Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding facilities technology, and in particular to a novel pen for drying and ventilating breeding pigs. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern animal husbandry, pigsties, as an important infrastructure for pig production, play a vital role in improving pig farming efficiency, ensuring pig health, and reducing environmental pollution through their design and management. Traditional pigsty design and management methods have many shortcomings, such as poor ventilation, improper temperature and humidity control, and untimely manure treatment. These problems not only affect the growth performance and health of pigs but may also lead to environmental pollution and the spread of diseases.

[0003] Currently, poor air circulation in pigsties can easily lead to the accumulation of harmful gases (such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide), affecting the respiratory health of pigs. In addition, poor ventilation can also make it difficult to control temperature and humidity, affecting the comfort and growth performance of pigs.

[0004] Therefore, we designed a new type of dry and well-ventilated pen for breeding pigs to meet the needs of practical applications. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology by proposing a new type of dry and well-ventilated pigsty for breeding pigs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Design a new type of dry and ventilated pen for breeding pigs, including a base, characterized in that: a wall is built on the top of the base, and louvers are installed through the middle of the surface of the wall. Humidity sensors and gas detection sensors are installed and fixed on the louvers. Several columns are fixed along the corners of the upper end of the base, and the upper ends of the several columns are fixed with the same canopy.

[0008] One side of the wall is built with an integral corridor, and the corridor has a door on the outward side. A door panel is installed on the outside of the corridor by hinges, and the door panel fits against one side of the corridor and covers the door.

[0009] The lower end of the base is fixedly built with several raised blocks (first type), and the lower end of the corridor is fixedly built with several raised blocks (second type).

[0010] In detail, the upper part of the base is fixed with several partition walls, and a feeding area is set between adjacent partition walls. The center of the feeding area is flat ground, and the two sides of the feeding area are manure-leaking sections.

[0011] In detail, the surface of the manure-leaking section is provided with manure-leaking holes, and a grid plate for manure leakage is fixedly embedded inside the manure-leaking holes. The inclination angle of the grid plate is 5 to 8 degrees.

[0012] In detail, several air ducts are fixedly installed through the surface of the ceiling, and a fan is fixed at the upper end of the air duct. The surface of the fan casing is coated with a nano-hydrophobic coating.

[0013] In detail, the upper part of the canopy is also fixed with several baffles. The baffles are right-angled bent structures. Their lower vertical positions are fixed to the canopy with screws, and their horizontal positions are aligned with the top of the fan.

[0014] In detail, the upper part of the canopy is covered with several solar panels, and there are gaps between the solar panels and the canopy. The interior of the gaps contains a solar controller, a battery and an inverter installed on the back of the solar panels, and the solar panels, solar controller, battery and inverter are connected to each other by wires.

[0015] In detail, a control device is fixed on the inner wall of the corridor. The control device includes a control panel and a processor. The processor is connected to the humidity sensor, the gas detection sensor and the fan through lines. The control panel is connected to the processor through a data cable. The inverter is connected to the processor through a data cable.

[0016] The design scheme proposed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects in application:

[0017] 1. This solution utilizes the perforated ventilation design principle of the slatted grating to allow air circulation between the top and bottom of the slatted grating. It is a low-cost, high-efficiency pen structure that automatically regulates humidity and ventilation, thereby improving the health environment for the pigs.

[0018] 2. As described in point 1, the system monitors indoor humidity and ammonia concentration in real time using humidity and gas sensors on the louvers. The data is fed back to the processor for analysis, which automatically adjusts the fan operation. When the humidity exceeds 65% or the ammonia concentration exceeds 15 ppm, the system activates negative pressure ventilation to expel stale air and introduce fresh air, effectively maintaining a dry, low-ammonia environment in the pigsty. This intelligent ventilation design not only reduces human intervention but also significantly lowers the risk of respiratory diseases, improving the health of the pig herd and increasing breeding efficiency.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 A novel dry and ventilated pigsty for breeding pigs includes a base 1, a wall 11 built on top of the base 1, and louvers 12 installed through the middle of the surface of the wall 11. Humidity sensors and gas detection sensors are installed and fixed on the blades of the louvers 12. Several columns 13 are fixed along the corners of the upper end of the base 1, and the same roof 14 is fixed to the upper end of the columns 13. The humidity and concentration of other gases such as ammonia in the room can be detected by the temperature sensor and the gas detection sensor. The detected data is fed back to the processor for analysis and comparison. If the conditions are exceeded, the fan 31 is started to draw out the air in the room and fresh air is introduced through the louvers 12 to achieve negative pressure ventilation and ensure that the air conditions in the pigsty reach a breeding environment with humidity ≤65% and ammonia concentration ≤15ppm.

