Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of veterinary sampling technology, and in particular relates to a veterinary cub sampler. Background Technology
[0002] Sampling animal pups is a crucial and delicate task in modern animal husbandry and veterinary medicine. Its fundamental purpose is to obtain key biological information for assessing health status and preventing diseases while minimizing harm and stress. However, due to the delicate organs, low blood volume, immature immune system, and strong stress response of young animals, sampling work must adhere to the core principle of "minimizing stress and harm."
[0003] Pharyngeal sampling is a common sampling method for young animals, but the mouth and pharyngeal passages of young animals are very narrow, resulting in extremely poor visibility. When using swabs or sampling instruments, it is easy to touch non-target areas such as the tongue and cheek mucosa, leading to inaccurate sampling. For very small animals such as newborn piglets, it is even difficult to insert a suitable swab deep into the pharynx. Furthermore, young animals tend to struggle violently during sampling, requiring extra care in restraint. They must be securely fixed to prevent injury, but excessive force should be avoided to prevent suffocation or soft tissue damage. Violent struggle increases the risk of the operator being bitten or the instrument accidentally injuring the animal's mouth, and may also damage the sampler, seriously affecting the smooth progress of the sampling work.
[0004] Based on this, this utility model designs a veterinary cub sampler to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that when sampling the oral cavity of cubs in the throat area, the cubs often bite due to fright, which not only easily causes bite injuries to the operators, but also may damage the sampler due to the cubs biting forcefully, thus affecting the smooth progress of the sampling work. Therefore, a veterinary cub sampler is proposed.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A veterinary pediatric sampler includes a support plate, an outer sleeve of which is provided, a support device is installed outside the support plate, a fixing device is installed inside the support device, a sampling hole is provided inside the support plate, and a replacement device is fitted inside the sampling hole.
[0008] The support device includes two connecting blocks, which are symmetrically installed outside the support plate. A first rotating shaft is installed outside the connecting blocks. Two first linkage rods are sleeved on the first rotating shaft. A second rotating shaft is installed inside each of the two first linkage rods. A second linkage rod is sleeved on the second rotating shaft. The same third rotating shaft is connected through the two second linkage rods. The same top plate is installed inside the two second rotating shafts that are in corresponding positions.
[0009] The fixing device includes a sliding frame, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate. A slider is slidably connected inside the sliding frame, and connecting plates are symmetrically installed outside the slider. The two third rotating shafts are fixedly connected to the outside of the two connecting plates.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The support device also includes an anti-slip pad, which is installed on the outer surface of the top plate. The first rotating shaft and the first linkage rod are rotatably connected. The first linkage rod and the second linkage rod are both rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft. The two second linkage rods are rotatably connected to the third rotating shaft.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The fixing device also includes a limiting rod and several limiting holes, with the limiting holes evenly opened in the sliding frame, and the limiting rod slidably connected in the slider.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The diameter of the cross-section of the limiting rod is smaller than the inner diameter of the limiting hole, and the limiting rod is locked in one of the limiting holes.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] The replacement device includes a replacement cylinder and two mounting slots. The replacement cylinder is disposed inside the sampling hole, and mounting blocks are symmetrically installed outside the replacement cylinder. The two mounting slots are formed inside the support plate.
[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0019] The size of the mounting slot is larger than the size of the mounting block, and the mounting block is engaged within the mounting slot.
[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0021] The length of the replacement tube is the same as the length of the sampling hole, and the replacement tube and the sampling hole form a sliding connection.
[0022] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0023] 1. In this utility model, during sampling, the operator only needs to insert the support plate and sleeve into the animal's mouth. After the two top plates enter the animal's mouth, the operator pushes the slider to slide along the sliding frame. During the movement of the slider, the two connecting plates are moved synchronously, thereby driving the third rotating shaft to rotate and further driving the two second linkage rods to move in coordination. As the two second linkage rods push the second rotating shaft to gradually generate an outward expansion force, the first linkage rod and the second linkage rod gradually separate, thereby causing the two top plates to open in opposite directions, thus opening the animal's mouth. Subsequently, the limiting rod is inserted into the slider so that the limiting rod is accurately locked into the corresponding limiting hole, thereby fixing the opening angle of the top plates and keeping the animal's mouth in an open and closed state that is convenient for the operator to operate. During this process, the testing personnel can directly insert the testing swab into the mouth or throat through the sampling hole to complete the sampling.
[0024] 2. In this utility model, after the sampling operation is completed, the operator pulls the mounting block away from the mounting groove. During the movement of the mounting block, the replacement tube is pulled out of the sampling hole, thereby completing the removal of the used replacement tube. Afterward, the new replacement tube is aligned with the sampling hole and inserted, and the mounting block is pushed back into the mounting groove to achieve quick fixation and reset of the replacement tube. Through the above process, not only is the replacement operation process simplified, but detection interference caused by residual contamination in the sampling hole is also effectively avoided during multiple continuous sampling, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of sampling.

