Aktiveririgsaggregat Description FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an assembly for activating, inter alia, animals such as mink and pigs. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the case of mink breeding and pig breeding, it is possible for the animals to bite each other, since the animals often stay in the same room and can exhibit aggressive behavior for a variety of reasons. Bite in e.g. a mink coat results in a reduced value of the coat. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the frequency of bites among mink. Similarly, it is advantageous for pigs to be able to reduce the bite rate in order to minimize the risk of infection and the other injury risks associated with bites from other animals. The use of traditional actuators is associated with a number of disadvantages. Many traditional actuators will have a very short life among mink or pig because the traditional actuators are not suitable for mink and pig bites and thus will be destroyed after a very short time. Therefore, an alternative to the traditional actuators is needed. It is further desirable to provide an improved activation assembly which is easy and inexpensive to produce. It is further desirable to provide an improved actuator which enables replacement of wear parts in an easy and simple manner. The Invention of the Invention The object of the present invention is to provide an alternative to the conventional activating assemblies. It is also the object of the present invention to provide an improved activation assembly which is easy and inexpensive to produce. It is also the object of the present invention to provide an improved actuator which allows for replacement of wear parts in an easy and simple manner. The object of the present invention is achieved with an activation assembly as defined in claim 1. Preferred embodiments are defined in the subclaims and are explained in the following description and illustrated in the accompanying figures. The actuating device according to the invention is an actuator for activating animals such as mink and pig, which comprises a central part arranged for attaching one or more bite pieces arranged in such a way that animals, including mink and pig can bite into them. , wherein the central portion consists of a first portion and a second portion which are removably mounted on one another and wherein the assembly comprises one or more removably mounted pieces of piece on the central portion. This results in an improved actuator which allows replacement of the removably mounted bite pieces (which are wear parts) in an easy and simple way. It may be advantageous that the attachment of one or more pieces of piece is established as a result of the assembly of the first part and the second part · There may be a geometric locking which is established when the first part and the second part are fixed. to each other. The activation assembly of the invention is an assembly for activating animals, such as mink and pig, but can also be used for other animals. The actuator will be able to scale in size if used for larger or smaller animals. For mink and pig applications, it is advantageous that the central portion is so large that the animals cannot bite in the central portion. This can be achieved by ensuring that the animals cannot yawn over the central part. The assembly comprises a central portion adapted for attaching one or more pieces of bite which is arranged in such a way that animals, including mink and pigs, can bite into them. The side pieces can advantageously be '' wear resistant '', ie. be made of a durable material. The central portion consists of a first portion and a second portion which are removably mounted on one another. Advantageously, the fastening may be mechanical and includes fasteners which permit rapid decoupling of the first portion and a second portion from one another. The unit comprises one or more detachable bites mounted on the central part. The side pieces can advantageously be flexibly fixed ten! the central part so that the bite member cannot be used as a rigid member to bend or destroy the central member. It may be advantageous that the first portion and the second portion are hemispherical so that the central portion formed by the first portion and the second portion are spherical. It may be advantageous that the central portion is hollow and that one or more apertures are provided through which apertures extend one or more bite pieces. Thus, it is possible to denote the central part as a through element which ensures a secure attachment protected from the surroundings. It may be an advantage that the first part and the second part are identical. This reduces production costs and reduces the requirement for warehousing and logistics. It may be advantageous that one portion comprises a first engagement member and the second portion comprises a corresponding second engagement member adapted to engage the first engagement member so that one portion is secured to the other portion when the first engagement member is brought into engagement with the second engagement element. Hereby it is possible to ensure that the first element and the second element are mechanically retained! each other. It may be advantageous that one portion comprises two first engaging members and the second portion comprises two corresponding additional engaging members adapted to engage the first engaging members so that one portion is secured to the other portion when the first engaging members are engaged with the additional engagement elements. This provides an extremely secure fastening mechanism that secures fastening in two places. It may be advantageous that one or the first engagement elements are movably mounted on one part and that the first engagement element (s) is arranged for the first part. being brought out of engagement with one or two corresponding additional engagement elements by displacing one or the first two engagement elements inwardly in the radial direction. This ensures that two engagement elements must be pushed in at the same time in order to be able to detach one part from the other part. This means that mink and pigs will not be able to open the central part unintentionally, but that the farmer will easily be able to open the central part in connection with replacement of parts. It may be advantageous for the assembly to comprise a bite piece consisting of a string and two retaining members, each retaining member comprising a tubular member through which the thread extends, each retaining member further including a protective member provided at the distal end of the tubular member. Thus, the two retaining elements can be used in part to attach the cord to the central one! and partly ten! protecting the central portion where the central portion is pierced by the cord. It is an advantage that the protective element is designed as a plate-shaped or disc-shaped part which, when mounted on the outside of the central part, protects the central part! against bite. It may be advantageous for the tubular member to comprise a clamping region where the tubular member is clamped around the cord, thereby reducing or eliminating the displacement of the cord along the longitudinal axis of the tube. This ensures an efficient, simple and inexpensive attachment of the cord to the pipe element. It may be an advantage that the outer dimension of the pipe element corresponds to the internal geometry of one or more openings. This ensures that the pipe elements are enclosed by the opening and that the pipe element rests on the opening, thus fixing the pipe element in whole or in part in the tangential direction. It may be an advantage that the assembly comprises a plurality of control elements adapted to facilitate assembly of the first part and the second part. It may be advantageous for the assembly to comprise one or more chains attached to the first part and / or to the second part. The chains can replace or supplement the use of a string. Chains can e.g. made of metal in order to obtain a durable strong solution.
