Abstract

In the honeycomb floor covering (1) according to the invention, the individual honeycomb spaces (3) are at least partially closed at the bottom by a honeycomb floor (4). As a result, hardly any sand (103) through the honeycomb space (3) passes under the honeycomb floor covering (1) and in particular under the webs (3), and these can not be pushed up. In contrast to the previous only bar grids honeycomb floor covering (1) according to the invention therefore can only be designed on the raw floor (101) of the stable (100) or must be fixed at most at very few points.

Description

field of use

The invention relates to the design of the bed in a stable for livestock, especially cattle. In the simplest case, the honeycomb floor of a cattle shed consists of a hard construction material, such as concrete, on which the cattle - in the following speaks of a cattle representative of every other large cattle - either directly on the hard honeycomb floor of the stable lies or this is sprinkled with a relatively thin layer of straw or sawdust as supernatant.

II. Technical background

Faeces and urine either run off the gutters or cracks in the raw floor of the barn, or are disposed of along with the bedding material, such as straw, which usually occurs at least once a day.

The milk yield of dairy cows depends on the one hand on their health, on the other hand on their well-being.

For the health it is important that the cattle are kept clean, so they are not polluted by excrement and urine, especially udders and other sensitive areas are not in contact with soiled areas on the bed.

Above all for the welfare, but also for the health, in addition to hygiene requirements, a soft and comfortable mattress surface is important in order to avoid pressure points, chafing or injury to animals due to a hard surface and surrounding hard components as possible.

In this sense, it is of course known to choose the thickness of the bedding layer larger, on the one hand to increase the storage capacity for moisture and feces, on the other hand, but also to increase the elasticity of the bedding layer, which increases with increasing layer thickness.

However, since both straw and sawdust are also a cost factor, and moreover, the effort for the most daily changes is very high, there are now other solutions:

In a compost stable, the bedding material is applied without first eliminating the layers of bedding material underneath, but with different advantages and disadvantages.

By means of a honeycomb flooring, the so-called sand bed honeycomb, it is attempted to reduce the required amount of frequently changing bedding material in the long term by sand in the above and usually open bottom honeycomb is surrounded by webs, and on this Way the scattered litter material over it in the form of a thin layer of sawdust or straw can be deducted as litter, without causing larger amounts of sand go along.

In addition, the layer of sand in the honeycomb naturally increases the storage capacity for moisture and also the elasticity of the entire floor structure.

The main advantage of sand, however, is that it is aseptic as an inorganic material in contrast to organic bedding material, and pathogens and vermin can not propagate therein or at least much worse than in an organic bedding material, which makes it possible to change the sand very rarely.

The disadvantage of this solution, however, has been found that by running around the cattle on the ground structure of the sand is also pressed under the webs and pushes them high, so that in extreme cases, they even represent a trip threshold for cattle.

To avoid the honeycomb flooring can be attached to as many attachment points relative to the ground, in particular screwed, but the cost is high and above all, the cost of changing the honeycomb flooring is thereby much higher.

This honeycomb flooring is usually made of elastic recycled plastic material, usually made from old car tires.

III. Presentation of the invention

Technical task

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a honeycomb floor covering and a lying surface for a stable, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned above, has further advantages and yet is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, assemble and change.

Solution of the task

This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments will be apparent from the dependent claims.

With regard to the use of a honeycomb floor covering as so-called sand bed honeycomb in a large animal house for creating a lying surface, the object is achieved in that the honeycomb floor covering, the individual honeycomb rooms according to the invention at least partially have a honeycomb floor, on the raw soil of large animals Stalles, especially in the individual boxes, only designed and the honeycomb must be filled with sand, but beyond only very few fixtures or no additional attachments of the honeycomb flooring over the raw floor of the stable are necessary.

So it may be quite sufficient, only in the four corners of the in the plan on the laid flooring usually square honeycomb flooring to screw this against the raw soil, or not even this, for example, when the honeycomb flooring by limiting components of the stable coarse in Position is held.

Because of the now weighing on the honeycomb floor covering weight of the filled into the honeycomb sand then the animal running on it and lying can no longer move the honeycomb flooring.

This drastically reduces the assembly effort and also prevents multiple drilling of the raw soil, since moisture naturally penetrates into the raw soil through these drill holes and can also attack the steel reinforcement of the raw soil, which generally consists of a stable concrete slab.

In many cases, moreover, no concrete raw soil is required at all, but it is sufficient just a level ground in the form of soil on which the honeycomb flooring can be designed.

Preferably, the raw soil - whether concreted or just leveled soil - has a tendency towards a gutter, which is transverse to adjacent cubicles for each animal and across several or all of the cubicles a row continuously at the rear end of the cubicles ,

The honeycomb floor covering is - so far as it has gutters for urine in its underside - designed so that these gutters point to the gutter, so their course is arranged transversely to the direction of flow of the manure gutter.

