RU2053657C1 - Cattle pen - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: cattle pen comprises a ground surrounded by sectional building members. The ground consists of two adjacent parts surrounded by free-standing three-dimensional blocks assembled on flat netted internal and external boards and frame-type transverse members interconnected by bush-and-spindle joints. Perimeters of enclosures are formed by circles with diameter of the first circle being twice larger than that of the second circle, and the enclosure is twice higher than the first one. EFFECT: improved design. 3 dwg

Description

 The invention relates to agricultural buildings collapsible type and can be used mainly in areas with little snow for acceptance, sorting, accumulation, as well as shelter of animals from bad weather.

 A fencing device for animals and birds is known, including load-bearing racks with a cable stretched between them, on which lattice or mesh enclosing elements are hung.

 The disadvantages of this device are the need for excavation work on the installation of load-bearing racks, the absence of elements for protecting animals from the weather, the possibility of injuring animals at the joints of the fence elements.

 Known corral for livestock (prototype), containing longitudinal and transverse walls, mounted on supporting racks and pivotally connected to each other.

 The disadvantages of this pen design are the same as the first. Both designs, solving the problems of unification of the industrial procurement of structural elements, ease of transportation, assembly and disassembly, are functionally limited and provide only acceptance, sorting, accumulation of animals, their summer keeping.

 The aim of the invention is the provision of winter conditions, eliminating the likelihood of injury to animals by elements of the fence, creating the necessary conditions for feeding, cleaning and sanitation.

 The goal is achieved by the fact that the proposed corral consists of two adjacent platforms, enclosed by volumetric collapsible blocks, assembled from flat lattice internal and external shields and frame transverse structures, interconnected by sleeve-rod hinges, and the forms of the parameters of the area fencing are circles, the diameter of the first platform is twice the diameter of the second, the fence of the second platform is twice as large as the first, and the inside of the blocks is filled with straw, hay or other similar local and materials.

 In FIG. 1 shows a proposed paddock in plan; in FIG. 2, section AA in FIG. 1; in FIG. 3 section BB in FIG. 1.

 On the perimeters of the planned sites 1 and 2, having the shape of circles, three-dimensional blocks 3 and 4 are installed. For the convenience of transportation, the blocks are assembled in place from planar elements, racks and struts.

 Block 3 fencing areas of large diameter is assembled from an internal trellis shield 5, an outer shield 6 and the transverse frames 7. On the frames 7, the rods are welded, and on the shields-bushings by which the shields are hung on the frames. Cross frames 7 are common to adjacent blocks. The extreme blocks, on which the gate leaves 8 are hung, are closed by end lattice shields 9.

 The fencing block of the smaller platform 2 has a height twice that of block 3. Therefore, instead of the transverse frames 7, the block contains an angular strut 10 with a brace, an external strut 11 and a strut 12. All three articulated connecting elements form a transverse structure on which two are hung internal and two external lattice boards. Circular arrangement of blocks solves two problems. The first task is to reduce the consumption of structural materials for fencing sites. The length of the perimeter of the fence with such a shape is the smallest and this solution meets the widespread experience in practice (Mongolian yurt, Chinese fanza, northern plague, etc.).

 The second task, which the perimeter shape in this case also solves, is to ensure animal safety, eliminating the possibility of injury by fencing elements.

 Fencing panels contain perforated profiles with a thickness of 1.5-3 mm. Sharp edges and technological burrs on them are difficult to avoid. When assembling the shields in a plane, they can cause injury, since it is not possible to ideally combine them in the field.

 When the shields are arranged in a circle, each vertical edge of the shield appears at the top of the obtuse angle formed by adjacent shields, and thus all the "sharp" elements are in the depths of this corner, becoming practically inaccessible to contact. The internal volume of the blocks is filled after installation with straw, hay and other local materials. A block filled with such rammed material becomes less permeable to wind exposure and serves as sufficient protection for animals from wind, snowstorm, etc. Blocks on the leeward side of the fence can be allocated specifically for feeding and, as roughage is eaten by animals, they should be replenished with hay and other feeds. The lattice structure of the inner shield and a sufficient size between the elements of the crate allow the animal to get food at almost any height of the fence.

 The main purpose of the area 2 of smaller diameter with higher walls of the fence is to protect animals from severe frosts. When there is a threat of a sharp cooling, the whole herd is driven to platform 2. The density of animals sharply increases due to the high fence above the animals, a relatively warm cloud is created that creates a greenhouse effect, as a result of which the animal’s breathing zone does not cool down and the animals easily tolerate a decrease in temperature. Site 2 can be used as a shelter in strong winds, when the low wall of site 1 does not protect against swirling air currents and gusts of wind.

 The presence of two platforms separated by a gate facilitates the cleaning and sanitization of the corral. To clean the site 2 with, for example, a bulldozer, snow blower, etc. the herd is driven to Site 1. When harvesting this site, the herd is either driven into the field, or driven to Site 2. Similarly, by reinstalling the DUK, etc. Sanitary processing of the pen is carried out.

 The proposed pen design provides for the industrial production of unified structural elements, excludes earthworks, except for planning, makes it easy to move the pen to the place of new grazing, protects animals from bad weather, ensures manufacturability of cleaning, sanitation and top dressing, provides the possibility of carrying out operations such as acceptance, storage, sorting herds.

 The allocation in the pad of the pad 2 can, if necessary, ensure the creation of a paddock area sheltered from atmospheric precipitation by installing an industrial coating, such as an inflatable film.
