Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal husbandry, in particular to an auxiliary device for cow hoof maintenance. Background Art
[0002] Cows are mammals of the Bovidae family in the Artiodactyla order. Depending on different cow species (genera), their common features are 32 teeth, including 8 incisors, 24 upper and lower molars, and no canines; there are no incisors in the upper jaw, only a dental pad. The stomach is divided into 4 chambers, namely the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum, with the rumen being the largest and ruminating. The hoof is divided into two halves. During the breeding process of cows, the cow hooves need to be maintained. However, during the maintenance process, it is usually quite difficult, which is likely to cause certain injuries to the cows and also inconvenient for manual maintenance work.
[0003] For example, the patent document with the publication number CN219579121U discloses an auxiliary device for cow hoof maintenance in cow breeding. The convex strips and the fixing rods are provided to fix the cow and then lay it flat to prevent it from moving during manual maintenance. However, some cows are highly vigilant, and putting them down may cause fright or even make them prone to illness. When maintaining the cow hooves while the cow is standing traditionally, one cow hoof needs to be lifted. Then, in beef cattle breeding, emphasis is placed on the meat production, and cows are often heavy and exercise less. When standing on three legs, cows are prone to fatigue.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0024] As Figure 1 - Figure 4 shown, a cow hoof maintenance assistance device includes an equipment platform 100. An upper platform 101 is provided above the equipment platform 100. Support columns 400 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom surface of the upper platform 101. The bottom ends of the support columns 400 are fixedly connected to the equipment platform 100. A lifting through hole 102 is opened in the upper platform 101. A support mechanism is provided in the lifting through hole 102. The support mechanism includes a lifting platform 201. The lifting platform 201 is slidably connected up and down to the lifting through hole 102. Square through holes 202 that are symmetric left and right are opened in the lifting platform 201. A transverse sliding frame 203 is slidably connected in the square through holes 202. Longitudinal sliding plates 204 that are symmetric front and back are slidably connected in the transverse sliding frame 203. A cow leg through hole 205 is opened in the longitudinal sliding plates 204. A moving adjustment mechanism for controlling the movement of the transverse sliding frame 203 and controlling the movement of the longitudinal sliding plates 204 is provided in the lifting platform 201.
[0025] The lifting platform 201 is used to support the body of the cow. The square through holes 202 are used to slidably connect the transverse sliding frame 203. The longitudinal sliding plates 204 are slidably connected in the transverse sliding frame 203. When maintaining the cow hoof, the positions of the transverse sliding frame 203 and the longitudinal sliding plates 204 can be adjusted according to the distance between the positions of the four limbs of the cow, and the four limbs of the cow can be comfortably placed into the cow leg through holes 205.
[0026] The support mechanism further includes an annular buffer pad 206, and the annular buffer pad 206 is fixedly connected to the top of the longitudinal slide plate 204.
[0027] The annular buffer pad 206 makes it more comfortable for the bracket to extend into the bracket through-hole 205.
[0028] The support mechanism further includes a lifting telescopic rod 207. The top end of the lifting telescopic rod 207 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 201, and the bottom end of the lifting telescopic rod 207 is fixedly connected to the equipment platform 100.
[0029] The lifting telescopic rod 207 extends and retracts itself to raise the lifting platform 201 to support the cow's body, facilitating the maintenance of the cow's hooves.
[0030] The moving and adjusting mechanism includes a middle bearing seat 301. The top end of the middle bearing seat 301 is fixedly connected to the upper platform 101. A bidirectional threaded rod 302 is rotatably connected to the middle bearing seat 301. Threaded sleeves 303 are threadedly connected to both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 302. The top ends of the threaded sleeves 303 are fixedly connected to the transverse sliding frame 203. A motor 304 is installed on the lower surface of the upper platform 101, and the output shaft of the motor 304 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 302.
[0031] The middle bearing seat 301 is used to rotatably connect the bidirectional threaded rod 302. The motor 304 provides rotational power to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 302 to rotate, causing the threaded sleeves 303 to move closer to or away from each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the transverse sliding frames 203 to accommodate cows of different body sizes.
[0032] The moving and adjusting mechanism further includes a hydraulic cylinder 305. One end of the hydraulic cylinder 305 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal slide plate 204, and the other end of the hydraulic cylinder 305 is fixedly connected to the transverse sliding frame 203.
[0033] The hydraulic cylinder 305 controls the position of the annular buffer pad 206 to make the bracket through-hole 205 adapt to the insertion of brackets of different body sizes of cows.
[0034] The equipment platform 100 is installed in a foundation pit on the ground, and the upper surface of the lifting platform 201 is at the same height as the ground.
[0035] Embedding the equipment in the ground facilitates cows to walk onto the equipment.
[0036] Working principle:
[0037] According to the body size of the cow and the distance between the four limbs, the position of the bracket through-hole 205 is adjusted.
[0038] By controlling the rotation of the motor 304 to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 302, the threaded sleeves 303 approach or move away from each other, changing the spacing of the transverse sliding frames 203 to adapt to the distance between the front and hind legs of the cow. Subsequently, the hydraulic cylinder 305 is controlled to change the position of the longitudinal sliding plate 204, and after adjustment, it conforms to the distance between the left and right legs of the cow. Then, the cow is guided onto the lifting platform 201, and the four limbs and horns extend into the cow leg through holes 205. At this time, the lifting telescopic rod 207 is activated, and the lifting telescopic rod 207 pushes the lifting platform 201 to rise. The lifting platform 201 supports the body of the cow, leaving the cow legs below. At this time, the cow legs are relaxed, facilitating the maintenance of the cow's hooves.
[0039] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
