[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of livestock breeding equipment, and particularly relates to a cow medicated bath robot. Background Art

[0002] Cows play a crucial role in the agricultural economic system. Their breeding not only provides the market with abundant dairy products, meat products, and leather products but also brings stable economic returns to farmers. However, to maintain this production efficiency, it is crucial to ensure the environmental hygiene and health status of cow breeding.

[0003] It is particularly noteworthy that the cleanliness of cow teats is directly related to the quality and safety of dairy products. Teats are potential transmission routes for bacteria and viruses. If not cleaned and disinfected in a timely and effective manner, it will not only affect the quality and hygiene standards of milk but also may cause health problems such as mastitis, which will not only reduce the comfort of cows but also may cause discomfort during breeding, thereby affecting their production performance.

[0004] The utility model with the Chinese patent application number CN202321521291.X discloses a cleaning structure suitable for cow teats, which relates to the technical field of cow breeding. It includes a cleaning seat.

A waste liquid collection component cooperating with the teat medicated bath component is arranged at the bottom end of the blast cylinder; at the top end of the cleaning seat, a wrapping mechanism cooperating with the drying component is arranged. The wrapping mechanism includes a wrapping skeleton component cooperating with the blast cylinder and a wrapping cloth cooperating with the wrapping skeleton and used for wrapping the cow's udder.

[0005] The above comparative documents have the following problems:

[0006] Although the existing cow teat cleaning devices can play a role to a certain extent, there are still many problems. First, the long-term static placement of the liquid medicine easily causes the liquid medicine to stratify, greatly reducing the cleaning effect. Second, the spraying area of its medicated bath component is limited, affecting the cleaning effect. In addition, the non-adjustability of the liquid medicine temperature is also a problem. Different cleaning tasks may require different liquid medicine temperatures, while the existing equipment often cannot meet this requirement. Finally, the lack of a cleaning mechanism for the spray head is also an obvious shortcoming. Long-term use may cause the spray head to be blocked, affecting the cleaning effect. Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] The utility model provides a dairy cow medicated bath robot, aiming to solve the problems that the cleaning liquid for dairy cow nipples is prone to stratification after long-term standing, reducing the cleaning effect, limiting the spraying area, further affecting the cleaning quality. In addition, the temperature of the liquid medicine cannot be adjusted, unable to meet the requirements of different cleaning tasks. Finally, there is a lack of a cleaning mechanism for the spray head, which may cause blockage after long-term use, further affecting the cleaning effect.

[0008] The utility model is realized as follows: A dairy cow medicated bath robot includes a moving base; an adjustment platform arranged on the moving base; and a medicated bath main body arranged above the adjustment platform.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the technical field to which this application belongs; the terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application; the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application and the above drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application or the above drawings are used to distinguish different objects and not to describe a specific order.

[0024] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments can be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0025] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a dairy cow medicated bath robot, as Figures 1-4 shown, comprising a moving base 1; an adjusting platform provided on the moving base 1; and a medicated bath main body provided above the adjusting platform; wherein, the medicated bath main body includes: a robotic arm 2 rotatably provided on the adjusting platform; a mounting seat 3 rotatably provided at the output end of the robotic arm 2; a first motor 4 provided outside the robotic arm 2, the output end of the first motor 4 being key-fixed to the end of the mounting seat 3; a spraying seat 5 rotatably provided on the upper surface of the mounting seat 3, a plurality of spray heads 6 being provided on the spraying seat 5; a second motor 27 provided on the other side of the mounting seat 3, the output end of the second motor 27 being key-fixed to the end of the spraying seat 5; a liquid storage tank 7 provided beside the moving base 1, a medicated bath pipe 9 being connected to the liquid storage tank 7 through a first pump body 8, the medicated bath pipe 9 extending to one side of the mounting seat 3 and being communicated with the spraying seat 5; a stirring rod 10 rotatably provided in the liquid storage tank 7; and a third motor 11 provided outside the liquid storage tank 7, the output end of the third motor 11 being key-fixed and communicated with the end of the stirring rod 10.

