[0025] In one of the embodiments, the guide door has a right trapezoidal shape, the guide door comprises a door leaf guide part, the door leaf guide part is located at the upper part of the guide door, and the door leaf guide part extends upwardly and downwardly away from the closing part of the guide door.

[0026] By using the above scheme, the guide door has a right trapezoidal shape, when the guide door is in an open state, the animals entering the guide door will feel that the space is limited in vision, and the animals can also be forced to lower the head posture when entering the guide channel, so as to achieve natural deceleration, and the guide door can also guide the animals.

[0027] In summary, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. By the arrangement of the inlet part and the channel part, when the animals travel from the inlet part to the channel part, the animals will face space constraints, which forces them to lower the head posture, so that the animals automatically slow down, preventing the animals from being squeezed due to too fast travel speed, thereby causing group confusion, by the design of the inlet guide part, the animals can avoid collision with the junction of the inlet part and the channel part when passing through the channel part from the inlet part, by the design of the inlet guide part, the animals will feel slight resistance when contacting the inlet guide part, thereby further reducing the travel speed, by the design of the inclination angle, the animals can avoid collision reaction and ensure sufficient guide effect, and avoid animal stress reaction caused by too large or too small angle.

[0029] 2. By setting the U-shaped fixed frame, the fixing effect is further enhanced. When the animal travels from the entrance part to the entrance guide part, the U-shaped fixed frame in the entrance guide part is lower in height, and in the longitudinal space, the lower top structure can provide a certain visual compression to the animal, thereby further making the animal maintain a lower travel speed.

[0030] 3. The guide door is in the shape of a straight trapezoid with narrow top and wide bottom. When the guide door is in the open state, the animal entering the guide door will feel limited in space visually, and the animal will also be forced to lower the head posture when entering the guide channel, thereby achieving natural speed reduction, so that the guide door can also guide the animal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a speed reduction guide device for a livestock channel, which can enable the animal to enter the channel smoothly.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-2 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic view of a speed reduction guide device for a livestock channel provided by the first embodiment of the present application, which comprises a guide channel 1 and a guide door 2.

[0038] The guiding channel 1 mainly comprises a channel platform 11, a fence 12 and a guide fence 13, and the guiding door 2 is arranged at both ends of the guiding channel 1. The fence 12 can be made of steel plate, and the height of the fence 12 is slightly higher than the height of the legs of the animals, so as to effectively avoid external interference and prevent some small animals from entering the guiding channel 1 and affecting the order. The guide fence 13 can also be made of steel plate or a fence, and in this application, the guide fence 13 is made of a plurality of parallel fences, so as to prevent the space formed by the guide fence 13 from being too closed and causing stress reaction of the animals. The overall height of the guiding channel 1 is 1.2 to 1.5 times the height of the animals, so as to ensure that the head of the animal can be naturally stretched when entering the guiding channel 1, and the internal space of the guiding channel 1 is not too narrow, thereby avoiding stress of the animals. The internal space of the guiding channel 1 can be coated with a matte dark color, so as to reduce the interference of external light and further reduce the stress reaction of the animals.

[0039] The guide fence 13 in the guiding channel 1 is composed of an entrance part 131 and a channel part 132, wherein the entrance part 131 comprises an entrance guide part 1311. The width of the entrance part 131 is greater than the width of the channel platform 11, forming a gradually narrowing trend, which is designed to provide a buffer zone for the entering animals. The entrance part 131 is connected to the channel part 132 through the entrance guide part 1311, and the entrance guide part 1311 is inclined to the inside of the guiding channel 1 at an angle of 15° to 25°, so as to avoid excessive inclination and cause stress reaction of the animals. When the animals pass through the entrance guide part 1311, they will feel slight resistance if they contact the entrance guide part 1311, thereby further reducing the walking speed. The inner side of the entrance part 131 can also be pasted with flexible material, so as to effectively absorb impact energy even if a collision occurs.

[0040] The guiding channel 1 further comprises a plurality of U-shaped fixed frames 14, which can be made of lightweight alloy profiles and have excellent bending resistance. The height of the U-shaped fixed frame 14 fixed with the entrance guide part 1311 is slightly lower, so as to increase the visual compression and induce the animals to consciously slow down; the rest is restored to the standard height to maintain the normal protection function. Adjacent fixed frames are connected through horizontal support rods 141, and a collection camera 1411 can be installed on the support rod 141 for observing the animal activity. The channel platform 11 is provided with a gravity measuring device 112, which can be an electronic scale or other gravity measuring equipment. The side of the guiding channel 1 is provided with an information collection system, which can transmit the information collected by the collection camera 1411 and the gravity data measured by the gravity measuring device 112 to the staff.

[0041] The collection camera 1411 can be provided with multiple cameras, one of which can be used to collect real-time behavior data, health status and channel usage of animals. The collected data is transmitted to the monitoring system of the farm through the internal network of the information collection system for real-time viewing and analysis by the staff to timely discover abnormal conditions and take appropriate measures. Another collection camera 1411 collects data mainly for providing information feedback to external users. Through a dedicated network interface, the collected data can be transmitted to the monitoring platform or mobile device of the external user, enabling the external user to remotely view the status of the animals and the usage of the channel.

[0042] In the present application, the guide door 2 is in the shape of a right trapezoid, and the guide door 2 includes a door leaf flow guide part 21 located at the upper part of the guide door 2, which extends obliquely away from the closed part of the guide door 2, so that the upper and lower edges of the guide door 2 are of different lengths, the top short edge is inwardly retracted to form a compact appearance, and the bottom long edge is outwardly expanded to increase the receiving range. This asymmetric layout can create a clear illusion of depth, prompting animals to spontaneously lower their head height and cautiously explore the road conditions in front, thereby achieving the purpose of natural speed reduction. The guide door 2 can be painted with more eye-catching signs to attract the attention of animals. When the guide channel 1 is in use, the guide door 2 is in an open state, and the guide door 2 can be remotely controlled to open and close by a single-chip microcomputer or an intelligent control system, and at the same time, the guide door 2 can be controlled to open to a fixed angle, so that the guide door 2 achieves the best flow guiding effect.

[0043] The working principle of the present embodiment is as follows: when the animals travel from the entrance part 131 to the channel part 132, the animals will face space constraints, forcing them to lower their head posture, which automatically slows down the animals, preventing them from being squeezed due to excessive speed, which can cause group confusion. Through the design of the entrance flow guide part 1311, the animals can avoid colliding with the junction of the entrance part 131 and the channel part 132 when passing through the channel part 132 from the entrance part 131. Through the design of the entrance flow guide part 1311, when the animals come into contact with the entrance flow guide part 1311, they will feel a slight resistance, which further reduces the travel speed. Through the design of the inclination angle, the avoidance reaction of the animal behavior psychology is satisfied, and sufficient flow guiding effect is ensured, avoiding the stress reaction of the animals caused by excessive or insufficient angle.
