Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a mobile cattle and horse restraint frame. Background Technology

[0002] When examining and treating large livestock such as cattle and horses, it is often necessary to use restraints to immobilize the animals for the purpose of the examination. Oral examination is a crucial step in the process. Ordinary restraints typically fix the animal's neck, but even in this immobilization, the animal's head can still rotate slightly. In such cases, it is necessary to manually pry open the animal's mouth for examination. When the examination is lengthy, someone needs to be present to keep the animal's mouth open at all times. For the examiners, this is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also increases the risk that the animal may become agitated or fearful, shaking its head and preventing proper examination, or even accidentally injuring the staff. Utility Model Content

The middle part of the positioning pin 6-2-9 passes through the positioning hole 6-2-10. Several positioning holes 6-2-10 are provided and are distributed in an arc shape on the positioning plate 6-2-8. The arc shape of the positioning holes 6-2-10 corresponds to the rotational movement curve of the limiting holes 6-2-11. The positioning plate 6-2-8 is fixedly connected to the upper crossbar 1-1 and is located between the two curved rods 6-2-3.

[0041] In this embodiment, both the upper pressure plate 6-2-6 and the lower support plate 6-2-5 are designed to fit the upper and lower skin of the cow's mouth in an arc shape, and the inner sides of the upper pressure plate 6-2-6 and the lower support plate 6-2-5 are provided with arc-shaped rubber pads to prevent squeezing injuries.

[0042] By rotating the curved rod 6-2-3, move the arc-shaped frame 6-2-4 to a suitable position above the cow's muzzle. Secure the curved rod 6-2-3 by passing the positioning pin 6-2-9 through the positioning hole 6-2-10 and the two limiting holes 6-2-11. Pinch the cow's upper jaw to open the mouth to a suitable angle. Insert the lower support plate 6-2-5 into the cow's mouth and support the upper jaw. Fasten the upper pressure plate 6-2-6 so that the rubber pad on the inner side of the upper pressure plate 6-2-6 is tightly against the upper part of the cow's muzzle. Lock the upper pressure plate 6-2-6 and the lower support plate 6-2-5 together using the second fastening bolt 6-2-7. This completes the fixation of the cow's upper jaw.

[0043] like Figure 7 As shown, a perforated plate 5-1 is provided at the bottom of the column 5, and a fixing stake 5-2 is installed in the circular hole of the perforated plate 5-1. The fixing stake 5-2 can be fixed by driving it into the ground.

[0044] The side frame 3 includes an upper horizontal side bar 3-1 and a lower horizontal side bar 3-2 arranged in parallel. Both ends of the upper horizontal side bar 3-1 and the lower horizontal side bar 3-2 are fixedly connected to the column 5 by bolt assemblies. The upper horizontal side bar 3-1 is fixedly connected to both ends of the X-shaped frame 3-3 by bolt assemblies, and the other two ends of the X-shaped frame 3-3 are fixedly connected to the lower horizontal side bar 3-2 by bolt assemblies. In this embodiment, the upper horizontal side bar 3-1 and the lower horizontal side bar 3-2 are provided with multiple reserved mounting holes, allowing for the installation of multiple connecting rods for auxiliary reinforcement as needed.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the usage process of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] First, install the device according to the above instructions, drive the fixing stake 5-2 into the ground, drive the cattle in, and rotate the handle 2-7 to move the neck clamp 2-4 towards the middle to clamp the cattle's neck.

[0047] During the oral cavity examination, loosen the first fastening bolt 6-1-7 on the short sleeve 6-1-1, move the strap 6-1-3 to the cow's lower jaw, place the long fixing rod 6-1-2 below the cow's chin, manually open the cow's mouth to a certain angle, pass the strap 6-1-3 through the cow's mouth, and then pass the strap 6-1-3 through the limiting ring 6-1-4 and tighten it using the strap buckle 6-1-5. Thus, the strap 6-1-3 and the long fixing rod 6-1-2 fix the cow's lower jaw. Tighten the first fastening bolt 6-1-7 to secure the short sleeve 6-1-1 in place. Remove the positioning pin 6-2-9, rotate the curved rod 6-2-3, and move the arc frame 6-2-4 to a suitable position above the cow's muzzle. Then, insert the positioning pin 6-2-9 into the positioning hole 6-2-10 and the two limiting holes 6-2-11 to fix the curved rod 6-2-3 in place. Pinch the cow's upper jaw and open it to a suitable angle. Insert the lower support plate 6-2-5 into the cow's mouth and support the upper jaw. Snap the upper pressure plate 6-2-6 so that the rubber pad on the inside of the upper pressure plate 6-2-6 is tightly against the upper part of the cow's muzzle. Use the second fastening bolt 6-2-7 to lock the upper pressure plate 6-2-6 and the lower support plate 6-2-5 together. In this way, the cow's upper and lower jaws are fixed, and the cow's mouth remains open.

[0048] It should be noted that the order in which the upper and lower jaws of cattle are fixed can be determined according to the actual situation. By fixing the neck and upper and lower jaws of animals such as cattle and horses separately, the animal's head cannot shake and its mouth cannot close. This not only saves manpower, but also avoids the risk of animals shaking their heads, affecting the inspection, or even hitting or biting the staff.

[0049] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
