[0025] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or device. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or device comprising the element.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a muzzle for animal disease control and prevention in the present application includes the following main components: a muzzle body 1, a reinforcement ring 2, a flexible strap 3, an adjustment buckle 4 and an elastic connector 5. These components work together to solve the problem that some animals will struggle to break free when wearing the muzzle, causing the connection parts to break or loosen easily, thereby affecting the functionality and safety of the muzzle.

[0027] The muzzle body 1 is designed to fit over the animal's mouth. It is preferably constructed of a soft yet tough material, such as high-quality silicone or soft medical plastic, to ensure the animal's comfort and safety. A reinforcement ring 2 is secured to the outside of the muzzle body 1 to enhance its structural strength. The reinforcement ring 2 can be secured to the muzzle body 1 through heat pressing, bonding, or other methods to prevent breakage or loosening due to the animal's vigorous movements. The reinforcement ring 2 is typically made of metal, hard plastic, or other high-strength materials, offering high rigidity and wear resistance.

[0028] The flexible strap 3 is connected to both sides of the reinforcement ring 2 and is mainly used to fix the muzzle body 1 to the animal's head to increase the stability of the wearer. The flexible strap 3 is usually made of soft nylon or elastic fabric, which has a certain degree of elasticity and comfort to adapt to the shape and size of different animal heads. The adjustment buckle 4 is set on the flexible strap 3. The length of the flexible strap 3 can be easily adjusted by adjusting the buckle 4 to ensure that the muzzle body 1 can fit tightly on the animal's head to prevent it from slipping or falling off. The design of the adjustment buckle 4 should be easy to operate, and usually adopts a snap-on or spiral adjustment method to meet the needs of quick adjustment.

[0029] The elastic connector 5 is located at the junction of the reinforcement ring 2 and the flexible strap 3. Its primary function is to absorb the impact force generated when an animal struggles to break free, reducing stress on the connection. The elastic connector 5 can be made of elastic rubber, a spring, or other elastic material, and is secured between the reinforcement ring 2 and the flexible strap 3 by riveting, bonding, or snapping. When an animal struggles to break free, the elastic connector 5 effectively cushions the impact, preventing the connection between the flexible strap 3 and the reinforcement ring 2 from breaking or loosening.

[0030] In summary, the muzzle for animal disease control and prevention of the present application can not only effectively restrict the oral activities of animals, but also maintain stability and safety during intense animal activities through the synergistic effect of the muzzle body 1, the reinforcement ring 2, the flexible strap 3, the adjustment buckle 4 and the elastic connector 5. The reinforcement ring 2 enhances the structural strength of the muzzle body 1, the flexible strap 3 and the adjustment buckle 4 ensure the stability of the muzzle on the animal's head, and the elastic connector 5 reduces the stress at the connection part, fundamentally solving the problem of the connection part being easily broken or loosened due to the force with which some animals struggle to break free when wearing the muzzle. This design improves the functionality and safety of the muzzle, ensuring the effective implementation of animal disease control and prevention.

[0031] In one embodiment, the muzzle body 1 of an animal disease control muzzle of the present application is composed of multiple detachable modules. These modules can be connected by plugging, facilitating cleaning or replacement of individual components during use. This design avoids the need to replace the entire muzzle due to damage to a module, thereby improving the product's cost-effectiveness and durability.

[0032] In one embodiment, the connection method of the detachable modules specifically includes: matching protrusions and grooves are provided at the interfaces between the modules, and the protrusions and grooves are fixed to each other by interlocking. The structure of each module can be designed into different shapes according to its location. For example, the front module is used to be fixed to the front end of the animal's mouth, the rear module is used to cover the lower jaw, and the modules on both sides are respectively attached to the sides of the animal's mouth. In order to ensure the stability and sealing of the connection, a rubber gasket or other elastic material can be provided at the interface to increase the friction during insertion and prevent it from falling off during use.

[0033] For example, in practical applications, the modules can be assembled by inserting the protrusions on one module into the grooves on another through a rotating or pushing motion. When a module needs to be cleaned or replaced, the corresponding part can be easily disassembled by simply reversing the operation without affecting the functions of other modules.

