Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding vehicle technology, specifically to the cleaning brush of the feeding vehicle, and more particularly to a flexible cleaning device that fits the material trough and the feeding vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern livestock and poultry farming, the traditional methods of manual feeding, manure cleaning, and disinfection are gradually shifting towards intelligent farming. To facilitate feed delivery, feed troughs are usually designed to be interconnected. However, after each feeding, a small amount of feed or secondary feed remains in the troughs, requiring cleaning equipment to clean them.

[0003] Existing trough cleaning equipment generally uses a rigidly connected fixed cleaning head. This fixed cleaning head typically consists of a motor-driven rotating brush disc, a metal bracket, and a limiting baffle. This type of brush disc can only extend and retract in a single horizontal direction, and cannot adapt to the curved surface changes of the trough sidewalls. These defects severely restrict the operational reliability of unmanned sweepers in complex trough environments.

[0004] The core problem with current trough cleaning equipment lies in the contradiction between insufficient freedom of movement and excessive structural rigidity. Traditional brush heads only have a single degree of extension and retraction, resulting in excessive residue on the side walls when cleaning the trough; frequent mechanical interference between the rigid support and the bristles severely reduces work efficiency. Traditional brush heads lack an adaptive compensation mechanism in the vertical direction, causing the bristle ground pressure to change drastically with ground undulations, making it difficult to guarantee cleaning uniformity. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to solve the problem that the brush bristles are difficult to adhere to the ground and the cleaning effect is poor in the prior art, this utility model provides a flexible cleaning device and feeding vehicle that adheres to the material trough. Through the synergistic effect of the vertical compensation mechanism and the horizontal compensation mechanism, the stability and continuity of the cleaning brush in each free movement is maintained, the cleaning effect is guaranteed, and it is avoided from getting stuck in the material trough.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a flexible cleaning device that fits the material trough, comprising: a liftable vertical compensation link, one end of which is rotatably connected to the feeding vehicle, and the other end connected to the vertical compensation link and driving the cleaning component to be lifted; the cleaning component, which includes an outer sleeve connected to the cleaning component, a drag column rotatably connected inside the outer sleeve, a swinging hinge rotatably connected below the drag column, the swinging hinge being connected to a flexible base, and a cleaning brush driven by a motor being provided on the flexible base.

[0007] This utility model relates to a flexible cleaning device for conforming to a material trough. By employing a combination of waving hinges, dragging, and rotating shafts, it achieves three-dimensional adaptive edge conforming, ensuring the freedom of movement of the cleaning brush and fully adapting to working surfaces of different shapes and curvatures. This not only greatly improves the cleaning coverage rate but also effectively avoids cleaning blind spots caused by lateral deviations or height mismatches.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to achieve matching within the vertical height of the certification, a flexible limiting shell is provided above the flexible base, and the flexible limiting shell covers the outside of the outer sleeve.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to achieve mechanical constraint of the lateral deflection angle, a U-shaped limiting fork is movably inserted above the drag column, and the U-shaped limiting fork contacts the inner wall of the flexible limiting shell to limit the deflection angle.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to achieve passive vertical compensation in the working state, the vertical compensation linkage includes four parallel and symmetrically arranged linkages. One end of the linkage is rotatably connected to the support of the sweeper, and the other end is fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the side wall of the outer sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, the waving hinge is installed on the left side of the flexible base, and the vertical compensation linkage drives the sweeping brush to rise and fall through the outer sleeve.

[0012] Furthermore, the motor and the cleaning brush are located on the right side of the outer tube.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to protect the cleaning brush from collisions, the lower end of the flexible base also has a flexible baffle located on the outside of the cleaning brush.

[0014] Furthermore, to further improve the overall cleaning effect, a vacuum tube is also connected to the flexible base.

[0015] Furthermore, in order for the swing hinge to drive the flexible base to deflect, the swing hinge includes a lug and a base plate. The lug is connected to the drag column via a pivot, and the base plate is fixedly connected to the flexible base.

[0016] Another technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a feeding vehicle, including the above-mentioned flexible cleaning device that fits the material trough.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The flexible cleaning device and feeding vehicle of this utility model that fits the material trough achieves three-dimensional adaptive edge fitting through the combination of swinging hinge, drag column and vertical compensation link, which fully adapts to the working surface with different shapes and curvatures, and greatly improves the cleaning coverage.

[0018] 2. The flexible cleaning device and feeding vehicle of this utility model fit the material trough. Through the flexible limiting shell and U-shaped limiting fork, the lateral deviation angle is mechanically constrained, so as to ensure the load-bearing capacity and absorb the collision energy at the same time.

[0019] 3. The flexible sweeping device and feeding vehicle of this utility model that fits the material trough utilizes a combination of U-shaped limiting forks, towing columns, outer sleeves, and swinging winches. This allows the system to not only achieve precise motion constraints through mechanical structures, but also effectively alleviate pressure changes caused by ground undulations or uneven working surfaces through the synergistic effect of vertical and horizontal compensating links, thereby maintaining the stability and continuity of the sweeping head in each degree of freedom of motion.

Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a flexible cleaning device that conforms to a material trough includes: a liftable vertical compensation link 1 and a cleaning assembly 2.

[0026] Specifically, one end of the vertical compensation link 1 is rotatably connected to the feeding vehicle, and the other end is connected to the sweeping assembly 2, driving the sweeping assembly 2 to lift. The vertical compensation link 1 can be driven by an external swing motor (not shown in the attached diagram), which enables active height compensation of the vertical compensation link 1. At the same time, the vertical compensation link 1 can also achieve passive height compensation under the action of gravity.

[0027] Specifically, the cleaning assembly 2 includes an outer tube 21 connected to the vertical compensation link 1. A drag column 22 is rotatably connected inside the outer tube 21, and the outer tube 21 and drag column 22 are connected by a bearing 23. A swinging hinge 24 is rotatably connected below the drag column 22 and is connected to a flexible base 25. A cleaning brush 27 driven by a motor 26 is mounted on the flexible base 25. The vertical compensation link 1 can drive the outer tube 21 to move vertically, providing a vertical degree of freedom. Because the drag column 22 and the outer tube 21 are connected by a pivot, the swinging hinge 24, driven by the drag column 22, can achieve a dual-degree-of-freedom composite motion of the cleaning brush 27.

[0028] Preferably, the vertical compensation linkage 1 includes four parallel and symmetrically arranged linkages 11. One end of each linkage 11 is rotatably connected to the support of the sweeper, and the other end is fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the side wall of the outer sleeve 21. The vertical compensation linkage 1 drives the outer sleeve 21 to rise and fall, thereby realizing the rising and falling of the sweeping brush 27.

[0029] Preferably, a flexible limiting shell 28 is provided above the flexible base 25, and the flexible limiting shell 28 covers the outside of the outer sleeve 21. A U-shaped limiting fork 29 is movably inserted above the drag column 22, and the U-shaped limiting fork 29 contacts the inner wall of the flexible limiting shell 28 to limit the deflection angle. A gradient stiffness structure (rigid frame + flexible shell) is adopted to reduce the risk of mechanical interference, and the mechanical constraint offset angle is achieved by the U-shaped limiting fork 29.

[0030] Specifically, the waving hinge 24 includes a lifting lug and a base plate. The lifting lug is connected to the drag column 22 via a pivot, and the base plate is fixedly connected to the flexible base 25. The waving hinge 24 and the drag column 22 move up and down synchronously. At the same time, since the waving hinge 24 can rotate relative to the drag column 22, the flexible base 25 can rotate in the horizontal direction and rise and fall in the vertical direction.

[0031] Preferably, the motor 26 and the sweeping brush 27 are located on the right side of the outer sleeve 21. The lower end of the flexible base 25 also has a flexible baffle 31 located outside the sweeping brush 27. By being spaced apart from the sweeping brush 27, the flexible baffle 31 can absorb a large amount of impact through elastic deformation when it comes into contact with the ground or the sweeping trough, thus playing a certain protective and buffering role.

[0032] In this embodiment, the number of cleaning brushes 27 can be two.

[0033] Preferably, a suction pipe 30 is also connected to the flexible base 25. The suction pipe 30 can work in conjunction with the vacuum cleaner structure through the cleaning brush 27 to quickly suck up dust and impurities generated during the operation, thereby significantly improving the overall cleaning efficiency and system stability.

[0034] The specific working principle of this utility model's flexible cleaning device for conforming to the material trough is as follows: When the material trough needs to be cleaned, the external swing motor drives the vertical compensation link 1 to lift, and the vertical compensation link 1 drives the cleaning component 2 to lift synchronously and enter the material trough. Then, the external swing motor is turned off, and the cleaning component 2 falls into the material trough under the action of gravity. During the cleaning process, the motor 26 drives the cleaning brush 27 to rotate for cleaning. Since the drag column 22 has a degree of freedom in the vertical direction and the swing hinge 24 has a degree of freedom in the horizontal direction, it can be passively adjusted according to the working surface with different shapes and curvatures, so that the cleaning head can be flexibly adjusted in three-dimensional space during the movement. During adjustment, due to the action of the flexible limiting shell 28 and the U-shaped limiting fork 29. When it is necessary to remove the cleaning component 2, the external swing motor drives the vertical compensation link 1 to lift, overcoming the friction force and moving the cleaning component 2 out of the material trough.

[0035] A feeding vehicle includes the aforementioned flexible cleaning device that conforms to the material trough.

[0036] In summary, the flexible cleaning device and vehicle of this utility model that fits the material trough maintain the stability and continuity of the cleaning brush in all directions of free movement through the synergistic effect of the vertical compensation mechanism and the horizontal compensation mechanism, ensuring the cleaning effect and preventing it from getting stuck in the material trough.

[0037] The above description is based on the preferred embodiments of this utility model. Through the above description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined by the scope of the claims.
