Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to a pigsty. Background Technology

[0002] Pig farming is an agricultural production activity, mainly for raising pigs for consumption. The pig farming industry is an important industry in my country's agriculture and plays an important role in ensuring the safe supply of meat. my country's pig farming industry is transforming from traditional pig farming to modern pig farming, and significant changes are taking place in breeding models, regional layout, production methods, and production capacity.

[0003] Pigsties are buildings used to house pigs. Due to the large number of pigs, weighing them is inconvenient. Currently, individual scales are usually installed in the aisles for weighing. However, this method requires personnel to guide and operate the scales, resulting in low weighing efficiency and making it difficult to conduct weighing frequently. Consequently, the pigs' weight information is updated slowly, making it impossible to know the pigs' growth status in a timely manner. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0029] This invention allows pigs to pass through multiple detection channels of a control mechanism in an orderly manner, during which they can be weighed, rinsed, or have their body temperature measured. Compared with current pig weighing methods, the time required is significantly reduced, no manual guidance or operation is needed, and the weighing efficiency is high. Pigs can be weighed daily or even multiple times a day. Weighing pigs before and after feeding can also help determine their feeding status. The control mechanism can also transfer individual abnormal pigs out of the compartment for inspection. The control mechanism and the partitioning mechanism can work together to temporarily divide the compartment into two areas, making it easier for operators to enter and carry out their work.

[0030] The pigs are cleaned in the testing channel. Compared with manual water spraying, the cleaning time is greatly shortened, the cleaning effect is greatly improved, and the water consumption is also greatly reduced. There is no problem of certain parts of the pigs being difficult to clean due to the presence of pigs in the herd.

[0031] The detection channel can identify pigs, and information such as the pig's weight, cleaning time, feed intake and body temperature can be entered into the pig house management system, which facilitates the information management of each pig and makes it easier to detect abnormalities in the pig's weight, feed intake or body temperature in a timely manner.

[0032] When the gate assembly gets caught in the pig during the closing process, due to the elastic connection between the first and second gate arms, the second gate arm can swing elastically to prevent the pig from being injured. After the second gate arm swings relative to the first gate arm, the gate assembly can automatically open to allow the pig to leave the gate assembly before the gate assembly attempts to close again.

[0033] Driven by a three-way moving mechanism, the control and separation mechanisms can circulate within the pigsty to manage pigs in multiple compartments. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0042] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0043] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0044] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention discloses a pigsty with a rectangular interior space. The pigsty has two parallel passageways 100 arranged inside. On each side of the two passageways 100, there are two rectangular compartments 200. The compartments 200 are enclosed by railings or partition walls. A feed trough 201 is provided on the side of the compartment 200 closest to the passageway 100. The side walls of the compartments 200 on both sides of the feed trough 201 are provided with openable and closable door panels 202. The width of the door panels 202 is adapted to the width of the passageway 100.

[0046] Each compartment 200 houses multiple pigs. After entering the aisle 100, the pigs enter the compartment 200 through one of the doors 202 and exit through the other door 202, proceeding through the aisle 100. The width of the door 202 is adapted to the aisle 100, so that when the door 202 is open, it restricts the pigs' movement area, allowing them to travel along the aisle 100.

[0047] The pigsty is equipped with a three-way moving mechanism 300, which includes two horizontal beams 301 located above multiple compartments 200. The two horizontal beams 301 are arranged horizontally and parallel to each other, and are hung on the inner wall of the pigsty or supported by pillars. A longitudinal beam 302 is slidably arranged between the two horizontal beams 301. The longitudinal beam 302 is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the two horizontal beams 301. Both ends of the longitudinal beam 302 are slidably located on the top of the two horizontal beams 301. The top of the two horizontal beams 301 and the bottom surface of the ends of the longitudinal beam 302 are respectively provided with mutually cooperating tracks and track wheels. The longitudinal beam 302 is equipped with a corresponding drive source for driving the track wheels. The longitudinal beam 302 moves along the arrangement direction of the two horizontal beams 301.

[0048] A railcar 303 is slidably mounted on the longitudinal beam 302. The top of the longitudinal beam 302 and the bottom of the railcar 303 are respectively provided with mutually cooperating rails and rail wheels. The railcar 303 is provided with a corresponding drive source to drive the rail wheels to rotate. The railcar 303 travels on the longitudinal beam 302 along its arrangement direction.

[0049] The railcar 303 is equipped with lifting equipment, and the lower part of the railcar 303 is equipped with a connecting seat 305. Two guide columns 304 are vertically mounted on the connecting seat 305 and are slidably connected to the railcar 303. The lifting equipment is connected to the connecting seat 305. The lifting equipment can be a winch. The lifting equipment drives the connecting seat 305 to rise and fall. The sliding connection between the guide columns 304 and the railcar 303 keeps the connecting seat 305 vertically rising and falling.