In addition, the operator has the choice, even a previously laid and mounted and in operation honeycomb flooring covering areas laterally covered on the top with cover plates, so to close the upwardly open honeycomb spaces on the top. For example, in the rear area, the Kotbereich, or even in the front area, adjacent to the feeding trough, to here each have a smooth, easy-to-clean surface available, but still for the livestock much softer to lay down than a hard raw -Ground.

If the webs of the honeycomb floor covering have different web heights, ie the webs end at different heights at the top, after filling the honeycomb flooring is filled with sand, especially clay sand, at least up to the height of the upper edge of the lower webs, preferably up to Upper edge of the higher webs:

In this way can be easily achieved by peeling over the upper edges of the respective webs a flat surface.

Subsequently, the cattle with his hooves still carry out some of the sand from the honeycomb flooring, but after some time and thereby held compacting the sand filling in the honeycomb ends the sand filling ends below the upper edges of the high webs, for example, at the level of the upper edges of the low Bars or in between, and then little more sand is carried out, as there is that litter in the form of sawdust or straw.

One goal may also be to even let the already compacted by use of sand up to the level of the upper edges of the high webs, so that the scattering material in the height range is positioned above it and thus easily deducted, so removed and exchanged, can be. In this case, the sand filling at the beginning of the operation must be up to a height above the upper edges of the higher webs, and the resulting increased sand loss at the beginning of the operation must then be accepted.

The function of the lower webs is then primarily to minimize the shifting of the sand within the main honeycomb space that the high webs delimit, because this results in exactly transporting sand up over the upper edges of the higher webs and thus often to a sand loss, on the other hand, but also to an undesirably deep sinking of the hoof of the animal.

By running in the floor coverings ducts, which are connected to a supply line of the stable can be conducted in the winter warm and cold water in the summer to either cool or heat the mattress for the animals and thus the entire stable.

With regard to the honeycomb floor covering, this object is achieved in that the honeycomb floor covering, in particular the individual honeycomb rooms of the floor covering, are at least partially closed at the lower end of the webs of a honeycomb floor, but preferably not completely the individual honeycomb floor.

This allows the flow of liquids from the honeycomb space, but makes it difficult to advance the sand in the honeycomb space below the lower ends of the webs and lifting the web quite considerably, and yet the cost of materials for the flooring remains relatively low, and also the manufacturability is easier than with a substantially continuous closed bottom.

For the individual honeycomb this means that viewed in vertical section in at least one transverse direction of the honeycomb the free passage through the honeycomb from top to bottom at the level of the lower end of the webs is less than measured 25% of the total height of the webs from the upper end, in particular less than measured 50% of the total height of the webs of the upper end, in particular less than measured 75% of the total height of the webs of the upper end.

In particular, the honeycomb bottom can consist of a foot which is widened at the lower end of the webs, relative to the region of the web located above it.

As a result, the sand located in the honeycomb space is increasingly compressed in pressure from above in the lower region, even in the horizontal transverse direction, which also complicates the penetration of the sand under the webs.

In this case, in the lower region of the cross section of the web towards the lower end increasingly broaden, in particular widen conically.

As a result, when pressed from above on the sand, the lower ends of the conically divergent flanks of the webs are additionally pressed against the underlying raw soil and causes an improved seal against the ingress of sand.

• - im Querschnitt V-förmig gestaltet ist und/oder
• - deren Flanken parallel zu den äußeren Flanken des Steges in diesem Höhenbereich verlaufen und/oder
• - die Kerben sich kreuzender Stege sich ebenfalls kreuzen, bewirken diese Kerben zum einen eine Verminderung des Materialbedarfs in diesem breiten Fuß der Stege, und dienen gleichzeitig als Ablaufrinnen für den Urin, der unter die Stege hineinsickert, insbesondere wenn sich die Kerben kreuzen.

If in the lower end faces of the webs each extending in the direction of the webs notch is present, the particular

• - Is designed in cross-section V-shaped and / or
• - Run their edges parallel to the outer edges of the web in this altitude range and / or
• - the notches of intersecting webs also intersect, these notches, on the one hand, reduce material requirements in this broad foot of the webs, and at the same time serve as gutters for the urine, which infiltrates under the webs, especially when the notches intersect.

Such web grids, which are largely continuous from top to bottom, can also be closed at the bottom, even if the floor covering comprises floor panels which fit into the individual honeycomb spaces and with their edge areas on their honeycomb floor, in particular the widespread feet of the webs , in particular the outer flanks of the webs in the lower region, rest.

For this purpose, these bottom plates are preferably inserted from above into the honeycomb spaces, for which preferably the webs from top to bottom have a constant or increasing width.

Thus, a bottom side largely closed, even partially regionally largely closed on the floor, produced and the bottom-side closure also be introduced later, for example, in the area in which the animal stands with his feet on the floor covering.

