Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cow dung collection technology, and in particular to a cow dung collection device for cattle pens. Background Technology

[0002] In the current domestic market, cow manure collection mainly relies on large-scale machinery, which is typically suitable for large-scale farms.

[0003] Cow dung, a common agricultural waste, actually has multiple uses and wide applications. I. Agricultural Uses: Organic Fertilizer: Cow dung is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other key nutrients needed for plant growth, making it a high-quality organic fertilizer. Edible Fungus Cultivation: Cow dung, mixed with crop straw and fermented, can create a suitable culture medium for edible fungi. Soilless Culture Substrate: Cow dung can also be mixed with sawdust and other materials, fermented with nutrient solution, and used as a substrate for soilless cultivation. II. Energy and Environmental Protection: Biogas Production: Cow dung can be converted into biogas through biogasification and used as an energy source. Fuel: In some areas, dried cow dung is made into round "dung cakes" for use as fuel for heating and cooking. Water Treatment: The biological components in cow dung help purify water bodies and reduce pollutant levels. III. Other Uses: Animal Feed: After proper treatment, cow dung can be used as feed for certain animals. Building Material: In some areas, cow dung is mixed with soil and straw to make building materials for walls or roofs.

[0004] According to statistics, the vast majority of cattle farmers in my country have small-scale operations, with as many as 95% raising fewer than ten head of cattle. Large machinery is designed for large-scale integrated farms and is not suitable for small-scale farmers due to space limitations. For small-scale farmers, the traditional method of handling cattle manure often requires manual labor to bend over and shovel the manure with a shovel, then transfer it to a handcart or tricycle, and then transport the manure to a centralized treatment site for processing. The main process is to first separate the solid and liquid components, and finally compost the solid cattle manure or use it for other purposes.

[0005] The manual collection and disposal of cow dung is not only inefficient and creates a harsh environment that no one wants to do, but long-term labor can also cause serious damage to the worker's spine and other body parts.

[0006] Therefore, in response to this problem, this utility model proposes a cow manure collection device for cattle pens, aiming to provide small-scale farmers with an efficient and convenient solution for cow manure disposal.

[0007] To address this issue, a cow dung collection device for cattle pens was designed. Utility Model Content

[0008] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a cattle pen manure collection device, which includes a walking support component, a manure collection component, and a solid-liquid separation component.

[0009] The walking support assembly includes a tracked walking device with a base plate on it. A mounting plate is connected to one side of the base plate. A moving wheel is provided on one side of the mounting plate. A first-layer box is provided on the base plate. A second-layer box is provided on the first-layer box. The first-layer box and the second-layer box serve to support and collect fallen cow dung.

[0010] The mounting plate is equipped with a manure collection component; the top surface of the base plate is equipped with a solid-liquid separation component.

[0011] The manure collection assembly includes a first motor, a shovel plate, and a partition conveyor belt. A collection gear is provided on the output shaft of the first motor. The collection gear is coaxially connected to the collection plate at its shaft center. The collection gear is meshed with a conveyor belt drive gear. The first motor drives the collection gear to rotate, and the rotation of the collection gear synchronously drives the collection plate to rotate.

[0012] The collecting plate is located above the shovel plate. The distance from the extended shaft of the collecting plate and the center of the gear to the shovel plate is half the height of the collecting plate. The collecting plate can rotate while brushing against the upper surface of the shovel plate. One end of the collecting plate is connected to the collecting gear, and the other end is connected to the connector on one side of the partition conveyor belt through a bearing. The conveyor belt drive gear is connected to the partition conveyor belt, which is equipped with layers of partitions.

[0013] The solid-liquid separation assembly includes a fixed frame, a buffer plate, and a linear reciprocating mechanism. The red-pump plate is used to receive cow dung handed over by the partition. A guide gear is provided on one side of the buffer plate. The fixed frame is fixed on a first-layer box. A vertically arranged rack is provided on the fixed frame. The rack and the guide gear mesh.

