Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quarantine and inspection sampling, specifically to a restraint device used to assist in blood sampling during the collection of blood samples in sheep quarantine and inspection work. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, sheep diseases have become increasingly prevalent, with foot-and-mouth disease, peste des petits ruminants (PPR), and clostridial infection posing a growing threat to sheep farming. Zoonotic diseases such as brucellosis, anthrax, and tuberculosis are also frequently occurring. Among the measures and methods for controlling animal and zoonotic diseases, blood sampling for laboratory monitoring is a highly effective approach. This allows for timely understanding of disease incubation and occurrence, enabling prompt detection and decisive action or preventative measures to avoid large-scale outbreaks that could cause property damage and public health emergencies. Blood sampling for quarantine monitoring fully leverages the early warning system for animal diseases, allowing for timely understanding of the actual situation of diseases and outbreaks. Combined with existing and advanced disease prevention and monitoring methods, and utilizing more advanced monitoring tools and equipment, close attention to disease occurrence can prevent large-scale outbreaks.

[0003] In actual sheep blood sampling, the jugular vein method is generally used because the jugular vein is large, easy to extract, and yields a large amount of blood, thus it is widely used in livestock production. Traditional Method 1: One person lays the sheep down, with its right side on the ground, lifting and bending its head backward. This not only allows the sheep to lie quietly on its side but also fully exposes the right jugular groove. Another person holds the sheep's limbs to prevent movement. Traditional Method 2: One person straddles the sheep, clamping its chest with their legs, grasping its horns with one hand and supporting its chin with the other. Alternatively, one person can straddle the sheep's shoulders, forcefully clamping its neck and shoulders with their legs, while simultaneously holding its horns or ears tightly with both hands. The person collecting the blood quickly locates the jugular groove in the middle third of the neck and parts the wool with their fingers. Hold the blood collection device in your right hand and apply pressure with your left thumb to obstruct venous blood return, causing the vein to bulge. Use your right index finger to tap the skin to locate the highest point of the bulge. Hold the needle with your thumb and index finger, and insert it upwards along the jugular vein at a 30-45 degree angle to the neck. When the needle enters the vein, you will feel the resistance suddenly disappear, and blood will flow directly into the collection device. Then, slowly draw blood. If the needle deviates from the vein (no blood return is observed), slightly withdraw the needle or pull it under the skin, and reinsert it after identifying the vein's course. After blood collection, remove the needle and apply pressure to the collection site with an alcohol swab for a few moments to complete the sampling.

[0004] Because sheep are naturally timid, they are prone to excessive struggle during sampling due to instinctive reactions and stress. If the person responsible for restraining them doesn't cooperate well, the sampling needle may be difficult to insert or may fall out. This is especially true when sampling large, strong sheep or rams. The pain and anger from restraint and needle insertion can cause the sheep to struggle violently, leading to failed restraint, bulging of the sheep's jugular vein, insufficient blood sample, or needle punctures or scratches on the person collecting the blood, increasing the risk of disease infection. Furthermore, the person restraining the sheep may even be injured or maimed by the sheep.

[0005] Therefore, in the actual work of sheep quarantine and monitoring, there is an urgent need for a restraint device that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to operate, low in cost, easy to carry, does not require the assistance of outsiders to fix it, and can also protect the sampler from being accidentally injured.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, a restraining device for collecting blood samples during sheep quarantine and inspection includes an upper support 1 and a lower support 2. The upper support 1 is supported by four height-adjustable support legs 8. The lower support 2 is connected to the upper support 1 at both ends via lifting rods 3, allowing it to move up and down. A first head restraint bracket 9 and a second head restraint bracket 10 are arranged parallel to each other at one end of the lower support 2. The first head restraint bracket 9 and the second head restraint bracket 10 are connected at the top by a head support cloth bag 11. Two telescopic rings 12 are also provided on the outer side of the top of the head support cloth bag 11 and the first head restraint bracket 9 and the second head restraint bracket 10. A cloth bag 13 is also provided on the lower support 2.

[0044] The lower support 2 is composed of two lower cross frames 21 and two lower end frames 22 connected and fixed in sequence, and the first head fixation bracket 9 and the second head fixation bracket 10 are disposed on one of the lower end frames 22.

[0045] The first head fixation bracket 9 and the second head fixation bracket 10 are respectively provided with fixation connecting rings 91 at their ends, and are installed on the lower end frame 22 through the fixation connecting rings 91. This ensures that the first head fixation bracket 9 and the second head fixation bracket 10 can be fixed to the end of the lower frame 2 and can move left and right.

[0046] The lower end bracket 22 is a polygonal rod, and the retainer connecting ring 91 has a polygonal hole with the same cross-sectional shape as the polygonal rod. This ensures that the first head retainer bracket 9 and the second head retainer bracket 10 can be fixed to the end of the lower bracket 2, and can move left and right without tipping over.

[0047] The cloth bag 13 is provided with hooks on both sides and is hung on the lower crossbars 21 on both sides of the lower support 2.

[0048] The first head fixation bracket 9 and the second head fixation bracket 10 are respectively provided with a fixation main rod 90. One end of the fixation main rod 90 is provided with a fixation connecting ring 91, and the other end of the fixation 90 is provided with a fixation top rod 92. The fixation main rod 90 and / or the fixation top rod 92 are telescopic rods.