In this case, the bottom plates may be connected to the lower ends of the webs, for example glued or welded or latched, in order to further complicate the penetration of sand between the webs and the bottom plates to below the webs.

Instead, however, the floor covering may also comprise at least one, in particular only one, floor slab which is located under a plurality of honeycomb spaces ( 3 ) and in particular connected to the lower end faces of the webs of the web grid lying thereon, in particular glued, welded or mechanically connected, in particular locked, is.

A two-part manufacturing process simplifies the production of the floor covering, and in turn gives the possibility that the floor covering has a largely closed floor only in certain areas.

In a preferred embodiment, the honeycomb spaces are largely closed at the bottom, in particular by more than 50%, in particular more than 70%, in particular more than 90% of the honeycomb floor covering, in particular the individual honeycomb of the floor covering, in particular the entire honeycomb floor covering, a largely closed Honeycomb floor have

Preferably, the honeycomb bottom connects the lower ends of the webs surrounding the honeycomb space, which stabilizes the floor covering.

Preferably, the honeycomb bottom has at most a relatively small discharge opening for liquid as a passage opening through the honeycomb bottom.

The webs have a cross section, the largest extent in the vertical, that is perpendicular to the main plane of the flat honeycomb floor covering runs.

Preferably, this drain opening is as far away from the webs, at different heights of the further upwardly projecting webs away.

Preferably, the drain hole present in the honeycomb bottom of a honeycomb space is less than 30%, better less than 20%, better still less than 10% better less than 5% of the area of the honeycomb space considered in the plan view.

Preferably, the free passage of the sum of the drainage openings of a honeycomb space is at most 60%, better at most 45%, better at most 30%, better at most 20%, better at most 10% better at most 5% of the considered in the supervision area of the honeycomb space, especially the main -Wabenraumes or sub-honeycomb space, has, in which it is arranged.

Preferably, the free passage of each drain opening is a maximum of 25 cm ² , better at most 15 cm ² , better at most 10 cm ² , better at most 5 cm ² , better at most 3 cm ² .

Furthermore, the upper side of the floor, that is the honeycomb floor, should have a slope towards this drain opening in the case of a honeycomb floor covering resting on a horizontal base, the slope being between 1% and 10%, better between 2% and 5%. This ensures rapid dehumidification of the sand filling in the honeycomb.

In addition, in the bottom of the soil downwardly open drainage channels should be present in the honeycomb floor, so that the effluent through the drain holes does not jam when the honeycomb flooring with its flat bottom rests tightly on a flat raw floor.

For reasons of simple alignability, the individual honeycomb spaces considered in the plan view and surrounded by the webs have a polygonal peripheral contour, with each honeycomb space preferably having the same circumferential contour. These are, for example, hexagons, pentagons, squares or triangles.

Preferably, the intermediate angle between the individual polygonal lines of the polygonal peripheral contour should be max. 130 °, better only 100 °, better only 90 ° or only 80 °, even better only 70 ° or even 60 °, in order to avoid moving sand out of these inner corners whenever possible.

Preferably, the honeycomb flooring is rectangular in plan view, and the webs extend in one of the two directions of the principal plane defined by the outer edges of the honeycomb flooring viewed in plan view, and preferably extend over the entire extent of the honeycomb flooring in that direction.

If the honeycomb flooring is to be used in a stable for cattle, the largest extension of a honeycomb space should be considered in the supervision max. 22 cm, better only 20 cm, better only 18 cm, better only 15 cm and / or the area of a honeycomb room, so a main honeycomb room or a sub-honeycomb room should max. 250 cm ² , better max. 200 cm ² , better at most 150 cm ² , better max. 120 cm ² .

Preferably, the honeycomb flooring for a stable for cattle, the smallest extent in the main plane of the honeycomb floor covering should not exceed 15 cm, better at most 10 cm, better at most 9 cm, better at most 8 cm.

Preferably, the honeycomb flooring for a cattle barn should have a minimum extension in the main plane of the honeycomb flooring, in particular a rectangular honeycomb space, at least 3 cm, better at least 4 cm, better at least 5 cm, better at least 7 cm, better at least 8 cm ,

In this way, the shifting of sand within a honeycomb is possible only to a very limited extent, and the sand is better compacted in the individual honeycomb spaces.

The material of the honeycomb floor covering should be elastic, in particular rubbery, and is usually a plastic recycling material, which consists of shredded old tires of cars or trucks. Preferably, the material has a Shore hardness between 60 and 75, better between 65 and 70, that this hardness has proven to be optimal for use as a floor covering in a large animal house, so in particular for cattle or horses.

The difference in hardness or elasticity difference between the web and the compacted sand filling next to it is therefore relatively small, so that it is not unpleasant for the animal to stand with one part of the hoof on a bridge and with the other on the sand filling.

