Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of basic data collection for poultry breeding, and particularly to a wall-mounted plank road and jump rod type breeding chicken measuring device. Background Art

[0002] The feed conversion rate has always been the focus of breeding chicken work. Feed intake and body weight are the core indicators of the feed conversion rate. Currently, the devices for measuring breeding chickens often have the situation that breeding chickens follow and enter the measuring mechanism, that is, multiple breeding chickens enter the measuring mechanism simultaneously to grab food. In addition, at the initial stage of breeding chicken measurement, due to the small size of breeding chickens and their characteristics of being agile and good at drilling through, it is more difficult to limit them to enter the measuring mechanism one by one. As a result, the data of feed intake and body weight are inaccurate, and the monitored feed conversion rate has no reference significance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides a jump rod type breeding chicken measuring device, which limits single breeding chickens to enter the measuring device and improves the stability and orderliness of breeding chickens entering the measuring area.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A jump rod type breeding chicken measuring device, including a frame. It is characterized in that a wall-mounted part is arranged on one side of the frame, and multiple jump rods parallel to the ground and increasing in height successively are arranged on the wall-mounted part to form an entrance plank road for entering the breeding chicken measuring area. One end face of each level of the multiple jump rods is fixed on the wall-mounted part, and the other end is suspended.

[0006] Advantageous Effects

[0007] The present invention adopts multiple jump rods parallel to the ground and increasing in height successively to form an entrance plank road for entering the breeding chicken measuring area. The width of the jump rods is only allowed to accommodate one chicken to stand. By restricting the standing space of the jump rods and squeezing another breeding chicken side by side to fall off the jump rods through force, single breeding chickens are limited to enter the measuring area. According to the physiological characteristics of breeding chickens being good at jumping in place, exclusivity is formed through the plank road jump rods and the wall-mounted wall. Through the form that the chicken claws firmly grasp the jump rods and gradually and steadily enter the measuring area, under the clamping of the height and width limited space of the measuring device, the breeding chicken cannot spread its wings in this area, and thus cannot jump onto the feeding rod or feeding trough from the ground or other abnormal entrances to feed, ensuring the stability of the measuring mechanism, the uniqueness and accuracy of the collected data.

[0008] In addition, a multi-functional electric rotating door is constructed on the left side of the last feeding station rod of the present invention, which can be used as a closing device for settlement at the end of the previous measurement event, a closing device for the feeding event, and a device for driving the chickens lying in the measuring station, so as to improve the use efficiency of the measuring station.

[0010] Figure 2 It is another structural schematic diagram of a wall-mounted plank road jump rod type breeding chicken measuring device provided by the present invention; Specific embodiments

[0011] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0012] A wall-mounted plank road jump rod type breeding chicken measuring device includes a frame 10. A wall mount 20 is provided on one side of the frame. Multiple jump rods 30 parallel to the ground and increasing in height in sequence are provided on the wall mount to form an entrance plank road to the breeding chicken measuring area. One end face of each level of the multiple jump rods is fixed on the wall mount, and the other end is suspended. The width of the multiple jump rods is only allowed to accommodate one chicken to stand. A feeding trough 40 is provided beside the suspended end of the last level of jump rod. When breeding chickens are feeding, there will be a situation where multiple breeding chickens enter the entrance jump rods at the same time to compete for food. If two breeding chickens jump and move forward side by side, due to the limitation of one breeding chicken near the fixed end of the multiple jump rods and the wall mount, the breeding chicken ranked near the suspended end of the multiple jump rods cannot expand more space to stand on the jump rod, and can only fall from the direction of the suspended end of the multiple jump rods or be squeezed off the jump rod by the breeding chicken side by side at the fixed end of the jump rod through force, so as to ensure that only one breeding chicken enters the measuring device for each feeding event, and effective and accurate breeding basic data can be collected. This open plank road jump rod has moderate feeding competition, making its free feeding data closer to the actual breeding environment.

[0013] A baffle 41 is provided beside the suspended end of the last level of jump rod 31 (i.e., the feeding station rod) to block the feeding trough and prevent multiple breeding chickens from directly flying to the measuring area of the feeding station rod when passing through the multiple jump rod plank road or the ground, further limiting the entry of a single breeding chicken into the measuring area.

