The cover device 40 further includes a holding rod 42 and a distance sensor 43 disposed at one end of the holding rod 42, and the other end of the holding rod 42 is disposed at the cover 41, wherein the distance sensor 43 can acquire the distance between the pusher 100 and the cowstall for timely adjusting the distance between the pusher 100 and the cowstall when the distance between the pusher 100 and the cowstall is not appropriate. Preferably, the retaining rod 42 is rotatably mounted to the cover 41, so that the included angle between the retaining rod 42 and the cover 41 can be adjusted. For example, when the pusher 100 is in an operating state, the holding rod 42 can be driven to rotate relative to the cover 41 to make a large included angle between the holding rod 42 and the cover 41, so as to adjust the distance between the distance sensor 43 provided at the end of the holding rod 42 and the cowstall. More preferably, the holding rod 42 is a telescopic rod, that is, the length of the holding rod 42 can be adjusted, so that the distance between the distance sensor 43 and the cowstall can be conveniently and flexibly adjusted by adjusting the length of the holding rod 42 and the included angle between the holding rod 42 and the cover 41. More preferably, the cover 41 has a holding groove 411 for receiving the holding bar 42.

Further, the mounting post 115 of the carrying mechanism 11 is a tubular mounting post, i.e. the mounting post 115 has a communication channel 1151 for communicating the second receiving space 1102 of the carrying mechanism 11 with the space outside the upper carrying platform 114, wherein the electric wires connected to the distance sensor 43 can extend from the space outside the second carrying platform 114 to the second receiving space 1102 of the carrying mechanism 11 through the communication channel 1151 of the mounting post 115.

With continued reference to fig. 3A-8B, the pusher 100 further includes a charging port 50, wherein the charging port 50 is disposed on the cover 51 of the cover assembly 40 and is electrically connected to the power mechanism 12, such that the pusher 100 allows electrical energy to be replenished to the power mechanism through the charging port 50.

Referring to fig. 1 to 2B, the charger 200 includes a charging adapter 60 and a charging mechanism 70. The charging mechanism 70 has a connection end 71, a charging end 72 corresponding to the connection end 71, and a pair of charging electrodes 73 provided at the charging end 72, wherein the connection end 71 of the charging mechanism 70 is movably mounted to the charging adapter 60, and the charging mechanism 70 can be driven to bring the charging end 72 of the charging mechanism 70 closer to or farther from the charging adapter 60. Preferably, the connecting end 71 of the charging mechanism 70 is drivably mounted to the charging adapter 60 so that the charging adapter 60 can drive the charging mechanism 70 to bring the charging end 72 of the charging mechanism 70 closer to or farther from the charging adapter 60. For example, the charging adapter 60 may be internally provided with a driving motor and have a mounting passage through which the connecting end 71 of the charging mechanism 70 extends to the inside of the charging adapter 60 and is drivably mounted to the driving motor, wherein the driving motor is capable of driving the connecting end 71 of the charging mechanism 70 so that the relative positions of the charging mechanism 70 and the charging adapter 60 can be changed to bring the charging end 72 of the charging mechanism 70 close to or away from the charging adapter 60.

When the pusher 100 needs to be supplemented with electric energy, the charging adapter 60 of the charger 200 can drive the charging mechanism 70 to make the charging end 72 of the charging mechanism 70 far away from the charging adapter 60, so that the charging end 72 of the charging mechanism 70 is close to and plugged in the charging port 50 of the pusher 100, so that the charging electrode 73 of the charging mechanism 70 is electrically connected with the charging port 50, and thus the charging adapter 60 can supplement the electric energy to the power supply mechanism 12 of the pusher 100. After the pusher 100 is replenished with electric energy, the charging adapter 60 of the charger 200 can drive the charging mechanism 70 to make the charging end 72 of the charging mechanism 70 separate from the charging port 50 of the pusher 100 and close to the charging adapter 60.

