Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a rotary livestock breeding equipment that allows a large number of livestock such as dairy cows to be raised simultaneously in a livestock shed.

[Prior Art] Dairy cows are generally raised on pasture, and at the time of milking, the cows are led into a milking room in a barn to perform the milking operation. However, grazing is not only labor-intensive;
Because it involves a certain degree of risk, it is desirable to be able to feed and milk cows without having to keep them in a barn, especially in cases where dairy cows have to be kept in relatively small areas such as in Japan. It is rare.

Based on such demands, the present inventor has been developing rotary livestock housing equipment. This type of equipment has multiple stalls with enough space to raise cows on a turntable, and a milking stage and feed supply stage are arranged in the direction of rotation of the turntable, and milking and feeding are performed. The turntable is rotated intermittently during the process.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-mentioned prior art developed by the present inventor, is it desirable to keep the area above and around the tantebuno L clean? Therefore, it is a difficult task to move the livestock out of the barn.

For example, a dairy cow has 1[-1 and 2 L. 1. In order to eat around 4 kg of feed, the amount of manure excreted by the dozens of cows on the turntable is considerable, and it is difficult to rely on humans to clean up such a large amount of manure. It requires a lot of effort.

Therefore, the first object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems.
To provide a rotary livestock breeding equipment capable of automatically removing manure excreted from livestock on a turntable-1.

[The rotary livestock breeding equipment of the present invention, which was proposed in order to achieve the objective of 1,000 steps to solve the problem, has a plurality of livestock stalls partitioned in the circumferential direction, each with a A rotatable circular turntable capable of loading livestock one by one into a stall; a drive unit for rotating the turntable once; A human waste tank installed in the tank, and a manure takeout line connected to this human waste tank. A floor in the shape of a locus that can be dropped into the above-mentioned urinary cabinet {4, and the above-mentioned turntable l''! 1 tithe per turn]-r A scraper that feeds manure into a manure outlet by moving relative to the bed material or human waste tank. It is.

[Function] In the equipment of the present invention, the manure excreted by the livestock on the turntable 7 passes through the L-shaped flooring material and falls into the manure hut. Then, when the turntable is rotated by the drive unit, the scraper moves relative to the floor or the waste tank as the turntable rotates, thereby automatically displacing the manure. It is then sent to the manure outlet.

Appropriate conveyance means such as a waste manure conveyor is arranged at this manure outlet, and the top manure is conveyed out of the livestock barn via this conveyance means.

On the lower surface side of this plate 1.75, there is a fixed movable scraper 76 that moves close to the bottom of the groove of the human waste tank 7o. A plurality of movable scrapers 76 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction of the turntable 2, and each scraper 76 moves in the longitudinal direction of the human waste tank 70 as the turntable 2 rotates. It has become. Movable scraper 7 of this embodiment
Numbers 6 are provided at a ratio of, for example, one for every two cows.

A manure take-out port 77 is provided in a part of the W urine tank 70, and one end of a manure conveying container (bunk cleaner) 78 is located below the take-out port 77. Similar to the well-known one, the manure conveying conveyor 78 has a chain 79 that runs endlessly for a predetermined period of time to take the number of battles 80, and as the chain 79 runs, the manure conveyor converter 78 takes the number of battles 80, and as the chain 79 runs. - The battle 80 is arranged to move inside the thing 81], and as the patrol 80 moves, manure is carried out to the livestock shed 1. A corner pulley 82 at the end of the conveyor 78 is located near the take-out [7'' 177.

In addition, the L.L. -C, first scraper 83 or floor 5
Fixed on the side. This scraper 83 scrapes up the manure excreted on the second part of the flooring material 6 and the rear portions of the rubber masts 1 and 4, and passes the manure through the manure receiving plate 1. It has the function of dropping onto 75. Further, a second scraper 84 is provided adjacent to the L side of the manure receiving plate 1/75 so as to be interlocked with the corner bobbin 82. In other words, this scraper 84 has the function of scraping off the manure on the play 1/75 into the human waste tank 70 by rotating it all the way around together with the corner boob 82. The second scraper 84 may be configured to be interlocked with the scraper 82. Also, the second scraper 84 may be fixed on the side of the rest 5 at a location other than the illustrated example.

