Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to an electrified rope winding reel for ranches. Background Technology

[0002] Electrified ropes are a common type of enclosure equipment used in agricultural and livestock production. They can be used to prevent herbivores from trampling and grazing on farmland, and can also be used as enclosures for animals in livestock farms. Most existing electrified ropes are rope-like structures that include electrical wires, which can provide both physical protection and prevent animals from rushing into or escaping the protected area of ​​the electrified rope.

[0003] The main body of the energized rope winding reel is used to wind and store the energized rope. When setting the energized rope to the pasture fence, it is suspended on the fence or other facilities such as tractors. The other end is pulled by the workers to release the rope and surround the pasture fence. Currently, when using the existing winding reel main body to release or wind the energized rope, the rope at the release end or the end to be wound is messy, which can easily lead to problems such as knotting, affecting the efficiency of release or winding. In order to solve the above problems, the applicant first designed a winding reel main body and applied for a patent, patent number CN222498236U, which discloses an energized rope winding reel main body for pastures. It is equipped with a U-shaped rope guide frame, which is connected to the rear end of the support, and the bottom of the frame has a rope guide hole with a length parallel to the axis of the winding reel. When winding up the energized rope, the rope is straightened after passing through the guide hole before being wound onto the winding wheel. This prevents the energized rope from getting tangled during winding and improves the neatness and efficiency of the winding. However, in actual use, the design of the handle 21 has certain defects. It provides poor protection for the worker's hands. When holding the rope or winding it up, the energized rope is likely to come into contact with the hand. The surface of the rope is usually not smooth enough, or burrs may develop after a period of use. Contact with the hand during winding up can easily cause injury. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides an electrified rope winding reel for ranches.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An electrified rope reel for a ranch includes a reel body rotatably connected to the center of a support frame, with a rocker arm at the center for driving its rotation. The rocker arm passes through the support frame and is detachably connected to the reel body.

[0007] The bracket is U-shaped and spans across the winding wheel body along the axial direction of the winding wheel body. A protective handle is installed on the part of the bracket that spans across the winding wheel body.

[0008] The protective handle includes a grip portion mounted on the bracket, which extends upward relative to the bracket. The grip portion has an integrally formed protective part on the side near the main body of the winding wheel, and is U-shaped with the opening facing away from the main body of the winding wheel.

[0009] To facilitate the installation of the protective handle, the length of the grip portion is greater than the length of the protective portion, and the bottom end of the grip portion extends outward relative to the protective portion.

[0010] The protective handle is fixed by a bracket installed on the front side of the bracket, and the bottom of the grip is fixed to the bracket.

[0011] The fixing method between the fixing frame and the grip is as follows: the fixing frame includes an upwardly extending connecting part; a slot for inserting the connecting part is obliquely opened at the position where the grip contacts the bottom end of the protective part; and an insertion port is opened at the corresponding position of the protective part.

[0012] The connecting part is fixed to the bottom of the grip part by fasteners.

[0013] The fastener is specifically designed as follows: the fastener includes a fastening bolt; multiple mounting holes are provided at the bottom end of the grip and at corresponding positions of the connecting part; the fastening bolt passes through the mounting holes of both and is fixed in the protective part by a nut; and a mounting groove is provided in the grip at a corresponding position for accommodating the fastening bolt and the fastening nut.

[0014] To improve the stability of the connection between the connecting part and the grip, an insertion hole is provided in the protective part above the mounting hole, and the insertion hole passes through the slot. The connecting part is reinforced and fixed to the protective part by a reinforcing bolt passing through the insertion hole and the connecting part.

[0015] To facilitate the installation and removal of reinforcing bolts, the protective part is provided with an operating hole coaxially with the corresponding insertion hole for fastening tools to pass through.

[0016] To facilitate gripping by staff, the end face of the grip near the protective part is provided with multiple arc-shaped grooves for accommodating fingers.

[0017] To facilitate support of the winding wheel body, the fixing frame also includes a fixing hook that extends downward and bends toward the winding wheel body.

[0018] To facilitate the winding of the conductive rope, the open end of the bracket is connected to a wire frame, which is U-shaped and its opening direction is opposite to that of the bracket.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model is a reel for winding electrified ropes for ranches, which further optimizes the stability and smoothness of the winding and unwinding process of electrified ropes. Through the reverse opening design of the bracket and the U-shaped guide frame, the two form a synergistic rope guiding structure, ensuring that the electrified rope remains straight during winding and unwinding. Combined with the guiding effect of the original guide hole, it further reduces rope twisting and stacking. Compared with the rope guiding scheme of the prior patent, the neatness of the rope arrangement and the winding and unwinding efficiency are significantly improved, especially suitable for the rapid deployment needs of long-distance ranch fences. It also achieves a targeted breakthrough in operator protection. The integrated design of the U-shaped protective part and the handle forms an effective barrier, preventing direct contact between the electrified rope and the hand during winding and unwinding, fundamentally solving the problem of rope burrs scratching the hand in traditional handle designs. The arc-shaped receiving groove of the handle conforms to the contour of the fingers, improving grip stability and reducing hand fatigue during operation, providing a safer and more comfortable operating experience for long-term work. The overall structural stability and adaptability are enhanced. The mounting bracket, through the precise fit of slots and sockets, combined with the double fixation of fastening bolts and reinforcing bolts, forms a rigid connection between the protective handle and the bracket, preventing loosening and deformation after long-term use. At the same time, the bending design of the fixing hook enhances the support between the equipment and the ground. Combined with the symmetrical structure of the guide frame and the bracket, it ensures that the equipment remains stable in scenarios such as tractor towing or railing suspension, significantly improving the reliability of use in complex outdoor environments.

