Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a teeth grinding device. Background Technology

[0002] Teeth grinding in piglets is a natural need for oral development and physiological regulation, but improper teeth grinding management can easily lead to multiple problems. Excessively sharp deciduous teeth in early piglets can cause mechanical damage to the sow's teats during suckling, increasing the risk of mastitis; abnormal biting behavior during weaning may escalate into group fights, causing skin trauma and infection. Traditional electric teeth grinders treat tooth crowns mechanically, but forced operation can easily trigger stress responses in piglets, and operational errors can cause gingival damage and secondary infection risks.

[0003] Patent CN212877171U discloses a weaning toy for piglets, including a fixed rod, a connecting device, a teeth-grinding feeding stick, and a ball. The bottom end of the fixed rod is connected to a fixed base, and fixed baffles are provided between the four ends of the bottom end of the fixed rod and the fixed base. A base protective cover is provided on the fixed baffles. A connecting device is provided on the upper side of the fixed rod, and the other end of the connecting device is connected to the teeth-grinding feeding stick. A connecting rope is bound to the top end of the fixed rod, and the other end of the connecting rope is connected to the ball. This piglet weaning toy, with its teeth-grinding feeding stick and ball, allows piglets to fully expend energy, satisfies their curiosity, and reduces fighting such as tail biting and ear biting. The teeth-grinding feeding stick contains high-quality feed, which can better attract the piglets' attention and induce them to actively grind their teeth. However, in the above design, the base is placed directly on the ground, making it easy for it to come into contact with feces and urine, increasing the risk of disease transmission. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing teeth grinding devices that are placed directly on the bottom surface, and to provide a teeth grinding device that can be fixed on the guardrail, away from the ground, to avoid contact with fecal and urinary excrement and reduce the risk of disease transmission.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A teeth grinding device includes a base, a teeth grinding module, and a fixing module for connecting the base to a guardrail, wherein the teeth grinding module and the fixing module are both mounted on the base.

[0007] The present invention relates to a teeth-grinding device, which mounts a teeth-grinding module and a fixing module on a base. By connecting the fixing module to the guardrail, the teeth-grinding device is installed on the guardrail. Piglets can grind their teeth by biting the teeth-grinding module. The teeth-grinding device can be fixed to the guardrail by the fixing module to prevent the teeth-grinding device from coming into contact with feces and urine, thus preventing the risk of disease transmission. It can also prevent piglets from trampling on the device and shortening its lifespan.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing module includes a fixing base, which is detachably connected to the base. The fixing base has an arc-shaped through groove through which the guardrail can pass. A first connecting portion and a second connecting portion are respectively provided on both sides of the top opening of the arc-shaped through groove. The first connecting portion has a first snap-fit ​​portion, and the second connecting portion has several second snap-fit ​​portions that engage with the first snap-fit ​​portion. When installing the grinding device, the fixing base is installed on the base, and the fixing base is moved so that the guardrail of a suitable height is located in the arc-shaped through groove. The first and second connecting portions are moved so that the first snap-fit ​​portion engages with the second snap-fit ​​portion, thereby installing the grinding device on the guardrail. The presence of several second snap-fit ​​portions allows the fixing module to be fixed to guardrails with different cross-sectional areas by engaging the first snap-fit ​​portion with different second snap-fit ​​portions, thus expanding the applicability of the grinding device.

[0009] Furthermore, the first connecting portion includes a first rotating arm, a second rotating arm, and a first arc-shaped arm integrally formed with the fixed base. One end of the first rotating arm is rotatably connected to the first arc-shaped arm, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second rotating arm. The first latching part is disposed on the second rotating arm, and the second connecting portion includes a second arc-shaped arm, with the second latching part disposed on the second arc-shaped arm. The first and second rotating arms increase the movable range of the first connecting portion, better adapting to guardrails with different cross-sections.

[0010] Furthermore, the molar module includes a molar structure and a connector. The molar structure is fixedly connected to the connector. The base has a first mounting hole that mates with the connector, and the connector is detachably inserted into the first mounting hole. By inserting and removing the connector into the first mounting hole, the molar structure can be easily replaced. When the molar structure is excessively worn or damaged, the molar module can be replaced independently without replacing the entire device.

