[0002] Currently, animal husbandry refers to the production process of using the physiological functions of animals that have been artificially raised and domesticated by humans, such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, through artificial feeding and breeding, so that they can convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal materials. For example, cattle are a crucial part of animal husbandry.
[0003] In livestock farming, during the subsequent milking and slaughtering processes, it is often necessary to clamp and limit the head of cattle to ensure the safety of the operators and to perform subsequent tasks to obtain energy from the animals. Therefore, a livestock limiting device with a self-locking structure has been proposed.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned solutions in actual production and implementation, modifications and improvements have been made. At the same time, in the spirit and concept of seeking the best, with the assistance of professional knowledge and experience, and after much ingenuity and experimentation, this utility model was created. It is provided to provide a livestock limiting device with a self-locking structure, which is used to solve the problem in the current livestock breeding process of cattle and other animals. In order to ensure the safety of the operator, it is often necessary to lock and limit the head of the cattle and perform corresponding follow-up work to obtain the animal's energy during subsequent milking and slaughter operations. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model proposes a livestock limiting device with a self-locking structure, which solves the problem in the prior art that, in the process of raising cattle and other animals, it is often necessary to clamp and limit the head of the cattle and perform corresponding follow-up work to obtain energy during subsequent milking and slaughter operations in order to ensure the safety of the operator.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the livestock limiting device with a self-locking structure includes: a support frame 1, the cross-section of the support frame 1 is a tubular structure, and a clamping tube 3 is installed inside the support frame 1;
[0024] The main body of the clamping tube 3 has a concave structure, which is used to limit the animal's head. A rotating shaft assembly 301 is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the clamping tube 3. There are two rotating shaft assemblies 301, which are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the outer circumferential surface of the clamping tube 3, respectively. External threads are provided on the outer circumferential surface of both rotating shaft assemblies 301. Nuts 302 are screwed onto the outer side of each rotating shaft assembly 301. Connecting plates 303 are rotatably connected to the outer side of both rotating shaft assemblies 301. 3. The limit is tightened by the nut 302. A clamping plate 304 is fixedly connected to the side of the two connecting plates 303 away from the rotating shaft assembly 301. The clamping plate 304 is a rectangular plate structure. There are two guide frames 202, and the two guide frames 202 are arranged opposite to each other. A serrated plate 203 is fixedly connected in a straight array on the top surface of the two guide frames 202. The cross section of the serrated plate 203 is a triangular structure. The serrated plate 203 and the guide frame 202 together form a guiding and limiting structure for the clamping plate 304.
[0025] The right side of the support frame 1 is fixedly connected to a connector 101, which is perpendicular to the support frame 1. The connector 101 has two through holes arranged in a linear array inside, which are connection holes 102. The inner side of the support frame 1 is fixedly connected to a reinforcing tube 2.
[0026] Among them, the reinforcing tube 2 is arranged longitudinally, and a partition 201 is fixedly connected between the reinforcing tube 2 and the support frame 1. There are two partitions 201, which are arranged opposite to each other and are used to reinforce the support frame 1. A guide frame 202 is fixedly connected to the outside of the support frame 1 and the reinforcing tube 2. The guide frame 202 is arranged laterally.
[0027] In use, firstly, the entire limiting device is installed in a designated position, such as the milking or slaughtering area in a cowshed, using bolts through the connector 101 and connecting hole 102 on the right side of the support frame 1, to ensure that the device is stable and fixed. Then, when it is necessary to limit the head of the cow, the cow is guided to the clamping tube 3, and the concave structure of the clamping tube 3 is used to clamp the head of the cow, thus initially limiting the range of movement of the cow's head.
[0028] After the cow's head is in place, the rotating shaft assembly 301 is fixed to the front and rear sides of the outer circumference of the clamping tube 3, and the rotating shaft assembly 301 is screwed with a nut 302 on its outer side. It is also rotatably connected to the connecting plate 303. By rotating the nut 302, the position of the connecting plate 303 relative to the rotating shaft assembly 301 can be adjusted. Based on the size of the cow's head and the actual limiting requirements, after adjusting the connecting plate 303 to a suitable position, the nut 302 is tightened to fix the connecting plate 303. A clamping plate 304 is fixed to the side of the connecting plate 303 away from the rotating shaft assembly 301. As the position of the connecting plate 303 is determined, the clamping plate 304 is also adjusted to a suitable position, further limiting the cow's head from both sides to prevent large left-right swaying. The supporting frame 1... Two opposing guide frames 202 are fixed to the outside of the reinforcing tube 2. When the clamping tube 3 is in use, it needs to be rotated and swung to the right around the support frame 1. The top surface of the guide frame 202 is fixedly connected to the serrated plate 203 in a straight array. During the adjustment of the position of the clamping plate 304, the clamping plate 304 slides along the guide frame 202. The serrated plate 203 plays a guiding and limiting role, ensuring that the clamping plate 304 can only move on the specified path. At the same time, the triangular structure of the serrated plate 203 makes the clamping plate 304 lock between the serrations after it moves to the appropriate position, forming a certain self-locking effect. Even if the nut 302 becomes loose, the clamping plate 304 will not easily move, further ensuring the stability of the limit on the bull's head.
[0029] The reinforcing tube 2 is arranged longitudinally on the inner side of the support frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the support frame 1 by two opposing partitions 201. The reinforcing tube 2 and the partitions 201 together enhance the structural strength of the support frame 1, so that it can remain stable when subjected to external forces such as the struggle of the cow, and will not easily deform or be damaged, thereby ensuring the reliability of the entire limiting device.