[0029] Example

[0030] As mentioned in the background section, the applicant is dedicated to the research of accessories and equipment related to electric ropes for ranches. When winding the electric rope, a winding wheel body 1 is required. The applicant has previously designed a winding wheel body 1 and applied for a patent, which solved the problem of inconvenient winding. However, in actual use, there are still certain technical defects. When holding the handle to wind or unwind the rope, the rope on the winding wheel is very easy to come into contact with and rub against the hand, which can easily cause injury to the hand. Therefore, the applicant has improved upon its own design of the winding wheel body 1 and designed a new type of winding wheel body 1, which can provide a certain degree of protection for the worker's hands when winding and unwinding the rope. The following is a detailed explanation with reference to the illustrations.

[0031] This embodiment discloses an electrified rope reel for ranches, aiming to solve the problem of insufficient protection of the handle of the existing reel body 1, which easily leads to hand injuries. By optimizing the protective structure and grip design, it improves the safety and convenience of operation. Its specific structure is as follows, see below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The main body 1 of the winding reel comprises a winding body, a support structure, and protective components. The core components include the winding reel body 1, a bracket 2, a rocker arm 3, and a protective handle 4. These components work together to achieve orderly winding and unwinding of the energized rope and provide operational protection. The applicant has described the winding reel body 1 and rocker arm 3 in detail in their prior patent CN222498236U, so further details are omitted here. The rocker arm 3, as a driving component, has one end connected to the central axis of the winding reel body 1 via a detachable connector, and the other end extends outward through a through-hole on the side of the bracket 2. A handle is provided at the end for easy gripping. By rotating the rocker arm 3, the operator can rotate the winding reel body 1 in both directions, thus winding and unwinding the energized rope. The two ends of the winding reel body 1 are rotatably connected to the middle of the bracket 2 via bearings, allowing it to rotate flexibly around its own axis. The bracket 2 adopts a U-shaped structure design, spanning both ends along the axis of the winding wheel body 1. The crossbeam of the bracket 2 spanning the winding wheel body 1 serves as the installation base for the protective handle 4, taking into account both structural strength and ease of assembly.

[0032] In this embodiment, to avoid direct contact between the hand and the power cord during operation, a protective handle 4 is installed on the front side of the bracket 2. The handle is integrally formed by the grip part 41 and the protective part 42, and is made of high-strength engineering plastic. The grip part 41 extends upward, and its length is greater than that of the protective part 42. The bottom end extends beyond the protective part 42. Protective cover plates 49 are inserted into both sides of the grip part 41 to protect its interior. The grip part 41 is solid in shape, and various grooves and holes are opened inside as needed for fixing with the bracket. The protective part 42 is U-shaped, forming a gripping area that is easy for the palm to fit. Multiple arc-shaped receiving grooves 48 are processed on the end face near the protective part 42. The groove shape is adapted to the contour of the fingers, which can reduce slippage during gripping and improve operational stability. The protective part 42 is connected to the hand grip part 41 on the side near the winding wheel body 1, with the opening facing away from the winding wheel body 1, forming a protective barrier around the hand. This can effectively prevent the energized rope from shifting towards the hand during winding and unwinding, and avoid damage caused by burrs or rough rope surfaces contacting the skin.

[0033] Based on the above structure, the protective handle 4 is securely connected to the bracket 2 via a fixing frame 5. The fixing frame 5 includes an upwardly extending connecting part 51 and a downwardly bent fixing hook 52. The top of the connecting part 51 is inserted into a pre-set slot 43 at the bottom of the grip part 41, thus combining... Figure 4 The corresponding protective part 42 has a slot 6, allowing the connecting part 51 to penetrate into the inside of the protective part 42. To enhance the connection strength, combined with... Figure 3 The protective handle 4 does not have a protective cover plate 49 inserted on its side. Multiple mounting holes 44 are provided at the bottom of the grip 41 and corresponding positions of the connecting part 51. After the fastening bolt passes through these mounting holes 44, it is locked in place by a nut inside the protective part 42. A mounting groove 45 is reserved inside the grip 41 to fully accommodate the bolt head and nut, preventing the protruding structure from injuring the hand. In addition, an insertion hole 46 is provided above the mounting holes 44 at the corresponding positions of the protective part 42 and the connecting part 51. The reinforcing bolt passes through the insertion hole 46 to further fix the two. The insertion hole 46 can be set as a trapezoidal hole to ensure that the reinforcing bolt can be inserted entirely into the insertion hole 46. The side of the protective part 42 also has an operating hole 47 coaxial with the insertion hole 46, facilitating the insertion of fastening tools to complete the bolt tightening and ensuring assembly firmness. Reinforcing bolts can be added selectively; if the protective handle 4 has strong stability after fixing, they are not necessary. The fixing hook 52 bends towards the winding wheel body 1 and can be supported on the ground or other objects, enhancing overall stability during operation.

[0034] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 1The bracket 2 is also connected to a wire frame 8 at its open end. The wire frame 8 also adopts a U-shaped structure and the opening direction is opposite to that of the bracket 2. Its bottom is provided with a guide hole extending along the axis of the winding wheel body 1. The power-carrying rope passes through the guide hole and then winds around the winding wheel body 1, which can guide the rope to keep straight. In conjunction with the rope groove on the surface of the winding wheel body 1, it further improves the winding neatness and avoids knotting or tangling.
