Description

DESCRIPTION

SLURRY PIT

The present invention, as its title indicates, refers to a pit that runs longitudinally through a farm, with a section designed with a special geometry, inspired by a "V". The slurry pit is built under the floor of the row of pens, covered with a grid, divided into sections and each section equipped with a slurry outlet.The slurry outlet flow is activated by the force of gravity, without the need to use water.

Background of the invention

In the state of the art, there are numerous antecedents that refer to slurry collectors on farms and, above all, to their cleaning and slurry extraction. Most of them closely linked to the use of pressurized water for their extraction. This action increases the volume of contaminated material and with it, the difficulty and extra cost of recycling this waste.

Document ES-0179524 refers to a slurry collector that has an evacuation channel on which a combined slab system is superimposed to allow slurry to fall and prevent damage or access from the snout of the young.

Document ES2239524 refers to an installation procedure for slurry treatment in which pressurized water is used to remove slurry from the farm pit.

Document ES1062761 refers to a scraper for collecting slurry through the use of shovels activated by mechanical means that push the slurry.

The invention presented in this document also refers to a slurry collection pit, but in this case, thanks to the special geometry of its profile, the arrangement and configuration of the extraction channels provides an efficient collection and discharge of slurry. from the farm without the need to use water or other complex mechanical means to do so. A solution that considerably reduces the volume of polluting material and the costs of an animal breeding and fattening facility.

Description of the invention

The slurry pit is described as a longitudinal channel that runs through the entire building designed for animal breeding and/or fattening, built under a row of pens and having a section with a geometry inspired by a "V"

The novelty of the invention focuses on this section of the slurry pit inspired by a "V" and is made up of two side walls with an angle of inclination that ranges between 30° and 70° and with both walls meeting at their bottom, at one point.

This profile inspired by a "V" could have a variant where the meeting of the side walls is on a flat surface.

This slurry pit, as already mentioned, runs longitudinally throughout the length of the warehouse designed for breeding and/or fattening animals. It is built under the pens and one pit per pen or several pits per pen can be built. If there are two pits per pen, for example, the depth of the pits is less than if there is only one pit. The reason is that if we build a single pit, the width is greater and this influences the depth since the length of the side walls is greater.

The pit is covered with a grid, made mainly of concrete, although other polymeric materials could be used, and with a design that allows the passage of manure into the pit, but does not damage the animal's hooves.

This pit is closed at each of its ends by a gate at the beginning of the pit and divided into sections of variable length marked by a pit partition gate with a spillway. The spillway means that it is lower than the starting gate to allow the passage of slurry in the event of the section being filled. The shape of these gates is a "V" plate that copies the section of the pit.

These sections have a slurry outlet approximately in the center of the section. This slurry outlet is a hole made at the vertex or base of the "V" and that connects with a downpipe. This downpipe connects with an underground conduit with a slight slope that channels the slurry towards a drain outside the building. .

The sections mentioned in the previous section allow the pit to be built with a slight slope towards the slurry outlet downspouts.

The flow of slurry from the pit to the drain is activated by the combination of gravity, the accumulation of slurry and the "V" section of the pit under the pens.

The pit is built mainly in concrete, although modular construction in polymeric materials is not ruled out. This pit can be built above ground or underground.

All information referring to examples or embodiments forms part of the description of the invention.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

To better understand the invention, Figure 1 shows the section of the slurry pit (1), and its characteristic geometry that is inspired by a "V". The side walls (2) have an inclination that ranges between 30°- 70° with respect to the horizontal and converge at a point (3) at the bottom.This point (3), depending on the characteristics of the farm, can be a flat horizontal surface. This slurry pit has this characteristic shape to allow the slurry to accumulate on a reduced surface and for the action of gravity to activate the flow of slurry to the outside of the farm. This reduces the use of water to clean the slurry pit and, in addition, the volume of polluting matter.

Figure number 2, in addition to the section of the manure pit (1), shows us a front view of the grid (4) with a design that allows the passage of manure and does not damage the animal's hooves. It also shows us how the grid (4) rests on the slurry pit (1).

Figure 3 shows us a front and plan view of the partition gate (5) fitted in the slurry pit (1). This partition gate (5) divides the slurry pit (I) that runs lengthwise through the nave into sections. In order to prevent the section from having problems of discharge of manure and overflowing through the grid (4) in exceptional cases, this partition gate (5) is shorter in section than the manure pit (1) and does not manage to close the partition, leaving a hole that would act as an overflow.

In figure 4 another section of the slurry pit (1) and in this case it is to show what the start-end gate (6) looks like in front and plan view. This start-end gate does fit and completely close the slurry pit (1). It is placed at the ends of the slurry pit (1) as closure gates.

Figure 5 shows us a section of the building designed for animal breeding and/or fattening ( I I ), where it can be seen how the slurry pits buried under the rows of pens (7) are arranged. In this drawing you can see two per corral row (7) but one per corral row (7) could also be built. If there is one, the width and depth of the slurry pit (1) would be greater. Also shown in the section is the slurry outlet (8), which consists of a hole made at the base of the slurry pit (1) that connects to a downspout. Said downspout leads into an underground conduit (9) with a slight slope that leads the flow of slurry to the outside of the farm to a well (10) that connects with the main slurry outlet route.

Finally, figure 6 shows us a plan view of the building designed for animal breeding and/or fattening (11), where the manure pits (1) stand out to understand the division into sections, separated by the grating gates. partition (5). Each section has at least one slurry outlet (8) an underground conduit (9) that collects the slurry from and leads the flow to a well (10) equipped with outlet flow regulation means that connects with the main slurry outlet route.

The person skilled in the art will easily understand that he can combine features of different embodiments with features of other possible embodiments, provided that such a combination is technically possible.
