[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] Refer to Figures 1 to 9 , the present invention provides a multi-functional calf pen, including a "U"-shaped base 1. A calf pen body 2 is rotatably arranged at the closed end of the base 1. The calf pen body 2 is of a trapezoidal structure. An inlet and outlet is provided on the front side of the calf pen body 2, and the inlet and outlet is close to the open end of the base 1. An exhaust port is provided on the other side of the calf pen body 2, and a vent window that can be opened is rotatably arranged on the calf pen body 2 at the exhaust port;

[0039] On the inner walls at both ends of the base 1, a track 1-1 is fixedly arranged, and a rectangular support plate 1-2 is slidably arranged on the two tracks 1-1, and hay is placed in the support plate 1-2;

[0040] A drive mechanism 3 for moving the tray 1-2 is provided at one end of the closed end of the base 1.

[0041] The drive mechanism 3 includes a flipping gear 3-1 fixedly mounted on the calf island body 2. The flipping gear 3-1 is coaxial with the rotation axis of the calf island body 2. One side of the flipping gear 3-1 meshes with a flipping rack 3-2. The flipping rack 3-2 is slidably connected to the base 1. A fixed rack 3-3 is fixedly mounted on one side of the flipping rack 3-2. The projections of the fixed rack 3-3 and the flipping rack 3-2 in the vertical plane are perpendicular. When the operator lifts the calf island body 2, the flipping gear 3-1 drives the flipping rack 3-2 to move toward the opening end of the base 1.

[0042] The intermediate gear 3-4 meshes on the fixed rack 3-3, and the intermediate gear 3-4 is rotatably connected to the base 1. One side of the intermediate gear 3-4 meshes with the driven gear 3-5, and the driven gear 3-5 is rotatably connected to the base 1.

[0043] A connecting rod 3-6 is provided on the driven gear 3-5, and the movable end of the connecting rod 3-6 is rotatably connected to one end of the support plate 1-2.

[0044] When the operator lifts the calf island body 2 upwards, the calf island body 2 drives the flipping gear 3-1 to rotate. The flipping gear 3-1 drives the flipping rack 3-2 to move towards the open end of the base 1. Under the action of the fixed rack 3-3, the intermediate gear 3-4 rotates counterclockwise. The intermediate gear 3-4 drives the driven gear 3-5 to rotate clockwise, thereby causing the connecting rod 3-6 to push the tray 1-2 towards the closed end of the base 1. When the operator lifts the calf island body 2, the tray 1-2 can move outwards, ensuring that the calf island body 2 does not block the sunlight. At the same time, the tray 1-2 extends to the open end of the base 1, making it convenient for the operator to replace or add hay, thus improving the convenience of using this device.

[0045] The linkage 3-6 includes a drive rod 3-61 fixedly connected to the driven gear 3-5. The movable end of the drive rod 3-61 is rotatably mounted on a mounting base 3-62. A driven rod 3-63 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 3-62. The movable end of the driven rod 3-63 is rotatably connected to the support plate 1-2.

[0046] A connecting gear 3-64 is fixedly installed on the rotation shaft of the driving rod 3-61 and the driven rod 3-63 and the mounting base 3-62 respectively, and the two connecting gears 3-64 mesh with each other.

[0047] When the operator lifts the calf island body 2, the driven mechanism 3 drives the driven gear 3-5 to rotate, thereby causing the driving rod 3-61 to rotate towards the opening end of the base 1. When the driving rod 3-61 rotates, the connecting gear 3-64 can drive the driven rod 3-63 to rotate synchronously, thereby pushing the tray 1-2 to move towards the opening end of the base 1.

[0048] A support rod 1-3 is provided at the middle of each end of the base 1. The fixed part of the support rod 1-3 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and the movable part of the support rod 1-3 is rotatably connected to the calf island body 2.

[0049] The struts 1-3 are free-type gas springs. When the gas springs are extended, they can support the calf island body 2, ensuring that the calf island body 2 remains stable, and at the same time reducing the force applied by the operator when turning the calf island body 2.

[0050] Protective plates 2-1 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the inlet and outlet of the Calf Island body 2.

