Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of breeding equipment technology, and more specifically, to a device for preventing foot rot in sheep in breeding farms. Background Technology
[0002] Foot rot is a common and highly contagious disease in ruminants, especially in sheep farming. Its high morbidity rate is mainly caused by sheep hooves being exposed to damp, unclean environments for extended periods, leading to infection by pathogens such as bacteria and fungi. Bacteroides arthritidis is the primary pathogen causing foot rot. Foot rot not only affects the health and productivity of sheep but also causes economic losses to farms. Therefore, preventative measures against foot rot are necessary for sheep in livestock farms.
[0003] Traditional prevention and treatment of foot rot mainly rely on manual cleaning, disinfection and drying of the hooves. This method is not only time-consuming and laborious, but the cleaning effect is often limited by the experience and meticulousness of the operator, making it difficult to ensure the continuity and uniformity of cleaning. In addition, manual operation is prone to hoof injury due to negligence or improper operation, which further increases the risk of infection. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a device for preventing foot rot in sheep in livestock farms, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a device for preventing foot rot in sheep farms, comprising a first slope, a clear water pool fixedly connected to one side of the first slope, a first support net movably connected inside the clear water pool, a cleaning component at the bottom of the first support net, limit grooves on both inner walls of the clear water pool, a first protective shell fixedly connected to both sides of the clear water pool, two drying components on one side of the clear water pool, a disinfection pool between the two drying components, a second slope on one side of one of the drying components, an outer shell fixedly connected to both sides of the first and second slopes and at the top of the first protective shell, observation windows on both sides of the outer shell, an inlet pipe connected to one side of the outer shell and at the top of the clear water pool and the disinfection pool, a drain pipe connected to one side of the clear water pool and the disinfection pool, and valves on one side of both the inlet pipe and the drain pipe.
[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0007] The cleaning assembly includes two mounting plates fixedly connected to both sides of the clear water pool and located inside two first protective shells. A motor is mounted on the top of each of the two mounting plates. A first synchronous pulley is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A second synchronous pulley is provided on one side of the first synchronous pulley. One side of the second synchronous pulley is rotatably connected to the first protective shell.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] Both the first and second synchronous pulleys are externally meshed with synchronous transmission belts. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to one side of both the first and second synchronous pulleys. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the clear water tank and is fixedly connected to a first connecting plate. A second connecting plate is rotatably connected to one side of the first connecting plate, and a cleaning brush is hinged to one side of the second connecting plate.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] Both sides of the cleaning brush are slidably connected to the limiting groove. The cleaning brush is matched with the first support net. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a support plate located outside and inside the clear water tank. The support plate is fixedly connected to the clear water tank.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The drying assembly includes two drying boxes fixedly connected to both sides of the disinfection pool, and a second support net is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two drying boxes.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] Both drying boxes are fixedly connected to a second protective shell on both sides. The second protective shell is fixedly connected to the outer shell. Both drying boxes are connected to two fans on both sides.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] Two heating plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second protective shell and to one side of the two fans. One side of each of the two drying boxes is fixedly connected to the clear water pool and the second slope, respectively.
[0018] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] By setting up a cleaning component, the motor drives the first synchronous pulley, the second synchronous pulley, and the synchronous transmission belt to drive the rotating shaft, the first connecting plate, the second connecting plate, and the cleaning brush to clean the bottom of the sheep's hoof. This effectively cleans the bottom of the sheep's hoof, removes dirt and impurities, and greatly improves cleaning efficiency and effect, laying a good foundation for subsequent disinfection and drying steps. The limiting groove limits the cleaning brush, so that the limiting brush can only move left and right, ensuring the continuity and uniformity of the cleaning process.
[0020] By setting up a drying component, hot air can be quickly generated and applied directly to the sheep's hooves through the mesh of the second support net, rapidly removing moisture and ensuring that the hooves reach a dry state in a short time. This effectively reduces the risk of bacterial growth caused by the hooves being in a damp state for a long time, thereby further reducing the probability of foot rot. Attached Figure Description

[0030] In some embodiments, according to Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, the cleaning assembly includes two mounting plates 12 fixedly connected to both sides of the clear water tank 2 and located inside the two first protective shells 5. A motor 13 is mounted on the top of each of the two mounting plates 12. A first synchronous pulley 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 13. A second synchronous pulley 15 is provided on one side of the first synchronous pulley 14. One side of the second synchronous pulley 15 is rotatably connected to the first protective shell 5. A synchronous transmission belt 16 is meshed with the outside of both the first synchronous pulley 14 and the second synchronous pulley 15. A rotating shaft 17 is fixedly connected to one side of both the first synchronous pulley 14 and the second synchronous pulley 15. One end of the rotating shaft 17 passes through the clear water tank 2 and is fixedly connected to a first connecting plate 18. A second connecting plate 19 is rotatably connected to one side of the first connecting plate 18. A cleaning brush 20 is hinged to one side of the second connecting plate 19. Both sides of the cleaning brush 20 are slidably connected to the limiting groove 4. The cleaning brush 20 matches the first support net 3. A support plate 21 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 17 and located inside the clear water tank 2. The support plate 21 is fixedly connected to the clear water tank 2.
[0031] In some embodiments, according to Figure 6 As shown, the drying assembly includes two drying boxes 22 fixedly connected to both sides of the disinfection pool 6. A second support net 23 is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two drying boxes 22. A second protective shell 24 is fixedly connected to both sides of each of the two drying boxes 22.

[0034] After the sheep's hooves are cleaned, the sheep passes through the first drying assembly. The heating plate 26 heats the hooves, and the fan 25 blows the heat generated by the heating plate 26 into the drying chamber 22. The hot air is blown onto the sheep's hooves through the mesh on the second support net 23 to dry them. After drying, the sheep enters the disinfection pool 6, where the disinfectant disinfects the hooves. After disinfection, the sheep passes through the second drying assembly. Similarly, the second drying assembly dries the disinfected hooves to prevent them from being damp for a long time.
[0035] When it is necessary to replace the liquid in the clear water tank 3 and the disinfection tank 6, the liquid is discharged by opening the valves on the inlet pipe 10 and the drain pipe 11.