[0014] A linear reciprocating mechanism is connected to a pressure plate, the top of which is hinged to the end of a buffer plate. A filter plate is arranged parallel to the pressure plate. The pressure plate and the filter plate are located above the second-layer box. The space enclosed by the pressure plate, the filter plate, and the top plate of the second-layer box between them is a squeezing groove. A baffle is installed on the outside of the squeezing groove to prevent cow dung from falling in. A liquid storage tank is installed below the filter plate, and the liquid storage tank is located above the mounting plate.

[0015] A fixing plate is provided at the top edge of the second-layer box, and a cylinder is provided on the fixing plate. The extension rod of the cylinder is connected to a scraper, and the scraper is inserted into the extrusion groove and is perpendicular to the extension rod of the cylinder.

[0016] A guide plate is provided below the cylinder, and the guide plate is inclined on one side of the second-layer box. A solid storage box is provided below the guide plate in the material feeding direction.

[0017] When the linear reciprocating mechanism pulls back the pressure plate, the pressure plate moves away from the filter plate. At the same time, the buffer plate hinged to the pressure plate stands upright, causing the cow dung on the buffer plate to fall into the squeezing groove. The linear reciprocating mechanism pushes the pressure plate outward, and the pressure plate moves closer to the filter plate and squeezes the cow dung in the middle. At this time, the liquid flows down from the holes in the filter plate into the liquid storage tank for collection.

[0018] When the cylinder's telescopic rod extends, the scraper is positioned close to the baffle. When the cylinder's telescopic rod retracts, the scraper scrapes the solid in the extrusion groove along the groove and pushes it onto the guide plate. The solid then rolls from the guide plate into the solid storage box for collection due to gravity.

[0019] Preferably, the outer surfaces of the shovel, collecting plate, partition, buffer plate, pressure plate, filter plate, scraper, guide plate, and solid storage box of the cattle pen manure collection device are uniformly coated with polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0020] Preferably, the linear reciprocating mechanism includes a second motor, the output shaft of which is connected to a crank-slider mechanism, and the end of the crank-slider mechanism is connected to a pressure plate;

[0021] The second motor starts, driving the crank-slider mechanism to move, and the crank-slider mechanism pulls back the pressure plate or pushes the pressure plate outward.

[0022] Preferably, the top plate of the second-layer tank located above the liquid storage tank is provided with filter holes to facilitate the downward flow of liquid.

[0023] Preferably, the liquid storage tank and the solid storage tank are detachable.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] The cow dung collection device for cattle pens described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0026] The manure collection device makes it easier to transport cow manure, solves the problem of manually bending over and using shovels to handle cow manure in the cowshed, improves the efficiency of collecting cow manure, and frees up manpower.

[0027] The solid-liquid separation device can directly separate the feces after collection, solving the previous problem of needing the safety department to collect the feces and then centrally process them, freeing up manpower and improving processing efficiency.

[0028] Suitable for small cattle pens, it frees up manpower from harsh environments, saves labor costs, and improves the efficiency of manure collection and treatment. Manure recycling brings more benefits to owners of small farms. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0041] Example

[0042] A cattle pen manure collection device includes a walking support assembly, a manure collection assembly, and a solid-liquid separation assembly.

[0043] The walking support assembly includes a tracked walking device 1, on which a base plate 2 is provided, and a mounting plate 3 is connected to one side of the base plate 2; a moving wheel is provided on one side of the mounting plate 3; a first-layer box 4 is provided on the base plate 2; a second-layer box 5 is provided on the first-layer box 4; the first-layer box 4 and the second-layer box 5 serve to support and collect fallen cow dung.

