[0027] The connection method can be bonding, welding, bolt connection, etc., which shall be based on actual needs.
[0028] In order to solve the problem that the automatic infrared probe scratching device for livestock is not easy to disassemble and replace the scratching brush during use, which reduces the convenience of using the device, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The structure of the device body is a livestock scratching roller body 1 with a scratching brush on the surface. By rotating the scratching roller body 1, the scratching brush on the surface of the scratching roller body 1 scratches the skin surface of the cow. A through groove is provided on the top surface of the scratching roller body 1. The inner side walls of the scratching roller body 1 are welded with a bottom plate 2 and a top plate 3, respectively. The bottom plate 2 and the top plate 3 are respectively located at the bottom and top edges of the scratching roller body 1. Two through holes are provided on the top surface of the top plate 3, and an internal hollow plug-in rod 4 is inserted into the inner wall of the through hole of the top plate 3.
[0029] The inner wall of the plug rod 4 is slidingly connected with a moving block 5, so that the moving block 5 moves along the inner cavity of the plug rod 4. The top and bottom surfaces of the moving block 5 are respectively welded with a booster spring 6 and a connecting rod 7. The end face of the booster spring 6 is welded to the plug rod 4. The set booster spring 6 provides power to prevent the plug rod 4 from separating from the top plate 3, thereby improving the structural stability of the device parts. The bottom surfaces of the two connecting rods 7 are welded with a connecting plate 8, and the bottom surface of the connecting plate 8 abuts the top surface of the bottom plate 2. The top surface of the connecting plate 8 is welded with a rotating rod 9. The adjacent sides of the two plug rods 4 are welded with a fixed plate 10. The top surface of the fixed plate 10 is embedded in the rotating rod 9 for rotation, and the top surface of the rotating rod 9 is connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor 11 through a coupling.
[0030] The rotating motor 11 is provided to provide power, so that the output shaft of the rotating motor 11 drives the rotating rod 9 to rotate during the rotation, and the itching roller body 1 is rotated during the transmission process. At the same time, under the connection provided by the fixed plate 10, the contact between the two plug-in rods 4 is synchronously released, and a through groove is provided on the bottom surface of the top plate 3. The inner wall of the through groove of the top plate 3 is in sliding friction contact with the connecting plate 8 at a specified angle, so that the connecting plate 8 is rotated to the specified angle, so that the connecting plate 8 is separated from the itching roller body 1, and then the itching roller body 1 is conveniently disassembled and replaced without the need for disassembly tools, thereby improving the ease of use of the itching device.
[0031] The bottom surface of the plug-in rod 4 is embedded in the connecting rod 7 for sliding connection, the top surface of the fixed plate 10 is in contact with the top plate 3, and the fixed end of the rotating motor 11 is detachably connected to the L-shaped support plate 12 by bolts. The end surface of the support plate 12 is embedded in and fixedly connected with an infrared ranging sensor 19 for measuring the livestock spacing and controlling the automatic itching of the rubbing roller 1. The provided support plate 12 provides support and fixing for the infrared ranging sensor 19, and the outer wall of the support plate 12 is welded with a telescopic inner plate 13 with a plurality of through grooves on the top surface.
[0032] The telescopic inner plate 13 is embedded in the side and fixedly connected with the telescopic outer plate 14, and a groove is provided on the end face of the telescopic outer plate 14. The inner wall of the through groove of the telescopic outer plate 14 is slidably connected to the telescopic inner plate 13, and then the moving path of the telescopic inner plate 13 is fixed by the telescopic outer plate 14. Through grooves are provided on both sides of the telescopic outer plate 14, and the inner wall of the through groove of the telescopic outer plate 14 is slidably connected to the limit block 15. The adjacent sides of the two limit blocks 15 are welded to the telescopic inner plate 13. The two limit blocks 15 are provided to enhance the movement stability of the telescopic inner plate 13 and prevent the telescopic inner plate 13 from detaching from the telescopic outer plate 14 during movement, thereby improving the structural stability of the device parts. A pin 16 is embedded in the top surface of the telescopic outer plate 14 and slidably connected. The side of the pin 16 is plugged into the telescopic inner plate 13, and a mounting plate 17 is welded to the end face of the telescopic outer plate 14.
[0033] Four fixing ears are welded at the edge of the mounting plate 17, which makes it easy to fix the mounting plate 17 to the wall surface by fixing bolts. At the same time, when the telescopic inner plate 13 moves along the path of the telescopic outer plate 14, the lateral extension length of the telescopic inner plate 13 and the telescopic outer plate 14 is adjusted to increase the distance between the rubbing roller 1 and the wall to prevent the cow from rubbing the wall. A controller body 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 17 for receiving information from the infrared ranging sensor 19 to control the start and stop of the rotating motor 11. The controller body 18 is respectively connected to the rotating motor 11 and the infrared ranging sensor 19 by wires. The information that the cow is approaching the specified range is received by the infrared ranging sensor 19, and the information is transmitted to the controller body 18, which controls the start and stop of the rotating motor 11 through the controller body 18.
[0034] The rotating motor 11, the controller body 18, and the infrared ranging sensor 19 are all prior art. Their working principles, sizes, and models are irrelevant to the functions of this application, so they will not be described in detail. The control method of the present invention is controlled by the controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by technicians in this field. The provision of power is also common knowledge in this field. The present invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the present invention will no longer explain the control method and circuit connection in detail.
[0035] How it works
[0036] When the user uses the automatic infrared probe scratching device for animal husbandry, after the cow approaches to the specified range, the infrared ranging sensor 19 receives information and transmits the information to the controller body 18. The controller body 18 controls the opening and closing of the rotating motor 11. When the cow approaches, the scratching roller 1 rotates to scratch the cow's skin surface. When the cow moves away, the rotating motor 11 is turned off.
[0037] The telescopic inner plate 13 is moved along the inner cavity of the telescopic outer plate 14, the extension length of the telescopic inner plate 13 and the telescopic outer plate 14 is adjusted, and the distance between the itching roller body 1 and the wall is increased. Under the connecting action of the fixed plate 10, the two plug-in rods 4 and the top plate 3 are simultaneously released from the plug-in rod 4, so that the connecting rod 7 and the moving block 5 squeeze the booster spring 6 inside the plug-in rod 4, and the rotating rod 9 and the connecting plate 8 are rotated to the specified angle, so that the itching roller body 1 can be easily disassembled and replaced.
