[0006] Furthermore, there are multiple water delivery ports, and the multiple water delivery ports are arranged at intervals around the water delivery pipe itself in the circumferential direction.

[0007] Furthermore, the driving device includes a motor, a driving gear and a driven gear. The motor is installed on the carrying platform, the motor output part is connected to the driving gear, the driven gear is sleeved with the conveying cylinder, and the driving gear and the driven gear are gear-matched.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of anti-trampling spikes are provided on the top of the protective plate, and the plurality of anti-trampling spikes are horizontally spaced and distributed, and the anti-trampling spikes are used to prevent livestock from trampling on the protective plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of drainage chutes are provided on the top of the carrying platform, and the plurality of drainage chutes are distributed at intervals along the horizontal direction.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of the cleaning mechanisms are installed between two adjacent drain troughs, and the plurality of cleaning mechanisms are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the drain trough.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the sewage troughs is provided with a plurality of spraying devices, and the plurality of spraying devices provided in the same sewage trough are distributed at intervals along the water flow direction of the sewage trough, and the spraying direction of the plurality of spraying devices provided in the same sewage trough is consistent with the water flow direction of the sewage trough.

[0012] Furthermore, the supporting platform is provided with a fence, the plurality of drain troughs are located within the fence, each drain trough has a drain outlet, each drain outlet is commonly connected to a water collection tank, and the water collection tank is located outside the fence.

[0013] Furthermore, the fence is hinged with a door body.

[0014] Furthermore, the water delivery pipe is connected to the delivery cylinder via a plurality of waterproof sealing rings.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The supporting platform is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the plurality of through holes are distributed at intervals in the horizontal direction; the plurality of cleaning mechanisms are installed at intervals on the supporting platform, and each cleaning mechanism corresponds to one of the through holes. The plurality of horizontally spaced through holes provide precise installation positioning and working space for the plurality of cleaning mechanisms, so that each cleaning mechanism can correspond to an independent working area. When the livestock are driven onto the supporting platform, there is no need to deliberately bring the hooves close to the cleaning mechanism, and each cleaning mechanism can perform cleaning operations on different hooves of the livestock respectively. This one-to-one structural layout breaks the limitation that traditional cleaning devices can only process a small number of hooves at a time, allowing the hooves of multiple livestock or multiple hooves of the same livestock to be cleaned at the same time, realizing batch cleaning and thus greatly increasing the number of cleanings per unit time.

[0017] 2. Based on the vertical rod passing through the through hole, the protective plate is connected to the vertical rod and supported by the vertical rod, and the outer periphery of the vertical rod and the bottom of the protective plate form an annular cavity. The vertical rod passes through the through hole, and the protective plate is connected to the vertical rod and supported by it, forming a stable support structure. This design allows the protective plate to reliably prevent the livestock's hooves from directly contacting the cleaning mechanism below, avoiding damage to key components such as the conveying cylinder and the nozzle caused by livestock trampling, effectively extending the service life of the equipment, reducing downtime and maintenance time due to component damage, ensuring the continuity of batch cleaning operations, and indirectly improving work efficiency. At the same time, the annular cavity formed by the outer periphery of the vertical rod and the bottom of the protective plate can prevent livestock from touching the high-speed rotating nozzle. The annular cavity can prevent the high-speed jet of water from hitting the equipment by positioning the conveying cylinder, and also makes the water jetting effect better.

