Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to a slaughtering restraint device that facilitates the fixing of sheep. Background Technology
[0002] Animal husbandry, as a key sector of agricultural production, occupies a pivotal position in the agricultural system. It mainly involves the careful artificial breeding and scientific propagation of livestock or specific wild animals to cleverly convert the energy contained in plants into animal energy. Its ultimate goal is to provide people with a rich variety of high-quality products such as meat, eggs, and milk. It is interdependent with and complements crop farming, together forming the two solid pillars of agriculture.
[0003] Currently, in the livestock slaughtering industry, the methods of securing sheep mainly rely on manual operation or simple mechanical securing devices. When operating manually, ropes are often used to tie the sheep's legs, but the securing effect is often unstable and consumes a lot of manpower. Simple mechanical securing devices also have many limitations in actual use and are difficult to meet the needs of efficient slaughtering. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a slaughtering and securing device that facilitates the fixing of sheep. This device is adjustable according to the size of the sheep, enabling precise positioning of the sheep's legs and neck. It offers advantages such as high flexibility and practicality, saving manpower, improving positioning effectiveness, and facilitating slaughtering operations, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a slaughtering and fixing device for facilitating the fixing of sheep, comprising a base plate, two tracks fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate, two T-shaped sliders slidably connected inside each track via T-shaped grooves, a base fixedly connected to the upper surface of each T-shaped slider, a lifting cylinder fixedly connected inside the base, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder, a translation cylinder fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate, a housing fixedly connected to the output end of the translation cylinder, a first lead screw rotatably connected inside the housing, two positioning blocks threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the first lead screw, a first positioning plate fixedly connected to the end of each positioning block away from the first lead screw, a side plate fixedly connected to the outer surface of each base, a second motor fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the side plate, a gear fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor, and a rack fixedly connected to the outer surface of each track, the gear meshing with the rack.
[0006] A slaughtering frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate. Two lifting plates are slidably connected to the inner wall of the slaughtering frame. A positioning groove is opened on the upper surface of each lifting plate. Two positioning cylinders are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slaughtering frame. A second positioning plate is provided at the output end of each positioning cylinder. A feeding trough is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting plate away from the track.
[0007] The above scheme facilitates the positioning and slaughtering of sheep. By setting up a track, a T-shaped slider, a second motor, gears, a rack, a base, a lifting cylinder, and a translation cylinder, the first positioning plate can be raised, lowered, and moved. When the first lead screw rotates, it drives the positioning block and the first positioning plate to move in opposite directions, which can automatically complete the positioning of the sheep leg. By setting up a lifting plate, a positioning groove, a feeding trough, a positioning cylinder, and a second positioning plate, the positioning of the sheep neck can be automatically completed.
[0008] Furthermore, a first motor is installed on one side of the housing, and the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to one end of the first lead screw.
[0009] The above solution provides rotational power to the first lead screw by installing a first motor on one side of the housing and fixing its output end to one end of the first lead screw. This achieves automated control of the rotation of the first lead screw, eliminating the need for manual operation to rotate it, thus saving manpower and improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.
[0010] Furthermore, the interior of the outer casing has limiting holes, and the outer surface of the positioning block is slidably connected to the outer casing through the limiting holes.
[0011] The above scheme effectively guides and limits the movement of the positioning block, ensuring that the positioning block maintains a straight line during movement without deviation or shaking. This improves the stability and accuracy of the positioning block's movement, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of the first positioning plate's fixation position on the lamb leg.
[0012] Furthermore, the first positioning plate, the positioning groove, and the second positioning plate are all arc-shaped structures, and the inner walls of the first positioning plate, the positioning groove, and the second positioning plate are all fixedly connected with protective pads made of silicone material.
[0013] With the above solution, the first positioning plate, the positioning groove, and the second positioning plate are all arc-shaped. This shape design fits the sheep's body contour better, can better wrap the sheep's body parts, provide more uniform and effective fixing force, and reduce the sheep's struggle and movement during slaughter. At the same time, the silicone protective pad can not only increase the friction with the sheep's body and improve the fixing effect, but also play a buffering role to prevent the sheep from being injured during the fixing process and protect the sheep's body integrity.
[0014] Furthermore, the slaughtering rack is internally rotatably connected to a second lead screw, and the outer circumferential surface of the second lead screw is threadedly connected to a threaded tube. The outer circumferential surface of the threaded tube is fixedly connected to two connecting plates, and the ends of the connecting plates away from the threaded tube are respectively fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting plate.
[0015] The above scheme allows for the rotation of the second lead screw, which in turn moves the threaded tube up and down, thereby raising and lowering the lifting plate. This enables the adjustment of the lifting plate's height to accommodate sheep of different sizes and facilitate fixed operations.
