Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural and animal husbandry technology, and in particular relates to a neck clamp device for cattle farms. Background Technology

[0002] According to the published patent CN116785013A, a dairy cow neck yoke for ranching includes a horizontally arranged base bar, a first top bar parallel to the base bar, and at least two upright bars between the base bar and the first top bar. Each pair of adjacent upright bars forms a separate head extension space for the cow's head to enter. A yoke bar is inclined within the head extension space, and a limiting device is installed on the yoke bar. The yoke bar is driven by the downward pressure of the teat neck. This solves the problem of not being able to simultaneously restrain the cow's head and neck in the lateral direction and in the vertical direction. However, it still has the following shortcomings:

[0003] The aforementioned device, when completed, achieved the effect of preventing veterinarians from interfering with the administration of vaccines and medications due to the large up-and-down shaking of the cow's head. However, the neck size of each cow is different, and the contact area and pressure points of the neck skin of cows of different sizes are also different. If the neck clamp is fixed in the same position, it may cause the cow to be chafed by the neck clamp when moving due to being too large or too small, or even lead to inflammation. Therefore, we propose a neck clamp device for cattle farms. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a neck clamp device for cattle farms. Through the adjustment mechanism and the protective mechanism, it solves the problem that the above-mentioned equipment can avoid the effect of veterinarians administering vaccines and drugs due to the large up-and-down shaking of the cow's head. However, the neck size of each cow is different, and the contact area and pressure points of the neck skin of cows of different sizes are also different. If the neck clamp is fixed in the same position, it may cause the cow to be chafed by the neck clamp when moving due to being too large or too small, or even cause inflammation.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a neck clamp device for cattle farms, including a base plate, a fixing frame fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the base plate, and an adjustment mechanism provided on the outer wall of the fixing frame;

[0007] The adjusting mechanism includes several fixed plates, the outer walls of which are fixedly connected to the outer wall of a fixed frame. Each of the fixed plates has a sliding shaft slidably connected to its inner wall. Each sliding shaft has a spring sleeved on its outer wall. A locking block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the end of each sliding shaft furthest from the fixed plate. The fixed frame has several sliding grooves on its inner wall, each sliding groove has a rack slidably connected to its inner wall. The fixed frame also has several circular grooves on its inner wall, each circular groove has a gear rotatably connected to its inner wall. The outer walls of each gear mesh with the outer walls of the racks. A turntable is fixedly connected to the inner walls of each gear.

[0008] Furthermore, ratchet wheels are fixedly connected to the outer walls of several of the turntables, and the outer walls of several of the ratchet wheels are in contact with the outer wall of the locking block. A protective mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the rack.

[0009] Furthermore, the protective mechanism includes several sleeves, the outer walls of which are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rack.

[0010] Furthermore, an extension rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of each of the sleeve rods, and a neck clamp is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the end of each of the extension rods away from the sleeve rod.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the neck clamps has a flexible plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the side away from the extension rod, and each of the extension rods and the inner wall of the extension rod are provided with positioning holes.

[0012] Furthermore, hollow shafts are fixedly connected to the outer walls of several of the extension rods, and positioning shafts are slidably connected to the inner walls of several of the hollow shafts.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer walls of several positioning shafts are inserted into the inner walls of positioning holes, and the outer walls of several positioning shafts are fixedly connected with limit rings.

[0014] Furthermore, spring 2 is sleeved on the outer wall of each of the positioning shafts, and a pull ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the end of each of the positioning shafts away from the limiting ring.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model incorporates a locking block. When the locking block is compressed, it drives the sliding shaft to move downwards. During this downward movement, the spring is compressed. When the ratchet stops compressing the locking block, the spring's rebound force causes the locking block to quickly reset. At this point, the locking block engages with the teeth of the ratchet, fixing and limiting the ratchet. This achieves the effect of adjusting the neck clamp position according to different cattle sizes. Only one device is needed to accommodate multiple cattle, improving flexibility and management efficiency, and reducing the cost of customizing special clamps for each type of cattle.

[0017] 2. This utility model incorporates an extension rod. Pushing the extension rod forward below the next positioning hole and then releasing the pull ring causes the previously compressed spring two to rebound. The rebound force of the spring two then drives the positioning shaft to reset via the ground-driven limiting ring. The positioning shaft then inserts into another positioning hole and is fixed in place with the extension rod. This achieves the effect of preventing injury to the cattle by adjusting the distance between the neck clamps.

