Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-11 This utility model provides a technical solution: it includes a mounting column 100, a support base 110 fixed at the bottom of the mounting column 100, a control panel 120 provided on the side wall of the mounting column 100, a lifting mechanism provided on one side of the mounting column 100, the lifting mechanism including a mounting slide 210, a drive motor A220 and a screw 221, a sliding seat 230 provided on the outer side of the screw 221, a mounting cross plate 240 fixed to one side of the sliding seat 230 by bolts, an adjustment mechanism provided at the top of the mounting cross plate 240, a rubbing mechanism provided at the bottom of the adjustment mechanism, a rotating mechanism provided on one side of the rubbing mechanism, a transmission mechanism provided inside the rotating mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism provided on the outer side of the mounting cross plate 240;

[0037] The cleaning mechanism includes a water pump 710, a water suction pipe 720, a water storage tank 730, and a support frame 731. The support frame 731 is fixedly connected to the mounting column 100. A connecting pipe 740 is fixed to one side of the water pump 710. A spray arm 750 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting pipe 740, and a connecting seat 751 is fixed to the top of the spray arm 750. The connecting seat 751 is fixedly connected to the mounting horizontal plate 240. Before using the device, the rubbing mechanism is moved by a lifting mechanism, which can adjust the height of the rubbing mechanism according to the size of the beef cattle. Adjustments were made to improve the adaptability of the device during use. The adjustment mechanism and the rubbing mechanism work together to rub the cattle. When the rubbing mechanism needs to be cleaned, the rotating mechanism and the transmission mechanism work together to rotate the rubbing mechanism to a horizontal position. The cleaning mechanism then performs a sterilization and cleaning operation on the rubbing mechanism to prevent residual dirt on the rubbing mechanism from breeding bacteria, thereby improving the cleanliness of the device and preventing the cattle from getting infected. It replaces manual cleaning of the rubbing mechanism, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and improves the practicality of the device.

[0038] Specifically, a limiting slide rod 231 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat 230, and the limiting slide rod 231 is fixedly connected to the mounting groove 210; by setting the limiting slide rod 231 to limit and support the movement of the sliding seat 230, the stability of the lifting operation is ensured.

[0039] Specifically, the adjustment mechanism includes a geared motor A310, which is bolted to the top of the mounting plate 240. A drive seat 320 is located at the output end of the geared motor A310. A rotating bracket A330 is bolted to the bottom of the drive seat 320. A mounting shaft 331 is fixed to the inner wall of the rotating bracket A330, and a rotating bracket B340 is connected to the outer base of the mounting shaft 331. With this adjustment mechanism, when the cattle approach the rubbing mechanism, the geared motor A310 drives the drive seat 320 to rotate, which in turn rotates the rubbing mechanism, allowing it to rotate around the cattle and expand its rubbing range. The rotating bracket B340 rotates freely on the rotating bracket A330 via the mounting shaft 331, ensuring the rubbing mechanism rolls freely on the cattle's body during the rubbing operation, thus improving the flexibility of the rubbing operation.

[0040] Specifically, the rubbing mechanism includes a mounting post 410, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating bracket B340. A driven gear 411 is fixed to the outer side of the mounting post 410. A drive motor B420 is fixed to one end of the mounting post 410. A drive shaft 421 is provided at the output end of the drive motor B420. A roller brush 430 is fixed to the outer side of the drive shaft 421. With the rubbing mechanism, the cattle are close to the roller brush 430. The drive motor B420 drives the drive shaft 421 to rotate, which in turn drives the roller brush 430 to rotate. The roller brush 430 brushes the cattle's fur. During the process, the rubbing mechanism is rotated by an adjustment mechanism, allowing for all-around rubbing of the cattle.

[0041] Specifically, the rotating mechanism includes a geared motor B510, which is bolted to one side of the rotating bracket B340. A drive shaft sleeve 520 is provided at the output end of the geared motor B510. A mating shaft 530 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the drive shaft sleeve 520. A drive gear 540 is fixed to the bottom of the mating shaft 530, and the drive gear 540 meshes with the driven gear 411. A mounting housing 550 is bolted to the outer side of the rotating bracket B340. By providing this rotating mechanism, when the roller brush 430 needs cleaning, the drive gear 540 meshes with the driven gear 411 through a transmission mechanism. The geared motor B510 drives the drive shaft sleeve 520 to rotate, thereby rotating the roller brush 430 to a horizontal position, facilitating all-around spray rinsing of the roller brush 430 by the cleaning mechanism.

[0042] Specifically, the transmission mechanism includes a mounting plate 610, which is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting housing 550. An electric telescopic rod 620 is fixed to the top of the mounting plate 610, and a drive plate 630 is fixed to the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 620. The drive plate 630 is rotatably connected to the docking shaft 530. The transmission mechanism controls the non-meshing state of the drive gear 540 and the driven gear 411.

[0043] Working principle: During use, the device is supported by a support base 110, and its operation is controlled by a control panel 120. Before use, the drive motor A220 drives the screw 221 to rotate, which in turn moves the sliding seat 230 up and down. The movement of the sliding seat 230 moves the mounting plate 240, which in turn moves the rubbing mechanism. The height of the rubbing mechanism can be adjusted according to the size of the cattle. The cattle are pressed tightly against the roller brush 430. The drive motor B420 drives the drive shaft 421 to rotate. Rotation of motor 421 drives the roller brush 430 to rotate, brushing the cattle's hide and coat. During this process, the reduction motor A310 drives the drive seat 320 to rotate, which in turn drives the rubbing mechanism to rotate, allowing it to rub around the cattle and expand its rubbing range. The rotating bracket B340 rotates freely on the rotating bracket A330 via the mounting shaft 331, ensuring the rubbing mechanism rolls freely on the cattle's body during the rubbing operation. When cleaning of the roller brush 430 is required, it is electrically... The telescopic rod 620 drives the drive plate 630 to move downwards. The movement of the drive plate 630 causes the docking shaft 530 and the drive gear 540 to move, engaging the drive gear 540 with the driven gear 411. This, in turn, drives the drive bushing 520 to rotate via the reduction motor B510. The rotation of the drive bushing 520 then drives the docking shaft 530 and the drive gear 540 to rotate. The drive gear 540, through the driven gear 411, drives the mounting post 410 to rotate, thereby rotating the roller brush 430 to a horizontal position. This facilitates the cleaning mechanism to perform all-around spray rinsing of the roller brush 430. During operation, the drive gear 540 and the driven gear 411 are in a non-meshing state. The drive motor B420 can rotate freely on the inner wall of the rotating bracket B340 through the mounting column 410, injecting the cleaning solution with disinfection function into the water storage tank 730. The water pump 710 starts and draws out the cleaning solution stored in the water storage tank 730 through the water pump pipe 720, and delivers the cleaning solution to the spray arm 750 through the connecting pipe 740. Finally, the cleaning solution is sprayed onto the roller brush 430 through the spray arm 750, which can perform sterilization and cleaning operation on the roller brush 430.

[0044] Although the present invention discloses embodiments and accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art will understand that various substitutions, variations and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and the appended claims. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents disclosed in the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