[0016] Furthermore, the first lead screw is a bidirectional threaded rod, and the second lead screw is a unidirectional threaded rod.
[0017] Through the above scheme, the first lead screw of the bidirectional thread structure can drive the positioning block and the first positioning plate to move and retract, thereby completing the positioning operation of the lamb leg. The second lead screw of the unidirectional thread structure can drive the threaded tube to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the lifting plate and the positioning groove.
[0018] Furthermore, a pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the output end of each positioning cylinder, the bottom of the pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the top of the second positioning plate, and a controller is provided at the top of the slaughtering rack.
[0019] Through the above scheme, the pressure sensor can monitor the pressure applied to the sheep by the second positioning plate in real time and transmit the data to the controller. When the pressure reaches the set value, the controller can control the positioning cylinder to stop moving to avoid excessive pressure from harming the sheep. At the same time, it can also ensure that the sheep is fixed securely enough, achieving precise control of the fixing pressure and improving the fixing effect and safety.
[0020] Furthermore, the slaughtering rack has two guide holes inside, and two guide plates are fixedly connected to the outer surface of each lifting plate. The guide plates are slidably connected to the slaughtering rack through the guide holes.
[0021] The above solution provides guidance for the lifting of the platform, ensuring that the platform remains vertical during lifting without tilting or swaying, thus improving the stability and accuracy of the platform's movement.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects: This slaughtering and securing device for sheep facilitates the positioning of sheep. It incorporates a track, T-shaped slider, second motor, gears, rack, base, lifting cylinder, and translation cylinder. This allows for the lifting and adjustment of the first positioning plate. Rotation of the first lead screw moves the positioning block and the first positioning plate in opposite directions, automatically positioning the sheep's legs. The device also includes a lifting plate, positioning groove, feeding trough, positioning cylinder, and second positioning plate, enabling automatic positioning of the sheep's neck. A second lead screw, threaded pipe, and connecting plate further allow for the adjustment of the lifting plate. The entire device can be adjusted according to the size of the sheep, effectively positioning the legs and neck. It offers high flexibility and practicality, saves manpower, improves positioning efficiency, and facilitates slaughtering operations. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This embodiment provides a slaughtering and securing device for sheep, comprising a base plate 1. Two tracks 2 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. Each track 2 has two T-shaped sliders 3 slidably connected via T-shaped grooves inside. A base 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each T-shaped slider 3. A lifting cylinder 5 is fixedly connected inside the base 4. A fixing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 5. A translation cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate 6. A housing 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the translation cylinder 7. A first lead screw 9 is rotatably connected inside the housing 8. Two positioning blocks 10 are threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the first lead screw 9. A first positioning plate 11 is fixedly connected to the end of each positioning block 10 furthest from the first lead screw 9. A side plate 22 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each base 4. A second motor 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the side plate 22. A gear 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 23. A rack 25 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each track 2, and the gear 24 meshes with the rack 25.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A slaughtering rack 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. Two lifting plates 14 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the slaughtering rack 13. Each lifting plate 14 has a positioning groove 15 on its upper surface. Two positioning cylinders 16 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slaughtering rack 13. Each positioning cylinder 16 has a second positioning plate 17 at its output end. A feeding trough 18 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting plate 14 away from the track 2.
[0028] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 A first motor 12 is installed on one side of the outer casing 8. The output end of the first motor 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the first lead screw 9. By installing the first motor 12 on one side of the outer casing 8 and fixing its output end to one end of the first lead screw 9, rotational power is provided to the first lead screw 9, and the automatic control of the rotation of the first lead screw 9 is realized. There is no need for manual operation to rotate the first lead screw 9, which saves manpower and improves the convenience and efficiency of operation.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The outer shell 8 has a limiting hole 26 inside. The outer surface of the positioning block 10 is slidably connected to the outer shell 8 through the limiting hole 26. This provides good guidance and limiting for the movement of the positioning block 10, ensuring that the positioning block 10 maintains linear movement during movement without deviation or shaking. This improves the stability and accuracy of the movement of the positioning block 10, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the first positioning plate 11 in fixing the lamb leg.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first positioning plate 11, the positioning groove 15, and the second positioning plate 17 are all arc-shaped. The inner walls of the first positioning plate 11, the positioning groove 15, and the second positioning plate 17 are all fixedly connected with silicone protective pads. The arc-shaped design of the first positioning plate 11, the positioning groove 15, and the second positioning plate 17 is more in line with the body contour of the sheep, can better wrap the body parts of the sheep, provide more uniform and effective fixing force, and reduce the sheep's struggle and movement during the slaughter process. At the same time, the silicone protective pads can not only increase the friction with the sheep's body and improve the fixing effect, but also play a cushioning role to prevent the sheep from being injured during the fixing process and protect the sheep's body integrity.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The slaughter rack 13 is internally connected to a second lead screw 19, and the outer circumferential surface of the second lead screw 19 is threadedly connected to a threaded tube 20. The outer circumferential surface of the threaded tube 20 is fixedly connected to two connecting plates 21. The ends of the connecting plates 21 away from the threaded tube 20 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting plate 14. By rotating the second lead screw 19, the threaded tube 20 can be moved up and down, thereby driving the lifting plate 14 to rise and fall, realizing the adjustment of the height of the lifting plate 14 to accommodate sheep of different sizes and facilitate fixed operations.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first lead screw 9 is a bidirectional threaded rod, and the second lead screw 19 is a unidirectional threaded rod. The bidirectional threaded first lead screw 9 can drive the positioning block 10 and the first positioning plate 11 to move and retract, thereby completing the positioning operation of the lamb leg. The unidirectional threaded second lead screw 19 can drive the threaded tube 20 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the lifting plate 14 and the positioning groove 15.
