Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and in particular to a licking brick fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of economy and technology and the transformation of breeding concepts, intensive, standardized, and large-scale breeding models have become the major trend in my country's sheep breeding industry. Under large-scale pen-raising, sheep almost entirely rely on artificial supply of trace elements. Nutritional licks, rich in calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chlorine, iron, zinc, iodine, selenium, cobalt, and other substances, are generally made into cubes or cylinders with holes in the center. Their main function is to balance the nutrients in the daily feed, supplement deficient mineral elements, improve feed utilization, promote growth, and prevent disease.

[0003] Currently, the following problems exist in the use of lick bricks: 1. Placing lick bricks directly on feed troughs or the ground makes them susceptible to moisture deterioration and contamination by soil or feces. 2. Hanging lick bricks from the fence using ropes or wires results in insecure fixation, preventing sheep from licking them evenly and causing them to fall prematurely due to uneven pressure. Using wires for fixation can easily scratch sheep's faces and significantly lowers the living environment in the pen. 3. Existing lick brick fixing devices only expose half of the lick brick surface for sheep to lick. After a period of use, repeated licking of one side can easily cause the lick brick to break and fall. 4. Lick bricks placed in open-air exercise areas or outdoors are susceptible to rain and snow, leading to moisture deterioration. As the lick bricks become soft and dehydrated, sheep may overeat them, causing serious harm to their health. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a licking brick fixing device, which fixes the licking brick firmly and is not easy to fall off, so that livestock can lick multiple surfaces of the licking brick evenly and prevent saliva from accumulating and soaking the licking brick.

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

[0006] This invention provides a licking brick fixing device, including a base, a central rod, a reinforcing rod, a limiting plate, a locking component, a tray, and a shielding assembly. The base is fixed to the bottom of the central rod, and the tray is fixedly sleeved on the central rod and located above the base. The central rod has a hollow structure, and the tray is used to place the licking brick. The limiting plate is fixed to the top of the reinforcing rod, and the reinforcing rod is used to be sleeved inside the central rod. The bottom of the reinforcing rod extends through the central rod to the outside and is fitted with the locking component. The limiting plate is used to limit the top of the licking brick. A liquid guiding cavity is formed between the reinforcing rod and the central rod, and the shielding assembly is installed on the top of the reinforcing rod.

[0007] Preferably, the base is provided with multiple threaded holes.

[0008] Preferably, the base includes two bottom rods respectively disposed on both sides of the central rod. The bottom rod includes a horizontal rod and a vertical rod fixed to one end of the horizontal rod. The bottom of the vertical rod is pointed. The end of the horizontal rod away from the vertical rod is fixed to the outer wall of the central rod. Both the horizontal rod and the vertical rod are provided with threaded holes.

[0009] Preferably, the tray is fixedly sleeved on the top of the central rod.

[0010] Preferably, the tray includes a base plate and an annular baffle fixedly sleeved on the outer edge of the base plate, and the annular baffle is located on the upper part of the base plate.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting plate is a circular ring plate and is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the top of the reinforcing rod.

[0012] Preferably, the locking component is a nut, and the outer wall at the bottom of the reinforcing rod is provided with an external thread that matches the nut.

[0013] Preferably, the reinforcing rod has a hollow structure, and the inner wall at the top of the reinforcing rod is provided with internal threads.

[0016] The present invention achieves the following technical effects compared to the prior art:

[0017] The licking brick fixing device provided by this invention includes a base, a central rod, a reinforcing rod, a limiting plate, a locking component, a tray, and a shielding component. The base is fixed to the bottom of the central rod, and the tray is fixedly sleeved on the central rod and located above the base. The central rod has a hollow structure, and the limiting plate is fixed to the top of the reinforcing rod. The reinforcing rod is used to fit inside the central rod, forming a liquid guiding cavity between the reinforcing rod and the central rod. The shielding component is installed on the top of the reinforcing rod. The licking brick fixing device of this invention is applicable to licking bricks currently sold on the market, and can be used simply by placing the licking brick on it. By placing the licking brick on the tray, it avoids deliquescence and contamination by soil or feces. By fixing the licking brick with this device, five faces of a cubic licking brick or two faces of a cylindrical licking brick are exposed for sheep to lick, allowing sheep to lick evenly and preventing uneven pressure from repeated licking of one face of the licking brick, which could cause it to fall off. At the same time, it solves the problem of easily scratching the sheep's face, improving the feeding environment in the pen. By incorporating reinforcing rods, even if one side of the licking block becomes connected to the central circular hole due to repeated licking by sheep, it will not fall off. Saliva produced by the sheep while licking can drain away through the central hole and drainage chamber, preventing saliva buildup and soaking of the licking block. The protective components prevent rain and snow from damaging the licking block, avoiding deliquescence that could lead to overgrazing by sheep. In summer, the components also provide shade while the sheep are licking the licking block. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a licking brick fixing device 100, including a base, a central rod 2, a reinforcing rod 3, a limiting plate 4, a locking component 5, a tray 6, and a shielding assembly. The base is fixed to the bottom of the central rod 2, and the tray 6 is fixedly sleeved on the central rod 2 and located above the base. The central rod 2 has a hollow structure, and the tray 6 is used to place the licking brick 12. The limiting plate 4 is fixed to the top of the reinforcing rod 3, and the reinforcing rod 3 is used to sleeve inside the central rod 2. The bottom of the reinforcing rod 3 passes through the central rod 2 and extends to the outside, where the locking component 5 is installed. The limiting plate 4 is used to limit the top of the licking brick 12. A liquid guiding cavity 10 is formed between the reinforcing rod 3 and the central rod 2. The shielding assembly is installed on the top of the reinforcing rod 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, the shielding assembly is detachably installed on the top of the reinforcing rod 3. In use, the licking brick fixing device 100 is fixed by the base, the licking brick 12 is placed on the tray 6, and the reinforcing rod 3 passes through the circular hole in the center of the licking brick 12 and the center rod 2 from top to bottom. The locking component 5 is installed at the bottom of the reinforcing rod 3, so that the limiting plate 4 at the top of the reinforcing rod 3 presses against the top of the licking brick 12 to limit its position. Then the shielding component is installed on the reinforcing rod 3.

