Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of animal transportation technology, specifically a care spray device for animal transportation. Background Technology

[0002] Animals raised on farms need to be transported to various locations for sale after they grow up. The most common mode of transport is road transport, where animals are carried in transport vehicles. The best seasons for transporting beef cattle are spring and autumn, when they experience less stress compared to other seasons. Summer transport causes more heat stress. During transport, animals need care to ensure stability. Some care sprays can help animals feel comfortable and relaxed during transport. These sprays usually have specific properties that can help reduce anxiety, stress, and unease in animals. The sprays may contain sedative ingredients, such as plant extracts or medicinal components. Separating animals can help reduce their anxiety and stress, and it can also reduce social conflict and competition among them, especially in crowded transport environments. This is very helpful in reducing animal stress and anxiety. After the cattle are safely unloaded from the vehicle, sick cattle need to be identified, isolated, and kept in good condition. They should be given intensive treatment to help them recover their strength as soon as possible. Because the animals have been in a new environment for a long time during transport, they experience stress, anxiety, and anxiety. At the same time, the animals are less controllable, which makes it difficult to screen them after unloading and correct transport problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a nursing spray device for animal transportation, which reduces the stress and discomfort of animals during transportation, further reduces the stress and discomfort during transportation, and allows for timely treatment of problematic animals based on the detected status after transportation. Furthermore, it allows for the inspection of the transportation stagnation area based on the animal's position on the plug storage device, which helps to correct transportation problems and effectively solves the problems in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A care spray device for animal transportation includes a transport vehicle body with a loading platform for assisting animals in entering and exiting the vehicle. The device is characterized by having a first care spray group inside the transport vehicle body for spraying an auxiliary inducer into the transport vehicle compartment. The transport vehicle body also includes three induction zones corresponding to the first care spray group. Animals are placed in the three induction zones, gradually increasing their contact time with the transport vehicle body to familiarize them with it. A second care spray group inside the transport vehicle body is used to control the animal's position. The second care spray group includes a plug-type storage device containing a mood-regulating spray, a limiting guide rail, and a touch-actuator. A front windshield detection group corresponding to the touch-actuator is located at the rear of the transport vehicle body to detect the animal's condition after unloading and to check for transportation problems.

[0006] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the first nursing spray assembly includes a spray storage unit and a first spray dispensing unit. The spray storage unit is fixedly connected to the transport vehicle body, and the first spray dispensing unit is sealed to the outside of the spray storage unit. The first spray dispensing unit has a valve for controlling the spray to be sprayed into the induction area. The spray in the spray storage unit is made by mixing water, fish meal, corn, wheat, minerals, and some foods that animals like. Before transportation, the animals enter the transport vehicle body through the unloading panel of the vehicle compartment, allowing the animals to enter in sequence. By placing the animals in three induction areas, the contact time with the transport vehicle body is gradually increased, allowing them to become familiar with the transport vehicle body. This process can reduce the animals' stress, anxiety, and stress. The animals gradually adapt to the new environment from different areas of the vehicle, thereby reducing the stress and discomfort during later transportation. By opening the first spray dispensing unit, the auxiliary spray is sprayed into the induction area for use.

[0007] As a further aspect of the present invention: the three induction zones are respectively located on the transport vehicle body near the unloading plate of the carriage, away from the unloading plate of the carriage, and in the middle position. The animal enters the transport vehicle body sequentially and passes through the three induction zones. The animal can enter from one area of ​​the transport vehicle body to another area, that is, the animal is located in three induction zones respectively, gradually increasing the contact time with the transport vehicle body, guiding the simulation of the animal's transportation process, which helps the animal to tolerate the environment relatively easily.

