Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of drying and disinfection technology, and in particular to a drying and disinfection device for calf feeding troughs. Background Technology

[0002] Calf farming is one of the mainstays of my country's livestock industry. During calf rearing, calves typically grow by adding food (such as milk or feed) to their feeding bowls. However, as the feeding bowls are used over time, food residue can breed bacteria. If the bowls are not cleaned regularly, these bacteria can cause diseases such as diarrhea in calves, thus increasing the cost of calf farming. Therefore, to avoid this, calf feeding bowls need to be cleaned and disinfected regularly. Once cleaned, disinfected, and dried, the feeding bowls can be reused.

[0003] Some existing small-scale ranches typically clean and disinfect calf feeding bowls without rinsing, allowing the disinfectant foam to dissipate naturally to prolong the sterilization time. The bowls are then placed in a ventilated area to air dry naturally or in direct sunlight. While this method is low-cost, it is time-consuming and highly dependent on natural conditions (such as sunlight), resulting in low drying and disinfection efficiency. Furthermore, to ensure disinfection effectiveness, the feeding bowls are not rinsed after cleaning, and any residual cleaning agent may cause secondary harm to the calves. Therefore, this application proposes a calf feeding bowl drying and disinfection device. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a calf feeding trough drying and disinfection device to solve the technical problems described in the background art above.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This application provides a drying and sterilization device for calf feeding troughs, comprising:

[0007] The support frame body includes two first support units spaced apart along a first direction, a second support unit and two third support units perpendicularly connected to the two first support units; the two third support units are symmetrical about the second support units, and multiple rows of calf feeding troughs distributed along the first direction are placed between them and the second support units from top to bottom and downwards.

[0008] Two drying and disinfection components are provided, both of which are mounted on the first support unit. Each drying and disinfection component includes multiple ultraviolet lamp groups. The irradiation direction of the multiple ultraviolet lamp groups is directed towards the multiple calf feeding troughs placed at the same height between the corresponding third support unit and the second support unit, and is used to dry and disinfect the multiple calf feeding troughs.

[0009] Optionally, each of the first support units includes a support base plate, a first vertical rod, and two second vertical rods;

[0010] The first vertical rod and the two second vertical rods are both disposed on the upper surface of the support base plate, and the two second vertical rods are symmetrical about the first vertical rod;

[0011] The two ends of the second support unit are respectively perpendicularly connected to the two first vertical rods corresponding to the two first support units, and the two ends of each third support unit are respectively perpendicularly connected to the two second vertical rods corresponding to the two first support units.

[0012] Optionally, each of the supporting base plates has at least two lockable casters on its lower surface.

[0013] Optionally, at least one horizontal reinforcing bar is provided between the two second vertical bars and the first vertical bar in each of the first support units.

[0014] Optionally, the second support unit includes a plurality of first horizontal bars;

[0015] Multiple first horizontal bars are arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom, and the two ends of each first horizontal bar are respectively vertically connected to two first support units.

[0016] Optionally, each of the third support units includes a plurality of second horizontal bars;

[0017] Multiple second horizontal bars are arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom, and the two ends of each second horizontal bar are respectively vertically connected to two first support units;

[0018] In this configuration, the first horizontal bar at the bottom of the second support unit is higher than the second horizontal bar at the bottom of each of the third support units, and the distance between any two adjacent second horizontal bars in each of the third support units is greater than 4 / 5 of the height of the calf feeding trough.

[0019] Optionally, the vertical distance between the first horizontal bar and the second horizontal bar is 2 / 3 to 4 / 5 of the height of the calf feeding trough.

[0020] Optionally, each of the ultraviolet lamp groups includes an ultraviolet disinfection lamp tube and a mounting plate;

[0021] The mounting plate is disposed on the support frame body, and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp is mounted on the corresponding mounting plate with its irradiation direction facing the calf feeding trough.

[0022] Optionally, the support frame body is made of Q235B material.

