Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a floor cleaning device, and in particular to a floor cleaning device suitable for raising livestock. Background Art

[0002] As living conditions improve, people's demand for meat, eggs, milk, wool, and hides is increasing, necessitating large-scale livestock farming. Cleaning manure from the floor is a crucial task in large-scale farming. Failure to promptly clean manure can lead to bacterial growth, which in turn affects the health of the livestock and the surrounding environment. Therefore, mechanized equipment is required to clean the floor of livestock pens in large-scale farming.

[0003] In the prior art, a chain-type manure scraper is equipped with a traction drive device in the middle. The starting device drives the chain to drive the scraper. When the scraper is pulled by the chain, the side panels on both sides will open and contact the edge of the cow bed and the feed retaining wall, pushing the manure into the manure ditch or manure pit. When running in the opposite direction, the main manure duct manure scraper will be in an unloaded state, the swing blades will fold inward, and the main scraper will tilt in the opposite direction. The disadvantage of this method is that the chain pulls the manure scraper and the sliding friction with the ground causes severe wear on the base and shortens its service life. In addition, most of the existing side panels of this type of manure scraper are fixed, and when the width of the manure trough changes, the side panels need to be re-welded.

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, Chinese utility model patent No. 202123116864.4 discloses a chain-driven manure scraper with adjustable wings to accommodate manure troughs of varying widths. Rollers are also installed on the base to reduce friction. However, the scraper has a fixed inclination angle, and after wear, the cleaning effect is significantly reduced, necessitating replacement. Furthermore, the ground typically has undulations, and the fixed scraper angle prevents the bottom surface of the scraper from maintaining constant contact with the ground, preventing complete cleaning of manure on undulating surfaces. Furthermore, it still uses a chain traction method, requiring a base to prevent friction between the chain and the ground. However, the rollers are flush with the bottom surface of the base, which still causes friction between the base and the ground. Furthermore, the wings are adjusted using a worm and toothed groove. When the wings are subjected to force, the toothed grooves rotate in opposite directions. While this allows the worm to be positioned, it still causes the wings to wobble slightly from side to side, affecting the loose contact between the wings and the sidewalls, resulting in incomplete cleaning at the angle between the sidewalls and the ground.

[0005] Therefore, in order to improve the cleaning effect of the manure pit, it is necessary to design a ground cleaning device suitable for livestock, which has a wing plate that is difficult to shake, can adjust the scraper height according to the degree of wear, and extend the service life of the scraper. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a ground cleaning device suitable for raising livestock, which has good cleaning effect and extends the service life of the scraper.

[0011] A limiting device extending from the front is fixedly connected to the outer ends of the first large arm and the second large arm. A limiting hole is provided on the extending portion, and a limiting rod is inserted into the limiting hole. The limiting rod is located on the inner side of the first small arm and the second small arm.

[0012] The bottoms of the first small arm and the second small arm are connected with scraping strips, and the front parts of the scraping strips are connected with inwardly bent parts.

[0016] Due to the implementation of the above technical solution, the present application provides a support plate for supporting the rotating part of the scraper, and opens a number of adjustment holes from top to bottom on the support plate to meet the need for position adjustment when the dragging and scraping part is worn and not in close contact with the ground, thereby extending the overall service life of the scraper. By limiting the maximum opening angle of the hinged upper arm and lower arm through a pull wire, and limiting the inward flipping of the lower arm through a limit rod, the opening angle of the lower arm can be quickly adjusted to meet the need for close contact between the front end of the lower arm and the side wall. Then, by providing a scraping bar at the bottom of the lower arm and a curved portion at the front of the scraping bar that bends inward, feces at the angle between the ground and the side wall can be thoroughly cleaned. The present application forms contact between the scraping part and the ground through the deadweight of the scraper. The scraper can automatically change its angle according to the undulations of the ground and always maintain contact with the ground, thereby cleaning the ground with a good cleaning effect.

The driving device 2 can adopt a motor, and the power output shaft of the motor is linked with the rotating shaft of the walking wheel 1. The control box 3 includes a control circuit and a power supply. The power supply is used to supply power to the motor and the control circuit. The control circuit controls whether the motor is started or not. The driving device 2 and the control circuit are existing technologies. The detailed structure and circuit are not the invention points of this application and are not described in detail here.

[0026] Furthermore, a column 21 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the upper end surface of the base 9, and a bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the rear end surface of the base 9. The upper part of the bracket 4 is bent forward and located above the base 9, and is connected to the top of the column 21. An assembly space is formed between the bracket 4 and the base 9 on both sides of the column 21. The inner ends of the first arm 5 and the second arm 13, that is, the right end of the first arm 5, and the left end of the second arm 13 extend into the assembly space and are connected to the base 9.

[0027] Furthermore, the first arm 5 and the second arm 13 can be fixedly connected to the base 9 or rotatably connected to the base 9. The fixed connection method can be welding or bolting, which is an existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The rotatable connection method can be that vertical fixed shafts are provided on both sides of the base 9, and corresponding shaft holes are provided at the inner ends of the first arm 5 and the second arm 13. The first arm 5 and the second arm 13 are respectively plugged into the two fixed shafts through the shaft holes to form a rotating structure. Several positioning holes are provided on the upper end faces of the first arm 5 and the second arm 13, and several limiting holes matching the positioning holes are provided on the upper end face of the bracket 4. After determining that the opening angles of the first arm 5 and the second arm 13 are consistent, the positioning holes and the limiting holes are aligned, and the positioning pins are inserted for positioning, so that the first arm 5 and the second arm 13 can be positioned. Other rotatable connection methods in the prior art that are suitable for this application can also be used.

