Description

Breeding Module {Breeding Module}

The present invention relates to a breeding module, and more particularly, to a breeding module capable of maximizing the insulation performance of a chicken farm, facilitating temperature/humidity/noise management, and reducing breeding costs.

Since the conventional chicken farm was in the form of an open cage with an inside and outside open, it was difficult to create environmental conditions in which chickens could effectively grow.

Later, in order to solve this problem, a chicken breeding farm (no window cage) was developed in which the inside and outside of the breeding farm were completely sealed and separated. Due to structural and operational reasons, it is difficult to maintain insulation performance, a large amount of water is required for cooling, a large amount of fuel is used to operate a heater used to maintain a constant temperature inside the breeding farm, and the inside of the breeding farm is excessively heated. Due to the size, air circulation is not performed smoothly, so there is a problem in that there is a large temperature difference by location, such as between upper and lower floors, and a problem in which the chick is stressed due to noise generated when a large heater and fan are operated.

Therefore, the need for a new device capable of solving these conventional problems is emerging.

Therefore, the definition should be made based on the contents throughout this specification.

Hereinafter, the breeding module 1000 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view showing a breeding module 1000 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing a conventional breeding farm.

Referring to FIG. 1, in the breeding module 1000 of the present invention, the breeding unit 100, which forms a breeding space in which objects to be raised are accommodated, is located on the inner floor of a heat insulating housing 200 capable of blocking heat exchange by combining a heat insulating material. Therefore, it is possible to minimize the cost and energy required to optimize the breeding environment of chicks.

If described in detail with reference to the conventional breeding farm shown in FIG. 2, the conventional chicken breeding farm 10 was a form in which chicks were released and raised inside the breeding farm or raised by installing a multi-story cage.

In such a conventional breeding farm, in order to minimize heat exchange between the inside of the chicken breeding farm 10 and the outside air, the insulation material 6 must be coupled to the entire outer wall 5 of the chicken breeding farm 10, and the internal space of the large breeding farm is heated. In order to do this, there is a problem in that the heater 7 using fossil fuel must be operated frequently, and a large temperature difference occurs between the air between the upper and lower floors or by location because the heat is not spread evenly in a wide space.

In detail, since the insulation material (6) must be coupled to the entire outer wall (5) including the roof of the wide chicken farm (10), a lot of construction costs are required, and the heater (7) used for fossil fuel must be operated for a long time. Because of this, problems such as cost increase/smoke generation and noise generation/greenhouse gas emission have occurred, and since it is difficult to smoothly circulate the air located in the wide chicken farm 10 internal space, the chicken farm 10 inner area A large temperature difference occurred between (1, 2, 3, 4), causing a problem that chicks located in areas with high temperatures died.

Therefore, in the present invention, the breeding unit 100 where chickens are raised is wrapped with the insulating housing 200, minimizing the space required for the insulation installation area and breeding environment.

In other words, the present invention does not use the building itself built as a breeding farm as in the prior art, but since the breeding module 1000 of the present invention is installed in a single or plural number inside the breeding farm, breeding proceeds, so that the area where the insulation must be installed can be minimized to the surface of the insulated housing 200, and the area requiring temperature control and air circulation can also be minimized to the accommodation space 210 inside the insulated housing 200 where the breeding unit 100 is located, so even with less energy It is possible to easily create an optimized breeding environment.

At this time, the optimized breeding environment refers to temperature / humidity / ventilation conditions in which chicks can quickly grow into chickens of a desired weight. Hereinafter, referring to the drawings, the detailed configuration of the breeding module 1000 for creating an optimized breeding environment is described. let me explain

3 to 4 are conceptual views for explaining the internal structure of the breeding module 1000 of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, the breeding unit 100 is positioned at the edge, and the breeding unit frame 110 intersects with each other to form a ventilation hole, and a ventilation network coupled to the ventilation hole and having a plurality of holes ( 120), and a separation net 130 coupled to the breeding unit frame 110 to divide the breeding space formed inside the breeding unit 100 into a plurality of parts and having a plurality of holes formed therein.

