Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of animal husbandry, and more particularly to a calf shed for cattle farming. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, calves under three months old are raised in individual pens on calf islands in a sunny, dry open field. This prevents the calves from licking and sucking each other. At the same time, the internal environment can be changed by moving the calf islands regularly, which makes it easier for workers to clean and disinfect the calves and their living environment.

[0003] However, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the calf island is quite troublesome. Generally, workers enter the inside to clean and disinfect, and after cleaning, it takes a long time before the calves can enter. In short, the whole cleaning process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Therefore, this application provides a calf shed for cattle farms. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a calf shed for cattle farms that is simple to operate and easy to clean and disinfect.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following measures:

[0006] A calf shed for cattle farming, characterized in that it includes a calf island and a fence arranged in conjunction with the calf island;

[0007] The calf island includes a frame, on which a top cover mechanism and side plate mechanisms symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top cover mechanism are provided. An end face mechanism is provided at the rear end of the frame away from the fence. One end of the frame away from the end face mechanism is set as an opening. The top cover mechanism, the two side plate mechanisms and the end face mechanism form a separate feeding environment with three closed sides and one open side, namely the calf island.

[0008] The invention also has the following specific features:

[0009] The frame includes a pair of symmetrically arranged U-shaped frames. Each of the inner surfaces of the U-shaped frames on both sides is provided with a slot. The slot engages with the sides of the top cover mechanism and the two side plate mechanisms. The sides of the top cover mechanism and the two side plate mechanisms are respectively located in the slots on the corresponding sides. A rubber pad is provided in the slot to engage with the sides of the top cover mechanism and the two side plate mechanisms. The rubber pad serves to seal and prevent air or rain from penetrating the contact surface.

[0010] The top cover mechanism includes a crossbar disposed between the upper sides of the two U-shaped frames. A mounting plate is provided on both end faces of the crossbar. A pair of rectangular through holes are provided on the mounting plate. A pair of sliding rods that cooperate with the rectangular through holes on the corresponding sides are provided in the corresponding slots on both sides. A baffle is provided after the sliding rods pass through the corresponding rectangular through holes on both sides.

[0011] The crossbar is equipped with a cover plate mechanism, a flipping mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a closing mechanism.

[0012] The cover plate mechanism includes a rotating shaft that is laterally arranged in the middle of the crossbar. Both ends of the rotating shaft are provided with an electric telescopic rod after passing through the crossbar. The free ends of the electric telescopic rods on both sides are hinged to an upper cover plate, which can flip up and down.

[0013] The flipping mechanism includes a groove 1 on the upper side of the crossbar, a rotating shaft 1 passing through the groove 1, a gear cooperating with the groove 1 on the periphery of the rotating shaft 1, a groove 2 on the upper side of the crossbar near the end face mechanism, a through groove between the groove 1 and the groove 2, a matching slide rod 2 slidably disposed in the groove, a rack meshing with the gear at one end of the slide rod 2, and a handle extending through the groove 2 at the other end of the slide rod 2. Sliding the handle causes the rack to rotate the gear, which in turn rotates the rotating shaft 1, thereby causing the upper cover plates on both sides to flip.

[0014] The lifting mechanism includes four sets of electric telescopic rods II. A pair of electric telescopic rods II are provided on the sides of both sides of the crossbar. The pair of electric telescopic rods II on one side are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the electric telescopic rods II. The free end of the electric telescopic rods II is provided with a triangular push block that cooperates with the upper cover plate. Before the upper cover plate needs to be flipped, the electric telescopic rods II are first activated to lift the upper cover plate. At this time, the upper cover plate is sandwiched between the upper and lower electric telescopic rods II. This can prevent shaking when the upper cover plate is flipped, and then the upper cover plate can be flipped.

[0015] The closing mechanism includes a pair of electric telescopic rods three disposed on the upper side of the crossbar. The free ends of the pair of electric telescopic rods three are provided with arc-shaped covers. The lower sides of the arc-shaped covers are respectively in close contact with the upper sides of the upper cover plates on both sides. When the upper cover plates are flipped, the electric telescopic rods three first lift the arc-shaped covers, then the electric telescopic rods two lift the upper cover plates at a certain angle and clamp them between the upper and lower triangular push blocks, then the electric telescopic rods one push the upper cover plates out of the arc-shaped covers, and then the flipping mechanism flips them over.

