Abstract
A system for harvesting nitrogen, comprising a motored robotic litter processing vehicle including an elongate housing creating an inner space for mounting components. A nitrogen harvester box connected to a rear portion of the vehicle is provided including a vacuum canopy connecting four sides to a floor, and wheels. A scoop level to ground having an opening facing the vehicle is enabled to collect litter material including nitrogen. A sieve screen having a mesh size positioned laterally at a height above the floor enables nitrogen particles smaller than the mesh size to fall through the sieve and nitrogen particles larger than the mesh size to be captured on a top surface of the sieve, wherein a vacuum chute collects the particles smaller than the mesh size and deposits them into a collection bin.
Claims18
A system for harvesting nitrogen, comprising;
- a motored robotic litter processing vehicle including an elongate housing with a length, width, front, rear, top, center and two opposing sides creating an inner space for mounting components;
- a nitrogen harvester box connected to a rear portion of the vehicle, including a vacuum canopy connecting four sides to a floor, and wheels:
- a scoop level to ground having an opening facing the vehicle and enabled to collect litter material including nitrogen;
- a sieve screen having a mesh size positioned laterally at a height above the floor enabling nitrogen particles smaller than the mesh size to fall through the sieve and nitrogen particles larger than the mesh size to be captured on a top surface of the sieve;
- a chute connecting the canopy to a nitrogen collection bin, and
- a vacuum motor positioned between the chute and the bin;
- wherein with the vehicle moving in a forward direction, the scoop collects nitrogen particles which are size separated by the sieve screen, and the nitrogen particles smaller than the mesh screen size are vacuumed into the bin.
