[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medication administration devices for piglets, and in particular to a medication administration device for piglets. Background Technology

[0002] The piglet medication applicator is mainly used to administer medication to piglets.

[0003] While traditional medication dispensers have solved the basic problem of "being able to be medicated" for piglets, they have significant shortcomings in scenarios involving alternating medication feeding and dispensing. After administering medication, the medication delivery structure needs to be manually reset, which is time-consuming and laborious. When replenishing medication, parts often need to be disassembled, which can easily lead to channel leakage. Furthermore, the medication delivery tube is prone to shifting, causing frequent interruptions in operation. These problems result in long medication intervals, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency needs of mass medication for piglets. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medication applicator for piglets. When switching between feeding and delivery, the return spring after feeding can quickly push the contact post and delivery tube back to their original positions without manual adjustment, freeing up operating space for delivery. At the same time, medication can be directly added to the feeding tank through the delivery tube. During the replenishment process, the fixed block, the stable mounting tube, and the connecting tube can keep the channel sealed to prevent medication leakage. This alternation does not require disassembly of parts, and the movement of the delivery tube is ensured by a stabilizing rod and a guide slide to ensure stability, reducing operation interruptions, significantly shortening the feeding interval, and significantly improving the efficiency of batch medication for piglets.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a medication applicator for piglets is provided, comprising: a medication container, a fixing block fixedly connected to the inner surface of the medication container, an installation tube fixedly connected between two fixing blocks, a connecting tube fixedly connected to the rear surface of the installation tube, a return spring sleeved on the inner surface of the installation tube, a contact post abutting the front surface of the return spring, a medication delivery tube fixedly connected to the front surface of the contact post, a limit post fixedly connected to the outer surface of the medication delivery tube, a connecting sleeve abutting the rear surface of the limit post, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the upper surface of the medication delivery tube, a contact block fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting rod, sliding limit guide rails slidably connected to the left and right sides of the outer surface of the contact block, stabilizing rods fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer surface of the contact block, a guide slide rod slidably connected to the inner surface of the stabilizing rod, and a medication supply tube fixedly connected to the upper surface of the medication container. The fixed and sliding cooperation of multiple components constructs a stable medication delivery channel, ensuring smooth medication delivery, while also facilitating operation and component linkage, reducing medication deviation.

[0006] According to the described medication applicator for piglets, the guide slide is located between the fixed block and the medication tank, and the rear surface of the connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the medication tank. The position of the guide slide ensures stable installation, and the fixed connecting sleeve enhances the limiting support for the medication delivery tube, improving the overall stability of the equipment.

[0007] According to the described medication applicator for piglets, the medication supply tube extends into the interior of the feeding tank, and the size of the contact block corresponds to the size of the medication supply tube.

[0009] According to the described medication applicator for piglets, the number of stabilizing rods and the number of guide slide rods are correspondingly set, and the outer surface of the abutment post and the mounting tube are slidably connected. The corresponding number ensures precise matching between the stabilizing rods and the guide slide rods, while the slidable connection allows the abutment post to move flexibly, ensuring smooth medication delivery and repositioning.

[0010] According to the described medication applicator for piglets, the medication supply tube is located above the sliding limit guide rail. This vertical arrangement avoids conflict between the medication supply tube and the guide rail and contact block, ensuring independent operation of each component and improving operational continuity.

[0011] According to the aforementioned medicine administerer for piglets, the dimensions of the return spring and the mounting tube are correspondingly set. This dimensional matching ensures a stable installation of the return spring, guarantees that the elastic force effectively acts on the abutment post, and achieves reliable repositioning of the medicine delivery tube.

[0012] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects: This utility model comprises a fixing block, an installation pipe, a connecting pipe, a return spring, an abutment post, a medication delivery pipe, a limiting post, a connecting sleeve, a connecting rod, an abutment block, a sliding limiting guide rail, a stabilizing rod, a guide slide rod, and a medication supply pipe. When switching between medication feeding and medication delivery, the return spring quickly pushes the abutment post and medication delivery pipe back to their original positions after medication feeding, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and freeing up operating space for medication delivery. Simultaneously, medication can be directly replenished to the medication tank through the medication supply pipe. During replenishment, the sturdy installation pipe and connecting pipe of the fixing block maintain a sealed channel, preventing medication leakage. This alternation process requires no disassembly of components, and the movement of the medication delivery pipe is ensured by the stabilizing rod and guide slide rod, reducing operational interruptions, significantly shortening the medication interval, and substantially improving the efficiency of batch medication feeding for piglets.

