Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of aquaculture feeding technology, specifically to an aquaculture system that can be rapidly deployed and constructed. Background Technology
[0002] Animal husbandry is an important industry in my country that benefits the country and its people. However, its promotion is still subject to many limitations. Traditional livestock sheds are built on land, requiring approval to purchase dedicated breeding land or occupying self-built land or planting land. The large investment and long construction time result in high costs. Furthermore, there are many unfavorable factors: First, it's difficult to quickly build and start breeding to generate revenue, and it's also difficult to quickly raise livestock to meet market demand. This can easily lead to starting breeding when market demand is high but selling when the market is already oversupplied, impacting income. Second, building sheds makes it difficult to automate or intelligent breeding, and it's also inconvenient to renovate to adjust the breeding scale or adapt to later needs such as separate breeding or fattening. Third, the construction and dismantling of sheds are time-consuming, affecting the reuse of land. All of these factors lower the cost-to-revenue ratio, increase breeding risks, and are also unfavorable for breeding in mountainous areas or areas without large areas of flat land.
[0003] At the same time, there is another important factor: disease. Livestock are highly susceptible to disease during the rearing process, and diseases spread rapidly. The more livestock in a single pen, the greater the chance of infection and the higher the mortality rate due to disease spread. However, reducing the number of livestock in a single pen requires expanding the number of pens to be built, significantly increasing costs and construction time. Furthermore, controlling the feeding conditions in all pens is necessary to prevent disease transmission, which is difficult to implement using traditional building structures. This is another factor contributing to increased rearing costs and risks. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0037] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1-7 The embodiments of this application provide a breeding system comprising one or more independently set breeding sheds, each shed being formed by a container 1, i.e., one container 1 forming one breeding shed. Each container 1 is equipped with lifting components such as lugs for connecting lifting equipment, so that each container 1 can be placed and arranged directly by lifting equipment, facilitating the construction of a breeding farm and the arrangement of multiple breeding sheds.
[0038] The container 1 forms a breeding space, and a gate 3 is set on the side near the container door 11. The gate 3 is used to fence off the livestock. The gate 3 is designed to be openable and closable, allowing the livestock to enter and exit the breeding space.
[0039] Alternatively, container 1 can be described as having an openable door 3 inside, located near the container door 11 at the end of container 1 with the door 11. The space inside the door 3 is the livestock living area, preventing livestock from escaping when the door 11 is opened. The space outside the door 3 is the personnel living area, facilitating livestock observation. A manure collection tank 8 is installed on the bottom of container 1, and a slatted floor 9 with multiple manure-leaking openings is laid on top of the manure collection tank 8, forming the supporting floor for the livestock living area. Livestock move on the slatted floor 9, so that their urine and feces will directly fall into the manure collection tank 8 below.
[0040] Container 1 is also equipped with a feed trough 5 for holding feed, a waterer, and an environmental control system. The environmental control system includes a ventilation device, a humidification device 4, a temperature device, and a lighting device, used to adjust the temperature of container 1.
[0041] The system monitors air quality, humidity, temperature, and light exposure. Feed trough 5 is used to hold feed for livestock. A waterer provides drinking water, and its separate location from feed trough 5 facilitates feeding. Feed trough 5 allows for timed feeding or adjustments to feeding schedules, while the separate waterer provides a constant supply of drinking water without interfering with feeding. It also allows for the provision of dedicated water (boiled or treated water) for livestock, promoting healthier feeding practices.
[0042] Container 1 is equipped with a feeding port connected to the feed tank 5, a water inlet connected to the waterer, and a manure discharge port connected to the manure collection tank 8, allowing for direct connection to corresponding external pipelines. For example, the feeding port can be an opening directly formed in the container panel of Container 1 for farmers to add feed, or it can be formed by a feeding pipe penetrating the container panel. The feeding pipe is connected to external feed supply equipment, such as feeding equipment 12, via a pipeline to automatically supply feed. Similarly, the water inlet can be equipped with a water pipe connector, allowing direct connection to external water pipes or water tanks 15 to provide drinking water. The manure discharge port is equipped with a manure discharge pipe, or the manure discharge port is formed by a manure discharge pipe, and can be directly connected to external sewage pipes via a pipeline.
