Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a pigsty disinfection robot. Background Technology

[0002] In modern pig farming, the cleaning and disinfection of pigsties before pregnant sows are transferred to the farrowing pen in late gestation is crucial, directly impacting the health of both sows and piglets. Currently, existing pigsty disinfection robots are widely used in small and medium-sized farms. Some employ dual disinfection modes of ultraviolet light and spraying, equipped with lidar obstacle avoidance and autonomous navigation, and support remote control and data recording, providing some convenience for pigsty disinfection. However, in practical use, these robots have revealed several drawbacks. First, their large size and weight, coupled with the complex and narrow layout of the pigsty's interior, make movement extremely inconvenient, hindering their ability to flexibly navigate to various disinfection areas and impacting disinfection efficiency. Second, their disinfection spray range is limited, failing to comprehensively and efficiently cover every corner of the pigsty, easily creating disinfection blind spots and failing to meet the need for thorough disinfection. This poses a threat to the hygiene of the farming environment and is detrimental to the healthy growth of sows and piglets. Therefore, the development of a new type of pigsty disinfection robot is urgently needed to address the problems of existing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pigsty disinfection robot to solve the problems of existing pigsty disinfection robots being large and heavy, inconvenient to move in small pigsties, and having a small disinfection spray range, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of comprehensive and efficient disinfection of pigsties, and easily creates disinfection dead spots, threatening the health of pigs.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A pigsty disinfection robot includes a wheeled chassis, on which a support, a first medicine tank, and an electric pump are mounted. A spraying device is provided on one or both sides of the support. The spraying device includes a flipping arm, a flipping push rod, and multiple first nozzles. One end of the flipping arm is hinged to the support, and both ends of the flipping push rod are respectively hinged to the flipping arm and the support. The first nozzles are mounted on the flipping arm, and the first medicine tank is connected to each of the first nozzles through a pipe. The electric pump is mounted on the pipe.

[0006] It also includes a telescopic arm, a telescopic push rod, and a top block. One end of the telescopic arm is inserted into the tilting arm, the telescopic push rod is installed in one end of the tilting arm, the piston rod of the telescopic push rod is connected to the top block set in the telescopic arm, and multiple second nozzles are connected to the part of the telescopic arm that protrudes from the tilting arm.

[0007] A second medicine tank is installed on the wheeled chassis. The second medicine tank is connected to an electric pump via a pipeline. Solenoid valves are installed on the pipeline connecting the electric pump to the first and second medicine tanks.

[0008] Flow meters are installed on the pipes connecting the electric pump to the first and second medicine tanks.

[0009] It also includes two liquid level sensors installed on the first and second medicine tanks respectively, and an electrical control box installed on the wheeled chassis. The electrical control box contains a controller, a flow meter and a liquid level sensor connected to the controller input, and an electric pump connected to the controller output.

[0010] A cover is installed on the wheeled chassis, and the first medicine tank, the second medicine tank, the electric pump and the electrical control box are housed inside the cover.

[0011] A display is installed on the housing, and the display is connected to the controller output.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. Flexible Adaptability, Expanded Disinfection Range: This pigsty disinfection robot employs extendable and tilting robotic arms (tilting and telescopic arms) and electric push rods (tilting and telescopic push rods). These components work together to flexibly adjust the angle and length of the robotic arms. In pigsties of different sizes, the position of the spraying device can be adjusted according to the actual space, achieving uniform spray coverage across multiple areas, effectively expanding the disinfection range and ensuring thorough disinfection of every corner of the pigsty.

[0014] 2. Optimized layout for uniform disinfection: Equipped with multiple fan-shaped nozzles, the nozzle layout is optimized through fluid simulation. This design allows the disinfectant to cover the pigsty space more evenly after spraying, greatly reducing missed areas and improving the uniformity and reliability of disinfection, creating a safer and more hygienic environment for the pigsty.

[0015] 3. Compact and lightweight, highly mobile: The overall design is compact and lightweight, featuring a wheeled chassis with a folding telescopic arm. This design allows the robot to move easily in confined or complex pigsty environments, navigating narrow passageways and around pig pens with ease. Compared to traditional large disinfection robots, it significantly improves mobility and greatly enhances disinfection efficiency.

[0016] 4. Excellent protection, reducing equipment failure: Part of the machine body is encased in a shell, housing components such as the first and second medicine tanks, electric pump, and electrical control box. The shell effectively prevents water and dust intrusion, allowing the robot to better adapt to the harsh, humid, and dusty environment of pigsties. This reduces the likelihood of equipment failure due to moisture and dust intrusion, extends equipment lifespan, lowers maintenance costs, and ensures the continuous and stable operation of disinfection work.

[0032] 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.