[0031] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-4 ,
[0033] First embodiment:
[0034] This utility model provides a technical solution: a veterinary cub sampler, including a support plate 1, a sleeve 2 covering the support plate 1, a support device 3 installed outside the support plate 1, a fixing device 4 installed inside the support device 3, a sampling hole 5 opened inside the support plate 1, and a replacement device 6 inserted inside the sampling hole 5.
[0035] The support device 3 includes two connecting blocks 301, which are symmetrically installed on the outside of the support plate 1. A first rotating shaft 302 is installed on the outside of the connecting blocks 301. Two first linkage rods 303 are sleeved on the first rotating shaft 302. A second rotating shaft 304 is installed inside each of the two first linkage rods 303. A second linkage rod 305 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 304. The first rotating shaft 302 and the first linkage rods 303 form a rotatable connection. During the sampling operation, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 302 can stably transmit the driving force to the first linkage rods 303, causing them to deflect synchronously. This ensures that the opening process of the top plate 307 is smooth and controllable, avoiding the abrupt feeling when the cub's mouth is opened due to uneven torque, and improving the safety of operation.
[0036] The same third pivot 306 is connected through the two second linkage rods 305, and the same top plate 307 is installed in the two corresponding second pivots 304.
[0037] The fixing device 4 includes a sliding frame 401, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 1. A slider 402 is slidably connected inside the sliding frame 401. A connecting plate 403 is symmetrically installed outside the slider 402. Two third rotating shafts 306 are fixedly connected to the outside of the two connecting plates 403.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the support device 3 also includes an anti-slip pad 308, which is installed on the outer surface of the top plate 307. The first rotating shaft 302 is rotatably connected to the first linkage rod 303. The first linkage rod 303 and the second linkage rod 305 are both rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 304. The two second linkage rods 305 are rotatably connected to the third rotating shaft 306. The fixing device 4 also includes a limiting rod 405 and several limiting holes 404. Several limiting holes 404 are evenly opened in the sliding frame 401. The limiting rod 405 is slidably connected in the slider 402. The diameter of the cross-section of the limiting rod 405 is smaller than the inner diameter of the limiting hole 404. The limiting rod 405 is locked in one of the limiting holes 404. After the limiting rod 405 is inserted into the limiting hole 404, it can accurately limit the position of the slider 402, so that the opening angle of the top plate 307 is kept within the preset range, preventing the top plate 307 from retracting due to external force or animal struggle during operation. This combination improves the stability of sampling and reduces the burden on operators who need to maintain the action for a long time.
[0039] During operation, when sampling, the operator simply inserts the support plate 1 and sleeve 2 into the animal's mouth. Once the two top plates 307 are inside the animal's mouth, the operator pushes the slider 402 to slide along the sliding frame 401. As the slider 402 moves, it drives the two connecting plates 403 to move synchronously, thereby driving the third rotating shaft 306 to rotate and further driving the two second linkage rods 305 to move in tandem. As the two second linkage rods 305 push the second rotating shaft 304 to gradually generate an outward expansion force, the first linkage rod 303 and the second linkage rod 305 gradually separate, causing the two top plates 307 to open in opposite directions, thus opening the animal's mouth. Subsequently, the limiting rod 405 is inserted into the slider 402, so that the limiting rod 405 is accurately engaged in the corresponding limiting hole 404, thereby fixing the opening angle of the top plates 307 and keeping the animal's mouth in an open and closed state that is convenient for the operator to operate. During this process, the testing personnel can directly insert the testing swab into the mouth or throat through the sampling hole 5 to complete the sampling.
[0040] Second embodiment:
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the replacement device 6 includes a replacement cylinder 602 and two mounting slots 601. The replacement cylinder 602 is disposed inside the sampling hole 5. Mounting blocks 603 are symmetrically mounted on the outside of the replacement cylinder 602. The two mounting slots 601 are opened in the support plate 1. The size of the mounting slots 601 is larger than the size of the mounting blocks 603, and the mounting blocks 603 are engaged in the mounting slots 601. The length of the replacement cylinder 602 is the same as the length of the sampling hole 5, and a sliding connection is formed between the replacement cylinder 602 and the sampling hole 5. This sliding connection allows the replacement cylinder 602 to be smoothly pulled out or pushed in when replacement is needed. This connection simplifies the replacement steps, avoids damage to the sampling hole 5 due to forced removal, and ensures that the sampling channel remains unobstructed, improving the convenience and durability of multiple samplings.
[0042] During operation, after the sampling operation is completed, the operator pulls the mounting block 603 away from the mounting slot 601. As the mounting block 603 moves, it pulls the replacement cylinder 602 out of the sampling hole 5, thus removing the used replacement cylinder 602. Afterward, the new replacement cylinder 602 is aligned with the sampling hole 5 and inserted, and the mounting block 603 is pushed back into the mounting slot 601, achieving quick fixation and reset of the replacement cylinder 602. Through the above process, not only is the replacement operation procedure simplified, but detection interference caused by residual contamination in the sampling hole 5 is also effectively avoided during multiple consecutive samplings, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of sampling.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
