Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of breeding tools, and in particular to a foot ring device used for poultry breeding. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, people have higher and higher requirements for food safety, and consumers have an increasingly strong desire to trace the origin of the food they buy. Therefore, the process of raising poultry (such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc.) has gradually developed towards informatization and openness.

[0003] Wearing foot rings on the feet of poultry is a common breeding method. The foot rings mainly serve as a label for brand promotion, quality management, information recording, etc. However, poultry foot rings in the existing technology are divided into open foot rings and closed foot rings. The open foot rings can be buckled or removed at any time. After removal, the open foot rings need to be replaced in order to promote brand information, which increases breeding costs. Secondly, the closed foot rings are put on the poultry during its juvenile stage. During the growth cycle of the poultry, the poultry's feet will grow, and the foot rings will press on the poultry's feet, affecting the growth of the poultry. The foot rings still need to be removed, which leads to increased labor and troublesome breeding management. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a foot ring device for poultry breeding which can adapt to the growth of poultry feet.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: a leg ring device for poultry breeding, comprising a ring sleeve body, a closed chamber is provided in the ring sleeve body, a through hole communicating with the closed chamber is respectively opened at the top and bottom of the ring sleeve body, a left half-ring jacket and a right half-ring jacket with a "C"-shaped longitudinal section are respectively provided on both sides of the outer surface of the ring sleeve body, and a snap-fit ​​sliding mechanism is provided between the left half-ring jacket and the right half-ring jacket and the outer surface of the ring sleeve body, and the left half-ring jacket or the right half-ring jacket is respectively moved by the snap-fit ​​sliding mechanism. It is detachably connected to the outer surface of the ring sleeve body so that the top and bottom of the left half ring jacket and the right half ring jacket are close to each other and form a clamping hole for clamping the feet of poultry. The center line of the clamping hole overlaps with the center line of the through hole. The inner diameter of the through hole is larger than the inner diameter of the clamping hole. When the left half ring jacket and the right half ring jacket are subjected to a reverse force toward the clamping hole, the clamping sliding mechanism on the left half ring jacket and the right half ring jacket is subjected to the reverse force and separated from the ring sleeve body, so that the left half ring jacket and the right half ring jacket are respectively separated from the ring sleeve body.

[0006] When the poultry is in its infancy, the poultry's feet are relatively small. At this time, the poultry's feet are passed through the through holes at the top and bottom of the ring sleeve body, so that the ring sleeve body is sleeved on the poultry's feet. Then, the left half-ring jacket and the right half-ring jacket are sleeved on the outer surface of the ring sleeve body, and the left half-ring jacket is detachably connected to the left side of the ring sleeve body by using a snap-on sliding mechanism. At the same time, the right half-ring jacket is detachably connected to the right side of the ring sleeve body by using a snap-on sliding mechanism, so that after the left half-ring jacket and the right half-ring jacket are brought close to each other, the tops and bottoms of the left half-ring jacket and the right half-ring jacket form clamping holes for clamping the poultry's feet, and the ring sleeve body is fixed on the poultry's feet by using the left half-ring jacket and the right half-ring jacket.

[0007] As the poultry grows, its feet gradually become larger, and the poultry's feet will generate a reverse force toward the clamping hole on the left and right half-ring jackets at the clamping hole position, thereby causing the clamping sliding mechanisms on the left and right half-ring jackets to separate from the ring sleeve body due to the reverse force, so that the left and right half-ring jackets are separated from the ring sleeve body respectively. After the left and right half-ring jackets fall off, the ring sleeve body is retained, and the through holes of the ring sleeve body are adapted to the poultry's feet after growth. The present invention achieves adaptation to the foot size of the poultry at different stages of the growth process through the sleeve mode among the left and right half-ring jackets and the ring sleeve body.

