Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dairy cow nipple technology, specifically a dairy cow nipple cleaning and massage brush. Background Technology
[0002] In dairy farming, teat massage brushes have become an indispensable tool to ensure the health of dairy cows' teats and prevent teat diseases.
[0003] Many existing cow udder massage brushes are powered by electric motors or small pneumatic motors. Electric motors are relatively heavy, increasing the overall weight of the massage brush. Furthermore, because they are installed in a sealed housing, heat dissipation is ineffective during operation, easily leading to overheating and burnout of the motor over time. This not only affects the normal use of the massage brush, creating safety hazards, but also increases maintenance costs and operational risks. Some massage brushes do not have the small pneumatic motor installed perpendicular to the gearbox of the udder brush; instead, they require bevel gears to change the direction of force, necessitating additional accessories for installation and power transmission. This not only complicates the structure of the massage brush but also increases the overall weight of the pneumatic motor, further increasing the weight of the massage brush and the workload of the operator. Massage brushes typically use a button-operated dispensing method, requiring the operator to continuously apply force to the button, which can easily lead to fatigue. Moreover, releasing the button interrupts the dispensing, potentially affecting the effectiveness and evenness of the medication application to the udder, thus reducing operator efficiency. Therefore, a new type of cow udder cleaning massage brush is needed to meet these needs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dairy cow teat cleaning and massage brush to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

The second mounting hole 11 and the second threaded groove 12 are installed with multiple bolts. The brush head shell 10 is adapted to multiple brush bristle rods 16. The connecting shaft 15 is irregularly shaped. The brush bristle rods 16 have irregularly shaped grooves that match the connecting shaft 15. When the massage brush needs to be used, the massage brush is first assembled as a whole. The first mounting hole 3 and the first threaded groove 4 in the first handle shell 1 and the second handle shell 2 are installed with multiple bolts. The first handle shell 1 and the second handle shell 2 are then inserted into the slots of the gearbox 5 before installation. The brush head shell 10 at one end of the gearbox 5 is connected to the second mounting hole 11 and the second threaded groove 12 via multiple bolts, completing the overall assembly of the massage brush. The air pipe is installed on the connecting pipe 7, and the medicine pipe is connected to one end of the medicine pipe 9. During use, air is introduced through the air pipe and transmitted to the connecting pipe 7, driving the micro pneumatic motor 6 to rotate. The micro pneumatic motor 6 drives the small gear 13 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple large gears 14 to rotate. The connecting shaft 15 drives multiple brush rods 16 to rotate. The operator holds one end of the massage brush and cleans and massages the cow's udder through the opening of the brush head shell 10. The first handle shell 1 and the second handle shell 2 are relatively long, allowing for a single-handed, long-distance grip even when encountering newly calved cows that are prone to kicking, preventing injury. The massage brush is lightweight and easy to assemble and disassemble. Compared to traditional cleaning massage brushes, it is easier for operators to hold and use, reducing their workload and increasing their efficiency.
[0022] Example 2: Figure 2 and 3As shown, a distance sensor 8 is installed on the side of the first handle housing 1. A medicine tube 9 is installed at one end of the distance sensor 8. The other end of the medicine tube 9 extends out and is installed on the gearbox 5. When the distance sensor 8 senses that the distance between itself and the cow body has reached a suitable distance, it sends a signal to control the medicine tube to spray medicine. The medicine is sprayed onto the brush rod 16 through the medicine tube 9. There is no need for the operator to manually press the switch to spray medicine, which improves the operator's work efficiency. The other features are the same as in Example 1.
[0023] The working principle is as follows: When the massage brush needs to be used, the massage brush is first assembled. The first mounting hole 3 and the first threaded groove 4 in the first handle shell 1 and the second handle shell 2 are installed with multiple bolts. Then, the first handle shell 1 and the second handle shell 2 are inserted into the slot of the gearbox 5 before installation. The brush head shell 10 at one end of the gearbox 5 is connected to the second mounting hole 11 and the second threaded groove 12 by installing multiple bolts, thus completing the assembly of the massage brush. The air pipe is installed on the connecting pipe 7, and the medicine pipe is connected to one end of the medicine pipe 9. When in use, air is introduced through the air pipe and transmitted to the connecting pipe 7 to drive the micro pneumatic motor 6 to rotate. The micro pneumatic motor 6 drives the small gear 13 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple large gears 14 to rotate. The transmission of the connecting shaft 15 drives multiple brush rods 16 to rotate. When the distance sensor 8 detects that the distance between the brush and the cow's body has reached a suitable distance, it sends a signal to control the spraying of medicine through the medicine pipe 9. The medicine is sprayed onto the brush rods 16. The operator holds one end of the massage brush and cleans and massages the cow's udder through the opening of the brush head shell 10. The first handle shell 1 and the second handle shell 2 are relatively long, allowing for one-handed long-distance gripping even when encountering newly calved cows that are prone to kicking, thus avoiding being kicked by the cow. The massage brush is lightweight and easy to assemble and disassemble. Compared with traditional cleaning massage brushes, it is easier for operators to hold and use, reducing the operator's workload and improving the operator's work efficiency.
