Description

in DK 175242 B1

The present invention relates to a method of furnishing an animal shed with animal paths, including in particular an animal shed, wherein a drainage system is provided below the floor level of the animals. In addition, the invention also relates to an element for the construction of a housing device for use in accordance with the new method of housing the housing.

5 In livestock stables, including especially pig stables, the stables are typically constructed by casting plinths in connection with the base plate, where later channel elements for slurry ducts are to be placed. Then, a floor is optionally cast with a fall towards the manure channel or alternatively a drainage chamber with associated manure plugs 10 is established, after which the actual floor on which the animals are placed is arranged above this floor. This floor is often a slit or lattice grid, so that the manure and slurry from the animals can pass through the floor for later collection in the slurry channel, and through this are passed on to the manure and slurry collection respectively.

15 The walls of the slurry channel are often cast in situ, which involves a great deal of formwork. Alternatively, the slurry channel may be made of prefabricated concrete or fiber-concrete elements or lined with concrete blocks. When the slurry channel has been constructed and, if necessary, after the curing time is completed, the slurry bottom is cast with a fall towards the slurry channel just constructed. The floor on which the animals are to be moved is then established 20 e.g. by hanging in walls located on the slats for the slurry ducts. Thereafter, traditional barn furniture can be used in the usual way.

The traditional housing construction method is relatively costly in that even though prefabricated slurry elements are used, some manual work remains, as well as the traditionally molded structures have little flexibility and that it can be extremely difficult to access the slurry in case of repair or similar.

Thus, there is a need for a more flexible and rapid housing arrangement system which, in addition to accommodating a flexible structure as well as the possibilities of being able to change the facility, also meets the hygienic and working environment requirements for a modern housing facility.

In the invention, this is achieved by providing a method for arranging an I

In a storeroom, as mentioned above, wherein the method comprises that there on top of a ter- I

Pre-fabricated partition elements are arranged in grooves or a slurry channel floor.

Hereby, a very flexible system is provided in that the wick partitions are combined.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention are installations such as valve I

In a further preferred embodiment, the partition elements are secured with bracket I

In res so that it will at all times meet the requirements that may be set for the size of the path and the number of paths I

3 GB 175242 B1 etc. Furthermore, by performing a waterproof seal between the partition element and the terrain deck / slurry channel floor, any contamination can be spread to other paths, e.g. in that the slurry seeps from a slurry channel under one path through / below the partition element and into another path.

5 Compared to the traditional housing structure where the slurry channels are molded, a much more flexible structure is thus obtained.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the transverse supports are secured by means of brackets to the partitions, thereby stabilizing the partitions.

Thus, by carrying out the ends of the transverse supports and the associated points of attachment to the partitions, so that the partitions at the connection with the transverses constitute a stabilizing joint, the flexibility of the structure is assured, no further measures are required in connection with the stability of the stables and at the same time resource consumption in connection with the preparation of living room furniture.

For example, the crossbars be positioned on repos-like devices, optionally pre-applied to the partition elements or bolted directly to the partition elements. Alternatively, holes may be provided in the separator elements for depositing the drawers. In a further embodiment of the invention, floor elements and carriers may be an integral element. This is particularly interesting where elements made of concrete and / or plastic are used. 1 2 3 4 5 6 In a further preferred embodiment, the partition bracket fasteners 2 to the bottom are integrated with the transverse bracket fasteners and the bracket can optionally be integrated into the partition element. This embodiment is particularly interesting in that the same bracket is used for the transverse supports as for securing the partitions.

This reduces part of the load on the partition element itself, which means that these 6, in addition to being self-supporting and possibly dimensioned to carry other stables, do not have to absorb the full load from the cross supports, but that these can be carried to the floor via the fittings. For the sake of the corrosion problem in the slurry duct, the bracket may be integrated into the partition element, which thus acts as a kind of

In a further preferred embodiment, the prefabricated partitions are I

In yet another preferred embodiment of the method of the invention, I

In the stable room a large vessel is established by erecting partition elements along the exterior

In dividing elements, similar to the style building, that transverse supports are established between I

the substantially parallel partitions at a height immediately below the desired floor height that I

5 DK 175242 B1, on top of the transverse columns, split floor elements and / or rice floor elements and / or floor elements are installed, so that path boundaries are installed on the floor perpendicular to the largely parallel partitions. This embodiment is particularly interesting in the renovation of existing stables, as the stove space is thereby completely cleared for furnishings, after which a largely waterproof vessel is built from the bottom, after which the stables are established as described above. It is thus possible to incorporate the very flexible principles of the present invention into an already existing barn building.

10 In order to accommodate all the desirability requirements, the method according to the invention is further expanded to include other elements such as lattice doors and lattice elements, whereby the partition elements are prepared for assembly with these other elements, such as lattice doors, lattice elements and feeders, etc.

In order to reduce the odors in the living room, in a further preferred embodiment, a hopper element is provided which has means for retaining against partition elements, e.g. by screwing, gluing, welding or for deposition on transverse or secondary supports, and wherein the hopper element is formed with a fall towards an opening, which opening has an area which is substantially smaller than the area of the hopper element.