[0028] Further, such as Figure 1 、 2 As shown in , 4, the first arm 5 and the second arm 13 are long strips, and a rotating shaft 27 is provided at the outer ends of the first arm 5 and the second arm 13, that is, the left end of the first arm 5 and the right end of the second arm 13, and a shaft sleeve matching the rotating shaft 27 is provided at the inner ends of the first small arm 6 and the second small arm 12, that is, the rear ends of the first small arm 6 and the second small arm 12. The first small arm 6 and the second small arm 12 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 27 through the shaft sleeve.

[0029] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, a first pull ring 22 and a second pull ring 24 are provided on the first upper arm 5 and the first lower arm 6, respectively, with a pull wire 23 connected between the two pull rings. A first pull ring 22 and a second pull ring 24 are provided on the second upper arm 13 and the second lower arm 12, respectively, with a pull wire 23 connected between the two pull rings. The pull wire 23 can be a chain or other connecting wire.

[0030] Furthermore, a limit device 11 extending from the front is fixedly connected to the outer ends of the first upper arm 5 and the second upper arm 13. The extending portion has a limit hole 25, and a limit rod 26 is inserted into the limit hole 25. The limit rod is located on the inner side of the first small arm 6 and the second small arm 12. The limit hole 25 is long or arc-shaped and is opened from the side of the first small arm 6 to the side of the second small arm 12.

[0031] The maximum opening angle of the first forearm 6 and the second forearm 12 is limited by adjusting the length of the pull wire 23, and the minimum opening angle is limited by adjusting the different positions of the limiting rod 26 in the limiting hole 25. The limiting rod 26 is a threaded rod, and positioning nuts are screwed on the rod body located on the upper and lower sides of the limiting hole 25. The limiting rod 26 can be fixed at any position of the limiting hole 25. The lower part of the limiting rod 26 contacts the inner side of the first forearm 6 and the second forearm 12, thereby preventing the first forearm 6 and the second forearm 12 from flipping inward.

[0032] Further, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a scraper bar 14 is connected to the bottom of the first arm 6 and the second arm 12, and an inwardly curved portion 15 is connected to the front of the scraper bar 14. The curved portion 15 cleans the feces near the corner once, pushing most of the feces away from the corner, and then the scraper bar 14 follows to clean the feces close to the corner for a second time.

[0033] Further, such as Figure 1 、 2 As shown, rotatable rollers 7 are installed at the outer ends of the first small arm 6 and the second small arm 12, and the rollers 7 are in rolling contact with the walls on both sides of the ground.

[0034] like Figure 1 、 3 As shown, support plates 16 are provided on both sides of the front end surfaces of the first large arm 5 and the second large arm 13, and a plurality of adjustment holes 17 are opened on the support plates 16 from top to bottom.

[0035] The first scraper 8 and the second scraper 10 have the same structure and both include a rotating part 18 located on the upper side. The rotating part 18 is a rotating shaft. A long strip connecting part 19 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating part 18. Both sides of the rotating part 18 are exposed on both sides of the connecting part 19. A scraping part 20 is detachably connected to the lower part of the connecting part 19, and the bottom end of the scraping part 20 is in contact with the ground.

[0036] The ends of the rotating portion 18 are inserted into the adjustment holes 17 on the support plate 16, forming a rotating connection between the first scraper 8 and the second scraper 10 and their corresponding support plate 16. Under the weight of the support plate 16, the upper ends of the first scraper 8 and the second scraper 10 are rotated to the support plate 16, and the lower ends are in contact with the ground.

[0037] In order to further reduce friction, a travel wheel can also be installed on the bottom surface of the base 9. The travel wheel and the travel wheel on the rear side of the base 9, as well as the scraping strip 14 and the bottom surface of the scraping portion 20 are located in the same plane.

[0038] When the present invention is in use, the opening angle of the first arm 6 and the second arm 12 is adjusted according to the width of the ground, with the roller 7 touching the wall as the degree. At this point, the overall width of the present invention is the same as the width of the ground. The first arm 6 and the second arm 12 are then positioned by the pull wire 23 and the limit rod 26. The drive device 2 is activated by the start / stop button on the control box 3. The drive device 2 drives the running wheel 1 to rotate, thereby pushing the base 9 forward. During the movement, the first scraper 8 and the second scraper 10 at the first arm 5 and the second arm 13 clean the feces on the front side, and the scraper strips 14 and the curved portion 15 on the first arm 6 and the second arm 12 clean the feces on both sides, thereby quickly cleaning the ground. The present invention forms contact between the scraping portion and the ground through the weight of the scraper. The scraper can automatically change its angle according to the undulations of the ground to always maintain contact with the ground, thereby cleaning the ground. The scraping portion 20 of the present application is made of hard rubber. When the scraping portion 20 is used for the first time, the rotating portion 18 can be inserted into the adjustment hole 17 located at the top. At this time, the bottom surface of the scraping portion 20 is in contact with the ground. As the number of uses increases, the bottom surface of the scraping portion will be worn. When it is worn to a certain extent, the rotating portion 18 is inserted into the adjustment hole 17 located at the bottom. In this way, the number of uses of the scraping portion 20 can be extended until the scraping portion 20 is worn to be basically flush with the connecting portion 19 and then replaced.

[0039] The above technical features constitute the embodiments of the present application, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be added or removed according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.
