Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cattle and sheep breeding technology, and specifically discloses a mosquito repellent device for cattle and sheep breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Cattle and sheep farming is an important component of my country's animal husbandry and occupies a key position in agricultural economic development. Large-scale, specialized cattle and sheep farming not only provides society with abundant meat, dairy products, and fur to meet daily consumer demand, but also drives the development of related industries such as feed processing and logistics, playing a significant role in ensuring food safety and promoting rural economic growth. However, insect infestations (such as mosquitoes and horseflies) are a common and troublesome problem in cattle and sheep farming. These insects not only bite and suck the blood of cattle and sheep, causing restlessness and reduced feed intake, affecting their growth, development, and production performance, but they can also transmit various pathogens (such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites), leading to diseases in cattle and sheep, increasing farming costs and the difficulty of disease prevention and control.

[0003] In existing technologies, there are many mosquito control methods for cattle and sheep farming, among which the most common is to spray diluted chemical agents (such as trichlorfon and amitraz) around the pens and in the areas where cattle and sheep move around. The advantage of this method is that it can quickly kill mosquitoes and significantly reduce mosquito density in a short period. However, this method has obvious limitations: firstly, chemical agents have a certain degree of toxicity, and the spraying process can easily contaminate the feed troughs and water sources of cattle and sheep, leading to the risk of poisoning if the animals accidentally ingest or come into contact with them, affecting the quality and safety of livestock products; secondly, the effect of chemical agents is short-lived, usually becoming ineffective after a few days, at which point mosquitoes can easily multiply and rebound, requiring farmers to spray frequently, increasing labor intensity.

[0004] Therefore, a mosquito repellent device for cattle and sheep farming is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model proposes a mosquito repellent device for cattle and sheep farming, which prevents contamination of cattle and sheep's feed troughs and drinking water sources, effectively avoids the risk of poisoning, and improves the quality and safety of livestock products; at the same time, it greatly extends the duration of mosquito repellency, reduces the frequency of operation by farmers, and reduces labor intensity.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a mosquito repellent device for cattle and sheep farming includes a base, a lower shell is provided above the base, an upper shell is provided on the upper side of the lower shell, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the lower shell and the top end of the inner wall of the upper shell, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the opposite end of the two fixing rods, a modified silicone adsorption ball is provided between the two limiting plates and fits against its inner wall, and multiple ventilation holes are provided through the outer walls of the lower shell and the upper shell.

[0007] An auxiliary opening and closing mechanism is provided between the upper shell and the lower shell. The auxiliary opening and closing mechanism includes a fixed plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower shell and a perforated plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper shell. A vertical rod passing through the interior of the perforated plate is rotatably connected to the upper side of the fixed plate through an embedded bearing. A disc is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical rod. A compression spring sleeved on the outer wall of the vertical rod is fixedly connected between the disc and the perforated plate. The auxiliary opening and closing mechanism also includes a positioning mechanism.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the mosquito repellent device for cattle and sheep breeding according to this utility model, the positioning mechanism includes a first connecting block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower shell and a second connecting block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper shell. The upper end of the first connecting block is provided with a positioning hole, and the lower end of the second connecting block is fixedly connected with a positioning rod inserted into the positioning hole.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the mosquito repellent device for cattle and sheep breeding according to this utility model, both of the limiting discs are mesh structures.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the mosquito repellent device for cattle and sheep breeding according to this utility model, the outer wall of the vertical rod is provided with a sliding groove, and a slider that is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the perforated plate is slidably connected inside the sliding groove.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the mosquito repellent device for cattle and sheep breeding according to this utility model, the base has an internal cavity, and a counterweight is disposed inside the cavity.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the mosquito repellent device for cattle and sheep breeding according to this utility model, a plurality of support rods evenly distributed along the circumference are fixedly connected between the lower shell and the base.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the mosquito repellent device for cattle and sheep breeding according to this utility model, the lower end of the positioning rod is fixedly connected to a conical head.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. Modified silica gel adsorption balls form a rich network of interconnected micropores through the addition of pore-forming agents. After pretreatment by soaking in a mixture of peppermint oil, citronella oil, and slow-release solvent, and then draining, their micropores effectively adsorb essential oils. During use, the adsorbed essential oils slowly evaporate through the micropores, and the evaporating mosquito-repellent scent diffuses through the vents, forming a mosquito-repellent barrier. Because natural essential oils are used, they do not contaminate cattle and sheep's feed troughs or water sources, effectively avoiding the risk of poisoning from contact with or accidental ingestion of chemical agents, and improving the quality and safety of livestock products.

