Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cattle shed manure cleaning equipment, specifically to a high-efficiency cattle shed manure cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] A cattle shed is a place specifically designed to provide living, resting, and feeding facilities for cattle. It is an important component of livestock facilities, especially in the cattle industry. The design and construction of cattle sheds need to consider a variety of factors to ensure the health and productivity of the herd. The treatment of cattle manure is a crucial aspect of the cattle industry, as it not only relates to the hygiene of the cattle shed and the health of the herd, but also involves environmental protection and resource utilization.
[0003] Currently, most cattle farms still rely on manual methods, using scrapers or shovels to remove manure from the barns. After cleaning, the barns need to be rinsed with water. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also ineffective. Furthermore, with the increasing scale of cattle farming, manual cleaning is labor-intensive, inefficient, and costly, making it unsuitable for the needs of large-scale cattle farming. Secondly, while some automatic manure cleaning devices have emerged, most suffer from inconvenience and incomplete cleaning, failing to adequately meet the requirements. Therefore, developing a user-friendly, highly automated, and effective efficient manure cleaning device for cattle barns is objectively necessary. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient, highly automated, and effective cattle shed manure cleaning device.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: it includes a cattle shed and a cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes a flat plate and a vertical plate with one end of the flat plate. An end plate is provided at one end of the flat plate. A cleaning space is formed between the flat plate, the vertical plate, and the end plate. An arc plate is provided in the middle of the cleaning space. An auger is coaxially provided on one side of the arc plate. A rake and a high-pressure nozzle are arranged sequentially on the other side of the arc plate. The lower ends of the flat plate and the arc plate are in contact with the ground of the cattle shed. Sliding rods and screws are provided on both sides of the cattle shed. The two ends of the sliding rods are fixed to the two side walls of the cattle shed, respectively. One end of the screw is rotatably connected to the side wall of the cattle shed, and the other end is connected to a motor installed on the side wall of the cattle shed. A slider is provided through the sliding rod and the screw. A cylinder is installed on the slider. The piston rod of the cylinder passes through the slider and is connected to the flat plate. A drainage ditch is provided on the side of the cattle shed opposite to the end plate.
[0006] Furthermore, the upper end of the arc plate is hinged to the flat plate, and an electric push rod is inclinedly installed between the flat plate and the arc plate.
[0007] Furthermore, a horizontal bar is provided on the vertical plate, a telescopic rod is provided on the horizontal bar, a spring is provided on the telescopic rod, and a rake is installed at the lower end of the telescopic rod.
[0008] Furthermore, there are no fewer than two rakes, with the teeth of adjacent rakes arranged in an alternating pattern.
[0009] Furthermore, a roller brush is installed in the cleaning space below the high-pressure nozzle.
[0010] Furthermore, the vertical plates are arranged at an angle, with the end furthest from the end plate being the large opening end, which faces the direction of the sewage ditch.
[0011] Furthermore, cleaning nozzles are installed on the side walls of the cattle shed, with the water sprayed from the nozzles pointing towards the auger.
[0012] Furthermore, the drainage ditch is hinged with an automatically opening and closing cover.
[0013] Furthermore, a squeegee strip is provided at the lower end of the vertical panel.
[0014] This utility model is installed inside a cattle shed for cleaning manure. When manure cleaning is needed, the cattle are first driven outside the shed to facilitate the cleaning work. After the cleaning mechanism has finished cleaning the manure, it is in the standby position, and the opposite side is the starting position. During operation, the cylinder is first activated, which moves the entire cleaning mechanism upward a certain distance, so that its lower end is off the cattle shed floor. Then, the motor is activated, which moves the cleaning mechanism to the starting position for manure cleaning. The auger is then activated, and the cylinder slowly moves the entire cleaning mechanism downward until the lower ends of the arc plate, rake, and vertical plate touch the cattle shed floor. The motor is activated again, which drives the screw to rotate. As the screw rotates, it moves the slider along the slide bar, thereby moving the entire cleaning mechanism towards the standby position. During the movement, manure is cleaned in two stages. In the first stage, the manure is scraped up by the lower end of the arc plate and accumulates on the concave side of the arc plate. Then, it is transported to the drainage ditch by the auger. This stage completes the cleaning and removal of most of the manure. In the second stage, a rake is used to clean up the stubborn manure adhering to the cowshed floor. Then, high-pressure water is sprayed from the high-pressure nozzle to wash away the manure scraped up by the rake and clean the cowshed floor. Finally, the lower end of the vertical plate scrapes the cowshed floor again to prevent the cleaning water from accumulating in the cowshed. The cleaning water, along with the cleaned manure, eventually flows into the drainage ditch. When the cleaning mechanism reaches the standby position, it completes one cleaning of cowshed manure. If necessary, the above steps can be repeated until the cleaning requirements are met. In operation, the entire process of cleaning cattle shed manure is automatically carried out by the cleaning mechanism, achieving a high degree of automation. It can complete the cleaning of manure and the washing of the cattle shed floor in a short time, resulting in high cleaning efficiency and significantly reducing labor costs for manure cleaning. This effectively meets the needs of expanding