Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of sheep shed technology, and in particular to a sheep shed with a constant temperature function. Background Technology
[0002] A sheep pen is a dedicated living area for sheep. Sheep pens are typically built in well-ventilated, elevated locations to house the flock, promoting healthy growth and development while providing excellent protection. Maintaining a suitable temperature is crucial for the healthy growth of newborn lambs; therefore, sheep pens with temperature-controlled features are essential for their upbringing.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN223094447U, which discloses a sheep pen with a constant temperature function. The pen includes a fixed frame at the center of the top with a heat lamp installed on the bottom side. The top opening of the pen is symmetrically hinged to movable panels on both sides of the fixed frame. Each movable panel is connected to a side panel via a folding rod assembly. An insulating tarpaulin is connected between the side panel and the fixed frame. When the side panel contacts the outer side wall of the pen and the folding rod assembly is extended, the side panel and the fixed frame are separated, pressing the insulating tarpaulin against the top opening of the pen.
[0004] Based on the above research and combined with the real-world problems, it was found that the device only seals the sheep pen with an insulating tarpaulin. Since the insulating tarpaulin material cannot completely achieve the heat insulation effect, it is difficult to ensure that the air inside the sheep pen remains at a constant temperature for a long time. Moreover, the temperature fluctuation inside the sheep pen is large, which reduces the comfort of the lambs and is not conducive to their rapid growth. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] This invention provides an improved sheep shed with a constant temperature function. The technical solution of this invention is as follows: like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a sheep pen with a constant temperature function, including a sheep pen 1. A rotatable door 3 is rotatably mounted on one side of the sheep pen 1. An air conditioning system is mounted on the upper side of the sheep pen 1 via a horizontal plate 2. The air conditioning system includes a compressor 101, an evaporator 105, and a condenser 106 mounted on the upper side of the horizontal plate 2. An evaporator 103 and a condenser 104 are respectively mounted inside the evaporator 105 and the condenser 106. One end of the evaporator 103 and the condenser 104 are connected via a capillary tube 102, and the other end of the evaporator 103 and the condenser 104 are respectively connected to the input of the compressor 101. The end and output end are connected; it also includes an exhaust device for discharging air from the evaporator 105 and the condenser 106 respectively: the exhaust device includes a cylindrical shell 201 fixed to the inside of the sheep pen 1 by a horizontal plate 24, a reversing column 204 is rotatably connected to the inside of the cylindrical shell 201, a flow channel 205 is opened inside the reversing column 204, a cold air inlet pipe 202 and a hot air inlet pipe 203 are inserted into the upper side of the cylindrical shell 201, the other end of the cold air inlet pipe 202 and the hot air inlet pipe 203 are respectively connected to the inside of the flow channel 205 and the hot air outlet 206, and also includes a drive mechanism for driving the reversing column 204 to rotate.
[0023] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a drive shaft 301 fixed to one end of the reversing column 204 and extending to the outside of the cylindrical shell 201, a rack 302 slidably disposed on one side of the horizontal plate 2 4, and an electric telescopic rod 304 installed on one side of the horizontal plate 2 4. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 304 is fixedly connected to one end of the rack 302. A gear 303 that meshes with the rack 302 is fixed to one end of the outer side of the drive shaft 301. A guide bar 305 is fixed on one side of the horizontal plate 2 4 at the position of the rack 302. A guide groove that can slide and adapt to the guide bar 305 is opened on one side of the rack 302. The drive mechanism also includes a controller 5 and a temperature sensor 6 installed on one side of the horizontal plate 2 4. The temperature sensor 6 and the controller 5 are electrically connected. The electric telescopic rod 304 is electrically connected to the controller 5. Temperature sensor 6 can detect the air temperature inside sheep pen 1 and transmit the data to controller 5. Controller 5 can control the electric telescopic rod 304 in the drive mechanism to extend or retract, thereby driving rack 302 to move back and forth. Rack 302 drives gear 303 to rotate forward and backward, thereby driving reversing column 204 in exhaust device to rotate forward and backward, realizing the function of separately exhausting hot and cold air.
