Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular relates to a self-locking cow neck clamp. Background Technology
[0002] A self-locking cow neck clamp is a device used for cattle feeding and management, mainly in cattle sheds and farms. It is used to fix the head of cattle, thereby preventing unnecessary fighting, injury or escape when cattle are eating or doing other activities.
[0003] According to the published patent CN210017408U, a cattle neck clamp includes a neck clamp body mounted on a frame. The neck clamp body includes several clamping parts, which are hinged to the frame. A control mechanism for opening and closing the clamping parts is also provided on the frame, located above the neck clamp body. A fixing mechanism, which cooperates with the clamping parts, is also provided on the frame, located below the neck clamp body. In this application, the clamping parts open and close to clamp the cattle neck. The clamping parts are hinged to the frame, and the control mechanism controls the opening and closing of the clamping parts. The fixing mechanism supports the cattle's head and fixes the clamping parts. However, it still has the following shortcomings:
[0004] The device lacks a self-locking function, requiring manual adjustment by staff each time, which increases labor intensity and reduces work efficiency. This is especially true in large-scale farms with a large number of cattle, where frequent manual adjustments consume a lot of time and energy. Therefore, we propose a self-locking cattle neck clamp. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-locking cow neck clamp. When the cow lowers its head, its neck will squeeze the limiting posts, thereby squeezing the lower half of the two limiting posts and causing the two limiting posts to rotate around the rotating axis. This solves the problem of excessive workload when manually adjusting the cow neck clamp.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model is a self-locking cattle neck clip, including a bracket, a feed trough fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket, a self-locking mechanism on the bracket, and a splicing mechanism on the bracket;
[0008] The self-locking mechanism includes a fixing block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block, a limiting post rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a first sliding groove opened in the inner wall of the bracket, a second sliding groove opened inside the limiting post, a sliding shaft slidably connected to the inner wall of the second sliding groove, a limiting frame fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bracket, a telescopic rod fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket, a pressing block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the telescopic rod, a spring fixedly connected to the side of the pressing block near the telescopic rod, a second fixing block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket, a second sliding shaft slidably connected to the inner wall of the second fixing block, and a limiting block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second sliding shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, a spring is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting block near the sliding shaft two, and a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding shaft two away from the limiting block. There are two fixing blocks in total, and the outer wall of the fixing blocks contains the same parts. The inner wall of the sliding groove one is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting post.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the limiting frame is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding shaft, two telescopic rods are provided, the end of the spring away from the compression block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket, the telescopic rod is located inside the spring, two fixing blocks are provided, and the end of the second spring away from the limiting block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second sliding shaft.
[0011] Furthermore, the splicing mechanism includes positioning holes inside the bracket, and there are two positioning holes in total. A positioning shaft is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket.
[0012] Furthermore, the bracket has a groove inside and a sliding groove three inside. A locking block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket. A limiting shaft is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket. A limiting piece is inserted into the outer wall of the limiting shaft. A nut is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting shaft. The outer wall of the nut contacts the limiting piece.
[0013] Furthermore, a second telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove, and two telescopic rods are provided in total. A clamping block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second telescopic rod.
[0014] Furthermore, a spring three is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping block near the telescopic rod two, and the end of the spring three away from the clamping block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove.
[0015] Furthermore, the telescopic rod two is located inside the spring three, and the clamping block three is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping block. The outer wall of the fixed block three is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove three.
[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. This utility model incorporates limiting posts. First, the feed trough is filled with feed. Then, the cow's head squeezes into the upper part between the two limiting posts. However, it cannot reach the feed in the trough from this position, so it needs to lower its head to eat. During the head-lowering process, the cow's neck squeezes the limiting posts. This mechanism can automatically lock the cow's head while it is eating, preventing it from escaping. This ensures that the cows do not compete for feed, improving feeding efficiency. It can also ensure the stability and safety of the animals during treatment, examination, injection, shearing, and other procedures.
[0018] 2. This utility model has a positioning shaft. When multiple supports need to be spliced together, the positioning shaft on one support is first inserted into the positioning hole on another support. Before insertion, the fixing blocks three are slid up and down to move the clamping blocks. This mechanism can be spliced together with multiple cattle neck clamps. The space can be flexibly adjusted as needed to optimize the layout and resource allocation of the livestock farm and facilitate unified operation and management.
[0019] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a self-locking cattle neck clip, including a bracket 101, a feed trough 102 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket 101, a self-locking mechanism 2 provided on the bracket 101, and a splicing mechanism 3 provided on the bracket 101.
