Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a fixing device, and more particularly to an auxiliary fixing device for sheep. Background Technology
[0002] In large-scale farming, the frequency of intramuscular injections, such as vaccinations, drug treatments, and intravenous injections, in sheep has increased significantly. Traditional manual restraint relies on 2-3 operators to complete the procedure, which has problems such as high labor costs, low efficiency (each operation takes more than 10 minutes), and strong stress reactions in sheep (struggling leads to an injection failure rate of >15%).
[0003] Chinese patent CN220044542U discloses an anti-escape restraint device, including a cage. A through hole is formed at the top of one end of the cage, and a cage door composed of multiple tubes is slidably connected within the through hole. Two guide frames are fixedly connected to the top surface of the cage. A wedge-shaped slider for positioning the cage door is slidably connected to one side of each guide frame. A first spring is fixedly connected to one side of each wedge-shaped slider, and the other end of each first spring is fixed to a nearby guide frame. Although this patent restricts the animal's autonomous movement and defensive behavior through mechanical constraints or devices, its complex structure increases the difficulty of operation for workers, making it unsuitable for use during sheep injections or simple drug treatments. Furthermore, it requires significant costs for subsequent maintenance.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an auxiliary restraint device for sheep to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to design a simple fixation device that can easily fix animals, ensuring the safety of operators and avoiding unintended tissue damage to animals.
[0006] An auxiliary restraint device for sheep includes a connecting plate with a perimeter frame on the connecting plate. A rotating plate is rotatably connected between the rear sides of the perimeter frames on both sides. A stabilizing rod is engaged between the rotating plate and the perimeter frame. A stabilizing mechanism is provided on the perimeter frames on both sides. The stabilizing mechanism includes a connecting block, a connecting rod, a fixing plate, and an insert rod. A connecting block is connected to each of the perimeter frames on both sides, and a connecting rod is slidably connected to each connecting block. A fixing plate is connected to the side of the connecting rod that is close to each other, and an insert rod is engaged between the connecting rod and the connecting block.
[0007] Preferably, the fixing plate is an arc-shaped structure extending inward at both the top and bottom ends, forming a shape that matches the body width of the sheep, which facilitates better fixing of the sheep and provides the sheep with better comfort without excessive pressure on its body.
[0008] Preferredly, a limiting plate is connected to the top front side of the connecting plate, and an induction frame is slidably connected to the limiting plate. Some treatments can be performed while the sheep is feeding, such as simple injections and intravenous injections, to divert the sheep's attention, prevent resistance, and facilitate the injection. After the injection, the fixing plate of the stabilizing mechanism is opened.
[0009] Preferred features also include rubber rings, with rubber rings fitted onto the stabilizer bar.
[0010] Preferred options also include plastic sheets, with plastic sheets attached to the sides of the two fixing plates that are close to each other.
[0011] Priority is that multiple through holes are provided on both the fixing plate and the plastic plate.
[0012] Firstly, the bottom of the connecting plate is equipped with an anti-slip pad.
[0013] Preferredly, the guide frame is fixedly connected with a net to prevent the animal from eating, because the animal should not eat during some treatment procedures.
[0014] The beneficial effects and significant advancements of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] This invention places food inside an induction frame, which, under the lure of the food, allows the animal to enter the device more easily. Subsequently, the animal's body is fixed by the clamping of the fixing plate of the stabilizing mechanism, preventing the animal from exhibiting strong emergency response activities during subsequent surgery.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Example: An auxiliary restraint device for sheep, reference Figures 1 to 3 The system includes a connecting plate 1, a enclosure frame 2, a limiting plate 3, a guide frame 4, a rotating plate 5, a stabilizing rod 6, a rubber ring 7, and a stabilizing mechanism. The connecting plate 1 is connected to the top left, right, and front sides of the top, and the enclosure frame 2 is also connected to the top. The bottom of the connecting plate 1 is equipped with an anti-slip pad to increase the friction between the ground and the connecting plate 1 and to prevent slipping. The three enclosure frames 2 are interconnected. The top front side of the connecting plate 1 is connected to the limiting plate 3. The guide frame 4 for storing food is slidably connected to the limiting plate 3. The guide frame 4 is fixedly connected to the barrier 41 for preventing animals from eating (which can be set or opened as needed). The rear sides of the enclosure frames 2 on the left and right sides are rotatably connected to the rotating plate 5. The enclosure frame 2 and the rotating plate 5 work together to restrict the range of movement of the animals and prevent them from moving around at will. The right side of the rotating plate 5 is engaged with the right side of the enclosure frame 2. The stabilizing rod 6 is used to fix the rotating plate 5. The enclosure frame 2 is equipped with a stabilizing mechanism for fixing the animal's body.
[0023] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The stabilizing mechanism includes connecting blocks 8, connecting rods 9, fixing plates 10, insert rods 11, and plastic plates 12. Connecting plates 1 for support are connected to the outer center of the left and right side enclosure frames 2. Connecting rods 9 are slidably connected to each connecting plate 1. Fixing plates 10 are connected to the sides of the connecting rods 9 that are close to each other. Plastic plates 12 are connected to the sides of the two fixing plates 10 that are close to each other, providing anti-slip properties. Multiple through holes are provided on both the fixing plates 10 and the plastic plates 12 to meet the different operational needs of veterinarians for different diseases in sheep. Insert rods 11 are engaged between each connecting rod 9 and the adjacent connecting block 8, and the insert rods 11 are used to fix the connecting rods 9. The fixing plate 10 has an arc-shaped structure extending inwards from both the top and bottom, forming a shape that matches the body width of the sheep, facilitating better fixation of the sheep and providing good comfort without excessive pressure on its body.
[0024] For example, when an animal needs to receive an intramuscular injection or simple treatment, first fix the restraint device in a designated location, then pour an appropriate amount of food into the induction frame 4. After pouring, pull out the stabilizing rod 6 so that the rotating plate 5 is not fixed. Rotate the rotating plate 5 upwards to open it. After opening, the animal is attracted by the food in the induction frame 4 and actively moves into the restraint device. When the animal enters the restraint device, rotate the rotating plate 5 downwards to close it. After entering the restraint device, the animal is restricted by the enclosure frame 2 and the rotating plate 5 and cannot turn its body. Then, use the stabilizing rod 6 to fix the rotating plate 5. At this time, the veterinarian pulls out the insertion rod 11 and then slides the connecting rod 9 inwards, causing the restraint plate 10 to slide inwards, so that the restraint plate 10 contacts and limits the animal's body, thereby preventing the animal from having a strong stress response during subsequent surgery. Insert the insertion rod 11 into the connecting block 8 to fix the connecting rod 9. At this time, the animal's body has been fixed, and the veterinarian can perform the relevant operations.
[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
