Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of animal husbandry, in particular to an automatic pig manure collection system. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid expansion of the swine farming industry, pig production has increased annually, generating significant amounts of pig manure. To ensure the health of the pigs on farms, farmers typically need to regularly clean and recycle manure within their sheds. However, due to the large size of farms, cleaning and clearing manure requires significant effort and time, and is also inefficient, hindering the scale and cost control of pig farming. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an automatic pig manure collection system that can automatically clean and collect pig manure, and has a high degree of automation, high cleaning efficiency and low manufacturing cost to address the above problems.

[0004] A pig manure automatic collection system comprises: a pigpen, the pigpen comprising a pigpen body and a pig manure containing trough, a plurality of penning areas being arranged at intervals on the pigpen body, a first opening being respectively opened on the plurality of penning areas and communicating with the pig manure containing trough, a second opening being opened on the pig manure containing trough, the second opening being used to communicate with a pig manure collecting container; a collecting device, the collecting device being arranged on the pig manure containing trough, the collecting device being movable on the pig manure containing trough, the collecting device forming at least a first position and a second position when moving on the pig manure containing trough, the collecting device being close to the second opening when located at the second position; a driving mechanism, the driving mechanism being connected to the collecting device; a control device, the control device being arranged on the pigpen, the control device being electrically connected to the driving mechanism, and the control device being used to control the collecting device to reciprocate between the first position and the second position of the pig manure containing trough.

[0005] The automatic pig manure collection system disclosed in the present application has a first opening connected to a pig manure storage tank provided in each of the multiple enclosure areas of the pigpen. The pig manure in the enclosure area is cleaned into the pig manure storage tank through the first opening within a certain period of time or at a certain storage volume. A collection device is docked on the pig manure storage tank. When not in operation, the collection device is docked at the first position of the pig manure storage tank. The collection device is turned on by a control device under set working conditions, and the control device controls the driving mechanism to drive the collection device from the first position to the second position. During the movement, the collection device continuously and centrally collects the pig manure at the multiple first openings, and finally outputs the collected pig manure at the second position through the second opening to a processing container outside the pigpen. The above-mentioned automatic pig manure collection system realizes the automation of the pig manure cleaning work by providing a collection device for automatically collecting pig manure on the pigpen and controlling the automatic opening and closing of the collection device through the control device, thereby greatly reducing the operator's workload and helping to save cleaning costs.

[0006] Optionally, the control device may be configured to activate the collecting device at a certain time period.

[0007] Optionally, the control device may control the activation of the collecting device according to information such as the height position of the pig manure on the pig manure containing trough or the overall weight of the pig manure.

[0008] In one embodiment, the collecting device includes a frame, a moving mechanism and a baffle mechanism, the moving mechanism is arranged on the frame, the moving mechanism is connected to the baffle mechanism, and the baffle mechanism is located on at least one side of the moving direction of the collecting device.

[0009] The aforementioned automatic pig manure collection system further defines the collection device as comprising a frame, a motion mechanism, and a baffle mechanism. When the collection device moves within the pig manure storage tank, the motion mechanism cooperates with the baffle mechanism to enable the baffle mechanism to centrally collect pig manure at different positions within the pig manure storage tank. Furthermore, the motion mechanism is configured to better adjust the position between the baffle mechanism and the pig manure storage tank, allowing for flexible adjustment of the weight of the collection device pushing and collecting the pig manure within the pig manure storage tank, further ensuring the normal operation of the collection device, improving the stability of the automatic pig manure collection system, and facilitating operation.

[0010] In one embodiment, the motion mechanism includes a connecting rod assembly, and the connecting rod assembly is connected to the frame and the baffle mechanism respectively.

[0011] The aforementioned automatic pig manure collection system further specifically defines a motion mechanism comprising a connecting rod assembly. The connecting rod assembly is separately connectable to the vehicle frame and the baffle mechanism. By providing the connecting rod assembly to control the movement of the baffle mechanism, the connection structure is simple and reliable. Furthermore, the connecting rod assembly can effectively mitigate the reaction force of the pig manure weight on the baffle mechanism during the pig manure collection process, thereby better protecting the drive mechanism, improving the overall performance of the automatic pig manure collection system, and extending its service life.

