[0025] The import of conveying guide groove 1 is communicated with the outlet of livestock shed, and the outlet of conveying guide groove 1 is communicated with the import of the car of car.

[0026] ​The guiding mechanism 2 comprises a first trolley 21 and a first driving mechanism 23, the first trolley 21 is slidably connected to the conveying guide groove 1 along the length direction of the conveying guide groove 1, and a bait 22 is arranged on the bearing surface of the first trolley 21, the bait 22 mainly comprises food, smell and sound, the food comprises feed, grass and the like, the smell comprises synthetic livestock pheromone, spices and the like, and the sound comprises the call of livestock and music.

[0027] In use, one end of the conveying guide groove 1 is communicated with the livestock shed outlet, and the other end is communicated with the automobile carriage inlet, so as to form a coherent livestock transportation path. When loading is needed, the connecting openings at both ends of the channel are opened, so as to provide a physical channel for the livestock to enter the carriage from the shed. The first trolley 21 of the guiding mechanism 2 is slidably connected along the length direction of the conveying guide groove 1. Before loading, the staff places the bait 22 on the first trolley 21. The first driving mechanism 23 is started, the fixed end of the first driving mechanism 23 is connected to the trolley, and the movable end of the first driving mechanism 23 acts on the conveying guide groove 1, so that the driving mechanism generates a driving force to drive the first trolley 21 to move on the conveying guide groove 1. Since the bait 22 has an attractive force on the livestock, the livestock will be attracted by the bait 22 on the trolley and move along the trolley. In the process that the first trolley 21 slides along the conveying guide groove 1 from the livestock shed to the automobile carriage, the livestock will also be guided to move along the conveying guide groove 1 from the shed to the automobile carriage through the conveying guide groove 1, so as to complete the loading process.

[0028] In the utility model, the driving force generated by the driving mechanism drives the first trolley 21 to move on the conveying guide groove 1, and since the bait 22 has an attractive force on the livestock, the livestock will be attracted by the bait 22 on the trolley and move along the trolley, so that the guiding mode using the bait 22 is more gentle, the stress reaction is reduced, and the loading efficiency is improved.

[0029] In order to drive the first trolley 21 to move, please refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the first driving mechanism 23 comprises a power assembly 231 and a transmission assembly 232, the power assembly 231 comprises a first motor 2311, the fixed end of the first motor 2311 is connected to the first trolley 21, and the output shaft of the first motor 2311 provides power for the first trolley 21 through the transmission assembly 232.

[0030] In use, the first motor 2311 is fixed on the first trolley 21, and when the system starts the loading process, the first motor 2311 is powered on and operated. The transmission assembly 232 plays a key role in connecting the first motor 2311 and the first trolley 21 and transmitting power. The movement speed and position of the first trolley 21 can be accurately controlled, so that the livestock can be better guided to load.

[0031] In order to transmit the power of the first motor 2311, please refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the transmission assembly 232 comprises a guide rail 2321 and a first wheel 2322, the guide rail 2321 is arranged on the conveying guide groove 1, the guide rail 2321 extends along the length direction of the conveying guide groove 1, the first trolley 21 is slidingly connected to the guide rail 2321, and the first wheel 2322 is arranged on the output shaft of the first motor 2311 and abuts against the guide rail 2321.

[0032] In use, the first wheel 2322 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 2311 and rotates with the rotation of the output shaft. The guide rail 2321 is laid on the conveying guide groove 1 along the length direction of the conveying guide groove 1, and the first wheel 2322 abuts against the guide rail 2321. Because of the friction between the first wheel 2322 and the guide rail 2321, when the first wheel 2322 rotates, the friction will push the first wheel 2322 to roll along the guide rail 2321. Because the guide rail 2321 extends along the length direction of the conveying guide groove 1, the first trolley 21 will slide along the length direction of the conveying guide groove 1.

[0033] In order to meet the preferences of different livestock, please refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the guide mechanism 2 further comprises a plurality of placement plates 24, and the plurality of placement plates 24 are fixedly connected to the first trolley 21, and each placement plate 24 is used to place different decoys 22.

