Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rotating cart technology, specifically to a rotating cart for lambing ewes. Background Technology

[0002] A lamb transfer vehicle for farrowing ewes is a vehicle used to transport and move lambs between different work stations. The design of these vehicles aims to reduce stress on lambs during transport and provide a relatively comfortable and safe environment. Therefore, existing lamb transfer vehicles for farrowing ewes are typically equipped with appropriate ventilation systems, temperature control systems, and non-slip floors to ensure the healthy and safe growth of the lambs.

[0003] However, in actual use, in order to reduce transportation frequency and lower transportation costs, the staff at the workstation will choose to transport lambs of different sizes at the same time. Since there is no partition structure in the transfer vehicle, it is easy for lambs of different sizes to be in the same transfer vehicle space. Therefore, during transportation, the weaker lambs may be injured due to crowding and collisions, increasing the chance of damage to the lambs during the transfer process. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0046] 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.

[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A lamb transfer cart for farrowing ewes includes a movable frame 1 with wheels 2 on it, and also includes a first lamb loading frame 3, a first partitioning mechanism, a second lamb loading frame 4, and a second partitioning mechanism. The first lamb loading frame 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable frame 1 and is used to load lambs. The first partitioning mechanism is located on the inner wall of the first lamb loading frame 3 and is used to dynamically adjust the lamb partitioning space. The second lamb loading frame 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the first lamb loading frame 3 and is used to load lambs. The second partitioning mechanism is located on the inner wall of the second lamb loading frame 4 and is also used to dynamically adjust the lamb partitioning space.

[0048] When transferring lambs and ewes to a selected area or station after giving birth, a transfer cart is used to load and transport them. First, the staff at the workstation use a partitioning mechanism to divide the internal area of ​​the loading frame 3 into sections according to the size of the lambs and ewes. The partitioning mechanism includes a strip groove 5, a partitioning slide rod 6, a connecting rod 7, a partitioning plate 8, and a rotating dividing assembly. The strip groove 5 is horizontally opened on the inner side walls of both sides of the loading frame 3. The partitioning slide rod 6 slides on the strip groove 5. The connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the partitioning slide rod 6 facing inwards from the loading frame 3. The partitioning plate 8 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the loading frame 3. The partition plate 8 is made of silicone. The rotating partition assembly is located at the other end of the connecting rod 7 and is used to divide the area inside the sheep crate 3. Since the partition slide rod 6 extends to the outside, the staff at the workstation can slide the partition slide rod 6 to divide the area. First, place a ewe in the sheep crate 3, and then use the rotating partition assembly to divide it. The partition slide rod 6 has a tightening ring at the outside end. When the partition slide rod 6 slides to the desired position, the tightening ring can be tightened on the partition slide rod 6 and pressed against the outer wall of the sheep crate 3, so that the partition slide rod 6 is fixed to the outer wall of the sheep crate 3.

[0049] The rotating partition assembly includes a rotating groove 9, a supporting rotating rod 11, and a nylon cloth 12. The rotating groove 9 is located on the connecting rod 7 at the end away from the partition slide rod 6. The supporting rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove 9 via a rotating shaft 10. The nylon cloth 12 is connected between the connecting rod 7 and the supporting rotating rod 11. By first rotating the supporting rotating rod 11 from the rotating shaft 10 to face the movable frame 1, the supporting rotating rod 11 will be supported on the inner bottom wall of the sheep loading frame 3. Then, the staff at the workstation slides the partition slide rod 6 from the outside, causing the partition slide rod 6 to move the unfolded nylon cloth 12 to the side of the already placed ewes for partitioning. The ewes are loaded and partitioned in sequence. The supporting rotating rod 11 is tightly rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 10 to ensure that it can stop in the same direction it is rotated.

