RU218623U1 - SCRAPER BRUSH FOR CLEANING AUTOMATIC DRINKING BOWLS FOR HORSES AND CATTLE - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to the field of zootechnics, the section of zoohygiene, which ensures the protection of the health of farm animals. Zoohygiene of farm animals is a field of veterinary science about the protection of animal health by rational methods of feeding, keeping, rearing and caring for them, in which animals can give maximum productivity due to heredity. It is known that only from a healthy animal it is possible to obtain a healthy offspring, the highest productivity at its low cost. In order to prevent infectious diseases in industrial animal husbandry, special attention is paid to the issues of veterinary and sanitary control over the conditions of animals, in particular feeding and watering. It is feeders and drinkers that are vulnerable places in which various pathogenic microorganisms often develop. Therefore, their hygiene is extremely important to maintain good animal health. In most modern farms and equestrian complexes, cup automatic drinkers are used. Animals often drink water from drinkers after they have consumed feed, which causes food leftovers, as well as bedding straw and fecal particles, to be brought into the drinker, as animals, and especially horses, tend to sniff and eat feces. This leads to fairly rapid contamination of the drinkers. In addition, drinkers, like any container of water, tend to become covered with mucus containing pathogens, which also needs to be cleaned. The number of cattle farms, for example, ABH Miratorg, can contain more than 500 heads, and on horse complexes, for example, Maxima Stables, more than 100 heads. With such a large population, it is very difficult to maintain the hygiene of feeders and drinkers, as it takes a lot of time and effort. Because of this, farm personnel often neglect the established norms and skip cleaning drinkers and feeders. Our scrubbing brush model helps to simplify and speed up the process of cleaning automatic drinking bowls. The scraper brush improves the efficiency of cleaning drinkers, thereby preventing heavy contamination of drinkers, which contribute to the development of pathogenic microorganisms and fungi on the surface of drinkers, saves water spent on washing drinkers with rags, saves staff time, encourages employees to clean drinkers more often, since the process is significantly faster and less dirty hands, as well as extend the life of the drinkers.

Description

The utility model relates to the field of zootechnics, the section of zoohygiene, which ensures the protection of the health of farm animals. Zoohygiene of farm animals is a field of veterinary science about the protection of animal health by rational methods of feeding, keeping, rearing and caring for them, in which animals can give maximum productivity due to heredity. It is known that only from a healthy animal it is possible to obtain a healthy offspring, the highest productivity at its low cost. Zoohygiene studies the influence of external factors on the organism of agricultural animals: conditions of keeping, feeding, growing, exploitation and care. On this basis, specialists develop recommendations that contribute to high productivity, elimination and mitigation of adverse environmental influences that impair their health. If it is impossible to create a healthy environment for animals, it is impossible to talk about the reality of maintaining their health and obtaining high productivity from them. In such cases, the natural resistance of animals, especially highly productive and newborns, decreases, which most often leads to the development of pathologies, that is, the occurrence of diseases.

Veterinary and sanitary experts carry out mass events aimed at maintaining the well-being of the entire herd: preventing the introduction into or out of the farm of pathogens of infectious and parasitic diseases and the creation of conditions that exclude the contact of a pathogenic pathogen with the animal's body. In order to prevent infectious diseases in industrial animal husbandry, special attention is paid to the issues of veterinary and sanitary control over the conditions of animals, in particular feeding and watering. It is feeders and drinkers that are vulnerable places in which various pathogenic microorganisms often develop. Therefore, their hygiene is extremely important to maintain good animal health. In most modern farms and equestrian complexes, cup automatic drinkers are used. Animals often drink water from drinkers after eating food, which causes leftover feed, as well as bedding straw and fecal particles, to be brought into the drinker, as animals, and especially horses, tend to sniff and eat feces. This leads to fairly rapid contamination of the drinkers. In addition, drinkers, like any container with water, tend to be covered with mucus containing pathogens, which must also be cleaned off. On a modern cattle farm, for example, ABH Miratorg, more than 500 heads can be kept, and on horse complexes, for example, Maxima Stables, more than 100 heads. With such a large population, it is very difficult to maintain the hygiene of feeders and drinkers, as it takes a lot of time and effort. Because of this, farm personnel often neglect the established norms and skip cleaning drinkers and feeders. Our scrubbing brush model helps to simplify and speed up the process of cleaning automatic drinking bowls.

