[0002] In the process of animal husbandry, the spread of pathogens is one of the main causes of animal disease outbreaks. Although the use of traditional antibiotics can effectively control pathogens, long-term use can lead to antibiotic resistance and have a negative impact on the environment and animal health. Bacteriophages, as a "natural enemy" of bacteria, can specifically infect and lyse pathogens without causing harm to animals and the environment.

[0003] Currently, in the control system for pathogens in livestock farming environments, the spraying range of traditional disinfection granules is fixed, resulting in a small disinfection coverage area, which leads to insufficient contact with pathogens and low control efficiency.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the phage-based livestock breeding environment pathogen control system includes: a phage storage tank 1, a control panel 9, an atomizing mechanism 5, a spraying section 6, and a fixing mechanism 4. The phage storage tank 1 has an inlet 2 at its top and an outlet 3 at its bottom. The phage storage tank 1 is made of sterile material and is used to hold phage solution. The control panel 9 is installed at the top of the phage storage tank 1. The atomizing mechanism 5 is connected to the outlet 3 and is used to atomize and spray phage. The spraying section 6 is connected to the atomizing mechanism 5. The fixing mechanism 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the phage storage tank 1 and is used to support the atomizing mechanism 5 and install the spraying section 6.

[0028] The atomizing mechanism 5 transforms the phage solution into tiny atomized particles, preventing excessively large particles from settling too quickly and excessively small particles from being expelled by ventilation. This also ensures that the phages make full contact with airborne pathogens, improving disinfection efficiency. Simultaneously, a moving mechanism is used, driven by a servo motor 85 to reciprocate along the guide rail 83. The moving speed can be adjusted as needed to adapt to different breeding density scenarios, achieving wider spraying coverage in the breeding shed and reducing the risk of pathogen transmission. The fixing mechanism 4 firmly secures the spray pipe 61 with a clamp 45 and fastening bolts 46, while the limiting component 7 supports the discharge pipe 53 to prevent pipe displacement and ensure stable spraying range and uniformity of the nozzle 64. The phage storage tank 1 is made of sterile materials to prevent phage contamination during storage. All components are connected by shielded wires to reduce signal interference, resulting in strong overall structural stability and extending the equipment's service life.

[0029] Using bacteriophages as a pathogen-disinfecting medium can reduce the pollution of the breeding environment and livestock products by chemical residues compared with traditional chemical disinfectants, reduce the potential impact of disinfectants on livestock health, and conform to the development direction of green and ecological modern animal husbandry, thus helping to improve the quality and safety of livestock products.

[0030] The control panel 9 integrates a PLC controller, relays, a display screen, and operation buttons, enabling functions such as starting and stopping the atomizing pump 51, adjusting the speed of the servo motor 85, and setting the working time. The display screen shows the current environmental parameters (such as temperature, humidity, and pathogen concentration). The control panel 9 is connected to each electrical component via shielded cables. The control panel 9 is also connected to an environmental monitoring module, which monitors parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pathogen concentration in the breeding environment in real time and transmits the data to the control system.

[0031] The fixing mechanism 4 includes a fixing column 41, a mounting platform 42, a connecting plate 43, a clamping shell 45, and fastening bolts 46. The fixing column 41 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the phage storage tank 1. The mounting platform 42 is installed at the bottom of the fixing column 41. The connecting plate 43 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the mounting platform 42. The connecting column 44 is installed on the front side of the bottom of the connecting plate 43. The clamping shell 45 is fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting column 44.

[0032] The atomizing mechanism 5 includes an atomizing pump 51, an inlet pipe 52, and an outlet pipe. The atomizing pump 51 is installed on the top side surface of the mounting platform 42. The input end of the atomizing pump 51 is connected to the bottom outlet 3 of the phage storage tank 1 through the inlet pipe 52. The output end of the atomizing pump 51 is fixedly connected to the outlet pipe 53.