• - nicht größer als 25 %, besser nicht größer als 20 %, besser nicht größer als 15 %, besser nicht größer als 12 % ist und/oder
• - nicht niedriger als 2 %, besser nicht niedriger als 5 %, besser nicht niedriger als 8 % ist.

Preferably, the rubber-like material consists of interconnected granular grains of a rubber-like, in particular consisting of motor vehicle tires, rubber granules, wherein the binder content, in particular the polyurethane content,

• - not more than 25%, better not more than 20%, better not more than 15%, better not more than 12% and / or
• - not lower than 2%, better not lower than 5%, better not lower than 8%.

As a result, on the one hand a solid cohesion of the granules is achieved, which is also very resistant to aging, on the other hand, the coating is not too rigid by the binder used, the elasticity is generally much lower than that of the rubber granules.

• - nicht größer als 60 %, besser nicht größer als 55 %, besser nicht größer als 50 %, besser nicht größer als 47 % ist und/oder
• - nicht kleiner als 25 %, besser nicht kleiner als 30 %, besser nicht kleiner als 35 %, besser nicht kleiner als 40 %, besser nicht kleiner als 43 % ist.

It has also proven to be advantageous if the elongation at break of the material measured according to DIN 53571 / A

• - not greater than 60%, better not greater than 55%, better not greater than 50%, better not greater than 47% and / or
• - not less than 25%, better not less than 30%, better not less than 35%, better not less than 40%, better not less than 43%.

Such an elongation at break can withstand the stresses occurring in an animal house for a long time, without having to use a much more expensive material with a different elongation at break.

• - maximal 950 kg/m3, besser nur maximal 850 kg/m3, besser nur maximal 800 kg/m3 beträgt und/oder
• - mindestens 300 kg/m3, besser mindestens 400 kg/m3, besser mindestens 500 kg/m3, besser mindestens 600 kg/m3, besser mindestens 750 kg/m3 beträgt,

If the specific weight of the material of the flooring

• - maximum 950 kg / m3, better only maximum 850 kg / m3, better only maximum 800 kg / m3 and / or
• - at least 300 kg / m3, better at least 400 kg / m3, better at least 500 kg / m3, better at least 600 kg / m3, better at least 750 kg / m3,

On the one hand, this contributes to the fact that the material rests tightly on the ground due to its own weight, but on the other hand, it can still be transported well, even by hand.

Although the honeycomb floor covering laid out on a level surface then has a main plane which is defined, for example, by the flat bottom or upper side of the honeycomb floor covering lying parallel in this state or parallel thereto, this usually is sufficiently elastic to be rolled up for transport can.

If the honeycomb floor covering only webs of the same height, the upper edges are so all at the same height, especially if they protrude from the same, just continuous honeycomb bottom up, the drain holes under the webs, especially under the joints, in particular the Intersections, the webs may be arranged, however, designed so large that they protrude laterally beyond the width of the webs and thereby communicate with each of the adjacent honeycomb spaces to the connection points.

For this purpose, the drain opening then has a diameter which is at least twice, better three times, better four times the thickness of the webs, which intersect in particular over the drain opening.

If the honeycomb floor covering has different heights, that is to say in particular higher and lower, webs, the higher webs preferably comprise main honeycomb spaces, viewed in plan view, through which at least one lower web runs in the top view, thereby reducing the main honeycomb space. Divided honeycomb rooms.

The drainage holes are located - especially with two intersecting low webs in a main honeycomb space - under the lower web, in particular the intersection or Joint of the lower webs. The percentage upper limit of the size of the discharge opening with respect to the honeycomb space then relates to the sub-honeycomb space and the proportion of the area of the discharge opening which opens into this sub-honeycomb space.

In the bottom of the floor covering, so the bottom, gutters can be incorporated for the urine, so that it can flow more easily between the bottom of the soil and the raw soil according to the slope of the raw soil, preferably towards the feces gutter.

The gutters are arranged so that they run in the correctly designed in a box flooring in its longitudinal direction. Since the laying direction of the elements of the floor covering in advance is usually not known, the gutters can also intersect, running preferably always parallel to one of the outer edges of the viewed in the top view element of the floor covering.

The height difference between the upper ends of the higher and the lower webs is preferably between 40 mm and 3 mm, preferably between 30 mm and 5 mm, preferably between 20 mm and 8 mm.

This ensures on the one hand, that after an initial filling with sand up to the level of the higher webs by the occurring during operation compacting the sand whose surface decreases so far that a further transport of sand into adjacent honeycomb rooms, especially main honeycomb rooms, can hardly take place and on the one hand the sand loss is low and on the other hand the mixing of the sand with a litter material applied on it like sawdust or straw remains low.

The honeycomb flooring may preferably comprise one or more cover panels covering the open, upper side of one or more adjacent honeycomb spaces.

