Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cattle hoof cleaning, specifically a veterinary cattle hoof cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] The hooves are the foundation supporting the cow's body, and their health directly affects the cow's production performance.
[0003] In veterinary treatments, cleaning of cattle hooves is necessary. Existing hoof cleaning devices, such as the one described in patent publication number CN213603771U, allow workers to clean hooves simply by turning on a water pump and using a long or short gun. After cleaning, when medication needs to be applied, the regulating valve is opened, and the medication in the bottle is mixed in a venturi tube. The long or short gun is then used to apply the medication to the hooves. The concentration of the mixed medication is controlled by the regulating valve, and closing the valve controls the spraying of clean water from the cleaning gun to clean the hooves. This eliminates the need to add the medication to a water tank, allowing for separate water spraying and medication application, thus avoiding the need for medication preparation.
[0004] However, this device only performs a spraying function, which is not thorough and lacks practicality. Utility Model Content

[0023] Example
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A veterinary hoof cleaning device for cattle includes a water tank 1, a water supply pipe 2, a water pump 3, a spray head 4, a first handle 5, a connecting frame 6, a spherical sliding sleeve 7, a sliding rod 8, a waterproof cover 9, a second handle 10, a drive motor 11, a circular brush 12, and an outer movable sleeve 13. A moving mechanism is provided at the bottom of the water tank 1. The output end of the water tank 1 is connected to the input end of the spray head 4 via the water supply pipe 2. The water pump 3 is also installed on the water supply pipe 2. The tail end of the spray head 4 is connected to the inner side of the first handle 5. One outer end of the first handle 5 is connected to one side of the outer movable sleeve 13 via the connecting frame 6. The inner side of the outer movable sleeve 13 is movably connected to the outer side of the spherical sliding sleeve 7. The inner side of the spherical sliding sleeve 7 is slidably connected to the outer side of the sliding rod 8. The tail end of the sliding rod 8 is connected to the middle of the inner side of the second handle 10. The first end is connected to the middle of the outer end of the waterproof cover 9. The inner side of the waterproof cover 9 is connected to the drive motor 11. The output end of the drive motor 11 is connected to the middle of the inner side of the circular brush 12. The water tank 1 is filled with cleaning water. When in use, it is moved into place by the moving mechanism. The veterinarian holds the first handle 5 and makes the spray head 4 correspond to the cow's hoof. The water pump 3 drives the water in the water tank 1 to the spray head 4 through the water pipe 2 for cleaning. At the same time, the veterinarian holds the second handle 10 and makes the slide rod 8 slide in the ball sleeve 7. The ball sleeve 7 moves in the outer movable sleeve 13, so that the waterproof cover 9 protects the drive motor 11 and moves the drive motor 11 to the corresponding position. The drive motor 11 drives the circular brush 12 to rotate and further clean the surface of the cow's hoof.
[0025] It also includes an internal threaded cover 14, a dustproof net 15, and an external threaded opening 16. The top rear side of the water tank 1 is connected to the bottom end of the external threaded opening 16. The outer side of the external threaded opening 16 is detachably screwed to the inner side of the internal threaded cover 14. The internal threaded cover 14 is equipped with a dustproof net 15. Water can be injected into the water tank 1 through the external threaded opening 16, and the internal threaded cover 14 is screwed to the outside of the external threaded opening 16 for protection. The dustproof net 15 keeps the water tank dustproof and breathable, improving its practicality.
[0026] It also includes a connecting seat 17 and a card holder 18. The front side of the top of the water tank 1 is connected to the bottom of the card holder 18 via the connecting seat 17. The inner side of the card holder 18 is detachably attached to the outer side of the handle 5. With the connecting seat 17 fixed, the card holder 18 can be attached to the handle 5 for easy storage when not in use, thus improving convenience.
[0027] The moving mechanism includes a steering shaft 19, wheel boxes 20, rollers 21, and a platform 26. The water tank 1 and the water pump 3 are both fixed to the top of the platform 26. The four corners of the bottom of the platform 26 are rotatably connected to the top center of the wheel boxes 20 via a set of steering shafts 19. A set of rollers 21 are rotatably installed inside each set of wheel boxes 20. The bottom ends of the four sets of rollers 21 contact the ground and are constrained to roll on the ground by the wheel boxes 20. The steering shafts 19 also constrain the movement of the platform 26 connected to the device, thus improving convenience.
[0028] It also includes brake pads 22 and pedal pads 23. Each set of wheel boxes 20 has a set of brake pads 22 movably installed on the inner side. The outer side of the brake pads 22 is connected to the inner side of the pedal pads 23. When in position, the brake pads 22 can be moved by stepping on the pedal pads 23, which can act on the outer side of the rollers 21 to brake and improve stability.
[0029] It also includes a push handlebar frame 24 and a handlebar 25. The rear top of the platform 26 is connected to the bottom of the push handlebar frame 24, and the upper inner side of the push handlebar frame 24 is connected to the left and right sides of the handlebar 25. By holding the handlebar 25, the platform 26 can be moved under the connection of the push handlebar frame 24, which improves convenience.
[0030] In summary, a veterinary hoof cleaning device allows water to be injected into the water tank 1 through the external threaded port 16. An internal threaded cap 14 is screwed onto the outside of the external threaded port 16 for protection. A dustproof net 15 ensures dust protection and ventilation. During use, the device moves along the platform 26 by gripping the handle 25 and using the push handle frame 24. Four sets of rollers 21 contact the ground at their bottom ends and are restrained by wheel boxes 20. The device is also steered by a steering shaft 19, allowing the platform 26 to move. Once in position, stepping on the pedal 23 activates the brake pad 22, which brakes the outside of the rollers 21. The veterinarian... Hold the first handle 5 so that the water nozzle 4 is aligned with the cow's hoof. The water pump 3 will pump water from the water tank 1 through the water pipe 2 to the water nozzle 4 for cleaning. At the same time, hold the second handle 10 so that the slide bar 8 slides in the ball sleeve 7 and moves in the outer movable sleeve 13 through the ball sleeve 7. This allows the waterproof cover 9 to protect the drive motor 11 and moves the drive motor 11 to the appropriate position. The drive motor 11 then drives the circular brush 12 to rotate, further cleaning the surface of the cow's hoof. In addition, with the connecting seat 17 fixed, the first handle 5 can be secured by the clip 18 for easy storage when not in use, improving convenience.
[0031] The water pump 3 and drive motor 11 are commercially available devices known to those skilled in the art. We are simply using them here without making any structural or functional improvements, and we will not elaborate further here.
[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
