Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of poultry farming equipment technology, and in particular to an anti-deviation and correction device for an automatic manure removal conveyor belt for chicken cages. Background Technology

[0002] In modern poultry farming, automatic manure removal systems for chicken cages are one of the essential pieces of equipment in large-scale farms. Conveyor belt manure removal devices are widely used for the automatic cleaning of manure from chicken cages due to their high efficiency, low labor intensity, and stable operation. However, in actual operation, factors such as the conveyor belt bearing manure loads for extended periods, installation errors, roller parallelism deviations, and uneven tension within the conveyor belt itself can easily cause it to deviate from its designated path during operation.

[0003] Conveyor belt misalignment can range from minor issues like spilled manure and incomplete cleaning to more serious problems like edge wear, tearing, and even jamming with the frame, causing equipment downtime and disrupting normal farm operations. Currently, existing technologies primarily rely on regular manual inspections and adjustments to the tension screw to address conveyor belt misalignment. However, this approach has several drawbacks: first, manual adjustments depend on experience, resulting in low precision and difficulty in real-time correction; second, adjustments require machine downtime, impacting cleaning efficiency; third, for long-distance conveyor belts, manual inspections are labor-intensive and may not promptly detect misalignment; and fourth, existing correction devices are complex, costly, and unsuitable for the specific conditions of cleaning chicken cages.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can automatically detect and correct conveyor belt deviation in real time to solve the problems existing in the current technology. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the correction roller is provided with a spiral guide groove, and the spiral direction of the spiral guide groove is matched with the running direction of the conveyor belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the correction mechanism also includes a reset spring, one end of which is connected to the guide slider and the other end of which is connected to the correction bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, the frame is also provided with a tensioning mechanism, which includes a tensioning bracket, a tensioning screw, a tensioning slider, and a tensioning spring; the tensioning bracket is fixedly mounted on the frame, the tensioning screw passes through the tensioning bracket, the tensioning slider is threadedly engaged with the tensioning screw, the tensioning spring is sleeved on the tensioning screw, and both ends of the driven roller are connected to the tensioning slider.

The correction bracket 51 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, the guide rail 56 is mounted on the correction bracket 51, the guide slider 55 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 56, one end of the correction roller 52 is connected to the guide slider 55, the adjusting screw 53 passes through the correction bracket 51 and cooperates with the adjusting nut 54, one end of the connecting rod 57 is hinged to the guide slider 55, and the other end is hinged to the piston rod of the drive cylinder 58. The outer circumferential surface of the correction roller 52 is provided with a spiral guide groove 521, the spiral direction of which is consistent with the running direction of the conveyor belt 4. The correction mechanism 5 also includes a return spring 59, one end of which is connected to the guide slider 55, and the other end is connected to the correction bracket 51.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the detection mechanism 6 includes an infrared sensor 61, a sensor bracket 62, and a reflector 63. The sensor bracket 62 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, the infrared sensor 61 is mounted on the sensor bracket 62, and the reflector 63 is located below the edge of the conveyor belt 4 and corresponds to and cooperates with the infrared sensor 61.

[0029] The control mechanism 7 includes a controller 71 and an alarm 72. The controller 71 is electrically connected to the infrared sensor 61 and the drive cylinder 58, respectively, and the alarm 72 is electrically connected to the controller 71. The controller 71 is a PLC controller, the infrared sensor 61 is a through-beam infrared sensor, and the drive cylinder 58 is a double-acting cylinder.

[0030] The frame 1 is also equipped with a tensioning mechanism 8, which includes a tensioning bracket 81, a tensioning screw 82, a tensioning slider 83, and a tensioning spring 84. The tensioning bracket 81 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, the tensioning screw 82 passes through the tensioning bracket 81, the tensioning slider 83 is threadedly engaged with the tensioning screw 82, the tensioning spring 84 is sleeved on the tensioning screw 82, and both ends of the driven roller 3 are connected to the tensioning slider 83.

[0031] Anti-deviation protrusions 41 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 4, and the anti-deviation protrusions 41 extend longitudinally along the conveyor belt 4. A manure cleaning scraper 9 and a manure collection trough 10 are also provided at the bottom of the frame 1.

[0034] Working principle During operation, when conveyor belt 4 deviates from its normal position, infrared sensor 61 detects this change and transmits a signal to controller 71. Controller 71 then activates the corresponding drive cylinder 58. Drive cylinder 58, via connecting rod 57, pushes guide slider 55 along guide rail 56. Guide slider 55 causes correction roller 52 to deflect. Upon contact with conveyor belt 4, correction roller 52 exerts a lateral thrust, causing conveyor belt 4 to return to its center position. Once conveyor belt 4 returns to its normal position, infrared sensor 61 returns to its normal signal, and controller 71 resets drive cylinder 58. Return spring 59 assists guide slider 55 in resetting. If conveyor belt 4 fails to return to center after correction mechanism 5 has activated, controller 71 activates alarm 72 to alert operator to check. Example

[0035] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the surface of the guiding roller 52 is provided with herringbone-shaped guide patterns, and the opening direction of the herringbone-shaped guide patterns is opposite to the running direction of the conveyor belt 4. The rest of the structure and working principle are the same as in Embodiment 1. Example

[0036] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the control mechanism 7 also includes a touch screen, which is electrically connected to the controller 71 and is used to display the deviation status of the conveyor belt 4 and the number of times the correction mechanism 5 operates. The remaining structure and working principle are the same as in Embodiment 1.
