Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of animal husbandry, specifically to a manure scraping device for sheep pens in animal husbandry. Background Technology

[0002] In modern sheep farming, keeping sheep pens clean is crucial for ensuring flock health and improving farming efficiency. Sheep manure contains a large number of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, microorganisms, and parasites. If not cleaned promptly, it will accumulate in the pen, increasing the risk of disease infection and causing dampness on the pen floor, leading to hoof diseases. Therefore, a manure scraping device for livestock sheep pens is needed. Existing manure scraping devices generally use servo motors to drive scrapers to move and collect sheep manure balls on the pen floor for later cleaning. However, the above-mentioned common manure scraping devices for livestock sheep pens still have shortcomings: If the sheep droppings in the sheep pen are intact, using a scraper to clean them may destroy the intact droppings. Scraping them away will leave a lot of sheep droppings on the ground, which will make cleaning the ground more difficult later. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a manure scraping device for sheep pens in livestock farming, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the sheep manure balls in the sheep pen are intact. If a scraper is used to clean them, it is very likely to destroy the intact sheep manure balls. After scraping them away, a lot of sheep manure will remain on the ground, which is not conducive to the subsequent ground cleaning work.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a manure scraping device for sheep pens in livestock farming, comprising a sheep pen body, a movable track provided at one end of the top of the sheep pen body, a support assembly slidably connected inside the movable track, a drive assembly fixedly installed inside the support assembly, a rotating bushing fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the support assembly, a gear assembly rotatably connected inside the rotating bushing, a scraper assembly fixedly connected to the bottom of the support assembly, and a sheep manure pushing mechanism rotatably connected inside the scraper assembly.

[0005] Preferably, the support assembly includes a slider base, which is slidably connected inside the moving track. A side support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the slider base, and two support rollers are provided on one side of the side support plate. The support rollers are rotatably connected to the sheep pen body, which helps to improve the stability of the manure scraping device.

[0006] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a servo motor, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a transmission gear, and a drive gear rod is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission gear, which is beneficial for driving the movement of the manure scraping mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, a transmission rack is fixedly connected to one side of the connection between the moving track and the sheep pen body, and one side of the transmission gear meshes with one side of the transmission rack.

[0008] Preferably, the gear assembly includes a sweeping gear rod, which is disposed inside the rotating bushing. A first pulley is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the sweeping gear rod, and one side of the sweeping gear rod meshes with one side of the drive gear rod, which is beneficial to drive the roller brush to rotate through gear transmission.

[0009] Preferably, the scraper assembly includes a top baffle, which is fixedly connected to a side support plate. A bottom scraper is fixedly connected to one side of the top baffle. A transmission groove is provided on one side of the top of the top baffle. Two connecting rods are fixedly connected between the side support plate and the top baffle, which is beneficial for scraping down and collecting sheep manure on the ground.

[0010] Preferably, the sheep manure pushing mechanism includes a pushing roller, one end of which is fixedly connected to a second pulley, and the surface of the pushing roller is provided with sweeping brush strips. A transmission belt is connected between the first pulley and the second pulley, which is beneficial for the complete sheep manure ball to be crushed by the scraper and attached to the ground.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the manure scraping mechanism is set on one side of the sheep pen, which can scrape and clean the entire sheep pen floor. The scraper is moved by the transmission gear on the servo motor and the transmission rack. In front of the scraper, there is a roller pushing mechanism with bristles. The hard bristles can push the relatively intact sheep manure balls to one side and gather them, preventing them from being crushed by the scraper, stuck, or unable to be pushed by the brush. The scraper scrapes them off and gathers them. Through the combination of the two, the amount of sheep manure left on the ground during the manure scraping work can be reduced, and the subsequent ground cleaning can be reduced. The scraper is equipped with support rollers that are mounted on the sheep pen wall, which improves the stability of the scraper. The servo motor drives the rollers to rotate, saving energy.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a manure scraping device for sheep pens in livestock farming, including a sheep pen body 1. A movable track 2 is provided at one end of the top of the sheep pen body 1. A support assembly is slidably connected inside the movable track 2. A drive assembly is fixedly installed inside the support assembly. A rotating bushing 17 is fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the support assembly. A gear assembly is rotatably connected inside the rotating bushing 17. A scraper assembly is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support assembly. A sheep manure pushing mechanism is rotatably connected inside the scraper assembly.

