Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal husbandry, and in particular to a pig vaccination assistant. Background Art

[0002] As modern animal husbandry is booming, pig farming, as a key industry, plays a vital role in ensuring meat supply and promoting agricultural economic growth. Vaccination is the core link in the prevention and control of pig diseases, and its execution efficiency and quality are directly related to the healthy growth of pigs, breeding benefits and even the stability of the entire industry chain.

[0003] In the early days, pig vaccination basically relied on pure manual operation mode, and farmers or veterinary staff completed the vaccination with their hands and simple tools. As the scale of farming gradually expanded, the disadvantages of traditional manual vaccination methods became apparent. Pigs are active and strong by nature, making them extremely difficult to control during vaccination. Workers need to spend a lot of physical strength to forcibly restrain pigs, which not only makes the vaccination process long and inefficient, and it is difficult to meet the time requirements of large-scale farming, but also it is very easy for workers to be injured due to pigs breaking free and struggling, which poses a major safety hazard.

[0004] To improve this situation, the industry has developed some auxiliary tools. In terms of pig fixation, simple rope tying racks were initially used. The pigs were tied to the racks with ropes, which restricted the pigs' movements to a certain extent. However, the ropes were easy to loosen, and the tying process was cumbersome and time-consuming. The pigs' bodies were unevenly bound, which could easily cause local congestion, abrasions and other injuries. It was also extremely inconvenient to adjust the pigs' positions later.

[0005] There are also many problems in the disinfection process. Traditionally, the staff often hold disinfection cotton balls or spray bottles and simply wipe or spray the injection site based on experience. The amount of disinfectant, the scope of disinfection, and the time are difficult to accurately control. It is impossible to ensure thorough disinfection, and excessive use of disinfectant may cause irritation to the pig's skin, affecting the health of the pig. More importantly, these scattered operation links are isolated from each other and lack systematic integration. There is no comprehensive vaccination auxiliary equipment that integrates multiple functions such as precise fixation of pigs, intelligent vaccine injection, standardized disinfection, and convenient storage. It is difficult to meet the growing demand for efficient, safe, and accurate vaccination in the current pig farming industry.

The optimized design is 1.6-2 meters long, 0.8-1.2 meters wide and 1-1.4 meters high. The operating space in the breeding pens is fully considered. It is neither too large to be difficult to move nor too small to restrict the activities of pigs. It is convenient for operators to perform various operations around the assistant. Moving wheels 5 are respectively installed at the four corners of the bottom of the main frame 1, and each moving wheel 5 is equipped with a pedal-type locking mechanism. When the operator needs to fix the position of the assistant, he only needs to step on the locking mechanism with his foot to stop the rotation of the moving wheel, thereby ensuring the stability of the assistant during the vaccination process.

[0031] The pig fixing device 2 is arranged on the two side frames of the main frame 1, and the pig fixing device 2 includes a head fixing component 21 for fixing the head of the pig and a body fixing component 22 for fixing the body of the pig, and the body fixing component 22 is arranged on one side of the head fixing component 21;

[0032] A storage table 6 is installed on the top of the rear end of the frame of the main frame 1 , and the disinfection device 3 and the control device 4 are both installed on the top of the storage table 6 .

[0033] Furthermore, the head fixing assembly 21 includes an arc-shaped head clamping plate 211, a first electric push rod 212 and a vertical lifting slide 213, the vertical lifting slide 213 is installed at the front end of the two side frames of the main support 1, the sliding assembly of the vertical lifting slide 213 is fixedly connected with the first electric push rod 212, the first electric push rod 212 is horizontally arranged opposite to each other, and the end is connected to the arc-shaped head clamping plate 211;

[0034] The body fixing assembly 22 includes a horizontal sliding bar 222, a second electric push rod 223 and a body clamping rod 224. Two parallel horizontal sliding bars 222 are installed at the rear ends of the two side frames of the main body support 1. A sliding member 225 is connected between the horizontal sliding bars 222, and the bottom end of the sliding member 225 passes through the horizontal sliding bar 222 and is provided with a locking knob. The second electric push rod 223 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the sliding member 225. The second electric push rod 223 is horizontally arranged relative to each other, and the end is connected to the body clamping rod 224.

[0035] Furthermore, the outer side of the arc-shaped head splint 211 is connected to the first electric push rod 212 through a screw structure, so that the arc-shaped head splint 211 of different sizes can be replaced, and the operator can quickly switch according to the size of the pig's head. The arc-shaped head splints 211 on both sides are circular when closed, and the inner side of the arc-shaped head splint 211 is fitted with a flexible buffer pad with a thickness of 2-3 cm. The buffer pad is made of silicone. The inner side of the body clamp rod 224 is arc-shaped to fit the body curve of the pig. The body clamp rod 224 is 30-50 cm long, 3-5 cm wide, and 1-2 cm thick. It is made of aluminum alloy. Anti-slip pads are evenly distributed on the inner side of the body clamp rod 224. The anti-slip pads are made of rubber particles and plastic composite, have good anti-slip properties, and are not easy to be stained with dirt.

