[0030] In order to make the person skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the protection scope of the present application.
[0031] Embodiment 1:
[0032] As Figures 1 to 6As shown, the livestock veterinarian isolation cage of the embodiment includes a cage bottom 27, a cage body 1, a plurality of telescopic driving members 26, a gas delivery pipe 16, and a gas supply mechanism. The cage bottom 27 is embedded in the ground and is provided with a receiving space 271 in which a floor heating 36 is installed. The cage body 1 is provided with a cage opening 29 on one side, and the cage opening 29 is provided with a blocking mechanism 30. The cage body 1 is provided with a lighting member, a camera 34, a humidity sensor 33, a first temperature sensor 32, and a controller 31. The plurality of telescopic driving members 26 are distributed and installed in the receiving space 271. The telescopic driving members 26 are provided with a piston rod 261. The piston rod 261 is connected to the cage body 1 through the top surface of the cage bottom 27, and is in airtight connection between the piston rod 261 and the top surface of the cage bottom 27. At least one gas delivery pipe 16 is obliquely installed on the side surface of the cage body 1. The gas supply mechanism is in soft connection with the gas delivery pipe 16. The floor heating 36, the lighting member, the camera 34, the humidity sensor 33, the first temperature sensor 32, the telescopic driving members 26, and the gas supply mechanism are all in electrical connection with the controller 31.
[0033] One structure of the floor heating can be an electric floor heating. The type of the electric floor heating can be a heating cable or an electric heating film. The heating cable or the electric heating film is powered to generate heat, directly heating the top plate of the cage bottom. It can be understood that the floor heating can be used to supply heat when the temperature is low or when the cage body and the cage bottom are being cleaned. It can be beneficial to provide heat to the sick livestock in the cage body in a low-temperature environment. After cleaning the cage body and the cage bottom, in order to accelerate the dehydration of the cage body and the cage bottom, the floor heating can be used to supply heat, so that the cage body and the cage bottom can be quickly dehydrated and dried. It can avoid the sick livestock being in a humid environment for a long time.
[0034] One structure of the lighting member can include a lamp holder 2 and a lighting lamp 3. The lamp holder 2 is installed on the top of the cage body 1, and the lighting lamp 3 is installed on the lamp holder 2. One structure of the lighting lamp can be an LED lamp core. The LED lamp core can be adsorbed on the lamp holder by a magnet.
[0035] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 In order to prevent the cage body on both sides of the cage opening from scratching the sick livestock, a protective pad 28 is installed on both vertical sides of the cage opening. When the sick livestock enters or exits the cage body, the protective pad can play a buffering role when it touches the two sides of the cage opening, avoiding the sick livestock from being injured.
[0036] As shown in Figures 1-3 The receiving space 271 of the cage bottom 27 is provided with a plurality of telescopic driving members 26. The plurality of telescopic driving members 26 are in transmission connection with the cage body 1, and can drive the cage body to rise or fall. When the plurality of telescopic driving members lift the cage body to separate from the top surface of the cage bottom, the top surface of the cage body and the cage bottom can be cleaned, which is convenient for cleaning the cage body and the cage bottom, cleaning the excrement of the sick livestock, and allowing the waste water generated to flow out from the gap between the lifted cage body and the cage bottom.
[0037] It can be understood that, in order to prevent the top surface of the cage bottom from having accumulated water, the top surface of the cage bottom can be provided with a side slope, and the angle between the top surface of the cage bottom and the horizontal plane can be 1°-5°. The top surface of the cage bottom is inclined, which can prevent the occurrence of accumulated water.
[0038] One structure of the camera 34 can be a 360° camera, which photographs the sick livestock in the cage and transmits the photographed information to the controller in real time.
[0039] The controller 31 is provided with a touch display screen and an abnormal behavior AI recognition module and an alarm module. The abnormal behavior AI recognition module can store abnormal behaviors of the sick livestock, such as abnormal restlessness, collision with the fence, and convulsions. The camera transmits the data information obtained by photographing to the controller in real time, which is analyzed and processed by the abnormal behavior AI recognition module. When the sick livestock exhibits abnormal behaviors such as abnormal restlessness, collision with the fence, or convulsions in the cage, the alarm module of the controller timely issues an alarm to remind the veterinarian, so that the veterinarian can arrive at the scene in the first time to handle it.
[0040] One structure of the alarm module can be a light alarm. The light alarm can emit a flashing light.
