When cleaning is required, the two enclosed partitions can be easily separated and tilted through the linkage of the electric push rod, connecting rod, and connecting shaft, forming a long slit for easy cleaning. At this time, the external high-pressure water pump, in conjunction with the connecting pipe, horizontal pipe, and flat nozzle, sprays a high-pressure water curtain, which can thoroughly and effectively flush away sheep manure on the enclosed partitions, completing both the cleaning of manure inside the incubator and the cleaning of the enclosed partitions. This greatly reduces the frequency and labor intensity of manual cleaning by entering the incubator, and also reduces the disturbance and potential risks to lambs caused by manual cleaning. On the other hand, the electric slide rail drives the horizontal shaft to rotate, and the gear and rack on the horizontal shaft mesh to rotate the brush. The brush passes through the gaps in the bottom plate of the slit, which can push the sheep manure stuck in the gaps onto the enclosed partitions, further reducing sheep manure residue and ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the incubator, providing a strong guarantee for the healthy growth of lambs.
[0019] 2. The installation of the barrier strip can be quickly completed by passing the barrier bar through the clearance hole, flipping the barrier strip, and letting it slide into the vertical column, where it is then lifted by the support column. In actual use, the barrier strip can effectively prevent adult sheep from entering the constant temperature incubator, avoiding adverse effects such as squeezing and competing for food on the lambs, thus protecting the safety and normal growth of the lambs.

[0027] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a lamb nursery box for meat sheep, including a constant temperature nursery box 1, and a door 101 is installed on one side of the constant temperature nursery box 1;
[0029] The inner bottom of the constant temperature incubator 1 is equipped with a cleaning component 2. The cleaning component 2 includes a slotted bottom plate 201. Below the slotted bottom plate 201, there is a pair of closed partitions 202. The outer side of the closed partitions 202 is symmetrically fixedly connected with connecting shafts 203. A connecting pipe 204 is installed in the middle of one side of the closed partition 202. The top end of the connecting pipe 204 is fixedly connected to a horizontal pipe 205. Several flat nozzles 206 are installed on the horizontal pipe 205.
[0030] Among them, the connecting shaft 203 passes through the constant temperature incubator 1 and is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 207. The outer side of the constant temperature incubator 1 is symmetrically provided with electric push rods 210. The output end of the electric push rod 210 is fixedly connected to the curved plate 211, and the two ends of the curved plate 211 are fixedly connected to the guide column 212.
[0031] Among them, a pair of electric slide rails 213 and a horizontal shaft 214 are provided between the bottom plate 201 and the closed partition 202. Gears 215 are fixedly sleeved at both ends of the horizontal shaft 214, and a rack 216 is provided above the gears 215. A brush 217 is fixedly connected to the outside of the horizontal shaft 214.
[0032] The slotted bottom plate 201 is fixed to the inner bottom of the constant temperature incubator 1. The horizontal pipe 205 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the closed partition 202. The bottom end of the connecting pipe 204 is connected to an external high-pressure water pump. The flat nozzle 206 is fixedly installed at an angle. The outer side of the constant temperature incubator 1 is symmetrically fixedly connected with fixing plates 209, which are fixedly connected to electric push rods 210. When the two closed partitions 202 are separated, the external water pump, connecting pipe 204, horizontal pipe 205 and flat nozzle 206 are used to connect the pump. High-pressure water sprays out to cover the surface of the closed partition 202, washing away the sheep manure adhering to the closed partition 202 and leaving the long gap between the two closed partitions 202. As long as a suitable manure drainage channel is built under the constant temperature nursery 1, fully automatic and environmentally friendly automatic cleaning can be achieved, reducing the need for manual cleaning by entering the constant temperature nursery 1. A small amount of manure particles that cannot enter the slot bottom plate 201 can be swept into the slot when a person enters the box to check the condition of the lambs.
[0033] The top of the connecting rod 207 is provided with a linkage groove 208. The guide column 212 is slidably connected to the linkage groove 208. The two closed partitions 202 can be assembled into a complete plate. The two sides of the closed partition 202 are in contact with the inner wall of the constant temperature incubator 1. The connecting shaft 203 is rotatably connected to the constant temperature incubator 1. The closed partition 202 in the assembled state can maintain the closed integrity of the constant temperature incubator 1, reduce the heat loss caused by rapid air flow, and thus make the internal temperature unstable. By activating the electric push rod 210, the curved plate 211 is lowered, which causes the guide column 212 to pull the connecting rod 207 downward, which in turn causes the connecting rod 207 to pull the closed partition 202 downward through the connecting shaft 203, so that the two closed partitions 202 are separated and in an inclined state, with a long gap between them.
