Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to a ground cleaning device for chicken farms. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of social technology, indoor free-range chicken farming has emerged in a controlled environment. Compared with traditional cage farming, free-range chickens have a higher degree of freedom of movement and a larger space to move around, avoiding the limb development restriction and pecking behavior caused by chicken cages, thus improving the quality of chicken meat. In order to reduce the risk of germs in indoor free-range farming, it is necessary to clean up the manure in the field in a timely manner. To improve cleaning efficiency, many manure cleaning devices have appeared on the market. For example, Chinese utility model with announcement number CN207135832U discloses a manure cleaning device for chicken farms, including a base, moving wheels, steering wheels, a sweeping wheel device and a collection wheel device. The base moves by moving wheels. During the movement, the sweeping wheel device picks up the manure and sends it to the collection wheel device to achieve cleaning. However, in practice, it was found that there are still areas for improvement in this type of cleaning device: for example, due to the large gap between the sweeping wheel device and the front moving wheel, when working on non-flat farm ground, the ground height of the front moving wheel and the ground height of the sweeping wheel device are not consistent. The height change of the sweeping wheel device driven by the moving wheel is delayed, which causes the sweeping wheel device to not reliably fit the ground, resulting in poor cleaning effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a floor cleaning device for chicken farms. This invention allows the floor brush to reliably adhere to the ground, improving the cleaning effect of manure.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model: a chicken farm floor cleaning device, including a frame, with movable wheels at the bottom of the frame, and a ground-adhering brush, a cleaning roller, a conveyor belt, and a collection box arranged sequentially from front to back on the frame. The front end of the frame has symmetrically arranged and vertically rotatably connected extension rods, with a first drive motor at the end of each extension rod. The ground-adhering brush is located at the output end of the first drive motor. Vertically rotatably connected extension adjustment rods are provided on the frame between the extension rods. Adjustment covers are rotatably connected to the extension adjustment rods via bearings. Telescopic rods are provided on both sides of the adjustment covers, with the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods vertically rotatably connected to the corresponding extension rods. Ground-adhering adjustment wheels are provided at the bottom of the adjustment covers.

[0005] In the above-mentioned chicken farm floor cleaning device, the ground-adjusting wheel is located at the front end of the adjusting cylinder cover; the telescopic rod is located at the rear end of the adjusting cylinder cover.

[0006] In the aforementioned chicken farm floor cleaning device, the telescopic end of the telescopic rod is tilted forward and rotatably connected to the front end or middle of the extended movable rod.

[0007] In the aforementioned chicken farm floor cleaning device, the middle part of the adjusting cylinder cover is provided with a supporting inclined rod that is connected to the fixed side of the telescopic rod.

[0008] In the aforementioned chicken farm floor cleaning device, both sides of the adjusting cylinder cover are provided with mounting rods extending downwards to the side, and the ground-adjusting wheel is located at the end of the mounting rod.

[0009] In the aforementioned chicken farm floor cleaning device, a supporting crossbar is provided in the middle of both mounting rods.

[0010] In the aforementioned chicken farm floor cleaning device, a second drive motor is provided on the frame, a first driven shaft is provided at the end of the input roller of the conveyor belt, a second driven shaft is provided at the end of the cleaning roller, the output end of the second drive motor is connected to the first driven shaft via a transmission belt, and the first driven shaft is connected to the second driven shaft via a transmission belt.

[0011] In the aforementioned chicken farm floor cleaning device, a speed reducer is provided on the first driven shaft, and the output end of the second drive motor is connected to the speed reducer via a transmission belt.

[0012] In the aforementioned chicken farm floor cleaning device, the moving wheels on the front side of the frame correspond to the cleaning rollers.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this invention features a frame that moves forward under pressure, while the ground-hugging brush sweeps up feces. The sweeping rollers then entrain the swept feces and carry them to the conveyor belt, which in turn carries them to the collection box for complete cleaning. During movement, the ground-hugging adjustment wheel senses changes in ground elevation. These elevation changes in the forward direction are directly transmitted through the adjustment cylinder to the extension adjustment rod, causing it to rotate. This, in turn, drives the extension rods on both sides to rotate, achieving synchronized elevation changes in the ground-hugging brush and ensuring close contact with the ground. Lateral elevation changes in the ground during movement are also transmitted through the ground-hugging adjustment wheel, causing the adjustment cylinder to rotate. This rotation also drives the extension rods on both sides to rotate, achieving synchronized elevation changes in the ground-hugging brush. The rotation of the adjustment cylinder and the swinging of the extension adjustment rods work together to adapt to complex ground conditions. Simultaneously, the ground-hugging adjustment wheel protrudes forward from the frame, approaching the ground-hugging brush, ensuring synchronized elevation changes, stable contact with the ground, and excellent cleaning results.

