Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to an automatic washing device for live pigs. Background Technology

[0002] Pigs are a common type of livestock, and their breeding plays an important role in my country's animal husbandry. In the process of large-scale pig farming, in order to ensure the health of the pigs and the hygiene of the breeding environment, it is necessary to clean the pigs regularly. Currently, farmers usually run water pipes into the pig pens to clean the feces and other debris from the pigs' bodies. After rinsing, the floor of the pigpen is also rinsed to complete the washing operation. However, because pigs are somewhat active, they will instinctively run away when stimulated by water, which makes the washing operation relatively troublesome and time-consuming. Therefore, in order to improve washing efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of farmers, it is necessary to design a device that can automatically wash pigs.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN221532506U, which discloses an automatic live pig washing device. The device includes a baffle, with vertical plates on both sides of the front of the baffle, a base at the bottom of the baffle, and a recessed plate installed below the baffle. The automatic live pig washing device further includes: a collection device located above the base, a spraying device installed above the vertical plates, a washing device located below the baffle, and an adjusting device installed above the vertical plates. This solution, through the cooperation of the vertical plates, adjusting device, spraying device, and baffle, can confine and wash live pigs, preventing them from running around in fright. It also allows for spatial adjustment of the automatic live pig washing device to accommodate live pigs of various sizes. However, in practical use, the above solution still has the following shortcomings:

[0004] Although the above design can achieve automatic rinsing of live pigs, it can only rinse one pig at a time, making it unsuitable for rinsing large numbers of live pigs. The rinsing efficiency is low, and rinsing with tap water alone cannot effectively kill bacteria on the pigs. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides an automatic pig washing device, which solves the problems of related technologies that can only wash one pig at a time, are not suitable for washing large batches of live pigs, and have low washing efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic pig washing device, comprising a washing hood, a lifting component, a disinfection module, and a reciprocating assembly;

[0007] The flushing hood has a through cavity, and two symmetrically arranged flushing pipes are installed above the cavity. The top of the flushing hood has multiple spaced-apart ports, and multiple lifting components pass through the ports and extend into the cavity, dividing the cavity into multiple flushing areas.

[0008] The disinfection module and the reciprocating assembly are sequentially installed on the rinsing hood. The reciprocating assembly is connected to the lifting component on the adjacent side. The disinfection module includes a vortex component and a liquid supply component. The vortex component is connected to the reciprocating assembly. The liquid supply component is used to deliver disinfectant to the two rinsing pipes.

[0009] Preferably, the lifting component includes a baffle plate and an electric push rod. Multiple baffle plates pass through multiple slots and extend into the cavity. Multiple rinsing areas are separated by multiple baffle plates. Multiple electric push rods are installed on the side of the rinsing hood. Multiple baffle plates are driven to move up and down by multiple electric push rods.

[0010] Preferably, the disinfection module further includes a disinfection box, which is installed on the rinsing hood. The vortex component is installed on one inner wall of the disinfection box, and the liquid supply component is installed on the other side of the disinfection box. The top of the disinfection box has a liquid inlet, and the liquid inlet is sealed with a sealing plug.

[0011] Preferably, the liquid supply component includes a water pump, which is installed on the other side of the disinfection box. The outlet end of the water pump is connected to a liquid supply pipe, and the liquid supply pipe is connected to a diversion pipe. The two ends of the diversion pipe are respectively connected to two rinsing pipes, and the rinsing pipes are provided with multiple rinsing holes arranged at intervals.

[0012] Preferably, the swirl element includes an open mask and a paddle, the open mask is installed on one inner wall of the disinfection box, the paddle is rotatably installed inside the open mask, and the open mask is connected to the reciprocating assembly.

[0013] Preferably, the reciprocating assembly includes a reciprocating cylinder, a piston, a U-shaped rod, and a connecting pipe. The reciprocating cylinder is mounted on the rinsing hood and located on the side of the disinfection box. The piston is slidably disposed inside the reciprocating cylinder. The two ends of the U-shaped rod are respectively connected to the baffle plate and the piston. The bottom end of the reciprocating cylinder is connected to the open hood through the connecting pipe.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the rinsing hood has multiple sets of drain holes communicating with the cavity, and the bottom of the rinsing hood is equipped with a collection box communicating with the drain holes, and one end of the collection box is connected to a drain pipe.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This invention divides the rinsing hood into multiple rinsing zones using multiple lifting components, allowing multiple pigs to enter the rinsing hood. The lifting components are raised sequentially, allowing the pigs to enter their respective rinsing zones one by one, and finally exit from the tail end of the rinsing hood. When multiple pigs are placed in multiple rinsing zones, the disinfectant in the disinfection module can be delivered to the rinsing pipe through the liquid supply component. The rinsing pipe can then be used to rinse the pigs in multiple rinsing zones, enabling multiple pigs to be rinsed simultaneously. Compared to the traditional method of rinsing only one pig at a time, this improves the efficiency of live pig rinsing and can meet the rinsing needs of large batches of live pigs. Furthermore, during the rinsing process, the disinfectant in the disinfection module is delivered to the rinsing pipe through the liquid supply component to rinse the pigs. This not only removes dirt from the pigs but also effectively kills bacteria on their bodies, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the pigs and solving the problem that rinsing with tap water alone cannot effectively kill bacteria.

