[0022] This utility model embodiment provides a breeding cattle nursery box, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the breeding cattle nursery includes: a heat preservation box 1 for feeding newborn breeding cattle; a constant temperature box 2, which is fixedly installed on one side of the heat preservation box 1 and is used to temporarily place newborn breeding cattle during cleaning; two heating plates 3, which are respectively fixedly installed in the heat preservation box 1 and the constant temperature box 2; a partition 4, which is fixedly installed in the heat preservation box 1 and positioned above the heating plates 3 inside the heat preservation box 1; a connection port 5, which is located on the side of the heat preservation box 1 and communicates with the constant temperature box 2; a partition door 6, which is slidably installed on the constant temperature box 2 and slidably contacts one side of the heat preservation box 1 to close the connection port 5; a sliding groove 7, which is located on the heat preservation box 1; multiple teeth 8, which are all fixedly installed on the partition door 6 and slidably disposed in the sliding groove 7; and a lifting mechanism, which is disposed on the heat preservation box 1 and is used to drive the partition door 6 to rise and fall.

[0023] In this embodiment, the incubator 1 is used for feeding newborn calves. Since newborn calves have underdeveloped thermoregulation, the incubator 1 provides a necessary warm environment to ensure they are not damaged or killed by the cold. The constant temperature box 2 is mainly used to temporarily house newborn calves while cleaning the incubator 1. This allows for necessary cleaning and sterilization of the incubator without interrupting the calves' warmth. The heating plate 3 maintains a suitable temperature inside the box, ensuring the calves grow in a comfortable environment. The partition 4 separates the heating plate 3 from the bottom of the incubator 1, while also facilitating cleaning and improving cleaning efficiency. The connection port 5 allows calves to be transferred from the incubator 1 to the constant temperature box 2 when needed, without exposure to the cold external environment. The design of the partition door 6 allows for convenient control of calves' entry and exit while maintaining temperature. The slide 7 guides the sliding movement of the partition door 6. The teeth 8 facilitate the lifting mechanism to raise and lower the partition door 6, providing a connection point for the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism allows users to easily open or close the connection port 5 without directly touching the partition door 6, thus safely transferring calves from the heat-insulating box to the temperature-controlled box, or temporarily placing them in the temperature-controlled box for cleaning. This improves the survival rate and growth performance of calves by providing a stable and suitable warm environment. It also reduces the risk of calves getting sick or dying during transfer, making calf transfer simpler and safer through the design of the safe lifting mechanism and partition door 6.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lifting mechanism includes a movable opening 9, a fixed cover 10, a drive gear 11, and a drive motor 12. The movable opening 9 is opened on the insulation box 1 and communicates with the slide groove 7. The fixed cover 10 is fixedly installed inside the insulation box 1. The drive gear 11 is rotatably installed inside the fixed cover 10 and meshes with the teeth 8. The drive motor 12 is fixedly installed on the insulation box 1, and the output shaft of the drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the drive gear 11.

[0025] In this embodiment, the movable opening 9 provides an interactive space for the drive gear 11 and teeth 8 in the lifting mechanism, allowing the drive gear 11 to smoothly drive the teeth 8 and the partition door 6 to move up and down. The fixed cover 10 provides a stable installation environment for the drive gear 11, preventing it from being disturbed or damaged during rotation, and also preventing the breeding cattle from coming into contact with the gear and getting injured. The drive gear 11 drives the teeth 8 and the partition door 6 to move up and down by rotating. Its precise meshing design ensures that the partition door 6 can move up and down smoothly and accurately. The drive motor 12 provides a power source for the lifting mechanism. By controlling the rotation direction and speed of the motor, the up and down movement of the partition door 6 can be precisely controlled. By introducing the drive motor 12 and the drive gear 11, the automatic lifting and lowering of the partition door 6 is realized, greatly simplifying the operation process and improving work efficiency. The drive motor 12 can precisely control the lifting speed and position of the partition door 6, ensuring the safety and comfort of the calves during the transfer process. The fixed cover 10 provides a stable installation environment for the drive gear 11, reducing the impact of external interference on the lifting mechanism and improving the reliability and durability of the entire nursery.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting rod 25 is fixedly installed inside the insulated box 1, and the limiting rod 25 slides in contact with the partition door 6 to guide the limiting rod 25.

[0027] In this embodiment, the limiting rod 25 serves as a guide and limiting device during the lifting and lowering process of the partition door 6. It ensures that the partition door 6 moves smoothly along a predetermined trajectory during lifting and lowering, and does not exceed the predetermined range, thus preventing malfunctions or damage caused by deviation or shaking. By limiting the movement range of the partition door 6, the limiting rod 25 effectively prevents the partition door 6 from exceeding the predetermined position during lifting and lowering, thereby protecting the structural integrity of the partition door 6 and the incubator 1, and avoiding damage or safety accidents caused by excessive movement. The introduction of the limiting rod 25 further enhances the stability of the lifting mechanism, making the partition door 6 more reliable and durable during lifting and lowering, and improving the service life and safety of the entire incubator.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the insulated box 1 is provided with two ventilation mechanisms for ventilation inside the insulated box 1. The ventilation mechanism includes a vent 13, a fan 14, a protective cover 15, multiple air inlets 16, and multiple filters 17. The vent 13 is opened on the top of the insulated box 1, the fan 14 is fixedly installed on the vent 13, the protective cover 15 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the insulated box 1 and covers the vent 13 and the fan 14, the multiple air inlets 16 are opened on the protective cover 15, and the multiple filters 17 are respectively fixedly installed on the multiple air inlets 16.

