Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of livestock equipment technology, specifically relating to a feed collection head and a manure removal vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid advancement of intensive livestock farming, the frequency of manure removal operations in cattle farms has increased significantly due to the continuous expansion of breeding scale and increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements. As a core piece of equipment for ensuring a clean breeding environment and promoting healthy animal growth, the structural design and operational efficiency of manure removal trucks directly determine breeding costs and environmental hygiene. Therefore, improving the working efficiency of manure removal trucks and reducing their operating costs has become one of the key research focuses.
[0003] Currently, mainstream manure collection trucks on the market adopt a modular design concept where the lifting head and collection box are connected front and rear to improve the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment. In this design, the lifting head includes a lifting cylinder and a built-in vertical lifting auger, while the collection head includes a built-in horizontal collection auger. When the manure collection truck is in operation, the lifting head descends relative to the collection box, allowing the collection head to contact the ground, thus achieving effective lifting and collection of manure. In non-operational mode, the lifting head rises relative to the collection box, keeping the collection head away from the ground to facilitate equipment movement and ensure operational safety and convenience.
[0004] To further optimize the feeding process, most existing horizontal collecting augers employ symmetrically distributed left-handed and right-handed blades. This not only achieves bidirectional, uniform, and stable feeding from both sides but also ensures consistent feeding uniformity. However, since the optical axis section between the left-handed and right-handed blades corresponds to the feed inlet of the lifting cylinder, and this section lacks blades, its length is designed to be relatively short to prevent leakage, thus limiting the size of the feed inlet. While this design reduces the risk of leakage, it also restricts the efficiency of manure lifting. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the various shortcomings of the existing technology, a material collection head and manure cleaning vehicle are proposed to solve the technical problem that the size of the feed inlet of the lifting cylinder is reduced due to space and structural limitations in the existing technology, which in turn affects the efficiency of manure lifting.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a material collection head, including a collection auger. The collection auger includes a cylinder, material-pushing blades, and spiral collection blades. A plurality of material-pushing blades are arranged along the circumference of the cylinder, and the spiral collection blades are located on the side of the material-pushing blades and extend along the axial direction of the cylinder.
[0008] The technical solution is further configured such that the feeding blade is tangential to the cylinder.
[0009] The technical solution is further configured such that an auxiliary blade is provided at the end of the feeding blade, and the feeding blade and the auxiliary blade form a groove-shaped structure.
[0010] The technical solution is further configured such that the first end of the auxiliary blade is connected to the material-feeding blade, and its second end is inclined away from the material-feeding blade.
[0011] The technical solution is further configured such that the width of the second end of the auxiliary blade is smaller than the width of its first end.
[0012] The technical solution is further configured to include a collection housing, wherein the end of the collection auger is rotatably connected to the collection housing via a connecting shaft.
[0013] The technical solution is further configured such that the spiral collecting blade includes a left spiral collecting blade and a right spiral collecting blade, and the material feeding blade is located between the left spiral collecting blade and the right spiral collecting blade.
[0014] Secondly, this utility model provides a manure cleaning vehicle, including a lifting head and the aforementioned collecting head, wherein the material-dispensing blades are arranged corresponding to the feed inlet of the lifting head.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] The spiral collecting blades enable uniform and stable lateral feeding, while the pushing blades push the collected manure out of the collecting head. By setting up the spiral collecting blades and the pushing blades, the collecting head has the functions of receiving and feeding, maximizing the delivery of the collected manure to the lifting head. The pushing blades and spiral collecting blades work together to break through the traditional optical shaft section size limitation, which can increase the length of the feed inlet of the lifting head and improve the operating efficiency.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up," "down," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings; therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention.
[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a material collection head is provided; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The system includes a collection housing 1 and a collection auger 2 disposed inside the collection housing 1. The front end of the collection housing 1 is provided with a first side arm 3 and a second side arm 4, which can expand or retract relative to the collection housing 1. A drive unit 7 is disposed on the outside of the collection housing 1 to drive the collection auger 2 to rotate. The rear end of the collection housing 1 is connected to a lifting head via a storage housing 8, and the junction of the storage housing 8 and the collection housing 1 is the inlet of the lifting head. After the drive unit 7 is activated, it drives the collection auger 2 to rotate, collecting and pushing the feces to the lifting head. The feces are then lifted and conveyed upwards along the lifting head and output.
[0026] Furthermore, the collecting housing 1 is provided with a first telescopic element 5 for driving the first side arm 3 and a second telescopic element 6 for driving the second side arm 4. The first telescopic element 5 and the second telescopic element 6 are preferably cylinders or hydraulic cylinders.
