  • Figure 3 shows in dash-dot lines the starting position and in full lines a partly moved forward position. This figure shows that due to the co-action of the guide tracks 35 and 36 the hinge point 33 of the pivotable element 32 moves upward during the movement forward from the rearmost position. In the rearmost position the pivotable element extends upward and in the forward position of the feeding fence the pivotable element 32 is tilted forward.
  • a holder with support rollers 38 is also used in this device to keep the pivotable element 32 in contact with the pinion 31.
  • a pinion 41 is likewise rotatably mounted on the frame 42.

  • a pivotable element 44 in the form of a curved gear rack is in engagement with pinion 41 and one end thereof is connected hingedly at 45 to an arm 46, which in turn is itself connected hingedly at 47 to a support 48 which is fixedly connected to floor 43.
  • a guide track 49 is formed on the frame 42. In this guide track engages a roller 50 which is arranged at the position of the hinge connection 45 at the end of the pivotable element 44. Due to the mechanism formed by the arm 46 in combination with guide track 49, the hinge end of pivotable element 44 moves upward when frame 42 moves from the rearmost position shown with dash-dot lines in figure 5 to the shifted forward position. The shifted forward position is indicated with full lines in figure 5.

  • the support rollers of holder 76 hold pivotable element 64 in contact with toothed wheel 65.
  • the toothed wheel 65 is set into rotation and due to the co- action of chain wheel 65 and pivotable element 64 the feeding fence 60 is therein displaced.

  • the shape of the curved path 87 is easily defined as the path described by the reaction element 86 relative to the frame 2, wherein the movement of the frame 2 moves between the two extreme positions of the translation movement.
  • Figure 8 thus shows the position of feeding fence 85 after an initial displacement wherein pinion 12 has moved forward over the first straight part of rack 11.
  • the reaction element 86 of course moves therein relative to frame 2 in a straight line which is also to be found in the straight part 89 of the curved path 87.
  • the curved path 87 extends in a direction which has at least a considerable component transversely of the translation movement. In other words, the curved path 87 itself extends generally in the direction of the translation movement.
  • the reaction element 86 consequently absorbs a reaction force directed substantially transversely of the translation movement, so that substantially only a force parallel to the translation movement is still exerted on the hinge 13. A possible tilting moment which the drive might exert on the feeding fence is hereby compensated.

  • One possibility is for instance a gear rack formed by a roller chain enclosed in a curved C-profile.
  • An important aspect of the embodiment according to fig. 11-13 is that the gear rack and the pinion are wholly enclosed in the bottom part of the fence.
  • the enclosure is formed integrally with the end fence which is mounted fixedly on the floor.
  • the feeding fence is guided by the sliding beams in this casing of the gear rack.
  • the rear part of the end fences are open, so that during assembly the end fences are placed on the guide from the front.
  • the end fences can moreover be kept short, wherein only the rear part of the fence still rests on the guide in the foremost position.
  • the advantage of a short end fence is that the manure passageway is hereby narrowed as little as possible, which is favourable for the freedom of movement of the cattle.
  • the guide is independent of the floor. It is therefore not necessary to level the floor before the end fences are mounted.
  • the feed passageway and the manure passageway can have a different height.
  • the end fence can have a recess for passage of a manure scraper above the manure passageway which is located in the figure to the right of the fence.
  • the drive motor When used in a feeding fence according to the invention it is advantageous to arrange the drive motor in the frame of the fence, so that with one continuous shaft a driving can take place at both ends of the fence. In that case the engaging wheel will therefore be mounted on the frame, while the pivotable element is hingedly connected to the floor.
  • the pivotable element can be arranged on the fence itself and the engaging wheel disposed fixedly. All these and like variants are deemed to fall within the scope of the following claims.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif à deux éléments qui permet de convertir un mouvement de rotation en un mouvement de translation, ou vice versa, pour les deux éléments (1, 7) en question guidés en translation l'un par rapport à l'autre. Dans ce dispositif, une roue d'enclenchement (12) est montée sur l'un des éléments et une pièce pivotante (11) est articulée à une extrêmité avec l'autre élément et possède une surface (20) qui s'engage dans la roue d'enclenchement (12) et qui s'étend selon une ligne courbe entre deux points de la pièce pivotante (11) à égale distance. On décrit également une barrière mobile pour l'alimentation des animaux en stabulation, qui fonctionne avec ce système de transmission.