[0029] In this embodiment, a ventilation mechanism is used for ventilation inside the incubator 1 to maintain fresh air and suitable temperature and humidity conditions. The vent 13 serves as the mounting location for the fan 14, allowing air to enter and exit the incubator 1 under the action of the fan.

The protective cover 15 protects the fan 14 from direct impact from external objects and prevents calves from contacting the fan 14 and causing injury. The air inlet 16 allows external air to enter the incubator 1 through the protective cover 15, working in conjunction with the fan 14 to achieve ventilation. The filter 17 filters out dust, bacteria, and other impurities from the air entering the incubator 1, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene inside the incubator. The design of the protective cover 15 effectively protects the fan 14 and the calves, avoiding injury caused by fan rotation or calves contacting them. The introduction of the filter 17 further improves the cleanliness of the air entering the incubator 1, reducing the risk of calves becoming ill from inhaling dust, bacteria, and other impurities.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of support legs 18 are fixedly installed at the bottom of both the insulation box 1 and the constant temperature box 2 for supporting the stability of the insulation box 1 and the constant temperature box 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, the design of the support leg 18 allows the incubator 1 and the constant temperature box 2 to be placed stably on the ground, avoiding shaking or tipping caused by uneven ground or external forces, thus ensuring the safety and comfort of the calves. The support leg 18 also effectively prevents the bottom of the incubator 1 and the constant temperature box 2 from directly contacting the ground, avoiding damage to the boxes caused by damp, corrosive ground or sharp objects, and extending the service life of the incubator 1 and the constant temperature box 2.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a sealing door 19 is hinged to the heat preservation box 1, an installation cover 20 is fixedly installed on the top of the heat preservation box 1, a slot 21 is provided on the sealing door 19, a telescopic rod 22 is fixedly installed inside the installation cover 20, a connecting rod 23 is fixedly installed on the telescopic rod 22, and a locking block 24 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod 23. The locking block 24 is slidably embedded in the slot 21.

[0033] In this embodiment, the sealing door 19 is connected to the insulation box 1 via a hinge or other hinged device, allowing the sealing door 19 to be opened and closed at the opening of the insulation box 1. The mounting cover 20 provides an installation position for the telescopic rod 22. The slot 21 serves as the insertion position for the locking block 24, enabling the locking and unlocking functions of the sealing door 19. The telescopic rod 22 drives the connecting rod 23 and the locking block 24 to move through its telescopic movement, thereby achieving the locking and unlocking of the sealing door 19. The connecting rod 23 serves as a support and transmission device for the locking block 24. The locking block 24 slides into the slot 21 to achieve the locking function of the sealing door 19. When the telescopic rod 22 extends or retracts, the locking block 24 moves accordingly. When the locking block 24 is fully inserted into the slot 21, the sealing door 19 is locked; when the telescopic rod 22 extends or retracts in the opposite direction, the locking block 24 slides out of the slot 21, and the sealing door 19 is unlocked. The telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 22 allows for easy locking and unlocking of the sealing door 19 without the need for additional locks or tools, thus improving operational convenience. The design of the locking block 24 and the locking slot 21 makes the sealing door 19 more secure in the locked state, preventing accidental opening due to external forces and ensuring the safety of the calves inside the incubator 1.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the incubator 1 is provided with an observation window 26 for observing the condition of the newborn breeding cattle inside the incubator 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the observation window 26 allows staff to directly observe the condition of the newborn cattle inside the incubator 1, such as their activity level and health status, without opening the incubator 1. The design of the observation window 26 enables staff to conveniently observe the newborn cattle inside the incubator 1 at any time, without frequently opening the incubator 1, reducing heat loss and external interference caused by opening the door, which is beneficial to the growth and development of the newborn cattle. Observation through the observation window 26 avoids direct contact between staff and the newborn cattle, reducing the risk of injury or infection due to improper human operation and improving the safety of the newborn cattle. The observation window 26 allows staff to promptly detect problems in the newborn cattle, such as abnormal conditions and disease symptoms, and thus take timely measures to address them, improving the management efficiency of the newborn cattle inside the incubator 1.

[0036] In summary, compared with related technologies, this device significantly improves the survival rate and growth performance of newborn calves. The dual-compartment design of the insulated box and the constant-temperature box ensures that newborn calves receive continuous warmth in the constant-temperature box while the insulated box is being cleaned, preventing health problems caused by cold. The lifting mechanism and partition door design make calf transfer easier and safer, reducing the risk of illness or death during transfer. Simultaneously, the introduction of the observation window allows staff to monitor the condition of newborn calves at any time, promptly identify problems, and take measures, improving management efficiency. Furthermore, the ventilation mechanism and filter design ensure clean and hygienic air within the insulated box, reducing the risk of calves becoming ill from inhaling impurities. The support legs and sealing door design further enhance the stability and safety of the nursery. In conclusion, this device, through a series of innovative designs, provides a more suitable, safe, and healthy growth environment for newborn calves, improving economic benefits and breeding efficiency.
