[0002] In the field of modern livestock breeding, cowshed is the key place for cattle habitat and management, and the setting of cattle neck yoke plays a crucial role. The traditional cattle neck yoke has many inconveniences and limitations in practical application.

[0003] The cowshed usually contains a large number of cattle, which need to be frequently switched between free activity and restricted state in the daily breeding management process, such as feeding, drinking, veterinary examination, breeding operation and other links. The traditional cattle neck yoke completely relies on manual operation when releasing or locking cattle. This means that the breeder needs to walk along the cowshed row by row and operate the corresponding cattle neck yoke for each cattle. For large-scale breeding bases, the number of cattle is often in the hundreds or even thousands. Therefore, only the operation of releasing or locking cattle needs to consume a lot of time and energy of the breeder. SUMMARY

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "assembly," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] The following is combined Figs. 1 to 3 This describes a cow neck yoke positioning device according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0033] A cattle neck yoke locking device includes a top rod 1, a bottom rod 2, supporting columns 3, a horizontal movable rod 43, and multiple neck locking modules 4. The bottom rod 2 is horizontally set on the ground. The bottoms of the multiple supporting columns 3 are vertically connected to the bottom rod 2. The top rod 1 is vertically connected to the multiple supporting columns 3. The length direction of the bottom rod 2 is parallel to the length direction of the top rod 1. The horizontal movable rod 43 is movably connected to the top rod 1, and the direction of movement of the horizontal movable rod 43 is the length direction of the top rod 1.

[0034] The top rod 1 has a through hole 11 between two adjacent support columns 3. The through hole 11 vertically penetrates the top and bottom of the top rod 1. The top of the necking module 4 extends out of the through hole 11. The through hole 11 corresponds one-to-one with the necking module 4. The horizontal movable rod 43 abuts against the movable ends of the multiple necking modules 4. The necking module 4 is used to lock or release cattle. The horizontal movable rod 43 is used to adjust the locking or releasing state of the necking module 4.

[0035] A stable frame structure is formed by the horizontally positioned base rod 2 and multiple vertically connected support columns 3 connecting the base rod 2 and the top rod 1. The base rod 2 can evenly distribute the weight of the entire device, allowing it to be placed stably on the ground, while the support columns 3, like a skeleton, support the top rod 1, providing a solid and reliable installation foundation for the necking module 4. This makes the entire device less prone to shaking or tipping, ensuring stable operation over a long period of time and extending the service life of the device.

[0036] The locking or releasing status of multiple neck control modules 4 can be adjusted by pushing the horizontal movable lever 43, making operation quite convenient. Operators do not need to perform complex operations on each neck control module 4 individually; they only need to move the horizontal movable lever 43 to switch the status of the cattle neck control device in batches, greatly saving time and labor costs and solving the problem that traditional cattle neck controls require manual operation of each individual cattle neck control device.

[0037] The necking module 4 includes a movable neck bar 41, a support bar 42, and a limiting component 44;

[0038] The support rod 42 connects the top rod 1 and the bottom rod 2. The support rod 42 is hinged to the middle of the movable neck rod 41. The limiting component 44 is provided between the top of the movable neck rod 41 and the horizontal movable rod 43. The horizontal movable rod 43 movably abuts against the limiting component 44.

[0039] When the horizontal movable rod 43 is moved and abuts against the limiting component 44, the limiting component 44 releases the restriction on the neck rod.

[0040] When the horizontal movable rod 43 is moved in the opposite direction and separated from the limiting component 44, the limiting component 44 restricts the rotation of the neck rod.

[0041] The coordinated design of the movable neck bar 41, the horizontal movable bar 43, and the limiting component 44 allows for flexible adjustment of the neck restraint according to actual conditions. The movable neck bar 41 can rotate appropriately around its hinge point with the support bar 42. When the horizontal movable bar 43 separates from the limiting component 44, the limiting component 44 restricts the movement of the movable neck bar 41, ensuring that the movable neck bar 41 precisely engages the neck of the cow and prevents the cow from breaking free. When the horizontal movable bar 43 abuts against the limiting component 44, the limiting component 44 releases the limiting effect of the movable neck bar 41, causing the movable neck bar 41 to tilt under the action of the cow, ensuring that the cow can perform normal feeding actions.

