[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a weighing, grouping, and restraining device for cattle farms, including a restraining frame 1. A grouping frame 2 is provided on one side of the restraining frame 1. A tail gate 3 is provided on the side of the restraining frame 1 away from the grouping frame 2, and a head gate 4 is provided on the side of the restraining frame 1 away from the tail gate 3. The tail gate 3 and the head gate 4 have the same structure. Cattle to be restrained can enter the restraining frame 1 through the tail gate 3 and enter the grouping frame 2 through the head gate 4. An extension guardrail 5 is provided on the side of the head gate 4 away from the restraining frame 1, and the length of the extension guardrail 5 is adjustable. This improves the ease of placement of the restraint bracket 1 and the grouping bracket 2. The grouping bracket 2 is provided with a grouping gate 6 away from the restraint bracket 1. There are two grouping gates 6 on each side of the grouping bracket 2, and there are multiple grouping gates 6. This allows cattle that have been weighed and restrained to be grouped according to their weight through different grouping gates 6. The grouping gate 6 is fixedly connected to the grouping bracket 2 through a positioning component 7. The side of the grouping gate 6 away from the positioning component 7 is movably connected to the grouping bracket 2, and the other side of the grouping gate 6 is fixedly connected to the grouping bracket 2 through the positioning component 7.
[0022] The head door 4 includes two door panels 41. The upper parts of the two door panels 41 are respectively movably connected to the restraining bracket 1 via a first guide sleeve 42 and a second guide sleeve 43. Both the first guide sleeve 42 and the second guide sleeve 43 are movably connected to the restraining bracket 1 and can move horizontally on the restraining bracket 1. A hydraulic cylinder 44 is provided on the restraining bracket 1 near the first guide sleeve 42. The stroke end of the hydraulic cylinder 44 is movably connected to a first connecting plate 45. The door panels 41 below the first connecting plate 45 and below the second guide sleeve 43 are... The first connecting plate 45 is movably connected to the second connecting plate 46 via a pin. The side of the second connecting plate 46 away from the first connecting plate 45 is movably connected to the first guide sleeve 42. When the hydraulic cylinder 44 is working, when the hydraulic cylinder 44 pulls the first connecting plate 45, the first connecting plate 45 rotates around the stroke end of the hydraulic cylinder 44. The lower end of the first connecting plate 45 pulls one door panel 41, and the upper end of the first connecting plate 45 pushes the second connecting plate 46. Through the transmission of the second connecting plate 46, the second connecting plate 46 can push the other door panel 41, thereby opening both door panels 41.
[0023] A U-shaped limiting plate 47 is provided below the door panel 41, and a guide rail 48 matching the U-shaped limiting plate 47 is provided on the fixing bracket 1. The U-shaped limiting plate 47 can slide on the guide rail 48. Through the cooperation between the U-shaped limiting plate 47 and the guide rail 48, the movement stability of the door panel 41 is effectively improved.
[0024] The bottom of the restraint bracket 1 is equipped with a weighing sensor, which can weigh the cattle when they enter the restraint bracket 1.
[0025] The extended guardrail 5 includes four fixed tubes 51, with two fixed tubes 51 on each door panel 41. Each fixed tube 51 contains an inner tube 52, and an outer tube 53 is sleeved around the outer side of the inner tube 52. Multiple equidistant positioning holes 54 are provided on both sides of the inner tube 52. The outer tube 53 and the inner tube 52 are fixedly connected by positioning pins 55. Two outer tubes 53 located on the same door panel 41 are fixedly connected by a handle 56. The inner tube 52 and the outer tube 53 are movably connected. By changing the degree of connection between the inner tube 52 and the outer tube 53, the overall width of the extended guardrail 5 can be adjusted. When the positioning pins 55 are inserted into different positioning holes 54, the outer tube 53 and the inner tube 52 can be stably connected.
[0026] The positioning component 7 includes a guide tube 71, which is fixedly connected to the grouping gate 6. A pull rod 72 is inserted into the end of the guide tube 71 away from the grouping gate 6. A limiting block 73 is provided in the middle of the inner end of the pull rod 72 inside the guide tube 71. A spring 74 is sleeved between the limiting block 73 and the guide tube 71 on the pull rod 72. The outer end of the pull rod 72 is fixedly connected to a pull ring 75. The grouping bracket 2 has a connecting hole that matches the pull rod 72. The pull rod 72 is movably connected to the guide tube 71. The setting of 75 makes it easier for staff to pull the pull rod 72. When the pull ring 75 is pulled, the pull ring 75 drives the pull rod 72 to move, the limit block 73 squeezes the spring 74, and the positioning rod 73 disengages from the inside of the connecting hole. At this time, the group gate 6 can be opened and closed. When the positioning rod 73 and the connecting hole are in the same vertical plane, under the action of the spring force of the spring 74, the positioning rod 73 automatically inserts into the inside of the connecting hole. Through the mutual cooperation between the positioning rod 73 and the connecting hole, the group gate 6 and the group support 2 can be stably connected.
[0027] The Baoding bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 8. An automatic controller 9 is provided on the side of the mounting frame 8 away from the Baoding bracket 1. A manual controller 10 is provided below the automatic controller 9. The working status of the Baoding equipment can be displayed and controlled through the automatic controller 9, and the manual controller 10 can be manually controlled by the Baoding equipment.
[0028] A hydraulic station 11 is provided on one side of the Baoding support 1.
[0029] Specifically, in this invention, cattle awaiting restraint can enter the restraint bracket 1 through the tailgate 3 and the grouping bracket 2 through the headgate 4. When the hydraulic cylinder 44 is working, it pulls the first connecting plate 45, causing the first connecting plate 45 to rotate around its stroke end. The lower end of the first connecting plate 45 pulls one door panel 41, and the upper end pushes the second connecting plate 46. Through the transmission of the second connecting plate 46, it can push another door panel 41. Thus, the hydraulic cylinder 44 can control the opening and closing of the tailgate 3 and the headgate 4. Multiple grouping gates 6 are provided, allowing cattle to pass through the weighing and restraint area. Cattle can be grouped according to their weight through different grouping gates 6. When the pull ring 75 is pulled, the pull ring 75 drives the pull rod 72 to move, and the limit block 73 squeezes the spring 74. The positioning rod 73 disengages from the inside of the connecting hole. At this time, the grouping gate 6 can be opened and closed. When the positioning rod 73 and the connecting hole are in the same vertical plane, under the action of the spring force 74, the positioning rod 73 automatically inserts into the inside of the connecting hole. Through the cooperation between the positioning rod 73 and the connecting hole, the grouping gate 6 and the grouping support 2 can be stably connected.
[0030] 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.
