Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of manure treatment equipment, and in particular to a manure treatment device in a real-time monitoring system for the carbon footprint of dairy farms. Background Technology
[0002] The real-time carbon footprint monitoring and analysis system for large-scale dairy farms mainly involves the construction of a system containing multiple sets of sensors to collect data on various activities within the dairy farm in real time, such as feed consumption, cow activity, manure treatment, energy use (including water, electricity, heating, etc.), and relevant parameters in the raw milk production process. This data is transmitted in real time to a central processing unit via a data transmission module. The central processing unit uses specific algorithms and models to analyze the data, calculate the carbon emissions at each stage, and summarizes the carbon footprint of the entire dairy farm's raw milk production. This allows for timely implementation of corresponding emission reduction measures. Within the overall system, manure treatment for dairy cows is particularly important, including the treatment of cow manure, wastewater, and related gas emissions.
[0003] Currently, the processing efficiency of cow dung drying is low, and the treatment of subsequent manure is superficial. It still causes odors to be released in the work area, causing discomfort to people and making it unsuitable for practical use.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a manure treatment device in a real-time monitoring system for the carbon footprint of dairy farms to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides a manure treatment device in a real-time monitoring system for the carbon footprint of dairy farms. This solves the problem that the current treatment efficiency of drying cow manure is low and the treatment of subsequent manure is superficial, which still causes odor to be released in the working area, causing discomfort to the human body and is not conducive to practical use.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A manure treatment device in a real-time carbon footprint monitoring system for dairy farms includes: a support frame, a feeding mechanism, a pretreatment mechanism, a drying mechanism, and a deodorization mechanism;
[0008] A pretreatment mechanism is installed on the top surface of the support frame, a feeding mechanism is installed on the top surface of the pretreatment mechanism, and a drying mechanism is installed at the bottom of the pretreatment mechanism.
[0009] In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism comprises a feeding box, a conveying auger, a fixed frame, a top cover, a pressure plate, a manure discharge plate, and a manure discharge port. The conveying auger is installed on the left side of the feeding box, and the bottom of the conveying auger is connected to the support frame via the fixed frame. The top of the feeding box is equipped with a top cover, and a reciprocating cylinder is installed on the top surface of the top cover. The output end of the reciprocating cylinder is connected to the top surface of the pressure plate. The bottom of the feeding box is equipped with a manure discharge plate, the bottom of which extends into the pretreatment mechanism. The bottom of the manure discharge plate is provided with a manure discharge port, and the right side of the bottom opening of the manure discharge port has a triangular cross-section facing the clockwise rotation direction.
[0010] In one embodiment, the pretreatment mechanism comprises a treatment box, a turntable, a motor, a heating plate, a controller, a manure outlet, and a scraper. The rear end of the treatment box has an air inlet. The treatment box is a hollow cylindrical structure. A turntable coaxial with the treatment box is installed inside, with a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the treatment box, leaving a gap between them. The bottom triangular end of the manure outlet is positioned above the apex of the turntable, also leaving a gap. A heating plate is installed on the right inner wall of the treatment box, electrically connected to the controller. Multiple heating plates are arranged in a semi-circular array on the right circumference of the treatment box. A manure outlet is located at the bottom of the treatment box and is connected to a drying mechanism. A scraper is installed on the left end of the manure outlet, with its extended end abutting against the outer circumference of the turntable.
[0011] In one embodiment, the drying mechanism consists of a drying chamber, a sealing door, a placement plate, and a heating tube. The rear end face of the drying chamber has an air inlet, the top surface of the drying chamber is in communication with the manure outlet, the placement plate is installed in the lower inner part of the drying chamber, the sealing door is installed in the front end of the drying chamber, the heating tube is installed below the placement plate, the heating tube is electrically connected to the controller, and the heating tube and the drying chamber are arranged in a sandwich shape.
