[0001] This invention relates to the field of livestock cage technology, specifically a temporary livestock cage that can be quickly disinfected for livestock observation and treatment. Background Technology
[0002] Animal husbandry is the process of using domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry to artificially breed and convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal materials.
[0003] In animal husbandry, animals are often kept in cages for disease prevention or treatment to facilitate observation of treatment effects. However, the rigid cages in existing individual cages require multiple steps for cleaning and disinfection, typically including "rinsing - locating dead corners - rinsing - sewage discharge - disinfection - locating dead corners - disinfection - resetting". This process is cumbersome and labor-intensive, and dead corners are easily missed during disinfection.
[0004] For example, the utility model with authorization announcement number CN212993698U provides an observation and feeding shed for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, including a frame, a cage door and a ventilated net.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. When this application is used, the folding component drives the enclosure component to undergo deformation through multiple folding and unfolding. The enclosure component rotates synchronously with the rotating mesh plate and the bottom frame of the cage, so that the enclosure component actively generates displacement and deformation within the preset space. On the one hand, the tension during folding can break up the feces and garbage that have solidified on the side metal enclosure mesh and the upper metal enclosure mesh, reducing the burden of manual cleaning. On the other hand, the enclosure component and the cleaning water form relative motion in the rotating state, replacing the traditional cleaning method of "water source moving to align dead corners", eliminating cleaning blind spots from the root.
[0018] 2. When this application is in use, the forward and reverse motors work, and the transmission gears rotate three times. The rotational force of the transmission gears is applied to the metal rotating disk through the rack, the enclosure drive frame, and the guide rod. The metal rotating disk rotates, and the enclosure drive frame applies the rotational force to the rotating mesh plate through the enclosure columns and the limiting friction frame. The rotating mesh plate rotates synchronously with the metal rotating disk. The enclosure assembly and the rotating mesh plate rotate. The enclosure assembly rotates rapidly in the water. The enclosure assembly, the rotating mesh plate, and the bottom frame of the cage are washed by the impact water. The mesh holes on the side metal enclosure net and the upper metal enclosure net ensure the cleaning effect, and the enclosure assembly can be cleaned quickly and thoroughly.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Example: As shown in Figures 1-15, the present invention provides a temporary livestock cage for observation and treatment that can be quickly disinfected, including a cage base 1 and a cage structure 2. The cage structure 2 includes, from top to bottom, a disinfectant diversion rack 233, a cage top cover 216, a lifting guide frame 218, four enclosure drive frames 210, enclosure components, and a cage bottom frame 21. A rotating mesh plate 22 is rotatably installed inside the cage bottom frame 21. A folding component is provided between the cage top cover 216 and the enclosure components. Six disinfectant spray pipes 234 are fixedly connected between the bottom of the disinfectant diversion rack 233 and the cage bottom frame 21. A metal rotating disk 238 is rotatably installed inside the lifting guide frame 218.
[0023] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4, a drain valve 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the cleaning base 11 in the cage base 1. The drain valve 12 is used for draining sewage. Limit adjustment grooves 13 are opened on the top of both sides of the cleaning base 11. A screw mounting seat 15 and a fixed push plate 14 are set inside the limit adjustment groove 13. The screw mounting seat 15 is fixedly connected to the cleaning base 11 and cannot move. One end of the adjusting screw 16 threaded on the screw mounting seat 15 is rotatably connected to the fixed push plate 14. The outer wall of the fixed push plate 14 is close to the cleaning base 11. The fixed push plate 14 can only move horizontally. Rotating the adjusting screw 16 can control the movement of the fixed push plate 14. A water supply system is fixedly connected to the top of the outer side of the cleaning base 11.
[0024] Specifically, as shown in Figures 2, 5, and 6, the four fence posts 26 in the fence assembly are vertically arranged, and the fence posts 26 are aligned with the fence drive frame 210. The top of the fence posts 26 is fixedly connected to the fence drive frame 210, and the fence posts 26 and the fence drive frame 210 move synchronously. The bottom of the fence posts 26 is fixedly connected to a limiting friction frame 27, and a fence limiting hole 25 is provided at the bottom of the fence posts 26. The fence limiting hole 25 is opened on the bottom frame 21 of the cage, and the limiting friction frame 27 passes through the fence limiting hole 25. The limiting friction frame 27 and the fence limiting hole 25 cooperate to limit the fence posts 26, increasing the stability of the fence posts 26. Multiple support legs 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom frame 21 of the cage, and the setting of multiple support legs 3 provides sufficient space for the limiting friction frame 27.
