Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to a device for cleaning manure in animal husbandry. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry is the production sector that utilizes domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal materials. Animal husbandry requires timely cleaning of manure in the feeding sheds to prevent manure pollution and the generation of pests and diseases that harm the health of livestock.

[0003] Common methods for cleaning livestock manure often rely on manual labor, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Common manure cleaning devices often fail to completely remove manure, leaving residue and failing to meet usage requirements. To address this technical problem, existing technology CN218773133U provides a livestock manure cleaning device. This device shovels manure into a collection cylinder via a ramp, then lifts it with an auger to a collection box. A scraper and brush remove residue, while a water pump enhances the cleaning effect, ensuring thorough cleaning without residue. When the collection box is full, a sliding block design facilitates replacement; after cleaning, the device is reset for continued operation. A handle design allows for easy movement of the device, solving the problem of incomplete cleaning.

[0004] However, there may be some technical problems in its use. For example, when the device is in use, it needs to use the power generated by the ramp plate during its movement to shovel up the feces. However, this method only relies on the kinetic energy of the ramp plate when it moves forward, and it cannot effectively shovel up and collect the feces scattered on the ground. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a device for cleaning manure in livestock farming, which allows workers to easily shovel manure onto a ramp for collection and treatment.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a device for cleaning manure in livestock farming is provided, including a base plate, a manure collection mechanism fixed to the top of the base plate, and wheels installed at the bottom of the base plate. The base plate is provided with a ramp plate adapted to the inlet of the manure collection mechanism. The bottom of the base plate is also provided with a manure residue cleaning mechanism that is driven and connected to a rotating rod on the manure collection mechanism. A half-gear is provided between the ramp plate and the manure residue cleaning mechanism, and is coaxially fixed to the bottom of the rotating rod. A groove is provided at the bottom of the ramp plate, and a shovel plate is provided in the groove. One end of the shovel plate extends to the side of the ramp plate away from the half-gear, and the other end extends between the ramp plate and the manure residue cleaning mechanism. A rack is meshed on the half-gear and fixed to the top of the shovel plate. A connecting plate located above the shovel plate is fixed to the side wall of the ramp plate facing the rack. The rack and the connecting plate are connected by a spring. A sliding rod is fixed to the bottom of the base plate and slidably connected to the bottom of the shovel plate.

[0007] In use, this utility model comprises a base plate, a feces collection mechanism fixed to the top of the base plate, and wheels installed at the bottom of the base plate. The base plate has a ramp adapted to the inlet of the feces collection mechanism. At the bottom of the base plate is a feces residue cleaning mechanism connected to a rotating rod on the feces collection mechanism. A half-gear, coaxially fixed to the bottom of the rotating rod, is installed between the ramp and the feces residue cleaning mechanism. A groove is formed at the bottom of the ramp, and a shovel is installed within the groove. One end of the shovel extends to the side of the ramp away from the half-gear, and the other end extends between the ramp and the feces residue cleaning mechanism. A rack meshes with the half-gear and is fixed to the top of the shovel. A connecting plate is fixed to the side wall of the ramp facing the rack, positioned above the shovel. The rack and the connecting plate are connected by a spring. A sliding rod is fixed to the bottom of the base plate and slidably connected to the bottom of the shovel. In use, pushing the base plate causes it to move under the drive of the wheels, moving the ramp over the feces area. Activating the feces collection mechanism causes the rotating rod on it to rotate, which in turn moves the feces residue cleaning mechanism. During this process, the half-gear also rotates with the rotating rod, causing its teeth to mesh with the rack. This moves the shovel plate in the chute towards the feces residue cleaning mechanism and along the slide bar, stretching the spring. As the half-gear rotates, its teeth disengage from the rack, and the rack, losing its force towards the feces residue cleaning mechanism, returns to its initial position under the spring's recoil, also moving the shovel plate back to its initial position. This process repeats, with the shovel plate scooping up feces onto the ramp as it moves, allowing the feces to enter the feces collection mechanism through the feed inlet. The feces residue cleaning mechanism then cleans up any remaining feces, making it convenient for workers to scoop the feces onto the ramp for collection and processing.

