Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of livestock loading and unloading, and more particularly to livestock loading and unloading equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the livestock industry, livestock loading and unloading is an indispensable part of daily operations and is directly related to breeding efficiency and livestock safety.

[0003] Traditional livestock loading and unloading methods rely heavily on manual labor, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient. This is especially true when loading and unloading live livestock, where manual labor struggles to meet the demands for efficient and rapid loading and unloading. Other methods rely on simple mechanical equipment, such as cranes and forklifts, which often lack safety measures for the animals and are prone to falling during the loading and unloading process. Frequent loading and unloading operations, especially in large-scale farms, incur significant labor and time costs. Furthermore, these methods lack sufficient flexibility to accommodate different types, sizes, and numbers of livestock. This often requires the coordinated use of multiple devices, increasing operational complexity and costs.

[0004] Although existing loading and unloading equipment has made great progress in function and performance, the equipment structure is complex and requires joint control through multiple drive mechanisms.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a loading and unloading device that can realize the loading and unloading of livestock by using a single drive control and can ensure the safety of the livestock is a problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0009] A frame, wherein a car is slidably connected to the inner side of the frame, and the car is a box structure with an open top and an entrance and an exit formed on two opposite side walls;

[0010] A lifting mechanism includes a driving unit, a movable pulley group, a fixed pulley group and a traction rope group. The driving unit is installed on the frame, the movable pulley group is installed on the power output end of the driving unit, and the fixed pulley group is installed on the top of the frame. One end of the traction rope group is fixed to the four corners of the top of the car, and the other end passes through the fixed pulley group and the movable pulley group in sequence and is fixed to the frame. The driving unit can drive the car to move up and down along the vertical direction of the frame.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the utility model provides a livestock loading and unloading equipment, which realizes vertical loading and unloading of livestock through the design of the frame and the car; the top opening and the entrance and exit design on both sides of the car are convenient for livestock to enter and exit; the setting of the lifting mechanism enables the car to move up and down along the frame to meet the loading and unloading requirements of different heights. The utility model has a simple structure and can realize loading and unloading through a single drive control, effectively ensuring the safety of livestock during the loading and unloading process and improving the loading and unloading efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, in the livestock handling equipment described above, the driving unit is a hydraulic cylinder, the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder being fixed with a mounting base, and the movable pulley assembly includes a first movable pulley, a second movable pulley, a third movable pulley, and a fourth movable pulley mounted on top of the mounting base.

[0016] Preferably, in the above-mentioned livestock loading and unloading equipment, one end of the second traction rope and the third traction rope close to the car is located between the two connecting short rods.

[0017] Preferably, in the livestock loading and unloading equipment, the entrance and the exit are hinged with switch doors. The switch doors at the entrance and the exit can control the entry and exit of livestock during loading and unloading, prevent livestock from escaping, and ensure the safety of the loading and unloading process.

[0018] Preferably, in the livestock loading and unloading equipment described above, universal wheels are mounted on the bottom of the frame. The universal wheels mounted on the bottom of the frame allow the entire loading and unloading equipment to be easily moved and positioned, facilitating loading and unloading operations at different locations, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment, and reducing the labor intensity of installation and movement.
