Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of agricultural and sideline food processing, in particular to a one-way livestock passage. Background Art
[0002] Nowadays, livestock slaughtering is mostly carried out on automated production lines, and the first step in the entire operation is to drive the livestock to be slaughtered into the electric anesthesia equipment for electric anesthesia and stunning.
[0003] For this process, a channel is currently used to guide livestock into the electric anesthesia equipment. In the process of guiding and driving the livestock to move in the channel, some livestock may stagnate or even move backward, which will cause congestion in the entire channel, causing chaos and making it impossible to carry out subsequent processes. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a one-way livestock passage, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background technology. To achieve this purpose, the specific technical solution is as follows:
[0005] A one-way livestock passage has a movable guide installed inside the passage, and the guide extends obliquely along the forward direction of the passage, thereby forming a funnel-shaped one-way passage. A limit block is provided inside the passage for limiting the reverse rotation angle of the guide.
[0006] Furthermore, the guide portion is a stick-shaped structure and is embedded inside the channel in a hinged manner.
[0007] Furthermore, an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the deflection angle of the guide portion is provided inside the channel.
[0008] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism is a screw-slider transmission mechanism installed inside the channel, and the slider is fixed to the guide part through an elastic member.
[0009] Furthermore, the guide part is provided with several conductive parts, and a switch that can be triggered by the guide part is provided on the limit block. The conductive parts are electrically connected to the positive and negative poles of the power supply respectively. The above circuit is turned on when the switch is closed and the surface of the livestock simultaneously contacts the conductive parts on the positive and negative poles of the power supply.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0011] (1) The utility model sets a funnel-shaped one-way channel inside the channel so that the livestock in the channel can only move forward. At the same time, the guide parts arranged at intervals also serve as partitions, so that congestion will not occur in the channel.
[0012] (2) The deflection angle of the guide portion of the present invention can be adjusted by an adjustment mechanism, thereby changing the distance between the guide portions on both sides to match the body shapes of different livestock.
[0013] (3) The utility model is provided with an electric stimulation device on the guide part. When the livestock retreats a certain distance, the electric stimulation device is activated to give the livestock a certain amount of electric stimulation, prompting the livestock to continue moving forward.

[0019] In order to solve the problem that livestock may retreat in existing channels, the present application installs a movable guide part 2 on the inside of the channel 1, and the guide part 2 extends obliquely along the forward direction of the channel, thereby forming a funnel-shaped one-way channel. A limit block 3 is provided inside the channel 1 to limit the reverse rotation angle of the guide part 2. When the livestock moves forward, the guide part 2 can rotate smoothly to allow the livestock to pass through. When the livestock retreats, the guide part 2 is blocked by the limit block 3 and cannot open backward, thereby preventing the livestock from retreating.
[0020] In the above scheme, the guide part 2 can adopt various forms, such as a plate-like structure, a fence-like structure, a stick-like structure and other structures with a blocking function, but the guide part 2 adopts a stick-like structure and is embedded in the inner side of the channel 1 by a hinged manner. The scheme is the preferred scheme, because the guide part 2 with a stick-like structure has less obstruction to the livestock's line of sight and can effectively prevent the livestock from stagnation due to obstacles.
[0021] In order to make this application suitable for the passage of livestock of different sizes, an adjustment mechanism 4 for adjusting the deflection angle of the guide part 2 is also provided inside the channel 1. By changing the deflection angle of the guide part 2, the distance between the guide parts 2 on both sides is changed, thereby matching livestock of different sizes. The specific structure is that the adjustment mechanism 4 is a screw slider transmission mechanism installed inside the channel 1, and its slider is fixed to the guide part 2 by an elastic member. When the on-site staff rotates the turntable outside the channel 1, the screw in the channel 1 drives the slider to move, and then the slider drives the guide part 2 to wake up and deflect. The elastic member between the slider and the guide part 2 is preferably a spring, because the spring has good elastic deformation ability, which can ensure that the guide part 2 is quickly reset after being deflected by force.
[0022] To further increase the speed at which livestock pass through the passage, the present application further provides several conductive portions 5 on the guide portion 2, and a switch 6, which can be triggered by the guide portion 2, on the limit block 3. The conductive portions 5 are electrically connected to the positive and negative poles of the power supply, respectively. This circuit is turned on when the switch 6 is closed and the livestock's body surface simultaneously contacts the conductive portions 5 on the positive and negative poles of the power supply. That is, when the livestock in the passage retreats, it drives the guide portion 2 in the opposite direction. When the portion of the guide portion 2 located within the passage 1 contacts the switch 6, the power supply, the switch 6, the conductive portions 5 on the positive and negative poles of the power supply, and the livestock's skin in contact with the conductive portions 5 on the positive and negative poles of the power supply form a complete closed circuit. At this point, the livestock's skin is stimulated by the current, prompting it to move forward.
[0023] When the livestock moves forward, the guide part 2 is reset under the action of the elastic member, and the entire circuit is disconnected.
[0024] The conductive part 5 can be made of conductive material, the switch 6 can be a contact switch, and the power supply should be a low-voltage power supply, preferably a power supply with an output specification of no more than 24V and 10mA, to avoid excessive electrical stimulation reaction in livestock.
