Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chicken coop cleaning technology, and in particular to an intelligent chicken coop cleaning system. Background Technology
[0002] With social development and the improvement of people's living standards, people's demand for chicken is constantly increasing. As a result, the chicken farming industry is also developing. Traditional chicken houses are large in scale and do not have cleaning devices installed inside. It is very difficult to clean up the excrement of adult chickens, which increases labor costs and wastes water resources.
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, those skilled in the art have made improvements to existing technologies. For example, a chicken coop with easy cleaning, disclosed in CN206402919U, includes an easy-to-clean chicken coop, which mainly consists of chicken coop walls, a chicken coop floor, and a chicken coop roof. A wastewater flow channel is provided in the middle of the chicken coop floor, and a wastewater recycling tank is installed at the end of the wastewater flow channel. A water outlet pipe runs through the inside of the chicken coop walls, and a water jet nozzle is installed at the end of the water outlet pipe on the inner side of the chicken coop walls. A water storage pump, a water storage tank, and a water pump are installed sequentially on the chicken coop roof. A filter screen is installed in the water storage tank, and an inlet pipe is connected to the left side of the water storage tank. The water storage tank and the water storage pump are connected through the inlet pipe, which can flush the chicken coop. However, in actual use, when chicken manure dries, it easily adheres to the surface of the chicken coop. Flushing alone cannot quickly clean the chicken manure, resulting in low cleaning efficiency and inconvenience in use.
[0004] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0021] See Figures 1-5 This invention provides an intelligent cleaning system for chicken coops, comprising: The base 1 is set on the ground (or other supporting plane). The base 1 is hollow inside. A fence (usually a perforated plate structure such as wire mesh, which can prevent chickens from crawling out and facilitate observation of the internal situation) is fixedly connected around the top surface of the base 1. The fence structure is complex, so it is omitted to ensure the clarity of the drawings in this application. The structure of the fence is common knowledge to those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail.
[0022] The flexible net 2 is located at the top of the base 1. The flexible net 2 has a hollow structure, which allows chicken manure to pass through and fall into the base 1. Both ends of the flexible net 2 are fixedly connected to the winding shaft 21. The two winding shafts 21 are respectively rotatably located at both ends inside the base 1. The width of the flexible net 2 is more than twice the width of the base 1.
[0023] Two end baffles 3 are respectively located at both ends of the base 1. The end baffles 3 are both located above the winding shaft 21 and below the flexible net 2. The end baffles 3 can prevent chicken manure from falling onto the flexible net 2 on the winding shaft 21. A guide shaft 31 is provided below each end baffle 3. The guide shaft 31 can cooperate with the flexible net 2 to keep the flexible net 2 located on one side of the end baffle 3 in a vertical state.
[0024] Two mesh cleaning shafts 4 are respectively located at both ends of the base 1. The mesh cleaning shafts 4 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the base 1. The mesh cleaning shafts 4 are located between the flexible mesh 2 and the side wall of the base 1. The mesh cleaning shafts 4 are provided with mesh cleaning seats 42, which are slidably connected to the side wall of the base 1. The surface of the mesh cleaning shafts 4 is provided with reciprocating grooves that cooperate with the mesh cleaning seats 42 (the structure of which is similar to that of a reciprocating screw). The mesh cleaning seats 42 are provided with through holes through which the mesh cleaning shafts 4 pass. The inner side wall of the through holes is provided with guide posts that cooperate with the reciprocating grooves, so that when the mesh cleaning shafts 4 rotate in one direction, the mesh cleaning seats 42 can reciprocate along the mesh cleaning shafts 4 to clean the flexible mesh 2.
[0025] Driven shaft 5, two driven shafts 5 are respectively located at both ends of base 1. Both driven shafts 5 are rotatably connected to the side wall of base 1. Half gear 51 (i.e., only half of the circumferential surface is equipped with gear teeth, and the other half is a smooth circumferential surface) is fixedly connected to driven shaft 5. Driven shaft 5 is located between mesh cleaning shaft 4 and winding shaft 21. Winding gear 22 is fixedly connected to winding shaft 21, and cleaning gear 41 is fixedly connected to mesh cleaning shaft 4. During the rotation of driven shaft 5, at any given time, only one of winding gear 22 and cleaning gear 41 meshes with half gear 51.
