Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dairy cow breeding equipment, and more specifically, particularly relates to a highly efficient intelligent gate fence for dairy cows to collect milk. Background Art

[0002] Dairy farming equipment is a general term for various special machines and internal facilities used in dairy farms, mainly including tethering, feeding, drinking water, manure removal, milking, milk cooling, milk delivery and other equipment, as well as cream separators, etc. Smart gate is an intelligent access control system built by modern technology. It uses high-tech hardware and software to achieve perfect control of the access control system.

[0003] The principle of the smart gate is based on the integration of induction technology and radio frequency identification technology. It can accurately identify the identity, thereby ensuring the security of the access control system, and will also record the entry and exit time for subsequent inquiries. Most of the existing gates for cows to collect milk require workers to move the movable plug rod to insert it into the jack to fix the gate when it is closed. The movable plug rod is usually set at a position of the gate close to the rear fence and away from the front fence. Workers standing on the pedestrian walkway cannot reach the movable plug rod at all. They need to walk to the side of the gate away from the milking channel to move the movable plug rod, which is troublesome and requires manual opening and closing of the gate, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, an efficient smart gate for cows to collect milk is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

While the gear drives the gate fence fixedly installed with the rack to move toward the underground groove, the controller controls the electric push rod to pull up the swing rod, and the protective gate fence fixedly installed on the swing rod is also pulled up, so that the cows can enter from the protective gate fence;

[0015] When a cow walks onto the weighing platform between the protective gate and the access gate, a signal indicating the weight increase on the weighing platform is transmitted to the controller, and the controller controls the electric drive mechanism to lower and raise the gate lifting mechanism, and at the same time, the electric push rod extends to lower the swing rod, and the protective gate blocks the next cow that wants to enter. When a cow walks off the weighing platform fixed on the ground between the protective gate and the access gate, a signal indicating the weight reduction on the weighing platform is transmitted to the controller, and the controller controls the electric drive mechanism to lower the gate lifting mechanism, and the cow walks out of the access gate, and another cow walks into the protective gate and onto the weighing platform.

[0016] When the cows walk onto the weighing platform for weighing, the counter installed on the weighing platform and the temperature probe installed on the door body will also record the number of cows passing through and measure the temperature at the same time. The anti-pinch sensor on the door body and the emergency stop buttons installed on both sides of the door body can ensure that obstacles or dangerous conditions are detected in time during the passage of cows to prevent cows from being pinched or equipment from being damaged, and perform an emergency stop when necessary.

In order to solve the problem that most of the existing gate fences for milking cows need to rely on workers to open and close the gate fences, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the invention proposes an efficient and intelligent gate fence for milking cows. By setting a controller, a gate fence lifting mechanism and an electric drive mechanism, when the cow needs to go to milk, the cow walks to the protective threshold, and the controller is operated to control the electric drive mechanism to open the threshold lifting mechanism. When the rotating shaft on the motor rotates, it drives the gear to rotate, thereby causing the rack to move. While the gear drives the gate fence fixedly installed with the rack to move to the underground groove, the controller controls the electric push rod to pull up the swing rod, and the protective gate fence fixedly installed on the swing rod is also pulled up, so that the cow can enter from the protective gate fence, thereby realizing the automation of gate fence lifting and lowering, without relying on manual operation to open and close the gate fence, saving time and labor, and allowing each cow to enter the protective gate fence individually, and weighing, counting and measuring the temperature of each cow entering, thereby realizing orderly information collection of the cows.Specifically, an efficient and intelligent gate for collecting milk from dairy cows includes a gate body 1, an access gate 2 is arranged in the door body 1, gate fence lifting mechanisms 3 are installed on both sides of the access gate 2, the gate fence lifting mechanism 3 is composed of a gear 4 and a rack 5, and an electric drive mechanism 10 is composed of a motor 11 and a rotating shaft 12, and the motor 11 is connected to the gear 4 through the rotating shaft 12; a controller 7 is installed on the door body 1, and self-locking structures 21 are installed on both sides of the door body 1, and the self-locking structure 21 is automatically locked when the access gate 2 is fully raised or fully lowered to the underground groove 18, so as to prevent the motor 11 from driving the gear 4 to make the rack 5 on the access gate 2 always The door body 1 is continuously reciprocating, a fixed rod 13 is fixedly installed on the door body 1, a swing rod 15 is hinged on the door body 1, the fixed rod 13 and the swing rod 15 are connected by an electric push rod 14, and a protective gate 16 is fixedly installed on one end of the swing rod 15. When the cow needs to collect milk, the cow walks to the protective gate 16, and the controller 7 controls the electric drive mechanism 10 to open the gate lifting mechanism 3. When the rotating shaft 12 on the motor 11 rotates, it drives the gear 4 to rotate, thereby causing the rack 5 to move.

When a cow walks down from the weighing platform 8 fixedly installed on the ground 6 between the protective gate 16 and the access gate 2, a signal of the weight reduction on the weighing platform 8 is transmitted to the controller 7. The controller 7 controls the electric drive mechanism 10 to descend the gate lifting mechanism 3, and the cow walks out of the access gate 2, and another cow walks into the protective gate 16 and walks onto the weighing platform 8, thereby realizing the automation of gate lifting and lowering, without relying on manual opening and closing of the gate, saving time and effort.
