Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This patent relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically a funnel-type medicine dispenser for animal husbandry. Background Technology
[0002] In livestock farming, medication is administered into the feed troughs of animals using a medication applicator. The medication is mixed with the feed to achieve the purpose of medicating the animals. Currently, this type of medication applicator is widely used for animals such as cattle and horses. Existing medication applicators consist of a horizontal rail and a funnel-shaped medication tank. The bottom of the tank is equipped with a medication outlet pipe, which is equipped with a switch valve. However, the amount of medication dispensed through the medication outlet pipe is not easy to adjust, and it is easy to dispense too much or too little medication, resulting in poor practicality. Therefore, we propose a funnel-shaped medication applicator for livestock farming. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this patent is to provide a funnel-type medication dispenser for livestock. This patent features a medication dispensing pipe installed at the bottom of the medication dispensing tank. The dispensing pipe consists of a tube body, a ball valve, and an internal piston. When adjusting the medication dispensing amount, the position of the piston can be adjusted according to the scale lines on the side wall of the tube body. After adjustment, the space between the piston and the ball valve represents the medication dispensing amount. Opening the ball valve allows the medication from the medication dispensing tank to enter the tube body. Once the space is filled with medication, the piston opens to allow the medication to fall out. This design facilitates the adjustment of the medication dispensing amount, preventing excessive or insufficient dispensing, and allows for dosage adjustments to meet the needs of different animals.

[0019] The present patent is further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the patent. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this patent, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to this patent, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0020] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this patent. A livestock funnel-type medicine dispenser includes a medicine dispenser 1 and a horizontal rail 4. The bottom end of the medicine dispenser 1 is fixedly connected to a medicine outlet pipe 2. Slip rings 3 are fixedly installed on both the left and right ends of the outer side wall of the medicine dispenser 1. The slip rings 3 are slidably installed on the side wall of the horizontal rail 4. Supports 5 are installed on both ends of the slip rings 3.
[0021] The dispensing tube 2 includes a tube body 6, a ball valve 7 is provided on the upper side of the tube body 6, a piston 8 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the tube body 6, and a pull rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston 8.
[0022] The tube 6 is a transparent tube with graduated lines distributed vertically on its side wall to indicate the amount of medicine entering the tube.
[0023] The piston 8 includes a hard ring 10, a rubber ring 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the hard ring 10, the outer wall of the rubber ring 11 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the tube body 6, a rubber ring 12 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the inner wall of the hard ring 10, the top of the rubber ring 12 is provided with a circular groove, the bottom of the rubber ring 12 is provided with an expansion groove, connecting rods 13 are fixedly installed on both the left and right ends of the inner wall of the hard ring 10, an internal threaded ring 14 is fixedly installed on the inner end of the connecting rod 13, the upper side of the side wall of the pull rod 9 is provided with a thread, the upper side of the side wall of the pull rod 9 is screwed to the internal threaded ring 14, a circular plate 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the pull rod 9, and the bottom of the circular plate 15 is tightly fitted to the bottom wall of the circular groove.
[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the rotatable lever 9 causes the circular plate 15 to move upward. The circular plate 15 disengages from the circular groove at the top of the rubber ring 12. At this time, the liquid medicine in the tube 6 enters the expansion groove from the circular groove on the rubber ring 12, and then falls out from the gap between the hard ring 10 and the internal threaded ring 14.
[0025] Specifically, it also includes a sealing ring 18, an inner tube 16 fixedly installed at the bottom of the internal threaded ring 14, an outer tube 17 fixedly installed at the bottom of the hard ring 10, a top of the sealing ring 18 fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner tube 16 and the outer tube 17, and an inclined tube 19 embedded on the lower side of the left side wall of the outer tube 17.
[0026] like Figure 2 ,4 As shown, by setting the inner tube 16, the outer tube 17, and the sealing ring 18, the falling medicine can be prevented from getting on the pull rod 9 and its bottom end.
[0027] Specifically, the slip ring 3 includes a square ring 20, and the four sides of the inner sidewall of the square ring 20 are provided with mounting grooves 21. Rollers 22 are connected in the mounting grooves 21 through a rotating shaft. The four sides of the sidewall of the horizontal rail 4 are provided with wheel grooves 23, and the rollers 22 are rotatably installed in the wheel grooves 23.
[0028] Specifically, the inner wall of the square ring 20 does not contact the side wall of the horizontal rail 4.
[0029] If the ring slides directly on the inner wall of the ring and onto the side wall of the horizontal rail 4, the friction of the contact surface is large, which makes it difficult for personnel to push the medicine tank 1. However, by having the roller 22 roll and be installed in the wheel groove 23, the friction effect can be greatly reduced, making it easier for personnel to operate.
[0030] Specifically, the square ring 20 includes a first half-ring 24 and a second half-ring 25.
[0031] By dividing the slowing ring 20 into a first half-ring 24 and a second half-ring 25, it is easier to open the internal mounting groove 21 in the early stage, and it is also easier to install the roller 22 in the mounting groove 21. After the installation is completed, the mating part of the first half-ring 24 and the second half-ring 25 can be fixed by spot welding.
[0032] Working principle: The bottom plate of the bracket 5 is fixed to the ground with bolts. At this time, the horizontal rail 4 is located above the livestock feeding troughs in the breeding farm. There are multiple feeding troughs arranged continuously end to end. For example, if 200 ml of medicine needs to be injected into each feeding trough, the pull rod 9 can be moved down so that the piston 8 corresponds to the 200 ml position on the tube 6 (before this process, the circular plate 15 needs to be moved upward to disengage from the circular groove so that the air pressure between the ball valve 7 and the piston 8 is the same as the outside air pressure). Then the ball valve is opened. 7. The medicine in the medicine tank 1 enters the tube body 6. The space between the ball valve 7 and the piston 8 in the tube body 6 is filled to 200 ml. The ball valve 7 is closed, and the pull rod 9 is rotated to move the circular plate 15 upward. The circular plate 15 disengages from the circular groove at the top of the rubber ring 12. At this time, the medicine in the tube body 6 enters the expansion groove from the circular groove on the rubber ring 12, and then falls from the gap between the hard ring 10 and the internal threaded ring 14 into the space between the inner tube 16 and the outer tube 17. Finally, it is injected into the feeding trough through the inclined tube 19.
[0033] It should be noted that the device structure and accompanying drawings of this patent mainly describe the principle of this patent. In terms of the technical aspects of this design principle, the setting of the device's power mechanism, power supply system and control system is not fully described. However, those skilled in the art who understand the principle of the above patent can clearly understand the specifics of its power mechanism, power supply system and control system.
[0034] This patent features a dispensing tube installed at the bottom of the medication dispenser. The dispensing tube consists of a tube body, a ball valve, and an internal piston. To adjust the dispensing volume, the position of the piston can be adjusted according to the scale lines on the side wall of the tube body. After adjustment, the space between the piston and the ball valve represents the dispensing volume. Opening the ball valve allows the medication from the medication dispenser to enter the tube body. Once the space is filled with medication, the piston is opened to allow the medication to fall out. This design facilitates the adjustment of the dispensing volume, preventing excessive or insufficient dispensing, and allows for dosage adjustments to meet the needs of different animals.
