Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquaculture environment control technology, specifically to a method and equipment for cleaning wet curtain spray pipes in chicken houses. Background Technology
[0002] Evaporative cooling pads are an important facility for cooling automated chicken houses in summer. They have two main uses: First, during the transitional and longitudinal ventilation stages, they serve as air inlets to provide fresh outdoor air to the chicken house. Second, in summer, when the average temperature of the chicken house reaches the set temperature for the water supply to the evaporative cooling pads (e.g., 30°C), the water pump will draw water to wet the evaporative cooling pads, cooling the air passing through them and thus stabilizing the temperature of the chicken house to prevent it from rising further.
[0003] There are two main cleaning methods: one is to use a cleaning machine to rinse the surface of the wet curtain, but this cannot clean the inside of the spray pipe, and the high pressure can easily damage the wet curtain paper; the other is to disassemble both ends of the spray pipe and clean it by threading a wire through the pipe with a cloth. This method is labor-intensive, inefficient, and difficult to completely remove scale. In the end, the pipe often needs to be replaced, which is costly and time-consuming.
[0004] Based on the above situation, there is an urgent need for a cleaning method for the wet curtain spray pipes in chicken houses to solve the problems of easily damaged equipment and low efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of incomplete cleaning, easy damage to wet curtain paper, and high workload and low efficiency in disassembling the spray pipes of existing cleaning methods.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: On the one hand, a method for cleaning the spray pipes of the wet curtain in a chicken coop is provided, including: Continuously acquire monitoring data from the evaporative cooling pads; Determine the level of congestion based on monitoring data; Perform the corresponding cleaning operation according to the level of blockage; The cleaning operation includes: High-pressure physical flushing is performed inside the spray pipes; And / or add chemical cleaning agents to the circulating water of the wet curtain for chemical cleaning.
[0007] Existing cleaning methods, such as using cleaning machines, are often incomplete and easily damage the wet curtain paper. Disassembling both ends of the spray pipes is labor-intensive and inefficient. In this solution, continuous monitoring and level assessment change the traditional extensive cleaning mode based on fixed cycles or experience. It achieves a shift from "passive treatment" to "proactive prevention," enabling timely response to different levels of blockage. This avoids resource waste caused by over-cleaning and the impact on cooling caused by insufficient cleaning. While ensuring optimal cleaning results, it improves cleaning efficiency, saves water and chemical agents, reduces equipment wear and tear, and solves the problems of easily damaged equipment and low efficiency.
[0008] Furthermore, this solution is not limited to the specific steps for acquiring monitoring data. One feasible solution is as follows: the continuous acquisition of monitoring data from the evaporative cooling pad includes: Collect images of the drainage on the surface of the evaporative cooling pad and calculate the drainage uniformity; Monitor the return water flow rate Q of the wet curtain circulating water tank.
[0009] When this scheme is adopted, the uniformity of water flow distribution can be intuitively reflected by collecting images of the drainage system, and the internal flow rate of the pipe can be effectively reflected by monitoring the return water flow. Combining the two for comprehensive judgment makes the determination of the blockage level more scientific, accurate and comprehensive.
[0010] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific method for determining the congestion level. One feasible solution is as follows: determining the congestion level based on monitoring data includes: If the uniformity of the drainage is not lower than the first threshold and the return water flow rate is not lower than the second threshold, then it is determined that there is no blockage. If the uniformity of the drainage in the drainage image is lower than the first threshold and the return flow is not lower than the second threshold, it is judged as a minor blockage. If the uniformity of the drainage image is not lower than the first threshold and the return flow is lower than the second threshold, it is judged as a moderate blockage. If the uniformity of the drainage is lower than the first threshold and the return flow rate is lower than the second threshold, it is judged as a severe blockage.
[0011] When this scheme is adopted, the preset first and second thresholds enable the automated system to execute the judgment process accurately and unambiguously, reducing the subjectivity of human intervention and providing a reliable decision-making basis for subsequent execution of different cleaning operations.