[0012] In some embodiments, the motion mechanism further includes wheel assemblies disposed on the left and right sides of the frame in the direction of movement, and the wheel assemblies are capable of at least partially abutting against the bottom wall or side walls of the pig manure storage trough. The provision of the wheel assemblies allows the collection device to move more smoothly and conveniently within the pig manure storage trough, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of pig manure collection.

[0013] In one embodiment, the connecting rod assembly includes at least a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are rotatably connected, the first connecting rod is connected to the baffle mechanism, and the second connecting rod is slidably connected to the frame at one end away from the first connecting rod.

[0014] The above-mentioned automatic pig manure collection system is further defined as follows: the connecting rod assembly includes at least a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, and the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are rotatably connected. The baffle mechanism is connected to the first connecting rod, and the end of the second connecting rod away from the first connecting rod can slide up and down on the frame. As the collection device pushes the pig manure to the second position, the weight of the collected pig manure gradually increases. When the reaction force of the pig manure weight on the baffle mechanism is greater than the range value that the baffle mechanism and the driving mechanism can withstand, the baffle mechanism pushes back on the first connecting rod. Through the rotational connection between the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, and the state of the second connecting rod sliding up and down on the frame, the first connecting rod can be lifted away from the bottom of the pig manure storage tank, and the baffle mechanism is lifted upward, thereby increasing the gap between the baffle mechanism and the bottom of the pig manure storage tank. The amount of pig manure collected by the baffle mechanism is reduced, which is beneficial to protecting the driving mechanism and extending the service life of the driving mechanism.

[0015] In one embodiment, the motion mechanism further includes a lifting mechanism, which is disposed on the vehicle frame and can be connected to and separated from the connecting rod assembly. When the lifting mechanism is connected to the connecting rod assembly, the connecting rod assembly lifts the baffle mechanism and moves the baffle mechanism away from the pig manure containing trough. When the lifting mechanism is separated from the connecting rod assembly, the connecting rod assembly lowers the baffle mechanism and makes the baffle mechanism at least partially abut against the pig manure containing trough.

[0016] The above-mentioned automatic pig manure collection system is further defined as follows: the motion mechanism also includes a lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism can be connected to the connecting rod assembly, and the lifting mechanism can also be separated from the connecting rod assembly.

[0017] Specifically, when the collection device moves to the first position, the lifting mechanism can be triggered to lower the baffle mechanism through the connecting rod assembly, so that the baffle mechanism can better cooperate with the pig manure storage tank and achieve the pushing and scraping collection of pig manure. When the collection device moves to the second position, the lifting mechanism can be triggered to raise the baffle mechanism through the connecting rod assembly, thereby reducing the friction between the baffle mechanism and the pig manure storage tank, reducing the movement resistance of the collection device, and helping to save energy and costs.

[0018] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism includes a third connecting rod and a roller assembly, wherein the roller assembly is rotatably connected to the third connecting rod. One end of the third connecting rod is capable of sliding on the vehicle frame, and the other end of the third connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod.

The first base station in the first position includes a first base station body, a first inclined block assembly, and a first elastic member, wherein the first inclined block assembly and the first elastic member are disposed on the first base station body. When the collection device is in the first position, the vehicle frame abuts the first elastic member, the roller assembly rises along the first inclined block assembly, and the limit member disengages from the limit portion.

When the collection device moves to the first position, the frame abuts against and compresses the first elastic member on the first base station, the roller assembly moves on the first inclined block assembly, the limit portion on the third connecting rod is loosened and disengaged from the limit portion of the second connecting rod, the second connecting rod rotates and descends, thereby lowering the first connecting rod, and the baffle mechanism also descends. The baffle mechanism cooperates with the pig manure storage tank to prepare to push and scrape the pig manure in the pig manure storage tank. When the collection device moves to the second position, the frame abuts against and compresses the second elastic member on the second base station, the roller assembly moves on the second inclined block assembly, the limit portion on the third connecting rod engages with the limit portion of the second connecting rod, the second connecting rod rotates and rises, thereby raising the first connecting rod, and the baffle mechanism also rises and prepares to return to the first position.