[0034] refer to Figure 2In one embodiment, the reinforcement ring 2 of the animal disease control muzzle of the present application is made of high-strength material to ensure its durability and safety during use. A buffer layer 6 is provided on the inner side of the reinforcement ring 2. The buffer layer 6 has good resilience and comfort, and can effectively absorb the impact force generated by the animal's violent struggle, preventing the connection between the reinforcement ring 2 and the muzzle body 1 from loosening or breaking. The buffer layer 6 is made of memory foam material, which can provide sufficient protection and support when the animal struggles, thereby reducing the pressure on the muzzle body 1.

[0035] An adhesive layer 8, made of medical-grade adhesive, is positioned between the cushioning layer 6 and the reinforcement ring 2, ensuring that the cushioning layer 6 is securely attached to the inner side of the reinforcement ring 2. This design not only enhances the overall structural stability but also prevents it from falling off or separating, even with prolonged use. The cushioning layer 6 also features several raised dots 9 on its surface, which increase the contact area with the animal's skin, thereby reducing localized pressure and preventing skin damage from prolonged wear, thereby enhancing both comfort and safety.

[0036] For example, during actual production, the reinforcement ring 2 can be made of materials such as aluminum alloy or high-strength plastic. The buffer layer 6 can be affixed to the inner side of the reinforcement ring 2 through injection molding, and then tightly bonded using a medical-grade adhesive. The bumps 9 can be directly formed using a mold during the production process to ensure uniform distribution and height consistency.

[0037] Continue to refer Figure 2 In one embodiment, an animal disease control muzzle of the present application includes a reinforcement ring 2 provided with a plurality of through-holes 7. These through-holes 7 not only provide good breathability and facilitate air circulation, thereby preventing moisture and heat in the mouth and nose caused by prolonged wear, but also reduce discomfort to the animal while maintaining the stability and firmness of the muzzle, thereby improving its wearing comfort. Through the reasonable hole spacing and aperture design, the structural strength of the muzzle is ensured while meeting the requirements of ventilation and heat dissipation.

[0038] The through-holes 7 on the reinforcement ring 2 are evenly distributed and have a moderate pore size, typically 2-5 mm. This ensures effective air circulation without compromising the overall structural stability. Specifically, the design of the through-holes 7 can be adjusted appropriately based on the animal species and usage environment. For example, for scenarios requiring greater air permeability, a larger pore size or increased number of holes can be selected. Furthermore, the specific layout of the through-holes 7 can be simulated and optimized using computer-aided design software to ensure its effectiveness and safety in practical applications.

[0039] In one embodiment, returning reference Figure 1The flexible strap 3 of the animal disease control muzzle of this application is made of a skin-friendly textile material. The flexible strap 3 is additionally provided with anti-slip patterns 10 on the outside. These patterns, formed from a specially treated skin-friendly textile material, are distributed across the entire outer surface of the flexible strap 3, forming a three-dimensional friction surface. The mesh design of the anti-slip patterns 10 not only increases friction but also effectively prevents loosening due to slippage, thereby improving the overall binding effect of the muzzle.

[0040] Furthermore, the flexible strap 3 is connected to the muzzle body 1 via connectors at both ends, ensuring stability and comfort during wear. The anti-slip pattern 10 maintains good friction even in wet environments, preventing slipping caused by sweat or other liquids and ensuring the muzzle remains secure throughout use. For example, one end of the flexible strap 3 can be connected to the other end using a buckle or Velcro to form a closed loop, ensuring that binding pressure is evenly distributed across the animal's head. The anti-slip pattern 10 also reduces movement of the strap on the animal's head.

[0041] Specifically, a special mesh-like anti-slip coating or structure can be added to the surface of textile materials, for example, by forming a raised mesh texture on the material surface through heat pressing, injection molding, or printing. This not only significantly increases the surface roughness and friction of the material, but also ensures that it will not easily wear out during long-term wear, maintaining a long-term anti-slip effect.

[0042] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 The present invention discloses an animal disease control muzzle with an internal spring return mechanism 11 in the adjustment buckle 4. This mechanism adjusts the tightness of the flexible strap 3, dynamically adjusting to the shape of the animal's head and ensuring the muzzle is more securely fixed and less likely to come loose. The adjustment buckle 4 is located at one end of the flexible strap 3 and is fixed to the muzzle body 1 via a connector for easy operation and adjustment.

