Description

[0001] The invention relates to a floor element for constructing a stable floor and a stable floor which is composed of several such floor elements.

[0002] DE20002536U1 describes a slatted floor for pig housing. The slatted floor consists of a plate-shaped, rectangular concrete grid with groups of passage slats distributed across the standing area. In the central area of the concrete grid, a main passage opening for excrement is provided, oriented perpendicular to the direction of the slats. This is intended to reduce the amount of excrement on the standing area of the concrete grid, so that the standing area of the concrete grid is less heavily soiled.

[0003] DE202004013055U1 describes a slatted floor that can be assembled from slatted floor elements and has a substructure, the surface of the slatted floor having slats that are open downwards at least in sections. The substructure consists of support-like prefabricated joists onto which the slatted floor elements can be placed. The prefabricated joists have a length that is several times the side length of a slatted floor element, and the slatted floor elements have a thickness that is less than the construction height of the prefabricated joists. This is intended to create a slatted floor that is easy to manufacture, allows for a wide variety in the number and orientation of the slats, and better meets the hygienic requirements in a stable. However, the costs of constructing such a slatted floor have proven to be only partially satisfactory in practice.

[0004] The object of the present invention was to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide an improved stable floor which meets the requirements of the highest possible hygiene for animals and also the lowest possible technical and structural expenditure.

[0005] This object is achieved by a floor element, in particular by a so-called slatted floor element, for constructing a stable floor and by a stable floor according to the claims.

[0006] The floor element according to the invention comprises a substantially plate-shaped or cuboid-shaped support body, which is formed at least predominantly from concrete and preferably comprises concrete reinforcement, which can be formed from reinforcing iron. This support body has an upper side that is closest to a stable floor to be constructed. The support body further has a lower side facing away from the upper side, and a lateral surface that extends between the upper side and the lower side of the support body. In addition, the support body has a plurality of preferably slot-shaped openings that extend between the upper side and the lower side and are provided for draining animal urine towards the lower side. The support body has at least two spaced-apart support zones on its underside, which support zones are provided for load-transmitting support of the support body relative to a foundation, a manure channel, or a floor surface. At least a portion of the upper side of the support body is configured as an inclined surface relative to a horizontal plane if the at least two, preferably at least three to four, support zones are arranged within this common horizontal plane. This at least one inclined surface is aligned or oriented such that animal urine impinging on the upper side of the floor element is directed toward the plurality of openings.

[0007] Via the at least one inclined surface of the floor element, impinging animal urine can flow more efficiently to the preferably slot-shaped openings and subsequently into a floating or drifting manure channel. At least a portion of the manure or animal droppings remains on the upper surfaces of the floor element and can be fed into a slurry pit by means of a known manure removal system, for example a scraper, a vacuum robot, or a self-propelled machine with a slide attachment, a storage area, or a discharge chute. This not only prevents a strong ammonia re-

Not only does this not only achieve a reduction in production, but it also improves animal welfare. Farmers' workload can also be reduced because manure removal intervals can be extended without creating damp floors or an unhealthy barn climate.

[0008] A floor element according to the invention also offers considerable advantages in the construction of a stable floor or in the erection of a stable for animals, such as cattle or pigs. The substructures beneath the floor elements or the spaced-apart supports for the floor elements, in particular the upper edges of manure channels or supporting foundations, can be easily leveled horizontally, while still ensuring that excreted animal urine, in particular, is drained away in a controlled manner. In particular, this provides the dryest possible standing area for the animals in a structurally simple and efficient manner, which promotes stable hygiene and benefits animal welfare.

[0009] Furthermore, the area of gaps or openings in the floor element can be kept low or minimized compared to a closed upper surface of the floor element, which benefits an increase in animal welfare, but nevertheless a top surface that is as dry as possible because it allows for good urine drainage can be achieved.

[0010] The at least two support zones, in particular the preferably three or four support zones on the underside of the support body, define a common support plane of the floor element, which common support plane, when the floor element is in use, preferably lies in a horizontal plane, i.e., is horizontally oriented. The at least two, in particular three or four support zones on the underside of the support body are accordingly arranged coplanarly or within the horizontal plane.

[0011] It is advantageous if the floor element has at least one further inclined surface on its upper side, wherein the inclined surfaces on the upper side of the floor element form a common, urine-collecting channel on the upper side of the floor element. This channel, or the base of this channel, can preferably be formed in a central portion of the support body.