[0008] Preferably, the fecal collection mechanism includes a collection cylinder fixed to the top of the base plate and a collection box slidably connected to the top of the base plate. The inlet is opened on the lower side wall of the collection cylinder, and a first opening is opened on the upper side wall of the collection cylinder. A second opening is opened on the side wall of the collection box facing the collection cylinder. The first opening and the second opening are connected by a channel. A rotating rod extending vertically is rotatably arranged inside the collection cylinder. An auger is fixed to the outer circumference of the rotating rod. A motor is provided at the top of the collection cylinder to rotate the rotating rod inside the collection cylinder. The feces collection mechanism includes a collection cylinder fixed to the top of a base plate and a collection box slidably connected to the top of the base plate. The inlet is located on the lower side wall of the collection cylinder, and a first opening is located on the upper side wall of the collection cylinder. A second opening is located on the side wall of the collection box facing the collection cylinder. The first and second openings are connected by a channel. A rotating rod extending vertically is rotatably installed inside the collection cylinder, and an auger is fixed to the outer circumference of the rotating rod. A motor is installed at the top of the collection cylinder to rotate the rotating rod inside the collection cylinder. When the device is in use, the motor is started to rotate the rotating rod inside the collection cylinder, thereby causing the auger to rotate inside the collection cylinder. This allows the feces that enter the feces collection mechanism through the inlet along the ramp plate to move to the first opening under the drive of the auger, and then enter the collection box through the second opening along the channel, thus facilitating the collection and processing of feces by the staff.

[0009] Preferably, the fecal residue cleaning mechanism includes a driven sprocket located on the side of the rotating rod away from the ramp plate and rotatably connected to the bottom of the base plate. A driving sprocket is coaxially fixed to the outer circumference of the rotating rod. The driving sprocket and the driven sprocket are connected by a chain drive. A driven shaft is coaxially fixed to the side of the driven sprocket away from the base plate. A scraper is fixed to the end of the driven shaft away from the driven sprocket. A brush is fixed to the bottom of the scraper. The diameter of the scraper is smaller than the front and rear width of the base plate. The fecal residue cleaning mechanism includes a driven sprocket located on the side of the rotating rod away from the ramp and rotatably connected to the bottom of the base plate. A driving sprocket is coaxially fixed to the outer circumference of the rotating rod. The driving sprocket and the driven sprocket are connected by a chain drive. A driven shaft is coaxially fixed to the side of the driven sprocket away from the base plate. A scraper is fixed to the end of the driven shaft away from the driven sprocket. A brush is fixed to the bottom of the scraper. The diameter of the scraper is smaller than the front and rear width of the base plate. When the device is in use, the rotating rod inside the collection cylinder is driven by a motor to rotate, causing the driving sprocket to rotate with the rotating rod. The driven sprocket is then driven by the chain drive to rotate at the bottom of the base plate, which in turn causes the scraper to rotate under the drive of the driven shaft. This causes the brush to rotate with the scraper, thereby cleaning the fecal residue at the location where the ramp passes.

[0010] Preferably, a water tank is also provided on the top of the base plate, located on the side of the collection box away from the collection cylinder. A water pump is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate, located on the side of the scraper away from the rotating rod. A nozzle is installed on the side wall of the water pump facing the scraper, and the nozzle is connected to the water tank through the water pump. By providing a water tank on the top of the base plate, located on the side of the collection box away from the collection cylinder, and a water pump fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate, located on the side of the scraper away from the rotating rod, with a nozzle installed on the side wall of the water pump facing the scraper and connected to the water tank through the water pump, the device, during use, draws water from the water tank through the water pump and sprays it out from the nozzle. This assists the fecal residue cleaning mechanism in cleaning fecal residue at the location where the ramp passes.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the collection box has a through groove extending in the front-to-back direction, and the top of the base plate is fixedly connected to a slide rail adapted to the through groove. By having a through groove extending in the front-to-back direction at the bottom of the collection box, and a slide rail fixedly connected to the top of the base plate to adapt to the through groove, the collection box can be easily removed from the base plate by the slide rail and the through groove, so as to process the collected feces in the collection box.

