Abstract
Description
A type of ear tag clamp for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ear tag pliers technology, specifically to an ear tag pliers for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine. Background Technology
[0002] In livestock farming, ear tagging pliers are an indispensable tool, mainly used to tag livestock to achieve management purposes such as identifying individual livestock, recording growth information, and preventing and controlling diseases.
[0003] However, the inconvenience of replacing screws is a particularly prominent issue with existing ear tag pliers for animal husbandry and veterinary use. During long-term use, due to frequent handling and the impact of livestock struggling, the screws, a key component of the ear tag pliers, may wear out, loosen, or even become damaged. This necessitates timely replacement to ensure the proper use of the ear tag pliers and the reliability of ear tag application.
[0004] However, current ear tagging pliers on the market do not come with a dedicated screw storage structure. When a screw needs to be replaced, veterinarians have to rummage through their tool bags to find the required screw. In the actual working environment of a farm, tool bags usually contain various tools and items. Finding a screw of a specific size is not only time-consuming, but in emergencies, such as when livestock suddenly fall ill and require rapid tagging, this cumbersome search process may delay the work progress and affect the timely treatment of the livestock.
[0005] Therefore, based on this, a design or technical improvement is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings and provide an ear tag clamp for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] An ear tag pliers for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine includes an ear tag pliers body, an upper jaw and a lower jaw hinged to the ear tag pliers body, a round tube fixedly mounted on the upper jaw, and a fixing bolt rotatably mounted on the round tube;
[0009] The upper jaw is provided with a nail-repairing mechanism. The upper jaw has an annular groove. The nail-repairing mechanism includes a positioning plate fixedly installed on the upper jaw. The positioning plate has two sets of limiting grooves. A fixing plate is slidably installed in each of the two sets of limiting grooves. A second magnetic block is fixedly installed on both sides of the fixing plate. A square frame is rotatably installed between the fixing plates. A storage tube is fixedly installed at one end of the square frame. Multiple sets of screws are provided on the inner wall of the storage tube.
[0010] The lower jaw is equipped with a spray mechanism for disinfecting animal wounds.
[0011] Furthermore, a liquid storage chamber is provided inside the lower jaw, and a nozzle is provided inside the liquid storage chamber. A second piston is provided at the end of the liquid storage chamber, and second sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the lower jaw. The spraying mechanism includes a circular plate slidably installed inside the liquid storage chamber, and a long rod is fixedly connected to one side of the circular plate. A connecting rod is fixedly installed at the end of the long rod. The connecting rod extends out from the second sliding groove, and a push block is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod.
[0012] Furthermore, a liquid replenishment groove is provided at the bottom of the lower jaw, and a first piston is provided in the liquid replenishment groove. Both the first piston and the second piston are covered with rubber.
[0013] Furthermore, a first magnetic block is fixedly connected to the end of the storage tube, and a connecting frame is fixedly installed on the upper jaw. The connecting frame has a groove, and the groove engages with the first magnetic block.
[0014] Furthermore, the storage tube has two sets of first sliding grooves, and a push plate is slidably installed inside the storage tube. Two sets of push rods are fixedly installed on the push plate, and the push rods extend from the two sets of first sliding grooves.
[0015] Furthermore, the frame has two sets of symmetrical grooves inside, and springs are installed in the grooves, with limit pins fixedly connected to the ends of the springs.
[0016] Furthermore, limit blocks are fixedly installed at the ends of both sets of limit grooves, and the limit blocks are made of stainless steel. The positions of the limit blocks correspond to the positions of the second magnetic blocks.
[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this solution are:
[0018] 1. This solution achieves precise alignment of the square frame holes, annular grooves, and round tube holes by rotating the square frame and pushing the fixed plate, forming a smooth screw conveying channel and ensuring that screws are accurately delivered to the designated position. The combined use of the push rod and push plate makes the screw conveying process stable and controllable, reducing jamming during conveying and enabling screw replacement to be completed in a short time, greatly shortening equipment maintenance time and improving work efficiency.
