Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry, and in particular to a mobile cattle restraint pen. Background Technology
[0002] Cattle restraint pens are key facilities in beef cattle farming. Their core function is to restrain the movement of cattle during various operations such as vaccination, mating, calving, physical examination, hoof trimming, and castration. This protects farmers from injuries caused by cattle bumping or kicking, and also prevents cattle from making mistakes (such as broken needles or accidental injuries during hoof trimming) or injuring themselves due to their struggles. At the same time, it can fix the posture of cattle, improve the efficiency and accuracy of various operations, and reduce stress-related injuries to cattle, thus balancing farming safety and operational efficiency.
[0003] Traditional cattle restraint pens have a non-adjustable width, making them difficult to flexibly adapt to cattle of different ages. The excessively wide space allows calves to move around freely in the pen, affecting operational stability and potentially causing injury due to collisions with the pen. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a mobile cattle restraint pen that solves the problem of the non-adjustable width of traditional cattle restraint pens.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mobile cattle restraint pen, comprising a base plate, two grooves on the upper surface of the base plate, a threaded rod rotatably connected inside each groove, a connecting post threadedly connected to the outer surface of each threaded rod, two fixing plates connected to the outer surface of the base plate, a motor mounted on the outer surface of each fixing plate, the output end of each motor connected to the front end of the threaded rod, four support columns connected to the upper surface of the base plate, the ends of the four support columns away from the base plate being connected to a top plate, two sliding grooves on the bottom surface of the top plate, a sliding block slidably connected inside each sliding groove, and the bottom surface of each sliding block connected to the top end of the connecting post.
[0006] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the outer surfaces of the two support columns are connected to two limiting plates, and the sides of the two limiting plates that are close to each other are connected to two extension blocks.
[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, two electric telescopic rods are connected to the sides of the two extension blocks that are close to each other, and a limit block is connected to the output end of each set of electric telescopic rods.
[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a protective door is hinged to the outer surface of one of the support columns, and a plurality of second railings are connected inside the protective door.
[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the protective door is provided with two sliding grooves inside, and a slider is slidably connected inside each sliding groove. The two sliders are connected to a movable rod at their close ends.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bottom surface of the base plate is connected to four connecting frames, and each connecting frame is rotatably connected to a roller.
[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bottom surface of the base plate is connected to two electric actuators, and the output end of each electric actuator is connected to a stop plate.
[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bottom surface of the base plate is connected to an inclined plate, the outer surface of one of the support columns is connected to a controller, the upper surface of each groove is connected to a rubber sheet, and multiple first railings are connected to the side of each group of connecting columns that are close to each other and the side of two support columns that are close to each other.
[0013] This utility model provides a mobile cattle restraint pen, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0014] This invention uses a motor to drive a threaded rod to rotate, which in turn moves the connecting column within a groove. Combined with the sliding block's movement within the top plate's sliding groove, the width between the two connecting columns can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate cattle of different ages and body sizes. This solves the problem of poor adaptability caused by the fixed width of traditional restraint pens, preventing the cattle from moving freely within the pen, ensuring operational stability, and reducing collision damage. Furthermore, the sliding block not only ensures smooth width adjustment by sliding smoothly with the connecting column but also provides effective support to the top of the connecting column, enhancing its structural stability during adjustment and use. This prevents tilting or swaying due to impacts from cattle, further improving the overall stability and safety of the restraint pen. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a mobile cattle restraint pen technical solution: it includes a base plate 1, and two grooves 2 are formed on the upper surface of the base plate 1. Each groove 2 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 3. The threaded rod 3 is the core transmission component for adjusting the width of the restraint pen. After the motor 6 is started, the output end will drive the threaded rod 3 to rotate in the groove 2. Since the connecting column 4 and the threaded rod 3 are threadedly connected, and the top of the connecting column 4 slides with the sliding groove 9 of the top plate 8 through the sliding block 10, the rotation of the threaded rod 3 can be converted into the translational movement of the connecting column 4 along the groove 2. Each threaded rod 3 has a connecting post 4 threadedly connected to its outer surface. The outer surface of the base plate 1 is connected to two fixing plates 5. Each fixing plate 5 has a motor 6 installed on its outer surface. The output end of each motor 6 is connected to the front end of the threaded rod 3. The upper surface of the base plate 1 is connected to four support posts 7. The ends of the four support posts 7 away from the base plate 1 are connected to a top plate 8. The bottom surface of the top plate 8 has two sliding grooves 9. Each sliding groove 9 has a sliding block 10 slidably connected inside. The bottom surface of each sliding block 10 is connected to the top end of the connecting post 4.
