AI Technical Summary
The existing beef cattle farming channels are difficult to control precisely when dividing the pens, resulting in poor fine-grained pensing effects. Furthermore, the reliance on manual operation leads to longer working hours, greater physical exertion, lower efficiency, and lower accuracy.
The adjustable channel is driven by a servo hydraulic cylinder. The servo hydraulic cylinder pushes the guardrail frame to slide and insert the slot to achieve automatic separation. Combined with a small weighbridge and control panel, it accurately measures the weight and starts the adjustment mechanism to achieve precise separation based on weight.
This system enables precise pensing of beef cattle based on weight, improving the accuracy and reliability of pensing, reducing reliance on manual labor, and enhancing work efficiency and operational stability.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of adjustable channels for beef cattle breeding, and in particular to an adjustable channel for beef cattle breeding. Background Technology
[0002] Beef cattle play a vital role in the livestock industry and related fields, supplying high-quality meat and providing high-quality beef rich in nutrients such as protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B. Different cuts of beef are suitable for various cooking methods, such as steak and barbecue, satisfying diverse dietary needs. It is a key economic sector, transforming forage and straw into high-value products for profit. Large-scale farms drive employment and also stimulate a series of industries such as feed processing, veterinary drug production, and meat processing, forming an industrial chain, creating economic and employment value, and building a circular model with the planting industry. After treatment, cow manure is used as organic fertilizer and returned to the fields to improve soil conditions and help crop growth; crop straw and other waste are used as roughage for beef cattle, realizing resource recycling, reducing costs, and reducing pollution.
[0003] Currently, in beef cattle farming, some adjustable channels have drawbacks when separating or selecting cattle by weight. If precise control of the separation is not achieved, it is difficult to achieve refined separation. For example, if you want to separate cattle by weight for targeted feeding, the existing channels are difficult to implement. Furthermore, some channel adjustments rely too much on manual labor, which significantly prolongs working hours, consumes a lot of energy, and easily leads to fatigue, affecting work efficiency. Fatigue can also cause operational errors, reducing the accuracy and reliability of separation. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an adjustable channel for beef cattle farming.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: an adjustable channel for beef cattle breeding, including a base, an auxiliary mechanism provided above the base, and an adjustment mechanism provided on one side of the auxiliary mechanism;
[0008] The adjustment mechanism includes an auxiliary groove, a slide groove, a slot, a right guardrail frame, and a left guardrail frame. The inner sides of the right guardrail frame and the left guardrail frame are slidably connected to the inner sides of the auxiliary groove, respectively. The bottom ends of the right guardrail frame and the left guardrail frame are slidably connected to the inner sides of the slide groove, respectively. The other end of the right guardrail frame is inserted into the inner side of the slot, respectively. A servo hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed at one end of the right guardrail frame and one end of the left guardrail frame.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, after receiving a signal, the servo hydraulic cylinder will push the right guardrail frame to slide smoothly along the inner side of the slide groove until it is inserted into the inner side of the slot to achieve closure. The larger beef cattle cannot pass through the closed area, so they will enter the unclosed left guardrail frame. This achieves the purpose of selecting cattle according to their weight. This solves the problems that if precise control of the pensing effect is poor, it is difficult to achieve fine pensing. For example, if you want to pens the cattle according to their weight for targeted feeding, the existing channels are difficult to achieve. The adjustment of some channels relies too much on manpower, which not only greatly prolongs the working time, but also consumes a lot of physical energy, easily causes fatigue and affects work efficiency. Furthermore, fatigue can lead to operational errors, reducing the accuracy and reliability of pensing.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the adjustable passage for beef cattle breeding described in this utility model, the main guardrails are fixedly installed on the surface of the base, and the bottom surfaces of the servo hydraulic cylinders of the adjustment mechanism are fixedly installed on the surface of the base.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the base can effectively provide a stable installation effect for the servo hydraulic cylinders that are respectively installed on the surface.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the adjustable passage for beef cattle breeding described in this utility model, the auxiliary grooves of the adjustment mechanism are respectively opened on the two sides of the main guardrail, the sliding grooves are respectively opened on the base surface, and the bottom wall of the auxiliary grooves respectively penetrates the top of the sliding grooves.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the main guardrail can effectively provide a stable opening position for the auxiliary slots opened on both sides.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the adjustable passage for beef cattle breeding described in this utility model, a small weighbridge is fixedly installed on the surface of the base, and a control panel is fixedly installed on one side of the main guardrail.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cattle that need to be separated into pens step onto the small weighbridge, the small weighbridge can accurately measure the weight of the cattle and quickly transmit this data to the control panel in the form of a signal. The control panel then processes and forwards the signal, accurately sending it to the adjustment mechanism, causing the adjustment mechanism to start immediately and carry out the adjustment work in an orderly manner.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the adjustable passage for beef cattle breeding described in this utility model, the auxiliary mechanism includes a side guardrail, a left guardrail frame, and a right guardrail frame, with the bottom ends of the side guardrail, the left guardrail frame, and the right guardrail frame respectively fixedly installed on the surface of the base.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the base can effectively provide a stable installation position for the side railings, left railing frame and right railing frame installed on the surface respectively.
