Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning, specifically to a self-propelled cleaning device for cattle farm roads. Background Technology

[0002] The self-propelled cleaning device for cattle farms is an automated cleaning equipment designed specifically for large-scale cattle farms. It is mainly used for the efficient cleaning of pollutants such as manure, feed residue, and sewage in areas such as roads around cattle sheds and exercise yards. It has the functions of autonomous walking and automatic operation, which can significantly reduce the intensity of manual labor, improve cleaning efficiency, and improve the breeding environment.

[0003] Currently, traditional methods of cleaning cattle farm roads mainly rely on manual sweeping or the use of independently powered cleaning equipment. Manual sweeping is inefficient, labor-intensive, and it is difficult to guarantee the timeliness and thoroughness of cleaning. On the other hand, independently powered cleaning equipment, such as electric sweepers, not only has high purchase and operating costs, but also requires additional energy supply, limiting its application scenarios. In view of this, we propose a self-propelled cleaning device for cattle farm roads. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a self-propelled cleaning device for cattle farm roads. It solves the problems of large-scale cattle farm roads having a wide area, long routes and mostly dirt roads, which result in high manpower consumption and low efficiency of traditional manual cleaning, and the sweeping robot being prone to failure due to debris entanglement. Complex road conditions also affect the cleaning effect and lifespan.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a self-propelled cleaning device for cattle farm roads, including a movable rear wheel, a drive gear fixedly connected to the movable rear wheel, a driven gear meshing with the outer edge of the drive gear, and a cleaning mechanism rotatably connected to the drive gear through the driven gear.

[0006] The cleaning mechanism includes a support rod fixedly connected to a driven gear. One end of the support rod is fixedly connected to a hydraulic telescopic rod, and one end of the hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a transmission component. A rotating broom is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission component by bolts.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0008] In this invention, the rotating rear wheel drives the active gear to rotate, and the active gear meshes with the driven gear to transmit power to the cleaning mechanism. No additional power source is required; the rotating broom can be driven by the device's own propulsion, greatly saving labor costs and facilitating the cleaning of cattle ranches. Timely cleaning of cattle ranches can reduce treatment costs and mortality losses caused by cattle diseases, as well as indirect economic losses such as decreased milk production and slow growth due to diseases. At the same time, clean roads can reduce wear and tear on vehicles and equipment.

[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a fixed frame is rotatably connected to the side of the driven gear opposite to the cleaning mechanism. The top of the fixed frame is provided with a threaded hole for connecting to the bottom of the rear end of the tricycle.

[0010] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the cleaning device can be easily fixed to the rear of the tricycle or removed from the vehicle through the bolt connection of the threaded hole, which facilitates equipment transfer, maintenance, or flexible adjustment of the installation position according to different cleaning needs.

[0011] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the support rod passes through the fixed frame and is fixedly connected to the driven gear. The transmission component includes a first synchronous pulley fixedly connected to the hydraulic telescopic rod. A synchronous belt is sleeved on the surface of the first synchronous pulley, and a second synchronous pulley is sleeved inside the synchronous belt. One end of the second synchronous pulley is rotatably connected to a mounting plate, and a fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the mounting plate for connecting the rotating broom to the rear end of the tricycle. The other end of the second synchronous pulley is fixedly connected to a connecting rod. The end of the connecting rod opposite to the second synchronous pulley is fixedly connected to the rotating broom by a bolt. The rotating broom consists of a rotating disc and a cleaning brush, and the cleaning brush is distributed in a circumferential array on the outer edge of the rotating disc.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the driven gear is rigidly connected to the tricycle through the fixed frame, and the support rod passes through the fixed frame to form a stable support, ensuring that the transmission components remain balanced when rotating at high speed, avoiding the timing belt from falling off or the components from loosening due to vibration, and ensuring the continuity and reliability of cleaning operations.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] The present invention provides the following preferred embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a self-propelled cleaning device for cattle farm roads, including a movable rear wheel 100. A drive gear 200 is fixedly connected to the movable rear wheel 100. A driven gear 210 is meshed with the outer edge of the drive gear 200. Both the drive gear 200 and the driven gear 210 are bevel gears, which ensures the stability of the drive gear 200 and the driven gear 210 meshing and rotating in the vertical direction. The drive gear 200 is rotatably connected to a cleaning mechanism 300 through the driven gear 210.

[0024] The cleaning mechanism 300 includes a support rod 310 fixedly connected to the driven gear 210. One end of the support rod 310 is fixedly connected to a hydraulic telescopic rod 311, and one end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 311 is fixedly connected to a transmission component 312. A rotating broom 313 is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission component 312 by bolts.