[0018] 3. Based on the fact that the delivery cylinder is installed in the annular cavity, the delivery cylinder of the nozzle has a delivery cavity, and multiple nozzles are distributed circumferentially around the delivery cylinder, each of the nozzles is connected to the delivery cavity, the water pipe is connected to the vertical rod and supports the vertical rod, the water pipe and the delivery cylinder are sealed for relative rotation, a water inlet is provided inside the water pipe, the water inlet, the delivery cavity and the nozzle are connected in sequence along the direction of water flow, the drive device is in transmission connection with the delivery cylinder and drives the delivery cylinder to rotate around the vertical rod. Multiple nozzles are distributed circumferentially around the delivery cylinder, and each nozzle is connected to the delivery cavity. The water inlet, the delivery cavity and the nozzle are connected in sequence along the direction of water flow, and the drive device drives the delivery cylinder to rotate around the vertical rod, forming an all-round flushing mode. When the water pipe supplies water to the delivery chamber through the water delivery port, the water flow can be evenly sprayed out through each nozzle, and the rotation of the delivery cylinder drives the nozzle to rotate synchronously, so that the sprayed water flow can cover the livestock's hooves from different angles. This rotary spray design makes the device have a circumferential impact force on the livestock, the cleaning effect is better and more obvious, and the work efficiency is improved.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 5A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a hoof cleaning device for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, comprising: a carrying platform 1 and a plurality of cleaning mechanisms 2, the carrying platform 1 being provided with a plurality of through holes 11, the plurality of through holes 11 being distributed at intervals in the horizontal direction; a plurality of the cleaning mechanisms 2 being installed on the carrying platform 1 at intervals, each of the cleaning mechanisms 2 corresponding to one of the through holes 11, the cleaning mechanism 2 comprising a vertical rod 21, a protective plate 22, a conveying cylinder 23, a plurality of nozzles 24, a water pipe 25 and a driving device 26; the vertical rod 21 is passed through the through hole 11, the protective plate 22 is connected to the vertical rod 21 and supported by the vertical rod 21, and the outer periphery of the vertical rod 21 is in contact with the protective plate 2 2 forms an annular cavity below, the delivery cylinder 23 is installed in the annular cavity, the delivery cylinder 23 has a delivery cavity 231, a plurality of the nozzles 24 are distributed circumferentially around the delivery cylinder 23, each of the nozzles 24 is connected to the delivery cavity 231, the water pipe 25 is connected to the vertical rod 21 and supports the vertical rod 21, the water pipe 25 is sealed and relatively rotatable with the delivery cylinder 23, the side wall of the water pipe 25 is provided with a water delivery port 251, the water delivery port 251, the delivery cavity 231 and the nozzles 24 are sequentially connected along the water flow direction, the driving device 26 is transmission-connected to the delivery cylinder 23, and drives the delivery cylinder 23 to rotate around the vertical rod 21.