[0027] Furthermore, the drive unit 7 includes a drive motor and a reducer. The reducer is connected to the connecting shaft 10 of the collecting auger 2 via a coupling. The connecting shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the collecting housing 1.
[0028] Furthermore, an auger is provided inside the lifting head, which extends into the storage housing 8 and is rotatably connected to the storage housing 8.
[0029] In one type of material collection head in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The collecting auger 2 includes a cylinder 9, a feeding blade 11, and a spiral collecting blade. Several feeding blades 11 are arranged along the circumference of the cylinder 9. The spiral collecting blade is located on the side of the feeding blade 11 and extends along the axial direction of the cylinder 9.
[0030] Furthermore, the cylinder 9 is configured as a cylindrical structure, serving as the basis for the feeding blades 11 and the spiral collection blades, which in turn contact, push, and guide the feces.
[0031] Specifically, the feeding blades 11 are arranged tangentially to the cylinder 9, which better aligns with the rotation direction of the collecting auger 2. Compared to vertically or randomly arranged blades, the tangential arrangement reduces jamming and impact, decreases resistance, and improves the smoothness of the feeding and pushing actions, helping to smoothly push the feces towards the lifting head. Simultaneously, the tangential arrangement makes the contact between the feeding blades 11 and the feces closer to sliding friction than impact, thereby reducing wear, extending service life, reducing the instantaneous load on the drive unit 7, and making the overall operation smoother.
[0032] In one type of material collection head in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The end of the feeding blade 11 is provided with an auxiliary blade 12, and the feeding blade 11 and the auxiliary blade 12 form a groove-shaped structure.
[0033] Furthermore, the first end of the auxiliary blade 12 is connected to the material-pushing blade 11, and its other end is inclined away from the material-pushing blade 11. The material-pushing blade 11 and the auxiliary blade 12 located at its two ends form a groove-shaped structure. This groove-shaped structure design enhances the strength of the material-pushing blade 11 and helps reduce the risk of deformation or damage to the material-pushing blade 11 due to large pressure or impact during operation. At the same time, the groove-shaped structure also helps reduce leakage of feces during the pushing process. In addition, it has the ability to collect and push both dry and wet feces, solving the problem that existing fecal cleaning trucks are too picky about the moisture content of feces.
[0034] Specifically, the auxiliary blade 12 and the feeding blade 11 form an obtuse angle, preferably 120°-150°. This structural design ensures that the manure enters the trough structure smoothly with low resistance, improving operational efficiency.
[0035] Furthermore, the width of the second end of the auxiliary blade 12 is smaller than the width of its first end. Specifically, the first side of the auxiliary blade 12 is connected to the cylinder 9, and its second side is away from the central axis of the cylinder as the free side of the auxiliary blade. Similarly, the first side of the feeding blade 11 is connected to the cylinder 9, and its second side is away from the central axis of the cylinder as the free side of the feeding blade. Compared with the free side of the feeding blade, the free side of the auxiliary blade is closer to the central axis of the cylinder. Under the premise of ensuring strength, this avoids obstructing the conveying process of feces from the spiral collection blade to the feeding blade 11.
[0036] In one type of material collection head in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The spiral collecting blades include a left spiral collecting blade 13 and a right spiral collecting blade 14, and the material feeding blade 11 is located between the left spiral collecting blade 13 and the right spiral collecting blade 14.
[0037] Specifically, the feeding blade 11 is located in the middle of the cylinder 9, and the left spiral collecting blade 13 and the right spiral collecting blade 14 are located on both sides of the feeding blade 11, and the two are symmetrically arranged to achieve uniform and stable feeding in both directions.
[0038] During operation, the left spiral collecting blade 13 and the right spiral collecting blade 14 gather the feces towards the center, while the feeding blade 11 pushes the material perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylinder 9, thus resolving the contradiction of "axial conveying - radial falling" in traditional horizontal augers.
[0039] Example 2:
[0040] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a manure cleaning vehicle is provided. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The system includes a lifting head and a collection head, with the feeding blade 11 corresponding to the feed inlet of the lifting head. The feeding blade 11 works in conjunction with the left-hand spiral collection blade 13 and the right-hand spiral collection blade 14, breaking through the traditional limitations of the optical axis section size and increasing the length of the feed inlet of the lifting head. This increased inlet length allows more waste to be collected and fed into the lifting head simultaneously, improving the processing capacity per unit time and thus increasing operational efficiency. Furthermore, the larger feed inlet also helps reduce the risk of blockage, ensuring the continuity and stability of the operation.
[0041] Furthermore, the length of the feed inlet of the lifting head is no greater than the length of the feeding blade 11, ensuring the rationality and compactness of the overall equipment structure. This design guarantees sufficient feeding space while avoiding unnecessary structural redundancy.
