Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of livestock machinery technology, and specifically relates to a hay-laying device for calf islands. Background Technology

[0002] The calf island consists of a box-type cattle shed and an enclosure, open on one side and closed on three sides, placed in a sunny, dry open area outside the shed. Individual calf rearing facilitates cleaning and disinfection of the calves and their living environment, prevents calves from sucking on each other, improves the calf's living environment, reduces the incidence of diarrhea and gastroenteritis, and can increase the calf survival rate to over 90%. Calf are more sensitive to cold than ordinary cattle, therefore, the insulation of the calf island is particularly important. CN201120256601.0 discloses a novel insulated calf shed, which uses non-woven fabric as the flooring, topped with dry hay, suitable for calf rearing in cold regions, and beneficial to calf growth and development.

[0003] Currently, hay is typically obtained by breaking up large square bales. This usually requires manual labor to cut the binding ropes to open the bales. After breaking them up, the hay is transported by conveyor equipment or manually to a breaking-up facility for processing. The broken hay is then manually transported and laid in the cattle sheds, resulting in high labor intensity. Furthermore, for large ranches with thousands of calf islands, manually laying hay in each island is extremely labor-intensive and inefficient. Therefore, reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving hay laying efficiency are technical problems that urgently need to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the various shortcomings of the existing technology, and in order to solve the above problems, a sloughing device for calf islands is proposed to reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve sloughing efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A mulching device for calf islands, comprising:

[0007] A bale conveying mechanism, used to carry bales and transport them to a bale fluffing mechanism;

[0008] A bale loosening mechanism, located inside the hopper, breaks up the compacted hay bales to obtain fluffy hay;

[0009] And a fluffy hay output mechanism, which is provided with a discharge port corresponding to the hopper, for conveying the fluffy hay from the hopper to the calf island.

[0010] The technical solution is further configured such that one side of the silo is the inlet, the outlet is located at the bottom of the silo, and the outlet end of the bale conveying mechanism extends into the interior of the silo through the inlet.

[0011] The technical solution is further configured such that the bale conveying mechanism includes a transmission component and a pusher frame connected by a transmission mechanism, the bale is located above the transmission component and abuts against the pusher frame, and the transmission component drives the pusher frame and the bale to move synchronously.

[0012] The technical solution is further configured such that the bale conveying mechanism also includes a conveying guide component, the pusher frame is slidably connected to the conveying guide component, and the extending direction of the conveying guide component is parallel to the extending direction of the conveying component.

[0013] The technical solution is further configured such that the pusher is arranged in a vertical direction and the pusher is a frame structure.

[0014] The technical solution is further configured such that the conveying component is a chain conveying component, a synchronous belt conveying component, or a multi-stage cylinder conveying component.

[0015] The technical solution is further configured such that the bale fluffing mechanism includes a toothed disc located at the feed inlet, the toothed disc being located above the bale conveying mechanism, and the toothed disc being mounted on a drive shaft and placed inside the hopper.

[0016] The technical solution is further configured such that a plurality of teeth are arranged on the circumference of the toothed disk, and the circumference occupied by the plurality of teeth is smaller than the circumference of the toothed disk.

[0017] The technical solution is further configured such that multiple toothed discs are spaced apart on the drive shaft, and multiple toothed discs are spaced apart along the height direction of the feed inlet.

[0018] The technical solution is further configured such that the gear discs on adjacent transmission shafts are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0019] The technical solution is further configured such that, along the direction from the top to the bottom of the silo, the distance between the multiple drive shafts and the feed inlet increases sequentially, and the drive shaft located at the bottom of the silo is adjacent to the discharge port.

[0020] The technical solution is further configured such that the fluffy hay output mechanism is located below the discharge port, and the fluffy hay output mechanism can move laterally left and right relative to the hopper to change the output direction of the fluffy hay.

