[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an animal hygiene sampling device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a protective housing 1, a support plate 5 fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the protective housing 1, and a sampling mechanism 2, which includes a support sleeve 21, a rotating plate 22, an elastic element 23, a sliding rod 24, and a driving assembly 25.

[0036] The support sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 1, the rotating plate 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support sleeve 21, and multiple sliding rods 24 slide through the top of the rotating plate 22 in a circumferential array through the elastic element 23. The outer wall of the protective shell 1 is fixedly connected to the support frame 4, and the drive assembly 25 is installed on the support frame 4 and connected to the sliding rods 24.

[0037] It should be noted that the protective housing 1 described in this embodiment provides robust external protection for the entire device, preventing external contamination or interference from affecting the sampling process and ensuring long-term stable operation of the device. A support plate 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the protective housing 1, providing a stable support platform for the sample and ensuring the accuracy of the sample position during sampling. A support sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective housing 1, ensuring the entire sampling structure is stable and not easily displaced. A rotating plate 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support sleeve 21, providing flexible rotation to adjust the sampling direction and position to meet different operational needs. Multiple sliding rods 24 slide through the top of the rotating plate 22 in a circular array via elastic elements 23, allowing each sliding rod 24 to perform sampling operations independently while maintaining flexible coordination and accuracy, avoiding the repetitive and inconsistent problems caused by multiple operations in traditional equipment. The support frame 4 on the outer wall of the protective housing 1 is fixedly connected to the drive assembly 25, ensuring the stability and force transmission of the drive assembly 25. This allows it to precisely control the movement direction and speed of the sliding rod 24, further enhancing the accuracy and continuity of sampling. This technical solution enables the sampling mechanism 2 to achieve a higher level of automation, efficiently completing the sampling of multiple samples in a short time. It also improves the ease of operation and the applicability of the equipment, avoiding common problems in existing technologies such as low sampling efficiency, poor accuracy, and complex operation.

[0038] The bottom of the sliding rod 24 is magnetically attached to a sampling head 241. It should be noted that the magnetic design of the sampling head 241 described in this embodiment simplifies equipment maintenance and cleaning. The sampling head 241 can be easily disassembled for cleaning or replacement as needed, thereby improving the equipment's lifespan and maintenance efficiency. This not only enhances the accuracy of the sampling process but also improves the equipment's adaptability and ease of operation, solving the problems of multiple adjustments and errors caused by insecure installation or inconvenient operation of the sampling head 241 in existing equipment.

[0039] Specifically, the protective housing 1 provides external protection, ensuring that the device is not subject to external interference or contamination during operation. The support plate 5, fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective housing 1, provides stable support for the sample to be collected, making the sampling process more accurate. The sampling mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective housing 1 via the support sleeve 21, and the rotating plate 22 is rotatably connected to the support sleeve 21, allowing the rotating plate 22 to be flexibly adjusted within a certain range, ensuring that the sampling head 241 can be accurately aligned with the sample area.

[0040] Multiple sliding rods 24 slide in a circular array through the top of the rotating plate 22 via elastic elements 23, ensuring uniformity and consistency during sampling. The drive assembly 25 is fixed by the support frame 4 and connected to the sliding rods 24, ensuring accurate control of the sliding rods 24 and making the sampling operation efficient and stable. The magnetic suction sampling head 241 at the bottom of the sliding rods 24 can firmly adhere to the sample, ensuring the stability of each sampling and preventing the sampling head 241 from falling off or moving during operation, thus improving sampling accuracy. This solves problems such as poor sampling accuracy, unstable fixing of the sampling head 241, and complex operation. The magnetic suction sampling head 241 design avoids the shortcomings of traditional sampling devices that use complex mechanical structures to fix the sampling head 241, making the replacement and cleaning of the sampling head 241 more convenient.

[0041] The 24-circle array design of the sliding rods ensures uniform sampling each time, guaranteeing the representativeness and accuracy of the samples and avoiding errors caused by uneven sampling in traditional equipment. Meanwhile, the drive assembly 25 precisely controls and flexibly adjusts the rotating plate 22, greatly improving the automation level and sampling efficiency of the equipment, reducing manual intervention, and enhancing the overall stability and reliability of the sampling process.

[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the drive assembly 25 includes a first drive device 251, a drive rod 252, and an abutment head 253. The first drive device 251 is mounted on the top of the support frame 4. The output end of the first drive device 251 passes through the top of the support frame 4 and is fixedly connected to one end of the drive rod 252. The abutment head 253 is fixedly connected to the other end of the drive rod 252.

