Description

The invention relates to a device for spraying solutions of pesticides and can be used in veterinary medicine for treating cattle with solutions of insectoacaricides and repellents in order to protect against attack by gnats and other parasitic insects and ticks.

The effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and safety of using insectoacaricides and repellents against gnats and other ectoparasites largely depends on the methods of their use and the technique used for this. In modern veterinary supplies there are practically no stationary spraying devices available for mass use in grazing conditions of animal husbandry.

To date, a number of boom sprayers designed for agriculture are known, which are a boom on which a spraying device is installed. Most of these sprayers are designed to protect plants from pests and introduce pesticides into the soil [1-5]. A common disadvantage of these devices is the complexity of the assembly structure. In addition, none of the described devices has the compactness, ease of transportation, ease of maintenance, and relative autonomy necessary for use on remote forest pastures.

To carry out systematic treatments of animals, an animal sprayer was developed [6–9], a universal spraying unit that does not have a lower branch for treating the breast and groin of animals [10], horizontal spray rods (SHGR) [11] and universal horizontal spray rods (SHGRU) ) [12].

The aim of the invention is to improve the quality of spraying the hairline of animals with aqueous solutions of insectoacaricides and repellents, simplifying the assembly and use of spraying equipment in pasture conditions, increasing the durability of the use of the main elements of the installation.

This is achieved by the fact that the proposed installation for spraying animals is located in the gate, while the lower branch of the boom is hung with two brackets or clamps on the board installed “on the edge” from the side opposite to the one from which the animals go, at a height of 10-15 cm above the surface of the earth, which, firstly, excludes animals from stepping directly onto the rod itself, secondly, the rod does not become contaminated and dries up almost immediately after processing, and therefore, is less susceptible to corrosion, and thirdly, it is alive tnye forced to step over the pole board installed, thereby opening remote places for processing (prosternum, axillary and inguinal region).

In FIG. 1 shows a spray device, FIG. 2 is a wiring diagram of two rod branches, in FIG. 3 - vortex pump with a container for working solutions (emulsions) mounted on a tubular frame, in FIG. 4 - spraying animals against midges from the proposed device.

The animal spraying installation consists of 2 plastic water pipes with fittings, 10 nozzles, a polyvinyl hose connecting with a ball check valve, a pressure hose, a pump (an electric pump in the presence of electricity or a motor pump in remote and forest pastures) vortex with a tank for working solutions ( emulsions) mounted on a tubular frame.

Sprayers consist of a base 3 in the form of a rounded plate with holes 4 for a coupling ladder or a longitudinal plate with a width equal to the outer diameter of the pipes (rod branches), into which two guide pipes 2 with cutouts 11 are pressed, a gasket 1 between the base and the supporting pipe (branch), plate with nozzle hole 6; a gasket with cutouts for the tangential channels and the swirl chamber 5 between the base 3 and the plate with the nozzle hole 6 and the nozzle cover 7 with a diffuser hole 8 and holes for the tie-rod 9. All parts of the spray gun are fastened together and with a support pipe (rod branch) with using a coupling ladder with 12 nuts 10. A turbulence chamber is formed in the atomizer, into which the liquid enters in two tangential flows from the carrier pipe, swirls and is thrown out through the nozzle hole in the form of one a conical flare.

The rod of the animal processing plant consists of two branches - the upper 4 and the lower 10, interconnected by a rubber-fabric or polyvinyl sleeve 7 2.5 m long. Each of the branches is a plastic water pipe with a nominal diameter of UD - 15 mm, 2.15 m long, passing at each end into fittings for pressure head 1, connecting 7 and short segments of the damped sleeve 2, with the help of which the rods are connected respectively to the pump and to each other, and the last is drowned out during the spraying of animals and only opens A washing bars. A ball check valve 8 is mounted in the connecting sleeve closer to the lower end. Five centrifugal nozzles 5 are installed directly on each branch (pipe) at a distance of 50 cm from each other.

The bar is installed in the gate 2 m wide intended for the exit of animals from the pen into the pasture. In this case, the lower branch is fixed over the entire width of the gate to the board, installed on the ground (floor) “on the edge” from the outside, not visible by the animals coming out of the corral, using two stepladders 11 with the corresponding set of washers and nuts at a height of 10-15 cm in such a way that the spray torches used emulsions are directed up and forward along the processed animals.

The upper branch is also fixed on the board, installed "edge" at a height of 160-170 cm so that the spray torches used emulsion were directed down and also forward along the animals. The nozzles in the plates of all extreme nozzles are drilled beveled to the middle, as a result of which better processing of animals passing at the edge of the gate is provided.

When passing through the gates of animals at the same time to the pre-filled rods through the discharge hose from the pumping unit with a vortex pump under a pressure of 0.3 MPa, a working emulsion is fed, which, being sprayed from all sprayers, is evenly distributed in small droplets on the hairline of passing animals.

Two ball valves are provided in the pump installation: from one of them, the working emulsion, under the control of the pressure gauge, is sent to the spraying rods for processing animals, and from the second, back to the container for mixing the solution. These taps are also used to control the pressure and flow rate of the solutions used.

The animal processing unit provides for medium-volume spraying at the rate of 500 ml of solution (emulsion) for cows and 250 ml for young cattle or small-volume spraying, respectively, of 100 and 50 ml, depending on the size of the nozzle holes in the plates used in sprayers .

Carried out during several summer seasons, production tests of the animal spraying installation showed that treatment of a herd of 150-200 cows with an insecticide water emulsion is carried out, on average, in 3-5 minutes (Fig. 4), and the installation itself, subject to the necessary operating rules, without I worked on complaints during the summer season, maintenance during the next 2-3 summer seasons consisted only in washing the rod branches and sprayers and the possible replacement of polyvinyl hoses.
