Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheepfold technology, and in particular to a sheepfold. Background Technology

[0002] In sheep farming, the sheepfold is the main living place for sheep and has a significant impact on sheep health and farming efficiency. Currently, sheepfolds are designed with sheep beds. Through the holes in the sheep bed, the urine and feces excreted by the sheep can fall to the bottom of the sheep bed, and the feces are collected by the inclined plate under the sheep bed. This not only avoids the sheep from being contaminated by urine and feces and causing diseases, but also allows for the centralized collection of sheep feces.

[0003] However, since sheep manure is generally granular, when it falls onto the inclined plate, some of the sheep manure may clog the holes on the inclined plate, causing the sheep manure not only to fail to fall and be collected, but also to affect the leakage of sheep urine, resulting in the sheep manure on the inclined plate being soaked in sheep urine, thus affecting the collection efficiency of sheep manure. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a sheepfold to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0006] A sheepfold includes a sheepfold body with a sheep bed suspended above it. It also includes a perforated panel, a manure discharge assembly, and an abutment member located below the sheep bed and arranged at an angle. The higher end of the perforated panel is hinged to the sheepfold body to separate manure and urine falling from the sheep bed. The input end of the manure discharge assembly is located below the lower end of the perforated panel. The manure discharge assembly includes a receiving cylinder, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the receiving cylinder, and spiral conveying blades on the rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to a motor. The abutment member is located on the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft drives the abutment member to rotate, it intermittently abuts the perforated panel, causing it to swing around the hinge point, thus allowing sheep manure to smoothly slide off the perforated panel.

[0007] Preferably, the abutting member includes a telescopic member connected to the rotating shaft and an elastic member disposed at the movable end of the telescopic member.

[0008] Preferably, a urine guide plate is inclinedly provided on the sheepfold body, and the urine guide plate is located below the perforated plate.

[0009] Preferably, the exterior of the sheepfold is equipped with a urine collection box and a feces collection box. The lower end of the urine guide plate is connected to the input end of the urine collection box, and the output end of the receiving tube is connected to the input end of the feces collection box.

[0010] Preferably, the receiving cylinder is provided with a splash guard to prevent feces from being shaken out.

[0011] Preferably, the receiving cylinder is provided with a buffer pad for cushioning the swing of the perforated plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the perforated plate separates feces from urine, the feces remain on the perforated plate and slide down the perforated plate, and at the same time, the rotating shaft drives the spiral conveyor blades to transport the feces that fall into the receiving cylinder, which drives the contact member to rotate and intermittently contact the perforated plate, so that the perforated plate swings around the hinge point, thereby shaking off the feces stuck on the perforated plate, reducing the clogging of the perforated plate by feces and the situation of being soaked by sheep urine, and improving the collection efficiency of sheep manure.

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-8 As shown, a sheepfold includes a sheepfold body 1, within which a sheep bed 2 is suspended. The height of the sheep bed 2 from the ground can be adjusted according to actual needs. The sheep bed 2 is equipped with a fence and a feeding trough. Because the sheep bed 2 is relatively high, it allows sheep to move up and down easily. Figure 2 As shown, the sheepfold body 1 has an entrance / exit for sheep, and is equipped with an inclined movable platform. When sheep need to get off or onto sheepfold 2, the entrance / exit can be opened, and the sheep can move up and down on the movable platform. When the sheep are being raised normally on sheepfold 2, the entrance / exit can be closed. Figure 6 As shown, in order to facilitate the dropping of sheep manure from the sheep bed 2, the surface of the sheep bed 2 has a perforation, and the part between the adjacent perforations that is used to receive the sheep is raised upwards. This ensures that the sheep's feet will not get stuck, and the sheep manure will slide through the raised surface to the perforation when it falls, thus avoiding the sheep manure residue on the sheep bed 2.

[0025] When sheep manure falls through the perforations on the sheep bed 2, it passes over a perforated plate 3 inclined below the sheep bed 2. The perforated plate 3 separates the sheep manure from the sheep urine. The sheep manure slides down the perforated plate 3 and is collected, while the sheep urine permeates through the perforated plate 3 and is collected. To facilitate timely removal of sheep manure and prevent its accumulation, a manure removal component 4 is also provided. The input end of the manure removal component 4 is located below the lower end of the perforated plate 3. The manure removal component 4 includes a receiving cylinder 41, a rotating shaft 42 rotatably connected to the receiving cylinder 41, and spiral conveying blades 43 mounted on the rotating shaft 42. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to a motor 5. Sheep manure falls through the perforated plate 3 into the receiving cylinder 41. Inside, the motor 5 is turned on, which drives the rotating shaft 42 and the spiral conveying blades 43 to rotate, thereby discharging the sheep manure from the output end of the receiving cylinder 41 for subsequent processing. In order to prevent the sheep manure from getting stuck on the perforated plate 3 and causing blockage in certain positions of the perforated plate 3, an abutment 6 is provided on the rotating shaft 42. The higher end of the perforated plate 3 is hinged to the sheepfold body 1. While the rotating shaft 42 drives the spiral conveying blades 43 to transport the manure, the rotating shaft 42 drives the abutment 6 to rotate. The abutment 6 will intermittently abut the perforated plate 3, causing it to swing around the hinge point, thereby shaking off the sheep manure stuck on the perforated plate 3 and improving the collection efficiency of the sheep manure.