[0049] A crank handle 6 is mounted on the upper support 1 via a bearing device, and a gear 4 is provided on the crank handle 6; a rack is provided on the lifting rod 3, and the rack meshes with the gear 4; a crank handle 5 is rotatably connected to one end of the crank handle 6.

[0050] The upper support 1 is provided with a guide tube 31 at its top. The top of the lifting rod 3 is movably disposed in the guide tube 31. The hole left on the lifting rod 3 can be aligned with the hole left on the guide tube 31 and then fixed with a pin to prevent the upper support 1 from moving down.

[0051] The top of the lifting rod 3 is also provided with an anti-detachment device 32 to prevent the lifting rod 3 from falling out of the guide tube 31.

[0052] Each of the support legs 8 is equipped with a buckle 7 that can adjust the height of the support.

[0053] According to this application, a restraining device for collecting blood samples during sheep quarantine inspection is made of hard stainless steel pipe and consists of two layers of supports. The upper support 1 is supported by four support legs 8, each with a buckle 7 for adjusting the height of the support. The lower support 2 is connected to the upper support 1 by a lifting rod 3. A gear 4 is located at the connection between the lifting rod 3 and the upper support. Under the combined action of a crank handle 5 and a crank linkage 6, the lifting rod 3 can move up and down, thereby moving the lower support 2 up and down. At one end of the lower support 2, there are two head-fixing supports 9 and 10 that can move left and right and are extendable in length. These two supports are connected at the top by a head-supporting cloth bag 11. Two telescopic rings 12 are also provided to fix the head to the telescopic cloth bag according to the size of the sheep's head, preventing it from moving. The two telescopic rings 12 can be elastic rings with elasticity, such as rubber rings or PVC rings. The telescopic rod described in this application can be a telescopic rod of existing technology, which is an adjustable rod. This type of rod has a fixing screw at the connection point; loosening it slightly allows for extension and retraction, while tightening it secures it. Also known as a telescopic rod, the telescopic rod extends and retracts through a telescopic component, which typically consists of two or more sliding parts with a certain gap between them, allowing them to slide relative to each other. The support leg 8 described in this application can also adopt the aforementioned telescopic rod or telescopic tie rod structure. The anti-detachment device 32 is an anti-detachment plate or anti-detachment rod connected to the top of the lifting rod 3 and having a diameter or length greater than the diameter of the guide tube 31. The guide tube 31 has a partial opening so that the gear 4 can mesh with the rack provided on the outer wall of the lifting rod 3 inside the guide tube 31.

[0054] According to this application, a restraint device for collecting blood samples for sheep quarantine inspection is implemented by first adjusting the buckles 7 on the four support legs 8 of the restraint tool according to the size of the sheep to determine the height of the restraint tool. The sheep that needs to be blooded is led to the lower support 2 of the restraint tool, and the sheep's abdomen is covered with a cloth bag 13 and hung on the horizontal frame on both sides of the lower support. Then, the crank handle 5 drives the crank handle connecting rod 6, and the rotation of the gear 4 drives the lower support 2 to lift the sheep so that its limbs are off the ground. When the lifting rod 3 corresponds to the hole on the guide tube 31, a pin is inserted to prevent slippage. The top is relatively movable in the guide tube.

[0055] Then, adjust the lengths of the left and right head restraint brackets 9 and 10 according to the size and length of the sheep's head and neck, place the sheep's head on the head support cloth 11, and fix the sheep's head in place with the two telescopic rings 12 according to the size of the sheep's head. At this point, the sheep's head and neck are fixed, and its limbs are suspended in the air. Even if the sheep struggles violently due to stress, it will not affect the movement or shaking of the blood collection site on the neck because there is no point of leverage. Thus, the blood collector can calmly collect blood.

[0056] According to this application, a restraining device for collecting blood samples in sheep quarantine inspection has the following advantages: Compared with traditional sampling methods, it can restrain the sheep that need to be sampled for blood collection on the device. Because the sheep is suspended in the air and has no point of leverage, and its head and neck are firmly restrained and cannot move, it can prevent the needle from being difficult to penetrate or slipping out after penetration due to the sheep's violent kicking and shaking in response to stress. It avoids the situation where the sheep's jugular vein bulges and the sample volume is insufficient, requiring repeated blood collection, or the needle pricking the sampling personnel due to violent shaking and thus infecting the sampling personnel, or the sampling personnel being injured or disabled due to the sheep being sampled being strong and attacking the restraining or sampling personnel under stress. In addition, using this utility model tool, one person can complete the sampling work by themselves, reducing the number of restraining personnel, reducing administrative costs, and improving work efficiency.

[0057] The restraint device for collecting blood samples in sheep quarantine inspection according to this application is characterized by its reasonable design, robust durability, simple structure, convenient operation, low cost, easy portability, elimination of the need for additional personnel for restraint, and protection of the sampler from accidental injury. The application of this utility model tool achieves rapid, accurate, and efficient blood sampling from sheep, while maximizing the protection of the sampler's personal safety.

[0058] The present invention has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of ​​the present invention. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0059] Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that this utility model is implementable. Of course, the situations listed above are merely examples, and this utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that other modifications or simplifications of the technical solutions of this utility model can be appropriately applied to this utility model and should be included within the scope of this utility model.