[0016] 2. Thanks to the porous, slow-release structure of the modified silica gel adsorption balls, essential oils are released continuously and for a long time without the need for electricity-assisted evaporation. During installation, remove the sealing film, open the upper shell, and rotate it away from the lower shell. Place the adsorption ball into the limiting plate of the lower shell for support. Then rotate the upper shell back to its original position and close it, so that the upper and lower shells are in contact. The upper and lower limiting plates together fix the adsorption ball and provide protection. This design makes the mosquito-repelling effect of a single adsorption ball long-lasting, significantly extending the mosquito-repelling duration, reducing the frequency of operation for farmers, and lowering labor intensity.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4A mosquito repellent device for cattle and sheep farming includes a base 1, a lower shell 3 above the base 1, an upper shell 4 above the lower shell 3, a fixing rod 18 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the lower shell 3 and the top of the inner wall of the upper shell 4, a limiting plate 19 fixedly connected to the opposite end of the two fixing rods 18, a modified silicone adsorption ball 20 that fits against the inner wall of the two limiting plates 19 is arranged between the two limiting plates 19, and multiple ventilation holes 11 are opened through the outer wall of the lower shell 3 and the outer wall of the upper shell 4.

[0025] An auxiliary opening and closing mechanism is provided between the upper housing 4 and the lower housing 3. The auxiliary opening and closing mechanism includes a fixing plate 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower housing 3 and a perforated plate 8 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper housing 4. A vertical rod 7 passing through the interior of the perforated plate 8 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the fixing plate 5 through an embedded bearing 6. A disc 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical rod 7. A compression spring 10 sleeved on the outer wall of the vertical rod 7 is fixedly connected between the disc 9 and the perforated plate 8. The auxiliary opening and closing mechanism also includes a positioning mechanism.

[0026] In this embodiment: the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20 is modified by adding a pore-forming agent to regulate the internal pore structure and form a large number of interconnected micropores to enhance the adsorption and slow release capacity of essential oils; during pretreatment, the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20 is immersed in a mixture of peppermint oil, citronella oil and food-grade slow-release solvent to allow its micropores to fully adsorb the essential oil mixture. After adsorption is completed, the ball is removed, the surface liquid is drained, and a sealing film is wrapped around it to prevent the essential oils from evaporating prematurely and being wasted when not in use.

[0027] When installing the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20, first peel off the sealing film on the outer wall of the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20, and then open the upper shell 4 and the lower shell 3 through the auxiliary opening and closing mechanism. During operation, pull the upper shell 4 upward, which will drive the perforated plate 8 to move upward and squeeze the compression spring 10. When it rises to a certain extent, the positioning rod 14 disengages from the positioning hole 15. At this time, the upper shell 4, the perforated plate 8, and the vertical rod 7 rotate with the internal rotation of the bearing 6, so that the upper shell 4 moves to a position away from the lower shell 3. Then place the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20 inside the limiting plate 19 in the lower shell 3 to support the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20. Then rotate the upper shell 4 in the opposite direction around the vertical rod 7 so that the upper shell 4 is directly above the lower shell 3. Then release the tension on the upper shell 4, and under the action of the elastic force of the compression spring 10, push the perforated plate 8 and the upper shell 4 downward until the positioning rod 14 is inserted into the interior of the positioning hole 15 and the upper shell 4 abuts against the lower shell 3. The upper limiting plate 19 is attached to the outer wall of the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20. The two limiting plates 19 limit the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20 to ensure that it does not shake in the device. The upper shell 4 and the lower shell 3 cooperate with each other to provide protection for the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20.

[0028] During use, the essential oil mixture adsorbed by the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20 slowly evaporates through its micropores; the evaporated mosquito-repellent odor diffuses into the surrounding environment through multiple vents 11 on the outer walls of the lower shell 3 and the upper shell 4, forming a mosquito-repellent barrier. Because essential oils are used for repellency, it does not contaminate the feed troughs or water sources of cattle and sheep, effectively avoiding the risk of poisoning caused by contact with or accidental ingestion of chemical agents, and improving the quality and safety of livestock products.

[0029] Thanks to the porous slow-release structure of the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20, the mosquito repellency of a single adsorption ball is long-lasting, does not require electric power to evaporate, and can be widely used in various environments, greatly extending the mosquito repellency duration, reducing the frequency of operation for farmers, and reducing labor intensity.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the positioning mechanism includes a first connecting block 12 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower housing 3 and a second connecting block 13 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper housing 4. The upper end of the first connecting block 12 is provided with a positioning hole 15, and the lower end of the second connecting block 13 is fixedly connected with a positioning rod 14 inserted into the positioning hole 15.

