AI Technical Summary
Dairy cows are at high risk of slipping during the breeding process, especially postpartum cows. Due to the sharp drop in calcium, their muscles become weak, making them prone to falling, causing leg injuries and affecting milk production and reproductive performance. Current technology lacks effective anti-fall devices.
A cow leg protection and anti-fall device was designed, including a fixing strap, an adjustment box, a buckle, a vibration sensor, and a flexible protective pad. The fixing strap secures the cow's leg, the adjustment box adjusts the size, and the vibration sensor monitors abnormal conditions and issues an alarm to prevent falls.
It effectively prevents dairy cows from falling, adapts to different body sizes, monitors and alarms for abnormalities, reduces leg injuries, and improves milk production and reproductive performance.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dairy farming technology, and more specifically to a protective device for dairy cow legs against falls. Background Technology
[0002] In dairy farming, feces, urine, mud, stagnant water, and frozen ground can all significantly increase the risk of cows slipping and falling. Additionally, postpartum cows experience a sharp drop in calcium levels, leading to muscle weakness and making it difficult for them to stand.
[0003] A cow falling can cause not only direct damage to its legs and hooves (such as fractures, ligament sprains, and hoof cracks), but also a decrease in milk production, reduced reproductive performance, increased treatment costs, and even forced culling.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a leg protection and anti-fall device for dairy cows, especially postpartum dairy cows, to protect their legs and prevent them from falling is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a cow leg protection and anti-fall device that can protect the legs of dairy cows, especially postpartum dairy cows, to prevent them from falling.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A cow leg protection and anti-fall device includes:
[0008] A fixing strap is provided, wherein the fixing strap is arranged in a closed manner, one end of the fixing strap is provided with an adjustment box, the other end of the fixing strap extends into the adjustment box, and the edge of the end of the fixing strap extending into the adjustment box is provided with a bevel.
[0009] The adjustment box is provided with a through hole, and two buckles are arranged opposite each other on the side of the through hole near the bracket. The two buckles are rotatably arranged at the inlet and outlet ends of the through hole via a rotating shaft. Both buckles are in contact with the fixing belt. The adjustment box is provided with an adjustment member, which is horizontally movable at the end of the adjustment box away from the fixing belt. The adjustment member is in contact with the buckles.
[0010] Furthermore, a flexible protective pad is provided at one end of the fixing belt adjustment box.
[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment box is equipped with a vibration sensor, which has an alarm function.
[0012] Furthermore, a torsion spring and a positioning pin are provided inside the rotating shaft to achieve automatic reset so that the buckle faces the fixing belt, and the end of the buckle that contacts the fixing belt is provided with several protrusions.
[0013] Furthermore, an adhesive layer is provided at the end of the fixing strap away from the adjustment box.
[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model discloses a cow leg protection and anti-fall device. By setting a fixing strap, it can be fixed to the cow's leg, which can protect the cow's leg, especially the postpartum cow, and prevent it from falling. By setting an adjustment box, the size of the fixing strap can be adjusted, which has a size adjustment function to adapt to the legs of cows of different sizes. By setting a vibration sensor, it has a step counting function to monitor the cow's movement status and can set up an alarm to remind and deal with abnormal situations as soon as possible.

[0021] 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.
[0022] See Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses a cow leg protection and anti-fall device, comprising:
[0023] A fixing strap 1 is provided, which is arranged in a closed manner. One end of the fixing strap 1 is provided with an adjustment box 2, and the other end of the fixing strap 1 extends into the adjustment box 2. The edge of the end of the fixing strap 1 that extends into the adjustment box 2 is provided with a bevel. By setting the fixing strap 1, it can be fixed to the legs of dairy cows, which can protect the legs of dairy cows, especially postpartum dairy cows, and prevent them from falling. The beveled edge of one end of the fixing strap 1 makes it easy to insert the fixing strap 1 into the adjustment box 2.
[0024] The adjustment box 2 has a through hole, and two buckles 3 are arranged opposite each other on the side of the cow leg 7 near the through hole. The two buckles 3 are rotatably set at the inlet and outlet ends of the through hole via a rotating shaft. Both buckles 3 are in contact with the fixing strap 1. The adjustment box 2 is provided with an adjustment component 4, which is horizontally movable at the end of the adjustment box 2 away from the fixing strap 1. The adjustment component 4 is in contact with the buckles 3. By setting the adjustment box 2, the buckles 3 lock and limit the fixing strap 1 in the adjustment box 2, thereby limiting the size of the fixing strap 1. When it is necessary to adjust the size of the fixing strap 1, the adjustment component 4 is moved to move the buckles 3. Rotating the buckles 3 will no longer lock and limit the fixing strap 1. The size of the fixing strap 1 can be adjusted, and it has a size adjustment function to adapt to cow legs 7 of different body sizes.
[0025] In this embodiment, the fixing strap 1 is provided with a flexible protective pad 5 at one end of the adjustment box 2; the flexible protective pad 5 assists the fixing strap 1 in protecting the legs of dairy cows, especially postpartum dairy cows, to prevent them from falling.
[0026] In this embodiment, the adjustment box 2 is equipped with a vibration sensor 6, which has an alarm function; by setting the vibration sensor 6 to have a step counting function, the movement status of the cow can be monitored, and an alarm can be triggered in case of abnormality so that it can be dealt with as soon as possible.
[0027] In this embodiment, a torsion spring and a positioning pin are provided inside the rotating shaft to achieve automatic reset so that the buckle 3 faces the fixing belt 1. The end of the buckle 3 that contacts the fixing belt 1 is provided with several protrusions; so that the fixing belt 1 can always be locked and fixed when the buckle 3 is not adjusted, and it has a reset function.
[0028] In this embodiment, the end of the fixing strap 1 away from the adjustment box 2 is provided with an adhesive layer, so that the fixing strap 1 passing through the adjustment box 2 can be fixed.
[0029] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. For the apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the method section.
