Embodiment one

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 to 8 , the farm cleaning system of the present application includes a farm 20 and a cleaning device 10 for cleaning the farm. As shown in Figures 1 to 2 , the cleaning device 10 includes a shell section 11, a driving source 12, and a first driving wheel 13. The first driving wheel 13 is installed at the end of the shell section 11 and is connected with the driving source 12, which is used to control the movement of the entire cleaning device 10.

[0042] The shell side 11 is provided with a swing arm 14 on both sides, the swing arm 14 is rotatably connected to the shell side 11 through a swing shaft 15, and the swing arm 14 can rotate inward or outward along the swing shaft 15. A cleaning turntable 16 is also installed below the swing arm 14. A driving motor is built in the swing arm 14, which drives the cleaning turntable 16 to rotate at high speed to clean the excrement. During the high-speed rotation of the cleaning turntable 16, the swing arm 14 can also be controlled to swing inward or outward to clean and gather the excrement. A manure suction structure 17 is also arranged in the middle of the shell side 11, which is used to suck the cleaned and gathered excrement.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2 The manure suction structure 17 includes a connecting frame 171 and a second driving wheel 172, and the connecting frame 171 is fixedly connected to the middle of the shell side 11. The second driving wheel 172 is arranged on the connecting frame 171, and the second driving wheel 172 is also connected with the driving source 12 for driving the whole cleaning device 10. A storage cylinder 173 is arranged on the top of the connecting frame 171, which is used to store the collected excrement, and a first feeding pipe 174 is arranged at the bottom of the storage cylinder 173. The end of the connecting frame 171 away from the second driving wheel 172 is provided with a manure suction head 175, and the manure suction head 175 is connected with a second feeding pipe 176, which is connected with the first feeding pipe 174.

[0044] Further, a plurality of cleaning nozzles 1711 are arranged at the bottom of the connecting frame 171, which are arranged behind the manure suction head 175 and spray high-pressure water or disinfectant gas outward to quickly and comprehensively clean and disinfect the breeding farm.

The cavity cylinder 1710 is in communication with the storage cylinder 173 through the filter cylinder 179 and the conical cylinder 178, and a fan can be arranged on the top of the cavity cylinder 1710 to disperse the odor of the excrement in the storage cylinder 173, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning of the storage cylinder 173. Embodiment two

[0046] This embodiment includes all the contents of the above embodiments, and further discloses how the cleaning device 10 cleans the farm 20. The cleaning device 10 moves in a straight line within the farm 20 to sweep and collect the manure within the farm 20. In the prior art, controlling the cleaning device 10 to clean the farm 20 generally uses an S-shaped reciprocating motion to perform a comprehensive cleaning of the farm. Although this method can clean the farm 20 from all angles, it requires driving all the pigs outside the farm 20 when cleaning the manure, so this method is not efficient. Another method, such as CN114796575A, allows the cleaning device 10 to receive instructions from a remote platform or app to execute specified tasks or perform work at specified locations. However, during the cleaning process, the pigs will move irregularly within the farm, preventing the cleaning device 10 from moving to the designated location.

[0047] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, an image recognition device 30 is installed above the farm 20. This image recognition device 30 is used to identify the coordinates of several pigs 50, several manure coordinates 40, and the coordinates of the cleaning device 10 within the farm 20. The farm 20 is constructed in a square structure and divided into several detection zones. One manure coordinate 40 is randomly selected, and the distances from several detection zones to that manure coordinate 40 are calculated (e.g., ...). Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 The numbers in the detection zones represent the distances from the detection zones to the feces coordinate 40. At this point, the coordinates of the cleaning device 10 are determined. Based on the distances of several detection zones to the feces coordinate 40, the shortest route from the cleaning device 10 to the feces coordinate 40 is defined as a predetermined route. The cleaning device 10 moves along the predetermined route. The farm 20 has several pig coordinates 50. If one of the pig coordinates 50 coincides with the predetermined route, the predetermined route is adjusted according to the distances of several detection zones to the feces coordinate. An infrared sensor 18 is also installed at the front end of the cleaning device 10 to detect whether a pig coincides with the predetermined route.

[0048] like Figure 7 As shown, when the cleaning device 10 moves along a predetermined route, the infrared sensor 18 detects that the coordinates of a pig ahead coincide with the predetermined route. It then obtains the distance A0 between the cleaning device's coordinates and the feces' coordinates at this point, moves the cleaning device to a distance of A0+1 from the feces' coordinates, and uses A0+1 as the starting point and the feces' coordinates as the ending point to determine the first memorized route. (Reference) Figure 6, the outer red sensor 18 detects that the live pig coordinate coincides with the established route, and the distance between the cleaning device 10 and the feces coordinate 40 is 2. At this time, the cleaning device 10 can be moved to the left or to the right to a distance of 3 from the feces coordinate 40, and a first memory route is re-established with the point as the starting point. Since the live pig moves in the pig farm 20 in a small range, if the cleaning device 10 moves to the left or to the right irregularly, the memory route established may coincide with the same live pig, thereby affecting the moving efficiency of the cleaning device 10.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the cleaning device is moved to A0+1 from A0 in the weight direction, and the mark point is set in the opposite direction of the weight direction. For example, the cleaning device is moved to A0+1 from A0 to the left, and the weight direction is set to the left, and the mark point is set in the right direction, which indicates that the live pig moves nearby.

