Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and more specifically to an intelligent animal husbandry pen. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent livestock pens are livestock facilities that integrate modern information technology, automation technology, and intelligent control technology. They aim to improve breeding efficiency, reduce labor intensity, improve the breeding environment, enhance animal welfare, and achieve precise management of the breeding process.

[0003] Intelligent livestock pens can automatically collect and process animal waste, reducing manual cleaning workload and environmental pollution. Current research has proposed intelligent cleaning robots based on wireless communication and microprocessor technology. These robots use sensing modules such as ultrasonic sensors to collect obstacle information and transmit it wirelessly to a main controller. The controller then drives the cleaning module to collect and process livestock waste. This technology can alleviate the burden on livestock farmers, improve production efficiency, and prevent waste pollution from the waste cleaning stage.

[0004] However, intelligent cleaning robots and automatic manure removal systems are technologically complex and require professional maintenance and operation, which poses a challenge for farmers with limited technical skills. The introduction of intelligent equipment may increase initial investment costs, potentially becoming a burden for small-scale farmers.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a smart livestock pen that has both intelligent manure removal function and can reduce costs and improve manure removal effect is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides an intelligent livestock breeding pen, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A smart livestock pen, comprising:

[0009] The enclosure body includes a base plate and a fence, and the fence is provided with an enclosure door;

[0010] The sliding frame has two sliding frames, which are respectively arranged close to the inner sides of two opposite side walls of the fence, and the two sides of the sliding frame are respectively slidably connected to the other two side walls of the fence. The bottom of the sliding frame has a water spray nozzle and a scraper.

[0011] The drive mechanism consists of two parts, both of which are mounted on the fence. Each drive mechanism can drive the two sliding frames to reciprocate from one side wall of the fence toward the center.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the intelligent livestock breeding pen provided by this utility model is equipped with two sliding frames that can slide and move within the pen body. By using the sliding frames on both sides to slide towards the middle, the vacant side can be cleaned while the animals are driven to one side. The cleaning is completed by the simultaneous action of spraying and scraping to achieve intelligent automatic cleaning of the pen floor.

[0013] Preferably, in the above-mentioned intelligent livestock breeding pen, the top of both sides of the sliding frame has a semi-circular sliding sleeve, which is fastened to the top horizontal bar of the fence. This ensures a stable sliding connection of the sliding frame.

[0014] Preferably, in the above-mentioned intelligent livestock breeding pen, the driving mechanism includes a drive motor, a drive screw, and a nut seat; the drive motor is fixed to the fence; one end of the drive screw is fixedly connected to the power output shaft of the drive motor, and the other end is rotatably connected to a bearing seat on the fence; the length direction of the drive screw is consistent with the linear motion direction of the sliding frame; the nut seat is fixed to the side of the sliding frame and threadedly connected to the drive screw. The motor-driven screw motion, combined with the nut seat, controls the reciprocating movement of the sliding frame, ensuring stable movement while also satisfying the rationality of the spatial layout.

[0015] Preferably, in the aforementioned intelligent livestock pen, the two sets of drive mechanisms are arranged diagonally on both sides of the fence. They are separately configured and do not interfere with each other.

[0016] Preferably, in the above-mentioned intelligent livestock breeding pen, the bottom of the sliding frame is provided with an installation groove, and a roller shaft is rotatably connected in the installation groove, with a roller fixed on the roller shaft. By setting the roller, the stability of the sliding frame's movement is improved, and the driving force can be greatly reduced.

[0017] Preferably, in the above-mentioned intelligent livestock pen, a scraper shaft is fixed to the top edge of the scraper, and both ends of the scraper shaft are rotatably connected in the mounting groove. The scraper shaft is parallel to the roller shaft, the scraper is arranged at an angle, and the top edge provides scraper friction through a limiting mechanism. This aims to ensure that the scraper does not scrape the ground when running in one direction, but scrapes the ground when running in another direction.