[0044] The mounting plate 3 is equipped with a manure collection component; the top surface of the bottom plate 2 is equipped with a solid-liquid separation component;

[0045] The manure collection assembly includes a first motor 9, a shovel 12, and a partition conveyor belt 13. A collection gear 10 is provided on the output shaft of the first motor 9. The collection gear 10 is coaxially connected to the collection plate 11 at the center of the shaft. The collection gear 10 is meshed with a conveyor belt drive gear 20. The first motor 9 drives the collection gear 10 to rotate, and the rotation of the collection gear 10 synchronously drives the collection plate 11 to rotate.

[0046] The collecting plate 11 is located above the shovel plate 12. The distance from the extended shaft of the collecting plate 11 and the center of the gear to the shovel plate 12 is half the height of the collecting plate 11. The collecting plate 11 can rotate while brushing against the upper surface of the shovel plate 12. One end of the collecting plate 11 is connected to the collecting gear 10, and the other end is connected to the connector on one side of the partition conveyor belt 13 through a bearing. The conveyor belt drive gear 20 is connected to the partition conveyor belt 13, which is provided with layers of partitions. The collecting gear 10 drives the conveyor belt drive gear 20 to rotate, and the rotation of the conveyor belt drive gear 20 drives the partition conveyor belt 13 to work.

[0047] The tracked walking device 1 moves, driving the mounting plate 3 to move forward. The mounting plate 3 drives the shovel 12 to shovel up the cow dung. The cow dung shoveled by the shovel 12 is pushed onto the partition plate by the rotating collection plate 11. The partition plate is then transported upward by the partition plate conveyor belt 13.

[0048] The solid-liquid separation assembly includes a fixed frame 16, a buffer plate 14, and a second motor 18. The buffer plate 14 is used to receive cow dung handed over by the partition. A guide gear 26 is provided on one side of the buffer plate 14. The fixed frame 16 is fixed on a first-layer box 4. A vertically arranged rack 15 is provided on the fixed frame 16. The rack 15 and the guide gear 26 mesh.

[0049] The output shaft of the second motor 18 is connected to the crank-slider mechanism 19 (the crank-slider mechanism 19 converts circular motion into linear reciprocating motion; the crank-slider mechanism is existing technology, which can be found on Baidu Encyclopedia, and its structure can be clearly seen in the figure, so it will not be described in detail). The end of the crank-slider mechanism 19 is connected to a pressure plate 22, and the top of the pressure plate 22 is hinged to the end of the buffer plate 14. A filter plate 21 is arranged parallel to the pressure plate 22. The pressure plate 22 and the filter plate 21 are located above the second-layer box 5. The space enclosed by the pressure plate 22, the filter plate 21 and the top plate of the second-layer box 5 between them is a squeezing groove. A baffle 25 is set on the outside of the squeezing groove to prevent cow dung from falling. A liquid storage tank 6 is set below the filter plate 21. The liquid storage tank 6 is located above the mounting plate 3.

[0050] The top plate of the second-layer tank 5, located above the liquid storage tank 6, is provided with filter holes to facilitate the downward flow of liquid;

[0051] A fixing plate 17 is provided on the top edge of the second-layer box 5. A cylinder 23 is provided on the fixing plate 17. The telescopic rod of the cylinder 23 is connected to a scraper 24. The scraper 24 is inserted into the extrusion groove and is perpendicular to the telescopic rod of the cylinder 23.

[0052] A guide plate 7 is provided below the cylinder 23. The guide plate 7 is inclined and located on one side of the second-layer box 5. A solid storage box 8 is provided below the guide plate 7 in the material feeding direction.

[0053] The liquid storage tank 6 and the solid storage tank 8 are detachable for easy emptying;

[0054] When the second motor 18 starts, it drives the crank-slider mechanism 19 to move. When the crank-slider mechanism 19 pulls back the pressure plate 22, the pressure plate 22 moves away from the filter plate 21. At the same time, the buffer plate 14 hinged to the pressure plate 22 stands upright, so that the cow dung on the buffer plate 14 falls into the squeezing groove. The crank-slider mechanism 19 pushes the pressure plate 22 outward, and the pressure plate 22 moves closer to the filter plate 21 and squeezes the cow dung in the middle. At this time, the liquid flows down from the holes of the filter plate 21 into the liquid storage tank 6 and is collected.

