[0002] Livestock reproductive technology focuses on improving the efficiency and quality of livestock reproduction through various scientific methods, encompassing research on livestock reproductive physiology, development and application of reproductive technologies. The development and application of technologies such as artificial insemination and embryo transfer have laid the foundation for optimizing livestock breeds and improving the economic benefits of animal husbandry. Bovine frozen semen testing is a crucial part of the livestock reproductive process, affecting the control of frozen semen quality and subsequent reproductive success rates.
[0003] A multi-functional operating table for bovine frozen semen testing is a device specifically designed for the bovine frozen semen testing process. It integrates multiple functions to meet a range of needs, including sample processing, temperature control, and testing operations.
[0004] In existing technologies, the preheating and cutting of some bovine semen tubes require separate operations and manual sample transfer, which not only leads to process interruptions and increases time consumption by more than 40%, but also causes temperature fluctuations that affect sperm motility due to multiple transfers. This makes it impossible to achieve integrated and coordinated cutting and preheating, resulting in low detection efficiency. To address these issues, a multi-functional operating table for bovine frozen semen testing is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a multi-functional operating table for bovine frozen semen testing rooms, which aims to improve the existing technology where the preheating and cutting of some bovine semen tubes are carried out in separate steps, requiring manual transfer, which leads to process interruption, increases time consumption by more than 40%, and multiple transfers are prone to causing temperature fluctuations that affect sperm motility, making it impossible to integrate and coordinate, resulting in low efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A multifunctional operating table for a bovine frozen semen testing room includes a tabletop. A drive assembly is installed on the top left side of the tabletop. A processing box is fixedly connected to the top of the tabletop. An inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the top left side of the processing box. Heating plates are installed on both the front and rear sides of the interior of the processing box. A pulley is rotatably connected to the inner right side of the processing box. A belt is fitted around the drive assembly and the pulley. Two rotating columns are rotatably connected inside the processing box. The rotating column on the right side is fixedly connected to the pulley. A rubber belt is fitted around the two rotating columns. A top ring is fixedly connected to the top of the rubber belt. Multiple hollow columns are fixedly connected to the outside of the rubber belt. The interior of the hollow columns is filled with insulation cotton. A microscope is installed on the top right side of the tabletop. As a further description of the above technical solution: The drive assembly includes a motor, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top left side of the table, and the output end of which is fixedly connected to a main pulley. The inner wall of the belt is sleeved on the outside of the main pulley and the driven pulley. As a further description of the above technical solution: The top end of the main pulley is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, the other end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a striking hammer, and a support plate is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft. As a further description of the above technical solution: A mounting block is fixedly connected to the top of the processing box, and a glue-coated blade head is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting block. As a further description of the above technical solution: The outer end of the hammer contacts the outside of the feed pipe, and one side of the support plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the processing box. As a further description of the above technical solution: The through-slot inside the feed tube is a conical structure with a larger upper opening and a smaller lower opening, and the inner diameter at the smaller opening is 0.5-1mm larger than the outer diameter of the semen tube. As a further description of the above technical solution: The outer side of the rubber belt is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing box, and the outer side of the top ring is also rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing box. As a further description of the above technical solution: The horizontal height of the sperm tube opening inside the insulation cotton is 2-3mm lower than the top surface of the top ring.
[0007] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, the synchronous movement of the bovine semen tube within the hollow column is achieved through rubber belt transmission, so that the constant temperature preheating of the bovine semen tube at 37±1℃ (5-8 minutes) by the heating plate and the tube head cutting operation of the coated blade form a continuous process. The activity awakening and opening process can be completed without manual sample transfer, which reduces the time consumption of the traditional step-by-step operation by more than 40%, realizes the integration of tube head cutting and preheating, and significantly improves the detection efficiency.
[0008] 2. In this utility model, the motor-driven hammer periodically impacts the outside of the conical feed tube. Combined with the feed tube's structural design of being larger at the top and smaller at the bottom (the inner diameter of the smaller opening is 0.5-1mm larger than the outer diameter of the semen tube), the electrostatic adsorption and adhesion between the semen tubes are effectively broken through elastic vibration, ensuring orderly feeding of individual tubes, avoiding downtime for cleaning due to blockage, reducing the frequency of manual intervention, and ensuring the continuity of the testing process.

[0011] 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.
[0012] Reference Figures 1 to 8This utility model provides an embodiment of a multifunctional operating table for a bovine frozen semen testing room, including a tabletop 1, which serves as the basic support structure for the entire operating table and provides an installation platform for various components. A drive assembly is installed on the top left side of the tabletop 1 to provide power for the equipment's operation. The drive assembly includes a motor 2, providing intermittent rotational power. The bottom end of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the tabletop 1 for stable installation. A main pulley 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2 to transmit the power generated by the motor. A rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the main pulley 3 to transmit the rotational motion of the main pulley. A striking hammer 5, made of silicone material, is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 4 to periodically impact the outside of the feed tube 8, creating elastic vibration. A support plate 6 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 4 to support it and ensure stable rotation. A processing box 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the tabletop 1, forming a closed processing space for centralized preheating and cutting of bovine semen tubes. One side of the support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the left side of the processing box 7, thereby fixing the support plate 6 to the processing box 7 and enhancing the overall structure.
