Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock and poultry breeding technology, specifically to a management device for livestock and poultry breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry is a production sector that utilizes the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, through artificial breeding and raising to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy, in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal materials. It is different from subsistence livestock farming. The main characteristics of animal husbandry are centralization, large scale, and profit-oriented production.

[0003] Existing management equipment is generally a rotating cattle rack. When milking or artificial insemination, cattle need to be driven into the rack to manage them and prevent them from running away. However, when leading cattle out of the traditional rotating cattle rack, the cattle need to back up to exit the rack. Cattle are naturally resistant to backward movements, which leads to low efficiency in loading and unloading cattle. In addition, it is difficult for cattle to turn in the confined space. Manual operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive and may cause stress reactions in cattle, further reducing management efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a management device for livestock and poultry breeding to solve the technical problem that cattle need to back out of the cattle rack, resulting in low efficiency in loading and unloading cattle.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a management device for livestock and poultry breeding, comprising a rotating ring, wherein a plurality of rotating disks are rotatably connected to the edge of the rotating ring, a plurality of semi-circular keyways are provided at the bottom of the rotating ring, guide columns are fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating disks, a rotating platform is provided at the center of the rotating ring, a connecting frame is provided between the rotating platform and the rotating ring, cattle loading platforms are provided on both sides of the rotating ring, a first cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cattle loading platform, a first push plate is fixedly connected to the movable end of the first cylinder, a second cylinder is provided on one side of the rotating platform, and a second push plate is fixedly connected to the movable end of the second cylinder.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, through the rotational connection between the rotating ring and the rotating disk, and the cooperation between the bottom guide post and the semi-circular keyway, the 180° automatic steering function of the rotating disk is realized. When the first cylinder pushes the first push plate, the guide post moves along the arc trajectory of the semi-circular keyway, forcing the rotating disk where the cow is located to rotate, so that the cow's head faces outward, solving the problem of the cow needing to reverse out, and significantly improving the efficiency of loading and unloading the cow.

[0007] Furthermore, support plates are fixedly connected around the circumference of the rotating ring, and multiple sets of support plates are provided.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple sets of support plates set around the rotating ring provide support for the rotating ring through sliding cooperation with the support groove of the upper cattle platform, preventing the rotating ring from shifting or shaking due to the heavy load of the cattle or rotational inertia, thus enhancing the stability of equipment operation.

[0009] Furthermore, a support groove is provided on the opposite side of the upper platform, and the support groove is adapted to the support plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the support grooves on the opposite side of the upper cattle platform are adapted to the support plate to form a sliding pair structure, so that the rotating ring always moves along a fixed trajectory when rotating, avoiding jamming or noise caused by friction between the rotating ring and the upper cattle platform, and ensuring smooth rotation.

[0011] Furthermore, guide rods are fixed to both sides of the top of the rotating disk, and the guide rods are arranged in a U-shape.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the U-shaped guide rods on both sides of the top of the rotating disk restrict the lateral movement of the cow's body through the surrounding structure, preventing the cow from shifting its body due to fright or struggle during the turning process, and reducing the operational risk.

[0013] Furthermore, an inclined surface is provided on one side of the upper platform, and a baffle is provided on one side of the rotating platform.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the slope on the side of the cattle platform is lowered, making it easier for cattle to walk onto the rotating platform naturally, reducing the resistance of manual driving, and the slope is gentle, avoiding the risk of cattle being afraid or slipping due to steep slopes.

[0015] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0016] 1. This utility model sets up a rotating ring, a rotating disk, a guide rod, a semi-circular keyway, a guide column, and a rotating platform. The arc-shaped trajectory of the guide column and the semi-circular keyway allows the cow to enter the rotating disk. The cylinder pushes the rotating disk to turn 180°, directly adjusting the cow's head to face the outside of the rotating ring. During the rotation, the guide rod restricts the cow's body from deviating, and the rotating platform and connecting frame ensure rotational stability. The cow can move forward naturally in the direction of rotation without reversing, completely solving the problem of low efficiency caused by the difficulty of cows moving backward in traditional cow racks, and realizing a smooth and automated turning and leaving process.

[0017] 2. This utility model, by setting up a baffle to prevent the cow from walking out, directly blocks the cow's path to the external area when the rotating disk rotates with the ring to the position of the second cylinder for the reset operation. Through physical isolation, the movement range of the cow is effectively limited, preventing the cow from accidentally entering the unsafe area during equipment operation, ensuring that the cow is always within the controllable rotating disk, and simultaneously improving operational safety and process continuity.

