Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slaughterhouse technology, and in particular to a pig herding path. Background Technology

[0002] During the pig farming process, special pig-driving lanes are usually built in pig farms to facilitate the movement of pigs between pens and loading onto trucks. Currently, these lanes are typically equipped with hinged doors on both sides, allowing them to open and close within a certain range.

[0003] However, this design does not fully consider the behavioral characteristics of pigs. During the herding process, pigs may try to retreat due to fright or changes in the environment, which reduces the herding efficiency and thus affects the overall production efficiency of the pig farm. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a pig herding path that prevents pigs from retreating during herding, thereby improving the production efficiency of pig farms.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the pig herding path proposed in this utility model includes:

[0006] The passage body includes two fences, which together form a pig-driving passage for providing a movement path for pigs;

[0007] A hinged door, comprising two door panels and two hinge structures; each hinge structure includes a pivot, a first hinge, and a second hinge, the first and second hinges being rotatably connected via the pivot; two first hinges are respectively disposed on two door panels, and two second hinges are respectively disposed on two door panels; and

[0008] A limiting mechanism includes two limiting blocks, which are respectively disposed on the two fences; each limiting block has an abutment surface, and each abutment surface is used to abut against the side wall of a door body away from the corresponding second hinge to limit the door body.

[0009] In one embodiment, each of the abutting surfaces is perpendicular to the plane in which the corresponding fence is located.

[0010] In one embodiment, the limiting mechanism further includes two arc-shaped locking blocks, each of which is disposed on a fence and located directly below the corresponding gate; the arc-shaped locking blocks form a plurality of sliding grooves connected end to end, and the gate is provided with a protrusion, each of which is used to slide in connection with the groove wall of the corresponding sliding groove.

[0011] In one embodiment, the slide is a V-shaped groove, and the door body has a protrusion that matches the slide.

[0012] In one embodiment, the limiting mechanism further includes two elastic members, each of which has its two ends connected to a limiting block and a side wall of the door body away from the second hinge, respectively.

[0013] In one embodiment, the elastic element is a spring.

[0014] In one embodiment, the pig-driving path further includes two buffer pads, each of which is disposed on the side wall of the corresponding door body opposite to the second hinge.

[0015] In one embodiment, the cushioning pad is made of polyurethane foam.

[0016] In one embodiment, the passage body further includes a plurality of pulleys, each of which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the two fences.

[0017] In one embodiment, the pig-driving path further includes a plurality of lighting lamps, each of which is located on top of the two fences to illuminate the pig-driving path.

[0018] In the technical solution of this utility model, the pig herding passage includes a passage body, an opening and closing door, and a limiting mechanism. The passage body includes two fences, which together form a pig herding passage for providing a movement path for pigs. The opening and closing door includes two door bodies and two hinge structures. Each hinge structure includes a pivot, a first hinge, and a second hinge, which are rotatably connected by the pivot. The two first hinges are respectively located on the two fences, and the two second hinges are respectively located on the two door bodies. The limiting mechanism includes two limiting blocks, which are respectively located on the two fences. Each limiting block has an abutment surface, and each abutment surface is used to abut against the side wall of a door body away from the corresponding second hinge to limit the door body. In the technical solution of this utility model, when pigs move forward in the driving direction in the pig driving passage and try to retreat after passing through the opening and closing gate due to fright or environmental changes, the contact surface abuts against the gate body, causing the limiting block to stop the gate body from opening and closing in the opposite direction of the driving direction. In this way, the opening and closing gate cannot be opened in the opposite direction, thereby effectively preventing pigs from retreating and improving the production efficiency of the pig farm.

[0030] This utility model proposes a pig herding track 1000.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the pig herding passage 1000 includes a passage body, an opening and closing door 2, and a limiting mechanism. The passage body includes two fences 11, which together form a pig herding passage 1a for providing a movement path for pigs. The opening and closing door 2 includes two door bodies 21 and two hinge structures 22. Each hinge structure 22 includes a pivot 221, a first hinge 222, and a second hinge 223. The first hinge 222 and the second hinge 223 are rotatably connected by the pivot 221. The two first hinges 222 are respectively disposed on the two fences 11, and the two second hinges 223 are respectively disposed on the two door bodies 21. The limiting mechanism includes two limiting blocks 31, which are respectively disposed on the two fences 11. Each limiting block 31 has an abutment surface 31a, and each abutment surface 31a is used to abut against the side wall of a door body 21 away from the corresponding second hinge 223 to limit the door body 21.

[0032] In the technical solution of this utility model, when pigs move forward in the driving direction within the pig driving passage 1a and attempt to retreat after passing through the opening and closing gate 2 due to fright or environmental changes, the contact surface 31a abuts against the gate body 21, causing the limiting block 31 to stop the gate body 21 from opening and closing in the opposite direction of the driving direction. In this way, the opening and closing gate 2 cannot be opened in the opposite direction, thereby effectively preventing pigs from retreating and improving the production efficiency of the pig farm.