20

Thus, the hopper element covers a predominant part of the floor surface, whereby the vapors, mainly ammonia vapors, are prevented from reaching the living room. To further limit the odors, access to the outdoors can either be created, whereby the overpressure in the barn will force out the vapors or ventilation under the floor and hopper element level can be established. The ventilation can be coupled with an odor removal system, so that no significant odor nuisance will be present in the surroundings of the barn.

The invention also relates to an element for the construction of a housing device according to a method as described above, wherein the element consists of two or more artificial shell shells. The plastic shells are constructed with a relatively flat and smooth front, which is provided with a cellular structure on the back. The cell structure is e.g. made of plasticWalls perpendicular to the back of the plane. The walls are arranged so that they intersect substantially perpendicular to each other. Hereby a large number of cells are formed which

In the finished element, assemble by assembling two synthetic shells so that the shells are provided

By thus constructing the element of plastic, the weight of the elements can be kept I

In addition, the plastic shells may be of such material as to obtain a great deal of I

I Before assembling the element, reinforcements can be arranged for mounting the element, or I

The system as described above is particularly distinguished by the fact that the housing device can be mounted relatively quickly with great flexibility. As the floors are established by hanging / laying preformed elements on / in preformed means, several workflows are saved, as floor elements can be accommodated for repair and maintenance, without major intervention in the other structure of the stable. Thus, the separator elements are also plinth and slurry duct elements.

Living rooms of that type. The above described is often constructed by having a flat floor and one or more manure plugs built into the floor. The manure plug is connected to a sewage system in which vacuum is created, e.g. by a pump, so that the manure and the other fertilizer can be fed from the storage room and on to the manure tank, respectively the manure. In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, a suitable number of elements are assembled into a cassette which is then placed over a manure plug. This means that the animal manure placed in the paths arranged within the cassette constraint will be collected within the cassette and discharged via the manure plug.

In other embodiments of the invention, it may be desirable to arrange a system of steel legs which is mounted on the bottom of the slurry and between which elements 20 are arranged as described above for defining the paths. This results in the steel legs stabilizing the structure while the elements define the slurry channels.

In stables of the type mentioned above, where a slurry duct is arranged immediately under a rice floor element, there may be large odor nuisances from the slurry. In a further embodiment, the invention provides that these odor genes are minimized by providing one or more obliquely arranged funnel elements between the floor and slurry surface. The funnel elements serve to decrease the effective evaporation surface so that the odor genes in the space above this funnel-shaped element are significantly reduced. 1 In one embodiment, the member may be suspended in the drawers spaced between two substantially parallel partitions, between two parallel secondary drawers or as one large member attached to the substantially parallel partitions. By thus reducing the area of the free connection between the slurry surface and the space above

5 In FIG. 5, some conventional housing furniture in the form of grids 11 and for example feed dispensers 12 is inserted. The grids may be adapted to the system dimensions of the prefabricated separator elements, so that, as shown in the figure, there may be paths separated by partially prefabricated separators or system grids 11. Furthermore, the grids 11 have a design such that recesses are introduced, whereby feed dispensers 12 adapted to the prefabricated separation system can be fitted as part of the partition.

A raised platform 13 is shown arranged at a height above the floor. This platform can be used in pig stables to give the piglets a free zone where the sow cannot reach them or a cave where the piglets can reside. Heating plates may be arranged on the underside of the platform or in the floor, keeping the piglets warm. In order to be able to mount the platform, in the prefabricated partition elements, fasteners for transverse supports may be provided at a level other than the floor level, which provides a great deal of flexibility.

Thus, the bottom of the barn 5 forms the bottom of the slurry / manure vessel, which is why it is not necessary to produce a separate slurry channel 4 as in the traditional housing construction. Directly on top of the bottom, prefabricated 5 partition elements 6, 7 are arranged according to the invention. The elements can be waterproofed against the 6 bottom 5 and the walls 3,4.

1 FIG. 10 is illustrated a part of a feeding system integrated in a wall element 6.7. The wall elements are joined together, e.g. by welding, so that a rigid, coherent element is formed throughout the width, the respective length of the path. The wall is suspended either in wall elements arranged perpendicular to the feed wall or in a steel structure thereto. Underneath the wall element with the integrated feeding system 24 is arranged a crib 25, where the feed conveyed through the system 24 will be distributed via distributor devices 26.

Thus, with a system according to the invention, it is possible to flexibly build a housing device that meets the requirements for hygiene, and the flexibility allows relatively easy access to installations that may be stored under the floor, and that cleaning of manure / manure ducts can be easily carried out. .g. by removing parts of the floor 10. In addition, the elements of which the prefabricated partitions are erected are of such a nature that they can act as both partitions in the slurry channel and partitions in the path. Added to this is the highly flexible structure with fixed partition elements, grid parts and feeding units 12, all of which can be adapted to the standard dimensions of the prefabricated partition elements. Alternatively, due to the structure of the separator elements, with simple means recesses can be created in the separator elements, without thereby losing their integrity.
