It is arranged. Then, the birds in each bird cage, for example, a chicken, can hit the drinking water pickcock with its mouth to drain water and drink the water. However, since water from the drinking pickcock will not flow well due to the generation of water stains, algae, moss, etc., the water supply pipes are washed manually by high-pressure water etc. for each water supply pipe periodically or suddenly. It was Moreover, the belt conveyor for excrement is gradually soiled by use and becomes a habitat for various bacteria, which adversely affects chickens, and therefore it has been washed manually by a periodic or sudden occurrence of an infectious disease.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional cleaning system for water supply pipes or excrement discharge belt conveyors, it takes a certain amount of time for a person to check that the work itself is manual, the water supply pipes are clogged, and the feces discharge belt conveyor is dirty. It is necessary to look around and check every time, and even if one drinking pickcock has a poor water supply, it will have a great adverse effect on the chickens housed in the bird cage, and the feces. If pathogenic bacteria of an infectious disease adhere to the carry-out belt conveyor, the chickens housed in all bird cages in one row, rather than one bird cage, will be greatly affected.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is automatically washed before substances such as water stains, algae and moss adhere to the water supply pipe, and before dirt adheres to the excrement discharge belt conveyor. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic cleaning device in a bird house that can do so.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has a cycle in each season when substances such as water stains, algae, and moss adhere to the water supply pipe to prevent water from coming out of the drinking pickcock, or clogs the feces on the belt conveyor for excrement. As a result, we found that the cycle in each season when various bacteria began to reproduce unexpectedly coincided, and completed the present invention. That is, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the automatic cleaning device in a bird house of the present invention arranges at least a plurality of bird cages in one row and provides a feces carrying belt conveyor under the plurality of bird cages. A birdhouse in which a water supply pipe with a drinking water pick cock is arranged in the plurality of bird cages and the drinking water pick cock is arranged in each bird cage, and a timer is provided upstream of the water supply pipe. An automatic switching valve that can switch between the high-pressure water system and the water supply system is provided, and the downstream side of the water supply pipe is connected to the cleaning device for the feces carrying belt conveyor, and the automatic switching valve is switched to the high-pressure water system by a timer. At this time, the water supply pipe is washed and the feces carrying belt conveyor is washed by the washing device.

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a flow sheet diagram showing an automatic cleaning device in a bird house of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing a state in which a water supply pipe and a feces carrying belt conveyor are arranged in the bird house. In both figures, 1 shows an automatic cleaning device in a bird house of the present invention. The automatic cleaning device 1 in the bird house has a plurality of bird cages 2 arranged in a line and feces below the bird cages 2. This is a bird house 6 in which a belt conveyor 3 for carrying out is provided, and a water supply pipe 5 having a drinking water pick cock 4 is arranged in a plurality of bird cages 2 and the drinking water pick cock 4 is arranged in each bird cage 2. Then, an automatic switching valve 9 capable of switching between the high pressure water system 7 and the water supply system 8 by a timer is provided on the upstream side of the water supply pipe 5, and the downstream side of the water supply pipe is used as a cleaning device 10 for the excrement discharge belt conveyor 3. Connected.

Within the bird cage 2, several chickens 11 are bred, and a plurality of bird cages 2 are arranged in a row, and a plurality of bird cages in a row are stacked. They are arranged side by side to form one bird house 6. Therefore, the feces carrying-out belt conveyor 3 is also installed under each bird cage 2 in one row, and if there are a plurality of layers of the bird cage 2 in one row, the feces carrying belt conveyor 3 will have the same number of layers. 3 is also installed.

The water supply pipe 5 has a plurality of drinking water pick cocks 4 attached to the pipe 12 at regular intervals. When the water supply pipes 5 are attached to the birdhouse 6, at least one bird cage 2 has at least one drinking water picking pipe. Try to spread two or more cocks 4. Each water supply pipe 5 attached to each birdhouse 6 is divided into a high pressure water system 7 and a water supply system 8 which are water supply main pipes via an automatic switching valve 9, and the water supply system 8 is again pressurized to high pressure via a regulator 13. The high pressure water system 7 is connected to a water supply tank 16 via a pressure pump 14 and a water supply valve 15. A drain valve 17 is attached to the water supply tank 16.

The drinking water pick cock 4 is a conventionally known one, and is formed by providing a valve member 19 on a valve body 18 screwed and fixed to a pipe 12. That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the drinking water pick-up cock 4 is attached to the lower surface of the pipe 12, and the chicken 11 sticks the protruding portion 19a of the valve member 19 to lift the protruding portion 19a upward. At this time, the drinking pickcock 4 is opened and a small drop of water drips, which the chicken 11 drinks (see Fig. 4). If not, the state shown in FIG. 3 is reached, and the drinking water pick cock 4 is closed so that water does not come out except when necessary.

It is said that the action of the chicken 11 drinking water from the drinking water pickcock 4 is due to the learning effect of the chicken 11. The box 20 of FIG. 1 is attached to one end of a water supply pipe 5 provided in each row of the bird cages 2 via a fixture 21 and communicates with the water supply pipe 5. This box 20 is hermetically sealed so that water entering from the water supply pipe 5 does not leak, and a water cutoff detector 22 is provided in this box 20.

