Abstract

Poultry house, in particular chicken house, with side walls (33, 34, 35, 36) and a roof (31), characterized in that several manure trays (13) are arranged in the floor level of the house (1), above the manure trays (13) A grid (17) is arranged as the floor of the stall at least in a partial area and the manure trays (13) have an upwardly open, essentially U-shaped profile.

Description

The invention relates to a stable, especially chicken coop and a Kotabfördereinrichtung therefor. Such stables are used, for example, in poultry farming or poultry farming to allow for keeping ground or free-range.

For species-appropriate husbandry and free-range poultry houses are placed on meadows or pastures. Since the animals are also outdoors, especially in free range, the immediate stable environment is polluted with feces. In addition, some animals, such as chickens paw, so that the soil, preferably grass, is permanently damaged. In order to avoid adverse effects on animals and the environment, it is therefore necessary to clean the barn and the environment or to rearrange the animals from time to time.

In the EP 1 119 241 B1 For this purpose, a movable poultry house is proposed which, by folding in the lateral areas of a scraping trough, makes it possible to reduce the width of the house, so that it is possible to travel on public roads. Since not only the stable environment, but also the chicken coop itself is heavily contaminated by the animals, this must continue to be thoroughly cleaned with great effort to prevent an excessive occurrence of germs and pathogens. In addition, this movable poultry house has in its central area a grate with an underlying drop conveyor in the form of two mutually parallel conveyor belts.

In the DE 20 2007 010 333 U1 For this purpose, a preferably mobile chicken coop is proposed, which has below the grate a Kotabfördereinrichtung in the form of a longitudinally extending manure conveyor belt, which extends to transition areas over the entire interior. Below this conveyor belt, this stable has a scratching area.

Even if the manure is thereby promoted to the outside, but it is not comfortable to invite the out in the entire barn width outwardly promoted manure with a shovel from the ground in a wheelbarrow or the like and dispose. In addition, the structure with a conveyor belt or manure belt is quite complex and expensive to manufacture and purchase and in maintenance and operation.

The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a stable for poultry and a Kotabfördereinrichtung therefor, which are constructed in a simple and cost-effective manner and yet allow a comfortable manure removal and cleaning.

This object is achieved by a stall with the features of claim 1 and by a Kotabfördereinrichtung with the features of claim 7.

The inventive design of a Kotabfördereinrichtung by means of several Kotwannen, preferably with a longitudinally displaceable Kotschieber, the bottom of a poultry house, especially hen house, can be easily demystified. For this purpose, the feces produced at the stable floor in the plurality, preferably juxtaposed, Kotwannen by means of a movement (longitudinal displacement) of the therein Kotschieber or by other means, such as inserted slide, by broom or by water or air pressure, transported to the outside. For this purpose, each tray made of sheet metal has at least one open frontal end. Of course, it is also conceivable to carry out both ends of the tub open, so that in this way the resulting manure can be cleared from one end to the other end in a direction of movement and / or conveyed from both ends to the outside.

By arranging a plurality of substantially U-shaped, upwardly open Kotwannen side by side can be built in a simple way (cropping and selection of the number of trays) a floor plan of any dimension for a poultry house.

If the Kotwannen arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of a stall, it can be advantageously mimed to a stable side, where - for example, one after the other - over the entire length of the frontally open end of a trough feces with the Kotschieber is transported to the outside. For this purpose, a collecting container can be placed under such an end in order to avoid reworking, in particular picking up from the ground.