[0034] In use, different types of livestock, or even the same type but different individuals of livestock, may have different preferences for food. The plurality of placement plates 24 can place different types of decoys 22, meet the preferences of different livestock, improve the attraction to various types of livestock, and increase the success rate of guiding loading.

[0035] In order to control the opening and closing of the cover plate 26, please refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the guide mechanism 2 further comprises a pivot 25, a cover plate 26, and an opening and closing assembly 3, the pivot 25 is rotatably connected to the placement plate 24, the cover plate 26 is fixedly connected to the pivot 25, the fixed end of the opening and closing assembly 3 is connected to the placement plate 24, and the movable end of the opening and closing assembly 3 is connected to the pivot 25.

[0036] In use, the cover plate 26 is in a position covering the bait 22 before loading or when the bait 22 is not needed to attract the livestock. It ensures that the bait 22 is not exposed, avoiding the bait 22 being contaminated, damaged or contacted by non-target livestock in advance, affecting the subsequent guiding effect. When the livestock needs to be guided to load, the opening and closing assembly 3 is triggered. The rotating shaft 25 rotates. The rotating shaft 25 drives the fixedly connected cover plate 26 to rotate around the rotating connection point with the placement disc 24, gradually opens, and exposes the bait 22 in the placement disc 24, releasing the smell and visual signal to attract the livestock.

[0037] In order to control the opening and closing of the cover plate 26, please refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the opening and closing assembly 3 includes a second motor 31 mounted on the placement disc 24, and the output shaft of the second motor 31 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 25.

[0038] In use, the second motor 31 starts to operate after being powered on. Since the output shaft of the second motor 31 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 25, the rotation of the output shaft will directly drive the rotating shaft 25 to rotate synchronously. When the rotating shaft 25 rotates, the cover plate 26 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 25 also rotates around the rotating connection point with the placement disc 24. With the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 25, the cover plate 26 gradually closes or opens.

[0039] In order to prevent the livestock from retreating, please refer to Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the loading system further includes a check mechanism 4, the check mechanism 4 includes a second trolley 41, a second driving mechanism 42, and a stop lever 43, the second trolley 41 is slidingly connected to the guide rail 2321, the fixed end of the second driving mechanism 42 is connected to the second trolley 41, the movable end of the second driving mechanism 42 is connected to the guide rail 2321, the stop lever 43 is slidingly connected to the second trolley 41 along the height direction of the second trolley 41, and the stop lever 43 is located in the conveying guide groove 1.

[0040] In use, when part of the livestock has moved in the direction of the car compartment through the position of the stop lever 43, the second driving mechanism 42 starts to work and generates corresponding driving force, thereby pushing the second trolley 41 to slide along the guide rail 2321 in the direction of the car compartment. During the movement of the second trolley 41, the stop lever 43 installed on the second trolley 41 also moves. After the stop lever 43 moves to the appropriate position, it blocks the path of the livestock backflow, so that the livestock cannot return to the direction of the livestock shed, ensuring that the livestock can only move forward along the conveying guide groove 1 in the direction of the car compartment, achieving the purpose of preventing the livestock from backflowing. When all the livestock are successfully loaded, the check mechanism 4 needs to be restored to the initial state for next use.

[0041] In order to drive the second trolley 41 to move, please refer toFigure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the second driving mechanism 42 comprises a third motor 421 and a second wheel 422, the third motor 421 is installed on the second trolley 41, the second wheel 422 is connected to the output shaft of the third motor 421, and the second wheel 422 abuts against the guide rail 2321.

[0042] In use, when the check mechanism 4 needs to be operated, the third motor 421 is powered on to start working. The output shaft of the third motor 421 is connected to the second wheel 422, and as the output shaft rotates, the second wheel 422 also starts to rotate. Since the second wheel 422 abuts against the guide rail 2321, there is a friction force between the wheel and the guide rail 2321. This friction force makes the rotating second wheel 422 roll on the guide rail 2321, thereby pushing the second trolley 41 to move along the guide rail 2321. The second trolley 41 is installed with a stop lever 43, and when the second trolley 41 moves along the guide rail 2321 under the driving of the third motor 421, the stop lever 43 moves accordingly.

