Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the field of agriculture, in particular to veterinary medicine, and can be used for sanitary processing of animals, improves ease of use by ensuring a uniform supply of sheep into the bath tub and adapting them when passing zigzag splitting guides.

State of the art

A known installation for the sanitary processing of sheep, consisting of a split with an additional false bath and a passage having a slope. But at the same time, the sheep sharply slow down before entering the bathing bathtub and begin to turn around due to a fall in front of the walking ones. The installation does not have elements for improving this moment (see AS USSR No. 1105197, class A61D 11/00).

A device for bathing sheep, including pens for bathing and non-bathing animals, interconnected by a split with a partition, a bath installed under the turntable, and a corridor with a section for animals to exit the bath into the split (see AS USSR No. 1678355, CL A61D 11/00).

The disadvantage of these technical solutions is that they do not provide high labor productivity and reduce animal stress.

The closest in technical essence is a device for bathing sheep, including a pre-purchase paddock with an inlet gate, half-ring guide splits, in the place of closure of which there is a coupon bath, and a paddock for bathing sheep (see AS USSR No. 1604366, class A61D 11 / 00).

The disadvantage of this device for bathing sheep is also the reluctance to move through the splits and overcome the false baths, and then the coupon bath.

Disclosure of invention

The objective of the invention is to reduce the complexity of feeding the sheep into the bathtub while increasing productivity and the safety of animals and the exclusion of negative stress.

The technical result that can be obtained using the proposed device for feeding sheep into the bathtub boils down to the fact that the pre-purchase pen has a movable wall mounted on a self-propelled cart mounted on a rail and equipped with an electric drive with reverse. In this case, the pre-purchase paddock is connected to the bathtub by means of curved zigzag splits in which there are three bathtubs. A bath with a disinfectant solution level of 5-10 cm, and two bathtubs with a disinfectant solution level of 15-20 cm. Moreover, at the end of the split, cork platforms are installed by hinges with cork extensions extending to them by hinges, platforms and extensions are placed in disinfectant solution at a depth of 15-20 cm from its upper level, are a continuation of the split floor and are installed with the possibility of smoothly lowering the sheep into the disinfectant solution of the bathing bath for their complete bathing. In addition, there is a gangway at the exit of the bath tub, and a cable, carabiners and an arm are used to hold the platforms and extensions in horizontal position.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that the pre-purchase pen has a movable wall mounted on a self-propelled trolley mounted on a rail and equipped with an electric drive with reverse. In this case, the pre-purchase paddock is connected to the bathtub by means of curved zigzag splits in which there are three bathtubs. A bath with a level of disinfectant solution equal to 5-10 cm, and two bathtubs with a level of disinfectant solution equal to 15-20 cm. Moreover, at the end of the split, cork platforms are installed by hinges with cork extensions extending to them by hinges, platforms and extensions are placed in disinfectant solution at a depth of 15-20 cm from its upper level, are a continuation of the split floor and are installed with the possibility of smoothly lowering the sheep into the disinfectant solution of the bathing bath for their complete bathing. In addition, there is a gangway at the exit of the bath tub, and a cable, carabiners and an arm are used to hold the platforms and extensions in horizontal position.

Brief Description of the Drawings

Figure 1 shows a device for feeding sheep into a bath tub; figure 2 is a section aa in figure 1; figure 3 is a view of B in figure 1.

The implementation of the invention

The device for feeding sheep to the coupon bath includes a pre-purchase pen 1 with an entrance gate (entrance) 2. The pre-purchase pen 1 has a movable wall 3 mounted on a self-propelled cart 4 mounted on a rail track 5 and equipped with an electric drive 6 with a reverse 7. In this case, the pre-purchase pen 1 is connected to the bathtub 8 through curved zigzag splits 9 in which there are three bathtubs. A bath 10 with a disinfectant solution level of 5-10 cm and two baths 11 and 12 with a disinfectant solution level of 15-20 cm. Moreover, at the end of the splits 9, cork platforms 14 are installed by means of hinges 13, holding animals weighing 40-45 kg, which are held in horizontal position in the disinfecting solution by means of a cable 15, carabiners 16 and brackets 17. Due to the fact that the mass of the animal is 50-70 kg, then taking into account the difference of 5-15 kg, which act on the cork platform 14, which smoothly lowers the animal into the disinfectant solution. The animal, in turn, seeks to switch to a cork extension 18.

Cork extensions 18 are attached to the cork platform 14 by hinges 13, which hold animals weighing 30-35 kg and are kept in the disinfectant solution similarly to the cork platform 14. A difference of 20-25 kg allows the cork extension 18 to drop sharply into the disinfectant solution with the animal and completely redeem him.

Cork platforms 14 and extensions 18 are placed in a disinfectant solution at a depth of 15-20 cm from its upper level and are an extension of the split floor and installed with the possibility of smoothly lowering the sheep into the disinfectant solution of the bathing bathtub 8 for their complete bathing.

The bucket bath 8 is equipped with a ladder 19, which is located in the shelter of the sludge 20 after buying the sheep, equipped with an exit gate 21. In the cage 22 with a wicket 23 contain a group of sheep as a bait and a stimulator for moving animals along a curved zigzag split 9. The operator controls the process of feeding the sheep to coupon bath from the control panel 24.

A device for feeding sheep into a coupon bath works as follows.

Open the entrance gate (entrance) 2 of the prefabricated pen 1, drive the sheep and close the entrance gate 2. From the control panel 24, the operator turns on the electric drive 6, the reverse 7 under the action of which moves the movable wall 3, mounted on the self-propelled cart 4 along the rail 5 in the direction of curvilinear zigzag splits 9. As the moving wall 3 advances, at the moment of great crowding, the animals are forced to move to splits 9 and, seeing in the cage 22 a group of sheep, overcome the bath 10 with a disinfectant solution level of 5-10 cm, then the baths at 11 with a disinfectant solution level of 15-20 cm, and then a bath 12 with a disinfectant solution level of also 15-20 cm, which reunites with the bathtub 8. Moving further along the canine 9, the sheep move along the cork platform 14 and the cork extension 18, which are fixed by hinges 13. And since the weight of the animal is 50-70 kg, the cork platform 14 and extension 18 under this weight smoothly descend into the disinfectant solution, without causing spray and noise effect, and float along the wall of the bathtub 8, until their legs are not touched the ladder 19 is steeped, along which they go to the sludge pen 20 for bathing sheep. By the end of the purchase of sheep, the operator from the control panel 24, by means of an electric drive 6 and a reverse 7 sets a movable wall 3, mounted on a self-propelled cart 4 along the rail 5 in its original position. Next, the cycle of feeding the sheep into the bathtub 8 is repeated.

The invention in comparison with the prototype and other known technical solutions will provide the following advantages:

- increase labor productivity;

- eliminate negative effects on the animal;

- reduce stress and noise factors;

- increase the efficiency of the process of buying sheep.
