One end of the spring 7 is fixed to the sleeve 11, and the other end of the spring 7 is fixed to the vertical rod 1.1. The limit rod 5 is "L" shaped, and one end of the trigger rod 6 is fixed to one end of the limit rod 5. The trigger rod 6 and the limit rod 5 can be rotatably connected with the vertical plate 9 by rotating the sleeve 11 on the shaft 12. After the trigger rod 6 and the limit rod 5 are moved from the inclined state of the initial position to the vertical state, the elastic force of the spring 7 can be used to reset them to the initial position;
[0035] There are two contact switches 8, which are fixed on both sides of the front plate surface of the vertical plate 9 respectively. The contact switch 8 in the opposite direction of the trigger rod 6 is fixed on the crossbeam 10. The contact switch 8 is connected in series with the switch circuit of the motor 2. There are two contact switches 8, except for the contact switch 8 in the opposite direction of the trigger rod 6, and the other contact switch 8 is close to the trigger rod 6;

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the sheep or other animals or livestock stretch their necks into the channel 21 and lower their heads, touching the trigger rod 6 downward, and the limit rod 5 rotates to above the channel 21, and the limit rod 5 also leaves the contact switch 8 close to the trigger rod 6. The motor 2 is energized, and the output shaft of the motor 2 rotates to the other side, so that the pressure plate 15 of the trigger body 4 is pressed on the contact switch 8 close to the trigger rod 6. At the same time, the push rod 14 of the trigger body 4 supports the limit rod 5 and locks it above the channel 21, so that the necks of the sheep or other animals or livestock cannot stretch out of the channel 21, and the position is limited.
[0040] When unlocking, the output shaft of the motor 2 is rotated and reset, so that the connecting rod 13 of the trigger body 4 is pressed back on the contact switch 8 away from the trigger rod 6, and the push rod 14 of the trigger body 4 no longer presses against the limit rod 5. The limit rod 5 can be rotated away from the top of the channel 21 by the elastic force of the spring 7, and the unlocking can be achieved.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, an animal neck limiting device 20 has the same overall structure as that of embodiment 1, except that the trigger rod 6 and the limiting rod 5 are separately arranged, the trigger rod 6 is arc-shaped, specifically a "C" shape in a vertical state, and the bottom end of the trigger rod 6 forms a horizontal hook shape, which can hook the adjacent vertical rod 1.1 to avoid excessive upward rotation due to being pulled by the spring 7, and at least keep the middle position in the channel 21;
[0043] The limit rod 5 is slidably connected to the cross bar 1.2 through a sleeve 16 sleeved on the cross bar 1.2. Two positioning pins 17 are fixed on the limit rod 5. The limit rod 5 is fixed on the sleeve 16. The limit rod 5 can move on the cross bar 1.2 through the sleeve 16 and move to the top of the channel 21. In order to ensure stable movement, a sleeve coaxial with the limit rod 5 can also be fixed on the vertical rod 1.1 so that the limit rod 5 passes through the sleeve.

[0045] The middle part of the lever 19 can be made of a spring. When sheep or other animals or livestock stretch their necks into the channel 21, there is a risk of being hit by the limit rod 5. The spring can bend the lever 19, and the limit rod 5 can retreat to avoid hurting the sheep or other animals or livestock.
[0046] The other end of the spring 7 is fixed to the vertical plate 9 .
[0047] The use process of this embodiment 2 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, first, the output shaft of the motor 2 rotates to one side, the lever 19 pushes the limit rod 5 away from the top of the channel 21, and a trigger plate 18 (the first trigger plate 18) of the trigger body 4 presses on the contact switch 8 away from the trigger rod 6. Under the horizontal pulling action of the spring 7, the middle part of the trigger rod 6 rotates upward and is placed in the channel 21, and one end of the trigger rod 6 presses on the contact switch 8 close to the trigger rod 6, and the motor 2 stops.
[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, the sheep or other animals or livestock stretch their necks into the channel 21 and lower their heads, touching the trigger rod 6 downward, and one end of the trigger rod 6 leaves the contact switch 8 close to the trigger rod 6. The motor 2 is energized, and the output shaft of the motor 2 rotates to the other side, so that the other trigger plate 18 (the second trigger plate 18) of the trigger body 4 is pressed on the contact switch 8 close to the trigger rod 6. At the same time, the lever 19 of the trigger body 4 drives the limit rod 5 to move above the channel 21, so that the necks of the sheep or other animals or livestock cannot stretch out of the channel 21, and the position is limited.
[0049] When unlocking, the output shaft of the motor 2 is rotated and reset, so that the first trigger plate 18 of the trigger body 4 is pressed back on the contact switch 8 away from the trigger rod 6, and the lever 19 of the trigger body 4 drives the limit rod 5 to reset and move away from the channel 21, and the trigger rod 6 is also reset by the elastic force of the spring 7, and the unlocking can be achieved.
