Description

DISPOSITIF POUR EVACUER LES LITIERES USAGEES DANS LES BOXES D 'ANIMAUX DEVICE FOR DRAINING LITTERS USED IN ANIMAL BOXES
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour évacuer les litières usagées (paille, copeaux, etc...), dans les boxes d'animaux (le mélange fermenté des litières et des déjections porte communément le nom de "fumier" et peut être utilisé comme engrais). Le dispositif correspond au besoin des établissements hébergeant des animaux, en particulier dans le domaine équestre : écuries de loisirs, sport ou élevage. Le mot anglais "box" désigne le compartiment cloisonné, avec ou sans porte, occupé par un seul cheval, dans une écurie.The present invention relates to a device for evacuating used litter (straw, shavings, etc.) in animal boxes (the fermented mixture of litter and excrement commonly bears the name of "manure" and can be used as fertilizer). The system corresponds to the needs of establishments housing animals, in particular in the equestrian field: leisure stables, sport or breeding. The English word "box" designates the partitioned compartment, with or without door, occupied by a single horse, in a stable.
En général, les boxes sont exigus, c'est à dire d'une surface de quelques mètres carrés avec une hauteur sous plafond réduite, et d'accès difficile, car l'entrée est relativement étroite pour le passage d'un engin. Le ramassage des litières de ces boxes est traditionnellement effectué manuellement à l'aide de fourche, pelle et brouette, avec les inconvénients qui en découlent : temps passé et fatigue considérables.In general, boxes are cramped, that is to say an area of a few square meters with a reduced ceiling height, and difficult to access, because the entrance is relatively narrow for the passage of a machine. The litter collection from these boxes is traditionally carried out manually using a fork, shovel and wheelbarrow, with the resulting drawbacks: time spent and considerable fatigue.
Il existe aussi un mode de ramassage moderne, mécanique, par l'intermédiaire de trappes, convoyeurs de collectage, etc..., qui entraîne en plus du très lourd investissement de base, un complément important pour la mise en oeuvre et la maintenance.There is also a modern, mechanical collection method, through hatches, collection conveyors, etc., which entails, in addition to the very heavy basic investment, an important supplement for implementation and maintenance.
Une deuxième façon de ramassage moderne, mécanique, voit le jour, avec des engins motorisés plus ou moins compacts et multifonctions, mais dont les compétences sont mal adaptées à l'exigϋité de l'intérieur du box. D'une part, les manoeuvres et le chargement y sont souvent impossibles sans un ouvrier supplémentaire, et d'autre part, ces engins utilisés ainsi, circulant dans les boxes mêmes, présentent des risques non négligeables de dégradations des parois, cloisons et éventuelles portes des différents boxes. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il comporte en effet, selon une première caractéristique, une bâche sur laquelle est disposée en permanence la litière de l'animal, pourvue sur son pourtour d'oeillets renforcés et équipés de mousquetons, qui permettent de l'accrocher à une élingue reliée à une potence.A second modern, mechanical collection method is emerging, with more or less compact and multifunctional motorized vehicles, but whose skills are ill-suited to the exiguity of the interior of the box. On the one hand, the maneuvers and loading are often impossible without an additional worker, and on the other hand, these machines used thus, circulating in the boxes themselves, present significant risks of damage to the walls, partitions and possible doors. different boxes. The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It has in fact, according to a first characteristic, a tarpaulin on which the animal's litter is permanently placed, provided around its periphery with reinforced eyelets and equipped with carabiners, which allow it to be hung on a sling connected to a gallows.
