The sliding base 3 is mounted on the slide bar of the suspension bracket 2, and is driven by the left and right moving drive motor to move the position in the left and right horizontal directions. The left and right moving drive motor is mounted on the sliding base 3 and is connected to the control panel; the left limit switch 81 and the right limit switch 82 (left and right limit switches) are respectively arranged on the suspension bracket 2 at both ends of the slide bar, and are connected to the control panel to determine the range of horizontal movement of the sliding base 3. The mechanical arm is mounted on the sliding base 3, and is driven by the mechanical arm drive motor to move the front and back and up and down positions. The mechanical arm drive motor is connected to the control panel. The end of the mechanical arm is provided with a sensor 6 and a water spray head 7. The sensor 6 is used to detect whether there are livestock and poultry in the front direction and whether the temperature exceeds the limit value. The sensor 6 is connected to the control panel; the water spray head 7 is used to spray water to cool down the livestock and poultry, and is connected to the electromagnetic valve through a water pipe (using a silicone hose). The electromagnetic valve is connected to the booster pump, and the electromagnetic valve and the booster pump are installed on the sliding base 3. The booster pump is connected to the valve on the external tap water pipe through a water pipe (using a silicone hose). Among them, the control panel has a timed inspection control function, which can start the water spray cooling work at a fixed time; the booster pump can be pressurized to ensure normal water spray cooling when the tap water pressure is insufficient.
[0029] In a suspended automatic water spray cooling device of the present embodiment, the mechanical arm includes a rotatable bracket 41, an upper arm 42 and a lower arm 43, the mechanical arm drive motor includes a front end bracket drive motor 51, a first motor 52 and a second motor 53, the lower arm 43 is connected to the sliding base 3 through the second motor 53, the upper arm 42 is connected to the lower arm 43 through the first motor 52, the rotatable bracket 41 is connected to the lower arm 43 through the front end bracket drive motor 51, the rotatable bracket 41 is driven by the bracket drive motor to rotate up and down, and the sensor 6 and the water spray head 7 are both arranged at the end of the rotatable bracket 41.
[0030] In a suspended automatic water spray cooling device of this embodiment, the slide rod includes a smooth rod 11 and a screw rod 12 , and the output end of the left-right moving drive motor is provided with a gear matched with the screw rod 12 .
[0031] In this embodiment, the left limit switch 81 and the right limit switch 82 are both touch-type limit switches; the sensor 6 adopts a group of pyroelectric sensors 6 for liveness detection; the solenoid valve adopts a 24V DC normally open solenoid valve, and the booster pump adopts a 24V micro DC booster pump, but it is not limited to this. Those skilled in the art can make corresponding adjustments according to the implementation scenario requirements.
[0032] How it works
[0033] 1) After power-on, the solenoid valve and the boost valve are all in the closed state, the sliding base 3 returns to the middle position of the slide rod, and the mechanical arm shrinks to the initial position. Then the control board starts timing, and when the set time is reached, a patrol inspection and cooling operation begins;
[0034] 2) The patrol water spray cooling action begins. The robotic arm first extends to the preset position on the top layer. Then the front rotatable bracket 41 points to the top position of the preset top chicken house and starts to detect whether there are living things or the temperature exceeds the limit through the sensor 6. If so, the solenoid valve and the boost valve are opened; if not, the solenoid valve and the boost valve are closed. Then the front rotatable bracket 41 moves down one step and repeats this action again until it reaches the bottom position of the preset top chicken house. Then, the sliding base 3 moves one step to the right, and at the same time, the front rotatable bracket 41 points to the top position of the preset top chicken house. Then repeat the above actions until the sliding base 3 reaches the rightmost position of the top chicken house;
[0035] 3) After the inspection of the top chicken coop is completed, the robot arm switches to the predetermined position of the middle layer and repeats the inspection process on the top layer. Since the test sliding base 3 is at the rightmost position of the slide bar, the inspection of the middle layer is carried out from right to left, and the movement direction of the sliding base 3 is from right to left;
[0036] 4) After the inspection of the middle chicken coop is completed, the robot arm switches to the predetermined position of the lowest layer and repeats the above inspection process. Since the test sliding base 3 is at the leftmost position of the slide bar, the inspection of the lowest layer is carried out from left to right, just like the inspection of the highest layer, and the movement direction of the sliding base 3 is from left to right;
[0037] 5) After the inspection and cooling of the bottom chicken house is completed, the sliding base 3 returns to the middle position of the slide rod, the solenoid valve and the boost valve are closed, and then the timing is restarted, and the inspection and cooling operation is performed again after the set timing time is up (the inspection and cooling operation starts from the bottom chicken house and is performed upward layer by layer).