[0012] In one embodiment, the deodorization mechanism comprises a filter box, a fan, a first air duct, a second air duct, filter media, and an exhaust pipe. The fan is installed on the top surface of the filter box. The fan is connected to the first air duct and the second air duct via main pipes.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] (1) This utility model preheats the interior of the processing box and the outer circumference of the turntable by activating the heating plate, so that the outer circumference of the turntable is in a high temperature state. The turntable is driven to rotate clockwise by the motor, and the cow manure is introduced into the processing box through the manure discharge port. Due to the setting height of the manure discharge port and the reserved distance between the turntable and the processing box, the cow manure is moved in a thin layer under the restriction of the manure discharge port. When it is on the surface of the turntable, it has already been preheated by the preheating temperature of the turntable for a single drying. When it passes through the heating plate, the dryness of the cow manure is even higher. As the turntable rotates, the cow manure is scraped off by the scraper. The cow manure, which is already in a partially dry state, enters the drying mechanism from the manure discharge port in small units.
[0015] (2) In this utility model, the pre-treated cow manure enters the top surface of the placement plate, and the placement plate is heated by heat radiation through the heating pipe, thereby drying the manure on the top. Through the setting of the sealed door, the dried cow manure is discharged manually at regular intervals. By starting the fan, the first air pipe and the second air pipe are used to extract the odor from the treatment box and the drying box respectively, so that the first air pipe and the second air pipe are respectively connected to the air inlet at the rear end of the treatment box and the drying box to establish a deodorization channel, so that the odor is filtered through the filter packing and discharged from the exhaust pipe.

[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the manure treatment device in the real-time monitoring system for the carbon footprint of a dairy farm provided by this utility model includes: a support frame 1, a feeding mechanism 2, a pretreatment mechanism 3, a drying mechanism 4, and a deodorization mechanism 5.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a pretreatment mechanism 3 is installed on the top surface of the support frame 1. The pretreatment mechanism 3 is used to perform preliminary drying of the fecal waste. A feeding mechanism 2 is installed on the top surface of the pretreatment mechanism 3. A drying mechanism 4 is installed at the bottom of the pretreatment mechanism 3. The drying mechanism 4 is used to perform secondary drying of the pretreated fecal waste to improve the drying efficiency of the fecal waste.
[0024] Preferably, in one embodiment, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 consists of a feeding box 21, a conveying auger 22, a fixing frame 23, a top cover 24, a pressure plate 25, a manure discharge plate 26, and a manure discharge port 27. The conveying auger 22 is installed on the left side of the feeding box 21. The bottom of the conveying auger 22 is connected to the support frame 1 via the fixing frame 23. The top cover 24 is installed on the top of the feeding box 21. A reciprocating cylinder is installed on the top surface of the top cover 24. The output end of the reciprocating cylinder is connected to the top surface of the pressure plate 25. The bottom of the feeding box 21 is equipped with a manure discharge plate 26, the bottom of which extends into the pretreatment mechanism 3. The bottom of the manure discharge plate 26 is provided with a manure discharge port 27. The right side of the bottom opening of the manure discharge port 27 has a triangular cross section, which faces the clockwise rotation direction. During operation, the cow manure is transported into the feeding box 21 by activating the conveying auger 22. The reciprocating cylinder drives the pressure plate 25 to continuously press down, so that the cow manure is discharged from the manure discharge port 27 into the pretreatment mechanism 3.
[0025] Preferably, in one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the pretreatment mechanism consists of a treatment box 31, a turntable 32, a motor 33, a heating plate 34, a controller 35, a manure outlet 36, and a scraper 37. The treatment box 31 has an air inlet on its rear end face. The treatment box 31 is a hollow cylindrical structure. A turntable 32, coaxial with the treatment box 31, is installed inside the treatment box 31. The diameter of the turntable 32 is smaller than the inner diameter of the treatment box 31, with a gap between them. The bottom triangular end of the manure outlet 27 is positioned above the apex of the turntable 32, with a gap between them. A heating plate 34 is installed on the right inner wall of the treatment box 31. The heating plate 34 is electrically connected to the controller 35. Multiple heating plates 34 are arranged in a semi-circular array on the right circumference of the treatment box 31. A manure outlet 36 is located at the bottom of the treatment box 31 and is connected to the drying mechanism 4. A scraper 37 is installed on the left end of the manure outlet 36. The extended end of the scraper 37 is set to abut against the outer peripheral surface of the turntable 32. During operation, the heating plate 34 is activated to preheat the interior of the processing box 31 and the outer peripheral surface of the turntable 32 with thermal radiation, so that the outer peripheral surface of the turntable 32 is in a high temperature state. The motor 33 drives the turntable 32 to rotate clockwise, and the cow manure is introduced into the processing box 31 through the manure discharge port 27. Due to the setting height of the manure discharge port 27 and the reserved distance between the turntable 32 and the processing box 31, the cow manure is moved in a thin layer under the restriction of the manure discharge port 27. When it is on the surface of the turntable 32, it has already been preheated by the preheating temperature of the turntable 32 for a single drying. When it passes through the heating plate 34, the dryness of the cow manure is even higher. As the turntable 31 rotates, the cow manure is scraped off by the scraper 37. The cow manure, which is already in a partially dried state, enters the drying mechanism 4 in small units from the manure discharge port 36.