[0016] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5Furthermore, the support assembly includes a slider base 4, which is slidably connected inside the moving track 2. A side support plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider base 4, and two support rollers 8 are provided on one side of the side support plate 7. The support rollers 8 are rotatably connected to the sheep pen body 1. The drive assembly includes a servo motor 5, and a transmission gear 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 5. A drive gear rod 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission gear 6. A transmission rack 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the connection between the moving track 2 and the sheep pen body 1. One side of the transmission gear 6 meshes with one side of the transmission rack 3. The gear assembly includes a sweeping gear rod 18, which is disposed inside the rotating bushing 17. A first pulley 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the sweeping gear rod 18. One side of the sweeping gear rod 18 is meshed with one side of the drive gear rod 16. The scraper assembly includes a top baffle 9, which is fixedly connected to the side support plate 7. A bottom scraper 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the top baffle 9. A transmission groove 15 is provided on one side of the top of the top baffle 9. Two connecting rods 11 are fixedly connected between the side support plate 7 and the top baffle 9. The sheep manure pushing mechanism includes a pushing roller 12. A second pulley 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the surface of the pushing roller 12. A sweeping brush strip 13 is provided on the surface of the pushing roller 12. A transmission belt 20 is connected between the first pulley 14 and the second pulley 19. In use, the servo motor 5 is started, driving the transmission gear 6 to rotate. The transmission gear 6 is meshed with the transmission rack 3. At this time, the servo motor 5 and the slider base 4 move together along the moving track 2. The side support plate 7 is equipped with support rollers 8, which contact the wall of the sheep pen body 1. The support rollers 8 can play a good supporting role, supporting the cleaning equipment installed on the side support plate 7, which can greatly reduce the force on the servo motor 5. The rotation of the transmission gear 6 drives the drive gear rod 16 to rotate. The rotation of the drive gear rod 16, under the action of the first pulley 14 and the transmission belt 20, drives the second pulley 19 to rotate, driving the push roller 12 to rotate. The push roller 12 is installed on the bottom scraper 1. In front of the 0, the surface of the pushing roller 12 is equipped with a number of sweeping brush strips 13. The material of the sweeping brush strips 13 is similar to that of the plastic brush strips on a broom, but it is harder than that of the brush strips on a broom. The sweeping brush strips 13 are also denser. While the bottom scraper 10 moves, it pushes the roller 12 to rotate, sweeping the complete sheep manure balls in advance in the direction of the bottom scraper 10. The rotation speed of the pushing roller 12 is relatively low, so it only sweeps the sheep manure balls forward, but does not lift them up. The sheep manure balls that can be swept are pushed forward by the pushing roller 12 and the sweeping brush strips 13. Those that cannot be swept are scraped off by the bottom scraper 10 and carried forward, scraping down and collecting the sheep manure in the sheep pen for later unified cleaning.

[0017] In this embodiment, after the scraping device is installed, it is moved to one end of the sheep pen. Its small size does not occupy much space in the sheep pen body 1. A control box is installed on the outer wall of the sheep pen body 1, containing a control module and related operating switches. Before cleaning, all lambs are driven out of the sheep pen. Then, the servo motor 5 is started by the switch. The gear ratio between the drive gear rod 16 and the sweeping gear rod 18 is 1:5. The drive gear rod 16 rotates one revolution, and the sweeping gear rod 18 rotates five revolutions. The direction of rotation of the roller 12 can sweep the sheep manure balls towards the direction of the bottom scraper 10. The bottom scraper 10 can scrape off and carry away the sheep manure that the sweeping brush 13 cannot clean. The scraping device moves from one end of the sheep pen body 1 to the other end, collecting the sheep manure at the other end for easy cleaning. The rotation speed of the drive roller 12 will not throw out sheep manure, maintaining a stable rotation speed. The sheep manure balls are swept away, and the connecting rod 11 can enhance the stability of the bottom scraper 10 and the top baffle 9. The transmission groove 15 facilitates the transmission belt 20 to pass through the top baffle 9 and connect to the second pulley 19. When the sheep pen floor is washed with a water gun later, the sweeping brush 13 and the inner wall or surface of the top baffle 9 and the bottom scraper 10 can also be washed, which is convenient for subsequent use.
