[0022] Example 1
[0023] See Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a portable veterinary animal restraint frame, including a rectangular bracket 1, a mesh bag 2 on the bracket 1, four dot-shaped holes on the mesh bag 2, a front support leg 3 and a rear support leg 4 rotatably mounted at one end of the bracket 1, both the front support leg 3 and the rear support leg 4 are U-shaped tubes, the two ends of the opening of the front support leg 3 and the rear support leg 4 are respectively rotatable at one end of the bracket 1, and two support rods 5 are rotatably mounted at the other end of the bracket 1, the two support rods 5 are respectively located on both sides of the bracket 1;
[0024] Each support rod 5 has a long connecting rod 6 and a short connecting rod 7 rotatably connected to its movable end. The long connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the middle of the vertical part of the front support leg 3, and the short connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the middle of the vertical part of the rear support leg 4.
[0025] When the animal restraint is needed, first take out the restraint in its folded state, grasp the bracket 1, and rotate the front support leg 3 outward from its position where it is attached to the bracket 1, so that it stands at a certain angle on the ground. At this time, the U-shaped tubular structure of the front support leg 3 and the rear support leg 4 is stably supported on the ground. Under the action of the long connecting rod 6 and the short connecting rod 7, the front support leg 3, the rear support leg 4 and the support rod 5 move together, so that the entire restraint is stably unfolded. The four dotted holes on the net bag 2 can be used to fix the animal's limbs or other parts of the body to prevent the animal from sliding inside the net bag 2.
[0026] Place the animal that needs to be restrained on the unfolded net bag 2. Secure the animal's body or limbs by threading ropes or straps through the holes in the net bag 2. For example, the animal's limbs can be threaded through the four holes and tied tightly, allowing the animal to lie safely on the net bag 2, unable to struggle or move freely, making it easier for veterinarians to perform examinations, treatments, or intravenous infusions.
[0027] After use, first untie the ropes or straps securing the animal, then rotate the front outrigger 3 towards the bracket 1 to make it fit snugly against the bracket 1 for easy carrying and storage. The entire folding process is simple and quick, making it convenient for veterinarians to use this restraint frame in different locations.
[0028] With this design, the portable veterinary animal restraint can be quickly unfolded and stably secured to animals when in use, and can be easily folded and stored when not in use, saving space and making it easy to carry, which greatly facilitates veterinarians' outdoor diagnosis and treatment work.
[0029] An infusion rod 8 is installed inside one of the vertical sections of the front support leg 3. The infusion rod 8 is a multi-section telescopic rod, and a hook is installed at the top of the infusion rod 8.
[0030] When an animal needs to receive intravenous fluids, unfold the folded support frame and secure the animal. Then, pull out the multi-section telescopic infusion rod 8 from the vertical part of the front support leg 3 of the support frame. Depending on the actual situation, extend the infusion rod 8 to a suitable height to ensure that the infusion bottle can be suspended in a suitable position, facilitating the smooth delivery of the medication into the animal's body.
[0031] Hang the infusion bottle on the hook at the top of the infusion rod 8. By adjusting the height of the infusion rod 8, the infusion tube can hang down naturally without being pulled or twisted, ensuring smooth infusion.
[0032] After the infusion is completed, remove the infusion bottle from the hook, and then retract the infusion rod 8 back into the vertical part of the front support leg 3 to restore it to its initial state, so that the bracket can be folded and stored. In this way, when the infusion rod 8 is not in use, it can be properly stored in the front support leg 3 without taking up extra space, while also protecting the infusion rod 8 from damage and making it convenient for the next use.
[0033] A limit lock 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the rear outrigger 4. The limit lock 9 includes a housing 10 fixedly installed on the rear outrigger 4, a locking tongue 11 slidably installed inside the housing 10, and a control rod 12 rotatably installed inside the housing 10. The control rod 12 is L-shaped and rotatably connected to the housing 10 in the middle. A slot is opened in the middle of the locking tongue 11. One end of the control rod 12 is inserted into the slot, and the other end extends to the outside of the housing 10 and is fixedly installed with a wrench. The control rod 12 abuts against the middle of the locking tongue 11.
[0034] A spring 13 is provided between the locking tongue 11 and the outer casing 10.
[0035] A limiting ring 14 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the support rod 5.
[0036] When the mounting bracket is unfolded, as the support rod 5 rotates, the limiting ring 14 at the lower end of the support rod 5 will approach the rear support leg 4. When the mounting bracket is unfolded to a suitable angle and position, the limiting ring 14 presses against the locking tongue 11. At this time, the spring 13 is compressed, and the limiting ring 14 is inserted into the gap between the outer shell 10 and the locking tongue 11. Then, under the elastic force of the spring 13, the locking tongue 11 moves downward and inserts into the limiting ring 14, thereby fixing the support rod 5 in the current position and ensuring that the mounting bracket maintains a stable unfolded state during use.
[0037] During the unfolding of the fixed frame, the position of the support rod 5 can be automatically fixed without manual operation, which greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of unfolding the fixed frame.
[0038] When the folding bracket needs to be folded, the user turns the lever, the control lever 12 rotates and pulls the locking tongue 11, so that the locking tongue 11 disengages from the limiting ring 14. At this time, the spring 13 is compressed. After the locking tongue 11 disengages from the limiting ring 14, the support rod 5 can rotate freely. Then the bracket can be folded and stored according to the folding steps.
[0039] Two rubber pads 15 are respectively installed on the closed ends of the front support leg 3 and the rear support leg 4.
[0040] The rubber pad 15 can increase the friction between the pad and the support surface, preventing the bracket from sliding during use.
[0041] When using this utility model, if the animal restraint is needed, first take out the restraint in its folded state, grasp the bracket 1, and rotate the front support leg 3 outward from its position of being attached to the bracket 1 so that it stands on the ground at a certain angle. At this time, the U-shaped tubular structure of the front support leg 3 and the rear support leg 4 is stably supported on the ground. Under the action of the long connecting rod 6 and the short connecting rod 7, the front support leg 3, the rear support leg 4 and the support rod 5 move together to make the entire restraint unfold stably. The four dotted holes on the net bag 2 can be used to fix the animal's limbs or other parts of the body to prevent the animal from sliding inside the net bag 2.
[0042] Place the animal that needs to be restrained on the unfolded net bag 2. Secure the animal's body or limbs by threading ropes or straps through the holes in the net bag 2. For example, the animal's limbs can be threaded through the four holes and tied tightly, allowing the animal to lie safely on the net bag 2, unable to struggle or move freely, making it easier for veterinarians to perform examinations, treatments, or intravenous infusions.
[0043] After use, first untie the ropes or straps securing the animal, then rotate the front outrigger 3 towards the bracket 1 to make it fit snugly against the bracket 1 for easy carrying and storage. The entire folding process is simple and quick, making it convenient for veterinarians to use this restraint frame in different locations.
[0044] With this design, the portable veterinary animal restraint can be quickly unfolded and stably secured to animals when in use, and can be easily folded and stored when not in use, saving space and making it easy to carry, which greatly facilitates veterinarians' outdoor diagnosis and treatment work.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
