Specific Embodiments

[0027] Taking Figure 1 to define the up-down, left-right, front-back directions of this embodiment, the side where the conveyor belt 4 first reaches the brush roller 10 is the pre-sequence position of the brush roller 10. In this embodiment, the lower conveyor belt 6 moves from left to right, and the pre-sequence position of the brush roller 10 is on its left side.

[0028] As shown in the figure, this embodiment includes a bracket 1. Front and rear sides of the bracket 1 are respectively provided with a front side plate 2 and a rear side plate 3, and the two side plates play a role in assisting the support of the bracket 1. A conveyor belt 4 is arranged inside the bracket 1. In this embodiment, three closed conveyor belts 4 are arranged. Above each conveyor belt 4, there is a chicken coop 32. The bottom surface of the chicken coop 32 adopts a perforated plate structure, and the rest of the surfaces except for the side of the wire net door adopt a fence net structure to ensure the air circulation in the chicken coop; the closed conveyor belts 4 form an upper conveyor belt 5 and a lower conveyor belt 6. During use, the dirt falling from the chicken coop 32 is collected through the upper conveyor belt 5. On the left side of each conveyor belt 4, there is a driving shaft 7. The front end of the driving shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the front side plate 2, and the rear end extends behind the rear side plate and is connected to a chain drive assembly 28. Behind the chain drive assembly 28, there is a reduction motor 27; the lower end of the reduction motor 27 is connected to a support platform 26 fixedly installed on the rear end face of the rear side plate 3. The output end of the reduction motor 27 is connected to the lowest sprocket of the chain drive assembly 28. During use, by driving the reduction motor 27 and transmitting through the chain drive assembly 28, each driving shaft 7 can be rotated. On the right side of the conveyor belt 4, there is a driven shaft 8. The front and rear ends of the driven shaft 8 are respectively rotatably connected to the front side plate 2 and the rear side plate 3, and can rotate along with the conveying of the conveyor belt, playing a role in supporting the conveyor belt 4.

[0029] Below each lower conveyor belt 6, a cleaning mechanism for the conveyor belt 4 is arranged. The cleaning mechanism includes a brush roller 10. The front end of the brush roller 10 is rotatably connected to the front side plate 2, and the rear end extends behind the rear side plate and is connected to a hand wheel 29; in front of the hand wheel 29, there is a limiting cylinder 30. The limiting cylinder 30 is cylindrical, the front end is fixedly connected to the rear side plate, and six through holes are equidistantly arranged on the cylindrical surface; above the limiting cylinder 30, there is a limiting pin 31. The lower end of the limiting pin 31 penetrates through the through hole of the limiting cylinder 30 and is connected to the brush roller 10. During use, after inserting the limiting pin 31, the brush roller 10 can be prevented from rotating, so that some bristles on the outer periphery of the brush roller 10 can clean the conveyor belt 4. After cleaning for a certain period of time, the contact position between the brush roller 10 and the lower conveyor belt 6 is adjusted by rotating the hand wheel 29 and the limiting pin 31 to avoid excessive wear of some bristles. In this embodiment, the hand wheel structure connected to the rear end of the brush roller 10 can be replaced by a motor, and the rotation of the brush roller 10 is controlled by the motor to clean the conveyor belt 4 with the whole bristles; the connection of the motor is an existing conventional technology and will not be elaborated here too much.