In detail, since the breeding unit 100 is a place where objects raised such as chickens are separately accommodated, as shown in FIG. 110) is formed, and a plurality of breeding unit frames 110 are cross-coupled and a ventilation network 120 is coupled to the hole formed to restrict the breeding target located inside from going out, and at the same time, air is supplied to the breeding unit 100 ), and as shown in FIG. 3, by combining a plurality of separation nets 130 with the breeding unit frame 110, the breeding space is partitioned in a form optimized for breeding targets and breeding purposes.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the separation network 130 is erected vertically and divides the breeding space at the same height, and the vertical separation network 131 spreads in the left and right or front and rear directions to divide the breeding space by height. It may include a horizontal separation network 132, and it is recommended that the horizontal separation network is formed with a plurality of holes for foreign matter treatment.

In addition, a foreign material transfer unit 140 for moving falling foreign materials is located below the horizontal separation network 132, and transfers the fallen foreign materials (dirt) to the foreign material collection unit 150, and the foreign material transfer unit 140 may be a conveyor belt in one embodiment.

In detail, when the foreign material transport means (conveyor belt) operates according to the time set by the manager, the foreign material moves along the rotating conveyor belt to the end of the conveyor belt, and the foreign material moved to the end of the conveyor belt moves along the conveyor belt. It is separated from the end point and goes into the bowel movement located on the lower side.

In addition, the breeding module 1000 of the present invention is provided inside the insulated housing 200, and the environment control unit 400 controls the environment (temperature / humidity / ventilation) of the accommodation space 210 inside the insulated housing 200 And, it may include a blower 300 that circulates air to more smoothly control the internal environment of the accommodation space 210.

At this time, the environment control unit 400 is a ventilation unit 410 that ventilates the air in the accommodation space 210 by receiving external air and discharging internal air, and a temperature control unit that controls the temperature of the accommodation space 210 It is divided into 420 and the humidity control unit 430 for controlling the humidity of the accommodation space 210, and hereinafter, this configuration will be described in more detail.

Ventilation unit 410 is configured to receive outside air and discharge internal air to the outside so that fresh air can always be located inside, and is perforated on the insulation housing 200 to allow outside air to flow in. The inlet 411, the first opening/closing means 412 for opening and closing the outdoor air inlet 411, the outdoor air inlet duct 413 connected to the outdoor air inlet 411 and forming a passage through which air flows, and a heat insulation housing ( 200) It may include a bet outlet 414 spaced apart from the outside air inlet 411 and discharging internal air, and a second opening/closing means 415 for opening and closing the bet outlet 414.

In detail, when ventilation is required, as shown in FIG. Internal air is discharged through the bet outlet 414 by the flow, and outside air can be introduced through the outside air inlet 411 as much as the air discharged to the bet outlet 414.

At this time, when the blower 300 is disposed on the side of the outside air inlet 411, since air is sucked into the outside air inlet 411 by the force of the blower 300 releasing air, ventilation is more efficient. can be done smoothly.

In addition, after the air circulation is completed, the first opening and closing means 412 and the second opening and closing means 415 close the outside air inlet 411 and the outside air outlet 414, as shown in FIG. block the inflow and discharge of internal air.

The first opening and closing means 412 and the second opening and closing means 415 may include various devices capable of selectively opening and closing the outside air inlet 411 and the inside outlet 414, respectively. In one embodiment, open and close It may include a plate used for and a power device such as a motor that hinges the plate with rotational force, but it is not limited because it may include various other devices.

The temperature control unit 420 is installed on the outside air inlet duct 413, and is installed on the cooling means 421 for evaporating water to lower the temperature of the passing air, and the air circulation passage, and heats with electricity as a power source. It may include a heating means 422 for generating.

At this time, the cooling means 421 may include various devices capable of cooling the air introduced through the outside air intake duct 413, and in one embodiment, a plurality of holes are formed to allow air to pass through. It may include a cooling plate forming a, and a spraying device for spraying water on the surface of the cooling plate.