cattle farming operations and adapts to the demands of large-scale cattle farming. Secondly, the manure cleaning process is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the manure is scraped up by the lower end of an arc plate and then conveyed away by an auger, facilitating fine processing in the second stage. In the second stage, stubborn manure and dirt are cleaned using a rake, and the cattle shed floor is cleaned using high-pressure nozzles. These two stages achieve highly efficient manure cleaning, thoroughly removing manure and cleaning the floor, resulting in a good cleaning effect and meeting the needs of manure cleaning. In summary, this invention has the advantages of being easy to use, highly automated, having good cleaning effect, and high work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this description is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any changes or improvements made based on the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0017] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model includes a cattle shed 1 and a cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes a flat plate 2 and a vertical plate 3 set at one end of the flat plate 2. An end plate 4 is set at one end of the flat plate 2. A cleaning space is formed between the flat plate 2, the vertical plate 3, and the end plate 4. An arc plate 5 is set in the middle of the cleaning space. An auger 6 is coaxially set on one side of the arc plate 5. The auger 6 is existing technology and is equipped with a rotating shaft and spiral blades set on the rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft can be mounted on the end plate 4 through a bearing seat and is connected to the drive mechanism. The other end can be mounted on the arc plate 6 through a bearing seat and a connecting rod to ensure the stability of the auger 6 during operation. When manure enters the concave side of the arc plate 6, it can push the manure out. A rake 7 and a high-pressure nozzle 8 are arranged in sequence on the other side of the arc plate 6. The high-pressure nozzle 8 is used for... High-pressure water is sprayed to wash the floor of the cowshed 1. The lower ends of the flat plate 2 and the arc plate 6 are in contact with the floor of the cowshed 1. The two sides of the cowshed 1 are supported by sliding rods 9 and screws 10. The two ends of the sliding rods 9 are fixed to the two side walls of the cowshed 1 respectively. One end of the screw 10 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the cowshed 1, and the other end is connected to the motor 11 installed on the side wall of the cowshed 1. The motor 11 drives the screw 10 to rotate. The screw 10 is connected to the slider 12 by a thread. When the screw 10 rotates, it can push the slider 12 to slide laterally on the sliding rod 9. The slider 12 is installed through the sliding rod 9 and the screw 10. The slider 12 is equipped with a cylinder 13. The piston rod of the cylinder 13 passes through the slider 12 and is connected to the flat plate 2. A sewage ditch 14 is provided on the side of the cowshed 1 opposite to the end plate 4.
[0018] This utility model is installed inside a cowshed 1 for cleaning manure. When manure cleaning is needed, the cattle are first driven outside the cowshed 1 to facilitate the cleaning work. The position of the cleaning mechanism after completing the manure cleaning is the standby position, and the opposite side is the starting position. During operation, the cylinder 13 is first started, which moves the entire cleaning mechanism upward a certain distance, so that its lower end leaves the ground of the cowshed 1. Then, the motor 11 is started, which moves the cleaning mechanism to the starting position for manure cleaning. The auger 6 is started, and then the cylinder 13 slowly moves the entire cleaning mechanism downward until the lower ends of the arc plate 5, rake 7, and vertical plate 3 touch the ground of the cowshed 1. The motor 11 is started again, which drives the screw 10 to rotate. When the screw 10 rotates, it drives the slider 12 to move along the slide rod 9, thereby moving the entire cleaning mechanism towards the standby position. The cleaning mechanism moves in a certain direction, cleaning up the manure during the process. The manure cleaning is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the lower end of the arc plate 5 is used to scrape up the manure, which accumulates on the concave side of the arc plate 5. Then, the auger 6 transports it to the drainage ditch 14. This stage completes the cleaning and removal of most of the manure. In the second stage, the rake 7 is used to clean up the stubborn manure adhering to the ground of the cowshed 1. Then, the high-pressure nozzle 8 sprays high-pressure water to wash away the manure scraped up by the rake 7 and clean the ground of the cowshed 1. Finally, the lower end of the vertical plate 3 scrapes the ground of the cowshed 1 again to prevent the cleaning water from accumulating in the cowshed 1. The cleaning water, along with the cleaned-up manure, eventually flows into the drainage ditch 14. When the cleaning mechanism reaches the standby position, it completes one cleaning of the manure in the cowshed 1. If necessary, the above steps can be repeated until the cleaning requirements are met.
[0019] In operation, the entire cleaning process of manure in the cowshed 1 is carried out automatically by the cleaning mechanism, with a high degree of automation. It can complete the cleaning of manure and the washing of the cowshed 1 floor in a short time, with high cleaning efficiency and significantly reduced labor costs for manure cleaning. It can better meet the needs of the current expansion of cattle farming scale and adapt to the needs of large-scale cattle farming. Secondly, the cleaning process of cow manure in this invention is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the cow manure is scraped up by the lower end of the arc plate 5 and then transported away by the auger 6, which facilitates further fine cleaning in the second stage. In the second stage, the stubborn manure and dirt are cleaned by the rake 7, and the floor of the cowshed 1 is cleaned by the high-pressure nozzle 8. The two stages achieve efficient cleaning of cow manure, which can thoroughly clean the manure in the cowshed 1 and clean the floor, with good cleaning effect and can meet the needs of manure cleaning.
