STUDY ON DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE A SPECIALIZED VEHICLE TO COLLECT INFECTED PIG CARCASSES

Abstract

Currently, the process of collecting and transporting diseased pig carcasses in Vietnam is usually done manually, so it takes a lot of effort but the efficiency is not high. This paper introduces the results of research, design and manufacture of a specialized vehicle for collecting infected pig carcasses. This vehicle was calculated, designed, modeled and analyzed by software before being put into manufacture and assembly. After the vehicle was fully assembled, it was tested by unloaded and loaded to evaluate the ability to pull the pig carcass on the vehicle and the ability to move on the road for 03 samples of pig carcass with the weight of 95,7 kg, 119,2 kg and 185,8 kg. The results showed that the vehicle collects and transports well with the common weight pigs in livestock on the farms today. Therefore, the product of this study can be used to replace the manual collection and movement of infected pig carcasses from the pigsty to the disposal place.
