Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sick animal management equipment, specifically to a sick animal isolation cage. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of the booming development of animal husbandry, the continuous expansion of breeding scale has placed higher demands on disease prevention and control. The isolation and treatment of sick animals, as a key line of defense in preventing the spread of diseases and maintaining the health of livestock, is of paramount importance. As the core facility in this process, the scientific design and use of sick animal isolation cages directly affect the effectiveness of disease prevention and control.

[0003] Traditional methods of cleaning manure from sick animal isolation cages typically involve opening the cage door and having workers enter the cage to manually clean it. This method requires workers to operate in a relatively confined space, resulting in extremely strenuous labor, frequent bending and stooping movements, and easy fatigue. Furthermore, workers are highly susceptible to contact with pathogens during the cleaning process, increasing the risk of disease infection. Therefore, we propose a new type of sick animal isolation cage to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A sick animal isolation cage includes:

[0006] The U-shaped plate has support plates symmetrically fixed at the bottom of its two inner side walls;

[0007] The receiving plate is fixed between the bottom sides of the two support plates, and one side of the receiving plate is connected to the inner wall of the back plate of the U-shaped plate.

[0008] An isolation box is embedded inside a U-shaped plate and located above a support plate. A door is hinged to one side of the front of the isolation box. A rectangular channel is constructed in the middle of the bottom of the isolation box. Support rods are fixed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the rectangular channel near the back plate of the U-shaped plate. The other end of the support rods is not connected to the inner wall of the rectangular channel.

[0009] The scraper assembly, located inside the rectangular channel, is used to clean the feces from the support rods and the surface of the receiving plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the scraping assembly includes guide rods fixed at intervals in the middle of the rectangular channel, the guide rods and support rods are arranged alternately, a scraping plate is slidably arranged on the top of the receiving plate, the scraping plate has a material passage hole in the middle, the material passage hole is rectangular, and a strip channel is arranged at intervals in the middle, the guide rod is slidably arranged inside the strip channel, and an operating rod is fixedly arranged on the upper side of one end of the scraping plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a rectangular hole is constructed on one side of the isolation box, and the operating lever is L-shaped, with one end extending through the rectangular hole to the outside of the isolation box.

[0012] Furthermore, rollers are installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the isolation box, and the rollers are slidably connected to the top surface of the support plate.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a locking element located in the middle of the U-shaped plate back panel, which is used to prevent the isolation box from moving away from the receiving plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the locking component includes a mounting base fixed in the middle of the U-shaped plate back panel. A movable plate is rotatably connected between the inner side walls of the mounting base via a pivot. A rectangular rod is slidably inserted through the surface of the movable plate. A spring is sleeved on the surface of the rectangular rod on one side of the movable plate. A fixing block is fixed at the bottom of the back of the isolation box. An arc-shaped notch is constructed on one side of the fixing block, and the rectangular rod is sleeved in the arc-shaped notch.

[0015] Furthermore, a first ventilation grille is constructed above the three walls of the isolation box, and a second ventilation grille is constructed above the door.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention uses an external operating lever to control the scraper, eliminating the need for personnel to enter the cage and avoiding direct contact with pathogens. The scraper assembly replaces manual bending over for cleaning, making operation simple and reducing physical exertion. The scraper covers the rectangular channel and receiving plate, allowing most of the manure to be cleaned in a single operation, saving time. The isolation box can be quickly removed for comprehensive disinfection or replacement, avoiding cross-contamination. It is suitable for modern livestock disease prevention and control scenarios and is safer and more reliable than the traditional method of opening the cage door for cleaning.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] This application provides an isolation cage for sick animals, mainly to address the problems of existing technologies requiring workers to operate in relatively confined spaces, resulting in extremely high labor intensity, frequent bending and stooping movements that easily lead to fatigue, and the increased risk of infection due to workers' easy contact with pathogens during cleaning. The following technical solution is provided, which will be discussed in conjunction with... Figures 1-4 Please provide a detailed explanation:

[0026] include:

[0027] Connect the U-shaped plate 1, and symmetrically fix support plates 2 at the bottom of the two inner side walls of the U-shaped plate 1;

[0028] The receiving plate 3 is fixed between the bottom sides of the two support plates 2, and one side of the receiving plate 3 is connected to the inner wall of the back plate of the U-shaped plate 1.

[0029] The isolation box 4 is embedded inside the U-shaped plate 1 and located above the support plate 2. A door 5 is hinged to one side of the front of the isolation box 4. A rectangular channel 401 is constructed in the middle of the bottom of the isolation box 4. Support rods 6 are fixed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the rectangular channel 401 near the back plate of the U-shaped plate 1. The other end of the support rods 6 is not connected to the inner wall of the rectangular channel 401.