[0008] Furthermore, the snap-on sliding mechanism includes a spring sheet arranged at an angle, the top of the spring sheet is fixed on the inner wall of the left half-ring sleeve or the right half-ring sleeve near the clamping hole, and the bottom of the spring sheet can be inserted into a slot arranged in the ring sleeve body near the through hole. One side of the spring sheet is an inclined portion, and the inclined portion cooperates with the inclined surface of the slot.

[0009] As the livestock grows, their feet gradually increase in size, generating an outward pushing force on the left and right half-ring clamping sleeves that clamp the feet. During the outward movement of the left and right half-ring clamping sleeves, the left and right half-ring clamping sleeves drive the spring sheet to move outward, and the inclined portion of the spring sheet cooperates with the inclined surface in the slot, causing the spring sheet to gradually detach from the slot. After the spring sheet detaches from the slot, the left and right half-ring clamping sleeves also detach from the sleeve body.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a control panel arranged on the outer surface of the ring sleeve, and an LED light is installed on the outer surface of the ring sleeve. The side of the spring sheet away from the inclined portion is a bending portion. After the spring sheet is bent, the bending portion abuts against the pressure sensor arranged on the inner wall of the left half-ring jacket or the right half-ring jacket, and the pressure sensor and the LED light are respectively electrically connected to the control panel.

[0011] During the outward movement of the spring sheet, the bent portion of the spring sheet gradually bends. When the spring sheet is completely bent (i.e., the left half-ring jacket or the right half-ring jacket is separated from the jacket body), the bent portion of the spring sheet abuts against the pressure sensor provided on the inner wall of the left half-ring jacket or the right half-ring jacket. The pressure sensor transmits the pressure information to the control panel, and the control panel activates the LED light on the jacket body. At this time, the poultry breeding staff sees that the LED light is on, indicating that the poultry's feet have grown, and thus judges that the poultry has grown up and can be slaughtered and other subsequent work.

[0012] Furthermore, the snap-on sliding mechanism also includes a ball, and several sliding grooves are opened on the top and bottom outer surfaces of the ring sleeve body, and the sliding grooves correspond to the inner walls of the left half-ring jacket or the right half-ring jacket. The ball is located in the sliding groove and the outer circle of the ball is in contact with the inner wall of the left half-ring jacket or the right half-ring jacket.

[0013] During the outward movement of the left and right half-ring jackets, the balls will also move as the left and right half-ring jackets move outward. Since the friction of the balls is small (negligible), the resistance to the outward movement of the left and right half-ring jackets is reduced, thereby not adding excessive movement resistance to the poultry's feet.

[0014] Furthermore, an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver are provided in the closed chamber, the infrared transmitter and the infrared receiver are located on both sides of the through hole, the infrared transmitter and the infrared receiver are in the same plane, and the infrared receiver is electrically connected to the control panel.

[0015] When the feet of poultry and livestock pass through the through holes at the top and bottom of the ring sleeve, the infrared information emitted by the infrared transmitter is blocked, and the infrared receiver cannot receive the infrared information generated by the infrared transmitter. The infrared receiver will then send a feedback signal to the control panel, informing the breeding staff that the ring sleeve has been put on the poultry's feet.

[0016] Furthermore, an information sticker is provided on the outer surface of the ring sleeve body, and the information sticker is located between the left half ring jacket and the right half ring jacket. The outer surface of the information sticker is wrapped with a transparent protective film.

[0017] The information sticker can use a QR code to record the source information of the poultry, including the manufacturer, contact information, anti-counterfeiting mark, etc. The user can obtain the source information of the poultry by scanning the code; secondly, a transparent protective film is used to protect the information sticker to prevent the information sticker from being damaged during long-term use.

