Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heating equipment for animal husbandry, and in particular to an infrared radiation plate for pig farm nursery. Background Technology
[0002] Existing heating equipment for pig nursery generally includes heating tubes. For example, Chinese patent document with application number CN202322385665.6 discloses a heating device for pig nursery pigs. By symmetrically arranging heating parts composed of heating tubes within the limiting part, the distance between the heating parts can be controlled during the operation of the limiting part, thereby adjusting the heating position of the heating parts. When the distance between the heating parts is small, local high-temperature heating can be achieved, and when the distance between the heating parts is large, the local heating temperature can be reduced.
[0003] However, the aforementioned pig farm nursery heating equipment has a complex structure, and the heating range of the heating tubes is limited. To achieve uniform heating of the nursery pigs' living environment, multiple heating tubes need to be used simultaneously, which increases the procurement cost of the heating tubes. Furthermore, the layout of multiple pipelines requires complex installation procedures. In addition, the heating tubes are easily damaged in the humid environment of the pig farm, which not only fails to guarantee uniform heating of the nursery pigs' living environment but also further increases the procurement cost of the heating tubes.
[0004] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present invention provides an infrared radiation plate for pig nursery, which aims to solve the problems of complex structure, high operating cost and difficulty in achieving uniform heating of the living environment of nursery pigs in existing pig nursery heating equipment.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An infrared radiation plate for pig farm nursery includes a shell and a first heating element. The first heating element is located inside the shell and is attached to the front inner wall of the shell. The first heating element includes at least one of an epoxy heating element, a mica heating element, and an electric heating film. Both the epoxy heating element and the mica heating element are provided with iron-chromium-aluminum heating wires.
[0008] Optionally, the infrared radiation plate for pig farm nursery also includes a heat insulation layer located inside the shell; the heat insulation layer is attached to the rear inner wall of the shell, or to the back of the first heating element.
[0009] Optionally, the infrared radiation plate for pig farm nursery also includes an anti-corrosion coating; the anti-corrosion coating is provided on the front outer wall of the shell, and the anti-corrosion coating is an anti-corrosion paint coating or an epoxy anti-corrosion coating.
[0010] Optionally, the anti-corrosion coating may contain a far-infrared emitter.

When a component is referred to as "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have an intervening component present.
[0029] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this utility model is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides an infrared radiation plate for pig farm nursery, including a shell 1; and a first heating element 2; the first heating element 2 is located inside the shell 1 and is attached to the front inner wall of the shell 1; the first heating element 2 includes at least one of epoxy heating element, mica heating element, and electric heating film; both the epoxy heating element and the mica heating element are provided with iron-chromium-aluminum heating wires; and the front outer wall of the shell 1 is provided with a far-infrared coating 4.
[0031] The infrared radiation plate for pig nurseries provided by this utility model can be laid flat on the keel above the pigpen, with the front wall of the shell 1, which is fitted with the first heating element 2, facing downwards towards the ground. When the first heating element 2 is working, it can evenly transfer heat to the front wall of the shell 1. After the heat is transferred to the front wall of the shell 1, the far-infrared coating 4 on the outer front wall of the shell 1 radiates the heat downwards into the pigpen, thus heating the living environment of the nursery pigs. Compared with heating tubes, the first heating element 2 provided by this utility model can provide a uniform heating effect for the infrared radiation plate, while having a larger radiant heating area and higher heat conduction efficiency. Therefore, it is not necessary to use multiple heating tubes simultaneously to heat the living environment of the nursery pigs, avoiding the problem of increased pig farming costs due to increased purchase costs of heating plates. Moreover, the infrared emitting plate provided by this utility model has a simple structure, and users can directly plug it in after leaving the factory, eliminating complicated installation procedures. In addition, in the humid and regularly disinfected environment of pig farms, the service life of the infrared emitting plate (which can reach more than 5 years) is longer than that of the heating tube, which can greatly reduce the equipment investment of pig farming enterprises.
[0032] Furthermore, when the first heating element 2 is attached to the inner front wall of the housing 1, the first heating element 2 can uniformly heat the front wall of the housing 1, providing a uniform heating effect for the infrared emitting plate, thereby increasing the area of radiation heating, and without occupying too much space inside the housing 1, making the overall thickness of the infrared emitting plate thinner, which is convenient for transportation and installation.
[0033] Specifically, the electrothermal film can be an electrothermal film with PET film or imide film as the base film. The interior of the electrothermal film is formed by a conductive paste (such as carbon paste or silver paste) through a printing process to form a mesh or parallel heating circuit. When energized, it can generate heat through the current effect.
[0034] Specifically, both the epoxy heating element and the mica heating element contain iron-chromium-aluminum heating wires. The epoxy heating element can be attached to the inner front wall of the housing 1 via hot-pressing to ensure a more secure connection between the heating element and the housing 1. The iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire has high resistivity and good high-temperature resistance, and can quickly heat up and maintain a stable heat output after being energized, meeting the continuous heating needs of the pig farm nursery environment. The epoxy heating element is formed by curing epoxy resin to encapsulate the iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire, creating a high-strength insulating structure that is moisture-resistant, corrosion-resistant (suitable for the regularly disinfected environment of the pig farm), and less prone to breakage of the heating wire due to impact or vibration.
