Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of livestock breeding, in particular to an intelligent spraying box and an intelligent spraying system. Background Technique

[0002] In centralized ranch breeding, cow shed spraying is the most important summer heatstroke prevention and cooling device set for dairy cows in various types of ranches. The spraying pipeline is installed above the feeding neck shackles in the cow shed. Sprayers with evenly distributed intervals are installed on the spraying pipeline. A solenoid valve is arranged on the pipeline at the water inlet end of the cow shed spraying pipeline. After the spraying season starts, the solenoid valve is controlled by setting a spraying controller for each shed to realize the periodic start and stop of cow shed spraying. The spraying water will hit the dairy cows, and with ventilation, evaporation heat dissipation is realized, thereby realizing summer heatstroke prevention and cooling for dairy cows.

[0003] The biggest drawback of the current ordinary spraying is that as long as the solenoid valve at the water inlet end is opened, all the sprayers on the pipeline will spray water droplets outward regardless of whether there are dairy cows at the position of the sprayers. This form will cause a large amount of waste of spraying water, and these spraying waters will eventually enter the manure treatment system of the ranch together with the cow dung, greatly increasing the manure treatment cost of the ranch. With the popularization of the national energy conservation and emission reduction policy, more and more ranches are suffering from the dilemma of high sewage treatment costs and water resource waste. For this reason, we propose an intelligent spraying box. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the existing defects, provide an intelligent spraying box and an intelligent spraying system, which can realize precise spraying, greatly reduce the waste of spraying water and the generation of manure, and further reduce the manure treatment cost of the ranch, which is beneficial to energy conservation and environmental protection, and can effectively solve the problems in the background technique.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: an intelligent spraying box, including an outer shell body and a sensor assembly for detecting cattle sealed and installed in the outer shell body. A fixing frame is fixedly arranged at the lower part outside the outer shell body. A spraying pipeline is installed on the fixing frame. The side surface of the spraying pipeline is connected with a water inlet hose through a pipe coupling. The water inlet hose is connected with a sprayer. The sprayer penetrates through the side surface of the inclined plate on the outer shell body, and the sprayer is arranged to incline upwards. A solenoid valve is installed on the water inlet hose.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] See also Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a technical solution: an intelligent spray box, comprising an outer shell 3 and a sensor assembly 1 for detecting cattle, which is sealed and installed in the outer shell 3. A fixing frame 2 is fixedly arranged on the lower outer side of the outer shell 3, and a spray pipe 8 is installed on the fixing frame 2. The side surface of the spray pipe 8 is connected with a water inlet hose 6 through a thread 7. The water inlet hose 6 is connected to a nozzle 5. The nozzle 5 passes through the side surface of the inclined plate on the outer shell 3. A solenoid valve 9 is installed on the water inlet hose 6. The switch of the nozzle 5 is controlled by the solenoid valve 9. The sensor assembly 1 detects whether the cattle are approaching. When no cattle are approaching the feeding neck yoke, the solenoid valve 9 is in a closed state. When a cattle is approaching the feeding neck yoke, the sensor assembly 1 is triggered to energize the solenoid valve 9, and the nozzle 5 is opened to spray and cool the cattle, which can effectively reduce the waste of spray water.

[0021] Preferably, the nozzle 5 is arranged to be tilted upward, so that the sprayed water will not be sprayed directly on the body of the cow, avoiding scaring and irritating it.

[0022] A preferred technical solution, the sensor assembly 1 includes an infrared sensing switch and an infrared thermometer, the detection ends of the infrared sensing switch and the infrared thermometer are both arranged on the lower side, and corresponding through holes are opened on the outer shell 3 corresponding to the detection ends of the infrared sensing switch and the infrared thermometer; the sensor assembly 1 also includes a controller 12, the controller 12 is preferably a commonly used PLC controller or microprocessor, such as a Siemens S7-300 series PLC controller, the controller 12 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 9, the infrared sensing switch and the infrared thermometer, respectively, and the controller 12 is electrically connected to the external power supply 15, and is powered by the external power supply 15.

[0023] The core of the smart spray box is the sensor component 1, whose built-in infrared sensor switch can sense the approach of cows. When sensing the approach of cows, it sends a corresponding signal to the controller 12, which energizes the solenoid valve 9 and opens the nozzle 5. When the cow arrives near a smart spray box (within 0.5m), the nozzle 5 is automatically opened, thereby achieving precise spraying, greatly reducing the waste of spray water and the generation of manure. According to experimental data, after the smart spray system composed of smart spray boxes is used to spray and cool the cowshed, the water saving rate reaches 60%, which greatly reduces the waste of spray water and the cost of pasture manure treatment, and is beneficial to energy saving and environmental protection.

[0024] The infrared thermometer is used to detect the body surface temperature of the cattle and transmit the corresponding signal to the controller 12. When the body surface temperature of the cattle near the intelligent spray box is high (≥39.5℃) or normal (37.2-39.3℃), the controller 12 automatically opens the solenoid valve 9 and sprays it through the nozzle 5 according to the preset program; when the body surface temperature of the cattle is detected to be low (≤37.0℃) after the cattle has just been cooled down by spraying, the controller 12 does not open the solenoid valve 9 according to the preset program to avoid continuous spraying to cool the cattle and affecting its body.

[0025] Depending on the type and age of the cattle, different temperature values ​​are set as the judgment values ​​for whether the controller 12 opens the electromagnetic valve 9.