[0012] Furthermore, the cleaning operation based on the level of blockage includes: If it is a minor blockage, the inside of the spray pipe will be subjected to high-pressure physical flushing for a first predetermined time. If it is a moderate blockage, first add chemical cleaning agent to the circulating water and soak for a second predetermined time, then perform high-pressure physical flushing; If the blockage is severe, an enhanced cleaning mode will be activated, which includes one or more of the following: extending the soaking time of the chemical cleaning agent, increasing the pressure of the high-pressure physical flush, or increasing the frequency of flushing.
[0013] When using this solution, mild blockages are treated with physical flushing only, saving on chemical agents and allowing for quick operation; moderate blockages are treated by using chemical action to soften and decompose scale, followed by physical removal, which increases the cleaning intensity; severe blockages are treated by activating an enhanced mode, which uses a combination of methods to ensure sufficient cleaning intensity, thereby extending the service life of the pipes.
[0014] Furthermore, to avoid the chicken house temperature from dropping too low during the cleaning process, one feasible solution is to check the ambient temperature before performing high-pressure physical rinsing. If the ambient temperature is lower than the set temperature, the wet curtain deflector should be turned off. When using this solution, the moisture content of the wet curtain paper increases during the cleaning process, and the wet curtain deflector is turned off to avoid excessive cooling.
[0015] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific steps of high-pressure physical flushing; one feasible solution is as follows: the high-pressure physical flushing includes: The control drive mechanism drives the unblocking hose to reciprocate inside the spray pipe; Control the high-pressure washer to supply water to the nozzle at a pressure of 10-15 atmospheres.
[0016] When this solution is adopted, the drive mechanism simulates manual dragging action, but performs scraping and rinsing of the inner wall of the pipe without dead angles, resulting in more thorough cleaning; the pressure is controlled at 10-15 atmospheres, which is sufficient to remove most of the blockages, while avoiding damage to the spray pipe due to excessive pressure, thus protecting the safety of the equipment.
[0017] Furthermore, the addition of chemical cleaning agents to the circulating water includes: Control the metering pump to draw a predetermined dose of acidifier or algaecide from the storage tank; Chemical cleaning agents are added to the circulating water of the wet curtain through delivery pipelines.
[0018] When using this solution, the dosage of the chemical can be precisely controlled by using a metering pump and a storage tank. This ensures the cleaning effect while avoiding the corrosion and pollution to equipment and water quality that may be caused by waste or excessive dosage of the chemical. This makes the chemical cleaning process more scientific, environmentally friendly and controllable.
[0019] On the other hand, a cleaning device for the spray pipes of wet curtains in chicken houses is provided, including: The data acquisition module is used to acquire monitoring data reflecting the blockage status of the wet curtain spray pipes in real time; The processing module is communicatively connected to the data acquisition module and is used to receive and analyze the monitoring data, and output corresponding cleaning instructions according to the preset blockage determination algorithm. The cleaning module is communicatively connected to the processing module and is used to receive the cleaning instructions and execute the corresponding cleaning operations.
[0020] When this solution is adopted, by integrating data acquisition, processing and cleaning modules, a complete automated cleaning device is formed, which greatly improves the reliability, consistency and efficiency of cleaning operations and provides a hardware foundation for the practical application of the method.
[0021] Furthermore, this solution is not limited to the specific structure of the cleaning module; one feasible solution is that the cleaning module includes: High-pressure flushing unit is used to physically flush the inside of the spray pipe; The chemical cleaning unit is used to add chemical cleaning agents to the circulating water of the wet curtain.
[0022] Furthermore, to facilitate the movement of the nozzles, one feasible solution is as follows: the high-pressure flushing unit includes a hose and nozzles mounted on the hose. The hose is connected to two drive wheels driven by a motor housing. The nozzles are equipped with at least one forward-facing nozzle and several backward-facing nozzles. With this solution, the drive wheels driven by the motor housing enable the automatic movement and retraction of the hose. The rear nozzles generate forward propulsion and clean the pipe behind the nozzles, while the front nozzles directly impact the blockages in front, thereby efficiently and thoroughly flushing the entire pipe.
