[0020] like Figures 1-4The sheep abnormal behavior inspection device shown includes a grid-shaped track 1, a walking frame 2, and an inspection unit 3. The track 1 is a vertically intersecting grid and is installed inside the sheepfold. The walking frame 2 moves within the track 1, and the inspection unit 3 is installed at the bottom of the walking frame 2.

[0021] The walking frame 2 includes a sliding part 201 and a walking part 202. The track 1 is provided with a recessed sliding groove 101 below it. The sliding part 201 slides in the sliding groove 101 below the track 1. The walking part 202 is connected to the lower part of the sliding part 201 and drives the sliding part 201 to move in the sliding groove 101 below the track 1.

[0022] Furthermore, the sliding part 201 includes a square sliding seat 2011 and a square cone-shaped boss 2012 located below the sliding seat 2011. The sliding groove 101 is a square groove, and two left-right symmetrical limiting plates 102 are provided in the middle of the sliding groove 101. The limiting plates 102 support the boss 2012 of the sliding part 201. The walking part 202 includes an electric walking wheel 2021, which drives the sliding seat 2011 to move within the sliding groove 101.

[0023] Furthermore, the sliding grooves 101 within track 1 intersect each other at the cross intersection of track 1.

[0024] The top of the sliding groove 101 is provided with a horizontal groove 103 with a width greater than the diagonal length of the sliding seat 2011. The top of the sliding seat 2011 is provided with a horizontal plate 2013 corresponding to the horizontal groove 103. The slope surface of the boss 2012 is provided with embedded ball bearings 4. The bottom of the horizontal plate 2013 is also provided with embedded ball bearings 4. The corresponding limiting plate 102 and the bottom surface of the horizontal groove 103 are respectively provided with ball bearing grooves 5 corresponding to the aforementioned ball bearings 4.

[0025] The walking unit 202 also includes a base 2022, which is a square columnar structure. The inspection unit 3 is installed at the bottom of the base 2022. The four sides of the base 2022 correspond to the horizontal and vertical tracks, respectively. The four sides of the base 2022 are provided with four sets of electric walking wheels 2021. The top and bottom of each side of the base 2022 are provided with hinge seats 2023. A connecting plate 2024 is hinged in the top hinge seat 2023. The electric walking wheels 2021 are located at the ends of the connecting plate 2024. An electric push rod 2025 is provided between the bottom end of the connecting plate 2024 and the bottom hinge seat 2023.

[0026] Furthermore, each set of electric walking wheels 2021 has two, which are respectively located on both sides of the connecting plate 2024, and the two electric walking wheels 2021 corresponding to each set of electric walking wheels 2021 are vertically aligned with the bottom surface of the limiting plate 102 in the sliding groove 101.

[0027] The installation method of this device is as follows: the track is laid on the top of the sheepfold, and then the walking frame is installed inside the track, so that the horizontal plate corresponds to the horizontal groove set at the top of the sliding groove in the track, and the boss corresponds to the limiting plate in the sliding groove. At this time, the embedded ball bearings under the horizontal plate and on the boss correspond to the ball bearing grooves in the horizontal groove and the limiting plate. The electric walking wheels on the walking part correspond to the track. The four sets of electric walking wheels are paired up, corresponding to the horizontal and vertical tracks respectively. When moving horizontally, the electric push rod pushes the horizontal electric walking wheel into the sliding groove so that it contacts the bottom surface of the limiting plate. At the same time, it drives the vertical electric walking wheel downward to disengage from the bottom surface of the track. Then, the corresponding electric walking wheel is started to move. The operation is the same when moving vertically.

[0028] The traveling frame moves on the track. When it reaches the intersection of the track and the track, it turns by changing the electric traveling wheels. The purpose of setting up the sliding seat and the cross plate is that if the sliding seat is set alone, it is easy for the sliding seat to shake at the intersection point, which will affect its operation. The cross plate is set up on the basis of the sliding seat. The overall size of the cross plate is larger than the size of the sliding seat. When passing through the intersection point, the cross plate can limit the transition and avoid the sliding seat from bumping into the sliding groove and the limiting plate during the process.
