Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of animal husbandry, and in particular to a railing-type restraint frame. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of large-scale and intensive development in animal husbandry, procedures such as animal disease prevention and artificial insemination place higher demands on animal restraint techniques. Traditional animal restraint devices mostly employ a single restraint method, such as binding with ropes or manually pressing to restrict animal movement. These methods have the following problems:

[0003] 1. Low operational efficiency: It relies on manual control of the animal's position, especially when handling multiple animals, which requires repeated adjustments to the fixed position, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] 2. Safety hazards: Manual operation is prone to causing injury to personnel or animals due to animal struggles, and it is difficult to accurately control the exposure angle of key parts (such as genitals and limbs), which affects the accuracy of epidemic prevention or insemination operations.

[0005] In existing technologies, some automated restraint equipment uses robotic arms or hydraulic lifting mechanisms to immobilize animals, but these methods suffer from complex structures, high costs, and difficult maintenance, making them unsuitable for widespread adoption in small and medium-sized farms. Furthermore, existing devices often focus on a single function (such as immobilization or lifting), lacking coordinated control over both "body position restriction" and "position adjustment." For example, disease prevention operations require stable restriction of the animal's torso (body position); artificial insemination requires precise control of the animal's hindquarters (body position) to expose key areas and ensure a high success rate.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that is simple in structure, highly adaptable, and capable of simultaneously limiting and adjusting the body position of multiple animals to meet the needs of efficient and safe livestock operations. Utility Model Content

A lifting mechanism is mounted between the two side railings and at a position away from the restraint railing.

[0010] The restraint rail includes two positioning rods fixed at intervals on the base plate. The tops of the two positioning rods are connected by a crossbar to form a restraint frame. The interior of the restraint frame is evenly divided into multiple restraint zones by multiple isolation rods. The crossbars have clearance grooves at the top positions of the restraint zones. A support frame is fixed to one side of the bottom of the restraint zone. Limiting rods that pass through the clearance grooves are hinged to the support frame. The ends of the multiple limiting rods away from the support frame are all hinged to control rods. A locking mechanism is provided between one of the control rods and the clearance groove.

[0011] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a pin, and the limiting rod has two first pin holes. The crossbar has second pin holes near both ends of the clearance groove. When the limiting rod is located at one end of the clearance groove, the pin can be detachably passed through the two first pin holes. When the limiting rod is located at the other end of the clearance groove, the pin can be detachably passed through the two second pin holes.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0027] This embodiment discloses a railing-type restraint frame, which facilitates disease prevention and artificial insemination of livestock. Specifically, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a base plate 1, a restraining railing 2 on one side of the base plate 1, and side railings 3 mounted on the sides of the base plate 1 near both sides of the restraining railing 2. A lifting mechanism 4 is mounted between the two side railings 3 and at a position away from the restraining railing 2. The structure of the restraining railing 2 is as follows: Figure 3-4 As shown, it includes two positioning rods 21 fixed at intervals on the base plate 1. The tops of the two positioning rods 21 are connected by a crossbar 22 to form a restraining frame. The interior of the restraining frame is evenly divided into multiple restraining areas 24 by multiple isolation rods 23. The crossbar 22 has a relief groove 25 at the top position of the restraining area 24. A support frame 26 is fixed to one side of the bottom of the restraining area 24. A limiting rod 27 that passes through the relief groove 25 is hinged on the support frame 26. The ends of multiple limiting rods 27 away from the support frame 26 are all hinged to control rods 28. A locking mechanism 5 is provided between one of the control rods 28 and the relief groove 25. When the limiting rod 27 moves in the relief groove 25, the size of the restraining area 24 changes.

[0028] Specifically, a feeding trough is placed outside the aforementioned bar-type restraint frame, near the restraint pen 2. Feed is added to the trough to lure animals into the bar-type restraint frame, with their heads passing through the restraint area 24 to eat. At this time, pulling the control lever 28 moves the limiting lever 27 within the clearance slot 25, reducing the space in the restraint area 24. A locking mechanism then fixes the position of the limiting lever 27, securing the animal's neck. Animals inside the bar-type restraint frame are placed close together in pairs; when their necks are secured, their position is restricted, facilitating disease prevention operations. Furthermore, during artificial insemination, the lifting mechanism 4 is controlled to lift the animal's hindquarters according to insemination needs, adjusting the animal's position and improving the efficiency of artificial insemination. Outside of disease prevention and insemination seasons, the aforementioned bar-type restraint frame can be used as a feeding pen, saving farms or farmers money.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3-4 As shown, the locking mechanism 5 includes a pin 51, two first pin holes 52 on the limiting rod 27, and second pin holes 53 on the crossbar 22 near both ends of the clearance groove 25. When the limiting rod 27 is located at one end of the clearance groove 25, the pin 51 can be detachably passed through the two first pin holes 52. When the limiting rod 27 is located at the other end of the clearance groove 25, the pin 51 can be detachably passed through the two second pin holes 53. In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 5 can be a latch, and the position of the limiting rod 27 in the clearance groove 25 is fixed by the latch.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiments, in order to ensure the overall structural strength of the above-mentioned railing-type restraint frame, further as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the positioning rod 21 of the Baoding railing 2 is connected to the adjacent side railing 3 by a reinforcing rod 6.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the base plate 1 includes a frame 11, and the retaining rail 2 and the side rail 3 are both fixed to the frame 11. A support plate 12 is fixed inside the frame 11, and the support plate 12 has multiple through holes to facilitate cleaning feces on the base plate 1. Preferably, the bottom of the frame 11 is provided with multiple support legs 13, and the support legs 13 are equipped with casters for easy handling and movement.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5-6As shown, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a lifting rod 41 arranged between two side rails 3, and a drive mechanism 42 for driving the lifting rod 41 to move up and down. The drive mechanism 42 is fixed to the base plate 1. In a preferred embodiment, the lifting rod 41 has a clearance hole near its end. The side rail 3 has multiple vertical rods 31, with the vertical rods 31 away from the guardrail 2 passing through the clearance hole. The drive mechanism 42 includes a housing 421, within which a threaded rod 422 is rotatably mounted, and a motor 423 drives the threaded rod 422 to rotate. The lifting rod 41 also has a threaded hole near its end, and the threaded rod 422 is screwed into the threaded hole. The lifting rod 41 can be raised or lowered by controlling the rotation direction of the threaded rod 422 via the motor 423. In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 42 can be a telescopic cylinder, which controls the raising or lowering of the lifting rod 41.

[0033] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