[0042] Since the horizontal movable rod 43 is in contact with multiple limiting components 44, the staff can easily move the horizontal movable rod 43 to indirectly change the position and angle of the movable neck rod 41, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly locking and releasing cattle and improving the work efficiency of locking and releasing cattle.

[0043] The limiting assembly 44 includes a hinge seat 441, a limiting rod 442, a locking block 443, and an abutment block 445; the hinge seat 441 is installed on the top of the top rod 1, and the middle part of the limiting rod 442 is hinged to the hinge seat 441.

[0044] The top of the movable neck rod 41 is fixedly installed with the snap-fit ​​block 443, which is movably snapped into the bottom of the limiting rod 442. The bottom of the horizontal movable rod 43 is provided with the abutment block 445, which movably abuts against the top of the limiting rod 442.

[0045] When the horizontal movable rod 43 is moved, the bottom surface of the abutment block 445 separates from the top surface of the limiting rod 442, and the bottom surface of the limiting rod 442 engages with the locking block 443; when the horizontal movable rod 43 is moved in the opposite direction, the bottom surface of the abutment block 445 abuts against the top surface of the limiting rod 442, and the bottom surface of the limiting rod 442 separates from the locking block 443.

[0046] The limiting rod 442 in the limiting assembly 44 can rotate flexibly around the hinge point by hinge with the hinge seat 441. The top and bottom ends of the limiting rod 442 cooperate with the abutment block 445 and the locking block 443 respectively to limit the tilt angle of the movable neck rod 41 from multiple angles.

[0047] When the horizontal movable rod 43 is moved, it causes the abutment block 445 to move horizontally, so that the bottom surface of the abutment block 445 abuts against the top surface of the limiting rod 442. At this time, the bottom end of the limiting rod 442 moves upward under the action of the abutment block 445, so that the bottom end of the limiting rod 442 separates from the locking block 443. At this time, the device is in the cattle release state. When the cattle slightly shake their necks or pull more significantly, the movable neck rod 41 can be tilted to ensure that the cattle can eat normally in the cattle release state.

[0048] When the horizontal movable rod 43 is moved in the opposite direction, it causes the abutment block 445 to move horizontally in the opposite direction, causing the top of the abutment block 445 to move away from the top of the limiting rod 442. The bottom of the limiting rod 442 moves downwards under gravity. The operator adjusts the tilt angle of the movable neck rod 41 to make it vertical. At this time, the bottom of the limiting rod 442 abuts against the locking block 443, and the device is in a cattle-locking state, thus accurately locking the cattle's neck and achieving a stable and accurate limiting function. This ensures that each cattle can be properly fixed in the corresponding position, facilitating subsequent feeding and management operations, such as feeding and inspection.

[0049] The snap-fit ​​block 443 is provided with a snap-fit ​​notch, which is located on the side of the snap-fit ​​part near the limiting rod 442. The bottom end of the limiting rod 442 abuts against the snap-fit ​​notch, and the snap-fit ​​block 443 movably abuts against the side wall of the through hole 11.

[0050] The locking notch is located on the side of the locking part near the limiting rod 442. When the bottom of the limiting rod 442 abuts against the locking notch, the side of the locking block 443 away from the locking notch abuts against the side wall corresponding to the through hole 11. This can precisely limit the specific position of the locking block 443 and the movable neck rod 41 in the locked state, thereby achieving high-precision limitation on the tilt angle of the movable neck rod 41, making the locking of the cow neck yoke more accurate, and effectively avoiding the situation where the cow breaks free or is over-restrained due to inaccurate limiting.

[0051] In addition, when the bottom of the limiting rod 442 separates from the locking notch, the side of the locking block 443 near the locking notch abuts against the side wall corresponding to the through hole 11, which can limit the maximum tilt angle of the movable neck rod 41 when the cattle are in the grazing state, providing sufficient activity space for the cattle to eat.

