[0002] The hooves of dairy cows are susceptible to infection, especially in a humid and dirty environment, which can easily lead to hoof diseases such as hoof rot and laminitis. The hooves of dairy cows will deform as they grow. Excessively long or irregular hooves will change the weight distribution of dairy cows and make it difficult for them to walk. Therefore, hoof trimming is an important management measure in the dairy cow breeding process. Its purpose is to maintain the health of the cows' hooves and prevent and treat hoof diseases.

[0003] For example, publication number CN220463967U discloses a pair of hoof trimmers for animal farming, comprising a handle having an anti-slip pad fixedly mounted on its outer wall, a telescopic rod fixedly connected to its upper end, a fixed block fixedly connected to its upper end, a movable block fixedly mounted to its upper end, and a connecting rod movably connected to its upper end. This utility model relates to a pair of hoof trimmers for animal farming.

[0004] However, in the prior art, when trimming the hooves of dairy cows, sometimes a single tool alone cannot successfully complete the entire hoof trimming process. This is because the cow's hoof has a complex structure and different parts have different trimming requirements. The cow's hoof includes not only the hard outer hoof wall, but also the relatively soft inner hoof and hoof sole. Especially when the hoof has not been trimmed for a long time, it may become deformed, overgrown, or accumulate dirt and keratin. These problems are difficult to fully address with a single tool.

[0021] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0022] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0023] Example 1: Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the utility model provides a hoof trimming device for dairy cow breeding, including an outer shell 1 and a handle 3, a lifting block 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the handle 3, a rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the handle 3, a rotating plate 12 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 10, a hoof trimming knife 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating plate 12, two locking holes 13 are provided on the outer surface of the rotating plate 12, and a limiting hole 15 is provided at one end of the rotating plate 12, a second limiting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of the handle 3, the second limiting rod 14 is slidably connected to the limiting hole 15, a second threaded rod 16 is threadedly connected to one side of the top of the handle 3, one end of the second threaded rod 16 passes through the handle 3, and the second threaded rod 16 is plugged into the locking hole 13, a fixing rod 8 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the lifting block 5, and a shovel blade 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing rod 8.

[0024] The following details the specific configuration and function of this embodiment. When trimming hooves, the operator can first perform a preliminary trim using the hoof trimming knife 4. The ingenious design of the hoof trimming knife 4 lies in the function of its rotating lever 10. When the operator rotates the rotating lever 10, the hoof trimming knife 4 swings out from the inside of the handle 3, allowing the hoof trimming knife 4 to smoothly enter the working state. During this rotation, the stop hole 15 and the second stop lever 14 slide against each other, ensuring the stability of the hoof trimming knife 4 and preventing misoperation during the hoof trimming process due to tool shaking or slipping. This stabilization mechanism not only improves hoof trimming accuracy but also reduces the operator's workload, ensuring a safer and more effective trimming process.

[0025] When hoof trimmer 4 is no longer in use, it is retracted into the inner side of handle 3 via a storage mechanism. At this point, the operator can press down on handle 3, causing the internal lifting block 5 to move along with it. Lifting block 5 pushes fixed rod 8 downward, allowing blade 18 to be easily removed. The primary function of blade 18 is to perform meticulous trimming and remove difficult areas of the hoof. Especially during the trimming process, blade 18 polishes and refines the hoof surface, ensuring a smooth, crack-resistant finish.

[0026] This hoof trimming method, combining the hoof trimmer 4 with the scraper 18, significantly improves hoof trimming effectiveness. The hoof trimmer 4 is used for preliminary hoof trimming, removing excess length, while the scraper 18 provides detailed processing and polishing, ensuring the hoof is shaped to suit the cow's walking needs. This method not only improves hoof trimming efficiency and reduces operation time, but also reduces stress in cows, contributing to their overall health.

