Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock testing technology, specifically a fixed device for testing livestock in livestock farming. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of raising livestock, it is necessary to conduct regular blood tests on the livestock. This is very important for the prevention and treatment of diseases, because livestock infections can affect the health of the entire herd and lead to huge economic losses. For animals such as cattle and horses, it is often necessary to use a restraining device to limit and fix them during blood collection to prevent them from struggling too much during the blood collection process and to ensure that the blood collection is carried out.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document (Publication No.: CN214049204U) disclosing a restraint device for veterinary testing of livestock. This device comprises an upper clamp, a lower clamp, a ring, a vertical rod, a lead screw, a support rod, a movable plate, and a spring. Rotation of the lead screw causes the upper clamp to move downwards, which in turn moves the vertical rod and ring downwards. This, combined with the lower clamp, secures the animal's head. This addresses, to some extent, the problem that existing livestock restraint devices generally cannot secure the limbs, posing a safety hazard for veterinarians during blood sampling. However, this device still has the following drawbacks:

[0004] The structure is relatively simple and is only suitable for small livestock. When encountering large livestock, it is necessary to first limit the head of the livestock. If the operation is wrong, the large livestock may struggle and be difficult to control, making it impossible to further fix the limbs of the livestock. This can easily injure the livestock or the veterinarian, and will also affect the veterinarian's subsequent examination. It is highly dangerous and has a limited scope of application. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fixing device for livestock testing in animal husbandry, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are relatively simple in structure, only applicable to small livestock, and when encountering large livestock, it is necessary to first limit the head of the livestock to a certain extent. Once the operation is wrong, the large livestock may struggle and be difficult to control, and then it is impossible to further fix the limbs of the livestock. This not only easily injures the livestock or the veterinarian, but also affects the veterinarian's subsequent testing, which is highly dangerous and has a limited scope of application.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a livestock fixing device for livestock detection in animal husbandry, comprising a protective top plate and a supporting bottom plate. A guide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the protective top plate, and a sliding groove is formed on the surface of the supporting bottom plate. The positions of the guide rail and the sliding groove correspond to each other. A telescopic structure and a clamping structure are provided between the protective top plate and the supporting bottom plate. The protective top plate, as the top structure of the entire fixing device, provides a certain degree of protection. Furthermore, it provides a stable foundation for the guide rail, enabling the subsequent structures to be installed and operated normally, ensuring the integrity and stability of the entire device structure. The supporting bottom plate, by forming a sliding groove corresponding to the guide rail of the protective top plate, provides a precise sliding track for structures such as the movable push plate in the middle, ensuring that each component can move smoothly along a predetermined direction during telescopic and movement processes. This makes the operation of the entire device more reliable and orderly. The cooperation between the guide rail and the sliding groove ensures the accuracy and standardization of the movement of each structure, avoiding abnormal situations such as skewing, and helps to stably fix livestock.

[0007] Preferably, the telescopic structure includes a partition plate. A sleeve protective frame is fixedly connected to one side of the partition plate, and a motor protective frame is fixedly connected to the other side of the partition plate. A threaded pin is fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the motor protective frame. A baffle is threadedly connected to one end of the threaded pin. The motor protective frame contains several evenly distributed first synchronous motors. One end of each of the first synchronous motors is fixedly connected to a threaded rod. The other end of the threaded rod extends through the partition plate into the interior of the sleeve protective frame. A threaded sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the other end of the threaded rod. A push plate is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded sleeve away from the threaded rod. The top surface of the push plate is movably connected to the inner side of the guide rail, and the bottom surface of the push plate is movably connected to the inner side of the slide groove. Several barrier structures are provided on one side of the push plate. The partition plate rationally separates different components, allowing the drive components such as motors and the telescopic actuators to be spatially arranged rationally, facilitating independent operation and coordinated cooperation of each component, thus ensuring the smooth operation of the entire telescopic movement. The foundation is laid by matching the baffle plate with the threaded pin. The position of the baffle plate on the threaded pin can be manually adjusted to provide a barrier for the rear gate. The sleeve protection frame protects the threaded sleeve from livestock or external influences, ensuring that the threaded sleeve can move in a relatively safe and stable environment. On the other hand, it can also work with the clamping guardrail to clamp the livestock. The motor protection frame can centrally store and protect several first-frequency motors, avoiding the motors from collisions with livestock, interference from external debris, and corrosion from moisture and dust in the complex environment of livestock farming. This creates a relatively good operating environment for the motors, extends their service life, and facilitates unified maintenance and management of the motors, ensuring that the motors can output power stably to drive the entire telescopic structure. The threaded sleeve moves in and out under the drive of the threaded rod. By extending and retracting, it changes the position of the push plate, further pushing multiple barrier structures along the slide groove to form a guardrail to prevent livestock from walking out of the fixing device, facilitating subsequent clamping.