[0021] In one embodiment, the automatic pig manure collection system also includes a first base station, which is arranged on the pigpen body or the pig manure containing tank, and the first base station is located at the first position of the pig manure containing tank. When the collection device moves to the first position and abuts against the first base station; the driving mechanism drives the collection device to move toward the second position, or the driving mechanism stops working.

[0022] The aforementioned automatic pig manure collection system further defines a first base station disposed on the pigpen, which is used to trigger and control the docking and movement of the collection device. The first base station is located at a first position in the pig manure storage tank. When the collection device moves to the first position and abuts the first base station, the control device is triggered, thereby triggering the drive mechanism to drive the collection device toward the second position, or triggering the control device to stop the drive mechanism, thereby stopping the collection device from moving.

The first detection device is electrically connected to the control device, and the first detection device can trigger the control device to control the driving mechanism to drive the collecting device to move from the first position to the second position.

[0024] The above-mentioned automatic pig manure collection system is further defined as follows: a second base station is also provided on the pigpen, and the second base station is located at the second position of the pig manure receiving tank. When the collection device moves to the second position and abuts against the second base station, the control device can be triggered, so that the control device triggers the driving mechanism to drive the collection device to move toward the first position, or triggers the control device to control the driving mechanism to stop working.

[0025] In one embodiment, the automatic pig manure collection system also includes a second base station, which is arranged on the pigpen body or the pig manure containing tank, and the second base station is located at the second position of the pig manure containing tank. When the collection device moves to the second position and abuts against the second base station, the driving mechanism drives the collection device to move toward the first position, or the driving mechanism stops working.

[0033] The aforementioned automatic pig manure collection system further defines a baffle mechanism comprising a first baffle and a second baffle, each of which is located on the movement mechanism and is disposed opposite each other at the front and rear sides of the frame in the direction of movement. The provision of multiple baffles can improve the efficiency of collecting pig manure within the pig manure storage trough, thereby effectively enhancing the collection effect.

Optionally, the traction mechanism includes a pulley and a traction rope, and the traction rope is wound around the pulley and the driving mechanism, respectively. The traction rope is connected to the connecting structure at the same time. Driven by the rotation of the driving mechanism, especially the driving motor, the traction rope drives the pulleys on the first base station and the second base station to rotate, and the traction rope pulls the connecting structure, and finally drives the frame to move. The above-mentioned collection device has a simple structure, a stable and reliable running trajectory, and has low performance requirements for the driving mechanism, which is conducive to saving manufacturing costs.

[0059] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other.

[0060] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0061] The following describes the automatic pig manure collection system according to some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0062] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment discloses an automatic pig manure collection system, comprising: a pig pen 1, the pig pen 1 comprising a pig pen body 11 and a pig manure receiving tank 12, a plurality of enclosure areas 111 being spaced apart on the pig pen body 11, a first opening 101 being opened on each of the plurality of enclosure areas 111 and communicating with the pig manure receiving tank 12, a second opening 102 being opened on the pig manure receiving tank 12, the second opening 102 being used to communicate with a pig manure collecting container; a collecting device 2, the collecting device 2 being arranged on the pig manure receiving tank 12, and the collecting device 2 being able to collect pig manure in the pig manure receiving tank 12. The collecting device 2 moves on the accommodating trough 12, and when moving on the pig manure accommodating trough 12, at least a first position 103 and a second position 104 are formed. When the collecting device 2 is at the second position 104, it is close to the second opening 102; a driving mechanism 3, the driving mechanism 3 is connected to the collecting device 2; a control device 4, the control device 4 is arranged on the pigpen 1, the control device 4 is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 3, and the control device 4 is used to control the collecting device 2 to reciprocate between the first position 103 and the second position 104 of the pig manure accommodating trough 12.

