Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to a semi-open, sunlit ecological shed. Background Technology
[0002] Animal husbandry has a long history in my country. Currently, most livestock sheds have enclosed, integrated roof structures that rely on windows for lighting and ventilation. This type of structure not only affects the lighting inside the shed but also the ventilation in the summer. Moreover, the structure is complex, especially in large-scale farms, where ventilation is achieved through window panels, which requires opening and closing each panel individually, making the process cumbersome and inefficient.
[0003] Furthermore, in most parts of northern my country, the cold winters, with their low solar altitude and short daylight hours, often result in insufficient natural light in traditional livestock sheds. This is especially true on the north-facing sides of the sheds, which are often damp, cold, and receive little direct sunlight, making it difficult to meet the livestock's light requirements. This leads to slow growth and development, increased disease prevalence, and a significant impact on the reproductive performance of female animals. Sufficient natural sunlight not only aids digestion and absorption but also stimulates natural behaviors, improving physical condition and health. Therefore, livestock sheds with ample natural light are crucial for improving animal growth and reproductive performance, increasing farming efficiency, and enhancing animal welfare. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a semi-open solar ecological house. The solar ecological house has a simple structure, good heat preservation and ventilation, and can maximize the direct sunlight into the interior of the solar ecological house in winter, while minimizing the direct sunlight into the interior of the solar ecological house in summer.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A semi-open, sunlit eco-house includes a roof and a wall, wherein the wall is arranged around the roof. The wall includes a south and a second roof panel. One end of the first roof panel is connected to the north wall. The first roof panel, the north wall, and the two gable walls have doors on the gable walls. The roof includes the first roof panel with an angle of 20-24 degrees to the horizontal plane. One end of the second roof panel is connected to the south wall. The other end of the first roof panel is connected to the other end of the second roof panel through a first support structure. Both the first and second roof panels are installed on the two gable walls, and the second roof panel has an angle of 18-22 degrees to the horizontal plane.
[0007] Preferably, a first roller blind is provided at one end of the first roof panel connecting to the second roof panel. The first roller blind can be rolled up or down, and a first ventilation opening is formed between the first roof panel, the second roof panel, and the first supporting structure. When the first roller blind is rolled down, it can seal the first ventilation opening. A second supporting structure is provided between the second roof panel and the south wall. A second roller blind is provided at one end of the second roof panel near the south wall. The second roller blind can be rolled up or down, and a second ventilation opening is formed between the second roof panel, the south wall, and the second supporting structure. When the second roller blind is rolled down, it can seal the second ventilation opening.
[0008] Preferably, a first rainwater collection trough is provided at the end of the first roof panel that is connected to the north wall and extends outward, and a second rainwater collection trough is provided at the end of the second roof panel that is connected to the first roof panel.
[0009] Preferably, the first roller blind is located at the end of the first roof panel and is covered by the first roof panel, and the second roller blind is located at the end of the second roof panel and is covered by the second roof panel; when the first roller blind is lowered, the first roller blind is located on the side of the second rain collection trough away from the second roof panel.
[0010] Preferably, both the first support structure and the second support structure include a first support rod and a second support rod, with the first support rod and the second support rod located on both sides of the first roof panel and the second roof panel, respectively.
[0011] Preferably, a bracket is provided between the first support structure and the second roof panel.
[0012] Preferably, the first roof panel and the second roof panel are inclined toward one of the gable walls, and the first rainwater collection trough and the second rainwater collection trough are inclined along with the first roof panel and the second roof panel.
[0013] Preferably, when the first roof panel and the second roof panel are installed on the wall, the two sides of the first roof panel protrude from the two gable walls, and the two sides of the second roof panel and the end away from the second rainwater collection trough protrude from the two gable walls.
[0014] Preferably, it also includes a north pen and a south pen, which are arranged along the length of the first roof panel and the second roof panel. A material channel is provided between the north pen and the south pen, and material troughs are provided on both sides of the material channel. The first roof panel is located directly above the north pen, the material channel and the material trough, and the second roof panel is located directly above the south pen.
