  In a barn equipped with such a livestock, in order to easily collect manure discharged from livestock and maintain the hygienic condition in each livestock, it is necessary to drop manure such as a fall hole or drop groove. A cocoon-like floor surface having an opening is installed, and a discharge pit for discharging fallen manure is installed below the floor surface.

  This discharge pit is usually formed on a slope whose floor surface is inclined downward toward the center, and a groove, a pipe and other collection paths for discharging manure are formed at the deepest portion thereof. Livestock excrement dropped from the cocoon-like floor is collected through collection channels such as grooves and pipes.

  In this case, the discharge pits are formed to communicate with the lower side of the plurality of slaughterhouses across the plurality of slaughterhouses in order to efficiently collect manure falling from the plurality of slaughterhouses. Further, in some cases, the manure scraper is moved along the wall or bottom surface of the discharge pit from one end of the discharge pit to the other end so as to cross the lower part of the plurality of livestock. The feces and urine remaining in the collection path such as the floor and side surfaces, grooves and pipes are collected and collected appropriately (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  However, if the discharge pits for excretion of manure are communicated below the multiple sheds in this way, each shed is separated on the floor and appropriate for each animal's growth situation. Even if the temperature environment is set, air circulates between the livestock via the lower discharge pits. As described above, depending on the growth situation of livestock such as pigs accommodated in each livestock The environmental atmosphere such as the set temperature may change, which may affect the growth of livestock.

On the other hand, in order to block the air flow through the discharge pit, it is conceivable to install a discharge pit for each livestock, but this requires a great deal of labor and time for collecting manure. The problem that you need arises.

  The embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 show a barn 10 according to the present invention, and the barn 10 includes a plurality of barns formed by dividing the barn 10 inside. 12 and a discharge pit 14 provided below the floor surface 12A of the plurality of slaughterhouses 12 for discharging livestock manure.

<1. Livestock>
In the illustrated embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of slaughterhouses 12 are formed in two rows on the left and right sides of the central passage 16 </ b> A, and each row is further divided in the longitudinal direction of the shed 10. It is divided and formed. In the slaughterhouses 12, the airflow is mutually blocked by the wall surfaces between the slaughterhouses 12, which need to set different environmental atmospheres such as temperature at least above the floor surface 12 </ b> A.

  In addition, the floor surface 12A of each of these slaughterhouses 12 is formed in the shape of a spider with a not-shown dropping hole or dropping groove into which manure excreted by domestic animals such as pigs to be raised can fall. Therefore, the manure excreted by the livestock in the slaughterhouse 12 falls from the cocoon-like floor surface 12A to the lower discharge pit 14 and is discharged out of the slaughterhouse 12. For this reason, except in the case of cleaning etc., the caregiver himself / herself does not need to perform the operation | work which removes manure from the inside of the domestic animal 12 for every excretion. The number of the plurality of slaughterhouses 12 is not particularly limited and can be set as necessary. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 16 (16 </ b> A to 16 </ b> C) indicates a path for the caregiver to go to and from each of the livestock 12, and similarly in FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 15 indicates the path 16 of each Shows the door that separates each.

<2. Discharge pit>
On the other hand, the discharge pit 14 discharges the manure of the livestock that has fallen from the cocoon-like floor surface 12A of the plurality of slaughterhouses 12, and is arranged for each row below the floor surface 12A of the slaughterhouses 12. It is formed so as to communicate between the plurality of livestock 12 formed. In other words, all the manure is collected in the same discharge pit 14 formed for each row, regardless of which manure 12 the manure is discharged from. For this reason, it is not necessary for the carer to collect the manure for each livestock 12, and it is sufficient to collect the manure dropped into the discharge pit 14. Accordingly, the discharge pits 14 are formed corresponding to at least each row of the tub 12 as shown in FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, each of these discharge pits 14 has a bottom surface 14 </ b> A formed in a slope shape inclined downward from the left and right end portions. For this reason, manure dropped from the floor surface 12A falls on its slope due to its own weight and is collected in the deepest part of the slope (in the illustrated embodiment, the center of the bottom face 14A). For this reason, it is possible to easily concentrate the manure in one place without the caregiver collecting the manure falling in the discharge pit 14.

  In the illustrated embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in order to ensure a steep angle at which feces and urine can fall to some extent as the gradient angle of the bottom surface 14A of the discharge pit 14, as shown in FIGS. Below each row of the slaughterhouse 12, it is further divided into two rows to form discharge pits 14, and each row has two discharge pits 14. is doing. However, the number of the discharge pits 14 is not particularly limited, and can be set as necessary.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a collection path 18 for discharging manure is formed at the deepest portion of the sloped bottom surface 14A of each discharge pit 14. Therefore, the excreta dropped on the sloped bottom surface 14 </ b> A is collected in the collection path 18. As the excrement collecting path 18, for example, a pipe formed of vinyl chloride and having an opening facing the bottom surface 14A can be used. However, the formation of the recovery path 18 is not particularly limited, and the recovery path 18 may be formed by a groove formed on the bottom surface 14A in addition to the pipe.

