Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock equipment technology, specifically to a veterinary thermometer. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, mercury thermometers or ordinary electronic thermometers are commonly used to measure the body temperature of livestock on the market. Due to their limited length, inaccurate readings are prone to occur. For example, the measuring rods of mercury thermometers or ordinary electronic thermometers are relatively short, and the insertion depth into the pig's rectum may not be sufficient, leading to inaccurate readings. On the other hand, the depth of insertion into the rectum relies on experience, and it is difficult for humans to effectively judge the depth of insertion. When measuring the body temperature of pigs of different ages, the thermometer may be inserted too deeply or too shallowly. Too shallow insertion can easily lead to inaccurate readings and longer measurement times, while too deep insertion can easily cause injury to the pig. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the technical solution of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 1-2 A veterinary thermometer includes a handheld end 1 and an insertion end 2, which are connected to each other. The insertion end 2 has a long strip structure and a circular cross-section in the axial direction. The inner diameter of the insertion end 2 gradually decreases from one side of the handheld end 1 to the end of the insertion end 2. The gradually concave structure of the insertion end 2 facilitates insertion into the animal's body and reduces the animal's discomfort compared to a constant diameter structure.

[0027] A temperature sensor probe 3 is provided on the port of the insertion end 2 away from the handheld end 1. The temperature sensor probe 3 can be installed at the port of the insertion end 2 by means of a threaded connection.

[0028] Both the insertion end 2 and the handheld end 1 are hollow structures. The insertion end 2 has an opening 4 at its port. After the temperature sensor probe 3 is installed at the port of the insertion end 2, the transmission line of the temperature sensor probe 3 can be introduced into the insertion end 2 through the opening 4 at the port of the insertion end 2. The port of the insertion end 2 is provided with an external thread around the opening 4. The side of the temperature sensor probe 3 that connects to the insertion end 2 is provided with a connecting groove. The inner surface of the connecting groove is provided with an internal thread. The temperature sensor probe 3 is tightened at the port of the insertion end 2 through the cooperation of the external thread and the internal thread.

[0029] The end of the temperature sensor probe 3 has an arc-shaped structure, which facilitates insertion into the rectum of livestock. The side where the temperature sensor probe 3 connects to the insertion end 2 is smoothly transitioned. The opening 4 of the insertion end 2 has a stepped structure, and the external thread at the opening 4 of the insertion end 2 is set on the outer side of the stepped structure. The diameter of the temperature sensor probe 3 is the same as the diameter of the outer edge of the stepped structure of the insertion end 2. When the temperature sensor probe 3 is tightened at the opening 4 of the insertion end 2, the temperature sensor probe 3 is installed on the stepped structure of the insertion end 2, so that the end face of the temperature sensor probe 3 abuts against the end face of the insertion end 2 on the stepped structure. At this time, the edge of the temperature sensor probe 3 is aligned with and overlaps with the edge of the stepped structure of the insertion end 2, so that the temperature sensor and the insertion end 2 are smoothly transitioned, preventing any protrusion at the connection position of the temperature sensor probe 3 and the insertion end 2. This reduces the discomfort caused to the livestock by any protrusion at the connection transition position when the thermometer is inserted into the rectum.

[0030] The insertion end 2 has several visible markings arranged sequentially along its axial direction. These visible markings are clear markers that allow staff to easily and intuitively judge the insertion depth of the insertion end. The visible markings are preferably age rings 5. The age rings 5 ​​are preferably set to protrude from the surface of the insertion end 2 or have grooves on both sides to highlight their position. Several age rings 5 ​​are arranged coaxially and parallel to each other, and the age rings 5 ​​surround the insertion end 2.

[0031] The distance between several age rings 5 ​​can be adjusted according to the age of the livestock, so as to meet the requirement that the older the livestock is and the larger its size, the greater the insertion depth is required when measuring temperature. The insertion end 2 between adjacent age rings 5 ​​is coated with different colors to form color areas 6 of different colors. Several color layers have the same width in the axial direction of the insertion end 2. By forming color areas 6 arranged in sequence on the insertion end 2, it can help the breeder or medical staff to insert the insertion end 2 of the color area 6 at different positions into the rectum of the livestock according to the age of the livestock.

[0032] The color area 6 of the insertion end 2 is made by laser engraving, two-color molding or spray painting. The color on the color area 6 is not easy to fall off. Age markings or distance markings can also be set on the color area.

[0033] The temperature sensor probe 3 installed on the insertion end 2 is placed between the initial age ring 5 located near the insertion end 2 and the initial color zone 6 on the surface of the insertion end 2. Regardless of the age of the animal, the initial color zone 6 where the temperature sensor probe 3 is located must be inserted into the animal's rectum.

[0034] The handheld end 1 and the insertion end 2 have an arc-shaped transition, which can reduce harm to the animal if the animal is accidentally inserted into the rectum by the feeder or medical staff.

[0035] The hollow structure inside the handheld device 1 is used to install the temperature sensor and battery. The handheld device 1 is also equipped with a display screen 7 and a switch 8. The display screen 7 can display the temperature detected by the temperature sensor probe 3, and the switch 8 can turn the power of the thermometer on and off.

[0036] The handheld end 1 also has a connecting ear 10 on its side, on which a pendant can be attached for easy carrying of the thermometer.

[0037] A battery cover 9 is provided on the side of the handheld end 1 away from the insertion end 2. The battery cover 9 is made of silicone material and is detachably installed on the handheld end 1. Multiple protrusions are provided on the inner wall of the battery cover 9.

[0038] The handheld end 1 is provided with a stepped structure that is interference-fitted with the battery cover 9. The side of the stepped structure on the handheld end 1 has a groove that matches the protrusion on the battery cover 9. After the battery cover 9 is installed on the handheld end 1, the protrusion of the battery cover 9 is inserted into the groove of the handheld end 1. The protrusion and the groove are interference-fitted, thus achieving multiple waterproof effects, resulting in better waterproof effect and making it less likely for the battery cover 9 to fall off.

[0039] In other embodiments, the handheld device 1 can use a rechargeable battery, eliminating the need for a removable battery cover 9; only a charging port that can be blocked and opened is required.

[0040] With the age ring 5 and color zone 6 that can be directly observed, keepers or medical personnel can directly judge the depth to be inserted into the rectum by color, which is clear, easy to understand and convenient to use; moreover, the color ring will not change color or fall off after long-term use.

[0041] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