[0025] In this embodiment, the base can be fixed to the ground or cement, or to a fence. Specifically, the base is provided with multiple threaded holes 11, through which screws can be used to fix the brick fixing device 100 to the fence.

[0026] Specifically, the base includes two bottom rods 1 respectively disposed on both sides of the central rod 2. Each bottom rod 1 includes a horizontal rod 101 and a vertical rod 102 fixed to one end of the horizontal rod 101. The bottom of the vertical rod 102 is pointed. The end of the horizontal rod 101 away from the vertical rod 102 is fixed to the outer wall of the central rod 2. Both the horizontal rod 101 and the vertical rod 102 are provided with threaded holes 11. In use, the vertical rod 102 can be inserted into the ground to fix the brick fixing device 100. The pointed bottom of the vertical rod 102 makes it easier to insert into the ground.

[0027] In this specific embodiment, the tray 6 is fixedly sleeved on the top of the central rod 2.

[0028] Specifically, the tray 6 includes a base plate 601 and an annular baffle 602 fixedly sleeved on the outer edge of the base plate 601. The annular baffle 602 is located on the upper part of the base plate 601. By setting the annular baffle 602 to limit the circumferential movement of the licking brick 12, the licking brick 12 is installed more firmly.

[0029] In this specific embodiment, the limiting plate 4 is a circular plate and is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the top of the reinforcing rod 3.

[0030] In this specific embodiment, the locking component 5 is a nut, and the outer wall of the bottom of the reinforcing rod 3 is provided with an external thread that matches the nut. The bottom of the reinforcing rod 3 extends to the outside through the central rod 2, and the nut is installed on the external thread of the reinforcing rod 3. Tightening the nut upwards causes the limiting plate 4 to press against the top of the brick licking 12.

[0031] In this specific embodiment, the reinforcing rod 3 is a hollow structure, and the inner wall of the top of the reinforcing rod 3 is provided with internal threads.

[0032] Specifically, the shielding assembly includes a support rod 8 and a shielding plate 7 disposed on the top of the support rod 8. The lower part of the support rod 8 is provided with a threaded connecting rod 9 that matches the internal thread structure. In use, the threaded connecting rod 9 is installed on the internally threaded part at the top of the reinforcing rod 3.

[0033] Specifically, the shielding plate 7 includes a top plate 701 and a tapered plate 702 fixedly sleeved on the outer edge of the top plate 701, with the tapered plate 702 located at the lower part of the top plate 701, and the top plate 701 fixed to the top of the support rod 8.

[0034] The licking brick fixing device 100 in this embodiment is applicable to licking bricks 12 currently sold on the market; the licking brick 12 can be used simply by placing it on the tray 6. By placing the licking brick 12 on the tray 6, it avoids deliquescence and contamination by soil or feces. Fixing the licking brick with this device 100 allows five faces of a cubic licking brick or two faces of a cylindrical licking brick to be exposed for sheep to lick, ensuring even licking and preventing the brick from falling due to uneven pressure from repeated licking of one face. It also solves the problem of easily scratching sheep's faces, improving the feeding environment in the pen. With the reinforcing rod 3, even if one face of the licking brick 12 becomes connected to the central circular hole due to repeated licking by the sheep, it will not fall off. Saliva flowing out during licking can flow away through the central circular hole and the drainage cavity 10, preventing saliva from accumulating and soaking the licking brick 12. By setting up a shielding component, the licking brick 12 can be prevented from being damaged by rain and snow, and the licking brick 12 can be prevented from deliquescing, which would cause sheep to overeat it. In summer, it can also provide shade for sheep when they lick the licking brick 12.