<3. Manure Scraper>
The manure collected in the collection path 18 can be collected from the collection path 18 to the outside of the discharge pit 14. In this case, the manure is moved by the manure scraper (not shown) that moves in the discharge pit 14 and collects manure. Can be recovered. For example, the manure scraper is continuously arranged in each row from one end to the other end of each of the four discharge pits 14 on a track such as a rail (not shown) as shown by an arrow A in FIG. It moves so as to cross the plurality of slaughterhouses 12. In this case, as described above, since each discharge pit 14 communicates between the plurality of slaughterhouses 12, a single movement from one end of each discharge pit 14 toward the other end can make a plurality of Manure discharged from the slaughterhouse 12 can be collected at a time.

  If the manure scraper can scrape and collect at least 18 manure collected in the collection path in one direction, the bottom 14 can be simultaneously formed into a shape along the bottom 14A of the discharge pit 14, for example. It is also possible to scrape and collect the remaining manure. Furthermore, if necessary, it can be set to scrape the excrement remaining on the side surface 14B of the discharge pit 14. In any case, if this manure scraper can move from one end to the other end of each discharge pit 14 so as to cross the plurality of slaughterhouses 12 and collect the manure in the discharge pit 14, The shape and the like are not particularly limited, and can be appropriately set as necessary.

<4. Partition>
On the other hand, in the barn 10 of the present invention, as described above, each discharge pit 14 is formed so as to communicate with the lower part between the plurality of livestocks 12. Air and other environmental atmospheres may circulate among each other. Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a partition 20 is provided in the discharge pit 14.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the partition 20 is installed between the slaughterhouses 12 and has a role of shielding the discharge pits 14 between the plurality of slaughterhouses 12. Therefore, while achieving efficient manure collection through the discharge pit 14, the inflow of air from a certain livestock 12 to the other livestock 12 is blocked, which is suitable for livestock accommodated in each livestock 12. An environmental atmosphere can be maintained. For this reason, it is sufficient that the partition 20 is installed between the slaughterhouses 12a that need to be set to environmental atmospheres such as different temperatures, and is not necessarily required to be installed between all the slaughterhouses 12. Absent. In addition, from this, the shielding by the partition 20 of the present invention does not mean a completely airtight state, and air circulation to the extent that it does not have a significant influence on the environmental atmosphere such as the temperature of each tub 12. It is sufficient if the air can be blocked, and it is not required that a slight amount of air flow through the gap or the like is inevitable.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the partition 20 can be formed from a shielding plate formed in a shape along the bottom surface 14 </ b> A and the side surface 14 </ b> B of the discharge pit 14. Thus, the partition 20 is formed on the bottom surface 14A of the discharge pit 14 even when it is positioned at the lowermost position so as to shield the discharge pit 14 as shown in the positions of the right partition 20 in FIGS. The portion excluding the collection path 18 for excrement of manure is shielded. Accordingly, the partition 20 maintains the environmental atmosphere of each slaughterhouse 12 by blocking the air flow through the discharge pits 14 between the plurality of slaughterhouses 12 while ensuring the recovery of manure through the recovery path 18. can do.

  In this case, the partition 20 is set to move up and down as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 in the present invention. Thereby, when it is necessary to perform operations such as cleaning the discharge pit 14, the operations can be easily performed, and in particular, each animal can be collected without interfering with the above-described manure collection operation by the manure scraper. The tuft 12 can be maintained in an appropriate environmental atmosphere such as a set temperature.

  Therefore, the vertical movement of the partition 20 is set so as not to obstruct the movement of the manure scraper, particularly when the manure scraper is installed. In other words, at least when the manure scraper is about to pass through the partition 20, the partition 20 is retracted upward at least to the extent that the manure scraper can pass through to avoid collision with the manure scraper, The smooth movement of the scraper is ensured. On the other hand, before and after the passage of the manure scraper, the scraper is positioned at the lowermost portion to block the air flow between the domestic animals 12.

  Specifically, the vertical movement of the partition 20 can be achieved by, for example, the following configuration. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the drive mechanism of the partition 20 includes a support frame 22 installed in the wall surface 12A between the animal tubs 12 and adjacent to the wall surface, and a support frame 22 A drive motor 24 attached and a checker wire 26 connected to the drive motor 24 are provided, and the partition 20 is attached to the tip of the checker wire 26 and is wound up by the rotation of the drive motor 24. Alternatively, it can be moved up and down by a feeding operation. Accordingly, the support frame 22, the drive motor 24, and the follower wire 26 are set to have sufficient strength to support the partition 20.