[0035] The mica heating element uses natural mica sheets as its base material. Its high temperature resistance and excellent insulation properties can effectively isolate the heating wire from the outside world and prevent the risk of leakage. At the same time, the flexibility of the mica sheet allows the heating element to bend appropriately, making it easy to fit the inner wall of the front side of the housing 1 for installation.
[0036] For example, the infrared radiation plate for pig nursery can be 1000mm long, 400mm wide, and 12.6mm thick. When infrared emitting plates of the above specifications are used side by side, under a room temperature of 24℃, the infrared emitting plates can achieve a heating temperature of 28-35℃ at a distance of 90cm (rated power 220W, rated operating voltage / frequency AC220V / 50HZ), thereby providing a suitable living environment temperature for nursery pigs.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, the infrared radiation plate for pig farm nursery further includes a heat insulation layer 3 located inside the housing 1; the heat insulation layer 3 is attached to the rear inner wall of the housing 1, or to the back of the first heating element 2. In this invention, the heat insulation layer 3 can be a polyurethane heat insulation layer 3. Since the infrared radiation plate for pig farm nursery provided by this invention typically requires downward heating, the heat insulation layer 3 on the back of the first heating element 2 inside the housing 1 prevents the heat generated by the first heating element 2 from being transferred upwards, thereby reducing heat loss and allowing the heat generated by the first heating element 2 to be used efficiently for piglet nursery.
[0038] Of course, based on the usage requirements of the infrared emitting plate in different scenarios, the heat insulation layer 3 may not be provided inside the housing 1. For example, in an optional embodiment, the infrared radiation plate for pig farm nursery also includes a second heating element 7. The type of the second heating element 7 can be the same as the type of the first heating element 2. The second heating element 7 is attached to the rear inner wall of the housing 1, so that the infrared emitting plate can achieve double-sided heating.
[0039] In an optional embodiment, the far-infrared coating 4 is an anti-corrosion paint coating or an epoxy anti-corrosion coating. Because pig farm environments are humid and require regular disinfection, the infrared emitting plate is at risk of corrosion if placed in such an environment for extended periods. Therefore, this embodiment prevents corrosion of the housing 1 by spraying the anti-corrosion coating 4 onto the front outer wall of the housing 1, thereby extending the service life of the infrared emitting plate. Of course, to better protect the housing 1 of the infrared emitting plate, the anti-corrosion coating 4 is not limited to the front outer wall of the housing 1; it can be applied to all other walls of the housing 1. The dustproof and waterproof performance rating of the entire infrared radiation plate provided by this invention can reach IP67.
[0040] Furthermore, the anti-corrosion paint coating or epoxy anti-corrosion coating incorporates a far-infrared emitter (by doping the anti-corrosion paint or epoxy anti-corrosion powder with a far-infrared emitter). The far-infrared emitter can be a metal oxide with high infrared emissivity, such as alumina or zirconium oxide. The introduction of a far-infrared emitter into the anti-corrosion paint coating or epoxy anti-corrosion coating can enhance the thermal radiation efficiency of the infrared emitting plate and improve the heating effect of the nursery pig's living environment.
[0041] Optionally, the infrared radiation plate for pig nursery also includes a circuit board 5 and a temperature limiter 6. The circuit board 5 is fixed to the inner front wall of the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the first heating element 2. The temperature limiter 6 is located inside the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 5. The temperature limiter 6 can detect the temperature of the front wall of the housing 1. When the temperature of the front wall of the housing 1 exceeds the normal temperature range, the temperature limiter 6 sends a feedback signal to the controller on the circuit board 5, thereby automatically cutting off the power supply to the infrared radiator, which can prevent the infrared radiator from heating too high and causing harm to the piglets.
[0042] Optionally, the infrared radiation panel for pig farm nursery also includes an indicator light 9, which is fixedly mounted on the housing 1 and electrically connected to the circuit board 5. The indicator light 9 is used to indicate the working status of the infrared emitting panel. For example, when the infrared emitting panel is working normally, the indicator light 9 illuminates; when the infrared emitting panel is damaged (e.g., the iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire in the first heating element 2 and the second heating element 7 breaks), the circuit board 5 is open-circuited. At this time, the voltage comparator on the circuit board 5 can output a low level, causing the transistor to be cut off and the indicator light 9 to turn off, thereby reminding the maintenance personnel to replace the infrared emitting panel in time.
[0043] In an optional embodiment, the surface of the circuit board 5 has a potting layer, which can improve the moisture-proof and leakage-proof performance of the circuit board 5, thus reducing the safety hazards of using the infrared emitting board.
[0044] In an optional embodiment, the housing 1 is a stainless steel housing 1, which can effectively resist the erosion of moisture in the humid environment of the pig farm and the corrosion of chemical agents during regular disinfection operations, thus extending the service life of the infrared emitting plate.
[0045] In an optional embodiment, a lifting ring 8 or a hanging member 10 is provided on the rear outer wall of the housing 1. Multiple lifting rings 8 can be provided, and they are vertically mounted on the rear wall of the housing 1. This allows the infrared emitting plate to be horizontally suspended below the keel above the pigpen by using the hanging member 10. Alternatively, the infrared emitting plate can be laid flat on the keel above the pigpen.
[0046] The mounting bracket 10 can be a 7-shaped bracket 10, which allows for the vertical installation of the infrared emitting panel, thereby enriching the applications of the infrared emitting panel. Of course, the structure of the mounting bracket 10 is not limited to the one described above.
[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
