Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of livestock breeding tools, specifically, it relates to a weaning mask for livestock breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Newborn livestock have extremely low immune function at birth and mainly rely on their mother's milk to obtain a large amount of immunoglobulin antibodies and relatively comprehensive nutrients. However, as the young animals grow, they need to be weaned as soon as possible and begin to eat grass and feed. Otherwise, excessive milk intake and prolonged lactation will have an adverse effect on the young animals' internal organs, especially the digestive system, and will easily cause a large loss of nutrients in the mother, making it difficult for her to come into heat and give birth continuously. Therefore, weaning devices are needed to wean the young animals.

[0003] Existing weaning masks, such as the invention patent with patent application number CN201910020131.9 entitled "A Calf Weaning Mask," belong to the technical field of cattle breeding equipment and address the problems of inconvenience and poor effectiveness of existing weaning devices. The calf weaning mask includes a mask body and needles; the mask body has a fixing structure that secures the mask body to the cow's face; the needles are located in the middle of the front edge of the mask body; the needles include two electric shock needles with a voltage difference between them. This invention pricks the cow, causing her to kick away and prevent the calf from eating, thus causing no harm to the calf; the conductive needles have an insulating layer on the side facing away from the calf's face, overcoming the problem of the calf being pricked when eating or drinking when the conductive needles are fully exposed, ensuring the safety of the weaning mask and improving the comfort of the calf's face.

[0004] When the above-mentioned device is used, it employs methods of electric shock and stabbing to cause pain, which makes the mother animal move away from the young when they approach to nurse. This method has a certain effect on promoting weaning of young animals. However, even with this method, the young animals will still instinctively follow the mother animal and crave to nurse instead of eating pasture, which will affect the growth of the young animals and has certain shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a livestock breeding tool that can overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a weaning mask for livestock breeding, comprising a mask body, wherein the mask body is a semi-conical cylinder cut in the middle, and further comprising:

[0007] The mounting cylinder is fixedly connected to the mask body. The mounting cylinder is installed at the small end of the mask, which is set in the shape of a semi-conical cylinder, and the mounting cylinder is coaxial with the mask body.

[0008] A storage tank is slidably connected inside the mounting cylinder. The storage tank contains water mixed with an edible bittering agent. One end of the storage tank is located outside the mounting cylinder. The storage tank can slide inside the mounting cylinder by external pressure.

[0009] A sucking nipple is attached to one end of the liquid storage tank located on the mounting cylinder, and the sucking nipple facilitates livestock to suck up water containing a bittering agent;

[0010] A storage battery is connected to the mask body, and a second transmission line is connected to the storage battery. The other end of the second transmission line is located inside the liquid storage tank.

[0011] A touch switch is installed on the liquid storage tank. When the liquid storage tank is squeezed and moved into the mounting cylinder, the touch switch will contact the mounting cylinder and send a signal. The battery will generate a current instantaneously, making the water discharged from the nipple electrified.

[0012] To facilitate resetting, a spring is further connected inside the mounting cylinder, and a sliding ring is connected to the spring. The sliding ring has an internal thread, and the liquid storage tank has an external thread that matches the internal thread. The liquid storage tank is then installed inside the mounting cylinder via the threads.

[0013] For ease of installation, a fixing ring is further fixedly connected inside the mounting cylinder, and the end of the spring member away from the sliding ring is connected to the fixing ring.

[0014] To facilitate liquid replenishment, a sealing cap is further connected to the end of the liquid storage tank away from the spring element, and the touch switch is mounted on the sealing cap.

[0015] In order to induce the mother animal to move away through pain, the mounting cylinder is further provided with multiple sets of slots, in which a triangular cone is slidably connected. A movable rod is slidably connected inside the mounting cylinder, and the movable rod is provided with multiple sets of protrusions. When the movable rod moves, the protrusions will push the triangular cone up, causing it to protrude from the slot.

[0016] For ease of use, the triangular pyramid is made of a metal that can be magnetically attracted and is conductive, the movable rod and the protrusion are magnets, and the mounting cylinder is made of a material that is not magnetically attracted.

