Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to an isolation cage for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry is an important part of agriculture, ranking alongside crop farming as one of the two pillars of agricultural production. Animal husbandry is a comprehensive discipline that studies livestock breeding, reproduction, feeding, management, disease prevention and control, as well as grassland construction, livestock product processing, and livestock management. In animal husbandry, if there are sick livestock, they need to be isolated in cages to prevent the spread of the disease to healthy livestock.

[0003] An existing technology provides a livestock and veterinary isolation cage (publication number CN219478850U). This utility model includes a base plate, an isolation cage body on top of the base plate, a rotating door installed on the isolation cage body, an opening on the isolation cage body, a feeding frame fixedly connected to the inner wall of the opening, a connecting plate between the inner walls of the two sides of the isolation cage body, a sliding groove opened in the connecting plate, a sliding seat slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove, a driving mechanism provided on the top of the sliding seat, a connecting rod fixedly installed below the connecting plate at the bottom of the sliding seat, a hollow plate fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod, multiple nozzles provided at the bottom end of the hollow plate, a water pipe connected to the top of the hollow plate, the other end of the water pipe penetrating the top wall of the isolation cage body and connected to a water pump output end, a water pump input end connected to a water inlet pipe, and a moving mechanism provided at each of the four corners of the base plate. This utility model has good sterilization and disinfection effect, is easy to move, and has good use effect.

[0004] The aforementioned animal husbandry and veterinary isolation cages only provide disinfection and mobility functions during actual use. However, they lack the function of collecting animal feces, which leads to animal feces contaminating the environment inside the isolation cage. This makes it easy for bacteria and odors to grow inside the cage, seriously affecting the isolation environment of the animals in the cage and hindering their recovery.

[0005] Chinese patent discloses an isolation cage for animal husbandry and veterinary use (authorization announcement number CN223142644U). This patented technology, through the design of a structure including an installation plate, support rods, and a collection box, allows for easy installation at the bottom of the cage via the mounting plate, support rods, and support holes. Excretion channels between multiple support rods allow animal feces to be discharged from the isolation cage, reducing the pollution of the cage's internal environment caused by bacteria from untreated feces. The discharged feces are collected in the collection box, where a chemical deodorizer is added to the water to react with odor molecules, eliminating or reducing the intensity of the odor and thus reducing odor pollution of the air environment inside the isolation cage. This invention effectively collects and discharges animal feces, reducing pollution of the cage's internal environment caused by bacteria from untreated feces and reducing odor pollution of the air environment inside the isolation cage, thus facilitating the recovery of animals within the cage.

