Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheep farming technology, and in particular to a fence structure for sheep farming. Background Technology
[0002] Sheep farming, as an important part of animal husbandry, plays a vital role in meeting people's growing demand for meat. In sheep farming, fencing structures are a key facility, not only limiting the sheep's movement and preventing escape, but also significantly impacting their safety and improving farming efficiency. As a major component of the fencing structure, the design and durability of protective fences directly affect the daily management and operational effectiveness of the farm.
[0003] However, the limited functionality of existing sheep pen structures is becoming increasingly apparent. Traditional pens mostly serve only a simple protective function, lacking necessary cushioning design. Because sheep are naturally active and playful, they frequently run and jump within the pen, especially when startled or searching for food, making them more prone to impacting the fence. This frequent impact not only easily damages the pen structure itself, causing deformation, cracking, or even breakage, but also severely affects its normal function, bringing numerous inconveniences to the daily management of the farm.
[0004] Specifically, existing sheep pen structures often lack effective cushioning mechanisms when impacted by sheep, making it difficult to absorb and disperse the impact force. This leads to faster fence damage and a significantly shorter lifespan, increasing maintenance costs for farms and potentially causing sheep to escape or get injured, thus negatively impacting both the farm's economic benefits and sheep welfare. Therefore, to address these shortcomings, we urgently need an innovative sheep pen structure to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fence structure for sheep farming, which solves the problem that existing sheep farming fences often fail to absorb and disperse impact forces when faced with sheep collisions due to the lack of an effective buffer mechanism. This leads to faster fence damage and a significantly shortened service life, which not only increases the maintenance costs of the farm but may also cause sheep to escape or get injured due to fence damage.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A fence structure for sheep farming includes a frame, a bearing plate slidably connected to the inner side of the frame, and a plurality of elastic water bags fixedly connected to one side of the bearing plate, with one side of each elastic water bag fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame. Side plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the bearing plate, and an arc-shaped frame is provided on one side of the bearing plate. An elastic arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected between two bearing plates, with one end of each elastic arc-shaped plate penetrating through the arc-shaped frame. Insert rods are fixedly connected to the four corners at the bottom of the frame.
[0008] Preferably, sliders are fixedly connected to the upper and lower parts of both sides of the bearing plate, and all four sliders are slidably connected to the inner wall of the frame through grooves.
[0009] Preferably, one end of each of the two flexible curved plates passes through the two sides of the curved frame via a slot.
[0010] Preferably, an anti-slip plate is fixedly connected to one side of the arc-shaped frame.
[0011] Preferably, one side of the load-bearing plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame through several dampers.
[0012] Preferably, a valve body is installed on the lower side of all the elastic water bags.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This invention effectively absorbs the force of sheep impacts by introducing cushioning mechanisms such as elastic water bags and elastic arc-shaped plates, reducing fence deformation, cracking, and breakage, significantly extending the fence's lifespan, lowering farm maintenance costs, and significantly improving the fence's stability and durability. It effectively prevents sheep from escaping or being injured due to fence damage, ensuring sheep safety and welfare, and reducing economic losses to the farm caused by escaped or injured sheep. The stable fence structure provides a safe and comfortable environment for sheep, promoting their healthy growth and reproduction. Simultaneously, it reduces maintenance work required due to fence damage, allowing farm managers to focus more on other farming tasks and improving efficiency. Addressing the problems of traditional fences' single function and lack of cushioning design, this invention not only provides protection but also possesses a superior cushioning mechanism.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-5A sheep pen structure includes a frame 1, a support plate 2 slidably connected to the inner side of the frame 1, and several elastic water bags 3 fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 2. The elastic water bags 3 are cushioning elements in the pen, increasing its flexibility and providing good cushioning when sheep collide with it. One side of each elastic water bag 3 is fixedly connected to the support plate 2, and the other side is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1. This design not only enhances the stability of the pen but also allows the elastic water bags 3 to better absorb and disperse force upon impact. All elastic water bags 3 have one side fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1. Side plates 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the support plate 2, and one side of the support plate 2 has an arc-shaped frame 6. The arc-shaped frame 6 is not only aesthetically pleasing and practical but also serves as a supporting structure for the elastic arc-shaped plates 5, enhancing the pen's strength. For overall stability, an elastic arc plate 5 is fixedly connected between the two load-bearing plates 2. The elastic arc plate 5 plays a certain role in absorbing force when the sheep collide with it, making the fence more able to withstand the active behavior of the sheep. One end of each of the two elastic arc plates 5 passes through the arc frame 6 and is fixedly connected between the two load-bearing plates 2. This design allows the elastic arc plate 5 to bend and recover flexibly when impacted, thereby absorbing and dispersing the impact force. One end of each of the two elastic arc plates 5 passes through the arc frame 6. Insert rods 7 are fixedly connected at the four corners of the bottom of the frame 1. The insert rods 7 are used to firmly insert the frame 1 into the soil, ensuring that the fence structure will not shake or shift during use. The length and diameter of the insert rods 7 are designed according to actual needs to ensure the stability and durability of the fence.