[0020] The upper end of the arc plate 5 is hinged to the flat plate 2. An electric push rod 15 is inclinedly installed between the flat plate 2 and the arc plate 5. Due to wear or installation errors, a certain gap may be generated between the lower end of the arc plate 5 and the ground of the cowshed 1, causing manure to leak out from these gaps and affecting the cleaning effect of the device. The electric push rod 15 is installed between the gaps. After the gaps are generated, the electric push rod 15 can be activated to drive the arc plate 5 to rotate, so that the lower end of the arc plate 5 is pressed against the ground of the cowshed 1, ensuring the cleaning effect of the device.
[0021] A horizontal bar 16 is installed on the vertical plate 3, and a telescopic bar 17 is installed on the horizontal bar 16. A spring is installed on the telescopic bar 17. The rake 7 is installed at the lower end of the telescopic bar 17. During use, due to wear or installation errors, a certain gap may occur between the rake teeth of the rake 7 and the ground of the cowshed 1, which will affect the cleaning effect of stubborn manure. In order to solve this problem, the telescopic bar 17 and the spring are installed. The spring force is used to press the rake 7 against the ground of the cowshed, so that the rake teeth of the rake 7 are always in contact with the ground of the cowshed 1, thereby compensating for the problems caused by wear and installation errors and improving the cleaning effect of the rake 7.
[0022] There are at least two rakes 7, and the teeth of two adjacent rakes 7 are arranged in an alternating manner. Since there are certain gaps between the teeth of the rakes 7, some stubborn feces cannot be cleaned. Therefore, multiple rakes 7 are set up, and the teeth of each rake 7 are arranged in an alternating manner to compensate for the gaps and improve the cleaning effect of stubborn feces.
[0023] A roller brush 18 is installed in the cleaning space below the high-pressure nozzle 8. The roller brush 18 is an existing cleaning brush. After the rake 7 has finished cleaning the stubborn manure, the roller brush 18 is used to clean the ground of the cowshed 1 again, which can further clean the ground of the cowshed 1 and improve the cleaning effect.
[0024] The vertical plate 3 is arranged at an angle, with the end furthest from the end plate 4 being the large opening end, which faces the sewage ditch 14. The angled arrangement of the vertical plate 3 facilitates the drainage of sewage from the cleaning space.
[0025] The side wall of the cowshed 1 is equipped with cleaning nozzles 19. The water spray direction of the cleaning nozzles 19 is towards the auger 6. After the cleaning mechanism finishes cleaning the manure, a lot of manure will stick to the auger 6 and the arc plate 5. If it is not cleaned in time, it will ferment and produce odor and attract mosquitoes, which is not conducive to the hygiene of the cowshed 1. Therefore, the cleaning nozzles 19 are installed. After the manure is cleaned, the cleaning nozzles 19 are turned on and the auger 6 is turned on at the same time to rinse the auger 6 and the arc plate 5. Then the wastewater after cleaning is discharged into the sewage ditch 14 through the auger 6 to ensure that the auger 6 and the arc plate 5 are clean.
[0026] The drainage ditch 14 is hinged with an automatically opening and closing ditch cover 20. The automatic opening and closing mechanism of the ditch cover 20 is existing technology. An opening motor can be set at one end of the hinge shaft and driven by the motor. Other types of structures can also be selected as long as the ditch cover 20 can open and close automatically. The drainage ditch 14 is used to collect and discharge the manure cleaned from the cattle shed 1. It will inevitably emit an unpleasant smell, which will affect the health of the cattle in the cattle shed 1. Therefore, the ditch cover 20 is set. When cleaning the manure, the ditch cover 20 is opened to facilitate the discharge of manure and sewage into the drainage ditch 14. After the cleaning work is completed, the ditch cover 20 is closed.
[0027] A scraper strip 21 is installed at the lower end of the vertical plate 3. The lower end of the vertical plate 3 is used to scrape off the water sprayed by the high-pressure nozzle 8 and the stubborn manure cleaned by the rake 7. In actual use, it was found that because the lower end of the plate 2 is in hard contact with the ground of the cowshed 1, there is a certain gap. Moreover, as the usage time increases, the plate 2 will also deform to a certain extent, which will cause the gap to become larger and larger. Sewage will remain on the ground of the cowshed 1 through the gap, affecting the manure cleaning effect of the device. In order to solve this problem, the scraper strip 21 is installed. The scraper strip 21 has a certain degree of flexibility and can fit tightly with the ground of the cowshed 1, thereby preventing sewage leakage and ensuring the cleaning effect of the device.