[0017] 2. When the lifting component near the reciprocating assembly is raised, it drives the reciprocating assembly upward, allowing the disinfectant in the disinfection module to enter the reciprocating assembly through the vortex component. As the disinfectant passes through the vortex component, it rotates due to the liquid flow. After the pig leaves the rinsing area, the lifting component descends, simultaneously driving the reciprocating assembly downward, allowing the disinfectant to re-enter the disinfection module through the vortex component. Throughout the process, the rotation of the vortex component and the up-and-down movement of the reciprocating assembly work together to fully agitate the disinfectant, effectively preventing sedimentation and ensuring its uniformity. This guarantees the stability and reliability of the rinsing and disinfection effect during the process and extends the effective service life of the disinfectant. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described 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.

[0026] according to Figures 1-5 As shown, an automatic pig washing device includes a washing hood 1, a lifting component 2, a disinfection module 3, and a reciprocating assembly 4.

[0027] The flushing hood 1 has a through cavity 101. Two symmetrically arranged flushing pipes 102 are installed above the cavity 101. The top of the flushing hood 1 has multiple spaced inlets. Multiple lifting components 2 pass through multiple inlets and extend into the cavity 101. The multiple lifting components 2 divide the cavity 101 into multiple flushing areas.

[0028] The disinfection module 3 and the reciprocating assembly 4 are installed sequentially on the rinsing hood 1. The reciprocating assembly 4 is connected to the lifting component 2 on the adjacent side. The disinfection module 3 includes a swirling component 32 and a liquid supply component 33. The swirling component 32 is connected to the reciprocating assembly 4. The liquid supply component 33 is used to deliver disinfectant to the two rinsing pipes 102.

[0029] The cavity 101 inside the rinsing hood 1 is used to accommodate live pigs. Two symmetrically arranged rinsing pipes 102 can spray disinfectant to rinse the live pigs. Multiple lifting components 2 extend into the cavity 101 through the inlet at the top of the rinsing hood 1, dividing it into multiple rinsing areas. The liquid supply component 33 in the disinfection module 3 delivers disinfectant to the rinsing pipes 102. The reciprocating component 4 is connected to the lifting component 2 and drives it to work when the lifting component 2 moves, so that the disinfectant flows in the disinfection module 3 and the reciprocating component 4. This allows multiple live pigs to be rinsed in different rinsing areas at the same time, improving rinsing efficiency, meeting the needs of rinsing large batches of live pigs, and effectively killing bacteria with disinfectant.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, the lifting component 2 includes a baffle plate 21 and an electric push rod 22. Multiple baffle plates 21 pass through multiple slots and extend into the cavity 101. Multiple rinsing areas are separated by multiple baffle plates 21. Multiple electric push rods 22 are installed on the side of the rinsing cover 1. Multiple baffle plates 21 are driven to move up and down by multiple electric push rods 22.

[0031] When the electric push rod 22 extends, the barrier 21 descends, separating the rinsing area. When the electric push rod 22 retracts, the barrier 21 rises, allowing live pigs to enter or leave the corresponding area. By controlling the raising and lowering of the barrier 21 through the electric push rod 22, the rinsing area can be flexibly adjusted, making it convenient for live pigs to enter and leave in sequence, and making the rinsing process more orderly.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, the disinfection module 3 also includes a disinfection box 31, which is installed on the rinsing cover 1. A swirling element 32 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the disinfection box 31, and a liquid supply element 33 is installed on the other side of the disinfection box 31. A liquid inlet is opened on the top of the disinfection box 31, and a sealing plug 34 is sealed inside the liquid inlet.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, the liquid supply component 33 includes a water pump 331, which is installed on the other side of the disinfection box 31. The outlet end of the water pump 331 is connected to a liquid supply pipe 332, and the liquid supply pipe 332 is connected to a diversion pipe 333. The two ends of the diversion pipe 333 are respectively connected to two rinsing pipes 102. The rinsing pipes 102 are provided with a plurality of rinsing holes 1021 arranged at intervals.