[0012] This advantageously creates a one-piece floor element with a channel or urine collection section open at the top. Such a floor element provides efficient separation of an animal's excretory products, urine and feces, which can significantly reduce the formation of ammonia or prevent ammonia contamination. Furthermore, it allows for the driest possible floor area, contributing to improved animal welfare.

[0013] It may be advantageous for the channel to have a preferably flat channel bottom, which runs parallel to the horizontal plane accommodating the support zones and in which the aforementioned openings are formed. This allows for the simplest and most complete cleaning of the surface of the floor element, because narrow channels or furrows or sharp-edged V-shaped depressions on the upper side of the floor element are avoided. This allows for the most thorough and complete removal of manure or excrement from the upper side of the floor element, even with less elastic pushers or plough elements.

[0014] Alternatively or in combination with the preferred arrangement of the openings within the channel bottom, it may also be provided to arrange urinary drainage openings in at least one of the inclined or sloping surfaces of the supporting body.

[0015] According to an advantageous embodiment, a length of the channel bottom measured parallel to a longitudinal axis of the support body can be between 2% and 40%, preferably between 15% and 33%, particularly preferably between 20% and 25% of a length of the support body. In particular, a length of the preferably flat channel bottom between two inclined surfaces converging into the channel bottom can be between 10 cm and 150 cm, preferably between 20 cm and 100 cm. This allows for the most thorough cleaning of the upper side of the

floor element of manure or dung.

[0016] Another advantageous embodiment is one in which the at least one inclined surface has a gradient of at least 2%, in particular between at least 2% and 10%, preferably between 3% and 5%, relative to the horizontal plane accommodating the support zones. This ensures good and sufficiently rapid drainage of animal urine while still providing a sufficiently flat and therefore comfortable ground contact surface for animals and humans.

[0017] According to an advantageous measure, the at least one inclined surface can be designed as a two-dimensionally flat surface, i.e., not as a spatially curved surface. This also allows for an increased level of animal welfare and health. Furthermore, cleaning the floor element of surface animal excrement is facilitated.

[0018] Furthermore, it may be expedient if at least some of the openings, preferably all of the openings, have an increasing clear cross-section from the top of the support body toward the bottom of the support body. This can prevent unwanted, gradual blockage of the openings with animal excrement or manure.

[0019] Furthermore, it can be provided that a slip-resistant coating against animal claws is applied to the upper side of the support body. This coating comprises, for example, sand, in particular quartz sand, rubber particles, and a binding agent. This can reduce the risk of injury to animals. Furthermore, such a coating is pleasant or advantageous for animal claws because it can contribute to natural claw wear and, moreover, reduces the effort required for claw care.

[0020] Alternatively, or in combination with an anti-slip coating, the concrete surface on the upper side of the support body may be provided with a slip-resistant structure that protects against animal claws. This can increase slip resistance for animals and, at the same time, create a particularly wear-resistant, long-term anti-slip surface.

[0021] According to a particular embodiment, the anti-slip structure can be provided with depressions or grooves extending toward the openings. This keeps the walking surface as dry as possible for the animals, thus further increasing slip resistance. Furthermore, this can achieve an improved drainage and diversion effect for the urine to be directed toward the openings.

[0022] According to an advantageous development, it can be provided that a single lower chord strand extending in the longitudinal direction of the support body is arranged on the underside of the support body, in particular is formed as a single piece, so that the support body has a substantially T-shaped cross-section. This allows an optimized ratio between the load-bearing capacity and weight of the floor element to be achieved. Furthermore, the surface area of the underside of the floor element can be kept small, which can minimize unwanted adhesion of feces and urine to the underside of the floor element and thus contribute to improved hygiene.

[0023] Alternatively, it may be advantageous if at least two lower chord strands extending in the longitudinal direction of the support body are arranged on the underside of the support body, in particular if they are formed integrally, so that the support body has a substantially U- or E-shaped cross-section. This allows for the creation of relatively highly resilient, self-supporting floor elements. In particular, self-supporting floor elements with a length of more than 4 m can be created, which are supported only in the end sections and can reliably withstand the loads typical in stables.

[0024] Furthermore, it can be provided that an axis of the channel runs transversely to a longitudinal axis of the supporting body. By arranging several soil elements in a row with respect to their width direction, a composite channel or gradient can be constructed, which can easily extend over several meters.

[0025] Furthermore, it can be provided that an axis of the channel runs parallel to a longitudinal axis of the supporting body. By arranging several soil elements in a row with respect to their longitudinal direction, a composite channel or gradient can be constructed, which can easily extend over several meters.