[0050] If the live pig coordinate coincides with the first memory route, the distance A1 between the cleaning device coordinate and the feces coordinate at this time is obtained, the cleaning device is moved to A1+1 from the feces coordinate, and a second memory route is established with A1+1 as the starting point and the feces coordinate as the ending point. The direction in which the cleaning device moves from A1 to A1+1 is the same as the weight direction. That is, if the direction in which the cleaning device moves from A0 to A0+1 to the left is set as the weight direction, and the mark point is set in the right direction. When the live pig coordinate coincides with the first memory route, the cleaning device 10 moves to A1+1 from A1 to the left, and the second memory route is established. This avoids the situation that the first memory route is established by moving to the left, and then the second memory route is established by moving to the right, the second memory route coincides with the same live pig, and the moving efficiency of the cleaning device 10 is improved. By analogy, the cleaning device 10 moves to the feces coordinate 40, and the cleaning device 10 is started to clean the feces. Embodiment Three

[0051] On the basis of the above embodiment, the present embodiment is further disclosed. The above embodiment randomly determines a feces coordinate 40, and then establishes and adjusts the route according to the feces coordinate 40. Since the feces coordinate 40 is randomly selected, the cleaning device 10 moves according to the randomly selected feces coordinate 40, which easily increases unnecessary moving distance. To this end, the present embodiment further improves the problem.

[0052] As Figure 8As shown, the farm 20 has a first direction X and a second direction Y, and the manure coordinates 40 are composed of the first direction coordinates and the second direction coordinates. Several manure coordinates 40 are recorded: (X1, Y1), (X2, Y2), (X3, Y3), (X4, Y4), (X5, Y5), (X6, Y6), (X7, Y7)... When determining the manure cleaning order, the first direction coordinates or the second direction coordinates are prioritized. That is, the first direction X coordinate value on the manure coordinates 40 is compared first; if the first direction X coordinate values ​​are equal, the second direction Y coordinate value on the manure coordinates 40 is compared. Subsequently, the manure coordinates are sorted according to the first direction X coordinate values ​​and the second direction Y coordinate values, and the manure coordinates 40 are determined sequentially. This avoids unnecessary movement of the cleaning device due to random determination of manure coordinates, thus improving the endurance of the cleaning device 10. Example 4

[0053] like Figures 9 to 10 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a method for cleaning a farm, which includes the following steps:

[0054] Step 1: Use the image recognition device to identify the coordinates of several pigs, several manure, and cleaning devices within the farm;

[0055] Step 2: Sort the fecal coordinates in sequence and determine one of the fecal coordinates;

[0056] Step 3: Calculate the distance of several detection zones from the coordinates of the feces, determine the predetermined route for the cleaning device to reach the coordinates of the feces, and move the cleaning device along the predetermined route;

[0057] Step 4: Determine whether the pig coordinates coincide with the predetermined route. If the pig coordinates coincide with the predetermined route, adjust the predetermined route according to the distance of several detection areas from the feces coordinates.

[0058] Step 4.1: If the pig coordinates coincide with the predetermined route, obtain the distance A0 between the cleaning device coordinates and the feces coordinates at this time, move the cleaning device to a distance of A0+1 from the feces coordinates, and formulate the first memory route with A0+1 as the starting point and the feces coordinates as the ending point.

[0059] Step 4.2: If the pig coordinates coincide with the first memory route, obtain the distance A1 between the cleaning device coordinates and the feces coordinates at this time, move the cleaning device to a distance of A1+1 from the feces coordinates, and formulate the second memory route with A1+1 as the starting point and the feces coordinates as the ending point.

[0060] Step4.3: the direction of moving the cleaning device from A1 to A1+1 is the same as the weight direction, the direction of moving the cleaning device from A0 to A0+1 is set as the weight direction, and a mark point is set in the opposite direction of the weight direction.

[0061] In the farm cleaning method of the present application, the specific steps of sequentially sorting the coordinates of the excrement in Step 2 are as follows: the coordinates of the excrement are divided into first direction coordinates and second direction coordinates, wherein, when determining the excrement cleaning sequence, the first direction X coordinate value on the excrement coordinate is preferentially compared, if the first direction X coordinate value is equal, the second direction Y coordinate value on the excrement coordinate is compared, and finally the first direction X coordinate value and the second direction Y coordinate value are sorted and the excrement coordinate value is sequentially determined.

[0062] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