[0014] The feeding station pole 31 is a multi-functional combined jump pole, which includes a weight sensor 32 fixed on the wall, a standing pole fixed above the weight sensor through a connecting piece, and a receiving cavity is arranged inside the standing pole to accommodate a vertical scanning antenna assembly for identifying the electronic tags worn by breeding chickens. A support frame 11 is fixedly arranged on the frame, and a feed weight sensor 42 and a feed trough are sequentially arranged on the support frame from bottom to top. When the breeding chicken stands on the feeding station pole, the scanning antenna assembly identifies the identity information of the breeding chicken, the weight sensor collects the weight of this identity breeding chicken this time, the feed weight sensor collects the feed intake of this identity breeding chicken this time, and the measurement station system collects the feeding data of all individuals when they enter the measurement equipment. After the measurement is completed, these data are collected into the management system database to form the ratio of the feed consumption and weight gain of all individuals and groups in this measurement stage to obtain the feed conversion efficiency. In the forward direction of the breeding chicken on the multi-level jump pole, the front of the feeding station pole is suspended. When the breeding chicken stretches its crooked neck into the feed trough beside the suspended end of the jump pole to finish feeding, the breeding chicken jumps off the feeding station pole and falls into the suspended place in front and exits from the chicken measurement equipment.

[0015] The electric rotating door mechanism on the left side of the last feeding station pole 31 includes a soft rubber plate 50 and a horizontal wing tag scanning antenna assembly fixed on it. The foot ring and wing tag RFID animal electronic tags are scanned through the above horizontal and vertical scanning antennas. A connecting piece 51 is arranged at the top of the rubber plate body, and a connecting rod 52 driven by a motor; the wall beside the fixed end of the feeding station pole is movably connected with the side of the soft rubber plate. The motor is arranged on the top of the chicken measurement equipment. Through the through hole at the top, the output shaft of the motor is connected to one end of the connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the connecting piece. The motor drives and controls the soft rubber plate to close. The surface of the soft rubber plate is parallel to the axis of the feeding station pole and is located above the feeding station pole; when the soft rubber plate is opened, the surface of the rubber plate fits with the wall.

[0016] A multi-functional electric rotating door is constructed on the left side of the last feeding station pole 31: Under normal circumstances, it serves as a settlement closing device at the end of the previous event to prevent the next event from entering the station in advance without completing the calculation of the previous feeding event. At the same time, when the measurement starts or the remaining feed in the feed trough is less than the minimum remaining feed at the end of the previous event, it is necessary to start feeding while keeping the feeding station closed and static to prevent the situation where the breeding chicken suddenly enters the station to feed during the incomplete feeding process, making it impossible to accurately weigh the feeding amount, ensuring that there is enough remaining feed for the following free feeding behavior, and affecting the uniqueness and accuracy of the data. After the above operations are completed, the rotating door resets and opens, waiting for the arrival of the next event.

[0017] The electric revolving door on the left side of the last level feeding station pole 31 is also the door for driving chickens away. Because chickens like to lie down in the nest, if this event is allowed to play freely, if the measuring station does not automatically intervene, it will inevitably cause the measuring station to be in a state of low utilization rate. In order to prevent this phenomenon from happening, the present invention provides a solution to solve the problem that chickens still lie down in the nest for a long time and occupy the measuring station when they have no feeding behavior. In the system, an over-limited time window for driving chickens is set according to the average feeding speed of the current breeder chickens. If the weight of the trough and the body scale of the breeder chickens do not change or shake when they reach the time window value for driving chickens away, the side-starting driving motor drives the chickens away from the measuring station by a soft driving method to end this feeding event. After the data collection is completed, if the remaining feed in the trough is less than the preset value at this time, the feeding motor is started to make up the set value to ensure that the free feeding has the most appropriate feed. The weight of the feed after adding the feed is weighed as the starting weight of the next event, and the driving door is returned to its position and opened again, waiting for the start of the next feeding event. If the time window value for driving away the chickens is not reached while the chickens are feeding at the station, the driving away event will not occur. At this time, the program will follow the settlement process. The chickens will jump away from the feeding station pole, and the electronic tags cannot be scanned in the measurement area and there is no body scale data. Then the door will be closed and the feeding data will be calculated. After the calculation or feeding event is completed, the revolving door will be reset and opened again.

[0018] Preferably, there is a lure box 6 between two adjacent rods of the multi-stage jumping rod, which can guide the breeder chickens to jump onto the feeding stand during training and collect basic data.

[0019] The front of the feeding station pole of the jumping-pole type breeding chicken measuring equipment is suspended, and a slope slide 7 is arranged below the suspension. The end of the slope slide is the exit of the jumping-pole type breeding chicken measuring equipment. The slope slide utilizes the fact that chickens cannot climb smooth slopes. The breeding chickens jump off the feeding station pole and fall into the slope slide. Since the breeding chickens cannot stand and stay, they can only go out of the chicken measuring equipment.

