[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A calf care device in this embodiment includes a care box 1 and a support plate 2 disposed inside the care box 1. The outside of the care box 1 is provided with an installation component for quick assembly and disassembly of the support plate 2.
[0026] Please see Figure 1In this embodiment, the installation component includes frames 3 respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the nursing box 1. Positioning inserts 4 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the left and right frames 3. A handle 5 is disposed on the inner side of the frame 3. Threaded shafts 6 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the handle 5. Threaded blocks 7 are threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded shaft 6. Locking shafts 8 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the upper and lower threaded blocks 7.
[0027] The nursing box 1 has an air exchange component for keeping the air clean inside. The nursing box 1 has a fixing port on both the left and right sides inside. The air exchange component includes a mounting frame 9 that is fixedly connected to the inside of the two fixing ports respectively. An intake fan 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the right mounting frame 9, and an exhaust fan 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the left mounting frame 9.
[0028] Specifically, the right side of the inner side of the right mounting frame 9 and the left side of the inner side of the left mounting frame 9 are both provided with frame openings, and foreign object interception nets 12 are fixedly connected to the inner side of both frame openings. The left side of the inner side of the right mounting frame 9 and the right side of the inner side of the left mounting frame 9 are both provided with through holes, and the through holes are connected to the nursing box 1.
[0029] Specifically, an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 13 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the nursing box 1, and a gas molecule sensor 14 is fixedly connected to the inner rear side wall of the nursing box 1.
[0030] It should be noted that the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 13 sterilizes and disinfects the interior space of the care box 1, reduces bacterial growth, provides a relatively sterile care environment for calves, and reduces the risk of calves contracting diseases. The gas molecule sensor 14 can monitor the gas composition and concentration inside the care box 1 in real time, such as detecting the content of harmful gases such as ammonia and carbon dioxide.
[0031] Specifically, the top end of the upper threaded shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the corresponding frame 3, and the bottom end of the lower threaded shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the corresponding frame 3.
[0032] Specifically, there are four locking shafts 8 on both the upper and lower sides. The four locking shafts 8 on the upper side are arranged at the four corners of the top of the corresponding threaded block 7, and the four locking shafts 8 on the lower side are arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the corresponding threaded block 7.
[0033] Specifically, the nursing box 1 is fixedly connected to two fixing blocks 101 on both the left and right sides. The two fixing blocks 101 on the same side are located at the top and bottom of the corresponding frame 3, respectively. The opposite side wall of the upper and lower fixing blocks 101 is provided with a locking groove that matches the locking shaft 8. The upper and lower sides inside the frame 3 are provided with a connecting hole that matches the locking shaft 8, and the connecting hole is connected to the corresponding locking groove.
[0034] It should be noted that this design allows the locking shaft 8 to be smoothly inserted into the locking slot through the connecting hole, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the frame 3 and the fixing block 101, and thus stably installing the bearing plate 2 inside the nursing box 1.
[0035] Specifically, the left and right sides of the inner side of the nursing box 1 are provided with insertion ports that are compatible with the positioning plate 4, and the left and right side walls of the support plate 2 are provided with positioning grooves that are compatible with the positioning plate 4, and the positioning grooves are connected to the corresponding insertion ports.
[0036] It should be noted that the positioning plate 4 is inserted into the positioning groove of the carrier plate 2 through the insertion port, which can quickly and accurately position the carrier plate 2, prevent the carrier plate 2 from shifting during installation, and provide a foundation for fixing the carrier plate 2.
[0037] Specifically, the inner side of the support plate 2 is provided with several urine drainage holes, and the inner bottom wall of the nursing box 1 is provided with a urine collection box 15.
[0038] It should be noted that the urine drain hole is designed to allow urine produced by calves during care to drain from the support plate 2 in a timely manner, preventing urine from accumulating on the support plate 2, which can breed bacteria and produce odors. The urine collection box 15 is used to collect the discharged urine for subsequent centralized processing and reuse.
[0039] In addition, support plates are fixedly connected to the inner left and right side walls of the nursing box 1 to provide additional support for the bearing plate 2 and enhance the bearing stability of the bearing plate 2.
[0040] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0041] Place the support plate 2 in a suitable position inside the nursing box 1. Then, push the support plate 2 so that the positioning plate 4 is inserted into the positioning groove of the support plate 2 through the insertion ports on the left and right sides inside the nursing box 1, thus completing the initial positioning of the support plate 2. Rotate the handle 5 inside the frame 3. The handle 5 drives the threaded shafts 6 on the upper and lower sides to rotate synchronously. Since the threaded shaft 6 is threadedly connected to the threaded block 7, the rotation of the threaded shaft 6 will drive the threaded block 7 to move along the axial direction of the threaded shaft 6. The threaded blocks 7 on the upper and lower sides will respectively drive the locking shaft 8 on them to move, so that the locking shaft 8 is inserted into the locking groove on the fixing block 101 through the connecting hole of the frame 3, thus realizing the fixed connection between the frame 3 and the fixing block 101, thereby stably installing the support plate 2 inside the nursing box 1. When disassembling, rotate the handle 5 in the opposite direction to release the positioning of the support plate 2.
[0042] Turn on the intake fan 10 inside the right mounting frame 9 and the exhaust fan 11 inside the left mounting frame 9. The intake fan 10 draws fresh air from outside into the care box 1 through the opening of the right mounting frame 9. The foreign object interception net 12 inside the opening can block dust, debris and other objects from entering the care box 1. Fresh air enters the care box 1 through the through hole of the right mounting frame 9, providing sufficient oxygen for the calves. At the same time, the exhaust fan 11 draws in the stale air in the care box 1 through the through hole of the left mounting frame 9 and then exhausts it from the opening of the left mounting frame 9.
