Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock farm manure cleaning technology, and more specifically, it relates to a livestock farm manure cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the daily sanitation management of livestock farms, manure cleaning and floor washing are crucial for maintaining the farming environment. The accumulation of manure and the degree of ground contamination vary significantly across different farming areas. Newly cleaned areas only require a small amount of water for rinsing to achieve cleanliness standards, while areas with long-term manure accumulation require a larger volume of water to thoroughly remove the dirt. Furthermore, the required water pressure and volume vary depending on the floor material, such as cement, slatted flooring, or non-slip tiles. Cement surfaces are rough and require a larger water flow to effectively clean the dirt from the crevices, while non-slip tiles, with their smoother surface, only require a moderate flow. Existing manure cleaning devices generally suffer from insufficient water flow regulation in their flushing system design; most devices rely solely on a simple pump switch. The current system, which controls the water supply by starting and stopping, cannot precisely adjust the flow rate and velocity of the rinsing water according to actual cleaning needs. This extensive water resource management method leads to frequent instances of unreasonable water use during cleaning operations. Excessive water flow not only causes serious waste of water resources and increases breeding costs, but also splashes feces onto surrounding walls and facilities, expanding the pollution range. Conversely, insufficient water flow cannot effectively wash away dirt adhering to the ground, resulting in poor cleaning effects and requiring repeated rinsing. Operators can only indirectly control the cleaning effect by changing the rinsing distance and movement speed. This experience-based operation method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to ensure consistent cleaning standards in different areas. The existing equipment lacks flexible and convenient water flow adjustment methods and cannot meet the actual needs of modern farms for refined management. Utility Model Content