[0043] In this way, all the equipment required for the breeding house is already assembled and constructed inside container 1. It is directly transported and placed on the breeding site by hoisting equipment. Then, it is connected to the external pipeline to form a breeding house that can start breeding. The centralized installation of multiple containers 1 can quickly complete the construction of a complete breeding farm.
[0044] As can be seen, the breeding system provided in this application uses container 1 as the breeding shed. Inside container 1, feeding, watering, manure disposal, ventilation, humidification, and temperature control devices necessary for livestock are assembled. Connecting pipes are pre-installed on the container 1 panels to form an independent breeding shed. When constructing the breeding farm, the corresponding number of containers 1 are transported to the location as needed and arranged using hoisting equipment. Finally, pipes for water supply, feeding, and manure disposal are laid to complete the construction of the breeding farm. Container 1 can also be recycled, further reducing costs. Thus, this breeding shed constructed using multiple containers 1 has two advantages: firstly, it is less expensive than traditional buildings; secondly, it is easy to install, allowing for rapid deployment of the entire breeding farm. Construction time is short, and it can be completed within one or two days, enabling users to quickly start breeding and generate revenue.
[0045] Thirdly, it can be quickly dismantled, allowing users to quickly reuse the land, and it is also easy to move as a whole to cope with the adjustment of breeding sites due to land or weather factors in the later stage, which facilitates mobile breeding; Fourthly, the number of breeding sheds is easy to adjust, and the breeding scale can be adjusted at will to match the user's land area and breeding needs, reducing the difficulty of implementation and cost input. For example, small-scale breeding can be carried out in mountainous areas or some remote areas; Fifthly, the breeding sheds are easy to manage intelligently, and the temperature, humidity, and harmful gases such as nitrogen and ammonia in the air can be controlled to improve breeding safety and fattening speed; Sixthly, each container 1 has an environmental control system and a feed pool 5, which can easily realize environmental isolation such as feeding isolation and ventilation, facilitate safe breeding, and significantly reduce the risk of disease.
[0046] Since each container 1 contains a feed trough 5, feeding isolation can be achieved simply by providing feed to each container 1 separately. Furthermore, when multiple containers 1 are used, not only is feeding separated for each container 1, but the environmental control systems for each container 1 are also independently set up. That is, the ventilation vents of each container 1 are independently set up and connected to the outside atmosphere, ensuring independent and separate ventilation for each container 1, thus cutting off the pathways for disease spread. In this way, each container 1 forms an independent breeding room, conveniently achieving isolated and safe breeding, significantly reducing the probability of disease occurrence and spread, and ensuring breeding results and income.
[0047] The breeding system provided in this application is particularly suitable for poultry farming with high disease incidence, such as pig farming. By controlling the number of pigs in each container, the mode of disease transmission and spread can be effectively controlled, achieving safe breeding, significantly improving breeding safety, and reducing breeding risks. At the same time, for pigs at different stages or of different types, such as fattening piglets and breeding pigs, it is easy to separate them into individual pens, control the feed composition and feeding amount in each pen, and carry out targeted feeding to improve breeding efficiency and shorten breeding time.
[0048] Specifically, container 1 can be fixed to support pier 2. Support pier 2 can be a concrete pier, which is stable and provides strong support. When hoisting container 1 for placement, align the corner holes of the container with the positioning pins, and then lower container 1 directly onto support pier 2. The positioning pins can then be inserted into the corner holes to secure container 1. The installation is simple and the fixation is effective.
[0049] When there are multiple containers 1, the nearest ends of every two adjacent containers 1 are connected to the same...