[0018] Preferably, in the above-mentioned intelligent livestock breeding pen, the limiting mechanism includes a drive shaft, drive gears, and friction rollers; the drive shaft is rotatably connected in the mounting groove, parallel to the roller shaft, and located above the roller shaft; there are two drive gears, which are respectively fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft and the roller shaft, and the two drive gears mesh with each other; there are multiple friction rollers, which are fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft, the plane of the scraper plate passes through the center of the drive shaft, and the top of the scraper has an extended plate, the edge of the extended plate abuts against the friction roller, and the outer surface of the friction roller and the edge of the extended plate are both made of rubber. To improve the automation control effect, this utility model designs a transmission structure in which the roller shaft, drive shaft, and scraper shaft cooperate with each other. When the roller rotates forward, it drives the roller shaft to rotate, and the rotational power is transmitted to the drive shaft through the transmission gear. The friction roller on the drive shaft drives the extension plate of the scraper to press down, so that the scraper is lifted. Conversely, the friction roller on the drive shaft drives the extension plate of the scraper to lift up, so that the scraper scrapes the bottom. This satisfies the requirement that the scraper does not scrape the ground when it is running in one direction, but scrapes the ground when it is running in another direction. The structure is ingenious and easy to use.

[0019] Preferably, in the above-mentioned intelligent livestock pen, the roller is located between the water spray nozzle and the scraper, with the scraper facing the side wall of the fence near the sliding frame. This design allows the scraper to lift up when spraying water and scrape the bottom when resetting.

[0020] Preferably, in the above-mentioned intelligent livestock pen, the bottom plate has manure outlets on both sides, and the two manure outlets correspond to the two sliding frames respectively. The scraped manure can be discharged through the manure outlets, making it easy to clean.

[0021] Preferably, in the above-mentioned intelligent livestock breeding pen, the fence is equipped with an alarm. The alarm can be activated each time the sliding frame is started, prompting the animals in the pen to take cover as the frame slides.

[0022] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model discloses an intelligent livestock breeding pen, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The intelligent livestock breeding pen provided by this utility model is equipped with two sliding frames that can slide and move within the pen body. By using the sliding frames on both sides to slide towards the center, the vacant side can be cleaned while the animals are driven to one side. The cleaning is completed by the simultaneous action of spraying and scraping to achieve intelligent and automatic cleaning of the pen floor.

[0024] 2. To improve the automation control effect, this utility model designs a transmission structure in which the roller shaft, drive shaft, and scraper shaft cooperate with each other. When the roller rotates forward, it drives the roller shaft to rotate, and the rotational power is transmitted to the drive shaft through the transmission gear. The friction roller on the drive shaft drives the extension plate of the scraper to press down, so that the scraper is lifted. Conversely, the friction roller on the drive shaft drives the extension plate of the scraper to lift up, so that the scraper scrapes the bottom. This satisfies the requirement that the scraper does not scrape the ground when it is running in one direction, but scrapes the ground when it is running in another direction. The structure is ingenious and easy to use.

[0025] 3. The intelligent manure removal structure provided by this utility model has strong applicability. It can remove manure without emptying the pen, making manure removal timely and greatly improving the living environment of captive animals. Attached Figure Description

[0040] 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.

[0041] See appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 This utility model discloses an intelligent livestock breeding pen, comprising:

[0042] The enclosure body 1 includes a base plate 11 and a fence 12, with an enclosure door 13 on the fence 12.

[0043] There are two sliding frames 2. The two sliding frames 2 are arranged close to the inner side of the two opposite side walls of the fence 12, and the two sides of the sliding frame 2 are slidably connected to the other two side walls of the fence 12. The bottom of the sliding frame 2 has a water spray nozzle 21 and a scraper 22.

[0044] There are two drive mechanisms 3, both of which are installed on the fence 12. The two drive mechanisms 3 can drive the two sliding frames 2 to reciprocate from one side wall of the fence 12 toward the center.

[0045] To further optimize the above technical solution, the top of both sides of the sliding frame 2 has a semi-circular sliding sleeve 23, which is fastened to the top horizontal bar of the fence 12.

[0046] To further optimize the above technical solution, the drive mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 31, a drive screw 32, and a nut seat 33; the drive motor 31 is fixed on the fence 12; one end of the drive screw 32 is fixedly connected to the power output shaft of the drive motor 31, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bearing seat on the fence 12, and the length direction of the drive screw 32 is consistent with the linear motion direction of the sliding frame 2; the nut seat 33 is fixed on the side of the sliding frame 2 and is threadedly connected to the drive screw 32.