[0016] The side plate mechanism includes a base rod disposed between the lower sides of the two U-shaped frames. The lower side of the base rod is arc-shaped. Circular mounting holes are provided on both end faces of the base rod. An annular baffle is provided at the outlet of the mounting hole. Correspondingly, sliding rods are provided in the slots on both sides. The sliding rods slide in conjunction with the inner hole of the annular baffle. The free end of the sliding rod passes through the mounting hole and is provided with a circular plate that mates with the mounting hole. A slot is provided on the upper side of the base rod. A matching side cover plate is slidably disposed in the slot. The engagement of the annular baffle and the circular plate prevents the mounting hole and the sliding rod from disengaging.

[0017] A mounting hole 2 is provided in the middle of the inner bottom surface of the slot 1. An annular baffle 2 is provided at the outlet of the mounting hole 2. Correspondingly, a sliding rod 4 is provided on the lower side of the side cover plate. The sliding rod 4 slides in conjunction with the inner hole of the annular baffle 2. After the free end of the sliding rod 4 passes into the mounting hole 2, a circular plate 2 that mates with the mounting hole 2 is provided. The engagement between the annular baffle 2 and the circular plate 2 can prevent the mounting hole 2 and the sliding rod 4 from separating.

[0018] Both sides of the side cover are provided with L-shaped sealing plates that cooperate with the base rod. The inner side of the L-shaped sealing plate is attached to the outer side of the base rod. The L-shaped sealing plate can prevent water or wind from entering the calf island through the slot one. When the electric telescopic rod two lifts the top cover plate to a certain angle, the side cover plate is lifted upward until the lower side of the side cover plate is separated from the upper side of the base rod. Then the side cover plate is flipped over and finally inserted into the slot one, completing the inward and outward flipping of the side cover plate.

[0019] A connecting mechanism is provided between the upper cover plate and the side cover plate. The connecting mechanism includes an H-shaped plate with slots on both sides. The slots 2 cooperate with the upper side of the side cover plate. The upper side of the side cover plate is set in the slot 2 on the corresponding side. A groove 3 is provided in the middle of the H-shaped plate. A round hole is provided on both end faces of the groove 3. A curved rod is provided on the side of the upper cover plate away from the closing mechanism, which cooperates with the groove 3. A cylinder is provided at both ends of the curved rod, which cooperates with the round hole. The curved rod is set in the groove 3, and the cylinder is rotatably set in the round hole on the corresponding side. After the entire device is connected, the upper side of the upper cover plate abuts against the upper side of the groove 3, which plays a sealing role and can prevent wind and rain.

[0020] The end face mechanism includes an end panel that slides with the inner side of the U-shaped frame at the rear end. A second connecting mechanism is provided on the upper side of the end panel. The second connecting mechanism includes a second rotating shaft provided on the upper side of the end panel. A first connecting block is provided at the free end of the second rotating shaft. A second connecting block is hinged to the upper side of the first connecting block. A through hole is provided on the second connecting block.

[0021] The outer side of the corresponding U-shaped frame is provided with a groove four that cooperates with the connecting mechanism two. A circular rod that cooperates with the through hole is provided in the groove four. After the circular rod passes through the through hole, a circular baffle is provided.

[0022] Handles are provided on both sides of the end panel, and locking mechanisms are provided on both sides of the outer side of the U-shaped frame. The locking mechanism includes a semi-arc plate mounted on the U-shaped frame via a pivot. After the semi-arc plate is rotated, it fits against the outer side of the end panel. A handle is provided on the semi-arc plate.

[0023] A U-shaped baffle that mates with the end panel is provided on the inner side of the rear U-shaped frame;

[0024] The end panel is provided with a ventilation window, and the corresponding U-shaped frame is hinged with an L-shaped rod. The free end of the L-shaped rod is provided with a window cover plate that cooperates with the window.

[0025] The arc-shaped rod has a water flow hole in the middle that passes through the two cylinders on both sides. A partition parallel to the upper cover plate is provided in the middle of the water flow hole, and the partition plate divides the water flow hole into hole one and hole two. The upper and lower sides of the upper cover plate are provided with water flow channels that connect to hole one or hole two on the corresponding side. The two ends of the water flow hole are provided with matching drain pipes. The water flow channel is located inside the upper side of the groove three. When rainwater leaks from the abutment between the upper cover plate and the groove three, it can flow through the water flow channel to hole one or hole two, and then be drained to the outside of the calf island through the drain pipe.