In this embodiment, the water cutoff detector 22 is equipped with a float switch, that is, a float 23 is installed in the box 20, and a holder 24 is installed on the lower surface of the box 20. Two conductors 25 are taken out from the float 23 in 24, and the two conductors 25 are connected to a switch 26 mounted in a holder 24. Although not shown in the figure, the signal from the switch 26 is connected to a driving operation monitoring panel installed in the management building, and when it is displayed on this panel, it is recorded and an alarm or a lamp blinks with a buzzer or the like. Alerts to the manager.

Since the drinking water pick-up cock 4 of the water supply pipe 5 described above always needs an appropriate water pressure, the float switch which is the water cutoff detector 22 is attached at a position where the appropriate water pressure can be obtained. A flexible tube 27 is connected between the water supply pipe 5 and the fixture 21 attached to the box 20 so that the appropriate water pressure can be adjusted.

A water level monitoring pipe 28 is attached to the upper surface of the box 20 via a fitting 29. Since the water level monitoring pipe 28 is transparent, the water state can be visually checked. You can easily check if it is. The water level monitoring pipe 28 is connected to the cleaning pipes 30, 30 of the cleaning device 10 in the feces carrying-out belt conveyor 3 described later.

The excrement discharge belt conveyor 3 is not particularly limited in shape, but directly receives the excrement of chickens 11. Therefore, it is preferable that the conveyor belt 31 has a smooth surface and is easily slippery. used. In the illustrated belt conveyor 3 for discharging feces, a pulley 32 is provided on the head side, a pulley 34 is provided on the tail side, and a scraper 35 is provided on the pulley 32. The feces finally scraped from the conveyor belt 31 by the scraper 35 are stored in the receiver 36.

The cleaning device 10 is installed below the feces carrying-out belt conveyor 3 to clean the conveyor belt 31, and the cleaning pipes 30 and 30 are provided on the upstream and downstream sides of the brush 37 and further for draining. And a chute 39 for receiving the dirty water after cleaning. The cleaning device 10 is operated in synchronization when the automatic switching valve 9 is operated by a timer and the high-pressure water thread 7 and the water supply pipe 5 communicate with each other. The cleaning pipes 30, 30 are connected to the water supply pipe 5, the flexible tube 27. The high-pressure water after passing through the box 20, the water level monitoring pipe 28 is supplied, the high-pressure water is jetted from these cleaning pipes 30, 30 to the conveyor belt 31, and the brush 37 further rotates to remove dirt and scraper. The water is drained at 38 to complete the washing.

Reference numeral 40 in FIG. 2 denotes a gutter of the feeding conveyor. Next, a method of using the automatic cleaning device 1 having the above structure in the birdhouse will be described.

First, after confirming that water has been supplied to the water supply tank 16 and that there is water in the water supply tank 16, the water supply valve 15 is opened, the regulator 13 is adjusted to a predetermined water supply pressure, and the automatic switching valve 9 is supplied with water. Set to system 8. Next, the pressurizing pump 14 is operated to increase the pressure of the high-pressure water system 7, which is the main water supply pipe, and the water regulated by the regulator 13 flows into the water supply pipe 5 and the box 20 communicating with this to fill it. Then, it also flows into the water level monitoring pipe 28. In this state, the water level monitoring pipe 28 allows a person to directly check the water level, and the float 23 of the water cutoff detector 22 rises to turn off the switch 26, thereby confirming that the water level is full. Send to. At this time, if the water is cut off due to some accident, the water in the water level monitoring pipe 28 will be exhausted first, so that a person can directly check it, and if the water in the box 20 and the water supply pipe 5 runs out, The float 23 of the float switch, which is the detector 22, is lowered to turn on the switch 26, and the fact that the water is cut off is transmitted to the operation control panel. Operation In the monitoring panel, the water shutoff status is displayed on the panel, and the manager is notified by a warning such as a buzzer or flashing lamp. Based on this, the administrator can take necessary action immediately. In this way, it is possible to constantly and reliably supply water to the chicken 11, but depending on the water quality, water stains, algae, moss, etc. may occur in the water supply pipe 5 and the water cannot be drained from the drinking pickcock 4. There are many cases of poor performance, especially in spring, summer and autumn. This is caused by a certain amount of water remaining in the water supply pipe 5, so it is sufficient to remove all the water in the water supply pipe 5 before the occurrence. Therefore, the timer automatically activates the automatic switching valve 9 to switch to the high-pressure water system 7, and the high-pressure water is supplied for a predetermined time with the water supply pipe 5, the flexible tube 27, the fixture 21, the box 20, the fixture 29, and the water level monitoring pipe. The water that has accumulated there through 28 is sprayed from the cleaning pipes 30, 30 onto the conveyor belt 31 and is completely consumed as cleaning of the conveyor belt 31, and at the same time, the brush 37 is rotated to drain water with the scraper 38 to clean the conveyor belt 31. To do. When the water supply pipe 5 and the conveyor belt 31 are completely washed, at that point the timer automatically operates the automatic switching valve 9 to switch to the water supply system 8 for normal water supply. By repeating the above operation, it is possible to prevent the water from coming out of the drinking pickcock 4 or the water from getting out of the drinking cock 4 and prevent the disease from being transmitted to the birdhouse 6 due to the contamination of the conveyor belt 31. it can.

The cleaning of the water supply pipe 5 is performed automatically, but the removal of feces on the feces carrying-out belt conveyor 3 may be performed manually.