[0047] To further optimize the above technical solution, two sets of drive mechanisms 3 are arranged diagonally on both sides of the fence 12.

[0048] To further optimize the above technical solution, the bottom of the sliding frame 2 is provided with a mounting groove 24, and a roller shaft 25 is rotatably connected in the mounting groove 24, and a roller 26 is fixed on the roller shaft 25.

[0049] To further optimize the above technical solution, a scraper shaft 27 is fixed to the top edge of the scraper 22. The two ends of the scraper shaft 27 are rotatably connected in the mounting groove 24. The scraper shaft 27 is parallel to the roller shaft 25. The scraper 22 is arranged at an angle, and the top edge provides friction to the scraper 22 through the limiting mechanism 28.

[0050] To further optimize the above technical solution, the limiting mechanism 28 includes a drive shaft 281, a drive gear 282, and a friction roller 283. The drive shaft 281 is rotatably connected in the mounting groove 24, parallel to the roller shaft 25, and located above the roller shaft 25. There are two drive gears 282, which are respectively fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft 281 and the roller shaft 25, and the two drive gears 282 mesh with each other. There are multiple friction rollers 283, which are fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft 281. The plane of the scraper 22 passes through the center of the drive shaft 281, and the top of the scraper 22 has an extended extension plate 221. The edge of the extension plate 221 abuts against the friction roller 283. The outer surface of the friction roller 283 and the edge of the extension plate 221 are both made of rubber.

[0051] To further optimize the above technical solution, the roller 26 is located between the water nozzle 21 and the scraper 22, with the scraper 22 facing the side wall of the fence 12 near the sliding frame 2.

[0052] To further optimize the above technical solution, the bottom plate 11 has manure outlets 111 on both sides, and the two manure outlets 111 correspond to the two sliding frames 2 respectively.

[0053] To further optimize the above technical solution, an alarm 4 is installed on the fence 12.

[0054] like Figure 2The diagram shown illustrates the working state of the sliding frame 2 provided in this embodiment. When manure needs to be removed, the drive motor 31 starts, and the sliding frame 2 moves by rotating the drive screw 32. When the sliding frame 2 moves from the edge to the center, the structural diagram of the bottom of the sliding frame 2 is as shown. Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the water nozzle 21 performs a water spraying operation. It should be noted that the water nozzle 21 needs to be connected to an external water pipe, which is not shown in the figure. At this time, as the sliding frame 2 moves, the roller 26 rotates clockwise. Due to the meshing of the transmission gear 282, the transmission shaft 281 rotates counterclockwise. Due to the friction between the friction roller 283 and the extension plate 221, the friction roller 283 presses down on the extension plate 221, causing the scraper 22 to rotate clockwise around the scraper shaft 27. Even if the scraper 22 is lifted, it will not perform a scraping operation.

[0055] After the water spraying ends, the drive motor 31 reverses and drives the sliding frame 2 to reset. At this time, the spray nozzle 21 stops spraying water. As the sliding frame 2 moves in the opposite direction, the roller 26 rotates counterclockwise. Due to the meshing of the transmission gear 282, the transmission shaft 281 rotates clockwise. Due to the friction between the friction roller 283 and the extension plate 221, the friction roller 283 lifts the extension plate 221, causing the scraper 22 to rotate counterclockwise around the scraper shaft 27. That is, the friction roller 283 provides a downward pressure to the scraper 22, enabling it to perform scraping operations and push the cleaned feces into the manure outlet to finish.

[0056] During this process, the animals in the enclosure will be driven to the other side by the sliding frame 2, without the need to empty the enclosure for cleaning.

[0057] In this embodiment, the position of the enclosure door 13 is set as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the broken line position is the door opening position. The door lock is not shown. The other side is hinged to the post of the fence 12. In order not to affect the sliding frame 2 and operation, the top beam of the enclosure door 13 forms a flat interface with the fence 12. When it is necessary to open the enclosure door 13, the sliding frame 2 is lifted slightly upward to allow its sliding sleeve 23 to disengage from the enclosure door 13 and open it.

[0058] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. For the apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the method section.

[0059] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
