Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of livestock farming tools, and in particular to electric fences for farms used in sheep farming. [Background technology]

[0002] The semi-fine wool sheep of Yunnan Province is the first new breed of coarse semi-fine wool sheep successfully cultivated in China, and is used for both meat and wool. It is mainly distributed in the high and cold areas of northeastern Yunnan Province. The breeding method is mainly natural grazing, supplemented by semi-free grazing. The semi-fine wool sheep of Yunnan Province are bred by crossbreeding the long-haired semi-fine wool sheep (Romney, Lincoln, etc.) of the paternal lineage with the local Zhaotong sheep of the maternal lineage, so they have the advantages of delicious meat and excellent wool, but they are relatively weak in adaptability and disease resistance, and are not suitable for grazing in irrigated forests, especially on steep slopes. On the other hand, the areas in northeastern Yunnan where Yunnan semi-fine sheep are raised are mostly covered with steep scrub forests. If the same grazing method as the local Zhaotong sheep is adopted, the stress response and disease incidence rate of the Yunnan semi-fine sheep will be much higher than that of the local Zhaotong sheep. Therefore, the area where the grazing Yunnan semi-fine sheep can be active needs to be enclosed, which is generally done by using fences.

[0003] At present, fences have become an indispensable and important equipment for ranches. Electric fences are a type of fence that can enclose livestock such as cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, deer and horses, enclose grasslands, and protect the grasslands by prohibiting grazing or rotating grazing on the grasslands. They can also enclose pastures, ranches, farms and forestry farms to simulate the destruction of wild animals, and enclose animals in zoos.

[0004] At present, the electric fences used in most aquaculture are relatively crude, and only support poles and electric wires are installed to enclose the playground and prevent animals from touching the electric fence by multiple high-voltage electric shocks. However, the fixing performance of this structure is not strong and it is easy to fall off, which causes cracks in the fence. Moreover, there is a lot of grass planted near the electric fence, and sheep have the habit of gnawing at grass roots. When sheep eat grass, they often touch the electric fence by mistake. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of farmers to enclose the activity area when farming semi-fine wool sheep and local sheep in Yunnan Province, an electric fence with good installation and fixing performance and prevention of mistaken contact is needed. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention provides an electric fence for farms used for raising sheep, which has the advantages of being easy to install, having good fixing performance and preventing accidental contact, and solves the problems of general electric fences, which have a simple structure, poor fixing capacity, and are prone to sheep touching the fence by mistake.

[0006] This electric fence is easy to install, has good fixing performance, and is designed to prevent accidental contact. The present invention proposes the following technical means, which is an electric fence for sheep farming, comprising a base plate, the width of the base plate being 80-120cm, a locking block fixed on one side of the base plate, a locking groove on the other side of the base plate, a screw hole and a mounting groove on the top of the base plate, a bolt movably installed on the inner wall of the screw hole, an auxiliary lever movably installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove, and a support pole fixed on the top of the auxiliary lever, A hanging ring is fixedly installed on the front of the outer wall of the support pole, an electric wire is movably installed on the inner wall of the hanging ring, a rubber cover is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the support pole, connecting members are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the rubber cover, and a partition plate is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting member.

[0007] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the locking block and the locking groove are engaged and connected, and the substrate is movably mounted on another substrate by the engagement connection.

[0008] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the bolt penetrates the top of the base plate and extends through the bottom of the base plate, and the screw hole and the locking groove are not associated with each other.

[0009] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shape and dimensions of the bottom of the auxiliary lever and the mounting groove match each other, and two auxiliary levers are fixed to each support column.

[0010] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, a support post and a rubber cover are respectively provided on the outer wall of the hanging ring, and the electric wire is movably attached to the support post by winding the hanging wire around the hanging wire.

