A mounting vertical beam 300 is provided in the middle of the substrate body 100, and a soft isolation frame 400 is provided on the mounting vertical beam 300 for isolating cows. A turning mechanism 500 is provided on both sides of the mounting vertical beam 300 on the upper part of the substrate body 100, and the turning mechanism 500 is provided with a heating soft cushion body 600, and the interior of the substrate body 100 is provided with a push-pull mechanism 700 that intermittently exposes two collecting grooves 200, and also includes a synchronous mechanism 800 arranged inside the substrate body 100 for driving the flipping mechanism 500 and the push-pull mechanism 700 to move in a linked manner. Cows can lie on both sides, and the synchronous mechanism 800 can drive the flipping mechanism 500 and the pushing mechanism on both sides to move, so as to synchronously flip the heating soft cushion bodies 600 on both sides and intermittently cover the collecting grooves 200, saving the investment in other power mechanisms and reducing the production cost. This embodiment also includes a flushing mechanism 900 and a drying mechanism 1000 arranged on the mounting vertical beam 300.
[0039] The basic principle of this embodiment is as follows: the substrate body 100 of the present invention is fixed to the ground by anchor bolts, etc., the collecting troughs 200 on both sides of the substrate body 100 are used to collect cow feces and can be cleaned by flushing water, the vertical beams 300 are installed to install the soft isolation frame 400, and the soft isolation frame 400 is made of highly elastic rubber material to avoid scratches or injuries to the cow's side, and the setting of the flip mechanism 500 is convenient for driving the heating soft cushion body 600 to flip for easy cleaning, and at the same time, it is convenient to adjust the inclination angle of the heating soft cushion body 600, so that the cow can lie more comfortably, push The setting of the pulling mechanism 700 facilitates the intermittent leakage of the collecting trough 200 under the drive of the synchronization mechanism 800. Before the cow enters the bed, the collecting trough 200 can be closed to prevent the cow from stepping on the air. After the cow enters the bed, the collecting trough 200 can be leaked to facilitate the collection of cow feces. Before the cow walks out of the bed, the collecting trough 200 can be closed to prevent the cow from stepping on the air. The flushing mechanism 900 in the present invention can flush the heated soft cushion body 600, and the drying mechanism 1000 is used to dry the heated soft cushion body 600, thereby improving sanitary conditions and eliminating frequent manual cleaning.
[0040] The flip mechanism 500 in this embodiment includes a flip plate 520 rotatably connected to the substrate body 100 via a hinge shaft 510, and the heating soft cushion body 600 is fixed on the flip plate 520. The flip plate 520 is in contact with the synchronization mechanism 800. The flip plate 520 is hinged by the hinge shaft 510 so that the flip plate 520 can rotate relative to the substrate body 100 under the drive of the synchronization mechanism 800, so that it has a certain inclination angle with the horizontal plane. Firstly, the cow can lie more comfortably through adjustment, and secondly, the heating soft cushion body 600 on the upper part of the tilted substrate body 100 is easier to clean.
[0041] The push-pull mechanism 700 in this embodiment includes a slide groove 710 provided on the side of the substrate body 100, and a covering component intermittently leaking out the collecting groove 200 is slidably arranged inside the slide groove 710. Driven by the synchronization mechanism 800, the covering component can intermittently cover and leak out the collecting groove 200, specifically, before the cow enters the bed, the collecting groove 200 is covered, and when the cow is in the bed, the collecting groove 200 is leaked out to facilitate the collection of feces, and when the cow needs to walk out of the bed, the collecting groove 200 is covered again to prevent the cow from stepping into the air.
[0042] The covering assembly includes a covering plate 720 , on which a covering portion 721 and hollow portions 722 arranged on both sides of the covering portion 721 are provided. The covering plate 720 is connected to the synchronization mechanism 800 .