[0030] A guiding roller 11 is arranged on the right side of the brush roller 10. The front and rear ends of the guiding roller 11 are respectively rotatably connected to the front side plate 2 and the rear side plate 3, and the left side is in contact connection with the lower conveyor belt 6 and can rotate along with the conveyance of the lower conveyor belt 6. An outwardly protruding arc-shaped cover plate 12 is arranged between the brush roller 10 and the lower conveyor belt 6. The front and rear ends of the arc-shaped cover plate 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the front side plate 2 and the rear side plate 3. The arc-shaped cover plate 12 extends from above the brush roller 10 to the vicinity of the guiding roller 11 and the brush roller 10. During use, it can support the lower conveyor belt 6 and prevent the lower conveyor belt 6 from flattening the bristles of the brush roller 10, affecting the service life of the bristles. After the arc-shaped cover plate 12 extends to the vicinity of the guiding roller 11 and the brush roller 10, it can continue to extend downward in the form of a flat plate. The lowest position of the extension is generally not lower than the lowest position of the brush roller 10, which can play a certain guiding role for the dirt brushed off by the brush roller 10 and reduce the frictional damage of the lower end of the arc-shaped cover plate to the conveyor belt. The height of the upper end of the arc-shaped cover plate 12 is lower than the highest point of the outer peripheral bristle layer of the brush roller 10 and higher than the root of the bristles at the highest point; when the brush roller 10 rotates, it can clean the arc-shaped cover plate 12 by friction. The left side of the arc-shaped cover plate 12 is of a concave structure. During installation, the arc-shaped cover plate 12 faces the incoming direction of the conveyor belt 4, and the contact position between the arc-shaped cover plate 12 and the conveyor belt 4 can remove the residual dirt on the conveyor belt 4. The arc-shaped cover plate 12 is provided with corresponding roller holes in the front and rear. Roller shafts 13 are arranged in the roller holes. In this embodiment, 7 roller shafts 13 are provided. The side of the roller shaft 13 facing the conveyor belt 4 is rotatably connected to the conveyor belt 4, which can reduce the friction between the arc-shaped cover plate 12 and the conveyor belt 4; the side of the roller shaft 13 facing the brush roller 10 is in contact connection with the middle part of the outer peripheral bristles thereof. When the roller shaft rotates, it can contact the bristles. During the cleaning process, the dirt removed by the arc-shaped cover plate 12 will enter its inner cavity through the gap between the roller shaft 13 and the arc-shaped cover plate 12, and realize the relative movement with the bristles along with the rotation of the roller shaft 13, so as to clean the removed dirt by using the bristles.

[0031] In this embodiment, the part of the lower conveyor belt 6 clamped by the arc-shaped cover plate 12 and the guiding roller 11 is in an upwardly inclined state, which is convenient for the dirt to fall off during cleaning and improves the cleaning effect.

[0032] A scraper 9 is arranged at the pre-position of the brush roller 10. The left end of the scraper 9 is in contact connection with the lower surface of the lower conveyor belt 6, and can scrape off the dirt attached to the lower surface of the lower conveyor belt 6. Pin holes 16 are arranged in the middle parts of the front side and the rear side of the scraper 9, and corresponding positioning pin holes are arranged on the front side plate 2 and the rear side plate 3. During installation, the scraper 9 is installed by inserting the positioning pins into the pin holes 16. A group of positioning pin through holes are arranged on the front side plate 2 and the rear side plate 3. In this embodiment, it is composed of three positioning pin through holes 17. During installation, the scraper 9 is fixed by inserting the pin shaft into one positioning pin through hole 17 and the scraper 9, and the angle of the scraper 9 can be adjusted by selecting different positioning pin through holes 17. Generally, the included angle between the scraper 9 and the lower conveyor belt 6 above it is an acute angle. During use, the scraper 9 can remove large pieces of dirt, reduce the cleaning burden of the subsequent brush roller 10, and improve the cleaning quality.