[0019] 2. This design achieves precise control over the disinfection process by opening the second piston to connect the storage chamber to the outside environment and pushing the pusher block to control the spraying of the disinfectant. The linkage mechanism between the pusher block, connecting rod, long rod, and circular plate allows for flexible adjustment of the disinfectant spray volume and speed according to actual needs. Veterinarians can rationally control the pushing speed and force of the pusher block based on the size and severity of the animal's wound, ensuring that the disinfectant is sprayed evenly on the wound surface to achieve the best disinfection effect and effectively reduce the risk of wound infection.

[0028] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0029] As shown in Figures 1-6, an ear tag pliers for animal husbandry and veterinary use includes an ear tag pliers body 1. An upper jaw 2 and a lower jaw 3 are hinged to the ear tag pliers body 1. A round tube 411 is fixedly installed on the upper jaw 2, and a fixing bolt 412 is rotatably installed on the round tube 411. A patching mechanism is provided on the upper jaw 2, and an annular groove 113 is opened on the upper jaw 2. The patching mechanism includes a positioning plate 4 fixedly installed on the upper jaw 2, and two sets of limiting grooves 111 are opened on the positioning plate 4. A fixing plate 5 is slidably installed in both sets of limiting grooves 111. A second magnetic block 511 is fixedly installed on both sides of the fixing plate 5. A square frame 6 is rotatably installed between the fixing plates 5, and a storage tube 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the square frame 6. Multiple sets of screws 512 are provided on the inner wall of the storage tube 7. A liquid spraying mechanism is provided on the lower jaw 3 for disinfecting animal wounds.
[0030] In one embodiment, a liquid storage tank 212 is provided inside the lower jaw 3, and a nozzle 213 is provided inside the liquid storage tank 212. A second piston 211 is provided at the end of the liquid storage tank 212. Second sliding grooves 312 are provided on both sides of the lower jaw 3. The spraying mechanism includes a circular plate 315 slidably installed inside the liquid storage tank 212, and a long rod 316 is fixedly connected to one side of the circular plate 315. A connecting rod 317 is fixedly installed at the end of the long rod 316. The connecting rod 317 extends out from the second sliding groove 312, and a push block 311 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod 317. When the push block 311 is pushed, the circular plate 315 can squeeze the disinfectant water in the liquid storage tank 212 through the transmission of the connecting rod 317 and the long rod 316, so that the disinfectant water is sprayed out from the nozzle 213, thereby realizing the function of spraying disinfectant water. The long rod 316 serves to connect the circular plate 315 and the connecting rod 317, transmitting the pushing force of the push block 311 to the circular plate 315. The connecting rod 317 connects the long rod 316 and the push block 311, ensuring smooth force transmission.
[0031] In one embodiment, a replenishment groove 314 is provided at the bottom of the lower jaw 3, and a first piston 313 is disposed within the replenishment groove 314. Both the first piston 313 and the second piston 211 are covered with rubber. The replenishment groove 314 provides a channel for replenishing disinfectant to the storage tank 212. When the disinfectant in the storage tank 212 is insufficient, it can be replenished through the replenishment groove 314, ensuring the continuous use of the spraying mechanism. The first piston 313 is used to seal the replenishment groove 314 to prevent disinfectant from leaking out of the replenishment groove 314 during normal use. The rubber covering the first piston 313 and the second piston 211 has good sealing properties and can effectively prevent disinfectant leakage.
[0032] In one embodiment, a first magnetic block 911 is fixedly connected to the end of the storage tube 7, and a connecting frame 9 is fixedly installed on the upper jaw 2. The connecting frame 9 has a groove, and the groove and the first magnetic block 911 are engaged with each other. The adsorption effect of the first magnetic block 911 can ensure that the storage tube 7 remains relatively stable when it does not need to be moved, and avoid the operation being affected by shaking.
[0033] In one embodiment, the storage tube 7 has two sets of first sliding grooves 8, and a push plate 811 is slidably installed inside the storage tube 7. Two sets of push rods 812 are fixedly installed on the push plate 811, and the push rods 812 extend from the two sets of first sliding grooves 8. The first sliding grooves 8 provide sliding tracks for the push rods 812, allowing the push rods 812 to slide along a specific direction, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the push rods 812's movement. The push plate 811 slides inside the storage tube 7. When the push rods 812 are pushed, the push plate 811 can push the screws 512 inside the storage tube 7 to move forward, realizing the screw delivery function.
