Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically a constant temperature incubation room for beef cattle calves. Background Technology

[0002] Beef cattle are livestock raised specifically to provide meat for consumption. Young beef cattle need to be raised in rearing and breeding sheds, separated from adult cattle, to ensure their healthy growth. Generally, rearing and breeding sheds have a large area for the young beef cattle to move around. Usually, young beef cattle need to be raised in a suitable temperature to avoid diseases caused by high or low temperatures, which would be detrimental to their growth.

[0003] Currently, some beef cattle sheds, in order to ensure ventilation, make it difficult to control the internal temperature and maintain a constant internal temperature. As a result, beef cattle calves are highly susceptible to diseases due to external environmental factors during the breeding process, and cannot be provided with a comfortable growth environment. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, to address the aforementioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a constant-temperature rearing room for beef cattle calves. This rearing room features openable and closable doors and windows to facilitate sealing, preventing external air from entering and allowing for easy temperature control. Simultaneously, airflow channels and fans within the room deliver heated air and accelerate air circulation, ensuring uniform internal temperature and increasing the overall temperature. Furthermore, the windows allow for easy exhaust of internal air, reducing the internal temperature and enabling precise temperature control, thus providing a more comfortable growth environment for beef cattle calves.

[0005] This invention is implemented as follows: a constant temperature incubation room for beef cattle calves is constructed, including a room body, an openable door and an openable window, a frame at the bottom of the room body, a padding material placed in the frame, and an airflow channel on the frame that is connected to an external air source. When the door and the openable window are closed, the interior of the room body remains sealed. A fan is also provided at the location of the openable window in the room body to accelerate the airflow inside the room body.

[0006] Specifically, the door and window are each hinged to the room body at one end. Inside the room body, there is a drive device that rotates the window. The fan is located on the room body where the window is located. When the window is opened by the drive device, the fan starts. A protective mechanism is located at the inner end of the room body near the door. When the door is opened, the protective mechanism closes. When the door is closed, the protective mechanism opens.

[0007] Specifically, the protective mechanism is a guardrail, which is raised and lowered by a sleeve installed at the inner end of the room. The guardrail and the door are connected by a transmission belt, with both ends of the transmission belt connected to the top of the guardrail and the top of the door, and the middle of the belt passing through a pre-set pulley inside the room. When the door is opened, the transmission belt drives the guardrail to slide upward inside the sleeve. When the door is closed, the guardrail slides to the bottom of the sleeve under the action of gravity to protect the door.

[0008] Specifically, the sleeve has a sliding groove on its opposite surface, the guardrail is rectangular and is slidably installed inside the sleeve with both ends passing through the sliding groove, and a lifting ring is provided at the top of the guardrail to facilitate the connection of the transmission belt.

[0009] Specifically, a flow guide block is provided inside the frame at a position corresponding to the opening and closing door, and a support block is provided at the inner end of the frame corresponding to the length direction of the flow guide block. Padding material is placed inside the frame on both sides of the flow guide block and the support block, and the airflow channel is provided on the support block.

[0010] Specifically, the airflow channel includes an air inlet pipe and multiple exhaust holes. One end of the air inlet pipe is located inside the support block, and the other end is connected to an external air source. The exhaust holes are located on the side of the support block inside the frame and are connected to the air inlet pipe. A protective mesh plate is provided on the outer end of the side of the support block where the exhaust holes are located.

[0011] Specifically, the room is also equipped with a milk delivery pipe, the inlet of which extends to the outside and connects to an external milk source. Multiple milk outlet pipes are installed on the milk delivery pipe, and valves are installed on the milk outlet pipes. When negative pressure is generated on the milk outlet pipes, the valves open.

[0012] Specifically, the housing includes a frame and an outer protective panel, which is made of thermal insulation material.

[0013] Specifically, the room is also equipped with a temperature sensor and a control system. When the temperature inside the room is too low, the temperature sensor sends a signal to the control system to discharge heated air into the room through the airflow channel and start the fan to accelerate the airflow. When the temperature inside the room is too high, the temperature sensor sends a signal to the control system to control the drive device to open the window and start the fan, thereby expelling the hot air inside and introducing cold air from outside into the room.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This breeding room features operable doors and windows, allowing for easy sealing and control of the internal temperature. Airflow channels and fans within the room facilitate the introduction of heated air to raise the internal temperature, while the operable windows allow for the extraction of internal air and the introduction of external air to lower the internal temperature. This design effectively controls and maintains a constant internal temperature, providing a comfortable growing environment for calves.