[0052] The support rod 42 includes a first vertical part 446, an inclined part 447, a second vertical part 448, and a horizontal part 449; the bottom of the first vertical part 446 is vertically installed on the base rod 2, the top of the first vertical part 446 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inclined part 447, the top of the inclined part 447 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second vertical part 448, and the top of the second vertical part 448 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top rod 1;

[0053] One end of the horizontal part 449 is fixedly connected to the inclined part 447, and the other end of the horizontal part 449 is hinged to the middle part of the movable neck 41.

[0054] It is worth noting that the support rod 42 in this solution can enhance the continuity and stability of the structure in the vertical dimension, prevent deformation and shaking of the device, and ensure the overall structural reliability of the device.

[0055] The inclined part 447 plays a key role in transition and connection. The top and bottom of the inclined part 447, together with the first vertical part 446 and the second vertical part 448, form a whole, dispersing external forces from multiple angles, allowing the entire support rod 42 to better adapt to complex stress conditions and maintain the stability of the device.

[0056] The horizontal section 449 horizontally connects the inclined section 447 and the movable neck 41, allowing the movable neck 41 to rotate flexibly within a certain range when the cattle are in the herding state. When the cattle apply external force to the movable neck 41, the force is transmitted along the movable neck 41 to the horizontal section 449, which is hinged to it. Since the horizontal section 449 is connected to the inclined section 447, the unique inclination angle of the inclined section 447 can decompose the force transmitted from the horizontal direction into vertical and oblique components. The vertical component can be distributed through the first vertical section 446 and the second vertical section 448 to the bottom rod 2 and the top rod 1, respectively. Therefore, the setting of the support rod 42 can avoid problems such as the bottom rod 2 denting due to excessive force or the top rod 1 bending due to local overload, greatly enhancing the device's ability to withstand external impacts and ensuring the structural integrity of the device during long-term use.

[0057] The inclined portion 447 tilts upwards and away from the movable neck 41.

[0058] Because the inclined part 447 is tilted away from the movable neck bar 41, when the device is in the cattle-grazing state, it can reduce the collision between the movable neck bar 41 and the inclined part 447, thus reducing the cattle's activity space and creating a relatively safe and free feeding environment for the cattle.

[0059] The top of the top rod 1 is provided with multiple support members 12, and the top of the support member 12 is provided with a ring 13. The horizontal movable rod 43 passes horizontally through the multiple rings 13. The through hole 11 of the top rod 1 and the neck module 4 are both located between two adjacent rings 13.

[0060] The rings 13 at the top of the multiple support members 12 provide a clear movement track for the horizontal movable rod 43. The horizontal movable rod 43 passes horizontally through these rings 13. The multiple rings 13 serve as guides, effectively preventing the horizontal movable rod 43 from deviating left or right or swaying up and down during movement. This ensures that each movement of the horizontal movable rod 43 accurately drives the multiple neck locking modules 4 to make corresponding adjustments, improving the convenience and efficiency of operation for farmers and quickly achieving precise adjustment of the cattle neck yoke position.

[0061] The bottom of the movable neck 41 is provided with a gravity block 46, which is heavier than the locking block 443.

[0062] The gravity block 46 is heavier than the locking block 443, which allows the movable neck bar 41 to remain in a relatively stable and specific position when not subjected to other external forces. For example, if the cattle briefly stop moving or no external force is applied to the movable neck bar 41, the movable neck bar 41 will quickly return to a vertical position under the influence of the gravity block 46. At this time, the bottom of the limiting rod 442 also moves downward under the action of gravity, so that the bottom of the limiting rod 442 engages with the locking block 443, thus locking the cattle.

[0063] Furthermore, during the breeding process, cattle inevitably engage in some vigorous activities, such as struggling and shaking their necks, which exert external forces of varying directions and magnitudes on the movable neck bar 41. The heavier gravity block 46, through its own inertia and gravity, effectively resists these external forces, maintaining the stability of the movable neck bar 41 and the entire neck-locking module 4. During the locking process, even if the external forces exerted by the cattle attempt to change the tilt angle of the movable neck bar 41, the gravity block 46 can still provide a certain degree of counterbalancing, preventing the movable neck bar 41 from easily deviating from its normal working position and angle range, thus ensuring the accuracy and continuity of neck restraint.

[0064] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
