Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of animal detection, in particular to a device for measuring the length and weight of an animal. Background Art

[0002] Body length and weight are important biological indicators of animals. At present, the body length and weight of animals are generally not measured synchronously. When measuring the body length of an animal, a ruler can generally be used. The animal is placed on a flat ground or operating table, and its posture is adjusted. After it stops moving, it is quickly measured, read, and recorded at close range. When measuring the weight of an animal, an electronic scale or a beam scale is generally used. However, the traditional method requires adjusting the body posture of the animal. On the one hand, the animal may not cooperate with the placement during the measurement process, and the measurement value cannot be very accurate. On the other hand, aggressive animals such as giant salamanders may try to escape or attack the measurer during the measurement process.

[0003] A Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN203719589U discloses a device for measuring the body length of an urodendron, which can be used to easily measure the body length of a small urodendron by placing it in the device. However, this device can only measure the body length of some animals. When it is necessary to obtain the weight data of the animal to be measured, other weighing methods need to be selected, which is very inconvenient in specific use.

[0004] In response to the above problems, a Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN218724625U discloses a device for measuring the body length and weight of fish. When in use, the device clamps the fish with a clamp, measures the body length of the fish twice at the head and tail using an infrared measuring device, and measures the weight of the fish using a weight sensor at the bottom of the measuring box. This device can only measure the body length and weight of some fish, and cannot clamp and fix other animals well. It has poor adaptability in actual use and may cause inaccuracies when measuring some other animals. Utility Model Content
