[0002] In the crocodile farming industry, maintaining a clean and hygienic farming environment is crucial for ensuring the healthy growth of crocodiles and preventing the spread of disease. Effective cleaning and collection of crocodile feces is one of the important tasks in maintaining a good farming environment. Common flooring types in crocodile farming ponds are cement and earthen floors. Cement floors are easy to clean and maintain, keeping the pond hygienic. At the same time, their smooth surface prevents crocodiles from climbing and escaping, improving the safety of the farming process. Earthen pond floors are closer to the crocodiles' natural living environment, which is conducive to their growth and development.

[0003] In traditional crocodile farms with concrete floors, manure removal is mostly done manually. Farmers must wear protective gear and use tools to enter the crocodile ponds and manually shovel out the manure. This method is not only labor-intensive but also extremely inefficient. Because crocodiles are aggressive, there are significant safety risks during manual cleaning. Farmers may be attacked by crocodiles if they are not careful, endangering their lives. Therefore, we propose a crocodile manure collector. Utility Model Content

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a crocodile farming manure collector, comprising:

[0028] Crocodile breeding pond 1, with a water trough 2 opened in the inner bottom wall of crocodile breeding pond 1;

[0029] Feces cleaning structure, located on crocodile breeding pond 1;

[0030] The manure cleaning structure includes a drive motor 6, a manure scraper 3, and a threaded rod 8. A sliding groove 15 is provided on the inner wall of the crocodile breeding tank 1. The threaded rod 8 is rotatably connected inside the sliding groove 15. The drive motor 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the crocodile breeding tank 1. The output end of the drive motor 6 extends rotatably into the sliding groove 15 and is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 8. A sliding block 13 is threaded onto the outer surface of the threaded rod 8. The sliding block 13 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 15. The manure scraper 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block 13. The bottom of the manure scraper 3 is slidably connected to the inner bottom wall of the crocodile breeding tank 1. A discharge port 12 is provided at the top of the crocodile breeding tank 1. A manure collection trough 9 is provided on the side of the crocodile breeding tank 1 closest to the drive motor 6. The manure collection trough 9 communicates with the interior of the discharge port 12.

[0031] The fecal cleaning structure also includes two electric push rods 11 and a rotating plate 10. The rotating plate 10 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fecal collection tank 9. Both electric push rods 11 are rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the fecal collection tank 9. The telescopic ends of both electric push rods 11 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 10. A sealing door 7 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fecal collection tank 9.

[0032] A limiting plate 5 is fixedly connected inside the crocodile breeding pond 1. A baffle 4 is placed inside the crocodile breeding pond 1. The baffle 4 is attached to the inner wall of the crocodile breeding pond 1. A through groove 14 is opened on one side of the baffle 4. The limiting plate 5 is slidably connected to the through groove 14. The limiting plate 5 has an "L" shaped structure. A handle 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 4.

[0033] Furthermore, when it is necessary to clean the inside of the crocodile breeding pond 1, the user holds the handle 16 and lifts the baffle 4 upward, so that the baffle 4 can be separated from the limiting plate 5 through the through groove 14, and thus the baffle 4 can be removed from the inside of the crocodile breeding pond 1. Then, by connecting an external power source to start the drive motor 6, the drive motor 6 will drive the threaded rod 8 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 8 will drive the sliding block 13 to move under the guidance inside the sliding groove 15. The movement of the sliding block 13 will drive the feces scraper 3 to slide inside the crocodile breeding pond 1, so as to scrape the feces on the bottom wall of the crocodile breeding pond 1.

[0034] Furthermore, by connecting to an external power source and activating two electric push rods 11, the retraction of the two electric push rods 11 will cause the rotating plate 10 to rotate, thereby facilitating the opening of the sealing door 7 and placing the feces collection box into the feces collection trough 9. This allows the scraped feces to be pushed into the collection box for collection. After the feces are collected, the two crocodile breeding ponds 1 can drive the rotating plate 10 to reset and seal the discharge port 12. At the same time, the feces scraper 3 is reset and attached to the inner wall of the crocodile breeding pond 1. The feces in the water in the water tank 2 will be discharged along with the water during subsequent water changes, without the need for separate cleaning.

[0035] With the cooperation of the threaded rod 8, sliding block 13, manure scraper 3, rotating plate 10 and electric push rod 11, the two electric push rods 11 can drive the rotating plate 10 to rotate and open, so that the manure scraper 3 can discharge the manure from the discharge port 12 into the manure collection trough 9 for collection. This eliminates the need for staff to enter the breeding pond to clean and collect the manure, further improving the safety of crocodile manure cleaning.