[0008] Preferably, the barrier structure includes a barrier net, with sliders at both ends. One slider is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide rail, and the other slider is slidably connected to the inner side of the groove. The barrier net gradually extends and surrounds the livestock, keeping them in a relatively stable state while effectively preventing them from leaving the restraining device, facilitating subsequent clamping. Compared to some rigid blocking components, the barrier net is relatively soft, making it less likely to cause scratches, bumps, or other injuries to the livestock when it comes into contact with their bodies, thus avoiding some degree of stimulation. While achieving the function of restricting the livestock's position, it maximizes the safety of the livestock and reduces the risk of injury to the livestock during the restraint process, exhibiting good versatility and adaptability.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping structure includes a clamping guardrail. A plurality of evenly distributed detection element mounting brackets are fixedly connected to the upper inner side of the clamping guardrail. A plurality of evenly distributed detachable fence brackets are rotatably connected to the lower end of the clamping guardrail. Each of the detachable fence brackets has a tightening strap movably connected to its top. One end of each tightening strap is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side of the clamping guardrail, and the other end of each tightening strap is movably connected to a plurality of evenly distributed tension blocks. One end of each tension block is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side of the clamping guardrail. The clamping guardrail provides a mounting base for other components such as the detection element mounting brackets, detachable fence brackets, and tightening straps, clamping and limiting the movement of livestock from the side, fixing them in a relatively stable space for easy veterinary testing. The detection element mounting brackets are located at the upper end of the clamping guardrail, providing a mounting base for the detection elements while preventing direct contact and damage to the detection elements by the livestock. The presence of the mounting bracket makes the installation and disassembly of the detection element more convenient, facilitating maintenance and replacement. The detachable fence frame is rotatably connected to the lower end of the clamping guardrail. This rotatable connection allows the fence frame to be opened or closed flexibly, individually or in multiples. After the clamping guardrail precisely clamps the livestock, the corresponding fence frame can be opened at the required position (such as the head or rump), making subsequent care or testing of the livestock more convenient. The tightening straps can be adjusted according to the contour and size of the livestock's body by adjusting the tensioning blocks to achieve the appropriate tension, thus tightly fitting the detachable fence frame to the livestock's body and achieving a dynamic clamping function. This ensures the stability of the livestock's body position during testing. Veterinarians can adjust the tension of the tightening straps by operating the tensioning blocks as needed, flexibly adjusting the clamping force between the detachable fence frame and the livestock's body to ensure that the livestock is safely and comfortably fixed, while also ensuring the effectiveness and adaptability of the clamping structure in different usage scenarios.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the clamping guardrail is provided with several casters, and the top of the clamping guardrail is provided with several evenly distributed active structures. An extension plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of one side of the clamping guardrail, and a rear stop is rotatably connected to the end of the extension plate away from the clamping guardrail. The upper end of the rear stop is in contact with the inner surface of the baffle. The casters cooperate with the multiple active structures at the top to prevent livestock from damaging the active structures, while making the clamping guardrail move more smoothly inward and improving work efficiency. The extension plate extends the position of the rear stop to the rear, so that it is not affected by the motor protection frame when in contact with the baffle.

