[0002] Sheep farming, as a traditional livestock industry, is characterized by low investment, quick returns, and strong adaptability, and occupies an important position in my country's agricultural production. Modern sheep farming mostly adopts a combination of pen-raising and grazing, emphasizing scientific feeding and management. Farms need to be equipped with well-ventilated pens, clean drinking water facilities, and feed troughs. The feed mainly consists of silage, hay, and concentrated feed. Daily management requires attention to regular disease prevention, deworming, and pen disinfection, with a focus on preventing infectious diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease and sheep pox.

[0003] In sheep farming, sheep often need to be grazed. After grazing, they need to be herded back to the pen. During this process, adult sheep and lambs need to be separated due to their different sizes. Therefore, a separation device is needed to separate adult sheep and lambs and herd them back to the pen. However, the existing separation device cannot quickly adjust the spacing between two adjacent fences to accommodate the growing size of the sheep, which causes considerable inconvenience to livestock workers. Therefore, further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a sheep diversion device is disclosed, comprising a fence 1, with multiple partitions 2 fixed inside the fence 1, dividing the fence 1 into multiple zones 3. Each zone 3 has a channel 4 on one side, and a diversion component 5 is fixed on the side of the channel 4 away from the fence 1. The diversion component 5 includes a frame plate 51 fixedly connected to the channel 4. Multiple partitions 52 are fixedly and vertically at equal intervals inside the frame plate 51, dividing the frame plate 51 into multiple passage openings 53. A strip opening 54 is provided on the top of the frame plate 51 above each passage opening 53. A vertical railing 55 is provided inside each passage opening 53. An adjustment mechanism for driving the railing 55 to move is installed on the top of the frame plate 51.

[0023] The side of passage 4 away from fence 1 has a funnel-shaped design.

[0024] In this embodiment, the width of the passage 4 on the side away from the fence 1 is greater than the width on the side closer to the fence 1, thereby ensuring that the frame plate 51 can be designed to be wider, so that more sheep can pass through the passage opening 53 on the frame plate 51 at the same time.

[0025] The adjustment mechanism includes two side plates 57 fixed to the top of the frame plate 51 on both sides. A lead screw 58 is rotatably connected between the two side plates 57 via a bearing. An internal thread rod 59 is rotatably connected to the surface of the lead screw 58 via a thread. The length of the internal thread rod 59 is less than the distance between the two side plates 57. A U-shaped plate 510 is fixed to the lower surface of the internal thread rod 59 near each slot 54. The U-shaped plate 510 is slidably connected to the slot 54. The top of the railing 55 is inserted into the U-shaped plate 510.

[0026] In this embodiment, the lead screw 58 is made of stainless steel to prevent rusting during use. Since the U-shaped plate 510 is fixed to the internal threaded rod 59 and slides along the slot 54, the U-shaped plate 510 limits the internal threaded rod 59, preventing it from rotating. When the lead screw 58 is rotated, it drives the internal threaded rod 59 to move along the slot 54, thereby moving multiple U-shaped plates 510 and multiple railings 55. The railings 55 move laterally within the passageway 53, simultaneously changing the widest dimension of the multiple passageways 53 to allow sheep of different sizes to pass through.

[0027] A handwheel 512 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 58. The handwheel 512 facilitates the rotation of the lead screw 58.

[0028] The side wall of the U-shaped plate 510 is penetrated and connected by a locking bolt 511 via a threaded rotation. One end of the locking bolt 511 located inside the U-shaped plate 510 is in contact with the surface of the railing 55.

[0029] In this embodiment, a knob is fixed to one end of the locking bolt 511 outside the U-shaped plate 510. The knob has anti-slip texture. The locking bolt 511 can be turned by rotating the knob without the need for special tools. Therefore, when installing the railing 55, first pass the railing 55 through the upper slot 54, then insert the top of the railing 55 into the U-shaped plate 510, and then tighten the locking bolt 511 to press and fix the railing 55.

[0030] A scale line 56 is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the frame plate 51 and below each passage 53.

[0031] When the railing 55 is moved by adjusting the mechanism, the maximum width of the passage 53 can be determined by referring to the position of the railing 55 by the scale line 56.

[0032] Working principle: The frame plate 51 is fixedly connected to the channel 4 by welding or bolts. Then, the internal railings 55 of each frame plate 51 are adjusted laterally by the adjustment mechanism at the top of each frame plate 51, so that the size of the passage opening 53 of each frame plate 51 is different, so that different flocks of sheep can pass through the passage openings 53 of the frame plate 51 to enter different sections 3. To adjust the position of the railings 55, simply turn the handwheel 512 at the top of the frame plate 51.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
