Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal body temperature detection technology, specifically to a veterinary animal body temperature detection device. Background Technology

[0002] In livestock farms, temperature monitoring of animals exhibiting abnormal behavior is a routine procedure. Abnormally elevated body temperature in animals (such as swine fever, avian influenza, and bovine tuberculosis) is a primary symptom of many infectious diseases. Daily temperature monitoring allows for the identification of infected individuals, enabling timely isolation and treatment to prevent the spread of the epidemic. Additionally, some animals (such as dairy cows and sows) experience a brief rise in body temperature after ovulation. By monitoring these temperature changes, the optimal mating time can be accurately determined, thereby improving reproductive success rates.

[0003] When taking the temperature of an animal, the thermometer is usually inserted through the anus. After the thermometer is inserted, the bulb of the thermometer should be pressed firmly against the folds of the rectal wall. Care should be taken not to insert the thermometer into the feces, otherwise the temperature reading will be inaccurate.

[0004] In existing technologies, veterinarians typically manually place thermometers for testing. After placement, due to abnormalities in the thermometer or the animal's condition, the animal may become agitated. During this process, the thermometer bulb needs to be kept in close contact with the rectal wall, requiring the veterinarian to hold the thermometer while the animal moves or twists to ensure its correct position. This holding time usually lasts for several minutes, which greatly consumes the veterinarian's time and energy, resulting in low testing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model proposes the following technical solution:

[0006] A veterinary animal body temperature detection device includes a main rod and a thermometer. A telescopic rod is slidably installed inside the main rod. A fixed block is fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic rod away from the main rod. A rotating bushing is rotatably installed on the fixed block. A sliding shaft is slidably installed inside the rotating bushing. An upper fixed frame is fixedly installed at the end of the sliding shaft away from the fixed block. A lower fixed frame is slidably installed on the upper fixed frame. Two flexible blocks are disposed between the upper and lower fixed frames. The flexible blocks are fixedly installed on the upper and lower fixed frames respectively. The flexible blocks are used to contact and hold one end of the thermometer. The flexible blocks are made of rubber or other flexible materials.

[0007] Furthermore, a clamping torsion spring is fixedly installed on the lower fixed frame, and the other end of the clamping torsion spring is fixedly installed on the upper fixed frame. The lower fixed frame is provided to ensure a tight connection between the upper fixed frame and the lower fixed frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the rotating bushing is provided with a plurality of spherical grooves, and an adjusting spring is fixedly installed inside the fixing block. An adjusting ball is fixedly installed at the other end of the adjusting spring. The adjusting ball is hemispherical and can fit into the spherical grooves on the outer side of the rotating bushing, so that the adjusting ball can restrict the rotation of the rotating bushing on the fixing block.

[0009] Furthermore, the telescopic rod is provided with multiple arc-shaped slots, which are symmetrically arranged on the telescopic rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing block is threaded with bolts, which are used to fix the position of the fixing block. After the bolts are tightened, the fixing block can be fixed on the telescopic rod.

[0011] Furthermore, multiple fixing brackets are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the main rod, and auxiliary plates are installed on both sides of the fixing brackets through cloth bags. The fixing brackets and auxiliary plates are used to make the device fit tightly against the back of the animal.