[0025] The improvement in this embodiment is as follows:

[0026] Considering that as self-operated livestock farming moves towards modernization, large-scale cattle farms are increasingly becoming the mainstream of the industry. These cattle farms have vast road areas, and traditional manual or robotic cleaning methods face many challenges. Cattle farm roads are often long and mostly dirt roads. Manual cleaning not only consumes a lot of manpower but is also inefficient. While sweeping robots are prone to mechanical failure due to entanglement and blockage by debris such as fallen leaves and straw on the road surface, complex road conditions may also increase the difficulty of robot movement, further affecting the cleaning effect and equipment lifespan. Therefore, a self-cleaning device can be used to clean cattle farm roads by riding a tricycle used for feed transport. When the tricycle moves, its rear wheel 100 rotates, and through the meshing of the drive gear 200 and driven gear 210, it drives the cleaning mechanism 300 to rotate, thereby achieving automatic cleaning of cattle farm roads. On the one hand, the tricycle was originally used for feed transport or material transportation. By integrating the cleaning mechanism 300, it can complete road cleaning simultaneously while driving, without the need to arrange additional personnel or equipment for cleaning, reducing repetitive labor and improving farm operation efficiency.

[0027] On the other hand, dust and piles of fallen leaves are hiding places for pests such as mosquitoes, flies, and ticks. These pests may carry pathogens such as bovine leukemia virus and Babesia. Self-cleaning devices can destroy pest habitats and reduce the spread of vector-borne diseases such as bovine infectious rhinotracheitis and porcine parvovirus.

[0028] Based on the above, the specific structure will be disclosed in detail:

[0029] Considering that the driving gear 200 and the driven gear 210 require supporting force during rotation, the structure of the driven gear 210 is disclosed in further detail, such as... Figure 2 As shown, a fixed frame 212 is rotatably connected to the side of the driven gear 210 opposite to the cleaning mechanism 300. The top of the fixed frame 212 has a threaded hole for connecting to the bottom of the rear end of the tricycle. The fixed frame 212 is fixedly connected to the tricycle through the threaded hole, which can ensure the stability of the driven gear 210 when it meshes and rotates.

[0030] Furthermore, to ensure the automatic cleaning of the cattle ranch roads, details of 300 cleaning organizations are disclosed, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the support rod 310 passes through the fixed frame 212 and is fixedly connected to the driven gear 210. The transmission component 312 includes a first synchronous pulley 3121 fixedly connected to the hydraulic telescopic rod 311. A synchronous belt 3122 is sleeved on the surface of the first synchronous pulley 3121, and a second synchronous pulley 3123 is sleeved inside the synchronous belt 3122. One end of the second synchronous pulley 3123 is rotatably connected to a mounting plate 314. A fixing bolt is threaded onto the mounting plate 314 for connecting the rotating broom 313 to the rear end of the tricycle. When it is necessary to clean the cattle track, the hydraulic telescopic rod 311 is activated first to extend the first synchronous pulley 3121 to be in the same straight line position as the second synchronous pulley 3123. First, ensure that the axes of the two are on the same longitudinal horizontal line. Then, connect one end of the synchronous belt 3122 to the first synchronous pulley 3121, so that the first synchronous pulley 3121 and the second synchronous pulley 3123 are located at the two ends inside the synchronous belt 3122 respectively. After completing the above operation, the hydraulic telescopic rod 311 is driven to rotate through the meshing transmission of the drive gear 200 and the driven gear 210, which in turn drives the rotating broom 313 to rotate, thereby realizing the cleaning operation of the cattle farm road. Accumulated fallen leaves or thick dust will reduce the friction of the road surface, making it easy for cattle to slip when walking, especially in wet weather, which may lead to hoof injuries, joint sprains or even miscarriages. The self-cleaning device keeps the road surface dry and clean, which can reduce such accidents.

[0031] Specifically, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the second synchronous pulley 3123. The end of the connecting rod opposite to the second synchronous pulley 3123 is fixedly connected to the rotating broom 313 by bolts. The rotating broom 313 consists of a rotating disk and a cleaning brush. The cleaning brush is distributed in a circumferential array on the outer edge of the rotating disk. The second synchronous pulley 3123 and the rotating broom 313 are connected by the connecting rod, which facilitates the periodic replacement of the rotating broom 313.

[0032] In practical use, the self-propelled cleaning device for cattle farm roads of this utility model is installed by connecting the threaded hole at the top of the fixing frame 212 to the corresponding position at the bottom of the rear end of the tricycle. The tricycle is then started, and the rear wheel 100 is moved to rotate, which drives the drive gear 200 to rotate. The drive gear 200 drives the driven gear 210 to rotate through meshing, and the driven gear 210 drives the support rod 310 fixedly connected to it to rotate.

[0033] According to the actual cleaning needs, operate the hydraulic telescopic rod 311 and adjust the position of the transmission component 312 so that the first synchronous wheel 3121 and the second synchronous wheel 3123 are in the same straight line to ensure stable transmission. The rotation of the driven gear 210 drives the support rod 310, the hydraulic telescopic rod 311 and the transmission component 312 to rotate in sequence. The first synchronous wheel 3121 in the transmission component 312 drives the second synchronous wheel 3123 to rotate through the synchronous belt 3122. The rotation of the second synchronous wheel 3123 drives the rotating broom 313 fixedly connected to it to rotate at high speed to sweep the cattle farm road, sweep the debris to one side of the road or concentrated area, and complete the cleaning work.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