[0023] As shown in the figure, the outer surfaces of the two support columns 7 are connected to two limiting plates 12. The sides of the two limiting plates 12 that are close to each other are connected to two extension blocks 13. The extension blocks 13 extend the installation position, allowing the electric telescopic rod 14 and the connected limiting blocks 15 to be in a more suitable position to lock the bull's head, ensuring that the subsequent limiting blocks 15 accurately limit the bull's head.
[0024] As shown in the figure, two electric telescopic rods 14 are connected to the sides of the two extension blocks 13 that are close to each other, and the output end of each set of electric telescopic rods 14 is connected to a limit block 15.
[0025] As shown in the figure, a protective door 16 is hinged to the outer surface of one of the support columns 7, and multiple second railings 17 are connected inside the protective door 16.
[0026] As shown in the figure, the protective door 16 has two sliding grooves 18 inside, and each sliding groove 18 has a slider 19 slidably connected inside. The two sliders 19 are connected to a movable rod 20 at their close ends. The movable rod 20 mainly serves to protect and flexibly adapt to operational needs. When castration is required, the movable rod 20 can be removed by pushing the slider 19 along the sliding groove 18. At this time, a more open space will be formed at the corresponding position of the protective door 16, which is convenient for the breeding personnel to carry out related operations.
[0027] As shown in the figure, four connecting frames 21 are connected to the bottom surface of the base plate 1, and each connecting frame 21 has a roller 22 rotatably connected inside.
[0028] As shown in the figure, two electric push rods 23 are connected to the bottom surface of the base plate 1. Each electric push rod 23 has a stop plate 24 connected to its output end. The stop plate 24 is a key component for the stable parking of the device. With the help of the friction between the stop plate 24 and the ground, the rotation of the roller 22 can be effectively restricted, and the device can be prevented from shifting due to the struggle and collision of the cattle when restraining them, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the operation process.
[0029] As shown in the figure, the bottom surface of the base plate 1 is connected to the inclined plate 25, and the outer surface of one of the support columns 7 is connected to the controller 26. The upper surface of each groove 2 is connected to the rubber sheet 27. Multiple first railings 11 are connected to the side of each group of connecting columns 4 that are close to each other and the side of two support columns 7 that are close to each other. The rubber sheet 27 is connected to the upper surface of the groove 2. Because it is made of soft material, when the connecting column 4 moves along the groove 2 under the drive of the threaded rod 3, it will not obstruct the movement of the connecting column 4, which can ensure that the width adjustment process is smooth. At the same time, it covers the threaded rod 3 inside the groove 2, which can prevent grass, manure and other debris that may fall into the groove 2 during the breeding process from entering the interior of the groove 2, and prevent debris from adhering to the surface of the threaded rod 3 and affecting its rotation, thereby protecting the threaded rod 3.
[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the device is pushed to the designated location by the rollers 22 inside the connecting frame 21 on the bottom surface of the base plate 1. Then, the electric push rod 23 on the bottom surface of the base plate 1 is activated by the controller 26. The output end of the electric push rod 23 drives the stop plate 24 to move down until the stop plate 24 is in close contact with the ground. The friction force restricts the rotation of the rollers 22, thus completing the stable fixation of the device. During overall adjustment, the motor 6 on the outer surface of the fixing plate 5 is activated by the controller 26 on the outer surface of the support column 7. Then, the output end of the motor 6... The threaded rod 3 inside the groove 2 rotates. Since the connecting column 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 3, and the top of the connecting column 4 slides with the sliding groove 9 on the bottom surface of the top plate 8 through the sliding block 10, the rotation of the threaded rod 3 will drive the connecting column 4 to move along the groove 2, thereby adjusting the width between the connecting column 4 and the support column 7. When performing a limiting operation on the beef cattle, first open the protective door 16 hinged to the outer surface of the support column 7, and guide the beef cattle into the space enclosed by the bottom plate 1, support column 7, top plate 8 and connecting column 4 through the inclined plate 25 on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 1. Then close the protective door 16, start the electric telescopic rod 14, and then push the limiting block 15 out through the output end of the electric telescopic rod 14, which precisely locks into both sides of the cattle's head to achieve stable fixation of the cattle's head. If castration is required, push the slider 19 in the sliding groove 18 inside the protective door 16 to slide the movable rod 20 between the two sliders 19 out along the sliding groove 18 and remove it, providing convenient space for operation.
[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
