Automatic pig-sty cleaning system - has dirt collection container displaced in conjunction with movement of pig within sty

摘要

The cleaning system using an electronic, mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic control, uses a transport carriage which carries a collection container for the dirt from each sty, the collection container adjusted vertically relative to the horizontally displaced carriage. The supply for the drive motor can be provided by a battery or a mains transformer, with the movement controlled by the presence of the pig to allow the container to track the pig's movement, with an IR light barrier used to control its return to the rest position. ADVANTAGE - Efficient soil collection for reduced risk of infection etc.
