Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aquaculture, specifically relating to a duck house odor monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] The duck house odor monitoring device is a monitoring device used to monitor the concentration of harmful gases such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and methane in duck houses in real time. It aims to improve the breeding environment, prevent animal diseases, and reduce environmental pollution.
[0003] Common duck house odor monitoring devices on the market work by collecting gas from inside the duck house through an air inlet, detecting it through internal sensors, and then expelling it through an air outlet. However, the environment inside a duck house is complex and chaotic, containing a large amount of debris such as feathers, dust, and feces. Ordinary duck house odor monitoring devices have poor protection performance, and their air inlets and outlets are directly exposed to the duck house environment, making them easily blocked by debris such as feathers, dust, and feces. Once the air inlet and outlet are blocked, it will seriously affect the flow of gas, causing the monitoring device to be unable to accurately collect odorous gases inside the duck house, thus affecting the monitoring effect and making the monitoring data inaccurate and unable to reflect the actual odor situation inside the duck house in a timely manner. After the monitoring device is blocked by debris, it is also inconvenient to clean. It requires staff to disassemble the entire device and clean the air inlet and outlet one by one. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the problems of poor protection and easy clogging that affect the monitoring effect of duck house odor monitoring devices during use, a new type of duck house odor monitoring device is proposed.

[0009] Furthermore, the monitoring structure includes a monitoring tube, which is fixed to the center of the front end of the support plate, and a sensor is fixed to the inner wall of the monitoring tube.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] Among the feasible methods discovered in this field, early technologies for monitoring odor in duck houses mostly adopted open gas sampling structures. These structures directly expose sensors to the duck house environment, completing gas sampling through simple air inlets. However, due to the large amount of feathers, fecal particles, and dust present in duck houses, sensor probes are easily covered by debris, leading to distorted detection data. Furthermore, frequent manual disassembly and cleaning are required, resulting in high maintenance costs.
[0021] Among the currently available feasible technologies, some devices attempt to improve the air inlet's anti-clogging capability by adding physical protective nets. These protective nets typically employ metal mesh or plastic filter structures and are installed on the outside of the air inlet to block larger particulate impurities. However, the pore size design of conventional protective nets makes it difficult to balance protective effectiveness with airflow rate. While fine-pore filters can block more impurities, they are prone to clogging due to buildup, leading to a sharp decrease in airflow and affecting monitoring sensitivity; coarse-pore filters, on the other hand, have limited protective effectiveness, allowing a significant number of fine particles to still enter the monitoring device.
[0022] Among the feasible methods discovered in this field, some technical solutions introduce a mechanical vibration cleaning mechanism to solve the problem of filter clogging. This mechanism uses a motor to drive the filter to generate high-frequency vibration, causing the attached debris to fall off. However, in the high humidity and dusty environment of duck houses, such methods are prone to rust or jamming of mechanical parts, leading to a decrease in vibration effect. Furthermore, the vibration process may interfere with the precision components of the sensor, affecting the detection accuracy.
[0023] Among the feasible methods discovered in this field, early technologies rarely considered moisture-proof design for monitoring tube protection. Humid air inside the duck house easily forms condensation on the inner wall of the monitoring tube, leading to short circuits in the sensor circuitry or decreased detection accuracy. Some improvements involve applying a waterproof coating to the inner wall of the monitoring tube, but the coating's durability is limited, and it easily peels off after long-term use, gradually losing its moisture-proof effect.
[0024] Among the currently available feasible technologies, the installation structure of monitoring devices mostly uses fixed brackets directly bolted to the duck house wall. This type of installation lacks height adjustment function, making it difficult to adapt to the monitoring needs of different duck growth stages. Furthermore, when the height of the duck house floor changes due to manure accumulation, the monitoring position of the device may deviate from the optimal gas collection area.
[0025] Among the feasible methods discovered in this field, the integration of data transmission and alarm functions is relatively low in early devices. Most devices only have local data display capabilities and cannot transmit data remotely in real time. When odor concentration exceeds the standard, it is difficult to notify management personnel in a timely manner, resulting in delayed environmental control and affecting aquaculture efficiency.
[0026] Among the currently available feasible technologies, some devices use a thickened metal shell as a protective cover to improve the impact resistance of the protective structure. However, the heavy metal shell not only increases the cost of the device, but may also generate significant noise due to collisions between ducks, causing stress to the ducks. In addition, metal is prone to rusting in humid environments, affecting the service life of the device.
[0027] Among the feasible methods discovered in this field, traditional monitoring devices often employ straight-tube air intake channels in terms of airflow guidance design, lacking effective airflow guidance. This design results in uneven gas flow velocity before entering the sensor, easily forming eddies within the channel, causing fluctuations in the detection data and making it difficult to accurately reflect the true odor concentration inside the duck house.
[0028] Among the feasible methods discovered in this field, in terms of energy consumption control of the device, early technologies mostly adopted a continuously running fan structure, keeping the fan running regardless of whether sampling is required, resulting in high power consumption of the device. Especially when deployed in large-scale duck houses, the overall energy consumption cost increases significantly, and frequent power supply replacement or charging also increases the maintenance workload.
[0029] Among the feasible methods discovered in this field, traditional devices often separate the protective structure from the monitoring structure in their integrated design, resulting in a loose overall structure and a large installation space requirement. This design not only increases the installation complexity of the device but may also lead to gas leakage due to gaps at the joints between components, affecting the accuracy of the monitoring data.
[0030] Among the feasible methods discovered in this field, traditional devices rely on natural diffusion for gas collection, resulting in slow sampling speeds and susceptibility to airflow disturbances within the duck house. Especially in well-ventilated duck houses, natural diffusion sampling may lead to lower-than-expected odor concentration readings, making it difficult to detect localized gas concentration anomalies in a timely manner.