[0050] A control mechanism 400 is connected to the bottom of the connecting seat 305. The control mechanism 400 includes a base 401, which is connected to the bottom of the connecting seat 305. A horn is provided on the base 401. The bottom of the base 401 has four vertically arranged and parallel partitions 402, which are equally spaced and form three detection channels 403. The width of the detection channels 403 is adapted to the size of the pig, allowing the pig to pass through but not turn around.

[0051] The bottom edges of the partitions 402 on both sides of the detection channel 403 are provided with protrusions 405. A weighing plate 404 is provided at the bottom of the detection channel 403, with two protrusions 405 on both sides of the weighing plate 404. A weighing sensor is provided between the protrusions 405 and the weighing plate 404. The weighing plate 404 has a perforated plate structure, which is covered with several through holes, through which pig excrement can be discharged.

[0052] A reader / writer for pig ear tags is installed on the base 401 at the top of the detection channel 403. After a pig enters the detection channel 403, the ear tag information is read through radio frequency identification (RFID) technology or near-field communication (NFC) to identify the pig and facilitate identification, tracking, and management. Gate assemblies are installed on both partitions 402 at both ends of the detection channel 403. The gate assemblies can block the detection channel 403 by opening and closing. Photoelectric sensors for monitoring whether pigs are passing through are also installed on the partitions 402 inside the gate assemblies. The gate assemblies include multiple inclined first gate rods 410, which are vertically and equally spaced on the sidewalls of the partitions 402. The higher ends of the first gate rods 410 are rotatably connected to the partitions 402, and the partitions 402 have corresponding grooves 411 to accommodate the rotation of the higher ends of the first gate rods 410. The higher end of the first gate rod 410 rotates within the rod groove 411, causing the first gate rod 410 to swing. The rotation angle of the higher end of the first gate rod 410 is limited, and the swing range of the first gate rod 410 is also limited. Within the swing range of the first gate rod 410, the angle between the first gate rod 410 and the partition plate 402 below it is always an acute angle.

[0053] The partition 402 is provided with a transmission assembly that drives the higher ends of multiple first gate rods 410 to rotate synchronously. The transmission assembly includes a transmission plate 413 arranged vertically and slidably disposed in the partition 402 inside the multiple rod slots 411. The transmission plate 413 is slidably connected to the partition 402 and can slide vertically. The partition 402 at the bottom of the transmission plate 413 is provided with an electric push rod 415 that drives the transmission plate 413 to slide vertically.

[0054] The higher end of the first gate arm 410 is provided with a gear 412 coaxial with its rotation axis, and a rack 414 meshing with the gear 412 is provided on the transmission plate 413 on the side of the gear 412. The electric push rod 415 drives the transmission plate 413 to rise and fall, and the multiple racks 414 rise and fall synchronously, driving the multiple gears 412 to rotate. The gears 412 drive the higher end of the first gate arm 410 to rotate, causing the first gate arm 410 to swing.

[0055] A second gate rod 406 is hinged to the lower end of the first gate rod 410. The outer diameter of the second gate rod 406 matches the outer diameter of the first gate rod 410. The swing direction of the second gate rod 406 is the same as that of the first gate rod 410. The lower part of the hinged end of the second gate rod 406 and the first gate rod 410 is rounded to make it an arc surface. When the second gate rod 406 and the first gate rod 410 are coaxial, the second gate rod 406 can only swing downward on the first gate rod 410. When the second gate rod 406 swings upward to the point that it is coaxial with the first gate rod 410, the upper part of the hinged end of the second gate rod 406 and the first gate rod 410 contacts the lower end of the first gate rod 410. At this time, the second gate rod 406 can no longer swing upward, thus limiting the swing range of the second gate rod 406. A torsion spring is provided between the second gate arm 406 and the first gate arm 410. When no external force is applied, the elastic force of the torsion spring causes the second gate arm 406 to swing upward until it is coaxial with the first gate arm 410. When the first gate arm 410 swings, it drives the second gate arm 406 to swing synchronously. When the second gate arm 406 touches a pig or foreign object, it swings downward elastically. When the pig or foreign object is removed, the second gate arm 406 returns to its coaxial position with the first gate arm 410 under the elastic force of the torsion spring. When the first gate arm 410 drives the second gate arm 406 to swing upward to its limit position, the lower end of the second gate arm 406 is located in the middle of the detection channel 403. At this time, the first gate arm 410 and the second gate arm 406 on both sides of the detection channel 403 block the detection channel 403. When the first gate arm 410 drives the second gate arm 406 to swing downward to the limit position, there is a very small angle between the first gate arm 410 and the second gate arm 406 and the partition 402. At this time, the detection channel 403 is no longer blocked by the first gate arm 410 and the second gate arm 406, and the detection channel 403 is in the open state.