[0017] To facilitate resetting, a reset spring is further provided inside the mounting cylinder, and one end of the moving rod abuts against the reset spring.

[0018] For ease of use, the end of the moving rod away from the return spring passes through the mounting cylinder, and the moving rod can be pushed by a touch switch on the sealed can lid.

[0019] To further enhance the method of electric shock, a transmission line is connected to the battery, and a connecting ring is connected to the triangular cone. Multiple sets of triangular cones are connected to the transmission line via the connecting ring.

[0020] To facilitate installation, the mask body is further equipped with multiple sets of rope loops.

[0021] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: The present invention uses water containing a bittering agent and a sucking nipple. When the young animal wants to nurse, the sucking nipple is moved by squeezing, and then brought close to the mouth of the young animal. The young animal will naturally suck on the sucking nipple. At this time, the young animal will inhale the water containing the bittering agent, which will make the young animal feel uncomfortable. Over time, the young animal will dislike nursing and will naturally complete the weaning of the young animal without affecting the mother animal's eating. It is easy to use.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0031] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-6 A weaning mask for livestock includes a mask body 1, which is a semi-conical tube cut in half. It also includes: a mounting cylinder 101, fixedly connected to the mask body 1, mounted on the smaller end of the semi-conical mask, and coaxially arranged with the mask body 1; and a liquid storage tank 204, slidably connected inside the mounting cylinder 101, containing water mixed with an edible bittering agent. One end of 4 is located outside the mounting cylinder 101, and the liquid storage tank 204 can slide inside the mounting cylinder 101 by external compression; the sucking nipple 206 is connected to the end of the liquid storage tank 204 located in the mounting cylinder 101, and the sucking nipple 206 facilitates livestock to suck water containing bittering agent; the battery 307 is connected to the mask body 1, and the battery 307 is connected to the transmission line 2 306, the other end of the transmission line 2 306 is located inside the liquid storage tank 204; touch A touch switch 207 is installed on the liquid storage tank 204. When the liquid storage tank 204 is squeezed and moved into the mounting cylinder 101, the touch switch 207 will contact the mounting cylinder 101 and send a signal. The battery 307 will generate a current, making the water discharged from the sucking nipple 206 electrified. A spring 202 is connected inside the mounting cylinder 101. A sliding ring 203 is connected to the spring 202. The sliding ring 203 is provided with an internal thread. The liquid storage tank 204 is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread. The liquid storage tank 204 is installed in the mounting cylinder 101 through the thread. A fixing ring 201 is fixedly connected inside the mounting cylinder 101. The end of the spring 202 away from the sliding ring 203 is connected to the fixing ring 201. A sealing cap 205 is connected to the end of the liquid storage tank 204 away from the spring 202. The touch switch 207 is installed on the sealing cap 205. Multiple sets of rope loops 102 are connected to the face mask body 1.

[0032] The device has a built-in control chip, and the battery 307 supplies power to the chip and the touch switch 207. The sucking nipple 206 in the device has a built-in air tube, which can draw in external air and can only suck out liquid by sucking. The liquid will not be discharged from the nipple naturally.

[0033] When using this device, first fully charge the storage battery 307, and remove the liquid storage tank 204 from the installation cylinder 101 by rotating it in the opposite direction. Then remove the sealed tank cap 205, pour in an appropriate amount of bittering agent, and then fill it with water. Shake it to dissolve the bittering agent. Then reinstall the liquid storage tank 204 into the installation cylinder 101. Prepare some nylon ropes, wrap the nylon ropes around the binding loop 102, and then wrap the other end of the nylon rope around the neck of the young animal. This will cause the semi-conical cylinder of the mask body 1 to be locked onto the mouth and nose of the young animal, thus completing the installation.

