Description

A type of cow neck yoke Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural breeding technology, specifically relating to a cattle neck yoke. Background Technology

[0002] In modern livestock farming, the scale of cattle breeding is constantly expanding, and scientific and efficient breeding management methods have become key to improving breeding efficiency and quality. Cattle neck yokes, as an indispensable piece of equipment in the breeding process, are mainly used to restrain cattle, facilitating daily operations such as feeding, milking, disease prevention, and breeding. They restrict the cattle's movement, ensuring the safety and accuracy of operations and preventing operational errors or injuries caused by the cattle's movement. However, commonly available cattle neck yokes on the market currently have the following problems in practical applications:

[0003] First, existing cattle neck yokes generally suffer from poor adaptability to cattle of different sizes. Cattle exhibit significant size variations during growth and development, with substantial changes in size from calves to adults. Traditional neck yokes are mostly fixed or have limited adjustment ranges, failing to meet the needs of cattle at different growth stages and of different breeds. For example, when restraining smaller calves, the yoke may be too loose, allowing the cattle to easily escape and hindering the process; while for larger adult cattle, the yoke may be too narrow, causing restraint and injury, impacting the cattle's health and welfare. This poor adaptability necessitates frequent replacement of different yoke sizes during the breeding process, increasing breeding costs and management complexity.

[0004] Secondly, the adjustment of existing cattle neck yokes is complex and cumbersome. Some adjustable neck yokes require numerous tools, such as wrenches and screwdrivers, for disassembling and installing multiple components, involving many steps and a considerable time commitment. This not only increases the workload of livestock farmers but also reduces the efficiency of livestock farming. In actual farming, farmers need to manage a large number of cattle daily, and the cumbersome adjustment process severely impacts work progress, preventing the timely completion of routine management tasks and consequently affecting the cattle's growth, development, and health.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model in any way.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] As shown in Figures 1-4: A bull neck yoke includes a limiting bend 1, with crossbeams 2 connected to both ends of the limiting bend 1. One end of the limiting bend 1 is connected to a connecting frame 3, and the other end of the connecting frame 3 is rotatably connected to a swing rod 4 via a pin. A counterweight frame 7 is connected to the lower side of the swing rod 4, and a locking frame 5 is connected to the top of the swing rod 4. A limiting rod 6 is provided on the locking frame 5. The crossbeam 2 slides between the locking frame 5 and the limiting rod 6. A support frame 11 is installed on the top of the crossbeam 2. The support frame 11 has a groove for mounting a rotating rod 12 that moves up and down. A hook 13 is fixed on the rotating rod 12. The crossbeam 2 has multiple adjustment holes 10 and adjustable vertical rods 8 are slidably fitted onto them. Quick-release clips are inserted into the adjustment holes 10. The locking rod 9 is adapted to be inserted into the upper and lower ends of the adjustable vertical rod 8. The locking rod 9 includes an outer tube 91, in which a rod structure consisting of a push rod 96, a tapered rod 97, and a support rod 98 is slidably inserted. A spring 94 is installed between the support rod 98 and the inner end face of the outer tube 91. A through groove for movably installing a locking steel ball 95 is opened on the side of the outer tube 91. A locking plate 92 is formed on the outer side of the outer tube 91. The locking steel ball 95 and the locking plate 92 are adapted to be clamped on the inner wall of the crossbeam 2 and the outer side of the adjustable vertical rod 8. The position of the adjustable vertical rod 8 on the crossbeam 2 can be slidably adjusted, and the locking rod 9 is inserted to lock the adjustable vertical rod 8, thereby fixing cattle of different sizes.The quick-locking rod 9 enables rapid insertion and locking, facilitating the position adjustment of the adjustable vertical rod 8. The adjustable vertical rod 8 includes a vertical rod 81, with sliding sleeves 82 connected to both its upper and lower ends. The sliding sleeves 82 are slidably fitted onto the outside of the crossbeam 2. The adjustable vertical rod 8, supported and limited by the sliding sleeves 82, can stably move and adjust its position on the crossbeam 2. The number of adjustment holes 10 is multiple sets, each set consisting of multiple through holes equidistantly spaced along the extension direction of the crossbeam 2 and positioned between adjacent adjustable vertical rods 8 and limiting bends 1. The sliding sleeves 82 have positioning holes 83 corresponding to the through holes forming the adjustment holes 10. After sliding and adjusting the position of the adjustable vertical rod 8, the quick-locking rod 9 can be inserted into the through hole of the adjustment hole 10 corresponding to the positioning hole 83, thus locking the position of the adjustable vertical rod 8. The outer tube 91 has a chamfered structure at one end facing away from the locking plate 92. The chamfered structure design allows for… To facilitate insertion of the outer tube 91 into the adjustable vertical rod 8 and the adjusting hole 10, the diameter of the through groove on the outer tube 91 for installing the locking steel ball 95 gradually narrows at both ends and is no larger than the diameter of the locking steel ball 95. The locking steel ball 95 can be pushed in the through groove by the tapered rod 97 to cooperate with the locking plate 92 to achieve the locking operation, and can be prevented from falling out of the through groove when not supported by the support rod 98. The open end of the outer tube 91 is formed with a baffle 93, which allows the operator to... When removing the quick-locking rod 9, hook two fingers around the baffle 93 and press the push rod 96 with your thumb to smoothly remove the quick-locking rod 9. The end of the tapered rod 97 that connects to the push rod 96 is the upper end face. The side of the support rod 98 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer tube 91 and rollably connected to the locking ball 95. Under the elastic support of the spring 94, the support rod 98 provides rigid support for the locking ball 95, ensuring that the locking ball 95 and the locking plate 92 are stably locked onto the crossbeam 2 and the adjustable vertical rod 8.

[0035] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows: When using the cattle neck yoke of this utility model, firstly, according to the body shape of the cattle to be fixed, since the sliding sleeves 82 at both ends of the adjustable vertical rod 81 are slidably fitted on the outside of the crossbeam 2, the adjustable vertical rod 8 can be easily slid along the extension direction of the crossbeam 2. After adjusting the position of the adjustable vertical rod 8, observe the position of the positioning hole 83 and the through hole in the adjustment hole 10, and insert the quick-locking rod 9 into the through hole of the adjustment hole 10 that is opposite to the position of the positioning hole 83.

[0036] The outer tube 91 of the quick-locking rod 9 has a chamfered structure at the end facing away from the locking plate 92. This chamfered structure facilitates the insertion of the outer tube 91 into the adjustable vertical rod 8 and the adjusting hole 10. During insertion, the rod structure composed of the push rod 96, the tapered rod 97, and the support rod 98 in the outer tube 91, under the action of the spring 94, supports the locking steel ball 95. This allows the locking steel ball 95 and the locking plate 92 to be fitted and clamped onto the inner wall of the crossbeam 2 and the outer side of the adjustable vertical rod 8, thereby locking the adjustable vertical rod 8. This allows the device to be used to fix cattle of different sizes.

[0037] When it is necessary to fix the cattle, the cattle enter the space between the limiting bend 1 and the adjustable vertical rod 8. At this time, the swing rod 4 is rotatably connected to the limiting bend 1 through the connecting frame 3. Under the action of the counterweight frame 7, the swing rod 4 is in a suitable position. When the cattle eat, their necks press down on the swing rod 4 to make the swing rod 4 rotate. The hook 13 fixed on the rotating rod 12 then hooks the swing rod 4 to ensure that the cattle will not move at will during feeding, milking, disease prevention and other operations.