[0034] During operation, the disinfectant solution in the disinfection tank 31 is extracted and transported to the diversion pipe 333 through the supply pipe 332. The diversion pipe 333 sends the disinfectant solution into two flushing pipes 102 respectively, and then sprays it out from the flushing hole 1021 on the flushing pipe 102. The water pump 331, the supply pipe 332, the diversion pipe 333 and the flushing pipe 102 work together to achieve stable delivery and uniform spraying of the disinfectant solution, ensuring the flushing and disinfection effect on live pigs.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the swirling component 32 includes an open mask 321 and a paddle 322. The open mask 321 is installed on one inner wall of the disinfection box 31, and the paddle 322 is rotatably installed inside the open mask 321. The open mask 321 is connected to the reciprocating assembly 4. When the disinfectant flows from the reciprocating assembly 4 through the open mask 321, it drives the paddle 322 to rotate. The rotation of the paddle 322 agitates the disinfectant, preventing it from settling and ensuring its uniformity, thereby ensuring the stability of the rinsing and disinfection effect.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the reciprocating assembly 4 includes a reciprocating cylinder 41, a piston 42, a U-shaped rod 43, and a connecting pipe 44. The reciprocating cylinder 41 is installed on the rinsing hood 1 and located on the side of the disinfection box 31. The piston 42 is slidably disposed inside the reciprocating cylinder 41. The two ends of the U-shaped rod 43 are respectively connected to the baffle plate 21 and the piston 42. The bottom end of the reciprocating cylinder 41 is connected to the open mask 321 through the connecting pipe 44. When the baffle plate 21 is raised or lowered, the piston 42 is driven to move up and down inside the reciprocating cylinder 41 through the U-shaped rod 43. The bottom end of the reciprocating cylinder 41 is connected to the open mask 321 through the connecting pipe 44. When the piston 42 moves, the disinfectant flows back and forth between the reciprocating cylinder 41 and the disinfection box 31. The reciprocating motion of the piston 42, in conjunction with the swirling element 32, further agitates the disinfectant, enhancing the effect of preventing the disinfectant from settling and allowing the disinfectant to be recycled in the system.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the bottom of the flushing hood 1 is provided with a plurality of drain holes 104 communicating with the cavity 101, and the bottom of the flushing hood 1 is provided with a collection box 103 communicating with the drain holes 104, and one end of the collection box 103 is connected to a drain pipe 105.

[0038] Wastewater and dirt generated during rinsing flow into collection tank 103 through drain hole 104. Drain pipe 105 at one end of collection tank 103 is used to discharge the collected wastewater. Drain hole 104, collection tank 103 and drain pipe 105 form a sewage discharge system to collect and discharge wastewater generated during rinsing in a timely manner and maintain the cleanliness of the rinsing environment.

[0039] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0040] In use, live pigs are introduced into the cavity 101 of the rinsing hood 1. The electric push rod 22 drives the baffle 21 to descend, dividing the cavity 101 into multiple rinsing areas, allowing multiple live pigs to be in different areas. The water pump 331 is started, and the disinfectant in the disinfection tank 31 enters the rinsing pipe 102 through the supply pipe 332 and the diversion pipe 333, and is sprayed out from the rinsing hole 1021 to rinse the live pigs. When it is necessary for the live pigs to enter the next rinsing area, the electric push rod 22 drives the baffle 21 to rise, and at the same time, the U-shaped rod 43 drives the piston 42 to move upward in the reciprocating cylinder 41, so that the disinfectant in the disinfection tank 31 passes through the open hood 32. 1. The connecting pipe 44 enters the reciprocating cylinder 41. During this process, the disinfectant pushes the paddle 322 to rotate. After the live pig leaves the rinsing hood 1, the baffle 21 descends and the piston 42 moves down. The disinfectant in the reciprocating cylinder 41 flows back to the disinfection box 31 through the open mask 321. The paddle 322 rotates again. The sewage and dirt generated during rinsing flow into the collection box 103 through the drain hole 104 and are then discharged through the drain pipe 105. Throughout the process, the lifting component 2 separates the rinsing area to allow multiple live pigs to be rinsed simultaneously. The disinfection module 3 and the reciprocating component 4 work together to deliver, circulate, and agitate the disinfectant, ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of rinsing and disinfection.

[0041] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