[0043] The adjustment buckle 4 consists of an outer shell and an internal spring return mechanism 11. The outer shell has a certain length and width to accommodate the spring return mechanism 11 while ensuring the overall structural strength of the adjustment buckle 4. The spring return mechanism 11 consists of a spring and two connecting parts: one of which is fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell, and the other is connected to the flexible strap 3. When the flexible strap 3 is pulled or loosened, the spring automatically adjusts its tension, allowing the flexible strap 3 to adjust to different head sizes and shapes, achieving dynamic adjustment.

[0044] For example, in actual use, when an animal wears the muzzle, the spring return mechanism 11 automatically adjusts the length of the flexible strap 3 based on changes in pressure on the animal's head, ensuring the muzzle always maintains the appropriate tightness. This not only improves comfort and safety, but also avoids problems such as insecure or uncomfortable wearing caused by being too tight or too loose.

[0045] In one embodiment, the animal disease control muzzle of the present application is characterized in that the adjustment buckle 4 is provided with a locking device 12. The locking device 12 can lock the flexible strap 3 after it is adjusted to a suitable length, preventing it from being accidentally loosened during use, thereby improving overall safety.

[0046] For example, the locking device 12 can consist of a button and several engaging teeth. These engaging teeth are located inside the adjustment buckle 4 and engage with corresponding teeth on the flexible strap 3. When the button is pressed, the engaging teeth disengage from the flexible strap 3, allowing the strap length to be freely adjusted. When the button is released, the engaging teeth reengage the teeth in the teeth of the flexible strap 3, securing the strap in the adjusted position. This design ensures the tightness and stability of the mouthpiece, effectively preventing accidental loosening.

[0047] In one embodiment, the elastic connector 5 of an animal disease control and prevention muzzle of the present application is made of a high-strength elastic rope to ensure that it has sufficient elasticity and recovery ability when the animal struggles. Reinforcement inserts 13 are provided at both ends of the elastic connector 5, and the reinforcement inserts 13 can be fixed between the reinforcement ring 2 and the flexible strap 3 by welding or bonding. In this way, the reinforcement insert 13 can significantly improve the tensile strength of the connection point, ensuring that the connection part is not easily damaged during the animal's violent struggle. Specifically, the design of the reinforcement insert 13 enables it to maintain a stable connection state when it is subjected to a large tensile force, effectively preventing the elastic connector 5 from detaching from the reinforcement ring 2 or the flexible strap 3, thereby ensuring the reliability and service life of the muzzle.

[0048] For example, in one embodiment, the reinforcing insert 13 can be made of metal or high-strength plastic material, and is firmly connected to the reinforcement ring 2 and the flexible strap 3 by welding or bonding. The length and material of the high-strength elastic rope can be selected according to actual application requirements to accommodate animals of different types and sizes. In addition, the specific position of the elastic connector 5 is in the central part between the reinforcement ring 2 and the flexible strap 3 to ensure that the entire muzzle is evenly stressed during use and will not be damaged due to excessive local stress. The reinforcement ring 2 is usually located at the front of the muzzle to support and fix the muzzle body 1, while the flexible strap 3 is wrapped around the back of the animal's head to provide a stable fixation.

[0049] In actual operation, when using this device, the muzzle body 1 is first placed over the animal's mouth. The design of the muzzle body 1 effectively restricts the animal's oral movements, preventing behaviors such as biting and licking, thereby reducing the risk of disease transmission. Next, a reinforcement ring 2 fixed to the outside of the muzzle body 1 further strengthens the overall structural strength of the muzzle, ensuring it will not break or loosen easily if the animal struggles or attempts to break free. To more securely secure the muzzle to the animal's head, a flexible strap 3, connected to the reinforcement ring 2 at both ends, is wrapped around the animal's head and secured. The user can adjust the length of the flexible strap 3 using the buckle 4 to accommodate different head sizes, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit. If the animal begins to struggle, the elastic connector 5 activates, absorbing and dissipating the impact force generated by the struggle, reducing stress at the connection point and protecting the overall structural integrity and stability. Through the synergistic effect of these components, the present invention effectively solves the problem of the connection point being easily broken or loosened due to the animal struggling, thereby improving the functionality and safety of the animal disease control muzzle.

[0050] The above are only specific embodiments of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and such modifications or substitutions should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
