When it is necessary to adjust the space or facilitate the entry and exit of the goats, the side door panel 300 can be slid. After sliding to the appropriate position, the limiting ball 330 will lock into the corresponding position of the uprights 120 to lock the side door panel 300 and prevent it from sliding at will. The movable door 400 can rotate around the outer wall of the uprights 120 through the hinge 410. Opening the movable door 400 allows the goats to enter and exit the transfer pen. After closing, it is locked to the outer wall of the other uprights 120 through the door bolt 430 to ensure that the goats will not escape during the transfer process.
[0033] Example 2: Figure 5 and Figure 6 Uprights 120 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the top of the base plate 110. A top plate 130 is fixedly installed on the top of the uprights 120. A groove 111 is provided on the top of the base plate 110. A feed box 200 is inserted into the top of the groove 111. A feed hopper 210 is provided on the inner wall of the feed box 200. A slope is provided at the bottom of the feed hopper 210. A discharge hopper 211 is provided at the front end of the feed hopper 210. A cover plate 220 is rotatably connected to the top outer wall of the feed hopper 210 through a second hinge.
[0034] The specific usage scenario of this embodiment is as follows: The uprights 120 fixed at the four corners of the base plate 110 support the top plate 130 to form a stable structure. The grooves 111 on the base plate 110 are used to insert the feed box 200. The feed bin 210 inside the feed box 200 stores feed. The bottom slope facilitates the feed to slide into the discharge bin 211. When the goats are eating, the feed can flow out from the discharge bin 211. The cover plate 220 on the top of the feed bin 210 can be opened and closed through the second hinge. When not in use, the cover plate 220 is closed to prevent the feed from spilling, deteriorating or being contaminated. When feed needs to be added, the cover plate 220 can be opened.
[0035] Example 3: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top plate 130 has sliding grooves 131 on both sides of its inner wall. The side door panel 300 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding grooves 131. The side door panel 300 has through holes. The first handle 340 is fixedly installed on the bottom side wall of the side door panel 300. The side walls at both ends of the side door panel 300 have circular grooves 310. Several circular grooves 310 are provided vertically. The inner wall of the circular groove 310 is fixedly installed with a spring 320. The outer wall of the end of the spring 320 is fixedly installed with a limiting ball 330. The outer wall of the top of the upright 120 has a hemispherical groove 140. The limiting ball 330 is elastically engaged with the inner wall of the hemispherical groove 140.
[0036] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: The sliding grooves on both sides of the top plate provide sliding tracks for the side door panels, allowing them to slide smoothly. The through holes on the side door panels ensure air circulation within the enclosure. The first handle at the bottom of the side door panel facilitates pushing and pulling by staff. Springs and limit balls are installed in the circular grooves on the front and rear side walls of the side door panel. When the side door panel slides, the limit ball can pop out or retract under the action of the spring. The hemispherical groove on the outer wall of the top of the upright cooperates with the limit ball. When the limit ball slides to the position of the hemispherical groove, it is engaged in the hemispherical groove under the action of the spring, thereby locking the current position of the side door panel. When the position of the side door panel needs to be adjusted, external force pushes the side door panel, causing the limit ball to overcome the spring force and retract into the circular groove, allowing the side door panel to continue sliding.
[0037] Example 4: Figure 1 and Figure 3 There are two movable doors 400 at the front and back. When the movable door 400 is closed, it is located in the gap between the two uprights 120. A second handle 420 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the front end of the movable door 400. A door bolt 430 is installed on the outer wall of the uprights 120. A door bolt buckle is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the movable door 400. The door bolt 430 and the door bolt buckle are engaged and locked.
[0038] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: Two movable doors 400 are installed on the outer wall of the upright 120 via hinges, and can rotate around the upright 120 to open and close. When the movable doors 400 are closed, they are located in the gap between the two uprights 120, which serves to close the transfer enclosure. The second handle 420 on the outer wall of the front end of the movable doors 400 facilitates the opening and closing of the movable doors 400 by the staff. The bolt 430 on the outer wall of the upright 120 cooperates with the bolt buckle on the outer wall of the movable doors 400. After the movable doors 400 are closed, the bolt 430 is inserted into the bolt buckle to lock the movable doors 400, preventing the goats from pushing open the movable doors 400 and escaping during the transfer process. When it is necessary to open the movable doors 400, the bolt 430 can be pulled out to rotate the movable doors 400.
[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When used by those skilled in the art, the goat transfer pen uses the main body 100 as the basic structure, and the bottom plate 110, uprights 120 and top plate 130 form a stable space for placing goats. The feed box 200 inserted into the groove 111 on the bottom plate 110 guides the feed to the discharge bin 211 through the bottom slope of the feed bin 210, providing convenience for the goats to eat. The cover plate 220 protects the feed storage environment. The side protection of the transfer pen relies on the side door panel 300 that can slide on the inner wall of the uprights 120. The sliding grooves 131 on both sides of the top plate 130 assist its smooth movement. The side door panel 300 springs inward through the circular groove 310. The spring 320, in conjunction with the limiting ball 330 and the hemispherical groove 140 at the top of the upright 120, allows the side door panel 300 to be opened from all sides when it moves upward, facilitating the entry and exit of sheep into and out of the main body 100. This enables position locking and flexible adjustment, ensuring both spatial variability and structural stability. Meanwhile, the movable door 400 is mounted on the outer wall of the upright 120 via a hinge and can rotate around it. Workers can open and close the movable door 400 using the second handle 420. After closing, it is locked using the door bolt 430 and the door bolt buckle, ensuring that the goats cannot escape during the transfer process. All components work together to meet the needs of placement, feeding, and protection during the transfer of goats.
