Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming equipment, specifically a scraper device for longitudinal manure removal in stacked chicken farming. Background Technology

[0002] In tiered chicken farming, chicken manure needs to be cleaned up promptly, otherwise it will seriously affect the feeding environment and thus have an adverse impact on the breeding. During the manure cleaning process, chicken manure may remain on the rollers, thus affecting the removal of manure.

[0003] Currently, various scraper devices for longitudinal manure removal in stacked chicken farms are available on the market. In existing technology, most manure removal devices employ a single-layer control method, using tension springs to achieve friction between the scraper and the roller to complete the cleaning function. This single-layer control method requires manual operation of each layer's manure removal structure, making the process cumbersome and hindering the automated control of the entire manure removal system.

[0004] To address the shortcomings of single-layer control methods, some scraper devices have adopted multi-layer control. Existing multi-layer control methods primarily rely on rigidly connected rods with fixed springs, using the tension of these springs to create friction between the scraper blades and the rollers for cleaning. However, due to unavoidable errors during equipment installation in chicken houses, and potential angular deviations in the rollers over long-term use, the rigid connection method cannot effectively adjust for these errors, making it difficult to ensure perfectly consistent contact between each scraper blade and the roller. This inability to effectively adjust for these errors results in insufficient or excessive friction between some scraper blades and the rollers, thus affecting the cleaning effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a scraper device for longitudinal manure removal in stacked chicken farms. This scraper device for longitudinal manure removal in stacked chicken farms can make the contact state between each scraper blade and the roller consistent through a flexible adjustment structure, avoiding installation gaps caused by various errors, thereby improving the uniformity between the scraper blade and the roller and ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0037] The technical solutions 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.

[0038] refer to Figure 1-6 A scraper device for longitudinal manure removal in stacked chicken farming includes a fixed frame 1, multiple manure removal structures 3, and a flexible adjustment structure 4. The fixed frame 1 is the supporting foundation of the entire device. Multiple rotatable rollers 2 are evenly spaced on the fixed frame 1. The installation height of the rollers 2 should be consistent with the height of the chicken manure conveyor belt below the chicken cage to ensure that the chicken manure can fall smoothly onto the rollers 2. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The multiple manure removal structures 3 are evenly spaced on the fixed frame 1 and located on one side of the rollers 2 to scrape the chicken manure off the rollers 2. The flexible adjustment structure 4 is located on the fixed frame 1 and connected to the multiple manure removal structures 3, which can realize the contact and separation between the manure removal structures 3 and the rollers 2.

[0039] In some embodiments, the fixing frame 1 includes two vertical plates 11 and a horizontal plate 12 disposed on top of the two vertical plates 11. The two vertical plates 11 can be vertically fixed on the ground or support of the chicken house, ensuring that the two vertical plates 11 are symmetrically arranged and parallel to each other to form an installation space. They can be fixed by welding or by bolts. A roller 2 and a manure removal structure 3 are provided between the two vertical plates 11. A flexible adjustment structure 4 is provided on the end face of the two vertical plates 11. Both the vertical plates 11 and the horizontal plate 12 can be made of high-strength steel and can be welded to ensure that the fixing frame 1 has sufficient rigidity and stability to withstand the force and vibration generated during the manure removal process.

[0040] In some embodiments, the manure removal structure 3 includes two rotating plates 31, a connecting plate 32, and a scraper 33. One end of each rotating plate 31 is rotatably mounted on a fixed frame 1 and connected to a flexible adjustment structure 4, while the other end is connected to the connecting plate 32, forming a rotatable frame structure. The rotating plates 31 and the vertical plate 11 can be connected via a fixed shaft, allowing the rotating plates 31 to rotate around the fixed shaft. The scraper 33 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the connecting plate 32. The scraper 33 can be made of wear-resistant rubber or plastic, and its shape matches the surface of the roller 2, allowing it to closely adhere to the surface of the roller 2. This effectively scrapes chicken manure off the roller 2 and removes it from the breeding area through longitudinal movement, thus achieving the cleaning of chicken manure on the roller 2. The scraping of chicken manure off the roller 2 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, the scraper 33 has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to adapt to minor deviations on the surface of the roller 2 and ensuring close contact with the roller 2. The scraper 33 can be fixed with bolts, facilitating its replacement and maintenance.

[0041] In some embodiments, the flexible adjustment structure 4 includes two flexible adjustment units, which are disposed on the end face of the vertical plate 11, allowing the operator to operate from the side and avoid being contaminated by chicken manure when cleaning the chicken manure on the roller 2, thus affecting the operation.