[0024] Furthermore, a hot air outlet 206 is provided on the lower side of the cylindrical shell 201 below the cold air inlet pipe 202, and a cold air outlet 207 is provided on the lower side of the cylindrical shell 201 below the hot air inlet pipe 203. The cold air inside the evaporator 105 can flow into the inner side of the flow channel 205 through the cold air inlet pipe 202, and then be discharged into the inner side of the sheep pen 1 through the cold air outlet 207, thereby cooling the inner side of the sheep pen 1. The hot air inside the condenser 106 can flow into the inner side of the flow channel 205 through the hot air inlet pipe 203, and then be discharged into the inner side of the sheep pen 1 through the hot air outlet 206, thereby heating the inner side of the sheep pen 1.
[0025] Furthermore, both the evaporator 105 and the condenser 106 are provided with a gas collection shell 108 on their outer sides, and a booster fan 109 is installed on the inner side of both gas collection shells 108. The other ends of the cold air inlet pipe 202 and the hot air inlet pipe 203 are connected to the inner side of the evaporator 105 and the condenser 106 respectively through the gas collection shell 108. Both booster fans 109 are electrically connected to the controller 5. The booster fan 109 can increase the air pressure inside the air collection shell 108, and can more quickly squeeze the hot and cold air inside the evaporator 105 or condenser 106 into the inside of the cold air inlet pipe 202 or the hot air inlet pipe 203, thereby improving the temperature regulation efficiency.
[0026] Furthermore, air inlet pipes 107 are inserted into the upper side of both the evaporator 105 and the condenser 106, and one-way valves are installed on the inner side of both air inlet pipes 107. When the hot and cold air inside the evaporator 105 or condenser 106 is discharged, a negative pressure is formed inside the evaporator 105 and condenser 106. Outside air is then drawn into the evaporator 105 and condenser 106 through the one-way valves in the two air inlet pipes 107. The air then comes into contact with the evaporator 103 and condenser 104 respectively to exchange heat, thereby allowing the evaporator 105 and condenser 106 to store hot and cold air again.
[0027] Furthermore, two louvered isolation mechanisms are provided at both ends of the upper side of the sheep pen 1. The louvered isolation mechanism includes multiple rotating shafts 401 that are rotatably connected to the inside of the sheep pen 1 and a motor 403 installed on the outside of the sheep pen 1. The drive end of the motor 403 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the rotating shafts 401. Isolation flaps 402 are fixed on the outside of the multiple rotating shafts 401. A fixing rod 404 is fixed on one end of each rotating shaft 401. A linkage rod 405 is rotatably connected between the multiple fixing rods 404. The present invention uses two louvered isolation mechanisms to control the synchronous rotation of multiple isolation flaps 402. After the multiple isolation flaps 402 are controlled to rotate to a horizontal angle at the same time, the multiple isolation flaps 402 can isolate the inside of the sheep pen 1 from the outside, reduce the loss of hot or cold air inside the sheep pen 1, thereby further prolonging the constant temperature duration inside the sheep pen 1 and improving the constant temperature effect.
