Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of integrated prefabricated cattle pens for calves, specifically an integrated prefabricated cattle pen for calves. Background Technology

[0002] During calving, newborn calves typically need to be separated from their mothers and taken to a special calf pen for care. Currently, to prevent the mother from kicking, workers usually need to subdue and control the cow using force before separating the calf. However, improper use of force can injure both the mother and the newborn calf.

[0003] A search revealed existing technology (publication number: CN218163897U) regarding a cow farrowing pen. The document describes the farrowing pen as follows: "The cow farrowing pen includes an arc-shaped pen, fixed side bars, and movable side bars, which together form a fan-shaped pen; the movable side bars are equipped with horizontally opening upper and lower pen doors, which are vertically distributed. This utility model, by setting openable upper and lower pen doors on the fan-shaped pen..." This utility model allows for the enclosed and separated handling of calves.

[0004] However, while existing technologies have improved the enclosure for calves, some shortcomings still exist: the fabric makes it difficult to connect and disassemble the cattle pen. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a modular, integrated cattle pen for calves.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a modular, assembled cattle pen for calves, comprising a first cattle pen, a guardrail fixedly installed on one side of the first cattle pen to prevent calves from entering, a feed hopper fixedly arranged on the guardrail for placing feed, and a second cattle pen on one side of the first cattle pen; a modular assembly comprising a second connecting plate arranged on one side of the first cattle pen and a first connecting plate arranged on one side of the second cattle pen, with a connecting component between the second connecting plate and the first connecting plate for fixing the first and second cattle pens together; and two sets of connecting components arranged parallel between the first and second cattle pens, including a pressing component arranged on the first connecting plate and a snap-fit ​​component arranged on the second connecting plate for connecting the first and second cattle pens together.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The pressing component includes: a concave connecting block, fixedly arranged on one side of the connecting plate two; and a connecting ball, fixedly arranged at the end of the concave connecting block away from the connecting plate two.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a modular cattle pen for calves, comprising: an assembly component 1, including a first cattle pen 11, with a guardrail 12 fixedly installed on one side of the first cattle pen 11 to prevent calves from entering, a feed hopper 13 fixedly arranged on the guardrail 12 for placing feed, and a second cattle pen 16 on one side of the first cattle pen 11; a connecting component 2, including a second connecting plate 27 arranged on one side of the first cattle pen 11 and a first connecting plate 21 on one side of the second cattle pen 16, and a connecting component 3 between the second connecting plate 27 and the first connecting plate 21 for fixing the first cattle pen 11 and the second cattle pen 16; and two sets of connecting components 3, arranged in parallel between the first cattle pen 11 and the second cattle pen 16, including a pressing component arranged on the first connecting plate 21 and a snap-fit ​​component arranged on the second connecting plate 27 for connecting the first cattle pen 11 and the second cattle pen 16.

[0030] In this embodiment, the assembly component 1 and the connecting component 2 constitute the calf connecting assembly cattle pen device involved in this application, realizing a calf connecting assembly cattle pen.

[0031] In this embodiment, a connecting component 3 is provided between the connecting plate 27 and the connecting plate 21. The connecting component 3 securely connects the cattle pen 11 and the cattle pen 26, thereby forming a single connected structure between the two cattle pens.

[0032] In this embodiment, a feed hopper 13 is also fixedly installed on the guardrail 12. The feed hopper 13 is used to hold the feed needed by the calves, making it convenient for the calves to eat.

[0033] It should be noted that there are two sets of connecting components 3, which are distributed in parallel between the first cattle pen 11 and the second cattle pen 16 to achieve a reliable connection between the first cattle pen 11 and the second cattle pen 16, ensuring the stability and integrity of the integrated cattle pen structure.

[0034] Specifically, the pressing component includes: a concave connecting block 26, which is fixedly arranged on one side of the connecting plate 27; and a connecting ball 25, which is fixedly arranged at the end of the concave connecting block 26 away from the connecting plate 27.

[0035] In this embodiment, the connecting ball 25 serves as a connection point, enabling the first cow pen 11 and the second cow pen 16 to be connected with the snap fastener assembly.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Based on Example 1, in order to further improve the feeding of calves, a feed hopper 13 is fixedly arranged on the guardrail 12 for placing calf feed.

[0038] Specifically, the buckle assembly includes: a connecting shaft 24, which is fixedly arranged inside the connecting plate 21, and the connecting plate 21 has a groove on one side; a pressing block 23, which rotates on the connecting shaft 24; and a pressing block 28, which rotates on the connecting shaft 24 and is arranged below the pressing block 23.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, pressing block 23 and pressing block 28 rotate around connecting shaft 24 and cooperate with connecting ball 25 to achieve connection, thereby realizing the snap-fit ​​and separation with connecting ball 25, which facilitates the connection and disassembly of cattle pen.

[0040] Specifically, the connecting assembly 3 also includes springs 22 for defining the positions of pressing block 1 23 and pressing block 28. There are two sets of springs 22. One set of springs 22 is connected at one end to pressing block 1 23 and at the other end to connecting plate 1 21. The other set of springs 22 is connected at one end to pressing block 28 and at the other end to connecting plate 1 21.

[0041] It should be noted that the spring 22 provides elastic force so that the first pressing block 23 and the second pressing block 28 remain closed when no external force is applied, thus locking the connecting ball 25.

[0042] Specifically, pressing block 1 23 and pressing block 28 form a cylindrical groove on the top and bottom. When pressing pressing block 1 23 and pressing block 28 are pressed, spring 22 is pressed tight. Pressing block 1 23 and pressing block 28 open to allow connecting ball 25 to be placed into pressing block 1 23. When pressing block 1 23 and pressing block 28 are released, spring 22 returns to its original position, causing pressing block 1 23 and pressing block 28 to close, and connecting ball 25 is then engaged in the cylindrical groove.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, pressing block 23 and pressing block 28 are closed when the spring 22 is reset, and their arc-shaped grooves fit tightly with the connecting ball 25 to achieve a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0044] Example 3:

[0045] Based on embodiment 2, in order to enable pressing block 1 23 and pressing block 28 to press the connecting ball 25 simultaneously, pressing block 1 23 and pressing block 28 rotate on the connecting shaft 24;

[0046] Specifically, the connecting ball 25 is cylindrical and fits tightly with the arc-shaped grooves at the bottom of the first pressing block 23 and the top of the second pressing block 28.

[0047] It should be noted that the connecting ball 25 is cylindrical and precisely matches and fits tightly with the arc-shaped grooves at the bottom of the first pressing block 23 and the top of the second pressing block 28, ensuring the stability of the overall structure.

[0048] Specifically, two sets of sliding doors 14 are hinged to the side of the cattle pen 11 away from the feed hopper 13. Door handles 15 are fixed on the sliding doors 14 for opening and letting in calves.

[0049] In this embodiment, the sliding door 14 can be opened or closed by pulling the door handle 15, making it easier for calves to enter and exit the cattle pen.

[0050] In use, pull the door handle 15, and the operator places the calf into cattle pen one 11 and cattle pen two 16. Place cattle pen two 16 on the same horizontal line as cattle pen one 11, bringing the two pens close together. The connecting ball 25 on cattle pen one 11 is engaged in the groove of the pressing block one 23. The spring 22 connects the connecting plate one 21 and the pressing block one 23. After engaging, the pressure of the spring 22 locks the pressing block one 23 together, thus connecting the cattle pens. To disassemble, press the pressing blocks one 23 on both sides. The spring 22 presses downwards, allowing the connecting ball 25 to be removed from the groove of the pressing block one 23, thus disassembling the two cattle pens.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