[0025] Four drain pipes 24 are fixedly installed on the rotating screen plate 22. The inner diameter of the drain pipes 24 is larger than the inner diameter of the mesh hole of the rotating screen plate 22. The installation of drain pipes 24 increases the liquid discharge speed at the top of the rotating screen plate 22.
[0026] A side metal fence 28 is fixedly connected between two adjacent fence posts 26. The side metal fence 28 is vertically set. The front side metal fence 28 is divided into two parts and connected by a zipper structure 237 in the middle. By operating the zipper structure 237 to open, the front side metal fence 28 is unfixed and can be opened from the middle. Livestock and pets can be placed inside the fence assembly from the middle opening position of the front side metal fence 28. An upper metal fence 29 is fixedly connected between the top of the outer sides of the four fence posts 26. The upper metal fence 29 is set at the bottom of the fence drive frame 210. Both the side metal fence 28 and the upper metal fence 29 can be deformed, so that the fence structure can be folded to reduce the space occupied. When the cage structure 2 is placed inside the cleaning base 11, multiple support legs 3 support the cage bottom frame 21 so that the cage bottom frame 21 is located on top of the drain valve 12, ensuring that the sewage generated by the cleaning cage structure 2 is discharged through the drain valve 12.
[0027] Specifically, as shown in Figures 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13, the top of the lifting guide frame 218 is located at the top of the inner cavity of the cage top cover 216. The outer wall of the lifting guide frame 218 is close to the inner wall of the cage top cover 216. The lifting guide frame 218 moves up and down inside the cage top cover 216. The top of the metal rotating disk 238, which is rotatably connected inside the lifting guide frame 218, has four guide grooves 219. The electromagnet 239, which is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting guide frame 218, is partially located on the top of the metal rotating disk 238. When the electromagnet 239 is working, it is attracted and fixed to the iron metal rotating disk 238 by magnetic force. At this time, the metal rotating disk 238 cannot rotate inside the lifting guide frame 218.
[0028] Guide rods 214 are threaded through the four guide slots 219. Each guide rod 214 corresponds to a fence drive frame 210. A connecting bent rod 240 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the guide rod 214 and the fence drive frame 210. A limiting ring 215 is rotatably installed on the top of the outer side of the guide rod 214 and is located on the top of the lifting guide frame 218. The top wall of the fence drive frame 210 abuts against the bottom of the lifting guide frame 218. Therefore, the relative positions of the lifting guide frame 218 and the metal rotating disk 238 with the fence drive frame 210 in the vertical direction remain unchanged. Under the action of the limiting ring 215 and the guide rods 214, the fence drive frame 210 and the lifting guide frame 218 move up and down synchronously. The fence drive frame 210 can move horizontally under the guidance of the guide slots 219 and the guide rods 214.
[0029] In the folding assembly, the forward and reverse motor 222 and the gearbox 223 are both fixedly installed on the top of the cage cover 216. The output end of the forward and reverse motor 222 is fixedly connected to the input end of the gearbox 223. A transmission gear 224 is fixedly installed on the outside of the output end of the gearbox 223. A reversing transmission frame 226 is fixedly installed inside the transmission gear 225 meshing with the transmission gear 224. The reversing transmission frame 226 rotates through the top of the cage cover 216. Therefore, when the forward and reverse motor 222 is controlled to work, the reversing transmission frame 226 rotates on the cage cover 216 under the transmission action of the gearbox 223, the transmission gear 224, and the transmission gear 225, controlling the forward and reverse motor 222 to work in the forward or reverse direction, and the reversing transmission frame 226 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.
