[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-5 A special upright post for cattle and sheep farms with rubbing and massage functions, including the upright post body 1, and also including: The itching massage mechanism is installed on the outer wall of the column body 1. It is used to massage cattle and sheep by rubbing their skin. The itching massage mechanism includes a rotating cylinder 2 that is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the column body 1 by two bearings distributed vertically. The outer side of the rotating cylinder 2 is provided with multiple evenly distributed abutment plates 3. Two slide rods 4 are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the abutment plates 3. The outer wall of the rotating cylinder 2 has grooves 5 corresponding to the two slide rods 4. The two slide rods 4 extend into the interior of the two grooves 5. Massage balls 6 are movably connected to the outer wall of the abutment plates 3. Multiple evenly distributed through holes 7 are opened through the outer wall of the abutment plates 3. Multiple hard brushes 8 that pass through the multiple through holes 7 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 2.

[0017] In this embodiment: During use, the rotating drum 2 slowly and continuously rotates around the column body 1. When cattle or sheep approach the column body 1 and their bodies contact the abutment plate 3, under the pressure of the cattle or sheep themselves, the sliding rod 4 on the inner side of the abutment plate 3 slides inward along the groove 5, compressing the return spring 13. This action makes the hard bristles 8, which originally passed through the through hole 7 on the abutment plate 3, protrude more from the outer surface of the abutment plate 3. As the rotating drum 2 rotates, these protruding hard bristles 8 effectively scrape off parasites, loose hair, and dirt from the cattle or sheep's bodies by rotating and brushing, satisfying their need for rubbing. The hard bristles 8 are made of stainless steel wire, ensuring the durability and cleaning effect of the brush body. In sync with the rubbing function, multiple massage balls 6 embedded in the outer wall of the abutment plate 3 move in a circular motion along with the abutment plate 3. When the cattle or sheep's bodies press against the abutment plate 3... These massage rollers 6 exert rolling pressure on the skin and subcutaneous muscle tissue of cattle and sheep during rotation. This gentle rolling massage helps promote local blood circulation, relax muscles, relieve stress in livestock, and improve animal welfare. After the cattle and sheep finish rubbing and leave, the pressure applied to the abutment plate 3 disappears. At this time, the compressed return spring 13 releases its elasticity, pushing the slide rod 4 and the abutment plate 3 fixed thereto to move outward until it returns to its initial position. During this reset process, the originally protruding hard bristles 8 retract into the through hole 7. This reciprocating extension and retraction movement can effectively push off the cattle and sheep hair that may be entangled or attached to the hard bristles 8 during the rubbing process, avoiding the hygiene hazards such as difficulty in cleaning the brush body and the growth of bacteria caused by long-term hanging and accumulation of hair, thus achieving a self-cleaning function.

[0018] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an internal gear ring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating drum 2, and an installation groove 10 is opened on the outer wall of the column body 1. A drive motor 11 is installed at the upper end of the installation groove 10, and a gear 12 that meshes with the internal gear ring 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 11.

[0019] In this embodiment: the drive motor 11 drives the gear 12 to rotate, the gear 12 drives the internal gear ring 9 to rotate, and the internal gear ring 9 drives the rotating drum 2 to rotate.

[0020] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a return spring 13 is fixedly connected between the groove 5 and the slide rod 4.

[0021] In this embodiment, the slide bar 4 and the abutment plate 3 can be reset by the reset spring 13.

[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the groove 5 and the slide rod 4 are slidably connected by a limiting slide groove and a limiting slider.

[0023] In this embodiment, the sliding rod 4 can be limited by the limiting groove and the limiting slider to prevent the sliding rod 4 from falling out of the groove 5.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a fixed base 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the column body 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the column body 1 can be stably installed and supported by the fixed base 14.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the material of the hard bristle brush 8 is stainless steel wire.

[0027] In this embodiment: the hard bristle brush 8 is made of stainless steel wire. Stainless steel wire can provide a unique and powerful scraping and massaging effect, which is excellent for helping cattle and sheep remove thick mud, clumps of feces and deep hair loss. It is extremely wear-resistant and has a very long service life.

[0028] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the drive motor 11 drives the gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the internal gear ring 9 to rotate. The internal gear ring 9 drives the rotating cylinder 2 to rotate slowly and continuously around the column body 1. When cattle or sheep approach the column body 1 and their bodies contact the abutment plate 3, under the pressure of the cattle or sheep themselves, the sliding rod 4 on the inner side of the abutment plate 3 slides inward along the groove 5, compressing the return spring 13. This action causes the hard brush 8, which originally passed through the through hole 7 on the abutment plate 3, to protrude more from the outer surface of the abutment plate 3. As the rotating cylinder 2 rotates, these protruding hard brushes 8 effectively scrape away parasites, loose hair, and dirt from the cattle or sheep's bodies in a rotating brushing motion, satisfying their need for rubbing. Simultaneously with the rubbing function, multiple massage rollers 6 embedded in the outer wall of the abutment plate 3 move in a circular motion along with the abutment plate 3. When the cattle or sheep's bodies... When pressed against the abutment plate 3, the massage balls 6 exert a rolling and pressing effect on the skin and subcutaneous muscle tissue of cattle and sheep during rotation. This gentle rolling massage helps promote local blood circulation, relax muscles, relieve stress in livestock, and improve animal welfare. After the cattle and sheep finish their rubbing massage and leave, the pressure applied to the abutment plate 3 disappears. At this time, the compressed return spring 13 releases its elasticity, pushing the slide rod 4 and the abutment plate 3 fixed thereto to move outwards to return to their initial position. During this return process, the originally protruding hard bristles 8 retract into the through hole 7. This reciprocating extension and retraction movement can effectively push off the cattle and sheep hair that may have been entangled or attached to the hard bristles 8 during the rubbing process, avoiding the hygiene hazards such as difficulty in cleaning the brush body and the growth of bacteria caused by long-term hanging and accumulation of hair, thus achieving a self-cleaning function.