[0043] It should be noted that the first driving device 251 described in this embodiment is a cylinder. The first driving device 251 is mounted on the top of the support frame 4 as a power source. Its output end passes through the top of the support frame 4 and is fixedly connected to one end of the driving rod 252, ensuring the stable movement of the driving rod 252. Through its connection with the first driving device 251, the driving rod 252 can accurately transmit power, allowing it to move smoothly along a set trajectory. The contact head 253 is fixedly connected to the other end of the driving rod 252, serving a pushing or resisting function. Through its precise displacement control, it can effectively push the sliding rod 24 towards the target area, achieving accurate sample collection. This design ensures the high efficiency and stability of the driving system while providing sufficient power to meet different types of sample collection needs. The precision control of the driving component 25 not only reduces errors caused by the complex mechanical structure in traditional equipment but also ensures the repeatability and accuracy of each sampling action, improving the automation level of the entire device, reducing manual intervention, and enhancing the convenience and safety of use.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, it also includes a switching component 3, which includes a mounting plate 31, a second driving device 32, and a driving arm 33. The mounting plate 31 is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the support frame 4. The second driving device 32 is mounted on the side wall of the mounting plate 31. One end of the driving arm 33 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second driving device 32, and the other end of the driving arm 33 is fixedly connected to the top center of the rotating plate 22.

[0045] It should be noted that the second driving device 32 described in this embodiment is a drive motor. The second driving device 32 is mounted on the side wall of the mounting plate 31 and its output end is fixedly connected to one end of the drive arm 33, serving as the power source for the switching operation. The second driving device 32 can provide a smooth and precise power output, ensuring that the drive arm 33 can move in the correct direction and within the correct accuracy range. The other end of the drive arm 33 is fixedly connected to the top center of the rotating plate 22. Through the precise movement of the drive arm 33, the rotating plate 22 can be rotated, thereby realizing the switching of the position of the sampling head 241.

[0046] The switching component 3 enables the device to efficiently switch between different sampling heads 241, avoiding operational delays and inconveniences caused by inconvenient operation or awkward switching in traditional equipment. It also significantly improves sampling efficiency and accuracy. This design enhances the continuous operation capability of the sampling device, allowing it to adapt to higher-frequency sampling needs, reducing manual intervention, and improving the device's operational stability and reliability.

[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the elastic element 23 includes a protruding plate 231 and a spring 232. The protruding plate 231 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 24. Multiple springs 232 are arranged in a circumferential array between the top of the protruding plate 231 and the bottom of the rotating plate 22 and are connected to each other through the springs 232.

[0048] It should be noted that the elastic element 23 described in this embodiment, through the combination of the protruding plate 231 and the spring 232, achieves the stability and flexibility required by the sliding rod 24 during the sampling process. The protruding plate 231 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 24, ensuring the fixed position of the elastic element 23 and providing sufficient support force, so that the sliding rod 24 maintains a precise position and movement trajectory during sampling. In addition, the elastic rebound effect of the spring 232 can automatically reposition the sliding rod 24 after sampling, improving the automation level of the sampling process and reducing manual intervention. This design improves the accuracy and stability of the sampling process, while enhancing the durability and service life of the equipment.

[0049] It should be understood that a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating plate 22, and a limiting groove matching the limiting plate is opened on the inner wall of the rotating plate 22. The contact head 253 is perpendicular to the circumferential rotation direction of the multiple sliding rods 24 and is located above the rotation trajectory.

[0050] In summary, the method of using the animal hygiene sampling device provided in this embodiment is as follows: First, the sample to be sampled is placed on the support plate 5 to ensure that the sample is stably supported in a suitable position. Then, by activating the second drive device 32, the drive arm 33 in the switching assembly 3 is moved, thereby rotating the rotating plate 22 and positioning the sliding rod 24 to a new sampling position. Next, the first drive device 251 is activated, and the drive rod 252 pushes the contact head 253 downward, thereby driving the sliding rod 24 to press down precisely, completing the sampling operation. The magnetic suction head 241 at the bottom of the sliding rod 24 contacts the sample through magnetic force, ensuring that the sampling head 241 firmly adsorbs and accurately collects the sample. After sampling is completed, when the second drive device 32 is reset, the spring 232 in the elastic element 23 provides a rebound force, driving the sliding rod 24 and the sampling head 241 back to the initial position. At this time, the rotating plate 22 is rotated and switched by activating the second drive device 32 again, so that the other sliding rod 24 moves to a suitable position, ready for the next sampling.

[0051] After each sampling is completed, the device automatically returns to its original position through a precise control mechanism, ensuring continuous and efficient sampling. This device, through automated operation and a flexible switching mechanism, enables seamless continuity of the sampling process, while simultaneously improving sampling efficiency and accuracy. This technical solution solves the problems of complex operation, low efficiency, and poor accuracy of traditional sampling devices. Through the collaboration of the drive component 25, the sampling mechanism 2, and the switching component 3, it achieves rapid and continuous sampling operations, reducing manual intervention and improving the device's operational stability and automation level. The design of the magnetic sampling head 241 avoids the problems of loose or inaccurate sampling heads in traditional devices, thus ensuring the accuracy of each sample.

[0052] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