[0030] The bottom end of the polygonal column 227, which is slidably installed inside the reversing transmission frame 226, is fixedly connected to the transmission vertical shaft 228. The polygonal column 227 moves up and down under the restriction of the reversing transmission frame 226. The multiple inner sidewalls of the polygonal column 227 correspond one-to-one with the multiple outer walls of the polygonal column 227. The rotational force of the reversing transmission frame 226 acts on the polygonal column 227, and the transmission vertical shaft 228 is driven to rotate by the polygonal column 227. The transmission vertical shaft 228 rotates and passes through the metal rotating disk 238. The lifting guide frame 218 and the metal rotating disk 238 move up and down synchronously with the transmission vertical shaft 228. The bottom end of the transmission vertical shaft 228 is fixedly connected to the transmission gear 229. The rotation of the transmission vertical shaft 228 drives the transmission gear 229 to rotate.
[0031] Four racks 212 mesh with the outer side of the transmission gear 229. Each rack 212 corresponds to a drive frame 210. The end of the rack 212 away from the transmission gear 229 is fixedly connected to the drive frame 210. The relative position of the drive frame 210 and the lifting guide frame 218 in the vertical direction remains unchanged. The transmission vertical shaft 228 moves up and down synchronously with the lifting guide frame 218. Therefore, when the lifting guide frame 218 moves up and down, the transmission vertical shaft 228, the transmission gear 229, the four drive frames 210, and the four racks 212 move up and down synchronously, and the meshing relationship between the racks 212 and the transmission gear 229 remains unchanged.
[0032] A limiting slot 213 is provided at one end of the rack 212 near the transmission gear 229. One end of the limiting bracket 211 inserted in the limiting slot 213 is fixedly connected to the adjacent enclosure drive bracket 210. The two racks 212, two limiting brackets 211 and two enclosure drive brackets 210 in the front-to-back direction form the upper transmission component. The two racks 212, two limiting brackets 211 and two enclosure drive brackets 210 in the left-to-right direction form the lower transmission component. The upper transmission component is set on the top of the lower transmission component. The rack 212 is parallel to the guide groove 219. Therefore, the movement of the rack 212 drives the fixedly connected enclosure drive bracket 210 to move horizontally along the guide groove 219.
[0033] Specifically, as shown in Figures 2, 7, 8, and 9, the outer shells of the telescopic rod 221 and the lifting cylinder 220 are both fixedly mounted on the top cover 216 of the cage. Connecting pads 241 are fixedly installed on the piston ends of the lifting cylinder 220 and the telescopic rod 221. A U-shaped bent rod 242 is fixedly connected between the connecting pad 241 and the lifting guide frame 218. The telescopic rod 221 and the lifting cylinder 220 are connected to the lifting guide frame 218. Limiting the movement, the lifting guide frame 218 and the metal rotating disk 238 rotatably installed inside the lifting guide frame 218 move stably up and down. The outer wall of the lifting guide frame 218 contacts the inner wall of the cage top cover 216. The lifting guide frame 218 can only move up and down. By controlling the lifting cylinder 220, the up and down positions of the lifting guide frame 218 and the metal rotating disk 238 can be controlled. The handling handle 217 fixedly installed on the top of the cage top cover 216 provides a point of leverage for the operator.
[0034] The limiting ring 215 is located at the bottom of the U-shaped bend 242, and the U-shaped bend 242 is designed to prevent motion interference with the limiting ring 215.
[0035] The top of the cage cover 216 is fixedly connected to a component protective shell 230. The component protective shell 230 is provided with a wiring port. The lifting cylinder 220, telescopic rod 221, forward and reverse motor 222 and gearbox 223 are all located inside the component protective shell 230 to ensure the safe use of the lifting cylinder 220, telescopic rod 221, forward and reverse motor 222 and gearbox 223. Both sides of the component protective shell 230 are fixedly connected to a handling handle 231. The anti-slip sleeve 232 fixedly installed on the outside of the handling handle 231 is made of sponge material. The operator can hold the anti-slip sleeve 232 and exert force to move the handling handle 231 upward, thereby moving the entire cage structure 2 upward.
