Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model mainly relates to the technical field of animal nail trimming, in particular to an animal claw sharpening device. Background Art

[0002] Excessively long animal nails can affect the animal's normal life and physical safety. Due to the limited space for movement, artificially raised animals have much less exercise than normal activities in the wild. This directly leads to insufficient use and wear of the animal's nails, resulting in excessive growth and piercing of the paw pads, seriously affecting the animal's movement and health. Therefore, it is extremely important to trim the animal's nails. Currently, there are two main methods for trimming animal nails: one is to trim the nails after anesthetizing the animal, but this method requires the cost of anesthetic drugs and the risk of death from anesthesia; the other is to train the animal to cooperate with regular nail trimming, but this method has high requirements for animal training and is not universally applicable. At the same time, due to the uncertainty of the animal's emotions, there is still a great risk when trimming its nails. Therefore, there is a need for an animal claw sharpening device that can trim the animal's nails without anesthetizing the animal or performing other actions that may cause harm, and without the need for staff to get close to the animal.

[0006] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0007] The grinding mechanism comprises a motor and a grinding wheel disc mounted on an output shaft at the front end of the motor. The grinding wheel disc is close to the notch and can contact the animal nail passing through the notch.

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Example

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the animal claw sharpening device of this embodiment includes a hollow three-dimensional model 1. The outer shell 11 of the three-dimensional model 1 is formed with several notches 111 for animal nails to pass through. Several grinding mechanisms 2 for sharpening the animal's nails are installed inside the three-dimensional model 1 near the notches 111. In this embodiment, the three-dimensional model 1 is designed to be the size of a real wild boar. By placing animal-attracting food inside the three-dimensional model 1, the animal is attracted to extend its nail into the three-dimensional model 1. When the animal's nail passes through the notch 111 and presses against the grinding mechanism 2, the grinding mechanism 2 squeezes the press switch 16, turning on power and starting the device, thereby sharpening the animal's nail. This device avoids direct contact between humans and animals when trimming animal nails, and also eliminates the need for other potentially harmful behaviors. While achieving the claw sharpening function, it ensures the safety of both humans and animals. The device can also start and stop autonomously based on the animal's behavior, enhancing its safety. Furthermore, the amount of animal nail debris inside the device can be used to determine the frequency of use.

[0023] In this embodiment, the grinding mechanism 2 includes a motor 21 and a grinding wheel 22 mounted on an output shaft at the front end of the motor 21. The grinding wheel 22 is located near the notch 111 and is capable of contacting an animal nail passing through the notch 111. The operating principle of the grinding mechanism 2 is that the motor 21 drives the grinding wheel 22 to rotate. When the animal nail passes through the notch 111 and contacts the grinding wheel 22, the motor 21 and grinding wheel 22 are activated to grind the animal nail. By setting the power of the motor 21, the speed of the grinding wheel 22 can be adjusted to avoid damage to the animal caused by excessively high speed or failure to complete the grinding operation due to excessively low speed. Therefore, the power of the grinding mechanism 2 can be adjusted according to the different animals being used, thereby enhancing the applicability of the device while also ensuring the safety of the animals.

[0024] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional model 1 further includes a bracket 12 for supporting the housing 11. A slide rail 13 is provided on the bracket 12, on which a motor 21 is slidably mounted. The bracket 12 also includes a blocking rod 14 located behind the motor 21, with a spring 15 interposed between the blocking rod 14 and the motor 21. A push switch 16 is also mounted on the blocking rod 14, located directly behind the motor 21. This push switch 16 is triggered when the motor 21 moves backward. After the animal's nail passes through the notch 111, it directly presses the grinding wheel 22, pushing the grinding wheel 22 and the motor 21 along the slide rail 13. This causes the motor 21 to contact the push switch 16 mounted on the blocking rod 14, thereby connecting the power supply 19 and activating the motor 21, driving the grinding wheel 22 to perform the nail grinding operation. The motor 21 is connected to the spring 15. When the animal pushes the grinding mechanism 2 to move, the spring 15 is compressed and tightened. When the animal stops pressing the grinding wheel 22, the spring 15 relaxes and rebounds, thereby separating the motor 21 from the press switch 16, completing the power-off operation, and the motor 21 stops working, realizing the automatic start and stop of the claw grinding device, improving the safety performance and applicability and making the entire device more energy-efficient.

[0025] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional model 1 has a built-in power supply 19. The power supply 19, the push switch 16, and the motor 21 are connected in series. The power supply 19 is electrically connected to the push switch 16 and the motor 21 in sequence. When the motor 21 contacts the push switch 16, the power supply 19 is connected, thereby starting the motor 21. When the motor 21 is separated from the push switch 16, the circuit is disconnected and the motor 21 is shut down, providing the hardware foundation for realizing the automatic claw sharpening function of the device.

[0026] In this embodiment, a storage box 17 for holding food attractants is also provided within the three-dimensional model 1, and a door 18 is installed at the bottom of the three-dimensional model 1. The food can be placed in the storage box 17 and replaced through the door 18 at the bottom. This not only facilitates food replacement and prevents contamination of the three-dimensional model 1, but also allows the placement of live animals such as chickens and rabbits in the storage box 17 to attract large predators. This ensures the survival of the attractants while preventing them from moving around and causing damage to the device, thereby enhancing the practicality, applicability, and service life of the device.

[0027] In this embodiment, the notches 111 are distributed on the top and sides of the housing 11. The positions of the notches 111 are set according to the animal's hunting habits: the notches 111 are opened on the top and sides of the housing 11, so that the animal can achieve the claw sharpening effect no matter which direction it extends its claws, thereby enhancing the applicability of the device.

[0028] In this embodiment, the width of the slot 111 is set to 4 mm to 7 mm. Since the nails of large animals, such as tigers, are less than 7 mm long, to ensure that the animal can only insert its claws into the slot 111 when contacting the device, and not its teeth, the width of the slot 111 is set to 4 mm to 7 mm. This allows only the animal's nails to enter the slot 111, preventing damage to other parts of the animal, thereby improving the safety performance of the device.