[0006] However, it has certain drawbacks: it is only a simple enclosure structure, and animals can move freely inside the cage. When veterinarians need to perform treatments such as injections or examinations, the animals are very likely to struggle due to fear or discomfort. In this case, if only one operator performs the procedure, it is often difficult to control the animal's position while completing the treatment stably and accurately, which is inconvenient and poses safety hazards. To ensure smooth and safe operation, two or more people usually need to work together, one person to restrain the animal and the other to perform the treatment. This not only increases the manpower required but also reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an isolation cage for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A livestock and veterinary isolation cage includes a bottom plate and a top plate located above the bottom plate. Support rods are fixed between the four corners of the bottom plate and the top plate. Multiple railings are fixed between the support rods on the left and right sides from top to bottom. Two railings are provided on the outside of the railings on the front and back sides. The upper surface of the top plate is provided with a distance adjustment mechanism for adjusting the distance between the two railings. The distance adjustment mechanism includes a rotating shaft, a seat bearing is installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft, and a turntable is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft. Both opposite ends of the upper surface of the turntable are rotatably connected to a linkage rod. The end of the linkage rod away from the turntable is rotatably connected to a linkage plate. The distance adjustment mechanism also includes a driving component for driving the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the driving component includes a worm and a worm wheel meshing with the worm, and pedestal bearings are installed at both the front and rear ends of the worm.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the first pedestal bearing is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top plate, the linkage plate is slidably connected to the top plate and fixedly connected to the guardrail, the worm is located on the lower side of the turntable, the worm wheel is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft and the worm wheel is located between the first pedestal bearing and the turntable, the lead angle of the worm is smaller than the equivalent friction angle between the tooth surfaces of the worm wheel, and the second pedestal bearing is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top plate.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the railing includes a U-shaped rod, and a plate 1 is fixedly connected to the lower ends of both the front and rear sides of the U-shaped rod. A U-shaped block is fixedly sleeved on the lower end of the plate 1, and a screw is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the plate 1. A nut is threaded onto the external thread of the screw. A plate 2 is movably connected between the two plates 1. Support blocks are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the upper surface of the plate 2.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the first plate is movably sleeved on the outside of the railing, the lower end of the second plate is located inside the two U-shaped blocks, the support block is movably sleeved on the outside of the screw, and the support block is located between the first plate and the nut.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: The upper surfaces of the two U-shaped rods are provided with pressing mechanisms on both the front and rear sides of the linkage plate. Each pressing mechanism includes a mounting plate that adheres to the upper surface of the U-shaped rods. A first pressing rod is threaded through the center of the mounting plate. A pressure plate is rotatably connected to the lower end of the first pressing rod. Second pressing rods are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressure plate on both the left and right sides of the first pressing rod. The second pressing rods movably penetrate the mounting plate. Sliding holes extending to the lower surface are opened on the upper surface of the mounting plate on both the left and right sides of the first pressing rod. Sliding blocks are slidably connected inside the sliding holes. Two sliding blocks are respectively fixed to the upper surfaces of the left and right U-shaped rods.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: the upper surface of the base plate is provided with a plurality of through holes extending to the lower surface, and a tray is fixedly connected to the lower side of the base plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention utilizes a detachable second plate in conjunction with a U-shaped block, screw, and nut to achieve rapid opening and closing of the cage, facilitating animal entry and exit. An adjustable mechanism driven by a worm gear and worm drives the two side panels to move towards or away from each other, allowing for flexible space adjustment based on animal size and reliable restraint. Its built-in reverse self-locking function effectively prevents the side panels from retracting during animal struggles, ensuring the stability and safety of treatment procedures. A pressing mechanism further enhances the restraint effect by pressing the animal vertically. This design allows for efficient completion of the entire process of driving away, isolating, and restraining the animal by a single person, significantly improving the convenience and safety of veterinary work. Unlike existing methods that use push plates to restrain animals, where the operator needs to use one hand or seek help to tighten bolts or jacks with a wrench to keep the plates in place, making the process cumbersome and potentially causing the animal to struggle and move during tightening, resulting in an unsatisfactory restraint position and even requiring readjustment of the restraint mechanism, this invention allows the operator to smoothly and precisely control the movement of the two plates towards each other by simply rotating the rocker at the end of the worm gear, directly restraining the animal. Due to the self-locking characteristic of the worm gear, restraint and locking are completed simultaneously and automatically. As soon as the rocker is stopped, the plates immediately lock in their current position without any additional steps, allowing the operator to focus entirely on observing the animal's condition and preparing for treatment.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment of the utility model, an isolation cage for animal husbandry and veterinary use includes a bottom plate 1 and a top plate 2 located above the bottom plate 1; the bottom plate 1 includes a plate body and support legs fixed to the four corners of the lower surface of the plate body; ramps are fixed to both the left and right sides of the bottom plate 1 to guide animals to step onto the bottom plate 1 smoothly and easily, reducing stress response and risk of falling when driven away. Support rods 3 are fixed between the four corners of the base plate 1 and the top plate 2. Multiple railings 4 are fixed between the support rods 3 on the left and right sides from top to bottom. The spacing between two adjacent railings 4 is the same. Two railings 5 ​​are provided on the outside of the front and rear railings 4. The railings 5 ​​include U-shaped bars 6. Plate 7 is fixed to the lower ends of the front and rear sides of the U-shaped bars 6. Plate 7 is movably sleeved on the outside of the railings 4. That is, the front plate 7 is movably sleeved on the outside of the multiple front railings 4, and the rear plate 7 is movably sleeved on the outside of the multiple rear railings 4. A U-shaped block 8 is fixedly sleeved on the lower end of plate 1 7, and a screw 9 is fixedly sleeved on the upper surface of plate 1 7. A nut 10 is threaded onto the outside of the screw 9. Plate 2 11 is movably connected between the two plates 1 7. The lower end of plate 2 11 is located inside the two U-shaped blocks 8. Support blocks 12 are fixedly sleeved at both ends of the upper surface of plate 2 11. The support blocks 12 are movably sleeved on the outside of the screw 9 and are located between plate 1 7 and the nut 10. After unscrewing the nut 10, plate 2 11 can be lifted upwards and removed from the inside of the U-shaped blocks 8, thereby disassembling plate 2 11 for animal passage.

[0019] exist Figure 1 In the middle: the upper surface of the base plate 1 has multiple through holes 13 extending to the lower surface; the diameter of the through holes 13 is required to allow liquid excrement and a small amount of small solid particles to fall smoothly; a tray 14 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the base plate 1; the tray 14 is fixed between the four legs of the base plate 1, and the front end of the tray 14 is tilted downward, so a collection box can be placed on the front side of the tray 14 for collection.

