Abstract

The present invention relates to a roof structure of animal box, said roof structure consisting of at least one casing (1) housing a pair of spring roller shutters (2) of the same width, wherein said spring roller shutters (2) are arranged in said casing (1) such that their axes of rotation are parallel to each another. The spring roller shutters (2) are fastened in the casing (1) such as in their rolled state the casing (1) structure protects thereof. The casing (1) is provided on its upper side with mounts (3), by means of which it is suspended on a common suspension (6) such as it would be possible to fasten free ends of the spring roller shutters (2) to the structure of the animal box (4). The casing (1) is provided on its lower edges with brushes (5) that ensure systematic cleaning of the spring roller shutters (2). The structure of animal box (4) to be provided with a roof thus functions such that a casing (1) with the pair of spring roller shutters (2) is suspended on the roofed animal box (4). Free ends of said spring roller shutters (2) are attached to the animal box (4) thus forming above the animal box (4) the roof. By lifting and lowering the casing (1) in vertical plane it is possible to regulate the size of a ventilation gap between the spring roller shutters (2) and the peripheral structure of the animal box (4) and thus to respond to microclimatic conditions in compliance with need of the housed animals. During unrolling and rolling the spring roller shutters (2), optional impurities and dust are removed from the spring roller shutters (2) by means of brushes (5) attached to the lower edges of the casing (1). Joint suspension of several casings (1) by means of mounts (3) onto a common suspension (6) makes it possible to control simultaneously a series of the roof structures.

Description

Roof construction of animal box

Technical field

The invention relates to a roof structure for an animal box.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

For healthy rearing of livestock it is necessary to observe their requirements for microclimatic environmental parameters. When rearing in outdoor individual boxes, animals are protected from external climatic influences by the construction of the box, which also includes a roof, such as the utility model CZ UV 20343. For economic and organizational reasons are increasingly used for this rearing covered air stables, in which are placed in one or more rows of individual boxes that provide basic requirements for rearing - dry bed, visual contact with other individuals and elimination of mutual physical contact, as is the case according to the CZ 302 681 solution. own microclimate in times of unfavorable outdoor weather conditions.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The above-mentioned drawbacks are overcome by the roof structure of the animal box according to the invention, which consists of at least one housing in which two mutually independent spring blinds are fixed side by side so that their axes of rotation are parallel and coiled are protected by the construction of this case with vertical movement against the direct effects of falling rain or snowfall, the case is provided at the ends with clips for hanging the case with spring blinds over the roofed animal box so that the free ends box for animals.

The roof structure according to the invention is further characterized in that the mounts of the at least one housing are hinged to a common hinge for the joint suspension of multiple housings in a row to jointly control the height of the housings above the peripheral structures of the animal boxes.

The roof structure according to the invention is also characterized in that the lower edges of the housing are provided with brushes for continuous contact with the spring roller blind.

The roof structure according to the invention is further characterized in that the spring blinds are made of a waterproof material that is easy to disinfect.

The roof structure according to the invention is also characterized in that the housing material or its surface treatment is weather resistant.

The roof structure according to the invention comprises at least one housing which is designed so that two mutually independent equally wide spring blinds can be mounted side by side so that their axes of rotation are parallel and in the rolled state are protected by the housing structure against direct effects falling rain or snowfall. The sleeve is provided at its ends by means of which the sleeve and spring blinds are suspended above the roofed animal box so that the free ends of the blinds can be unfolded and attached to the peripheral structure of the roofed animal box and the whole sleeve can be moved vertically and thereby unfold or roll on the perimeter structure of the roofed animal box mounted spring blinds. Alternatively, the housing mounts are hinged to a common hinge,

• 3 which allows the combined suspension of several cases in one row and thus joint control of the height adjustment of the cases above the peripheral structures of the animal boxes. The edges of the housing are provided with brushes that systematically clean the spring blinds during unrolling and rolling. The spring roller blinds are made of a waterproof material which, in the unfolded state, makes it easy to disinfect their surface by conventional disinfectants, the housing material or its surface resistant to weathering.

The roof structure according to the invention reflects the current state of constructional solutions of stable buildings. The newly built stables are designed as light non-insulated buildings with a roof in which the ridge slot is open along its entire length. Undesirable climatic elements (sunlight, rain, snow) can penetrate the stable building through this slot. Another possible source of these undesirable elements is the side walls formed solely of mesh. At present there are stables with openable roofs, which allow direct sunlight and other climatic elements to enter the animals. The proposed solution allows individual protection of individual stabling places independently of the construction of the stable building (roof, side walls).

The roof structure of the present invention provides maximum comfort to animals in all weather conditions and is easy to operate and simple. The equipment has been successfully verified on pastures and stables in the Research Institute of Animal Production, vv.i., Prague, CZ. This new roof construction of the animal box according to the invention allows individual enclosure of animal boxes which are housed in roofed housing objects and thus better meet the animal's thermal comfort requirements in all macro-climatic periods of the year.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a schematic front elevational view of the animal enclosure, and Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the animal enclosure.

The following exemplary embodiment illustrates the roof construction of the animal box of the invention without limiting it in any way.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Example 1

A pair of equally wide spring blinds 2 is mounted in the housing 1 so that their axes of rotation are parallel. The spring blinds 2 are fastened in the housing 1 so as to be protected in the rolled-up state by the housing structure 1. The housing 1 is provided with grips 3 on its upper side, by means of which the housing 1 is hinged to a common hinge 6 so that 2 on the construction of the animal box 4. The housing 1 is provided at the lower edges with brushes 5 which ensure a continuous cleaning of the spring blinds 2, which favorably extends the life of the entire device.

The roof structure according to the invention thus functions by hanging the housing 1 with the spring roller shutters 2 on the roofed animal box 4. The free ends of the roller shutters are attached to the animal box 4 and thereby form a roof over the animal box 4. By pulling and lowering the housing I in the vertical plane, the size of the ventilation slot between the spring roller shutters 2 and the peripheral structure of the animal box 4 can be controlled and thus respond to the microclimatic conditions according to the needs of the animal. When unfolding and rolling the spring roller shutters 2, any contaminants and dust are removed from the surface of the spring roller shutters 2 by brushes 5 attached to the lower edges of the housing L

-2GB 303828 B6

The joint suspension of the sleeves 1 by means of the fasteners 3 on the common hinge 6 allows simultaneous operation of a number of roof constructions according to the invention.

Industrial applicability

The new roof design of the animal box allows individual enclosure of animal boxes, which are housed in roofed stable buildings and thus better meet the animal's thermal comfort requirements in all macro-climatic seasons of the year.