[0055] When cylinder 23 is activated and its extension rod extends, the scraper 24 is positioned close to the baffle 25. When the extension rod of cylinder 23 is shortened, the scraper 24 scrapes the solid in the extrusion groove along the groove and pushes it onto the guide plate 7. The solid then rolls from the guide plate 7 into the solid storage box 8 and is collected by gravity.

[0056] The outer surfaces of the shovel plate 12, collection plate 11, partition plate, buffer plate 14, pressure plate 22, filter plate 21, scraper 24, guide plate 7, and solid storage box 8 of the cattle pen manure collection device are uniformly coated with polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0057] The PTFE coating is corrosion-resistant, withstands extreme temperatures, requires no lubrication, and has a friction coefficient of only 0.04~0.2. It has ultra-low friction and self-lubricating properties, and is durable and non-stick, meaning that the surface energy is extremely low, making it difficult for materials to adhere and preventing cow dung from sticking together. In order to maintain a good anti-stick effect and prevent the PTFE coating from being scratched or peeling off after long-term use of the equipment, the PTFE coating can be reapplied every 6~12 months.

[0058] When using it, the cattle are usually driven out of the pen first, and the pen is left empty for more than half a day. The pen is then allowed to dry slightly, and the surface of the cow manure is allowed to air dry before processing. In addition, cow manure is mostly composed of plant fibers and is not sticky, so there is no possibility of it sticking to the equipment during processing.

[0059] The tracked walking device 1 moves, causing the mounting plate 3 to move forward. The mounting plate 3 drives the shovel 12 to shovel up the cow dung. The cow dung shoveled by the shovel 12 starts the first motor 9, which drives the collecting gear 10 to rotate. The rotation of the collecting gear 10 synchronously drives the collecting plate 11 to rotate. By rotating the collecting plate 11, the cow dung is pushed onto the partition plate. The collecting gear 10 meshes with the conveyor belt drive gear 20. The rotation of the collecting gear 10 drives the conveyor belt drive gear 20 to rotate. The conveyor belt drive gear 20 carries the partition plate conveyor belt 13 upward. The cow dung placed on the partition plate is transferred upward to the buffer plate 14 along with the partition plate conveyor belt 13.

[0060] The buffer plate 14 is used to receive the cow dung handed over by the partition. The second motor 18 is started, and the second motor 18 drives the crank-slider mechanism 19 to move. The crank-slider mechanism 19 converts the circular motion into linear reciprocating motion. The crank-slider mechanism 19 pulls back the pressure plate 22. The pressure plate 22 and the buffer plate 14 are hinged. The buffer plate 14 gradually stands upright, so that the cow dung on the buffer plate slides into the squeezing groove between the pressure plate 22 and the filter plate 21. The crank-slider mechanism 19 pushes the pressure plate 22 outward. The pressure plate 22 approaches the filter plate 21 and squeezes the cow dung in the middle. At this time, the liquid flows down from the holes of the filter plate 21 into the liquid storage tank 6 for collection.

[0061] When cylinder 23 is activated and its extension rod extends, the scraper 24 is positioned close to the baffle 25. When the extension rod of cylinder 23 is shortened, the scraper 24 scrapes the solid in the extrusion groove along the groove and pushes it onto the guide plate 7. The solid then rolls from the guide plate 7 into the solid storage box 8 and is collected by gravity.

[0062] The liquid in the cow dung flows into the liquid storage tank 6 for collection, while the solid in the cow dung rolls into the solid storage tank 8, thus completing the solid-liquid separation.

[0063] The tracked walking device 1 can collect all the cow dung by walking through the cow pen once, thus saving the need for manual collection.
