Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric stimulation for livestock, and in particular to a continuous electric stimulation device for livestock. Background Art

[0002] In existing beef cattle slaughtering lines, it is usually necessary to bleed the cattle after slaughter. However, during the self-bleeding process, the bleeding speed is slow and the pH value is high. Bleeding is not sufficient in a short period of time, making it difficult to promote the decrease of pH value. Rigor mortis is slow, resulting in poor meat quality and insufficient tenderness, and also affecting the slaughtering efficiency of the slaughtering production line.

[0003] In the prior art, there is a cattle electrical stimulation device with Chinese patent number CN212393724U, which includes a fixed bracket, an electric shock bracket, a lifting bracket, a first telescopic rod, an electric wire, and a second telescopic rod. The fixed bracket is slidably connected to two lifting brackets, the fixed bracket is equipped with a first telescopic rod connected to the lifting bracket, the lifting bracket is equipped with a second telescopic rod, and the second telescopic rod is equipped with an electric shock bracket. The two electric shock brackets are connected to the positive and negative poles of the power supply via electric wires. The utility model can fully bleed the cattle during the electric shock process, promote the decrease of pH value, accelerate the rigor mortis process, reduce cold shrinkage, and significantly improve meat quality. At the same time, the two electric shock brackets are adjustable in horizontal and vertical positions to accommodate cattle of different sizes. During use, they will not block the cattle's walking route, ensuring meat quality while further improving slaughter efficiency.

[0004] Although the above scheme has the above advantages, the disadvantage of the above scheme is that manual intervention is required to turn on the switch to start the electrical stimulation program during the electrical stimulation process. The risk factor of electrical stimulation is high, and manual operation is prone to electric shock. For this reason, we have proposed a continuous electrical stimulation device for livestock.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] Automatic electrical stimulation:

[0045] The cow is driven to move to one side of the C-shaped conductive plate 22 through a sliding mechanism. When the cow slides to this position, it touches the sensing rod 42. After the sensing rod 42 receives the touch force and the photoelectric sensor senses the cow, it transmits the signal to the controller. The controller controls the nozzle 34 to start, and water is sprayed from the nozzle 34 to the surface of the cow's body to improve the conductive effect. After the specified spraying time, the controller supplies power to the manual conductive clamp 24 through a telescopic wire. The manual conductive clamp 24 transmits electricity to the manual conductive clamp connecting rod 23. The manual conductive clamp connecting rod 23 transmits electricity to the conductive plate frame 21, and then transmits it to the C-shaped conductive plate 22. The C-shaped conductive plate 22 transmits electrical energy to the cow that is close to it, and continuously stimulates the cow with electricity. After a certain period of stimulation, the controller stops supplying power to the manual conductive clamp 24, and a cycle ends. During the power supply process, the insulating block 18 isolates the power of the C-shaped conductive plate 22. During the electrical stimulation process, the working indicator light 52 lights up according to the progress of the electrical stimulation. During the electrical stimulation process, the emergency stop button 55 can be used to stop the electrical stimulation.

[0046] Manual electrical stimulation:

[0047] Remove the manual conductive clamp 24 from the manual conductive clamp connecting rod 23, and clamp the manual conductive clamp 24 on the cow's nose, then wear insulating equipment, and press manual stimulation button 1 53 and manual stimulation button 2 54 to execute different electrical stimulation programs according to parameters such as the cow's body shape. The controller supplies power to the manual conductive clamp 24 according to the activated electrical stimulation program.