[0041] It can be understood that the abnormal behavior AI recognition module is a mature technology in the field.
[0042] The touch display screen can be provided with corresponding control buttons for operating the floor heating 36, the lighting member, the telescopic driving member 26, and the air supply mechanism.
[0043] The data information obtained by the humidity sensor 33 and the first temperature sensor 32 is transmitted to the controller in real time, which displays the received data information on the touch display screen, so that the veterinarian can obtain the information of the temperature and humidity in the cage through the touch display screen.
[0044] The blocking mechanism 30 is installed at the cage opening 29 and is used to open and close the cage opening. When the blocking mechanism is in the open state, the sick livestock can enter and exit the cage through the cage opening. When the blocking mechanism is in the closed state, the sick livestock can be blocked in the cage.
[0045] It should be noted that a drainage ditch can be provided around the cage bottom. The drainage ditch can collect and discharge the wastewater generated during the cleaning of the cage and the cage bottom.
[0046] Working mode:
[0047] The blocking mechanism 30 at the cage opening 29 is opened, and the cage opening 29 is in an open state, so that the sick livestock to be isolated and observed can be driven into the cage 1 from the cage opening. Then, the blocking mechanism is closed, the cage opening 29 is closed, and the blocking mechanism blocks the sick livestock in the cage.
[0048] Humidity sensor 33 and first temperature sensor 32 monitor the humidity and temperature inside the cage in real time and transmit the data to the controller, which then displays it on a touch screen. Veterinarians can then obtain information about the humidity and room temperature inside the cage via the touch screen.
[0049] When the room temperature inside the cage is below 18℃, the underfloor heating can be activated via the controller. The underfloor heating heats the top surface of the cage bottom, which exchanges heat with the air inside the cage, thus raising the room temperature. When the temperature rises to 25℃, the controller will stop the underfloor heating from operating.
[0050] The controller can also set the working time of the air supply mechanism. It can be set to start once every 2, 3 or 4 hours, and the air supply time for each start can be set to 0.5 or 1 hour. The air supply mechanism supplies air into the cage, which can promote the air flow in the cage and help provide a comfortable air environment for sick animals in the cage.
[0051] When the cage body and bottom need cleaning and disinfection, multiple telescopic drive components 26 are controlled by the controller to work simultaneously. The multiple telescopic drive components 26 lift the cage body 1 upwards, separating the top surface of the cage body 1 from the top surface of the cage bottom 27, creating a gap between the cage body and the cage bottom, preventing sick animals from escaping through this gap. The separation of the cage body and cage bottom allows the bottom of the cage body and the top of the cage bottom to be fully exposed, thus enabling better cleaning of the cage body and cage bottom and effectively preventing bacterial growth.
[0052] In some embodiments, a structure for the blocking mechanism is provided. For example... Figures 4-6 As shown, the blocking mechanism 30 includes two blocking seats 301 and at least one blocking bar. One blocking seat 301 is installed at the bottom of the cage opening 29, and the other is installed at the top of the cage opening 29. The blocking seat 301 is provided with at least one groove 302, and a blocking bar is slidably limited between the two corresponding grooves.
[0053] The number of grooves on the barrier seat 301 can be matched with the number of barrier bars. The grooves on the barrier seat located at the top of the cage opening and the barrier seat located at the bottom of the cage opening correspond one-to-one, which facilitates the installation of barrier bars between the two barrier seats.
[0054] The number of barrier bars installed can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. Therefore, the number of grooves that can be opened on each barrier base can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10, etc.
[0055] The two ends of the barrier bar are inserted into their corresponding grooves, and the barrier bar can slide along the length of the groove.
[0056] In some embodiments, a structure for the barrier bar is provided, such as... Figure 5As shown, the blocking rod comprises a support rod 305, a first locking rod 304, a second locking rod 3012, a first operating rod 308 and a second operating rod 3010. The support rod 305 is provided with an unlocking slot 309 along the length direction. One end of the first locking rod 304 is inserted into the support rod 305 from one end of the support rod 305 and extends to the unlocking slot 309 through the first spring 307 arranged in the support rod 305, and the other end protrudes from the end surface of the support rod 305. One end of the first spring 307 is connected with the support rod 305, and the other end is connected with the first locking rod 304. The first operating rod 308 is inserted into the unlocking slot 309 and connected with the first locking rod 304. One end of the second locking rod 3012 is inserted into the support rod 305 from the other end of the support rod 305 and extends to the unlocking slot 309 through the second spring 3011 arranged in the support rod 304, and the other end protrudes from the end surface of the support rod 305. One end of the second spring 3011 is connected with the support rod 305, and the other end is connected with the second locking rod 3012. The second operating rod 3010 is inserted into the unlocking slot 309 and connected with the second locking rod 3012. One end of each groove 302 is provided with a counterbore 303, and the first locking rod 304 and the second locking rod 3012 can be respectively inserted into the corresponding counterbore 303.
