Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of sheep farming, and in particular to a light-regulating skylight for sheep sheds. Background Technology
[0002] During the sheep-raising process in the shed, light needs to enter the shed through the skylights on the top and sides. Appropriate lighting can reduce the humidity in the shed, inhibit the growth of harmful organisms such as bacteria and parasites, reduce the chance of disease, and create a healthy breeding environment for the sheep.
[0003] Publication number CN220889214U discloses a light-adjusting skylight for a sheep breeding shed, including a skylight fixing frame. The skylight fixing frame has a second light-leaking cavity on both sides inside, and a first light-leaking cavity on both sides in the middle inside. A first fixing frame is provided on one side of the lower end of the connecting strip, and a third output motor is provided at the front end of the first fixing frame. The upper end of the third output motor is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the connecting strip by bolts.
[0004] During use, the device reflects light into the shed through a reflector, effectively regulating the lighting inside. However, in summer when temperatures are high, the reflector brings a large amount of heat into the shed, causing a significant rise in temperature and negatively impacting the sheep's growth environment. Although the reflector can be retracted to prevent excessive heat from entering, the device can no longer regulate the light, and strong external sunlight will directly enter the shed without obstruction, still resulting in a persistently high temperature. This severely interferes with the sheep's normal breeding activities and is detrimental to their healthy growth and productivity. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the issue of increased temperature due to light, this application provides a light-regulating skylight for sheep sheds.
[0006] The technical solution for a light-regulating skylight in a sheep pen provided in this application is as follows:
[0007] A light-adjusting skylight for sheep sheds includes a mounting frame, a top skylight mounted on the surface of the mounting frame, a limiting plate fixed to the surface of the mounting frame, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the light intensity on the surface of the mounting frame.
[0008] The adjustment mechanism includes a first light-shielding plate and a second light-shielding plate disposed on one side of the mounting frame surface and rotatably disposed on the surface of the limiting plate. The surfaces of the first light-shielding plate and the second light-shielding plate are each fixed with a miniature refraction mirror for refracting light. The surfaces of the first light-shielding plate and the second light-shielding plate are each provided with a telescopic mechanism for adjusting the light-shielding degree of the first light-shielding plate and the second light-shielding plate.
[0009] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism further includes a drive box fixed to one side of the mounting frame surface. A motor is fixed inside the drive box, and a first gear is fixed at the output end of the motor. A first transmission shaft is fixed at the end of the first gear away from the motor. The first transmission shaft passes through the inner surface of the drive box and is fixed to the first light shield. A second gear that meshes with the first gear is rotatably arranged on the inner surface of the drive box. A second transmission shaft that passes through the inner surface of the drive box is fixed at the end of the second gear near the second light shield. The end of the second transmission shaft away from the second gear is fixed to the surface of the second light shield.
[0010] Preferably, when the first gear and the second gear rotate, they rotate the first light-shielding plate and the second light-shielding plate to a state parallel to the top skylight.
[0011] Preferably, both the first and second light-shielding plates are made of black PVC material.
[0012] Preferably, the telescopic mechanism includes a mounting box fixed to the surface of the second light-shielding plate, an electric push rod fixed to the inner surface of the mounting box, the telescopic end of the electric push rod movably passing through the side wall of the mounting box and fixed to a drive plate, a sunshade net fixed to the end of the drive plate away from the electric push rod, and a positioning plate fixed to the surface of the second light-shielding plate fixed to the end of the sunshade net away from the drive plate.
[0013] Preferably, the shade net is in a retracted state when the light is not strong.
[0014] Preferably, limiting seats are fixed on both sides of the second light-shielding plate, the limiting seats have an open space inside, the inner surface of the open space is fixed with a limiting post, and the driving plate has limiting cylinders that are slidably disposed on the surface of the limiting post on both sides.
[0015] Preferably, the micro-refractor is a conical refractor.
[0016] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0017] 1. By using the first and second drive shafts to control the shading angles of the first and second shading plates, the amount of light entering the sheep shed can be flexibly controlled to meet the different light intensity requirements of sheep at different growth stages. At the same time, the opening and closing of the shade net is controlled by the drive plate, so that the shading degree of the first and second shading plates can be flexibly adjusted according to different seasons and weather conditions, effectively preventing direct sunlight from hitting the sheep. Through the combined design of the first shading plate, the second shading plate, and the shade net, a double-layer heat insulation barrier is provided for the sheep shed, which can more effectively reduce the temperature inside the sheep shed, prevent heatstroke and decreased feed intake in sheep due to high temperatures, create a cool and comfortable environment for sheep, and ensure the normal breeding of sheep.
[0018] 2. By setting up miniature refractors on the side of the first and second light-shielding plates facing the inside of the breeding shed, the light is diffused by the miniature refractors when it passes through the first and second light-shielding plates, which makes the light distribution in the breeding shed more uniform and avoids the situation of excessively strong or dark light in some areas of the breeding shed, which is beneficial to the activity and growth of sheep.