[0030] The scraping assembly 7 is disposed inside the rectangular channel 401. The scraping assembly 7 is used to clean the feces on the surface of the support rod 6 and the receiving plate 3. The scraping assembly 7 includes guide rods 701 fixed at intervals in the middle of the rectangular channel 401. The guide rods 701 and the support rods 6 are staggered. A scraping plate 702 is slidably disposed on the top of the receiving plate 3. The scraping plate 702 has a material passage hole 7021 in the middle. The material passage hole 7021 is rectangular and has strip channels 7022 at intervals in the middle. The guide rods 701 are slidably disposed inside the strip channels 7022. An operating rod 703 is fixed on the upper side of one end of the scraping plate 702. A rectangular hole 403 is disposed on one side of the isolation box 4. The operating rod 703 is L-shaped and one end of it extends through the rectangular hole 403 to the outside of the isolation box 4.

[0031] Workflow Description:

[0032] When using, the sick animal can be placed in the isolation box 4 and the box door 5 can be closed. In the initial state (such as... Figure 1 As shown), the scraper plate 702 of the scraper assembly 7 is located on the side of the rectangular channel 401 near the box door 5 and at the end of the support rod 6. It can fill the gap between the end of the support rod 6 and the inner wall of the rectangular channel 401, thus preventing the feet of sick animals from sinking into the gap between the end of the support rod 6 and the inner wall of the rectangular channel 401.

[0033] When feces produced by sick animals in the isolation box 4 fall onto the support rod 6 or through the gaps in the support rod 6 onto the receiving plate 3, and the feces need to be cleaned, the scraper 702 can be lifted upwards using the operating lever 703. The lifting height should only be such that the top wall of the feed hole 7021 exceeds the feces on the support rod 6. Move the scraper 702 to the innermost part of the isolation box 4, and then release it, allowing the bottom of the scraper 702 to fall onto the receiving plate 3. Then, move the scraper 702 outwards using the operating lever 703. 2. At this time, the upper side of the scraper 702 can scrape off the feces on the surface of the support rod 6, and the bottom of the scraper 702 can scrape off the feces on the surface of the receiving plate 3. When the scraper 702 moves to the initial position, the feces on the surface of the support rod 6 can fall from the gap between the end of the support rod 6 and the inner wall of the rectangular channel 401 (this gap is also used as the receiving position of the scraper 702). The feces collection work can be completed simply by placing a suitable collection tool on the end of the receiving plate 3. The operation is very simple.

[0034] This animal isolation cage controls the scraper 702 via an external operating lever 703, eliminating the need for personnel to enter the cage and avoiding direct contact with pathogens. The scraper assembly 7 replaces manual bending over for cleaning, simplifying operation and reducing physical exertion. The scraper 702 covers the rectangular channel 401 and the receiving plate 3, allowing for the completion of most of the manure cleaning in a single operation, saving time. The isolation box 4 can be quickly removed for thorough disinfection or replacement, avoiding cross-contamination. It is suitable for modern livestock disease prevention and control scenarios and is safer and more reliable than the traditional method of opening the cage door for cleaning.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, rollers 9 are installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the isolation box 4. The rollers 9 are slidably connected to the top surface of the support plate 2. More specifically, the rollers 9 are slidably connected to the top surface of the support plate 2. This connection method allows the rollers 9 to roll smoothly along the top surface of the support when the isolation box 4 is moved, reducing frictional resistance and making it easier for staff to remove the isolation box 4 from the U-shaped plate 1. This facilitates the comprehensive disinfection or replacement of the isolation box 4 and avoids cross-contamination.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a locking element 8 is also included, disposed in the middle of the back plate of the U-shaped plate 1. The locking element 8 is used to prevent the isolation box 4 from moving away from the receiving plate 3. The locking element 8 includes a mounting base 801 fixed in the middle of the back plate of the U-shaped plate 1. A movable plate 802 is rotatably connected between the inner side walls of the mounting base 801 via a pivot. A rectangular rod 803 is slidably inserted through the surface of the movable plate 802. A spring 804 is sleeved on the surface of the rectangular rod 803 on one side of the movable plate 802. A fixing block 805 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the back of the isolation box 4. One side of the fixing block 805 has an arc-shaped notch, and the rectangular rod 803 is fitted into the arc-shaped notch. More specifically, when it is necessary to lock the isolation box 4, the operator pulls the rectangular rod 803 upward (overcoming the elastic force of the spring 804) and rotates the movable plate 802, so that the rectangular rod 803 is fitted into the arc-shaped notch of the fixing block 805. After releasing, under the elastic force of the spring 804, the rectangular rod 803 moves downward. The rectangular rod 803 and the arc-shaped notch are tightly matched to form a mechanical lock, preventing the isolation box 4 from moving away from the receiving plate 3.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a first ventilation grille 402 is constructed above the three walls of the isolation box 4, and a second ventilation grille 501 is constructed on the upper side of the box door 5. More specifically, the setting of the first ventilation grille 402 and the second ventilation grille 501 can promote air circulation, provide sufficient oxygen for sick animals, and at the same time discharge metabolic waste such as carbon dioxide and ammonia, avoiding hypoxia or poisoning caused by the closed environment.

[0038] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