[0026] It should be noted that since the existing cleaning liquid for dairy cow nipples is prone to stratification after long-term standing, which reduces the cleaning effect, limits the spraying area, and further affects the cleaning quality. In addition, the temperature of the liquid medicine cannot be adjusted, making it unable to meet the requirements of different cleaning tasks. Finally, there is a lack of a cleaning mechanism for the spray head 6, and long-term use may cause blockage, which in turn affects the cleaning effect. Through the highly flexible and adaptable design of the robotic arm 2 in this solution, it is ensured that the spray head 6 can accurately align with the parts of the dairy cow to be treated, achieving comprehensive cleaning. At the same time, the application of the infrared sensor 24 makes the cleaning process more automated and intelligent, operating only when the target object is present, which not only improves the adaptability of the system but also significantly enhances the working efficiency. In addition, the device also ensures the best cleaning effect by optimizing the quality of the liquid medicine and the cleaning liquid, such as the stirring rod 10 preventing the precipitation of the liquid medicine, and the temperature sensor 22 and the heating block 21 controlling the temperature of the cleaning liquid. Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure the best working condition of the spray seat 5, extend its service life, and further improve the overall working efficiency. These features together reflect the intelligence and high efficiency of the device.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, this solution mainly includes a moving base 1; an adjustment platform provided on the moving base 1; and a medicated bath main body provided above the adjustment platform. The dairy cows to be medicated are guided to its side by the moving base 1, and then the robotic arm 2 starts to move precisely along the pre-programmed path. When the first motor 4 is activated, the mounting base 3 and the spray seat 5 start to rotate flexibly under the drive of the robotic arm 2 to adjust the direction and position of the spray seat 5 to ensure that it can accurately align with the abdominal nipples of the dairy cow to be treated. The spray seat 5 is equipped with multiple spray heads 6. When the spray seat 5 is adjusted to the best position, the liquid medicine is precisely delivered from the liquid storage tank 7 to the spray seat 5 through the medicated bath pipe 9. To ensure the quality and effect of the liquid medicine, the stirring rod 10 in the liquid storage tank 7 starts to rotate under the drive of the third motor 11, which effectively prevents the precipitation or stratification of the liquid medicine and ensures the uniform mixing of the liquid medicine. When the second motor 27 is started, the spray seat 5 rotates on the mounting base 3, which further adjusts the spraying angle and range of the spray heads 6. This design ensures that the liquid medicine can accurately cover the nipples of the dairy cow, thus achieving an efficient and accurate medicated bath treatment.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1-2 shown, the adjustment platform includes: a lead screw slide 12 provided in the moving base; a receiving seat 13 provided at the moving end of the lead screw slide 12; a rotating platform 14 rotatably provided on the receiving seat 13; a fourth motor 15 provided in the receiving seat 13, the output end of the fourth motor 15 is key-fixed to the end of the rotating platform 14, and the robotic arm 2 is provided on the upper surface of the rotating platform 14.

[0029] In this embodiment, the motor of the lead screw slide 12 starts, and its moving end drives the receiving seat 13 to perform horizontal displacement. When the fourth motor 15 starts to work, the rotational power at its output end is efficiently transmitted to the rotating platform 14 through key connection, thereby precisely controlling the rotation of the rotating platform 14. This enables the robotic arm 2 to not only flexibly adjust its direction or position as the rotating platform 14 rotates, but also smoothly perform a linear motion along the movement axis of the lead screw slide 12 simultaneously. As a result, the robotic arm 2 can flexibly adjust its position and direction within a relatively large space range to meet different working requirements.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown, a cleaning seat 16 and a cleaning water tank 17 are provided beside the moving base. A cleaning pipe 19 is connected to the cleaning water tank 17 through a second pump body 18, and the cleaning water pipe extends to one side of the cleaning seat 16 and is connected to a cleaning head 20.

[0031] In this embodiment, the cleaning liquid is stored in the cleaning water tank 17. The second pump body 18 generates sufficient suction to extract the cleaning liquid from the cleaning water tank 17. The extracted cleaning liquid is conveyed to the cleaning head 20 through the cleaning pipe 19 and is precisely sprayed onto the spraying seat 5 through the cleaning head 20. Through regular cleaning and maintenance, the spraying seat 5 can maintain its optimal working state, which not only extends the service life of the spraying seat 5, but also ensures that the cleaning work of the bovine teat can be carried out efficiently and reliably.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1-3 shown, a heating block 21 and a temperature sensor 22 (LM - 400) are provided on the side wall of the liquid storage tank 7. A controller 23 (STM32F1) and an infrared sensor 24 (HC - SR501) are provided on one side of the mounting seat 3 adjacent to the spraying seat 5. The controller 23 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 22 and the infrared sensor 24.