[0012] Furthermore, a tail bracket is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the main rod. The tail bracket has an arc-shaped groove. An inner spring is fixedly installed inside the tail bracket. An inner pressure block is fixedly installed at the other end of the inner spring. The inner pressure block fits into the arc-shaped groove on the telescopic rod.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention compared with the prior art are: (1) This device clamps the thermometer with the upper fixed frame and the flexible block, and deflects the thermometer so that the glass bulb of the thermometer can be inserted into the anal fold of the animal. This not only improves the accuracy of the thermometer in detecting temperature, but also avoids the need for manual use of this device; (2) By adjusting the distance between the fixed block and the tail frame, and then by pulling the sliding shaft, this device can detect the temperature of animals of different sizes and types, thus expanding the applicability of this device.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a veterinary animal body temperature detection device includes a main rod 103 and a thermometer 201. Multiple fixing brackets 101 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the main rod 103. Auxiliary plates 102 are installed on both sides of the fixing brackets 101 through cloth bags. The fixing brackets 101 and auxiliary plates 102 are used to make the device fit tightly against the back of the animal. At the same time, the fixing brackets 101 and auxiliary plates 102 are also used as counterweights so that the device can move with the animal when it moves. A tail bracket 104 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the main rod 103. The tail bracket 104 is provided with an arc-shaped groove. This arc-shaped groove is designed to allow the device to be placed on the animal's tail. When placed, the arc-shaped groove can fit with the bulge of the animal's tail.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a telescopic rod 105 is slidably installed inside the main rod 103. The telescopic rod 105 serves as an extension component of this device, and its length can be adjusted by sliding within the main rod 103. Multiple arc-shaped slots are symmetrically arranged on the telescopic rod 105. An inner spring 108 is fixedly installed inside the tail frame 104. An inner pressure block 109 is fixedly installed at the other end of the inner spring 108. The inner pressure block 109 engages with the arc-shaped slots on the telescopic rod 105. During use, the inner pressure block 109 primarily restricts the position of the telescopic rod 105. Only when the user forcefully pushes the telescopic rod 105 to move within the main rod 103 will the inner pressure block 109 be squeezed by the telescopic rod 105, thus allowing the telescopic rod 105 to move within the main rod 103. This method is to prevent the adjustable parts of the device from becoming loose during animal movement or twisting, which could cause changes in the position of the thermometer 201 within the animal's body.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a fixing block 106 is fixedly installed at one end of the telescopic rod 105 away from the main rod 103. A bolt 107 is threaded on the fixing block 106. The bolt 107 is used to fix the position of the fixing block 106. After the bolt 107 is tightened, the fixing block 106 can be fixed on the telescopic rod 105.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a rotating bushing 206 is rotatably mounted on the fixed block 106. Multiple spherical grooves are provided on the outer wall of the rotating bushing 206. An adjusting spring 208 is fixedly mounted inside the fixed block 106. An adjusting ball 207 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the adjusting spring 208. The adjusting ball 207 is hemispherical and can engage with the spherical grooves on the outer side of the rotating bushing 206, thus restricting the rotation of the rotating bushing 206 on the fixed block 106. A sliding shaft 205 is slidably mounted inside the rotating bushing 206. An upper fixing frame 202 is fixedly mounted on the end of the sliding shaft 205 away from the fixed block 106. A lower fixing frame 204 is slidably mounted on the upper fixing frame 202. The upper fixing frame 202 and the lower fixing frame 204... Two flexible blocks 203 are provided between the upper and lower fixed frames. The flexible blocks 203 are fixedly installed on the upper fixed frame 202 and the lower fixed frame 204, respectively. The flexible blocks 203 are used to contact and clamp one end of the thermometer 201. Generally, the flexible blocks 203 clamp the end of the thermometer 201 that is not the glass bulb. The flexible blocks 203 are made of rubber or other flexible materials. A clamping torsion spring 209 is fixedly installed on the lower fixed frame 204. The other end of the clamping torsion spring 209 is fixedly installed on the upper fixed frame 202. The lower fixed frame 204 is provided to ensure that the upper fixed frame 202 and the lower fixed frame 204 can be tightly connected, so as to achieve the purpose of clamping the thermometer 201. The upper fixed frame 202 is also provided with a rotating handle to facilitate the user to rotate the upper fixed frame 202.

[0025] Usage: When using this device, first pull the telescopic rod 105 to increase the distance between the fixing block 106 and the tail bracket 104 by more than half. Then, place the fixing bracket 101 and the auxiliary plate 102 on the animal's back, and place the tail bracket 104 at the animal's tail. At this time, the tail bracket 104 can be used to restrict the position of the animal's tail. Generally, the tail should be placed at an angle or facing upwards to expose the animal's anus. After that, the user can pull the sliding shaft 205 to slide it on the fixing block 106, so that the thermometer 201 is roughly aligned with the animal's anus. Then, the user pulls the fixing block 106 and the telescopic rod 105 to reduce the distance between the fixing block 106 and the tail bracket 104, so that the thermometer 201 gradually moves closer to the anus. When using the thermometer 201, it is important to ensure that the thermometer is properly positioned. The mercury column in thermometer 201 is shaken down to below 35°C. Lubricant or water is then applied to assist the thermometer 201 in entering the animal's anus. The user then pulls the sliding shaft 205 and the fixing block 106 to insert the thermometer 201 into the animal's anus. It is important to note that to prevent the thermometer bulb from entering the feces, the sliding shaft 205 and the upper fixing bracket 202 need to be rotated to deflect the thermometer 201 inside the animal's anus, allowing the bulb to penetrate the folds of the anal wall. Under these conditions, the temperature measured by the thermometer 201 is the actual body temperature of the animal. The user can then release control of the device and repeat the process with a new device for the next animal, performing batch testing. After 3-5 minutes, the thermometer 201 is removed to check its status, and the animal's internal temperature can then be read.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model.