[0020] exist Figure 1 , Figures 3-5 In the middle: The upper surface of the top plate 2 is provided with a distance adjustment mechanism 15 for adjusting the distance between the two railings 5. The distance adjustment mechanism 15 includes a rotating shaft 16. The lower end of the rotating shaft 16 is equipped with a seat bearing 17. The seat bearing 17 is fixed to the upper surface of the top plate 2. The seat bearing 17 includes a bearing housing and a bearing fixed inside the bearing housing. The bearing includes an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring that rotates inside the outer bearing ring. The outer bearing ring is fixed to the bearing housing. The bearing housing is fixed to the top plate 2. The rotating shaft 16 is fixed to the inner bearing ring. Therefore, the seat bearing 17 and the rotating shaft 16 are in a state of mutual rotation. A turntable 18 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 16. Both ends of the upper surface of the turntable 18 are rotatably connected to a linkage rod 19; the linkage rod 19 is an arc-shaped rod. The end of the linkage rod 19 away from the turntable 18 is rotatably connected to the linkage plate 20; the linkage rod 19 and the turntable 18, and the linkage rod 19 and the linkage plate 20 are rotatably connected by hinge pins. The linkage plate 20 is slidably connected to the top plate 2 and fixed to the U-shaped rod 6 in the fence 5. When the turntable 18 rotates clockwise, the two linkage rods 19 will close, thereby driving the two fences 5 closer together through the linkage plate 20. When the turntable 18 rotates counterclockwise, the two linkage rods 19 will open, driving the two fences 5 apart through the linkage plate 20. The above structure can confine the animal between the two fences 5, thereby facilitating veterinarians to perform treatment operations such as injections on small and medium-sized animals such as pigs, sheep, deer, and calves. The pitch adjustment mechanism 15 also includes a drive member 21 that drives the rotating shaft 16 to rotate. The drive member 21 includes a worm 22 and a worm wheel 23 meshing with the worm 22. The worm 22 is located on the lower side of the turntable 18. The worm wheel 23 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 16 and is located between the seat bearing 17 and the turntable 18. The lead angle of the worm 22 is smaller than the equivalent friction angle between the tooth surfaces of the worm wheel 23. Therefore, the mechanism forms a self-locking state in the direction in which the worm wheel 23 drives the worm 22. That is, the mechanism has a reverse self-locking function, which only allows the worm 22 to drive the worm wheel 23 to rotate as the active member, while the worm wheel 23 cannot drive the worm 22 to rotate. The worm gear 22 and worm wheel 23 can drive the rotating shaft 16 to rotate; a rocker arm is installed at the rear end of the worm gear 22, and an L-shaped step is installed on the rear surface of the base plate 1 to facilitate the operator to rotate the worm gear 22. Both the front and rear ends of the worm gear 22 are equipped with pedestal bearings 24, which are fixed to the upper surface of the top plate 2. The structure of the pedestal bearings 24 is the same as that of the pedestal bearing 17 mentioned above, so the worm gear 22 and the pedestal bearings 24 rotate relative to each other.

[0021] To further improve the effectiveness of animal control, in Figure 6 and Figure 7In the middle: The upper surfaces of the two U-shaped rods 6 are located on both the front and rear sides of the linkage plate 20, and a pressing mechanism 25 is provided. The pressing mechanism 25 includes a mounting plate 26, which is attached to the upper surface of the U-shaped rod 6. A pressure rod 27 is threaded through the center of the mounting plate 26. The lower end of the pressure rod 27 is rotatably connected to a pressure plate 28. The two are rotatably connected by a bearing. Rotating the pressure rod 27 can cause the pressure plate 28 to descend, thereby fixing the animal in the vertical direction and further ensuring the stability during treatment; The upper surface of the pressure plate 28 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the pressure rod 27, and the pressure rod 29 moves through the mounting plate 26; the pressure rod 29 ensures that the pressure plate 29 will not rotate when the pressure rod 27 rotates. The upper surface of the mounting plate 26 has sliding holes 30 extending to the lower surface on both the left and right sides of the pressure rod 27. Sliding blocks 31 are slidably connected inside the sliding holes 30. The two sliding blocks 31 are respectively fixed to the upper surfaces of the left and right U-shaped rods 6. The sliding holes 30 and sliding blocks 31 ensure that there is no interference between the mounting plate 26 and the two U-shaped rods 6 when they move relative to each other.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, first unscrew nut 10 and move plate two 11 upwards, causing its lower end to leave the U-shaped block 8 and the support block 12 to leave the screw 9, thus disassembling plate two 11 to form an entrance; then, guide the animal to be isolated or treated smoothly onto the base plate 1 via the ramp on the side of the base plate 1; next, reinstall plate two 11 between the two U-shaped blocks 8, and fit the support block 12 into the screw 9; finally, tighten nut 10 to fix the enclosure 5, thus confining the animal inside the cage; when it is necessary to treat the animal... During acupuncture and other treatments, the operator stands on an L-shaped staircase and rotates the rocker arm at the rear end of the worm gear 22, driving the worm wheel 23 to rotate the shaft 16 and the turntable 18 clockwise. This causes the two linkage rods 19 to close, thereby driving the two guardrails 5 to move synchronously towards each other through the linkage plate 20, reliably restricting the animal's movement. The self-locking characteristics of the worm wheel 23 and the worm gear 22 prevent the guardrails 5 from accidentally moving backward due to the animal's struggle. Finally, the position of the mounting plate 26 in the left and right directions can be finely adjusted, and the pressure rod 27 is rotated to lower the pressure plate 28 to press and fix the animal in the up and down directions.
