Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of livestock breeding, in particular to a wearable estrus marking device for ewes. Background Art

[0002] Under the conditions of grazing and intensive farming, it is not easy to control the natural estrus identification of ewes. If male and female sheep are mixed in a flock, it is easy to occur unregulated natural mating, resulting in difficult flock management. There are three traditional methods for identifying the estrus of ewes: external observation method, vaginal examination method, and ram teaser method. Currently, the commonly used method for identifying the estrus of ewes is mainly the ram teaser method supplemented by external observation. The ram teaser method is to select strong, healthy, and fertile male dairy goats aged 2 - 5 years old as teaser rams. The ratio of teaser rams to ewes is generally preferably 1:30 - 40. When it is observed that there is a ewe standing still and accepting the mounting of the teaser ram, it indicates that the ewe is in estrus and can be prepared for breeding.

[0003] In the process of using the ram teaser method to identify estrus ewes, in order to improve efficiency and accuracy, the breeder usually wears a paint band with different colors on the abdomen of each teaser ram. The purpose of this is that when the ram mounts and confirms that the ewe is in estrus, the paint on the paint band can be clearly marked on the ewe, so as to quickly identify the estrus ewe and its corresponding breeding ram.

[0004] However, since one ram needs to mount multiple ewes continuously, the paint band will experience multiple frictions and coatings during this process, making it possible for the paint band to be contaminated with a lot of wool and impurities of ewes, resulting in the marks on the ewe becoming blurred when the ram mounts, increasing the difficulty for the breeder to identify estrus ewes and reducing the effectiveness of the paint band as a marking tool. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A wearable estrus marking device for ewes, including a placement box. The front side of the placement box is fixedly installed with a fixed baffle through bolts. Two reset mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the rear inner wall of the placement box. One end of each reset mechanism is provided with a paint band on the outside. Two scraping mechanisms for cleaning the wool outside the paint band are symmetrically arranged on the rear inner wall of the placement box and below the reset mechanisms.

[0006] The reset mechanism includes a fixed rod which is rotatably connected to the rear inner wall of the placement box. A reset spring is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixed rod. One end of the reset spring away from the fixed rod is fixedly installed with a rotating ring. A connecting plate is fixedly installed at a position near the front end of the inner ring surface of the rotating ring. A cubic clamping block is fixedly installed on the front side of the connecting plate. The cubic clamping block is movably clamped with a rotating shaft. A pigment tape is arranged on the outer side of the rotating shaft, so that the pigment tape reciprocates under the cooperation of structures such as the reset springs on both sides. The scraping mechanisms on both sides scrape and clean the reciprocating pigment tape to remove the hair and impurities adhered to the pigment tape.

[0007] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the scraping mechanism includes a boosting rod which is rotatably connected to the rear inner wall of the placement box. The boosting rod is located above the pigment tape. A scraping plate is fixedly installed on the rear inner wall of the placement box and below the pigment tape. Through the mutual cooperation of the scraping mechanisms, when the pigment tape moves, the scraping mechanisms clean the hair and impurities adhered to the pigment tape.

[0008] As an improvement of the above technical solution, two pressing plates are symmetrically arranged on the top inner wall of the placement box. The pigment tape is supported by the pressing plates on both sides, so that the pigment tape comes into contact with the body of the ewe.

[0009] As an improvement of the above technical solution, a stable round hole is formed on the rear side surface of the fixed baffle. The front end of the rotating shaft is movably clamped with the stable round hole, which increases the stability of the rotating shaft during rotation.

[0010] As an improvement of the above technical solution, straps are arranged on the rear side surface of the placement box and the front side surface of the fixed baffle. The placement box is worn on the abdomen of the ram through the straps on both sides.

[0011] As an improvement of the above technical solution, there are two groups of reset mechanisms. The other group of reset mechanisms is arranged at a position near the right side of the rear inner wall of the placement box. One end of the pigment tape away from the rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the other group of reset mechanisms. Through the mutual cooperation of the two groups of reset mechanisms, the pigment tape can move when the ram mounts the estrous ewe.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present utility model: During the process of the ram mounting the ewe, the pigment tape reciprocates under the cooperation of structures such as the reset springs on both sides. The scraping mechanisms on both sides scrape and clean the reciprocating pigment tape to remove the hair and impurities adhered to the pigment tape, so that the pigment can be clearly marked on the ewe each time the ram mounts the ewe, reducing the difficulty for the breeder to identify the estrous ewe and improving the effectiveness of the pigment tape as a marking tool.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0019] Refer to the Figure 1 , in Figure 1 , the a direction points to the front view and the b direction points to the right side view. The above views are only used to understand the solution.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0021] Specifically, a wearable estrus marking device for ewes includes a placement box 1. A fixed baffle 11 is fixedly installed on the front side of the placement box 1 by bolts. Two reset mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the rear inner wall of the placement box 1. A pigment tape 3 is arranged on the outer side of one end of the reset mechanism. Two scraping mechanisms for cleaning the wool on the outer side of the pigment tape 3 are symmetrically arranged on the rear inner wall of the placement box 1 and below the reset mechanism;