[0018] Furthermore, the outer surface of the annular sleeve is provided with a data strip located below the control panel, and the data strip is used to display the growth information of the poultry and livestock.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention also has the following technical effects:

[0020] After the foot ring is worn, it can be removed from the time of breeding and selling to the time of eating. The materials used to make the foot ring are non-toxic and environmentally friendly, and the material consumption is small, which saves production costs. The foot ring has a lot of identification information, will not affect the growth and walking of poultry, is comfortable to wear, and improves the comfort of poultry wearing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a leg ring device for poultry farming according to the present invention;

[0022] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Cross-sectional view of AA in the figure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0024] The figure marks in the drawings of the specification include: ring sleeve body 1, left half ring jacket 2, right half ring jacket 3, through hole 4, clamping hole 5, slide groove 6, ball 7, slot 8, spring sheet 9, pressure sensor 10, infrared transmitter 11, infrared receiver 12, LED light 13, information sticker 14, control panel 15, data strip 16.

[0025] This embodiment: A leg ring device for poultry farming, comprising a ring sleeve body 1, a closed chamber in the ring sleeve body 1, a through hole 4 communicating with the closed chamber is respectively opened at the top and bottom of the ring sleeve body 1, and a left half-ring jacket 2 and a right half-ring jacket 3 with a longitudinal cross-section of a "C"-shaped structure are respectively provided on both sides of the outer surface of the ring sleeve body 1. A snap-fit ​​sliding mechanism is provided between the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 and the outer surface of the ring sleeve body 1, and the left half-ring jacket 2 or the right half-ring jacket 3 is detachably connected to the ring sleeve body 1 through the snap-fit ​​sliding mechanism. On the outer surface, the top and bottom of the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 are brought close to each other to form a clamping hole 5 for clamping the feet of poultry. The center line of the clamping hole 5 overlaps with the center line of the through hole 4. The inner diameter of the through hole 4 is larger than the inner diameter of the clamping hole 5. When the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 are subjected to a reverse force toward the clamping hole 5, the clamping sliding mechanism on the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 is subjected to the reverse force and separated from the ring sleeve body 1, so that the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 are respectively separated from the ring sleeve body 1.

[0026] Among them, the clamping sliding mechanism includes a spring sheet 9 arranged at an angle, the top of the spring sheet 9 is fixed on the inner wall of the left half-ring sleeve 2 or the right half-ring sleeve 3 near the clamping hole 5, and the bottom of the spring sheet 9 can be inserted into the slot 8 arranged in the ring sleeve body 1 near the through hole 4. One side of the spring sheet 9 is an inclined portion, and the inclined portion cooperates with the inclined surface of the slot 8.

[0027] As the livestock grows, their feet gradually increase in size, generating an outward pushing force on the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 that clamp the feet. During the outward movement of the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3, the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 will drive the spring sheet 9 to move outward. The inclined portion of the spring sheet 9 cooperates with the inclined surface in the slot 8, causing the spring sheet 9 to gradually disengage from the slot 8. After the spring sheet 9 disengages from the slot 8, the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 also disengage from the ring sleeve body 1.

[0028] As a preferred solution, the snap-on sliding mechanism also includes a ball 7. Several sliding grooves 6 are provided on the top and bottom outer surfaces of the ring sleeve body 1. The sliding grooves 6 correspond to the inner walls of the left half-ring jacket 2 or the right half-ring jacket 3. The ball 7 is located in the sliding groove 6 and the outer circle of the ball 7 contacts the inner wall of the left half-ring jacket 2 or the right half-ring jacket 3.

[0029] During the outward movement of the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3, the ball 7 will also move as the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 move outward. Since the moving friction of the ball 7 is small (negligible), the resistance to the outward movement of the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 is reduced, so that excessive movement resistance will not be added to the poultry's feet.

[0030] At the same time, based on the above technical solution, a control panel 15 is installed on the outer surface of the ring sleeve body 1, and an LED lamp 13 is installed on the outer surface of the ring sleeve body 1. The side of the spring sheet 9 away from the inclined portion is a bending portion. After the spring sheet 9 is bent, the bending portion abuts against the pressure sensor 10 arranged on the inner wall of the left half-ring jacket 2 or the right half-ring jacket 3. The pressure sensor 10 and the LED lamp 13 are electrically connected to the control panel 15 respectively.

