Description

Neutering devices for livestock

[0001] The present invention relates to a neutering device for livestock.

[0002] Conventional livestock neutering work, especially goat neutering work, has the disadvantage of requiring a lot of manpower and time, such as at least three workers manually holding the goat's legs to neuter it or placing the goat in a simple livestock neutering frame to neuter it.

[0003] At this time, there are many inconveniences and problems such as the work not being smooth or smooth due to the struggle in the process of tying up the goat, the labor being consumed a lot, and the work time being delayed in the process of putting the goat in the livestock neutering frame and fixing it.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention, proposed to solve the above-described problems, is to provide a neutering device for livestock, into which livestock can enter on their own and into which castration for neutering can be easily performed.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-described technical task, the present invention provides a neutering device for livestock, comprising: a main body (110) having an internal space into which a livestock to be neutered can enter, and having a lower surface, a front surface, and a back surface; an opening (140) provided in an area adjacent to the back surface of the lower surface and open so that the genitals of the livestock to be neutered can be exposed; and a pressing portion (160) mounted on the main body, extending from an area adjacent to the front of the main body in the direction of the back surface, and pressing the buttocks area of ​​the livestock to be neutered.

[0006] According to the present invention, since livestock naturally enters the livestock neutering device on its own and is pressed down by the pressing part to immobilize the livestock, the input of many workers for neutering is not required, and even one worker can perform the operation, thereby reducing labor and providing the effects of ease and convenience in the operation.

[0007] In addition, during the neutralization process, the device is fixed vertically on the ground by a stand, so that the area to be neutralized is exposed at the bottom, and then the neutralization process is performed, which has the advantage of being convenient and easy to perform.

[0008] In addition, since the livestock can walk out of the livestock neutering device on their own even after the neutering process is completed, the worker can complete the neutering process smoothly and easily, and the work time is shortened compared to the existing neutering process, and productivity is improved.

[0009] In addition, it can prevent livestock that require treatment, such as suturing wounds or treating fractures, from moving during the treatment process, allowing for stable treatment, and at the same time shortening the treatment time, which has the effect of minimizing the stress on livestock during treatment.

[0020] Fig. 10 is an exemplary drawing showing the bottom surface of the livestock neutering device illustrated in Fig. 6.

[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0022] First, the livestock neutering device according to the present invention includes a main body (110) having an internal space into which a livestock to be neutered can enter, and having a lower surface (111), a front surface (113), and a back surface (112), an opening portion (140) provided in a region of the lower surface adjacent to the back surface and open so that the genitals of the livestock to be neutered can be exposed, and a pressing portion (160) mounted on the main body and extending from a region adjacent to the front surface (113) of the main body toward the back surface (112) and pressing the livestock (200) to be neutered, particularly pressing the buttocks area.

[0023] For example, the body may have a hexahedral shape, but it may also be formed in various other shapes.

[0024] The top surface of the body may be closed, but may also be open.

[0025] An opening (140) may be formed on the lower surface so that the genitals of the livestock placed in the internal space of the main body can be exposed through the opening (140).

[0026] Next, one side of the pressing part (160) is rotatably mounted on the upper side of the area adjacent to the front of the main body, and the other side of the pressing part extends in the rear direction, and the other side of the pressing part can press a part of the livestock to be neutered, and can press the upper part of the livestock, particularly the buttocks part.

[0027] To this end, the pressing part (160) may include a first support member (161) rotatably mounted on a support bar (150) protruding from the left side of the main body or the left side of the main body, a second support member (162) rotatably mounted on a support bar (150) protruding from the right side of the main body or the right side of the main body, a pressing plate (163) connected to a portion of the first support member and the second support member corresponding to the back and hips of the livestock placed in the internal space, and a fixing member mounted on the main body, pressing an area of ​​the pressing part adjacent to the back to prevent the pressing plate from rising, and having at least one fixing bar.

[0028] That is, the first support and the second support may be rotatably mounted on the support bar (150), and may be rotatably mounted directly on the left and right sides of the main body.

[0029] The pressing plate (163) may be provided continuously along the first support and the second support, but may be provided only in a portion corresponding to the buttocks of the livestock, or may be provided only in a portion corresponding to the buttocks and part of the back of the livestock.

[0030] Next, the fixing part may include a first fixing bar (164a) having one side rotatably mounted on the left side of the main body, the other side connected to an area adjacent to the back surface of the first support (161), and including at least two cylinders so that the length can be varied, and a second fixing bar (164b) having one side rotatably mounted on the right side of the main body, the other side connected to an area adjacent to the back surface of the second support (162), and including at least two cylinders so that the length can be varied.

[0031] In this case, the first fixed bar and the second fixed bar may be rotatably connected to the support bar (150).

[0032] The first fixing bar (164a) may further include a first fastening portion for fixing the positions of the at least two cylinders, and the second fixing bar (164b) may further include a second fastening portion for fixing the positions of the at least two cylinders.

[0033] For example, the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion may be screws fastened to two cylinders that overlap each other.

[0034] The above pressing plate may have a round shape so as to be in close contact with the back and buttocks of the livestock placed in the internal space.

[0035] The above press plate may be formed of a material such as metal, but may also be formed of a material such as leather.

[0036] Next, the pressing part (160) can be mounted on the left and right sides of the main body so that the front direction of the main body is high and the back direction of the main body is low, and in this case, it can be raised and lowered along the left and right sides of the main body.

