The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0030] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described.
[0031] Example
[0032] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1 , 2As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an itching device for livestock breeding includes a support wall 10, a circuit box 20 on the side wall of the support wall 10, an itching device 30 on the top of the circuit box 20, a cleaning device 40 on the side wall of the circuit box 20, a sensing component 50 at the bottom of the circuit box 20, and an air blowing component 60 at the bottom of the circuit box 20. The sensing component 50 includes a connecting channel 51 at the bottom of the circuit box 20, a weight sensing plate 52 at the bottom of the connecting channel 51, and the weight sensing plate 52 is electrically connected to a PLC control board. The air blowing component 60 includes an exhaust fan 61 at the bottom of the circuit box 20. One end of the exhaust fan 61 is provided with an air outlet 62, which is connected to an air inlet 325. The PLC control board is electrically connected to the exhaust fan 61.
[0033] It should be noted that in this embodiment, before using the machine, the staff will train the cows for a period of time to prevent them from being afraid to use the machine to scratch their itch. After the training is completed, the cows can go to the designated location to scratch their itch when they need to. Before the cows use the machine, the staff will fill the water tank 41 with disinfectant or cleaning water.
[0034] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rubbing device 30 includes a power protection rod 31 disposed on the top of the circuit box 20. One end of the power protection rod 31 is provided with a rubbing component 32. Buffer components 33 are symmetrically provided on the side wall of the power protection rod 31. The rubbing component 32 includes a motor 321 embedded in one end of the power protection rod 31. The actuating end of the motor 321 is provided with a rubbing roller 322. The outer wall of the rubbing roller 322 is provided with several rubber brushes 323. An air storage groove 324 is embedded inside the rubbing roller 322. An air inlet is embedded at the bottom of the rubbing roller 322. 325, the rubber brush 323 has an air outlet 326 embedded inside, the PLC control board is connected to the motor 321 by telecommunications, the buffer component 33 includes a spring 331 embedded in the side wall of the support wall 10, one end of the spring 331 is provided with a buffer plate 332, the side wall of the buffer plate 332 is provided with a buffer rod 333, the side wall of the support wall 10 is provided with a limiting frame 334 and is slidably connected to the outer wall of the buffer rod 333, one end of the buffer rod 333 is provided with a fixing plate 335 and fixed to the side wall of the power protection rod 31, one end of the rubber brush 323 is provided with a soft barb, the soft barb is conical in shape.
[0035] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the cow reaches the weight sensing plate 52, a signal is transmitted to the PLC control board. At this time, the PLC control board sends a power signal to all electrical devices, and then the motor 321 is powered on. The actuator of the motor 321 drives the scratching roller 322 to rotate. When rotating, the rubber brush 323 scratches the cow. Because one end of the rubber brush 323 has a conical soft barb, the scratching effect on the cow is better. The cow can also scratch itself. During the scratching process, the cow may use too much force. The rubbing roller 322 may shake, causing the power protection rod 31 to push the fixing plate 335 to squeeze the buffer rod 333 and the buffer plate 332. Then the spring 331 is squeezed. When the ox stops exerting force, the spring 331 returns to its elasticity, returning the power protection rod 31 and the rubbing roller 322 to their original positions. At this time, the exhaust fan 61 is also working, sending air into the air inlet 325 through the air outlet 62. The bottom of the rubbing roller 322 has a through hole, and then the air enters the air storage tank 324 and is sent out from the air outlet 326.
[0036] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1 , 5 As shown in Figures 6, 7, and 8, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning device 40 includes a water tank 41 disposed on the side wall of the circuit box 20. A pushing component 42 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 41. The actuating end of the pushing component 42 penetrates the bottom of the water tank 41 and extends into the interior of the water tank 41. A cleaning component 43 is embedded at one end of the water tank 41. The pushing component 42 includes an electric telescopic rod 421 disposed at the bottom of the water tank 41, with its actuating end penetrating the bottom of the water tank 41 and extending into the interior. The actuator 1 is provided with a push plate 422. The water storage tank 41 is provided with a water outlet 423 at one end near the top. The water storage tank 41 is provided with a water inlet 424 at the top. The inner wall of the water inlet 424 is provided with a sealing cap 425. The PLC control board is connected to the electric telescopic rod 421. The cleaning component 43 includes a slid groove 431 embedded at one end of the water storage tank 41. A scraper 432 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slid groove 431. The upper surface of the push plate 422 is sloping. The side wall of the scraper 432 is provided with multiple scraping grooves.