[0031] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of a duck house odor monitoring device, including a supporting structure 1, which includes a support plate 106. A protective structure 2 and a monitoring structure 3 are installed on the support plate 106. The protective structure 2 includes a protective cover 201, which is fixed to the front edge of the support plate 106. A protective net 202 is fixed to the outer wall of the protective cover 201. A vertically distributed groove 203 is provided through the left end of the protective cover 201, and each groove 203 is provided with a filter screen 206. The filter screen 206 is fixedly connected to the front and rear ends with locking blocks 205. The inner walls of the front and rear ends of the tank 203 are provided with locking slots 204, which are adapted to the locking blocks 205. The left inner wall of the protective cover 201 is fixedly connected to a fan 207 distributed vertically. The air outlet of the fan 207 is directly facing the filter screen 206. The inner wall of the front end of the protective cover 201 is provided with several guide grooves 208 distributed horizontally. The lower end of the protective cover 201 is provided with a slot 209 distributed horizontally, which corresponds to the guide grooves 208.
[0032] The protective cover 201 provides initial protection for the monitoring structure 3. The protective net 202 effectively prevents ducks from pecking at it and cushions collisions, further enhancing its protective properties. The filter 206, installed by the locking block 205 and the locking slot 204, can be easily disassembled and cleaned. It can also filter the air entering the protective cover 201, preventing feathers, impurities, and feces from entering the protective cover 201. The fan 207 blows air onto the surface of the filter 206, cleaning the surface of the filter 206 and preventing it from becoming clogged. The guide channel 208 guides the condensate in the protective cover 201 into the channel 209, through which the condensate is discharged from the protective cover 201, improving the protective properties of the device.
[0033] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the supporting structure 1 also includes a base 101. The left and right ends of the base 101 are fixedly connected to symmetrically distributed mounting blocks 107. Mounting holes are opened through the front and rear ends of the mounting blocks 107. In use, the base 101 can be easily fixed to the wall through the mounting holes of the mounting blocks 107. The front end of the base 101 is provided with a sliding groove 102. A slider 103 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 102. A support plate 106 is fixedly connected to the front end of the slider 103. In use, the slider 103 slides in conjunction with the sliding groove 102, which can drive the support plate 106 to move up and down along the inner wall of the sliding groove 102. The height of the protective structure 2 and the monitoring structure 3 can be adjusted according to the breeding conditions to improve the monitoring effect.
[0034] Please see Figures 3-5In this embodiment, threaded holes 104 are provided at both ends of the slider 103. Bolts 105 are installed in the threaded holes 104. The end face of the bolts 105 is in contact with the inner wall of the slide groove 102. In use, the bolts 105 are tightened by rotating them, which can be in contact with and press against the inner wall of the slide groove 102. The support plate 106 is fixed by friction, which improves the stability of the support plate 106 during operation. The monitoring structure 3 includes a monitoring tube 301. The monitoring tube 301 is fixed to the center of the front end of the support plate 106. A sensor 302 is fixed to the inner wall of the monitoring tube 301. In use, the airflow passing through the monitoring tube 301 can be detected by the sensor 302, thereby monitoring the air in the duck house.
[0035] Please see Figure 5 In this embodiment, a moisture-proof pad 303 is also attached to the inner wall of the monitoring tube 301. A second fan 309 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the monitoring tube 301, and the air outlet of the second fan 309 corresponds to the upper opening of the monitoring tube 301. During use, the moisture-proof pad 303 can prevent moisture from entering the monitoring tube 301, avoiding the influence of humid air on the normal operation of the sensor 302. The second fan 309 can drive airflow into the monitoring tube 301, improving detection efficiency. A housing 304 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the monitoring tube 301. The device is equipped with a communicator 305, an alarm 306, a processor 307, and a controller 308. During use, the communicator 305, alarm 306, processor 307, and controller 308 can be protected by the housing 304. The processor 307 can collect and analyze the information collected by the sensor 302 and transmit it to the information receiving end through the communicator 305. When the detected exhaust gas exceeds the standard, the alarm 306 can sound an alarm to remind the staff. The controller 308 can control the fan 207 and the fan 309.
[0036] During operation, firstly, use tools such as studs and nuts to fix the base 101 to the wall. Then, align the slider 103 with the upper opening of the slide groove 102 and push the slider 103 downwards to slide it into the slide groove 102. Next, adjust the height of the slider 103 as needed to keep the monitoring structure 3 at a suitable height. Then, turn and tighten the bolt 105 so that the bolt 105 fits against and presses against the inner wall of the slide groove 102 to limit and fix the slider 103. Finally, start the second fan 309 through the controller 308 so that the second fan 309 drives the airflow into the monitoring tube 301. The first fan 207 can be controlled by the controller 308 to rotate periodically to blow away impurities adhering to the surface of the filter screen 206.
[0037] Through the above steps, the protective cover 201 can provide initial protection for the monitoring structure 3, the protective net 202 can effectively prevent ducks from pecking and bite and buffer collisions, the filter 206 installed by the card block 205 and the card slot 204 can be easily disassembled and cleaned, and can filter the air entering the protective cover 201 to prevent feathers, impurities and feces from entering the protective cover 201, the fan 207 can blow air onto the surface of the filter 206 to clean the surface of the filter 206 and prevent the filter 206 from clogging, and the guide channel 208 can guide the condensate in the protective cover 201 into the channel 209 and discharge the condensate from the protective cover 201 through the channel 209, which solves the problem that the duck house odor monitoring device has poor protection and is easy to clog, affecting the monitoring effect.