[0056] The lower end of the first gate arm 410 is equipped with a sensor to monitor whether the second gate arm 406 is coaxial with the first gate arm 410. The position of the sensor is adapted to the upper part of the hinge end of the second gate arm 406 and the first gate arm 410. The sensor is electrically connected to the electric push rod 415 for cooperation. When the sensor detects that the end of the second gate arm 406 on its side is far away from or not in contact with it, or that the second gate arm 406 is not coaxial with the first gate arm 410, the electric push rod 415 stops driving the transmission plate 413 or drives the transmission plate 413 to rise so that the first gate arm 410 swings downward to reset. To reduce costs, the sensor in this embodiment is a tactile switch 416. When the second gate arm 406 is coaxial with the first gate arm 410, the end of the second gate arm 406 presses against the tactile switch 416, and the circuit of the tactile switch 416 is open. When the second gate arm 406 swings downward and is no longer coaxial with the first gate arm 410, the end of the second gate arm 406 no longer contacts the tactile switch 416, and the circuit of the tactile switch 416 is open. The electric push rod 415 monitors the second gate arm 406 according to the open or closed state of the circuit of the tactile switch 416.

[0057] A cleaning assembly is installed within the detection channel 403 to rinse the pigs inside. The cleaning assembly includes a vertically arranged, gate-shaped cleaning pipe 407, the shape and dimensions of which are adapted to the detection channel 403. The cleaning pipe 407 includes a horizontal section and vertical sections at both ends of the horizontal section. The two vertical sections are located inside the two partitions 402 of the detection channel 403, with a very small distance between the vertical sections and the partitions 402. The horizontal section is located below the base 401. Multiple nozzles 408 are evenly spaced on the cleaning pipe 407, with the nozzles 408 facing the center of the detection channel 403. The cleaning pipeline 407 has a slider 409 in the middle of its horizontal section that is slidably connected to the bottom of the base 401. The cleaning pipeline 407 can slide along the length of the detection channel 403. The base 401 has a corresponding linear slide connected to the slider 409 as a driving component. The slider 409 also has a water supply pipe (not shown in the figure). The water supply pipe passes through the slider 409 and is connected to the cleaning pipeline 407. The water supply pipe pumps water to the cleaning pipeline 407. The water source can be room temperature water or heated water. The water is sprayed out by the nozzle 408 to rinse the pig in the detection channel 403.

[0058] The base 401 has two partition mechanisms 500 located on both sides of the control mechanism 400 and on the outer wall of the partition 402 on both sides of the control mechanism 400. The partition mechanisms 500 can be extended and shortened to divide the compartment 200 into two areas. Alternatively, a partition mechanism 500 can be provided on one side of the control mechanism 400, which is suitable for cases where the compartment 200 is smaller.

[0059] The separation mechanism 500 includes a support 501 mounted on the outer wall of the partition 402. The support 501 is vertically arranged, and a scissor lift 502 is provided on the side of the support 501. The scissor lift 502 is vertically arranged and can be extended or shortened laterally. The ends of the two scissor arms of the scissor lift 502 near the control mechanism 400 are slidably connected to the support 501. In the scissor lift 502, the outer end of the support pin at the rotatable connection point in the middle of the two scissor arms is connected to a support seat 503. A support rod 504 is vertically provided at the bottom of the support seat 503. A caster wheel 505 is rotatably provided at the bottom end of the support rod 504. The bottom of the caster wheel 505 is flush with the bottom of the control mechanism 400. A horizontally arranged telescopic rod is connected between adjacent support seats 503. The telescopic rod is parallel to the extension and retraction direction of the scissor lift 502.

[0060] The ends of the two scissor lift arms 502, which are slidably connected to the support 501, are respectively hinged to slide blocks 506. The support 501 is provided with vertically arranged slide rails that are slidably connected to the slide blocks 506. The support 501 contains a drive assembly for driving the two slide blocks 506 to slide synchronously in opposite directions. The drive assembly includes a dual-output shaft motor 508 located between the two slide blocks 506. The two output shafts of the dual-output shaft motor 508 are respectively coaxially connected to drive screws 507 that are threaded into the two slide blocks 506. The threads of the two drive screws 507 have opposite directions of rotation. When the dual-output shaft motor 508 operates, it drives the two drive screws 507 to rotate, causing the two slide blocks 506 to slide synchronously closer to or further away from each other. When the two slide blocks 506 slide synchronously closer to each other, the scissor lift 502 extends; when the two slide blocks 506 slide synchronously further away from each other, the scissor lift 502 shortens.

