[0029] 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.

[0030] Example

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5This embodiment proposes a quantitative lactation period for lambs, including a milk tank 1 and an adaptive quantitative milk separation structure. The adaptive quantitative milk separation structure includes a diversion control valve 2, a nursing chamber 3, a one-way shut-off valve 4, a partition plate 5, and a sensor 6.

[0032] In order to add emulsion to the emulsion tank 1, a feeding hopper 9 is connected to the upper side of the emulsion tank 1, and the staff can add emulsion to the emulsion tank 1 through the feeding hopper 9;

[0033] To divert the emulsion inside the emulsion tank 1, multiple diversion control valves 2 are connected to the lower side of the emulsion tank 1, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the number of breastfeeding compartments 3 corresponds to the number of diversion control valves 2. A one-way shut-off valve 4 is installed on the upper side of the breastfeeding compartment 3. The top of the one-way shut-off valve 4 and the bottom of the diversion control valve 2 are connected by a connecting pipe. The milk inside the milk tank 1 flows into the open diversion control valve 2. The milk flowing into the diversion control valve 2 enters the corresponding breastfeeding compartment 3 through the one-way shut-off valve 4 and the connecting pipe. In order to intercept the milk inside the connecting pipe, the one-way shut-off valve 4 is in a one-way flow state. When the inside of the breastfeeding compartment 3 is full, the one-way shut-off valve 4 will intercept the milk inside the connecting pipe.

[0034] To separate different lambs, multiple partitions 5 are installed on the milk tank 1 via mounting brackets. Every two sets of partitions 5 and the milking bins 3 between them form a milking area, and different lambs can enter different milking areas for feeding.

[0035] To control the opening and closing state of the diversion control valve 2, a sensor 6 is installed between each pair of partition plates 5 via a centrally mounted plate. When a lamb enters the nursing area between two partition plates 5 and is detected by the sensor 6, the sensor 6 will transmit a signal to the diversion control valve 2, keeping the diversion control valve 2 open. The nursing chamber 3 is filled with milk through the one-way flow of the one-way shut-off valve 4. When the lamb drinks milk through the nipple 301, the milk inside the nursing chamber 3 is replenished in real time through the open diversion control valve 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the sensor 6 is installed at the upper position between the two partitions 5. After the lamb enters the nursing area between the two partitions 5, the sensor 6 installed at the upper position will not affect the normal passage of the lamb.

[0037] In this embodiment, the sensor 6 is installed close to the nipple 301. When the lamb is being fed through the nipple 301, the sensor 6 will sense the lamb's head and control the diversion control valve 2 to remain open.

[0038] In this embodiment, multiple diversion control valves 2 are connected to both sides of the emulsion tank 1, and a flow guide seat 7 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the emulsion tank 1. The cross-section of the flow guide seat 7 is triangular, and the emulsion inside the emulsion tank 1 can flow into the opened diversion control valve 2 through the flow guide seat 7.

[0039] In this embodiment, a fence 8 is provided on the inner side of the partition plate 5. The fence 8 is connected to the partition plate 5 by a hinge. When a lamb enters the nursing area, the fence 8 can block subsequent lambs, so that only one lamb can nurse in a nursing area.

[0040] In this embodiment, the breastfeeding chamber 3 is trapezoidal in shape, and the inclined surface inside the breastfeeding chamber 3 faces the nipple 301. The milk that enters the breastfeeding chamber 3 can flow quickly to the nipple 301 through the inclined surface.

[0041] It should be further explained that the diversion control valve 2, the one-way shut-off valve 4, and the sensor 6 in this embodiment are conventional devices known to those skilled in the art and available on the market. Models can be selected or customized according to actual needs. In this patent, we only use them without improving their structure and function. Their setting method, installation method, and electrical connection method can be easily explained by those skilled in the art by following the instructions for use. They will not be described in detail here. The diversion control valve 2, the one-way shut-off valve 4, and the sensor 6 are equipped with matching control switches. The installation position of the control switches can be selected according to actual usage requirements to facilitate operation and control by the operator.

[0042] Working principle: When lambs need to be fed, the staff herds them into different nursing areas. When a lamb is detected by sensor 6, sensor 6 transmits a signal to the corresponding diversion control valve 2. Diversion control valve 2 will be in the normally open state, and the milk in the milk tank 1 will enter the opened diversion control valve 2. The milk in diversion control valve 2 will then enter the corresponding nursing chamber 3 through the one-way shut-off valve 4 and the connecting pipe. When the milk content in nursing chamber 3 reaches the target level, the one-way shut-off valve 4 will cut off the milk in the connecting pipe, making the nursing chamber 3 full of milk, and the lambs entering the nursing area will then be fed. Lambs are fed through nipple 301. The milk inside the nursing chamber 3 is sucked into the lamb's body through the nipple 301. During the lamb's feeding, the milk content inside the nursing chamber 3 will decrease. When the milk content inside the nursing chamber 3 decreases, the one-way shut-off valve 4 will stop the flow of milk in the connecting tube, allowing the milk in the connecting tube to enter the nursing chamber 3, making the nursing chamber 3 full of milk. After the lamb finishes feeding and leaves the sensing range of the sensor 6, the sensor 6 transmits a signal to the diversion control valve 2, which will be in a normally closed state. After one lamb has finished feeding, the staff can open the fence 8 to allow the unfed lambs to enter the nursing area to feed.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