[0015] Preferably, it also includes several reinforcing frames that support the first roof panel and the second roof panel.
[0016] In the above technical solution, by setting the angle between the first roof panel and the horizontal plane to 20-24 degrees, preferably 22 degrees, the area of the solar ecological house directly exposed to sunlight at noon on the winter solstice is maximized, and the area directly exposed to sunlight at noon on the summer solstice is minimized. As the weather warms up day by day, less and less sunlight directly enters the solar ecological house. By setting the angle between the second roof panel and the horizontal plane to 18-22 degrees, preferably 20 degrees, sunlight directed towards the north wall is avoided. Furthermore, by setting up a first supporting structure to connect the first and second roof panels, the structure is simple and allows for ventilation of the solar eco-house when the temperature is high. A first roller blind is installed at the end of the first roof panel; when lowered, the first roller blind is tightly connected to the edges of the first supporting structure and the second roof panel, effectively sealing the first vent when the temperature is low, preventing cold air from directly entering the solar eco-house and thus lowering the temperature inside. A second roller blind is installed at the end of the second roof panel; this second roller blind can be rolled up or down. When ventilation or lowering the indoor temperature is needed, the second roller blind can be rolled up; when the outside temperature is low and insulation is needed, the second roller blind can be lowered. When lowered, the second roller blind is tightly connected to the second supporting structure and the south wall, sealing the second vent and further preventing cold air from entering the solar eco-house. Both the first and second supporting structures include a first support rod and a second support rod, located on opposite sides of the first roof panel, ensuring that sunlight does not block the solar eco-house from entering. Furthermore, the overall stability of the solar eco-house is increased by installing a bracket between the first support structure and the second roof panel.
[0017] By installing a first and a second rainwater collection trough, water flowing through the first and second roof panels is collected and discharged through the troughs, preventing rainwater from flowing into the solar ecological enclosure and thus affecting its temperature and humidity, which in turn impacts the health of the animals. Furthermore, when the first roller shutter is lowered, it connects to the end of the second rainwater collection trough furthest from the second roof panel, ensuring that water flowing through the second trough completely prevents it from entering the solar ecological enclosure and further enhancing its airtightness.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a semi-open solar eco-house faces south and includes a roof and a surrounding wall. The surrounding wall is arranged around the roof and includes a north wall 1, a south wall 101, and two gable walls 2. Doors 21 are provided on the gable walls. The roof includes a first roof panel 3 and a second roof panel 4. One end of the first roof panel 3 is connected to the north wall 1, and one end of the second roof panel 4 is connected to the south wall 101. The angle between the first roof panel 3 and the horizontal plane is calculated to be 20-24 degrees, preferably 22 degrees, based on the local solar altitude angle. This maximizes the area of the solar eco-house directly exposed to sunlight at noon on the winter solstice in northern regions and minimizes the area directly exposed to sunlight at noon on the summer solstice. As the weather warms up day by day, less and less sunlight directly enters the solar eco-house. The other end of the first roof panel 3 is connected to the second roof panel 4 via the first support structure 5. A second support structure 17 is provided between the south wall 101 and the second roof panel 4. Both the first support structure 5 and the second support structure 17 include a first support rod 51 and a second support rod 52. The first support rod 51 and the second support rod 52 are located on both sides of the first roof panel 3, respectively, so as not to block sunlight entering the solar eco-house. Furthermore, a bracket 6 is provided between the first support structure 5 and the second roof panel 4 to increase the overall stability of the solar eco-house. The first roof panel 3 and the second roof panel 4 are both installed on the gable walls 2 on both sides, and the angle between the second roof panel 4 and the horizontal plane is 18-22 degrees, preferably 20 degrees, to avoid blocking sunlight shining on the north wall 1.