In detail, the spray device sprays water on the surface of the cooling plate to lower the temperature of the cooling means 421, so that the air introduced through the cooled means 421 also exchanges heat with the cooling means 421. It was allowed to cool through the process.

In addition, the heating means 422 may include various devices capable of heating the air circulating inside the accommodation space 210, and in one embodiment, may include a heating plate that discharges heat when electricity is applied, , The heat transfer plate may be a porous structure in which a plurality of holes through which air passes are formed.

In detail, while air passes through the holes formed in the heat transfer plate, heat emitted from the heat transfer plate is absorbed and heated.

At this time, the heat transfer plate is the inlet side of the breeding unit 100 through which the air circulated by the blowing unit 300 flows into the breeding unit 100 and the breeding unit 100 through which the air passing through the breeding unit 100 is discharged. ) Even if it is located on one or more of the outlet sides, sufficient heating can be performed, but in consideration of the fact that the temperature of the air is lowered in the circulation process and that the air flowing into the breeding unit 100 should not be excessively heated, the breeding unit ( 100) It is recommended that more heat transfer plates be installed on the outlet side of the breeding unit than on the inlet side.

In addition, when cooling is performed through the cooling means 421, the outside air inlet 411 and the inside outlet 414 are opened as shown in FIG. 3, and when heating is performed through the heating means 422, as shown in FIG. As shown, the outdoor air inlet 411 and the air outlet 414 must be closed so that effective cooling and heating can be achieved.

In addition, the humidity control unit 430 may include various water spray devices capable of regulating the humidity of the accommodation space 210 by discharging water, and a blower unit through which air is discharged so that the sprayed water can spread more effectively ( 300) is recommended.

In addition, a light emitting means 500 for emitting light may be further formed on the upper side of the breeding unit 100 .

In detail, since the brightness of light has a great influence on the biorhythm of the breeding subject, the manager uses the light emitting means 500 to optimize the brightness of the breeding unit 100 to generate a biorhythm conducive to growth. It is possible to adjust the brightness.

At this time, the light emitting means 500 is located on the upper side of the breeding unit 100 and is spaced apart from the inner surface of the heat insulation housing 200 so that a plurality of light emitting means 500 may be spaced apart below the plate forming a circulation passage, the number and arrangement of the light emitting means 500 is not limited because it may be variable according to the design.

In addition, a closing means P2 may be formed on the upper side of the plate P1 to close the air circulation passage AL located on the upper side of the plate so that air flows only through the blower 300, and the blower 300 may be mounted inside the closing means (P2).

In addition, a filter (F) capable of filtering foreign substances mixed in the air is formed on the outlet side of the breeding section 100 where the air passing through the breeding section 100 is discharged, so that contamination occurs when foreign substances move with the air. It is possible to minimize the phenomenon, and a sterilizer may be located after the filter (F) to sterilize the air passing through the filter (F).

5 is a conceptual diagram showing that guide ribs are formed in the breeding module of the present inventors.

In the breeding module 1000 of the present invention, the breeding unit 100 is spaced apart from the inner surface (front, rear, and top) of the insulated housing 200, and the air circulation passage through which air moves to the edge of the insulated housing 200 ( AL) is formed.

At this time, forming the air circulation passage AL enables the air to stably circulate the air in the accommodation space 210 using the minimum blower 300 by having a standardized movement, and the air circulation is smooth. This is to minimize an increase in the temperature difference between regions due to the formation of a space where no space is formed.

The movement of air through the air circulation passage AL is performed in the order of the upper air circulation passage AL-1, the front air circulation passage AL-2, the breeding unit 100, and the rear air circulation passage AL-3. In order to assist such air circulation, it is recommended that a guide lip 600 be formed on the inner surface of the heat insulating housing 200 to assist air circulation.

