Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of artificial insemination animal. More particularly, the invention relates to a machine for manufacturing a set consisting of a semi-rigid plastic straw filled with animal semen in a flexible plastic sheath and method for such manufacturing.
- Sequins are widely used for the preservation of small quantities of substances, in particular biological substances, in particular liquids organic, such as animal seed.
- Document GB-A 2094768 describes a machine for assembling a straw filled with animal semen in an artificial insemination device including a feeding system of glitter and contains the characteristics of the preamble of the claim 1.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to have a device allowing the introduction of a semi-rigid plastic straw filled with seed animal in a flexible plastic sheath fitted with a guide sleeve glitter without contamination of the sheath and the glitter.
- Another object of the present invention is to have a device allowing the introduction of a semi-rigid plastic straw filled with seed animal in a flexible plastic sheath fitted with a guide sleeve glitter to avoid any loss of seed during the introduction.
- Another object of the invention is to have a device allowing the introduction of a semi-rigid plastic straw filled with seed animal in a flexible plastic sheath fitted with a guide sleeve glitter to avoid twisting and / or crushing the glitter in the plug area.
- the present invention meets these objects and proposes such a device, which is a machine for manufacturing an assembly consisting of a material flake semi-rigid plastic filled with animal semen in a plastic sheath flexible fitted with a guide sleeve, as set out in claim 1.
- the rotating positioning system allows the individualization of a glitter and sheath relative to feeding systems, guiding sheath / straw and inserting the straw by means of the pusher system, and ejecting the associated sheath-sequin assembly.
- the radial offset of the groove before positioning the sheath and the rear groove for positioning the sequin is provided to take account of the difference in diameter between the sheath and the glitter.
- the pusher system is, for example, a cylindrical spindle.
- An additional object of the present invention is to reduce the costs of workforce introducing a semi-rigid plastic straw filled with animal semen in a flexible plastic sheath fitted with a sleeve guiding the straw by increasing the placement rate of glitter in the sheath.
- the machine of the invention comprises in in addition, in a preferred embodiment, a drive mechanism for the rotational positioning system and / or a drive mechanism for the push system.
- the machine of the invention further comprises both a drive mechanism for the rotational positioning system and a drive mechanism for the push system
- Such a machine according to the invention allows a minimum autonomy of 1 hour without supervision.
- the machine of the invention advantageously comprises a receptacle, such as a receiving hopper, of the semi-rigid plastic straw assembly filled with animal seed-sheath in flexible plastic.
- the supply system of sleeving is a hopper.
- the straw supply system can for example be a hopper, a charger or cassette, or any other suitable system known to those skilled in the art job.
- the duct feeding system can for example be a hopper, a charger or cassette, or any other suitable system known to those skilled in the art job.
- the system of rotational positioning is chosen from barrels and belt systems notched, for example of the BINDER type, sold by the company BINDER, or any another suitable system known to those skilled in the art.
- Sheath feeding system and glitter feeding system are usually substantially adjacent.
- the machine according to the invention generally also comprises a support plate.
- the sheath In manual insertion, the sheath has its sleeve located towards the middle (longitudinally) of the glitter. In the process of the present invention, it is important to choose a sheath having its sleeve located near an orifice which is the glitter introduction orifice, so that the introduction of glitter into the sheath is performed correctly.
- the straw 1 provided with its cap 2 and filled with animal semen, shown in Figure 1 is intended to be introduced into the sheath 3 equipped with its sleeve 4, shown in Figure 2.
- the machine 5 comprises a duct feeding system 6, a system glitter feed 7, a rotational positioning system, which is a barrel 8, comprising two grooves, a sheath positioning groove, called groove front 9, and a glitter positioning groove, called rear groove 10, offset radially with respect to each other, a pusher system 11 cooperating with said rotational positioning system.
- the barrel 8 is driven by a system 14.
- the push system 11 is driven by a system 15.
- Figure 4 is an exterior view of the machine in operation, showing a sheath and a straw filled with animal semen positioned before introduction of the glitter in the sheath and a sheath / straw assembly constituted according to the invention.
- the sheath 3 is fed into the sheath supply system 6 and comes place on the front groove 9 of the barrel 8.
- the straw filled with animal semen 1 is fed into the system glitter supply 7 and is placed on the rear groove 10 of the barrel 8.
- the push system 11, driven by the drive mechanism 15, is actuated and engages on the rear part of the glitter, on the side of its cap 2.
- the straw 1 is introduced into the sheath 3 through the insertion opening of the glitter 12.
- the glitter engages in the sleeve 4 of the sheath 3, which is nearby, about 8 mm, from the opening of the straw 12.
- the sleeve 4 moves at the same time as the glitter under the action of the push system 11.
- the sheath / straw assembly 13 is then recovered.

Description
- la contamination de la gaine et de la paillette par les mains de l'opérateur,
- la perte de la semence animale lors de l'introduction de la paillette dans la gaine,
- possibilité d'introduction défectueuse de la paillette dans la gaine rendant l'ensemble gaine/paillette remplie inutilisable,
- risque de torsion et d'écrasement de la paillette dans la zone du bouchon (le manchon impose un mouvement de torsion à la paillette pouvant entraíner une déformation de cette dernière).
- alimentation de ladite gaine dans le système d'alimentation de gaines,
- alimentation de ladite paillette remplie dans le système d'alimentation de paillettes,
- actionnement du système poussoir afin d'introduire ladite paillette, par son extrémité opposée à son dit bouchon, dans ladite gaine par un orifice de ladite gaine, dit orifice d'introduction de la paillette,
- dégagement dudit système poussoir,
- rotation du système de positionnement en rotation pour éjecter ledit ensemble,
- récupération dudit ensemble,
