Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of livestock waste gas treatment technology, specifically to a large-scale waste gas treatment device and treatment method for egg-laying chicken farms. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of large-scale livestock and poultry farming and the increasing public demand for environmental quality, odor pollution from large-scale livestock and poultry farms has become a public nuisance that harms the production and lives of surrounding residents. Especially in egg-laying hen farming, due to the short intestines of chickens and their poor digestive and absorptive capacity for feed, about 70% of nutrients are excreted undigested in feces. The organic matter in feces mainly includes carbohydrates and nitrogenous compounds. These organic compounds decompose under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. When carbohydrates decompose aerobically, they release heat energy, with the main products being CO2 and water; however, under anaerobic conditions, their decomposition products are mainly methanol, organic acids, and various alcohols. These substances all have a slightly foul and sour odor, causing unpleasant sensations. Nitrogenous compounds decompose into amino acids under the action of enzymes, which then decompose into nitrates under aerobic conditions; under anaerobic conditions, they decompose into malodorous gases such as ammonia, sulfuric acid, vinyl alcohol, dimethyl sulfide, hydrogen sulfide, methylamine, and trimethylamine. These gases have characteristic odors such as the smell of rotting onions, putrid eggs, and fish. In poultry farms, when manure contains excessive moisture or is compressed and lacks fresh air, a localized anaerobic environment is created, producing and releasing foul-smelling gases. Simultaneously, the large amount of manure and feathers in chicken farms leads to high dust levels inside the sheds. Furthermore, the increasing scale and intensification of egg-laying chicken farming, along with rising stocking densities, has resulted in deteriorating air quality and exacerbated environmental problems in poultry farms.
[0003] Currently, to reduce and control odors in chicken farms, large-scale chicken farms often employ a comprehensive strategy of source reduction and process control. Source reduction involves precisely adjusting the crude protein level and digestible amino acid balance in the diet according to the chicken's growth stage, reducing excessive nitrogen and phosphorus intake and excretion. Regarding process control, modern large-scale chicken farms primarily use conveyor belts for manure removal. The short exposure time of manure on the conveyor belt allows for rapid collection to enclosed spaces or treatment areas, significantly reducing the generation of ammonia and dust within the coop. Additionally, chicken farms often use highly absorbent bedding material and turn it over regularly, and add deodorizers, microbial agents, or ferrous sulfate to suppress ammonia production. In short, large-scale chicken farms currently focus primarily on internal environmental control, with little attention paid to addressing external odor emissions.
[0004] Given that the foul odors and dust emitted from chicken farms not only severely pollute the air, soil, and water, but also serve as a significant route for the transmission of infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, and zoonotic diseases in livestock, greatly impacting human quality of life and health, the air pollution problem in livestock and poultry farms urgently needs to be addressed. Currently, most chicken farm exhaust gas treatment equipment on the market primarily treats dust and odors inside the chicken coop, but rarely addresses the emitted gases, leading to pollution of the surrounding environment. Summary of the Invention

The synchronization plate is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the lifting frame.
[0016] This invention also provides another technical solution: a method for treating exhaust gas from large-scale layer chicken farms, comprising the following steps:
[0017] S1. The internal exhaust fan is turned on according to different temperatures and breeding densities. At the same time, the exhaust fan in the discharge pipe is turned on. The spray device is started at the same time as the exhaust fan is turned on. The exhaust fan draws the exhaust gas in the chicken house and discharges it into the exhaust duct. The exhaust gas passes through the dust removal device to remove dust, and then passes through the spray device to chemically deodorize the exhaust gas. The exhaust gas then enters the exhaust gas treatment chamber. In the exhaust gas treatment chamber, the treated exhaust gas passes through the deodorizing filter for physical deodorization, and then passes through the spray device again for deodorization. Finally, the treated exhaust gas is discharged from the discharge pipe through the exhaust fan in the discharge pipe.
[0018] S2. During the process of extracting exhaust gas from the chicken house, the exhaust gas is prone to carrying feathers because a large number of laying hens are raised in the chicken house. The feathers in the exhaust gas are isolated by the feather baffle. When too many feathers accumulate, they will block the feather baffle. When the feather baffle is blocked, the exhaust fan is stopped first. Then, the extension shaft is driven to rotate by an external motor, which in turn drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the window leaf to rotate 90 degrees, so that the air outlet of the exhaust box is sealed by the window leaf.
[0019] S3. While the window leaf rotates, the first gear drives the first rack to move, the first rack drives the translation rod to move, the translation rod drives the first trapezoidal groove to move, and the first trapezoidal groove opens the second trapezoidal groove, causing the lifting frame to drive the second rack to rise. When the second rack rises, it drives the second gear to rotate. At this time, the connecting shaft drives the rotating rod to rotate. When the rotating rod rotates, it drives the telescopic rod to rotate at the same time, so that the scraper removes the feathers attached to the surface of the feather baffle. When the telescopic rod contacts the rotating rod below, it slides with it through the top head and pushes the telescopic rod into the rotating rod to avoid obstruction of movement, and can also push away the feathers accumulated on the rotating rod and the telescopic rod below.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0021] 1. The dust reduction and deodorization device of the present invention can remove more than 95% of the feathers discharged from the chicken house and reduce the dust in the chicken house by more than 90%.
[0022] 2. The dust reduction and deodorization device of the present invention can achieve a removal rate of more than 95% for ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, a removal rate of more than 85% for dimethyl disulfide, a removal rate of more than 75% for carbon disulfide, and a removal rate of more than 80% for methyl sulfide, while saving more than 40% of energy consumption.
[0023] 3. This invention removes feathers while extracting waste gas from the chicken coop. By driving the window shutters to rotate, the rotating rod and telescopic rod can be rotated simultaneously, allowing feather cleaning to occur while the window shutters are closed. This ensures that the feather baffle can isolate and block feathers for a long time, improving the feather removal effect. Through a dust removal device, a deodorizing filter, and a spraying device, the waste gas after feather removal is treated for dust removal and deodorization, ensuring that the waste gas discharged to the outside is green and environmentally friendly.