For this purpose, the cover plate on one or more downwardly facing positioning projections, which positions the cover plate positively against the one or more honeycomb areas to be covered.

Most such cover plates are on the upper edges of the webs, in particular the lower webs on.

However, the positioning projections can also extend to the honeycomb bottom of the honeycomb space and thereby additionally support the cover plate down, but preferably the covered honeycomb spaces are so far filled with sand, that the cover plate is supported by the fact that between the webs on the Sand filling flies up.

Preferably, the cover plate is strip-shaped with a length that extends in one direction, preferably the transverse direction, so the shorter side of the rectangular honeycomb floor covering, over the entire extent of the honeycomb floor covering.

Thus, either the front head area or the rear Kotbereich the honeycomb flooring with such a cover plate are closed at the top and offers a flat, easy to clean top.

In addition, in the floor covering circumferentially closed ducts may be present in order to be able to heat or cool by flowing cold or warm fluid, usually water, the floor element and thus the entire stable, depending on the season.

Preferably, the ducts are formed as a separate tube, which is provided in the underside of the bottom, open towards the bottom, laying grooves and preferably locked or otherwise fixed.

The two ends of the usually only one duct, usually in the form of a hose, open into one of the end faces of the floor covering and each have a connection element in order to be able to be tightly connected to a supply line present in the stable.

Embodiments according to the invention are described in more detail below by way of example. Show it:

• 1 : a first design of a honeycomb flooring in perspective view,
• 2a : the flooring of the 1 in the supervision,
• 2 B : the flooring of the 1 , cut along the line IIb-IIb in 2a .
• 3a , b: a second design of a floor covering in plan view and in sectional view,

• 6b a vertical section through the third design along the line VIb -VIb in 6a .
• 6c a vertical section through the fourth design along the line VIc - VIc in 6a

The 1 and 2a, b show a first design of a floor covering 1 , So an element of the plate-shaped flooring 1 :

How best 2 B recognize, protrude from a plate-shaped honeycomb floor 4 from integrally connected webs 2.1 . 2.2 upwards, the cross section of the bars 2.1 . 2.2 with the direction of its greatest extent perpendicular to the honeycomb floor 4 So for example its bottom 4a , runs.

The bridges 2.1 . 2.2 run around the entire outer edge of the element 1 of the flooring around and viewed in the plan in the area within the outer circumferential webs 2.1 the bridges intersect 2.1 at joints 7 ,

In this case are different high and wide webs 2.1 . 2.2 used: The higher and wider bridges 2.1 run along the circumferential edges and at regular intervals parallel to the edges of the honeycomb floor covering 1 so these higher webs 2.2 square honeycomb rooms 3.1 forming main honeycomb rooms.

Inside every major honeycomb room 3.1 two intersecting lower bridges run 2.2 each diagonally and crossing at a 90 ° angle through the square main honeycomb rooms 3.1 , thereby forming each triangular sub-honeycomb spaces 3.2 , bounded in each case by two of the lower webs 2.2 and one of the higher jetties 2.1 ,

In each of the sub-honeycomb rooms 3.2 is located in the middle of a drain opening 5 that serves to be in the honeycomb rooms 3.1 . 3.2 Urine collected in the sand by the honeycomb soil during operation 4 can pass through, on the underlying raw soil 101 of the stable on which the flooring 100 is designed as in a longitudinal section through a box 99 a large animal barn 100 in 5a shown.

Regarding the drainage holes 5 is in the lower right main honeycomb room 3.1 another variant shown in which a - then viewed from the diameter in the view much larger - drain opening 5 as a passage opening through the honeycomb floor 4 under the crossroads 7 the diagonal lower webs 2.2 is located, the drain opening 5 then, of course, has a diameter that is greater than the joint 7 the lower and narrower bridges 2.2 , As a result, each of the side honeycomb rooms 3.2 in its right-angled corner connects to the one in the supervision of the intersection 7 protruding drain opening 5 ,

The bridges 2.1 . 2.2 own from the bottom 2a to the top 2 B a constant thickness, but could also have a decreasing thickness towards the free end, as at the lower lower web 2.2 in 2 B shown.

The in the 3a, b in the same directions as in 2a, b illustrated second design of the floor covering 1 differs from the first design in that there are no oblique or diagonal ridges to the outer edges:

As with the first design of the 1 and 2 a, b are wide, high ridges 2 along the outer circumference and in each case parallel to the longitudinal and transverse edges of the floor covering 1 and thereby form square honeycomb spaces, which in this second design by parallel to the longitudinal outer edges of the floor covering considered in the plan 1 extending further webs 2 in each case two equal, rectangular, but not square, honeycomb rooms 3 be divided.