[0050] It is fixed on support pier 2 and by two sets of positioning pins on the same support pier 2, such as Figure 1 As shown. With this arrangement, multiple containers 1 can be stably and compactly arranged, reducing the floor space required.
[0051] Multiple containers 1 are arranged along the width of container 1. One end of container 1 along its length is a door 11, and the other end can be equipped with a ventilation opening and a humidifier 4. The environmental control system, or the central controller of the entire container 1, is equipped with an operating panel. The operating panel can be located at either end of the length of container 1, preferably on the door 11 and on the outer wall of the door 11, so that the farmers can operate it from outside the container 1. Alternatively, an electrical control cabinet can be installed inside container 1, such as in the internal space of container 1 outside the door 3 where people can move around. The operating panel can be located on the outer wall of the electrical control cabinet, which is also convenient for operators.
[0052] Water pipe joints, feeding pipes, and sewage discharge pipes are set at one or both ends of the length direction of container 1. Each external pipe is connected from one or both ends of the length direction of container 1 to avoid occupying the space on both sides of the width direction of container 1, and to facilitate the centralized arrangement of multiple containers 1.
[0053] Drinking water supply and manure disposal can both be achieved directly through external pipelines. Feed supply can be done manually through a feeding port or automatically via automated feeding equipment. For example, further, in an embodiment of this application, the aquaculture system also includes a feeding kitchen, which includes feeding equipment 12 for conveying feed to container 1. The feeding equipment 12 is integrated onto an integrated frame 13, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the integrated frame 13 is equipped with a hoisting structure 19, such as a hanging lug, which allows for direct hoisting and placement. The feeding pipe 16 of the feeding device 12 is connected to the feeding port of one or more containers 1, and feeds powdered or liquid feed into the feed tank 5 of the container 1. With this configuration, the feeding device 12 is also an integrated device that can be directly hoisted into place. Then, by connecting its feeding pipe 16 to the feeding port or feeding pipe of the container 1, a complete automated feeding aquaculture system can be quickly constructed.
[0054] The feeding device 12 can be a liquid feeding device that provides liquid feed, or a dry feed feeding device that provides dry powder feed. For example, when it is a liquid feeding device, the feeding device 12 includes a mixing tank 14 for holding feed, a water tank 15 for holding water, a feed pipe 16 connected to the mixing tank 14, a delivery pump installed on the feed pipe 16, and a control box 17 with a controller, all mounted on an integrated frame 13. It also includes a weight sensor that is communicatively connected to the controller. The weight sensor is installed on the mixing tank 14 and the water tank 15 to allow the controller to adjust the feeding amount. The weight sensor can be installed on the legs of the mixing tank 14 and the water tank 15 to weigh the entire tank. The controller can measure the weight and ratio of water and raw materials based on the weight changes.
[0055] The inlet of the mixing tank 14 can be connected to a material storage tank containing raw materials via a pipeline. The material storage tank is equipped with conveying equipment such as an auger conveyor, which can automatically inject raw materials into the mixing tank 14. The material storage tank and the conveying equipment can also be integrated, for example, fixed on a hoisting bracket, or laid on-site. For example, the material storage tank and the conveying equipment can be directly transported to the breeding site and connected via pipeline to complete the construction.
[0056] The outlet of water tank 15 is connected to the inlet of mixing tank 14 via a water injection pipe and to feeding pipe 16 via a water delivery pipe. A water pump electrically connected to the controller of feeding equipment 12 is also provided. Thus, by adjusting the water pump, the controller of feeding equipment 12 can inject liquid feed into mixing tank 14 and inject water into feeding pipe 16 to push residual feed in feeding pipe 16.
