Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of disinfection vehicle technology, and more particularly to a disinfection vehicle for sheep sheds. Background Technology
[0002] The development of large-scale sheep farming has placed higher demands on disease prevention and control. Sheep sheds, as the main activity area for sheep, are prone to accumulating pathogenic microorganisms (such as foot-and-mouth disease virus and Brucella) on their floors, walls, and facility surfaces. Traditional manual spraying disinfection methods using backpack sprayers suffer from low efficiency, uneven coverage, and high labor intensity. Studies have shown that manual backpack disinfection equipment can only treat approximately 200 square meters per hour, and the disinfectant sedimentation rate is as high as 40%, resulting in insufficient disinfectant utilization. More seriously, uneven mixing of the disinfectant may lead to insufficient concentrations (<1%) in some areas, failing to effectively kill pathogens, while excessively high local concentrations (5%) can corrode facilities or harm the health of the sheep.
[0003] As a core piece of equipment replacing manual labor, the performance of disinfection vehicles hinges on the uniformity of disinfectant solution and the efficiency of spatial coverage. The former ensures the stable release of active ingredients in the disinfectant, while the latter determines the proportion of areas disinfected without blind spots. Although existing technologies have achieved basic functions, significant deficiencies remain in dynamic mixing and three-dimensional coverage, directly impacting the improvement of biosecurity levels in sheep pens.
[0004] Therefore, developing efficient, uniform, and intelligent disinfection equipment has become an urgent need for the modern sheep farming industry. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a disinfection vehicle for sheep sheds.
[0006] This invention is achieved using the following technical solution: a disinfection vehicle for sheep pens, comprising:
[0007] The vehicle body and disinfection mechanism are as follows: a handrail is fixed to one side of the top of the vehicle body, a battery is installed on the top of the vehicle body, and casters are connected to the bottom of the vehicle body. The disinfection mechanism is installed on the top of the frame and is connected to the battery.
[0008] The disinfection mechanism consists of a disinfection tank and a pressurizing component, an agitating component, a pressure relief component, a drive component, and an adjusting component installed at the disinfection tank. The disinfection tank is fixed to the top of the vehicle frame. When the drive component is started, it synchronously drives the pressurizing component and the agitating component located inside the disinfection tank to operate. Finally, it moves back to the original position along the adjusting component and performs atomized spraying. The pressure relief component is used to ensure the stability of the air pressure inside the disinfection tank.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, a drain port is connected to one side of the bottom of the disinfection tank, and a control valve is installed at the drain port.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the pressure relief assembly includes a protruding plate fixedly connected to one side of the top of the sterilization tank. The protruding plate communicates with the inside of the sterilization tank. A detachable cover is attached to the top of the protruding plate, and a pressure valve is connected to the top of the cover.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the pressurization component includes an annular block fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the sterilization tank, a movable plug vertically slidably connected inside the block, a pressure rod coaxially fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the movable plug, and a vertical one-way valve provided at the movable plug.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the agitation assembly includes a vertical rod coaxially fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable plug, and a disturbance plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the vertical rod.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the drive assembly includes an electric push rod fixedly connected to the top of the sterilization tank, the top of the telescopic end of the electric push rod being connected to the bottom end of the pressure rod, and the electric push rod being electrically connected to the battery.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the adjustment component includes an infusion tube fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the disinfection tank. The infusion tube consists of a rigid tube section and a flexible tube section. The rigid tube section is connected to the outer wall of the disinfection tank. The outer end of the flexible tube section is connected to a corrugated pipe, and the outer end of the corrugated pipe is connected to a T-shaped pipe. The two sides of the outer end of the T-shaped pipe are perpendicular to the direction of travel of the vehicle frame and parallel to the ground. Two top columns are symmetrically fixedly connected to the two sides of the inner end of the T-shaped pipe. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the two top columns. The horizontal plate is connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod. Positioning ring blocks are symmetrically and coaxially fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two sides of the outer end of the T-shaped pipe. Spray heads are rotatably connected to the two positioning ring blocks. Both spray heads have nozzles with the same inclined direction through them. Gears are coaxially fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two spray heads.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above scheme, the inclination angle between the nozzle and the outer end face of the nozzle head is 15° to 60°.
[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, a positioning frame is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the battery. A movable slot is vertically opened in the middle of the positioning frame. The movable slot slides vertically against the outer wall of the tee pipe. Vertical rack plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the positioning frame. The two rack plates mesh with adjacent gears respectively.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0018] (i) When the electric push rod drives the movable plug to move vertically, it simultaneously drives the disturbance plate to forcibly stir the disinfectant, thereby achieving dynamic homogenization during the pressurization process, eliminating concentration stratification, and ensuring stable spray concentration throughout the entire process.
