Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal husbandry and veterinary equipment, in particular to an oral splint for animal husbandry. Background Art
[0002] The primary function of a livestock oral speculum is to open the animal's mouth, allowing veterinarians to clearly visualize the internal structures and pathological conditions. It is widely used in oral care for a variety of animals, including examinations of teeth, oral mucosa, and throat, as well as for medication administration and injections.
[0003] Application No. 2023226596805 discloses a mouth-opening device for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, belonging to the technical field of animal husbandry medical instruments. The device comprises a fixed bracket and a rod connected to the fixed bracket and movable relative to the fixed bracket. The device further comprises a pair of first and second opening plates disposed at one end of the rod, and a first connecting member rotatably connected between the first opening plate and the rod, and a second connecting member rotatably connected between the second opening plate and the rod. When the rod moves relative to the fixed bracket, the first and second opening plates can move between an open position away from each other and a closed position close to each other. Using a mechanical device to open the animal's mouth eliminates the need for consuming a large amount of power, reduces labor intensity, and improves work efficiency. It also avoids the possibility of the veterinarian's palm being bitten due to direct contact with the animal's mouth with his hands.
[0004] The above technical solution can easily open the animal's mouth, but it still has the following disadvantages: 1. The operation is complicated, and both hands are required to operate the opening device at the same time to open the animal's mouth; 2. The contact area between the opening plate and the animal's teeth is small, and the force acting on the animal's teeth is large, which can easily cause the animal to panic, break free from the opener, and easily bite the veterinarian; 3. When administering medicine to the animal, the intubation tube lacks a fixing tool and is easy to fall off. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model provides an oral splint for animal husbandry, which solves the problems of existing oral splints for animal husbandry being complicated to operate, having a small contact surface between the splint plate and the animal, easily causing the animal to panic and break free from the splint, and lacking fixing tools for intubation when administering medicine to the animal.

[0016] Principle of the utility model: In order to solve the problem that the existing oral retractors are not convenient to operate, the utility model adopts a screw to drive the braces to move up and down, thereby opening the animal's mouth, saving time and effort, and can be operated with one hand, improving medical efficiency and alleviating animal pain. The screw is driven by a reducer and an electric motor, which converts high speed and low torque into low speed and high torque, which can easily open the animal's mouth. There is a switch on the inside of the grip and a reversing switch on the outside, which is convenient for the user to control the direction of the motor to realize the opening and closing of the braces. The braces can be manufactured in several groups according to the gum size of different animals to match different The invention can fit the animal's gums to the greatest extent, reduce the animal's discomfort, and avoid the user being bitten due to the animal's panic. The utility model is rotatably connected to the side of the middle frame with an intubation fixing plate, and the intubation fixing plate is provided with an intubation hole. The intubation hole is made of silicone material, with a hole in the center and grooves from the center to the outer edge. With such a structure, when injecting medicine, intubations of different diameters can pass through the intubation hole. Since the friction between the edge of the intubation hole and the intubation is large, the intubation is not easy to fall off, which can ensure smooth injection of medicine and facilitate the user to simultaneously open the animal's mouth and inject medicine.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the oral retractor for livestock is easy and quick to operate, has excellent ergonomics, can shorten the medical operation time, reduce the discomfort of animals, and prevent users from being bitten by animals.
