Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sow farrowing crate technology, specifically a farrowing crate for sows. Background Technology
[0002] Farrowing crates for sows, also known as high-rise farrowing pens, are specialized pens designed specifically for sows to give birth and nurse piglets. They provide a clean, tidy, and quiet environment for the sow, helping her remain comfortable during labor, reducing stress, and thus promoting postpartum recovery and milk production. The design of the farrowing crate also considers piglet safety; by using sow positioning frames and piglet enclosures, it effectively prevents the sow from crushing, trampling, or killing piglets during farrowing or nursing. Farrowing crates play multiple roles in pig farming, including providing a suitable farrowing environment, protecting piglets, facilitating management, improving production efficiency, and promoting sow health. However, existing farrowing crates cannot adjust the space distribution according to the different sizes of sows, making it difficult to achieve optimal restraint for the sow. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a farrowing crate for sows, which effectively solves the problem that existing farrowing crates cannot adjust the space distribution according to the different body sizes of sows, making it difficult to achieve the best restraint effect on sows.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a farrowing crate for sows, comprising a support platform, a protective railing fixedly installed on the top of the support platform, support legs fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the support platform, a protective door hinged to one side of the protective railing, an isolation railing in the middle of the top of the support platform, side plates fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the support platform, several slots equally spaced on the side of the two side plates that are close to each other, plugs inserted into the slots in the middle of the two side plates, a handle on one side of the support platform, and an adjustment component on one side of the handle, the adjustment component being connected to the isolation railing and the two plugs in a transmission connection, when the handle is adjusted, power is output to the isolation railing and the two plugs through the adjustment component, causing the isolation railing to move to the adjusted position and the two plugs to be inserted into the two corresponding slots for locking.
[0005] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes two connecting rods, both of which are fixedly installed on one side of the handle. A push bar is fixedly installed between one end of the two connecting rods. A transmission frame is sleeved on both ends of the lower part of the push bar. Two slide rods are fixedly installed on the ends of the two transmission frames that are far apart from each other. One end of the two slide rods on the same side is fixedly connected to two plugs respectively.
[0006] Preferably, each of the four slide bars is fitted with a return spring, and a sliding sleeve is fitted between the surfaces of two slide bars on the same side. The two ends of the four return springs are fixedly connected to the plug and the sliding sleeve, respectively. A support bar is fixedly installed between the tops of the two sliding sleeves, and support arms are fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the support bar. The tops of the two support arms extend to the upper part of the support platform and are fixedly connected to the two ends of the bottom of the guardrail.
[0007] Preferably, two fixing strips are symmetrically fixedly installed on the surfaces of the two connecting rods respectively, and limit rods are fixedly installed on the lower part of one end of each of the four fixing strips. Two connecting strips are fixedly installed on one side of the support strip. Limit holes are opened at both ends of the surfaces of the two connecting strips. The four limit rods are respectively inserted into the four limit holes. A telescopic spring is sleeved on the surface of each of the four limit rods. The two ends of the four telescopic springs are respectively fixedly connected to the fixing strips and the connecting strips.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the operator presses the handle down and moves it down. When the handle moves down, it drives the push bar down through the two connecting rods. When the push bar moves down, it pushes the two transmission frames to move towards each other. When the two transmission frames move towards each other, it drives the four slide rods to slide inside the two sliding sleeves. When the four slide rods move, they drive the two plugs to move towards each other and simultaneously squeeze the four return springs. When the two plugs move towards each other, they will both be pushed out of the slot and released from the limit.
[0009] As the two connecting rods move downward, the four fixing bars will drive the four limiting rods to move downward along the inside of the four limiting holes, and at the same time squeeze the four telescopic springs, so as to ensure the stability of the movement of the two connecting rods while giving them an elastic reset effect.