[0026] The U-shaped frames on both sides are fastened to the side plate mechanism and the top cover mechanism by bolts.

[0027] During cleaning and disinfection, first, the calves are moved from the calf island to the enclosure. Then, the bolts are removed, and the U-shaped frame on the rear side is stretched backward, causing the side plate mechanism and the top cover mechanism to disengage from the slot. Then, the arc-shaped cover is lifted using the electric telescopic rod three, and then the top cover is lifted at a certain angle using the electric telescopic rod two and clamped between the upper and lower triangular push blocks. At this time, the side cover is disengaged from the connecting mechanism one, and the two side cover plates can be rotated outward and placed on the ground or other supports. Then, the top cover plate is pushed out of the arc-shaped cover using the electric telescopic rod one. Then, the two top cover plates are flipped using the flipping mechanism. After the top cover plate is flipped, the side cover plate is lifted upward until the lower side of the side cover plate is disengaged from the upper side of the bottom rod. Then, the side cover plate is rotated 180 degrees, and finally, the side cover plate is inserted into the slot one, completing the inside and outside flipping. Then, the two side cover plates and the top cover plate are connected using the connecting mechanism one, and then the arc-shaped cover is reset.

[0028] When flipping the end panel, first engage the locking mechanism, rotating the semi-circular plate away from the end panel. Then, slide the end panel outward using the handle, flip the end panel, and finally slide the flipped end panel into the U-shaped frame and lock it. Finally, push the rear U-shaped frame so that the side plate mechanism and the top cover mechanism enter the slot. Finally, tighten the bolts to fix it. In this way, the inner surfaces of the top cover, side cover, and end panel are all flipped to the outside, and the flipped inner surfaces form a new feeding environment. Finally, the outer surface of the calf island can be cleaned and disinfected, and dried by sun exposure.

[0029] Additionally, a rainproof cloth can be placed on one side of the top of the calf island to further prevent rain from leaking through the gaps during rainy weather.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the calf shed has a simple structure and is easy to produce and install. It effectively solves the difficulties of cleaning and disinfection. During the breeding process, the calf shed can be turned over for cleaning and disinfection every few days. After turning over, the calves can enter the calf shed. Only the outside of the calf shed needs to be cleaned, which improves work efficiency and ensures the healthy growth of the calves.

[0048] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to describe the solution.

[0049] See Figure 1-16 A calf shed for cattle farming includes a calf island and a fence 5 set up in conjunction with the calf island;

[0050] The calf island includes a frame 1, on which a top cover mechanism 3 and side plate mechanisms 2 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top cover mechanism 3 are provided. An end face mechanism is provided at the rear end of the frame 1 away from the fence 5. One end of the end face mechanism of the frame 1 away from the fence is set as an opening. The top cover mechanism 3, the two side plate mechanisms 2 and the end face mechanism form a separate feeding environment with three closed sides and one open side, namely the calf island.

[0051] The frame 1 includes a pair of symmetrically arranged U-shaped frames 11. Each of the two U-shaped frames 11 has a slot 14 on its inner side facing each other. The slot 14 engages with the sides of the top cover mechanism and the two side plate mechanisms 2. The sides of the top cover mechanism and the two side plate mechanisms 2 are respectively located in the slot 14 on the corresponding side. The slot 14 is provided with a rubber pad that engages with the sides of the top cover mechanism and the two side plate mechanisms 2. The rubber pad serves to seal and prevent air or rain from penetrating the contact surface.

[0052] The top cover mechanism 3 includes a crossbar 15 disposed between the upper sides of the two U-shaped frames 11. A mounting plate is provided on both ends of the crossbar 15. A pair of rectangular through holes 16 are provided on the mounting plate. A pair of sliding rods 13 that cooperate with the corresponding rectangular through holes 16 are provided in the corresponding slots 14 on both sides. A baffle is provided after the sliding rods 13 pass through the corresponding rectangular through holes 16 on both sides.

[0053] The crossbar 15 is equipped with a cover plate mechanism, a flipping mechanism, a lifting mechanism and a closing mechanism.

[0054] The cover plate mechanism includes a rotating shaft 28 that is horizontally arranged in the middle of the crossbar 15. After the two ends of the rotating shaft 28 pass through the crossbar 15, an electric telescopic rod 27 is provided. The free ends of the electric telescopic rods 27 on both sides are hinged to an upper cover plate 8, which can flip up and down.

