Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal medical technology, and in particular to a limb limiter for an animal examination table. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of veterinary medicine, various examinations and surgical procedures are important means of ensuring animal health and treating diseases. During these procedures, ensuring the stability and safety of the animal is of paramount importance. The animal examination table is an important piece of equipment for performing these procedures, providing a stable working platform that allows veterinarians to conveniently examine and treat animals.

[0003] However, existing limb restraints on animal examination tables still have some shortcomings in practical applications. For example, some restraints use a simple strap design, which can fix the animal's limbs, but the length of the strap is often not adjustable. In addition, some restraints are not flexible enough in design and use; their positions are fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the size of the animal and the fixed position. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as insufficient design and use, fixed positions, and inability to be adjusted according to animal size and fixed location, and to propose a limb limiter for an animal examination table.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A limb limiter for an animal examination table includes an examination table, the examination table including a base, a worktable fixedly disposed on the top of the base, and a reinforcing ring fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the base;

[0007] Four limiters are used to limit and fix the animal's limbs. The limiters are located on one side of the workbench. Each limiter includes a U-shaped frame and a rotating cylinder rotatably disposed inside the U-shaped frame. A connecting strip is fixedly disposed on one side of the U-shaped frame. A T-shaped round shaft is fixedly disposed at one end of the connecting strip. A T-shaped groove is opened at the bottom of the workbench. One end of the T-shaped round shaft is located inside the T-shaped groove.

[0008] In one possible design, the limiter further includes a connecting belt wrapped around the outer wall of the rotating drum, one end of which is fixedly provided with a mounting plate, and the surface of the mounting plate is provided with a constraint band.

[0009] In one possible design, the limiter further includes a polygonal rod, the inside of the rotating cylinder has a polygonal cavity, the polygonal rod is slidably disposed inside the polygonal cavity, and one end of the polygonal rod slidably extends into the inside of the U-shaped frame.

[0010] In one possible design, a connecting round rod is fixedly provided at one end of the polygonal rod, and one end of the connecting round rod passes through the rotating cylinder and the U-shaped frame. A circular plate is rotatably provided at the end of the connecting round rod located outside the U-shaped frame.

[0011] In one possible design, the outer wall of the workbench is provided with multiple side slots, and the other end of the polygonal rod is fixedly provided with a horizontal insertion rod, one end of which passes through the U-shaped frame and cooperates with the side slots.

[0012] In one possible design, a compression spring is fitted on the outer wall of the connecting rod, and the two ends of the compression spring are respectively fixed to one side of the inner wall of the polygonal cavity and one end of the polygonal rod.

[0013] In one possible design, the U-shaped frame has a sliding cavity inside, and an inclined block is slidably arranged inside the sliding cavity. A vertical insertion rod is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the inclined block. The top of the reinforcing ring has multiple bottom slots. One end of the vertical insertion rod slides through the U-shaped frame and cooperates with the bottom slot. The outer wall of the horizontal insertion rod has a groove, and one inner wall of the groove is set as an inclined surface. The inclined surface cooperates with the inclined block. A second compression spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the vertical insertion rod, and the two ends of the second compression spring are respectively fixedly arranged at the bottom of the inclined block and the bottom inner wall of the sliding cavity.

[0014] In this application, during specific use, after the animal is moved to the top of the workbench, the circular plate is pulled. The circular plate moves the connecting rod, which in turn moves the polygonal rod, which in turn moves the horizontal insertion rod, causing the horizontal insertion rod to disengage from the side slot. At this point, the U-shaped frame can be released, allowing it to move freely along the T-shaped slide, thus adjusting its position according to the animal's size. Furthermore, when the circular plate is pulled, once one end of the polygonal rod disengages from the U-shaped frame and retracts into the rotating cylinder, the cylinder can rotate. At this point, the connecting strap wrapped around the outer wall of the rotating cylinder can be removed, allowing the restraint strap to be moved to the side of the animal's limbs for binding. The device is limited in position, and then the polygonal rod is reset by the first compression spring. When one end of the polygonal rod is reinserted into the U-shaped frame, the rotating drum will not be able to rotate, and the connecting belt will not be able to be pulled out for fixation. When the polygonal rod drives the horizontal insertion rod to reset, the horizontal insertion rod will also be reinserted into the corresponding side slot, fixing the U-shaped frame and thus limiting the limiter itself. At the same time, when the horizontal insertion rod is reset, the inclined surface of the concave surface will touch the inclined surface of the inclined block, thereby pushing the inclined block to move downward. The inclined block drives the vertical insertion rod to move downward, so that the bottom end of the vertical insertion rod is inserted into the corresponding bottom slot, thereby further increasing the fixation of the limiter itself.

[0015] In this utility model, the limb limiter of the animal examination table can be moved to any position through the T-shaped slide groove and the T-shaped round shaft next to the limiter, so that the limiter can be tied and limited according to the size of the animal and the orientation of the limbs, which is more flexible and can better meet the actual needs.

[0016] In this utility model, the limb limiter of the animal examination table can simultaneously bind and limit the animal's limbs, fix the rotating drum with connecting straps, and provide double fixation after movement, thereby ensuring stability.