[0022] The reset mechanism includes a fixed rod 2. The fixed rod 2 is rotatably connected to the rear inner wall of the placement box 1. A return spring 21 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixed rod 2. One end of the return spring 21 away from the fixed rod 2 is fixedly installed with a rotating ring 22. A connecting plate 23 is fixedly installed at a position near the front end of the inner ring surface of the rotating ring 22. A cubic block 24 is fixedly installed on the front side of the connecting plate 23. The cubic block 24 is movably clamped with a rotating shaft 25. The pigment tape 3 is arranged on the outer side of the rotating shaft 25.

[0023] In this embodiment, the pigment tape 3 reciprocates under the cooperation of structures such as the reset springs 21 on both sides, and the scraping mechanisms on both sides scrape and clean the reciprocating pigment tape 3 to remove the hair and impurities adhered to the pigment tape 3.

[0024] Specifically, the scraping mechanism includes a boosting rod 4. The boosting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the rear inner wall of the placement box 1, and the boosting rod 4 is located above the pigment tape 3. A scraping plate 41 is fixedly installed on the rear inner wall of the placement box 1 and below the pigment tape 3.

[0025] In this embodiment, through the mutual cooperation of the scraping mechanisms, when the pigment tape 3 moves, the scraping mechanisms clean the hair and impurities adhered to the pigment tape 3.

[0026] Specifically, two pressing plates 5 are symmetrically arranged on the top inner wall of the placement box 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, the pigment tape 3 is supported by the pressing plates 5 on both sides, so that the pigment tape 3 comes into contact with the body of the ewe.

[0028] Specifically, a stable circular hole is formed on the rear side surface of the fixed baffle 11, and the front end of the rotating shaft 25 is movably clamped with the stable circular hole.

[0029] In this embodiment, the stability of the rotating shaft 25 during rotation is increased.

[0030] Specifically, straps are provided on both the rear side surface of the placement box 1 and the front side surface of the fixed baffle 11.

[0031] In this embodiment, the placement box 1 is worn on the abdomen of the ram through the straps on both sides.

[0032] Specifically, there are two sets of reset mechanisms. The other set of reset mechanisms is arranged at a position near the right side of the rear inner wall of the placement box 1. One end of the pigment tape 3 away from the rotating shaft 25 is fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the other set of reset mechanisms.

[0033] In this embodiment, through the mutual cooperation of the two sets of reset mechanisms, the pigment tape 3 can move when the ram mounts and mates with the estrous ewe.

[0034] When in use, the reset springs 21 on both sides are in a stretched state. The placement box 1 is worn on the abdomen of the ram through the straps on the rear side of the placement box 1 and the front side of the fixed baffle 11. When the ram mounts a estrous ewe, the pressing plates 5 on both sides support the pigment tape 3, causing the pigment tape 3 to come into contact with the ewe's body. During the process of the ram mounting the ewe, when the ram moves upward, the frictional force generated by the contact between the ewe and the pigment tape 3 causes the pigment tape 3 to move to the left, and the other rotating shaft 25 releases the pigment tape 3. At this time, the pigment tape 3 wrinkles and gathers near the rotating shaft 25. The reset spring 21 releases the stretched state, causing the reset spring 21 to drive the rotating ring 22 to rotate counterclockwise. The rotating ring 22 drives the cubic block 24 to rotate counterclockwise through the connecting plate 23. The cubic block 24 drives the rotating shaft 25 to rotate counterclockwise. When the rotating shaft 25 rotates counterclockwise, it contracts the pigment tape 3. During the process of the pigment tape 3 being contracted by the rotating shaft 25, it moves towards the position close to the rotating shaft 25. At this time, the assisting rod 4 presses the pigment tape 3, causing the pigment tape 3 to come into contact with the scraping plate 41. The scraping plate 41 cleans the hair and impurities adhering to the outside of the pigment tape 3. Similarly, the working principle when the ram moves downward is the same as above, enabling the pigment on the pigment tape 3 to be clearly marked on the ewe each time the ram mounts the ewe, reducing the difficulty for the breeder to identify the estrous ewe, and improving the effectiveness of the pigment tape 3 as a marking tool.

[0035] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them.
