Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sheep pens, and specifically to an automatically adjustable sheep pen. Background Art

[0002] A sheep pen, also known as a sheep shed. Generally, it is enclosed by wood in a circle or a shape, and some rely on a wall to form a circle to enclose the sheep, playing a protective role.

[0003] With the development of technology, existing sheep pens can not only resist the harm of wild animals to the flock, but also protect the flock from cold and high temperatures. Some sheep pens cool or warm the flock by introducing cold air or warm air inward, which is beneficial to the growth of the flock and avoids situations such as illness. However, due to the phenomenon of the flock huddling together for warmth, the introduction of warm air only needs to be directed towards the direction where the flock huddles. However, the existing introduction of warm air is not intelligent, and the supply of warm air is provided to the entire area, and most of it will cause waste and cannot effectively utilize the introduced warm air to bring the greatest warmth to the flock. For this reason, we propose an automatically adjustable sheep pen. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatically adjustable sheep pen to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An automatically adjustable sheep pen includes a plurality of fence panels connected end to end to form a rectangle. Support plates are fixed at both ends of the fence panels, and an air pipe is fixed between the two support plates. An adjusting mechanism for controlling the gas supply range is installed outside the air pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism includes two detection components. The two detection components are respectively fixed on the inner sides of the two support plates and are distributed on both sides of the air pipe. A plurality of air outlet holes are opened on the outside of the air pipe, and a plurality of adjusting members are installed at positions corresponding to the air outlet holes on the outside of the air pipe. The exhaust range is controlled through the plurality of adjusting members and the two detection components, so that the utilization rate of the discharged gas is higher.

[0007] Preferably, the detection component includes a driving motor. The driving motor is fixed on the inner side of the support plate, and a lead screw is fixed at the output end of the driving motor. The end of the lead screw away from the driving motor is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support plate through a bearing, and a moving table is threadedly sleeved on the outside of the lead screw. A moving groove slidably connected to the moving table is opened on the outside of the air pipe, and a trapezoidal plate is fixed on the outside of the moving table. An infrared sensor is fixed on the outside of the trapezoidal plate. A tape measure is fixed on the inner side of the support plate, and the outer end of the tape measure is fixed to one side of the trapezoidal plate. The position of the flock is detected by the infrared sensor, so as to control the movement of the trapezoidal plate to the corresponding position and control the air outlet range.

[0008] Preferably, the adjusting member includes an arc-shaped baffle. Oblique slots are respectively formed at both ends of the arc-shaped baffle and are opposite in orientation and adapted to the trapezoidal plate. An exhaust port adapted to the air outlet hole is formed inside the arc-shaped baffle. An installation plate is fixed on one side of the arc-shaped baffle, and an arc-shaped rod is fixed on the inner side of the installation plate. A fixing plate is slidably inserted on the outer side of the arc-shaped rod and is fixed to the outer wall of the ventilation pipe through the fixing plate. A limiting block is fixed at the tail end of the arc-shaped rod. A spring is sleeved on the outer side of the arc-shaped rod, and both ends of the spring are respectively in contact with the fixing plate and the installation plate. The opening and closing of the air outlet hole can be adjusted through the adjusting member, so as to control the discharge range of the gas.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting groove is formed at a position corresponding to the arc-shaped baffle on the outer side of the ventilation pipe, and a limiting plate slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting groove is fixed on the inner side of the arc-shaped baffle. The limiting plate is adapted to the limiting groove, so that the movement of the arc-shaped baffle is smoother.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0011] Through the detection of the sheep flock range by two detection components, the present invention moves to the position where the sheep flock huddles together, realizes the control of multiple adjusting members, closes the air outlet holes far from the sheep flock, and only opens the air outlet holes close to the sheep flock, so that the discharged warm gas directly acts on the sheep flock, improving the utilization efficiency of the gas for the sheep flock.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , an automatically adjustable sheep pen in the illustration, including multiple groups of fence panels 1 connected end to end to form a rectangle. The multiple groups of fence panels 1 are butted to form a rectangle, thereby forming a sheep pen. Support plates 2 are fixed at both ends of the fence panel 1, and a ventilation pipe 3 is fixed between the two support plates 2. The outer end of the ventilation pipe 3 is communicated with a gas supply device, so as to realize the supply of warm air and cold air, and an adjustment mechanism 4 for controlling the gas supply range is installed outside the ventilation pipe 3.