[0023] The calf feeding bowl drying and disinfection device provided in this application is vertically connected to two first support units at both ends of a second support unit, and two third support units symmetrical about the second support units are vertically connected to the first support units. Multiple rows of calf feeding bowls (these are cleaned and disinfected calf feeding bowls) distributed along a first direction are placed inclined downwards between each third support unit and the second support unit. The downward inclination of the calf feeding bowls allows the cleaning and disinfecting solution adhering to them to fall off quickly. In addition, two drying and disinfection components are provided on the first support unit (each drying and disinfection component corresponds one-to-one with the two second support units), and each drying and disinfection component includes an ultraviolet lamp group. Each ultraviolet lamp group corresponds to one row of calf feeding bowls, meaning that each ultraviolet lamp group performs ultraviolet drying on its corresponding row of calf feeding bowls. Since ultraviolet light has a strong bactericidal and disinfecting effect... In other words, compared with the prior art, this application not only improves the drying efficiency of the calf feeding bowl by tilting it downward between the second and third support units and by setting up an ultraviolet lamp group, but also achieves the effect of disinfecting the calf feeding bowl while drying it, thereby achieving the purpose of drying and disinfecting the calf feeding bowl.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] refer to Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a calf feeding trough drying and sterilization device, comprising:

[0031] The support frame body 100 includes two first support units 101 spaced apart along a first direction, a second support unit 102 perpendicularly connected to the two first support units 101, and two third support units 103. The two third support units 103 are symmetrical about the second support units 102, and are arranged in multiple rows inclined downwards from top to bottom along the first direction (see reference). Figure 1 The calf feeding bowls 200 are distributed in a manner that allows for cleaning, disinfection, and drying. The calf feeding bowls 200 are positioned at an angle downwards between the second support unit 102 and the third support unit 103, facilitating the rapid sliding of cleaning and disinfecting solution adhering to the calf feeding bowls 200 from their outer and inner walls, thus accelerating the drying process.

[0032] Two drying and disinfection components 300 are provided, both of which are mounted on the first support unit 101. Each drying and disinfection component 300 includes multiple ultraviolet lamp groups 301. The irradiation direction of each ultraviolet lamp group 301 is directed toward multiple calf feeding bowls 200 placed at the same height between the corresponding third support unit 103 and the second support unit 102, and is used to dry and disinfect the multiple calf feeding bowls 200.

[0033] The calf feeding bowl drying and disinfection device provided in this application is vertically connected to two first support units 101 at both ends of the second support unit 102, and two third support units 103 symmetrical about the second support unit 102 are vertically connected to the first support unit 101. Multiple rows of calf feeding bowls 200 (the calf feeding bowls 200 here are the cleaned and disinfected calf feeding bowls 200) are placed inclined downwards from top to bottom between each third support unit 103 and the second support unit 102. The inclined downward setting of the calf feeding bowls 200 allows the cleaning and disinfection liquid attached to them to fall off quickly. In addition, two drying and disinfection components 300 are provided on the first support unit 101 (each of the two drying and disinfection components 300 corresponds to one of the two second support units 102). Each drying and disinfection component 300 includes an ultraviolet lamp group 301, which corresponds to multiple rows of calf feeding bowls 200 located on the same side in the second direction and is used to dry the calf feeding bowls with ultraviolet light. Since ultraviolet light has a strong bactericidal and disinfection effect, compared with the prior art, this application improves the drying efficiency of the calf feeding bowls 200 by tilting the calf feeding bowls downward between the second support unit 102 and the third support unit 103 and by setting the ultraviolet lamp group 301. It also achieves the effect of disinfecting the calf feeding bowls 200 while drying them, thereby achieving the purpose of drying and disinfecting the calf feeding bowls 200.

[0034] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each first support unit 101 in this application includes a support base plate 1011, a first vertical rod 1012, and two second vertical rods 1013. Specifically, the first vertical rod 1012 and the two second vertical rods 1013 are all disposed on the upper surface of the support base plate 1011, and the two second vertical rods 1013 are symmetrical about the first vertical rod 1012. In order to ensure the stability of the first vertical rod 1012 and the two second vertical rods 1013 on the support base plate 1011, the first vertical rod 1012 is disposed in the middle of the support base plate 1011 along the second direction.

[0035] The two ends of the second support unit 102 are vertically connected to the two first vertical rods 1012 corresponding to the two first support units 101, and the two ends of each third support unit 103 are vertically connected to the two second vertical rods 1013 corresponding to the two first support units 101. This ensures that the second support unit 102 and the two third support units 103 are parallel to each other and extend along the first direction, so that multiple calf feeding troughs 200 with downward openings can be placed between the second support unit 102 and each third support unit 103. This enables the drying and disinfection of multiple rows and multiple calf feeding troughs 200 in each row at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of drying and disinfecting the calf feeding troughs 200.

