Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry breeding sheds, specifically to a cleaning device for poultry breeding sheds. Background Technology

[0002] Poultry sheds are the core facilities for large-scale poultry farming, such as chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys. Their design and management directly affect the health of the poultry, production efficiency, and economic benefits. During the farming process, poultry sheds generate a large amount of poultry manure and feed residue. Especially for poultry raised in nets or cages, manure and feed residue falling to the ground can easily lead to excessive ammonia levels or other problems if not cleaned promptly, affecting the health of the poultry.

[0003] Traditional cleaning of livestock sheds mostly relies on manual scraping of manure, transferring it to transport vehicles for further cleaning. This method is physically demanding, and the prolonged bending over to scrape manure from under cages and netting negatively impacts the back health of the workers. Furthermore, simply scraping manure with a scraper is insufficient for effective cleaning; some manure adheres to the ground and is difficult to remove without high-pressure water spraying or direct wiping. Traditional manual cleaning is therefore inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of traditional poultry shed cleaning methods, which largely rely on manual scraping of manure onto transport vehicles for further cleaning, this method is labor-intensive. Prolonged bending and scraping of manure under cages and netting negatively impacts the back health of the workers. Furthermore, simply scraping manure with a scraper is insufficient for effective cleaning; some manure adheres to the ground and is difficult to remove without high-pressure water spraying or direct wiping. Given the low efficiency of traditional manual cleaning methods, this invention provides a cleaning device for poultry sheds.

[0005] A cleaning device for poultry sheds includes a support platform with a conveyor belt rotatably mounted on it. A breeding net is fixedly mounted above the conveyor belt. Scrapers and scrubbing drums are respectively mounted on the support platforms at both ends of the conveyor belt, which can be used to scrape off and clean dirt on the conveyor belt. A waste cart and a sewage cart are movably placed below the scrapers and scrubbing drums. A water tank is fixedly mounted next to the scrubbing drum. An agitator is installed inside the water tank. Several spray pipes are connected to the water tank, and the spray pipes are connected to several nozzles.

[0010] Furthermore, both the waste truck and the sewage truck have an upward-facing structure and are equipped with movable pulleys at the bottom. Push rods are fixedly installed on their side walls, and covered unloading ends are installed through the bottom side walls.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In poultry farming, the manure and food residue produced inside the netting fall onto the conveyor belt below. The conveyor belt is started regularly each day, allowing the manure and other waste to be scraped off by scrapers and transported away by a waste truck. Simultaneously, disinfectant is poured into a water tank, and the conveyor belt is high-pressure washed using nozzles on the short spray pipe. Combined with a scrubbing drum, the dirt adhering to the conveyor belt can be better scrubbed away, resulting in a more thorough cleaning. Wastewater generated from the spraying is transferred and treated by a waste truck. Furthermore, after the poultry are moved to another location, the nozzles on the long spray pipe can be started to high-pressure wash the netting, allowing for regular cleaning of the netting as well.

This means that it also drives the other conveyor roller 15 to rotate synchronously. The conveyor belt 2 can transport feces or food residue to one end of the scraper 4 for subsequent scraping.

[0025] A breeding net 3 is fixedly installed above the conveyor belt 2. Several connecting rods 20 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the breeding net 3. The connecting rods 20 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of two vertical plates 13 for fixing the breeding net 3. The breeding net 3 is a mesh structure with mesh holes. Feces and other waste can fall into the conveyor belt 2 below through the mesh holes. Poultry are placed inside the breeding net 3 for net raising.

[0026] Scraper 4 and washing drum 5 are respectively installed on the support platform 1 at both ends of the conveyor belt 2. They can be used to scrape off and clean the dirt on the conveyor belt 2. The scraper 4 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the base plate 12 and is slidably connected to the conveyor belt 2. One end of the scraper 4 is fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom wall of the base plate 12, and the other end is inclined and slidably connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2. When the conveyor belt 2 is conveying, the scraper 4 can scrape off the feces and other dirt on the conveyor belt 2. The scraped dirt falls onto the dirt cart 6 below.

[0027] Below the scraper 4 and the scrubbing drum 5, a waste cart 6 and a sewage cart 7 are movably placed. Both waste cart 6 and sewage cart 7 have an upward-facing structure for easy receipt of waste and sewage. Both waste cart 6 and sewage cart 7 are equipped with movable pulleys 25 at their bottom ends, which makes movement easier. Push rods 26 are fixedly installed on their side walls for easy movement by pulling the push rods 26. Covered discharge ends are provided through the bottom side walls for discharging waste or sewage.

[0028] A water tank 8 is fixedly installed next to the washing drum 5. A stirring rod 9 is installed inside the water tank 8. The water tank 8 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the base plate 12, and a drive motor 19 is also installed on the outer wall of the water tank 8 through the mounting bracket. The stirring rod 9 is installed on the output end of the drive motor 19. A covered feed end is fixedly installed through the top wall of the water tank 8. Disinfectants and cleaning solutions can enter the water tank 8 from the feed end and mix with water to spray and wash the conveyor belt 2.

[0029] The stirring rod 9 includes a stirring shaft and a stirring paddle. The stirring shaft is located on the output end of the drive motor 19, and the stirring paddle is fixedly located on the outer wall of the stirring shaft. When the drive motor 19 is started, the stirring rod 9 can evenly stir the liquid and disinfectant inside the water tank 8, resulting in more uniform mixing and better cleaning effect.

[0030] Adjustable slides 17 are provided on both sides of the through groove 14 near one end of the water tank 8. A movable frame 18 is movably installed inside the adjustable slide 17.