[0034] The rack 216 is fixed to the bottom surface of the slot base plate 201, and the gear 215 meshes with the rack 216. The brush 217 passes through the gap of the slot base plate 201. When the slider of the electric slide rail 213 moves, the rack 216 will rotate through the meshing gear 215, causing the horizontal shaft 214 to rotate. This causes the brush 217 to rotate and pass through the gap of the slot base plate 201, pushing the sheep manure stuck in the gap of the slot base plate 201 through the gap and onto the closed partition 202, reducing the residue of sheep manure and avoiding the need for staff to enter the constant temperature incubator 1 to clean it. The electric slide rail 213 is a waterproof model.
[0035] The guide rail of the electric slide rail 213 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the constant temperature incubator 1, and the horizontal shaft 214 is rotatably connected to the slider of the electric slide rail 213. The electric slide rail 213 and the constant temperature fresh air system of the constant temperature incubator 1 share a control panel, and its working process can be controlled through simple programming.
[0036] The door 101 includes a door frame and a flip door. The inner side of the door frame is provided with two pairs of blocking mechanisms 3. The blocking mechanism 3 includes a pair of bent hanging rods 301 and blocking strips 302. The bent hanging rods 301 are fixedly composed of a lifting column 3011, a vertical column 3012 and a blocking horizontal bar 3013. The lifting column 3011 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the door frame. The blocking strips 302 have clearance holes 3021 at both ends. The blocking horizontal bar 3013 first passes through the vertical clearance hole 3021, then flips the blocking strip 302 so that the clearance hole 3021 becomes horizontal and slides into the vertical column 3012. Finally, the lifting column 3011 lifts the blocking strip 302 so that the blocking strip 302 can be installed quickly. At this time, the blocking strip 302 can prevent large sheep from entering the constant temperature incubator 1, and allow small sheep with a height lower than the blocking strip 302 to enter smoothly, avoiding the situation where large sheep are deliberately prevented from entering the constant temperature incubator 1.
[0037] The bent hanging rod 301 slides through the clearance hole 3021, and the four outer corners of the constant temperature incubator 1 are fixedly installed with casters 102; the casters 102 with self-locking function can facilitate its transfer.
[0038] Working principle: Before using this type of lamb nursery box for meat sheep, it is necessary to check the overall condition of the device to ensure it can function properly. Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, in terms of cleaning, the initial state of the closed partition 202 is closed to maintain the integrity of the constant temperature incubator 1 and keep the internal temperature stable. When cleaning is required, the electric push rod 210 is activated. The output end of the electric push rod 210 drives the curved plate 211 to descend. The guide column 212 slides in the linkage groove 208 and pulls the connecting rod 207 downward. The connecting rod 207 drives the closed partition 202 downward through the connecting shaft 203, so that the two closed partitions 202 are separated and in an inclined state, forming a long slit.
[0039] At this time, the external high-pressure water pump works, spraying a high-pressure water curtain through the connecting pipe 204, horizontal pipe 205 and flat nozzle 206 to wash away the sheep manure on the closed partition 202. The sheep manure leaves the long gap with the water flow and falls into the manure discharge channel below the constant temperature incubator 1.
[0040] At the same time, the slider of the electric slide rail 213 moves, causing the horizontal shaft 214 to rotate. The gear 215 on the horizontal shaft 214 meshes with the rack 216 fixed on the bottom surface of the slot base plate 201, causing the horizontal shaft 214 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the brush 217 to rotate and pass through the gap of the slot base plate 201, pushing the sheep manure stuck in the gap onto the closed partition 202.
[0041] The blocking bar 3013 passes through the clearance hole 3021, flips the blocking bar 302 and slides it into the vertical column 3012, and is then lifted by the lifting column 3011 to complete the installation. The blocking bar 302 can prevent large sheep from entering the constant temperature incubator 1, while small sheep can enter smoothly because their height is lower than the blocking bar 302.
[0042] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments 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 invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