Referring to fig. 9A and 9B, when the cow 1000 confined in the cowshed 2000 eats the food 4000 such as the forage by extending its head out of the cowshed 2000, the head of the cow 1000 may arch the food 4000 such as the forage to a position away from the cowshed 2000, and at this time, the cow 1000 may not eat the food 4000 such as the forage away from the cowshed 2000 due to the restriction of the cowshed 2000.

Referring to fig. 9C and 9D, the pusher 100 is used to push the food 4000 such as forage, which is far from the cowshed 2000, to a position close to the cowshed 2000 so that the cows 1000 confined to the cowshed 2000 eat it. Specifically, when the walking device 10 of the pusher 100 walks, the annular wall body 211 of the material dragging device 20 of the pusher 100 can be driven to rotate relative to the bearing mechanism 11 of the walking device 10, so that the annular wall body 211 can push the food 4000 such as forage far away from the cowshed 2000 to a position close to the cowshed 2000, so as to be eaten by the cows 1000 restrained on the cowshed 2000. In this process, the distance sensor 43 of the pusher 100 can detect the distance between the pusher 100 and the cowshed 2000 in real time to ensure that the food 4000 such as fodder is pushed to a position close to the cowshed 2000.

Referring to fig. 9E and 9F, when the pusher 100 needs to move from the position of one cowstall 2000 to the position of another cowstall 2000, the magnetic sensor 30 of the pusher 100 can cooperate with the magnetic navigation path 3000 to correctly guide the pusher 100 to move from the position of one cowstall 2000 to the position of another cowstall 2000.

In a preferred example of the material pushing method of the present invention, in the step (a), the route is preset, for example, a magnetic guide may be previously laid on the outer side of the cowshed 2000 to form the magnetic navigation path 3000, so that the preset route is provided by the magnetic navigation path 3000. In another preferred example of the material pushing method of the present invention, in the step (a), the route is planned in real time by detecting the distance between the pusher 100 and the cowshed 2000 in real time by the distance sensor 43 of the cover device 40.

In a preferred example of the pushing method of the present invention, in the step (b), when the walking device 10 walks along the route to push the food 4000 such as forage by the pusher 100, the friction force generated between the food 4000 such as forage and the annular wall main body 211 of the pushing wall 21 can drive the annular wall main body 211 to rotate relative to the bearing mechanism 11, so that the food 4000 such as forage is pushed by the pushing wall main body 211 in a manner of surrounding the bearing mechanism 11. In another preferred example of the pushing method of the present invention, in the step (b), the pushing driving motor 17 drives the annular wall body 211 of the pushing wall 21 to rotate relative to the supporting mechanism 11, so that the pushing wall body 211 pushes the food 4000 such as forage around the supporting mechanism 11.

Preferably, when the pushing driving motor 17 drives the annular wall main body 211 to rotate relative to the carrying mechanism 11 at the high end of the annular wall main body 211, at least two pulley mechanisms 23 disposed on the carrying mechanism 11 push the annular wall main body 211 at the inner side of the annular wall main body 211, so that the poor phenomena of eccentricity and movement when one side of the annular wall main body 211 is subjected to the pressure exerted by the food 4000 such as forage can be avoided, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the pusher 100.

Referring to fig. 10A and 10B, when the pusher 100 needs to be supplemented with electric energy, the pusher 100 can move along the magnetic navigation path 3000 to the position of the charger 200. Referring to fig. 10C and 10D, the charging adapter 60 of the charger 200 can drive the charging mechanism 70 to make the charging end 72 of the charging mechanism 70 gradually approach and be inserted into the charging port 50 of the pusher 100, so that the charging electrode 73 of the charging mechanism 70 is electrically connected with the charging port 50 to supply power to the power supply mechanism 12 of the pusher 100 through the charger 200. Referring to fig. 10E and 10F, after the charger 200 finishes charging the pusher 100, the charging adapter 60 of the charger 200 can drive the charging mechanism 70 to separate the charging end 72 of the charging mechanism 70 from the charging port 50 of the pusher 100, and make the charging end 72 of the charging mechanism 70 close to the charging adapter 60.
