Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of intelligent breeding technology, and in particular to a single-column chaotic sheep flow remote control separation system device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of global breeding industry, sheep breeding has become an important part of the agricultural sector. Sheep, as a major breeding livestock, have a very high value. Mutton is a nutritious meat rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, and is widely favored by consumers. At the same time, wool is a high-quality natural fiber that can be used to make various clothing and fabrics. In addition to mutton and wool, sheep can also produce sheep milk, sheep liver, sheep lung and other products, which have a wide market demand and can increase farmers' income. Breeding sheep industry not only promotes land use and employment in rural areas, but also requires the purchase of feed and medicines and other agricultural materials, which supports the development of rural economy.

[0003] However, during the breeding process, the farm often needs to count, vaccinate, shear, weigh and other process management operations on the sheep, and also needs on-site supervision by personnel, which cannot be remotely operated. With the emergence of automatic weighing and other breeding equipment, the above process operations are slowly being implemented through automatic means. However, the above breeding equipment cannot separate the chaotic sheep flow with head-to-tail overlap in the channel, nor can it achieve remote monitoring of the operating mechanism, so at least one person is needed to manually separate the sheep flow into single sheep, and one person is needed to observe the operating mechanism before the next step can be performed. But sheep are very sensitive and alert animals, and they are very sensitive to changes in their surroundings, and are often extremely terrified when someone is nearby, so it is extremely difficult for workers to manually separate the sheep flow, which results in many farms purchasing the above advanced breeding equipment but being unable to use it effectively, resulting in idle and abandoned phenomena.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present application proposes a single-column chaotic sheep flow remote control separation system device. Through the picture transmitted by the camera, the running state of the remote control mechanism is realized, the chaotic sheep flow with head-to-tail overlap is adaptively shaped into a single-column discrete sheep flow, and single sheep is separated from the chaotic sheep flow as needed, facilitating subsequent automatic operation.

Specifically, the present application includes the following contents.

[0040] Embodiment 1

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The present application is a single-column chaotic sheep flow remote separation system device, which comprises a support, a circuit board, a plurality of motors, a sensing information acquisition device, a sheep flow blocking device 1, a motorized sliding block device, and a sheep holding and separating device 9. The remote separation system device comprises two working modes, namely a manual mode and a wireless remote control mode. In the manual mode, the operator controls the motor switch and the power switch by using the button. The left and right sliding rails of the single-column chaotic sheep flow remote separation system are controlled by the button to start and stop, and the direction is also controlled by the button. In the wireless mode, the operator sends an analog control signal in the range of ±10v through the remote control, and outputs the command to the mechanism according to the size and direction of the analog quantity, to control the movement direction of the guide rail and the extension of the extension rod. The remote control system comprises a PLC controller, a wireless receiving module, and a wireless transmitting module. In the wireless remote control mode, the communication module adopts a wireless transmission module. The module has one on the remote operator side and one on the separation system, respectively, to complete the transmission and reception of the control signal.

[0042] The support comprises a front end cross beam and a rear end cross beam arranged in parallel. The two ends of the front end cross beam and the rear end cross beam are fixedly connected to the vertical cross beams on both sides through single-sided groove type reverse supports. The front end cross beam, the rear end cross beam, and the vertical cross beams form a rectangle. One support leg is fixed below each of the four vertices of the rectangle. The bottom of each support leg is fixed with a walking wheel 16. The size of the walking wheel 16 is 200mmx50mm, which can adapt to different terrain environments and drive the remote separation system device to walk on the channel 29.

[0043] The right vertical connecting rod 31 and the left vertical connecting rod 33 are vertically arranged below the middle points of the vertical cross beams on the two sides, and the other ends of the right vertical connecting rod 31 and the left vertical connecting rod 33 are vertically fixed with corresponding right radial connecting rods 30 and left radial connecting rods 32, respectively, and the two ends of the right radial connecting rod 30 and the left radial connecting rod 32 are fixed at the middle points of the two adjacent support legs, respectively. By installing the above connecting rods, the remote control separation system device can be stabilized and strengthened, making the whole structure more stable and able to resist the impact of sheep.

