CS263210B1 - Laying of flooring parts for pens for pens - Google Patents

Abstract

Pen fencing with a raised floor, in which floor parts are rotatably attached to a fixed vertical structure of dividing walls and horizontal beams. By using rotatable floor parts, or by removing them, after unloading the animals and folding these parts into a vertical position, the operator can easily access the stable floor and the lower surfaces of the floor parts and parts of the supporting structure of the fence and repair the rakes in the channels. The fencing can be used both for longitudinal pens with a longer dimension along the handling aisles and for transverse pens. The floor can be all-slatted or combined from a full bed and a slatted part.

Description

The invention relates to the laying of flooring parts of a pig-pen pen, in which the floor constituting the part of the barrier is above the floor of the stable. The pens with this solution (referred to as raised floor pens) have different design solutions, adapted mainly to the size of the animals, the feeding system, the layout of the stable and other technological requirements.

A common disadvantage of the raised pen solutions so far has been the fact that it is not possible to clean the stable floor under the raised pen floor, especially the faeces ducts and the lower parts of the raised pen floor. Because raised pens are used mostly in breeding with rotational arrest of animals, it is necessary to allow thorough cleaning and disinfection of the entire housing area ₍ including all parts of the floor of the object and the whole enclosure) when changing the pledge. In addition, the rigid design of the barrier construction makes it difficult to access the floor channels for the repair of mechanical faeces rakes.

The aforementioned drawback is overcome by depositing the floor panels of the pen barriers according to the invention, which in essence is such. a barrier construction in which the floor parts are rotatably fastened to horizontal beams on a vertical barrier structure by means of sleeves. The floor panels may be secured to the tiltable panels by a detachable connection.

The use of pivoted floor parts allows easy access for the operator to clean the stables floor and bottom surfaces of the floor parts and wall parts and to repair the rakes in the ducts when the animals are unloaded and tilted vertically. Possible easily dismountable joint of the floor part with the swivel element gives the possibility to move loose floor parts out of the stable for their thorough cleaning, maintenance or replacement.

The stowage of the enclosure flooring of the pens of the invention is applicable to both longitudinal pens (longer dimension along handling aisles) and transverse pens (longer dimension perpendicular to the aisles). The pen floor may be full slatted or combined from a full bed and a slatted section. In the case of a combined floor, the grates can be at the feed trough or on the opposite side. The pens can be arranged in single or double rows. The tilting of the floor parts can be provided to one of the pens walls, to multiple pens walls or to each other.

Some examples of barriers according to the invention are in the attached drawings. Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a pair of elevated transverse pens with feed points at the handling aisles;

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same pens

with floor parts in the rotated position for cleaning, ev. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal cross-section of the longitudinal pens, Fig. 5 is a plan view of the pens of Fig. 4, with the floor panels in the left half of the figure shown in a rotated (vertical) position; floor part with fixed part of the barrier.

The transverse pen enclosures consist of vertical structures 1 connected in both directions by horizontal beams 2 and connecting pipes 1. The horizontal beams 2 determine the height position of the raised floor of the pen. This basic structure is complemented by infills 3 of partition walls, doors 8, and floor panels 4, 5. In the embodiment shown, they are part of the door & trough 9. The floor panels may be solid - in this case floor panel 4 or slatted floor panel 5. corresponds to the profile of the stable floor with channels 6 and shrinking device 7. In the opposite position of the solid and slatted part of the floor, the profile of the stable floor also changes. In the example shown, according to FIG. 3, when cleaning the floor panel 5 is turned towards the transverse partition, the floor panel 4 toward the longitudinal central wall; the door 8 with the trough 9 to the opposite transverse wall. The example of FIGS. 4 and 5 shows longitudinal pens with transversely mounted feeders 11. The rotation of the floor panels 4 is here guided to the transverse wall and the panel 5 to the feeder.

One of the possibilities of pivoting mounting of the floor panels 4,5 and their detachable connection with the rotating element is shown in Fig. 6. For the pivotal fastening of the floor panels 4, 5 it is suitable to use horizontal beams 2 with circular cross-section (tubes). On the horizontal nose 3283 210, the sleeves 12 with booms 13 are inserted into the beams 14 of the floor panels 4, 5. The sleeves 12 can be connected by a continuous element, thereby facilitating the sliding of the floor panel. It can be made up of one or more floor parts under the floor. One floor panel may contain both a slatted and a solid surface.

The pens enclosure system with rotatable floor panels is applicable to multi-storey pens, cages and pig boxes as well as other animal species, such as pens or boxes.
