[0026] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the collection assembly further includes a first sweeping wheel 5 rotatably disposed on the lower side of the driving plate 2 and located on the upper side of the shovel plate 3. The rear side of the first sweeping wheel 5 is connected to the collection box 4, which facilitates the sweeping of feces in the shovel plate 3 into the collection box 4, thereby preventing feces from accumulating in the shovel plate 3 and affecting subsequent cleaning.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a second sweeping wheel 6 is rotatably mounted on the driving plate 2. The second sweeping wheel 6 is connected to the first sweeping wheel 5 through a transmission. The first sweeping wheel 5 is driven by a gearbox 11 mounted on the driving plate 2. A drive gear 12 is installed at the output end of the gearbox 11. The second sweeping wheel 6 is located on the lower side of the collection box 4. A negative pressure port 10 for liquid suction is provided on the rear side of the second sweeping wheel 6 in the direction of movement, which facilitates the cleaning of the area after the feces are cleaned. At the same time, in conjunction with the negative pressure port 10, the flushing liquid can be collected, thereby ensuring the dryness of the ground.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cleaning assembly also includes a liquid storage tank 8 installed on the drive plate 2. A pump 9 is installed through the liquid storage tank 8. The output end of the pump 9 is connected through the spray pipe 7.

At the same time, it can rinse urine to prevent urine from remaining on the ground.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the drive unit further includes a toothed ring 13 fixedly mounted on the fence 1, and the toothed ring 13 is meshed with the drive gear 12. A drive motor 14 is installed inside the fence 1, and a drive rod 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 14. The driving plate 2 is fixedly mounted on the drive rod 15, and the toothed ring 13 and the drive rod 15 are coaxially arranged. This facilitates the rotation of the driving plate 2, thereby moving the pigs. At the same time, during the movement of the pigs, the ground can be kept clean, avoiding the presence of feces on the ground, which would affect subsequent training.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model:

[0031] refer to Figure 1 The pigs are placed inside enclosure 1, and multiple herding boards 2 create multiple spaces, ensuring that each pig is separated and avoiding overcrowding caused by a large number of pigs, which would reduce the training effect. When the herding boards 2 rotate, they effectively push the pigs to perform passive movements, thereby achieving the training purpose. Furthermore, the cleaning and collection components installed on the herding boards 2 effectively clean the ground while rotating. The specific operation is as follows:

[0032] refer to Figure 2 Turn on the drive motor 14 to drive the drive rod 15 to rotate. When the drive rod 15 rotates, the driving plate 2 mounted on the drive rod 15 rotates, thereby propelling the pig. When the driving plate 2 rotates, the drive gear 12 rotates under the meshing of the gear ring 13. (Refer to...) Figure 4When the drive gear 12 rotates, it drives the parts inside the gearbox 11 to rotate. Simultaneously, the gearbox 11 adjusts its output speed to increase it. The output of the gearbox 11 also drives the first sweeping wheel 5 and the second sweeping wheel 6 to rotate. When the shovel 3 follows the drive plate 2, it effectively scoops up feces from the ground. Combined with the rotation of the first sweeping wheel 5, it sweeps the feces remaining in the shovel 3 into the collection box 4, ensuring the shovel 3's effectiveness and preventing clogging. Inside the 3, as the driving plate 2 moves, the liquid in the storage tank 8 is pumped by the pump 9 and enters the spray pipe 7, and then sprayed onto the ground cleaned by the shovel plate 3. When the liquid remains on the ground, the second sweeping wheel 6 sweeps the ground under the drive of the first sweeping wheel 5, and at the same time mixes the urine with the cleaning liquid to dilute the urine and ensure the cleanliness of the ground. The liquid generated after sweeping is absorbed by the negative pressure port 10 and enters the collection box 4, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the ground and ensuring the training of pigs.

[0033] This invention utilizes the movement of the shovel plate 3 in conjunction with the driving plate 2 to effectively clean and tidy the ground during the pigs' movement. This ensures the cleanliness of the ground and prevents the pigs from producing large amounts of feces when startled, thus avoiding environmental pollution caused by uncollected feces. Furthermore, the coordination of the first sweeping wheel 5, the second sweeping wheel 6, and the spray pipe 7 in the equipment enables automatic cleaning during the pigs' movement, reducing manual cleaning steps and further improving the practicality of the equipment while ensuring cleanliness during movement.
