Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to equipment for sheep in livestock farming, specifically a portable ewe insemination cart. Background Technology
[0002] In current large-scale livestock farming, artificial insemination is widely used as a breeding method to obtain superior breeds and offspring, especially in sheep farming, where it has become widely adopted.
[0003] Artificial insemination of sheep is generally performed inside the sheepfold. The conventional procedure involves hanging the ewe upside down by her hind legs from the fence before insemination. This process typically requires three to four people, consuming a significant amount of manpower and labor, and is prone to injuring the ewe's hind legs. Furthermore, this process requires the use of sheepfold fencing, which presents considerable limitations. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a portable ewe insemination cart, which primarily employs a frame structure. The bottom of the frame is equipped with traveling wheels and movable support wheels. When the support wheels are released, the frame tilts forward. During use, the sheep stands on the frame and the support wheels are released, raising the sheep's tail to facilitate insemination.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A portable ewe insemination cart, comprising a cart body, a neck clamp, and a support frame;
[0007] The vehicle body includes a floor and a railing set on the floor. The railing is set on both sides and the front of the floor, but there is no railing at the rear. The bottom rear of the floor is equipped with wheels.
[0008] The neck clamp is located above the fence at the front of the base plate;
[0009] The base plate and the front of the fence are equipped with hinged brackets. The bottom of the brackets is equipped with bracket wheels. When the brackets are vertical, the bracket wheels support the front of the vehicle body to keep the vehicle body horizontal. When the brackets are opened to the front, the front of the vehicle body touches the ground and the vehicle body is tilted forward.
[0010] Furthermore, the neck clamp includes uprights and a stop bar. The uprights consist of two symmetrical pillars, which are respectively located above the front fence. A horizontal bar is provided in the middle of the uprights, and an inverted J-shaped stop bar is provided between the uprights and the horizontal bar. Space is left between the corresponding stop bars of the two uprights for the sheep's neck to be caught.
[0011] Furthermore, the neck clamp also includes a neck clamp lock located at the front of the top of the column.
[0012] The neck clamp lock includes a locking rod, which is hinged to the front top of one of the columns. A neck clamp latch is provided in front top of the corresponding other column, and the neck clamp latch locks and releases the free end of the locking rod.
[0013] Furthermore, the neck clip includes a U-shaped clip, which is fixedly connected to the front top of the column. The U-shaped clip supports the free end of the locking rod. The top of the column and the top of the U-shaped clip are respectively provided with notches and slots on the same horizontal plane. A rotating locking plate is provided in the notch and slot at the top of the column. After the locking rod falls into the U-shaped clip, the rotating locking plate enters the notch and slot on the U-shaped clip. The locking plate blocks the top of the locking rod to achieve the locking effect.
[0014] The top of the bracket is hinged to the center of the front of the fence, and a bracket lock is provided below the front of the fence to lock the middle of the bracket.
[0015] Furthermore, the bracket lock includes a lock frame, lock teeth, and springs; the lock frame is connected to the front of the fence, the lock frame is a plate-shaped structure, and the lock frame has two pieces corresponding to the two sides of the bracket; one of the lock frames has a lock hole through which the lock teeth pass, the lock teeth are provided through the lock hole, and a spring is provided at the rear of the lock teeth; the fence is also provided with a limiting plate to support the springs.
[0016] Furthermore, the rear of the locking tooth is provided with a sliding post, the spring is located on the outside of the sliding post, and the limiting plate is provided with a through hole corresponding to the sliding post; the rear of the locking tooth is provided with a ring plate to prevent it from dislodging forward from the lock hole, and the two ends of the spring are respectively supported by the ring plate and the limiting plate; when the locking tooth slides open and closes in the lock hole, the sliding post slides and is positioned in the through hole.
[0017] The present invention, by adopting the above-described technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] The device has a simple overall structure, making it easy to manufacture and use. First, the combination of the walking wheels and the support wheels makes it easy to push. Second, the movable structure of the support and the support wheels can serve as the walking wheels for the vehicle to move, and can also be rotated so that the front of the vehicle touches the ground. The tilt angle formed after the front of the vehicle touches the ground lifts the rear of the sheep inside the vehicle, making it easier for insemination.
[0019] This device requires only 1 to 2 people to perform insemination, greatly saving manpower. At the same time, this device does not require hanging the sheep upside down by its hind legs, avoiding injury to the ewe's hind legs. In addition, this device has good flexibility and can be pushed and moved as needed. Attached Figure Description