[0042] In some embodiments, the flexible adjustment unit includes two pulleys 41, a tensioning component 42, and a connecting rope 43. The two pulleys 41 are respectively located at the top and bottom of the vertical plate 11. The pulleys 41 can reduce friction, making the adjustment process smoother, and can also change the direction of the force. The tensioning component 42 is located between the two pulleys 41 and can adjust the tension of the connecting rope 43, thereby controlling the contact and separation between the manure removal structure 3 and the roller 2. The connecting rope 43 is located between the two pulleys 41 and the tensioning component 42. Through the transmission of the pulleys 41 and the adjustment of the tensioning component 42, the manure removal structure 3 can be pulled or relaxed, thereby achieving the contact and separation between the manure removal structure 3 and the roller 2. The connecting rope 43 can be made of high-strength steel wire rope, which has sufficient strength and flexibility to transmit tension and adapt to installation errors and roller angle errors.

[0043] In some embodiments, the tensioning assembly 42 includes a fixed groove plate 421, a slot 422, an arc-shaped groove plate 423, and a retaining shaft 424. The fixed groove plate 421 is disposed on the end face of the vertical plate 11 and provides support for the tensioning assembly 42. It can be fixed by bolts. The slot 422 is disposed on the top of the fixed groove plate 421. The bottom of the arc-shaped groove plate 423 is rotatably disposed on the fixed groove plate 421 and can be installed by a hinge shaft, allowing the arc-shaped groove plate 423 to rotate around the hinge shaft. The arc-shaped groove plate 423 is connected to the connecting rope 43. The retaining shaft 424 is horizontally disposed within the arc-shaped groove plate 423 and can be secured within the slot 422. Through the securing cooperation between the retaining shaft 424 and the slot 422, the arc-shaped groove plate 423 can be fixed on the fixed groove plate 421, thereby fixing the tension of the connecting rope 43.

[0044] In some embodiments, the tensioning assembly 42 further includes a handle 425, which is fixedly connected to the arcuate groove plate 423, making it convenient for the operator to manually adjust the tensioning assembly 42.

[0045] In some embodiments, the flexible adjustment unit further includes a compression spring 44, a compression nut 45, a compression screw 46, and a locking screw 47. The compression spring 44 is mounted on the rotating plate 31 and provides a certain elastic support force for the manure removal structure 3. When the manure removal structure 3 contacts the drum 2, the compression spring 44 can buffer the impact force between the two, protecting the equipment from damage. The compression nut 45 is coaxially mounted on the compression spring 44. The compression screw 46 is threadedly connected to the compression nut 45, and a connecting rope 43 passes through the compression screw 46. By rotating the compression screw 46, the position of the compression nut 45 on the compression screw 46 can be changed, thereby adjusting the compression degree of the compression spring 44, and thus adjusting the contact pressure between the manure removal structure 3 and the drum 2. At the same time, the elastic effect of the compression spring 44 can further compensate for installation errors and drum angle errors. The locking screw 47 is laterally mounted on the compression screw 46, which can fix the connecting rope 43 to the compression screw 46. By locking the screw 47, it can be ensured that the connecting rope 43 will not loosen during transmission.

[0046] The specific working principle is as follows:

[0047] When manure removal is required, the operator holds handle 425 and rotates the arc-shaped trough plate 423 upwards. The arc-shaped trough plate 423 rotates around the hinge axis of the fixed trough plate 421, causing the connecting rope 43 to tighten. The tension of the connecting rope 43 is transmitted to the compression screw 46 through the pulley 41. The compression screw 46 moves downwards, causing the compression nut 45 to move and compress the compression spring 44. The elastic force generated by the compression spring 44 pushes the rotating plate 31 to rotate around its hinge axis, causing the scraper 33 to rotate towards the roller 2, eventually pressing against the surface of the roller 2. At this time, the tension of the connecting rope 43 and the elastic force of the compression spring 44 work together to maintain appropriate contact pressure between the scraper 33 and the roller 2, ensuring the manure removal effect. As the roller 2 rotates with the chicken manure conveyor belt, the scraper 33 presses against the surface of the roller 2, scraping off the chicken manure adhering to the roller 2, thus achieving the manure removal function. Due to the flexible connection between the connecting rope 43 and the compression spring 44, even if there are installation errors or angular deviations in the roller 2, the compression spring 44 can compensate through elastic deformation, maintaining uniform contact pressure between the scraper 33 and the roller 2, and ensuring consistent cleaning results. When the cleaning operation is completed or equipment maintenance is required, the operator turns the handle 425 downwards to loosen the arc-shaped groove plate 423. The tension of the connecting rope 43 decreases, the compression spring 44 returns to its original state, pushing the compression screw 46 upwards, causing the rotating plate 31 to rotate in the opposite direction around the hinge axis, separating the scraper 33 from the roller 2, facilitating cleaning and maintenance operations.