[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the adjustable passage for beef cattle breeding described in this utility model, the slots of the adjustment mechanism are respectively opened on the inner side of the side guardrail of the auxiliary mechanism, the bottom end of the slots respectively penetrates the top of the sliding groove, and the top wall of the left guardrail frame and the top wall of the right guardrail frame are respectively fixedly installed on the top surface of the main guardrail.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the main guardrail can effectively provide a stable installation position for the left and right guardrail frames installed on the top surface, respectively.
[0020] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0021] This invention provides an adjustable passage for beef cattle farming. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. By adding an adjustment mechanism, the servo hydraulic cylinder, upon receiving a signal, pushes the right guardrail frame to slide smoothly along the inner side of the slide groove until it is inserted into the inner side of the slot to achieve closure. Larger beef cattle cannot pass through the closed area and will naturally enter the unclosed left guardrail frame, achieving the purpose of selecting cattle for pens according to weight. This solves the problems of poor pen control and difficulty in achieving refined pensing. For example, if you want to accurately pens the cattle according to weight for targeted feeding, the existing channels are difficult to achieve. Furthermore, some channel adjustments rely too much on manual labor, which greatly prolongs labor time, consumes a lot of physical energy, easily causes fatigue and affects work efficiency, and also leads to operational errors due to fatigue, reducing the accuracy and reliability of penning.
[0023] 2. By adding a small weighbridge and control panel, when cattle that need to be separated into different pens step onto the small weighbridge, the small weighbridge can accurately measure the weight of the cattle and quickly transmit this data to the control panel in the form of a signal. The control panel then processes and forwards the signal, accurately sending it to the adjustment mechanism, causing the adjustment mechanism to start immediately and carry out the adjustment work in an orderly manner.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides an adjustable channel for beef cattle breeding, including a base 1, an auxiliary mechanism 4 above the base 1, and an adjustment mechanism 6 on one side of the auxiliary mechanism 4.
[0033] The adjustment mechanism 6 includes an auxiliary groove 61, a slide groove 62, a slot 63, a right guardrail frame 64, and a left guardrail frame 65. The inner sides of the right guardrail frame 64 and the left guardrail frame 65 are slidably connected to the inner sides of the auxiliary groove 61, respectively. The bottom ends of the right guardrail frame 64 and the left guardrail frame 65 are slidably connected to the inner sides of the slide groove 62, respectively. The other end of the right guardrail frame 64 is inserted into the inner side of the slot 63, and a servo hydraulic cylinder 66 is fixedly installed at one end of the right guardrail frame 64 and one end of the left guardrail frame 65, respectively.
[0034] Specifically, the main guardrail 2 is fixedly installed on the surface of the base 1, the bottom surface of the servo hydraulic cylinder 66 of the adjustment mechanism 6 is fixedly installed on the surface of the base 1, the auxiliary groove 61 of the adjustment mechanism 6 is opened on both sides of the main guardrail 2, the slide groove 62 is opened on the surface of the base 1, and the bottom wall of the auxiliary groove 61 passes through the top of the slide groove 62.