[0016] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0017] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model discloses a medication applicator for piglets, comprising: a feeding tank 1, with a fixing block 8 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the feeding tank 1. The fixing block 8 provides a stable mounting base for the mounting tube 7 and supports both ends of the guide slide rod 10. A mounting tube 7 is fixedly connected between the two fixing blocks 8. The mounting tube 7 can accommodate a return spring 9 and an abutment post 12, and simultaneously connects to a connecting tube 6 and a medication delivery tube 13, forming part of the medication delivery channel. A connecting tube 6 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the mounting tube 7, connecting the mounting tube 7 to an external pipeline to ensure that the medication can smoothly enter the interior of the mounting tube 7. A return spring 9 is sleeved on the inner surface of the mounting tube 7, and the return spring 9 utilizes its own elasticity... The deformation allows the abutment post 12 to be pushed back to its original position after being subjected to force, thereby driving the delivery tube 13 back to its initial position. The front surface of the return spring 9 abuts against the abutment post 12, which can slide inside the mounting tube 7. When subjected to the elastic force of the return spring 9, it can push the delivery tube 13 forward, while ensuring the sealed connection between the mounting tube 7 and the delivery tube 13. The delivery tube 13 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the abutment post 12. The delivery tube 13 can deliver the liquid medicine in the mounting tube 7 to the designated position. At the same time, through the connection with the limiting post 15 and the connecting rod 5, multiple components can be linked. The outer surface of the delivery tube 13 is fixedly connected to the limiting post 15, which can cooperate with the connecting sleeve 14 to limit the sliding distance of the delivery tube 13 and prevent... Due to excessive movement, the tube detaches from the mounting tube 7, and the rear surface of the limiting post 15 abuts against the connecting sleeve 14. One end of the connecting sleeve 14 is fixed to the feeding tank 1, and the other end abuts against the limiting post 15, providing reverse support and stroke limitation for the sliding of the delivery tube 13. A connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the delivery tube 13. The connecting rod 5 is used to connect the delivery tube 13 and the abutting block 4, so that the sliding of the abutting block 4 can synchronously drive the delivery tube 13 to move. The abutting block 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting rod 5. The abutting block 4 can slide along the sliding limiting guide rail 3, and at the same time, it receives force through contact with external components, transmitting power to the delivery tube 13 through the connecting rod 5. The left and right sides of the outer surface of the abutting block 4 are slidably connected to the sliding limiting guide rail 3. The movable limit guide rail 3 is used to limit the sliding direction of the contact block 4, ensuring that it can only move along a fixed trajectory and avoid deviation. The left and right sides of the outer surface of the contact block 4 are fixedly connected to the stabilizing rod 11. The stabilizing rod 11 can slide along the guide slide rod 10 to enhance the stability of the contact block 4 when it moves and prevent it from shaking. The inner surface of the stabilizing rod 11 is slidably connected to the guide slide rod 10. The two ends of the guide slide rod 10 are respectively connected to the fixed block 8 and the feeding can 1, providing guidance for the sliding of the stabilizing rod 11 and further improving the moving stability of the contact block 4. The upper surface of the feeding can 1 is fixedly connected to the drug supply tube 2, which extends into the inside of the feeding can 1 and is used to transport external drug liquid into the feeding can 1 to provide a source of drug liquid for subsequent drug administration.

