[0021] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0022] 1. The cow feeding system and milking system used in combination are provided with a feeding component and a feeding component for use in combination. When the cow is eating, the cow's front legs step on the pedal on the feeding component, and the pedal is compressed downward. During the downward compression of the pedal, the shear frame is squeezed and the spring damper is compressed. This is because the upper pedal moves downward, driving the sliding block to slide inside the slide groove from the side away from the feeding trough to the side close to the feeding trough. During the sliding process, the setting of the slide groove and the limit groove ensures the stable trajectory of the sliding block during the pedal movement. The use of the limit groove and the limit column is helpful to control the movement of the sliding block. The movable range is controlled to stabilize the movement of the sliding block in the slide slot, avoid its lateral shaking, and improve the accuracy of the movement. Then, the connecting rod that gradually moves downward drives the rotating rod on the other side to rotate during the movement, and then drives the blocking plate to rotate to open and close the feed slot, so as to release and block the feed. When the cow finishes eating and milking and leaves the pedal, it gradually resets under the action of the spring damper, and then drives the rotating rod, connecting rod and sliding block to reset, and closes the feed again. The operation can be repeated. Through automation and precise control of the feeding process, the feeding of cattle can be managed more effectively, the utilization rate of feed can be improved, and thus better economic benefits can be brought.

[0023] 2. The cow feeding system and milking system used in combination are provided with auxiliary components. The lifting and lowering of the first pull rope and the second pull rope in the auxiliary components can be individually adjusted according to the body shape of the cow, so as to better adapt to the characteristics of different cows. With the adjustment of the first pull rope and the second pull rope, the wrapping pad begins to cling to the abdomen or other parts of the cow, completing the auxiliary fixed positioning of the cow. During this process, the movement of the wrapping pad is smooth and moderate, which not only provides sufficient support, but also ensures the comfort of the cow. In addition, it ensures a certain degree of upward pulling, but this pulling force is carefully controlled and will not interfere with the normal eating of the cow.

[0024] 3. The cow feeding system and milking system used in combination are provided with a positioning component, a first slide rail and a first track in the positioning component, and a second slide rail and a second track, which are driven by a servo motor and work together to achieve precise lateral and vertical adjustment of the mechanical arm. The mechanical arm is designed to be curved, and a fixed plate is installed on one side to connect with a transmission rod, which drives the mechanical arm to rotate and adjust the angle, so that the working process of the entire positioning component can automatically adjust the lateral and vertical positions of the mechanical arm to adjust the position of the milking cup without affecting the normal feeding of the cow, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of milking. It can not only meet the requirements of efficient milking, but also take into account the comfort of the cows, ensuring that the milking process has the least impact on the cows.

The rod 19 and the blocking plates 20 arranged on both sides of the rotating rod 19, one end of the rotating rod 19 passes through the feeding box 17, and a connecting rod 16 is rotatably installed on one side of the pedal 6 and is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating rod 19; an auxiliary component, the auxiliary component is fixedly installed on the top of the outer frame 1, and two wrapping pads 30 for assisting cattle positioning are arranged below the auxiliary component; a positioning component, the positioning component is arranged on a side of the outer frame 1 where the entry gate 2 is not arranged, and the positioning component includes a mechanical arm 37 for milking, a first slide rail 31 for adjusting the lateral position of the mechanical arm 37, a first slider 33 slidably installed on the first slide rail 31, a second slide rail for adjusting the vertical position of the mechanical arm 37, a second slider 35 slidably installed on the second slide rail, and a transmission rod 36 for adjusting the angle of the mechanical arm 37, the first slide rail 31 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer frame 1, the second slide rail is arranged on the other side of the first slider 33, a servo motor is fixedly installed on the other side of the second slider 35, and the transmission rod 36 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor, wherein Two axially symmetrical diagonal braces 3 are respectively arranged in the middle of the top of the outer frame 1, and four cylinders 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the top of the outer frame 1 and one side of the two diagonal braces 3, and the output ends of the four cylinders 4 are all provided with U-shaped blocks 5 that are rotatably connected to the top of the entry gate 2, and a feed inlet is arranged above the storage box 17, and a baffle 21 is arranged at one end of the storage box 17 close to the outer frame 1, and the baffle 21 is arranged at an angle, and a gap is left between the top of the baffle 21 and one side of the storage box 17, and side panels 22 are respectively arranged on both sides of the baffle 21;

[0042] When feeding and milking cows, first drive the cows into the outer frame 1, and then close the three-sided entry gates 2 through the cylinder 4. At this time, the cow's front legs step on the pedal 6 on the feeding assembly, and the pedal 6 is compressed downward, driving the connecting rod 16 to control the rotating rod 19 to rotate. The blocking plates 20 on both sides of the rotating rod 19 will release the blockage of the feeding trough, allowing the feed to fall from the feeding trough in the feeding box 17 to the feeding trough 18. When the pedal 6 is compressed, the driven rotating rod 19 rotates 180 degrees, thereby driving the blocking plate 20 to re-block and stop the feed from falling. When the cow is inside the outer frame 1, it is always on the upper end of the pedal 6. During the feeding period of the cow, no excess feed will fall. Only when the cow is When the cow leaves, the rotating rod 19 will be reset to drop part of the feed, and the next cow will step in and drop part of the feed, and this will be repeated for quantitative feeding. During the cow's eating, the two wrapping pads 30 on the auxiliary component will wrap the cow's abdomen and other parts and pull it upward to a certain extent, but it will not affect the cow's normal eating. At this time, the positioning component will be adjusted according to the measured image and distance. During the movement of the positioning component at this time, the first slide rail 31, the second slide rail and the transmission rod 36 are set to enable the mechanical arm 37 to be flexibly adjusted in the horizontal, vertical and angular directions, so that it can adapt to cows of different sizes and udder shapes and improve the adaptability and efficiency of milking.