[0016] 2. The nursery is equipped with a protective structure at the opening and closing door to prevent calves from hitting the door and causing it to open. The protective structure also allows the door to close automatically after it opens, facilitating the entry and exit of staff or calves.

[0017] 3. The nursery is equipped with milk delivery pipes and milk outlet pipes to facilitate the delivery of nutrients into the room. The milk outlet pipes and valves can simulate the feeding of a cow so that the calves can suckle. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way. The accompanying drawings in this utility model are only for illustrative purposes and to facilitate understanding of the embodiments and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way.

[0027] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the accompanying drawings are only for the purpose of assisting those skilled in the art in understanding and reading the content disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that the present invention can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention.

[0028] As described in the background section, some beef cattle sheds currently make it difficult to control the internal temperature in order to ensure ventilation, and thus cannot guarantee a constant internal temperature. As a result, beef cattle calves are highly susceptible to diseases caused by the external environment during the breeding process, and cannot be provided with a comfortable growth environment.

[0029] For the reasons stated above, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 ~Appendix Figure 4 This utility model provides a constant temperature incubation room for beef cattle calves, including a room body 1, an openable door 2 and an openable window 3. A frame 8 is provided at the bottom of the room body 1. The frame 8 contains bedding material and has an airflow channel that is connected to an external air source. When the door 2 and the window 3 are closed, the interior of the room body 1 remains sealed. A fan 6 is also provided at the location of the window 3 in the room body 1 to accelerate the airflow inside the room body 1.

[0030] Please see the appendix Figure 2 Specifically, the opening and closing door 2 and the opening and closing window 3 are each hinged at one end to the room body 1. Inside the room body 1, there is a drive device 5 that drives the opening and closing window 3 to rotate. The drive device 5 can be set as a cylinder or electronic push rod that is easy to control automatically. The two ends of the drive device are respectively hinged to the inner side wall of the room body 1 and the opening and closing window 3. When the drive device extends, it pushes the opening and closing window 3 to open. When the drive device retracts, it pulls the opening and closing window 3 to close, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the opening and closing window 3. The fan 6 is set on the room body 1 where the opening and closing window 3 is located. When the opening and closing window 3 is opened by the drive device 5, the fan 6 is started. A protective mechanism is set at the inner end of the room body 1 near the opening and closing door 2. When the opening and closing door 2 is opened, the protective mechanism is closed. When the opening and closing door 2 is closed, the protective mechanism is opened.

[0031] Specifically, the protective mechanism is a guardrail 7, which is raised and lowered by a sleeve 13 located at the inner end of the room body 1. The guardrail 7 and the opening and closing door 2 are connected by a transmission belt. The two ends of the transmission belt are respectively connected to the top of the guardrail 7 and the opening and closing door 2, and the middle part passes through a pre-set pulley inside the room body 1. When the opening and closing door 2 is opened, the transmission belt drives the guardrail 7 to slide upward in the sleeve 13. When the opening and closing door 2 is closed, the guardrail 7 slides to the bottom of the sleeve 13 under the action of gravity to protect the opening and closing door 2. The transmission belt can be a soft rope, and the pulley is a fixed pulley fixed on the room body. Both are conventional structures and therefore are not shown in the attached drawings.

[0032] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 5 Specifically, a sliding groove is provided on the opposite surface of the sleeve 13, and the guardrail 7 is rectangular in shape and is slidably installed inside the sleeve 13 with both ends passing through the sliding groove. A lifting ring is provided at the top of the guardrail 7 to facilitate the connection of the transmission belt. In order to avoid injury to the calves, soft material is covered on the outside of the guardrail and the outside of the sleeve.

[0033] The design of the sliding groove on the casing and the structure of the guardrail ensures that the guardrail can slide to the bottom of the casing, which facilitates the protection of the opening and closing gate and prevents the cattle calves from bumping into the opening and closing gate and causing damage to the gate (because opening the opening and closing gate will induce the cattle calves to bump into the opening and closing gate and run out).