[0021] The technical solution is further configured such that the fluffy hay output mechanism is slidably connected to the hopper via an output guide component, so as to realize the linear movement of the fluffy hay output mechanism relative to the hopper. The hopper is provided with a sliding drive element that is pulsatorically connected to the fluffy hay output mechanism, and the sliding drive element drives the fluffy hay output mechanism to move linearly left and right along the output guide component.

[0022] The technical solution is further configured to include a base, the bale fluffing mechanism is located at the end of the base, the bale conveying mechanism is arranged along the length of the base, and the fluffed hay output mechanism is located on the side of the base.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0025] 1. The mechanical hay bale feeder is used to feed the hay bales in one bale. The bales are conveyed to the hay bale fluffing mechanism by the hay bale conveyor, eliminating the need for manual feeding and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0026] 2. Under the conveying action of the bale conveying mechanism, the bales come into contact with the toothed discs at different positions in the hopper in sequence. The toothed discs rotate at high speed to break up the bales and improve the breaking up efficiency.

[0027] 3. Several teeth do not occupy the entire circumference of the toothed disc, preventing loose hay from being thrown back to the feed inlet.

[0028] 4. During operation, the fluffy hay output mechanism can change the output direction of the fluffy hay by moving laterally along the left and right sides of the hopper. It is suitable for calf islands with different orientations and has high flexibility. When idle, the fluffy hay output mechanism is set in the center relative to the hopper to avoid scratching.

[0029] 5. The bale conveying mechanism, bale fluffing mechanism, and fluffed hay output mechanism work together.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up," "down," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings; therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, a paving device for calf islands includes:

[0043] The bale conveying mechanism 100 is used to carry bales and convey them to the bale fluffing mechanism 200.

[0044] The bale fluffing mechanism 200 is located inside the hopper 300. The bale fluffing mechanism 200 breaks up the compacted hay in the bale to obtain fluffy hay.

[0045] And a fluffy hay output mechanism 400, which is provided corresponding to the discharge port 302 of the hopper 300, for conveying the hay from the hopper 300 to the calf island.

[0046] It is worth noting that the bales are conveyed to the bale fluffing mechanism 200 via the bale conveying mechanism 100. The bale fluffing mechanism 200 breaks up the compacted hay in the bales to obtain fluffy hay. This fluffing operation is completed within the hopper 300 to prevent the fluffy hay from scattering into the surrounding environment. Finally, the fluffy hay is discharged from the hopper 300 via the fluffy hay output mechanism 400. Through the coordinated operation of the bale conveying mechanism 100, the bale fluffing mechanism 200, and the fluffy hay output mechanism 400, with the high-speed operation of the fluffy hay output mechanism 400, the fluffy hay is sprayed into the calf island through a high-speed lift, thus completing the hay laying work. This achieves continuous integrated operation of bale conveying, hay fluffing, and output, providing convenience for laying hay in the calf island, improving hay laying efficiency, and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0047] The technical solution is further configured such that one side of the hopper 300 is the inlet 301, the outlet 302 is located at the bottom of the hopper 300, and the outlet end of the bale conveying mechanism 100 extends into the interior of the hopper 300 through the inlet 301.

[0048] It is worth noting that the bales enter the hopper 300 through the feed inlet 301 for breaking up, and the resulting hay is output through the discharge outlet 302. At the same time, the bale conveying mechanism 100 is positioned directly opposite the feed inlet 301 to facilitate the smooth transport of the bales to the hopper 300.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the bale conveying mechanism 100 includes a transmission component 101 and a pusher frame 102 connected by a transmission mechanism. The bale is located above the transmission component 101 and abuts against the pusher frame 102. The transmission component 101 drives the pusher frame 102 and the bale to move synchronously.