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-9 This application will be described in further detail.
[0034] This application discloses a light-adjusting skylight for sheep breeding sheds.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 A light-regulating skylight for sheep sheds includes an installation frame 1. The surface of the installation frame 1 has an installation groove, and a top skylight 2 is installed on the inner surface of the installation groove. A fixing frame 3 is fixed to the surface of the installation frame 1. The surface of the fixing frame 3 has a fixing groove, and the top skylight 2 is installed on the inner surface of the fixing groove. The top skylight 2 and the side skylight 4 are installed using a snap-fit method. During installation, snap-fit blocks are set on the top skylight 2 and the side skylight 4 respectively, and corresponding slots are formed on the inner surfaces of the installation groove and fixing groove to match the snap-fit blocks. The snap-fit blocks on the top skylight 2 and the side skylight 4 are aligned with the slots on the installation frame 1 and the fixing frame 3, and then pushed in forcefully or secured into the slots using a mechanical device, thus connecting the installation frame 1 to the top skylight 2 and the fixing frame 3 to the side skylight 4. A limiting plate 8 is fixed to the surface of the installation frame 1.
[0036] Reference Figures 1-9The surface of the mounting frame 1 is provided with an adjustment mechanism 5 for adjusting the light brightness. The adjustment mechanism 5 includes a drive box 51 fixed to one side of the surface of the mounting frame 1. A motor 52 is fixed inside the drive box 51. The motor 52 is a Y-series motor from Shanghai Suxiang Motor Co., Ltd. A first gear 53 is fixed at the output end of the motor 52. A first drive shaft 54 is fixed at the end of the first gear 53 away from the motor 52. The first drive shaft 54 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the drive box 51. A first light-shielding plate 55 is fixedly connected to the end of the first drive shaft 54 away from the first gear 53. A second gear 56 is rotatably arranged on the inner surface of the drive box 51. The first gear 53 and the second gear 56 are connected to each other. The gear 56 engages in a meshing transmission. A second drive shaft 57 is fixed to one end of the second gear 56 near the second light-shielding plate 58. The second drive shaft 57 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the drive housing 51. The second light-shielding plate 58 is fixed to the end of the second drive shaft 57 away from the second gear 56. An integrated coupling is fixedly connected to the ends of the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58 away from the drive housing 51. This integrated coupling is rotatably connected to the surface of the limiting plate 8. When the first gear 53 and the second gear 56 rotate, they rotate the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58 until they are parallel to the top skylight 2. Both the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58 are made of black PVC. The rotation of the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58 is controlled by the first drive shaft 54 and the second drive shaft 57, thereby controlling the angle at which the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58 block light.
[0037] Reference Figures 3-9As shown, both the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58 are provided with telescopic mechanisms 7 for adjusting the light-shielding degree of the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58. The telescopic mechanism 7 includes a mounting box 71 fixed to the surface of the second light-shielding plate 58. An electric push rod 72 is fixed to the inner surface of the mounting box 71. The electric push rod 72 adopts the HTA250 series of Wenzhou Geming Transmission Equipment Co., Ltd. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 72 is slidably connected to the side wall of the mounting box 71. A drive plate 73 is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 72. A sunshade net 74 is fixed to the end of the drive plate 73 away from the electric push rod 72. A positioning plate 75 is fixed to the end of the sunshade net 74 away from the drive plate 73. The positioning plate 75 is fixed to the surface of the second light-shielding plate 58. The sunshade net 74 is in a retracted state when the light is not strong. When the electric actuator 72 is in the extended state, the shade net 74 is fixed to the drive plate 73 and the positioning plate 75 by rope fixing. The process includes first drilling holes on the surface of the drive plate 73 and the positioning plate 75, and at both ends of the shade net 74 using a hole punch. The number of holes depends on the length of the shade net 74, such as 5-10 holes. After drilling the holes, the rope is passed through the holes on the shade net 74 to the holes on the drive plate 73, and then the rope is tied tightly to complete the fixing of the drive plate 73 and the shade net 74. Similarly, the rope is passed through the holes on the shade net 74 to the holes on the positioning plate 75, and then the rope is tied tightly to complete the fixing of the shade net 74 and the positioning plate 75. The opening and closing of the shade net 74 is controlled by the drive plate 73, thereby adjusting the light intensity entering the breeding shed according to the light in different seasons.
[0038] Reference Figures 3-7 As shown, limiting seats 76 are fixed on both sides of the second light-shielding plate 58. An active space 761 is opened inside the limiting seat 76. A limiting post 78 is fixed on the inner surface of the active space 761. Limiting cylinders 77 are fixed on both sides of the drive plate 73. A sliding groove is opened on the surface of the limiting cylinder 77. The limiting cylinder 77 is slidably set on the surface of the limiting post 78 through the sliding groove. Through the combination design of the limiting cylinder 77 and the limiting post 78, the sunshade net 74 is controlled during the opening process to prevent the sunshade net 74 from curling up.
