Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of animal husbandry and veterinary instrument technology, and in particular relates to an ear tag clamp for animal husbandry and veterinary use. Background Technology

[0002] Animal veterinary ear tagging clamps are tools specifically designed for attaching ear tags to livestock (such as cattle, sheep, and pigs). Ear tags are primarily used to identify livestock, facilitating management and tracking of information such as health, reproduction, and production. Using ear tagging clamps ensures the ear tag is securely attached while minimizing harm to the animal.

[0003] According to a public announcement of an ear tag clamp for animal husbandry and veterinary use (publication number: CN222786695U): it includes a holding mechanism and an installation mechanism for attaching the ear tag to the animal's ear, with the installation mechanism installed on the side of the holding mechanism.

[0004] In the aforementioned application, the precise design of the gripping mechanism and the installation mechanism components makes it difficult to effectively disinfect the ear tag needle during the process of tagging livestock. This means that the ear tag needle may carry bacteria or other microorganisms during use, which can then enter the livestock's ear. Over time, the livestock's ear tissue may become infected with bacteria, leading to local inflammation or more serious health problems, affecting its growth, development, and overall health. Therefore, we propose an ear tag clamp for livestock veterinary use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an ear tag clamp for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine. Through the design of components such as the disinfection box, spray nozzle and supply tube of the disinfection mechanism, it solves the problems of incomplete ear tag disinfection and high risk of bacterial transmission in the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model is an ear tag clamp for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, including a fixed clamp body, a movable clamp body rotatably connected inside the fixed clamp body, an ear tag needle fixedly connected to the head end of the fixed clamp body, an ear tag fixing plate provided at the head end of the movable clamp body, a compression spring provided between the fixed clamp body and the movable clamp body, and a disinfection mechanism provided at the top of the fixed clamp body. The disinfection mechanism includes a disinfection box, which is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed clamp body. A squeezing plate is slidably connected inside the disinfection box. A force-bearing column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the squeezing plate. The circumferential surface of the force-bearing column penetrates and is slidably connected to the bottom of the disinfection box. A push rod is fixedly connected to the side of the movable clamp body. A delivery pipe is fixedly connected through the side of the disinfection box. A spray nozzle is opened at the end of the delivery pipe away from the disinfection box. The purpose is to disinfect the ear tag needle and reduce ear infections or inflammation in animals caused by unclean ear tag needles.

[0007] Furthermore, a return spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the disinfection box. The end of the return spring away from the disinfection box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the squeezing plate. The purpose of this is to ensure that the squeezing plate can automatically reset and reduce manual intervention.

[0008] Furthermore, a supply pipe is fixedly inserted through the side of the disinfection box, and a sealing plug is slidably connected inside the supply pipe. The purpose of this is to allow the supply of disinfectant water to the inside of the disinfection box through the supply pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, there are two force-bearing columns and push rods, which are symmetrical to each other along the vertical central axis of the fixed clamp body. The two force-bearing columns are located on the displacement trajectories of the two push rods, which is to ensure that the movement of the push rods can push the force-bearing columns.

[0010] Furthermore, the first end of the fixed clamp body is provided with a clamping mechanism, which includes a support plate. The support plate is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed clamp body, and a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate. A fixed arc plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the telescopic rod. A movable arc plate is fixedly connected to the side of the movable clamp body. Rubber pads are fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the fixed arc plate and the movable arc plate. The purpose is to lightly clamp the ears of the livestock to prevent the livestock from being startled and causing the ears to retract.

[0011] Furthermore, a compression spring is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed arc plate, and the end of the compression spring away from the top of the fixed arc plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod. The purpose of this is to ensure that the fixed arc plate can automatically reset and reduce manual intervention.

[0012] Furthermore, there are two of the support plate, fixed arc plate, and movable arc plate, which are symmetrical to each other along the vertical central axis of the fixed clamp body. The purpose is to evenly distribute the mechanical load, reduce unilateral deviation or deformation, ensure the stability of the clamp body, and avoid imbalance or damage to the equipment during use due to asymmetrical force.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model utilizes the coordinated operation of components such as the disinfection box, spray nozzle, and supply pipe of the disinfection mechanism. When applying ear tags to livestock, medical personnel first verify the ear tag number to ensure it corresponds to the animal. Then, the ear tag is placed on the ear tag fixing plate, and the fixed clamp is held and aligned with the livestock's ear. The movable clamp is pressed, causing its head to rotate upwards, which drives the push rod to rotate. The push rod squeezes the force column, pushing the squeezing plate to move within the disinfection box. Pressurized disinfectant water enters the delivery pipe and is sprayed onto the ear tag needle through the spray nozzle for disinfection. This design effectively prevents the spread of bacteria, ensures the hygiene and safety of the ear tag, improves the safety of the wearing process, and reduces the occurrence of animal health problems.