[0026] Furthermore, according to an advantageous embodiment, the support body can have sloping surfaces, starting from its two longitudinal ends towards the longitudinal center, and the support body can form a flat or level support surface on its underside, and accordingly, has the smallest cross-sectional height in its longitudinal center. This flat or overall flat underside of the floor element facilitates its storage and transport because it can ensure that it rests on level substrates or floor surfaces without tipping or wobbling. It also keeps its laying or installation as simple as possible because the corresponding support surfaces, foundations, or floor sections can be easily designed horizontally or level.

[0027] The object of the invention is further achieved by a stable floor for animals according to the claims.

[0028] A stable floor for animals according to the invention comprises a plurality of floor elements arranged next to one another, wherein the floor elements are designed according to one of the claims listed below, and wherein the floor elements are arranged in such a way that they form a composite or extended channel for the drainage or accumulation of animal urine.

[0029] Such a stable floor better meets the requirements of the highest possible hygiene for animals with the lowest possible technical and structural effort. Further technical effects and advantageous effects that can be achieved with it can be found in the preceding and following sections of the description.

[0030] For a better understanding of the invention, it is explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

[0040] By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the variously described embodiments, identical parts are provided with identical reference numerals or identical component designations, whereby the disclosures contained in the entire description can be applied mutatis mutandis to identical parts with identical reference numerals or identical component designations. Furthermore, the positional information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc., refers to the directly described and illustrated figure, and these positional information must be applied mutatis mutandis to the new position in the event of a change in position.

[0041] In Figs. 1 to 3, an embodiment of a prefabricated floor element 1 is illustrated, which is intended for the construction of stable floors or as a support and

Serves as a lying area for farm animals such as cattle or pigs. Several such floor elements 1 arranged in rows and/or columns provide a corresponding standing and lying area for farm animals.

[0042] A correspondingly prefabricated floor element 1, which is to be subsequently installed, comprises a statically relevant or strength-relevant supporting body 2 made of cast concrete. This concrete supporting body 2 typically comprises internal concrete reinforcement. This concrete reinforcement can be in the form of mats, basket weaves, and/or rods. The concrete can also be fiber-reinforced concrete or have reinforcement made of fibers. The reinforcement material can accordingly be made of iron and/or fiber materials.

[0043] The supporting body 2 can—as illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3—have a substantially plate-like or flat basic shape to form a slatted floor surface element. The outline contour of the floor element 1 can also be described as approximately cuboid-shaped or approximately prismatic.

[0044] With respect to the position of use of the floor element 1 according to Figs. 1 to 3, the support body 2 has an upper side 3, a lower side 4 and at least one lateral surface 5 which extends between the upper side 3 and the lower side 4. The upper side 3 is closest to a stable floor to be constructed and the lower side 4 is facing away from the upper side 3.

[0045] The support body 2 further comprises a plurality of openings 6, which extend between the upper side 3 and the lower side 4 and are provided for draining animal urine toward the lower side 4. These openings 6 can be arranged in a group or cluster in a longitudinal center section 7 of the support body 2, as can be seen in Figs. 1 and 2. Accordingly, distal end sections 8, 9 of the support body 2 adjoining the central longitudinal center section 7 can be designed free of openings. To a certain extent, excrement or animal feces can also reach a manure channel 14 running beneath the floor element 1 via the openings 6.

[0046] Optionally, a laying aid 10, which is designed, for example, as a slot-shaped opening, can be arranged in each of the distal end sections 8, 9. These optional laying aids 10 are intended to facilitate the attachment of lifting or slinging devices and thus simplify the installation of the floor element 1.

[0047] At least two support zones 11, 12 are formed on the underside 4 of the support body 2. These support zones 11, 12 can be located in the region of the distal longitudinal ends of the support body 2. The number of predefined support zones 11, 12 can be between two and four. The support zones 11, 12 on the underside 4 of the support body 2 are provided for load-transferring support of the support body 2 relative to a foundation, the walls 13 of a manure chute 14, or a paved ground surface. Fig. 1 illustrates a self-supporting design of the floor element 1, wherein the floor element 1 extends self-supporting over large areas of a manure chute 14 arranged below it and is supported only in its distal end sections on the walls 13 of the manure chute 14. Alternatively, larger sections of the end sections 8, 9 can be supported on a load-bearing substructure or concrete substructure.

[0048] The openings 6 in the support body 2 are arranged such that animal urine accumulating on the upper side 3 and typically also certain amounts of animal excrement can enter the manure channel 14. For example, the openings 6 are positioned in the longitudinal center section 7, in particular in the middle third with respect to a length 15 of the support body 3.