[0033] The spraying unit 6 includes a spray pipe 61, a connecting flange 62, a blind flange 63, and a nozzle 64. One end of the spray pipe 61 is connected to the blind flange 63, and the other end of the spray pipe 61 is connected to the end of the discharge pipe 53 through the connecting flange 62. The nozzle 64 is installed on the bottom side of the spray pipe 61.

[0034] There are two clamping shells 45. The inner cavity of the clamping shell 45 is fitted with a spray pipe 61. The top side of the clamping shell 45 is threaded with a fastening bolt 46. The end of the fastening bolt 46 is attached to the top side of the spray pipe 61.

[0035] There are several nozzles 64, and adjacent nozzles 64 are equidistantly distributed on the bottom side of the spray pipe 61.

[0036] A limiting component 7 is installed on the front side of the spray pipe 61. The limiting component 7 includes a limiting post 71 and a limiting clamp 7245. The limiting post 71 is fixedly connected to the front side of the spray pipe 61, and the limiting clamp 7245 is fixedly connected to the front end of the limiting post 71.

[0037] During use, the atomizing pump 51 starts working, drawing the phage solution from the tank into the atomizing chamber of the atomizing pump 51 through the intake pipe 52. The ultrasonic transducer inside the atomizing pump 51 generates high-frequency vibration, breaking the drawn-in phage solution into tiny atomized particles. This facilitates full contact with pathogens in the air and prevents particles that are too large from settling quickly or too small from being discharged from the breeding house by the ventilation system. During the atomization process, the temperature control module of the atomizing pump 51 maintains the temperature of the atomizing chamber at 25-30℃ (to avoid high temperature damaging the activity of the phage). The atomized phage particles are then transported to the spray pipe 61 through the discharge pipe 53 under the action of the air pressure inside the atomizing pump 51. Because one end of the spray pipe 61 is sealed (blind plate 63), the phage particles can only be sprayed from the nozzle 64 on the bottom side. At the same time, the clamp 45 of the fixing mechanism 4 and the fastening bolt 46 firmly fix the spray pipe 61, and the limiting component 7 supports the discharge pipe 53, effectively preventing the vibration of the atomizing pump 51 during operation from causing the spray pipe 61 and the discharge pipe 53 to shift, ensuring that the atomized particles sprayed from the nozzle 64 always maintain a stable coverage range and uniformity.

[0038] There are several limiting posts 71, which are equidistantly distributed on the front side of the spray pipe 61, and the discharge pipe 53 is engaged and connected inside the limiting shell.

[0039] A moving mechanism is installed at the top of the phage storage tank 1. This moving mechanism is mounted on the inner wall of the top of the livestock shed. The moving mechanism includes a mounting base 81, a drive base 82, a guide rail 83, a mounting frame 84, a servo motor 85, a threaded column 86, and a guide rod 87. Mounting bases 81 are symmetrically mounted at the top of the phage storage tank 1. Drive bases 82 are mounted at the bottom of each mounting base 81. The drive bases 82 are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the guide rail 83. A mounting frame 84 is fixedly mounted on the top side of the guide rail 83. A servo motor 85 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the drive base 82. The servo motor 85 outputs power... The output end is connected to a threaded column 86, and another drive seat 82 has a guide rod 87 slidingly passing through its inner cavity. After receiving the movement command from the control panel 9, the servo motor 85 drives the threaded column 86 to rotate at a constant speed. The threaded column 86 drives the drive seat 82 to move linearly, thereby driving the entire system, including the storage tank, atomizing mechanism 5, and spraying part 6, to move smoothly along the guide rail 83. The forward and reverse rotation function of the servo motor 85 can realize the reciprocating movement of the system between the two ends of the breeding house. The movement speed can be adjusted in real time through the control panel 9 to adapt to the disinfection needs of different breeding densities.

[0040] There are two guide rails 83. One guide rail 83 has a threaded post 86 installed inside, and the other guide rail 83 has a guide rod 87 fixedly connected to its inner wall.

[0041] The circuits, electronic components, and modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this application does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0042] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Any changes in its shape or structure fall within the protection scope of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
