Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of feeding equipment, and more specifically, relates to a cattle shed cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] Beef cattle are warm-blooded animals without active sweat glands. During the summer, they may experience heat stress due to increased temperature and humidity in the cattle shed. Currently, the common practice is to add fans and sprinkler systems to the cattle shed to achieve cooling.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent publication number CN223110753U discloses a cattle shed with a spray cooling function, specifically disclosing the following technical content: It includes a cattle shed body, with an aisle at the middle of the bottom of the interior. Several linearly arrayed breeding pens are arranged inside the cattle shed body on both sides of the aisle. Support beams are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cattle shed body. A wind-cooling mechanism is installed at the top of the support beams and above each breeding pen. A spray cooling mechanism is also installed inside the cattle shed body and above the wind-cooling mechanism. This prior art, through the coordinated use of a PLC controller, temperature and humidity sensors, wind-cooling mechanism, and spray cooling mechanism, can automatically and promptly activate and deactivate the wind-cooling and spray cooling mechanisms when the temperature and humidity indices inside the cattle shed are at different values, eliminating the need for manual operation and achieving intelligent cattle shed management.

[0004] See also Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222764491U, which discloses a cattle shed ventilation and cooling device, specifically disclosing the following technical content: It includes a cattle shed, an air pump installed on the outer wall of the cattle shed, the output end of the air pump connected to a first bent pipe, the other end of the first bent pipe connected to a horizontal pipe, and several through holes evenly spaced at the bottom of the horizontal pipe. Multiple horizontal pipes are provided, connected by branch pipes. This relates to the field of cattle shed ventilation and cooling technology. By setting up a blowing cooling structure and a spray cooling structure, the cooling method is more flexible, allowing for selection of appropriate methods as needed. Furthermore, the blowing cooling structure and the spray cooling structure share the horizontal pipe and branch pipes, thus simplifying the device. By setting up a cold air box and placing ice blocks inside, air entering the cold air box becomes cold air, which is then drawn into the cattle shed, thus cooling the cattle shed and improving the cooling effect.

[0005] However, the existing cattle shed structures are already fixed. If the overall structure of the cattle shed is redesigned using existing technical solutions, it will easily lead to an increase in the construction cost of the cattle shed. In addition, considering that the cooling of the cattle shed is mainly for the summer (which lasts for about 3 to 4 months depending on the region), the applicant is considering adding separate and movable three-dimensional working units for cooling the cattle in the cattle shed, in conjunction with the existing ventilation facilities, so as to ensure that the cattle can cope with hot weather during the feeding process, while also improving the flexibility of cattle cooling. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a cattle shed cooling device that enables cattle to cope with hot weather during the feeding process, improves their flexibility, and facilitates cooling of the cattle.

[0029] The technical solutions described in this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] See Figures 1 to 8The cattle shed cooling device includes a cooling platform 17 placed on a horizontal plane. The cooling platform 17 is a rectangular plate with several through holes. A top plate 5 is arranged parallel to the cooling platform 17, and the cooling platform 17 and the top plate 5 are connected by a column 2. The top plate 5 is a U-shaped structure, and several distribution boxes 12 are arranged inside the top plate 5, with adjacent distribution boxes 12 arranged parallel to each other. A water tank 6 is connected to the top of the top plate 5, and the water tank 6 is connected to an external water supply pipeline through a water tank inlet pipe 7. The distribution boxes 12 are connected to the water tank 6 through water outlet pipes 13. Several branch pipes 19 are connected to the distribution boxes 12 along their length, and are respectively connected to the corresponding distribution plate 20 and shower head 21 through the branch pipes 19. The diverter plate 20 has several guide lines 18 distributed on it. The guide lines 18 are cotton threads extending downwards. The shower head 21 has several through holes that spray downwards.

[0032] In this embodiment, the cooling platform 17 can be installed above the drainage ditch of the cattle shed, so that the sprayed water can enter the drainage ditch at the bottom through the through holes of the cooling platform 17 for subsequent water treatment. The water outlet pipe 13 is connected to the bottom of the water tank 6, so that the water can enter the respective connected distribution boxes 12 through the water outlet pipe 13. The water outlet pipe 13 is located at both ends of the distribution box 12 and supplies water to the distribution box 12 at the same time.

[0033] Since there are several branch pipes 19 connected to the distribution box 12 along its length, the distribution box 12 can supply water to the respective connected distribution plate 20 and shower head 21 through the branch pipes 19. The water in the distribution plate 20 comes into contact with the cow below through the drainage line 18, and the shower head 21 sprays water onto the cow through the downward spraying holes. The two work together to improve the cooling effect on the cow.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 8 The cooling device for cattle sheds includes an inlet ramp 15 connected to the inlet of the cooling platform 17 and an outlet ramp 1 connected to the outlet of the cooling platform 17. Columns 2 can be mounted on the inlet ramp 15 and the cooling platform 17. A door panel 3 is positioned above the junction of the cooling platform 17 and the outlet ramp 1, located between adjacent columns 2. Adjacent door panels 3 are rotatably connected to their respective columns 2 via bushings. Adjacent door panels 3 can be temporarily connected via door panel pin connectors 4. Side railings 16 are provided on both sides of the cooling platform 17.