[0049] At least a partial section of the upper side 3 of the support body 2 is formed as an inclined surface 17 relative to a horizontal plane 16, if the at least two load-bearing support zones 11, 12 of the support body 2 are arranged within this common horizontal plane 16. This at least one inclined surface 17 is aligned or oriented in such a way that

that animal urine striking the upper side 3 of the floor element 1 is guided by gravity in the direction of the plurality of openings 6 and is accordingly passed on to the underside 4 or diverted into the manure channel 14.

[0050] Thus, if the predefined support zones 11, 12 of the support body 2 lie in a common horizontal plane 16, in particular rest opposite a horizontal support plane, then at least one urine-draining inclined or slanted surface 17 is formed on the upper side 3 of the concrete support body 2. Since the support zones 11, 12 of the support body 2 or of the floor element 1 can lie in a horizontal support plane or in a horizontal horizontal plane 16, and at least a portion of the upper side 3 is formed as a urine-draining inclined or slanted surface 17, simple installation of the floor element 1, in particular simple erection of the substructure, and increased hygiene and dryness in the standing area for animals can be achieved.

[0051] As can be seen by way of example from Figs. 1 and 2, it may be expedient if at least one further inclined surface 18 is formed on the upper side 3 of the support element 2 or base element 1, wherein the at least two inclined surfaces 17, 18 formed on the upper side 3 form a common channel 19 on the upper side 3 of the base element 1. This channel 19 is preferably formed in a central section, for example in the longitudinal central section 7, of the support body 2. In contrast, in the embodiment according to Figs. 4 to 6, the channel 19 is arranged in a central section with respect to the width direction of the base element 1.

[0052] The channel 19 according to Figs. 1 to 3 has a preferably flat channel bottom 20. This channel bottom 20 can run parallel to the horizontal plane 16 receiving the support zones 11, 12. Within this channel bottom 20, the aforementioned openings 6 for urine drainage are formed in the direction of the supporting body underside 4.

[0053] A length 22 of the channel bottom 20, measured parallel to a longitudinal axis 21 of the support body 2, can be between 2% and 40%, preferably between 15% and 33%, particularly preferably between 20% and 25% of a length 15 of the support body 2. This length 22 is preferably at least approximately 5 cm.

[0054] Accordingly, a channel 19 with a substantially U-shaped cross section and fairly flat channel side walls is formed on the upper side 3 of the base element 1. Alternatively, the converging inclined surfaces 17, 18 can meet directly at an obtuse angle, thus forming a channel 19 with a substantially V-shaped cross section and flat inclined surfaces 17, 18.

[0055] The inclination of the inclined surfaces 17, 18 relative to the horizontal plane 16 is generally less than 5°, in particular less than 3°. It is expedient if the at least one inclined surface 17, 18 has a gradient of at least 2%, in particular between at least 2% and 10%, preferably between 3% and 5%, relative to the horizontal plane 16 accommodating the support zones 11, 12, in order to achieve a good compromise between rapid urine drainage and the animals' resistance to slipping or standing.

[0056] The at least one inclined surface 17, 18 on the upper side 3 of the floor element 1 can be designed as a two-dimensional flat surface, i.e. have straight cross-sectional contours with respect to the upper side 3 of the support body 2, whereby the cleaning of the floor element 1 can be simplified or the formation of contamination zones can be prevented.

[0057] As can best be seen from Fig. 1, it can be provided that at least individual openings 6, preferably all openings 6, starting from the upper side 3 of the support body 2 in the direction of the underside 4 of the support body 2, have an increasing clear cross-section in order to prevent the openings from becoming blocked with manure or animal feces.

[0058] As also schematically indicated in Fig. 1, the floor element 1 can have at least partially, preferably over the entire surface, a

anti-slip coating 23. This coating 23 adhering to the concrete surface can comprise, for example, sand, in particular quartz sand, rubber particles and a binding agent.

[0059] Alternatively, or in combination with a surface coating 23, the floor element 1 can have a slip-resistant structure in the concrete surface on the upper side of the supporting body 2 that protects against animal claws. This structure on the upper side 3 of the floor element 1 can be designed in the form of stripes or in the form of studs or checks arranged in a matrix. It is expedient if this slip-resistant structure has depressions or grooves extending in the direction of the openings 6.

[0060] A single lower chord strand 24 extending in the longitudinal direction of the support body 2 can be arranged on the underside 4 of the support body 2, in particular formed in one piece, so that the support body 2 has a substantially T-shaped cross-section. Alternatively, at least two lower chord strands 24, 25 extending in the longitudinal direction of the support body 2 can be arranged on the underside 4 of the support body 2, in particular formed in one piece, so that the support body 2 has a substantially U-shaped (Fig. 3) or E-shaped cross-section.

