Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically to an adjustable-height farrowing crate for sows. Background Technology

[0002] Farrowing crates are key equipment in large-scale pig farms for sows to give birth and nurse. Their performance directly affects the sow's production safety and the survival rate of piglets. Currently, most existing sow farrowing crates are fixed-height structures that cannot be adjusted according to actual needs, which has many shortcomings.

[0003] On the one hand, sows of different breeds and at different growth stages vary significantly in size, making fixed-height farrowing crates unsuitable. This can restrict sow movement and even cause injury during farrowing. On the other hand, piglets have different height requirements for farrowing crates at different growth stages. Crates that are too low hinder piglet movement, while crates that are too high make it difficult for piglets to climb into the nursing area. Furthermore, fixed-height farrowing crates are inconvenient to clean and disinfect. Farm workers need to bend over to clean the bottom of the crate, increasing labor intensity, and incomplete cleaning can easily breed bacteria, affecting the hygiene and safety of the farming environment. Therefore, we propose an adjustable-height farrowing crate for sows. Utility Model Content

[0030] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable-height sow farrowing crate, including a sow farrowing crate body 1. A perforated plate 10 is provided at the bottom of the sow farrowing crate body 1. Multiple solid plates 11 are integrally formed on the perforated plate 10. A vertically downward-oriented cylinder 2 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the solid plates 11. A support base 21 is detachably installed at the end of the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 2. Multiple vertically oriented vertical beams 3 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the perforated plate 10. A storage sleeve 31 is slidably connected to the vertical beam 3. The storage sleeve 31 is fixed to the vertical beam 3 by multiple fastening bolts 32. A roller 33 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the storage sleeve 31. The cylinder 2 can drive the farrowing crate body to rise and fall. The storage sleeve 31 and the vertical beam 3 cooperate to fix the height, realizing flexible adjustment of the farrowing crate height. The roller 33 facilitates movement, improving the applicability and convenience of the farrowing crate.

[0031] In this embodiment, a fixed plate 20 is fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 2, and the support base 21 is detachably installed on the bottom surface of the fixed plate 20, making the installation and removal of the support base 21 more convenient and facilitating its replacement or maintenance in the future.

[0032] like Figure 4As shown, an anti-slip layer 22 is provided on the bottom surface of the support base 21. The anti-slip layer 22 has an anti-slip stripe structure, which increases the friction between the support base 21 and the ground, making the delivery bed more stable and preventing it from sliding during use.

[0033] Specifically, the dimensions of the vertical beam 3 are matched with the dimensions of the storage sleeve 31. The lengths of both the storage sleeve 31 and the vertical beam 3 are between 20cm and 50cm, ensuring the smooth sliding of the vertical beam 3 within the storage sleeve 31 and providing a suitable range for adjusting the height of the delivery bed.

The detailed connection methods are all technologies known in the art.

[0039] When using the adjustable height farrowing crate of this utility model, push the main body 1 of the farrowing crate and move the farrowing crate to a suitable position by using the rollers 33 at the bottom of the storage sleeve 31. Open the door 15 of the air source box 14 to check whether the internal air source is normal and ensure that the cylinder 2 can work normally.

[0040] Adjust the height according to the needs of sows and piglets: Loosen the fastening bolts 32 to allow the vertical beam 3 to slide within the storage sleeve 31, and simultaneously start the cylinder 2 to drive the farrowing crate body to rise and fall. After adjusting to the appropriate height, pass the fastening bolts 32 through the corresponding bolt holes 30 on the storage sleeve 31 and the vertical beam 3, and fix them with nuts. Close the cylinder 2. The support base 21 is connected to the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 2 through the fixed plate 20, and its bottom anti-slip layer 22 enhances stability.

[0041] During use, the sow moves around in the main body 1 of the farrowing crate, and the feces fall through the mesh plate 10. The protective cover 12 and the protective cylinder 13 protect the cylinder 2. When it needs to be moved, the support base 21 is loosened so that the roller 33 touches the ground.