[0023] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: I. Through continuous monitoring and level assessment, the traditional extensive cleaning model based on fixed cycles or experience has been changed, realizing the transformation from "passive treatment" to "proactive prevention". It can respond to blockages of different degrees in a timely manner, avoid the waste of resources caused by over-cleaning, and avoid the impact of insufficient cleaning on cooling. While ensuring the best cleaning effect, it improves cleaning efficiency, saves water and chemical agents, reduces equipment wear and tear, and solves the problems of easily damaged equipment and low efficiency. Second, by using the preset first and second thresholds, the automated system can execute the judgment process accurately and unambiguously, reducing the subjectivity of human intervention and providing a reliable decision-making basis for subsequent execution of different cleaning operations. Third, by integrating data acquisition, processing and cleaning modules, a complete automated cleaning device is formed, which greatly improves the reliability, consistency and efficiency of cleaning operations and provides a hardware foundation for the practical application of the method.

[0026] It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the term "comprising" or any other variations thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.
[0027] The features and performance of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments.
[0028] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 A method for cleaning the spray pipes of a chicken coop wet curtain includes: S100, continuously acquire monitoring data of the wet curtain; S200, determines the congestion level based on monitoring data; S300, Perform corresponding cleaning operations according to the level of blockage; The cleaning operation includes: High-pressure physical flushing is performed inside the spray pipes; And / or add chemical cleaning agents to the circulating water of the wet curtain for chemical cleaning.
[0029] Existing cleaning methods, such as using cleaning machines, are often incomplete and easily damage the wet curtain paper. Disassembling both ends of the spray pipes is labor-intensive and inefficient. In this solution, continuous monitoring and level assessment change the traditional extensive cleaning mode based on fixed cycles or experience. It achieves a shift from "passive treatment" to "proactive prevention," enabling timely response to different levels of blockage. This avoids resource waste caused by over-cleaning and the impact on cooling caused by insufficient cleaning. While ensuring optimal cleaning results, it improves cleaning efficiency, saves water and chemical agents, reduces equipment wear and tear, and solves the problems of easily damaged equipment and low efficiency.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 This solution is not limited to the specific steps for acquiring monitoring data. One feasible solution is as follows: The continuous acquisition of monitoring data from the wet curtain includes: S110. Collect images of the drainage on the surface of the wet curtain and calculate the drainage uniformity; S120. Monitor the return water flow rate Q of the wet curtain circulating water tank.
[0031] When this scheme is adopted, the uniformity of water flow distribution can be intuitively reflected by collecting images of the drainage system, and the internal flow rate of the pipe can be effectively reflected by monitoring the return water flow. Combining the two for comprehensive judgment makes the determination of the blockage level more scientific, accurate and comprehensive.
[0032] Reference Figure 3 This solution does not exclusively limit the specific method for determining the congestion level. One feasible solution is as follows: Determining the congestion level based on monitoring data includes: S210. If the uniformity of the drainage is not lower than the first threshold and the return water flow rate is not lower than the second threshold, then it is determined that there is no blockage. S220. If the uniformity of the drainage in the drainage image is lower than the first threshold and the return flow rate is not lower than the second threshold, it is determined to be a minor blockage. S230. If the uniformity of the drainage in the drainage image is not lower than the first threshold and the return flow is lower than the second threshold, then it is determined to be a moderate blockage. S240. If the uniformity of drainage is lower than the first threshold and the return flow rate is lower than the second threshold, it is judged as severe blockage.
[0033] When this scheme is adopted, the preset first and second thresholds enable the automated system to execute the judgment process accurately and unambiguously, reducing the subjectivity of human intervention and providing a reliable decision-making basis for subsequent execution of different cleaning operations.
[0034] Reference Figure 4 The cleaning operation based on the level of blockage includes: S310. If it is a minor blockage, perform a high-pressure physical flushing of the inside of the spray pipe for a first predetermined time. S320. If it is a moderate blockage, first add chemical cleaning agent to the circulating water and soak for a second predetermined time, then perform high-pressure physical flushing. S330. If the blockage is severe, activate the enhanced cleaning mode, which includes one or more of the following: extending the soaking time of the chemical cleaning agent, increasing the pressure of the high-pressure physical flush, or increasing the frequency of flushing.
