发明名称 Floating manure agitator
摘要 A floating manure agitator that floats on the surface of a manure lagoon and that may be remotely controlled to agitate manure supernatant into a slurry with sludge settling on the bottom of the lagoon. The agitator is provided with a plurality of fluid outputs, the direction of which may be controlled to motivate and steer the agitator. The outputs are angled to develop vortices of supernatant into the sludge to further mix the materials into a slurry.

主权项 1. A floating slurry agitator comprising: (a) a floating vessel having a horizontal deck, the deck having a front, a rear, a first side, and a second side, wherein the first side is opposite the second side; (b) a power source provided on the vessel; (c) a slurry pump coupled to the power source; (d) a slurry intake coupled to the slurry pump; (e) a front slurry output coupled to the slurry pump, wherein the front slurry output is directed downward, relative to the deck and wherein the front slurry output is pivotable from a first position directed at least partially toward the first side of the deck and a second position directed at least partially toward the second side of the deck; (f) a first rear slurry output coupled to the slurry pump; (g) a second rear slurry output coupled to the slurry pump; (h) a pivot pipe pivotably coupled to the frame; (i) wherein the pivot pipe is in fluid communication with the first rear slurry output and the second rear slurry output; (j) wherein the first rear slurry output and second rear slurry output are directed downward relative to the deck; (k) wherein the pivot pipe is sufficiently pivotable to direct the first rear slurry output and the second rear slurry output at least partially rearward; and (l) wherein the first slurry output and the second slurry output are coupled to the pivot pipe and positionally fixed relative to one another in manner in which the first slurry output and the second slurry output pivot as a single unit; (m) wherein the first rear slurry output is directed between five degrees and eighty degrees relative to the deck toward the second side of the deck; (n) wherein the second rear slurry output is directed between five degrees and eighty degrees relative to the deck toward the first side of the deck; and (o) a directional controller coupled to the front slurry output.