At this time, the guide lip 600 guides the moving direction of the circulating air to gradually change, so that the air can move without being stagnant in each circulation passage (AL) connection portion having an angular shape, and the insulation housing ( 200) and a first guide lip 610 that guides the air moving from the rear to the front of the upper air circulation passage AL-1 to the front air circulation passage AL-2, and the front air A second guide lip 620 that guides the air introduced into the circulation passage AL-2 into each layer of the breeding unit 100 separated into a plurality of layers by the separation network 130, and a heat insulating housing ( 200) may include a third guide lip 630 that guides air passing through the breeding unit 100 to rise.

And, in the case of the second guide ribs 620, a plurality may be formed to distribute and inject air into each layer of the separated breeding unit 100, and the plurality of second guide ribs 620 have a length lower than the upper side Since is formed long, it is possible to minimize the problem that less air is introduced into the lower layer of the breeding unit 100 than the upper layer of the breeding unit 100 due to a decrease in speed in the course of air circulation.

In addition, the guide lip 600 may have a flat plate shape, but one surface in contact with air may have a curved shape so that the air movement direction guide is made in a more gentle shape.

6 is a cross-sectional view showing that the noise reduction unit is formed at the edge of the blowing unit of the breeding module of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 6 , a noise reduction unit 700 is positioned at the edge of the blowing unit 300, so that noise generated while operating the blowing unit 300 can be minimized.

In detail, the blower 300 is a device in which a motor rotates a fan to create air flow, and noise is generated by the operation of the motor and friction between the fan and the air, and this noise hinders the growth of breeding targets. Since it acts as a factor, in the present invention, the noise reduction unit 700 capable of absorbing and damping vibration covers the blower 300 so that the noise generated when the blower 300 operates is transmitted to the breeding target and does not hinder growth. it did

At this time, the noise reduction unit 700 surrounds the side surface of the blower unit 300 and includes a noise reduction housing 710 having a liquid accommodating space formed therein, a vibration absorbing material 720 accommodated in the liquid accommodating space, and , A vibration damping groove 730 formed on an inner surface of the noise reducing housing 710 may be included.

In detail, since the strength of noise (sound waves) is weakened when they are scattered and absorbed during the transmission process, in the present invention, some of the sound waves spreading out through the side edge of the blower 300 collide with the vibration damping absorber 730 Sound waves that are scattered and transmitted to the noise reduction housing 710 can be absorbed while passing through the liquid vibration absorbing material 720 .

7 to 8 are conceptual diagrams for explaining a modified form of the breeding module 1000 of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, a first form in which a plurality of breeding units 100 are accommodated on one insulation housing 200 and a space in which a manager can move is formed between the two breeding units 100, and FIG. As described above, the two breeding units 100 may include a second form combining a plurality of breeding modules 1000 of the first form accommodated in one heat insulating housing 200.

In addition, although only two modified forms are shown on the drawing, the breeding module 1000 of the present invention may be modified in various forms by a designer, so it is not limited thereto.

In addition, the rearing module 1000 of the present invention may circulate internal air in the longitudinal direction of the rearing unit 100 in which the rearing unit 100 is extended, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, but the rearing unit 100 It is possible to minimize the gentle path of air by circulating air in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the is extended.

In detail, when the air circulation path is long, the air circulation is not smooth, so the temperature difference between the upper and lower sides increases.

In addition, as described above, when the air circulation path is formed short, the air circulation is more smooth, so it is possible to solve the problem of air being stagnant and polluted in some areas, and ventilation is also performed more quickly. Of course, the energy consumed to compensate for the heat released in the process can also be minimized.

In addition, since this short air circulation path is a direction crossing the operating direction of the feed supply unit and the operating direction of the foreign matter transfer means 140 installed in the direction in which the breeding unit 100 is extended, In addition to minimizing the scattering of the feed, there is an advantage in that the odor emitted from foreign substances can be removed by providing it to the washer more quickly.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the scope of application is diverse, and anyone with ordinary knowledge in the field to which the present invention belongs without departing from the gist of the present invention claimed in the claims Of course, various modifications are possible.
