Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a quantitative feeding device for lamb colostrum. Background Technology

[0002] In sheep farming, it is crucial for lambs to receive sufficient colostrum promptly after birth for their health and growth. Colostrum is rich in nutrients and immunoglobulins, which can enhance lambs' immunity and improve their survival rate. However, in actual production, situations such as ewes giving birth to too many lambs, ewes being sick, or lambs being weak often occur, resulting in lambs not receiving enough colostrum in time. Therefore, it is necessary to use a feeding device to feed them in a quantitative manner.

[0003] In the process of realizing this invention, the inventors discovered that the prior art has at least the following problems: In the prior art, oral administration is carried out by connecting a tube to a common container. However, since the common container lacks precise scale markings and quantitative structures, the operator can only estimate the amount of oral administration based on experience. The difference in experience among different operators will lead to a large fluctuation in the amount of oral administration.

[0004] Therefore, the aforementioned technical problems need to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the basic technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows: a lamb colostrum quantitative feeding device, including a fixed chamber and quantitative structures located on the left and right sides of the fixed chamber, and a storage tank located above the fixed chamber, wherein a handle is installed at the bottom of the storage tank;

[0006] The quantitative structure includes a connecting chamber installed on the left side of the fixed chamber and an administration head installed on the left end of the connecting chamber, as well as a piston located inside the connecting chamber. The connecting chamber has a transparent observation window on its exterior, and the exterior of the transparent observation window has scale markings.

[0007] Preferably, a piston rod is fixedly connected to the right end of the piston, and a threaded groove is formed on the outside of the piston rod, with a threaded sleeve threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded groove.

[0008] Preferably, a pusher plate is fixedly connected to the right end of the threaded sleeve, and a return spring is fixedly connected to the right end of the pusher plate.

[0009] Preferably, a movable disc is fixedly connected to the right end of the return spring, and a push rod is fixedly connected to the right end of the movable disc.

[0010] Preferably, a protective cylinder is fixedly installed on the outside of the movable disc and above the handle, and two round holes are opened on the inner wall of the push disc.

[0011] Preferably, the right end of the fixed chamber is equipped with a guide rod that matches the circular hole, and the inner wall of the fixed chamber is provided with a movable groove.

[0012] Preferably, the infusion head is made of medical-grade silicone material, with a smooth arc design and interchangeable with different sizes.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting pipe is provided between the connecting silo and the storage tank.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] Through the design of the quantitative structure, operators can intuitively observe the position of the piston using the transparent observation window and scale markings. During operation, the piston rod is rotated to make it rotate on the inner wall of the threaded sleeve. The piston rod will move along the transparent observation window. At this time, the operator can accurately control the dosage according to the scale markings and the corresponding position of the piston. After positioning is completed, the push rod is pushed. The push rod will squeeze the movable disc and the return spring, thereby driving the push disc, threaded sleeve, piston rod and piston to move synchronously. The piston pushes out the sheep milk in the connecting chamber to complete the dosing. After dosing is completed, the push rod is released, and the return spring will drive the piston rod and other parts to automatically return to their original positions, preparing for the next dosing.

[0023] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this utility model, the directions shown in the accompanying drawings shall prevail, such as front and back. Figure 1 For the sake of accuracy, the specific details should be as follows: Figure 1 The left side is the front. Figure 1 The right side is the rear; at the same time, as Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal direction is roughly defined as left and right, and the vertical direction is defined as up and down. If a specific orientation changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a lamb colostrum quantitative feeding device, including a fixed chamber 1 and quantitative structures 2 located on the left and right sides of the fixed chamber 1, and a storage tank 3 located above the fixed chamber 1. The storage tank 3 is used to store the lamb milk required for feeding, and a handle 4 is installed at the bottom of the storage tank 3.