By compared to the stable length narrow width of a single manure bucket and the use of a wheelbarrow or tipping bucket is possible as a collecting container, in which feces can be transported directly from the manure bucket. In any case, due to the inventive design of a Kotabfördereinrichtung means Kotwannen with a Kotschieber the Entmisten significantly easier because eliminates operations and / or simple tools can be used.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the stall is mobile, so designed to be movable or sliding. For this purpose, the stable has a landing gear Means for active or passive locomotion, such as wheels, runners, o. Ä. On. For example, the mobile stall may be designed as a trailer with at least one axle and a drawbar in order to be attached to a towing vehicle, in particular a tractor. Of course, it is also conceivable to build the barn on an existing trailer, which also according to the invention for the construction of the stall whose bottom by the length and number dimensioned, preferably rectangular in profile (U-shaped with right-angled straight sides) Kotwannen is formed.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the entire area of the troughs is not covered by a floor grid or a grate, so that a partial area, preferably on a side wall under the (laying) nests arranged there in some height, remains free, so that this open Area of the tubs serves as a scratching area. For this purpose, this area can be designed with straw, litter, sand, etc., whereby such a range is, according to experience, less likely to be sacrificed by the animals than, for example, the grid or the tub area below. Since the ammonia load in chicken droppings is very high, strongly poisoned areas must be more frequent, e.g. B. weekly, cleaned or sterilized. A removal of this Scharrbereiches can therefore be done in larger time intervals, so that the Kotschieber not necessarily have to extend into this area. Of course, it is also conceivable to clean this area by means of Kotschieber, the Kotschieber in the inserted state, this area, preferably the entire length of a respective Kotwanne, cover.

In a further embodiment of the invention store sidewalls (left and right side) with its lower edge at outer areas on the upper edges of the Kotwannen (or their ends). This can be increased in a simple manner, the stability of the house without additional constructions.

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims. The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing.

In the drawing show:

1 a schematic side view of a poultry house according to the invention along the section line BB 'in 2 ;

2 a schematic cross-sectional view of the section line AA 'in 1 ;

3 a schematic enlarged view of a detail C from 1 ;

4 an enlarged partial view of a poultry house after 1 and

5 a schematic enlarged view of a detail D from 4 ,

The in 1 illustrated poultry house 1 , in particular chicken coop, has a under the stable arranged undercarriage 3 on. This suspension 3 for example, consists of a frame 5 with a rear axle arranged therein 11 with wheels, as well as a trailer device in the form of a drawbar 7 , At this drawbar 7 can, as in 1 shown, a usually rotatable and adjustable in height support wheel 9 are located.

On the chassis 3 there is a floor of the stable 1 which consists of in profile substantially U-shaped, upwardly open, side by side arranged Kotwannen 13 is formed. The Kotwannen become the structure of a stable 1 according to the desired length of the house 1 in a corresponding number - preferably immediately adjacent to each other and parallel to each other - arranged. The desired width of the stable (preferably rectangular in its layout) 1 is determined by the length dimension of the tubs 13 achieved, with the tubs 13 are prefabricated accordingly or can be cut to length.

Since a certain maximum length of, for example, 4 m in a cost-effective production is not exceeded, larger lengths can also by nesting each two feces 13 be achieved. The Kotwannen 13 have in such a case at least end regions (overlapping areas), which can be inserted or pushed into one another due to their different dimensions in the profile.

About the preferably formed in profile perpendicular Kotwannen 15 is a grid 17 or rust, on which the animals, especially chickens, can move, with the resulting feces through the grid 17 through into the Kotwannen 15 falls.

How out 2 seen, the grid covers 17 Although the much larger floor area, but not the entire area, so preferably along a side wall 33 a strip without grid remains. In this area 40 can the directly accessible Kotwannen 15 be designed with straw, litter and / or sand, making this area 40 the Kotwannen 15 or their interior for the animals as Scharrbereich 40 serves.

Is this scratch area 40 , as in 2 represented below the (laying) nests 25 , which in some height above it on the inside of the side wall 33 are suspended, so this scratching area 40 (like the nests 25 ) to a lesser extent than the rest of the floor area with grid 17 verkotet.

In order to allow entry and exit of the animals, one or more corresponding openings are located in a side wall 19 , These openings 19 may have unspecified means (flaps, stem, etc.) to provide protection against the weather.

For stability reasons, the stable 1 have a plurality of vertical and / or horizontal, preferably four vertical supports, between which (or on which) side walls 33 . 37 and frontal walls 34 . 36 are arranged.

The side wall (towards drawbar 7 seen) left 33 , Sidewall right 35 , the front wall 34 and back wall 36 as well as the roof 31 can here (seen from the inside out) made of an internal chipboard, one or two arranged thereon layers of a dimpled film and / or an outer film to good thermal properties (heat storage effect) for a sufficiently good indoor climate - even at very low outdoor temperatures (frost ) - inside the stable 1 to ensure.

