Abstract:
Device for carrying out activities in a space in which contaminants can occur, wherein the device comprises a frame and means for moving the device through said space, wherein the device further comprises a detector for detecting a body, which detector is provided with an exposed outer detecting surface, wherein the frame is provided with cleaning means for cleaning said outer surface, and wherein the frame is provided with means for operating the cleaning means in dependence on a movement of the device.
Abstract:
Livestock feed wagon (1), comprising a frame (2), a feed container (3) which is fitted on the frame, in particular provided with feed- mixing means (4,5,8), a gripper construction (10) having a movable arm construction (11) and a gripper (13) fitted thereon for grabbing an amount of animal feed (15) from a pile of animal feed (16), furthermore comprising weighing means (25), wherein the weighing means are arranged and configured to weigh a grabbed amount of animal feed by determining a change in the weight of at least the feed container and the gripper construction with the grabbed amount of animal feed. As a result thereof, it is possible to determine both the total loaded weight in the feed container and the weight of a grabbed chunk of animal feed using the same weighing means, so that the chunk, if it is either too heavy or too light, can be returned prior being unloaded, if desired.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an unmanned wheeled vehicle for cleaning the floor of an accommodation of an animal, the vehicle being configured to clean a first floor surface at a first height level, while at least partially being supported on a second floor surface at a second height level, wherein the first height level is higher than the second height level, wherein the vehicle comprises a main body comprising a support side and a cleaning side, and a support device connected to the main body at the support side thereof to at least partially support the main body on the second floor surface, wherein the main body comprises at the cleaning side a contact cleaning device configured to clean the first floor surface by contact with the first floor surface, wherein the vehicle comprises a tilting device to tilt the main body between a tilted position in which the cleaning side of the main body can be moved over the first floor surface without contact between the contact cleaning device and the first floor surface, and a cleaning position, in which the contact cleaning device is in contact with the first floor surface, when the cleaning side is moved over the first floor surface.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for mixing and cutting animal feed comprising a container (10) with a side wall (11), a rotary mixing and cutting device (20) positioned inside the container (10) and arranged to be driven by driving means (25). At least one counter element (30) is provided at the sidewall (11). The apparatus (1) comprises positioning device (31) for moving the counter element (30) between a retracted position and an inserted position, and a control unit (40) to control the positioning device (31) of the counter element (30)and arranged to determine an indication of the amount of power consumed by the driving means (25) for driving the rotary mixing and cutting device (20) and to control positioning device (31) based on the determined indication of the amount of power.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for mixing and cutting animal feed comprising a container with a side wall, a rotary mixing and cutting device positioned inside the container and at least one counter element provided at the sidewall. The apparatus comprises at least one positioning device for moving the at least one counter element between a retracted position and an inserted position. The container comprises a control unit to control the positioning device of the at least one counter element. The control unit is arranged to control at least one positioning device for bringing at least one counter element in a pulsating modus, wherein the at least one counter element moves between the retracted and inserted position.
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.
