Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of livestock breeding facilities, specifically a surface protrusion structure for a non-slip floor for pigs. Background Technology

[0002] In pigsty environments, the anti-slip performance of the flooring is a crucial factor in ensuring the health and safety of pigs. Currently, some flooring options on the market enhance anti-slip properties through surface protrusions or textured designs; however, these designs often have limitations in practical applications. For example, some flooring protrusions are too uniform in height to accommodate pigs of varying weights and hoof types, potentially leading to excessive localized pressure and hoof injuries. Furthermore, existing anti-slip flooring is prone to reduced anti-slip performance due to dirt accumulation over long-term use, and cleaning and maintenance are relatively inconvenient.

[0003] For example, some existing pig flooring designs employ a regularly arranged cylindrical or pyramidal protrusion structure, which achieves its anti-slip function by increasing friction. However, this type of structure may not have a uniform mechanical distribution, and its anti-slip performance may significantly decrease, especially in humid environments. Furthermore, an improperly designed gap between the protrusions can lead to dirt accumulation, further affecting the flooring's performance and lifespan.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this by proposing a surface protrusion structure for a non-slip floor for pigs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of decreased anti-slip performance and poor use effect of existing anti-slip flooring for pigs in practical applications due to the simple design of the raised structure, uneven mechanical distribution, and inconvenience of cleaning and maintenance.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objectives and address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a surface protrusion structure for an anti-slip floor for pigs, comprising a floor body and an anti-slip unit disposed on the surface of the floor body. The anti-slip unit includes multiple height-adjustable support columns and flexible protrusion components connected to the top of the support columns. The bottom of the support columns is connected to the floor body via a fixed seat. The flexible protrusion component includes several arc-shaped protrusions, with guide grooves provided between the arc-shaped protrusions. The bottom of the guide grooves has a drain hole penetrating the floor body. The support columns have an adjustment mechanism inside for adjusting the height of the support columns according to the weight of the pigs.

[0007] The arc-shaped protrusions in the flexible protrusion assembly are arranged in an alternating manner, with a spacing of 10mm to 20mm between two adjacent arc-shaped protrusions. The top of the arc-shaped protrusions is provided with a micro-textured layer, which consists of several hemispherical particles with a diameter of 0.5mm to 1mm. The surface of the hemispherical particles is roughened to increase friction.

[0008] The support column includes an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve. The bottom of the outer sleeve is fixed to the fixing seat by a threaded connection. The top of the inner sleeve is welded to the bottom surface of the flexible protrusion component. The outer wall of the inner sleeve is provided with several positioning holes arranged axially. The side wall of the outer sleeve is provided with locking bolts corresponding to the positioning holes. The height of the inner sleeve can be adjusted by inserting the locking bolts into different positioning holes.

[0009] The adjustment mechanism includes a spring located inside the inner sleeve and a pressure plate located on top of the spring. The top of the pressure plate contacts the bottom surface of the flexible protrusion assembly, and the bottom of the spring contacts the inner bottom surface of the outer sleeve. The elastic coefficient of the spring is selected according to the average weight range of the pigs, so that the support column can maintain appropriate elastic deformation under different pressures.

[0010] The bottom of the guide channel is provided with several evenly distributed discharge holes, the diameter of which is 5mm to 8mm. A sludge collection pipe is connected below the discharge holes, and a detachable filter screen is provided at the end of the sludge collection pipe.

[0011] The floor body is provided with an installation frame around its perimeter. The top of the installation frame has several installation holes with a diameter of 8mm to 12mm. The bottom of the installation frame is provided with a reinforcing rib with a thickness of 3mm to 5mm. The two ends of the reinforcing rib are welded to the bottom of the floor body.

[0012] The fixing base includes a base plate and an annular boss on the top of the base plate. The inner wall of the annular boss is interference-fitted with the outer wall of the outer sleeve. Fixing screw holes are provided at the four corners of the base plate. The diameter of the fixing screw holes is 6mm to 8mm. Anti-slip pads are provided at the bottom of the base plate. The thickness of the anti-slip pads is 2mm to 3mm.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] In this application, the height-adjustable support columns and flexible raised components enable the anti-slip flooring to adapt to pigs of different weights and hoof types. The spring and pressure plate structure inside the support columns generates moderate elastic deformation when pigs step on them, thus dispersing pressure and preventing hoof injuries caused by excessive local pressure. The staggered arrangement of arc-shaped protrusions in the flexible raised components, further enhanced by a micro-textured layer, ensures good anti-slip performance even in wet environments. The design of the guide channels and drainage holes effectively solves the problem of waste accumulation; waste flows through the guide channels into the drainage holes and eventually into the waste collection pipe, facilitating cleaning and maintenance. Furthermore, the mounting frame and reinforcing ribs around the flooring enhance the overall strength and stability of the flooring, while the anti-slip pads on the mounting base further improve the installation reliability. Through the synergistic effect of the above structures, this invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing anti-slip floors for pigs in terms of mechanical distribution, anti-slip performance, and cleaning and maintenance, demonstrating significant practicality and innovation.