[0011] Preferably, the active structure includes a motor box, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the protective top plate. A motor base is fixedly connected inside the motor box, and a second synchronous motor is positioned above the motor base. One end of the second synchronous motor is fixedly connected to a drive shaft, and a driven slider is threadedly connected to the surface of the drive shaft. The bottom end of the driven slider is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping guardrail. The top of the motor box is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the protective top plate, orderly supporting and fixing the internal motor base, motor, and other components in appropriate positions. This ensures accurate relative positioning between components, laying a solid foundation for subsequent power transmission and the overall function of the active structure. The second synchronous motor drives the drive shaft to rotate, thereby driving the driven slider to move, ultimately achieving the corresponding action of clamping the guardrail. Combined with the casters at the bottom, this allows the clamping guardrail to apply force to the livestock simultaneously and evenly, avoiding situations where uneven force distribution leads to increased struggle and difficulty in control due to asynchronous power distribution, thus ensuring the stability and effectiveness of livestock restraint.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This livestock monitoring and restraint device utilizes a combination of telescopic, clamping, and netting structures to effectively restrain both small and large livestock. By adjusting the position and orientation of each structure, it broadens the device's applicability and adapts to different scenarios. It also provides installation locations for detection elements and, unlike existing devices, allows for precise restraint of specific parts of the livestock, reducing stress and mitigating potential risks. The collaborative and mutually reinforcing structures provide a robust guarantee for veterinarians performing various tests such as blood sampling, auscultation, and physical examinations, while ensuring the safety of both the veterinarian and the livestock. This significantly improves the quality and efficiency of testing, demonstrating its clear advantages. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a fixing device for livestock testing in animal husbandry, including a protective top plate 1 and a supporting bottom plate 2. A guide rail 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the protective top plate 1, and a sliding groove 4 is opened on the surface of the supporting bottom plate 2. The positions of the guide rail 3 and the sliding groove 4 correspond to each other. A telescopic structure and a clamping structure are provided between the protective top plate 1 and the supporting bottom plate 2.

[0024] In use, the protective top plate 1 provides top protection for the entire device, the supporting bottom plate 2 supports the entire device, and the slide 4 cooperates with the guide rail 3 on the protective top plate 1 to guide and ensure that the movement of each component is accurate.

[0025] Furthermore, the telescopic structure includes a partition plate 6, a sleeve protection frame 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the partition plate 6, a motor protection frame 7 is fixedly connected to the other side of the partition plate 6, a threaded pin 27 is fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the motor protection frame 7, a baffle 28 is threadedly connected to one end of the threaded pin 27, a number of evenly distributed first synchronous motors 8 are provided inside the motor protection frame 7, a threaded rod 9 is fixedly connected to one end of each of the first synchronous motors 8, the other end of the threaded rod 9 extends through the partition plate 6 into the interior of the sleeve protection frame 5, a threaded sleeve 10 is fitted on the surface of the other end of the threaded rod 9, a push plate 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded sleeve 10 away from the threaded rod 9, the top surface of the push plate 11 is movably connected to the inner side of the guide rail 3, the bottom surface of the push plate 11 is movably connected to the inner side of the slide groove 4, and a number of barrier structures are provided on one side of the push plate 11;

[0026] In use, the partition plate 6 separates the sleeve protection frame 5 and the motor protection frame 7, providing a stable installation position for components such as the first synchronous motor 8, ensuring that each component is installed in an orderly manner and works in coordination. The first synchronous motor 8 drives the threaded rod 9 to rotate, and the threaded rod 9 converts the rotational power of the motor into the linear extension and retraction power of the threaded sleeve 10. The threaded sleeve 10 is connected to the push plate 11, directly changing the position of the push plate 11, which unfolds the barrier structure. The sleeve protection frame 5 protects the threaded sleeve 10 from external collisions and damage, while also working with the clamping structure to tighten the livestock.

