Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mobile pigsty technology, specifically a mobile pigsty that facilitates pigs to eat fresh vegetable scraps. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most mobile pigsties feed finished pelleted feed or mix pelleted feed with water to form a liquid feed, without considering the collection and utilization of vegetable waste from surrounding farmers, thus failing to achieve a true crop-livestock cycle. Existing literature CN2024204449409 discloses an intelligent mobile pigsty that does not occupy arable land, allowing it to move between fields without encroaching on farmland. However, this pigsty still does not consider using vegetable waste for feeding. Even if it does consider collecting and utilizing vegetable waste, the recycling is limited to the area near where the pigsty is built. Collecting and utilizing vegetable waste from areas relatively far from the pigsty is inconvenient and incurs high labor costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of one or more shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a mobile pigsty that facilitates pigs to eat fresh vegetable scraps.
[0004] The present invention provides the following technical solution.
[0005] A mobile pigsty for facilitating pigs' access to fresh vegetable scraps includes a base frame, a horizontal frame fixedly mounted on the top of the base frame, a pigsty frame fixedly mounted on the top of the horizontal frame, a grid panel fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the pigsty frame, a fence fixedly mounted on the inner bottom wall of the pigsty frame, an mounting frame fixedly mounted on the top of the pigsty frame and to the side of the fence, a canopy fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame, a feeding trough fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame, a feed dispenser slidably mounted on the middle section of the mounting frame via a sliding rod, and a movable drag chain movably mounted on one side of the feed dispenser; a mesh screen fixedly mounted around the pigsty frame, and doors hydraulically driven to be mounted on one side, the front, and the back of the pigsty frame, with ventilation windows embedded in the surface of the doors; a surrounding panel fixedly mounted around the base frame, the base frame and the surrounding panel forming a manure collection chamber, a manure discharge valve fixedly mounted on the side of the manure collection chamber, and a manure scraping assembly installed inside the manure collection chamber.
[0006] Preferably, the cross-section of the cross frame is Y-shaped, a gate is hinged to one side of the fence, and a photovoltaic power generation system is fixedly installed on the top of the pigsty frame.
[0007] Preferably, the manure scraping assembly includes a herringbone plate, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cross frame. Side plates are fixedly installed at both ends of the herringbone plate, and the side plates are fixedly installed to the inner wall of the bottom frame.
[0008] Preferably, a reciprocating lead screw is rotatably mounted between the two side plates, one end of the reciprocating lead screw is fixedly mounted to the output end of a servo motor, and the servo motor is fixedly mounted on the side of the side plate.
[0009] Preferably, the reciprocating lead screw is threaded to the outer side with a lead screw sleeve, and pressure sensors are embedded on both sides of the lead screw sleeve. An intermediate plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the lead screw sleeve, and a scraper is movably installed on the bottom of the intermediate plate through a hinge. The scraper is in contact with the bottom wall of the manure collection chamber, and a limiting plate for restricting the scraper is fixedly installed on the back of the intermediate plate.
[0010] Preferably, a ring plate is fixedly fitted at one end of the lead screw sleeve, and extension rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the ring plate. An oblique scraper is fixedly installed at the other end of the extension rod, and the oblique scraper is attached to the outer surface of the herringbone plate.
[0011] Preferably, an electric push rod is hinged to the side of the ring plate, and the other end of the electric push rod is hinged to the vertical plate, which is fixedly installed in the middle section of the top of the scraper. Beneficial effects
[0012] This mobile pigsty, which facilitates pigs' access to fresh vegetable waste, combines the advantages of being able to move at any time by combining the mobile pigsty with a delivery truck. It can be used to process vegetable waste in different areas. The pigsty can be moved to the area in need based on the vegetable waste situation and local vegetable planting conditions in each region, so as to process vegetable waste from various places and achieve the goal of making full use of resources. If the vegetable waste in a certain area has been collected and used, it is only necessary to move the pigsty to find the next place where vegetable waste is abundant.
[0013] This invention facilitates the collection of pig excrement, specifically in the manure collection chamber below the grid panel. A manure discharge valve is pre-installed at the end of the manure collection chamber, allowing the manure to be discharged through the valve's interface. When this mobile pigsty is relocated to areas with poor soil fertility, the manure can be discharged and fermented to provide organic fertilizer for local farmers or fields.