[0055] The flipping mechanism includes a groove 43 on the upper side of the crossbar 15, a rotating shaft 28 passing through the groove 43, a gear 41 cooperating with the groove 43 on the periphery of the rotating shaft 28, a groove 46 on the upper side of the crossbar 15 near the end face, a through groove 46 between the groove 43 and the groove 46, a sliding rod 44 slidably disposed in the groove, a rack 42 meshing with the gear 41 at one end of the rack 44, and a handle 45 extending out of the groove 46 at the other end of the rack 44. By sliding the handle 45, the rack 42 drives the gear 41 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 28 to rotate, thereby causing the upper cover plates 8 on both sides to flip.

[0056] The lifting mechanism includes four sets of electric telescopic rods 29. A pair of electric telescopic rods 29 are provided on the sides of both sides of the crossbar 15. The pair of electric telescopic rods 29 on one side are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the electric telescopic rod 27. The free end of the electric telescopic rod 29 is provided with a triangular push block 30 that cooperates with the upper cover plate 8. Before the upper cover plate 8 needs to be flipped, the electric telescopic rods 29 are first activated to lift the upper cover plate 8. At this time, the upper cover plate 8 is sandwiched between the upper and lower electric telescopic rods 29. This can prevent shaking when the upper cover plate 8 is flipped. Then the upper cover plate 8 can be flipped.

[0057] The closing mechanism includes a pair of electric telescopic rods 31 arranged on the upper side of the crossbar 15. The free ends of the pair of electric telescopic rods 31 are provided with arc-shaped covers 9. The lower sides of the arc-shaped covers 9 are respectively fitted tightly with the upper sides of the upper cover plates 8. When the upper cover plates 8 are flipped, the arc-shaped covers 9 are first lifted by the electric telescopic rods 31, and then the upper cover plates 8 are lifted at a certain angle by the electric telescopic rods 29 and clamped between the upper and lower triangular push blocks 30. Then the upper cover plates 8 are pushed out of the arc-shaped covers 9 by the electric telescopic rods 27, and then flipped by the flipping mechanism.

[0058] The side plate mechanism 2 includes a bottom rod 22 disposed between the lower sides of the two U-shaped frames 11. The lower side of the bottom rod 22 is arc-shaped. Circular mounting holes 20 are provided on both end faces of the bottom rod 22. An annular baffle is provided at the outlet of the mounting hole 20. Slide rods 12 are provided in the corresponding slots 14 on both sides. The slide rods 12 slide in the inner hole of the annular baffle. After the free end of the slide rods 12 passes into the mounting hole 20, a circular plate is provided that mates with the mounting hole 20. A slot is provided on the upper side of the bottom rod 22. A matching side cover plate 6 is slidably disposed in the slot. The mating of the annular baffle and the circular plate can prevent the mounting hole 20 and the slide rod 12 from separating.

[0059] A mounting hole 2 is provided in the middle of the inner bottom surface of slot 1. An annular baffle 2 is provided at the outlet of mounting hole 2. A sliding rod 4 33 is provided on the lower side of the corresponding side cover plate 6. The sliding rod 4 33 slides in fit with the inner hole of the annular baffle 2. After the free end of the sliding rod 4 33 passes into the mounting hole 2, a circular plate 2 that mates with the mounting hole 2 is provided. The fit between the annular baffle 2 and the circular plate 2 can prevent the mounting hole 2 and the sliding rod 4 33 from separating.

[0060] Both sides of the side cover plate 6 are provided with L-shaped sealing plates 21 that cooperate with the bottom rod 22. The inner side of the L-shaped sealing plate 21 is attached to the outer side of the bottom rod 22. The L-shaped sealing plate 21 can prevent water or wind from entering the calf island through the slot one. When the electric telescopic rod 29 lifts the upper cover plate 8 at a certain angle, the side cover plate 6 is lifted upward until the lower side of the side cover plate 6 is separated from the upper side of the bottom rod 22. Then the side cover plate 6 is flipped over and finally inserted into the slot one to complete the flipping of the inner and outer sides of the side cover plate 6.

[0061] A connecting mechanism is provided between the top cover plate 8 and the side cover plate 6. The connecting mechanism includes an H-shaped plate 7 with slots 40 on both sides. The slots 40 engage with the upper side of the side cover plate 6. The upper side of the side cover plate 6 is set in the slot 40 on the corresponding side. A groove 38 is provided in the middle of the H-shaped plate 7. A round hole 39 is provided on both end faces of the groove 38. An arc-shaped rod 34 is provided on the side of the top cover plate 8 away from the closing mechanism, which engages with the groove 38.