[0011] Furthermore, the inside of the molar structure is equipped with a warning layer. When piglets gnaw on the molar structure and wear it down to a certain extent, the warning layer is exposed, prompting staff to replace it in time. This prevents excessive wear of the molar structure from rendering it unusable for piglets, achieving contactless wear monitoring and reducing monitoring costs and the interference of manual inspections on the pig herd.

[0012] Furthermore, the molar structure includes a molar component and a warning ring. The molar component is connected to the warning ring. The molar component has a second mounting hole, the axis of which coincides with the axis of the warning ring. The connector is fixedly connected to the second mounting hole and the inner wall of the warning ring. The warning ring includes a safety layer, and the warning layer is connected to the inner wall of the safety layer. While the piglet gnaws on the molar component, it also gnaws on the warning ring. When the piglet bites through the safety layer, the warning layer is exposed, prompting the worker to replace it. The warning ring connected to the molar component eliminates the need for a layered structure during production, reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the molar component.

[0013] Furthermore, the fixing module is provided with a hook, which is rotatably connected to the fixing module. The base is provided with a hook groove that mates with the hook, and the hook is engaged in the hook groove. When installing the fixing module, rotating the hook engages it in the groove, limiting the position of the base and connecting the fixing module to the base.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a fixing screw. The fixing module has a screw hole on its side, and the hook has a fixing hole. The fixing screw passes through the fixing hole and engages with the screw hole. Rotate the hook until it engages in the groove, then tighten the fixing screw to press the hook firmly, restricting its rotation and preventing it from detaching from the groove.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes an anti-slip buckle, with both the base and the fixing module abutting against the inner side of the anti-slip buckle. The anti-slip buckle restricts the relative position of the base and the fixing module, preventing relative sliding between them and making the installation of the fixing module more stable.

[0016] Furthermore, the surface of the teething component has transverse textures perpendicular to the piglet's biting direction. These transverse textures cater to the piglet's biting habits and enhance the teeth-grinding effect.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model relates to a teeth-grinding device with the following features: 1. The teeth-grinding device can be fixed to the guardrail using a fixing module to prevent contact between the device and feces / urine, thus reducing the risk of disease transmission; 2. It has several second buckle parts, allowing the fixing module to be fixed to guardrails with different cross-sectional areas by engaging the first buckle part with different second buckle parts, expanding the applicability of the teeth-grinding device; 3. The teeth-grinding structure has an internal warning layer. When the teeth-grinding structure is worn to a certain extent, the warning layer is exposed, prompting staff to replace it in time, preventing excessive wear that could render the device unusable for piglets, and achieving contactless wear monitoring; 4. Hooks and anti-slip straps limit the relative position of the base and the fixing module, making the installation of the fixing module more stable; 5. Horizontal textures are set on the surface of the teeth-grinding component to cater to the piglets' chewing habits and enhance the teeth-grinding effect. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 The first embodiment of the teeth grinding device of this utility model is shown, including a base 1, a teeth grinding module 2 and a fixing module 3 for connecting the base 1 to the guardrail. Both the teeth grinding module 2 and the fixing module 3 are installed on the base 1.

[0027] This utility model discloses a teeth-grinding device. A teeth-grinding module 2 and a fixing module 3 are mounted on a base 1. The teeth-grinding device is installed on the guardrail by connecting the fixing module 3 to the guardrail. Piglets can grind their teeth by biting the teeth-grinding module 2. The teeth-grinding device is fixed to the guardrail by the fixing module 3, preventing contact between the device and feces / urine, thus reducing the risk of disease transmission. It also prevents piglets from trampling on the device, which would shorten its lifespan. In this embodiment, the base 1 is made of beech wood.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixing module 3 includes a fixing base 31, which is detachably connected to the base 1. The fixing base 31 has an arc-shaped through groove through which the guardrail can pass. A first connecting part 32 and a second connecting part 33 are respectively provided on both sides of the top opening of the arc-shaped through groove. The first connecting part 32 has a first latching part, and the second connecting part 33 has several second latching parts 331 that engage with the first latching part. When installing the teeth grinding device, the fixing base 31 is installed on the base 1, and the fixing base 31 is moved so that the guardrail of a suitable height is located in the arc-shaped through groove. The first connecting part 32 and the second connecting part 33 are moved so that the first latching part engages with the second latching part 331, thereby installing the teeth grinding device on the guardrail. The presence of several second latching parts 331 allows the fixing module 3 to be fixed on guardrails with different cross-sectional areas by engaging the first latching part with different second latching parts 331, thus expanding the applicability of the teeth grinding device. In this embodiment, the fixing module 3 is made of HDPE material, which has good hardness, tensile strength and elasticity; the top of the fixing seat 31 is flat. During installation, the base 1 is placed on the top of the fixing seat 31, and then the base 1 is connected to the fixing seat 31.