[0050] Specifically, a mechanical hay bale feeder is used to feed the hay bales. The hay bales are located on the side of the pusher frame 102 near the hopper 300. Since the conveyor assembly 101 and the pusher frame 102 are connected by a transmission, when the conveyor assembly 101 is running, the pusher frame 102 applies a forward pushing force to the hay bales, causing the hay bales to move toward the hopper 300. There is no need for manual feeding, which reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0051] The technical solution is further configured such that the bale conveying mechanism 100 also includes a conveying guide component 103, the pusher frame 102 is slidably connected to the conveying guide component 103, and the extending direction of the conveying guide component 103 is parallel to the extending direction of the conveying component 101.

[0052] It is worth noting that after the conveying component 101 drives the pusher frame 102 to move, the pusher frame 102 moves along the conveying guide component 103 to ensure that the conveying direction of the bales does not deviate.

[0053] The technical solution is further configured such that the pusher 102 is arranged in a vertical direction and the pusher 102 is a frame structure to reduce its own weight.

[0054] Specifically, the conveying guide assembly 103 is a guide rod, and the guide rod is provided with a guide block 105 that is slidably connected to it. The bottom of the pusher frame 102 is connected to the guide block 105 through a connecting block 104, so that the pusher frame 102 can slide along the conveying guide assembly 103.

[0055] The technical solution is further configured such that the transmission component 101 is a chain transmission component, a synchronous belt transmission component, a multi-stage hydraulic cylinder transmission component, or a multi-stage pneumatic cylinder transmission component.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, when the conveying component 101 is a chain conveying component, both ends of the chain are connected to the chain connecting block 106. A T-slot 107 is formed on the side of the guide block 105, extending along the length of the conveying guide component 103. One side of the chain connecting block 106 is provided with a T-shaped structure that matches the T-slot 107, and this T-shaped structure is embedded in the T-slot 107. A locking block 108 is provided at the end of the guide block 105. The locking block 108 is fixed to the guide block 105 by a fixing screw 109. Simultaneously, the locking block 108 has a locking screw 110 whose end abuts against the chain connecting block 106. That is, tightening or loosening the locking screw 110 changes the relative position of the chain connecting block 106 and the T-slot 107, adjusting the tension of the open chain.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, when the conveying assembly 101 is a synchronous belt conveying assembly, the synchronous belt is provided with two synchronous belt connecting blocks. Similarly, a T-slot 107 is formed on the side of the guide block 105, and the T-slot 107 extends along the length direction of the conveying guide assembly 103. The synchronous belt connecting block includes an upper connecting block 111 and a lower connecting block 112. The synchronous belt is located between the upper connecting block 111 and the lower connecting block 112 and is locked with screws. One side of the upper connecting block 111 is provided with a T-shaped structure that matches the T-slot 107, and this T-shaped structure is embedded in the T-slot 107. The end of the guide block 105 is provided with a locking block 108, and the locking block 108 is fixed to the guide block 105 by fixing screws 109. At the same time, the locking block 108 is provided with a locking screw 110 whose end abuts against the upper connecting block 111. That is, tightening or loosening the locking screw 110 changes the relative position of the upper connecting block 111 and the T-slot 107, thereby adjusting the tension of the synchronous belt.

[0058] It is worth noting that the surface of the lower connecting block 112 adjacent to the upper connecting block 111 is provided with protruding teeth corresponding to the tooth grooves of the timing belt, so as to improve the firmness of the timing belt and the timing belt connecting block and prevent slippage.

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bale fluffing mechanism 200 includes a toothed disc 201 located at the feed inlet 301. The toothed disc 201 is located above the bale conveying mechanism 100 and is mounted on the drive shaft 202 and placed inside the hopper 300. Several teeth are arranged on the circumference of the toothed disc 201.

[0060] Specifically, the drive shaft 202 is connected to the drive element, which drives the drive shaft 202 to rotate, thereby driving the toothed disc 201 to rotate. During this rotation, the teeth break up the bales of straw.

