Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of red panda breeding technology, and in particular to a device to assist red panda cubs in defecation. Background Technology

[0002] Newborn red panda cubs lack the ability to defecate independently and rely entirely on their mothers or human intervention. Unlike adults, cubs' anal sphincter muscles and nervous systems are not yet mature, requiring external physical stimulation to activate the defecation reflex.

[0003] Wild red panda mothers stimulate their cubs to defecate by licking their anal area. However, both wild and captive red pandas experience abandonment by their mothers, resulting in cubs not receiving continuous care. For abandoned red panda cubs, the current primary method is to repeatedly wipe the anal area with a warm, damp cotton ball to stimulate defecation.

[0004] The tongue of a red panda mother has nipple-like bumps that still stimulate the cub's defecation. However, cotton balls are soft and smooth, and cannot simulate the texture and friction of the mother's tongue. Therefore, the effectiveness of stimulating the cub's defecation by repeatedly wiping the anus with cotton balls is affected by the individual operation method of the zookeeper. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a defecation assistance device for red panda cubs, which can enhance the stimulation effect of defecation through a biomimetic structure.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] This utility model provides a defecation assistance device for red panda cubs, including a handle. The handle is connected to a wiping component for wiping the perianal area of ​​the red panda cub. The wiping component includes a cotton ball and a clamping assembly for holding the cotton ball. The clamping assembly includes a fixing part connected to the handle. The fixing part is connected to two clamping parts. The cotton ball is clamped between the two clamping parts. A silicone layer is provided on the side of the clamping parts away from the cotton ball. Several massage bumps are integrally formed on the silicone layer.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing part and the two clamping parts are integrally formed.

[0009] Furthermore, the two clamping parts are a first clamping part and a second clamping part. The first clamping part is integrally formed with the fixing part. The fixing part is provided with a connecting part, and the connecting part is connected with a pin. The second clamping part is rotatably connected to the pin. A torsion spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the pin. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the fixing part, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the second clamping part.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the handle facing the fixing part has a connecting shaft, which is detachably connected to the fixing part.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the connecting shaft is a snap-fit ​​end, and the fixing part has a receiving groove for accommodating the snap-fit ​​end. The side wall of the fixing part has a slot that communicates with the receiving groove. The snap-fit ​​end includes two buckles integrally formed with the connecting shaft. The ends of the buckles have arc-shaped protrusions. When the connecting shaft is connected to the fixing part, the arc-shaped protrusions are located in the slots and contact the side wall of the slots.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting shaft and the fixing part are connected by an interference fit.

[0013] Furthermore, the handle has an internal mounting cavity, in which a motor is fixedly connected. An eccentric shaft is connected to the output end of the motor. One end of the connecting shaft extends into the mounting cavity, and the end of the eccentric shaft away from the motor is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft.

[0014] The advantages of this invention are as follows: By setting massage protrusions on the clamping plate, this device can better simulate the physiological structure of a mother red panda's tongue. When using this device to stimulate the anus of a red panda cub, it can better mimic the friction stimulation when the mother licks, effectively promoting the cub's defecation reflex. Compared with the traditional manual stimulation method using a handheld warm water cotton ball, this method greatly improves the efficiency of defecation stimulation.

[0015] The silicone layer and massage bumps are made of soft silicone material, causing no discomfort when in contact with the pup's perianal skin, effectively preventing skin damage. Furthermore, silicone has good biocompatibility and will not cause adverse reactions such as skin allergies in the pup, ensuring the pup's physiological safety during the procedure.

[0016] When the motor drives the eccentric shaft, the vibration is transmitted to the clamping part through the connecting shaft, causing the massage bumps to generate high-frequency micro-vibrations, which can more effectively stimulate the anal nerves of the pup and accelerate the formation of the defecation reflex.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a defecation assistance device for red panda cubs, including a handle 1. The handle 1 is connected to a wiping component 2 for wiping the anus of the red panda cub. The wiping component 2 includes a cotton ball 3 and a clamping assembly 4 for holding the cotton ball 3. The cotton ball 3 is a degreased cotton ball. The clamping assembly 4 includes a fixing part 41 connected to the handle 1. The fixing part 41 is connected to two clamping parts 42. The fixing part 41 and the clamping parts 42 are made of polypropylene. The cotton ball 3 is clamped between the two clamping parts 42. When the cotton ball 3 is fixed between the two clamping parts 42, the outer edge of the cotton ball 3 is located outside the clamping parts 42. A silicone layer 43 is provided on the side of the clamping parts 42 away from the cotton ball 3. The silicone layer 43 is adhered to the clamping parts 42. Several massage protrusions 431 are integrally formed on the silicone layer 43.

[0028] In this utility model, the clamping component 4 has two structures; the first structure of the clamping component 4 is:

[0029] The fixing part 41 and the two clamping parts 42 are integrally formed. In use, the clamping parts 42 are pried open and the cotton ball 3 is placed between the two clamping parts 42. Since the fixing part 41 and the two clamping parts 42 are both made of polypropylene, which has a certain degree of toughness, the clamping parts 42 can be reset to fix the cotton ball 3 between the two clamping parts 42.

