Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of dairy cow breeding and relates to whole-body cleaning equipment used for managing dairy cows during estrus. Background Art

[0002] During estrus, dairy cows may experience increased secretions due to hormonal changes. If these secretions remain on the cow's body for a long time, they can not only affect its comfort but also become a breeding ground for bacteria, increasing the cow's risk of disease. Therefore, full-body washing can remove these secretions and keep the cow clean and dry.

[0008] In the utility model, the top plate, the mounting plate and the bottom plate are connected to form a C-shaped structure. The C-shaped structure can be clamped on the cow entering the inner channel of the gantry under the push of the second telescopic column. The top plate is located above the cow and the bottom is located below the cow's abdomen. The nozzle on the top plate sprays the cow's back and the nozzle on the bottom plate sprays the cow's abdomen, thereby replacing manual work to achieve full body cleaning of the cow.

[0009] Furthermore, the support column is a first lifting column, a fixed end of the first lifting column is connected and fixed to the top surface of the gantry, and a horizontally placed second telescopic column is installed on the movable end of the first lifting column.

[0010] Furthermore, at least two spray structures are installed on the top surface of the inner side of the gantry, all the spray structures are located on one side of the gantry, and all the sprays are arranged one by one along the axial direction of the inner channel of the gantry.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom plate and the top plate are both horizontally placed rectangular plates, the wide sides of the bottom plate and the top plate are parallel to the direction of the inner channel of the gantry, the wide side length of the top plate is greater than the wide side length of the bottom plate, and the cows located in the inner channel of the gantry are located within the coverage area of ​​the top plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom plate, top plate and mounting plate are all detachably connected by screws.

[0013] Furthermore, the first lifting column is a hydraulic lifting column.

[0014] Furthermore, the second telescopic column is an electric push rod.

[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] 1. The full-body washing equipment, used for managing estrus, can simultaneously spray and rinse the cow's back and abdomen through nozzles on the top and bottom plates, replacing manual washing and resolving the current problem of manual scrubbing of cows, which can be easily irritated by the operator due to the operator's inability to precisely control the force.

[0017] 2. In the present invention, the width of the top plate is greater than that of the bottom plate. After the C-shaped structure is secured on the cow, the spray area on the top plate covers the cow's back from head to tail, thereby facilitating a comprehensive cleansing of the cow.
