Abstract
A design is an apparatus for protecting dairy cows against mastitis by enabling rapid closure of the ends of the teats, which remain open for at least two hours after milking, to prevent them from being exposed to bacteria.
Claims2
An electrical apparatus for dipping teat into antiseptic characterized by;
- a negative electrode, mounted on an upper handle to determine a muscle margin to which an electrical signal will be sent and to complete a circuit by receiving a signal from the negative electrode,
- an immersion chamber containing an antiseptic stagnant liquid in which the teat with a target muscles of a milked animal is placed,
- an overflow channel transferring the antiseptic stagnant liquid in antiseptic liquid compartment to the immersion chamber by elevating its level through mechanical stress,
- an outer body providing protection against external impacts while ensuring that a positive electrode works together with the negative electrode, the immersion chamber, and the overflow channel,
- a battery compartment, which houses batteries that provide the energy required by an electronic card in a fixed and stable manner,
- the electronic card, which produces electronic signals and control the process, with six different patterns with adjustable current between 0.001 and 1 A, voltage between 1.5 and 50V and frequency between 1-100 Hz,
- a card slot attached to the body where the electronic card is housed,
- the antiseptic liquid compartment made of soft plastic that allows the transfer of antiseptic liquid it contains into the immersion chamber through the overflow channel via manual pressure.