[0043] The operation process of the cover plate 720 is as follows: before the cow enters the bed, the cover part 721 is at the opening of the collecting trough 200 to cover the collecting trough 200. When the cow is about to enter the bed, the synchronous mechanism 800 is pulled to pull the cover plate 720 toward the inside of the substrate body 100. At this time, the hollow part 722 at the rear end is opposite to the opening of the collecting trough 200, which is convenient for feces to leak into the collecting trough 200. When the cow needs to walk out of the bed, the synchronous mechanism 800 pushes the cover plate 720 in the opposite direction, and the cover part 721 covers the opening of the collecting trough 200 again to prevent the cow from stepping on air. When the cow completely walks out of the bed, the synchronous mechanism 800 continues to push the cover plate 720 to move away from the substrate body 100, and the hollow part 722 at the front end is opposite to the opening of the collecting trough 200, which is convenient for washing the heated soft cushion body 600.
[0044] The synchronization mechanism 800 in this embodiment includes a rotating driving member arranged in the middle of the substrate body 100, a push-pull assembly for pushing and pulling the cover plate 720 arranged inside the substrate body 100 and connected to the rotating driving member, and a flip assembly arranged between the push-pull assembly and the flip plate 520 for driving the flip plate 520 to move. The rotating power member can adopt a servo motor, the push-pull assembly is used to reciprocate and pull the cover plate 720, and the flip assembly is used to drive the flip plate 520 to rotate.
[0045] In order to simultaneously drive the flipping mechanism 500 and the push-pull mechanism 700 on both sides to operate, the rotating driving member in this embodiment is connected to a driving gear 810, and the push-pull assembly includes racks 820 meshing on the upper and lower parts of the driving gear 810, and the racks 820 are respectively connected to one end of a connecting rod 830, and the other end of the connecting rod 830 is connected to the cover plate 720. The servo motor can drive the driving gear 810 to rotate, and the driving gear 810 can drive the two racks 820 on the upper and lower parts to move back and forth in opposite directions or towards each other. The cover plates 720 on both sides can be driven to move back and forth through the connecting rod 830, thereby realizing the above-mentioned function of intermittently covering the collection tank 200.
[0046] The flip assembly includes a trigger block 840 disposed on the connecting rod 830 and a contact block 850 disposed at the lower part of the flip plate 520 , and a slope portion 860 for sliding relative to each other is disposed between the contact block 850 and the trigger block 840 .
[0047] Before the cow walks out of the bed, the servo motor drives the upper and lower racks 820 to move relative to each other, so that the covering part 721 of the cover plate 720 covers the collection tank 200 first. When the cow walks out of the bed, the servo motor continues to drive the upper and lower racks 820 to move relative to each other. In this process, the hollow part 722 gradually leaks out of the collection tank 200, and the trigger block 840 gradually contacts the release block. The flip plate 520 can be gradually flipped through the inclined part 860 to facilitate flushing. The flushing water can enter the collection tank 200 through the hollow part 722 to flush away the feces.
[0048] The heating soft cushion body 600 is made of high-elastic rubber material, has anti-slip texture on the surface, and is embedded with a heating element 610 inside. The use of high-elastic rubber material can improve the lying comfort of cows. At the same time, the heating element 610 can increase the temperature to a certain extent, making the cows more comfortable when lying.
[0049] The flushing mechanism 900 in this embodiment includes a transverse frame 910 connected to the mounting vertical beam 300, and a nozzle 920 is provided on the transverse frame 910. The nozzle 920 is connected to an external high-pressure water source. By setting the nozzle 920 and injecting high-pressure water, the heated soft cushion body 600 can be automatically flushed, thereby reducing the labor intensity of personnel.
[0050] The drying mechanism 1000 in this embodiment includes a hot air nozzle arranged on the transverse frame 910, and the hot air nozzle is connected to an external hot air source. The rinsed heated soft cushion body 600 can be dried through the hot air nozzle, wherein the nozzle 920 and the hot air nozzle are both facing the center position of the heated soft cushion body 600.
[0051] The high-elastic rubber material used in this embodiment has a Shore hardness of 40-60, and its moderate hardness and softness can improve the lying comfort of the cows.
[0052] The present embodiment also includes a disinfection mechanism 1100 disposed on the transverse frame 910, wherein the disinfection mechanism 1100 may adopt an ultraviolet disinfection lamp, etc. The bed may be disinfected by the disinfection mechanism 1100, thereby further improving sanitary conditions.