[0029] Both the first connecting portion 32 and the second connecting portion 33, which enable the mounting base 31 to be installed on the guardrail, are applicable to this utility model. The first connecting portion 32 and the second connecting portion 33 listed in this embodiment are not intended to limit this utility model. In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 32 includes a first rotating arm 322, a second rotating arm 323, and a first arc-shaped arm 321 integrally formed with the mounting base 31. One end of the first rotating arm 322 is rotatably connected to the first arc-shaped arm 321, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second rotating arm 323. A first latching portion is disposed on the second rotating arm 323. The second connecting portion 33 includes a second arc-shaped arm, and a second latching portion 331 is disposed on the second arc-shaped arm. The first rotating arm 322 and the second rotating arm 323 increase the movable range of the first connecting portion 32, better adapting to guardrails with different cross-sections. In this embodiment, the first latching portion is a male latch, and the second latching portion 331 is a female latch.

[0030] Alternatively, the first latching part can be directly set on the first arc-shaped arm 321. When installing the fixing seat 31, the first arc-shaped arm 321 and the second arc-shaped arm are bent so that the first arc-shaped arm 321 and the second arc-shaped arm move towards each other, and the first latching part is engaged with the second latching part 331.

[0031] The working principle of the teeth grinding device in this embodiment is as follows: The teeth grinding module 2 and the fixing module 3 are installed on the base 1. The fixing base 31 is moved so that the guardrail 20-25cm above the ground is located in the arc-shaped through groove. The first arc-shaped arm 321 and the second arc-shaped arm are rotated so that the first buckle part and the second buckle part 331 are engaged, thereby installing the teeth grinding device on the guardrail. Piglets can grind their teeth by biting the teeth grinding module 2.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] This embodiment is the second embodiment of the teeth grinding device of this utility model. This embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, except that, as Figure 3 As shown, the molar module 2 includes a molar structure and a connector 23. The molar structure is fixedly connected to the connector 23. The base 1 has a first mounting hole that mates with the connector 23, and the connector 23 is detachably inserted into the first mounting hole. By inserting and removing the connector 23 into the first mounting hole, the molar structure can be easily replaced. When the molar structure is excessively worn or damaged, the molar module 2 can be replaced independently without replacing the entire device.

[0034] The inside of the molar structure is equipped with a warning layer 222. When piglets gnaw on the molar structure and wear it down to a certain extent, the warning layer 222 is exposed, prompting staff to replace it in time. This prevents the molar structure from being worn down to the point that the piglets cannot use it properly, achieving contactless wear monitoring and reducing monitoring costs and the interference of manual inspection on the pig herd.

[0035] The grinding structure includes a grinding component 21 and a warning ring 22. The grinding component 21 is connected to the warning ring 22. The grinding component 21 has a second mounting hole, the axis of which coincides with the axis of the warning ring 22. A connector 23 is fixedly connected to the second mounting hole and the inner wall of the warning ring 22. The warning ring 22 includes a safety layer 221, which is connected to the inner wall of the safety layer 221. While the piglet gnaws on the grinding component 21, it also gnaws on the warning ring 22. When the piglet bites through the safety layer 221, the warning layer 222 is exposed, prompting the staff to replace it. The warning ring 22 connected to the grinding component 21 eliminates the need to process a layered structure during the production of the grinding component 21, reducing the production difficulty of the grinding component 21.

[0036] In this embodiment, two teething components 21 are provided, and the two teething components 21 are respectively connected to the two end faces of the warning ring 22. The teething components 21 and the warning ring 22 are bonded together with food-grade adhesive. The teething components 21 are made of wood, and the warning ring 22 is a rubber ring. The warning ring 22 is made of food-grade rubber material, which is inexpensive and easy for piglets to bite through. The safety layer 221 is blue, and the warning layer 222 is red. The contrast between the colors of the safety layer 221 and the warning layer 222 enhances the warning effect when the warning layer 222 is exposed. The connector 23 is a pin, and the connector 23 is fixedly connected to the teething components 21 and the warning ring 22 with adhesive.