[0010] Then, while maintaining pressure on the handle, the operator pulls or pushes it as needed. As the handle moves, it moves the two support arms via the support bars, which in turn move the isolation fence to adjust its position. Once the fence is in position, the operator releases the handle. The elastic force of the four telescopic springs then moves the push bar upwards and resets via the two connecting rods. Simultaneously, the four reset springs, under their elastic force, push the two plugs into their corresponding slots via the four sliding rods for limiting installation. This quickly completes the adaptive adjustment of the isolation fence, allowing the farrowing crate to adjust its space distribution according to the size of different sows, thus achieving the best restraint effect for the sows.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Depend on Figures 1 to 5The present invention includes a support platform 1, a protective railing 2 fixedly installed on the top of the support platform 1, support legs 3 fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the support platform 1, a protective door 4 hinged to one side of the protective railing 2, an isolation railing 5 in the middle of the top of the support platform 1, side plates 6 fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the support platform 1, and several slots 7 equally spaced on the side of the two side plates 6 that are close to each other, with plugs 8 inserted into the slots 7 in the middle of the two side plates 6, and a handle 11 on one side of the bottom of the support platform 1, with an adjustment component on one side of the handle 11. The adjustment component is connected to the isolation railing 5 and the two plugs 8 through a transmission connection. When the handle 11 is adjusted, it will output power to the isolation railing 5 and the two plugs 8 through the adjustment component, so that the isolation railing 5 moves to the adjustment position and the two plugs 8 are inserted into the two corresponding slots 7 for locking.
[0021] In use, the operator presses the handle 11 to activate the adjustment component. This movement causes the two plugs 8 to move towards each other, pushing them out of the slots 7 and releasing the barrier 5. Then, while maintaining pressure on the handle 11, the operator pulls or pushes it as needed, moving the barrier 5 to adjust its position. Once the barrier 5 is in position, the operator releases the handle 11, and the adjustment component pushes the two plugs 8 into the corresponding slots 7 for positioning, quickly adapting the barrier 5. This allows the farrowing crate to adjust its space distribution according to the size of different sows, achieving optimal restraint.
[0022] The adjustment assembly includes two connecting rods 12, both of which are fixedly installed on one side of the handle 11. A push bar 18 is fixedly installed between one end of the two connecting rods 12. A transmission frame 19 is sleeved on both ends of the lower part of the push bar 18. Two slide rods 20 are fixedly installed on the ends of the two transmission frames 19 that are far apart from each other. One end of the two slide rods 20 on the same side is fixedly connected to two plugs 8 respectively.
[0023] Each of the four slide bars 20 is fitted with a return spring 21. A slide sleeve 22 is fitted between the surfaces of two slide bars 20 on the same side. The two ends of the four return springs 21 are fixedly connected to the plug 8 and the slide sleeve 22 respectively. A support bar 10 is fixedly installed between the tops of the two slide sleeves 22. Support arms 9 are fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the support bar 10. The tops of the two support arms 9 extend to the upper part of the support platform 1 and are fixedly connected to the two ends of the bottom of the isolation barrier 5.
[0024] Two fixing strips 13 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the surfaces of the two connecting rods 12. Limiting rods 14 are fixedly installed on the lower part of one end of each of the four fixing strips 13. Two connecting strips 17 are fixedly installed on one side of the support strip 10. Limiting holes 16 are opened at both ends of the surfaces of the two connecting strips 17. The four limiting rods 14 are respectively inserted into the four limiting holes 16. The surfaces of the four limiting rods 14 are fitted with telescopic springs 15. The two ends of the four telescopic springs 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the fixing strips 13 and the connecting strips 17.
[0025] When the operator presses the handle 11 down, the handle 11 moves down and drives the push bar 18 down through the two connecting rods 12. When the push bar 18 moves down, it pushes the two transmission frames 19 to move towards each other. When the two transmission frames 19 move towards each other, they drive the four slide rods 20 to slide inside the two sliding sleeves 22. When the four slide rods 20 move, they drive the two plugs 8 to move towards each other and simultaneously squeeze the four return springs 21. When the two plugs 8 move towards each other, they will both be pushed out of the slot 7 to release the limit.
[0026] As the two connecting rods 12 move downward, the four fixing bars 13 drive the four limiting rods 14 to move downward along the inside of the four limiting holes 16, and at the same time squeeze the four telescopic springs 15, so as to ensure the stability of the movement of the two connecting rods 12 while giving them the effect of elastic reset.
[0027] Then, while keeping the handle 11 pressed down, the operator pulls or pushes the handle 11 to move it as needed. When the handle 11 moves, it will drive the two support arms 9 to move through the support bar 10. When the two support arms 9 move, they will drive the isolation barrier 5 to move and adjust its position. After the position of the isolation barrier 5 is adjusted, the operator releases the handle 11. Under the elastic force of the four telescopic springs 15, the push bar 18 will move upward and reset through the two connecting rods 12. At the same time, under the elastic force of the four reset springs 21, the two plugs 8 will be pushed into the corresponding two slots 7 through the four slide rods 20 for limiting installation, thereby quickly completing the adaptive adjustment of the isolation barrier 5.