[0057] It can be understood that the diameter of the support rod is greater than the diameter of the counterbore. The support rod is not inserted into the counterbore.
[0058] The two ends of the support rod are respectively inserted into the counterbores through one locking rod, so as to realize the limitation of sliding of the support rod, that is, to realize the locking of the support rod between the two blocking seats.
[0059] Working mode:
[0060] In the initial state, the top end of the support rod 305 is inserted into the groove of the blocking seat located at the top of the cage opening, the bottom end is inserted into the groove of the blocking seat located at the bottom of the cage opening, the first locking rod 304 is inserted into the counterbore of the groove on the blocking seat at the bottom of the cage opening 29, and the second locking rod 3012 is inserted into the counterbore of the groove on the blocking seat at the top of the cage opening. The first locking rod 304 is subjected to the supporting action of the first spring 307, and the first locking rod remains inserted into the counterbore when no external force is applied. Similarly, the second locking rod 3012 is subjected to the supporting action of the second spring 3011, and the second locking rod remains inserted into the counterbore when no external force is applied. Therefore, the support rod 305 is limited and fixed on the two blocking seats by the first locking rod 304 and the second locking rod 3012.
[0061] The dismounting work is performed while the first operating rod 308 is pulled upward and the second operating rod 3010 is pulled downward. When the first operating rod 308 collides with the second operating rod 3010, the first operating rod 308 pulls the first lock rod 304 to disengage from the counterbore, and the second operating rod 3010 pulls the second lock rod 3012 to disengage from the counterbore. The first lock rod 304 and the second lock rod 3012 release the restriction on the support rod 305, and the support rod 305 can slide along the groove. At this time, the support rod is tilted and swung between the two blocking seats, and the support rod can be disengaged from the two blocking seats. The support rod can be dismounted from the two blocking seats. The remaining support rods can be dismounted by repeating the operation, and the cage opening can be opened.
[0062] The mounting work is performed by tilting the support rod between the two blocking seats. The top end of the support rod is inserted into the blocking seat at the top of the cage opening, and the bottom end is inserted into the blocking seat at the bottom of the cage opening. At this time, the first lock rod 304 and the second lock rod 3012 are pressed and stored in the support rod. At this time, the first spring 307 and the second spring 3011 are both pressed and elastically deformed, and have elastic potential energy. Subsequently, the support rod is moved to the end of the groove provided with the counterbore. When the support rod touches the end of the groove, the first lock rod 304 and the second lock rod 3012 have been inserted into the corresponding counterbores under the action of the respective springs. The first lock rod 304 and the second lock rod 3012 can restrict and fix the support rod between the two blocking seats. All the support rods can be mounted by repeating the operation, and the cage opening can be closed.
[0063] In some optional embodiments, in order to prevent sick animals from colliding with the support rod, a sheath 306 is installed. The support rod 305 is sleeved with the sheath 306.
[0064] The sheath can be made of thermoplastic elastomer or silicone. The thermoplastic elastomer has good impact resistance and bending fatigue resistance, and can withstand multiple bending without fatigue.
[0065] It should be noted that a long slot is provided on the sheath 306 corresponding to the unlocking slot.
[0066] In some embodiments, a structure of the air supply mechanism is given. As shown in Figure 1 The air supply mechanism includes a blower 8, a distribution pipe 15, and an air inlet short pipe 17. One end of the blower 8 is connected with an air filter 5, and the other end is provided with an air outlet pipe 9. The air outlet pipe 9 is provided with a first control valve 11. The distribution pipe 15 is connected with at least one air supply pipe 16. One end of the air inlet short pipe 17 is connected with the distribution pipe 15, and the other end is connected with the air outlet pipe 9 through a hose 14.