[0024] Furthermore, sliders 9 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower parts of both sides of the support plate 2, and the four sliders 9 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1 through the sliding groove 10. When installing or adjusting the fence, the support plate 2 can slide in the sliding groove 10 through the sliders 9, thereby adjusting its position in the frame 1 according to actual needs. This makes the position adjustment of the support plate 2 more flexible and convenient, and can adapt to sheep of different sizes or numbers. At the same time, it ensures the stability of the support plate 2 in the frame 1 and prevents it from shaking or shifting during use.
[0025] Furthermore, one end of each of the two elastic arc-shaped plates 5 passes through the two sides of the arc-shaped frame 6 via the slot 11. When installing the fence, one end of the elastic arc-shaped plate 5 is inserted into the slot 11 so that it passes through the two sides of the arc-shaped frame 6, thereby fixing the position of the elastic arc-shaped plate 5 and enhancing the connection stability between the elastic arc-shaped plate 5 and the arc-shaped frame 6. This allows the elastic arc-shaped plate 5 to better play its role in unloading force when it is hit by sheep, while also facilitating the installation and disassembly of the fence.
[0026] Furthermore, an anti-slip plate 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the arc-shaped frame 6. During the use of the fence, the anti-slip plate 12, as one side of the arc-shaped frame 6, is in direct contact with the sheep, preventing the sheep from slipping and falling or getting injured. The installation of the anti-slip plate 12 increases the safety of the fence, protects the welfare of the sheep, and reduces the additional impact on the fence caused by the sheep falling or getting injured.
[0027] Furthermore, one side of the load-bearing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1 through several dampers 8. When sheep collide with the fence, the dampers 8 will absorb and reduce the impact of the collision, preventing the load-bearing plate 2 from being displaced or damaged due to the collision. The setting of the dampers 8 further enhances the buffering capacity of the fence, protects the fence structure from damage, and improves the durability and stability of the fence.
[0028] Furthermore, a valve body 13 is installed on the lower side of all the elastic water bags 3. The opening and closing of the valve body 13 can be used to fill and drain water from the elastic water bags 3.
[0029] In summary:
[0030] When using this sheep pen structure, first, place the pen in a suitable location according to the actual layout and needs of the sheepfold. Next, using the anchor rods 7 fixedly connected to the four corners at the bottom of the frame 1, firmly insert the frame 1 into the soil, ensuring that the pen structure will not shake or shift during use, providing a stable and safe environment for the sheep. The core design of the pen lies in its internal buffer mechanism. The support plate 2 is slidably connected to the inside of the frame 1, and sliders 9 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower parts on both sides. The sliders 9 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1 through grooves 10. This allows the support plate 2 to slide within the grooves 10 via the sliders 9 during installation or adjustment of the pen, thereby adjusting its position within the frame 1 as needed to accommodate sheep of different sizes or numbers, while ensuring the stability of the support plate 2 within the frame 1. Several elastic water bags 3 are fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 2. These elastic water bags 3 not only increase the flexibility of the fence, but also play a good buffering role when sheep collide with it, absorbing and dispersing the impact force and reducing the impact on the fence. One side of all the elastic water bags 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1, further enhancing the stability and durability of the fence structure. At the same time, a valve body 13 is installed on the lower side of all the elastic water bags 3. By opening and closing the valve body 13, water can be injected and discharged into the elastic water bags 3, which facilitates the maintenance and adjustment of the elastic water bags 3. Side plates 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the support plate 2, which enhances the lateral support of the fence and prevents the fence from deforming due to sheep impacting from the side. An arc-shaped frame 6 is also provided on one side of the support plate 2. An anti-slip plate 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the arc-shaped frame 6. The anti-slip plate 12 is in direct contact with the sheep to prevent the sheep from slipping and falling or being injured. Two elastic arc-shaped plates 5 are fixedly connected between the two bearing plates 2, and one end of each elastic arc-shaped plate 5 passes through the two sides of the arc-shaped frame 6 via slots 11, thereby fixing the position of the elastic arc-shaped plates 5. This design is not only aesthetically pleasing and practical, but also plays a certain role in dissipating force when sheep collide with it, making the fence more resistant to the active behavior of sheep. When sheep run, jump, or are startled inside the fence, they may collide with it. At this time, the elastic water bag 3 and the elastic arc-shaped plate 5 will work together to absorb and disperse the impact force, reducing the damage to the fence. At the same time, the damper 8 on the bearing plate 2 will also absorb and mitigate the impact, preventing the bearing plate 2 from undergoing excessive displacement or damage due to the impact. Stability and durability: The frame 1 is firmly inserted into the soil by the insert rod 7, ensuring the stability of the fence structure. The bearing plate 2 is slidably connected to the slide groove 10 by the slider 9, which can adjust the position according to actual needs, while ensuring the stability of the bearing plate 2 within the frame 1. The design of the elastic water bag 3 and the elastic curved plate 5, as well as their fixed connection with the frame 1 and the curved frame 6, further enhances the stability and durability of the fence structure.The elastic water bags 3 on the load-bearing plate 2 provide excellent cushioning when sheep collide with the fence, absorbing and dispersing the impact force and reducing the impact on the fence. The design of the elastic arc plate 5 also plays a role in dissipating force when sheep collide, making the fence more able to withstand the active behavior of sheep. The damper 8 further enhances the fence's cushioning capacity and protects the fence structure from damage.
