Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cattle hoof trimming technology, specifically a hoof trimming fixing device for livestock cattle. Background Technology

[0002] In intensive dairy and beef cattle farming, the limited range of activity and less exercise lead to reduced hoof wear and faster growth. This not only affects normal walking but also causes hoof diseases and limb deformities. Therefore, cattle farms need to conduct hoof diagnosis and repair on cattle twice a year, in spring and autumn. During this process, the cattle need to be protected and secured beforehand to prevent injury to people before the hoof diagnosis and repair are carried out.

[0003] Currently, the method of fixing cattle hooves during hoof trimming is to use cattle barn railings or manual assistance. However, this method generally has the disadvantage of being very inconvenient to use, and the height of the hooves cannot be freely adjusted, which makes it not very versatile. During the process of hoof trimming, it is necessary to fix the cattle to prevent injury to people. When using cattle barn railings or manual assistance, the operation is very troublesome, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, making it difficult to achieve the desired effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a hoof-fixing device for cattle, which solves the problem that the current method of fixing cattle hooves by relying on cattle shed railings or manual assistance generally has the disadvantage of being very inconvenient to fix, and the height of the hooves cannot be freely adjusted, resulting in low versatility. During the process of fixing cattle hooves to prevent injury to people, it is very troublesome to operate with the help of cattle shed railings or manual assistance, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient, and it is difficult to achieve the expected results.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a hoof trimming and fixing device for cattle, comprising a base, several support columns symmetrically installed on the base, support plates symmetrically installed on the base, an opening on the support plate, a fixing plate installed on the support plate, a fixing screw installed on the fixing plate via a bearing, a movable plate threadedly connected to the fixing screw, a handle installed at one end of the fixing screw passing through the fixing plate, a sliding rod installed between the movable plate and the fixing plate, a limit plate installed at the bottom of the fixing screw and the sliding rod, several springs installed on the movable plate, and rubber plates connected to the springs.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the base is equipped with four casters at the bottom corners, and a number of handles are mounted on the base.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a box is installed on the support column, and two bidirectional screws are installed on the two support columns installed in the middle of the base through bearings.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a connecting plate is provided on the support column, and a pressure plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a motor is installed at one end of the bidirectional screw that passes through the support column, and a housing is provided outside the motor.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a sliding rod is installed on the support columns at both ends of the base, the connecting plate is slidably connected to the sliding rod, and a rubber pad is fixedly installed on the pressure plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This hoof trimming and fixing device for cattle consists of a rubber plate, a handle, a fixing screw, and a sliding rod. During operation, the worker places the hoof through the mounting opening onto the rubber plate. The pressure of the hoof on the rubber plate compresses a spring, and the resulting elastic force cushions and protects the entire device. When the hoof's height needs adjustment, the worker rotates the handle, which in turn rotates the fixing screw. This rotation causes a threaded movable plate to move along the fixing screw and the sliding rod, allowing for free adjustment of the rubber plate and the hoof's height, thus improving the device's versatility.

[0013] 2. This cattle hoof trimming and fixing device, consisting of a motor, a double-ended screw, a sliding rod, and a pressure plate, allows the worker to drive the cattle into the fixing device during operation. The motor, installed inside the housing, is then turned on. Its output shaft drives the double-ended screw to rotate. Since a connecting plate is threaded onto the double-ended screw and connected to the pressure plate, the rotation of the double-ended screw causes the connecting plate to move along the screw and sliding rod in opposite directions until the pressure plate presses the cattle firmly into the fixing device. This prevents the cattle from moving unnecessarily and affecting subsequent work, thus improving operational stability. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a hoof trimming and fixing device for cattle, including a base 1, with sliding rods 7 installed on the support columns 4 at both ends of the base 1, a connecting plate 11 slidably connected to the sliding rods 7, and a rubber pad 6 fixedly installed on the pressure plate 10. Because of the installation of the rubber pad 6, the friction between the pressure plate 10 and the cattle can be increased, preventing the cattle from shifting during operation and affecting subsequent work, thus improving the stability of the device.

[0021] The base 1 has four casters 2 at its bottom corners, and several handles 3 are installed on the base 1. Because the handles 3 are fixedly installed, the operator can move the entire device using the casters 2 by pushing or pulling the handles 3, which facilitates position adjustment and improves work convenience.

[0022] Several support columns 4 are symmetrically installed on the base 1. A box 5 is installed on the support columns 4. Two bidirectional screws 8 are installed on the two support columns 4 in the middle of the base 1 through bearings. A connecting plate 11 is provided on the support column 4. A pressure plate 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 11. Because of the bidirectional screws 8, the motor 12 drives the bidirectional screws 8 to rotate. Since there are two connecting plates 11 threaded on the bidirectional screws 8, and the connecting plates 11 are connected to the pressure plate 10, the connecting plates 11 will drive the pressure plate 10 to move along the bidirectional screws 8 until the pressure plate 10 clamps the cattle in the device, preventing the cattle from moving around accidentally and affecting subsequent work.

[0023] A motor 12 is installed at one end of the bidirectional screw 8 that passes through the support column 4, and a housing 5 is provided outside the motor 12.

[0024] Support plates 9 are symmetrically installed on the base 1. The support plates 9 have mounting openings 17. A fixing plate 15 is installed on the support plates 9. A fixing screw 16 is installed on the fixing plate 15 through a bearing. A movable plate 13 is threadedly connected to the fixing screw 16. A handle 14 is installed at one end of the fixing screw 16 that passes through the fixing plate 15. Because of the handle 14, the operator can rotate the fixing screw 16 by the handle 14, so as to freely adjust the height and position of the movable plate 13 and the components installed on the movable plate 13, which is convenient for subsequent processing of cattle hooves.

[0025] A slide bar 18 is installed between the movable plate 13 and the fixed plate 15. A limit plate 19 is installed at the bottom of the fixed screw 16 and the slide bar. Several springs 21 are installed on the movable plate 13, and rubber plates 20 are connected to the springs 21.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When working, the worker drives the cattle into the fixed device, and then opens the motor 12 installed in the box 5. The output shaft of the motor 12 drives the bidirectional screw 8 connected to it to rotate. Since the connecting plate 11 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 8, and the connecting plate 11 is connected to the pressure plate 10, the rotation of the bidirectional screw 8 will drive the connecting plate 11 to move along the bidirectional screw 8 and the slide bar 7 towards each other until the pressure plate 10 presses the cattle in the fixed device. Then, the cattle hoof is placed on the rubber plate 20 through the placement opening 17. The pressure of the cattle hoof on the rubber plate 20 will compress the spring 21. The elastic force generated by the compression of the spring 21 will buffer and protect the entire device. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the cattle hoof, the worker turns the handle 14. The rotation of the handle 14 drives the fixed screw 16 to rotate. The rotation of the fixed screw 16 causes the moving plate 13 threadedly connected to it to move on the fixed screw 16 and the slide bar 18, so that the height of the rubber plate 20 and the cattle hoof placed on the rubber plate 20 can be freely adjusted.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] The preferred embodiments of this patent have been described in detail above. However, this patent is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this patent.