**
Cette élingue est pourvue d'anneaux coulissants, sur lesquels s'accrochent les mousquetons de la bâche ; elle permet grâce à un treuil de tirer et soulever la bâche entourant la charge, vers la façade du box. Ainsi quand l'utilisateur, par un levier de commande, enroule l'élingue sur le treuil, il commence à évacuer sans fatigue, en une seule fois et avec une finition exemplaire du nettoyage la litière maintenue à l'intérieur de la bâche, qui forme alors un sac.This sling is provided with sliding rings, on which hang the snap hooks; it allows thanks to a winch to pull and lift the tarpaulin surrounding the load, towards the front of the box. So when the user, by a control lever, rolls up the sling on the winch, he begins to evacuate without fatigue, in one go and with an exemplary finish of cleaning the litter kept inside the tarpaulin, which then forms a bag.
Cette potence est montée sur un engin chargeur qui reste stationné à l'extérieur et juste devant le box, ainsi l'utilisateur n'a pas à effectuer de manoeuvres délicates, à 1'intérieur du box, avec 1'engin chargeur. La potence est pivotante, ainsi l'utilisateur peut d'abord orienter sa flèche vers le centre de la litière, pour l'accrochage de la bâche, puis en fin de manoeuvre la remettre dans l'axe et sur la pelle de l'engin chargeur, avant de transporter le sac formé par la bâche entourant la litière. Tout ceci est donc effectué sans qu'il soit utile d'envisager un aménagement particulier ou un agencement spécial des boxes par rapport à l'aire de stockage du fumier.This bracket is mounted on a loader which remains parked outside and just in front of the box, so the user does not have to carry out delicate maneuvers, inside the box, with the loader. The bracket is pivoting, so the user can first orient his arrow towards the center of the litter, for hanging the tarpaulin, then at the end of the maneuver put it back in the axis and on the shovel of the machine charger, before transporting the bag formed by the tarpaulin surrounding the litter. All this is therefore done without it being useful to envisage a particular arrangement or a special arrangement of the boxes in relation to the manure storage area.
Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation :According to particular embodiments:
- La bâche peut être fixée au sol du box. - L'élingue peut être dédoublée, constituée de deux câbles ayant un point fixe sur la flèche de la potence et reliés alors à deux treuils indépendants.- The tarpaulin can be fixed to the floor of the box. - The sling can be split, consisting of two cables having a fixed point on the jib boom and then connected to two independent winches.
- La potence peut être fixée sur un des quatre côtés de 1'engin chargeur. - La potence peut comporter un vérin destiné à régler la hauteur de 1'extrémité de sa flèche dans le sens vertical. Les dessins annexés illustrent 1'invention :- The bracket can be fixed on one of the four sides of the loader. - The bracket may include a jack intended to adjust the height of the end of its arrow in the vertical direction. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
La figure 1 représente vue de profil, le dispositif selon l'invention.Figure 1 shows a side view, the device according to the invention.

La figure 3 représente vue de profil, une variante de ce dispositif.Figure 3 shows a side view, a variant of this device.
La figure 4 représente vue de haut, une variante de ce dispositif. Les figures 5, 6, 7 et 8 en représentent des détails.Figure 4 shows a top view, a variant of this device. Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 show details.
En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte une bâche (1) présentant un pourtour muni d'oeillets (2) renforcés, équipés de mousquetons (3), sur laquelle est placée la litière (4). Ces mousquetons (3) s'accrochent aux anneaux (5) coulissants d'une élingue (6) ayant un trajet correspondant au périmètre de la bâche (1) et dont les deux extrémités sont reliées à un treuil (7) par une potence (8) pivotante, comportant une flèche (9) équipée de deux poulies (10) orientables automatiquement dans la direction de l'effort supporté par l'élingue (6). Cette potence (8) est fixée sur le toit de la cabine d'un engin chargeur (11).With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a tarpaulin (1) having a periphery provided with reinforced eyelets (2), equipped with snap hooks (3), on which the litter (4) is placed. These carabiners (3) hang on the sliding rings (5) of a sling (6) having a path corresponding to the perimeter of the tarpaulin (1) and the two ends of which are connected to a winch (7) by a bracket ( 8) pivoting, comprising an arrow (9) equipped with two pulleys (10) which can be automatically oriented in the direction of the force supported by the sling (6). This bracket (8) is fixed to the roof of the cabin of a loader (11).
