Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of plant bedding material dispensing machines, specifically a plant bedding material dispensing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, pig farms in China use concrete and composite material slatted floors for their pigsties. This method has three major problems: 1. Pigs live directly on a hard surface, which suppresses their instinct to "root" in the soil; 2. Slatted floors without bedding are damp and prone to bacterial growth; 3. The manure pits built under the slatted floors collect both feces and urine, requiring dry and wet separation during later wastewater treatment, and the separated liquid wastewater is extremely difficult to treat effectively. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technical solutions, this utility model provides a plant bedding material dispensing machine, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0005] A plant bedding material dispensing machine includes a guide rail, a drive unit, a bedding material dispensing machine box, and a wire rope rotation mechanism;
[0006] The drive unit consists of a stainless steel casing, a geared motor, and a steel wire rope.
[0007] The steel wire rope connecting the pad material distribution box provides longitudinal walking power;
[0008] The plant bedding material distribution box is assembled from a box body, guide wheels, a flat belt conveyor, and a traction ring.
[0009] Specifically, the plant bedding material distribution box is installed entirely on a guide rail and moves and is positioned along the guide rail under the traction force provided by the drive host.
[0010] Specifically, the upper part of the plant bedding material distribution box is provided with a cavity for empty storage of bedding material, and the lower part is provided with a material inlet, the lower end of which is connected to the flat belt conveyor and the guide wheel.
[0011] Specifically, the traction rings are located on both sides of the housing of the bedding material distribution box, and the traction rings are connected to the drive host through the steel wire rope to drive the bedding material distribution box to move in a straight line.
[0012] Specifically, the wire rope rotation mechanism, through the rotation of the wire rope in conjunction with the drive host, enables the linear back-and-forth movement of the pad material distribution box.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. Laying a layer of plant bedding on the pigpen floor satisfies the pigs' instinct to "root in the soil" and provides a more suitable environment for their growth;
[0015] 2. The bedding layer can absorb the moisture from the pigs' urine and feces in an instant, keeping the pigpen dry and effectively preventing the growth of bacteria;
[0016] 3. The mixture of bedding and feces does not contain liquid pollutants, making it easier to convert into organic fertilizer in the feces treatment process. It does not require dry and wet separation, reducing the difficulty and cost of treatment.
[0017] 4. The bedding absorbs urine, reducing the emission of ammonia and odor, lowering the ammonia concentration in the pigpen, and resulting in higher nitrogen content in the later-formed manure, which in turn produces more fertile organic fertilizer, making it more beneficial for crop growth when returned to the field.
[0018] 5. Through ingenious design and integration of numerous standard components, the structure is simple and the cost is low; the unique plant bedding material distribution box design has three major functions: walking, bedding material storage and bedding material dispensing, with superior performance. Attached Figure Description
[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall external structure of this utility model;
[0020] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a plant bedding material distribution box according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a plant bedding material distributor, which is a bedding material dispensing device that can be used in conjunction with raised floors or applied in traditional pigsties. A track is installed above the raised floor or pigpen, and the plant bedding material distributor dispenses granular or fragmented dried wood ash, dried straw, or dried rice husks and other agricultural waste to each raised floor at regular intervals and in measured quantities, laying a uniform layer of bedding material on the raised floor and pigpen floor.
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the entire machine consists of four main parts: guide rail 1, drive unit 2, bedding material distribution box 3, and wire rope rotation mechanism 4. Guide rail 1 is made of solid wood or shaped steel with anti-corrosion surface treatment, making it inexpensive and durable. Guide rail 1 is laid above the front end of multiple raised floors or above a traditional pigpen, serving as the running track for the bedding material distribution machine. Drive unit 2 is assembled from a stainless steel shell 21, a geared motor 22, and a wire rope 23, connecting to the bedding material distribution box 3 via the wire rope 23 to provide longitudinal walking power. Bedding material distribution box 3 is assembled from a box body 31, guide wheels 32, a flat belt conveyor 33, and a traction ring 34. The bedding material distribution box 3 is mounted entirely on guide rail 1 and, under the traction provided by drive unit 2, travels along guide rail 1 to a designated position above each raised floor or pigpen, distributing the plant bedding material from box body 31 onto the pigpen floor via the flat belt conveyor 33. When the pigpen area is large, feeding can be done while walking, ensuring that the pigpen floor is evenly covered with bedding material. The box 31 is made of stainless steel. The upper cavity stores the bedding material, and the lower steel structure near the feed inlet 35 connects the flat belt conveyor 33 and the guide wheel 32. The guide wheel 32 works with the guide rail 1 to guide the walking transmission. The flat belt conveyor 33 is installed at the bottom of the box 31, and the bedding material in the box 31 is discharged from the feed inlet through the circulating rolling of the belt. The traction ring 34 is connected to the drive host 2. The wire rope 23 pulls the traction ring 34, driving the bedding material distribution box 3 to move linearly. The wire rope rotation mechanism 4 works with the drive host 2 to realize the linear back-and-forth operation of the bedding material distribution machine.
[0024] This embodiment is the first to use plant-based bedding material laid on the pigpen floor, satisfying the pigs' instinct to "root" in the soil and providing a more suitable environment for their growth. Using waste materials such as straw as bedding material turns waste into treasure, achieving resource recycling. The bedding material immediately absorbs moisture from urine and feces, keeping the pigpen dry, effectively preventing bacterial growth and controlling disease transmission. The mixture of bedding material and feces does not contain liquid pollutants, eliminating the need for dry-wet separation, reducing investment in treatment facilities and lowering manure treatment costs. The bedding material absorbs ammonia from urine and feces, resulting in manure with higher nitrogen content in the later stages, leading to more potent organic fertilizer that is more beneficial for crop growth when returned to the field.
[0025] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