[0029] To clean livestock hooves, the animals are first driven onto the supporting platform 1, where subsequent cleaning operations can begin. A protective plate 22, connected to and supported by the vertical rod 21 and located at the through-hole 11, effectively prevents the animal's hooves from directly stepping on the cleaning mechanism 2 below, thereby protecting it. The cleaning mechanism 2, mounted corresponding to the through-hole 11, then begins operation. A water pipe 25 delivers cleaning water to the delivery chamber 231 of the delivery cylinder 23 through a water delivery port 251 on the side wall. Because the water pipe 25 and the delivery cylinder 23 are connected in a relatively rotating, sealed manner, water flows steadily into the delivery chamber 231 without leakage. Multiple nozzles 24, mounted on the outer periphery of the delivery cylinder 23 and spaced circumferentially, spray the water within the delivery chamber 231 at a constant pressure, directly onto the animal's hooves on the supporting platform 1. A drive unit 26, connected to the delivery cylinder 23 and activated, rotates the delivery cylinder 23 about the vertical rod 21. As the conveyor drum 23 rotates, the multiple nozzles 24 form a circular water flow, fully flushing the hoof from different angles, effectively cleaning dirt from the hoof surface and crevices. The synchronized operation of multiple cleaning mechanisms 2 enables batch cleaning of livestock hooves. The combined rotation of the conveyor drum 23 and the multi-angle spraying of the nozzles 24 ensure that each hoof is thoroughly cleaned, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0030] Obviously, the supporting platform 1 is provided with a plurality of through holes 11, and the plurality of through holes 11 are distributed at intervals in the horizontal direction; the plurality of cleaning mechanisms 2 are installed at intervals on the supporting platform 1, and each of the cleaning mechanisms 2 corresponds to one of the through holes 11. The plurality of horizontally spaced through holes 11 provide precise installation positioning and working space for the plurality of cleaning mechanisms 2, so that each cleaning mechanism 2 can correspond to an independent working area. When the livestock is driven onto the supporting platform 1, there is no need to deliberately bring the hooves close to the cleaning mechanism 2, and each cleaning mechanism 2 can perform cleaning operations on different hooves of the livestock respectively. This one-to-one structural layout breaks the limitation that traditional cleaning devices can only process a small number of hooves at a time, allowing the hooves of multiple livestock or multiple hooves of the same livestock to be cleaned at the same time, realizing batch cleaning and thus greatly increasing the number of cleanings per unit time. Based on the vertical rod 21 being inserted into the through hole 11, the protective plate 22 is connected to the vertical rod 21 and supported by the vertical rod 21. The outer periphery of the vertical rod 21 and the lower portion of the protective plate 22 form an annular cavity. The vertical rod 21 is inserted into the through hole 11, and the protective plate 22 is connected to the vertical rod 21 and supported by it, forming a stable support structure. This design allows the protective plate 22 to reliably prevent the livestock's hooves from directly contacting the cleaning mechanism 2 below, avoiding damage to key components such as the conveying cylinder 23 and the nozzle 24 caused by livestock trampling, effectively extending the service life of the equipment, reducing downtime and maintenance time caused by component damage, ensuring the continuity of batch cleaning operations, and indirectly improving work efficiency. At the same time, the annular cavity formed by the outer periphery of the vertical rod 21 and the lower portion of the protective plate 22 can prevent livestock from touching the high-speed rotating nozzle 24. The annular cavity prevents the conveying cylinder 23 from being hit by the high-speed jet of water, and also makes the water jetting effect better. Based on the fact that the conveying cylinder 23 is installed in the annular cavity, the conveying cylinder 23 has a conveying cavity 231 in the nozzle 24, and multiple nozzles 24 are distributed circumferentially around the conveying cylinder 23. Each nozzle 24 is connected to the conveying cavity 231. The water pipe 25 is connected to the vertical rod 21 and supports the vertical rod 21. The water pipe 25 is sealed and connected to the conveying cylinder 23 for relative rotation. A water port 251 is provided inside the water pipe 25. The water port 251, the conveying cavity 231 and the nozzle 24 are connected in sequence along the water flow direction. The driving device 26 is connected to the conveying cylinder 23 for transmission and drives the conveying cylinder 23 to rotate around the vertical rod 21. Multiple nozzles 24 are distributed at intervals around the conveying cylinder 23, and each nozzle 24 is connected to the conveying chamber 231. The water delivery port 251, the conveying chamber 231 and the nozzle 24 are connected in sequence along the water flow direction. The driving device 26 drives the conveying cylinder 23 to rotate around the vertical rod 21, forming an all-round flushing mode.When the water pipe 25 supplies water to the delivery chamber 231 through the water delivery port 251, the water flow can be evenly sprayed out through each nozzle 24, and the rotation of the delivery cylinder 23 drives the nozzle 24 to rotate synchronously, so that the sprayed water flow can cover the livestock's hooves from different angles. This rotary spray design makes the device have a circumferential impact force on the livestock, which has a better cleaning effect and improves work efficiency.

[0031] Preferably, in this embodiment, multiple water inlets 251 are provided, spaced circumferentially around the water pipe 25. Providing multiple water inlets 251 allows them to supply water to the delivery chamber 231 of the delivery cylinder 23 from different directions, avoiding localized water flow concentration or uneven pressure caused by a single water inlet 251. Water can more evenly fill the delivery chamber 231, ensuring consistent water volume and pressure from each nozzle 24. This reduces blind spots caused by uneven water distribution and improves hoof cleaning. Moreover, when the conveying cylinder 23 rotates around the vertical rod 21 driven by the driving device 26, the circumferential layout of the multiple water delivery ports 251 can cooperate with the rotation of the conveying cylinder 23. No matter what angle the conveying cylinder 23 rotates to, there is a water delivery port 251 in a position that is conducive to the entry of water, avoiding the instantaneous water supply shortage caused by the "direction deviation" of a single water delivery port 251, ensuring the continuous and stable water flow during the rotary flushing process, thereby ensuring that the device can achieve batch cleaning.

