Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock restraint technology, and more specifically, to a restraint frame for auxiliary positioning. Background Technology
[0002] A livestock restraint frame is a device used to fix and control livestock to prevent injury during operations and to facilitate handling. It is a common piece of equipment in animal husbandry and is used for veterinary care, vaccination, hair removal, hoof trimming, mating, marking, and drug injection. However, the fixed space of the restraint frame reduces the convenience of operation. Because its size and space are mostly fixed structures, it cannot adapt to livestock of different sizes, and it is inconvenient to handle larger livestock.
[0003] According to patent publication number CN221308460U, an adjustable livestock restraint frame is disclosed, which includes a support plate. An adjustment component is fixedly connected above the support plate. The adjustment component includes a positioning gear movably mounted on the upper surface of the support plate. This structure can flexibly adjust the size between the restraint frames to ensure flexible operation for livestock of different sizes, thereby increasing the convenience of use.
[0004] However, in actual use, such as the inability to adjust the restraint frame according to the size of the animal, the use is not flexible and it is easy to cause injury to the animal during the positioning process. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a restraining frame for auxiliary positioning to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

Connecting blocks 7 are fixedly installed on both sides of the fence frame 1. A pulling component is provided in front of the connecting blocks 7. A movable door 8 is hinged at the bottom of the fence frame 1.
[0030] In some embodiments, according to Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the protection component includes a first stepper motor 9 fixed on one side of the L-shaped plate 2. The output end of the first stepper motor 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3. A gear 10 is fixedly provided on the outside of the rotating shaft 3. A rack 11 is hinged to the outside of the gear 10. A slide 12 is slidably provided on the rear side of the rack 11. The slide 12 is fixedly connected to the fence frame 1.
[0031] In some embodiments, according to Figure 3 As shown, a movable plate 13 is fixedly provided on the top of the rack 11, and a rubber protective plate 14 is provided on one side of the movable plate 13. Multiple telescopic frames 15 are provided between the rubber protective plate 14 and the movable plate 13. The multiple telescopic frames 15 are slidably connected to each other. The movable plate 13 and the rubber protective plate 14 are fixedly connected to the telescopic frames 15. The telescopic frames 15 can work in conjunction with the rubber arc-shaped protective frame 5 to extend and retract when the electric cylinder 4 is working.
[0032] In some embodiments, according to Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a limiting plate 16 fixed to the top of the rubber arc-shaped protective frame 5. Electric push rods 17 are fixed on both sides of the limiting plate 16. A driving block 18 is fixed at the output end of the electric push rod 17. The driving block 18 is fixedly connected to the rubber arc-shaped protective frame 5. The rubber arc-shaped protective frame 5 can fit the sides of the animal's body and protect it from injury while positioning the animal.
[0033] In some embodiments, according to Figure 1 , 5 As shown, the pulling assembly includes a base plate 19 hinged to the bottom of the fence frame 1. A placement groove 20 is provided on the surface of the base plate 19. Two brackets 21 are fixedly provided on the top of the base plate 19. A rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the inner side of each of the two brackets 21. The placement groove 20 can provide placement space for the movable plate 13 and the first stepper motor 9 when the fence frame 1 is tilted.
[0034] In some embodiments, according to Figure 5As shown, the rotating shaft 22 passes through the bracket 21 and extends to one side of the bracket 21. A second stepper motor 23 is fixedly installed on one side of both brackets 21. The output end of the second stepper motor 23 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 22. The bracket 21 can provide support for the rotating shaft 22 to ensure that the rotating shaft 22 can work smoothly.
[0035] In some embodiments, according to Figure 1 , 5 As shown, a pulley 24 is fixedly provided on the outside of the rotating shaft 22, and a cable 25 is fixedly provided on the outside of the pulley 24. One end of the cable 25 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 7. The rotation of the rotating shaft 22 can drive the pulley 24 to rotate, thereby causing the cable 25 to pull the connecting block 7.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: (refer to the appendix of the instruction manual) Figure 1-5 As shown, according to the needs, the electric push rod 17 can be activated to drive the block 18 to move, which in turn drives the rubber arc-shaped protective frame 5 to slide, so that the extension area of the rubber arc-shaped protective frame 5 matches the size of the animal that needs to be positioned. Then, the fence gate 6 is opened to drive the animal that needs to be positioned into the fence frame 1. After closing the fence gate 6, the first step motor 9 is activated to drive the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. The rotating shaft 3 then drives the gear 10 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 10 drives the rack 11 to move upward. The rack 11 then drives the movable plate 13 to move upward. The movable plate 13 then drives the telescopic frame 15 to move upward. The telescopic frame 15 then drives the rubber protective plate 14 to move upward to the abdomen of the animal for protection and positioning. At the same time, the electric cylinder 4 is activated to bring the rubber arc-shaped protective frame 5 close to the animal until the animal is clamped and fixed. Then the fence gate 6 can be opened or the animal can be directly passed through the fence gate 6 to perform medical or other operations.
[0037] When it is necessary to operate on the animal's feet or other bottom areas, the second stepper motor 23 can be started to drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, thereby driving the pulley 24 to rotate. The pulley 24 then causes the cable 25 to work, thereby pulling the connecting block 7 to move. Since the second stepper motor 23 on the other side causes another rotating shaft 22 to rotate, another cable 25 can be slowly released to work, thereby causing the fence frame 1 to tilt as a whole while ensuring that the fence frame 1 can tilt stably without directly hitting the bottom plate 19. After the fence frame 1 and the animal are flipped over together and close to the bottom plate 19, the movable door 8 can be opened to operate on the bottom of the animal.
[0038] 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
