Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a sheep feeding positioning pen. Background Technology
[0002] Animal husbandry refers to the production sector that utilizes the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, through artificial breeding and raising, to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy, in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal materials.
[0003] Sheep are typically fed in fenced feeding pens. However, traditional fenced feeding pens have large gaps, making it difficult to effectively block lambs. Lambs can easily squeeze through the fence and freely enter and exit the feeding area. This not only disrupts the normal feeding order but also causes lambs to mix with adult sheep, potentially leading to them being trampled or driven away by adult sheep, affecting their safety. Therefore, we propose a sheep feeding positioning pen. Utility Model Content

[0016] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0017] Example 1 like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a sheep feeding positioning pen, including a pen body 1. A first horizontal bar 2 and a second horizontal bar 3 are fixedly connected inside the pen body 1. A third horizontal bar 5 is provided in front of the second horizontal bar 3. Multiple baffles 6 are fixedly screwed between the third horizontal bar 5 and the second horizontal bar 3. A toggle tube 7 is provided between the two baffles 6. A circular opening 14 is provided on the lower surface of the toggle tube 7. A bearing 9 is fixedly connected inside the circular opening 14. A circular column 10 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing 9. A square through groove 15 is provided inside the circular column 10. A square frame 11 is fixedly connected inside the square through groove 15. An insertion port 16 is provided on the top surface of the square frame 11. A square rod 12 is inserted into the square frame 11. A slot 17 is provided on the top surface of the square rod 12. One end of the square rod 12 is fixedly connected to the pen body 1. A positioning component 13 is provided above the insertion port 16.
[0018] Specifically, during use, the lamb uses its head to move the actuating tube 7, causing it to rotate between the two baffles 6 under the action of the bearing 9. This allows the lamb's head to extend into the baffle to feed, preventing it from bumping into the frame and escaping. When the actuating tube 7 needs to be disassembled and replaced, the positioning component 13 releases the restriction between the square frame 11 and the square rod 12. Pulling the actuating tube 7 forward allows the square frame 11 to slide off the surface of the square rod 12, enabling disassembly. During installation, the square frame 11 is inserted into the surface of the square rod 12, and the positioning component 13 re-locks the square frame 11 and square rod 12, completing the installation of the actuating tube 7.
[0019] In this embodiment, the positioning component 13 includes a limiting frame 1302 fixedly connected to the top surface of the square frame 11. An insert plate 1305 is provided inside the limiting frame 1302. The insert plate 1305 is inserted into the inner wall of the insertion port 16 and the slot 17. Two pull rods 1303 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the insert plate 1305. The pull rods 1303 pass through the top of the limiting frame 1302 and are slidably connected to the through part. A pull ring 1301 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the pull rod 1303. A spring 1304 is sleeved on the surface of the pull rod 1303. The two ends of the spring 1304 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the insert plate 1305 and the inner top surface of the limiting frame 1302, respectively.
[0020] Specifically, by pulling the pull ring 1301, the pull ring 1301, under the action of the pull rod 1303, drives the insert plate 1305 to rise, separating the insert plate 1305 from the socket 16 and the slot 17. This releases the limiting position between the square frame 11 and the square rod 12, allowing the actuating tube 7 to be disassembled. During installation, by pulling the pull ring 1301 as described above, the spring 1304 is compressed. Then, the square frame 11 is inserted into the outer surface of the square rod 12. After releasing the pull ring 1301, the spring 1304's restoring force allows the insert plate 1305 to be inserted into the slot 17 through the socket 16, thus limiting the connection between the square frame 11 and the square rod 12, thereby completing the installation of the actuating tube 7. This method is quite convenient.
[0021] In this embodiment, two inclined railings 8 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the interior of the railing 1, and a connecting post 4 is fixedly connected between the first horizontal bar 2 and the second horizontal bar 3.
[0022] Specifically, the inclined railing 8 can prevent lambs from running out from the inside sides of the pen 1.
[0023] The specific working principle and usage method of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a sheep feeding positioning pen, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, when in use, the lamb uses its head to move the actuating tube 7, causing the actuating tube 7 to rotate between the two baffles 6 under the action of the bearing 9, so that the lamb's head can be inserted to eat the feed, preventing the lamb from bumping into the frame and preventing the lamb from coming out. When the actuating fitting 7 needs to be disassembled and replaced, pulling the pull ring 1301 causes the pull ring 1301 to lift the insert plate 1305 under the action of the pull rod 1303, separating the insert plate 1305 from the socket 16 and slot 17. This releases the restriction between the square frame 11 and the square rod 12, allowing the actuating fitting 7 to be pulled forward to separate the square frame 11 from the square rod 12, thus completing the disassembly of the actuating fitting 7. During installation, pulling the pull ring 1301 as described above compresses the spring 1304. Then, the square frame 11 is inserted into the outer surface of the square rod 12. Releasing the pull ring 1301 allows the insert plate 1305 to be inserted into the slot 17 through the socket 16 under the restoring force of the spring 1304, thus limiting the connection between the square frame 11 and the square rod 12, thereby completing the installation of the actuating fitting 7. This is relatively convenient and can be completed without the use of tools.