[0013] A feed pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the top left of the processing box 7, allowing semen tubes to enter the equipment. The feed pipe 8 has a tapered structure with a larger upper opening and a smaller lower opening, with the inner diameter of the smaller opening being 0.5-1mm larger than the outer diameter of the semen tube, ensuring that only one semen tube passes through at a time. The outer end of the striking hammer 5 contacts the outside of the feed pipe 8, causing it to vibrate and preventing the semen tubes from clogging. Heating plates 9 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the processing box 7 to generate heat and maintain the ambient temperature at 37±1℃ (accuracy ±0.5℃), providing a preheating environment for the semen tubes. A driven pulley 10 is rotatably connected to the right side of the inner wall of the processing box 7, receiving and rotating the transmitted power. A belt 11 is fitted around the drive assembly and the driven pulley 10 to transmit power. The inner wall of the belt 11 is fitted around the main pulley 3 and the driven pulley 10 to ensure stable power transmission. Two rotating columns 12 are rotatably connected inside the processing box 7. The rotating column 12 located on the right side is fixedly connected to the pulley 10, jointly supporting the subsequent transmission components. Rubber belts 13 are fitted around the outside of the two rotating columns 12, moving with the rotation of the columns 12 to transport the semen tube. The outer side of the rubber belt 13 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing box 7 to ensure the stability of the rubber belt 13 during rotation. A top ring 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the rubber belt 13. This top ring 14 ensures that when the hollow column 15 is not directly below the current feed pipe 8, it will block the opening, preventing the semen tube from falling. The outer side of the top ring 14 is also rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing box 7, ensuring that the top ring 14 rotates synchronously and stably with the rubber belt 13.
[0014] Multiple hollow columns 15 are externally fixed to the rubber band 13 for placing the semen tube and providing initial positioning. The hollow columns 15 are internally filled with insulating cotton 16 made of aerogel felt with a filling density of 180-220 kg / m³.3 This reduces heat loss and stabilizes the bovine sperm tubes by wrapping them in the insulation cotton 16. The horizontal height of the bovine sperm tube opening within the insulation cotton 16 is 2-3mm lower than the top surface of the top ring 14, ensuring effective support of the bovine sperm tubes without hindering their movement. A mounting block 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the processing box 7, providing a mounting base for subsequent cutting components. A glued-coated cutting head 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting block 17, employing an arc-shaped blade to cut the bovine sperm tube head at a 30°-45° cutting angle. The surface is covered with medical-grade pressure-sensitive adhesive to adhere the cut tube head. A microscope 19 is installed on the top right side of the table 1 for detecting sperm activity, morphology, and other indicators within the processed bovine sperm tubes.
[0015] Working principle: The semen tubes to be tested enter the system through a tapered feed pipe 8, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The inner diameter of the narrower opening (0.5-1mm larger than the outer diameter of the semen tube) ensures that only one tube can pass through at a time. After the motor 2 is started, the main pulley 3 drives the coaxial rotating shaft 4 to perform intermittent circular motion, causing the silicone hammer 5 to periodically strike the outside of the feed pipe 8, forming elastic vibration, which effectively prevents the semen tubes from being blocked due to static electricity or adhesion.
[0016] When the semen tube falls into the hollow column 15, the aerogel felt insulation cotton 16 (with a filling density of 180-220 kg / m³) is used. 3 Rapid heat transfer is achieved through extremely low thermal resistance, while ensuring tube stability. Under the control of the temperature controller, the heating plate 9 maintains the ambient temperature at 37±1℃ (the optimal temperature for bovine sperm resuscitation) with an accuracy of ±0.5℃, and completes sperm activity awakening for 5-8 minutes.
[0017] In the transmission system, the main pulley 3 drives the driven pulley 10 through the belt 11, so that the double rotating column 12 drives the rubber belt 13 to rotate at a constant linear speed of 0.5-1m / min.
[0018] As the bovine tube moves along the rubber band 13 to below the adhesive-coated cutter head 18, the curved blade cuts the tube head at a 30°-45° angle, and the adhesive layer (using medical-grade pressure-sensitive adhesive) is adhered and fixed within 0.5 seconds. The cut tube head will temporarily adhere to the adhesive-coated cutter head 18. As each tube head is cut, they will be squeezed together and collected in the waste groove at the top of the processing box 7.
[0019] The microscope 19 was then adjusted to the optimal observation position, and the processed bovine semen was directly retrieved from the multiple through-holes at the top of the processing box 7 for testing. The entire process is fully automated from material feeding to testing, with a single processing cycle controlled within 30-45 seconds, significantly improving testing efficiency.
[0020] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
