Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of beef cattle breeding, and in particular relates to automatic sterilization equipment for beef cattle breeding rooms. Background Art

[0002] In the livestock industry, maintaining cleanliness and sanitation in livestock housing is a key factor in ensuring animal health and improving production efficiency. This is particularly true for beef cattle farms, where livestock housing is the area where cattle rest, feed, and exercise. The floor of these areas, exposed to feces, urine, and other contaminants, creates an ideal breeding ground for pathogenic microorganisms. Without regular and effective disinfection, these pathogens not only threaten the health of cattle and spread diseases such as respiratory and digestive tract infections, but can also impact meat quality and the overall economic benefits of the farm.

[0003] Traditionally, disinfection of the floor surfaces of livestock barns relies primarily on manual spraying of disinfectants. However, this method has numerous drawbacks: First, manual operation cannot guarantee comprehensive disinfection coverage, often leaving untreated areas untouched. Second, the amount of disinfectant used is difficult to control. Excessive use wastes resources and can cause environmental pollution, while insufficient use fails to achieve the desired disinfection effect. Furthermore, manual operation poses significant safety concerns, such as the potential for inhalation of disinfectant by operators or cattle, which could endanger their health.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. Example

[0021] In response to the problems raised in the above background technology, this embodiment provides an automatic sterilization device for beef cattle breeding room, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes a control unit, a medicine supply unit and a spraying device. The medicine supply unit is control-connected to the control unit, and the control unit is used to control the opening and closing of the medicine supply unit and the liquid supply pressure.

[0022] The spraying device includes a forward movement mechanism 2, a disinfection platform 3, a cantilever 4 and a spraying mechanism 5. The disinfection platform 3 is installed on the top support structure of the channel area 11 of the breeding room 1 through the forward movement mechanism 2, and the disinfection platform 3 is horizontally rotated. The control unit can drive the disinfection platform to move back and forth along the channel area of the breeding room through the forward movement mechanism. The channel area 11 of the breeding room 1 is located in the middle of the breeding room 1 and is used for feeding feed. The left and right sides of the channel area 11 are the livestock shed areas 12, which are places for beef cattle to rest, eat and move. Specifically: like Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the forward movement mechanism 2 includes an I-rail 21, a hanging rail pulley 22 and a forward movement drive assembly. The I-rail 21 is installed on the top supporting structure of the breeding room passage area, and the I-rail 21 is located just above the center of the breeding room passage area 11; the hanging rail pulley 22 is matched and installed on the I-rail and can move back and forth along the I-rail. The disinfection platform is rotatably installed on the hanging rail pulley 22. The hanging rail pulley 22 is connected to the forward movement drive group, and the forward movement drive group is connected to the control unit. The control unit can control the hanging rail pulley through the forward movement drive group. The car 22 moves back and forth along the I-rail 21. There are many types of forward drive components. For example, in this embodiment, the forward drive assembly includes a servo motor, a gear and a rack. The rack is fixedly installed on the I-rail along the length direction of the I-rail. The servo motor is fixedly installed on the hanging rail pulley 22 and is connected to the control unit. The gear is matched and installed on the motor output shaft of the servo motor and engages with the rack. When the controller controls the motor output shaft of the servo motor to rotate, the rotating gear will drive the hanging rail pulley 22 along the I-rail along the rack.

[0023] The disinfection platform 3 includes an outer platform shell 31, a rotating shaft 32, a ring platform 33 and a fixed frame 34. The rotating shaft 32 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hanging rail pulley 32, and the ring platform 33 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 32. There are many ways to connect the two. For example, the ring platform 33 and the rotating shaft 32 are welded together. The platform outer shell 31 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 32 above the ring platform 33 through the fixed frame 34. The ring platform 33 is used to support the stability of the outer platform shell 31.

[0024] The fixing frame 34 includes a sleeve rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft. A plurality of ribs are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction on the outer ring surface of the sleeve. The other end of the rib is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the adjacent outer platform shell by bolts.

[0025] One end of the cantilever is fixed on the disinfection platform, and the other end of the cantilever extends to the top of the livestock area on one side of the breeding room. Figure 2 As shown, the cantilever is a truss structure, which has the advantages of light weight and high supporting strength. The root of the cantilever is fixed to the outer wall of the outer platform shell 31 of the disinfection platform 3 by high-strength bolts.