[0050] After the ewes are loaded, the height of the sheep loading frame 3 can be adjusted using the height adjustment component according to the height of the tallest ewe. The height adjustment component includes an adjustment groove 18 and an adjustment plate 19. Multiple adjustment grooves 18 are provided on the inner side walls of both sides of the sheep loading frame 4. The adjustment grooves 18 are parallel to and on the same side as the strip groove 13. The adjustment plate 19 is detachably connected to the adjustment groove 18. After placing the adjustment plate 19 in the appropriate adjustment groove 18, the partition plate 21 can be placed on the sheep loading frame 4 to partition the sheep loading frame 4.

[0051] First, a lamb is placed in the lamb crate 4. The crate is then divided into sections according to its internal area using a partitioning mechanism 2. This partitioning mechanism includes a strip groove 13, a partition slide rod 14, a partition support rod 15, a partition plate 16, a folded cloth 17, and a height adjustment assembly. The strip groove 13 is located on the inner sidewalls of both sides of the lamb crate 4. The partition slide rod 14 is slidably positioned within the strip groove 13. The partition support rod 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the partition slide rod 14 facing inwards from the lamb crate 4. The partition plate 16 is fixedly connected to the partition support rod 17. At the bottom of 5, the partition plate 16 is made of silicone, and the folded cloth 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the partition plate 16. The height adjustment component is set on the inner side wall of the second sheep loading frame 4. The partition plate 16 and the folded cloth 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the partition plate 16 and the height adjustment component is set on the inner side wall of the second sheep loading frame 4. By sliding the partition slide bar 14, the partition plate 16 and the folded cloth 17 are moved to the side of the lamb, and then another lamb is put in. The partition plate 16 and the folded cloth 17 are used to separate the lambs in turn to prevent them from colliding during transportation.

[0052] It should be added that two additional inner sidewalls of the second sheep loading frame 4 are provided with mounting grooves 20. The mounting grooves are perpendicular to the adjustment grooves. Partition plates 21 are snapped into the mounting grooves 20, and folded cloth 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of partition plates 21, which can reduce the difficulty of loading lambs. Furthermore, ventilation holes 22 are provided on the outer sidewalls of the first sheep loading frame 3 and the second sheep loading frame 4. These ventilation holes 22 not only allow the lambs to breathe during transport but also provide ventilation for the workstations during long-distance transport and rest stops. Staff can feed and water the lambs in the first and second sheep crates 3 and 4 through the ventilation holes 22 to prevent dehydration during transportation. At the same time, ventilation openings 23 are provided on the outer walls of the first and second sheep crates 3 and 4 to allow ventilation for the lambs and air circulation within the crates. The outer walls of the first and second sheep crates 3 and 4 are detachably connected to sealing covers 24 to seal the crates and prevent the lambs from falling out.

[0053] It should also be noted that when separating lambs, the separating slide 14 is first moved to a position close to the closing cover 24, the lambs are placed in the vehicle first, and then separated by passing them through the separating slide 14.

[0054] In summary, when transporting ewes and lambs in this lamb transfer vehicle, the sealing cover 24 is first removed, and then a ewe is placed in the loading frame 3. Next, the support roller 11 is rotated from the rotating shaft 10 towards the movable frame 1. At this point, the support roller 11 will be supported on the inner bottom wall of the loading frame 3. Then, the workstation staff slides the partition slide bar 6 from the outside, causing the unfolded nylon cloth 12 to separate the area near the ewe already placed inside. New ewes are then added, and this process is repeated until all subsequent ewes are loaded using the nylon cloth 12 and the partition slide bar 6. Separate the lambs, then place the adjusting plate 19 into the appropriate adjusting groove 18 according to the height of the tallest ewe. Next, place the partition plate 21 from the mounting groove 20 into the lamb loading frame 4. Then, place the lambs into the lamb loading frame 4 and slide the partition slide bar 14 close to the lambs in the lamb loading frame 4 to separate them. Then, continue to put in lambs and slide the partition slide bar 14 to move the partition plate 16 and the folding cloth 17 to separate the lambs, so as to avoid the lambs colliding during transportation. Then, close the sealing cover 24 to seal the lamb loading frame 3 and the lamb loading frame 4, and the loaded ewes and lambs can be transported.

[0055] 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.
