Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of manure layer cleaning equipment, specifically a front wheel conformal wheel device for a manure cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the livestock farming industry, manure removal is a crucial part of daily farm management, and its efficiency and quality directly affect the farming environment and subsequent manure treatment operations. Currently, most manure removal machines on the market suffer from design flaws, severely limiting their practical application effectiveness.

[0003] Most existing manure removal machines place the rotary tiller and conveyor at the very front, resulting in a top-heavy design and disrupting the machine's balance. During operation, this not only limits movement speed and significantly reduces stability but also hinders manure removal efficiency. Furthermore, the illogical arrangement of the engine, rotary tiller blades, conveyor, and sweeping devices leads to low transmission efficiency, further exacerbating unnecessary energy consumption and increasing livestock costs.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the manure removal device can be placed in the middle, with the front wheels contacting the manure layer first. However, if the front wheels contact the manure layer first, the vehicle body will tilt, creating a height difference. This height difference will cause the relative height of the manure removal device to the ground to change, making it impossible to carry out manure removal work effectively. Utility Model Content

[0008] The balancing mechanism includes a ball-head shock absorber rod, a double ball-head rod, and a rotating cylindrical seat; the ball-head shock absorber rod is connected by two ball heads on the double ball-head rod; the double ball-head rod is connected to the rotating cylindrical seat by rivets; the ball-head shock absorber rod includes a ball head seat, a piston rod, a shock absorber spring, and a shock absorber cylinder; one side of the ball head seat is fixedly connected to the piston rod, and the other side of the ball head seat is fixedly connected to the shock absorber cylinder; the piston rod is inserted into the shock absorber cylinder; the shock absorber spring is sleeved on the outside of the shock absorber cylinder, and the shock absorber spring abuts against the ball head seats on both sides.

[0009] The shock absorption mechanism includes a hydraulic shock absorber and a base connecting arm; the two ends of the hydraulic shock absorber are respectively connected to the contour wheel frame and the base connecting arm via cylindrical pins; the base connecting arm is connected to the contour wheel frame via cylindrical pins, and a rotating cylindrical seat is placed in the cylindrical groove on the base connecting arm.

[0010] In the rocker arm mechanism, the front wheel drives the front rocker arm to rotate via the axle; the balance mechanism allows the ball joint shock absorber rod to adjust its length and angle under the drive of the front rocker arm, and the double ball joint rod to adjust the angle, while simultaneously driving the rotating cylindrical seat to rotate automatically to adapt to the effect of the front rocker arm rising on one side; the damping mechanism causes the base connecting arm to rise under the drive of the rotating cylindrical seat, and the hydraulic shock absorber to retract.

The rocker arm mechanism (1) is located on both sides of the contouring wheel frame (4). The balancing mechanism (2) is located between the rocker arm mechanisms (1) and connected to the shock absorption mechanism (3). The shock absorption mechanism (3) connects the contouring wheel frame (4) and the balancing mechanism (2). The contouring wheel frame (4) is fixedly connected to the sweeping device frame (5). The sweeping device frame (5) is fixed with the sweeping device (6). When the sweeping device frame (5) moves horizontally, the sweeping device (6) can collect all the feces on the ground.

[0021] See Figure 3 The rocker arm mechanism (1) includes a front wheel (11), an axle (12), a ball joint block (13), a front rocker arm (14), and a front rocker arm (14). The front rocker arm (14) is mounted on both ends of the contour wheel frame (4), and the axle (12) and the ball joint block (13) are fixedly connected to the front rocker arm (14). The front wheel (11) is mounted on the axle (12). In the rocker arm mechanism (1), the front wheel (11) drives the front rocker arm (14) to rotate through the axle (12).

[0022] See Figure 4 The balancing mechanism (2) includes a ball-head shock absorber (21), a double ball-head rod (22), and a rotating cylindrical seat (23). The ball-head shock absorber (21) is connected by two ball heads on the double ball-head rod (22). The double ball-head rod (22) is connected to the rotating cylindrical seat (23) by rivets. Under the drive of the front rocker arm (14), the length and angle of the ball-head shock absorber (21) of the balancing mechanism (2) can be adjusted, and the angle of the double ball-head rod (22) can be adjusted. At the same time, the rotating cylindrical seat (23) is driven to rotate and automatically adjust to adapt to the effect of the unilateral rise of the front rocker arm (14).

[0023] See Figure 5The shock absorption mechanism (3) includes a hydraulic shock absorber (31) and a base connecting arm (32). The two ends of the hydraulic shock absorber (31) are connected to the profile wheel frame (4) and the base connecting arm (32) respectively by cylindrical pins. The base connecting arm (32) is connected to the profile wheel frame (4) by cylindrical pins, and a rotating cylindrical seat (23) is placed in the cylindrical groove on the base connecting arm (32). The base connecting arm (32) of the shock absorption mechanism (3) rises under the drive of the rotating cylindrical seat (23), and the hydraulic shock absorber (31) retracts.

[0024] See Figure 6 The ball joint shock absorber rod (21) includes a ball joint seat (211), a piston rod (212), a shock absorber spring (213), and a shock absorber cylinder (214). One side of the ball joint seat (211) is fixedly connected to the piston rod (212), and the other side of the ball joint seat (211) is fixedly connected to the shock absorber cylinder (214).

The shock absorber spring (213) is sleeved on the outside of the shock absorber cylinder (214), and the shock absorber spring (213) abuts against the ball joint seats (211) on both sides. When the shock absorber spring (213) in the ball joint shock absorber rod (21) is subjected to force, it will extend and retract. The piston rod (212) moves in translation within the shock absorber cylinder (214), and the length of the ball joint shock absorber rod (21) can be changed.

[0025] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0026] 1. When it is necessary to clean the manure layer, first clear a flat area the width of one side of the front wheel. Then, move one side of the front wheel (such as the left side) of the manure cleaning machine equipped with "a manure cleaning device front wheel contour wheel device" on the flat ground, and move the other side of the front wheel (such as the right side) on the manure layer. Therefore, the manure cleaning process should be carried out in a clockwise direction along the edge of the manure layer and cleaned inwards in circles until the entire manure layer is collected.

[0027] 2. When one front wheel of the manure cleaner (e.g., the left side) is moving on flat ground and the other front wheel (e.g., the right side) is moving on the manure layer, there is a height difference between the two sides of the manure layer. The shock absorber spring in the ball joint shock absorber rod on the right side is compressed, the ball joint shock absorber rod is shortened and rises as a whole with the rise of the front rocker arm, driving the double ball joint rod to compress the shock absorber spring on the left side, the ball joint shock absorber rod on the left side is shortened, and the double ball joint rod presents a "right high, left low" posture. The rotating cylindrical seat rotates appropriately at a certain angle and drives the base connecting arm to rise, the hydraulic shock absorber is compressed, and the front wheel contour wheel device is stabilized within a certain range of fluctuation. At this time, the contour wheel frame moves horizontally, and the contour wheel frame is fixedly connected to the sweeping device frame. The sweeping device frame also moves horizontally, so the sweeping device can clean up the manure layer on the swept ground. The whole machine cleans up circle by circle until all the manure layer is collected.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any simple changes or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions that can be obviously obtained by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