[0036] The diversion plate 20 is located at the bottom end of the branch pipe 19, and the diversion plate 20 includes a base plate 25 and a top plate 26. The branch pipe 19 has through holes machined on the circumferential side near the bottom surface of the base plate 25. The circumferential edge of the base plate 25 is bent upward to form an obtuse-angle edge structure. Several notches are machined on the edge structure to accommodate the drainage line 18. The drainage line 18 extends through the notches into the base plate 25 and is riveted to the inner wall of the edge structure of the base plate 25. The bottom end of the drainage line 18 extends away from the base plate 25 and is gathered at the end by a cotton thread. The top plate 26 is fastened to the top of the base plate 25, and a temporary water-containing structure is formed between the base plate 25 and the top plate 26 to facilitate the downward flow of water through the drainage line 18.

[0037] The diverter plate 20 and the shower head 21 are alternately arranged along the length of the distribution box 12.

[0038] The structure and connection relationships of the remaining parts are the same as those described in the foregoing embodiments. Those skilled in the art can understand and apply the technical solutions described in this embodiment based on the foregoing embodiments.

[0039] In this embodiment, the cooling platform 17, side railing 16, pillar 2, and top plate 5 constitute a three-dimensional working unit for cooling the cattle. When the cattle enter the three-dimensional working unit, their activity space can be appropriately limited, facilitating maximum water spraying and cooling. The drainage line 18, made of cotton, guides the water from the diversion plate 20 and branch pipe 19 directly downwards to the cattle during contact, preventing water from scattering in the surrounding space. Simultaneously, the shower head 21 in this application cools the surrounding area of ​​the three-dimensional working unit, working in conjunction with the drainage line 18 to enhance the cooling effect on the cattle. The inlet ramp 15 and outlet ramp 1 described in this embodiment facilitate the cattle's entry into and exit from the cooling platform 17. The door panel pin 4, in conjunction with the door panel 3, temporarily hinders the cattle's forward movement. Once cooling is complete, the pin in the door panel pin 4 can be removed to open the door panel 3.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 8The cattle shed cooling device includes a water tank 6 with symmetrically arranged medicine distribution cylinders 22 along its length. Each medicine distribution cylinder 22 has a hollow cylindrical structure and several medicine distribution holes 23 located in its middle and upper parts. The water tank 6 is connected to a medicine tank 9 via a medicine tank support 8. The medicine tank 9 extends into the medicine distribution cylinders 22 via a dosing pipe 10, reaching above the bottom surface of the medicine distribution cylinders 22. A medicine distribution drive plate 24 is located on the bottom surface of the medicine distribution cylinders 22. The medicine distribution drive plate 24 is connected to the output shaft of a stirring motor 11 via a shaft. The stirring motor 11 is located on the top surface of the water tank 6. The top surface of the medicine distribution drive plate 24 has several arc-shaped stirring plates. The outlet of the dosing pipe 10 is located above the medicine distribution drive plate 24. The top surface of the water tank 6 also has an inspection port for worker maintenance, which is covered by a plate when not in use. The water outlet pipe 13 has several pipe body connectors 14 distributed along its length, and is connected to the top plate 5 through the pipe body connectors 14.

[0042] The structure and connection relationships of the remaining parts are the same as those described in the foregoing embodiments. Those skilled in the art can understand and apply the technical solutions described in this embodiment based on the foregoing embodiments.

[0043] In this embodiment, the medicine tank 9 can temporarily store the medicine solution, and a shut-off valve can be installed between the medicine tank 9 and the dosing pipe 10 or on the dosing pipe 10 to facilitate the delivery and temporary stopping of the medicine solution. The dosing pipe 10 delivers the medicine solution from the medicine tank 9 to the bottom of the dosing cylinder 22. Since the dosing hole 23 on the dosing cylinder 22 is a certain distance from the bottom, the medicine solution will fully contact the water in the water tank 6 through the dosing hole 23 under the action of the dosing drive plate 24. The dosing drive plate 24 rotates under the drive of the stirring motor 11 to continuously achieve contact between the water in the water tank 6 and the medicine solution in the dosing cylinder 22, which facilitates the dosing of medicine in the water tank 6. A shut-off valve is installed on the water outlet pipe 13 to control the water outlet in the water tank 6. In this embodiment, there can be four medicine tanks 9, and each pair of medicine tanks 9 can be connected to the corresponding dosing cylinder 22 through the dosing pipe 10. There are two dosing cylinders 22, which are symmetrically arranged along the length of the water tank 6. The top plate 5 is connected to the water outlet pipe 13 through several pipe connectors 14 on both sides to improve the fixing effect of the water outlet pipe 13.

[0044] Finally, although the technical solutions in this application are described in accordance with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features or rearrange and combine the technical solutions in the above embodiments under the conditions of the prior art they have mastered. These can still be regarded as extensions of the technical solutions in this application and are still within the protection scope of this application.