[0037] The working principle of the teeth grinding device in this embodiment is as follows: When installing the teeth grinding module 2, the two teeth grinding parts 21 are glued to the warning ring 22, and the connector 23 is inserted into the two first mounting holes and the inner ring of the warning ring 22, so that the connector 23 is fixedly connected to the teeth grinding parts 21 and the warning ring 22 respectively. The connector 23 is inserted into the first mounting hole of the base 1 and fixed, thus completing the installation of the teeth grinding module 2. While the piglet is gnawing on the two teeth grinding parts 21, it is also gnawing on the warning ring 22 located between the two teeth grinding parts 21. When the piglet bites through the blue safety layer 221, the red warning layer 222 is exposed, prompting the staff to replace it.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] This embodiment is the third embodiment of the teeth grinding device of this utility model. This embodiment is similar to embodiment two, except that, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixing module 3 is provided with a hook 34, which is rotatably connected to the fixing module 3. The base 1 is provided with a hook groove that cooperates with the hook 34, and the hook 34 is engaged in the hook groove. When installing the fixing module 3, the hook 34 is rotated to engage the hook 34 in the groove, thereby limiting the base 1 and connecting the fixing module 3 with the base 1.

[0040] It also includes a fixing screw. The side of the fixing module 3 has a screw hole, and the hook 34 has a fixing hole. The fixing screw passes through the fixing hole and is connected with the screw hole. Rotate the hook 34 until the hook 34 is engaged in the groove, and tighten the fixing screw to press the hook 34 tightly, restricting the rotation of the hook 34 and preventing the hook 34 from falling out of the groove on its own.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes an anti-slip buckle 35, with both the base 1 and the fixing module 3 abutting against the inner side of the anti-slip buckle 35. The anti-slip buckle 35 restricts the relative position of the base 1 and the fixing module 3, preventing relative sliding between the base 1 and the fixing module 3, thus making the installation of the fixing module 3 more stable.

[0042] In this embodiment, the anti-slip buckle 35 is wrapped around the base 1 and the fixed seat 31; the groove is formed on the top and a side wall of the base 1, and the side wall of the base 1 where the groove is located abuts against the anti-slip buckle 35; the anti-slip buckle 35 restricts the vertical movement of the base 1, and the groove and the anti-slip buckle 35 together restrict the horizontal movement of the base 1; the surface of the base 1 is provided with anti-slip texture to increase the friction coefficient between the base 1 and the fixed seat 31 and prevent relative sliding between the base 1 and the fixed seat 31.

[0043] The surface of the teething component 21 has transverse textures perpendicular to the piglet's biting direction. These transverse textures cater to the piglet's biting habits and enhance the teeth-grinding effect.

[0044] The working principle of the teeth grinding device in this embodiment is as follows: Two teeth grinding parts 21 are bonded to the warning ring 22. A connector 23 is inserted into the two first mounting holes and the inner ring of the warning ring 22, so that the connector 23 is fixedly connected to the teeth grinding parts 21 and the warning ring 22 respectively. The connector 23 is then inserted into the first mounting hole of the base 1 and fixed, completing the installation of the teeth grinding module 2. The hook 34 is rotated until it engages in the groove. The fixing screw is tightened to press the hook 34, restricting its rotation. The anti-slip strap 35 is wrapped around the base 1 and the fixing seat 31; the anti-slip strap 35 restricts the movement of the hook 34. The vertical movement of the base 1 is restricted by the groove and anti-slip buckle 35. The fixed seat 31 is moved so that the guardrail 20-25cm above the ground is in the arc-shaped through groove. The first arc arm 321 and the second arc arm are rotated so that the first buckle part and the second buckle part 331 are engaged, thereby installing the teeth grinding device on the guardrail. Piglets can grind their teeth by biting the teeth grinding piece 21. When the blue safety layer 221 of the warning ring 22 is bitten through, the red warning layer 222 is exposed, indicating to the staff that the teeth grinding piece 21 has been excessively worn or damaged and needs to be replaced in time.

[0045] In the specific implementation of the above embodiments, the technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the above technical features are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features is not contradictory, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
