Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically a device for monitoring the ambient temperature of pigsties in pig farming. Background Technology

[0002] In pig farming, the ambient temperature inside the pigsty is a key factor affecting the health and production performance of pigs. A suitable temperature ensures that pigs can eat, rest, and grow normally, while excessively high or low temperatures can trigger heat or cold stress, leading to decreased immunity, slow growth, and even disease. Therefore, continuous and accurate monitoring of the ambient temperature inside the pigsty is an indispensable part of modern scientific pig farming management.

[0003] Currently, most common pigsty temperature monitoring devices involve fixing temperature sensors to the walls or pillars of the pigsty. This fixed installation results in a single monitoring point and limited coverage, reflecting only the local temperature near the sensor's installation point and failing to represent the true temperature distribution throughout the entire pigsty, especially in the areas where pigs are active. Due to factors such as ventilation, sunlight, and uneven pig density, temperatures vary significantly across different areas of the pigsty. Measurements from fixed single points are incomplete and cannot comprehensively and accurately reflect the overall temperature environment of the pigsty, thus affecting the accuracy and timeliness of environmental control. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a temperature monitoring device for pigsties in pig farming, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pigsty environmental temperature monitoring device, including a circulating mechanism, a height adjustment mechanism is provided below the circulating mechanism, a temperature and humidity detector is provided below the height adjustment mechanism, and four connecting mechanisms are provided on the surface of the circulating mechanism.

[0006] The circulating mechanism includes an O-shaped frame, with two mounting plates fixed to the upper and lower surfaces of the O-shaped frame. Mounting shafts are rotatably connected to the surfaces of the upper and lower mounting plates, and transmission wheels are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting shafts.

A slider is slidably connected to the surface of the O-shaped guide rail, and the surface of the slider is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the belt.

[0007] Preferably, the height adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment plate, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider, a housing is slidably connected to the surface of the adjustment plate, and positioning holes are provided on both the housing and the surface of the adjustment plate. The number of positioning holes on the surface of the adjustment plate is multiple, and an assembly plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing. The bottom of the assembly plate is fixedly connected to the top of the temperature and humidity detector.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a lower assembly plate, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the O-shaped frame. A hinge is fixed to the upper side of the surface of the lower assembly plate, and an upper assembly plate is fixed to the hinge surface. Multiple assembly holes are provided on the surfaces of both the lower and upper assembly plates, and an angle adjustment structure is installed on the surface of the lower assembly plate.

[0012] Preferably, an anti-collision frame is fixed to the bottom of the assembly plate, and the temperature and humidity detector is located inside the anti-collision frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0014] This invention utilizes a circulating mechanism to move the temperature and humidity detector within the pigsty, enabling large-scale, continuous, and dynamic monitoring of the pigsty's ambient temperature.

[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 A temperature monitoring device for pigsty environment in pig farming includes a circulating mechanism 1, a height adjustment mechanism 2 is provided below the circulating mechanism 1, a temperature and humidity detector 3 is provided below the height adjustment mechanism 2, and four connecting mechanisms 4 are provided on the surface of the circulating mechanism 1.

[0023] The circulating mechanism 1 includes an O-shaped frame 101. Two mounting plates 102 are fixed on the upper and lower surfaces of the O-shaped frame 101. Mounting shafts 7 are rotatably connected to the surfaces of the upper and lower mounting plates 102. A transmission wheel 103 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting shaft 7. A belt 104 is tensioned on the surfaces of the left and right transmission wheels 103. A bracket 5 is fixed to the top of one mounting plate 102. A geared motor 6 is fixed to the top of the bracket 5. The output shaft of the geared motor 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting shaft 7 on one side. O-shaped guide rails 105 are fixed to the bottom of the lower mounting plate 102 and the O-shaped frame 101. A slider 106 is slidably connected to the surface of the O-shaped guide rail 105. The surface of the slider 106 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the belt 104.

[0024] Through the above technical solution, the cyclic moving mechanism 1 drives the mounting shaft 7 on one side to rotate via the reduction motor 6, which in turn drives the transmission wheel 103 to rotate, thereby causing the belt 104 to continuously circulate on the transmission wheel 103. The slider 106 is fixed to the outer surface of the belt 104 and slides along the O-shaped guide rail 105, realizing the smooth movement of the temperature and humidity detector 3. The entire mechanism is provided with stable support by the O-shaped frame 101 and the mounting plate 102, ensuring that the belt 104 will not derail or jam during operation, so that the monitoring device can cover the annular area inside the pigsty. This design realizes the cyclic movement of the temperature and humidity detector 3 inside the pigsty, thereby enabling dynamic temperature monitoring of a large-scale environment and avoiding the limitations of fixed-point measurement.

[0025] The height adjustment mechanism 2 includes an adjustment plate 201. The top of the adjustment plate 201 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 106. A housing 202 is slidably connected to the surface of the adjustment plate 201. Positioning holes 203 are provided on the surfaces of both the housing 202 and the adjustment plate 201. There are multiple positioning holes 203 on the surface of the adjustment plate 201. An assembly plate 204 is fixedly attached to the bottom of the housing 202. The bottom of the assembly plate 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the temperature and humidity detector 3.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, the height adjustment mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 106 via the adjustment plate 201, and the housing 202 is slidably fitted onto the surface of the adjustment plate 201 and fixed through the positioning hole 203; the user can adjust the height of the housing 202 by selecting different positions of the positioning hole 203 on the adjustment plate 201, thereby changing the monitoring height of the assembly plate 204 and the temperature and humidity detector 3; the positioning hole 203 is fixed by inserting pins or bolts after alignment to prevent accidental slippage.