[0026] The drive shaft 7 is rotatably mounted on one side wall of the base 1. The drive shaft 7 is connected to a drive component (not shown in the figure). The drive component is located on the inner side wall of the base 1. The other end of the drive shaft 7 extends out of the base 1. A rotating seat 71 is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 7 located outside the base 1. The rotating seat 71 is provided with a positive ratchet. The positive ratchet and the drive shaft 7 are concentric. The drive shaft 7 is rotatably provided with a positive pawl that can rotate in one direction. When the drive shaft 7 rotates forward, the positive ratchet and the positive pawl cooperate, so that the rotating seat 71 rotates synchronously with the drive shaft 7. A positioning shaft 73 is rotatably connected to the rotating base 71, and a driving gear 72 is rotatably connected to the positioning shaft 73. A reverse ratchet (similar in structure to a forward ratchet but in the opposite direction) is provided on one side wall of the driving gear 72. The reverse ratchet, driving gear 72, and positioning shaft 73 are concentric. A unidirectional rotatable reverse pawl is rotatably provided on the positioning shaft 73. A first belt is provided between the positioning shaft 73 and the driving shaft 7. When the driving shaft 7 reverses, the reverse ratchet and reverse pawl engage, enabling the driving gear 72 to reverse synchronously with the driving shaft 7. Drive shafts are rotatably connected to the outer walls of the base 1 on both sides of the driving shaft 7. Drive gears 6 that mesh with the driving gear 72 are fixedly connected to each drive shaft. A second belt connects adjacent drive shafts to the driven shaft 5.
[0027] See Figures 1-5 Preferably, a top shaft 8 is provided above the drive shaft 7. The top shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the base 1. One end of the top shaft 8 passes through the base 1 and is fixedly connected to a top gear 81 that can mesh with the drive gear 72. A movable seat 82 is provided near the inner side wall of the base 1 on the top shaft 8 (the cooperation method between the movable seat 82 and the drive shaft 7 is the same as that between the mesh cleaning shaft 4 and the mesh cleaning seat 42). When the top shaft 8 rotates in one direction, the movable seat 82 can move back and forth along the top shaft 8. A locking member 83 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the base 1 near the movable seat 82. A connecting rod 85 is rotatably connected between adjacent movable seats 82 and locking members 83 (i.e., one end of the connecting rod 85 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 82, and the other end of the connecting rod 85 is rotatably connected to the locking member 83). Several locking inserts 84 that can cooperate with the hollowed-out parts on the flexible mesh 2 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the locking member 83.
[0028] See Figures 1-5Preferably, a bottom shaft 9 is provided below the drive shaft 7. The bottom shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the base 1. One end of the bottom shaft 9 passes through the base 1 and is fixedly connected to a bottom gear 91 that can mesh with the drive gear 72. A bottom cleaning seat 92 is provided on the bottom shaft 9 (the cooperation method between the bottom cleaning seat 92 and the bottom shaft 9 is the same as that between the mesh cleaning shaft 4 and the mesh cleaning seat 42). The bottom cleaning seat 92 is slidably connected to the side wall of the base 1. The bottom cleaning seat 92 can clean the inner bottom surface of the base 1. Discharge ports are provided at both ends of the bottom surface of the base 1 to realize the automatic discharge of chicken manure.
[0029] See Figures 1-5 Preferably, both the mesh cleaning seat 42 and the bottom cleaning seat 92 are fixedly connected with several scrapers to ensure a good cleaning effect.
[0030] See Figures 1-5 Preferably, the user can fix a stabilizing element to the rotating seat 71. The stabilizing element is slidably connected to the outer wall of the base 1. The friction between the stabilizing element and the base 1 is used to ensure that the rotating seat 71 does not rotate when the drive shaft 7 reverses.
