Description

Energy-saving positive pressure quarantine livestock farm

[0001] The present invention relates to an energy-saving positive pressure quarantine livestock house, and more specifically, to an energy-saving positive pressure quarantine livestock house that has a multi-layered breeding room structure to remove various odors and impurities generated during breeding, and to save energy by recycling purified sterile air and heat energy, and to block external contamination with the positive pressure breeding room.

[0002] Recently, in the livestock industry such as chicken, duck, and pig, most of them are using natural environments or windowless chicken houses or windowless pig houses, but when natural convection or negative pressure is maintained and outside air is introduced, quarantine is not possible, so AI influenza, avian influenza, African swine fever, etc. occur, so much research is needed on mass culling methods.

[0003] For example, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0901756 discloses a method for removing odors by spraying diluted sodium hypochlorite in a pigsty, wherein the air entering one side of the pigsty is preheated in a preheating room and then supplied to the pigsty, comprising a first odor removal step of exhausting odor gas generated in the pigsty to a collection room between an inner wall and an outer wall by a blower fan and spraying diluted sodium hypochlorite supplied from a sodium hypochlorite generator to adsorb and remove the odors, a second odor removal step of exhausting odors not absorbed in the first odor removal step to an odor removal room partitioned by a barrier on the outer wall of the collection room and spraying diluted sodium hypochlorite from a spray nozzle of a pipeline connected from the sodium hypochlorite generator, and a filter between a dripping collection tank and a cover body of a filtering device configured in the barrier of the odor removal room, and a third odor removal step of spraying diluted sodium hypochlorite from a spray nozzle of a pipeline connected from the sodium hypochlorite generator. A method for removing odors from pig farms has been registered and disclosed, which removes odors from pig farms through a third odor removal step of adsorbing the odors of odorous gases passing through a filter by dripping diluted sodium hypochlorite.

[0004] However, the above technology rather has the problem of increased sewage treatment costs and frequent filter replacement.

[0052]

[0053] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0054] Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an energy-saving positive pressure quarantine livestock house of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a detailed view of a constant temperature and humidity room of an energy-saving positive pressure quarantine livestock house of the present invention, and Fig. 3 is a detailed view of a breeding room of an energy-saving positive pressure quarantine livestock house of the present invention.

[0055]

[0056] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the energy-saving positive pressure quarantine livestock house of the present invention is configured to include a constant temperature and humidity room (100), a breeding room (200), and a purification room (300).

[0057]

[0058] The above temperature and humidity control room (100) has a structure that can supply sterile air to the breeding space (220) of the breeding room (200) in a positive pressure manner by bringing in outside air and passing it through an air conditioner (110).

[0059]

[0060] It is preferable that this temperature and humidity control room (100) be installed in the ceiling duct space of the livestock house.

[0061]

[0062] Meanwhile, the above-described constant temperature and humidity room (100) is composed of an external device (120) formed to allow external air to be introduced in a positive pressure manner, an external air pre-filter (121) configured to filter the air introduced into the external device (120), an air conditioner (110) configured to suck in the air filtered by the external air pre-filter (121), an external air pipe (111) installed in communication with the air conditioner (110), a fan (130) installed in communication with the external air pipe (111), and a HEPA box (140) installed in communication with the fan (130) to supply sterile air to the breeding room (200).

[0063] The above HEPA box (140) is structured so that air flowing in through the outside air pipe (111) is blown by a fan (130), filtered by HEPA filters (not shown), and supplied to the breeding space (220) of the breeding room (200).

[0064]

[0065] At this time, it is preferable that an external valve (112) be additionally installed in the external pipe (111).

[0066]

[0067] In addition, it is preferable to install one or more sterilizing lamps (150) between the external device (120) and the air conditioner (110) to sterilize the incoming air.

[0068]

[0069] That is, when looking at the air flow in the constant temperature and humidity room here, the outside air is drawn into the external device (120), filtered by the outside air pre-filter (121), and forcedly blown through the air conditioner (110) and the outside air pipe (111) by the fan (130) and supplied to the breeding space (220) of the breeding room (200) through the HEPA box (140).

[0070]

[0071] At this time, the structure is such that the air in the breeding space (220) passes through the breeding room exhaust vents (221), is deodorized in the deodorization space (230), and then passes through the uneven dehumidification space (160) and is supplied again to the outside air pipe (111) so as to save energy.

[0072]

[0073] Meanwhile, the above-mentioned dehumidifying space (160) is formed between the deodorizing space (230) and the external air pipe (111) and is structured to delay the movement of air so that the air moves in a zigzag manner, enabling sufficient deodorization and dehumidification for the delayed time.

[0074]

[0075] In addition, it is preferable that the above temperature and humidity control room (100) be installed so as to be electrically connected to a solar power system (170) installed on the roof of the livestock house, thereby further saving energy.
