Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically a foldable temporary fence for sheep breeding. Background Technology

[0002] In sheep farms, fencing is an essential infrastructure, primarily used to demarcate breeding areas, achieve group management, and isolate livestock. Currently, commonly used fixed fencing typically uses cement or metal stakes as permanent supports buried deep underground, upon which wire mesh or steel pipes are fixed, forming a permanent or semi-permanent barrier. However, in actual farming practices, there is often a need for temporary enclosure spaces, such as demarcating new pastures in wild terrain, temporary group management, guiding pathways to transport vehicles or new pens, and emergency isolation and observation of sick or weak sheep. In these application scenarios, fixed fencing reveals its inherent and insurmountable shortcomings: it is completely immovable, unable to be flexibly moved and redeployed as needed; construction costs are high and the construction period is long, requiring digging pits, pouring foundations, and extensive welding work, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; it lacks portability, cannot be stored after construction, and occupies land and space resources for a long time.

[0003] In view of this, we propose a foldable temporary fence for sheep farming. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable temporary fence for sheep farming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] A foldable temporary fence for sheep farming includes at least one fence and multiple positioning posts for fixing the fence. The fence includes at least two support frames, and the upper and lower ends of each support frame are rotatably connected to the upper and lower railings through hinged assembly units, thereby enabling the fence to be folded for storage and unfolded for use.

[0006] Preferably, the fence further includes a locking mechanism, which is disposed on the support frame at the starting position and is used to fix the relative position of the support frame and the railing when the fence is unfolded.

[0007] Preferably, the locking mechanism is a pin-type lock, wherein the pin-type lock and the upper railing are provided with pin holes through the pin hole at corresponding positions in the vertical direction, and a pin is provided through the pin hole and the pin-type lock.

[0008] Preferably, the pin is provided with a pin and a spring. The pin is used to fix the position of the spring after the pin is inserted into the pin hole, and the spring provides a preload to ensure that the pin remains fixed in the non-operating state.

[0009] Preferably, the first and second ends of the railing are provided with mutually cooperating embedded structures, and the embedded structures are provided with positioning holes for the positioning posts to pass through vertically. This structure is used for quick docking and fixing between multiple railing units.

[0010] Preferably, the hinge assembly unit is a pin connection structure, which realizes the hinged rotation function between the support frame and the railing.

[0011] Beneficial effects Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: It adopts a unique Z-shaped folding method, which allows the fence to be folded into a compact, flat shape, significantly reducing its storage volume compared to traditional fixed fences, achieving revolutionary portability and completely solving storage and transportation problems; at the same time, the operation is simple and intuitive, with unfolding, folding, and connecting all possible quickly, greatly improving work efficiency, allowing a single person to easily complete deployment and retrieval; through the modular structure of the fence, combined with positioning posts that can be driven into the ground using the terrain, the overall rigidity and stability of the fence during use are ensured, enabling it to withstand the crowding and butting of sheep.

[0015] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: A foldable temporary fence for sheep farming includes at least one fence 1 and multiple positioning posts 2 for fixing the fence 1. The fence 1 includes at least two support frames 11, and the upper and lower ends of each support frame 11 are rotatably connected to the upper and lower rails 13 through hinge assembly units 12. The fence 1 also includes a locking mechanism 14, which is disposed on the support frame 11 at the starting position. The locking mechanism 14 is a pin-type lock, and the pin-type lock and the upper rail 13 are provided with pin holes in the vertical direction corresponding to each other. A pin 15 is provided in the pin hole and the pin-type lock. The pin 15 is provided with a pin 151 and a spring 152. The pin 15 has an L-shaped structure. The first and second ends of the rails 13 are provided with mutually cooperating embedded structures 131. The embedded structures 131 have positioning holes for the positioning posts 2 to pass through in the vertical direction. The hinge assembly unit 12 is a pin connection structure.

[0018] It should be explained that the fence 1 is a core functional component, which includes two parallel railings 13, at least two support frames 11, multiple hinged assembly units 12, and a locking mechanism 14.

[0019] The supporting frame 11 is preferably a vertically arranged rod-shaped structure, and the number of such frames can be set according to the required unfolded length of the fence 1. Each supporting frame 11 has its upper and lower ends rotatably connected to the upper and lower railings 13 via a hinge assembly unit 12. In this embodiment, the hinge assembly unit 12 is preferably a pin connection structure, that is, a pin passes through a hole at the end of the supporting frame 11 and a connecting lug fixed to the railing 13, thereby achieving a hinge connection between the two, allowing the supporting frame 11 to rotate around the pin.

[0020] The locking mechanism 14 is mounted on the support frame 11 at one end (i.e., the beginning or end) of the fence 1. Specifically, the locking mechanism 14 is a pin-type latch. A pin hole is vertically provided on the latch body and at the position of the upper railing 13 corresponding to the support frame 11. A pin 15 passes through this pin hole, thereby fixing the relative position of the support frame 11 and the railing 13 at this end and preventing relative rotation. The pin 15 is equipped with a pin 151 and a spring 152. The pin 151 facilitates the user to pull and secure the pin 15, while the spring 152 provides preload, ensuring the pin 15 remains stable when not manually operated, preventing accidental dislodgement.

[0021] To further enhance the convenience and stability of the connection between multiple fences 1, interlocking embedded structures 131 are provided at the beginning and end of each individual fence post 13. These embedded structures 131 can be configured as male-female snap fasteners, for example, a protrusion (male head) at one end and a groove (female head) at the other end. Furthermore, a through hole is preferably provided at the embedded structure 131 as a positioning hole, the size of which matches the positioning post 2.

[0022] Multiple positioning posts 2 are used to fix the unfolded fence 1 to the ground. The lower end of the positioning post 2 is pointed to facilitate driving it into the ground. The positioning post 2 can be vertically inserted into the ground through the positioning hole on the embedded structure 131 at the end of the railing 13, thereby simultaneously achieving the docking and fixing of adjacent fences 1 and the positioning of the overall fence 1.

[0023] Understandably, in the unfolded state: the folded fence 1 is stretched out, and adjacent support frames 11 rotate around the hinge point through their respective connected hinge units 12, causing the entire fence 1 to move in a Z-shaped trajectory, resulting in a uniform distribution of spacing between the support frames 11. The locking mechanism 14 on the end support frame 11 is locked and fixed to the railing 13 by a pin 15. The positioning post 2 is passed through the positioning hole at the end of the railing 13 and hammered into the ground to reliably fix the fence 1. Multiple fences 1 can be connected by the embedded structure 131 at both ends and fixed by sharing the same positioning post 2.

[0024] Folding and storage: Pull out the pin 15 upwards to release the lock of the end support frame 11. Push the support frame 11 so that it rotates around the pin of the hinge group unit 12, and all the support frames 11 can be gathered to one end, thereby realizing the quick folding of the fence 1, which greatly reduces the storage volume and facilitates transportation and storage.

[0025] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