[0027] Example 2: Figure 2 - Figure 4 As shown, the outer surface of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to an anti-slip sleeve 2, and anti-slip grooves are provided on both sides of the anti-slip sleeve 2. A first limiting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the top of one end of the hoof trimmer 4, and a slot 17 is provided on one side of the top of the handle 3. The first limiting rod 11 is plugged into the slot 17, and the outer surface of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to the anti-slip sleeve 2. The lifting block 5 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 7 on both sides, and a slide groove 6 is provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the housing 1. The limiting block 7 is slidably connected to the slide groove 6, and a first threaded rod 9 is threadedly connected to the top and bottom ends of one side of the housing 1. One end of the first threaded rod 9 passes through the housing 1 and is threadedly connected to the limiting block 7.

[0028] The entire embodiment achieves the following effect: the hoof trimming knife 4, guided by the second limiting rod 14 and limiting hole 15, maintains a precise trajectory throughout the entire operation. During hoof trimming, the hoof trimming knife 4 can be easily rotated out of the handle 3 by rotating the rod 10. This design ensures that the hoof trimming knife 4 rotates smoothly without deviating from the intended path, thereby improving operational safety and efficiency. Once the hoof trimming knife 4 reaches the working position, the connection between the second threaded rod 16 and the locking hole 13 securely locks the knife in place, preventing accidental slippage or loosening during the trimming process and ensuring stability during the hoof trimming operation.

[0029] When the hoof trimmer 4 is no longer in use and needs to be stored, the first stopper 11 is precisely inserted into the retaining slot 17. This process is achieved through a precisely designed guide system, ensuring smooth and accurate storage. Simultaneously, the other locking hole 13 precisely mates with the second threaded rod 16, further locking the hoof trimmer 4 once it is fully stored. This design not only effectively prevents the hoof trimmer 4 from accidentally sliding or falling off when not in use, but also ensures the safety and compactness of the device during portability or storage.

[0030] As the lifting block 5 moves up and down, it slides freely inside the housing 1 and interacts with the stopper 7 inside the chute 6 to ensure that the lifting block 5 always stays on the correct track. This sliding connection design not only makes the lifting block 5 more stable, but also prevents the device from jamming during the lifting process.

[0031] When the hoof trimmer 4 and handle 3 are fully retracted into the housing 1, the fixing rod 8 and blade 18 are also fully extended. This synchronized operation design allows the user to quickly switch between different hoof trimming tools, greatly improving operational convenience. Simultaneously, the first threaded rod 9 securely connects with the stop block 7, effectively locking the blade 18. This prevents any unintentional movement or motion of the blade 18 during use, ensuring its stability and accuracy. This design significantly reduces errors and improves operational safety and accuracy, especially when trimming complex hoof areas.

[0032] The device's usage and operating principle: During hoof trimming, the hoof trimming knife 4 and the scraper 18 can be combined to enhance hoof trimming effectiveness. During hoof trimming, the rotating rod 10 rotates the hoof trimming knife 4 out from the inside of the handle 3. During rotation, the stopper hole 15 and the second stopper rod 14 slide relative to each other, ensuring the stability of the hoof trimming knife 4 and facilitating hoof trimming. When the hoof trimming knife 4 is retracted into the handle 3, the handle 3 moves downward, driving the lifting block 5 with it, retracting the handle 3. At this point, the lifting block 5 pushes the fixed rod 8 downward, facilitating the use of the scraper 18, allowing the scraper 18 to trim the hoof. Guided by the second stopper rod 14 and the stopper hole 15, the hoof trimming knife 4 is swung out by the rotating rod 10 and connected to the locking hole 13 via the second threaded rod 16, ensuring stability during hoof trimming. When retracted, the first stopper rod 11 precisely enters the latching slot 17, and the other locking hole 13 locks with the second threaded rod 16, preventing the hoof trimming knife 4 from moving while retracted. During the raising and lowering of the lifting block 5, the stopper 7 slides within the chute 6, ensuring the stability of the lifting block 5. When the hoof trimmer 4 and handle 3 are stored within the housing 1, the fixing rod 8 and the scraper 18 are fully extended, and the first threaded rod 9 connects with the stopper 7, locking the scraper 18 and preventing it from moving freely during use. This combination of the hoof trimmer 4 and scraper 18 significantly improves hoof trimming results.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any other form. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes for application in other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment made according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