[0063] The automatic pig manure collection system disclosed in the present application has a first opening 101 connected to the pig manure storage tank 12, which is respectively provided in the multiple confinement areas 111 of the pig pen 1. The pig manure in the confinement area 111 is cleaned into the pig manure storage tank 12 through the first opening 101 within a certain period of time or a certain storage volume. A collection device 2 is docked on the pig manure storage tank 12. When not in operation, the collection device 2 is docked at the first position 103 of the pig manure storage tank 12. The collection device 2 is turned on by the control device 4 under the set working conditions, and the control device 4 controls the driving mechanism 3 to drive the collection device 2 to move from the first position 103 to the second position 104. During the movement, the collection device 2 continuously and centrally collects the pig manure at the multiple first openings 101, and finally outputs the collected pig manure at the second position 104 through the second opening 102 to the processing container outside the pig pen 1. The above-mentioned automatic pig manure collection system realizes the automation of pig manure cleaning work by arranging a collection device 2 for automatically collecting pig manure on the pigpen and controlling the automatic opening and closing of the collection device 2 through the control device 4, thereby greatly reducing the operator's workload and saving cleaning costs.

[0064] Optionally, the control device 4 may be configured to start the collecting device 2 within a certain period of time.

[0065] Optionally, the control device 4 may control the activation of the collecting device 2 according to information such as the height position of the pig manure on the pig manure containing trough 12 or the overall weight of the pig manure.

[0066] like Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that: the collecting device 2 includes a frame 21, a moving mechanism 22 and a baffle mechanism 23, the moving mechanism 22 is arranged on the frame 21, the moving mechanism 22 is connected to the baffle mechanism 23, and the baffle mechanism 23 is located on at least one side of the moving direction of the collecting device 2.

[0067] The above-mentioned automatic pig manure collection system further defines the collection device 2 as including a frame 21, a motion mechanism 22, and a baffle mechanism 23. When the collection device 2 moves in the pig manure storage tank 12, the motion mechanism 22 can cooperate with the baffle mechanism 23 to realize the baffle mechanism 23 to collect pig manure at different positions in the pig manure storage tank 12. In addition, the setting of the motion mechanism 22 is used to better adjust the position between the baffle mechanism 23 and the pig manure storage tank 12, and the push and collection weight of the pig manure in the pig manure storage tank 12 by the collection device 2 can be flexibly adjusted, further ensuring the normal operation of the collection device 2, improving the stability of the automatic pig manure collection system, and facilitating operation.

[0068] like Figure 7 、 Figure 8As shown, further, the motion mechanism 22 includes a connecting rod assembly 221, and the connecting rod assembly 221 is connected to the frame 21 and the baffle mechanism 23 respectively.

[0069] The aforementioned automatic pig manure collection system further specifically defines: the motion mechanism 22 includes a connecting rod assembly 221. The connecting rod assembly 221 can be connected to the vehicle frame 21 and the baffle mechanism 23. By providing the connecting rod assembly 221 to control the movement of the baffle mechanism 23, the connection structure is simple and reliable. The connecting rod assembly 221 can also effectively buffer the reaction force of the pig manure weight on the baffle mechanism 23 during the pig manure collection process, thereby better protecting the drive mechanism 3, improving the overall performance of the automatic pig manure collection system, and extending its service life.

[0070] In some embodiments, the motion mechanism further includes wheel assemblies 222, which are disposed on the left and right sides of the frame 21 in the direction of movement. The wheel assemblies 222 can at least partially abut against the bottom wall or side walls of the pig manure storage trough 12. The wheel assemblies 222 facilitate smoother and more convenient movement of the collection device 2 within the pig manure storage trough 12, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of pig manure collection.