[0019] (ii) When the three-way pipe is raised and lowered, the nozzle is automatically rotated by the meshing of the gear and rack plate. With the nozzles with an inclination angle of 15°-60°, it can achieve three-dimensional coverage of 60° in the vertical direction and 360° in the horizontal direction, with a coverage height of up to 2.5m ceiling.
[0020] (iii) The present invention automatically adjusts the pressure inside the tank in the range of 0.25-0.4MPa through the pressure relief component, avoiding the risk of overpressure while maintaining a constant atomization effect and ensuring that the adhesion rate of disinfectant is increased by 40%.

[0031] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0032] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-8 The sheepfold disinfection vehicle of this embodiment includes:
[0033] The vehicle body and disinfection mechanism are as follows: a handrail 11 is fixed to one side of the top of the vehicle body, a battery 12 is installed on the top of the vehicle body, and a moving wheel is connected to the bottom of the vehicle body; the disinfection mechanism is installed on the top of the frame 1 and is connected to the battery 12.
[0034] The disinfection mechanism consists of a disinfection tank 2 and a pressurizing component, an agitating component, a pressure relief component, a drive component, and an adjusting component installed on the disinfection tank 2. The disinfection tank 2 is fixed to the top of the frame 1. When the drive component is started, it synchronously drives the pressurizing component and the agitating component located in the disinfection tank 2 to operate. Finally, it moves back to the original position along the adjusting component and performs atomized spraying. The pressure relief component is used to ensure the stability of the air pressure inside the disinfection tank 2.
[0035] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 One pair of the casters are omnidirectional casters with a large diameter, which, together with the frame 1, makes the entire chassis of the vehicle high. The disinfection tank 2 holds the disinfectant solution and relies on an agitator to ensure uniform distribution of the solution. The drive assembly, by reciprocating vertically with the pressurizing and agitating components, applies pressure to the disinfection tank 2, causing it to spray out into the sheepfold under pressure. The pressure relief assembly prevents the pressurizing assembly from continuously pressurizing the disinfection tank 2, allowing for the release of excessive internal pressure, thus ensuring the atomized spray pressure of the disinfectant while preventing excessive internal pressure. The adjustment assembly, connected to the drive assembly, is used to drive the disinfectant solution to be sprayed evenly throughout the sheepfold.
[0036] The bottom of the disinfection tank 2 is connected to a drain port 210, and a control valve is installed at the drain port 210.
[0037] See Figure 3 The control valve at the drain port 210 is not shown. It can press down the handrail 11 to release the liquid inside and use the moving wheels as a fulcrum to allow the liquid inside to flow out through the unfolded control valve.
[0038] The pressure relief assembly includes a protruding plate 24 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the sterilization tank 2. The protruding plate 24 is in communication with the inside of the sterilization tank 2. A detachable cover 21 is attached to the top of the protruding plate 24. A pressure valve 22 is connected to the top of the cover 21.
[0039] See Figure 3 and Figure 4One way to connect the cover 21 and the convex plate 24 is by bolt fixing. When the gas pressure inside the disinfection tank 2 is too high, the pressure valve 22 will be opened to connect with the outside, allowing the excess gas to flow to the outside through the pressure valve 22. When the gas pressure inside the disinfection tank 2 decreases, the pressure valve 22 will automatically lock to prevent the internal gas from interacting directly with the outside. When it is necessary to add liquid, it can be added by opening the cover 21 and entering through the convex plate 24. Clean water can also be added into the convex plate 24 for cleaning during later cleaning.
[0040] Furthermore, the pressure valve 22 is set with an opening pressure of 0.4 MPa and a closing pressure of 0.25 MPa.
[0041] The pressurization assembly includes an annular block 25 fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the sterilization tank 2. A movable plug 26 is vertically slidably connected inside the block 25. A pressure rod 27 is coaxially fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the movable plug 26. A vertical one-way valve is provided at the movable plug 26.
[0042] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the movable plug 26 descends, the one-way valve at the movable plug 26 will be closed, causing the gas at the circular block 25 to be squeezed into the disinfection tank 2. When the movable plug 26 rises, the one-way valve will open, allowing outside gas to enter the circular block 25 through the one-way valve. This process repeats continuously, using the movable plug 26 to pressurize the disinfection tank 2 and using air pressure to push the disinfectant to the outside.
[0043] The agitation assembly includes a vertical rod 28 coaxially fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable plug 26, and a disturbance plate 29 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the vertical rod 28.
[0044] See Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The middle part of the entire disturbance plate 29 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the vertical rod 28. As the vertical rod 28 moves up and down, the disturbance plate 29 can disturb the disinfectant in the disinfection tank 2 through the hollow holes. Furthermore, the thickness of the entire disturbance plate 29 is limited. When it moves up and down with the vertical rod 28, the resistance of the water will easily cause the disturbance plate 29 to vibrate, further improving the disturbance effect on the disinfectant.