[0035] When using this solution, mild blockages are treated with physical flushing only, saving on chemical agents and allowing for quick operation; moderate blockages are treated by using chemical action to soften and decompose scale, followed by physical removal, which increases the cleaning intensity; severe blockages are treated by activating an enhanced mode, which uses a combination of methods to ensure sufficient cleaning intensity, thereby extending the service life of the pipes.
[0036] Optionally, in this embodiment, the uniformity of drainage U = (number of wetted grids / total number of grids) * 100%, the first threshold is 85%, and the second threshold is 90% of the rated flow rate. The specific judgment process is as follows: The flow sensor continuously monitors the data, and the system calculates short-term average values to eliminate fluctuation interference. If the return water flow rate Q is lower than 70% of the rated flow rate, it is immediately judged as "severe blockage". There is no need to wait for the calculation result of the water uniformity U, and the enhanced cleaning mode is started. This is the highest priority judgment condition.
[0037] To avoid the chicken house temperature from dropping too low during the cleaning process, one feasible solution is to check the ambient temperature before performing high-pressure physical rinsing. If the ambient temperature is lower than the set temperature, the wet curtain deflector should be turned off. When using this solution, the moisture content of the wet curtain paper increases during the cleaning process, and the wet curtain deflector should be turned off to avoid excessive cooling.
[0038] Reference Figure 5 This solution does not exclusively limit the specific steps of high-pressure physical flushing. One feasible solution is as follows: the high-pressure physical flushing includes: S311, The control drive mechanism drives the unblocking hose to reciprocate within the spray pipe; S312, Control the high-pressure washer to supply water to the nozzle at a pressure of 10-15 atmospheres.
[0039] When this solution is adopted, the drive mechanism simulates manual dragging action, but performs scraping and rinsing of the inner wall of the pipe without dead angles, resulting in more thorough cleaning; the pressure is controlled at 10-15 atmospheres, which is sufficient to remove most of the blockages, while avoiding damage to the spray pipe due to excessive pressure, thus protecting the safety of the equipment.
[0040] Reference Figure 6 The addition of chemical cleaning agent to the circulating water includes: S321. Control the metering pump to draw a predetermined dose of acidifier or algaecide from the storage tank; S322. Chemical cleaning agent is added to the circulating water of the wet curtain through the delivery pipeline.
[0041] When using this solution, the dosage of the chemical can be precisely controlled by using a metering pump and a storage tank. This ensures the cleaning effect while avoiding the corrosion and pollution to equipment and water quality that may be caused by waste or excessive dosage of the chemical. This makes the chemical cleaning process more scientific, environmentally friendly and controllable.
[0042] Preferably, in order to facilitate the prediction of the congestion level, one feasible approach is to record several risk factors over a long period of time and predict the congestion level based on multiple risk factors. When this approach is adopted, not only can the current congestion be dealt with, but also the future congestion can be predicted and cleaning can be arranged in advance.
[0043] This approach does not exclusively limit the specific steps for predicting congestion levels; one feasible approach is as follows: A comprehensive risk score R is calculated from several risk factors, and a first-level threshold and a second-level threshold are established, wherein the first-level threshold is less than the second-level threshold. If R ≤ the first-level threshold, the predicted state is normal and no action is required. If the first-level threshold < R < the second-level threshold, then a blockage is predicted in the near future, and it is recommended to prepare for cleaning. If R ≥ Level 2 threshold, a severe blockage is predicted to occur, and cleaning should be arranged immediately.
[0044] This solution does not exclusively limit the specific formula for calculating the comprehensive risk score R. In this embodiment, the risk score R is calculated using the following formula: ; in, n The number of risk factors, w i This represents the impact coefficient of the corresponding risk factor.
[0045] Optionally, in this embodiment,n The risk factors are 5, including air dust concentration, water hardness, duration of uncleaning, daily average operation of the wet curtain, and historical blockage frequency. By comprehensively judging the blockage level through the above multiple risk factors, the predicted structure can be more accurate.
[0046] Optionally, during the initial prediction, the following table is used to preset the impact coefficient for each risk factor, and the corresponding impact coefficient is dynamically adjusted according to the subsequent actual cleaning process.
