[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dairy farming technology, and in particular, it is a dairy cow cleaning device for dairy farming. Background Technology

[0002] During dairy farming, cows accumulate dirt on their bodies. If not cleaned promptly, this dirt can breed bacteria, polluting the surrounding environment and affecting the cows' health, thus impacting milk production and quality. Therefore, cleaning equipment is often needed to clean the cows. Traditional methods involve manual brushing or using electric brush rollers. However, electric brush rollers are not easy to adjust in terms of direction, making it difficult to clean the cows' backs and bellies. This allows bacteria to grow on the backs and bellies, affecting the cows' physical and mental health.

[0003] For example, there is a Chinese patent application with the number CN219877165U, which describes a dairy cow cleaning device for dairy farming: "It includes a base and a chute, which is disposed at the upper end of the base. There are two chutes. A U-shaped beam is disposed above the base, and both ends of the U-shaped beam extend into the interior of the chute. The U-shaped beam is slidably connected to the base, and an mounting frame is disposed on the inner side of the U-shaped beam."

[0024] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.

[0026] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 The dairy cow cleaning device shown includes a cleaning platform 1. Both sides of the cleaning platform 1 are provided with ramps for assisting movement, so that the dairy cows can move to the surface of the cleaning platform 1. The top surface of the cleaning platform 1 is provided with a steel grating 17, through which the water used to clean the dairy cows is collected. A water spray gun can be installed on one side of the cleaning platform 1 to rinse the dairy cows' bodies.

[0028] The top surface of the cleaning table 1 is symmetrically fixed with upright plates 2. Hydraulic cylinders 3 are provided on opposite sides of the two upright plates 2. The piston rods of the two hydraulic cylinders 3 are respectively fixed with brackets 4. One bracket 4 is U-shaped and the other bracket 4 is inverted U-shaped. One side of the two brackets 4 is provided with a rotating shaft 5 through a through groove. The through groove passes through the bracket 4. Since one of the brackets 4 is inverted, the two through grooves and the rotating shaft 5 are arranged vertically.

[0029] Both rotating shafts 5 are equipped with transmission teeth 6 on their circumferences. Connecting blocks 7 are fixedly installed on the circumferences of the two rotating shafts 5 and on both sides of the transmission teeth 6. The connecting blocks 7 are L-shaped. A fixing box 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the two connecting blocks 7 and on one side of the bracket 4. A stop block 12 for limiting the position of the fixing box 8 is fixedly installed on the opposite side of the two fixing boxes 8. The top and bottom surfaces of the two fixing boxes 8 are respectively equipped with cleaning rollers 9 for cleaning dairy cows. The two cleaning rollers 9 are on the same horizontal plane. By rotating the rotating shaft 5, the rotating shaft 5 can drive the connecting blocks 7 to rotate, and then the connecting blocks 7 can drive the fixing boxes 8 to rotate. Since the connecting blocks 7 are L-shaped, the fixing boxes 8 can drive the cleaning rollers 9 to move from a horizontal vertical state to a vertical state, so that the cleaning rollers 9 can not only clean the cow's waist, but also the cow's back or abdomen. The setting of the stop block 12 can ensure the vertical position of the cleaning rollers 9 and prevent them from shifting.

[0030] Cylinders 10 are fixedly installed on the inner top and bottom walls of the two supports 4 respectively. The piston rods of the two cylinders 10 are fixedly equipped with racks 11 that mesh with the transmission gears 6. When it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the cleaning roller 9, the cylinders 10 are opened, so that the cylinders 10 drive the racks 11 to move longitudinally. Then, the racks 11 drive the rotating shaft 5 to rotate through the meshing transmission gears 6. The rotating shaft 5 can then drive the cleaning roller 9 to rotate through the connecting block 7 and the fixing box 8, thus completing the adjustment of the orientation of the cleaning roller 9.

[0031] Because one of the two supports 4 is inverted, the two cylinders 10, rack 11, transmission gear 6, connecting block 7, and fixing box 8 are all arranged vertically, allowing the two cleaning rollers 9 to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise respectively. This enables the two cleaning rollers 9 to be positioned vertically on the cow's back and abdomen for cleaning, avoiding the situation where bacteria can grow due to the inability to clean the cow's back and abdomen, and reducing the impact on the cow's physical and mental health.

[0032] Rotary motors are fixed to the inner top and bottom walls of the two fixed boxes 8. The output shaft of the rotary motor passes through the fixed box 8 and is connected to the cleaning roller 9, which can drive the cleaning roller 9 to rotate and clean the dairy cow.

[0033] Each of the two upright plates 2 has a vertical groove 13 on one of its opposite sides. A threaded shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the groove 13. A movable block 16 is threaded around the periphery of the threaded shaft 14. A hydraulic cylinder 3 is fixed to one side of the movable block 16. A drive motor 15 is fixed to the top surface of each of the two upright plates 2. The output shaft of the drive motor 15 passes through the upright plate 2 and is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded shaft 14. By turning on the drive motor 15, the drive motor 15 can drive the threaded shaft 14 to rotate, causing the threaded shaft 14 to drive the movable block 16 to move longitudinally, which in turn drives the hydraulic cylinder 3 to move longitudinally, thereby driving the cleaning roller 9 to move longitudinally. This allows the cleaning roller 9, which is in a horizontally vertical state, to press against the back or abdomen of the cow for cleaning. Similarly, the hydraulic cylinder 3 allows the cleaning roller 9, which is in a vertical state, to press against the waist of the cow for cleaning.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] This dairy cow cleaning device moves the cow to the surface of the cleaning table 1 and positions it between two cleaning rollers 9. At this point, the hydraulic cylinder 3 is activated, causing the cleaning rollers 9 to move and press against the cow's waist. The rotary motor is then activated, causing the cleaning rollers 9 to rotate and clean the cow's waist. When cleaning the cow's back and abdomen is needed, the hydraulic cylinder 3 is activated, causing the cleaning rollers 9 to return to their original position. At this time, the air cylinder 10 is activated, causing the rack 11 to move longitudinally. The rack 11, through the meshing transmission teeth 6, drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, thus allowing the rotating shaft 5 to rotate via the connecting block. 7 drives the fixed box 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the cleaning roller 9 to rotate, allowing the cleaning roller 9 to move from a longitudinal vertical state to a transverse vertical state. Since the cylinders 10, racks 11, rotating shafts 5, transmission gears 6, connecting blocks 7, and fixed boxes 8 on both sides are arranged vertically, the two cleaning rollers 9 will be in the upper and lower positions respectively after moving from the longitudinal vertical state to the transverse vertical state. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 3 is activated, which can drive the two cleaning rollers 9 to move to the back and abdomen of the cow, thereby cleaning the back and abdomen and avoiding the situation where bacteria grow due to the inability to clean the back and abdomen of the cow, thus reducing the impact on the physical and mental health of the cow.
