Development of the robot drive module for cleaning surfaces in stables

Ročno čiščenje tal v hlevih je delovni proces, ki kmetu dnevno vzame več ur časa, ki bi ga lahko namenil za ostala opravila. Da kmetu olajšamo delo je proces smiselno avtomatizirati in modernizirati. Zato smo nadaljevali razvoj avtonomnega robota, ki bo večkrat na dan očistil izločke iz (visoko udobnih) tal. S stalno čistostjo tal v hlevu dosežemo boljše zdravje in počutje živali. V sklopu diplomske naloge smo obravnavali oz. zasnovali mehanizem za praznjenje zalogovnika robota in pogonski modul za čiščenje visoko udobnih tal v hlevu. Razvoj je obsegal pregled trga robotov za čiščenje tal, definiranje zahtev in želja, oblikovanje rešitev in konceptov, vrednotenje rešitev in konceptov po metodi VDI-R 2225 ter izbor in preračune izbranih komponent ter ostalih delov. Izdelali smo tudi 3D model obeh sklopov in jih vgradili v vpenjalno mesto v ohišju robota.Manual cleaning of the floors in the stable is a labor operation that costs the farmer several hours of time every day that could be used for other work on the farm. To make the farmer\u27s work easier, it makes sense to automate and modernize the process. Therefore, we have continued the development of an autonomous robot that cleans the excrements several times a day (high animal welfare). By keeping the floor clean all the time, we achieve better health and welfare of the animals. As part of the thesis, we developed a mechanism for emptying the robotic tank and a drive module for cleaning the floor of the stable. The development consisted of reviewing the market for floor cleaning robots, defining requirements and wishes, designing solutions and concepts, evaluating solutions and concepts according to the VDI-R 2225 method, and selecting and recalculating selected components and other parts. We also created a 3D model of the two assemblies and assembled them at a fixture location in the robot housing
