Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting equipment technology, specifically to an energy-saving sheepfold lighting adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] Sheepfold lighting plays a crucial role in modern sheep farming. Appropriate lighting not only promotes sheep's metabolism and enhances their immunity, but also creates a comfortable breeding environment and reduces stress in sheep through reasonable lighting duration and intensity. With the expansion of sheep farming scale, optimizing and upgrading sheepfold lighting technology has become an important aspect of improving farming efficiency.

[0003] Utility model patent application number CN201620886278.8 discloses a sheepfold for raising black goats. The sheepfold includes a roof, which is a closed structure and installed on top of the sheepfold body via a supporting frame. Multiple lighting fixtures are also installed on the top wall of the sheepfold body. The addition of lighting fixtures makes the interior of the sheepfold body brighter, allowing livestock workers to observe and manage the goats effectively even in dark environments, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire feeding process.

[0004] Although the sheepfolds used for black goat farming are conveniently illuminated by lights, these lights have the following problems in actual use: The lights are installed on the roof of the sheepfold to achieve a wide area of ​​illumination. Generally, the height of sheepfolds varies depending on the scale of farming, breed of sheep, and building design, with common sheepfold heights around 3-5 meters. Over long-term use, the lights inevitably become damaged. Due to their high installation position, users must use ladders to climb up and replace them. This operation is not only extremely inconvenient but also carries a high risk, such as the risk of falls during climbing, endangering personnel safety. Therefore, we propose an energy-saving sheepfold lighting adjustment device. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, the energy-saving sheepfold lighting adjustment device includes a fixing part 1, which includes two symmetrical fixing plates 10. A first connecting rod 11 is fixed at each of the four corners between the two fixing plates 10. A lead screw 13 is rotatably installed between the two fixing plates 10. A motor 12 for driving the lead screw 13 is installed on the top of the upper fixing plate 10. A dimmer 16 for adjusting the light intensity is also installed on one side of the top of the upper fixing plate 10. A connecting part 2 is provided below the fixing part 1. The connecting part 2 includes two symmetrical mounting plates 20, and the lead screw 13 is threadedly connected to the upper mounting plate 20. Second connecting rods 21 are fixed at the four corners of the mounting plates 20. The second connecting rods 21 pass through the lower fixing plate 10 and are slidably connected to the fixing plate 10. A detachable lighting lamp 3 is installed at the bottom of the lower mounting plate 20. A stretchable spiral power cord 4 is also installed above the lighting lamp 3. The bottom end of the spiral power cord 4 is electrically connected to the lighting lamp 3, and the top end of the spiral power cord 4 passes through the mounting plate 20 and the fixing plate 10 and is electrically connected to the dimmer 16. Limiting components 5 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the spiral power cord 4, and the upper and lower limiting components 5 are fixed to the mounting plate 20 and the fixing plate 10, respectively. The limiting components 5 include a mounting frame 50. A clamping block 51 is slidably installed in the top opening of the mounting frame 50. Each of the two opposing end faces of the two clamping blocks 51 has a clamping groove 510 for clamping the spiral power cord 4. Each of the two opposing end faces of the two clamping blocks 51 has a threaded rod 52 rotatably installed. The threaded rod 52 passes through the mounting frame 50 and is threadedly connected to the mounting frame 50. The clamping block 51 slides within the mounting bracket 50. The clamping force of the clamping block 51 on the spiral power cord 4 is adjusted by the threaded rod 52 to achieve stable positioning of the spiral power cord 4, preventing it from shaking or shifting when the lighting lamp 3 is raised or lowered. It also facilitates the extension and retraction of the spiral section of the spiral power cord 4, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the device.

[0037] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 50 has a U-shaped cross-section, and the opening size of the mounting bracket 50 is adapted to the size of the clamping block 51. This design allows the clamping block 51 to slide smoothly and stably within the mounting bracket 50, preventing the clamping block 51 from shifting or jamming during adjustment, thereby ensuring the clamping effect on the spiral power cable 4, further ensuring the stability of the spiral power cable 4 during device operation, and extending its service life.

[0038] In this embodiment, an adjusting head 53 is coaxially keyed to the end of the threaded rod 52. The adjusting head 53 has a regular hexagonal cross-sectional shape. This design facilitates the rotation of the threaded rod 52 and improves the ease of operation.

[0039] In this embodiment, the dimmer 16 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 10 by bolts, and the dimmer 16 is connected in series with the spiral power line 4. The bolt fixing ensures that the dimmer 16 is firmly installed and not easily loosened. The series connection method allows the dimmer 16 to directly adjust the current passing through the spiral power line 4, realizing precise control of the light intensity of the lighting lamp 3, ensuring that the lighting in the sheepfold meets different needs, and the installation and maintenance are relatively convenient.

[0040] In this embodiment, both ends of the upper fixing plate 10 are fixedly connected to L-shaped brackets 17 by bolts, and the brackets 17 have multiple mounting holes 170. The mounting holes 170 increase the flexibility of the device installation, making it convenient to select different installation positions according to the actual layout and needs of the sheepfold.