If this of the square honeycomb separating, quasi halving, further bridge 2 the same height and the same thickness as the outside surrounding and remaining webs 2 , due to the same height, there are no main honeycomb rooms and sub-honeycomb rooms, only honeycomb rooms 3 which are rectangular with about twice the length as width, as throughout 3a and in 3b is shown in the top third.

The main square honeycomb rooms 3 subdividing, in each case middle webs 2.2 However, they can also be lower and / or narrower than those with 2.1 designated other webs 2.1 and then divide a square main honeycomb space 3.1 in two sub-honeycomb rooms 3.2 as in the lower two-thirds of the 3a and also the 3b shown.

The smallest extent e of the honeycomb space considered in the supervision 3 in the top row or sub-honeycomb space 3.2 as in the bottom two lines 3a is less than 50% of their maximum extent e ,

In each individual honeycomb space is in turn either a central drain opening 5 as a passage opening through the honeycomb floor 4 to expire the urine, or as the lower right honeycomb according to 3a two drainage holes located on the longitudinal axis 5 ,

This is - at over the entire element 1 Consistent arrangement - in each of the square honeycomb rooms, so to speak, the main honeycomb room 3.1 , only one or two drainage holes 5 present in the first and second transverse directions 11.1 and 11.2 extending rows and columns are arranged.

3c shows the rectangular flooring 1 the 3a, b , there each the upper half, from below. Here are the drain holes 5 arranged as in 3b visible in the upper half.

3c shows, on the one hand, that in each case one of the in a representation horizontally in the second transverse direction 11.2 extending row of drain holes 5 in one in the bottom 4a of the soil 4 trained gutter 6 flow into the two in the first transverse direction 11.1 extending end faces of the floor covering 1 lead.

This can be through the drain opening 5 down-flowing liquid better in the second transverse direction 11.2 between the bottom 4a of the soil 4 and the top of the raw soil 101 flow away.

In arranged in rows and / or columns drain holes 5 can these in gutters 6 open, regardless of which web divisions on the top of the flooring 1 are present and how in the distribution of drain holes 5 in the flooring 1 was chosen.

At the bottom of the 3c is a conduit 12 shown, meandering over the entire surface of the floor covering 1 extends and - preferably on the same side, usually a narrow side - with each of its ends 12a . 12b ends and there with a connecting element 14 , such as a screw connection 14 or a snap closure 14 , is provided to connect this duct 12 to a superordinate supply line 8th as explained later.

The duct 12 is here as a flexible hose 12 formed, in a meandering, to the bottom 4a of the soil 4 open, laying 13 fits and in this is preferably fixed only by pressing.

Alternatively, the entire underside 4a of the soil 4 be formed with a regular pattern of downwardly projecting studs whose height to the outer diameter of the hose 12 trained cable duct 12 corresponds, so the hose 12 in a freely selectable pattern and also distance of the meandering loops from each other in the bottom of the floor covering 1 can be pressed in and laid.

Unless in the bottom gutters 6 are present, they can also simultaneously as Verlegenuten 13 serve, as with the upper two gutters 6 in 3c shown, there are then only cross connections between adjacent gutters 6 in the respective end area of the floor covering 1 necessary to the hose 12 again meandering along the entire underside 4a of the soil 4 to be able to relocate.

At least in the area of the mouth of the drainage holes 5 Care must be taken to ensure that the liquid escaping downwards on the hose 2 either longitudinally or vertically 10 can flow down past this.

Preferably, however, the laying grooves 13 - as best in the sectional view of 4b to recognize - V-shaped and expand to the open side, so downwards, so in the cross section of these laying grooves 13 considered next to and partially above the inserted tube 12 Free space remains for draining the from the passage openings 5 Leaking liquids, provided the gutters 6 - in the sectional view only in 3b at the top drain opening 5 shown - as Verlegenuten 13 be used.

As an element of a flooring 1 usually considered in the supervision is much smaller than the footprint of an entire box 99 , every box must have multiple elements 1 of the flooring 1 be designed, extending in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the box 99 connect to each other.

Nevertheless, separate cable ducts under the entire floor covering 12 in the form of a hose 12 can be laid, are the laying grooves 13 in the bottom of the elements 1 preferably according to 3d designed so that it along one of the main directions of extension of the elements 1 go through to the end of the element 1 but, shortly before the end, it's arcuate, preferably semicircular cross-connections between each two adjacent straight sections of laying grooves 13 have that connect them together.

If the individual elements 1 consecutively with matching course direction and arrangement of the straight parts of their laying grooves 13 Being connected to each other in this way can also involve multiple elements 1 away a hose 12 as a duct, and only at the end of the last element 1 a box 99 over the arcuate connection to an adjacent, straight laying channel 13 transferred and then moved back there to the beginning area. In this way can be in the bottom of the entire flooring 1 a box 99 without problems such a tubular duct 12 be laid meandering.