[0057] One end of the feed pipe 16, connected to the container 1, is also connected to a return pipe and equipped with a return valve to open or close the return pipe. A feed valve is also located on the side leading to the container 1. Both the return valve and the feed valve are communicatively connected to the controller of the feeding equipment 12. The other end of the return pipe is connected to the inlet of the water tank 15 via a branch pipe and to the inlet of the mixing tank 14 via another branch pipe. Both branch pipes are equipped with valves. With this configuration, when it is necessary to transport mixed liquid feed, the return valve is closed, the feed valve is opened, and liquid feed is transported into the feed pool 5 of the container 1. The transport volume is controlled by a weight sensor. After the liquid feed is quantitatively delivered, the feeding valve is closed and the return valve is opened. By injecting water from the water tank 15 into the feeding pipe 16, the remaining liquid feed in the feeding pipe 16 can be pushed back into the mixing tank 14. When feed needs to be delivered again, the liquid feed pushes the water in the feeding pipe 16 back into the water tank 15. Based on weight calculation, when the water in the feeding pipe 16 is pushed out of the feeding pipe 16 and the liquid feed flows to the return valve, the return valve is closed in time and the feeding valve is opened to continue delivering feed into the container 1.
[0058] When the feeding equipment 12 is a dry feeding equipment, it includes a hopper mounted on an integrated frame 13, a disc conveyor or auger conveyor, a feeding pipe 16, and a control box 17 with a controller. It also includes a weight sensor connected to the controller, which is mounted on the hopper and / or feed trough 5 to allow the controller to adjust the feeding amount. The dry feed is typically pre-crushed powder and can be stored directly in the hopper. The disc conveyor or auger conveyor can quickly transport the dry feed directly into the container 1.
[0059] The control box 17 of the feeding equipment 12 is connected to the outside of the integrated frame 13 for easy maintenance. A control panel 18 or a control computer is also located on one side of the control box 17. The control panel 18 or control computer can be vertically fixed on the integrated frame 13, or a support platform for the control panel 18 can be provided on the integrated frame 13. The support platform is located on one side of the control box 13, also on the outside of the main body of the integrated frame 13. This location facilitates the adjustment of feeding amount, feeding time, and other information by the farmers, improving the quality of the breeding process.
[0060] Of course, when the feeding equipment 12 is a dry feeding equipment, it can also be built directly on the breeding site. For example, after transporting the feed silo and conveying equipment to the breeding site, it can be placed by hoisting equipment and then the pipeline can be connected. The installation operation is also very convenient and quick.
[0061] Whether the feed is liquid or dry, when the breeding site is large and the breeding scale is large, feed tanks for storing raw materials and conveying equipment for transporting raw materials can be set up on the breeding site. That is, the feeding kitchen can also include feed tanks and conveying equipment. In some cases, such as when the raw materials stored in the feed tank have large particle size or are uncrushed dry materials, a grinder for grinding raw materials can also be connected to the feed tank. That is, the feeding kitchen also includes a grinder, which is connected between the feed tank and the conveying equipment. The feed tank, grinder, and conveying equipment for transporting raw materials to the feeding equipment 12 can all be placed directly on the breeding site after transportation and connected by pipelines, or they can all be integrated on a support frame for direct and integrated transportation to the site.
[0062] For container 1, which forms the breeding shed, its internal structure is as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown. The manure pit 8 is installed inside the container 1, on the bottom plate of the container 1, and the top of the manure pit 8 is the opening covered with a slatted floor 9. The slatted floor 9 forms the supporting floor of the breeding space, on which livestock are raised and move around. The gate 3 can also be installed on the slatted floor 9.
[0063] The sump 5 is positioned above the slatted floor 9 and can be connected to the side panel of the container 1. It can be positioned along the length of the container 1 to increase the length of the sump 5. The sump 5 is equipped with a discharge outlet, which can be connected to an external pipeline or connected to the septic tank 8 to conveniently discharge the water used to clean the sump 5 into the septic tank 8.