[0035] Furthermore, after receiving a signal, the adjustment mechanism 6, via the servo hydraulic cylinder 66, pushes the right guardrail frame 64 to slide smoothly along the inner side of the slide groove 62 until it is inserted into the inner side of the slot 63 and closed. The larger beef cattle cannot pass through the closed area and will enter the unclosed left guardrail frame 65, thus achieving the purpose of sorting and selecting according to weight. The bottom ends of the right guardrail frame 64 and the left guardrail frame 65 are slidably connected to the inner side of the slide groove 62. Conversely, if the weight is too small, the servo hydraulic cylinder 66 pushes the left guardrail frame 65 to move, and the right guardrail frame 64 opens to allow it to enter.
[0036] The bottom of the main guardrail 2 is installed on the surface of the base 1. The main guardrail 2 can effectively provide a stable opening position for the auxiliary slots 61 opened on both sides.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. A small weighbridge 3 is fixedly installed on the surface of the base 1. A control panel 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the main guardrail 2. The auxiliary mechanism 4 includes a side guardrail 41, a left guardrail frame 42 and a right guardrail frame 43. The bottom ends of the side guardrail 41, the left guardrail frame 42 and the right guardrail frame 43 are respectively fixedly installed on the surface of the base 1.
[0039] Specifically, the slots 63 of the adjustment mechanism 6 are respectively opened inside the side railing 41 of the auxiliary mechanism 4, and the bottom of the slots 63 respectively penetrates the top of the slide groove 62. The top wall of the left railing frame 42 and the top wall of the right railing frame 43 are respectively fixedly installed on the top surface of the main railing 2.
[0040] Furthermore, when the cattle that need to be separated into pens step onto the small weighbridge 3, the small weighbridge 3 can accurately measure the weight of the cattle and quickly transmit this data to the control panel 5 in the form of a signal. The control panel 5 then processes and forwards the signal, accurately sending it to the adjustment mechanism 6, causing the adjustment mechanism 6 to start immediately and carry out the adjustment work in an orderly manner.
[0041] The auxiliary mechanism 4, through the base 1, can effectively provide a stable installation position for the side guardrail 41, left guardrail frame 42 and right guardrail frame 43 respectively installed on the surface, and the main guardrail 2 can effectively provide a stable installation position for the left guardrail frame 42 and right guardrail frame 43 respectively installed on the top surface.
[0042] Working principle: When the cattle that need to be separated into pens step onto the small weighbridge 3, the small weighbridge 3 can accurately measure the weight of the cattle and quickly transmit this data to the control panel 5 in the form of a signal. The control panel 5 then processes and forwards the signal, accurately sending it to the adjustment mechanism 6, causing the adjustment mechanism 6 to start immediately and carry out the adjustment work in an orderly manner.
[0043] The auxiliary mechanism 4, through the base 1, can effectively provide a stable installation position for the side guardrail 41, left guardrail frame 42 and right guardrail frame 43 respectively installed on the surface, and the main guardrail 2 can effectively provide a stable installation position for the left guardrail frame 42 and right guardrail frame 43 respectively installed on the top surface.
[0044] After receiving a signal, the adjustment mechanism 6, via the servo hydraulic cylinder 66, pushes the right guardrail frame 64 to slide smoothly along the inner side of the slide groove 62 until it is inserted into the inner side of the slot 63 and closed. The larger beef cattle cannot pass through the closed area and will enter the unclosed left guardrail frame 65, thus achieving the purpose of sorting and selecting according to weight. The bottom ends of the right guardrail frame 64 and the left guardrail frame 65 are slidably connected to the inner side of the slide groove 62. Conversely, if the weight is too small, the servo hydraulic cylinder 66 pushes the left guardrail frame 65 to move, and the right guardrail frame 64 opens to allow it to enter.
[0045] The bottom of the main guardrail 2 is installed on the surface of the base 1. The main guardrail 2 can effectively provide a stable opening position for the auxiliary slots 61 opened on both sides.