[0026] The spraying mechanism 5 includes a transverse movement mechanism 51, a transverse movement seat 52, an anti-overflow cover 53 and a lifting mechanism. The transverse movement seat is slidably mounted on a cantilever above the livestock housing area in the breeding room through the transverse movement mechanism. The anti-overflow cover is mounted at the bottom of the transverse movement seat through the lifting mechanism, and the anti-overflow cover opening is set downward, and the internal cavity of the anti-overflow cover is a cone shape with a small top and a large bottom. The control unit can control the transverse movement of the transverse movement seat 52 through the transverse movement mechanism 51. Specifically: The transverse movement mechanism 51 includes an I-rail a511, a rail trolley a512 and a transverse movement drive assembly. The I-rail a511 is installed at the bottom of the cantilever 4, and the setting direction of the I-rail a511 is perpendicular to the setting direction of the I-rail; the rail trolley a512 is matched and installed on the I-rail a511 and can move along the I-rail a511. The rail trolley a512 is connected to the transverse movement drive assembly in a transmission manner, and the transverse movement drive assembly is controlled and connected to the control unit. The control unit can control the rail trolley a512 to move along the I-rail a511 through the transverse movement drive assembly. There are many types of transverse movement drive assemblies. For example, in this embodiment, the transverse drive assembly has the same structure as the forward drive assembly, both including a servo motor, a gear and a rack. The rack of the transverse drive assembly is fixedly mounted on the I-rail a511 along the length direction of the I-rail a511, and the servo motor of the transverse drive assembly is fixedly mounted on the hanging rail pulley a512 and is connected to the control unit. The gear is matched and mounted on the motor output shaft of the servo motor and engages with the rack on the I-rail a511. When the controller controls the motor output shaft of the servo motor to rotate, the rotating gear will drive the hanging rail pulley a512 to move along the I-rail a511 along the rack.

[0027] The overflow hood is equipped with an atomizing nozzle, which is connected to the discharge end of the medicine supply unit. The control unit can control the overflow hood to descend to a set height on the ground through the lifting mechanism. The control unit can also control the overflow hood to a fixed height along a zigzag trajectory to cover the single-side livestock area by driving the forward movement mechanism, the transverse movement mechanism and the lifting mechanism. Specifically: The lifting mechanism includes a winch 541, a medicine supply pipe 542 and a guide wheel 543. The medicine supply pipe 542 is a high-strength polymer tube. The winch is matched and installed in the disinfection platform and is connected to the control unit. A cavity is set in the reel of the winch. The non-transmission end of the reel extends outward from the frame of the winch and is matched and installed with a rotary joint. The stator end of the rotary joint is connected to the internal cavity of the reel, and the rotor end of the rotary joint is connected to the discharge end of the medicine supply unit; a guide pulley 543 is matched and installed in the transverse seat 521, and the medicine supply The tube 542 is wound on the winding shaft of the winch inside the disinfection platform, and the tail end of the medicine supply tube is connected to the internal cavity of the winding shaft. The other end of the medicine supply tube extends outward from the disinfection platform and is guided downward through the guide pulley 543 inside the transverse seat 521 and fixedly connected to the top of the overflow cover 53. The nozzle inside the overflow cover 53 is connected to the medicine supply tube 542. The medicine supply tube 542 serves as a traction rope to pull the overflow cover 53 up, and also serves as a liquid supply tube to supply medicine to the atomizing nozzle. During use, when the medicine supply tube is released, the overflow cover 53 will drop by its own weight.

[0028] The medicine supply unit includes a medicine storage box and a medicine discharge pump. The medicine storage box is matched and installed on the outer wall of the outer platform shell away from the boom side, which can balance the weight. The suction end of the medicine discharge pump is connected to the medicine storage box, and the medicine discharge end of the medicine discharge pump is connected to the winch reel cavity through a rotary joint.

[0029] The working height of the overflow hood of the automatic sterilization equipment for beef cattle breeding room provided in this embodiment is 30 cm when it is lowered to the ground. During normal walking, the height of the hoof of a standard-sized cattle is relatively low, not exceeding 10 cm, so that when the beef cattle avoid the overflow hood, the overflow hood will not be stepped on, which can effectively increase the service life of the overflow hood. When in use, the initial position of the spraying device is located at the end of the breeding room, that is, close to the door side. When the equipment is started, the control unit will first control the lifting mechanism to release the drug supply pipe to make the overflow hood drop to a preset height, and then the control unit controls the drug supply mechanism to start. Then the control unit can control the overflow hood to a fixed height by driving the forward movement mechanism, the transverse movement mechanism and the lifting mechanism to automatically cover the ground of the livestock house area in the breeding room along a zigzag trajectory to automatically disinfect. After the ground of the livestock house area on one side of the breeding room is fully covered and automatically disinfected from front to back, the control unit controls the spraying device moved to the rear of the breeding room to automatically reset, so that the operator can rotate the disinfection platform 180°. The control unit can then control the anti-overflow hood to descend to a preset height through the lifting mechanism. The control unit controls the drug supply mechanism to start, and then the control unit can control the anti-overflow hood to a fixed height along a zigzag trajectory by driving the forward mechanism, the transverse mechanism and the lifting mechanism to disinfect the ground of the livestock house area on the other side from back to front, thereby realizing automatic disinfection of the ground of the entire livestock house area in the breeding room; and during the disinfection process, under the action of the anti-overflow hood, the medicine sprayed by the atomizing nozzle will automatically descend, which can effectively prevent the medicine from diffusing upward and being inhaled by the beef cattle.

[0030] Furthermore, a proximity switch is provided in the overflow hood, which is connected to the control unit. The control unit determines the height of the overflow hood through the proximity switch. When the overflow hood drops to the spraying height, the proximity switch sends a spraying signal to the control unit, and the control unit controls the drug supply unit to discharge the drug.

[0031] It should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments of the present invention are merely illustrative or illustrative of the principles of the present invention and do not constitute limitations of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
