Definitions
- the invention relates to an at least two-part insemination set for artificial insemination of farm animals, especially pigs, comprising a insemination catheter with a catheter shaft consisting of a plastic tube with a thickening at the distal end, and on the Counterpart to this, namely a sperm tube with a dispensing spout Recording the sperm to be applied.
- the insemination catheter has one distal end that is inserted into the animal's vagina and a proximal end End at which the sperm tube is attached.
- the usual insemination catheter consists of an approximately 50 cm long Plastic pipe with an outer diameter of 7 mm and an inner diameter of 5 mm, which at its distal tip matches the anatomy of the Pig's matched thickened head, especially a foam body, having.
- the tubes are usually made of a flexible tube Plastic, especially made of low density polyethylene, with a filling volume in the order of up to 100 ml.
- the tube and the catheter are coupled by placing in the rear, proximal tube end of the in situ insemination catheter the spout of the Spermatube is inserted after the tip of the spout has been separated, and the tube contents are applied through the catheter.
- the innovation aims to hold the sperm tube at the proximal end of the catheter be relieved. This is achieved in that on the inner wall of the catheter shaft in the area of its proximal end from the cylindrical shape different shapes are formed to hold the dispensing spout of the tube and / or that undercut surface shapes on the outer wall of the dispensing spout to hold the dispensing nozzle in the area of the proximal End of the catheter shaft are formed.
- Such measures result in an especially positive hold of the delivery spout of the tube in the catheter shaft and thus a sufficiently stable hold that the inseminator handling of the insemination process, especially with a longer one Application made easier.
- a preferred deformation for manufacturing reasons is that an internal thread for a short distance into the proximal end of the catheter shaft, is incised. With suitable material design and design of the Threads as pointed threads then do not need the sperm tube dispensing spout The thread of the catheter shaft to be specially machined even when screwing in the dispensing spout on this a complementary change in shape.
- a suitable material comparison is polypropylene / polyethylene.
- the polyethylene as the material for the tube is sufficiently elastic to cling to the threads and is also sperm compatible, easy to work with, for example by a heat pulse process, an infrared process or easily sealed by ultrasonic welding.
- polypropylene is harder and, on top of that, bendable with good Buckling strength.
- Hard PVC in itself could also be considered, but this has one poor kink resistance.
- the thread can vary depending on the inside diameter of the shaft z.
- B. be a standard M6 thread with a thread pitch in the order of 1 mm and a thread depth in the Magnitude of 0.6 mm.
- the length the dispensing spout is 28 mm - 10 to 20 mm wide in the catheter shaft be incised.
- the internal thread length should not be the length of the Exceed dispensing spout because there is a smooth inner catheter wall beyond its mouth is to be preferred.
- each catheter is intended for single use only, the Attachment of the shape deviation, especially the thread, not a big one Require effort.
- the thread is inserted into the polypropylene catheter tube with the help of a metal mandrel with threading combs, with a mandrel diameter of 5 mm and with a distance of 1 mm between the Comb, cut.
- the resulting chips are removed with the Unscrew the metal bolt again.
- the process is easy automate, which is advantageous for the implementation of the invention.
- the deviating ones Shapes can also be formed by other designs, for example by Single projections, which press a small area on surface parts of the Exercise the tax spout, thereby deforming and holding it; or through complementary shapes such as recess and projection, which on the one hand on the inner wall of the catheter shaft and on the other hand on the Are formed outside of the dispensing spout and by elastic deformation snap together; or by barbs that sit on the dispensing spout.
- US Pat. No. 2,106,635 A can also be used as an insemination catheter Described catheter, the one on its proximal end Grooving to hold a rubber hose or the like that leads to a Liquid discharge point leads, is formed. This corrugation on the outside, mainly for the connection of a feed of a rinsing liquid is thought to give no suggestion in the sense of stabilizing the hold of one in the sperm tube to be inserted.
- an insemination catheter 1 For artificial insemination of one in Fig. 1 based on a sectional view indicated pig is an insemination catheter 1, which comes from a catheter shaft 2 and a molded body 3 seated at its distal tip, inserted into the pig's vagina 4 up to the cervix 5.
- the catheter community consists of an approximately 50 cm long tube made of polypropylene with a Outside diameter of 7 mm, a wall thickness of 1 mm and an inside diameter of 5 mm.
- the sperm to be applied are brought up in a sperm tube 9.
- the sperm tubes 9 each consist of a container part 10 and a dispensing spout 11.
- the entire sperm tube has 9 a length of 172 mm.
- the dispensing spout 11 is 28 mm long and light tapered by having an outer diameter at its base of 5 mm and has an outer diameter of 3 mm at its tip.
- the Dispensing spout 11 is closed at the front at the top. Closes at the top towards the front an approximately hammer-shaped widening 13 (FIG.
- the spout 11, the yes Dispensing the tube contents is hollow inside, while the closure body 13 is massive.
- the parts 10, 11 and 13 together form a one-piece flexible plastic injection molding, an element made using blowing technology or an element produced in a combined injection-blowing process Low density polyethylene.
- the internal thread 15 is an internal thread 15 in the proximal end 14 of the catheter shaft 2, namely a pointed thread, cut.
- the internal thread has an axial one Length in the order of 10 to 15 mm and is according to that Inner diameter of an M6 thread, with a diameter of the thread crest of practically 5 mm.
- the dispensing spout 11 is initially until Stop pushed in and then screwed in further, using the soft grommet material is displaced by the threads and by elastic Shape change in the tube-near half of the spout 11 a temporary Counter thread forms through which the sperm tube 9 is held on the insemination catheter 1 is adequately ensured. It has been shown that also by hitting the pig tail with the tube attached in this way 9 is not knocked out of the catheter 1.
- the M6 thread standard has been chosen for the special pig insemination set proven to be very effective. However, it is not the only one Possible execution. Depending on the pipe diameter, on the Wall thickness and the materials, but also with the dimensioning described can also deviate thread dimensions, for example non-metric threads and other thread pitches, to a sufficient Lead fixation.
- Possibilities that use other means than thread are in the Fig.n. 4 to 6 shown. 4 stand from the inner wall of the catheter shaft 2 protrusions 19 before that according to the preferred illustrated manner four are in number, but could also be three or a single ring projection could be.
- the projections 19 are dimensioned so that they Push in the dispensing spout 11, compressing the spout material in the case of discrete protrusions in the spaces between them and wrinkles in the case of a single ring projection.
- the return spring force the deformed dispensing spout 11 ensures sufficient static friction, to prevent the sperm tube 9 from falling out.
- the two parts to be coupled have complementary parts Shapes for the purpose of snapping together.
- a trough-shaped annular groove 21 is formed, and on one in the complete Insert position of the dispensing spout 11 is opposite point of this spout an annular bead 22 is formed or are spaced along a circumferential circle seated pimples formed.
- the dispensing nozzle 11 When inserting it is first on the Mouth of the catheter shaft 2, the dispensing nozzle 11 is compressed somewhat, and so that there is no inhibition here, the annular bead 22 is to the side of the Spout tip with a conical-oblique transition area 23 sufficient Provided on the blunt side.
