifically, the slope surface is further provided with a positioning protrusion, and the positioning protrusions of the two slope surfaces can be oppositely arranged. When the material is sequentially laid or placed in the base body to form the permeable layer 22 or the buffer layer 21, the positioning protrusion can be used to identify the thickness of the laid material, and can support the side of the permeable layer 22 or the buffer layer 21, thereby improving the support strength of the permeable layer 22 or the buffer layer 21.

[0039] Specifically, to avoid that the impurities falling into the deep part of the buffer system cause excessive accumulation of impurities and block the flow of fluid, a first transition layer 23 can be arranged between the buffer layer 21 and the permeable layer 22, and the third fluid gap on the first filter layer has a smaller radial dimension than the first fluid gap, which can block the impurities passing through the first fluid gap on the first transition layer 23. A second transition layer 24 can also be arranged between the permeable layer 22 and the drainage mechanism 3, and the fourth fluid gap on the second transition layer 24 has a smaller radial dimension than the second fluid passage 32 in the drainage mechanism 3, and the second transition layer 24 can prevent impurities with a particle size larger than the radial dimension of the second fluid passage 32 from falling and blocking the drainage mechanism 3.

[0040] Specifically, the first transition layer 23 and the second transition layer 24 can be one or more of filter plates, filter screens, gauze, gauze cloth, woven cloth and water-permeable geotextile. Preferably, the first transition layer 23 and the second transition layer 24 can be water-permeable geotextile.

[0041] More specifically, the cushion system for preventing animals from falling and getting hurt further comprises a surrounding structure 4, which is arranged at the top of the base and can be in contact with the cushion structure 2, so as to increase the strength of the cushion structure 2 and avoid the cushion layer 21 from being too loose. Preferably, the surrounding structure 4 comprises a pile body, which is inserted into the ground and surrounds the cushion layer 21, and the pile body can be made of wood, and specifically, the pile body is a Chinese fir pile.

[0042] Embodiment 3

[0043] The construction process of the cushion system for preventing animals from falling and getting hurt provided in the embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0044] 1) A recess structure is excavated on the base ground as a base;

[0045] 2) The drainage mechanism 3 is laid on the bottom of the base;

[0046] 3) The permeable layer 22, the transition layer and the cushion layer 21 are sequentially laid along the direction opposite to the gravity direction;

[0047] 4) The surrounding structure 4 is arranged along the edge of the base.

[0048] The construction process of the cushion system for preventing animals from falling and getting hurt provided in the embodiment can construct different specifications of the cushion system according to the actual needs of different animal feeding sites, which is convenient and flexible.

[0049] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concepts and characteristics of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and implement it, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