[0043] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, a double-layer structure of the pedal 6 is arranged, a shear frame 7 is arranged between the two layers of the pedal 6, the middle part of the shear frame 7 is rotatably installed by being provided with a rotating shaft 8, a spring damper 9 is rotatably installed on one side of the shear frame 7, a slide groove 10 is also arranged on one side of the pedal 6, and a limiting groove 11 is also provided on the upper and lower sides of the slide groove 10, a sliding block 12 is slidably installed inside the slide groove 10, and limiting columns 13 with a "T"-shaped cross section are arranged at both ends of the sliding block 12, and a connecting block 14 is also sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding block 12, and a rotating block 15 is arranged on the top of one side of the connecting block 14, one side of the connecting rod 16 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 15, and the other side is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating rod 19, the overall width of the two blocking plates 20 is adapted to the width of the feed trough, and the lifting stroke of the shear frame 7 is adapted to the sliding stroke of the sliding block 12 in the slide groove 10;

[0044] When the cow is eating, the cow's front legs step on the pedal 6 on the feeding assembly, and the pedal 6 is compressed downward. During the downward compression of the pedal 6, the shear frame 7 is squeezed and the spring damper 9 is compressed. This is because the upper pedal 6 moves downward, driving the sliding block 12 to slide inside the slide groove 10 from the side away from the feeding trough 18 to the side close to the feeding trough 18. During the sliding process, the setting of the slide groove 10 and the limit groove 11 ensures the stable trajectory of the sliding block 12 during the movement of the pedal 6. The use of the limit groove 11 in conjunction with the limit column 13 helps The movement range of the sliding block 12 is controlled, and the movement of the sliding block 12 in the slide groove 10 is stabilized to avoid its lateral shaking, thereby improving the accuracy of the movement. Then, the connecting rod 16 that gradually moves downward drives the rotating rod 19 on the other side to rotate during the movement, thereby driving the rotation of the blocking plate 20 to open and close the feed trough, and to feed and block the feed. When the cow finishes eating and milking and leaves the pedal 6, it gradually resets under the action of the spring damper 9, thereby driving the rotating rod 19, the connecting rod 16 and the sliding block 12 to reset, and the feeding and closing are performed again, and the operation can be repeated.

[0045] like Figure 2 , Fig. 9 As shown, the auxiliary component includes a rotating motor 24 for providing power, a transmission box 23 for transmitting the power of the rotating motor 24, and a rotating rod 25 fixedly connected to one side of the transmission box 23.

Two wrapping pads 30 are respectively provided between the two first pull ropes 27 and between the second pull ropes 29.

[0046] The rotating motor 24 drives the transmission box 23, causing the transmission box 23 to produce corresponding movement. The movement of the transmission box 23 is further transmitted to the rotating rod 25, causing the rotating rod 25 to rotate. This rotational movement drives two different rope systems: a first rope segment 26 and a second rope segment 28. The first rope segment 26 is driven by the rotation of the rotating rod 25, and the first pull rope 27 connected thereto begins to stretch or tighten. This telescopic movement is directly controlled by the power of the transmission box 23, so that the first pull rope 27 can be flexibly adjusted according to system requirements, driving the wrapping pad 30 to move. At the same time, the second rope segment 28 also moves during this process. The second rope segment 28 The second pull rope 29 on the upper portion also drives the wrapping pad 30 to move. The lifting and lowering of the first pull rope 27 and the second pull rope 29 can be individually adjusted according to the body shape of the cow, so as to better adapt to the characteristics of different cows. With the adjustment of the first pull rope 27 and the second pull rope 29, the wrapping pad 30 begins to cling to the abdomen or other parts of the cow, completing the auxiliary fixed positioning of the cow. During this process, the movement of the wrapping pad 30 is smooth and moderate, which not only provides sufficient support, but also ensures the comfort of the cow. In addition, it ensures a certain degree of upward pulling, but this pulling force is carefully controlled and will not interfere with the normal eating of the cow.

[0047] like Figure 2 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 As shown, a first horizontal crawler 32 is arranged on the inner side of the first slide rail 31, and the first crawler 32 is also used in conjunction with the first slider 33.

The mechanical arm 37 is arranged in a curved shape, and a fixed plate 38 is fixedly installed on one side of the mechanical arm 37 and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transmission rod 36.

[0048] The first slide rail 31 and the first crawler 32, as well as the second slide rail and the second crawler 34, are driven by a servo motor and work together to achieve precise lateral and vertical adjustment of the robot arm 37. The robot arm 37 is designed to be curved, with a fixed plate 38 installed on one side connected to the transmission rod 36, driving the robot arm 37 to rotate and adjust the angle, while a plurality of milking cups 40 are arranged on the other side to fix the cow's udder through negative pressure adsorption to achieve efficient milking.
