Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry, and in particular to a calf island that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] A calf island is a separate feeding facility specifically designed for newborn calves, aiming to provide them with a clean, safe, and healthy environment for growth. Calf islands are typically used in dairy farms or other cattle facilities to reduce the risk of disease transmission and facilitate individual management and observation of each calf.

[0003] Calf Island requires regular cleaning and disinfection to prevent the spread of disease, but sometimes cleaning can be quite strenuous for staff due to its narrow and enclosed space. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-clean calf island to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an easy-to-clean calf island, comprising an outer shell, a ventilation opening, a supporting structure, a supporting plate, a roof, an entrance / exit door, a fence, a feeding inlet, and a feeding bucket. The outer shell has a ventilation opening at its rear end. The supporting structure is installed on the rear side of the outer shell. The supporting plate is hinged to the supporting structure. The roof is installed on the supporting plate and is also installed on the outer shell via the supporting plate. The entrance / exit door opens at the front end of the outer shell and the roof. The fence is installed at the front end of the outer shell. The feeding inlet opens at the fence. The feeding bucket is installed on the fence via the feeding inlet.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the support structure includes a base plate, support columns, shaft holes, rotating shafts, limiting grooves, and limiting frames. The base plate is installed at the bottom rear end of the outer shell. The two support columns are respectively fixed to the left and right sides of the top of the base plate. The shaft holes are respectively opened on the upper part of the support columns. The left and right parts of the rotating shaft are respectively installed in the left and right shaft holes, and the support plate is hinged to the rotating shaft. The limiting groove is opened on the upper part of the support column and corresponds to the position of the rotating shaft. The limiting frame is inserted into the rotating shaft and the support column through the limiting groove.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the limiting frame fixes the outer shell to the ceiling through the limiting groove.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention divides the calf island into two parts, the outer shell and the upper and lower roof, and uses a support structure for easy disassembly and fixing, so that staff can clean and disinfect it.

[0013] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0014] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an easy-to-clean calf island includes an outer shell 1, a ventilation opening 2, a supporting structure 3, a supporting plate 4, a roof 5, an entrance / exit 6, a fence 7, a feeding inlet 8, and a feeding bucket 9. The ventilation opening 2 is located at the rear end of the outer shell 1. The supporting structure 3 is installed on the rear side of the outer shell 1. The supporting plate 4 is hinged to the supporting structure 3. The roof 5 is installed on the supporting plate 4 and is also installed on the outer shell 1 via the supporting plate 4. The entrance / exit 6 is located at the front end of the outer shell 1 and the roof 5. The fence 7 is installed at the front end of the outer shell 1. The feeding inlet 8 is located at the fence 7. The feeding bucket 9 is installed on the fence 7 via the feeding inlet 8.

[0015] The support structure 3 includes a base plate 10, support columns 11, shaft holes 12, rotating shaft 13, limiting groove 14, and limiting frame 15. The base plate 10 is installed at the bottom rear end of the outer shell 1. The two support columns 11 are respectively fixed to the left and right parts of the top of the base plate 10. The shaft holes 12 are respectively opened on the upper part of the support columns 11. The left and right parts of the rotating shaft 13 are respectively installed in the left and right shaft holes 12, and the support plate 4 is hinged to the rotating shaft 13. The limiting groove 14 is opened on the upper part of the support column 11 and corresponds to the position of the rotating shaft 13. The limiting frame 15 is inserted into the rotating shaft 13 and the support column 11 through the limiting groove 14.

[0016] The limiting frame 15 fixes the outer shell 1 to the roof 5 through the limiting groove 14.

[0017] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Calves are raised in the enclosure 7 and enter and exit the outer shell 1 through the door 6. They eat in the feeding bucket 9 through the feeding port 8. When cleaning and disinfection are required, the limiting frame 15 is pulled out of the limiting slot 14, and the roof 5 is flipped along the pivot 13 through the support plate 4 to open the calf island and expose the internal structure so that the staff can clean and disinfect it.

[0018] The above description is a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, any changes, modifications, substitutions and variations made to the implementation methods without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model, based on the teachings of the present utility model, still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