[0033] A material guide plate 14 is arranged below the right end of each lower conveyor belt 6. The front and rear ends of the material guide plate 14 are fixedly installed on the front side plate 2 and the rear side plate 3, and the left side is in a downward inclined state, which can convey the dirt falling from above to the left. A jet hood 19 is arranged above the material guide plate 14. An upward inclined jet port is arranged on the left side of the jet hood 19, and the jet port faces the lower conveyor belt 6 between the scraper 9 and the brush roller 10. The rear end of the jet hood 19 is connected to the air outlet of a blower 18 arranged on the left side below the bracket 1 through a pipeline. During use, by driving the blower, the jet hood 19 can blow air to blow and clean the ash on the surface of the lower conveyor belt 6, and can also dry the surface of the lower conveyor belt 6 to prevent the bristles of the brush roller 10 from being stuck by wet dirt. A collection box 15 is arranged on the left side of the material guide plate 14. The lower end of the collection box 15 is provided with a universal wheel structure for facilitating the transportation of the collected dirt; the upper end is provided with a mesh cover 23. The right end of the mesh cover 23 is fixedly connected to the bracket 1, and the upper part is an activated carbon mesh structure, which can adsorb the odor generated by the dirt in the collection box 15.

[0034] On the right side of the fan 18, there is a water tank 24 for storing disinfectant water. A water pump 21 is provided on the right side water outlet pipe. When in use, starting the water pump 21 can pump out the disinfectant water in the water tank 24. Above the bracket 1, there is a spray pipe 20. In this embodiment, three layers of spray pipes 20 are provided, and each layer of spray pipe 20 is located above the front side of the corresponding conveyor belt 4 and is arranged along the length direction of each layer of chicken cages 32. Support frames 25 are provided at both the left and right ends of the spray pipe 20. The lower ends of the support frames 25 are installed on the bracket 1 through bolts, and the front ends extend with hook-shaped structures to support each layer of spray pipe 20 through snap connection. The right ends of each layer of spray pipe 20 are connected to the water pump 21 through pipes. When in use, starting the water pump 21 can transport the disinfectant water to each layer of spray pipe 20. A group of auxiliary pipes 33 extend backward from each layer of spray pipe 20. In this embodiment, 5 auxiliary pipes 33 are provided on each layer of spray pipe 20, and each auxiliary pipe 33 is fixed to the upper surface of each layer of chicken cages 32 through screws and connectors; a group of spray heads are provided at the lower ends of the auxiliary pipes 33. After starting the water pump 21, it can spray and clean the lower chicken cages 32 and the conveyor belt 4 through the gaps on the surface of the chicken cages 32. In this embodiment, each spray head uses an atomizing nozzle, which can spray the water flow in a mist shape onto the chicken cages 32 and the conveyor belt 4, increasing the spraying range. The structural composition of the above atomizing nozzle is prior art and will not be elaborated here. In the present invention, the spray pipe 20 can adopt a design without auxiliary pipes 33. Each layer of spray pipe 20 is arranged along the length direction of the chicken cages 32 and is fixed at the middle position of the upper end of the chicken cages 32, and sprays and cleans the lower chicken cages 32 and the conveyor belt 4 through the spraying heads.

[0035] When this embodiment is in use, first start the reduction motor 27 to make the upper conveyor belt 5 start to transport to the left; at the same time, start the fan 18, and the air jet cover 19 blows and cleans the lower conveyor belt 6. During the transportation of the conveyor belt 4, large or most of the dirt is removed after passing through the scraper 9. After passing through the scraper 9, the remaining dirt is dried by the air jet cover and then enters between the arc-shaped mask plate 12 and the guide roller 11. First, the surface of the conveyor belt 4 is scraped and cleaned by the brush roller 10, and then the dirt on the surface of the conveyor belt 4 is scraped off through friction with the arc-shaped mask plate 12, completing the multi-stage cleaning of the conveyor belt 4. The dirt cleaned is sent into the collection box through the guide plate 14. After the cleaning is completed, turn off the fan 18, and then start the water pump 21 to pump the disinfectant water into the spray pipe 20 to clean and disinfect the transporting conveyor belt 4. After spraying for a certain time, turn off the water pump 21, and then start the fan 18 to dry the conveyor belt 4. After the disinfectant water is blown dry, take out the collection box 15 to process the dirt, and turn off the fan 18 and the reduction motor 27 to complete the cleaning of the chicken coop.