[0061] In the embodiment according to Figs. 1 to 3, an axis 26 of the channel 19 runs transversely to a longitudinal axis 21 of the support body 2. In contrast, in the embodiment according to Figs. 4 to 6, an axis 26 of the channel 19 runs parallel to the longitudinal axis 21 of the support body 2.

[0062] As can best be seen from the embodiment according to Fig. 1, the floor element 1 can be designed such that the support body 2 has, starting from its two longitudinal ends in the direction of the longitudinal center section 7, respectively sloping inclined surfaces 17, 18, wherein the support body 2 forms a flat support surface 27 on its underside 4 and has the smallest cross-sectional height 28 in its longitudinal center section 7.

[0063] Figures 4 to 6 show a further and possibly independent embodiment of the floor element 1, wherein the same reference numerals or component designations are used for the same parts as in the preceding figures. To avoid unnecessary repetition, reference is made to the detailed description in the preceding figures.

[0064] Here, the floor element 1 or its support body 2 has inclined surfaces 17, 18 running transversely to its longitudinal axis 21, which inclined surfaces 17, 18 meet approximately in the middle of the width of the floor element 1 and accordingly form a centrally arranged channel 19. In this center with respect to the width direction of the preferably plate-shaped support body 2 or in the corresponding channel bottom 20, a plurality of preferably slot-shaped openings 6 are formed, which openings 6 are preferably arranged serially one after the other or in a single row. This allows for a relatively small area proportion of gaps or openings compared to a closed concrete or support body surface. Nevertheless, this ensures good and rapid drainage of animal urine impinging on the upper side 3.

[0065] The underside 4 of this floor element 1 is designed to be flat or as a flat support surface 27, wherein the inclined surfaces 17, 18 on the upper side 3 are inclined or sloping in the direction of the width center when the support surface 27 is aligned parallel to a horizontal plane 16.

[0066] Figures 7 and 8 show a further and possibly independent embodiment of the floor element 1, wherein the same reference numerals or component designations are used for the same parts as in the preceding figures. To avoid unnecessary repetition, reference is made to the detailed description in the preceding figures.

[0067] Here, the floor element 1 or its supporting body 2 is designed in several parts, in particular in two parts. This can be particularly useful for large spans or for large required

Bridging widths with respect to at least one manure channel 14 must be statically appropriate.

[0068] A first supporting body part has the first inclined surface 17, while a further or second supporting body part has the further or second inclined surface 18. In an assembled state according to Fig. 7, these supporting body parts can form the common channel 19. The urinary drainage openings 6 are preferably formed in the common channel bottom 20 of the channel 19. Alternatively or in combination therewith, it can be provided to form openings 6 in the inclined surfaces 17 and 18, respectively.

[0069] The end sections of the supporting body parts of the floor element 1 facing each other in the installed state can be supported in a load-transmitting manner on a supporting wall or supporting wall 29 of the drifting manure channel 14, for example arranged centrally.

[0070] A stable floor for the animals comprises a plurality of floor elements 1 arranged next to one another according to Figs. 1 to 3 and/or according to Figs. 4 to 6 and/or according to Figs. 7 and 8, wherein the floor elements 1 are arranged in a row in such a way that they form a composite channel 19 for the drainage or accumulation of animal urine.

[0071] The embodiments show possible embodiments, it being noted at this point that the invention is not limited to the specifically illustrated embodiments thereof, but rather various combinations of the individual embodiments with each other are also possible and this possibility of variation lies within the skill of the person skilled in the art in this technical field due to the teaching of technical action by means of the objective invention.

[0072] The scope of protection is determined by the claims. However, the description and the drawings are to be used to interpret the claims. Individual features or combinations of features from the various embodiments shown and described may represent independent inventive solutions. The problem underlying the independent inventive solutions can be derived from the description.

[0073] All information on value ranges in this description is to be understood as including any and all subranges thereof, e.g. the information 1 to 10 is to be understood as including all subranges starting from the lower limit 1 and the upper limit 10, i.e. all subranges begin with a lower limit of 1 or greater and end with an upper limit of 10 or less, e.g. 1 to 1.7, or 3.2 to 8.1, or 5.5 to 10.

[0074] For the sake of clarity, it should finally be pointed out that, in order to better understand the structure, some elements have been shown not to scale and/or enlarged and/or reduced.