[0031] See Figures 1-5 Preferably, the user can install a protective shell on the outer wall of the base 1 to protect the drive gear 72, transmission gear 6 and rotating seat 71 and other structures.
[0032] See Figures 1-5 Preferably, a number of limiting rods passing through the movable seat 82 are provided next to the top shaft 8, and both ends of the limiting rods are fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 1, which can prevent the movable seat 82 from rotating.
[0033] See Figures 1-5 Preferably, the user can fix several support plates to the top surface of the base 1, with a certain gap between adjacent support plates, and the support plates do not interfere with the locking rod 84. The support plates are located below the flexible net 2, which can provide a certain degree of support for the chickens. Moreover, the width of the support plates is small, which can reduce the risk of chicken manure accumulating on them.
[0034] See Figures 1-5 Preferably, the driving component is a rotary motor, which can provide sufficient power.
[0035] In the implementation of this invention: When it is necessary to clean the flexible mesh 2, the drive unit starts and rotates forward. At this time, the positive ratchet engages with the positive pawl, and the negative ratchet does not engage with the negative pawl. The rotating seat 71 rotates, causing the drive gear 72 to mesh with one of the transmission gears 6. Then, the drive unit reverses, at which time the positive ratchet does not engage with the positive pawl, and the negative ratchet engages with the negative pawl. The rotating seat 71 does not rotate, and the drive gear 72 reverses. Under the meshing action of the drive gear 72 and the aforementioned transmission gear 6, the transmission shaft that meshes with the transmission gear 6 drives the driven shaft 5 on one side of the base 1 to rotate via the first belt. During the rotation of the driven shaft 5, when the half gear 51 meshes with the winding gear 22, it drives the winding shaft 21 to rotate at a certain angle, causing the flexible mesh 2 to move a certain distance in the direction of the winding shaft 21. When the half gear 51 meshes with the cleaning gear 41, it drives the mesh cleaning shaft 4 to rotate. The mesh cleaning seat 42 reciprocates along the mesh cleaning shaft 4, cleaning a portion of the flexible mesh. 2. The surface is cleaned (at the same time, the half gear 51 on the other side of the base 1 does not mesh with the winding gear 22, only the winding shaft 21 drives the winding gear 22 to rotate). After the flexible mesh 2 is cleaned, the drive component rotates forward, so that the drive gear 72 meshes with the top gear 81. Then the drive component reverses, the drive gear 72 drives the top gear 81 to rotate, thereby driving the top shaft 8 to rotate, so that the moving seat 82 moves towards the side wall of the base 1. Under the action of the connecting rod 85, the locking component 83 rises, so that several locking plugs 84 cooperate with the hollow part of the flexible mesh 2 to lock the flexible mesh 2 (before cleaning the flexible mesh 2, the locking plugs 84 need to be disengaged from the flexible mesh 2). Then the drive component rotates forward, so that the drive gear 72 meshes with the bottom gear 91. Then the drive component reverses, the bottom shaft 9 rotates, and the bottom cleaning seat 92 reciprocates to scrape and clean the bottom surface of the base 1. The cleaned chicken manure and other debris are discharged at the discharge port.
[0036] This invention provides an intelligent cleaning system for chicken coops, which has the following advantages: 1. It can use the flexible netting alternately and clean it automatically, ensuring good cleaning results, reducing the labor burden of users, and improving the hygiene of the chicken house.
[0037] 2. It can automatically collect flexible mesh components and clean them simultaneously during the collection process, which improves cleaning efficiency and ensures that the cleaned flexible mesh components are not contaminated.
[0038] 3. It can lock the flexible netting to prevent accidental movement during daily use, reduce the risk of startling chickens, and improve economic efficiency.
[0039] In summary, the beneficial effects of this invention are: it can automatically realize the winding and cleaning of flexible mesh, allowing for the alternating use of flexible mesh, reducing the user's workload, and improving the cleaning effect and efficiency.
[0040] Of course, the present invention may have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make corresponding changes and modifications according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