[0028] Working principle: When in use, open the switch door 3 and drive the sheep into the inside of the sheep pen 1. The temperature sensor 6 can detect the air temperature inside the sheep pen 1 in real time and transmit the temperature data to the controller 5. The controller 5 can set the upper and lower limits of the air temperature. When the air temperature inside the sheep pen 1 is higher than the set temperature, the inside of the sheep pen 1 needs to be cooled down. Conversely, the inside of the sheep pen 1 needs to be heated up. The compressor 101 of the air conditioning system remains running, and the refrigerant circulates inside the evaporator 103 and condenser 104, continuously transferring heat from the air inside the evaporator 105 to the air inside the condenser 106. This keeps the air temperature inside the evaporator 105 lower than the ambient temperature and the air temperature inside the condenser 106 higher than the ambient temperature. When the temperature inside the sheep pen 1 becomes too high, the controller 5 sends a command to the electric telescopic rod 304 of the drive mechanism, causing the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 304 to retract, which in turn moves the rack 302 to the right. Figure 6 As shown, when the rack 302 moves, it drives the gear 303 to rotate clockwise by a certain angle through tooth meshing. The gear 303 drives the reversing column 204 of the exhaust device to rotate synchronously by a certain angle through the transmission shaft 301 until one end of the flow channel 205 inside the reversing column 204 is aligned with the cold air inlet pipe 202, and the other end of the flow channel 205 is aligned with the cold air outlet 207. At this time, the cold air inside the evaporator 105 can flow into the inside of the flow channel 205 through the cold air inlet pipe 202, and then be discharged to the inside of the sheep pen 1 through the cold air outlet 207, thereby cooling the inside of the sheep pen 1. Conversely, when the temperature inside sheep pen 1 is too low, controller 5 sends a command to the electric telescopic rod 304 of the drive mechanism, causing the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 304 to extend, driving rack 302 to move to the left, such as... Figure 6 As shown, when the rack 302 moves, it drives the gear 303 to rotate counterclockwise by a certain angle through tooth meshing. The gear 303 drives the reversing column 204 of the exhaust device to rotate synchronously by a certain angle through the transmission shaft 301 until one end of the flow channel 205 inside the reversing column 204 is aligned with the hot air inlet pipe 203, and the other end of the flow channel 205 is aligned with the hot air outlet 206. At this time, the hot air inside the condenser box 106 can flow into the inside of the flow channel 205 through the hot air inlet pipe 203, and then be discharged to the inside of the sheep pen 1 through the hot air outlet 206, thereby raising the temperature inside the sheep pen 1. By continuously discharging hot and cold air into the inside of the sheep pen 1, the air inside the sheep pen 1 can maintain a constant temperature, greatly reducing the temperature fluctuation range inside the sheep pen 1 and improving temperature comfort. To accelerate the temperature regulation inside sheep pen 1 and quickly reach the designated temperature, the controller 5 retracts the electric telescopic rod 304 and simultaneously operates the booster fan 109 located on one side of the evaporator 105. This compresses the cold air inside the evaporator 105 into the air collecting shell 108, increasing the pressure of the cold air inside the air collecting shell 108 and accelerating the flow rate of the cold air inside the cold air inlet pipe 202, allowing the cold air to be discharged more quickly into the sheep pen 1. Conversely, when the controller 5 extends the electric telescopic rod 304, it also operates the booster fan 109 located on one side of the condenser 106, compressing the cold air inside the condenser 105 into the air collecting shell 108. The hot air inside the 06 is compressed towards the inside of the gas collecting shell 108, thereby increasing the pressure of the hot air inside the gas collecting shell 108, which in turn accelerates the flow rate of the hot air inside the hot air inlet pipe 203, allowing the hot air to be discharged more quickly to the inside of the sheep pen 1. After the hot and cold air inside the evaporator 105 or the condenser 106 is discharged, a negative pressure is formed inside the evaporator 105 and the condenser 106. Outside air is then drawn into the evaporator 105 and the condenser 106 through the one-way valves in the two air inlet pipes 107, respectively. The air comes into contact with the evaporator 103 and the condenser 104 to exchange heat, thereby allowing the evaporator 105 and the condenser 106 to store hot and cold air again. To improve the insulation effect and prolong the duration of constant temperature inside sheep pen 1, the motor 403 of the louvered isolation mechanism can be controlled to drive one of the rotating shafts 401 to rotate. This rotating shaft 401 drives a fixed rod 404 at one end to rotate. This fixed rod 404 applies a thrust to the linkage rod 405. Since the linkage rod 405 is rotatably connected to multiple fixed rods 404 at the same time, it can drive several other fixed rods 404 to rotate by the same angle, which in turn drives several other rotating shafts 401 to rotate by the same angle. The multiple rotating shafts 401 drive several isolation flaps 402 to rotate by the same angle. When the multiple isolation flaps 402 rotate to a horizontal position, the inside of sheep pen 1 can be isolated, which can play a role in insulation and thus prolong the duration of constant temperature inside sheep pen 1.