[0018] 3. By setting a support plate and a support groove, the support plate is embedded in the support groove of the upper platform when the ring rotates. Several rollers are set inside the support groove to form a sliding pair. The cooperation of the two disperses the force when the ring rotates, ensuring that the ring rotates smoothly and operates stably for a long time. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] A management device for livestock and poultry farming, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the system includes a rotating ring 1, with several rotating disks 2 rotatably connected to the edge of the rotating ring 1. Several semi-circular keyways 4 are provided at the bottom of the rotating ring 1. Guide posts 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating disks 2. A rotating platform 6 is provided at the center of the rotating ring 1. A connecting frame 7 is provided between the rotating platform 6 and the rotating ring 1. Cattle loading platforms 8 are provided on both sides of the rotating ring 1. A first cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cattle loading platform 8. A first push plate 10 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the first cylinder 9. A second cylinder 11 is provided on one side of the rotating platform 6. A second push plate 12 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the second cylinder 11. The rotating platform 6 and the rotating ring 1 are fixed by the connecting frame 7 to ensure the overall stability of the rotating disks 2 when rotating. The cattle loading platform 8 where the first cylinder 9 is located provides a passage for cattle to enter and exit. The second cattle loading platform 8 on the other side can also provide additional cattle loading space to improve cattle loading efficiency. The second cylinder 11 is fixed to the ground and cooperates with the second push plate 12 to push the guide posts 5 in the opposite direction to complete the reset of the rotating disks 2, forming an automated cyclic operation process.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 Support plates 13 are fixedly connected around the swivel ring 1. Multiple sets of support plates 13 are provided and are evenly distributed around the swivel ring to ensure reliable support at all times and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 A support groove 14 is provided on the opposite side of the upper cattle platform 8. The support groove 14 is adapted to the support plate 13. The support groove 14 limits and supports the support plate 13, further reducing the radial runout of the rotating ring, improving the load-bearing capacity of the equipment for large cattle, such as adult dairy cows, and adapting to the needs of more breeding scenarios.

[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The top of the rotating disk 2 is fixed with guide rods 3 on both sides. The guide rods 3 are U-shaped and can be used as an auxiliary tool to help the cattle leave. The cattle are guided to move outward along the guide line formed between the guide rods 3 to ensure that the exit action is completed smoothly.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 An inclined surface 15 is provided on one side of the cattle platform 8, and a baffle 16 is provided on one side of the rotating platform 6. The baffle 16 on one side of the rotating platform 6 prevents cattle from accidentally entering the central area of ​​the equipment when the rotating disk is reset, thus preventing cattle from falling out of the rotating ring and ensuring the safety of equipment operation and cattle.

[0030] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the cow enters the rotating disk 2 from the inclined surface 15 of the upper cow platform 8 and is restricted inside the disk by the guide rod 3. At this time, the rotating disk is in the same direction as the rotating ring 1, and the cow's head faces inward towards the center of the rotating ring.

[0031] When a cow needs to be moved, when the rotating disk 2 is rotated to the position opposite to the first cylinder 9, the first cylinder 9 is activated, pushing the first push plate 10 forward, which acts on the guide post 5 at the bottom of the rotating disk. The guide post moves along the arc trajectory of the semi-circular keyway 4, forcing the rotating disk to rotate 180° around the edge of the rotating ring, so that the cow's head faces the outside of the rotating ring. At this time, the rotating disk 2 still maintains a slow rotation, and the cow does not need to move backward. It can move forward directly along the direction adjusted by the rotating disk and leave the equipment, solving the traditional problem of reversing.

[0032] The first cylinder 9 retracts quickly, and the first push plate 10 returns to its position, ready for the next push. When the rotating disk 2 rotates with the rotating ring 1 to the position of the second cylinder 11, the second cylinder 11 starts and pushes the second push plate 12 to push the guide column in the opposite direction, so that it moves in the opposite direction along the semi-circular keyway 4. The rotating disk rotates 180° to reset. The baffle 16 prevents the cow from accidentally entering the rotating table area during the reset process, ensuring process safety.

[0033] The rotating ring is powered by external forces, such as the continuous rotation of an electric motor. Multiple rotating disks pass through the positions of the first and second cylinders in sequence, achieving continuous turning and resetting. The support plate 13 and the support groove 14 work together to enhance structural stability and improve the load-bearing capacity of the equipment.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