[0030] The self-locking mechanism 2 includes a fixing block 201 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket 101. A rotating shaft 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 201. A limit post 203 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 202. A first sliding groove 204 is provided on the inner wall of the bracket 101. By setting the limit post 203, the neck of the cattle is limited to prevent the cattle from fighting for feed, thus managing the feeding behavior of the cattle and improving feeding efficiency. A second sliding groove 205 is provided inside the limit post 203. A sliding shaft 206 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second sliding groove 205. A limit frame 207 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bracket 101. A limit frame 207 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket 101. A telescopic rod 208 is connected, and a limiting frame 207 is set to limit the rotation position of the limiting post 203, preventing misalignment between the limiting posts 203 and thus rendering them ineffective. A pressing block 209 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the telescopic rod 208, and a spring 210 is fixedly connected to the side of the pressing block 209 near the telescopic rod 208. A fixing block 211 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket 101, and a sliding shaft 212 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 211. By setting the pressing block 209, when the cattle eat the feed, the pressing block 209 will press the lower half of the limiting post 203, thereby making... The cow raises its neck and disengages from the device. A limiting block 213 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding shaft 212. A spring 214 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting block 213 near the sliding shaft 212, and a fixing frame 215 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding shaft 212 away from the limiting block 213. There are two fixing blocks 201. By using the spring 214, the limiting block 213 is compressed, thereby limiting the limiting post 203 and preventing the cow from disengaging between the two limiting posts 203. The outer wall of the fixing block 201 contains identical parts. The inner wall of the sliding groove 204 is the same as the outer wall of the limiting post 203. The sliding connection is provided. The inner wall of the limiting frame 207 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding shaft 206. There are two telescopic rods 208. By setting the sliding shaft 206, during the movement of the limiting post 203, the sliding shaft 206 will slide in the second sliding groove 205 and the limiting frame 207 respectively, limiting the position of the limiting post 203. The end of the spring 210 away from the pressing block 209 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket 101. The telescopic rod 208 is located inside the spring 210. There are two fixing blocks 211. The end of the spring 214 away from the limiting block 213 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second sliding shaft 212.
[0031] The splicing mechanism 3 includes two positioning holes 301 inside the bracket 101. A positioning shaft 302 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket 101. A groove 303 is provided inside the bracket 101. By providing the positioning holes 301, the splicing position is positioned when the two neck clamps are spliced, preventing positional deviation during splicing. A sliding groove 307 is provided inside the bracket 101. A locking block 309 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket 101. A limiting shaft 310 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket 101. The wall-mounted limit plate 311 is provided. By setting the limit plate 311, when splicing, the limit plate 311 is fitted onto the two limit plates 311 to fix the spliced cow neck clamp. The outer wall of the limit shaft 310 is threaded with a nut 312. The outer wall of the nut 312 contacts the limit plate 311. The inner wall of the groove 303 is fixedly connected with a telescopic rod 304. There are two telescopic rods 304. The outer wall of the telescopic rod 304 is fixedly connected with a clamping block 305. By setting the clamping block 305, the clamping block 309 is clamped and fixed, which facilitates the splicing and fixing between the two cow neck clamps.
[0032] A spring 306 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping block 305 near the telescopic rod 304. The end of the spring 306 away from the clamping block 305 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 303. The telescopic rod 304 is located inside the spring 306. A fixing block 308 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping block 305. By setting the spring 306, the clamping block 305 is squeezed, thereby bringing the two clamping blocks 305 closer together, and thus clamping and fixing the locking block 309 between the two clamping blocks 305, which helps to splice multiple cow neck clamps. The outer wall of the fixing block 308 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 307.
[0033] One specific application of this embodiment is:
[0034] First, the feed trough 102 is filled with feed. Then, the cow's head squeezes into the upper part between the two limiting posts 203. However, it cannot reach the feed in the feed trough 102 from this position, so it needs to lower its head to eat the feed. During the lowering process, the cow's neck will squeeze the limiting posts 203, thereby squeezing the lower part of the two limiting posts 203, causing the two limiting posts 203 to rotate around the rotating shaft 202. When rotating, it will squeeze the squeezing block 209, thereby compressing the telescopic rod 208 and the spring 210. Then, the upper part of the two limiting posts 203 will contact the limiting block 213. Since the contact surface of the limiting block 213 is designed with a slope, the limiting posts 203 will squeeze the limiting block 213, thereby compressing the spring 214.When the limiting post 203 passes the limiting block 213, the reaction force of the second spring 214 will push the limiting block 213. Since the other side of the limiting block 213 is designed to be vertical, the limiting post 203 will be locked by the limiting block 213, thus making both limiting posts 203 vertical and limiting the cow's head. When the cow finishes eating, the fixed frame 215 is manually pulled, causing the sliding shaft 212 to move, which in turn moves the limiting block 213, thereby squeezing the second spring 214. At this time, after the cow finishes eating, its head will rise, pressing against the upper part of the limiting post 203. The cow's neck is compressed to both sides, and the lower half of the limiting post 203 is also compressed by the compression block 209 due to the presence of the spring 210. This compression causes the cow's neck to automatically rise, returning the two limiting posts 203 to their initial state and then disengaging between the upper halves of the limiting posts 203. The presence of the slide groove 205, sliding shaft 206, and limiting frame 207 ensures that the limiting posts 203 remain on the same surface during movement, thus limiting their movement. This mechanism automatically locks the cow's head while it is eating, preventing it from escaping. This ensures that cattle do not compete for feed, improving feeding efficiency. It also ensures the animals remain stable and safe during treatment, examination, injection, shearing, and other procedures. When multiple supports 101 need to be spliced together, first insert the positioning shaft 302 on one support 101 into the positioning hole 301 on another support 101. Before insertion, first slide the fixing block 308 up and down to move the clamping block 305. During the movement of the clamping block 305, it will compress the telescopic rod 304 and the spring 306, and then the locking block 309 will be in a position. Between the two clamping blocks 305, when the fixing block 308 is released, the reaction force of the spring 306 will push the clamping block 305, and the two clamping blocks 305 will come together to squeeze the locking block 309, thereby clamping and fixing the locking block 309. Then, the limiting piece 311 is put into the limiting shaft 310 on the two brackets 101 and fixed with the nut 312 to complete the splicing of multiple brackets 101. This mechanism can be spliced by multiple cattle neck clamps, and the space used can be flexibly adjusted as needed to optimize the layout and resource allocation of the livestock farm, and facilitate unified operation and management.