[0036] Furthermore, the disinfection device 3 includes an iodine barrel 31, an alcohol barrel 325% iodine for disinfection, 75% alcohol for deiodination, a liquid outlet pipe 33 and an electrically controlled valve 34. The bottom ends of the iodine barrel 31 and the alcohol barrel 32 are connected to the electrically controlled valve 34. The electrically controlled valve 34 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 33 through a quick-plug sealing joint. The electrically controlled valve 34 is connected to the control device 4, and the flow rate of the disinfectant can be accurately controlled according to a preset program or manual instructions, and the flow rate regulation accuracy reaches 0.1 ml / s.

[0037] Furthermore, the front side of the top of the main support 1 clamps a universal hose support 35 for fixing the liquid outlet tube 33. The universal hose support 35 is made of memory alloy and can automatically adapt to different bending angle requirements of the liquid outlet tube 33 to ensure that the liquid outlet tube 33 is always accurately aligned with the injection site during the vaccination and disinfection process.

[0038] Furthermore, both the iodine barrel 31 and the alcohol barrel 32 are transparent plastic containers with a capacity of 2-3 liters.

[0039] Furthermore, the control device 4 is connected to other electronic components through industrial-grade high-speed bus communication, and has a visual human-computer interaction interface, which intuitively presents the pig fixation status and disinfection process information. The clamping force and position of the pig fixation device 2 are adjusted according to the parameters such as the pig's body shape and weight to ensure that the fixation is firm and does not hurt the pig; the disinfection process is automated, and the iodine and alcohol disinfection sequence and time interval of the disinfection device 3 are automatically controlled according to medical disinfection specifications to achieve one-click disinfection operation.

[0040] Furthermore, a storage bin 7 and a needle recovery cylinder 8 are provided on the storage table 6. The storage bin 7 is used to store disposable injection needles and disinfection consumables, and the needle recovery cylinder 8 is used to recycle discarded needles. The top opening is trumpet-shaped, which is convenient for needle insertion. The outer wall of the container is marked with scales, which makes it easy to intuitively know the number of needles recovered.

[0041] Specifically, the operator pushes the pig vaccination aid to a suitable position in the breeding pen close to the pigs to be vaccinated. After arriving at the designated location, the operator steps on the foot-operated locking mechanism, and the moving wheel 5 immediately stops rotating, firmly fixing the aid to provide stable support for subsequent vaccination operations, and can remain in place even when the pigs struggle.

[0042] When injecting the vaccine, the pigs are fixed. The pigs enter from the rear of the main support 1. The operator drives the head fixing component 21 of the pig fixing device 2 through the control device 4 to start working. After receiving the command, the sliding component of the slide drives the first electric push rod 212 fixedly connected to it to quickly and accurately descend to the appropriate height. The lifting and lowering repeated positioning accuracy can reach 0.1 mm, ensuring the consistency of each operation. The arc-shaped head splints 211 on both sides are circular after closing, and a 2.5 cm thick silicone flexible cushion pad is attached to the inside. The surface of the cushion pad has an antibacterial coating, which can gently fix the pig's head and prevent the pig from being injured. As the first electric push rod 212 is slowly pushed, the arc-shaped head splint 211 gradually approaches the pig's head until it fits tightly and fixes the pig's head firmly.

[0043] After that, the pig body is fixed, and the body fixing assembly 22 starts to work. First, the position of the sliding member 225 is adjusted according to the length of the pig body, and the knob is locked after it is in the appropriate position to ensure that the position is fixed. The second electric push rod 223 pushes the body clamping rod 224 to approach the pig body until the pig body is firmly fixed.

[0044] During vaccination, the universal hose bracket 35 is bent to the area above the neck of the pig, and one end of the liquid outlet pipe 33 is fixed above the outer box hose bracket 35, and the other end is connected to the electric control valve 34 of the iodine barrel 31 and the alcohol barrel 32. The control device 4 controls the electric control valve 34 of the iodine barrel 31 and the alcohol barrel 32 of the disinfection device 3 to be opened successively. According to the preset program, the iodine flow rate is accurately controlled, and the flow rate adjustment accuracy reaches 0.1 ml / sec. The injection site is first disinfected with 5% iodine, and then deiodinated with 75% alcohol. The entire disinfection process is automated. According to the medical disinfection specification, the control device 4 strictly controls the iodine and alcohol disinfection sequence and time interval. Finally, the injection is performed again. After the operator extracts the vaccine prepared in advance into the matching injection barrel and injects the pig, the replaced needle is put into the needle recovery barrel 8 for recovery.

[0045] After the inoculation is completed, the control device 4 drives the first electric push rod 212 and the second electric push rod 223 of the pig fixing device 2 to move in the opposite direction, slowly loosening the arc-shaped head clamp 211 and the body clamp rod 224 to release the pig. The operator observes the state of the pig and releases the pig from the front end of the main support 1 after confirming that there is no abnormality.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents.