[0012] Preferably, the water tank is provided with a handrail fixed to the top of the base plate on the side away from the collection box. By providing a handrail fixed to the top of the base plate on the side of the water tank away from the collection box, the handrail allows workers to easily push the base plate, enabling it to move under the drive of the wheels.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A base plate, a fecal collection mechanism fixed to the top of the base plate, and wheels installed at the bottom of the base plate are provided. The base plate has a ramp plate adapted to the inlet of the fecal collection mechanism. A fecal residue cleaning mechanism, connected to the rotating rod of the fecal collection mechanism, is also provided at the bottom of the base plate. A half-gear, coaxially fixed to the bottom of the rotating rod, is provided between the ramp plate and the fecal residue cleaning mechanism. A groove is opened at the bottom of the ramp plate, and a shovel plate is installed in the groove, with one end of the shovel plate extending to the ramp. The shovel extends from the side away from the half-gear, with the other end extending between the ramp and the fecal residue cleaning mechanism. A rack, fixed to the top of the shovel, meshes with the half-gear. A connecting plate, positioned above the shovel, is fixed to the sidewall of the ramp facing the rack. The rack and connecting plate are connected by a spring. A sliding rod, slidably connected to the bottom of the shovel, is fixed to the bottom of the base plate. In use, pushing the base plate causes it to move under the drive of the wheels, moving the ramp over the fecal residue area. Activating the feces collection mechanism causes the rotating rod on it to rotate, which in turn moves the feces residue cleaning mechanism. During this process, the half-gear also rotates with the rotating rod, causing its teeth to mesh with the rack. This moves the shovel plate in the chute towards the feces residue cleaning mechanism and along the slide bar, stretching the spring. As the half-gear rotates, its teeth disengage from the rack, and the rack, losing its force towards the feces residue cleaning mechanism, returns to its initial position under the spring's recoil, also moving the shovel plate back to its initial position. This process repeats, with the shovel plate scooping up feces onto the ramp as it moves, allowing the feces to enter the feces collection mechanism through the feed inlet. The feces residue cleaning mechanism then cleans up any remaining feces, making it convenient for workers to scoop the feces onto the ramp for collection and processing. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.

[0022] like Figures 1-5 The present invention discloses a device for cleaning manure in livestock farming, comprising a base plate 2, a manure collection mechanism fixed to the top of the base plate 2, and wheels 3 installed at the bottom of the base plate 2. The base plate 2 is provided with a ramp 17 adapted to the inlet 19 of the manure collection mechanism. The bottom of the base plate 2 is also provided with a manure residue cleaning mechanism that is pulsatorically connected to a rotating rod 23 on the manure collection mechanism. A half-gear 27, coaxially fixed to the bottom of the rotating rod 23, is provided between the ramp 17 and the manure residue cleaning mechanism. A groove 30 is formed at the bottom of the ramp 17. A shovel plate 20 is provided in the chute 30. One end of the shovel plate 20 extends to the side of the ramp plate 17 away from the half gear 27, and the other end of the shovel plate 20 extends between the ramp plate 17 and the fecal residue cleaning mechanism. A rack 31 is meshed on the half gear 27 and fixedly connected to the top of the shovel plate 20. A connecting plate 25 located above the shovel plate 20 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the ramp plate 17 facing the rack 31. The rack 31 and the connecting plate 25 are connected by a spring 29. A slide rod 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom plate 2 and slidably connected to the bottom of the shovel plate 20.