How out 2 it can be seen, when stall construction or in the stable production, a side wall both vertically (left side wall 33 ) as well as obliquely (right side wall 35 ) be erected or issued to a desired width of the house 1 to obtain.

The respective walls 33 . 34 . 35 . 36 can do this on their inside and / or outside on the roof 31 with a correspondingly bent angle 61 . 62 be attached. The angle 62 This can also be performed over the entire edge length as a cover to provide improved stability and / or better protection against the weather.

The walls can be at the bottom 33 . 34 . 35 . 36 at the Kotwannen 13 and / or on the frame 5 be fastened, for example by means of screw, welding or riveting. The walls 33 . 34 . 35 . 36 can reach the bottom of the Kotwannen 13 range, as in the case of the left sidewall 33 shown, and laterally to the Kotwannen 13 and / or the frame 5 be attached or on the upper edges of the tubs 13 supports.

In the case of a bearing, in particular an oblique side wall, as in 2 as right side wall 35 shown, the side walls can 33 . 35 with its lower edge at the upper (thigh) area of the Kotwannen 13 be attached by suitable means. As in 4 and 5 shown, for example, between two adjacent Kotwannen 13 a t-shaped carrier in profile 49 be arranged, which extends with its vertical region between two troughs and superimposed with its horizontal region on the upper edges of the tub.

The attachment of the vertical area of the carrier 49 (by means of the screw connection 51 ), how can 5 seen through two in the tubs 13 arranged support plates 53 be strengthened, allowing a deformation of the Kotwannen 13 by the load with the weight of the sidewall 35 is avoided.

At the horizontal area of the carrier 49 can about holes 55 or welding a correspondingly shaped, substantially L-shaped angle plate 57 be arranged to the bottom edge of the side wall 35 to fix.

To muck dung can from the Kotwannen using Kotschieber 15 be transported to the outside. The essentially ladder-shaped Kotschieber 15 have rake-like sprouts 47 on which transverse to the longitudinal direction of the Kotwannen 13 resting on the floor. Is the ladder-shaped Kotschieber manually over the handle 59 Pulled outwards, so the feces from the sprouts 47 or of their lying on the ground in the pulling direction seen front page 48 transported to the outside.

Here, the length of the Kotschiebers extends 15 every tub 13 at least until over the area of the grid 17 (Preferably in the form of multiple grid plates) covered area of Kotwannen 13 , How out 2 However, it is also conceivable that the or the Kotschieber 15 over the entire length of the Kotwannen 15 are formed so they also the scratching area 40 cover with.

The scratching area 40 This way, the same time as the pottery area of the tubs 13 be demineralized or cleaned.

In order to allow a particularly comfortable removal of mischief, a respective Kotschieber 15 at least one left and right side guide roller on its longitudinal sides 45 which are transverse to the longitudinal axis of the Kotschiebers and coaxial with the rungs 47 is rotatably mounted. These roles 47 are spaced from the bottom of the tub so that they only when inserting the Kotschiebers with a beveled base of a guide 39 get in touch. On this tour 39 become the roles 39 and thus this position of the Kotschiebers obliquely upwards until they reach the Achspunkt 41 and the other end of the guide 39 pass and again perpendicular to the bottom of the tub 13 fall behind.

This will be the Kotschieber 13 lifted during insertion (forward movement) at least at a longitudinal position, so that the Kotschieber 13 in a larger area due to the resulting skew with its sprouts 47 from the bottom of the tub 13 takes off. In the backward movement (pulling out) is the Kotschieber 13 with his sprouts 47 (At least with a lower edge of a front or front side 48 ) on the other hand at the bottom of the tub 13 and conveys the feces lying there at least one piece (the offset due to the length of the leadership) to the outside. This pushes the role 45 in contact with the bottom of the guide 39 this up (pivoting movement about axis 41 ), until the foot point 43 is exceeded and the guide returns to the bottom of the tub 13 falling back. From this point, which is perceived by a significant noise from an operator, a further forward movement, as described above, can be started.

By continuing these movements, the feces are each forwarded a distance to the outside, so that in this way the feces is conveyed out by repeated forward / backward sliding of the Kotschiebers to the outside without the Kotschieber must be pulled out in its entire length. As a result, the comfort increases during mucking, in particular, the necessary effort is reduced.