[0020] Preferably, the slope of the slope slide faces the multi-stage jump pole, and the frame surrounding the slope slide is closed by sealing plates on three sides except the exit, so that after the breeder chicken jumps off the feeding station pole, it falls into the higher position of the slope of the slope slide under the limit of the sealing plate, slides down the slope, and exits the chicken measuring device, so that the space utilization rate of the entrance space, the jumping space, and the exit space of the chicken measuring device is high.

[0021] Optionally, a spring-loaded one-way door 8 is provided at one end of the slope slide close to the ground, and a certain distance is preset between the door panels to prevent the breeder chickens from being pinched. The breeder chickens can only enter from the multi-stage jump pole entrance, and cannot jump from the one-way door to the multi-stage jump pole for feeding. The one-way door can also be a single door panel.

[0022] Several jumping-pole breeder chicken measuring devices are surrounded by a closed measuring pen. Two days before the formal start of the measurement, chickens of almost the same age and in accordance with the breeding chicken quantity requirements are put into the same closed measuring pen for pre-measurement training.

[0023] Training mode: Set on the control panel of the jumping-bar type breeding chicken measuring device. The jumping-bar type breeding chicken measuring device only replenishes feed when there is a shortage of feed and does not perform the operation of opening and closing the door to drive the chickens. At the same time, the operator adds a certain amount of feed to the induction box in the entrance passage from time to time as bait to guide the chickens. The chickens follow the bait box from the entrance until the feed trough, find the exit and slide down the inclined skateboard calmly to hit the door and go out. Through the control and management system statistics, if all the breeding chickens wearing electronic tags have their tags scanned when entering the measuring device to eat in these two days, it means that the training mode can end and turn to the formal measurement; if only less than 85% of the breeding chickens enter the station in these two days, on the one hand, the formal measurement time should be postponed by one day, and on the other hand, the delivery of the induction feed should be strengthened to ensure that the breeding chickens can only eat the induction feed on the multi-stage jumping-bar passage when entering the measuring device. If more than 99% of the breeding chickens can enter the measuring device and only a few breeding chickens cannot enter, do not wait for the breeding chickens that do not enter the measuring device later and start the formal measurement. Observe these breeding chickens that cannot adapt to the measuring equipment in the following days and manually eliminate them.

[0024] Formal measurement: After entering the formal measurement stage, the induction feed is no longer delivered. Due to the conditioned response of eating feed established by the previous guiding training, the breeding chickens enter and exit the measuring device normally. The breeding chickens jump onto the feeding station bar from the multi-stage jumping-bar entrance and stand. The feeding station bar can meet the needs of general chickens from chick measurement to finished chickens. The feeding port of the feed trough is relatively wide, and the breeding chickens will adjust their standing positions by themselves to eat nearby. During the feeding process, the system continuously scans and obtains the electronic tags and weights, collects the weight and feed intake data through the weighing sensor, and collects the identity information of this breeding chicken through the scanning antenna assembly. Since it is an inclined skateboard, the chicken cannot stand and stay, and the breeding chicken can only turn around and leave the station. If the breeding chicken leaves before reaching the chicken driving threshold, the control and management system will immediately start the chicken driving mechanism after the breeding chicken leaves, close the soft rubber plate door to settle the feeding data of this identity breeding chicken, and then reopen the soft rubber plate door for chicken driving after completion. If the control and management system does not detect the electronic tag signal scanned by the reader and there is no weight signal either, it means that the breeding chicken has left the measuring device. The system will keep the soft rubber plate door closed and reopen the soft rubber plate door for chicken driving after settlement or feeding completion.

[0025] As long as the breeding chicken finishes eating and jumps off the feeding station bar and steps on the inclined skateboard, due to the skateboard material, the breeding chicken can only slide down due to inertia. When its body touches the one-way door, the door will open naturally. The breeding chicken can only go out to the outside rest area from here and cannot jump back to the feeding station bar; this feeding or overtime feeding is completed.

[0026] In another embodiment, the inclined surface of the ramp skateboard faces the side of the multi-hop bar entrance relative to the frame, and there is no sealing plate on the side of the multi-hop bar entrance relative to the frame. After the breeding chicken jumps off the last hop bar, it falls into the higher position of the inclined surface of the ramp skateboard, slides down the ramp along the trend, and exits from the place where there is no sealing plate on the side of the multi-hop bar entrance relative to the chicken measuring device frame.

[0027] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
