Abstract:
An apparatus (1) for cleaning the floor of an accommodation of an animal. The apparatus is provided with an air-flow-generating device (8) and with a control system (6) for controlling the operation of the apparatus, the apparatus being movable over the floor controlled by the control system and the apparatus performing a cleaning of the floor controlled by the control system. The control system is programmed in such a way that the control system controls the cleaning of the floor in such a way that the control system first activates and subsequently deactivates the air-flow-generating device. A method of cleaning the floor of an accommodation for an animal, the method comprising, as a first cleaning step, first generating an air flow and directing the air flow to the floor for removing loose material lying thereon. An apparatus for cleaning the floor of an accommodation of an animal, which apparatus is provided with an air-flow-generating device, and with a control system for controlling the operation of the apparatus, the apparatus being movable over the floor controlled by the control system and the apparatus performing a cleaning of the floor controlled by the control system, the apparatus comprising a master unit (2) and a mobile unit (3) that is movable relative to the master unit (2), the floor-cleaning device (7) and the air-flow- generating device being disposed on the mobile unit that is movable relative to the remaining part of the apparatus.
Abstract:
A vehicle system with a charging station (30) and a autonomously movable, electrically powered vehicle(2) dockable therewith, the vehicle system including mutually engageable inlet-side coupling means (5, 6) on the vehicle and an outlet-side coupling means (31, 32) on the charging station (30) arranged to transport energy between the charging station and vehicle when engaged and further being provided with an inlet-side guiding member (6), an outlet-side guiding member (32), respectively, arranged to guide the inlet-side and outlet-side coupling means from a non-charging position into a charging position upon engaging of said inlet-side and outlet-side coupling means when docking the vehicle to the charging station.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an autonomous and self-propelled vehicle (1) for laterally displacing feed, comprising: - a frame (3); - a housing (5), wherein the housing comprises rotatable feed- displacement means (7); wherein at least a bottom section of the feed-displacement means is rotationally symmetrical about a cylinder axis (9) and wherein the cylinder axis is at an angle to the vertical (11) in such a manner that a part (17) of the feed-displacement means which, viewed in the direction of travel, is situated at the front is arranged closer to the ground (13) than a part of the feed-displacement means which, viewed in the direction of travel, is situated at the rear. Such feed-displacement means are simple to manufacture and achieve good feed-displacement.
Abstract:
Feed-mixing device comprising a container with a side wall (3) having a dispensing opening (7) which can be closed off with a slide (6), in front of which a removing device (9) is placed which, for example, comprises a roller (10) with teeth (11). When the roller (10) rotates, the teeth (11) extend inside the side wall (3). On a first peripheral section (a) of the roller, the teeth (11) are placed in such a manner that they do not extend inside the side wall. Thus, the slide (6) can be positioned in such a manner that it runs in a fluent and continuous manner with respect to the side wall (3), while the assembly still forms a compact arrangement.
Abstract:
Unmanned self-propelled and self-steering device (1) for removing manure present on a floor (3), comprising a manure slide (4) with a sliding wall (8) which, when viewed in the customary direction of travel of the device, forms a first contact surface for manure present on the floor, and comprising a drive device for the travelling over the floor, wherein the drive device comprises a rotatingly driven drive (3) which is in driving engagement with the floor during operation and which is located in front of the sliding wall.
Abstract:
Unmanned self-propelled device (1) for carrying out activities in a stable, in particular a stable with a floor (30) which, in its upper surface, is provided with a pattern of optionally vertically throughgoing interruptions (31), wherein the device comprises a frame (7) with a longitudinal direction which coincides with a main direction of travel of the device, wherein the device comprises a first and a second supporting member (11 a,b) for the frame (7), which, in relation to the dimensions of the device (1), are disposed in the vicinity of each other and are connected to the frame (7) and form a first and a second supporting surface, wherein the first and the second supporting surface are both formed to provide, when viewed in a first vertical plane containing the main direction of travel of the device (1), a first and a second contact location with the floor (30), wherein, when the two supporting members (11 a,b) are directed for moving the device (1) in the main direction of travel, the first and second contact locations provide first and second contact location centre lines, respectively, which are transverse to the first vertical plane and which do not coincide with each other.