[0037] In this case, the pressing part can be automatically raised and lowered by a hydraulic device, and can also be raised and lowered by a mechanical device such as a gear.

[0038] In addition, as another embodiment of the pressing part, it is mounted on the main body and extends from an area adjacent to the front of the main body in the rear direction, and may be configured with a hydraulic device or a mechanical device so that the entire pressing part can be raised and lowered in an elevator manner to press the rump part of the livestock to be neutered, and to prevent the livestock from moving, as shown in FIG. 5.

[0039] Next, a lower opening door (141) that opens and closes the opening (140) can be mounted on the opening (140).

[0040] Next, at least one of the back side or the front side may be equipped with an entrance door (120, 130) that opens and closes to allow livestock to enter and exit.

[0041] For example, a rear door (120) may be mounted only on the rear surface, a front door (130) may be mounted only on the front surface, or both the rear door and the front door may be mounted.

[0042] In particular, since it is not common for livestock to walk backwards due to their natural nature, both rear entrance doors and front entrance doors can be installed to allow the livestock to progress naturally.

[0043] Next, the back surface may be equipped with supports (180) that serve as supports when the back surface rotates toward the ground.

[0044] For example, four supports can be installed. That is, the supports can act as levers. Accordingly, the operator can use the supports to vertically erect the livestock neutering device illustrated in Fig. 2, as illustrated in Fig. 3.

[0045] Finally, the body may be equipped with at least one wheel (190) and at least one handle (170).

[0046] For example, for convenience of movement, the main body may be equipped with two wheels (190) and two handles may be equipped.

[0047] These wheels (190) are components that provide a function of rotating about the wheel axle when a force is applied to lift the main body to stand it up on the handle, and provide the effect of saving labor by allowing the main body to be erected with less labor compared to the labor-intensive task of erecting the main body in the absence of the wheels (190).

[0048]

[0049] Below, a method for performing a neutering operation using a neutering device for livestock according to the present invention is briefly described.

[0050] First, livestock can enter the interior space of the livestock neutering device on their own through the rear door in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. 1.

[0051] Next, the worker can erect the livestock neutering device vertically on the ground as shown in FIGS. 3, 8, and 9.

[0052] Next, the worker can neutralize the genitals of the livestock exposed through the opening (140) using the neutralization device (300) as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 10.

[0053] Next, the worker can lay the livestock neutering device back on the ground, as shown in Figure 4.

[0054] Finally, when the worker opens the front door, the livestock can naturally exit the livestock neutering device on its own, following the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 4.

[0055] Accordingly, the neutralization process can be simply terminated.

[0056] Below, further features of the present invention are described.

[0057] First, as shown in FIG. 5, the pressing part (160) can be mounted on the left and right sides of the main body so that the height in the front direction of the main body and the height in the back direction of the main body are the same, and in this case, it can be raised and lowered along the left and right sides of the main body.

[0058] In this case, the pressing part can be automatically raised and lowered by a hydraulic device, and can also be raised and lowered by a mechanical device such as a gear.

[0059] In this case, the pressing plate may be provided only in the part corresponding to the buttocks of the livestock, or may be provided in the part corresponding to the buttocks and back.

[0060] Second, the fixed part may include one fixed bar (164). In this case, the fixed bar (164) may be rotatably mounted on the back surface of the main body, as illustrated in FIG. 7.

[0061] When the above pressing plate (163) presses the buttocks of the livestock, the fixing bar (164) can press the pressing plate (163) in the rear direction of the main body, as shown in Fig. 7. Accordingly, the buttocks of the livestock can be pressed against the opening.

[0062] The above fixed bar (164) may be mounted so as to be detachable from the back surface.

[0063] That is, when the worker needs to press the press plate (163), the fixing bar (164) can be mounted between the back surface and the press plate.

[0064] However, as described above, the fixed bar may be rotatably mounted on the back surface.

[0065] To elaborate, the fixing member may include a first fixing bar (164a) and a second fixing bar (164b), as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, or may include one fixing bar (164) mounted on the back, as shown in FIG. 7.

[0066] Third, when the first fixed bar and the second fixed bar are driven hydraulically, the first fixed part and the second fixed part may not be provided with separate fastening parts.

[0067] Fourth, two guide parts (121) for guiding the rump of the livestock may be further provided on the back surface of the main body or the back entrance door (120).

[0068] That is, even if the livestock's buttocks are positioned on the dorsal side, if the buttocks are tilted toward one side of the dorsal side, the livestock's genitals may not be normally exposed through the opening.

[0069] The width of the two guide parts (121) may be formed to be slightly larger than the width of the livestock's buttocks, and the two guide parts may be provided so that an opening is placed between the two guide parts.

[0070] Therefore, when the livestock's buttocks are placed between the two guides, the livestock's genitals can be naturally exposed through the opening.

[0071] Fifth, the opening portion (140) may be equipped with a lower opening door (141) that opens and closes the opening portion (140), but the opening portion may not be equipped with a lower opening door.

[0072] Sixth, at least one support member for supporting the rear door may be mounted on the outer surface of the rear door.

[0073] When the rear door is folded toward the outside of the main body and the rear door is opened, the rear door can be tilted at a certain angle by at least one support member mounted at the end of the rear door.

[0074] In this case, livestock can use the back door as a stepping stone to naturally enter the interior space of the main body.

[0075] At least one support member for supporting the front door may also be mounted on the outer surface of the front door.

[0076] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without altering its technical spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims below rather than the detailed description above, and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents should be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention.