The principle and essence of the proposed utility model of a brush-scraper for cleaning automatic cup drinkers for cattle and horses is as follows.

The brush-scraper has a semicircular shape, consists of pile, block and handle. A rigid bristle made of artificial material velypropylene is attached along the edge-arc. Velypropylene is a mixture of polypropylene and high pressure polyethylene. It withstands boiling, is resistant to acids and alkalis, has considerable elasticity and strength. The product will use black synthetic bristles with a diameter of 0.5 mm. Unlike natural bristles, synthetic bristles are smoother, have no pores, and are considered more hygienic and durable.

The base of the brush is made of durable gray plastic with a rough surface.

There is a 12 cm long rectangular hole in the center of the product, which allows you to use the flat side as a handle. The palm of an average man or woman will freely pass into such a hole. The very same brush-scraper has a length of 23 cm (taking into account the length of the pile of 3 cm). The height of the product is 15 cm (taking into account the pile length of 3 cm), and the thickness is 3 cm. The optimal dimensions of automatic drinkers for cattle and horses are: length 24 cm, width 25 cm, depth 15 cm. A thickness of 3 cm gives design strength and allows you to comfortably hold the brush by the handle. Also attached to the brush is a removable scraper made of durable rubber with a thickness of 3.5 mm. The scraper allows you to capture the remaining water and dirt and push them out of the drinker. Thus, with a couple of simple banishing movements on the drinker, farm employees can quickly and efficiently clean dirty drinkers.

The utility model provides an increase in the efficiency of cleaning drinking bowls. Thus, preventing severe contamination of drinkers, which contribute to the development of pathogenic microorganisms and fungi on the surface of drinkers, save water spent on washing drinkers with rags, save staff time, encourage employees to clean drinkers more often, as the process is significantly accelerated and less dirty hands, and also prolong drinking bowl service life.

Known cleaning drinkers by means of conventional rags. This method is cheaper, but has significant drawbacks: more effort is needed to clean dried dirt, it is more difficult to wash a rag after use, and the material wears out faster.

Known cleaning drinkers using standard oval brushes. This method requires less expenses for the purchase of brushes, but also has a number of disadvantages: it is much less convenient to clean bowl-shaped drinkers with a brush due to the shape of the brush itself, the absence of a scraper allows dirt particles to remain in the drinkers with water residue, as they pass through the bristles.

Known cleaning using a high pressure washer. This method effectively removes various contaminants, but is expensive and has limited mobility.

The proposed utility model has advantages over known models.

Compared to a regular rag, this model provides faster cleaning of the drinkers, saves time when cleaning the drinker from strong and dried-on dirt, has a significantly longer service life, stains the hands of employees less, and more harmful microorganisms settle on the rag. In addition, the rag needs frequent and thorough washing.

Unlike a conventional oval brush, the scraper brush has a semicircular shape, which contributes to quick and high-quality cleaning of bowl-shaped drinkers. Not all conventional brushes have handles, our model solves this problem with a comfortable wide handle. The scraper increases the efficiency of cleaning, as it allows you to remove residual water with dirt.

Unlike a high-pressure washer, a scraper brush requires significantly less cost and also has incomparably greater mobility, since the washer has limited mobility due to the hose and wire. Our model also consumes less water.

The task to be solved by the present utility model is to increase the level of zoohygienic indicators of drinkers, due to more thorough and simplified cleaning of cup automatic drinkers with a brush-scraper.

This problem is solved by the fact that to increase the level of zoohygienic indicators of automatic cup drinkers for cattle and horses, a special brush-scraper is used. It has a semi-circular shape, corresponding to the shape of the drinkers, has a solid design with a comfortable handle, as well as a semi-circular scraper, which allows you to wash out the remaining water with dirt from the drinkers.