[0032] Preferably, in this embodiment, the drive device 26 includes a motor 261, a driving gear 262, and a driven gear 263. The motor 261 is mounted on the support platform 1, with the output of the motor 261 connected to the driving gear 262. The driven gear 263 is sleeved onto the conveying drum 23, and the driving gear 262 and the driven gear 263 engage with each other. This arrangement provides power to the motor 261, which, combined with the gear transmission, drives the conveying drum 23 to rotate, thus endowing the cleaning mechanism 2 with efficient cleaning capabilities. When cleaning the hooves of livestock of different types and sizes, the output of the motor 261 can be controlled to adjust the speed of the driving gear 262, thereby varying the speed of the driven gear 263 and the conveying drum 23. For livestock with dirty hooves, the speed of the conveying drum 23 can be increased, allowing the water jet from the nozzle 24 to exert a stronger impact force, allowing for focused cleaning. For young animals with more fragile hooves, the speed can be reduced to prevent damage caused by excessive water jet force. This flexible speed control can significantly improve the adaptability of cleaning to the hooves of different livestock, ensuring the cleaning effect while protecting the hooves of livestock, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of hoof cleaning for livestock and veterinary use.

[0033] Preferably, in this embodiment, the top of the protective plate 22 is provided with a plurality of anti-trampling spikes 221, which are horizontally spaced and arranged to prevent livestock from trampling on the protective plate 22. With this arrangement, when livestock stand on the supporting platform 1 and attempt to step on the protective plate 22 with their hooves or legs, the spikes will slightly irritate and obstruct the livestock. This physical intervention allows livestock to naturally avoid the protective plate 22, reducing direct stepping on the protective plate 22 and preventing deformation and damage to the protective plate 22 due to long-term bearing of the livestock's weight. This effectively extends the service life of the protective plate 22, ensures its protective function for the cleaning mechanism 2 below, and ensures stable operation of the cleaning mechanism 2. Furthermore, this arrangement does not require an additional power drive; the protective function is achieved solely through structural design, reducing equipment maintenance costs. The anti-trampling spikes 221 also prevent livestock from trampling on the protective plate 22, ensuring that the protective plate 22 remains in a stable position and state. Because the protective plate 22 and the vertical rod 21 form an annular cavity, which serves as the mounting base for cleaning components such as the conveyor cylinder 23, the stability of the protective plate 22 ensures the precise positioning of components such as the conveyor cylinder 23 and the nozzle 24, preventing the relative position of the nozzle 24 and the shoe from deviating due to the displacement of the protective plate 22. This ensures that the water sprayed by the nozzle 24 accurately affects the shoe, ensuring a stable cleaning effect. For example, if the protective plate 22 is deformed by being stepped on, the nozzle 24 may shift in position, resulting in partial incomplete flushing. The anti-trampling spikes 221 effectively prevent this problem.