The 4a shows in the supervision of the same floor covering in principle 1 as 2a , but with a larger number of honeycomb rooms, and additionally in this case the in 4a left two and right two columns of main honeycomb spaces 3.1 each of a cover plate 8th - which is only partially shown - covered.

These strip-shaped cover plates 8th each extend over the entire, in the first transverse direction 11.1 running narrow side of the floor covering 1 especially if this is the entire flooring 1 a whole box 99 is like in the 5 a, b shown.

These laid cover plates 8th in the front area and rear area of the floor covering 1 a box 99 At the rear, it serves to provide a smooth surface from which the feces can be easily removed.

In the front area, this serves to prevent food taken up by the animal, which falls down on the front area of the floor covering, from disappearing into the honeycomb areas.

So that the cover plates 8th remain in position, they have from its bottom downward projecting positioning projections 8a passing over the top of a dock 2.1 - on which the cover plate 8th rests - protrude down to the cover plate 8th positive fit in both transverse directions 11.1 and 11.2 to position.

Such a positioning extension 8a can essentially fill the entire honeycomb space in which it protrudes from above, or even protrude only in the upper region, in particular on the lower webs 2.2 only rest and thus only by the height difference h between the upper ends of the higher webs against the lower webs in the main honeycomb spaces 3.1 protrude. The height difference h is in 2 B drawn in, as well as the total height H2 the high aspiration 2.1 as well as the total height H1 a lower strut 2.2 , each measured from the bottom 4a of the soil 4 out.

The 5a, b show in vertical section in the longitudinal direction of a box 99 a large animal barn 100 the use of the floor covering according to the invention 1 :

As in 4a can be shown for the entire covering of the raw soil 101 such a box 99 several, for example four or even six, elements 1 of the flooring 1 are needed, due to the peculiarities of the invention on the raw soil 101 merely have to be designed and otherwise not fixed, in particular not screwed, must be.

This can be the raw soil 101 also be somewhat uneven, which is for example in a merely mashed soil, which is therefore not concreted, is present.

In the head area, so at the front end of the box 99 , juts from the raw bottom of the box 99 usually one in the transverse direction 11.1 running parapet 106 up to the chest of the animal upwards, over which the animal, not shown, head into the feeding trough 105 can lower. The animal stands on the one with the honeycomb spaces 3 open-topped floor coverings 1 , which join together as seamlessly as possible, and their honeycomb rooms 3 at least up to the height of the lower webs, preferably up to the height of the highest or all the same height webs 2 with sand 103 are filled, on which a litter material 104 like straw.

In the back area is the box 99 usually limited by a likewise in the first transverse direction 11.1 running rear board 107 , which can actually be a board, or - especially in a concrete raw floor 101 - in one piece together with the raw soil 101 can be concreted.

On the side facing away from the box side of the tailboard 107 also runs in the first transverse direction 11.1 , but over a variety of juxtaposed boxes 99 Throughout, a gutter 102 whose course direction 102 ' ie the first transverse direction 11.1 ' the box 99 equivalent.

Depending on the laying direction of the elements 1 of the flooring 1 in the box can be the first transverse direction 11.1 ' the box 99 either the first or the second transverse direction 11.1 . 11.2 of the single element 1 of the flooring 1 correspond.

So that through the drain holes 5 Downflowing urine also in the feces 102 can get, owns the raw soil 101 preferably an inclination α opposite the horizontal from the front to the rear end, ie to the gutter 102 There, and in addition, there is the raw soil in the box 99 from a passage 109 through the backboard 107 or below it to the gutter 102 , at the level of the underside 4a of the soil 4 of the flooring 1 ,

To the droppipe 102 closes further down the aisle 110 on, usually between two rows of rows facing each other at the back of boxes 99 is arranged as better in the enlarged view of the 5b to recognize on which the caregiver can go for the animals.

As in 5a as well as the enlarged rear area of a box 99 the 5b shown, is the rear area of the entire floor covering 1 a box 99 with a cover plate 8th covered, as well as in 4a shown.

Additionally is in 5b the connection of the end 12a of the duct 12 to one in this case in or on the tailboard 107 laid supply line 108 shown, which must be detachable, if the flooring 1 removed, cleaned or replaced.

Through the supply line 108 can the ducts 12 the floor coverings 1 In the summer, cold water for cooling or warm water for heating in winter.

The 6a, b . c show third and fourth designs in which the flooring 1 in two separate parts, namely a web grid 21 and at least one bottom plate 18 . 19 on the other hand, at least made, in particular in use, still from two separate parts with respect to web grid 21 and floor plates 18 . 19 consists.

In the fourth design of the 6c is the flooring 1 from a grid 21 from webs 2 - Whose webs may be designed as previously described - this web grid 21 on a continuous floor plate 19 seated, which viewed in the supervision is preferably the same size as the bridge grid 21 ,

This is the web grid 21 viewed in the plan view in a defined position on the bottom plate 19 put on, so that in the bottom plate 19 provided at defined positions, the bottom plate 19 penetrating, drainage holes 5 in the individual honeycomb rooms 3 of the sitting on the web grid 21 lead.