[0027] The quantitative structure 2 includes a connecting chamber 21 installed on the left side of the fixed chamber 1 and a dispensing head 22 installed on the left end of the connecting chamber 21, as well as a piston 23 located inside the connecting chamber 21. The connecting chamber 21 has a transparent observation window on its exterior and scale markings on its exterior.

[0028] This invention addresses the issue that existing technologies using ordinary containers connected to tubing for administering colostrum to lambs suffer from significant fluctuations in dosage due to the lack of precise markings and quantitative structures. Operators rely on experience to estimate the dosage, leading to inconsistent results. Therefore, the quantitative structure 2 allows operators to visually observe the position of piston 23 through a transparent viewing window and markings. During operation, rotating piston 23 causes it to rotate within the threaded sleeve 25, moving it along the transparent viewing window. Operators can then precisely control the dosage based on the markings and the corresponding position of piston 23. Once positioned, pushing push rod 29 compresses the movable disc 28 and return spring 27, causing the push disc 26, threaded sleeve 25, piston 23, and piston 23 to move synchronously. Piston 23 then pushes out the colostrum from the connecting chamber 21, completing the administration. After administration, releasing push rod 29 causes the return spring 27 to automatically reset piston 23 and other components, preparing for the next administration.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] like Figure 2 - Figure 5 As shown, a piston rod 24 is fixedly connected to the right end of piston 23. A threaded groove is formed on the outside of piston rod 24, and a threaded sleeve 25 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded groove. A push plate 26 is fixedly connected to the right end of threaded sleeve 25. A return spring 27 is fixedly connected to the right end of push plate 26. A movable plate 28 is fixedly connected to the right end of return spring 27. A push rod 29 is fixedly connected to the right end of movable plate 28. A protective sleeve is fixedly installed on the outside of movable plate 28 and above handle 4. 281. The inner wall of the push plate 26 has two round holes. The right end of the fixed chamber 1 is equipped with a guide rod 11 that matches the round holes, and the inner wall of the fixed chamber 1 has a movable groove. The dispensing head 22 is made of medical-grade silicone material. The head has a smooth arc design and can be replaced with different specifications. A connecting pipe is provided between the connecting chamber 21 and the storage tank 3. The connecting pipe is used to transfer the sheep milk in the storage tank 3 to the connecting chamber 21, and a one-way valve is provided at the connecting pipe to prevent the sheep milk from flowing back.

[0031] It is worth noting that the piston rod 23 and the threaded sleeve 25 are locked together by threads, which reduces the possibility of inaccurate dosing to a certain extent. With the help of the transparent observation window and scale markings, the stroke of the piston 23 can be precisely controlled, and the error can be kept within a very small range. The combination of the return spring 27 and the movable plate 28 allows the push rod 29 to automatically return to its original position after being released, which simplifies the operation process and improves work efficiency. The cooperation between the guide rod 11 and the round hole ensures that the push plate 26 moves linearly, avoiding leakage caused by the piston 23 being misaligned. This saves colostrum and ensures accurate dosage.

[0032] Work steps:

[0033] First, the sheep milk is poured into the storage tank 3. The sheep milk flows into the connecting chamber 21 through the connecting pipe. The operator holds the handle 4 at the bottom of the storage tank 3 and rotates the piston rod 23 according to the amount of colostrum required by the lamb. Using the threaded transmission between the piston rod and the threaded sleeve 25, the piston rod 23 moves along the transparent observation window. The dosage is accurately determined according to the scale markings and the position of the piston 23. After positioning, the push rod 29 is pushed. The push rod 29 squeezes the movable plate 28 and the return spring 27, which drives the push plate 26, the threaded sleeve 25, the piston rod 23 and the piston 23 to move synchronously. The piston 23 pushes the sheep milk in the connecting chamber 21 out through the filling head 22, completing the filling operation. After filling, the push rod 29 is released, the return spring 27 rebounds, and the piston 23, piston rod and other parts automatically return to their original positions, preparing for the next filling.

[0034] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