[0034] Preferably, in this embodiment, a plurality of drainage chutes 12 are provided on the top of the supporting platform 1, and the plurality of drainage chutes 12 are distributed at intervals along the horizontal direction. The plurality of drainage chutes 12 distributed horizontally at intervals provide a multi-path discharge channel for the sewage generated by cleaning. When the nozzle 24 flushes the livestock's hooves, the sewage will naturally flow to the surface of the supporting platform 1, and the drainage chutes 12 distributed at intervals can quickly collect the sewage, preventing the sewage from accumulating on the surface of the platform. Compared with a single drainage channel, the design of multiple drainage chutes 12 can shorten the residence time of sewage on the platform, reduce the risk of sewage infiltrating into other parts of the device due to accumulation, reduce the probability of damage to the equipment due to sewage erosion, and extend the service life of the device. At the same time, this distribution method can adapt to cleaning mechanisms 2 in different positions, ensuring that the sewage in each cleaning area can flow into the drainage chutes 12 nearby, thereby improving sewage discharge efficiency. Moreover, the drainage chutes 12 distributed horizontally at intervals can match the layout of multiple cleaning mechanisms 2. During batch cleaning, wastewater is generated simultaneously in multiple locations. Multiple drainage troughs 12 can correspond to different cleaning areas, enabling separate collection and discharge of wastewater, thus preventing the mixing of wastewater from different areas and clogging of the drainage channel. This targeted drainage design ensures that the drainage system can still operate efficiently even in the case of high wastewater volumes during batch cleaning, and does not affect the cleaning progress due to untimely drainage, further improving the efficiency of batch cleaning.

[0035] Preferably, in this embodiment, a plurality of the cleaning mechanisms 2 are installed between two adjacent drain troughs 12, and the plurality of cleaning mechanisms 2 are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the drain trough 12. The area between adjacent drain troughs 12 arranged in this way can become an independent cleaning unit, and the plurality of cleaning mechanisms 2 are distributed along the extension direction of the drain trough 12, so that the sewage generated by each cleaning mechanism 2 during operation can flow directly to the drain troughs 12 on both sides. For example, when the nozzle 24 flushes the hoof and produces sewage, the sewage will flow downward on the surface of the supporting platform 1, and the drain troughs 12 on both sides just form a "drainage channel" that can quickly collect sewage around the cleaning mechanism 2 and avoid sewage accumulation in the cleaning area. This layout of "cleaning mechanism 2 in the center and drain trough 12 on the side" shortens the sewage flow path, improves the timeliness and pertinence of sewage collection, and reduces the risk of secondary pollution caused by sewage diffusion.

[0036] Preferably, in this embodiment, each drain trough 12 is equipped with multiple spraying devices 13. The multiple spraying devices 13 located in the same drain trough 12 are spaced apart along the direction of water flow in the trough 12, and the spraying direction of the multiple spraying devices 13 located in the same drain trough 12 is consistent with the direction of water flow in the trough 12. This arrangement creates a continuous "boosting water flow." When wastewater generated during cleaning flows into the drain trough 12, the water sprayed by the spraying devices 13 creates a thrust force on the wastewater in the trough along the direction of discharge, accelerating the flow of the wastewater. For example, if the drain trough 12 becomes locally clogged due to accumulation of wastewater, the water flow from the front spraying device 13 can first flush the wastewater, while the rear spraying device continues to push the wastewater, preventing it from stagnating in the trough. This "staged boosting" approach effectively prevents waste from accumulating in the drain trough 12, ensuring rapid wastewater discharge and preventing the continuity of the cleaning operation from being affected by poor drainage. When batch cleaning is required, multiple cleaning mechanisms 2 work simultaneously, and the amount of sewage and dirt in the sewage trough 12 increases significantly, which places higher demands on sewage discharge capacity. Multiple spraying devices 13 are distributed along the direction of water flow, which can flexibly form thrust according to the amount of sewage at different positions in the sewage trough 12. The areas where sewage is concentrated can enhance the flushing force through the superposition of water flow from multiple groups of devices, ensuring that sewage can still be efficiently treated under high-load sewage discharge conditions. This design is coordinated with the layout of the cleaning mechanisms 2 between adjacent sewage troughs 12 to form a collaborative system of "batch operation of cleaning mechanisms 2-efficient discharge of sewage troughs 12", which ensures the stable operation of the sewage discharge system during batch cleaning and further improves the overall work efficiency of the device.

