Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock pen equipment, and in particular to livestock pen equipment for beef cattle with automatic manure cleaning and separation functions. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of large-scale and intensive development of modern animal husbandry, automated management equipment for beef cattle pens has become a key element in improving breeding efficiency and environmental quality. With the continuous expansion of breeding scale, the workload and importance of manure cleaning in the pens are becoming increasingly prominent. The traditional manual cleaning methods in breeding models can no longer meet the needs of modern breeding for efficient, environmentally friendly, and intelligent management.

[0003] Currently, most cattle farms still rely on manual sweeping for manure removal. This method requires farmers to manually sweep each section of the pen floor with tools, then flush the manure into drainage ditches. This requires multiple people working together, and a single cleaning session can take several hours, resulting in extreme labor intensity. Furthermore, manual cleaning easily leads to odor pollution due to prolonged manure accumulation, and the inability to promptly separate solid and liquid manure results in overflowing wastewater and accumulated solid manure. This increases the difficulty of subsequent manure resource utilization and can potentially cause livestock diseases due to the unsanitary environment. This inefficient cleaning method has become a major bottleneck restricting the improvement of farming efficiency and compliance with environmental standards.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the existing problems that require multiple people to work together, take several hours to complete a single cleaning, and are extremely labor-intensive, there is a need for a beef cattle breeding pen equipment with automatic manure cleaning and separation functions to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of existing technologies requiring multiple people to work, taking several hours for a single cleaning operation, and being extremely labor-intensive, this application provides a beef cattle farming system with automatic manure cleaning and separation functions.

[0006] The pen equipment, driven by a motor to rotate spiral and agitator blades, combined with high-pressure flushing from nozzles, automates the entire process of manure cleaning. It eliminates the need for manual manure removal, significantly reducing the labor intensity for livestock workers, shortening cleaning time, and improving the management efficiency of the livestock pens.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A cattle pen system with automatic manure cleaning and separation functions includes a foundation, a wall fixedly connected to the top of the foundation, a door panel connected to the front of the wall via a limiting component, and the left front end of the door panel rotatably connected to the front end of the wall. A water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front end of the wall, and a second water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first water supply pipe. A nozzle is fixedly connected to the rear end of the second water supply pipe. The nozzle is located on the inner circumference of the wall. A sludge collection trough is fixedly connected to the rear end of the foundation. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sludge collection trough. A spiral blade is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating rod. A filter hole is opened at the bottom end of the sludge collection trough. A second rotating rod is connected to the left end of the first rotating rod via a synchronization component. A deflector is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second rotating rod, and the outer wall of the deflector is located on the inner circumference of the wall.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the limiting component includes a first fixing plate located on the front side of the wall, a second fixing plate fixedly connected to the front end of the door panel, a limiting rod slidably connected to the inner circumference of the first fixing plate, and the outer wall of the limiting rod being disposed on the inner wall of the second fixing plate.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the synchronization component includes a synchronization wheel one located on the left side of the outer wall of the rotating rod one, and a synchronization wheel two fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod two, and the outer wall of the synchronization wheel one is connected to the synchronization wheel two through a synchronization belt.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, a motor is mounted on the left end of the sludge collection tank via a fixing frame, and the drive end of the motor is fixedly connected to the left end of the rotating rod.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a water collection tank is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sludge collection tank, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the right rear end of the water collection tank, and a sewage discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the right bottom end of the sludge collection tank.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, a sewage trough is fixedly connected to the bottom rear end of the wall.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, a protective plate one and a protective plate two are fixedly connected to the inner perimeter of the wall. The bottom end of the protective plate one is set at the top of the agitator blade, and the bottom end of the protective plate two is set at the top of the nozzle.

[0017] 1. In this invention, the entire process of manure cleaning is automated by using a motor to drive the spiral blades and agitator blades to rotate, combined with high-pressure rinsing from the nozzles. This eliminates the need for manual manure removal, significantly reducing the labor intensity of livestock workers, shortening cleaning time, and improving the management efficiency of livestock pens. For example, traditional manual cleaning requires multiple people and is time-consuming, while this equipment can complete the manure cleaning of a large area of ​​livestock pens in a short time.

[0018] 2. In this invention, the filter holes at the bottom of the sludge collection trough, combined with the squeezing action of the spiral blades, allow the water in the feces to be fully filtered out and flow into the water collection trough, while the solid feces are discharged through the sewage pipe.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] As shown in Figure 1- Figure 6 As shown, the cattle pen equipment with automatic manure cleaning and separation function includes a foundation 1. A wall 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the foundation 1. A door panel 3 is connected to the front of the wall 2 via a fixing plate 4, a fixing plate 5, and a limiting rod 6. The left front end of the door panel 3 is rotatably connected to the front end of the wall 2. A water supply pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front end of the wall 2. A water supply pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water supply pipe 7. A nozzle 9 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the water supply pipe 8. The nozzle 9 is located on the inner perimeter of the wall 2.

[0036] The base 1 has a fixed connection to a sludge collection tank 11 at its rear end. A rotating rod 16 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sludge collection tank 11. A spiral blade 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 16. A filter hole 18 is opened at the bottom of the sludge collection tank 11. A rotating rod 20 is connected to the left side of the outer wall of the rotating rod 16 via a synchronous belt 19, a synchronous pulley 1, and a synchronous pulley 2.