La bâche (1) est en matière appropriée, c'est à dire d'une résistance maximum d'une part à 1'usure engendrée par les frottements sur le sol bétonné (ou autre revêtement), d'autre part aux effets de cisaillements dus au piétinement des animaux dans leurs boxes, et enfin, résistante également aux effets chimiques des fermentations des déjections. Elle est disposée sur le sol et recouverte en permanence par la litière (4) normale (celle-ci assurant une certaine protection de la bâche (1) contre les agressions des sabots ferrés). L'engin chargeur (11), de préférence automoteur (matériel standard avec accessoires), est plus ou moins compact en fonction des installations, il est choisi pour sa bonne manoeuvrabilité ; il est présenté par l'utilisateur en façade extérieure du box, la flèche (9) de la potence (8) pivotante orientée vers le centre de la bâche (1). 'élingue (6) a une longueur suffisante pour que l'utilisateur accroche à ses anneaux (5) coulissants les mousquetons (3) qui équipent les oeillets (2) renforcés de la bâche (1). Le treuil (7), auquel sont raccordées les deux extrémités de 1'élingue (6) par la potence (8) pivotante et sa flèche (9) permet de provoquer le relevage et la traction de la bâche (1) entourant la litière (4), au fur et à mesure vers la sortie du box, et tend à donner une forme de sac à la charge. La résistance au sol de la charge et les frottements contre les parois environnantes participent en guidant la manoeuvre. La position de la potence (8) est telle que sa commande permet à l'utilisateur pour finir la manoeuvre, en conjuguant le mouvement de rotation de la flèche (9) au recul de 1'engin chargeur (11), de faire sortir la charge du box, et de la mettre en place frontalement, sur la pelle du dit engin chargeur (11). Le transport, vers l'aire de stockage, est effectué ensuite, pelle légèrement surélevée et potence (8) bloquée. La bâche (1) y est désélinguée partiellement et vidée simplement sur le tas, par relevage maximum d'un de ses côtés, jusqu'à ce qu'elle pende verticalement, toute la litière (1) se déversant par gravité. Il est fait autant de trajets boxes/aire de stockage, aller et retour, qu'il y a de boxes à nettoyer. La bâche (1) vidée peut être lavée avant d'être remise en place manuellement.The cover (1) is made of suitable material, that is to say of a maximum resistance on the one hand to the wear and tear generated by friction on the concrete floor (or other coating), on the other hand to the effects of shearing due to the trampling of animals in their boxes, and finally, also resistant to the chemical effects of fermentations of excrement. It is placed on the ground and permanently covered by the normal litter (4) (this ensuring a certain protection of the tarpaulin (1) against attacks by shoeing shoes). The loader (11), preferably self-propelled (standard equipment with accessories), is more or less compact depending on the installations, it is chosen for its good maneuverability; it is presented by the user on the outside of the box, the arrow (9) of the pivoting bracket (8) oriented towards the center of the cover (1). 'sling (6) has a sufficient length for the user to hang on his sliding rings (5) the carabiners (3) which equip the eyelets (2) reinforced with the tarpaulin (1). The winch (7), to which the two ends of the sling (6) are connected by the pivoting bracket (8) and its arrow (9) makes it possible to raise and pull the tarpaulin (1) surrounding the litter (4 ), gradually towards the exit of the box, and tends to give a form of bag to the load. The resistance to the ground of the load and the friction against the surrounding walls participate in guiding the maneuver. The position of the bracket (8) is such that its control allows the user to finish the maneuver, by combining the rotational movement of the arrow (9) with the retraction of the loader (11), to bring out the load the box, and put it in front, on the shovel of said loader (11). Transport to the storage area is then carried out, shovel slightly raised and stem (8) blocked. The tarpaulin (1) is partially de-slinged there and simply emptied onto the pile, by lifting up one of its sides as much as possible, until it hangs vertically, all the litter (1) discharging by gravity. There are as many box / storage area trips, there and back, as there are boxes to clean. The empty tarpaulin (1) can be washed before being replaced manually.