[0008] As a further aspect of the invention: the mood-regulating spray inside the tethered storage device is made from a mixture of natural herbs, essential oils, glycerin, water, and some soothing and calming agents. A second spray nozzle is fixedly installed at the top of the tethered storage device. During transportation, the mood-regulating spray can be sprayed through the second spray nozzle to further reduce stress and discomfort during transport. The spray from the second nozzle further calms and soothes the animal, helping to alleviate tension. The tethered storage device allows for control of the animal's position, ensuring animal safety while providing sufficient freedom and comfort, thus improving stability during animal transportation.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the limiting guide rail is fixedly connected to the transport vehicle body, and the tethered agent storage device is slidably connected to the limiting guide rail. The limiting guide rail has a pin for limiting the position of the tethered agent storage device. The number of tethered agent storage devices is several and they are evenly distributed on the limiting guide rail to form an animal holding transport area. The tethered agent storage device has a tethering groove. After the animal becomes familiar with the environment, it can be tethered to the tethered agent storage device according to its position. When entering the transport vehicle body, the animal is detected by a weighing sensor. At this time, the animal is in a fixed area within the transport vehicle body. The animal is in a fixed holding area within the transport vehicle body. If the animal in this area frequently has problems after multiple transports, the position of the tethered agent storage device and the spraying of the second spray nozzle can be checked to correct the transport problem.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the front windshield detection group includes a front windshield component and a weight-adding component. The front windshield component has a face-facing detection cavity at its front end for detecting the animal's breathing status. The weight-adding component is fixed to the bottom end of the front windshield component, and the front windshield component is hinged to the transport vehicle body. When the animal is located in front of the front windshield component with its face facing the face-facing detection cavity, the face-facing detection cavity can be set to an open state, which can surround the breathing position of the face, so that the gas breathed by the animal can enter the face-facing detection cavity for sensing. By detecting the gas and frequency of the breath, animals with abnormal breathing status can be identified. The front windshield component opens, and the weight-adding component assists in opening, and is parallel to the unloading plate of the vehicle body to facilitate the passage of the animal.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the touch drive component is slidably connected within the limiting guide rail component. One end of the limiting guide rail component is fixedly connected to a combined connecting component, and one end of the combined connecting component is fixedly connected to a guide component. A positioning component is provided on one side of the guide component. Both the guide component and the positioning component have mutually cooperating guide angles. Both the guide component and the positioning component slide within the limiting guide rail component. A limiting component for limiting the position of the front baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning component. After the dwell time at one end is detected, the plug-in storage component continues to move on the limiting guide rail component and can contact the touch drive component, driving the combined connecting component to move within the limiting guide rail component. This allows the guide component to contact the positioning component and press it into position, thereby moving the limiting component away from the position of the front baffle, opening the front baffle. The weight-adding component assists in opening and is parallel to the unloading plate component of the carriage, facilitating the control of the position of the front baffle and making it convenient for detection and treatment of the nursing spray.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: the unloading panel of the carriage has a weighing sensor for detecting the weight of the animal. The weight information measured by the weighing sensor includes the weight of the animal entering the transport vehicle and the weight after being unloaded from the transport vehicle. The front panel covers the outside of the weighing sensor. When the animal passes through the unloading panel of the carriage, its condition is weighed, and the weights before and after are compared to identify animals with abnormal conditions. Animals with problems are dealt with in a timely manner based on the detected condition.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Before transport, animals are placed in three different induction zones, gradually increasing their contact time with the transport vehicle to familiarize them with it. This reduces stress, anxiety, and other adverse effects. Animals gradually adapt to the new environment from different locations within the vehicle, alleviating stress and discomfort during transport. During transport, a mood-regulating spray can be applied using a second spray nozzle to further reduce stress and discomfort. After transport, animals are unloaded from the transport vehicle one by one near the front panel. Their breathing is monitored by approaching the face detection chamber, and the tampon storage device is positioned facing outwards within the transport vehicle. The weight after transport is also recorded. Animals with problems are addressed promptly based on their condition, and the location of the animal on the tampon storage device helps identify areas of transport obstruction and facilitates correction of transport issues.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment of the invention, a care spray device for animal transportation includes a transport vehicle body 1, which has a loading platform 2 for assisting animals in entering and exiting the vehicle. The device is characterized by having a first care spray group 3 inside the transport vehicle body 1 for spraying an auxiliary inducer into the transport vehicle compartment. The transport vehicle body 1 also has three induction zones 4 corresponding to the first care spray group 3. Animals are placed in the three induction zones 4, gradually increasing their contact time with the transport vehicle body 1 to familiarize them with it. The transport vehicle body 1 also has a second care spray group 5 for controlling the animal's position. The second care spray group 5 includes a plug-type storage device 51 containing a mood-regulating spray, a limiting guide rail 53, and a touch-drive device 55. A front windshield detection group 6 corresponding to the touch-drive device 55 is located at the rear of the transport vehicle body 1 to detect the animal's condition after unloading and to check for transportation problems.