[0036] The inclusion of the handling handle 217 and the carrying handle 231 allows staff to operate the cage structure 2 according to their habits and specific circumstances. For example, when there are livestock or pets inside the cage structure 2, the cage structure 2 can be lifted horizontally using the two carrying handles 231 to reduce the jolting of the cage structure 2 and minimize secondary injuries to the livestock or pets inside the cage structure 2 during treatment and observation. When the cage structure 2 is not in use, it can be lifted using the handling handle 217, allowing operation of the cage structure 2 with just one hand.
[0037] Specifically, as shown in Figures 5, 11, 14, and 15, the disinfectant diversion rack 233 is fixedly installed on the top of the cage cover 216, and the disinfectant spray pipes 234 are fixedly installed on the top of the cage cover 216. The six disinfectant spray pipes 234 are arranged in pairs, and the three sets of disinfectant spray pipes 234 are respectively set on the rear, left, and right sides of the enclosure component. The side of the disinfectant spray pipes 234 near the enclosure component has multiple spray holes 235, which serve as diversion points. The internally threaded pipe 236 fixedly connected to one side of the disinfectant diversion rack 233 is used to connect to the air supply system, the air extraction system, or the disinfectant supply system.
[0038] All six disinfection spray pipes 234 are fixedly connected to the bottom frame 21 and the top cover 216 of the cage, so the relative distance between the bottom frame 21 and the top cover 216 of the cage remains unchanged in the vertical direction.
[0039] In summary, a temporary rearing cage is composed of a cage base 1, a cage structure 2, and multiple support legs 3. The method of using the temporary rearing cage is as follows: First, power is supplied to the cage structure 2 through the wiring port on the protective shell 230. At this time, the electromagnet 239 in the cage structure 2 is energized and works. The electromagnet 239 fixes and limits the metal rotating disk 238, preventing the metal rotating disk 238 from rotating inside the lifting guide frame 218. Subsequently, the lifting cylinder 220 is controlled to work, driving the lifting guide frame 218 and the metal rotating disk 238 to move upward. Under the action of the four guide rods 214 and the four limit rings 215, the four enclosure drive frames 210 The four enclosure drive frames 210 move upwards, the enclosure components connected between them move upwards, the four limiting friction frames 27 move upwards, the limiting friction frames 27 leave the enclosure limiting holes 25, and the bottom of the enclosure components loses its limiting position; then the forward and reverse motors 222 are controlled to rotate forward, and under the transmission action of the gearbox 223, transmission gear one 224, and transmission gear two 225, the reversing transmission frame 226 rotates on the top cover 216 of the cage, and the reversing transmission frame 226 rotates clockwise. The rotational force of the reversing transmission frame 226 acts on the polygonal column 227. At this time, the metal rotating disk 238 cannot move under the action of the four electromagnets 239, and the lifting guide frame is lifted. The internal rotation of 218, while the lifting guide frame 218 is located inside the cage top cover 216 and cannot rotate, causes the polygonal column 227 to drive the transmission vertical shaft 228 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission vertical shaft 228 drives the transmission gear 229 to rotate, which in turn drives the four racks 212 to move. The four enclosure drive frames 210 move closer to the transmission vertical shaft 228. Since the side metal enclosure mesh 28, the upper metal enclosure mesh 29, and the zipper structure 237 can all deform, the enclosure columns 26 fixedly connected to the enclosure drive frames 210 are driven to move by the enclosure drive frames 210. After the forward and reverse motors 222 have been working for a period of time... Work is paused; then the forward and reverse motor 222 is controlled to reverse, the enclosure assembly unfolds, and the folding assembly, composed of the forward and reverse motor 222, gearbox 223, reversing transmission frame 226, polygonal column 227, transmission vertical shaft 228, transmission gear three 229, and four racks 212, is controlled to work, so that the enclosure assembly is folded and unfolded multiple times, causing the side metal enclosure net 28, the upper metal enclosure net 29 and the zipper structure 237 to deform multiple times, breaking and shaking off the fecal garbage that has solidified on the side metal enclosure net 28 and the upper metal enclosure net 29, performing the initial cleaning work of the enclosure assembly, and increasing the cleaning speed of the folding assembly.
[0040] The water supply system is connected to the inlet valve 17. The water supply system delivers a certain amount of water to the cleaning base 11 through the inlet valve 17 to soak the enclosure components for a period of time.