Dans la forme de réalisation selon les figures 3 et 4 :In the embodiment according to Figures 3 and 4:
La bâche (1) est d'une surface légèrement supérieure à celle du box, ce qui permet de la maintenir en place, en la relevant de quelques centimètres et en la fixant à des anneaux scellés (12) aux quatre parois verticales, par les mousquetons (3) qui équipent ses oeillets (2).The tarpaulin (1) has a surface slightly larger than that of the box, which allows it to be held in place, by raising it a few centimeters and fixing it to sealed rings (12) with four vertical walls, by the carabiners (3) which equip its eyelets (2).
L'élingue (6) est dédoublée, chacune des deux élingues (6A) (6B) ayant un point fixe (13) sur la flèche (9) de la potence (8). Elles sont reliées à deux treuils (7A) (7B) indépendants qui peuvent être actionnés à demande tour à tour afin de tirer et lever la charge en la recentrant par rapport à la sortie, afin de limiter le porte à faux.The sling (6) is split, each of the two slings (6A) (6B) having a fixed point (13) on the arrow (9) of the bracket (8). They are connected to two independent winches (7A) (7B) which can be actuated on request in turn in order to pull and lift the load by refocusing it relative to the outlet, in order to limit the overhang.
Selon une variante non illustrée, la potence (8) pivotante est fixée à un autre endroit que sur le toit de la cabine de l'engin chargeur (11), c'est à dire sur un de ses quatre côtés, compte tenu de la configuration de l'engin chargeur et de ses capacités de manoeuvres spécifiques. Encore selon une variante non illustrée, la potence pivotante est équipée d'un vérin destiné à régler la flèche (9) dans le sens vertical, afin de tirer et soulever davantage la charge, lorsque la hauteur sous plafond le permet, et également de réduire le porte à faux en rapprochant au maximum la charge du centre de gravité de l'engin chargeur (11) pendant le transport.According to a variant not illustrated, the pivoting bracket (8) is fixed at a location other than on the roof of the cabin of the loader (11), that is to say on one of its four sides, taking into account the configuration of the loader and its specific maneuvering capacities. Still according to a variant not illustrated, the pivoting jib is equipped with a jack intended to adjust the boom (9) in the vertical direction, in order to pull and lift the load more, when the height under the ceiling allows it, and also to reduce the overhang by bringing the load as close as possible to the center of gravity of the loader (11) during transport.
A titre d'exemples non limitatifs, la bâche aura des dimensions de 1'ordre de 3 m x 3 m (dimensions d'un box standard), l'élingue une longueur de l'ordre de 12 m, la potence pivotante aura une flèche d'une longueur de 1'ordre de 1,10 m et 1'engin chargeur des dimensions de 1'ordre de 1,20 m pour la largeur (avec pelle), 2,50 m pour la longueur (avec pelle) et 2,30 m pour la hauteur (avec potence).By way of nonlimiting examples, the sheet will have dimensions of the order of 3 mx 3 m (dimensions of a standard box), the sling a length of the order of 12 m, the pivoting jib will have an arrow with a length of around 1.10 m and the loading machine dimensions of around 1.20 m for the width (with shovel), 2.50 m for the length (with shovel) and 2 , 30 m for the height (with jib).
Le dispositif selon l'invention est destiné à 1'évacuation des litières usagées des grands animaux vivant en boxes. Particulièrement l'évacuation du fumier des boxes des chevaux, dans les établissements de loisirs, de sport ou d'élevage. The device according to the invention is intended for the removal of used litter from large animals living in boxes. Particularly the evacuation of manure from horse boxes, in leisure, sport or breeding establishments.