[0021] This utility model relates to a surface protrusion structure for an anti-slip flooring for pigs, and its specific embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1As shown, the overall structure of this utility model includes a floor body 1 and multiple anti-slip units 2 distributed on the surface of the floor body 1. Each anti-slip unit 2 consists of a support column 3 and a flexible protrusion assembly 4. The bottom of the support column 3 is connected to the floor body 1 via a fixing seat 14, and the flexible protrusion assembly 4 is located at the top of the support column 3 and welded to it. The flexible protrusion assembly 4 includes several arc-shaped protrusions 5, with guide grooves 6 between the arc-shaped protrusions 5. A drain hole 7 penetrating the floor body 1 is opened at the bottom of the guide grooves 6. An adjustment mechanism is provided inside the support column 3 to adjust its height, thereby accommodating pigs of different weights.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, in the specific structure of the anti-slip unit 2, the arc-shaped protrusions 5 are arranged in an alternating pattern, with a spacing of 10mm to 20mm between adjacent arc-shaped protrusions 5. A micro-textured layer is provided on the top of each arc-shaped protrusion 5. This micro-textured layer consists of hemispherical particles with a diameter of 0.5mm to 1mm, which are roughened to increase friction. The height of each arc-shaped protrusion 5 is 8mm to 12mm, and its width is 6mm to 10mm. Its cross-section is arc-shaped, with an arc angle ranging from 30° to 60°. The depth of the guide channel 6 is 5mm to 8mm, and its width is 8mm to 12mm. Drainage holes 7 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the guide channel 6. The diameter of each drainage hole 7 is 5mm to 8mm, and the drainage holes 7 penetrate the floor body 1 and are connected to the sewage collection pipe 15. A removable filter screen is provided at the end of the sewage collection pipe 15, with a pore size of 3mm to 5mm.

[0023] The specific structure of support column 3 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the support column 3 consists of an outer sleeve 8 and an inner sleeve 9. The bottom of the outer sleeve 8 is fixed to the fixing seat 14 by a threaded connection, and the top of the inner sleeve 9 is welded to the bottom surface of the flexible protrusion component 4. The outer wall of the inner sleeve 9 has several positioning holes along the axial direction, and the side wall of the outer sleeve 8 has locking bolts corresponding to the positioning holes. The height of the inner sleeve 9 can be adjusted by inserting the locking bolts into different positioning holes. A spring 10 and a pressure plate 11 are provided inside the inner cavity of the inner sleeve 9. The bottom of the spring 10 contacts the inner bottom surface of the outer sleeve 8, and the top contacts the pressure plate 11. The top of the pressure plate 11 contacts the bottom surface of the flexible protrusion component 4. The elastic coefficient of the spring 10 is selected according to the average weight range of the pigs, typically from 5 N / mm to 10 N / mm. When the pig steps on the flexible protrusion component 4, the pressure is transmitted to the spring 10 through the pressure plate 11. The spring 10 undergoes elastic deformation and absorbs part of the pressure, thereby dispersing the pressure acting on the pig's hoof.

[0024] The floor body 1 is provided with mounting frames 12 around its perimeter, such as... Figure 4As shown, the top of the mounting frame 12 has several mounting holes with a diameter of 8mm to 12mm and a center-to-center spacing of 100mm to 150mm. The bottom of the mounting frame 12 has reinforcing ribs 13 with a thickness of 3mm to 5mm and a width of 10mm to 15mm. The two ends of the reinforcing ribs 13 are welded to the bottom of the floor body 1. The reinforcing ribs 13 are arranged parallel or perpendicular to the long side of the floor body 1, and their spacing is 200mm to 300mm. The mounting frame 12 has a thickness of 5mm to 8mm and a width of 20mm to 30mm. The four corners of the mounting frame 12 have chamfers with a radius of 5mm to 10mm.

[0025] The structure of the fixed base 14 is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 14 includes a base plate and an annular boss on the top of the base plate. The inner wall of the annular boss is interference-fitted with the outer wall of the outer sleeve 8. The base plate has four corner holes with a diameter of 6mm to 8mm and a center-to-center distance of 50mm to 80mm. The bottom of the base plate has an anti-slip pad with a thickness of 2mm to 3mm. The anti-slip pad is made of rubber or silicone and has several raised dots on its surface. The raised dots have a diameter of 2mm to 3mm and a spacing of 5mm to 10mm.