[0027] Furthermore, the barrier structure includes a barrier 12, with sliders 13 at both ends of the barrier 12. One slider 13 is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide rail 3, and the other slider 13 is slidably connected to the inner side of the groove 4.

[0028] When in use, the barrier 12 unfolds within the guide rail 3 and slide 4 as the push plate 11 pushes it, restricting the movement of livestock within the device and ensuring the safety of the livestock to the greatest extent while allowing them to be clamped and fixed relatively comfortably.

[0029] Furthermore, the clamping structure includes a clamping guardrail 14. Several evenly distributed detection element mounting brackets 15 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner side of the clamping guardrail 14. Several evenly distributed detachable fence frames 16 are rotatably connected to the lower end of the clamping guardrail 14. The top of each of the several detachable fence frames 16 is movably connected to a tightening strap 17. One end of each of the several tightening straps 17 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side of the clamping guardrail 14. The other end of each of the several tightening straps 17 is movably connected to several evenly distributed tension blocks 18. One end of each of the several tension blocks 18 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side of the clamping guardrail 14.

[0030] When in use, the operator controls the clamping guardrail 14 to move inward according to the position of the livestock, so as to hold the livestock tightly. The detection element mounting frame 15 provides a fixed installation position for various detection elements (such as body temperature sensors, heart rate monitors, etc.) to detect the livestock. When a detailed inspection of a certain part of the livestock's body is required, the tightening strap 17 is loosened and the corresponding detachable fence frame 16 is opened for further detection.

[0031] Furthermore, the bottom end of the clamping guardrail 14 is provided with several casters 19, the top end of the clamping guardrail 14 is provided with several evenly distributed active structures, the lower end of one side of the clamping guardrail 14 is fixedly connected to an extension plate 25, and the end of the extension plate 25 away from the clamping guardrail 14 is rotatably connected to a rear gate 26, the upper end of the rear gate 26 is in contact with the inner surface of the baffle 28.

[0032] In use, the active structure controls the entire clamping guardrail 14 to press against the direction of the livestock. The casters 19 work with the active structure to make the movement of the clamping guardrail 14 smoother. The shape of the baffle 28 can be adjusted by rotating the baffle 28. When the baffle 28 is horizontal, the baffle 28 and the threaded pin 27 pass through the rectangular groove on the rear gate 26. Then, the baffle 28 is rotated to the longitudinal direction to block the rear gate 26. When the clamping guardrail 14 presses against the inward side, the rear gate 26 also slides inward.

[0033] Furthermore, the active structure includes a motor box 21, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the protective top plate 1. A motor base 22 is fixedly connected inside the motor box 21. A second synchronous motor 23 is provided above the motor base 22. One end of the second synchronous motor 23 is fixedly connected to an active shaft 24. A driven slider 20 is threadedly connected to the surface of the active shaft 24. The bottom end of the driven slider 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping guardrail 14.

[0034] In use, the second synchronous motor 23 drives the drive shaft 24, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate through its own operation. The drive shaft 24 converts the rotational motion of the motor into the linear motion of the driven slider 20, thereby driving the clamping guardrail 14 to move. The motor base 22 and the motor box 21 protect the second synchronous motor 23, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the device.

[0035] In this embodiment, the following steps are taken: The first synchronous motor 8 is started to drive the threaded sleeve 10, which pushes the push plate 11 to open multiple barriers 12, forming an overall fence. Livestock enter, and the rear gate 26 is rotated towards the motor protection frame 7, passing through the threaded pin 27. The adjusting baffle 28 blocks the rear gate 26, preventing the livestock from entering. Based on the livestock's position, the operator starts the second synchronous motor 23 to control the clamping fence 14 to move inward, pressing the livestock against it. The detection element in the detection element mounting frame 15 detects the livestock. When precise detection or drug injection is needed on a specific part of the livestock, the tension block 18 is adjusted, the binding strap 17 is loosened, and the corresponding detachable fence frame 16 is opened. After detection, the clamping fence 14 is moved outward, the threaded sleeve 10 retracts inward, and the livestock exits the detection device.

[0036] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