12 On the inner peripheral side of the turntable 2, that is, on the side where the feed tank 11 is provided, there is a /g8 provided along the circumferential direction of the turntable 2, which is connected to the gap 88 between the turntable 2 and the floor 85. There is. A scraper 9o is provided near the bottom of the full 89. This scraper 9
0 is fixed to the inner periphery of the turntable 2, and moves within the groove 89 as the turntable 2 rotates, thereby transporting feed scraps, etc. that have fallen into the groove 89 to the unloading unit 11 (not shown). It's like scraping it out.

For example, one scraper 90 is provided for every four cows.

Next, the operation of the livestock breeding equipment 1 having the above configuration will be explained.

The turntable 2 is not always rotated, but is rotated at a predetermined speed during milking and feeding. Generally, milking is done twice a day and feeding is preferably 1=. < is 4 per day
It is said that it is best to do this in about 6 times.

During milking, the turntable 2 is rotated intermittently over a predetermined circumferential length. For example, in a case where three cows can be milked at the same time, as in the case of the milking room 65 shown in FIG.
Milking operation is performed in step 5. If the time required to milk 3 cows is, for example, 4 minutes, the turntable 2 is stopped for a slightly longer period of time (after milking is finished), and then the milking operation for 3 cows is completed. The milking operation for the next three cows is then performed by rotating the turntable 2 whose circumference corresponds to the milking period.

During feeding, the turntable 2 is continuously rotated once at a rotational circumferential speed faster than during milking. When the turntable 2 rotates, the pins 19 of the feeding units 1 and 17 move along with this rotation. and dispensing device 21
is rotated by the circumferential length while the pin 19 and the engaging member 30 are engaged.

For example, when the installation density of one bottle is set high (7) as shown in the pitch P1 in FIG. It will rotate continuously.

In this case, while one chute 8 passes under the feed drop opening 25, a plurality of changha 2
The feed B stored in each chamber 24 is dropped onto one feed tank 1/18 through the feed drop port 25, and is supplied to the feed tank 11 through the feed pipe 12. In other words, it is possible to automatically supply feed in an amount corresponding to the number of chambers 24 passing through the feed drop port 25 to a predetermined feed tank 1.

On the other hand, if the pitch between the pins 19 and 1.9 is widened to P2, the dispensing device 21 will rotate intermittently with respect to one chute 18, and one chute 18 will rotate intermittently according to the interval. The rotation circumference becomes shorter. That is, in this case, while one chute 18 passes under the feed drop port 25, a small number of chambers 24 pass above the feed drop port 25, and the number of chambers 24 passes A relatively small amount of feed B is dropped onto the feed 18 through the feed drop port 25, and is supplied to the feed tank 11 through the feed pipe 1215.

In addition, since the rottle-shaped floor material 6 rotates as the turntable 2 rotates, the manure excreted on the upper surface of the floor material 6, the rear upper surface of the rubber mat 4, etc. is transferred to the first scraper 8.
3, the manure is dropped through the floor material 6 onto the manure receiving plate 75. Further, the manure that has fallen onto the plate 75 is caused to fall into the human waste cypress 70 by the second scraper 84. As the movable scraper 76 moves into the human waste tank 70 as the turntable 2 rotates, the manure that has fallen into the human waste tank 70 is removed from the manure outlet 77 as the scraper 76 moves. It is dropped onto the transport conveyor 78 and carried out outside the stockyard.

Note that FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a rostle-shaped flooring material 6 is fixed to the floor 5 side of the livestock barn. Therefore, the scraper 83 is fixed to the turntable 2. When the turntable 2 rotates, the scraper 83 moves relatively close to the upper surface of the flooring 6. Therefore, the scraper 83 scrapes up the manure excreted on the flooring 6 and drops it into the human waste tank 70. The manure that has fallen into the human waste tank 70 is sent into the manure outlet 77 by a movable scraper 76 that moves together with the turntable 2.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, manure can be automatically removed when the turntable is rotated by the drive unit, so the inside of the livestock barn can be kept clean at all times without manual intervention.