[0047] ; For example, if the air dust concentration is 50 μg / m³, the water hardness is 200 mg / L, the average daily operating time of the evaporative cooling pad is 12 hours, and the pad clogs once every 30 days, the current monitoring data is as follows: PM10 = 120 μg / m³ Water hardness = 250 mg / L It has been 20 days since the last thorough cleaning. Average daily runtime = 16 hours. Number of congestion incidents in the past 30 days = 2.
[0048] but ; When this approach is adopted, a machine learning-based prediction model algorithm is formed, which can autonomously adjust itself according to changes in various risk factors, demonstrating the intelligence of prediction.
[0049] Example 2: Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 A cleaning device for wet curtain spray pipes in chicken coops, comprising: The data acquisition module is used to acquire monitoring data reflecting the blockage status of the wet curtain spray pipe 100 in real time. A valve 110 is installed at the end of the wet curtain spray pipe 100. The processing module is communicatively connected to the data acquisition module and is used to receive and analyze the monitoring data, and output corresponding cleaning instructions according to the preset blockage determination algorithm. The cleaning module 200 is communicatively connected to the processing module and is used to receive the cleaning instructions and execute the corresponding cleaning operations.
[0050] When this solution is adopted, by integrating data acquisition, processing and cleaning modules, a complete automated cleaning device is formed, which greatly improves the reliability, consistency and efficiency of cleaning operations and provides a hardware foundation for the practical application of the method.
[0051] This solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the cleaning module; one feasible solution is that the cleaning module includes: High-pressure flushing unit is used to physically flush the inside of the spray pipe; The chemical cleaning unit is used to add chemical cleaning agents to the circulating water of the wet curtain.
[0052] To facilitate the movement of the nozzles, one feasible solution is as follows: the high-pressure flushing unit includes a hose 210 and a nozzle 220 mounted on the hose. The hose is connected to two drive wheels 240 driven by a motor housing 230. The nozzle is equipped with at least one forward-facing nozzle and several rearward-facing nozzles. With this solution, the drive wheels 240 driven by the motor housing 230 enable the automatic movement and retraction of the hose 210. The rear nozzles generate forward propulsion and clean the pipe behind the nozzles, while the front nozzles directly impact the blockages in front, thereby efficiently and thoroughly flushing the entire pipe.
[0053] The working principle of this embodiment: The data acquisition module collects images of the drain water and return water flow on the surface of the wet curtain. The processing module then determines the level of blockage and executes the corresponding cleaning operation. When performing high-pressure physical flushing, the valves 110 on the drain pipe 410 and the inlet pipe 420 are closed, and the valve 110 at the end of the wet curtain spray pipe 100 is opened. The nozzle 220 is inserted into the wet curtain spray pipe 100, and the high-pressure cleaner is controlled to deliver cleaning fluid to the hose 210. The automatic movement and retrieval of the hose 210 are achieved through the drive wheel 240 driven by the motor box 230. When there is moderate or severe blockage, the valve on the inlet pipe 410 is opened to deliver the acidifier or algae remover to the water tank 400 below the wet curtain paper 300 and participate in the circulation. After the chemical cleaning or high-pressure physical flushing is completed, the valve 110 on the drain pipe 420 is opened to discharge the waste liquid.
[0054] To address the issues of easily damaged equipment and low efficiency, this solution utilizes continuous monitoring and severity assessment to move away from the traditional, fixed-cycle or experience-based cleaning approach. It shifts from a "passive treatment" to a "proactive prevention" approach, enabling timely responses to varying degrees of blockage. This avoids resource waste from over-cleaning and reduced cooling effects from insufficient cleaning. While ensuring optimal cleaning results, it improves cleaning efficiency, conserves water and chemical usage, and reduces equipment wear, thus resolving the problems of easily damaged equipment and low efficiency.
[0055] To facilitate the determination of blockage levels, this solution uses preset first and second thresholds to enable the automated system to execute the judgment process accurately and unambiguously, reducing the subjectivity of human intervention and providing a reliable decision-making basis for subsequent execution of different cleaning operations.
[0056] To facilitate the implementation of the cleaning method, this solution integrates data acquisition, processing, and cleaning modules to form a complete automated cleaning device, which greatly improves the reliability, consistency, and efficiency of cleaning operations and provides a hardware foundation for the practical application of the method.