[0022] In this implementation plan: Before and after transportation, the unloading panel 2 of the cargo compartment is opened, so that the unloading panel 2 is located at the rear of the transport vehicle body 1 in an inclined state, which facilitates the entry and exit of animals into and out of the transport vehicle body 1. Before transportation, animals enter the transport vehicle body 1 through the unloading panel 2, and the animals enter one by one. By placing the animals in three induction areas 4, the contact time with the transport vehicle body 1 is gradually increased, allowing the animals to become familiar with the transport vehicle body 1. This process can reduce the animals' stress, anxiety, and stress, and allow them to gradually adapt to the new environment from different areas inside the vehicle, thereby reducing stress and discomfort during the later transportation. The first spray nozzle 32 is sealed to the outside of the spray storage unit 31. The spray in the spray storage unit 31 is made of water, fish meal, corn, wheat, minerals, and some foods that the animals like. By opening the first spray nozzle 32, the auxiliary spray is sprayed into the induction area 4 for use. The three induction zones 4 are located on the transport vehicle 1 at the position near the unloading plate 2, the position away from the unloading plate 2, and the middle position, respectively. The animal enters the transport vehicle 1 in sequence and passes through the three induction zones 4. The animal can move from one area of ​​the transport vehicle 1 to another area. That is, the animal is located in the three induction zones 4, gradually increasing the contact time with the transport vehicle 1, guiding the animal to simulate the transport process, which helps the animal to tolerate the environment relatively easily.

[0023] After the animal becomes familiar with its environment, it can be tethered to the tethered storage device 51 according to its location. Upon entering the transport vehicle 1, the animal is detected by the weighing sensor 21, indicating its fixed position within the transport vehicle 1. During transport, a mood-regulating spray can be applied via the second spray nozzle 52 to further reduce stress and discomfort. The mood-regulating spray inside the tethered storage device 51 is a mixture of natural herbs, essential oils, glycerin, water, and other soothing and calming ingredients. The second spray nozzle 52 is fixedly installed at the top of the tethered storage device 51. The spray stored in the tethered storage device 51 can be pumped out and sprayed through the second spray nozzle 52 to further calm and soothe the animal, helping to alleviate tension. Controlling the animal's position via the tethered storage device 51 ensures animal safety while providing sufficient freedom and comfort, improving stability during animal transport.

[0024] After transport, animals can be unloaded from the transport vehicle 1 one by one near the front stop 61, and their breathing status can be detected near the face detection chamber 611. The plug storage device 51 is controlled in the outward position of the transport vehicle 1, and the weight after transport is detected. Animals with problems are treated in a timely manner based on the detected status. Moving the plug storage device 51 on the restraint guide 53 makes it easier to control the position of the animal. At the same time, the plug storage device 51 facing the outside of the transport vehicle 1 makes it easy to replenish the spray in the plug storage device 51 and restrain the animal again. When the animal is in front of the front stop 61, with its face facing the face detection chamber 611, the face detection chamber 611 can be set to an open state to surround the breathing position of the face, so that the breathing gas of the animal enters the face detection chamber 611 for sensing. The gas and frequency of breathing are detected to identify animals with abnormal breathing status. After a period of time, the tethered storage component 51 continues to move on the limiting guide rail 53, making contact with the contact drive component 55. This causes the combined connecting component 54 to move within the limiting guide rail 53, allowing the guide component 56 to contact the positioning component 57 and press against it. This moves the limiting component 58 away from the position of the front stop component 61, opening the front stop component 61. The weight-adding component 62 assists in opening the front stop component 61, making it parallel to the unloading plate component 2 of the transport vehicle. At this time, the animal passes through the unloading plate component 2 of the transport vehicle, and its condition is weighed. The weight information measured by the weighing sensor 21 includes the weight of the animal entering the transport vehicle 1 and the weight after being unloaded from the transport vehicle 1. By comparing the weights before and after, animals with abnormal conditions are identified. Animals with problems are dealt with promptly based on the detected condition, and the position of the animal on the tethered storage component 51 is used to check the transport delay area, which helps to correct transport problems. Due to the restriction effect of the plug storage device 51, the animal is kept in a fixed area on the transport vehicle 1. If the animal in this area frequently has problems after multiple transports, the position of the plug storage device 51 and the spraying of the second spray nozzle 52 can be checked to correct the transport problems.