[0033] Please see Figure 4 Each positioning cylinder 16 has a pressure sensor 27 fixedly connected to its output end. The bottom of the pressure sensor 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the second positioning plate 17. The top of the slaughter rack 13 is equipped with a controller 28. The pressure sensor 27 can monitor the pressure applied to the sheep by the second positioning plate 17 in real time and transmit the data to the controller 28. When the pressure reaches the set value, the controller 28 can control the positioning cylinder 16 to stop moving to avoid excessive pressure from harming the sheep. At the same time, it can also ensure that the sheep is fixed securely enough, thus achieving precise control of the fixing pressure and improving the fixing effect and safety.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The slaughter rack 13 has two guide holes 29 inside. Each lifting plate 14 has two guide plates 30 fixedly connected to its outer surface. The guide plates 30 are slidably connected to the slaughter rack 13 through the guide holes 29, providing guidance for the lifting of the lifting plate 14 and ensuring that the lifting plate 14 maintains vertical movement during the lifting process without tilting or shaking, thus improving the stability and accuracy of the movement of the lifting plate 14.
[0035] This embodiment provides a slaughtering and securing device for sheep. By incorporating a track 2, a T-shaped slider 3, a second motor 23, a gear 24, a rack 25, a base 4, a lifting cylinder 5, and a translation cylinder 7, the device can adjust the lifting and movement of the first positioning plate 11. The rotation of the first lead screw 9 causes the positioning block 10 and the first positioning plate 11 to move in opposite directions, automatically positioning the sheep's legs. The lifting plate 14, positioning groove 15, feeding trough 18, positioning cylinder 16, and second positioning plate 17 automatically position the sheep's neck. The second lead screw 19, threaded pipe 20, and connecting plate 21 allow for the adjustment of the lifting plate 14. The entire device can be adjusted according to the size of the sheep to position the legs and neck, offering high flexibility and practicality, saving manpower, improving positioning efficiency, and facilitating slaughtering operations.
[0036] It should be noted that a handwheel is provided at the bottom of the second lead screw 19, which facilitates the rotation of the second lead screw 19 via the handwheel.
[0037] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows: During slaughtering, food is placed into the feeding trough 18, and the sheep is driven onto the base plate 1, with its head extended over the slaughter frame 13 to eat. While eating, the sheep's neck is restricted by two lifting plates 14, lying flat in the positioning slot 15. The second motor 23 drives the gear 24 to rotate, which meshes with the rack 25, thus moving the base 4. Combined with the lifting cylinder 5 and the translation cylinder 7, the first positioning plate 11 is adjusted in height and horizontal movement, moving it to both sides of the sheep's legs. Finally, the first motor 12 drives the first lead screw 9 to rotate, moving the two positioning blocks 10 and the... A positioning plate 11 moves in the opposite direction to clamp the sheep leg, automatically completing the positioning operation of the sheep leg. After the sheep leg is positioned, the positioning cylinder 16 drives the second positioning plate 17 to descend, which works with the positioning groove 15 on the lifting plate 14 to complete the positioning operation of the sheep neck. At this time, both the sheep leg and the sheep neck are fixed, and the staff can carry out the subsequent slaughtering operation. The second lead screw 19 can be rotated by turning the handwheel, which drives the threaded tube 20 to move up and down, and then drives the lifting plate 14 to rise and fall through the connecting plate 21. The height of the lifting plate 14 and the positioning groove 15 can be adjusted to fit the sheep's body shape, so that both the sheep leg and the sheep neck can be accurately fixed.