[0031] In this embodiment: when the positioning rod 14 at the lower end of the second connecting block 13 is inserted into the positioning hole 15 of the first connecting block 12, the upper housing 4 and the lower housing 3 are positioned by the cooperation of the positioning rod 14 and the positioning hole 15, so as to prevent them from shifting to each other.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, both limiting disks 19 have a mesh structure.

[0033] In this embodiment: the two limiting discs 19 adopt a mesh structure, which will not hinder the diffusion of the mosquito repellent odor emitted by the modified silicone adsorption ball 20 through the mesh, ensuring that the odor can be smoothly transmitted to the ventilation holes 11 of the lower shell 3 and the upper shell 4.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the vertical rod 7 is provided with a sliding groove, and a slider that is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the perforated plate 8 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove.

[0035] In this embodiment, the groove on the outer wall of the vertical rod 7 is slidably connected to the slider on the inner wall of the perforated plate 8, thereby preventing the vertical rod 7 and the perforated plate 8 from rotating relative to each other, and ensuring that the upper housing 4, the perforated plate 8 and the vertical rod 7 rotate simultaneously with the inner ring of the bearing 6.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the base 1 has a cavity 16 inside, and a counterweight 17 is arranged inside the cavity 16.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cavity 16 inside the base 1 is used to place the counterweight 17. The counterweight 17 increases the overall weight of the base 1 and improves the stability during use.

[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a plurality of support rods 2 are fixedly connected between the lower shell 3 and the base 1, which are evenly distributed along the circumference.

[0039] In this embodiment, the lower housing 3 is supported and fixed by setting multiple support rods 2.

[0040] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a tapered head is fixedly connected to the lower end of the positioning rod 14.

[0041] In this embodiment, the tapered head at the lower end of the positioning rod 14 has a guiding function. When the upper housing 4 and the lower housing 3 are closed, the positioning rod 14 is inserted into the positioning hole 15 more smoothly through the guidance of the tapered surface, reducing the difficulty of alignment during positioning.

[0042] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The modified silica gel adsorption ball 20 is formed by adding a pore-forming agent to regulate the internal pore structure, thereby forming a large number of interconnected micropores to enhance the adsorption and slow release capacity of essential oils. During the pretreatment, the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20 is immersed in a mixture of peppermint oil, citronella oil and food-grade slow-release solvent, so that its micropores can fully adsorb the essential oil mixture. After the adsorption is completed, the ball is taken out and the surface liquid is drained. A sealing film is then wrapped around the ball to prevent the essential oil from evaporating prematurely and being wasted when not in use.

[0043] When installing the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20, first tear off the sealing film on the outer wall of the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20, and then open the upper shell 4 and the lower shell 3 through the auxiliary opening and closing mechanism. During operation, pull the upper shell 4 upward, and the upper shell 4 will drive the perforated plate 8 to move upward and squeeze the compression spring 10. When it rises to a certain extent, the positioning rod 14 will disengage from the positioning hole 15. At this time, the upper shell 4, the perforated plate 8 and the vertical rod 7 will rotate with the internal rotation of the bearing 6, so that the upper shell 4 moves to a position far away from the lower shell 3. Then place the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20 inside the limiting plate 19 in the lower shell 3 to support the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20. Then rotate the upper shell 4 in the opposite direction around the vertical rod 7 so that the upper shell 4 is directly above the lower shell 3. At this time, the positioning rod 14 is aligned with the positioning hole 15. Then, relax the tension on the upper housing 4, and under the action of the spring force of the compressed spring 10, push the perforated plate 8 and the upper housing 4 downward until the positioning rod 14 is inserted into the interior of the positioning hole 15, and the upper housing 4 abuts against the lower housing 3. At this time, the upper limiting plate 19 is in contact with the outer wall of the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20. The two limiting plates 19 limit the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20 to ensure that it does not shake in the device, and the cooperation between the upper housing 4 and the lower housing 3 provides a protective effect for the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20.

[0044] During use, the essential oil mixture adsorbed by the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20 slowly evaporates through its micropores; the evaporated mosquito-repellent odor diffuses into the surrounding environment through multiple vents 11 on the outer walls of the lower shell 3 and the upper shell 4, forming a mosquito-repellent barrier. Because essential oils are used for repellency, it does not contaminate the feed troughs or water sources of cattle and sheep, effectively avoiding the risk of poisoning caused by contact with or accidental ingestion of chemical agents, and improving the quality and safety of livestock products.

[0045] Thanks to the porous slow-release structure of the modified silica gel adsorption ball 20, the mosquito repellency of a single adsorption ball is long-lasting, does not require electric power to evaporate, and can be widely used in various environments, greatly extending the mosquito repellency duration, reducing the frequency of operation for farmers, and reducing labor intensity.