[0036] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each support base plate 1011 in this application has at least two lockable casters 400 on its lower surface.

[0037] In the above embodiment, during the drying and disinfection of the calf feeding trough 200, the casters 400 are locked to ensure the stability of the entire calf feeding trough drying and disinfection device. When it is necessary to move the support frame body 100 to the desired position (such as near a power source to facilitate powering on the ultraviolet lamp assembly 301), the casters 400 are unlocked to allow the support frame body 100 to move. In other words, the casters 400 improve the ease of movement of the support frame body 100.

[0038] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this application, at least one horizontal reinforcing rod 500 is provided between the two second vertical rods 1013 and the first vertical rod 1012 in each first support unit 101. Since multiple rows of calf feeding troughs 200 are to be placed from top to bottom, the horizontal reinforcing rod 500 can be welded to the two second vertical rods 1013 and the first vertical rod 1012 to ensure the stability of the connection between the first vertical rod 1012 and the second vertical rod 1013, thereby enhancing the stability of the first support unit 101.

[0039] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The second support unit 102 in this application includes a plurality of first horizontal bars 1021; specifically, the plurality of first horizontal bars 1021 are arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom, and the two ends of each first horizontal bar 1021 are vertically connected to two first support units 101 respectively. The plurality of first horizontal bars 1021 enables the simultaneous placement of multiple rows of calf feeding troughs 200 from top to bottom, thereby improving the efficiency of drying and disinfecting the calf feeding troughs 200.

[0040] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 Each third support unit 103 in this application includes a plurality of second horizontal bars 1031; specifically, the plurality of second horizontal bars 1031 are arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom and the two ends of each second horizontal bar 1031 are respectively vertically connected to two first support units 101; and through the cooperation of the plurality of second horizontal bars 1031 and the plurality of first horizontal bars 1021, it is possible to simultaneously place multiple rows of calf feeding troughs 200 from top to bottom, thereby improving the efficiency of drying and disinfecting the calf feeding troughs 200.

[0041] In this design, the first horizontal bar 1021 at the bottom of the second support unit 102 is higher than the second horizontal bar 1031 at the bottom of each third support unit 103. This allows for simultaneous support of both the upper and lower sections of the calf feeding bowl 200, ensuring its stability during the drying and sterilization process. Furthermore, the distance between any two adjacent second horizontal bars 1031 in each third support unit 103 is greater than 4 / 5 of the height of the calf feeding bowl 200. This ensures that when the calf feeding bowl 200 is placed between the first horizontal bar 1021 and the second horizontal bar 1031, a slight tilt is sufficient to position it between them, and the calf feeding bowl 200 is less likely to fall.

[0042] In some embodiments, the vertical distance between the first horizontal bar 1021 and the second horizontal bar 1031 in this application is 2 / 3 to 4 / 5 of the height of the calf feeding bowl 200. This makes the angle between the calf feeding bowl 200, which is placed tilted downwards, and the horizontal plane between 30° and 80°, so that the cleaning and disinfecting liquid on the inner and outer walls of the calf feeding bowl 200 can fall off quickly, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the calf feeding bowl 200.

[0043] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Each UV lamp assembly 301 in this application includes a UV disinfection lamp tube 3011 and a mounting plate 3012; wherein, the UV disinfection lamp tube 3011 can be connected to a power source near the support frame body 100 via a wire to enable power supply to the UV disinfection lamp tube 3011.

[0044] Specifically, the mounting plate 3012 is mounted on the support frame body 100, and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 3011 is mounted on the corresponding mounting plate 3012 with its irradiation direction facing the calf feeding bowl 200. The mounting plate 3012 is concave, creating a certain gap between its concave surface and the second support unit 102, facilitating the placement of the calf feeding bowl 200 between the second support unit 102 and the third support unit 103. The mounting plate 3012 can be fixed to the support frame body 100 by welding.

[0045] In some embodiments, the support frame body 100 in this application is made of Q235B material, wherein Q235B has the characteristics of being lightweight and corrosion resistant, making it easy to move and having a better service life.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
