Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of drenching devices, and in particular relates to a drenching device for animal husbandry. Background Art

[0002] Animal husbandry is an important part of global agricultural production, providing humans with a rich supply of animal-derived foods such as meat, milk, and eggs. In the livestock production process, disease prevention and treatment are key links in ensuring animal health and improving breeding efficiency. In veterinary diagnosis and treatment, medication administration is one of the most common treatment methods, and drenchers, as veterinary medication tools, play a vital role in animal husbandry and veterinary practice. Traditional animal husbandry and veterinary drenchers are simple in design, consisting primarily of a liquid medicine container and a throat tube, used to inject liquid medication directly into the animal's mouth or esophagus to treat or prevent disease.

[0003] However, traditional livestock and veterinary drenchers have many drawbacks that seriously affect the efficiency, safety, and comfort of drug administration. First, due to the lack of an effective temperature control mechanism, the drug solution may be too cold or too hot during administration, which not only affects the efficacy of the drug, but may also cause discomfort in the animal or even cause harm. Secondly, the throat of the traditional drencher is connected to the drug container in a single way, mostly using simple plugging or tying. This connection method is not only unreliable and prone to leakage during use, but also difficult to disassemble and clean, increasing the risk of cross-infection. In addition, the hardness and shape of the throat are often not suitable for all animals, especially for young animals or animals with sensitive throats. The insertion of a hard throat may cause trauma and reduce the safety of drug administration. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides a livestock medicine drencher, which solves the disadvantage of traditional livestock medicine drenchers lacking an effective temperature control mechanism, and improves the acceptance and safety of animals.

[0005] The utility model is achieved in this way:

[0006] The utility model provides a livestock medicine drencher, which includes a medicine liquid container, a throat pipe assembly, and a heating pad. The throat pipe assembly is connected to the medicine liquid container, the heating pad is arranged at the bottom of the medicine liquid container, the bottom of the medicine liquid container is provided with a groove, the heating pad is embedded in the groove, and a heat insulation layer is provided between the medicine liquid container and the heating pad. The throat pipe assembly includes a throat pipe and a medicine liquid delivery pump, the medicine liquid delivery pump is connected to the outlet of the medicine liquid container, and the throat pipe is connected to the outlet of the medicine liquid delivery pump.

[0007] The medicine liquid container is detachably connected to the throat tube assembly.

[0008] The liquid medicine container and throat components are made of corrosion-resistant materials to adapt to the chemical characteristics of different liquid medicines and ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0009] Corrosion-resistant materials are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical and other fields. Common types include:

[0010] Stainless steel: such as 316L stainless steel, has excellent corrosion resistance, especially good resistance to seawater, alkali and most organic acids.

[0011] Titanium alloy: light weight, high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, especially suitable for harsh environments such as strong acid and strong alkali.

[0012] Hastelloy: has excellent corrosion resistance to various acids and salt solutions.

[0013] Nickel-based alloys: such as Monel alloy, have good corrosion resistance to seawater, salt water and various acids

[0014] On the basis of the above technical solution, the livestock medicine drencher of the present utility model can also be improved as follows:

[0015] Wherein, the liquid medicine delivery pump is a peristaltic pump, and the liquid medicine delivery pump pushes the liquid medicine to flow by squeezing the throat tube.

[0016] A peristaltic pump is a type of pump that compresses a flexible hose or hose-like structure to pump liquid. Its operating principle is similar to the peristaltic motion that propels food through the human digestive system. A peristaltic pump uses one or more rollers or shoes to squeeze the hose. As the rollers or shoes rotate, the liquid in the hose is squeezed and discharged through the outlet. The elasticity of the hose causes it to return to its original shape after the rollers or shoes are removed, creating a vacuum at the pump's intake port, drawing in new liquid. This pumping method effectively prevents liquid backflow, ensuring continuous and accurate pumping.

[0017] Furthermore, a sealing cover is provided on the top of the liquid medicine container, and a medicine adding port is provided on the sealing cover.

[0018] Furthermore, the surface of the heating pad is covered with a waterproof film.

[0019] Waterproof membranes are usually made of the following materials:

[0020] Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE): It has excellent chemical stability, low friction coefficient, high temperature resistance, and is an ideal waterproof and oil-proof material.

[0021] Polyurethane (PU): good flexibility, wear resistance, and good waterproof performance.

[0022] Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): low cost and good waterproof performance, but poor environmental protection and durability.

[0023] Silicone: has good heat resistance and elasticity, good waterproof effect, and is suitable for a variety of environments.

[0024] Furthermore, the detachable connection includes one of a threaded connection, a flange connection and a ferrule connection.

[0025] Furthermore, the heating pad is connected to the bottom of the liquid medicine container by bonding or snap-fitting.

[0026] Furthermore, the liquid medicine container is made of a transparent material and has scale lines on the outside.

[0027] Common transparent materials include but are not limited to:

[0028] Polycarbonate (PC): has high transparency, good impact resistance and heat resistance.

[0029] Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), commonly known as plexiglass or acrylic: high transparency and good processing performance, but relatively easy to scratch.

[0030] Polyester (PET): Transparent and lightweight, commonly used in food packaging and beverage bottles.

[0031] Glass: It has extremely high transparency and chemical stability, but is fragile.

[0032] Polysulfone (PSU): high transparency, high temperature resistance, suitable for high temperature sterilization.

[0033] Furthermore, the heating pad is a flexible graphene heating film.

[0034] Furthermore, the operating temperature range of the heating pad is 25°C to 45°C.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom of the liquid medicine container is designed with a heat-conducting optimization structure, which is arranged in an array at the bottom of the liquid medicine container. The heat-conducting optimization structure includes protrusions or grooves.

[0036] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme are as follows: the heat conduction optimization structure can enhance the heat exchange efficiency between the heating pad and the bottom surface of the liquid medicine container, and improve the heating speed and uniformity.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the livestock medicine drencher provided by the utility model are:

[0038] Improve drug administration safety and comfort: The introduction of the heating pad ensures that the drug solution is administered at an appropriate temperature, avoiding discomfort caused by overcooling or overheating, and improving animal acceptance and safety;

[0039] Enhanced connection stability and sealing: Diversified connection methods optimize the connection between the throat assembly and the liquid container, not only enhancing the stability of the overall structure, but also greatly improving the sealing of the system through the design of sealing rings and bolts, reducing the risk of leakage;

[0040] Improve operational convenience and hygiene: Quick connectors and easy-to-disassemble connections make cleaning and replacement of hose components extremely simple, reducing the possibility of cross-infection and improving work efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
