Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically a sheep leg restraint device. Background Technology

[0002] A lamb leg restraint is a specially designed tool used to temporarily immobilize a lamb's leg to prevent it from struggling, getting injured, or harming people during handling. It can be used to immobilize a single leg or multiple legs simultaneously, with the aim of achieving effective control without harming the animal.

[0003] First, when sheep struggle, they are prone to twisting their entire body, rendering leg restraints ineffective and posing a high operational risk, especially increasing the risk of kicking injury to the operator.

[0004] Secondly, when binding the sheep's legs, it is necessary to manually move or drive the sheep into the device, which is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy for the sheep to refuse to enter, wasting a lot of time.

[0005] Finally, if the equipment can only be used on sheep of a specific size, it will have poor applicability, and if it is not tied securely or is too tight, it may injure the leg tissue, leading to lameness and stress response. Summary of the Invention

[0028] 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.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5 A lamb leg restraint device includes a main body 1, an adjustment mechanism, a locking mechanism, and a positioning mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes a movable plate 2 and a rotating rod 3. The movable plate 2 is mounted on the main body 1 and slidably connected to the main body 1. The rotating rod 3 is mounted inside the movable plate 2 and rotatably connected to the movable plate 2. The movable plate 2 is equipped with an adjustment component 4, which is respectively connected to the rotating rod 3 and slidably connected to the movable plate 2. The locking mechanism includes a closing door 5 and a fixing component 6. The closing door 5 is mounted on the main body 1 and rotatably connected to the main body 1. The fixing component 6 is mounted on the closing door 5 and slidably connected to the closing door 5. A first spring 7 is provided on the fixing component 6, and the first spring 7 is fixedly connected to the closing door 5.

[0031] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a movable plate 2 and a rotating rod 3. In use, the sheep can be placed inside the main body 1 first, and the movable plate 2 can be adjusted according to the size of the sheep. Then, the rotating rod 3 installed on the movable plate 2 is rotated, so that the screw 13 on the rotating rod 3 engages with the threaded hole 14 on the adjusting member 4, allowing the adjusting member 4 to disengage from the first locking hole 11, and the movable plate 2 slides in the movable groove 12 of the main body 1, thereby adjusting the position of the movable plate 2. Then, the rotating rod 3 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the adjusting member 4 engages with the first locking hole 11 of the main body 1, thereby fixing the position of the movable plate 2 and restricting the position of the sheep.

[0032] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a closing door 5 and a fixing member 6. In use, the fixing member 6 installed on the closing door 5 is pulled directly, and the fixing member 6 is pulled so that the fixing member 6 can slide in the closing door 5 and compress the second spring 10 at the same time. At this time, the fixing member 6 also disengages from the second locking hole 15 on the closing door 5. At this time, the closing door 5 can be opened, so that the sheep can be put into the body 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism includes a sliding rod 8 and a positioning member 9. After the sheep is clamped by the moving plate 2, the sliding rod 8 installed on the moving plate 2 can be moved. At this time, the positioning member 9 can be pulled directly so that the positioning member 9 can be disengaged from the third locking hole 20, and the sliding rod 8 can slide in the first sliding groove 16. The roller 17 on the sliding rod 8 slides in the second sliding groove 18. After the position of the sliding rod 8 is determined, the positioning member 9 is released so that the position of the sliding rod 8 is fixed. Then, the nylon strap 19 can be extended to wrap around the sheep leg and complete the fixation of the sheep leg.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] In summary, during use, firstly, pull the fixing member 6 installed on the closed door 5 directly. Pulling the fixing member 6 allows it to slide within the closed door 5 while compressing the second spring 10. At this point, the fixing member 6 disengages from the second locking hole 15 on the closed door 5, allowing the closed door 5 to be opened and the sheep to be placed inside the main body 1. Then, place the sheep inside the main body 1 and adjust the moving plate 2 according to the sheep's size. Rotate the rotating rod 3 installed on the moving plate 2, causing the screw 13 on the rotating rod 3 to engage with the threaded hole 14 on the adjusting member 4. This disengages the adjusting member 4 from the first locking hole 11, allowing the moving plate 2 to slide within the moving groove 12 of the main body 1. The position of the movable plate 2 is adjusted, and then the rotating rod 3 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the adjusting part 4 engages with the first locking hole 11 of the main body 1, thereby fixing the position of the movable plate 2 and restricting the position of the sheep. After the sheep is clamped by the movable plate 2, the sliding rod 8 installed on the movable plate 2 can be moved. At this time, the positioning part 9 can be pulled directly, so that the positioning part 9 can disengage from the third locking hole 20, and the sliding rod 8 can slide in the first sliding groove 16. The roller 17 on the sliding rod 8 slides in the second sliding groove 18. After the position of the sliding rod 8 is determined, the positioning part 9 is released, so that the position of the sliding rod 8 is fixed. Then the nylon strap 19 can be extended to wrap around the sheep leg, thus completing the fixation of the sheep leg.

[0036] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