[0051] The protective plate 2-1 can prevent calves from stepping on the drying mechanism 4 when entering and leaving the calf island, thus extending the service life of the drying mechanism 4. At the same time, it can prevent calves from licking the drying mechanism 4, ensuring that the drying mechanism 4 will not cause harm to the calves.

[0052] When using this invention, if the operator needs to turn over or replace the hay inside the calf island body 2, the operator first lifts the calf island body 2, and drives the driven gear 3-5 to rotate through the drive mechanism 3, thereby causing the drive rod 3-61 to rotate towards the opening end of the base 1. When the drive rod 3-61 rotates, the connecting gear 3-64 can drive the driven rod 3-63 to rotate synchronously, thereby pushing the tray 1-2 to move towards the opening end of the base 1.

[0053] When the operator lifts the calf island body 2, the tray 1-2 can be moved outward, ensuring that the calf island body 2 will not block the sunlight. At the same time, the tray 1-2 extends to the opening end of the base 1, making it convenient for the operator to replace or add hay, thus improving the convenience of using this device.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] Based on Embodiment 1, a drying mechanism 4 for drying hay is provided at the open end of the base 1. The drying mechanism 4 includes a drying rod 4-1 and a drive rod 4-2 arranged parallel to the open end of the base 1. The drying rod 4-1 is away from the closed end of the base 1. The drying rod 4-1 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the drive rod 4-2 is rotatably connected to the base 1.

[0056] Several turning devices 4-3 are arranged in an array on the turning rod 4-1, and several drivers 4-4 are arranged on the drive rod 4-2, with each driver 4-4 corresponding to one of the turning devices 4-3.

[0057] A drive gear 4-5 is provided at one end of the drive rod 4-2. The drive gear 4-5 slides on the outside of the drive rod 4-2. A rack 4-6 is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the rack 1-2 and the rack 4-6 meshes with the drive gear 4-5.

[0058] The drying device 4-3 is U-shaped. A torsion spring is fixedly installed at each end of the open end of the drying device 4-3. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the open end of the drying device 4-3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the drying rod 4-1.

[0059] The driver 4-4 includes a bushing that is fixedly mounted coaxially with the drive rod 4-2. Two arc-shaped levers are arranged circumferentially on the side wall of the bushing, and a reinforcing plate is provided between one end of each lever and the bushing.

[0060] During the movement of pallet 1-2, under the action of pallet rack 4-6, pallet rack 4-6 drives drive gear 4-5 to rotate, drive gear 4-5 drives drive rod 4-2 to rotate, and the rotating drive rod 4-2 drives multiple actuators 4-4 to rotate. When one of the levers of actuator 4-4 contacts the "U"-shaped part of turner 4-3, the rotating lever can press down turner 4-3, so that the closed end of turner 4-3 contacts the lower end of pallet 1-2. As drive rod 4-2 rotates, when the lever separates from turner 4-3, the "U"-shaped part of turner 4-3 springs up under the action of torsion spring, causing the hay on turner 4-3 to move, thereby making the hay on pallet 1-2 fluffy, which is more conducive to sunlight penetrating the hay, thereby improving the dryness of hay.

[0061] A limiting block 4-7 is fixedly installed at each end of the rack, and a bevel is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting block 4-7, with the bevels of the two limiting blocks 4-7 facing each other.

[0062] As the tray 1-2 gradually moves to the open end of the base frame, a limiting block 4-7 near the closed end of the base frame contacts the drive gear 4-5. At this time, as the tray 1-2 gradually moves, the drive gear 4-5 slides on the drive rod 4-2 under the action of the inclined side of the limiting block 4-7. The drive gear 4-5 separates from the tray rack 4-6. During the reset process of the tray 1-2, the drive gear 4-5 will not rotate, so the turner 4-3 will not work. During the reset process of the tray 1-2, the fluffy dry grass placed inside the tray 1-2 will not affect the reset of the turner mechanism 4.

[0063] When the tray 1-2 gradually moves to the closed end of the base 1, a limiter near the open end of the base frame of the tray 1-2 contacts the drive gear 4-5. As the tray 1-2 gradually moves, the drive gear 4-5 slides on the drive rod 4-2 under the action of the inclined side of the limit block 4-7. The drive gear 4-5 meshes with the tray rack 4-6, which facilitates the use of the drying mechanism 4 next time.

[0064] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
