Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a mat for livestock barns, which is used for laying on the floor of cowsheds, pigpens, etc.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY In cowsheds, pig pens, and especially cow pens, instead of the conventional sandbox, straw is spread on a concrete floor, and partitions are provided to house and raise pigs one at a time. However, bedding tends to become dirty due to being covered with human waste and the like, and requires frequent replacement, which is putting pressure on dairy farm management due to the rise in bedding prices. To improve this point, a thickness of 10
In order to reduce the amount of litter, rubber mats with a diameter of about mm are laid down.

Problems that the invention aims to solve: However, the rubber mats mentioned above are uncomfortable, transfer the temperature directly from the concrete floor, are cold in winter, are relatively hard, and have slippery surfaces when wet. Handling is also not good.
The inventor completed the present invention after conducting various studies on a new mat that does not have the drawbacks of rubber mats.

Means for Solving the Problems The mat for livestock barns according to the present invention has a drying fiber sheet surface layer, a flexible synthetic resin intermediate layer, and synthetic resin filaments with a filament diameter of 0.3 to 2.0 mm intertwined three-dimensionally to form a net-like structure. It is characterized by comprising an elastic network base layer which is molded to have a porosity of 85 to 98% and a thickness of 5 mm or more.

An embodiment of the livestock barn pine according to the present invention will be explained based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the pine.
The mat is composed of a dry fiber sheet surface layer 1, a flexible synthetic resin layer 2, and an elastic network base layer 4 formed by three-dimensionally entangling synthetic resin filaments 3 to form a network.

The drying fiber sheet surface layer 1 is made of a nonwoven fabric made of polyester fibers with a thickness of about 2.5 mm with poor water retention, and has a surface that dries easily even if it gets wet and is hard to slip. This fiber sheet is not limited to the above-mentioned polyester nonwoven fabric, but may be made of a durable, easy-drying, and non-slip fiber material. next,
The flexible synthetic resin layer 2 binds the fiber sheet and the elastic network and also provides water impermeability to the mat, and has a thickness of about 2 to 5 mm and is made of semi-hard or soft synthetic resin. Therefore, vinyl chloride resin is preferably used, and the upper filaments of the elastic network are embedded in the resin layer to form a strong bond. The elastic network base layer 4 has a filament diameter of 0.3
~2.0 mm synthetic resin filaments 3 are three-dimensionally intertwined to form a net-like body with a porosity of 85 to 98% and a thickness of approximately 5 to 35 mm. Polyamide is preferably used as the synthetic resin, and the filament The diameter is preferably 0.3 mm or more in order to maintain the rigidity and elasticity of the net-like body, and the porosity and base layer thickness of the net-like body need to be around the above values in order to maintain the necessary elasticity and lightness. There is.

The invented mat, which has a three-layer structure, takes advantage of the flexibility of the mat to be rolled up and transported to the construction site, and then spread on the concrete floor of the cow shed or pig pen and fixed as appropriate to prevent it from moving. It is installed and used.

Effects of the invention Since the livestock barn mat according to the invention has the above-mentioned three-layer structure, moisture is blocked by the synthetic resin intermediate layer, and the fiber sheet on the surface dries easily, so that the proliferation of bacteria is suppressed. The surface is also non-slip,
In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the hoof sinks somewhat due to the load applied to the hoof, so the footing is stable when the cow wakes up, which is particularly advantageous for cows with weak legs. The mesh base layer maintains an air layer between it and the concrete floor, exhibiting excellent heat insulation and heat retention effects, and is especially effective in winter.
Also, due to its special surface layer and elasticity, litter can be significantly reduced or even eliminated.
It is possible to significantly reduce the amount of work and costs.

Secondly, the mat of the present invention is made of synthetic polymer material and is easy to clean and disinfect, and feces and straw can be easily scraped out and cleaned with washing water.

The livestock barn mat of this invention maintains a comfortable floor environment for cows, increases the milk yield of dairy cows, is good for fattening pigs, is strong and durable, is lightweight, and has good construction properties. It can be said to be a very good idea.