[0027] The connecting mechanism 4 includes a lower assembly plate 401, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the O-shaped frame 101. A hinge 402 is fixed on the upper side of the surface of the lower assembly plate 401, and an upper assembly plate 403 is fixed on the surface of the hinge 402. Multiple assembly holes are provided on the surfaces of both the lower assembly plate 401 and the upper assembly plate 403. An angle adjustment structure is installed on the surface of the lower assembly plate 401.

[0028] Through the above technical solution, the connecting mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the O-shaped frame 101 through the lower combination plate 401, and the upper combination plate 403 is hinged to the lower combination plate 401 through the hinge 402, so that the upper combination plate 403 can rotate around the hinge 402 to adjust the angle; the angle adjustment structure can push or pull the upper combination plate 403 to rotate around the hinge 402 to achieve fine adjustment of the installation angle; thus adapting to pig house roofs of different angles, and the assembly holes are used to fix it to the pig house roof structure.

[0029] The surface angle adjustment structure of the lower assembly plate 401 includes a first movable block 404, which is hinged to the surface of the lower assembly plate 401. A seated bearing 405 is fixed to the surface of the first movable block 404. A sleeve 406 is fixed to the inner ring of the seated bearing 405. A screw 407 is threaded to the inner wall of the sleeve 406. A second movable block 408 is fixed to the top of the screw 407. The top of the second movable block 408 is hinged to the bottom of the upper assembly plate 403.

[0030] Through the above technical solution, the user rotates the sleeve 406. Since the sleeve 406 and the screw 407 are connected by threads, the screw 407 will extend or retract relative to the sleeve 406, thereby changing the length between the first movable block 404 and the second movable block 408. The second movable block 408 is hinged to the bottom of the upper combined plate 403. Therefore, the change in length will push the upper combined plate 403 to rotate around the hinge 402, realizing continuous adjustment of the installation angle. This allows the connecting mechanism 4 to be finely adjusted to adapt to various pigsty roof conditions. At the same time, the threaded transmission method has strong self-locking properties, and it is not easy to loosen after adjustment, maintaining the long-term fixation of the angle.

[0031] Multiple connecting plates 107 are fixed inside the O-frame 101. An L-shaped support baffle 108 is fixed at the bottom of the connecting plate 107. The top surface of the L-shaped support baffle 108 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the belt 104.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, when the belt 104 moves under the drive of the transmission wheel 103, the L-shaped support baffle 108 provides continuous support to prevent the belt 104 from sagging or shaking due to its own weight or the load of the temperature and humidity detector 3; it ensures that the belt 104 runs smoothly, while dispersing the load force and enhancing the stability of the overall structure.

[0033] The O-shaped frame 101, mounting plate 102, connecting plate 107, and L-shaped support baffle 108 are all made of aluminum alloy.

[0034] Through the above technical solutions, the aluminum alloy material reduces the overall weight of the circulating mechanism 1, thereby reducing the load on the pigsty roof structure and making installation more convenient. At the same time, the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy enables it to resist corrosive factors such as humidity and ammonia in the pigsty, ensuring long-term performance.

[0035] An anti-collision frame 205 is fixed to the bottom of the assembly plate 204, and the temperature and humidity detector 3 is located inside the anti-collision frame 205.

[0036] Through the above technical solution, the anti-collision frame 205 is fixed to the bottom of the assembly plate 204 and surrounds the outside of the temperature and humidity detector 3. When the operator adjusts the temperature and humidity detector 3 by adjusting the height adjustment mechanism 2, the anti-collision frame 205 may come into contact with obstacles. The frame structure disperses the impact force and avoids direct damage to the temperature and humidity detector 3. At the same time, the anti-collision frame 205 is designed to be open, allowing air circulation and not affecting the sensor function of the temperature and humidity detector 3.

[0037] Working Principle: This device drives the temperature and humidity detector 3 to continuously circulate and move within the pigsty space via a circulating moving mechanism 1. After starting the reduction motor 6, power is transmitted to the transmission wheel 103 via the mounting shaft 7, causing the belt 104 to run stably along an O-shaped track. The slider 106, fixed on the belt 104, slides smoothly under the precise guidance of the O-shaped guide rail 105, forming a reliable moving monitoring platform. The height adjustment mechanism 2, through the sliding engagement of the adjusting plate 201 and the housing 202, combined with the flexible selection of multiple positioning holes 203, allows the temperature and humidity detector 3 to be adjusted to the required monitoring height according to the characteristics of the pigsty and the needs of the pigs' growth stages. The connecting mechanism 4 connects the upper and lower combined plates via a hinge 402, and, in conjunction with an angle adjustment structure composed of a sleeve 406 and a screw 407, achieves precise fine-tuning of the installation angle, ensuring the stable suspension and smooth operation of the entire monitoring system on the pigsty roof. During operation, the L-shaped support baffle 108 continuously provides bottom support for the belt 104, effectively preventing sagging caused by long-term use, while the anti-collision frame 205 provides all-around collision protection during the movement of the temperature and humidity detector 3. The entire device is made of lightweight, high-strength aluminum alloy, ensuring structural stability and excellent corrosion resistance. Through this mechanical, cyclical mobile monitoring method, the device can cover a large area of ​​the pigsty, acquiring real-time temperature data at different locations and heights. This effectively solves the technical problem of limited coverage of traditional fixed monitoring devices, providing a more scientific and accurate environmental monitoring method for pig farming.
