Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheepfold fence technology, and in particular to an intelligent adjustable sheepfold fence device. Background Technology

[0002] Sheep pen fences are used to create a closed or semi-closed space around a sheep pen or flock of sheep. Sheep pen fences can keep sheep within a certain range, prevent them from escaping, and can divide different functional areas, such as resting areas, calving areas, and grazing areas, which facilitates management and feeding, prevents sheep from scattering and running around, and reduces damage and danger. However, most sheep pen fences in the current technology still have problems that need to be solved.

[0003] Most existing sheepfold fences are not easy to adjust in height according to actual conditions. When sheep behave abnormally, such as jumping, the fence height cannot be adjusted temporarily, which can easily lead to sheep escaping. If a high fence is set up directly, it will hinder staff from observing the sheep's condition and make it difficult to quickly detect problems. Therefore, it is necessary to design an intelligent adjustable sheepfold fence device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an intelligent adjustable sheepfold fence device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An intelligent adjustable sheepfold fence device includes two first horizontal plates, with second horizontal plates on both sides of each first horizontal plate. Several circular tubes are fixedly connected to the bottom of both the first and second horizontal plates. A circular rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of each circular tube. A first base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular rod at the bottom of the first horizontal plate, and a second base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular rod at the bottom of the second horizontal plate. A first fixing plate is fixedly connected to the same side of both the first and second horizontal plates on the same side. A signal transmitter is fixedly connected to one side of the first fixing plate. Second fixing plates are fixedly connected to the same side of both the first and second horizontal plates away from the signal transmitter. A signal receiver is fixedly connected to one side of the second fixing plate. An adjustment mechanism is provided at the bottom of each of the two first horizontal plates. A PLC programmable controller is provided on the side of the first horizontal plate closest to the signal receiver. Because it adopts an adjustable mechanism... This technology automatically adjusts the fence height based on actual conditions. When sheep exhibit abnormal behavior, such as jumping, it may block the signal transmitter, preventing the receiver from continuously receiving the signal. The adjustment mechanism can then adjust the height of the first and second horizontal plates, allowing the circular tube to move along the circular rod, thus raising the fence height and preventing sheep from jumping over. This effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background section, where existing sheepfold fences are often difficult to adjust in height according to actual conditions. When sheep exhibit abnormal behavior, such as jumping, the fence height cannot be adjusted temporarily, easily leading to sheep escape. Setting up high fences directly would hinder staff from observing the sheep's condition and making it difficult to quickly identify problems. This technology effectively prevents sheep from crossing the fence, ensuring the safety of the flock and the continuity of management. It also allows for timely response to changes in sheep behavior, improving the farm's responsiveness and enhancing management flexibility and adaptability.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this invention, the PLC programmable controller is electrically connected to the signal receiver via wires.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting mechanism includes a first support tube, which is fixedly connected to the top of the first base plate. A second support tube is slidably connected to the outer wall of the first support tube. The second support tube is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first horizontal plate. A lead screw nut is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top end of the first support tube. An adjusting lead screw is inserted through the lead screw nut. The lead screw nut is adapted to the adjusting lead screw. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting lead screw. The rotating shaft passes through the first horizontal plate and is rotatably connected to the first horizontal plate.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a control box is fixedly connected to one side of the first horizontal plate, the control box is sleeved on the PLC programmable controller, and the PLC programmable controller is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the control box.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the first horizontal plate, the mounting plate is sleeved on the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting plate, a motor is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, and the output end of the motor and the rotating shaft are connected by a coupling.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two limiting plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting plate, and the two limiting plates on the same side are fitted with the same limiting sleeve. The limiting sleeve is slidably connected to the limiting plate, and the limiting sleeve is fixedly connected to the top of the second horizontal plate.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, mounting holes are provided at both ends of the second base plate and the first base plate, and screws are provided in the mounting holes.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] Because it employs a technology that automatically adjusts the fence height according to actual conditions, when sheep exhibit abnormal behavior such as jumping, the signal transmitter will be blocked, and the signal receiver will be unable to continuously receive the signal. The height of the first and second horizontal plates can then be adjusted via an adjustment mechanism, allowing the circular tube to move along the circular rod and raising the fence height. This effectively prevents sheep from jumping over the fence, solving the problems mentioned in the background technology where most existing sheepfold fences are not easily height-adjustable according to actual conditions. When sheep exhibit abnormal behavior, such as jumping, the fence height cannot be adjusted temporarily, easily leading to sheep escape. Furthermore, directly setting up high fences would hinder staff from observing the sheep's condition and making it difficult to quickly detect problems. Therefore, this technology effectively prevents sheep from crossing the fence, ensuring the safety of the flock and the continuity of management. It also enables timely response to changes in sheep behavior, improving the farm's responsiveness and enhancing management flexibility and adaptability. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 An intelligent adjustable sheepfold fence device includes two first horizontal plates 1, with second horizontal plates 2 on both sides of each first horizontal plate 1. Several round tubes 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both the first and second horizontal plates 1 and 2. Round rods 4 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the round tubes 3. A first base plate 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the round rods 4 at the bottom of the first horizontal plate 1, and a second base plate 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the round rods 4 at the bottom of the second horizontal plate 2. First fixing plates 6 are fixedly connected to the same side of both the first horizontal plate 1 and the two second horizontal plates 2. A signal transmitter 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the first fixing plate 6. Second fixing plates 8 are fixedly connected to the same side of both the first horizontal plate 1 and the second horizontal plate 2 away from the signal transmitter 7. A signal receiver 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the second fixing plate 8. An adjustment mechanism 10 is provided at the bottom of both first horizontal plates 1. A PLC programmable controller 11 is provided on the side of the first horizontal plate 1 closest to the signal receiver 9. This invention employs a technology that automatically adjusts the fence height according to actual conditions. When sheep exhibit abnormal behavior, such as jumping, it blocks the signal transmitter, preventing the receiver from continuously receiving the signal. The height of the first and second horizontal plates can be adjusted via an adjustment mechanism, allowing the circular tube to move along the circular rod and raising the fence height. This effectively prevents sheep from jumping over the fence, solving the problems mentioned in the background section where most existing sheepfold fences are not easily adjustable in height according to actual conditions. When sheep exhibit abnormal behavior, such as jumping, the fence height cannot be adjusted temporarily, easily leading to sheep escape. Setting up high fences directly would hinder staff from observing the sheep's condition and making it difficult to quickly detect problems. This invention effectively prevents sheep from crossing the fence, ensuring the safety of the flock and the continuity of management. It also enables timely response to changes in sheep behavior, improving the farm's responsiveness and enhancing management flexibility and adaptability.