[0041] In this embodiment, a guide rod 14 is bolted between the two fixed plates 10 on one side of the lead screw 13. The guide rod 14 is slidably connected to the upper mounting plate 20. The guide rod 14 provides stable guidance for the lifting and lowering of the upper mounting plate 20. Together with the lead screw 13, it makes the lifting and lowering process of the lighting lamp 3 driven by the mounting plate 20 smoother, avoiding shaking or tilting, and improving the reliability of the device operation.

[0042] In this embodiment, both the fixing plate 10 and the mounting plate 20 have rectangular cross-sectional shapes, and both are steel plate stamping structures. The rectangular structure design is simple and stable, and the steel plate stamping process ensures the strength and precision of the plate. This structure can withstand large external forces and is not easily deformed when supporting the lifting and lowering of the lighting lamp 3 and connecting its own components, thus ensuring the long-term stable operation of the device.

[0043] It is understood that the upper mounting bracket 50 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper fixing plate 10 by bolts, and the lower mounting bracket 50 is fastened to the top of the upper mounting plate 20 by bolts. In this embodiment, the spiral power cord 4 consists of a spiral segment and straight segments located at the upper and lower ends of the spiral segment. The clamping groove 510 mainly clamps the straight segments on both the upper and lower sides of the spiral power cord 4. When the mounting plate 20 moves up and down, the spiral power cord 4 will be subjected to a corresponding tensile force. The clamping groove 510 plays a crucial limiting role; during this process, only the spiral segment of the spiral power cord 4 will be stretched, while the connection points between the spiral power cord 4 and the dimmer 16 and the lighting lamp 3 will not be subjected to additional tension. This effectively ensures the stability and reliability of each connection point, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the lighting system.

[0044] When adjusting the height of the lighting lamp 3, the user first turns on the power to the motor 12. The motor 12 starts working, and the output shaft of the motor 12 drives the lead screw 13 to rotate. Since the lead screw 13 is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 20 above, the rotation of the lead screw 13 causes the mounting plate 20 to move linearly. The mounting plate 20 moves downward along the lead screw 13, and at the same time, the spiral section of the spiral power cable 4 is stretched. The second connecting rod 21, which is fixed at the four corners between the two mounting plates 20, moves together with the mounting plates 20. The movement of the mounting plates 20 directly drives the lighting lamp 3 installed at its bottom to move downward. When the lighting lamp 3 reaches the desired height, the motor 12 is turned off, the lead screw 13 stops rotating, the mounting plate 20 stops moving, and the lighting lamp 3 is fixed at the current height. The height adjustment is then complete.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] Please see Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides the following technical solution based on embodiment 1: The bottom of the lower fixing plate 10 is fixedly connected to fixing frames 26 on both the left and right sides by bolts. The fixing frame 26 has a U-shaped cross-section. Support frames 22 are fixed to the outer walls of the fixing frames 26. A threaded post 23 is rotatably installed at the center of each support frame 22. An adjusting screw is coaxially keyed to the end of the threaded post 23 facing away from the fixing frame 26. A movable plate 24 is provided inside the opening of the support frame 22. The threaded post 23 is threadedly connected to the movable plate 24. Two insertion rods 25 are fixed to the two opposite end faces of the two movable plates 24, and the insertion rods 25 pass through the fixing frames 26. The top of the lighting lamp 3 is located between the two fixing frames 26. Two insertion holes 30 are opened at the top of the outer walls on both sides of the lighting lamp 3, and the insertion rods 25 are inserted into the corresponding insertion holes 30.

[0047] With the above settings, rotating the adjusting screw drives the threaded column 23, causing the movable plate 24 to move, thereby adjusting the insertion state of the plug rod 25 and the socket 30 of the lighting lamp 3, so as to conveniently and quickly realize the installation and removal of the lighting lamp 3 and improve maintenance efficiency.

[0048] In this embodiment, guide rails 220 are fixed on both sides of the support frame 22, and guide grooves that are slidably connected to the guide rails 220 are provided at both ends of the movable plate 24. The guide rails 220 guide the horizontal movement of the movable plate 24, ensuring that the movable plate 24 moves smoothly.

[0049] When disassembling the lighting lamp 3, the user first rotates the adjusting screw that is coaxially keyed with the threaded column 23. Because the threaded column 23 is threadedly connected to the movable plate 24, the movable plate 24 moves accordingly within the opening of the support frame 22. When the movable plate 24 moves, the insertion rod 25 fixed on its opposite end face moves synchronously. The insertion rod 25 is gradually pulled out from the insertion hole 30 at the top of the outer wall on both sides of the lighting lamp 3 until it is completely separated, thus terminating the insertion connection between the lighting lamp 3 and the fixing frame 26. Finally, the lighting lamp 3 is directly removed from between the two fixing frames 26 to complete the disassembly work.

[0050] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
