Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device that can easily and effectively remove and discharge chicken manure in a poultry house.

Traditionally, workers used unicycles to collect and dispose of manure inside poultry houses by discharging it outside and disposing of it. However, this type of work requires extremely hard labor and is unhygienic, and large-scale poultry farms have had difficulty securing workers. In recent years, one of the methods to overcome the above situation is to use a lift etc. to collect feces, but even in this type of work, the floor of the poultry house is generally not flat like the floor of a warehouse, etc., but has uneven surfaces. Because of this, the efficiency of fecal collection is poor, and the poultry farm has to be moved (rolled) even once.
Because the feces are collected in their entirety without being washed, they are not dried sufficiently, resulting in a state that is difficult to dry and resembles a lump of rice cake, making it difficult to dispose of it afterwards. The present inventor first developed a new type of fecal collection device in order to overcome the above drawbacks, and the device was put into practice in 1974.
Disclosed in No. 141951 (filed on October 12, 1978). However, depending on the condition of the feces, especially if the feces are soft, the transfer to the screw conveyor may not be successful and the results are not always satisfactory.

The present invention was devised in consideration of the current situation, and its purpose is to make it possible to collect feces easily and efficiently regardless of the state of the feces, and to make the feces collection process sanitary. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile feces collector that can also be used as a portable excrement collector.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, the present invention includes a traveling trolley that is movable on the central aisle of a poultry house, a scraper mounting frame extending from the front left and right sides of the traveling trolley in the width direction of the chicken house, and a scraper mounting machine. A plurality of scraper plates for collecting feces provided on a frame, and a feces collection and transfer mechanism that is connected to the innermost part of the row of scraper plates and that transfers feces to a feces collection tank provided on the traveling trolley, The machine frame is pivotally connected to the traveling truck by a cylinder device so that it can be raised and tilted, and the scraper plate is arranged at an acute angle with the forward direction of the traveling truck so that its rear end side faces toward the center of the traveling truck, Furthermore, collision levers that engage with protrusions on the side walls of the poultry house are provided at both left and right ends of the scraper mounting frame, and in conjunction with the operation of the collision levers, the tip side of the outermost scraper plate can be tilted toward the center of the passage. It is characterized by what it did.

In the above configuration, the traveling bogie 2 has front wheels 7 and rear wheels 8.
The vehicle is shown as a rectangular structure having a hydraulic system 9, and is driven by a travel motor 10 driven by hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic system 9. The traveling trolley 2 also includes an operating handle 11 and a seat 12 at the front. Next, the configuration of the scraper plate 4 and the scraper plate mounting frame 3 will be described. The end) is extended to a position close to the side wall 14 of the poultry house. The scraper plate 4 attached to the machine frame 3 is generally composed of a plurality of long rectangular plates 4a, 4b, and 4c. It can be freely connected and separated. In the above configuration, the mounting machine frame 3
In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the floor surface is brought into close contact with the long rectangular plates 4a, 4b, and 4c, regardless of their shape, and to facilitate the running of the cart 2 in or around the poultry house. , can be folded around the pivot 13 as the center of rotation. That is, by operating the tilting cylinder 16 provided at the lower part of the traveling truck 2, the mounting frame 3 is moved to a position tilted at an angle α from the horizontal floor, to a horizontal floor position, and to a position forming a substantially right angle β with the horizontal floor. brought about.

Further, the long rectangular plates 4a, 4b, 4c may be attached to the mounting machine frame 3 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. In this case, the plate height of each long rectangular plate 4a, 4b, 4c can be adjusted. is particularly convenient when the poultry house floor 15 has a curved (quadratic) slope rather than a simple linear (primary) slope. In the embodiment, the feces collection tank 5 is mounted on a follower truck 17 connected to the rear of the traveling truck 2, and the feces tank 5 moves integrally with the traveling truck 2. The feces collection and transfer mechanism 6 is for feeding the feces collected by the scraper plate 4 to the feces collection tank 5. This feces collection and transfer mechanism 6
A paddle plate 30 is provided at the rear end of the innermost scraper plate 4c to reliably send the feces to the rear by rotation of the scraping plate, and the feces inlet of the scraper conveyor 18 is opposed to the rear of the paddle plate. Further, one end of the transfer conveyor faces the vicinity of the excrement discharge port of the screw conveyor 18, and the other end faces the upper opening of the excrement collection tank 5.

Preferably, the excrement collection and transfer mechanism is connected to the screw conveyor 18, and the transfer conveyor 1 is connected to the screw conveyor 18 from the same conveyor.
It is also possible to provide a transfer direction changing device 20 for sending the collected feces to the conveyor 9 and a conveyor tilting device 21 for mounting the transfer conveyor 19 on the traveling trolley 2 so as to be tiltable. In addition, the transfer conveyor 19 together with the paddle plate 30, the screw conveyor 18, and the transfer direction changing device 20
The transfer motor 22 and the conveyor tilting device 21 that drive the conveyor are operated by hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic system 9, similarly to the travel motor 10.

Regarding other components of the mobile excreta collector according to the present invention, the outermost elongated rectangular plate 4a can be equipped with a collision prevention mechanism, and in the embodiment, the mechanism includes a protrusion 23 protruding from the side wall 14. The collision lever 24 that collides with the protrusion 23, the interlocking lever 25 that bends the outermost elongated rectangular plate 4a inward in conjunction with the bending of the air thrust lever 24, and the outermost elongated rectangular plate when the collision lever 24 is not in contact with the protrusion 23. It is composed of a spring 26 that holds 4a in one fixed position.

Next, the operation of the mobile feces collector according to the present invention will be described. (The feces collector shall be operated once a day.) First, at the entrance of the poultry house, the scraper mounting frame 3, which is folded approximately vertically, is tilted by driving the cylinder 16, and the scraper plate is removed. 4 until it comes into close contact with the floor surface 15 of the poultry house (in FIG. 2, until it forms an angle α+β with respect to the horizontal plane). On the other hand, the conveyor tilting device 21 is driven to move the lower end of the transfer conveyor 18, which is in the raised position, onto the screw conveyor 1.

On the other hand, the transfer motor 22 is also driven simultaneously to transfer the transfer conveyor 19, the screw conveyor 18,
The paddle plate 30 transfer direction changing device 20 is brought into a driving state. Therefore, the outermost rectangular plate 4a collects the chicken manure from the first day behind the intermediate rectangular plate 4b, and the intermediate rectangular plate 4b collects the chicken manure collected on the previous day by the outermost rectangular plate 4a on the central aisle side. The innermost elongated rectangular plate 4c is assembled behind the innermost elongated rectangular cup 4c, and the innermost elongated rectangular plate 4c
On the third day, the items collected by b are sent into the screw conveyor 18 by the paddle plate 30. In this process, the chicken manure is rolled over a period of three days, which increases the number of surfaces that come into contact with the air, and improves ventilation, making it easier to dry naturally. It is also possible to create optimal natural drying conditions by changing the The chicken manure that has been put into the screw conveyor 18 through the paddle plate 30 in an air-dried state is transferred to the transfer conveyor 19 via the transfer direction changing device 20, and then passed through the transfer conveyor 19. Then, it is put into the feces collection tank 5. After collecting manure inside the poultry house, return the scraper plate attachment frame 3 to its original approximately vertical position, return the lower end of the transfer conveyor 19, etc. to its original raised position, and then move the dump truck to the required outdoor location (Fig. (not shown) using an unloading lift, etc.