[0014] 2. This utility model utilizes the cooperation between components such as the fixed arc plate, the movable arc plate, and the rubber pad in the clamping mechanism. When the movable clamp rotates, it causes the movable arc plate to engage tightly with the fixed arc plate, effectively restricting the animal's ears. The rubber pad contacts the ear surface, providing cushioning and protection, preventing excessive pressure, and avoiding stress reactions and ear contraction. As the clamp rotates, the fixed arc plate self-adjusts and retracts via a telescopic rod and spring. This design improves operational accuracy, reduces the risk of injury, and enhances safety and comfort.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

The disinfection mechanism 6 includes a disinfection box 61, which is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed clamp body 1. A squeezing plate 63 is slidably connected inside the disinfection box 61. A force-bearing column 64 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the squeezing plate 63. The circumferential surface of the force-bearing column 64 penetrates and is slidably connected to the bottom of the disinfection box 61. A push rod 65 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable clamp body 2. A delivery pipe 66 is fixedly connected to the side of the disinfection box 61. A spray nozzle 67 is opened at the end of the delivery pipe 66 away from the disinfection box 61. The purpose is to disinfect the ear tag needle 3 and reduce the infection or inflammation of the animal's ear caused by unclean ear tag needle 3.

[0021] As shown in the figure, a reset spring 68 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the disinfection box 61. The end of the reset spring 68 away from the disinfection box 61 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the squeezing plate 63. The purpose is to ensure that the squeezing plate 63 can automatically reset and reduce manual intervention.

[0022] As shown in the figure, a supply pipe 69 is fixedly inserted through the side of the disinfection box 61. A sealing plug 610 is slidably connected inside the supply pipe 69. The purpose is to supply disinfectant water to the inside of the disinfection box 61 through the supply pipe 69.

[0023] As shown in the figure, there are two force-bearing columns 64 and push rods 65, which are symmetrical to each other along the vertical central axis of the fixed clamp body 1. The two force-bearing columns 64 are located on the displacement trajectories of the two push rods 65, respectively. The purpose is to ensure that the movement of the push rods 65 can push the force-bearing columns 64.

[0024] As shown in the figure, the fixed clamp body 1 is provided with a clamping mechanism 7 at its head end. The clamping mechanism 7 includes a support plate 71, which is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed clamp body 1. A telescopic rod 72 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 71, and a fixed arc plate 73 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the telescopic rod 72. A movable arc plate 74 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable clamp body 2. Rubber pads 75 are fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the fixed arc plate 73 and the movable arc plate 74. The purpose of this is to lightly clamp the ears of the livestock to prevent the livestock from being startled and to cause the ears to retract.

[0025] As shown in the figure, a compression spring 76 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed arc plate 73. The end of the compression spring 76 away from the top of the fixed arc plate 73 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 72. The purpose is to ensure that the fixed arc plate 73 can automatically reset and reduce manual intervention.

[0026] As shown in the figure, there are two support plates 71, fixed arc plates 73 and movable arc plates 74, which are symmetrical to each other along the vertical central axis of the fixed clamp body 1. The purpose is to evenly distribute the mechanical load, reduce unilateral deviation or deformation, ensure the stability of the clamp body, and avoid imbalance or damage to the equipment during use due to asymmetrical force.

[0027] One specific application of this embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to attach ear tags to livestock, medical personnel first need to verify the ear tag number to ensure that it corresponds perfectly with the animal to be tagged. Next, the medical personnel accurately place the ear tag on the ear tag fixing plate 4, and hold the fixing clamp 1 to adjust its position and align it with the livestock's ear. At this time, the medical personnel press the movable clamp 2, causing its tip to rotate upward. As the movable clamp 2 rotates, it drives the push rod 65 to rotate accordingly. During the rotation, the push rod 65 applies pressure to the force column 64, further pushing the squeezing plate 63 to move inside the disinfection box 61. The movement of the squeezing plate 63 puts pressure on the disinfectant water inside the disinfection box 61, thereby causing the disinfectant water to flow through the delivery pipe 66. The disinfectant water is accurately sprayed onto the ear tag needle 3 through the spray nozzle 67, thoroughly disinfecting it, thereby effectively preventing the spread of bacteria and cross-infection. This process not only ensures the hygiene and safety of the ear tag, but also improves the safety and hygiene standards of the entire wearing process, reducing animal health problems that may be caused by improper operation.

[0028] As the movable clamp 2 rotates, it drives the movable arc plate 74 to rotate accordingly. During the rotation, the movable arc plate 74 closely cooperates with the fixed arc plate 73 to effectively restrict the animal's ear. At this time, the rubber pad 75 contacts the surface of the animal's ear, playing a buffering and protective role, preventing the movable arc plate 74 and the fixed arc plate 73 from applying excessive pressure, thereby avoiding stress reactions caused by pain or discomfort in the animal, which may lead to ear contraction or restlessness. As the fixed clamp 1 and the movable clamp 2 rotate, the movement of the fixed arc plate 73 is self-adjusted and retracted through the cooperation of the telescopic rod 72 and the compression spring 76. This design not only ensures the accuracy of the equipment during operation, but also effectively reduces the risk of injury to the animal's ear, improving the overall safety and comfort of operation.
