(54) DEVICE FOR SORTING ANIMALS

one

This invention relates to animal sorting devices used in agriculture.

Devices for sorting animals are known, including two flaps mounted at the end of a split, interlocked with each other by means of a drive and alternately adjoining to dividing shield 1 and 2 with their ends.

However, in these devices, the valves do not move across the direction of movement of the animals, since their one end is hinged together, which significantly increases the labor costs of sorting the animals.

The purpose of the invention is to reduce labor costs for the process of sorting animals.

The goal is achieved by the fact that the split is provided with rectilinear guides arranged at acute angles to the direction of movement of animals on its both sides, the flaps being installed in the guides.

The drawing schematically shows a device for sorting animals, type F, plan.

The device includes a split 1, at the end of which two flaps 4 are mounted on the frame 2 in the rectilinear guides 3, interlocked with each other by means of the cable-block drive 5 and alternately adjoining to the dividing shield 6. The guides 3 are made in the form of rollers and are located under angles to the direction of movement of animals along the split 1. The cable block drive 5 has a lever 7 for setting it in motion.

The device works as follows.

When animals move along a split 1, the operator, using the lever 7

  and the cable-block drive 5 by the position of the flaps 4 relative to the partition shield 6, alternately overlaps the left or right passage formed by the split end and the partition shield. Wherein

20, one part of the animals is sent to the left, and the other to the right half of the pen, divided into two categories. In the sorting process, animals do not move with sashes that move across

the direction of movement of animals, which reduces operator labor costs.