[0026] Preferably, in one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the drying mechanism 4 consists of a drying chamber 41, a sealing door 42, a placement plate 43, and a heating tube 44. The rear end face of the drying chamber 41 has an air inlet, and the top surface of the drying chamber 41 is in communication with the manure outlet 36. The placement plate 43 is installed in the lower part of the drying chamber 41, and the sealing door 42 is installed in the front end of the drying chamber 41. The heating tube 44 is installed below the placement plate 43 and is electrically connected to the controller 35. The heating tube 44 and the drying chamber 41 are sandwiched together. During operation, the pre-treated cow manure enters the top surface of the placement plate 43, and the placement plate 43 is heated by heat radiation through the heating tube 44, thereby drying the manure on top. The dried cow manure is discharged manually at regular intervals through the sealing door 42.
[0027] Preferably, in one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the deodorization mechanism 5 consists of a filter box 51, a fan 52, a first air duct 53, a second air duct 54, filter media 55, and an exhaust pipe 56. The fan 52 is mounted on the top surface of the filter box 51. The fan 52 is connected to the first air duct 53 and the second air duct 54 via main pipes. The first air duct 53 is connected to the interior of the processing box 31, and the second air duct 54 is connected to the interior of the drying box 41. Filter media 55 is installed inside the filter box 51. The filter media 55 has multiple layers, consisting of deodorizing particles, activated carbon, and fragrance enhancers. An exhaust pipe 56 is installed at the bottom left side of the filter box 51. During operation, the fan 52 is activated to draw out the odor from the treatment box 31 and the drying box 41 through the first air duct 53 and the second air duct 54, respectively. This establishes deodorizing channels between the first air duct 53 and the second air duct 54 and the air inlets at the rear of the treatment box 31 and the drying box 41, respectively. The odor is then filtered by the filter media 55 and discharged from the exhaust pipe 56.
[0028] Working principle of this utility model:
[0029] During operation, the conveying auger 22 transports cow manure into the feed box 21. A reciprocating cylinder drives the pressure plate 25 to repeatedly press down, causing the manure to be discharged from the discharge port 27 into the pretreatment mechanism 3. The heating plate 34 is activated to preheat the interior of the treatment box 31 and the outer surface of the turntable 32, bringing the outer surface of the turntable 32 to a high temperature. The motor 33 drives the turntable 32 to rotate clockwise, guiding the cow manure into the treatment box 31 through the discharge port 27. The motor 33 then drives the turntable 32 to rotate clockwise. As the cylinder rotates clockwise, due to the height of the discharge port 27 and the spacing between the turntable 32 and the processing box 31, the cow manure moves in a thin layer under the restriction of the discharge port 27. When it is on the surface of the turntable 32, it has already undergone a single drying preheating at the preheating temperature of the turntable 32. When it passes through the heating plate 34, the dryness of the cow manure is further improved. As the turntable 31 rotates, the cow manure is scraped off by the scraper 37. The cow manure, which is already in a partially dry state, enters the drying mechanism 4 in small units from the discharge port 36.
[0030] The above embodiments are merely one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications or refinements made to the main design concept and spirit of this utility model that are not of substantial significance, but solve the same technical problem as this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