[0025] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Before and after transportation, the unloading panel 2 of the cargo compartment is opened, so that the unloading panel 2 is located at the rear of the transport vehicle body 1 in an inclined state, which facilitates the entry and exit of animals from the transport vehicle body 1. Before transportation, animals enter the transport vehicle body 1 through the unloading panel 2, and the animals enter one by one. By placing the animals in three induction areas 4, the contact time with the transport vehicle body 1 is gradually increased, allowing the animals to become familiar with the transport vehicle body 1. This process reduces the animals' stress, anxiety, and stress, and allows them to gradually adapt to the new environment from different areas inside the vehicle, thereby reducing stress and discomfort during the later transportation. The first spray nozzle 32 is sealed to the outside of the spray storage unit 31. By opening the first spray nozzle 32, auxiliary spray is sprayed into the induction area 4 for use. The three induction zones 4 are located on the transport vehicle 1, near the unloading plate 2, away from the unloading plate 2, and in the middle, respectively. Animals enter the transport vehicle 1 sequentially through the three induction zones 4, moving from one area to another within the transport vehicle 1. This gradually increases the animal's contact time with the transport vehicle 1, simulating the transport process and helping the animal to tolerate the environment more easily. After becoming familiar with the environment, the animal can be tethered to the tethered storage device 51 according to its position. Upon entering the transport vehicle 1, the animal is detected by the weighing sensor 21, indicating its fixed position within the transport vehicle 1. During transport, a mood-regulating spray can be applied via the second spray nozzle 52 to further reduce stress and discomfort. The mood-regulating spray inside the tethered storage unit 51 is made from a mixture of natural herbs, essential oils, glycerin, water, and other soothing and calming ingredients. A second spray nozzle 52 is fixedly installed at the top of the tethered storage unit 51. The spray stored in the tethered storage unit 51 can be pumped out and sprayed through the second spray nozzle 52 to further calm and soothe the animal, helping to relieve tension. After transportation, the animal can be unloaded from the transport vehicle 1 by approaching the front guard 61 and placed near the face detection chamber 611 to check its breathing status. The tethered storage unit 51 is controlled in the outward-facing position of the transport vehicle 1, and its weight after transportation is detected. Animals with problems are treated promptly based on the detected status. Moving the tethered storage unit 51 on the restraint guide 53 facilitates the control of the animal's position. At the same time, the tethered storage unit 51 facing outwards from the transport vehicle 1 facilitates the replenishment of the spray in the tethered storage unit 51 and the next restraint of the animal. When the animal is positioned in front of the front guard 61 with its face facing the face detection chamber 611, the face detection chamber 611 can be set to an open state, which can surround the breathing position of the face, so that the breathing gas of the animal enters the face detection chamber 611 for sensing, detecting the breathing gas and frequency, and identifying animals with abnormal breathing conditions.After a period of time, the tethered storage component 51 continues to move on the limiting guide rail 53, making contact with the contact drive component 55. This causes the combined connecting component 54 to move within the limiting guide rail 53, allowing the guide component 56 to contact the positioning component 57 and press into place. This moves the limiting component 58 away from the position of the front stop component 61, opening the front stop component 61. The weight-adding component 62 assists in opening the front stop component 61, making it parallel to the unloading plate component 2 of the carriage. At this time, the animal passes through the unloading plate component 2 of the carriage, and its condition is weighed. The weight before and after is compared to identify animals with abnormal conditions. Animals with problems are dealt with promptly based on their condition, and the position of the animal on the tethered storage component 51 is used to check the transportation delay area, which helps to correct transportation problems.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
