Abstract

This invention relates to agriculture. The aim of the invention is to simplify the design and operation. The simulator contains a ring arena 1 with inner and outer barriers 2 and 3. At the ends of the barriers, blocks 6 and 7 are horizontally mounted, connected by means of a cable to elements 10. When the cable is moved with elements 10 along blocks 6 and 7 radially across the ring The arena provides forced exercise of animals around the ring at a certain speed. 2 Il.

Description

FIG. 2

The invention relates to agriculture, in particular to the field of mechanization of livestock.

The purpose of the invention is to simplify the design and operation.

FIG. 1 shows a simulator, a general view; in fig. 2 - the same, top view.

The simulator for the compulsive exercise of Animals contains a ring arena 1 with an inner 2 and outer 3 fencing. On the uprights of outer 4 and inner 5 og-each on isolated axles, blocks 6 and 7 are fixed in a horizontal position, through which a closed zigzag)) 8 cable with radial branches passes.

Near one of the units of the cable-blocking system, a drive 9 is mounted on the rack, which is leading. On the cable 8, current-carrying elements 10 (chains or flexible wires) are fixed symmetrically in several areas, which hang freely down over the arena. Their length is chosen so that they reach the back of the animals. The elements 10 are mounted with the possibility of successive transverse movement between the posts of the outer and inner fences along blocks 6 and 7. The cable 8 is installed at a height exceeding the height of animals and a tractor with a bulldozer.

The simulator works as follows.

Through the gate of the outer fence 3, a group of animals is driven into the ring arena 1 of the simulator. After the arena is filled with animals, the drive unit 9 of the master unit is turned on and at the same time the voltage from the generator (not shown) of the electric shepherd to the current-carrying elements 10 is fed through the cable. The closed loop of the cable 8 begins to move, bending the blocks 6 and 7. At the same time the hanging current-carrying elements 10 move that act on animals and compel them to move.

When moving the closed loop of the cable along the ring arena, the ring area of the arena 1 is sequentially processed, causing the animals to move around the ring at a certain speed. After the end of the exercise, the drive 9 and the current of the electric shepherd are turned off, the gates are opened and the animals leave the arena. Then another group of animals is pounded and the process repeats.

Claims (1)

Invention Formula A simulator for the compulsive exercise of animals, containing an annular arena with external and internal enclosures mounted on racks and a drive-driven mechanism for moving tonic elements along the ring of an arena, characterized in that, in order to simplify the design and operation, the mechanism for moving current-carrying elements is designed as located at the upper ends of the outer and inner racks of the closed cable-block system associated with the drive mounted on the rack of one of the fences, system and fixed on the struts, and the cable is passed through the blocks in a zigzag manner to form a radial branches.
