[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention; that is, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Specific embodiments of the horse-transporting semi-trailer provided by this utility model:

[0025] Please see Figure 1-7 The horse transport semi-trailer includes a storage compartment 1, an ice compartment 2, and a horse compartment 3 arranged sequentially from front to back; the ice compartment 2 contains several ice blocks 4, and a ventilation fan 5 is provided between the ice compartment 2 and the horse compartment 3.

[0026] A front door 8 is installed on one side of the storage compartment 1; a front inner door 9 is installed between the storage compartment 1 and the ice storage compartment 2. A rear inner door 10 is installed between the ice storage compartment 2 and the horse compartment 3. A ventilation fan 5 is located on the upper part of the rear inner door 10, and a return air vent 11 is provided at the lower part of the rear inner door 10, which can form air circulation and heat exchange, so that the horse compartment 3 can be cooled down quickly.

[0027] Storage compartment 1 can hold materials such as horse feed, and the front door 8 facilitates personnel access. Ice blocks 4 can be placed into the ice storage compartment 2 through the inner front door 9. The ice storage compartment 2 contains a tank where the ice blocks 4 are placed; the water from the melted ice blocks 4 is stored at the bottom of the tank. A drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the tank, extending outside the ice storage compartment 2, and a plug is installed at the end of the drain pipe. The melted water in the tank can also be used as drinking water for the horses.

[0028] The ventilation fan 5 draws cool air from the ice compartment 2 into the horse compartment 3, lowering the temperature of the horse compartment 3 and preventing the horses from suffering heatstroke. Several glass side windows 12 are provided on the side walls of the horse compartment 3 to improve the horses' comfort during transport and reduce fear.

[0029] Each compartment's sidewalls utilize a sandwich panel structure, providing insulation and maintaining a temperature difference between the interior and exterior environments. The outer skin is made of fiberglass, with a welded square tube frame in the middle, and the inner skin is made of food-grade thermoplastic sheet. These three materials are pressed together using a large-plate pressing process, resulting in both insulation and high strength, ensuring the overall safety of the carriage.

[0030] The chassis uses high-strength B750LD steel from Shanghai Baosteel, with overall automatic submerged arc welding and full-vehicle shot blasting technology. The anti-corrosion process is thorough and advanced, and it is coated with Jiangsu Hualing two-component polyurethane paint. The chassis features a gooseneck structure and Shanghai Double Coin vacuum tires (235 / 75R17.5), lowering the floor height for easier loading and unloading by horses. It also includes a WABCO EBS anti-rollover system and air suspension to reduce bumps during transport.

[0031] A rear door 7 is hinged to the rear side of the horse compartment 3, with its lower end hinged to the horse compartment 3. An L-shaped support member 21 is connected to the lower end of the rear door 7. A hydraulic cylinder 22 is hinged between the end of the support member 21 and the lower bottom of the horse compartment 3. A pad 20, made of hard rubber, is provided on the outer upper part of the rear door 7. There are two support members 21 and two hydraulic cylinders 22, which operate synchronously to open and close the rear door 7. Because the rear door 7 has an integral structure and a relatively high height, when the upper part of the rear door 7 is flipped downwards until the pad 20 contacts the ground, the rear door 7 forms a gentle slope, facilitating the horses' entry and exit.

[0032] The locking and positioning structure of rear door 7 adopts the traditional locking and positioning structure of a van, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this is not the focus of protection in this embodiment, and will not be described again in this embodiment.

[0033] Several partitions 6 are hinged inside the horse compartment 3; the partitions 6 separate the horses, limit their positions, reduce horse collisions, improve safety, and can transport a larger number of horses.

[0034] The inner sides of both sides of the horse cabin 3 are provided with two layers of horizontal positioning ribs 13. The positioning ribs 13 extend from the front end to the rear end of the horse cabin 3, and several vertical through holes are evenly arranged on the positioning ribs 13.

[0035] A positioning pin 14 is provided at the end of the partition 6 away from the hinge end, corresponding to this end of the partition 6. The vertical spacing between the upper and lower positioning ribs 13 of the side wall of the horse cabin 3 is small. This end of the partition 6 extends between the two layers of positioning ribs 13. The positioning pin 14 is an L-shaped round rod structure. When the positioning pin 14 is inserted into the through hole of the positioning rib 13 at this end of the partition 6, the positioning of this end of the partition 6 is achieved.

[0036] The hinged end of the partition 6 is located between the upper and lower layers of positioning ribs 13 on the other side wall of the horse compartment 3. The vertical distance between the two layers of positioning ribs 13 corresponding to the hinged end of the partition 6 is relatively large. A fixing pin 15 is connected to the lower part of the hinged end of the partition 6. The fixing pin 15 extends into the through hole of the lower positioning rib 13. A telescopic pin 16 with vertical extension is provided at the upper part of the hinged end of the partition 6. The telescopic pin 16 extends into the through hole of the upper positioning rib 13, allowing the partition 6 to rotate. The telescopic pin 16 can retract and exit from the through hole of the upper positioning rib 13. After exiting, there is a certain vertical gap between it and the upper positioning rib 13. By lifting the partition 6 upward, the fixing pin 15 is separated from the lower positioning rib 13, and the partition 6 can be removed.

[0037] The number of through holes on each positioning rib 13 is greater than the number of partitions 6, allowing the position of the partitions 6 to be adjusted, thereby adjusting the spacing between the partitions 6 to accommodate horses of different sizes and make full use of the internal space. In this embodiment, after the two ends of the partitions 6 are positioned, all partitions 6 are in an inclined state.

[0038] To achieve the extension and retraction of the telescopic pin 16, such as Figure 6 As shown, the telescopic pin 16 slides through the upper part of the hinge end of the partition 6; the lower end of the telescopic pin 16 is connected to a T-shaped locking plate 17, and a tension spring 18 is connected between the locking plate 17 and the upper part of the partition 6. The tension spring 18 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic pin 16. The upper part of the hinge end of the partition 6 is provided with a vertical hole for the telescopic pin 16 to pass through. The tension spring 18 causes the locking plate 17 and the telescopic pin 16 to move upward and the upper end of the telescopic pin 16 to extend out.

[0039] The hinged end of partition 6 is connected to the center of the locking plate 17 via a threaded connection with a plum blossom handle bolt 19. The center of the hinged end of partition 6 is provided with a hole to accommodate the head of the plum blossom handle bolt 19. The stud section of the plum blossom handle bolt 19 is horizontal and connected to partition 6 via a thread. Rotate the plum blossom handle bolt 19 until it does not affect the lifting and lowering of the locking plate 17. Pull down the locking plate 17 to overcome the tension of the tension spring 18, causing the locking plate 17 and the telescopic pin 16 to move down. The telescopic pin 16 retracts, and the locking plate 17 moves down below the plum blossom handle bolt 19. Rotate the plum blossom handle bolt 19 until it blocks the upper side of the locking plate 17, thus achieving the positioning after the telescopic pin 16 retracts. Then lift the partition 6 to separate the fixing pin 15 from the lower positioning rib 13, and then the partition 6 can be removed.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still make modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments without creative effort, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
