Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of livestock restraint technology, specifically to a livestock restraint device for animal husbandry and veterinary treatment. Background Technology
[0002] In livestock farming, animals may fall ill and require treatment by a veterinarian. During treatment, the animal needs to be restrained to facilitate examination and treatment by the veterinarian. For example, the rabbit leg restraint frame disclosed in authorization announcement number CN214342767U adjusts the leg ring frame and guide plate by adjusting the bolts and the setting of the leg ring frame, and adjusts the bolts to clamp and fix the two sides, thereby limiting the resistance movement of the experimental rabbit's legs and ensuring the safety of the staff.
[0003] Currently available rabbit restraints typically use straps to secure the rabbit to the frame. Similar to the technology described above, directly strapping the rabbit to the frame causes discomfort due to direct contact between the rabbit and the frame. Furthermore, during examinations and treatments, it may be necessary to move or turn the rabbit over. However, with the above-mentioned restraint method, the straps need to be untied, moved, and then re-tied, which is quite cumbersome and prevents the rabbit from being moved at any time. This is especially inconvenient when conducting a full-body examination. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Preferably, the sliding assembly includes an arc-shaped limiting plate fixedly installed outside the arc-shaped plate, and one end of the arc-shaped support plate and the arc-shaped clamping plate are both provided with a limiting groove that is slidably connected to the arc-shaped limiting plate. Multiple clamping teeth are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer side of the arc-shaped limiting plate.
[0010] Preferably, both the arc-shaped plate and the arc-shaped limiting plate are semi-circular in shape.
[0011] Preferably, the limiting component includes a sliding housing that is slidably connected to the connecting groove. A plurality of limiting blocks for limiting the locking teeth are slidably disposed through the upper end of the sliding housing. A compression spring is fixedly disposed between the limiting blocks and the sliding housing. A support rod is fixedly installed at the lower end of the sliding housing.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting plate that is slidably connected to the opening is fixedly disposed between the two support rods.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This invention slides an arc-shaped plate on the inner side of both the arc-shaped support plate and the arc-shaped clamping plate, and fixes an airbag on the inner side of the arc-shaped plate. When the rabbit is placed on the arc-shaped plate, it directly contacts the airbag, increasing the rabbit's comfort after being fixed. After the rabbit is fixed by the arc-shaped support plate and the arc-shaped clamping plate, the two arc-shaped plates can be rotated, and the rabbit's movement can be controlled according to the doctor's needs.
[0015] 2. This invention involves fixing multiple locking teeth at equal intervals on the outer side of the arc-shaped limiting ring outside the arc-shaped plate, and sliding the sliding housing within the connecting groove of the support base. Multiple limiting blocks are slidably arranged through the upper end of the sliding housing to limit the locking teeth. When the doctor controls the arc-shaped plate to rotate, the limiting blocks are moved downward to prevent the locking teeth from being limited. When it is necessary to stop, the limiting blocks are moved upward to limit the locking teeth, thus preventing the arc-shaped plate from rotating. The plate can be stopped at any time during rotation to limit the locking teeth, increasing the convenience for doctors during examination and treatment.