[0071] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting rod assembly 221 includes at least a first connecting rod 2211 and a second connecting rod 2212, the first connecting rod 2211 and the second connecting rod 2212 are rotatably connected, the first connecting rod 2211 is connected to the baffle mechanism 23, and the second connecting rod 2212 is slidably connected to the frame 21 at one end away from the first connecting rod 2211.

[0072] The aforementioned automatic pig manure collection system further defines a connecting rod assembly 221 comprising at least a first connecting rod 2211 and a second connecting rod 2212, which are rotatably connected. The first connecting rod 2211 is connected to a baffle mechanism 23, and the end of the second connecting rod 2212, distal from the first connecting rod 2211, is capable of sliding up and down on the vehicle frame 21. As the collection device 2 pushes the pig manure toward the second position, the weight of the collected manure gradually increases. When the reaction force of the pig manure weight on the baffle mechanism 23 is greater than the range value that the baffle mechanism 23 and the driving mechanism 3 can withstand, the baffle mechanism 23 pushes back the first connecting rod 2211. Through the rotational connection between the first connecting rod 2211 and the second connecting rod 2212, and the up and down sliding state of the second connecting rod 2212 on the frame 21, the first connecting rod 2211 can be lifted in the direction away from the bottom of the pig manure containing trough 12, and the baffle mechanism 23 is lifted upward, thereby increasing the gap between the baffle mechanism 23 and the bottom of the pig manure containing trough 12, and the amount of pig manure collected by the baffle mechanism 23 is reduced, which is beneficial to protecting the driving mechanism 3 and extending the service life of the driving mechanism 3.

[0073] like Figure 7、 Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the motion mechanism 22 also includes a lifting mechanism 223, which is arranged on the frame 21. The lifting mechanism 223 can be connected to and separated from the connecting rod assembly 221. When the lifting mechanism 223 is connected to the connecting rod assembly 221, the connecting rod assembly 221 lifts the baffle mechanism 23 and makes the baffle mechanism 23 leave the pig manure containing trough 12. When the lifting mechanism 223 is separated from the connecting rod assembly 221, the connecting rod assembly 221 lowers the baffle mechanism 23 and makes the baffle mechanism 23 at least partially abut against the pig manure containing trough 12.

[0074] The above-mentioned automatic pig manure collection system is further defined as follows: the movement mechanism 22 also includes a lifting mechanism 223 , and the lifting mechanism 223 can be connected to the connecting rod assembly 221 , and the lifting mechanism 223 can also be separated from the connecting rod assembly 221 .

[0075] Specifically, when the collection device 2 moves to the first position, the lifting mechanism 223 can be triggered to lower the baffle mechanism 23 through the connecting rod assembly 221, so that the baffle mechanism 23 can better cooperate with the pig manure receiving tank 12, thereby achieving the pushing and scraping collection of pig manure. When the collection device 2 moves to the second position, the lifting mechanism 223 can be triggered to lift the baffle mechanism 23 through the connecting rod assembly 221, thereby reducing the friction between the baffle mechanism 23 and the pig manure receiving tank 12, reducing the movement resistance of the collection device 2, and helping to save energy and cost.

[0076] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 223 includes a third connecting rod 2231 and a roller assembly 2232. The roller assembly 2232 is rotatably connected to the third connecting rod 2231. One end of the third connecting rod 2231 can slide on the vehicle frame 21, and the other end of the third connecting rod 2231 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 2212. A stop portion 22311 is provided on the end of the third connecting rod 2231 away from the vehicle frame 21, and a stop member 22121 is provided on the second connecting rod 2212 to match the stop portion 22311. The first base station 5 located at the first position includes a first base station body 51, a first inclined block assembly 52 and a first elastic member 53. The first inclined block assembly 52 and the first elastic member 53 are arranged on the first base station body 51. When the collecting device 2 is located at the first position 103, the frame 21 abuts against the first elastic member 53, the roller assembly 2232 rises along the first inclined block assembly 52, and the limiting member 22121 disengages from the limiting portion 22311.

[0077] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 223 includes a third link 2231 and a roller assembly 2232.