[0020] Among them, the adjustment mechanism 4 includes two detection components 5. The two detection components 5 are respectively fixed on the inner sides of the two support plates 2 and are distributed on both sides of the ventilation pipe 3. A plurality of air outlet holes 6 are opened on the outer side of the ventilation pipe 3, and a plurality of adjustment parts 7 are installed at positions corresponding to the air outlet holes 6 on the outer side of the ventilation pipe 3;

[0021] Among them, the detection component 5 includes a driving motor 8. The driving motor 8 is fixed on the inner side of the support plate 2, and a lead screw 9 is fixed at the output end of the driving motor 8. One end of the lead screw 9 away from the driving motor 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 2 through a bearing, and a moving table 10 is threadedly sleeved on the outer side of the lead screw 9. A moving groove 11 slidably connected to the moving table 10 is opened on the outer side of the ventilation pipe 3, and a trapezoidal plate 12 is fixed on the outer side of the moving table 10. An infrared sensor 13 is fixed on the outer side of the trapezoidal plate 12. A tape measure 14 is fixed on the inner side of the support plate 2, and the outer end of the tape measure 14 is fixed to one side of the trapezoidal plate 12. By the movement of the trapezoidal plate 12, the expansion of the tape measure 14 is driven to control the plurality of adjustment parts 7 to maintain the adjusted state.

[0022] In addition, the adjustment part 7 includes an arc-shaped baffle 15. Oblique grooves facing in opposite directions and adapted to the trapezoidal plate 12 are respectively opened at both ends of the arc-shaped baffle 15, and an exhaust port 16 adapted to the air outlet hole 6 is opened inside the arc-shaped baffle 15. A mounting plate 17 is fixed on one side of the arc-shaped baffle 15, and an arc-shaped rod 18 is fixed on the inner side of the mounting plate 17. A fixing plate 19 is slidably inserted on the outer side of the arc-shaped rod 18 and is fixed to the outer wall of the ventilation pipe 3 through the fixing plate 19, and a limit block 20 is fixed at the tail end of the arc-shaped rod 18. A spring 21 is sleeved on the outer side of the arc-shaped rod 18, and both ends of the spring 21 are in contact with the fixing plate 19 and the mounting plate 17 respectively. Through the elastic action of the spring 21, the reset of the arc-shaped baffle 15 is realized;

[0023] Meanwhile, in order to make the movement of the arc-shaped baffle 15 smoother, a limiting groove 22 is formed on the outer side of the ventilation pipe 3 corresponding to the position of the arc-shaped baffle 15, and a limiting plate 23 that is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting groove 22 is fixed to the inner side of the arc-shaped baffle 15.

[0024] Principle of adjusting the air supply range: First, the transmission of cold air or warm air is achieved through the air supply device externally connected to the ventilation pipe 3. When the sheep flock shows a clustering phenomenon, the driving motor 8 at the top rotates to drive the lead screw 9 to rotate, thereby causing the moving platform 10 to drive the trapezoidal plate 12 to move and pull out the tape measure 14. By using the contact between the trapezoidal plate 12 and the hypotenuse of the arc-shaped baffle 15 and squeezing it to move downward, the arc-shaped baffle blocks the air outlet 6, thus playing a role in controlling the range. At the same time, the infrared sensor 13 is used to detect the position of the sheep flock, so that the trapezoidal plate 12 moves to a suitable position to control the exhaust range. After that, when the trapezoidal plate 12 moves back to the initial position, through the action of the spring 21 in the adjusting member 7, the adjusting member 7 is reset. For the arc-shaped baffle 15 that is not fully reset, it moves through another detection component 5 at the bottom of the ventilation pipe 3 to assist the arc-shaped baffle 15 that is not reset to reset, improving the gas utilization rate.

[0025] In this solution, the driving motor 8 is preferably of the Y80M1-2 model. The motor operation circuit is a conventional motor forward and reverse control program, and the circuit operation is an existing conventional circuit. The circuits and controls involved in this solution are all prior arts and will not be elaborated here.