The arc-shaped rod 34 is set in the groove 38, and the cylinder 36 is rotatably set in the round hole 39 on the corresponding side. After the entire device is connected, the upper side of the top cover plate 8 abuts against the upper side of the groove 38, which plays a sealing role and can prevent wind and rain.

[0062] The end face mechanism includes an end panel 18 that slides with the inner side of the U-shaped frame 11 at the rear end. A second connecting mechanism is provided on the upper side of the end panel 18. The second connecting mechanism includes a second rotating shaft 26 provided on the upper side of the end panel 18. A first connecting block 24 is provided on the free end of the second rotating shaft 26. A second connecting block 23 is hinged on the upper side of the first connecting block 24. A through hole is provided on the second connecting block 23.

[0063] The outer side of the corresponding U-shaped frame 11 is provided with a groove 4 that cooperates with the connecting mechanism 2. A circular rod 25 that cooperates with the through hole is provided in the groove 4. A circular baffle is provided after the circular rod 25 passes through the through hole.

[0064] Handles are provided on both sides of the end panel 18, and locking mechanisms are provided on both sides of the outer side of the corresponding U-shaped frame 11. The locking mechanism includes a semi-arc plate 19 mounted on the U-shaped frame 11 via a pivot. After the semi-arc plate 19 is rotated, it fits against the outer side of the end panel 18. A handle is provided on the semi-arc plate 19.

[0065] A U-shaped baffle 32 that mates with the end panel 18 is provided on the inner side of the rear U-shaped frame 11;

[0066] The end panel 18 is provided with a ventilation window 17, and the corresponding U-shaped frame 11 is hinged with an L-shaped rod. The free end of the L-shaped rod is provided with a window cover plate 10 that cooperates with the window 17.

Water flow channels 35 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the upper cover plate 8, which are connected to the corresponding side hole one or hole two. A matching drain pipe is provided at both ends of the water flow hole. The water flow channel 35 is located on the inner side of the upper side of the groove three 38. When rainwater leaks from the abutment of the upper cover plate 8 and the groove three 38, it can flow through the water flow channel 35 to hole one or hole two, and then be drained to the outside of the calf island through the drain pipe.

[0068] The two U-shaped frames 11 are fastened to the side plate mechanism 2 and the top cover mechanism 3 by setting bolts.

[0069] During cleaning and disinfection, first, move the calf away from the calf island and into the enclosure 5. Then, remove the bolts and pull the U-shaped frame 11 on the rear side backward, so that the side plate mechanism 2 and the top cover mechanism 3 are disengaged from the slot 14. Then, use the electric telescopic rod 31 to lift the arc cover 9. Then, use the electric telescopic rod 29 to lift the top cover 8 at a certain angle and clamp it between the upper and lower triangular push blocks 30. At this time, the side cover 6 is disengaged from the connecting mechanism 1. The two side cover plates 6 can be rotated outward and placed on the ground or other supports. Then, use the electric telescopic rod 27 to push the top cover 8 out of the arc cover 9. Then, use the flipping mechanism to flip the two top cover plates 8. After the top cover 8 is flipped, lift the side cover 6 upward until the lower side of the side cover 6 is disengaged from the upper side of the bottom rod 22. Then, rotate the side cover 6 to 180 degrees. Finally, insert the side cover 6 into the slot 1 to complete the flipping of the inside and outside. Then, use the connecting mechanism 1 to connect the two side cover plates 6 and the top cover 8. Then, reset the arc cover 9.

[0070] When the end panel 18 is flipped, it first contacts the locking mechanism, that is, the semi-circular plate 19 is rotated to disengage from the end panel 18. Then, the end panel 18 is slid outward by the handle, and then the end panel 18 is flipped. Finally, the flipped end panel 18 is slid into the U-shaped frame 11 and locked. Finally, the rear U-shaped frame 11 is pushed so that the side plate mechanism 2 and the top cover mechanism 3 enter the slot 14. Finally, the bolts are tightened to fix it. In this way, the inner side of the top cover 8, the side cover 6 and the end panel 18 are all flipped to the outside. The flipped inner side forms a new feeding environment. Finally, the outside of the calf island can be cleaned and disinfected, and dried by sun exposure.

[0071] Additionally, a rainproof cloth can be placed on one side of the top of the calf island to further prevent rain from leaking through the gaps during rainy weather.