  Further, the vertical movement of the partition 20 by these drive mechanisms can be controlled by a control panel 28 connected to the drive motor 24 as shown in FIG. In this case, the start and stop of the vertical movement of the partition 20 can be controlled by On / Off of a switch (not shown) set in the control panel 28. In this case, it is also possible to set a switch for each partition 20 so as to cut off the air flow as much as possible by moving only the partition 20 between the slaughterhouses 12 through which the manure scraper is to pass. In addition, as a switch common to the excrement scraper in the discharge pit 14, all the partitions 20 in the discharge pit 14 at a time can be set to move up and down.

  Furthermore, in this case, the timing of the vertical movement of the partition 20 is set so that it can be moved up and down by turning on / off the switch regardless of the movement of the manure scraper. While the excrement scraper reciprocates the discharge pit 14, that is, before the movement of the excrement scraper starts, the partition 20 can be retracted upward, and after the movement of the excrement scraper ends, the partition 20 can be lowered. As a result, the work can be performed with a simple configuration and without complicated operations. In addition, the control panel 28 can be electrically connected to a mechanism for driving the manure scraper and can be set to move up and down in conjunction with the movement of the manure scraper. In this case, when the movement start of the manure scraper is further detected, all the partitions 20 can be retracted upward to allow the addition of the manure scraper, or the movement position of the manure scraper can be detected, Only the partition 20 between the slaughterhouses 12 where the manure scraper is about to pass can be set to move up and down. Thereby, the collection | recovery operation | work of excrement can be performed, stopping the distribution | circulation of the air between the domestic animals 12 via the discharge pit 14 as much as possible.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the barn 10 is attached to the support frame 22 and the floor surface of the barn 10, and a guide 30 is provided to guide the vertical movement of the partition 20. The guide 30 has a transverse section formed in a substantially U shape and is installed so as to surround the left and right end faces of the partition 20. Accordingly, the left and right end portions of the partition 20 move up and down along the guide 30 so that the partition 20 can be smoothly retracted upward.

  In this case, as the partition 20 moves up and down, the partition 20 moves upward from the lower discharge pit 14 at the upper edge of the discharge pit 14 (usually the floor of the barn 10). In order to displace to the livestock 12 side, it is necessary to form an opening allowing passage of the partition 20 on the floor surface of the livestock 10. In this case, as described above, when the mechanism for vertically moving the partition 20 is installed in the wall surface that partitions the animal tub 12, the partition 20 is stored in this wall surface when retracted upward. Therefore, by opening the lower part of the wall surface, and when installing adjacent to the wall surface that divides the slaughterhouse 12, the plate-shaped partition 20 passes through the floor surface 12A of the slaughterhouse 12. An opening (not shown) that can be formed is formed.

  In this case, in particular, when the partition 20 is lowered into the discharge pit 14, when the entire partition 20 is positioned below the opening for passing these, the opening is smoothly performed when the partition 20 moves upward. Without being guided inward, it may collide with the floor surface 12 </ b> A of the animal tub 12 from below and cannot be properly retreated upward. Therefore, in particular, as shown in FIG. 3, the partition 20 is sized so that a part of the upper end side is located in the guide 30 even when it is moved to the lowermost part to shield the discharge pit 14. Set the shape or position. Even when the guide 30 is not installed, it is desirable that the opening for vertical movement, that is, the upper edge of the discharge pit 14 (usually the floor surface of the barn 10) is set to be located above. .

  The range of the vertical movement of the partition 20 can be regulated by a limit switch 32 attached to the partition 20 as shown in FIG. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, an upper limit switch 32 </ b> A is provided on the support frame 22, and a lower limit switch 32 </ b> B is provided near the lower side of the guide 30, while these are provided on the plate surface of the partition 20. The upper and lower contacts 34 that contact the limit switch 32 are attached, and the upper contact 32A comes into contact with the upper limit switch 30 as shown in the left partition plate 20 in FIG. As shown in the right partition plate 20 in FIG. 3, the upper contact 34A is moved to the lower limit switch 30B. It can be set to stop the descent by contact. In addition, as long as the range of the vertical movement of the partition 20 can be regulated, the position where the limit switch 32 is installed is not particularly limited. For example, the limit switch 32 can be installed on the floor surface 12A of the livestock 12. .

  The present invention can be applied to a barn that houses livestock such as pigs, and a barn installed in the barn.