[0017] In this invention, the device can be adjusted according to the size of the animal, its fixed position, and the orientation of its limbs during use, thereby greatly increasing its adaptability and solving the problem of the single limiting mechanism of the existing inspection table, thus better meeting the needs in practice.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Reference Figure 1 A limb limiter includes: a base 4, a worktable 1 fixedly disposed on the top of the base 4, and a reinforcing ring 2 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the base 4.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 Four limiters are installed on the side of the workbench 1 to limit and fix the animal's limbs. Each limiter includes a U-shaped frame 3 and a rotating cylinder 17 rotatably disposed inside the U-shaped frame 3. A connecting strip 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped frame 3, and a T-shaped round shaft 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting strip 6. A T-shaped slide groove 5 is opened at the bottom of the workbench 1, and one end of the T-shaped round shaft 7 is located inside the T-shaped slide groove 5, so that the U-shaped frame 3 can move along the T-shaped slide groove 5 to a certain extent, thereby adjusting the position of the limiter.

[0028] Reference Figure 5 Furthermore, the limiter also includes a connecting belt 21 wrapped around the outer wall of the rotating drum 17. One end of the connecting belt 21 is fixedly provided with a mounting plate 20, and the surface of the mounting plate 20 is provided with a restraint belt 19. By rotating the rotating drum 17, the connecting belt 21 can be tightened or loosened, thereby fixing the animal's limbs through the restraint belt 19.

[0029] This application can be used in the field of animal medicine, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] refer to Figure 3-4 An improvement upon Embodiment 1: A limb restraint for an animal examination table, applied in the animal medical field. To secure the rotating cylinder 17 and the U-shaped frame 3, the restraint also includes a polygonal rod 13. The rotating cylinder 17 has a polygonal cavity inside, and the polygonal rod 13 is slidably disposed within the polygonal cavity, with one end of the polygonal rod 13 extending slidably into the interior of the U-shaped frame 3. The engagement of the polygonal rod 13 with the polygonal cavity restricts the free rotation of the rotating cylinder 17; the rotating cylinder 17 can only rotate after the polygonal rod 13 disengages from the interior of the U-shaped frame 3.

[0032] A connecting round rod 14 is fixedly installed at one end of the polygonal rod 13, and one end of the connecting round rod 14 passes through the rotating cylinder 17 and the U-shaped frame 3. A circular plate 15 is rotatably installed at the end of the connecting round rod 14 located outside the U-shaped frame 3, and the movement of the polygonal rod 13 is achieved by controlling the circular plate 15.

[0033] In order to fix the limiter on the worktable 1, multiple side slots 8 are provided on the outer wall of the worktable 1. A horizontal insertion rod 18 is fixedly provided at the other end of the polygonal rod 13. One end of the horizontal insertion rod 18 can pass through the U-shaped frame 3 and cooperate with the side slots 8, thereby fixing the limiter on the worktable 1.

[0034] Specifically, after the animal is moved to the top of the workbench 1, the circular plate 15 is pulled. The circular plate 15 moves the connecting rod 14, which in turn moves the polygonal rod 13. The polygonal rod 13 then moves the horizontal insertion rod 18, causing it to disengage from the side slot 8. At this point, the U-shaped frame 3 can be released from its fixed position, allowing it to move freely along the T-shaped slide 5, thus adjusting its position according to the animal's size. Furthermore, when the circular plate 15 is pulled, once one end of the polygonal rod 13 disengages from the U-shaped frame 3 and retracts into the rotating cylinder 17, the rotating cylinder 17 can then... When rotated, the connecting strap 21 wrapped around the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 17 can be removed, thereby moving the restraint strap 19 to the side of the animal's limb for binding and limiting its position. Then, the polygonal rod 13 is reset by the first compression spring 16. When one end of the polygonal rod 13 is reinserted into the U-shaped frame 3, the rotating cylinder 17 will not be able to rotate, and the connecting strap 21 will not be able to be removed for fixation. When the polygonal rod 13 drives the horizontal insertion rod 18 to reset, the horizontal insertion rod 18 will also be reinserted into the corresponding side slot 8, fixing the U-shaped frame 3, thereby limiting the position of the limiter itself.

[0035] The U-shaped frame 3 also has a sliding cavity 10 inside, and an inclined block 9 is slidably arranged inside the sliding cavity 10. A vertical insertion rod 12 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the inclined block 9. The top of the reinforcing ring 2 has multiple bottom slots 11. One end of the vertical insertion rod 12 can slide through the U-shaped frame 3 and cooperate with the bottom slots 11, thereby further fixing the U-shaped frame 3. The outer wall of the horizontal insertion rod 18 has a groove, and one side of the inner wall of the groove is set as an inclined surface, which cooperates with the inclined block 9. A second compression spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the vertical insertion rod 12, and the two ends of the second compression spring are respectively fixedly arranged at the bottom of the inclined block 9 and the bottom inner wall of the sliding cavity 10.

[0036] Specifically, when the horizontal insertion rod 18 is reset, the inclined surface of the concave surface will touch the inclined surface of the inclined block 9, thereby pushing the inclined block 9 to move downward. The inclined block 9 drives the vertical insertion rod 12 to move downward, so that the bottom end of the vertical insertion rod 12 is inserted into the corresponding bottom slot 11, thereby further increasing the fixed state of the limiter itself.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