[0037] Specifically, water pipe 7 connects to an external water source, and water is transported to nozzles 9 on the inner perimeter of the enclosure 2 via water pipe 8. Nozzles 9 spray high-pressure water to flush manure from the foundation 1 into the drainage trough 10. A protective plate 23 is installed above the nozzles 9 to prevent damage during cattle movement, ensuring the stability of the flushing function. The drainage trough 10 is fixed to the bottom rear end of the enclosure 2 to collect the manure flushed by the nozzles 9. The spiral blades 17 on the outer wall of the rotating rod 16, when rotating, transport the manure from the collection trough 11 towards the drainage pipe 14. The filter holes 18 at the bottom of the collection trough 11 allow water from the manure to seep into the water collection trough 12, which is then discharged through the drain pipe 13. The spiral blades 17 apply pressure to the manure during transport, further improving the solid-liquid separation effect. The water collection trough 12 collects the filtered water, which is then centrally treated through the drain pipe 13 to prevent wastewater accumulation.

[0038] The wall 2 has a fixed plate 4 on the front side, and a fixed plate 5 is fixedly connected to the front end of the door panel 3. The inner circumference of the fixed plate 4 is slidably connected to a limit rod 6. The outer wall of the limit rod 6 is set on the inner wall of the fixed plate 5. The left end of the sludge collection tank 11 is mounted with a motor 15 through a fixed frame. The drive end of the motor 15 is fixedly connected to the left end of the rotating rod 16. The bottom end of the sludge collection tank 11 is fixedly connected to a water collection tank 12. The right rear end of the water collection tank 12 is fixedly connected to a drain pipe 13. The right bottom end of the sludge collection tank 11 is fixedly connected to a sewage pipe 14. The bottom rear end of the wall 2 is fixedly connected to a sewage trough 10. The inner circumference of the wall 2 is fixedly connected to a protective plate 22 and a protective plate 23. The bottom end of the protective plate 22 is set at the top of the agitator 21. The bottom end of the protective plate 23 is set at the top of the nozzle 9. The left end of the water supply pipe 7 is connected to a water source.

[0039] Specifically, fixing plate 4 is fixed to the front side of the wall 2, and fixing plate 5 is installed at the front end of the door panel 3. The limiting rod 6 passes through fixing plate 4 and fixing plate 5 to fix the door panel 3. When it is necessary to open the door panel 3, rotate the limiting rod 6 upwards to disengage it from the limiting groove of fixing plate 4, and then pull the limiting rod 6 to the right.

[0040] Once the limiting position on the second fixed plate 5 is released, the door panel 3 can be rotated to release the cattle. The first protective plate 22 is installed above the actuating blade 21, and the second protective plate 23 is installed above the nozzle 9, which can prevent the cattle from trampling and protect the structural integrity of the actuating blade 21 and the nozzle 9.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] As one of the optimized structural designs for Example 1, as shown in Figure 1- Figure 6 As shown, the one located on the rotating rod

[0043] Synchronous wheel 1 on the left side of the outer wall of 16 and synchronous wheel 20 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of synchronous wheel 2. The outer wall of synchronous wheel 1 is connected to synchronous wheel 2 via synchronous belt 19. A tug blade 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of tug blade 20. The outer wall of tug blade 21 is set on the inner circumference of the enclosure 2.

[0044] Specifically, motor 15 is mounted on the left end of the sludge collection tank 11 via a fixed bracket, driving rotating rod 16 to rotate. Rotating rod 16 drives rotating rod 20 via synchronous belt 19, achieving synchronous power transmission. A deflector 21 is mounted on rotating rod 20, with its outer wall extending to the inner circumference of the enclosure 2. When rotating rod 20 rotates, deflector 21 can move the feces in the sewage discharge tank 10 to the sludge collection tank 11, preventing feces from accumulating and clogging the sewage discharge tank 10. Since motor 15 needs to drive both spiral blade 17 and deflector 21 simultaneously, and the two are distributed in different positions (spiral blade 17 is located inside the sludge collection tank 11, and deflector 21 extends to the inner circumference of the enclosure), the synchronous belt 19 can achieve cross-space power transmission through flexible transmission, avoiding mechanical interference.

[0045] Working principle: When it is necessary to clean up the feces inside the enclosure 2, simply start the motor 15 and simultaneously start the nozzle 9. The high-pressure water jet sprayed by the nozzle 9 can flush the feces on the foundation 1 to the sewage trough 10. At the same time, due to the start of the motor 15, the rotating rod 16 drives the spiral blade 17 to rotate, and under the action of the synchronous belt 19, the rotating rod 20 drives the agitator blade 21 to rotate synchronously. When the feces are flushed to the vicinity of the sewage trough 10, the agitator blade 21 can push the feces into the collection trough 11, so that the feces fall more smoothly from the sewage trough 10 into the collection trough 11. Then, under the action of the rotating rod 16 and the spiral blade 17, the feces can be transported to the sewage pipe 14 for centralized transfer to a suitable location. During the movement of the feces in the collection trough 11, the water in the feces can be filtered into the water collection trough 12 through the filter holes 18.

[0046] The manure is centrally transferred through the drain pipe 13, and under the action of the spiral blade 17, the manure is squeezed to a certain extent, making the separation of matter and liquid more thorough. When it is necessary to transfer the cattle to another breeding pen, rotate the limit rod 6 upward to release the limitation of the limit rod 6 by the fixing plate 1 4. Then pull the limit rod 6 to the right to release the limitation of the limit rod 6 by the fixing plate 2 5, so that the door panel 3 can be opened from the fence 2 and the cattle can be released.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