[0037] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the electric telescopic rod 421 simultaneously receives a signal and pushes the push plate 422, squeezing the water in the water tank 41 out of the water outlet 423, spraying the water in the water tank 41 onto the rubbing roller 322 to disinfect or clean the cow's body. Because the surface of the push plate 422 is sloping, all the water in the water tank 41 will be discharged from the water outlet 423. Then, the air outlet 326 on the rubber brush 323 can blow air onto the cow, blowing away the hair and fur rubbed off by the cow, and also blowing away the water on the cow's body. The electric telescopic rod 421 is pushed slowly, and the water output is very small, so there is no need to worry about a cow consuming a lot of water. When the water in the tank is used up, the staff opens the sealing cover 425, pours the desired substance into the water storage tank 41 through the inlet 424, and then closes the sealing cover 425 for the next use. When the rubbing roller 322 rotates, the scraper 432 can scrape off the hair. When the scraper 432 needs to be cleaned, the staff pulls the scraper 432 out of the chute 431, cleans it, and puts it back into the chute 431 for continued use.
[0038] The working principle of this invention is as follows:
[0039] Before using the machine, the staff trains the cattle for a period of time to prevent them from being afraid to use it for scratching. After training, when the cattle need to scratch, they can go to the designated spot. Before the cattle use the machine, the staff fills the water tank 41 with disinfectant or cleaning water. When the cattle reach the weight sensor plate 52, a signal is transmitted to the PLC control board. At this time, the PLC control board sends a power signal to all electrical devices, and then the motor 321 is powered on. The actuator of the motor 321 drives the scratching roller 322 to rotate. When it rotates, the rubber brush 323 scratches the cattle. One end of roller 23 has a tapered soft barb, which is more effective for scratching cattle. Cattle can also rub themselves to relieve the itch. During this process, the cattle may rub too hard, causing the rubbing roller 322 to shake. This shakes the power protection rod 31, which in turn pushes the fixing plate 335, compressing the buffer rod 333 and the buffer plate 332. Consequently, the spring 331 is compressed. When the cattle stop rubbing, the spring 331 returns to its elasticity, restoring the power protection rod 31 and the rubbing roller 322 to their original positions. At this time, the exhaust fan 61 is also working, sending air into the air inlet 325 through the air outlet 62. The bottom of the rubbing roller 322 has a through hole... The air enters the air storage tank 324 and is expelled from the air outlet 326. Simultaneously, the electric telescopic rod 421 receives a signal and pushes the push plate 422, squeezing the water in the water tank 41 out of the water outlet 423. The water in the water tank 41 is then sprayed onto the rubbing roller 322 to disinfect or clean the cow's body. Because the surface of the push plate 422 is sloped, all the water in the water tank 41 is discharged from the water outlet 423. Then, the air outlet 326 on the rubber brush 323 can blow air onto the cow, removing the hair and fur rubbed off during rubbing, and also clean the cow's body. The water is blown away, and the electric telescopic rod 421 is pushed slowly, so the water output is very small. Therefore, there is no need to worry about a cow consuming a lot of water. When the water in the tank is used up, the staff opens the sealing cover 425, pours the desired substance into the water storage tank 41 through the water inlet 424, and then closes the sealing cover 425 for the next use. When the rubbing roller 322 rotates, the scraper 432 can scrape off the hair. When the scraper 432 needs to be cleaned, the staff pulls the scraper 432 out of the chute 431, cleans it, and puts it back into the chute 431 for continued use.