[0031] During the outward movement of the spring sheet 9, the bent portion of the spring sheet 9 gradually bends. When the spring sheet 9 is completely bent (i.e., the left half-ring jacket 2 or the right half-ring jacket 3 is separated from the ring sleeve body 1), the bent portion of the spring sheet 9 abuts against the pressure sensor 10 provided on the inner wall of the left half-ring jacket 2 or the right half-ring jacket 3. The pressure sensor 10 transmits the pressure information to the control panel 15, and the control panel 15 starts the LED light 13 on the ring sleeve body 1. At this time, the poultry breeding staff sees that the LED light 13 is on, indicating that the poultry's feet have grown up, that is, it is judged that the poultry has grown up and can be slaughtered and other subsequent work.

[0032] As a preferred solution, an infrared transmitter 11 and an infrared receiver 12 are installed in the closed chamber. The infrared transmitter 11 and the infrared receiver 12 are located on both sides of the through hole 4. The infrared transmitter 11 and the infrared receiver 12 are in the same plane, and the infrared receiver 12 is electrically connected to the control panel 15.

[0033] When the feet of the poultry and livestock pass through the through holes 4 at the top and bottom of the ring sleeve 1, the infrared information emitted by the infrared transmitter 11 is blocked, and the infrared receiver 12 cannot receive the infrared information generated by the infrared transmitter 11. The infrared receiver 12 will send a feedback signal to the control panel 15 to inform the breeding staff that the ring sleeve 1 has been put on the poultry's feet.

[0034] As a preferred solution, an information sticker 14 is installed on the outer surface of the ring sleeve body 1. The information sticker 14 can be in the form of a QR code to record the source information of the poultry, including the manufacturer, contact information, anti-counterfeiting mark, etc. The user can obtain the source information of the poultry by scanning the code. The information sticker 14 is located between the left half ring jacket 2 and the right half ring jacket 3, which is convenient for the breeding staff to check.

[0035] The outer surface of the information sticker 14 is wrapped with a transparent protective film to protect the information sticker 14 from damage during prolonged use. Furthermore, the outer surface of the ring body 1 is provided with an information strip 16 located below the control panel 15. The information strip 16 is used to display livestock growth information.

[0036] When the poultry is in its infancy, the poultry's feet are relatively small. At this time, the poultry's feet are passed through the through holes 4 at the top and bottom of the annular sleeve body 1 so that the annular sleeve body 1 is sleeved on the poultry's feet. Then, the left semi-ring jacket 2 and the right semi-ring jacket 3 are sleeved on the outer surface of the annular sleeve body 1, and the left semi-ring jacket 2 is detachably connected to the left side of the annular sleeve body 1 by a snap-fit ​​sliding mechanism. At the same time, the right semi-ring jacket 3 is detachably connected to the right side of the annular sleeve body 1 by a snap-fit ​​sliding mechanism, so that after the left semi-ring jacket 2 and the right semi-ring jacket 3 are brought close to each other, the tops and bottoms of the left semi-ring jacket 2 and the right semi-ring jacket 3 form clamping holes 5 for clamping the poultry's feet, and the left semi-ring jacket 2 and the right semi-ring jacket 3 are used to fix the annular sleeve body 1 on the poultry's feet.

[0037] As the poultry grows, its feet gradually become larger, and the poultry's feet will generate a reverse force toward the clamping hole 5 on the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 at the clamping hole 5, thereby causing the clamping sliding mechanism on the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 to be separated from the ring sleeve body 1 by the reverse force, so that the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 are separated from the ring sleeve body 1 respectively, and the ring sleeve body 1 is retained after the left half-ring jacket 2 and the right half-ring jacket 3 fall off. The through hole 4 of the ring sleeve body 1 is adapted to the foot of the poultry after it grows up. The present invention achieves adaptation to the foot size of the poultry at different stages of the growth process through the sleeve mode among the left half-ring jacket 2, the right half-ring jacket 3 and the ring sleeve body 1.

[0038] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and common knowledge such as the specific technical solutions and / or characteristics in the solutions are not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, several variations and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
