Description

The device relates to agriculture, in particular to livestock, and can be used for grazing cattle.

A device for grazing animals is known (See the Catalog of agricultural machinery, volume III, Moscow, 1992, p. 48-49), containing an electric pulse generator, a flexible wire drum, racks with insulators, an earthing switch, electric pulse generator racks. In this device, racks with insulators are installed in the ground after 15-20 m. Between them, a conductive wire connected to an electric pulse generator is pulled at a height of 0.7 m. A group of animals is driven into the territory enclosed by this wire and the entrance is closed. At the end of the grazing of this site, the pastures of animals are distilled to a new site.

The disadvantage of this device is the high labor costs for the rearrangement of the electric fence, including racks and electric wires.

A device for grazing animals is also known (see "Robotic systems in agricultural production." Scientific analytical review. Federal State Institution "Rosinformagroteh", M., 2009, p. 65-67), containing a stationary electric fence in the form of two side stretched and fixed on racks and one frontal wire, fixed with the possibility of tension on two movable platforms having a chassis drive, a generator of high-voltage electric pulses, a solar panel, batteries, a tension mechanism for the frontal wire. The latter is in contact with stationary side wires during movement to transmit an electrical impulse to them.

The disadvantage of this device is the increased material consumption due to the presence of long side wires, the large labor costs for their periodic rearrangement, the unreliability of the transmission of the pulse from the mobile pulse generator to the fixed wires when passing the contact at the point of attachment of the wire to the racks.

The objective of the invention is to increase the efficiency of the device, reducing its material consumption and labor costs for maintenance.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the device for grazing animals, containing interconnected side and front front wires of an electric fence, movable platforms having a frame, a casing, a high-voltage pulse generator, a drive of a running gear, storage batteries, is equipped with a rear front wire, which together with laterally mounted on two additional movable platforms with the help of rotary rods, allowing you to raise the front wires and let animals in or out in the formed odes Electrofences movable corral.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, which show a top view and side view of the device.

The device for grazing animals (Figure 1) consists of four movable platforms 1, bearing at the height of 0.7 m two front 2 and 3 and two side 4 wires connected to a high-voltage pulse generator 5, placed on one of the platforms 1. Recent ( Figure 2) have a frame 6, a protective casing 7, a rotary rod 8 with a drive, at the ends of which a wire 3 is fixed. The platform 1 has supporting (running) wheels 9, their drive 10, a solar panel 11 mounted on a rack 12, rechargeable batteries 13.

The device for grazing animals works as follows. Set the device to position A. Raise the rear frontal wire 3 and drive a group of animals into the device. Lower wire 3 to a height of 0.7 m above the ground and turn on the drive of the chassis 10 of all four platforms 1, which is powered by rechargeable batteries 13 recharged from solar panels 11. Animals eat fresh grass, including under electric fence 2 and 3, and tend to in the direction of movement of the front frontal wire 2, since there is untouched grass. Upon reaching the edge of the pasture or its predetermined point, the platforms stop (position B) and the entire moving corral is turned clockwise by turning the wheels 12 90 degrees clockwise and moving to the right. In this position, the front front wire 3 becomes front. The running wheels 9 rotate another 90 degrees. The whole device moves, pushing the animals, in the direction of the position D. Here it stops, the rod 8 rotates, raising the wire 3 and releasing the animals from the movable corral.

The driving wheels 9 rotate counterclockwise by 90 degrees. The whole device moves to the right in position E, in which the driving wheels 9 are rotated counterclockwise by another 90 degrees. The pasture cycle is over. The device is prepared for the next cycle.

This method of grazing contributes to the active exercise of animals, which makes it possible to combat the physical inactivity of animals and increase the period of their use, more efficiently exploit pastures, increasing their productivity, and reduce labor costs for grazing.

The proposed technical solutions of the device for grazing animals can reduce the consumption of materials by eliminating the fixed part of the electric fence, increase the efficiency of use of the device, since the process of transmitting the pulse from the movable to the fixed wires of the electric fence is eliminated, and labor costs are reduced.

Claims (1)