Preferably, the web grid 21 viewed in plan view with its peripheral outer edge aligned with the peripheral outer edge of the bottom plate 19 placed.

However, it is also possible that these two parts, ie web grid 21 and bottom plate 19 , have different sizes. For example, the bottom plate 19 so large that it fills the bottom of a lounger box completely, due to the possibility of winding up the relatively thin bottom plate 19 is possible. This facilitates the positioning and, if necessary, fixing this base plate 19 on the raw soil 101 the couch box 99 In the stable 100 ,

Because the bridge grid 21 Due to their height can not be wound, they can be smaller in the supervision and it will then several, for example four or six pieces, needed to the entire surface of the chaise box and thus the bottom plate 19 cover.

The bridge grid 21 can - preferably only after placing on the bottom plate 19 - Are connected to this, for example, by gluing, which, however, a subsequent change, even the sand filling in the honeycomb rooms, much more difficult.

Preferable is a releasable connection, such as the mating or locking of these two parts, for example by - as in 6c shown in the lower part, the lower ends of the webs 2 over the underside projecting pins 22 or the entire lower end of the bridge 2 as a cone 22 is formed, which in corresponding recesses of the bottom plate 19 fits. The cones 22 can also be strip-shaped and along the direction of the webs 2 extend.

The mating does not only cause a reliable positioning of the web grid 21 on the bottom plate 19 in the transverse direction to the jetties 2 but also hinders the penetration of sand 103 with which the honeycomb room 3 is filled, under the bottom, so the lower ends of these extensions 22 What the avoidable pushing up of the bars 2 of the walkway grid 21 would cause, because in such a plugged into a matching recess pin 22 The joints in between act as a labyrinth seal, which the sand would have to overcome at least halfway.

The 6b shows in vertical section along the line VIb - VIb a third design, in which the floor covering also exclusively from a, but specially designed, web grid 21 can consist of:

The honeycomb floor 4 covers only a small part of the considered in the supervision open space between the upper areas of the webs 2 off by the webs 2 of the walkway grid 21 at its lower end 2a each at least one widened foot 20 have, in this case to the lower end face increasingly continuously, in particular conically widened, while the webs 2 in the height range above, here about the upper 70%, has a constant width. This frame-like encircling honeycomb floor 4 - as in 6a , left half drawn - causes pressure from the top of the in the honeycomb space 3 existing sand filling the sand 103 from above against the downwardly directed flanks 17 So the widened foot 20 , the bridge 2 pushes and thus the webs 2 with its lower end face against the underlying raw soil 101 pressed.

As a result, the penetration of sand between the lower end face of the webs 2 of the walkway grid 21 and the raw soil 101 at least complicated, mostly completely prevented.

So that the material accumulation in the area of the widened foot 20 not too big, can from the bottom of the webs 2 forth in this one notch 15 be present, preferably in the extension direction of the individual webs 2 runs, so in particular the notches 15 intersecting footbridges 2 also cross.

This additionally increases the elasticity of the webs 2 in the direction of the vertical 10 because such a cross-sectionally V-shaped foot 20 is more elastic in this direction than a solid foot in this area 20 ,

Preferably runs at a V-shaped notch 15 the flank 16 the notch parallel to the flank 17 on the outside of the bridge 2 in the lower area, so that the split in this lower area bridge 2 in both branches each has a constant thickness from top to bottom.

Such a widened foot 20 In addition, the possibility opens, targeted either only some or all honeycomb spaces 3 individually in the lower area by honeycomb bottoms inserted from above 18 in terms of the free passage opening from top to bottom more or completely close, by placing in these floor panels 18 be introduced, with their edge areas on the widened foot 20 of the bridges 2 of the walkway grid 21 rest.

Because preferably then have all webs 2 of the walkway grid 21 a widened foot 20 so that the bottom plate 18 in the honeycomb room 3 rests circumferentially on the widened foot.

For this purpose, the edge region of the bottom plate 18 to the design of the widened foot 20 adapted, in this case equipped with an obliquely downward sloping flank on the outer edge, on the obliquely downwardly extending flank 17 of the footbridge 2 fits in the lower area.

To insert the bottom plate 18 from the top should not obstruct unnecessarily, should the webs 2 from the altitude of the upper edge of the inserted base plate 18 from upwards preferably have no increasing thickness.

However, protrusions can 23 from the side walls of the bridges 2 in the height range immediately above the top of the bottom plate 18 in their inlaid position, where they with their edges on the widened foot 20 the surrounding ridges 2 rests, serve as a latching element, under the side edge of the bottom plate 18 latched in vertical direction to an undesirable lifting of the bottom plate 18 to avoid to the top.