[0043] In order to reduce the possibility of injury to livestock, please refer to Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the check mechanism 4 further comprises a buffer assembly 5, the buffer assembly 5 is arranged on the stop lever 43, the buffer assembly 5 comprises a buffer plate 51 and a spring 52, the buffer plate 51 is arranged on the stop lever 43 close to one side of the car, the spring 52 is arranged between the buffer plate 51 and the stop lever 43, one end of the spring 52 is connected to the buffer plate 51, the other end of the spring 52 is connected to the stop lever 43, and the spring 52 is in the original length state.

[0044] In use, under normal circumstances when livestock collision does not occur, the spring 52 is in the original length state, and the buffer plate 51 is kept in a relatively fixed position with the stop lever 43 by the supporting force of the spring 52. At this time, the buffer plate 51 is located at the side of the stop lever 43 close to the automobile, and is ready to respond to possible collisions. When livestock with backflow collides with the buffer plate 51, the impact force of the livestock acts directly on the buffer plate 51. Since the buffer plate 51 is connected with the stop lever 43 through the spring 52, the spring 52 is extruded by external force and starts to elastically deform, and is gradually compressed from the original length state. In this process, the spring 52 absorbs the kinetic energy generated by the livestock collision through its deformation, and converts the kinetic energy of the livestock into the elastic potential energy of the spring 52. The elastic deformation process of the spring 52 is a buffering process, which reduces the impact force when the livestock collides with the stop lever 43. If there is no buffer assembly 5, the livestock directly collides with the stop lever 43, and the instantaneous impact force may cause harm to the livestock, and may also damage the stop lever 43 due to excessive force. The presence of the spring 52 disperses and weakens the impact force in the compression process of the spring 52, thereby effectively protecting the livestock and the stop lever 43. When the impact force disappears, the spring 52 starts to release the elastic potential energy and gradually recovers from the compressed state to the original length state.

[0045] In order to further improve the buffering effect of the buffer plate 51, please refer to Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the buffer assembly 5 further comprises a buffer layer 53 connected to the side of the buffer plate 51 close to the automobile, and the buffer layer is made of rubber or sponge with a thickness of 10mm.

[0046] In use, the buffer layer generally has good elasticity and flexibility, such as using rubber, sponge and the like. When the livestock collides with the buffer plate 51, the buffer layer can further elastically deform, absorb more impact energy than the buffer plate 51 alone, more effectively reduce the impact force on the livestock, reduce the damage to the body of the livestock, and also further protect the stop lever 43 and the entire check mechanism 4.

[0047] In order to better understand the present application, the following will be combined with Figure 1 - Figure 3The utility model discloses a livestock loading system, which comprises a conveying guide groove 1, a guide mechanism 2 and a first driving mechanism 23. One end of the conveying guide groove 1 is connected with an outlet of a livestock shed, and the other end of the conveying guide groove 1 is connected with an entrance of a vehicle carriage, thereby forming a continuous livestock transportation path. When loading is needed, the connecting ports at both ends of the channel are opened to provide a physical channel for the livestock to enter the vehicle carriage from the shed. The first trolley 21 of the guide mechanism 2 is slidably connected along the length direction of the conveying guide groove 1. Before loading, the staff places the decoy 22 on the first trolley 21. The first driving mechanism 23 is started, and the fixed end of the first driving mechanism 23 is connected to the trolley, and the movable end of the first driving mechanism 23 acts on the conveying guide groove 1. The force generated by the driving mechanism pushes the first trolley 21 to move on the conveying guide groove 1. Since the decoy 22 has an attractive force on the livestock, the livestock will follow the decoy 22 on the trolley and move. In the process that the first trolley 21 slides along the conveying guide groove 1 from the livestock shed to the vehicle carriage, the livestock will also be guided to move along the conveying guide groove 1 from the shed to the vehicle carriage through the conveying guide groove 1, thereby completing the loading process.

[0048] The above description of the specific embodiment of the utility model does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made according to the technical concept of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model claim.