[0024] A first roller blind 7 is provided at one end of the first roof panel 3 connecting to the second roof panel 4. The first roller blind 7 can be rolled up or down. A first ventilation opening 9 is formed between the first roof panel 3, the second roof panel 4, and the first supporting structure 5. When the first roller blind 7 is down, it is tightly connected to the edges of the first supporting structure 5 and the second roof panel 4. When the temperature is low, the first ventilation opening 9 can be sealed to prevent cold air from blowing directly into the solar eco-house, thereby reducing the temperature inside the solar eco-house. A second roller blind 8 is provided at one end of the second roof panel 4 away from the first roof panel 3. The second roller blind 8 can be rolled up or down. A second ventilation opening 10 is formed between the second roof panel 4, the south wall 101, and the second supporting structure 17. When ventilation or to reduce the indoor temperature is needed, the second roller blind 8 can be rolled up. When the outside temperature is low and insulation is needed, the second roller blind 8 can be down. When the second roller blind 8 is down, it is tightly connected to the second supporting structure 17 and the south wall 101, thus sealing the second ventilation opening 10 and further preventing cold air from entering the interior of the solar eco-house.
[0025] The sunny ecological enclosure is equipped with a north pen 13 and a south pen 14. Both the north pen 13 and the south pen 14 are set along the length of the first roof panel 3 and the second roof panel 4. A feeding passage 15 is set between the north pen 13 and the south pen 14. Feed troughs 16 are set on both sides of the feeding passage 15. The keepers feed the animals by walking in the feeding passage 15. The north pen 13 and the south pen 14 are equipped with space-saving feeding areas on both sides of the feeding passage 15.
[0026] In this embodiment, the first roller blind 7 and the second roller blind 8 can be rolled up to an appropriate size according to the needs of the external environment. The first roof panel 3 is located directly above the north pen 13, the feed channel 15 and the feed trough 16, and the second roof panel 4 is located directly above the south pen 14. Both the first roof panel 3 and the second roof panel 4 are nano panels. Nano panels have strong protective capabilities, outstanding wear resistance, antistatic properties and strong anti-fouling capabilities.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, a first rainwater collection trough 11 is provided at the end of the first roof panel 3 connected to the north wall 1, where the water flowing through the first roof panel 3 is collected and discharged. A second rainwater collection trough 12 is connected at the end of the second roof panel 4 connected to the first roof panel 3, where the water flowing through the second roof panel 4 is collected and discharged, preventing rainwater from flowing into the solar ecological enclosure and affecting its temperature and humidity, thus impacting the health of the animals. In this embodiment, a first roller blind 7 is located at the end of the first roof panel 3 and is covered by it, while a second roller blind 8 is located at the end of the second roof panel 4 and is covered by it. When the first roller blind 7 is lowered, it is located on the side of the second rainwater collection trough 12 away from the second roof panel 4, ensuring that water flowing through the second rainwater collection trough 12 does not flow into the solar ecological enclosure at all.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the first roof panel 3 and the second roof panel 4 are inclined toward one of the gable walls 2. The first rainwater collection trough 11 and the second rainwater collection trough 12 are inclined along with the first roof panel 3 and the second roof panel 4, to prevent water in the first rainwater collection trough 11 from accumulating and not flowing out in time, and water in the second rainwater collection trough 12 from accumulating and not flowing out in time, which would further reduce the temperature and increase the humidity in the solar ecological house. In this embodiment, when the first roof panel 3 and the second roof panel 4 are installed on the wall, the two sides of the first roof panel 3 protrude from the two gable walls, and the two sides and the end of the second roof panel 4 away from the second rainwater collection trough 12 protrude from the two gable walls, preventing rainwater from flowing outward along the two gable walls 2 and wetting the two gable walls 2, thereby increasing the humidity in the solar ecological house and reducing the temperature in the solar ecological house.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, several reinforcing frames are also included. These reinforcing frames are installed inside the solar eco-house and support the first roof panel 3 and the second roof panel 4, preventing damage to the first roof panel 3 and the second roof panel 4 due to the large east-west span.
[0030] This embodiment is merely an illustration of the concept and implementation of this utility model, and is not intended to limit it. Under the concept of this utility model, the technical solution without substantial changes is still within the protection scope.
