[0019] 3. Beneficial effects

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] (1) In this solution, the sheep are driven into the installation groove. When the infrared sensor on the side of the side plate detects the sheep, the PLC controller inside the operation panel controls the first telescopic rod to drive the side plate to move, so that the head of the sheep is located in the first restraint groove. When the pressure sensor inside the first restraint groove detects pressure, the second telescopic rod starts, and drives the movable limit plate to move through the second telescopic rod, so that the movable limit plate slides on the surface of the guide rod inside the moving groove. Furthermore, the second restraint groove at the bottom of the movable limit plate and the first restraint groove at the top of the side plate restrain the head of the sheep. When the head of the sheep moves, the movable limit plate can move upward, thereby squeezing the movable spring, so that the movable limit plate can move, avoiding damage to the sheep caused by the movable limit plate. After the sheep finishes moving, the movable limit plate will continue to restrain the head of the sheep under the reaction force of the movable spring, avoiding stress on the sheep caused by too tight restraint.

[0022] (2) In this solution, the infrared sensors on the sides of the first mounting block and the second mounting block detect the position of the sheep's legs. When the sheep's legs are detected, the PLC controller controls the fourth telescopic rod and the fifth telescopic rod to adjust the positions of the first mounting block and the second mounting block respectively, so that the mounting bins on the sides of the first mounting block and the second mounting block correspond to the front legs and hind legs of the sheep respectively. At this time, the third telescopic rod is started, so that the third telescopic rod drives the sliding block to slide on the surface of the sliding rod. When the pressure sensor on the surface of the mounting bin detects pressure, the motor is started to drive the first gear disk to rotate. The rotation of the first gear disk will drive the second gear disk to rotate. The rotation of the second gear disk drives the connecting rod to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rod will drive the first connecting plate to rotate. Since the first connecting plate is fixedly connected to the first movable clamping plate, the first movable clamping plate and the second connecting plate will rotate under the action of the rotating rod and the motor, so that the first movable clamping plate and the second movable clamping plate fix the limbs of the sheep.

[0023] (3) Since tensile springs are provided on both sides of the first fixed clamping plate and the second fixed clamping plate close to the mounting bin, and tensile springs are also provided on both sides of the first movable clamping plate and the second movable clamping plate close to the other mounting, the first fixed clamping plate, the second fixed clamping plate, the first movable clamping plate and the second movable clamping plate can adapt to the size of the sheep's limbs, improving the flexibility of the device.

[0024] (4) The position of the sheep is located by an infrared sensor, and the PLC controller automatically adjusts the head restraint mechanism. The head restraint is driven by the side plate driven by the first telescopic rod, and the pressure sensor triggers the movable limit plate, which cooperates with the spring buffer to avoid damage; the limbs are fixed by adjusting the position of the mounting block through the fourth telescopic rod and the fifth telescopic rod, and the third telescopic rod drives the sliding block. The pressure triggers the motor to drive the gear transmission, so that the adaptive splint containing the tension spring fixes the limbs, thereby realizing automatic adjustment and flexible restraint, taking into account safety and body adaptability, improving the efficiency of shearing operations, and can be adaptively adjusted according to the body shape of the sheep, without the need for manual adjustment for each sheep, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

When the pressure sensor inside the first restraint groove 24 detects pressure, the second telescopic rod 32 starts, and drives the movable limit plate 31 to move through the second telescopic rod 32, so that the movable limit plate 31 slides on the surface of the guide rod 26 inside the moving groove 25, and then the second restraint groove 33 at the bottom of the movable limit plate 31 and the first restraint groove 24 at the top of the side plate 21 restrain the head of the sheep. Then, the infrared sensor 49 on the side of the first mounting block 45 and the second mounting block 47 detects the position of the sheep's legs. When the sheep's legs are detected, the PLC controller controls the fourth telescopic rod 44 and the fifth telescopic rod 46 to adjust the positions of the first mounting block 45 and the second mounting block 47 respectively, so that the mounting bins 481 on the sides of the first mounting block 45 and the second mounting block 47 correspond to the front legs and hind legs of the sheep respectively. At this time, start the third telescopic rod 43, so that the third telescopic rod 43 drives the sliding block 41 to slide on the surface of the slide rod 42. When the pressure sensor on the surface of the mounting bin 481 detects pressure, start the motor 485 to drive the first gear disk 486 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear disk 486 will drive the second gear disk 487 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear disk 487 drives the connecting rod 488 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rod 488 will drive the first connecting plate 489 to rotate. Since the first connecting plate 489 is fixedly connected to the first movable clamping plate 4812, the first movable clamping plate 4812 and the second connecting plate 4810 will rotate under the action of the rotating rod 4811 and the motor 485, so that the first movable clamping plate 4812 and the second movable clamping plate 4813 fix the limbs of the sheep, and then the shearing work of the sheep can be carried out.