[0018] The guide slide rod 10 is located between the fixing block 8 and the feeding tank 1. This position allows the guide slide rod 10 to be fixed at both ends by the fixing block 8 and the feeding tank 1, ensuring its stable installation. The rear surface of the connecting sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the feeding tank 1. Through this fixation to the feeding tank 1, the connecting sleeve 14 can provide stable resistance support for the limiting post 15, ensuring effective limitation of the stroke of the delivery tube 13. The supply tube 2 extends into the interior of the feeding tank 1. This structural design allows the liquid medicine delivered by the supply tube 2 to directly enter the interior of the feeding tank 1, preventing leakage of the liquid medicine to the outside and ensuring the safety of the medicine medicine. To ensure efficient liquid delivery, the dimensions of the contact block 4 and the drug supply tube 2 are correspondingly set. This dimensional matching ensures that the contact block 4 will not interfere with the position of the drug supply tube 2 during sliding, while also adapting to the installation space around the drug supply tube 2. The interior of the drug delivery tube 13 is connected to the interior of the installation tube 7. This connection structure allows the liquid medicine in the installation tube 7 to flow smoothly into the drug delivery tube 13, forming a complete liquid medicine delivery path and ensuring smooth drug administration. The guide slide rods 10 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the outer surface of the installation tube 7. The symmetrical layout allows the guide slide rods 10 to provide synchronous support to the stabilizing rod 11 from both sides. The guide rails ensure balanced force distribution on the contact block 4, resulting in smoother movement. The number of stabilizing rods 11 corresponds to the number of guide slide rods 10, ensuring each guide slide rod 10 has a corresponding stabilizing rod 11 to prevent idle guide slide rods 10 or unsupported stabilizing rods 11. The outer surface of the contact post 12 is slidably connected to the mounting tube 7. This sliding connection allows the contact post 12 to move flexibly within the mounting tube 7, while ensuring a tight seal between the mounting tube 7 and the contact post 12 to prevent leakage of the medicine. The medicine supply tube 2 is located above the sliding limit guide rail 3. The positional relationship avoids spatial conflict between the medicine supply tube 2 and the sliding limit guide rail 3 and the abutment block 4 sliding on the guide rail, ensuring that each component operates independently without interference. The size of the reset spring 9 corresponds to the size of the mounting tube 7. The size matching allows the reset spring 9 to be completely fitted into the mounting tube 7, ensuring that the spring is installed firmly and that the spring force is accurately applied to the abutment post 12 to achieve effective reset. Waterproof sealing strips are provided at the connection points between the medicine tank 1 and the outside. The front surface of the medicine delivery tube 13 is provided with a leak-proof nozzle to prevent water leakage. The reset spring 9 is a special spring for operation in water.

[0019] Working Principle: First, external medicine is injected into the feeding tank 1 through the supply pipe 2. The design of the supply pipe 2 extending into the feeding tank 1 prevents leakage. Simultaneously, the waterproof sealing strip at the connection point between the feeding tank 1 and the outside further ensures a tight seal, storing sufficient medicine for administration. At this time, the return spring 9 is in its natural state. Its structure, fitted inside the mounting pipe 7, ensures its stability, and its elastic force acts on the abutment post 12, causing the delivery pipe 13 to be in its initial position supported by the abutment post 12. The leak-proof nozzle on the front surface of the delivery pipe 13 is also closed and ready for use. Pushing the abutment block 4 causes it to slide along the sliding limit guide rail 3. Simultaneously, the stabilizing rods 11 on both sides move synchronously along the guide slide rods 10. The guide slide rods 10 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting pipe 7 and fixed at both ends between the fixing block 8 and the feeding tank 1, ensuring smooth and stable movement of the abutment block 4. The abutment block 4, through the connecting rod 5, drives the delivery pipe 13 forward, delivering... The medication tube 13 drives the contact post 12 to slide within the installation tube 7 and compress the return spring 9. When the medication tube 13 moves to the designated position, the leak-proof nozzle on its front surface is aligned with the piglet's mouth. At the same time, the medication in the installation tube 7 flows into the medication tube 13 through the channel connected to the medication tube 13, and is finally delivered to the piglet through the leak-proof nozzle. During this process, the limiting post 15 abuts against the connecting sleeve 14, limiting the movement distance of the medication tube 13 and preventing it from detaching from the installation tube 7. After the medication is administered, the contact block 4 is released, and the return spring 9 pushes the contact post 12 to reset by its own elastic deformation. The contact post 12 drives the medication tube 13 back to the initial position. The medication tube 13 pulls the contact block 4 to reset synchronously through the connecting rod 5. Afterward, the external pipeline can be connected through the connecting pipe 6 to rinse and clean the medication channels such as the installation tube 7 and the medication tube 13. The return spring 9 is a special spring for water immersion and can directly contact the cleaning liquid. After cleaning, the medication dispenser can be properly stored.