[0011] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the partition plate is fixed to a support pole via a connecting member, and the partition plate is a wooden partition plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a small and simple TMR production line for sheep farms, with the following beneficial effects: 1. This electric fence has a relatively wide substrate (80-120 cm) that can push the ground away from the grass to prevent it from growing too close to the electric fence, reducing the chance of sheep accidentally touching the electric fence. 2. This electric fence is equipped with locking blocks and locking grooves to make it easier for people to install the electric fence. In addition, the locking rings are installed to prevent the electric wire from being displaced or falling off when winding the locks. The rubber covers are installed to prevent the supporting poles from being electrified, reducing the occurrence of unexpected incidents and enhancing protective safety capabilities. 3. This electric fence can fix the base to the ground by installing the bolt penetrations, which strengthens the fixing performance of the device; the auxiliary levers and mounting grooves, which have matching shapes and sizes, not only make it easier for people to install the electric fence, but also strengthen the fixing ability of the support poles, thereby enhancing their anti-collision ability and reducing the damage to the electric fence when sheep are moving; the partition board can strengthen the anti-collision ability of the electric fence, and the fixing and installation of the connecting members can make it easier for people to install and dismantle the electric fence.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Hereinafter, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention, but obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] 1-3, the present invention discloses an electric fence for sheep farming, comprising: a base plate 1, the width of the base plate 1 is 80-120cm, a locking block 2 is fixed on one side of the base plate 1, a locking groove 3 is formed on the other side of the base plate 1, a screw hole 4 and a mounting groove 5 are respectively formed on the top of the base plate 1, a bolt 6 is movably installed on the inner wall of the screw hole 4, an auxiliary lever 7 is movably installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 5, and a support pole 8 is fixed on the top of the auxiliary lever 7; A hanging ring 9 is fixedly installed on the front of the outer wall of the support pole 8, an electric wire 10 is movably installed on the inner wall of the hanging ring 9, a rubber cover 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the support pole 8, connecting members 12 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the rubber cover 11, and a partition plate 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting member 12.

[0016] Specifically, the locking block 2 and the locking groove 3 are engaged and connected, and the substrate 1 is movably provided on another substrate 1 by the engagement connection.

[0017] In this embodiment, the engaged and connected locking block 2 and locking groove 3 make the connection between the substrate 1 and the substrate 1 quick and efficient, making it easier for people to install the electric fence; and by using the substrate 1 to support the device, the stability of the support pole 8 can be maintained, and the ground close to the support pole 8 can be pressed, thereby preventing grass vegetation from growing near the electric fence, reducing the phenomenon of sheep miscontacting the electric fence, and protecting the safety of the sheep.

[0018] Specifically, the bottom of the bolt 6 penetrates the top of the base plate 1 and extends through the bottom of the base plate 1, and the screw hole 4 and the locking groove 3 are not associated with each other.

[0019] In this embodiment, the base plate 1 can be fixed to the ground by passing the bolt 6 through it, thereby enhancing the fixing performance of the device; and the locking groove 3 and the screw hole 4 are not correlated with each other, which ensures normal use of the device, thereby enhancing the fixing performance of the device and not affecting the installation of the electric fence.

[0020] Specifically, the shape and dimensions of the bottom of the auxiliary lever 7 and the shape and dimensions of the mounting groove 5 match each other, and two auxiliary levers 7 are fixed to each support pillar 8 .

[0021] In this embodiment, the auxiliary levers 7 and the mounting grooves 5, which are compatible in shape and size, not only make it easier to install the electric fence, but also strengthen the fixing ability of the support pole 8, thereby enhancing its anti-collision ability and reducing the degree of damage to the electric fence only when the sheep are moving; the two auxiliary levers 7 also increase the stability of the support pole 8, reducing the impact of the external environment on the electric fence.

[0022] Specifically, a support post 8 and a rubber cover 11 are respectively attached to the outer wall of the hanging ring 9, and the electric wire 10 is movably attached to the support post 8 by winding the hanging frame 9 therearound.