[0045] The drive assembly includes an electric push rod 23 fixedly connected to the top of the sterilization tank 2. The top of the telescopic end of the electric push rod 23 is connected to the bottom of the pressure rod 27. The electric push rod 23 is electrically connected to the battery 12.
[0046] See Figure 4 A protective cover is installed on the top of the battery 12 to prevent disinfectant from settling on the battery 12 after spraying, thus ensuring the service life of the battery 12. The electric push rod 23 can drive the booster component and the regulating component simultaneously to realize the operation of the entire equipment.
[0047] The adjusting assembly includes an infusion tube 3 fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the sterilizer 2. The infusion tube 3 consists of a rigid tube section and a flexible tube section. The rigid tube section is connected to the outer wall of the sterilizer 2, and the outer end of the flexible tube section is connected to a corrugated pipe 31. The outer end of the corrugated pipe 31 is connected to a tee pipe 33. (See reference...) Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The infusion tube 3 has a rigid section at the front end and a flexible section above the battery 12, which is used to accommodate the vertical displacement of the three-way tube 33. The corrugated pipe 31 is telescopic, and works with the flexible section to accommodate the vertical displacement of the three-way tube 33. The outer ends of the three-way tube 33 are perpendicular to the direction of travel of the frame 1 and parallel to the ground. Two top posts 39 are symmetrically fixed to the inner ends of the three-way tube 33. A horizontal plate 310 is fixedly connected to the other end of each top post 39. The horizontal plate 310 is connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 23. Positioning ring blocks 35 are symmetrically and coaxially fixedly connected to the outer walls of the outer ends of the three-way tube 33. Two positioning ring blocks 35 are rotatably connected to nozzles 36, and bearings are installed inside the positioning ring blocks 35 to rotatably connect to the nozzles 36. Both nozzles 36 have nozzles 37 with the same inclined direction, and gears 38 are coaxially fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two nozzles 36.
[0048] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 All nozzles 37 are inclined at a certain angle to the outer end face of the nozzle 36, so that after pressurization, the disinfectant is sprayed out along the infusion tube 3 and finally at the nozzle 37.
[0049] Furthermore, for every 10cm rise and fall of the three-way pipe 33 (this is only the height in this embodiment, but it can also be other distances, such as every 8cm, etc.), the gear 38 engages with the rack plate 34 to drive the nozzle 36 to rotate 90°.
[0050] The inclination angle between the nozzle 37 and the outer end face of the nozzle 36 is 15° to 60°.
[0051] See Figure 8 The nozzle 37 is tilted, which allows the disinfectant to atomize along the tilt direction during spraying, further increasing the coverage of the disinfectant and the sheepfold.
[0052] A positioning frame 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the battery 12. A movable slot is vertically opened in the middle of the positioning frame 32. The movable slot slides vertically with the outer wall of the three-way pipe 33. Vertical rack plates 34 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the positioning frame 32. The two rack plates 34 mesh with the adjacent gears 38 respectively.
[0053] See Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The three-way pipe 33 has sliders on both sides of its outer wall, so that the movable slot in the middle of the positioning frame 32 slides vertically with the sliders, ensuring the stability of the three-way pipe 33 when it moves. As the three-way pipe 33 moves vertically, the nozzle 36 rotates as it moves vertically, relying on the meshing of the gear 38 and the rack plate 34, and drives the inclined nozzle 37 to further increase the spray range of the disinfectant.
[0054] The implementation principle of the sheepfold disinfection vehicle in this embodiment is as follows:
[0055] After opening the cap 21, pour the liquid and disinfectant into the disinfection tank 2. After the raw materials have been added, lock the cap 21 again. Then, start the electric push rod 23 to drive the pressure rod 27 and the horizontal plate 310 to move vertically in sync.
[0056] After the pressure rod 27 moves vertically, it can drive the movable plug 26 to move along the round block 25. When it is pressed down, it squeezes the gas into the sterilization tank 2. When it rises, it draws air from the outside through the one-way valve. As the pressure rod 27 drives the movable plug 26 to move vertically back and forth, it continuously performs the pressurization action and sprays the gas out along the infusion tube 3 to the nozzle 36 by means of air pressure.
[0057] As the vertical rod 28 moves vertically in sync, it causes the disturbance plate 29 to come into contact with the liquid in the disinfection tank 2, thereby disturbing the liquid and ensuring that the disinfectant in the disinfection tank 2 is fully mixed.
[0058] When the horizontal plate 310 is started by the electric push rod 23, it can drive the three-way pipe 33 to slide back and forth vertically at the positioning frame 32. As the three-way pipe 33 moves, it can simultaneously drive the two nozzles 36 to rotate together under the meshing of the gear 38 and the rack plate 34, and spray outward through the nozzle 37 to achieve multi-angle radiation under vertical height changes, further improving the disinfection range.
[0059] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