[0061] When it is necessary to weigh and clean the pigs in a certain compartment 200, the three-way moving mechanism 300 drives the control mechanism 400 to move into the corresponding compartment 200. The control mechanism 400 descends above the feed trough 201 and is close to the side wall of the compartment 200 located on the side of the aisle 100. Then, the speaker on the base 401 plays music to attract the attention of the pigs in the compartment 200. The control mechanism 400 slides away from the aisle 100. When the control mechanism 400 is no longer above the feed trough 201, it descends to the ground of the compartment 200. The partition mechanisms 500 on both sides of the control mechanism 400 extend, and the dual-output shaft electric... The machine 508 drives the two sliding seats 506 to approach each other, the scissor lift 502 extends, and the casters 505 slide on the ground accordingly. The scissor lift 502 extends until it stops near the side wall of the compartment 200. At this time, the control mechanism 400 and the separation mechanism 500 form a temporary partition. Then, the three-way moving mechanism 300 drives the control mechanism 400 and the separation mechanism 500 to continue moving away from the aisle 100. Depending on the breeding density, it usually stops at the middle of the compartment 200. At this time, there are no pigs in the area where the feed trough 201 is located. All the pigs have been driven to the other side of the partition. Then the control mechanism 400 can start working.

[0062] In the control mechanism 400, the gate assembly on the side of the detection channel 403 closest to the pig's location opens. Multiple first gate levers 410 and second gate levers 406 swing downwards to their extreme positions. After the photoelectric sensor detects that a pig has entered the detection channel 403, the gate assembly on the side of the detection channel 403 closest to the pig's location closes. At this time, the pig is surrounded within the detection channel 403, and the pig standing on the weighing plate 404 is weighed. If it is necessary to rinse the pig, this can be achieved through the cleaning assembly. The nozzles 408 on the cleaning pipe 407 spray water onto the pig. At the same time, the linear slide drives the cleaning pipe 407 to slide, rinsing the pig's entire body. After weighing and rinsing, the gate assembly on the side of the detection channel 403 closest to the feed trough 201 opens, and the pig walks out of the detection channel 403 to the feed trough 201 to eat. Normally, due to the need to feed, all pigs in compartment 200 will sequentially pass through detection channel 403 to feed trough 201. If some pigs fail to pass through detection channel 403, the gate assembly on the side of detection channel 403 closest to the pig's location will open, and the three-way moving mechanism 300 will drive the control mechanism 400 to continue sliding slowly away from feed trough 201. The space occupied by the remaining pigs will gradually compress until they eventually enter detection channel 403 to complete weighing and cleaning before proceeding to feed trough 201. When a pig passes through detection channel 403, its identity is identified through a reader and ear tag. The pig's weighing and cleaning information will be entered into the pig house management system. The pig house management system allows users to view the pig's weight and cleaning information, facilitating pig tracking and management. Especially before feeding, the pig's weight can be measured using the above process, and it can be weighed again after feeding to determine the amount of feed consumed. Since the detection channel 403 has the function of identifying pigs, if the pigs in the detection channel 403 have been weighed or cleaned, the gate assembly can be opened directly to allow the pigs to pass through. A temperature gun can also be installed at the bottom of the base 401 at the top of the detection channel 403 to measure the body temperature of the pigs in the detection channel 403. When a pig exhibits abnormal weight or abnormal feed intake, after the pig enters the detection channel 403, the gate assemblies at both ends close, and the three-way moving mechanism 300 removes the control mechanism 400 to move the pig out of the compartment 200 for inspection. In this embodiment, the control mechanism 400 has three detection channels 403, so a maximum of three pigs can be moved out at once. The control mechanism 400, in conjunction with the partition mechanisms 500 on both sides, can form a temporary partition within the compartment 200. This partition allows pigs in compartment 200 to be moved to a compartment 200 away from the feed trough 201. This facilitates staff access to compartment 200 for maintenance of facilities such as the feed trough 201, and also allows pigs outside compartment 200 to be brought into compartment 200. Driven by the three-way moving mechanism 300, the control mechanism 400 and partition mechanisms 500 can circulate within the pigsty to manage pigs in multiple compartments 200.During the closing process of the gate assembly, if a pig moves to the gate assembly, the second gate arm 406 touches the pig during its upward swing. The movement of the second gate arm 406 is obstructed, and it swings relative to the first gate arm 410. The sensor detects that the second gate arm 406 is no longer in coaxial contact with the first gate arm 410. At this time, the transmission plate 413 stops moving and slides upward, causing the first gate arm 410 and the second gate arm 406 to swing downward until the gate assembly is in the open state, so as to avoid the pig being pinched. After the pig re-enters the detection channel 403, the valve assembly closes again.