[0033] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a pigsty disinfection robot includes a wheeled chassis 1. A support 4, a first medicine tank 11, and an electric pump 12 are mounted on the wheeled chassis 1. A spraying device is provided on one or both sides of the support 4. The spraying device includes a tilting arm 5, a tilting push rod 7, and multiple first nozzles 8. The tilting arm 5 and the telescopic arm 6 described below are both made of square tubing. One end of the tilting arm 5 is hinged to the support 4. Both ends of the tilting push rod 7 are hinged to the tilting arm 5 and the support 4, respectively. The first nozzles 8 are mounted on the tilting arm 5. The first medicine tank 11 is connected to each of the first nozzles 8 via pipes. The electric pump 12 is mounted on the pipes. Figure 7 As shown, the first nozzle 8 and the second nozzle described below have the same structure, both of which are fan-shaped spray nozzles. The flip push rod 7 and the telescopic push rod described below are electric push rods.

[0034] When in use, after the wheeled chassis 1 enters the pigsty, the flipping push rod 7 drives the flipping arm 5 to rotate to the set angle. Then the electric pump 12 starts, drawing disinfectant from the first medicine tank 11 and spraying it out from multiple first nozzles 8. At the same time, the wheeled chassis 1 travels along the preset route, spraying as it goes in the pigsty.

[0035] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, it also includes a telescopic arm 6, a telescopic push rod 9, and a top block 15. One end of the telescopic arm 6 is inserted into the tilting arm 5, and the telescopic push rod 9 is installed in one end of the tilting arm 5. The piston rod of the telescopic push rod 9 is connected to the top block 15 located in the telescopic arm 6. Multiple second nozzles 10 are connected to the part of the telescopic arm 6 that protrudes from the tilting arm 5.

[0036] like Figures 8 to 11 As shown, when it is necessary to expand the disinfection range, the flipping push rod 7 drives the flipping arm 5 to rotate to a set angle, and the telescopic push rod 9 extends the telescopic arm 6 from the flipping arm 5, allowing the medicine to be sprayed out from each of the second nozzles to expand the disinfection range of the pigsty.

[0037] like Figure 1 and 12 As shown, a second medicine tank 13 is provided on the wheeled chassis 1. The second medicine tank 13 is connected to the electric pump 12 via a pipeline. A normally closed solenoid valve 17 is installed on the pipeline connecting the electric pump 12 to the first medicine tank 11 and the second medicine tank 13.

[0038] Before implementation, the first medicine box is filled with disinfectant such as Viagra, and the second medicine box 13 is filled with anti-mold solution such as Clotrimazole. During implementation, the normally closed solenoid valve 17 corresponding to the second medicine box 13 is opened first, and the electric pump 12 draws Clotrimazole to spray the pigsty. After 1 hour, the effect of Clotrimazole is fully exerted. Then, the normally closed solenoid valve 17 corresponding to the first medicine box 11 is energized and opened, and the other normally closed solenoid valve 17 is closed, and Viagra is sprayed into the pigsty. In this way, only one robot is needed to complete the anti-mold and disinfection process of the pigsty.

[0039] Flow meters 16 are installed on the pipes connecting the electric pump 12 to the first medicine tank 11 and the second medicine tank 13.

[0040] It also includes two liquid level sensors 18 respectively installed on the first medicine tank 11 and the second medicine tank 13, and an electrical control box installed on the wheeled chassis 1. The electrical control box is equipped with a controller, the flow meter 16 and the liquid level sensors 18 are connected to the input end of the controller, and the electric pump 12 is connected to the output end of the controller. The electric pump 12 is a variable frequency pump, and the controller is a CLC-16R Internet of Things controller. The controller has a built-in 4G communication module, and the controller is wirelessly connected to the terminal mobile phone through the 4G communication module, so that the terminal mobile phone can set the spray flow rate.

[0041] The dosages of disinfectant and antifungal agents are different, so their flow rates need to be adjusted separately. In practice, the spraying of disinfectant and antifungal agents is switched by the normally closed solenoid valve 17, and the flow rate is detected in real time by the flow meter 16. The detection result is transmitted to the controller, and the controller adjusts the speed of the variable frequency pump according to the flow rate value to maintain the spray flow rate within the set range.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, a stainless steel casing 2 is mounted on the wheeled chassis 1, and the first medicine tank 11, the second medicine tank 13, the electric pump 12, and the electrical control box are housed inside the casing 2. This makes the device waterproof and dustproof, adaptable to the humid and dusty environment of pigsties, and reduces the equipment failure rate.

[0043] A display 3 is provided on the housing 2, and the display 3 is connected to the output of the controller. The display 3 is used to display the liquid level of the medicine in the first medicine tank 11 and the second medicine tank 13, the set flow rate, and the status of the normally closed solenoid valve 17, which is convenient for on-site personnel to use.

[0044] The embodiments described in this specification are merely examples of implementations of the inventive concept. The scope of protection of this utility model should not be considered as limited to the specific forms described in the embodiments. The scope of protection of this utility model also extends to equivalent technical means that can be conceived by those skilled in the art based on the inventive concept.