[0039] Reference Figures 1-9As shown, miniature refractories 6 for refracting light are fixedly mounted on the surfaces of the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58. They are arranged in a neat manner. The miniature refractories 6 are conical refractories. The miniature refractories 6 can be fixed by threaded connection to the surfaces of the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58. The surfaces of the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58 are provided with connecting grooves. The inner surface of the connecting grooves is provided with internal threads. The end of the miniature refractories 6 near the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58 is fixedly connected to a connecting post. The outer surface of the connecting post is provided with external threads. The internal threads and external threads mesh. By setting the miniature refractories 6 on the surfaces of the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58, the light passing through the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58 can be diffused, making the light distribution in the breeding shed more uniform.
[0040] It should be noted that: the breeder needs to install the remote control receiver on the surface of the mounting frame 1, and the power supply of the remote control receiver should be turned on. Controller 1 should be installed on the surface of the drive box 51. Controller 1 should be connected to the remote control receiver and the motor 52 by wires. Controller 2 should be installed on the surface of the mounting box 71. Controller 2 should be connected to the remote control receiver and the electric push rod 72 by wires, thus completing the connection between the remote control receiver and the motor 52 and the electric push rod 72.
[0041] It should be added that when the user presses the power button on the remote transmitter, the transmitter sends out a radio frequency signal containing the power command. After receiving the radio frequency signal, the remote receiver decodes it, converts the signal into a corresponding electrical signal, and transmits the signal to controller one and controller two. After receiving the power signal, controller one and controller two control the power supply to motor 52 and electric push rod 72 through internal circuit control, so that motor 52 starts to rotate and electric push rod 72 starts to extend and retract, thereby realizing the rotation of the first light shield 55 and the second light shield 58 and the opening and closing of the sunshade net 74. When the user presses the power off button on the remote transmitter, the above process is reversed, and the controller cuts off the power supply to motor 52 and electric push rod 72, causing them to stop working.
[0042] The implementation principle of the light-adjusting skylight for sheep sheds in this embodiment is as follows: When using this skylight, especially in summer, the farmer first presses the button on the motor 52 of the remote control transmitter to start the motor 52, thus making the motor 52 begin to work. Figure 3As shown, the output end of motor 52 drives the first gear 53 to rotate counterclockwise, the first gear 53 drives the first transmission shaft 54 to rotate counterclockwise, the first transmission shaft 54 drives the first light-shielding plate 55 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the first light-shielding plate 55 gradually changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state. At the same time, the first gear 53 drives the second gear 56 to rotate clockwise, the second gear 56 drives the second transmission shaft 57 to rotate clockwise, the second transmission shaft 57 drives the second light-shielding plate 58 to rotate clockwise, so that the second light-shielding plate 58 gradually changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state. Thus, the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58 are rotated to a state parallel to the top skylight 2, so that the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58 block the light passing through the top skylight 2, thereby reducing the intensity of light shining into the breeding shed. When the first light-shielding plate 55 and the second light-shielding plate 58 are rotated to a state parallel to the top skylight 2, motor 52 is turned off.
[0043] When the summer light intensity remains high even after being blocked by the first light-blocking plate 55 and the second light-blocking plate 58, the farmer presses the button on the electric actuator 72 on the remote control transmitter to start the electric actuator 72. The telescopic end of the electric actuator 72 begins to retract, which drives the drive plate 73 to move closer to the mounting box 71. The drive plate 73 then moves the shade net 74 away from the positioning plate 75, thereby opening the shade net 74 on the surfaces of the first light-blocking plate 55 and the second light-blocking plate 58, thus improving the blocking effect of the first light-blocking plate 55 and the second light-blocking plate 58.
[0044] When the shade net 74 is fully opened on the surfaces of the first shade plate 55 and the second shade plate 58, light shines on the shade net 74 through the top skylight 2. The light passes through the surfaces of the shade net 74, the first shade plate 55 and the second shade plate 58 in sequence, and is dispersed by the micro-refractive mirrors 6 located on the surfaces of the first shade plate 55 and the second shade plate 58 away from the shade net 74, so that the light can be evenly irradiated inside the breeding shed.
[0045] When light passes through the conical surface of the miniature refractor 6, it is deflected according to Snell's law (the law of refraction). The inclined surface of the cone causes the light to converge or diverge in a specific direction. The specific effect depends on the cone angle and the refractive index of the material. Unlike the spherical or aspherical design of traditional lenses, the conical structure can produce an axisymmetric but non-uniform optical effect.
[0046] When the breeding shed is used in winter, the status of the first shading plate 55, the second shading plate 58, and the shade net 74 is as follows: Figures 1-7 As shown, light passes directly through the surface of the top skylight 2 without any obstruction and shines into the interior of the breeding shed, thus adapting to the light intensity in different seasons by adjusting the process of shading the light.
[0047] The above are merely optional embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Various modifications and variations can be made to this disclosure by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
