Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to an adjustable livestock pen. Background Technology
[0002] Livestock pens refer to the fences or enclosures used for raising livestock in animal husbandry. These pens are usually designed and divided according to the type, size and feeding needs of the livestock, providing them with appropriate living space and feeding environment. The setting of livestock pens helps to manage and protect livestock, ensuring their health and safety.
[0003] For example, patent document CN221598891U discloses an adjustable livestock pen, belonging to the field of livestock breeding technology. It includes a first guardrail with a protective shell fixedly connected to one side. In this invention, a second guardrail is driven by a drive motor to move relative to the first guardrail, thereby adjusting the length of the guardrail and increasing its extensibility. This allows the livestock farm to flexibly adjust the space according to the growth or number of livestock, thus making more effective use of available space. Pulling the buckle upwards causes it to rotate around the top of the connecting rod three until it is disengaged from the fixed rod two, allowing the feed trough to be removed from the fixed plate for quick cleaning.
[0004] However, this device can only adjust the length laterally, not the height longitudinally. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, both the first and second sub-boards have reserved openings on the side away from the main board.
[0012] Preferably, the two main boards have several through slots, all of which pass through the limiting plate and the sliding plate.
[0013] The beneficial effects are as follows: during the relative movement of the first and second auxiliary plates of the device, the limiting plate and the sliding plate also slide relative to each other to limit the limiting plate and the sliding plate and prevent them from separating from each other. At the same time, the first and second auxiliary plates will extend and retract synchronously, thereby adjusting the lateral length of the enclosure. Afterwards, after pulling the two first pull rods upwards to the appropriate height, the bolts are inserted through the through holes on the sides of the first and second auxiliary plates into the fixing holes on both sides of the first and second pull rods to fix the height of the first and second pull rods, thereby adjusting the longitudinal height of the enclosure.
