Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of calf breeding, specifically relating to a calf breeding device for Wagyu cattle. Background Technology
[0002] In Wagyu cattle farming, the scientific feeding of calves is a key step in ensuring their healthy growth and cultivating high-quality Wagyu cattle. Currently, hanging milking buckets are widely used in Wagyu calf rearing due to their advantage of being able to feed multiple calves simultaneously and improving feeding efficiency.
[0003] Wagyu calves change size rapidly during their growth. To ensure they can suckle comfortably, the hanging height of the feeding bucket needs to be adjusted according to the calf's height. However, adjusting the hanging position of the feeding bucket usually requires reinstalling hooks at different heights on the fence and removing the previous hooks to prevent the calves from accidentally touching the hooks and getting scratched. This process is not only tedious, requiring farmers to spend a lot of time and energy installing and removing the hooks multiple times, but the frequent installation and removal of hooks can also damage the fence and shorten the lifespan of the equipment.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a feeding device for Wagyu calves that solves the problem of difficulty in adjusting the hanging height of the feeding bucket. Utility Model Content

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] This specific embodiment is a calf rearing device for Wagyu cattle breeding, and its structural schematic diagram is shown below. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device includes a base 1, a fixed frame 2 welded to the upper side of the base 1, and a feeding mechanism at both the inner and outer ends of the fixed frame 2. The feeding mechanism includes an adjusting block 301 connected to the outer end of the fixed frame 2. Limiting holes are opened at both the left and right ends inside the adjusting block 301, and the outer side of the fixed frame 2 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting holes. A first threaded rod 302 is welded to the middle position of the upper side of the adjusting block 301, and a support ring 303 is connected to the outer side of the first threaded rod 302. A through sliding hole is opened at the middle position inside the top of the fixed frame 2, and an internal thread is opened on the inner side of the support ring 303. The outer side of the first threaded rod 302 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the support ring 303, and the lower side of the support ring 303 abuts against the upper side of the fixed frame 2. The first threaded rod 302 slides along the inner side of the sliding hole, causing the lower adjusting block 301 to slide along the outer side of the fixed frame 2. Then, the support ring 303 rotates on the outer side of the first threaded rod 302, so that the support ring 303 moves to the upper side of the fixed frame 2, which can fix the position of the adjusting block 301 again, thus completing the height adjustment of the milk container 308 at the front end of the adjusting block 301.
[0029] The adjusting block 301 has a fixing plate 304 welded to the left and right ends on the front side. A second threaded rod 305 is welded to the upper side of the fixing plate 304. A pressure ring 306 is connected to the outer end of the second threaded rod 305. A milk container 308 is provided in front of the adjusting block 301. A connecting plate 307 is welded to the left and right ends on the rear side of the milk container 308. The connecting plate 307 has a through mounting hole. The pressure ring 306 has an internal thread. The outer side of the second threaded rod 305 is slidably connected to the inner side of the mounting hole. The outer side of the second threaded rod 305 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the pressure ring 306. The upper side of the fixing plate 304 abuts against the lower side of the connecting plate 307. The lower side of the pressure ring 306 abuts against the upper side of the connecting plate 307. Thus, after placing the connecting plate 307 at the rear end of the milk container 308 on the fixing plate 304, and with the second threaded rod 305 passing through the mounting hole inside the connecting plate 307, the pressure ring 306 is then threaded to the outside of the second threaded rod 305 until the lower side of the pressure ring 306 contacts the upper side of the connecting plate 307, the connecting plate 307 can be fixed between the fixing plate 304 and the pressure ring 306, thereby fixing the milk container 308 to the front end of the adjusting block 301.
[0030] In addition, a nipple 309 is installed at the front end of the milk container 308, and a lid 310 is connected to the upper end of the milk container 308. The rear side of the lid 310 is hinged to the upper outer rear end of the milk container 308, and the upper side of the milk container 308 abuts against the lower edge of the lid 310. Insulating cotton 5 is attached to the outer side of the milk container 308 and the upper side of the lid 310. Thus, after warm milk is poured into the milk container 308 and the lid 310 is rotated onto the milk container 308, the insulating cotton 5 at the outer end of the milk container 308 and the lid 310 will keep the milk in the milk container 308 warm.
[0031] Cooperate Figure 5As shown, a disassembly unit is provided at the lower front end of the milk container 308. The disassembly unit includes an inner connecting pipe 401 fixedly connected to the lower front end of the outer side of the milk container 308. An outer connecting pipe 402 is connected to the outer side of the inner connecting pipe 401. A retaining ring 403 is fixedly connected to the inner front end of the outer connecting pipe 402. A retaining ring 404 is fixedly connected to the outer rear end of the nipple 309. The outer side of the inner connecting pipe 401 has an external thread, and the inner side of the outer connecting pipe 402 has an internal thread. The outer side of the inner connecting pipe 401 and the inner side of the outer connecting pipe 402 are threaded together. A milk outlet is provided at the connection point between the front end of the milk container 308 and the inner connecting pipe 401. The inner side of the retaining ring 403 is slidably connected to the outer side of the nipple 309. The rear side of the retaining ring 404 abuts against the front side of the inner connecting pipe 401, and the rear side of the retaining ring 403 abuts against the front side of the retaining ring 404. Thus, after placing the retaining ring 404 at the rear end of the nipple 309 on the front side of the inner connecting tube 401, the outer connecting tube 402 is slid to the outside of the nipple 309 and then threaded to the outside of the inner connecting tube 401 until the rear side of the retaining ring 403 contacts the front side of the retaining ring 404, so that the retaining ring 404 can be fixed between the inner connecting tube 401 and the retaining ring 403, thereby fixing the nipple 309 to the lower front end of the milk container 308.
[0032] Working principle: When feeding calves, the first threaded rod 302 is pulled along the inner side of the sliding hole according to the appropriate drinking height of the calf, so that the adjusting block 301 moves and drives the milk container 308 to move until the nipple 309 moves to the appropriate feeding height. Then, the support ring 303 is rotated to the upper side of the fixing frame 2 to support and fix the first threaded rod 302. Then, the milk is poured into the milk container 308, and the lid 310 is rotated to the upper side of the milk container 308 to seal the upper end of the milk container 308. Then, the calf bites the nipple 309 to drink milk.
[0033] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