[0034] Please continue to refer to the appendix. Figure 5 Specifically, a flow guide block 12 is provided inside the frame 8 at a position corresponding to the opening and closing door 2, and a support block 11 is provided at the inner end of the frame 8 corresponding to the length direction of the flow guide block 12. Padding material is placed inside the frame 8 on both sides of the flow guide block 12 and the support block 11, and the airflow channel is provided on the support block 11.

[0035] The purpose of setting up the flow guide blocks is to facilitate the entry and exit of calves through the opening and closing doors, and to make it easier for staff to use auxiliary equipment (such as trolleys) to retrieve and place the bedding inside.

[0036] Please refer to the appendix again. Figure 5 Specifically, the airflow channel includes an air inlet pipe 10 and multiple exhaust holes 14. One end of the air inlet pipe 10 is located inside the support block 11, and the other end is connected to an external air source. The exhaust holes are located on the side of the support block 11 inside the frame 8 and are connected to the air inlet pipe 10. A protective mesh plate 9 is provided on the outer end of the side of the support block 11 where the exhaust holes are located.

[0037] The location of the exhaust vent in the airflow channel facilitates the discharge of heated air into the bottom of the chamber. Since heated air rises, this method helps to raise the overall internal temperature and prevents the bottom from becoming too cold. The protective mesh panel prevents the padding material from blocking the exhaust vent and affecting the entry of heated air into the chamber.

[0038] Please see the appendix Figure 6 Specifically, the chamber 1 is also equipped with a milk delivery pipe 4. The inlet of the milk delivery pipe 4 extends to the outside and is connected to an external milk source. Multiple milk outlet pipes 15 are provided on the milk delivery pipe 4. A valve 16 is provided on the milk outlet pipe 15. When a negative pressure is generated on the milk outlet pipe 15, the valve 16 opens.

[0039] The end of the milk outlet tube can be set to a silicone nipple shape to simulate a mother's milk nipple, making it convenient for calves to suckle. The valve ensures that negative pressure is generated in the milk outlet tube during suckling, thereby dispensing milk. When the calves leave the milk outlet tube, the valve is closed by the pressure of external gas to prevent milk from being wasted.

[0040] The milk delivery pipe can also be replaced with a feeding trough, allowing for the manual addition of feed at set times for calves to eat.

[0041] Specifically, the housing 1 includes a frame and an outer protective panel, which is made of thermal insulation material.

[0042] Specifically, the chamber 1 is also equipped with a temperature sensor and a control system (such as a PLC control system commonly used in existing industries). When the temperature inside the chamber 1 is too low, the temperature sensor sends a signal to the control system to discharge heated air into the chamber 1 through the airflow channel (the heated air can be heated and discharged by the synchronous start of an external fan and an electric heating wire). At the same time, the fan 6 is started to accelerate the airflow. When the temperature inside the chamber 1 is too high, the temperature sensor sends a signal to the control system to control the drive device 5 to open the window 3 and start the fan 6, thereby expelling the high-temperature air inside and introducing low-temperature air from outside into the chamber 1.

[0043] A gas detector is also installed inside the chamber to detect the carbon dioxide concentration inside the chamber, thereby determining the oxygen content inside. This allows the control system to control the drive device 5 to open the window 3 and start the fan 6, so as to introduce fresh air into the chamber to supply oxygen and prevent the calves from suffocating due to lack of oxygen.

[0044] In use, the calf rearing room is operated by first opening the door 2, placing bedding material inside the frame 8 and leveling it, then driving the calves into the room 1, and closing the door 2. The internal temperature is detected by an internal temperature sensor and controlled by the control system, which controls the opening and closing of the air intake channel, the window 3, and the fan 6 to regulate the temperature (the regulated temperature is determined by the staff inputting the corresponding temperature value), thus providing a comfortable feeding environment. Subsequently, the staff regularly deliver prepared milk to the milk delivery pipe 4 for the calves inside the room 1 to eat. At the same time, the staff regularly open the door 2 to dispose of the manure inside, and can also drive the calves out to move around outside, thereby improving the comfort of the calves' growth.

[0045] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the present utility model.