[0026] In practical applications, the anti-slip flooring for pigs of this invention is fixed to the ground by the mounting holes of the mounting frame 12. The fixing seat 14 is further fixed to the ground by the fixing screw holes to ensure the stability of the flooring. When pigs walk on the floor, the arc-shaped protrusions 5 of the flexible protrusion component 4 contact the pig's hooves. The micro-textured layer of the arc-shaped protrusions 5 provides additional friction to prevent the pigs from slipping. When the pigs step on the flexible protrusion component 4, the pressure is transmitted to the spring 10 through the pressure plate 11. The spring 10 undergoes elastic deformation and absorbs part of the pressure, thereby dispersing the pressure acting on the pig's hooves. The height of the flexible protrusion component 4 can be adjusted by the adjustment mechanism of the support column 3. The specific operation method is to loosen the locking bolt, move the inner sleeve 9 up or down to the appropriate position, and then tighten the locking bolt again. During cleaning and maintenance, dirt flows into the drain hole 7 through the guide channel 6 and finally enters the dirt collection pipe 15 and is collected through the filter screen. The cleaning work can be completed by periodically disassembling the filter screen and cleaning the dirt.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this utility model, the specific implementation principles of this utility model are further explained below in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

[0028] During actual installation, the mounting frame 12 around the floor body 1 is first fixed to the ground with bolts. The diameter of the mounting holes is 8mm to 12mm, and the center-to-center spacing is 100mm to 150mm to ensure a stable connection between the floor body 1 and the ground. The base plate of the fixing seat 14 has fixing screw holes at its four corners. Bolts are used to pass through these screw holes to further fix the fixing seat 14 to the ground, thereby enhancing the stability of the support column 3. The anti-slip pads on the bottom of the base plate provide additional friction through their raised points, preventing the floor from shifting due to pig activity and ensuring the reliability of the overall structure.

[0029] When pigs step on the floor, the curved protrusions 5 of the flexible raised component 4 come into contact with their hooves. Because the height of the curved protrusions 5 is 8mm to 12mm, and the top has a micro-textured layer composed of hemispherical particles with a diameter of 0.5mm to 1mm, these particles, after being roughened, significantly increase friction, thus effectively preventing pigs from slipping even in wet environments. The curved protrusions 5 are arranged in a staggered pattern, with a spacing of 10mm to 20mm between adjacent curved protrusions 5. This design not only improves anti-slip performance but also reduces the possibility of dirt accumulation.

[0030] Meanwhile, the adjustment mechanism inside the support column 3 begins to function. The inner sleeve 9, through the locking bolt and the positioning hole of the outer sleeve 8, can be adjusted in height according to the weight of the pig. For example, under the action of a heavier pig, the spring 10 undergoes elastic deformation under pressure, with an elastic coefficient typically ranging from 5 N / mm to 10 N / mm, causing the pressure plate 11 to move upward and transmit the pressure to the flexible protrusion assembly 4. This elastic deformation can absorb some of the pressure, thereby dispersing the localized pressure acting on the pig's hoof and preventing hoof damage caused by concentrated pressure. If it is necessary to adjust the height of the support column 3, the locking bolt can be loosened, the inner sleeve 9 moved axially to the appropriate position, and then the locking bolt can be tightened again to accommodate pigs of different weight ranges.

[0031] In terms of cleaning and maintenance, the design of the guide channel 6 and the drain hole 7 plays a crucial role; dirt flows from the guide channel 6 into the drain hole 7, which has a diameter of 5mm to 8mm, penetrates the floor body 1, and connects to the dirt collection pipe 15. The filter screen at the end of the dirt collection pipe 15 has a mesh size of 3mm to 5mm, which can intercept larger particles of dirt. Regularly removing the filter screen to clean the dirt completes the cleaning work, thereby maintaining the anti-slip performance and service life of the floor.

[0032] Furthermore, the mounting frame 12 and reinforcing ribs 13 around the floor body 1 further enhance the overall strength and stability of the floor. The mounting frame 12 is 5mm to 8mm thick and 20mm to 30mm wide, with chamfered corners of 5mm to 10mm radius to facilitate installation and reduce stress concentration. The reinforcing ribs 13 are 3mm to 5mm thick and 10mm to 15mm wide, arranged parallel or perpendicular to the long side of the floor body 1 at intervals of 200mm to 300mm, effectively resisting external loads and preventing floor deformation.

[0033] By combining the above steps and principles, this invention achieves adaptive adjustments for pigs of different weights and hoof types, while solving the problems of uneven mechanical distribution, reduced anti-slip performance, and inconvenient cleaning and maintenance in existing technologies. This solution not only improves the practicality and durability of anti-slip flooring for pigs but also provides a safer and healthier environment for pig farming.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