[0041] When the enclosure components enter the folded state, the forward and reverse motors 222 stop working, and the control lifting cylinder 220 works to push the metal rotating disk 238 downward. The enclosure drive frame 210 and the enclosure column 26 move downward, and the limiting friction frame 27 moves downward to abut against the rotating mesh plate 22. There is a large friction between the limiting friction frame 27 and the rotating mesh plate 22, and the relative position between the limiting friction frame 27 and the rotating mesh plate 22 cannot change. The enclosure column 26 cannot move horizontally, and the enclosure drive frame 210, connecting bending rod 240, and guide rod 214 cannot move horizontally. In horizontal movement, the relative positions between guide rod 214 and metal rotating disk 238 cannot change, and the relative positions between rack 212 and transmission gear 229 cannot change. The rotating mesh plate 22 supporting the limiting friction frame 27 and the enclosure column 26 can rotate. The axis of rotating mesh plate 22, the axis of transmission vertical shaft 228, and the axis of metal rotating disk 238 are on the same straight line. The bottom of the enclosure assembly is supported by a rotatable structure. The control electromagnet 239 stops working, and the limiting ring 215 after movement is misaligned with the electromagnet 239. The metal rotating disk 238 can rotate, and the enclosure assembly enters the rotating state. At this time, the forward and reverse motors 222 are activated, and the transmission gear 229 rotates. The rotational force of the transmission gear 229 is transmitted to the metal rotating disk 238 through the rack 212, the enclosure drive frame 210, and the guide rod 214. The metal rotating disk 238 rotates, and the enclosure drive frame 210 transmits the rotational force to the rotating mesh plate 22 through the enclosure column 26 and the limiting friction frame 27. The rotating mesh plate 22 rotates synchronously with the metal rotating disk 238, and the enclosure assembly... As the rotating mesh plate 22 rotates, the enclosure assembly rotates rapidly in the water. The enclosure assembly, rotating mesh plate 22, and cage bottom frame 21 are cleaned by the impact water. The mesh openings of the side metal enclosure mesh 28 and the upper metal enclosure mesh 29 ensure the cleaning effect, allowing for rapid and efficient cleaning of the enclosure assembly. The side metal enclosure mesh 28, the upper metal enclosure mesh 29, and the zipper structure 237 are subjected to force in a relaxed state, reducing the possibility of damage to the side metal enclosure mesh 28, the upper metal enclosure mesh 29, and the zipper structure 237 during the cleaning process.
[0042] After cleaning is completed, the drain valve 12 is opened to discharge the wastewater inside the cleaning base 11. The spray holes 235 at the bottom of the inner cavity of the disinfection spray pipe 234 empty the inside of the disinfection spray pipe 234. After the cleaning base 11 is emptied, the disinfectant supply system supplies disinfectant to the disinfectant distribution frame 233 through the internal threaded pipe 236. The disinfectant is then distributed by the disinfectant distribution frame 233 to the six disinfection spray pipes 234. The disinfectant is sprayed onto the enclosure assembly through multiple spray holes 235, and the forward and reverse motors 222 are controlled at low power. The process involves slowly rotating the enclosure components, which are then disinfected with disinfectant. A folding component, working in conjunction with the enclosure components, folds the components to move within a pre-defined space, reducing the required cleaning area. The enclosure components are subjected to both deformation forces and the interaction force between them and the water, ensuring thorough cleaning of feces and garbage. During the cleaning process in cage structure 2, the moving element changes from water to the enclosure components, reducing cleaning dead spots and preventing workers from having to move water sources to clean areas that have been found.
[0043] The enclosure component is driven by the folding component to undergo multiple folding and unfolding deformations. The enclosure component rotates synchronously with the rotating mesh plate 22 and the bottom frame 21 of the cage, so that the enclosure component actively generates displacement and deformation within the preset space. On the one hand, the tension during folding can break up the fecal garbage that has solidified on the side metal enclosure mesh 28 and the upper metal enclosure mesh 29, reducing the burden of manual cleaning. On the other hand, the enclosure component and the cleaning water form relative motion in the rotating state, replacing the traditional cleaning method of "water source moving to align dead corners", eliminating cleaning blind spots from the root.
