Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a transport vehicle, and more particularly to a calf transport vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In modern ranches, newborn calves need to be frequently transferred from the calving pen to the nursery or quarantine area. Traditional transfer methods often involve manual carrying or herding. The former is labor-intensive and poses safety risks to both humans and animals, while the latter can easily cause stress to timid calves, affecting their healthy growth. Some existing ordinary animal transport vehicles are not specifically designed for calves and lack necessary collision protection, cushioning, and structures that facilitate the loading and unloading of calves, making them prone to bumps, fright, and even injuries during transfer. Therefore, there is an urgent need for specialized transfer equipment that can provide a safe and comfortable environment and enable fast and smooth loading and unloading of calves.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a calf transport vehicle includes a trailer frame 1, a cargo box 2, anti-collision tires 3, a grid plate 4, a locking device 5, a hinge shaft 6, a telescopic cylinder 7, a door panel 8, a rotating plate 9, an anti-collision tire 10, and a fastening shaft 11. The cargo box 2 is mounted on the trailer frame 1, and the anti-collision tires 3 are mounted on the inner side plate and the front side plate of the cargo box 2. Rotating plates 9 are provided on the top two side walls of the door panel 8, and are rotatably mounted on the top of the cargo box 2. Specifically, a rotating shaft is provided on the top of the cargo box 2, and the rotating plates 9 rotate around the rotating shaft. A telescopic cylinder 7 is rotatably mounted on the outer rear end of the cargo box 2. The telescopic cylinder 7 extends... The retractable rod is hinged to the hinge shaft 6 on the side wall of the door panel 8. The bottom of the door panel 8 is also locked to the carriage 2 by the locking device 5. When the door panel 8 is unlocked from the carriage 2, the extension of the telescopic cylinder 7 allows the door panel 8 to rotate around the rotating shaft, thereby opening the door panel 8. When the telescopic cylinder 7 is retracted, the door panel 8 can close the rear of the carriage 2, and then be locked by the locking device 5 to ensure the reliability of the closure of the door panel 8 and the carriage 2. When the door panel 8 is open, calves can be orderly sent into or out of the carriage 2. In this embodiment, when calves get on and off the vehicle, there is an inclined wedge platform, and the calves enter the carriage 2 through the wedge platform.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, at least two boxes are installed inside the carriage 2. At least two anti-collision tires 3 are installed on the left and right inner side walls of the boxes, and anti-front collision tires 10 are installed on the front side wall of the boxes. The anti-collision tires 3 can prevent calves from being injured by the carriage 2. Moreover, when calves collide with the carriage 2, the anti-collision tires 3 can also play a buffering role, thereby ensuring the service life of the carriage 2. Furthermore, the anti-collision tires 3 can be scrapped car tires, which have a certain structural strength, a buffering effect, and are relatively inexpensive.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the side panel of the carriage 2 is made of grid plate 4, and the anti-collision tire 3 is installed inside the grid plate 4. The grid plate 4 has several grids, which have a ventilation function, thereby ensuring ventilation inside the carriage 2. Moreover, the standing status of the calf can be directly observed through the grid plate 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the locking device 5 includes a rotating plate 51, a first shaft 53, a central shaft 54, a hinge plate 55, and a locking cylinder 56. There are two rotating plates 51, arranged opposite each other. A shaft hole 52 is provided in the middle of each rotating plate 51. A shaft matching the shaft hole 52 is provided on the outer rear wall of the carriage 2. A locking groove 58 is provided on the inner side of the rotating plate 51 away from the carriage 2. A fastening shaft 11 matching the locking groove 58 is provided on the outer wall of the door panel 8. A rotatable first shaft 53 is installed at the other end of the rotating plate 51. Both ends of the first shaft 53 are hinged to hinge plates 55. A hinge hole is provided at the other end of the hinge plate 55. The central shaft 54 ​​passes through the hinge plate 55. Inside the connection hole, the cylinder body of the locking cylinder 56 is installed on the outer side wall of the carriage 2, and the telescopic shaft of the locking cylinder 56 is hinged to the central shaft 54. When the locking cylinder 56 extends, it pushes the central shaft 54 ​​to move axially. At this time, the rotating plate 51 rotates around the shaft, thereby causing the locking groove 58 to open, thereby releasing the fastening shaft 11 that is stuck in the locking groove 58. The door panel 8 opens under the action of the telescopic cylinder. When the locking cylinder 56 retracts, it pulls the central shaft 54 ​​to move. At this time, the rotating plate 51 rotates around the shaft, thereby causing the locking groove 58 to move towards each other, thereby clamping the fastening shaft 11 and realizing the locking of the door panel 8 and the carriage.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a fork 57 is provided on the cylinder body of the locking cylinder 56, and an installation block is provided on the outer side wall of the carriage 2. The fork 57 and the installation block are installed by locking bolts, thereby realizing the installation of the locking cylinder 56 and the carriage 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, a rubber buffer layer is also laid at the bottom of the compartment 2. The rubber buffer layer can play a buffering role, and the calf's excrement falls directly onto the rubber buffer layer. After the calf is transported, the rubber buffer layer can be removed and cleaned.

[0031] The working process of this utility model is as follows: During the transportation of the calf, the door panel 8 is in the vertical closed position, sealing the rear opening of the carriage 2. At this time, the piston rod of the locking cylinder 56 is in the retracted state, and through its hinge point with the central shaft 54, it forcefully pulls the central shaft 54. The central shaft 54 ​​drives the two hinge plates 55 connected to it to move, and the hinge plates 55 in turn pull the first shaft 53 hinged to them, forcing the two rotating plates 51 to rotate outward (away from the center line of the carriage 2) with the shaft as the center. During the rotation, the locking groove 58 on the inner side of the front end of the rotating plate 51 firmly locks and presses the fastening shaft 11 welded to both sides of the door panel 8, thereby realizing the mechanical self-locking of the bottom of the door panel 8, ensuring safety and reliability during transportation. When it is necessary to open the door panel 8, the hydraulic system is operated first to extend the piston rod of the locking cylinder 56. The piston rod pushes the central shaft 54 ​​forward, which in turn pushes the two hinge plates 55 to move. The hinge plates 55 then push the first shaft 53, causing the two rotating plates 51 to rotate inward (towards the centerline of the carriage 2) around the shaft. The locking groove 58 at the front end of the rotating plate 51 then disengages from the fastening shaft 11 on the door panel 8, releasing the constraint on the door panel 8 and completing the unlocking process.

[0032] After the locking device 5 is unlocked, the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 7 is slowly extended by operating the hydraulic system. The cylinder body of the telescopic cylinder 7 is hinged to the rear of the carriage 2, and its extended piston rod pushes the hinge shaft 6, which is hinged to the side wall of the door panel 8. Since the top of the door panel 8 is hinged to the top of the carriage 2 via the rotating plate 9, the door panel 8 rotates smoothly upward and backward around the top hinge point under the action of the bottom thrust, thereby opening the rear opening of the carriage 2.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
