Detailed Implementation
[0025] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Example:
[0027] Reference Figures 1-5An adjustable dairy cow pen includes a mounting base 1 and multiple railing assemblies mounted on the mounting base 1. The railing assemblies form multiple isolated zones, providing individual resting environments for dairy cows, improving the quality of rest for dairy cows, and increasing milk production. Adjacent railing assemblies are connected by a connecting rod group 6. Each railing assembly includes a support frame 2 and an adjustable carrier plate 4 mounted on the side of the support frame 2. Railings 5 are mounted on one side of the adjustable carrier plate 4. A first slider 10 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support frame 2. The top of the mounting base 1 is provided with a mounting groove for the sliding of the first slider 10. The first slider 10 is mounted in the mounting groove by screws, which facilitates quick adjustment of the distance between the railing assemblies according to the needs of the dairy cows.
[0028] The support frame 2 has a T-shaped sliding groove 7, and a limiting groove 8 is provided on the outer side of the sliding groove 7. A second slider 11 is installed on the side of the adjustable plate 4 facing the sliding groove 7. The second slider 11 slides in the limiting groove 8. A side groove 9 is provided on the outer side surface of the adjustable plate 4. Multiple screws are provided on the side groove 9. The adjustable plate 4 is fixed by the screws. The side groove 9 can prevent the screws from protruding too much and prevent damage to the cows when they collide during use. Insert pins 12 are fixedly installed on the top and bottom of the outer side of the adjustable plate 4. The insert pins 12 have screw holes. The two ends of the connecting rod assembly 6 are inserted into the insert pins 12 and fixed by bolts. Since the connecting rod assembly 6 is easily damaged by collisions during use, the insert pins 12 and bolts are used to fix the connecting rod assembly 6, which facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement and makes it more convenient to use.

At this time, the length of the connecting rod group 6 can be adjusted in advance, or it can be adjusted after connection. After completion, the first slider 10 is fixed to the mounting base 1 with screws.
[0032] 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.