[0033] In this embodiment, the heating block 21 is installed on the side wall of the liquid storage tank 7. Its main function is to heat the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 7. By heating the cleaning liquid, a better cleaning effect can be achieved or specific cleaning tasks can be adapted. The temperature sensor 22 is used to monitor the temperature of the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 7. It can detect the temperature of the cleaning liquid in real time and transmit this information to the controller 23. The function of the temperature sensor 22 is to ensure that the temperature of the cleaning liquid is within a suitable range to avoid the negative impact of too high or too low temperature on the cleaning effect. The infrared sensor 24 is installed on one side of the mounting seat 3 adjacent to the spraying seat 5. Its main function is to detect the presence and position of the object to be cleaned. When the target object enters the detection range of the infrared sensor 24, it will send a signal to the controller 23, informing the controller 23 to start the cleaning operation. The role of the infrared sensor 24 is to realize an automated and intelligent cleaning process. By detecting the presence of the target object, the infrared sensor 24 can ensure that the cleaning operation is carried out when needed, avoiding waste and misoperation.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 3 shown, a plurality of stirring blades 25 are arranged on the outer side of the stirring rod 10.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the stirring rod 10 rotates, the stirring blades 25 on its outer side will rotate accordingly. These blades can cut, stir and push the cleaning liquid, causing it to flow and mix, so that the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 7 can be stirred more evenly and fully.

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown, a limiting sliding groove 26 for the sliding of the receiving seat 13 is provided on the moving base.

[0037] In this embodiment, the design of the limiting sliding groove 26 helps to prevent the receiving seat 13 from deviating from the predetermined path during the sliding process, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire device.

[0038] Working principle: When this device is in use, the dairy cows to be medicated bath are guided to its side through the moving seat 1; after the motor of the lead screw slide 12 is started, its moving end drives the receiving seat 13 to perform a horizontal displacement; when the fourth motor 15 starts to work, the rotational power at its output end is efficiently transmitted to the rotating platform 14 through key connection, thereby precisely controlling the rotation of the rotating platform 14; this enables the robotic arm 2 to not only flexibly adjust its direction or position along with the rotation of the rotating platform 14, but also simultaneously perform a smooth linear motion along the movement axis of the lead screw slide 12; such a design enables the robotic arm 2 to flexibly adjust its position and direction within a large space range to meet different working requirements; subsequently, the robotic arm 2 starts to move precisely along the pre-programmed path;

[0039] When the first motor 4 is activated, the mounting base 3 and the spraying base 5 start to rotate flexibly under the drive of the robotic arm 2. The infrared sensor 24 is installed on one side of the mounting base 3 adjacent to the spraying base 5, and its main function is to detect the presence and position of the cleaning object. When the target object enters the detection range of the infrared sensor 24, it will send a signal to the controller 23, informing the controller 23 to start the cleaning operation. Such a design makes the cleaning process more automated and intelligent. The cleaning operation is only carried out when the target object exists, avoiding unnecessary waste and misoperation, and ensuring that the spray head 6 can accurately aim at the abdominal nipples of the cows to be treated. Multiple spray heads 6 are equipped on the spraying base 5. When the spraying base 5 is adjusted to the optimal position, the liquid medicine is accurately transported from the liquid storage tank 7 to the spraying base 5 through the medicated bath pipe 9. When the second motor 27 is started, the spraying base 5 rotates on the mounting base 3, further adjusting the spraying angle and range of the spray head 6, ensuring that the liquid medicine can accurately cover the nipples of the cows. To ensure the quality and effect of the liquid medicine, the stirring rod 10 in the liquid storage tank 7 starts to rotate under the drive of the third motor 11, which effectively prevents the precipitation or stratification of the liquid medicine and ensures the uniform mixing of the liquid medicine.

[0040] The heating block 21 is installed on the side wall of the liquid storage tank 7, and its main function is to heat the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 7 to achieve a better cleaning effect or adapt to specific cleaning tasks. The temperature sensor 22 is used to monitor the temperature of the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 7, and detect and transmit the temperature information to the controller 23 in real time. In this way, if the temperature of the cleaning liquid is too high or too low, the controller 23 can correspondingly adjust the working state of the heating block 21 to ensure that the temperature of the cleaning liquid is always within the optimal range.

[0041] In addition, the cleaning liquid is stored in the cleaning water tank 17. The second pump body 18 generates sufficient suction to extract the cleaning liquid from the cleaning water tank 17. The extracted cleaning liquid is transported to the cleaning head 20 through the cleaning pipe 19 and is accurately sprayed onto the spraying base 5 through the cleaning head 20. Through regular cleaning and maintenance, the spraying base 5 can maintain its optimal working state, which not only extends the service life of the spraying base 5, but also ensures that the cleaning work of the cow nipples can be carried out efficiently and reliably.