[0034] When in use, if a young animal approaches its mother and wants to nurse, due to its small size, it will tilt its head back, positioning the mounting cylinder 101 towards the mother's abdomen. At this time, the liquid storage tank 204 inside the mounting cylinder 101 will come into contact with the mother's abdomen. Since part of the liquid storage tank 204 protrudes outside the mounting cylinder 101, this part will come into contact with the mother's abdomen, causing it to be squeezed and retracted into the mounting cylinder 101. Because the mounting cylinder 101 obstructs the young animal's view, and... Figure 3 As shown, the sucking nipple 206 is initially located inside the mounting cylinder 101, preventing the young animal's mouth and nose from contacting it. When the liquid storage tank 204 moves inward, the spring 202 is compressed, and the sucking nipple 206 moves closer to the young animal's mouth. Since the young animal cannot see the sucking nipple 206, it will mistake it for the mother animal's teat. Therefore, when the young animal's mouth and nose come into contact with the sucking nipple 206, it will unconsciously suck on it. The nipple 206 is sucked into the mouth and suckled. At the same time, the liquid storage tank 204 moves to its limit position, and the touch switch 207 contacts the mounting cylinder 101, sending an electrical signal. The chip receives the signal. At the same time, the suckling of the young animal will draw in the water containing bittering agent from the liquid storage tank 204. When the young animal sucks in the bitter water, it will instinctively reject it and spit out the sucking nipple 206. In this way, the young animal will become uncomfortable with nursing, and over time, it can be weaned.

[0035] If the young animal does not release the nipple 206 after sucking the bitter water, the touch switch 207 will continuously send signals. If this continues for more than 10 seconds, the chip will control the battery 307 to send a momentary current. The current will enter the liquid storage tank 204 through the transmission line 306. The voltage of the momentary current should not exceed 1000V. The current will cause the young animal to feel pain and release its mouth. The nipple 206 will then reset under the action of the spring 202. In this way, the young animal will feel discomfort, and eventually it can be weaned.

[0036] After a period of use, the battery can be recharged. At this time, the 307 battery can be a removable battery for easy and quick replacement.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the mask body 1 is a semi-conical tube cut in the middle. When the young animal is not nursing and is eating grass, it can eat smoothly. Note that the grass should be grass in the pasture and a certain distance from the ground, that is, the livestock are free-range. If the feed is in the feeding trough, the liquid storage tank 204 may be blocked, affecting the young animal's eating. Alternatively, the installation cylinder 101 and the mask body 1 can be changed to be inclined. In the initial state, the liquid storage tank 204 is tilted upwards. When the young animal tilts its head back to nurse, it can still contact the mother's abdomen, thus allowing the sucking nipple 206 to extend. When the young animal is bowing its head to eat grass or feed, it will not easily come into contact with the outside world, making it easy to use.

[0038] Example 2: Refer to Figure 1-6 A weaning mask for livestock farming is basically the same as in Example 1, but with a further improvement: The mounting cylinder 101 is provided with multiple sets of slots 3, and a triangular cone 301 is slidably connected within each slot 3. A movable rod 304 is slidably connected within the mounting cylinder 101, and the movable rod 304 is provided with multiple sets of protrusions 3041. When the movable rod 304 moves, the protrusions 3041 will push the triangular cone 301 up, causing it to extend out of the slot 3. The triangular cone 301 is made of a magnetically adsorbable and conductive metal. The movable rod 304 and the protrusions 3041 are... The magnet and the mounting cylinder 101 are made of a non-magnetically attracted material. A return spring 305 is installed inside the mounting cylinder 101. One end of the moving rod 304 abuts against the return spring 305, and the end of the moving rod 304 away from the return spring 305 passes through the mounting cylinder 101. The moving rod 304 can be pushed by the touch switch 207 on the sealed can lid 205. A transmission line 303 is connected to the battery 307. A connecting ring 302 is connected to the triangular cone 301. Multiple sets of triangular cones 301 are connected to the transmission line 303 through the connecting ring 302.

[0039] The device has a built-in control chip, and the battery 307 supplies power to the chip and the touch switch 207. The sucking nipple 206 in the device has a built-in air tube, which can draw in external air and can only suck out liquid by sucking. The liquid will not be discharged from the nipple naturally.