[0026] A corridor 15 with an integrated structure is built on one side of the wall 11. A doorway 16 is opened on the outward side of the corridor 15. A door panel 17 is installed on the outside of the corridor 15 by door hinges. The door panel 17 fits against one side of the corridor 15 and covers the doorway 16, which facilitates the setting of feeding troughs inside the corridor 15 and the movement of workers.

[0027] Several raised blocks 18 are fixedly built at the lower end of the base 1, and several raised blocks 29 are fixedly built at the lower end of the corridor 15. The raised blocks 18 and 29 can suspend the entire pigsty, so that the position of the manure-leaking grating 22 can be open to the ground. In the space formed by the grating 22 and the ground, a mobile manure scraping device can also be installed, which is based on the movement of the screw and the scraper scraping material as an auxiliary. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail in the attached drawings. The actual size is also a non-standard structure, which can be used in actual production according to the size of the space.

[0028] It should be further explained that several partition walls 2 are fixedly distributed on the upper part of the base 1, and a feeding area is set between adjacent partition walls 2. The center of the feeding area is flat ground, and the two sides of the feeding area are manure leakage sections. The partition walls 2 can divide the space and prevent pigs from crowding together.

[0029] It should be further noted that the surface of the manure leakage section is provided with manure leakage holes 21, and a grid plate 22 for manure leakage is fixedly embedded inside the manure leakage holes 21. The inclination angle of the grid plate 22 is 5 to 8 degrees, which facilitates the leakage of manure.

[0030] It should be further explained that several air ducts 3 are fixedly installed through the surface of the roof 14. A fan 31 is fixed at the upper end of the air duct 3. The surface of the fan 31 is coated with a nano-hydrophobic coating. When ventilation is required, the fan 31 extracts harmful gases and moisture from the pigsty for ventilation.

[0031] It should be further noted that several baffles 32 are fixed to the upper end of the canopy 14. The baffles 32 have a right-angle bent structure. Their lower vertical position is fixed to the canopy 14 with screws, and their horizontal position is set to fit directly above the fan 31, which can prevent rainwater from directly contacting the air outlet of the fan 31.

[0032] It should be further explained that the upper part of the canopy 14 is covered with several solar panels 4. There is a gap between the solar panels 4 and the canopy 14. The gap contains a solar controller, a battery and an inverter installed on the back of the solar panels 4. The solar panels 4, solar controller, battery and inverter are connected to each other by wires. Power is supplied by the solar panels 4, which can save resources.

[0033] It should be further noted that a control device 41 is fixed on the inner wall of the corridor 15. The control device 41 includes a control panel and a processor. The processor is connected to the humidity sensor, the gas detection sensor and the fan 31 through wires. The control panel is connected to the processor through a data cable. The inverter is connected to the processor through a data cable.

[0034] Operating Method: This solution achieves precise control of the pigsty environment through the integration of sensors and an automated system. Specifically, humidity sensors and gas detection sensors installed on the louvers 12 monitor the humidity and concentration of harmful gases such as ammonia in the pigsty in real time, and feed the data back to the processor in the control device 41. The processor compares the detected values ​​with preset standards of humidity ≤65% and ammonia concentration ≤15ppm. If the data exceeds the standards, the fan 31 on the ventilation duct 3 is automatically activated. When the fan is running, it creates a negative pressure environment, drawing out polluted air from the pigsty, while fresh air from outside enters through the gaps in the louvers 12, achieving efficient ventilation. In addition, the nano-hydrophobic coating on the surface of the fan 31 casing prevents water vapor corrosion and extends the equipment's lifespan. The design of the baffle 32 further protects the fan outlet from direct rainwater erosion, ensuring that the ventilation system can still operate stably in rainy weather. This closed-loop control system not only reduces the need for manual intervention but also significantly improves the air quality in the pigsty, ensuring the healthy growth of pigs.

[0035] The energy supply and manure cleaning system of the pigpen adopts a combination of green design and mechanized operation. Solar panels 4 installed on the roof 14 convert solar energy into electrical energy, which is stored and converted into usable power by a solar controller, battery, and inverter on the back, powering sensors, fans 31, and control devices 41, reducing traditional energy consumption. For manure treatment, the design of the manure-leaking section is crucial: grating plates 22 are installed at a 5°–8° angle within the manure-leaking holes 21, using gravity to allow manure to fall through the holes into the hollow area below. This area is equipped with a mobile scraper (not shown), which uses a screw drive to move the scraper horizontally, concentrating and cleaning the manure to a designated location. Simultaneously, raised blocks 18 and 19 under the base 1 and corridor 15 suspend the entire pigpen, preventing ground moisture from seeping up and providing operating space for the scraper. Independent feeding areas divided by partition walls 2 prevent overcrowding of the pigs and ensure efficient manure leakage. This design enables instant separation and automated cleaning of feces and waste, effectively reducing the risk of odor and bacterial growth in the shed.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