[0016] 3. This invention uses a piston plate that slides inside the mounting box and a folding telescopic tube that is fixedly connected to the outside of the airbag. The folding telescopic tube bypasses the limiting ring on the outside of the arc plate and connects to the rigid tube. This allows the piston plate to be moved to inflate and deflate the airbag by pulling a rope and using atmospheric pressure when the motor is working. When not fixed, the airbag is fully inflated, which is convenient for wiping and disinfection. When fixed, the airbag is inflated with a small amount of air to support the rabbit and prevent the rabbit from directly contacting the arc plate. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0027] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-8 A livestock restraint device for veterinary treatment includes a support base 1. Two arc-shaped support plates 2 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the support base 1. An arc-shaped clamping plate 30 is provided on one side of each of the two arc-shaped support plates 2. An arc-shaped plate 3 is slidably arranged on the inner side of each arc-shaped support plate 2 and arc-shaped clamping plate 30. An airbag 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the arc-shaped plate 3. Two support housings 4 are provided on the support base 1. A rotating assembly for controlling the movement of the arc-shaped clamping plates 30 is provided between the two support housings 4. The rotating assembly includes a rotating shaft 6 rotatably installed between the two support housings 4. One side of one of the support housings 4 is fixed. A motor 8 is installed, with its output end fixedly connected to one end of a rotating shaft 6. Connecting rods 28 are fixedly installed on one side of both the arc-shaped support plate 2 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 30. The connecting rod 28 on one side of the arc-shaped support plate 2 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 6, and the connecting rod 28 on one side of the arc-shaped clamping plate 30 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6. When the rabbit is placed on the arc-shaped plate 3, it directly contacts the airbag 7, increasing the rabbit's comfort after being secured. After the motor 8 controls the arc-shaped support plate 2 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 30 to secure the rabbit, the two arc-shaped plates 3 can be rotated, allowing the rabbit's movement to be controlled according to the doctor's needs.
[0028] A mounting box 5 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support base 1. One of the support shells 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting box 5. A pushing component for inflating and deflating the airbag 7 is provided between the mounting box 5 and the rotating component. An air guiding component is provided between the airbag 7 and the pushing component. Sliding components are provided between the arc-shaped support plate 2 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 30 and the arc-shaped plate 3. A connecting groove 16 communicating with the arc-shaped support plate 2 is opened on the upper end of the support base 1. A limiting component for limiting the sliding component is provided in the connecting groove 16. The sliding component includes an arc-shaped limiting plate 14 fixedly installed outside the arc-shaped plate 3. A limiting groove 15 slidably connected to the arc-shaped limiting plate 14 is opened through one end of the arc-shaped support plate 2 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 30. Multiple locking teeth 13 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer side of the arc-shaped limiting plate 14. The arc-shaped plate 3 and the arc-shaped limiting plate... All 14 are semi-circular in shape. The limiting component includes a sliding housing 23 that is slidably connected to the connecting groove 16. Multiple limiting blocks 24 that limit the locking teeth 13 are slidably disposed through the upper end of the sliding housing 23. A compression spring 25 is fixedly disposed between the limiting block 24 and the sliding housing 23. A support rod 32 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the sliding housing 23. A telescopic spring 27 is fixedly disposed between the support rod 32 and the connecting groove 16. An opening 31 communicating with the connecting groove 16 is opened on one side of the support base 1. When the doctor controls the arc plate 3 to rotate, the limiting block 24 is controlled to move downward, so as not to limit the locking teeth 13. When it is necessary to stop, the limiting block 24 is controlled to move upward, so as to limit the locking teeth 13 and prevent the arc plate 3 from rotating. It can stop and limit at any time of rotation, which increases the convenience of the doctor during examination and treatment.
[0029] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the pushing component includes a sealing plate 26 fixedly installed in the mounting box 5, a piston plate 19 slidably connected in the mounting box 5, a push rod 22 slidably connected to the sealing plate 26 fixedly installed on the upper end of the piston plate 19, one end of the rotating shaft 6 is located in one of the supporting housings 4 and a winding shaft 29 is fixedly sleeved thereon, a pull rope 21 is fixedly provided between the winding shaft 29 and the push rod 22, and the air guiding component includes a folding telescopic tube 9 fixedly connected to the airbag 7, a plurality of limiting rings 20 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the arc plate 3, a rigid tube 11 is connected between two corresponding connecting rods 28, and one end of the folding telescopic tube 9 passes through the limiting ring 20 and is fixedly connected to the rigid tube 11. A circular shell 17 is fixedly installed on one side of a supporting shell 4. An annular plate 18 is rotatably installed on one side of the circular shell 17. A rigid tube 11 on one side of the arc-shaped clamping plate 30 is fixedly connected to the annular plate 18. An air guide tube 12 is fixedly connected between the circular shell 17 and the sealing plate 26. A rigid tube 11 on one side of the arc-shaped supporting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the air guide tube 12. When the motor 8 is working, the piston plate 19 can be moved to inflate and deflate the airbag 7 by pulling the rope 21 and cooperating with atmospheric pressure. When not fixed, the airbag 7 is in a fully inflated state, which is convenient for wiping and disinfection. When it needs to be fixed, the airbag 7 is in a state of being slightly inflated, which can support the rabbit and prevent the rabbit from directly contacting the arc-shaped plate 3.