[0061] It is worth noting that the circumference occupied by the aforementioned teeth is smaller than the circumference of the toothed disc 201. In other words, the teeth do not occupy the entire circumference of the toothed disc 201, thus preventing the scattered fluffy hay from being thrown back towards the feed inlet 301. Preferably, the circumference occupied by the aforementioned teeth is 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 of the entire circumference of the toothed disc 201.

[0062] The technical solution is further configured such that a plurality of gear discs 201 are spaced apart on the drive shaft 202, and a plurality of gear discs 201 are spaced apart along the height direction of the feed inlet 301.

[0063] Specifically, the gear discs 201 on adjacent drive shafts 202 are staggered. At the same time, along the direction from the top to the bottom of the hopper 300, the distance between the multiple drive shafts 202 and the feed inlet 301 increases sequentially. That is to say, the multiple drive shafts 202 are located in the same inclined plane, and the drive shaft 202 located at the bottom of the hopper 300 is adjacent to the discharge outlet 302.

[0064] It is worth noting that, under the conveying action of the bale conveying mechanism 100, the bales come into contact with the toothed discs 201 at different positions in the hopper 300 in sequence. The toothed discs 201 rotate at high speed to break up the bales and improve the breaking up efficiency.

[0065] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the fluffy hay output mechanism 400 is located below the discharge port 302, and the fluffy hay output mechanism 400 can move laterally relative to the hopper 300 to change the output direction of the fluffy hay.

[0066] The technical solution is further configured such that the fluffy hay output mechanism 400 is slidably connected to the hopper 300 via the output guide component 700, so as to realize the linear movement of the fluffy hay output mechanism 400 relative to the hopper 300. Specifically, the fluffy hay output mechanism 400 is disposed within the aluminum profile frame 401, the output guide component 700 is a C-shaped plate, the C-shaped plate is fixed on the hopper 300, and the C-shaped plate cooperates with the inherent groove on the aluminum profile frame 401 to realize the linear movement of the fluffy hay output mechanism 400 relative to the hopper 300.

[0067] Preferably, the fluffy hay output mechanism 400 can adopt a conventional synchronous belt output structure, with baffles extending along its width spaced on the synchronous belt. The baffles apply force to the hay to facilitate the output of hay.

[0068] Furthermore, the hopper 300 is equipped with a sliding drive element 600 that is connected to the fluffy hay output mechanism 400. The sliding drive element 600 drives the fluffy hay output mechanism 400 to move linearly left and right along the output guide assembly 700. During operation, the fluffy hay output mechanism 400 can change the output direction of the fluffy hay after moving laterally left and right along the entire hopper 300, making it suitable for calf islands with different orientations and offering high flexibility. When idle, the fluffy hay output mechanism 400 is centered relative to the hopper 300 to avoid scratches.

[0069] Specifically, the fixed end of the sliding drive element 600 is connected to the fluffy hay output mechanism 400, and the movable end of the sliding drive element 600 is connected to the hopper 300. Activating the sliding drive element 600 can drive the fluffy hay output mechanism 400 to slide along the output guide assembly 700. Preferably, the sliding drive element 600 is a hydraulic cylinder.

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a base 500, the bale fluffing mechanism 200 is located at the end of the base 500, the bale conveying mechanism 100 is arranged along the length of the base 500, and the fluffed hay output mechanism 400 is located on the side of the base 500. That is to say, the base 500 integrates the bale conveying mechanism 100, the bale fluffing mechanism 200, and the fluffed hay output mechanism 400 into one unit.

[0071] This technical solution is further configured such that a movable chassis 800 is provided below the base 500, and the movable chassis 800 can be moved by vehicle towing or manually. In addition, a lifting assembly 900 is provided between the base 500 and the movable chassis 800. The lifting assembly 900 includes a lifting cylinder and a scissor support frame. The lifting cylinder drives the scissor support frame to rise and fall, thereby changing the height of the base 500 and adjusting the height of the fluffy hay output mechanism 400.

[0072] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