[0023] The fecal collection mechanism includes a collection cylinder 10 fixed to the top of the base plate 2 and a collection box 7 slidably connected to the top of the base plate 2. An inlet 19 is located on the lower side wall of the collection cylinder 10. A first opening 22 is located on the upper side wall of the collection cylinder 10. A second opening 21 is located on the side wall of the collection box 7 facing the collection cylinder 10. The first opening 22 and the second opening 21 are connected by a channel 9. A rotating rod 23 extending vertically is rotatably mounted inside the collection cylinder 10. An auger 1 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating rod 23. 8. A motor 8 is provided at the top of the collection cylinder 10 to rotate the rotating rod 23 inside the collection cylinder 10. When the device is in use, the motor 8 is started to rotate the rotating rod 23 inside the collection cylinder 10, thereby causing the auger 18 to rotate inside the collection cylinder 10. This causes the feces that enter the feces collection mechanism through the feed inlet 19 along the ramp 17 to move to the first opening 22 under the drive of the auger 18, and then enter the collection box 7 through the second opening 21 along the channel 9, thus facilitating the collection and treatment of feces by the staff. The fecal residue cleaning mechanism includes a driven sprocket 28 located on the side of the rotating rod 23 away from the ramp 17 and rotatably connected to the bottom of the base plate 2. A driving sprocket 24 is coaxially fixed to the outer circumference of the rotating rod 23. The driving sprocket 24 and the driven sprocket 28 are connected by a chain 15. A driven shaft 6 is coaxially fixed to the side of the driven sprocket 28 away from the base plate 2. A scraper 26 is fixed to the end of the driven shaft 6 away from the driven sprocket 28. A brush 13 is fixed to the bottom of the scraper 26. The diameter of the scraper 26 is smaller than the front and rear width of the base plate 2. When the device is in use, the rotating rod 23 inside the collection cylinder 10 is driven by the motor 8 to rotate, causing the driving sprocket 24 to rotate with the rotating rod 23. The driven sprocket 28 is driven by the chain 15 to rotate at the bottom of the base plate 2, thereby causing the scraper 26 to rotate under the drive of the driven shaft 6. This causes the brush 13 to rotate with the scraper 26, thereby cleaning the fecal residue at the location where the ramp 17 passes. A water tank 4 is installed on the top of the base plate 2, located on the side of the collection box 7 away from the collection cylinder 10. A water pump 11 is fixed to the bottom of the base plate 2, located on the side of the scraper 26 away from the rotating rod 23. A nozzle 12 is installed on the side wall of the water pump 11 facing the scraper 26. The nozzle 12 is connected to the water tank 4 through the water pump 11. When the device is in use, the water pump 11 draws water from the water tank 4 and sprays it out from the nozzle 12. This helps the fecal residue cleaning mechanism to clean the fecal residue at the location where the ramp 17 passes. A through groove 5 extending in the front-to-back direction is opened at the bottom of the collection box 7, and a slide rail 14 adapted to the through groove 5 is fixed to the top of the base plate 2. The slide rail 14 and the through groove 5 make it easy for workers to remove the collection box 7 from the base plate 2 for processing the collected fecal matter. By providing a handrail 1 fixed to the top of the base plate 2 on the side of the water tank 4 away from the collection box 7, the handrail 1 allows the staff to easily push the base plate 2, so that the base plate 2 can move under the drive of the wheels 3.

[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 1-5 The method of using this utility model is as follows: First, by pushing the handle 1, the base plate 2 moves under the drive of the wheel 3, and drives the ramp 17 to move past the feces position. Then, by starting the motor 8, the rotating rod 23 inside the collection cylinder 10 rotates. During this process, the half gear 27 also rotates with the rotating rod 23 on the feces collection mechanism, so that the teeth of the half gear 27 mesh with the rack 31, thereby driving the shovel 20 to move in the slide 30 toward the feces residue cleaning mechanism, and causing the shovel 20 to move on the slide rod 16. When spring 29 is stretched, the teeth of half gear 27 disengage from rack 31 during rotation, ceasing to mesh with it. Rack 31 loses its force towards the fecal residue cleaning mechanism and returns to its initial position under the retraction of spring 29, also causing shovel plate 20 to return to its initial position. This process repeats, with shovel plate 20 scooping up feces onto ramp plate 17 during its movement, and then allowing the feces to enter the fecal collection mechanism via inlet 19 along ramp plate 17. Simultaneously, the rotation of rotating rod 23 causes auger 18 to move within collection cylinder 10. The rotation causes the feces entering the feces collection mechanism through the feed inlet 19 along the ramp 17 to move to the first opening 22 under the drive of the auger 18, and then enter the collection box 7 through the second opening 21 along the channel 9, thus facilitating the collection and processing of the feces by the staff. During this process, the motor 8 drives the rotating rod 23 inside the collection cylinder 10 to rotate, which also causes the drive sprocket 24 to rotate along with the rotating rod 23. The driven sprocket 28 is driven by the chain 15 to rotate at the bottom of the base plate 2, thereby causing the scraper 26 to rotate under the drive of the driven shaft 6. This causes the brush 13 to rotate with the scraper 26, thereby cleaning the fecal residue at the location where the ramp 17 passes. At the same time, the water pump 11 is activated to draw water from the water tank 4 and spray it out from the nozzle 12, which helps the fecal residue cleaning mechanism clean the fecal residue at the location where the ramp 17 passes. When the collection box 7 has collected a certain amount of feces, the collection box 7 is moved on the slide rail 14 by dragging it, so that the through groove 5 on the collection box 7 is disengaged from the slide rail 14, and the collection box 7 is removed from the base plate 2, thereby processing the feces collected in the collection box 7.