[0030] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a connecting plate 10 that is slidably connected to the opening 31 is fixedly provided between the two support rods 32. When it is necessary to control the movement of the limiting block 24, the movement of the two sets of limiting blocks 24 can be controlled simultaneously by pushing the connecting plate 10.
[0031] Working principle: When working, the rabbit is placed on the airbag 7 of the arc support plate 2, and then the motor 8 is started to control the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. The rotating shaft 6 drives the winding shaft 29 and the connecting rod 28 fixedly connected to it to rotate.
[0032] The connecting rod 28 drives the arc-shaped clamping plate 30 to move, and the arc-shaped clamping plate 30 drives the arc plate 3 to move and close with the arc plate 3 on the arc-shaped support plate 2 (when the connecting rod 28 moves, it also drives the rigid tube 11 connected to it to move, and the rigid tube 11 drives the ring plate 18 connected to it to rotate in the circular shell 17), which fixes the rabbit. The rabbit is in direct contact with the airbag 7, which increases the comfort of the rabbit after it is fixed.
[0033] During the rotation of the rotating shaft 6 and the winding shaft 29, the winding shaft 29 loosens the pull rope 21. By squeezing the airbag 7 by the rabbit and the pressure difference on both sides of the sealing plate 26, the piston plate 19 can be controlled to move down, so that the airbag 7 is in a state of being inflated with a small amount of air, which can support the rabbit and prevent the rabbit from directly contacting the arc plate 3.
[0034] When the rabbit needs to be moved, press down on the connecting plate 10. The connecting plate 10 moves the support rod 32 down, compressing the telescopic spring 27. The support rod 32 then moves the sliding housing 23 down, causing the sliding housing 23 to disengage the limiting block 24 from the locking tooth 13. Then, push the arc plate 3 to rotate (e.g., Figure 8 As described above, the arc plate 3 rotates clockwise. The maximum rotation of the arc plate 3 is only 180 degrees, which is enough to flip the rabbit over. At this time, the lower folding telescopic tube 9 is in an unfolded state, and the upper folding telescopic tube 9 is in a folded state. During the clockwise rotation, the lower folding telescopic tube 9 retracts and folds, and the upper folding telescopic tube 9 is stretched and unfolded. The arc-shaped limiting plate 14 slides in the limiting groove 15. When it is necessary to stop, the connecting plate 10 is released. Due to the action of the telescopic spring 27, the support rod 32 is pushed to move upward. The support rod 32 pushes the sliding housing 23 to move upward. The sliding housing 23 drives the limiting block 24 to move upward. With the cooperation of the compression spring 25, the limiting block 24 contacts the locking tooth 13 to limit it and prevent the arc plate 3 from rotating. It can stop at any time of rotation to limit it.
[0035] After the examination and treatment are completed, the arc plate 3 is rotated back to its initial closed position. Then, the motor 8 is started in reverse to control the movement of the arc plate 30. The arc support plate 2 and the arc plate 30 are unfolded. At the same time, the rotating shaft 6 is controlled to reverse. The rotating shaft 6 drives the winding shaft 29 to wind the pull rope 21. The pull rope 21 pulls the push rod 22 upward. The push rod 22 drives the piston plate 19 upward, squeezing the air above the piston plate 19 into the airbag 7, so that the airbag 7 is in a fully inflated state, which is convenient for wiping and disinfection. At the same time, the volume below the piston plate 19 increases, and the gas above it is compressed, creating a pressure difference between the top and bottom.
[0036] The above description is merely 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 foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art will readily make equivalent substitutions for its features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