[0040] When using this device, first fully charge the storage battery 307, and remove the liquid storage tank 204 from the installation cylinder 101 by rotating it in the opposite direction. Then remove the sealed tank cap 205, pour in an appropriate amount of bittering agent, and then fill it with water. Shake it to dissolve the bittering agent. Then reinstall the liquid storage tank 204 into the installation cylinder 101. Prepare some nylon ropes, wrap the nylon ropes around the binding loop 102, and then wrap the other end of the nylon rope around the neck of the young animal. This will cause the semi-conical cylinder of the mask body 1 to be locked onto the mouth and nose of the young animal, thus completing the installation.

[0041] When in use, if a young animal approaches its mother and wants to nurse, due to its small size, it will tilt its head back, positioning the mounting cylinder 101 towards the mother's abdomen. At this time, the liquid storage tank 204 inside the mounting cylinder 101 will come into contact with the mother's abdomen. Since part of the liquid storage tank 204 protrudes outside the mounting cylinder 101, this part will come into contact with the mother's abdomen, causing it to be squeezed and retracted into the mounting cylinder 101. Because the mounting cylinder 101 obstructs the young animal's view, and... Figure 3 As shown, the sucking nipple 206 is initially located inside the mounting cylinder 101, preventing the young animal's mouth and nose from contacting it. When the reservoir 204 moves inward, the spring 202 is compressed, and the sucking nipple 206 approaches the young animal's mouth. Since the young animal cannot see the sucking nipple 206, it will mistake it for the mother animal's teat and unconsciously suck it into its mouth. At the same time, the reservoir 204 moves to its limit position, and the touch switch 207 contacts the mounting cylinder 101. The movable lever 304 on 1 moves accordingly. At this time, the touch switch 207 sends an electrical signal, which is received by the chip. Simultaneously, the protrusion 3041 pushes up the triangular cone 301, causing it to extend out of the slot 3. The sharp end of the triangular cone 301 then presses against the mother animal's abdomen, causing her to feel pain and leave the young. At the same time, the young animal sucks, drawing in water containing a bittering agent from the storage tank 204. Upon inhaling the bitter water, the young animal will instinctively reject it and spit out the sucking nipple 206. In this way, the young animal becomes uncomfortable with nursing, and over time, it can be weaned.

[0042] If the young animal does not release the nipple 206 after sucking the bitter water, the touch switch 207 will continuously send signals. If this continues for more than 10 seconds, the chip will control the battery 307 to send a momentary current. The current enters the liquid storage tank 204 through the transmission line 306. The voltage of the momentary current should not exceed 1000V. The current will cause the young animal to feel pain and release its mouth. The nipple 206 will then reset under the action of the spring 202. In this way, the young animal will feel discomfort, and eventually it can be weaned.

[0043] When generating electricity, the storage battery 307 can also guide part of the current to the triangular cone 301 through the transmission line 303. If the mother animal is still next to the young animal and the mother animal's abdomen is in contact with the triangular cone 301, the current generated at this time will come into contact with the mother animal's abdomen. At this time, the mother animal will be startled and move away from the young animal. In this way, the young animal will suckle bitter water. If it suckles continuously, it will be shocked. At the same time, the mother animal will be pricked or shocked. This will make the mother animal and the young animal uncomfortable with nursing. In the long run, this method will make the young animal unwilling to nurse and the mother animal unwilling to nurse, which will facilitate the weaning of the young animal.

[0044] This invention utilizes water containing a bittering agent and a sucking nipple 206. When a young animal wants to nurse, squeezing causes the sucking nipple 206 to move closer to the young animal's mouth. The young animal will naturally suckle the sucking nipple 206, inhaling the water containing the bittering agent. This will make the young animal feel uncomfortable. Over time, this will cause the young animal to dislike nursing, naturally completing the weaning process without affecting the mother animal's diet. This invention is easy to use.

Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