[0019] Example: Chicken farm floor cleaning device, as shown in the attached document. Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a metal frame 1, with casters 2 mounted at the four corners of the bottom. From front to back, the frame 1 is equipped with a ground-feeding brush 3, a sweeping roller 4, a conveyor belt 5, and a collection box 6. The ground-feeding brush faces the ground, and the sweeping roller has evenly distributed bristles. A guide plate is fixed to the frame behind the sweeping roller, pointing towards the conveyor belt. After the sweeping roller picks up the waste, it is guided by the guide plate to the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is inclined, carrying the waste upwards into the collection box at the rear of the frame. (See attached diagram.) Figure 2 As shown, the front end of the frame 1 is provided with symmetrically arranged and vertically rotatably connected extension rods 7. Here, vertical rotation refers to rotation perpendicular to the ground. The connecting end of the extension rod has an integrally formed convex shaft. The frame has a slot and a connecting hole that mates with the convex shaft. The connection between the connecting hole and the convex shaft allows for flexible rotation of the extension rod in the vertical plane. A gap is left between the slot surface and the extension rod to allow for slight displacement of the extension rod along the convex shaft axis, avoiding interference. The end of the extension rod 7 is equipped with a first drive motor 8 and a small power supply. The ground-feeling brush 3 is mounted on the output end of the first drive motor 8. (See attached...) Figure 3As shown, an extension adjustment rod 9 is vertically rotatably connected to the frame 1 between the extension movable rods 7 via bearings. An adjustment sleeve 10 is rotatably connected to the extension adjustment rod 9 via bearings. Two bearings are provided, located at the front and rear ends of the extension adjustment rod respectively. The adjustment sleeve is connected to the two bearings. Telescopic rods 11 are welded to both sides of the adjustment sleeve 10. The telescopic rods are pneumatic piston rods. The telescopic ends of the telescopic rods 11 are vertically rotatably connected to the corresponding extension movable rods 7 via hinge seats. The extension movable rods are limited by the traction of the telescopic rods. A ground-contact adjustment wheel 12 is installed at the bottom of the adjustment sleeve 10. The ground-contact adjustment wheel can be a rubber wheel to improve the reduction of friction. Vibration effect; the ground-adjusting wheel 12 is located at the front end of the adjusting cylinder cover 10, close to the ground-adjusting brush, to ensure the synchronicity of height changes; the telescopic rod 11 is located at the rear end of the adjusting cylinder cover 10; the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 11 is inclined forward and rotatably connected to the front end or middle of the extension movable rod 7, the front end or middle of the extension movable rod is fixed with a connecting seat, the connecting seat has a shaft hole, the end of the telescopic rod is integrally formed with a rotating shaft body, the rotating shaft body is engaged with the shaft hole and fixed by a nut to achieve a movable connection, and the shaft hole is an oblong hole, allowing the rotating shaft body to make slight displacement to overcome motion interference, while making the telescopic rod drive the extension movable rod to form Sufficient range of motion; a supporting diagonal rod 13 connected to the fixed side of the telescopic rod 11 is welded to the middle of the adjusting sleeve 10, improving the structural reliability of the telescopic rod; mounting rods 14 extending to the side and downward are welded to both sides of the adjusting sleeve 10, and the ground-contact adjusting wheel 12 is assembled at the end of the mounting rod 14, expanding the lateral distribution range of the ground-contact adjusting wheel and improving the reliability of sensing lateral changes in ground height; a supporting crossbar 15 is welded to the middle of the two mounting rods 14, improving the structural strength of the mounting rod; a second drive motor 16 is fixed on the frame 1, and a first driven shaft 1 is assembled at the end of the input roller of the conveyor belt 5. 7. The end of the sweeping roller 4 is equipped with a second driven shaft 18. The output end of the second drive motor 16 is connected to the first driven shaft 17 via a transmission belt. The first driven shaft 17 is connected to the second driven shaft 18 via a transmission belt. The sweeping roller and the conveyor belt are driven by a single motor, reducing the number of drive components required. A reduction disc 19 is equipped on the first driven shaft 17. The output end of the second drive motor 16 is connected to the reduction disc 19 via a transmission belt, effectively increasing the torque. The moving wheel 2 on the front side of the frame 1 corresponds to the position of the sweeping roller 4, ensuring that the height change of the sweeping roller corresponds to the front moving wheel and reliably fits the ground.

[0020] Working principle: During operation, the operator pushes the frame 1 to move on the ground of the chicken farm via the moving wheels 2; during the forward movement of the frame, the first drive motor 8 drives the ground brush 3 to rotate at high speed, sweeping up the manure on the ground; then the sweeping roller 4 rolls up the swept manure through the brush bristles, and guides it to the conveyor belt 5 through the guide plate. The inclined conveyor belt transports the manure upward to the collection box 6 to complete the collection.

[0021] When the direction of travel encounters uneven ground, the ground-adjusting wheel 12 first contacts the ground and moves up and down with the terrain, driving the extension adjusting rod 9 to rotate via the adjusting sleeve 10. The telescopic rod 11 at the rear of the adjusting sleeve, due to its inclined design, causes the extension movable rod 7 to rotate vertically around the front of the frame, ensuring the ground-adjusting brush 3 rises and falls synchronously and remains in contact with the ground. If there are lateral changes in ground elevation, the ground-adjusting wheel 12 senses the difference in terrain on both sides via the mounting rod 14 and the support crossbar 15, causing the adjusting sleeve 10 to rotate. Through the linkage of the telescopic rod 11, an angle difference is created between the extension movable rods 7 on both sides, achieving lateral height adjustment of the ground-adjusting brush.