[0014] This mobile pigpen, designed to facilitate fresh vegetable scraps for pigs, uses a servo motor to drive a reciprocating screw, which in turn drives the screw sleeve, intermediate plate, scraper, and oblique scraper to move back and forth. The scraper pushes manure from the bottom wall of the manure collection chamber to the vicinity of the manure discharge valve extension pipe for easy discharge. The oblique scraper removes residue from the top of the herringbone plate, reducing manure hardening. When the scraper returns to its original position, an electric push rod rotates the vertical plate around the hinge axis, causing the scraper to rotate from vertical to horizontal. This ensures that residual manure is not pushed deep into the manure collection chamber during the return. The electric push rod then pulls the scraper back to its vertical position for the next manure scraping. During the movement and manure pushing, the scraper is resisted by a limit plate, preventing excessive tilting due to increased resistance after scraping a large amount of manure, thus achieving rapid manure discharge.

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 A mobile pigsty is designed to facilitate pigs' access to fresh vegetable scraps. The mobile pigsty is used in conjunction with a truck or van (i.e., the mobile pigsty includes a vehicle body and pigsties mounted on it, with a vehicle load capacity of at least 10 tons). The rear of the truck or van is also equipped with equipment corresponding to the mobile pigsty, such as a pulper, mixing tank, feed bin, water tank, and pump. The pigsty includes a base frame 10, with a cross-section 20 fixedly installed on top of the base frame 10. The cross-section of the cross-section 20 is Y-shaped. A pigsty frame 30 is fixedly installed on top of the cross-section 20. A photovoltaic power generation system is fixedly installed on top of the pigsty frame 30. A fan and atomizing nozzles are also fixedly installed at the bottom of the roof panel of the photovoltaic power generation system. This photovoltaic power generation system is a mature existing technology and can be directly purchased and used.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 A grid plate 40 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the pigsty frame 30, a fence 50 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the pigsty frame 30, a door is hinged to one side of the fence 50, and an mounting bracket 60 is fixedly installed on the top of the pigsty frame 30 and on the side of the fence 50.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-5A canopy 70 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 60, and a feeding trough 80 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the mounting frame 60. A feed dispenser 90 is slidably installed on the middle section of the mounting frame 60 via a slide rod. This feed dispenser 90 is an existing mature product that can be purchased and used directly. A movable drag chain 100 is movably installed on one side of the feed dispenser 90. After the leftover vegetables are crushed in the pulper at the rear of the vehicle, they are put into the mixing tank, feed, and water and mixed. After mixing, the mixture is pumped into a hose through the pump body. The hose is connected to the cutting pump through a connector, passes through the movable drag chain 100, enters the feed dispenser 90, and enters the feeding trough 80 through the discharge port under the robot.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 The feed dispenser 90 is designed to evenly distribute feed into the troughs, preventing uneven feed intake by the pigs. Similarly, water used for cleaning the pulper and mixer is pumped into the feed trough 80. Water is supplied locally by the location of the mobile pigsty, using a water pipe or hose connected to the pre-installed water inlet. Electricity is provided by solar panels mounted on the roof of the pigsty and a generator mounted on the vehicle.
[0030] The main purpose of this mobile pigsty is to dispose of vegetable waste from various locations, thereby making full use of resources. If the vegetable waste in a certain location has been recycled and used up, we will consider moving to another location to find a place where vegetable waste is abundant.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-5 The pigsty frame 30 is fixedly installed with mesh screens around its perimeter. Door panels 110 are installed on one side, as well as on the front and back sides of the pigsty frame 30 via hydraulic drive. An exhaust fan is also embedded in the door panel 110 on the side closer to the front of the vehicle. The door panel 110 on the side closer to the front of the vehicle is not opened frequently. If it is opened, the entire pigsty is hoisted to the ground before the door panel 110 is opened. Ventilation windows 120 are embedded in the surface of the door panel 110.
[0032] In spring and autumn, when the weather is cool and the temperature is suitable, the hydraulic supports of the two side doors 110 can be opened to allow for natural ventilation. At night, when the air temperature is lower than the minimum suitable temperature for feeding pigs, the hydraulic control of the door 110 can be lowered and the ventilation window 120 above the door 110 can be opened to achieve the most energy-efficient and most suitable conditions for pig growth.
[0033] When summer temperatures are high, the 110mm hydraulic doors on both sides open to their maximum size. Due to the abundance of mosquitoes in summer, the mesh screen in the pigsty frame (30mm) effectively prevents mosquitoes from entering while maintaining ventilation and heat dissipation. Simultaneously, fans powered by photovoltaic energy work in conjunction with indoor misting nozzles for multi-directional integrated cooling.
[0034] When temperatures are low in winter, the hydraulically controlled door panel 110 is lowered and kept closed. Ventilation is achieved through the ventilation windows 120 and a small exhaust fan at the rear. The number of doors to be opened and their opening angles are selected based on breeding experience to ensure good air circulation inside the pigsty without losing temperature. The door panel 110 can also be opened manually to save costs, as most small and medium-sized farmers do not have much capital to spend on expensive equipment.