[0067] The hose can be a PE corrugated pipe or a nylon hose. The hose has flexibility, and does not hinder the cage from rising when multiple telescopic driving members drive the cage to rise. Of course, the hose also does not hinder the cage from descending.
[0068] The number of air supply pipes that can be installed is 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, etc. When multiple air supply pipes are installed, multi-point air supply to the cage can be achieved.
[0069] The air supply pipe is installed at an angle to the side of the cage. The angle between the air supply pipe and the side of the cage can be 10°-35°. The angle can be 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, or 35°, etc. The air supply pipe sprays air towards the top surface of the cage floor. The air collides with the top surface of the cage floor and then diffuses into the cage. This can avoid directly blowing air into the cage with sick animals, and can greatly reduce the impact on sick animals.
[0070] The air filter 5 can filter the air entering it. The air filter is provided with a filter layer 51. One structure of the filter layer 51 can include a high-efficiency particulate filter and activated carbon. When installed, two high-efficiency particulate filters are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and activated carbon is filled between the two high-efficiency particulate filters. The high-efficiency particulate filter (such as HEPA) can intercept particulate matter (such as pathogens, dust, pet dander, etc.) ≥0.3 microns in the air, and block the path of pathogen transmission through aerosol. Activated carbon can adsorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors (such as ammonia, pet odor), and some gaseous pollutants, improving air quality. The combination of high-efficiency particulate filter and activated carbon can simultaneously deal with particulate matter and gaseous pollutants, achieving more comprehensive air purification.
[0071] One air inlet structure of the air filter 5 increases the installation of an air inlet pipe 7 and a flared cylinder 6. One end of the air inlet pipe 7 is connected to the air filter 5, and the other end is connected to the flared cylinder 6. One end of the flared cylinder is connected to the air inlet pipe, and the other end extends outwardly. When the air is extracted, the flared cylinder 6 can compress the air entering the air inlet pipe 7.
[0072] In some optional embodiments, an air heating structure is given, which increases the installation of a branch pipe 10. The branch pipe 10 is connected in parallel to the air outlet pipe 9 through the first control valve 11, and the branch pipe 10 is installed with the second control valve 12 and the cold-heat heat exchanger 13.
[0073] The cold-heat heat exchanger 13 has a cold-heat switching function, i.e., two working modes of heating and cooling. This can be beneficial to auxiliary regulation of the room temperature in the cage, and also provides a more comfortable room temperature environment for sick animals.
[0074] It should be noted that the cold-heat heat exchanger can be an air source heat pump unit or a ground source heat pump system. It can be understood that the air source heat pump unit and the ground source heat pump system are common devices for heating and cooling in the prior art.
[0075] Working mode:
[0076] When the temperature in the cage needs to be raised, the first control valve 11 is closed, the second control valve 12 is opened, and the air blower 8 is started. The air enters the air inlet pipe 7 through the flared cylinder 6, and is guided into the air filter 5 by the air inlet pipe 7. The air filter 5 filters the air entering it, and the filtered air enters the air blower. The air blower guides the air into the cold and hot heat exchanger 13 through the air outlet pipe 9 and the branch pipe 10. At this time, the cold and hot heat exchanger is adjusted to the heating mode, the air enters the cold and hot heat exchanger 13, and the cold and hot heat exchanger 13 heats the air, i.e. warm air is obtained. The warm air enters the hose through the branch pipe, and the hose guides the warm air into the distribution pipe 15. The warm air in the distribution pipe 15 is sprayed into the cage 1 through the air supply pipe 16, and the warm air can adjust the temperature in the cage.
[0077] When the temperature in the cage needs to be lowered, the first control valve 11 is closed, the second control valve 12 is opened, and the air blower 8 is started. The air enters the air inlet pipe 7 through the flared cylinder 6, and is guided into the air filter 5 by the air inlet pipe 7. The air filter 5 filters the air entering it, and the filtered air enters the air blower. The air blower guides the air into the cold and hot heat exchanger 13 through the air outlet pipe 9 and the branch pipe 10. At this time, the cold and hot heat exchanger is adjusted to the cooling mode, the air enters the cold and hot heat exchanger 13, and the cold and hot heat exchanger 13 cools the air, i.e. cold air is obtained. The cold air enters the hose through the branch pipe, and the hose guides the cold air into the distribution pipe 15. The cold air in the distribution pipe 15 is sprayed into the cage 1 through the air supply pipe 16, and the cold air can adjust the temperature in the cage.