[0026] Reference Figure 8 As shown, furthermore, to prevent sheep manure from getting stuck on the perforated plate 3, the contact member 6 includes a telescopic member 61 connected to the rotating shaft 42 and an elastic member 62 located at the movable end of the telescopic member 61. The telescopic member 61 can be an electric telescopic rod, a rod-like structure that slides between each other, etc., and the elastic member 62 can be made of rubber, silicone, etc. During use, the length of the telescopic member 61 can be adjusted as needed. The longer the length of the telescopic member 61, the larger the range of action on the perforated plate 3 and the higher the cleaning efficiency. At the same time, the contact of the elastic member 62 with the perforated plate 3 can apply force to clean the sheep manure while avoiding rigid impact and damage to the perforated plate 3 and the sheep bed 2 structure. Even if the contact with the perforated plate 3 is relatively tight under the action of the telescopic member 61, the elastic member 62 can also buffer the force through its own deformation, thus extending the service life of the perforated plate 3.

[0027] In order to prevent the perforated plate 3 from colliding with the receiving cylinder 41 due to the action of the contacting element 6, such as Figure 7As shown, a buffer pad 11 is provided on the receiving cylinder 41 to cushion the swing of the perforated plate 3. The buffer pad 11 can be made of rubber, silicone or other materials. When the perforated plate 3 swings under the action of the contacting member 6 and comes into contact with the receiving cylinder 41, the buffer pad 11 can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force, thereby protecting the perforated plate 3 and the receiving cylinder 41 and preventing them from being damaged by collision. At the same time, hard collisions will generate a lot of noise, and the presence of the buffer pad 11 can significantly reduce the noise generated when the perforated plate 3 comes into contact with the receiving cylinder 41. This helps to create a relatively quiet sheepfold environment, reduce disturbance to the sheep, and is beneficial to the growth and health of the sheep.

[0028] Reference Figures 3-5 As shown, furthermore, in order to facilitate the drainage of urine and prevent urine from accumulating under the sheep bed 2, a urine guide plate 7 is inclinedly installed on the sheep pen body 1. The urine guide plate 7 is located below the perforated plate 3. When sheep urine falls onto the urine guide plate 7, it can flow along the inclined direction of the urine guide plate 7, avoiding random accumulation under the sheep bed 2. It can concentrate and guide the urine to a designated location, which can effectively reduce the humidity in the sheep pen body 1. A dry environment is beneficial to the health of sheep and can reduce various diseases caused by dampness, such as skin diseases and hoof diseases. At the same time, it can also improve the air quality of the sheep pen body 1 and reduce odor.

[0029] To facilitate the centralized collection and treatment of sheep manure and urine, a urine collection box 8 and a feces collection box 9 are installed on the outside of the sheepfold 1. The lower end of the urine guide plate 7 is connected to the input end of the urine collection box 8, and the output end of the receiving cylinder 41 is connected to the input end of the feces collection box 9. When urine slides down the urine guide plate 7, it falls into the urine collection box 8. At the same time, the feces discharge component 4 can discharge feces into the feces collection box 9 for collection, which facilitates the classification and treatment of both. Classified collection helps to improve the utilization value of sheep urine and feces and realize the rational use of resources. At the same time, urine and feces are promptly guided out of the sheepfold and collected into special boxes, avoiding random accumulation inside or around the sheepfold 1. This effectively reduces the growth and spread of bacteria and viruses, lowers the risk of sheep contracting diseases, and provides a clean and hygienic living environment for sheep, which is conducive to the healthy growth of sheep.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 7As shown, furthermore, in order to prevent the manure from being shaken out by the swinging perforated plate 3, a splash guard 10 is provided on the receiving cylinder 41 to prevent the manure from being shaken out. When the contact member 6 swings against the perforated plate 3 to make it vibrate, the part of the perforated plate 3 that is in direct contact with the elastic member 62 will exert a greater force on the manure, and the manure at this position will also vibrate and pop out. The splash guard 10 can limit the movement trajectory of the sheep manure, prevent it from splashing onto the ground of the sheepfold body 1 or other places, keep the environment of the sheepfold body 1 clean and hygienic, and reduce the workload of the farmers in cleaning the manure.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
