Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a hoof trimming and fixing device for sheep, specifically a portable hoof trimming and fixing device for sheep. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern animal husbandry, more and more farmers are paying attention to sheep health management, especially in the care and trimming of hooves. The health of sheep hooves has a direct impact on sheep growth and yield. Currently, many farmers still use traditional methods for hoof trimming. This method usually relies on human strength and skill, lacking effective support and fixing devices. This method has the following problems: many existing devices are difficult to assemble or adjust quickly, especially in outdoor environments, increasing the difficulty of operation. Existing hoof trimming fixing devices are usually bulky and poorly portable, making it very difficult for farmers to trim hooves in the field, as they cannot secure a single sheep leg. Furthermore, existing products lack flexibility and adjustability in design, failing to meet the needs of sheep of different breeds and sizes. This causes many inconveniences for farmers and affects work efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a portable hoof trimming and fixing device to meet farmers' needs for safety, stability, portability, and user-friendly design during the hoof trimming process. This device not only improves the stability and comfort of the sheep but also enhances the efficiency and safety of hoof trimming, solving the inconveniences of traditional hoof trimming methods. During hoof trimming, it can fix the leg on the side being trimmed, with the clip securing the leg joint, preventing the leg from bending or moving, thus improving work efficiency and ensuring personnel safety.

[0023] To make the technical solution of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] like Figure 1-7 As shown in this embodiment Figure 1-7 This utility model discloses a portable hoof trimming and fixing device, comprising a pair of fixing leg rings 1 and a telescopic device 2 fitted on one side of the pair of fixing leg rings 1, wherein:

[0026] The pair of fixing leg rings 1 includes a first fixing half ring 101 and a second fixing half ring 102. The first fixing half ring 101 has a first connecting hole 103 at its bottom, and the second fixing half ring 102 has a pair of second connecting holes 104 at its bottom. The first connecting hole 103 and the pair of second connecting holes 104 are connected by a pin 105. The first fixing half ring 101 has a first extension rod 106 on one side, and one end of the first extension rod 106 has a first threaded hole 107. The second fixing half ring 102 has a second extension rod 108 on one side, and one end of the second extension rod 108 has a second threaded hole 109. The first threaded hole 107 and the second threaded hole 109 are connected by a screw 110. One end of the screw 110 has a first nut 111, and the other end of the screw 110 has a second nut 112.

[0027] The telescopic device 2 includes a sliding rod 201 and a fixed rod 202. The sliding rod 201 is provided with a sliding elongated hole 203. A connecting block 204 is provided at the top of the fixed rod 202. The connecting block 204 passes through the sliding elongated hole 203. The top of the sliding rod 201 is fixedly connected to one of the pair of fixed leg rings 1, and the fixed rod 202 is fixedly connected to the other of the pair of fixed leg rings 1.

[0028] The fixed rod 202 has symmetrical limiting grooves 205 on both sides of the top, and the sliding rod 201 has symmetrical "L" shaped hooks 206 on both sides of the bottom, with one end of the "L" shaped hook 206 being movably connected to the sliding rod 201.

[0029] Both the inner rings of the first fixed half-ring 101 and the second fixed half-ring 102 are provided with sponge gaskets 113.

[0030] The connecting block 204 has a thread at one end that passes through the sliding elongated hole 203, and a cap nut 207 is provided at the threaded end of the connecting block 204.

[0031] The fixing rod 202 is provided with anti-slip pads 208 symmetrically on both sides.

[0032] In use, the first fixing half-ring 101 has a first connecting hole 103 at its bottom, while the second fixing half-ring 102 has a pair of second connecting holes 104 at its bottom. The two are connected by a pin 105, so that the first fixing half-ring 101 and the second fixing half-ring 102 form a ring structure that can wrap around the lamb leg.

[0033] The following are the specific steps for using this device:

[0034] Adjust the opening size of the first fixed half-ring 101 and the second fixed half-ring 102 according to the leg diameter of the sheep. Fasten the upper fixed leg ring 1 above the sheep's knee. Adjust the sliding rod 201 and the fixed rod 202, sliding the sliding rod 201 through the sliding elongated hole 203 so that the horizontal part of the "L"-shaped hooks 206 fitted on both sides of the bottom of the sliding rod 201 can be inserted into the limiting grooves 205 fitted on both sides of the top of the fixed rod 202. The insertion of the "L"-shaped hooks into the limiting grooves 205 can limit the movement, preventing the sliding rod 201 from sliding downwards during use.

[0035] Next, tighten the first nut 111 and the second nut 112, and then place the other fixing leg ring 1 near the sheep's hoof and tighten the first nut 111 and the second nut 112, ensuring that both fixing leg rings 1 are tightly fastened to the sheep's leg. Once fastened, the sheep's leg is securely positioned. At this point, because the sliding rod 201 and the fixing rod 202 are fixed, the sheep's leg cannot bend or move freely, achieving the best trimming effect. After the sheep is in good condition and properly secured, the operator can begin trimming the sheep's hoof.

[0036] After hoof trimming, simply remove the retaining leg rings. The equipment can be quickly disassembled and cleaned for easy use next time.

[0037] Stability: During hoof trimming, the sheep's legs are properly secured, preventing the sheep from making violent movements due to discomfort or fright, thus ensuring the safety and effectiveness of hoof trimming.

[0038] Easy to operate: The device is lightweight and easy to carry, allowing farmers to quickly complete hoof trimming work in different locations, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0039] Humanized design: The built-in sponge pads effectively relieve the pressure on the sheep from the restraints, improve the sheep's comfort, and reduce unnecessary stress.

[0040] Easy to adjust: Through a simple thread and connection structure, users can quickly adjust the device according to actual needs, adapting to different sheep sizes and trimming requirements.

[0041] The detachable design saves storage space and makes it convenient and easy to store.

[0042] It should be noted that the embodiments described herein are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all implementations of this utility model. These embodiments are merely illustrative and are intended only to provide a more intuitive and clear way of understanding the content of this utility model, not to limit the technical solutions described herein. All other implementation methods that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without creative effort, as well as other simple substitutions and variations of the technical solutions of this utility model, without departing from the concept of this utility model, are within the protection scope of this utility model.