[0037] Preferably, in this embodiment, the support platform 1 is provided with a fence 14. The plurality of drain chutes 12 are located within the fence 14. Each drain chute 12 has a drain outlet 121, and each drain outlet 121 is connected to a water collection tank located outside the fence 14. This provision of the fence 14 encloses the drain chutes 12 and the cleaning mechanism 2, forming an independent cleaning space. When livestock are having their hooves cleaned on the support platform 1, the fence 14 prevents them from arbitrarily leaving the cleaning area, preventing cleaning interruptions caused by livestock running or misalignment between the hoof and the cleaning mechanism 2, and ensuring that batch cleaning is carried out in a timely manner. Furthermore, the fence 14 prevents splashing wastewater from spreading outside the platform during the cleaning process, preventing it from contaminating the surrounding environment and reducing the risk of operators being affected by contact with wastewater, thus providing a cleaner and safer operating environment for cleaning operations. The drain outlets 121 of each drain chute 12 are connected to the water collection tank, enabling centralized wastewater treatment. The sewage collected by the drainage trough 12 in the fence 14 is uniformly collected into the water collection trough through the sewage outlet 121, avoiding the problem of sewage dispersion and inconvenience in treatment caused by the sewage discharge of multiple drainage troughs 12. For example, the water collection trough can be connected to external sewage treatment equipment to filter and purify the sewage in a centralized manner. Compared with decentralized sewage discharge, this centralized design greatly reduces the complexity and cost of sewage treatment. At the same time, the water collection trough is located outside the fence 14 and is physically separated from the cleaning area, which reduces the interference of sewage on the cleaning operation during the treatment process and is convenient for operators to clean and maintain the water collection trough regularly. At the same time, this design is highly consistent with the needs of batch cleaning. The fence 14 ensures that multiple livestock are cleaned in an orderly manner within a limited space, which increases the processing volume per unit time; the cooperation between the drainage trough 12 and the water collection trough effectively solves the problem of large amounts of sewage generated by batch cleaning.

[0038] Preferably, in this embodiment, the fence 14 is hinged with a door body 15. With this arrangement, the hinged door body 15 can be flexibly opened and closed, providing a passage for livestock to enter and exit the cleaning area within the fence 14. When the hooves of livestock need to be cleaned, the door body 15 can be opened to drive the livestock into the carrying platform 1; after the cleaning is completed, the door body 15 can be opened again to lead the livestock out. The entire process does not require the livestock to be forcibly dragged or guided in a detour, reducing the manpower consumption and time cost during the livestock driving process. Compared with fences without a door body 15 or fixed closed fences 14, the design of the hinged door body 15 makes the entry and exit of livestock more efficient, and is particularly suitable for the continuous flow of multiple livestock during batch cleaning, avoiding interruptions to the cleaning process due to inconvenience in entry and exit. The hinged structure allows the door body 15 to adjust the opening angle according to actual needs, which can meet the entry and exit needs of small livestock (such as sheep and pigs) and can also adapt to the passing width of large livestock (such as cattle). For example, when handling larger livestock, door 15 can be fully opened to reduce space constraints for entry and exit. When cleaning young animals, appropriately controlling the opening angle of door 15 prevents them from escaping, improving the device's adaptability to livestock of different types and sizes. This flexibility allows the device to function efficiently in a variety of animal husbandry and veterinary scenarios, further enhancing its practical value.

[0039] Preferably, in this embodiment, the water pipe 25 is connected to the conveying cylinder 23 via multiple waterproof sealing rings 27. With this arrangement, when the conveying cylinder 23 rotates around the vertical rod 21 under the action of the driving device 26, the connection between the water pipe 25 and the conveying cylinder 23 is in a dynamic friction state. Multiple waterproof sealing rings 27 can disperse friction stress, reduce the wear rate of individual sealing rings, and extend the overall service life of the sealing assembly. At the same time, the multi-sealing ring design can better adapt to subtle displacements during rotation, ensuring that good sealing performance is maintained during long-term rotation operations, reducing the frequency of equipment downtime and maintenance due to seal failure, reducing maintenance costs and time loss, and ensuring the continuity of batch cleaning operations.