[0035] Please see Figure 1-5 The bottom frame 10 is fixedly installed with a surrounding panel 130. The bottom frame 10 and the surrounding panel 130 constitute a manure collection chamber. A manure discharge valve 140 is fixedly installed on the side of the manure collection chamber. A manure scraping assembly is installed inside the manure collection chamber.
[0036] This mobile pigsty takes into account the crop-livestock cycle mechanism and adopts a water-flushing manure mode to collect the pigs' excrement and urine. Specifically, there is a manure collection chamber below the grid plate 40, and a manure discharge valve 140 is reserved at the end of the manure collection chamber. The manure can be discharged through the interface of the manure discharge valve 140. When this mobile pigsty is moved to an area with poor soil fertility, the manure can be discharged and fermented to provide organic fertilizer for local farmers or fields.
[0037] Please see Figure 6-9 The manure scraping assembly includes a herringbone plate 150, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cross frame 20. Side plates 151 are fixedly installed at both ends of the herringbone plate 150, and the side plates 151 are fixedly installed to the inner wall of the bottom frame 10.
[0038] Please see Figure 6-9 A reciprocating lead screw 152 is rotatably mounted between the two side plates 151. One end of the reciprocating lead screw 152 is fixedly mounted to the output end of the servo motor 153. The servo motor 153 is fixedly mounted on the side of the side plate 151.
[0039] Please see Figure 6-9 The reciprocating lead screw 152 is threadedly connected to a lead screw sleeve 154. Pressure sensors 155 are embedded on both sides of the lead screw sleeve 154. An intermediate plate 156 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the lead screw sleeve 154. A scraper 158 is movably installed on the bottom of the intermediate plate 156 through a hinge shaft 157. The scraper 158 is in contact with the bottom wall of the manure collection chamber. A limiting plate 159 is fixedly installed on the back of the intermediate plate 156 to limit the scraper 158.
[0040] Please see Figure 6-9 One end of the lead screw sleeve 154 is fixedly fitted with a ring plate 1510. Extension rods 1511 are fixedly installed on both sides of the ring plate 1510. An oblique scraper 1512 is fixedly installed on the other end of the extension rod 1511. The oblique scraper 1512 is attached to the outer surface of the herringbone plate 150.
[0041] Please see Figure 6-9 An electric push rod 1513 is hinged to the side of the ring plate 1510. The other end of the electric push rod 1513 is hinged to the vertical plate 1514. The vertical plate 1514 is fixedly installed in the middle section of the top of the scraper 158.
[0042] Working principle: When scraping manure, the servo motor 153 drives the reciprocating screw 152 to rotate. The reciprocating screw 152 then drives the screw sleeve 154, the intermediate plate 156, the scraper 158, and the inclined scraper 1512 to move back and forth. The scraper 158 can scrape and push the manure on the bottom wall of the manure collection chamber to the vicinity of the extension pipe of the manure discharge valve 140 for easy discharge.
[0043] The oblique scraper 1512 can scrape away the residue on the top of the herringbone plate 150, reducing the hardening of feces. When the scraper 158 returns to its original position, the electric push rod 1513 pushes the vertical plate 1514 to rotate around the hinge shaft 157, and then the scraper 158 will rotate from vertical to horizontal. This ensures that when the scraper 158 returns to its original position, it will not push the residual feces into the depth of the feces collection room. Then, the electric push rod 1513 will pull the scraper 158 back to the vertical position for easy scraping of feces next time. When the scraper 158 moves to push feces, the scraper 158 is resisted by the limiting plate 159, ensuring that the scraper 158 will not tilt excessively due to the increased resistance after scraping more feces, thus achieving rapid discharge of feces.
[0044] When the reciprocating lead screw 152 moves to the end of the lead screw after removing the lead screw sleeve 154, the pressure sensor 155 presses against the side plate 151 or the servo motor 153. Then the PLC controller will control the servo motor 153 to stop running or flip. When the scraper 158 returns to its original position, the PLC controller will also control the electric push rod 1513 to extend, so that the scraper 158 rotates horizontally.
[0045] The manure collection chamber of this application is designed with a relatively deep trough to ensure that manure does not submerge the reciprocating screw 152, or, based on visual inspection, when a large amount of manure is observed to have accumulated, the manure is scraped off. The manure and urine excreted by the pigs are collected in the manure collection chamber below the grid plate 40. A manure discharge valve 140 is pre-installed at the end of the lower manure collection chamber, allowing the manure to be discharged through its interface. When this mobile pigsty is relocated to areas with poor soil fertility, the manure can be discharged and fermented to provide organic fertilizer for local farmers or fields.