[0030] The second structure of the clamping assembly 4 is as follows: the two clamping portions 42 are divided into a first clamping portion 421 and a second clamping portion 422. The first clamping portion 421 is integrally formed with the fixing portion 41. The fixing portion 41 is provided with a connecting portion 411, and the connecting portion 411 is connected to a pin 44. The second clamping portion 422 is rotatably connected to the pin 44. A torsion spring 45 is sleeved on the outer wall of the pin 44. One end of the torsion spring 45 is fixedly connected to the fixing portion 41, and the other end of the torsion spring 45 is fixedly connected to the second clamping portion 422. More specifically, the second clamping portion 422 consists of a straight portion 4222 and an inclined upward pressing portion 4221. The straight portion 4222 and the pressing portion 4221 are integrally formed, and the pressing portion 4221 is hinged to the pin 44. The other end of the torsion spring 45 is fixedly connected to the pressing portion 4221. Before use, the feeder presses the pressing part 4221 to open the second clamping part 422, places the cotton ball 3 between the two clamping parts 42, and after releasing the pressing part 4221, twists the spring 45 to reset the second clamping part 422, so as to fix the cotton ball 3 between the two clamping parts 42.

[0031] After fixing the cotton ball 3, soak it in warm water (38℃-40℃) and wipe the perianal area of ​​the panda cub. During the wiping process, the massage bumps 431 come into contact with the panda cub's skin, better mimicking the friction stimulation when the mother licks, effectively promoting the cub's defecation reflex. Compared with the traditional manual stimulation method using a handheld warm water cotton ball 3, this method greatly improves the efficiency of defecation stimulation.

[0032] The handle has a connecting shaft 11 at one end facing the fixing part, and the connecting shaft 11 is detachably connected to the fixing part.

[0033] In this utility model, there are two types of detachable structures for the connecting shaft 11 and the fixing part 41. The first type is as follows: one end of the connecting shaft 11 has a snap-fit ​​end 12, the fixing part 41 has a receiving groove 412 for accommodating the snap-fit ​​end 12, and the side wall of the fixing part 41 has a slot 413 that communicates with the receiving groove 412. The snap-fit ​​end 12 includes two buckles 121 integrally formed with the connecting shaft 11. The end of the buckle 121 has an arc-shaped protrusion 122. When the connecting shaft 11 is connected to the fixing part 41, the arc-shaped protrusion 122 is located in the slot 413 and contacts the side wall of the slot 413.

[0034] The second structure is: the connecting shaft 11 and the fixing part are connected by an interference fit.

[0035] Specifically, the handle 1 has an internal mounting cavity, in which a motor 5 is fixedly connected. An eccentric shaft 6 is connected to the output end of the motor 5. One end of a connecting shaft 11 extends into the mounting cavity, and the end of the eccentric shaft 6 away from the motor 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 11. A battery 7 is also installed inside the handle, providing power for the motor's operation.

[0036] When the motor drives the eccentric shaft, the vibration is transmitted to the clamping part through the connecting shaft, causing the massage bumps to generate high-frequency micro-vibrations, which can more effectively stimulate the anal nerves of the pup and accelerate the formation of the defecation reflex.

[0037] Both ends of the handle 1 are open, and the two ends of the handle 1 are respectively connected to a fixing cover 8 for closing the opening and a battery cover 9. The fixing cover 8 fixes the connecting shaft to the end of the handle 1 and closes one of the openings; the battery cover 9 is used to close the other opening.

[0038] As shown in the figure, the eccentric shaft 6 is composed of a first cylindrical section 61, a second cylindrical section 62, and a third cylindrical section 63. The first cylindrical section 61 is connected to the motor, and the third cylindrical section 63 is connected to the connecting shaft. The second cylindrical section 62 has a groove, so that the geometric center of the second cylindrical section 62 does not coincide with the rotation center. When the motor output end rotates, the second cylindrical section vibrates, and the vibration is transmitted to the clamping part through the connecting shaft.

[0039] This device, by setting massage bumps 431 on the clamping plate, can better simulate the physiological structure of the tongue of a female red panda. When using this device to stimulate the perianal area of ​​a red panda cub, it can better mimic the friction stimulation when the mother licks, effectively promoting the cub's defecation reflex. Compared with the traditional manual stimulation method using a handheld warm water cotton ball, it greatly improves the efficiency of defecation stimulation.

[0040] The silicone layer 43 and massage bumps 431, made of soft silicone, do not cause discomfort when in contact with the pup's perianal skin, effectively preventing damage to the pup's skin. Furthermore, silicone has good biocompatibility and will not cause adverse reactions such as skin allergies in the pup, ensuring the pup's physiological safety during the procedure.

[0041] When the motor drives the eccentric shaft, the vibration is transmitted to the clamping part through the connecting shaft, causing the massage bumps to generate high-frequency micro-vibrations, which can more effectively stimulate the anal nerves of the pup and accelerate the formation of the defecation reflex.