[0044] After the cleaning and disinfection of the enclosure components is completed, the electromagnet 239 is controlled to limit the metal rotating disk 238. Then, the lifting cylinder 220 is controlled to drive the metal rotating disk 238 and the lifting guide frame 218 to move upward. The forward and reverse motors 222 are controlled to reverse. Since the number of rotations driven by the forward and reverse motors 222 during the cleaning and disinfection process of the enclosure components is an integer, after the upward movement and control of the forward and reverse motors 222 to reverse, the transmission gear three 229 rotates counterclockwise, the rack 212 moves, and the enclosure drive frame 210 moves away from the transmission vertical shaft 228. This causes the enclosure drive frame 210 to drive the enclosure column 26 to move towards the transmission gear two 225. The limiting friction frame 27 fixedly connected to the enclosure column 26 aligns with the enclosure limiting hole 25 to prepare for reset. During the reset preparation process, the electromagnet 239 and the lifting cylinder 220 work together to make the enclosure components enter the rotation state multiple times, so that the enclosure components are rinsed with disinfectant in different folded states, ensuring that there are no dead corners in the cleaning of the enclosure components.
[0045] Once the reset preparation is complete, the control lifting cylinder 220 drives the metal rotating disk 238 and the lifting guide frame 218 to move down, the enclosure drive frame 210 and the enclosure column 26 to move down, and the limiting friction frame 27 moves down through the enclosure limiting hole 25. At this time, the cage bottom frame 21 limits the limiting friction frame 27, the enclosure column 26 and the enclosure drive frame 210, and the relative position between the unfolded enclosure assembly and the cage bottom frame 21 remains unchanged.
[0046] Finally, disconnect the power supply from the wiring port on the fence post 26. The lifting cylinder 220 is de-energized and remains extended. The handling handle 217 is limited by the lifting cylinder 220, and the relative position between the handling handle 217 and the cage bottom frame 21 cannot change. The fence assembly and the cage bottom frame 21 form a cage. Rotate the adjusting screw 16 to disengage the fixed push plate 14 from the cage top cover 216. The cage top cover 216 is no longer fixed, and the cage top cover 216 can be removed from the cleaning base 11 by the handling handle 217 or the two handling handles 231. Pull the cage bottom frame 21 out of the cleaning base 11, and the cage structure 2 can be removed from the cleaning base 11, completing the cleaning and disinfection of the cage structure 2.
[0047] In summary, staff only need to insert the cage structure 2 into the cleaning base 11, operate the adjusting screw 16 to limit the cage structure 2, and connect the power supply and disinfectant supply system to the cage structure 2 to complete the preparation work for cleaning and disinfecting the cage structure 2. Subsequently, the cage structure 2 and the cage base 1 will automatically complete the cleaning and disinfection of the enclosure components. During the cleaning and disinfection process, the enclosure components are subjected to rotational force, deformation force, and interaction force with water, ensuring that the enclosure components, rotating mesh plate 22 and cage bottom frame 21 are thoroughly and efficiently cleaned.
[0048] Additionally, after the enclosure components in cage structure 2 are cleaned, cage structure 2 can be removed from cage base 1, cage structure 2 can be replaced, and water can be poured into cage base 1 once to clean the enclosure components in multiple cage structures 2. After the enclosure components in multiple cage structures 2 are cleaned, the sewage inside cage base 1 is drained, disinfectant is poured into cage base 1, and cage structure 2 is installed inside cage base 1. The operation of cage structure 2 causes the enclosure components to generate deformation force when folded and centrifugal force when rotated. The dual forces, together with the flushing force of water or disinfectant, can quickly remove stubborn dirt. Compared with traditional passive flushing, less water is consumed and cleaning efficiency is significantly improved.
[0049] Additionally, the internally threaded pipe 236 connects to an air supply system or an air extraction system. Under the action of six disinfection spray pipes 234 and multiple spray holes 235, warm air is delivered or exhaust gas is extracted from multiple locations outside the enclosure component, increasing the airflow speed around the enclosure component and ensuring the comfort of livestock and pets inside the enclosure component during the post-treatment observation and recuperation period.