[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

The outer walls of the fixing plates 201 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing frame 101. Sliding shafts 202 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the fixing plates 201. Springs 203 are sleeved on the outer walls of the sliding shafts 202. When the locking block 204 is squeezed, it will drive the sliding shaft 202 to move downward. During the downward movement, it will squeeze the springs 203. The locking block 204 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the end of the sliding shafts 202 away from the fixing plate 201. Several sliding blocks are opened on the inner wall of the fixing frame 101. The inner walls of the grooves 205 and several grooves 205 are slidably connected to racks 206. The inner wall of the fixing frame 101 is provided with several circular grooves 207. The inner walls of the circular grooves 207 are rotatably connected to gears 208. The circular grooves 207 are used to limit and hide the racks 206 to prevent accidental contact with the gears 208. The outer walls of the gears 208 are meshed with the outer walls of the racks 206. The inner walls of the gears 208 are fixedly connected to turntables 209. When the turntables 209 start to rotate, they will drive the gears 208 to rotate mechanically. When the gears 208 start to rotate, they will drive the racks 206 to slide up and down. The outer walls of the turntables 209 are fixedly connected to ratchet wheels 210. The outer walls of the ratchet wheels 210 are in contact with the outer walls of the locking blocks 204. The outer wall of the racks 206 is provided with a protective mechanism 3.

[0030] The protective mechanism 3 includes several sleeve rods 301. The outer walls of the sleeve rods 301 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rack 206. The inner walls of the sleeve rods 301 are slidably connected to extension rods 302. The sleeve rods 301 are used to support and limit the extension rods 302, and also to fix the extension rods 302. The outer walls of the extension rods 302 away from the sleeve rods 301 are fixedly connected to neck clamps 304. The neck clamps 304 are used to restrain the cattle and prevent them from moving around during subsequent processing. The outer walls of the neck clamps 304 away from the extension rods 302 are fixedly connected to soft plates 305. The soft plates 305 prevent the neck clamps 304 from damaging the cattle when they are agitated. The extension rods 302 and the inner walls of the extension rods 302 are all provided with positioning holes 303.

[0031] A hollow shaft 306 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of several extension rods 302. A positioning shaft 307 is slidably connected to the inner wall of several hollow shafts 306. The outer wall of several positioning shafts 307 is inserted into the inner wall of positioning holes 303. A limit ring 308 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of several positioning shafts 307. When the positioning shaft 307 is completely disengaged from the positioning hole 303, the extension rod 302 is pushed forward to the bottom of the next positioning hole 303. A spring 309 is sleeved on the outer wall of several positioning shafts 307. A pull ring 310 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the end of several positioning shafts 307 away from the limit ring 308. When the pull ring 310 starts to move outward, it will drive the positioning shaft 307 to move outward as well. During the movement, it will drive the limit ring 308 to move as well. During the movement of the limit ring 308, it will squeeze the spring 309.

[0032] One specific application of this embodiment is:

[0033] When workers need to use the equipment, they first attract the cattle to the bottom of the device by adding feed to the trough. Then, they rotate the turntable 209. When the turntable 209 starts to rotate, it drives the gear 208 to rotate mechanically. When the gear 208 starts to rotate, it drives the rack 206 to slide up and down. At this time, it is only necessary to control the direction of the rack 206 to move up and down according to the size of the cattle. When the rack 206 starts to move, it drives the neck clamp 304 to move in the same direction. When the turntable 209 starts to rotate, it drives the pull ring 310 to rotate. When the ratchet 210 starts to rotate... When the ratchet 210 moves, it will press the locking block 204. When the locking block 204 is pressed, it will drive the sliding shaft 202 to move downward. During the downward movement, it will press the spring 203. When the ratchet 210 stops pressing the locking block 204, the rebound force of the spring 203 will drive the locking block 204 to quickly reset. At this time, the locking block 204 will be locked into the tooth pitch between the ratchet 210, fixing and limiting the ratchet 210. When you want to move the rack 206 downward, you only need to pull the sliding shaft 202 downward. At this time, the sliding shaft 202 will drive the locking block 204 from... The ratchet 210 disengages, allowing adjustment of the rack 206. When the neck clamp 304 does not conform to the current cow's shape, pulling the pull ring 310 outwards causes the positioning shaft 307 to move outwards as well. During this movement, the limiting ring 308 moves along with it, compressing the spring 309. When the positioning shaft 307 is completely disengaged from the positioning hole 303, the extension rod 302 is pushed forward below the next positioning hole 303. Then, the pull... When the pull ring 310 is released, the previously compressed spring 309 will begin to rebound. The rebound force of the spring 309 will drive the positioning shaft 307 to reset via the limiting ring 308. At this time, the positioning shaft 307 will be inserted into another positioning hole 303 and fixed and limited along with the extension rod 302. At this time, the neck clamp 304 will not be in close contact with the cow's body, but will maintain a certain distance from it. This distance will not be greater than the cow's horns. This is to prevent the cow from rubbing against the neck clamp 304 when it is restless and causing injury to the cow, and also to prevent the cow from damaging the neck clamp 304.