[0022] In this embodiment, the PLC programmable controller 11 is electrically connected to the signal receiver 9 via wires. When the signal receiver 9 does not receive the signal emitted by the signal transmitter 7, it will feed back to the PLC programmable controller 11, and the PLC programmable controller 11 will control the motor 14 to start adjusting the height of the fence.

[0023] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 10 includes a first support tube 1001, which is fixedly connected to the top of the first base plate 5. A second support tube 1002 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the first support tube 1001. The second support tube 1002 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first horizontal plate 1. A lead screw nut 1003 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the first support tube 1001. An adjusting lead screw 1004 passes through the lead screw nut 1003. The lead screw nut 1003 and the adjusting lead screw 1004 are adapted to each other. A rotating shaft 1005 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting lead screw 1004. The rotating shaft 1005 passes through the first horizontal plate 1 and is rotatably connected to the first horizontal plate 1. By rotating the adjusting lead screw 1004, the adjusting lead screw 1004 can move along the lead screw nut 1003, causing the rotating shaft 1005 to rise, thereby causing the first horizontal plate 1 to rise.

[0024] In this embodiment, a control box 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the first horizontal plate 1. The control box 12 is sleeved on the PLC programmable controller 11, and the PLC programmable controller 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the control box 12.

[0025] In this embodiment, a mounting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the first horizontal plate 1. The mounting plate 13 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 1005. The rotating shaft 1005 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 13. A motor 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 13. The output end of the motor 14 and the rotating shaft 1005 are connected by a coupling.

[0026] In this embodiment, two limiting plates 18 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting plate 13. The two limiting plates 18 on the same side are fitted with the same limiting sleeve 19. The limiting sleeve 19 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 18 and is fixedly connected to the top of the second horizontal plate 2. When the mounting plate 13 moves, it will drive the limiting plate 18 to move, and the limiting plate 18 will drive the limiting sleeve 19 to move, thereby adjusting the height of the second horizontal plate 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, mounting holes 16 are provided at both ends of the second base plate 15 and the first base plate 5. Screws 17 are provided in the mounting holes 16, and the screws 17 are drilled into the ground to fix the device.

[0028] Working principle: During assembly, the limiting sleeve 19 is placed on the limiting plate 18, so that the second horizontal plate 2 is against the first horizontal plate 1. The first base plate 5 and the second base plate 15 are placed on the ground, and the screws 17 are drilled into the ground to fix the device. The signal transmitter 7 and the signal receiver 9 are then activated. The signal transmitter 7 emits a laser signal, which is received by the signal receiver 9. When the sheep are restless, they will jump, and their jumping will block the laser signal emitted by the signal transmitter 7. The signal receiver 9 will not be able to receive the laser signal emitted by the signal transmitter 7, and will feed back to the PLC programmable controller 11. The PLC programmable controller 11 will start the motor 14. The output of the motor 14 will drive the coupling to rotate, which will drive the rotating shaft 1005 to rotate. The rotating shaft 1005 will drive the adjusting screw 1004 to rotate. When the adjusting screw 1004 moves along the screw nut 1003, the adjusting screw 1004 will rise, which will drive the rotating shaft 1005 to rise. The rotating shaft 1005 will drive the first horizontal plate 1 to rise, which will drive the second support tube 1002 to rise along the first support tube 1001. The first horizontal plate 1 will also drive the mounting plate 13 to rise, which will drive the limiting plate 18 to rise, which will drive the limiting sleeve 19 to rise, which will drive the second horizontal plate 2 to rise. The rise of the first horizontal plate 1 and the second horizontal plate 2 will drive the round tube 3 to move along the round rod 4, thereby increasing the height of the fence and preventing sheep from jumping over the fence. After calming the flock, the staff can operate the PLC programmable controller 11 to reverse the output of the motor 14, which will lower the height of the fence.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