[0033] Specifically, the enclosure 11 of the passageway body can be made of metal or high-strength plastic to ensure the stability and durability of the structure. The hinge structure 22 of the opening and closing door 2 can be further optimized, for example, by using self-lubricating bearings to reduce friction and extend service life. The abutment surface 31a of the limiting block 31 can be designed to be adjustable to accommodate different sizes of door bodies 21 and enclosures 11, thereby improving the accuracy of limiting.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, each contact surface 31a is perpendicular to the plane of the corresponding fence 11. This design ensures that when a pig retreats and comes into contact with the gate 21, the gap between the two gates 21 is minimized when the contact surface 31a is perpendicular to the plane of the corresponding fence 11, thus effectively preventing smaller pigs from retreating through the gap.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, the limiting mechanism further includes two arc-shaped locking blocks 32. Each arc-shaped locking block 32 is disposed on a fence 11 and located directly below the corresponding gate body 21. The arc-shaped locking blocks 32 form multiple sliding grooves 32a connected end to end. The gate body 21 has protrusions 211, each protrusion 211 being used to slide in connection with the groove wall of the corresponding sliding groove 32a. The design of the arc-shaped locking blocks 32 enables the gate body 21 to move more stably during opening and closing, avoiding the gate body 21 from shifting or getting stuck due to the impact of pigs or other external forces. It guides the protrusions 211 of the gate body 21 to slide within the sliding grooves 32a, preventing the gate body 21 from shaking or shifting during movement, thereby ensuring that the gate body 21 does not leave the track of the sliding grooves 32a during movement. At the same time, the arc-shaped locking block 32 forms multiple connected sliding grooves 32a, so that the protrusion 211 can slide from one sliding groove 32a into another sliding groove 32a only when the gate body 21 is subjected to a large impact. Therefore, the sliding groove 32a and the protrusion 211 can play a limiting role, effectively preventing the gate body 21 from shaking back and forth when the pigs pass through, thus affecting the movement of the pigs.

[0036] It should be noted that the shape of each groove 32a can be a straight groove or a V-shaped groove. In one embodiment of this utility model, the groove 32a is a V-shaped groove, and the door body 21 has a protrusion 211 that matches the groove 32a. The V-shaped groove design makes the door body 21 more stable during the opening and closing process, reducing the force required for the protrusion 211 to slide from one groove 32a into another, thereby avoiding excessive jamming of the door body 21 during the opening and closing process, which would cause difficulty in opening and closing. At the same time, the inclined surface design of the V-shaped groove allows the door body 21 to automatically center itself during sliding, reducing friction or wear caused by the offset of the door body 21. It is worth mentioning that the size of the protrusion 211 can be adjusted according to the depth and width of the V-shaped groove to ensure the optimal performance of the door body 21 during sliding.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, the limiting mechanism further includes two elastic members 33, with each elastic member 33 having its two ends connected to a limiting block 31 and a side wall of the door 21 facing away from the second hinge 223, respectively. The introduction of the elastic members 33 allows the door 21 to move more smoothly during opening and closing, avoiding violent shaking or damage to the door 21 caused by sudden impacts or retreat of the pig.

[0038] It is understood that the elastic element 33 can be a spring or elastic silicone. In one embodiment of this utility model, the elastic element 33 is a spring. Using a spring as the elastic element 33 ensures that the elastic element 33 is not easily deformed during long-term use, thus preventing elastic failure. The spring design allows the door 21 to automatically reset through elastic force after the pigs are driven away, ensuring that the door 21 fits tightly against the limiting block 31 when closed, thereby improving the convenience for operators.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, the pig herding passage 1000 further includes two buffer pads 4, each buffer pad 4 being disposed on the side wall of the corresponding door 21 opposite to the second hinge 223. The buffer pads 4 can effectively prevent pigs from being injured due to excessive impact when passing through the opening and closing door 2, thereby reducing the economic losses caused by pig injuries.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, the buffer pad 4 is made of polyurethane foam. Polyurethane foam has good elasticity and cushioning performance, which can effectively absorb the impact force generated by the pig colliding with the door 21; at the same time, the buffer pad 4 made of polyurethane foam also has the advantages of wear resistance and aging resistance, which can ensure the stable performance of the buffer pad 4 during long-term use.

[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, the passage body further includes a plurality of pulleys 12, each pulley 12 being rotatably connected to the bottom of two fences 11. Through the design of the pulleys 12, the passage body can move flexibly between different positions, thereby adapting to different pig-driving needs and allowing for rapid position adjustment as needed, thus improving the applicability of the pig-driving passage 1000.

[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, the pig herding path 1000 further includes multiple lighting lamps 5, each of which is respectively installed on the top of the two fences 11 to illuminate the pig herding path 1a. The lighting lamps 5 significantly improve the lighting conditions of the pig herding path 1a, especially at night or in low-light environments, providing a clear path for the pigs and reducing panic or confusion caused by poor visibility. Therefore, the use of lighting lamps 5 can effectively improve the efficiency of herding pigs, reduce retreating behavior during the herding process, and thus improve the overall production efficiency of the pig farm.

[0043] The lighting fixtures 5 can be LED lights, halogen lamps, or other suitable lighting equipment. The specific installation location can be adjusted according to actual needs, such as installing them on the top or side of the fence 11. The number and distribution of the lighting fixtures 5 can be reasonably designed according to the length and width of the pig herding passage 1a to ensure that the lighting of the entire passage is uniform and sufficient.

[0044] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