[0034] In one embodiment, two sets of symmetrical grooves are provided inside the frame 6, and springs 611 are provided in the grooves. The ends of the springs 611 are fixedly connected to limit pins 612. When the screw 512 presses the limit pin 612, the spring 611 is compressed and the limit pin 612 retracts into the groove, making room for the screw 512 to pass through. After the screw 512 passes through, the spring 611 returns to its original state and the limit pin 612 resets, preventing the remaining screw 512 from falling out of the storage tube 7.
[0035] In one embodiment, limit blocks 112 are fixedly installed at the ends of both sets of limit grooves 111, and the limit blocks 112 are made of stainless steel. The position of the limit block (112) corresponds to the position of the second magnetic block (511). The limit block 112 plays a limiting role on the fixed plate 5 that is slidably installed in the limit groove 111. When the fixed plate 5 and the limit block 112 are in contact, the limit block 112 and the second magnetic block 511 are attracted to each other, thereby maintaining stability.
[0036] The specific workflow of this plan is as follows:
[0037] When it is found that the screw 512 inside the round tube 411 is worn, loose, or damaged and needs to be replaced, the veterinarian holds the ear tag forceps body 1 with one hand and slowly rotates the fixing bolt 412 with the other hand. As the fixing bolt 412 is rotated, the threaded connection between it and the screw 512 gradually loosens until the screw 512 can be easily removed from the round tube 411;
[0038] After carefully placing the removed damaged screw aside, the screw repair mechanism was adjusted. The veterinarian gently pinched the frame 6 with their fingers and slowly rotated it from its initial position to a vertical position. Once the frame 6 was vertical, the fixing plate 5 was pushed, allowing it to slide smoothly in the limiting groove 111. When the fixing plate 5 slid to the end of the limiting groove 111, the second magnetic blocks 511 on both sides of the fixing plate 5 attracted each other to the limiting blocks 112. At this point, the hole in the frame 6 was accurately aligned with the annular groove 113, which in turn aligned with the hole in the round tube 411, forming a smooth screw delivery channel.
[0039] Next, grasp the push rod 812 and slowly slide it along the first groove 8. The push rod 812 drives the push plate 811 to slide forward within the storage tube 7. During the sliding process, the push plate 811 pushes the screw 512 forward. When the screw 512 moves into the box 6, the end of the screw 512 will press against the limiting pin 612. Since the limiting pin 612 is connected to the spring 611, under the pressure of the screw 512, the spring 611 is compressed, and the limiting pin 612 retracts into the groove, making room for the screw 512 to pass through. The screw 512 continues to move forward, smoothly passing through the box 6 and the annular groove 113, and entering the round tube 411. When the screw 512 reaches the appropriate position, the veterinarian rotates the fixing bolt 412 in the opposite direction to firmly fix the screw 512 inside the round tube 411.
[0040] After replacing the screws, the veterinarian gently pushes the fixing plate 5, allowing it to slide backwards in the limiting groove 111 until the fixing plate 5 returns to its initial position. Then, the frame 6 is slowly rotated again to adjust it back to its initial state for the next use.
[0041] When an animal's wound requires disinfection, the veterinarian uses their fingers to open the second piston 211 at the end of the lower jaw 3, connecting the reservoir 212 to the outside and preparing for the spraying of disinfectant. The veterinarian then places their fingers on the push blocks 311 on either side of the lower jaw 3 and slowly pushes them. The push blocks 311 move the connecting rod 317, which in turn pushes the long rod 316 forward. The end of the long rod 316 is fixedly connected to the circular plate 315, thus the long rod 316 pushes the circular plate 315 forward within the reservoir 212. Under the push of the circular plate 315, the disinfectant in the reservoir 212 is squeezed and sprayed out from the nozzle 213. The veterinarian aims the nozzle 213 at the wound on the animal's ear and, depending on the size and severity of the wound, appropriately controls the pushing speed and force of the push blocks 311 to ensure the disinfectant is sprayed evenly onto the wound surface for effective disinfection.
[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