[0064] Above the feed tank 5, multiple feed pipes 6 are arranged at intervals along the length of the container 1, and feed boxes 7 are connected to each feed pipe. Each feed pipe 6 is equipped with a feed valve, and the feed box 7 is connected to the feed inlet. The feed injected into the container 1 will accumulate in the feed box 7, and then be quickly and evenly injected into different areas of the feed tank 5 through each feed pipe 6, thereby enhancing the uniformity of feed feeding in the feed tank 5.
[0065] The waterer includes a drinking bowl connected to an external water source via a pipe, a trigger valve for opening or closing the pipe, and a push rod or foot pedal for triggering the valve. Thus, the trigger valve, activated by the push rod or foot pedal, automatically dispenses water into the drinking bowl. The push rod can be located inside the drinking bowl, allowing an animal to push it with its head or nose when its head is near the bowl. The foot pedal can be located at the front of the drinking bowl and on a manure slat 9; when an animal, such as a pig, walks to the drinking bowl, its front hooves step on the pedal, causing water to flow automatically into the bowl.
[0066] The environmental control system includes a central controller, an ammonia detector, a nitrogen detector, a temperature sensor, and a humidity sensor. The probes of each sensor and detector extend out of the container panel to detect the air inside container 1. The wiring can be laid through the cable trays located inside the container panel of container 1.
[0067] The central controller and control panel can be installed on the container panel or door 11, or an electrical control cabinet can be installed inside the container 1, which can be located in the space between the door 11 and the door frame 3. The electrical control cabinet houses the central controller, frequency converter, and other control components, and an control panel and indicator lights are installed on the outer wall of the electrical control cabinet; this makes it very convenient for aquaculture personnel to operate.
[0068] The ventilation system includes ventilation ducts 10 installed inside container 1, ventilation openings installed on the container panels of container 1, and a fan. The humidification system 4 includes a spray assembly installed at the ventilation opening to form a water curtain at the ventilation opening. For example, the humidification system 4 includes a water tank 41 installed outside container 1, a spray assembly installed inside the water tank 41, with an air inlet 401 on one side of the water tank 41 and the other side connected to the ventilation opening, so that the water curtain sprayed by the spray assembly covers the outside of the ventilation opening.
[0069] The central controller uses ammonia detectors, nitrogen detectors, temperature sensors, and humidity sensors to regulate the ventilation duration and speed of the fans, thereby monitoring and controlling the air, humidity, and temperature parameters inside container 1 in real time. When the levels of either ammonia or nitrogen exceed the standard, the central controller promptly activates the fans to provide ventilation or increases the ventilation volume. Similarly, when either temperature or humidity exceeds the set minimum values, the central controller promptly activates the fans to provide ventilation or increases the ventilation volume.
[0070] The lighting system includes multiple lights mounted on a panel. A central controller is electrically connected to the lights to monitor and regulate the duration of illumination.
[0071] When the feed tank 5 is equipped with a feed pipe 6 and a feed valve, the main controller is electrically connected to the feed valve. In this way, the farmers can directly control the feeding time through the control panel.
[0072] Solar panels are also installed on the top of container 1, which power the overall circuitry of container 1.
[0073] In some embodiments, the aquaculture system also includes a disinfection room, which is formed by an auxiliary container 1. For example, the aquaculture system includes multiple containers, some of which form a breeding shed, and one or more of which form a disinfection room; the container 1 forming the breeding shed is called the breeding container, and the container for the disinfection room is called the auxiliary container. The disinfection room is equipped with a changing area and a disinfection area, and the disinfection area is equipped with any one or any combination of shower facilities, bath facilities, and ultraviolet disinfection facilities. During periods of strict virus control, or during the spread of a certain virus, it is best for aquaculture personnel or any other personnel to disinfect before entering or leaving container 1. By setting up a disinfection room, aquaculture personnel can change clothes before entering the breeding space, put on disinfected special clothing after disinfection, and disinfect again and change back into their previous clothes after leaving the breeding space. This improves aquaculture safety. Moreover, the disinfection room formed by container 1 can be quickly deployed and dismantled, making it very suitable for emergency control needs.