[0048] This embodiment also provides a method for treating exhaust gas from large-scale layer chicken farms, including the following steps:
[0049] S1. The exhaust fan 803 is turned on according to different temperatures and breeding densities. At the same time, the exhaust fan in the discharge pipe 7 is turned on. The spray device 6 is started at the same time as the exhaust fan 803 is turned on. The exhaust fan 803 draws the exhaust gas in the chicken house 1 and discharges it into the exhaust duct 2. The exhaust gas passes through the dust removal device 3 to remove dust, and then passes through the spray device 6 to chemically deodorize the exhaust gas. The exhaust gas then enters the exhaust gas treatment chamber 4. In the exhaust gas treatment chamber 4, the treated exhaust gas passes through the deodorizing filter 5 for physical deodorization. The deodorizing filter includes biochar, deodorizing bacteria and rice bran, etc. Then it passes through the spray device 6 again for deodorization. The sprayed liquid is dilute acid, such as dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute boric acid. Then the absorbent enters the liquid collection tank. Finally, the treated exhaust gas is discharged from the discharge pipe 7 through the exhaust fan in the discharge pipe 7.
[0050] S2. During the process of extracting exhaust gas from chicken house 1, since a large number of laying hens are raised in chicken house 1, the exhaust gas is prone to carrying feathers. The feathers in the exhaust gas are isolated by the feather baffle 901. When too many feathers accumulate, they will block the feather baffle 901. When the feather baffle 901 is blocked, the exhaust fan 803 is stopped first. Then, the extension shaft 808 is driven to rotate by an external motor, which drives the rotating shaft 806 to rotate. The rotating shaft 806 drives the window leaf 805 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the air outlet of the exhaust box 801 is closed by the window leaf 805.
[0051] S3. While the window leaf 805 rotates, the first gear 811 drives the first rack 814 to move, the first rack 814 drives the translation rod 812 to move, the translation rod 812 drives the first trapezoidal groove 815 to move, and the first trapezoidal groove 815 pushes open the second trapezoidal groove 914, so that the lifting frame 912 drives the second rack 917 to rise. When the second rack 917 rises, it drives the second gear 911 to rotate. At this time, the connecting shaft 910 drives the rotating rod 903 to rotate. When the rotating rod 903 rotates, it drives the telescopic rod 904 to rotate at the same time, so that the scraper 909 scrapes off the feathers attached to the surface of the feather baffle 901. When the telescopic rod 904 contacts the rotating rod 903 below, it slides with it through the top head 908 and pushes the telescopic rod 904 into the rotating rod 903 to avoid obstruction of movement, and can push away the feathers accumulated on the rotating rod 903 and the telescopic rod 904 below.

A method for treating exhaust gas from a large-scale layer hen farm, applicable to the exhaust gas treatment equipment for large-scale layer hen farms as described in claim 4, characterized in that, The method includes the following steps: S1. The exhaust fan (803) is turned on inside according to different temperatures and breeding densities. At the same time, the exhaust fan in the discharge cylinder (7) is turned on. The spray device (6) is started at the same time as the exhaust fan (803) is turned on. The exhaust fan (803) draws the exhaust gas in the chicken house (1) and discharges it into the exhaust duct (2). The dust is removed by the dust removal device (3). Then the exhaust gas is chemically deodorized by the spray device (6). The exhaust gas then enters the exhaust gas treatment chamber (4). The treated exhaust gas is then physically deodorized by the deodorizing filter (5) in the exhaust gas treatment chamber (4). It is deodorized again by the spray device (6). Finally, the treated exhaust gas is discharged from the discharge cylinder (7) by the exhaust fan in the discharge cylinder (7). S2. During the process of extracting exhaust gas from the chicken house (1), feathers in the exhaust gas are isolated by the feather baffle (901). When the feather baffle (901) is blocked, the exhaust fan (803) is stopped first. Then, the extension shaft (808) is driven to rotate by the external motor connected to the extension shaft (808), thereby driving the rotating shaft (806) to rotate.

The translation rod (812) drives the first trapezoidal groove (815) to move. The first trapezoidal groove (815) pushes open the second trapezoidal groove (914), so that the lifting frame (912) drives the second rack (917) to rise. When the second rack (917) rises, it drives the second gear (911) to rotate. At this time, the connecting shaft (910) drives the rotation. The rotating rod (903) rotates; when the rotating rod (903) rotates, it drives the telescopic rod (904) to rotate at the same time, so that the scraper (909) scrapes off the feathers attached to the surface of the feather baffle (901); when the telescopic rod (904) contacts the rotating rod (903) below, it slides to connect with it through the top head (908), and pushes the telescopic rod (904) into the rotating rod (903) to avoid obstruction of movement, and can push away the feathers accumulated on the rotating rod (903) and the telescopic rod (904) below.