[0044] The circuit board integrates a PLC controller and is arranged inside the control box 7 for controlling the running circuit of the remote control separation system device. The control box 7 is arranged outside the right vertical cross beam and is fixed at the bottom of the right radial connecting rod 30. The PLC controller is connected to and controls the motors connected to various devices, including the motors arranged on the guide rails and the motors arranged on the telescopic rods. The PLC controller is also connected to the sensing information acquisition equipment, such as the photoelectric sensor, arranged on both sides of the electric sliding block device through a wireless transmission module.

[0045] The sheep flow blocking device 1 is arranged on the front end cross beam of the support frame and is used to control the entry of sheep. The device includes symmetrically arranged left and right telescopic rods 2 and 3, which are controlled by independent left and right telescopic motors 4 and 5, respectively, and are independently lifted through gear and rack transmission. The driving plates of the left and right telescopic rods 2 and 3 are fixed below the circuit board and are connected to the left and right telescopic motors 4 and 5 and the PLC controller, respectively. The left and right telescopic motors 4 and 5 are also connected to limit switches, respectively, and will send an over-travel alarm when the left or right telescopic rod 2 or 3 exceeds the hard limit determined by the limit switch.

[0046] When the left and right telescopic motors 4 and 5 are started, the left and right telescopic rods 2 and 3 are controlled to be lifted or lowered by the corresponding motors. When a certain number of sheep enter the channel 29, the left and right telescopic rods 2 and 3 are controlled to be lowered to the lowest state by the corresponding motors, blocking the outside sheep flow. When the sheep in the channel 29 are separated by the sheep clamping and separating device 9, there is no sheep in the channel 29, and the left and right telescopic rods 2 and 3 are controlled to be raised to the highest state by the corresponding motors, allowing the sheep to enter the channel 29.

[0047] The distance between the telescopic rods in the sheep flow blocking device 1 is 334 mm. When too many sheep flow into the channel 29, the distance between the telescopic rods is less than the body width of the sheep under the control of the motor, so that the sheep can be blocked outside the channel 29, and a suitable number of sheep can be left in the channel 29.

[0048] The electric sliding block device includes right electric sliding block device 6 and left electric sliding block device 15, which are symmetrically arranged on the vertical cross beams on both sides of the support and are used for moving forward and backward, the right electric sliding block device 6 is arranged on the right vertical cross beam, and the left electric sliding block device 15 is arranged on the left vertical cross beam; the right electric sliding block device 6 and the left electric sliding block device 15 are further respectively provided with buttons for controlling start-stop and moving direction; a threaded hole is formed every 54 mm at the bottom of the right slide rail one 23 and the right slide rail two 24 and the left slide rail one 27 and the left slide rail two 28, and a slot hole is also formed every 54 mm on the vertical cross beam, and each slide rail is fixedly installed in the slot hole through bolts.

[0049] The right electric sliding block device 6 includes right side belt 22, which is arranged in parallel with the vertical cross beam and is independently controlled by the right side sliding block motor 21 arranged at one end of the vertical cross beam close to the front end cross beam, and right side slide rail one 23 and right side slide rail two 24 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the right side belt 22, wherein the top of the right side belt 22, the right side slide rail one 23 and the right side slide rail two 24 is on the same horizontal line, and the top of the right side belt 22, the right side slide rail one 23 and the right side slide rail two 24 is further provided with right side sliding block 8; in the manual mode, when the right side sliding block motor 21 is started, the right side belt 22 is moved, thereby driving the right side sliding block 8 above to move forward and backward on the right side slide rail one 23 and the right side slide rail two 24.

[0050] The left electric sliding block device 15 includes left side belt 26, which is arranged in parallel with the vertical cross beam and is independently controlled by the left side sliding block motor 25 arranged at one end of the vertical cross beam close to the front end cross beam, and left side slide rail one 27 and left side slide rail two 28 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the left side belt 26, wherein the top of the left side belt 26, the left side slide rail one 27 and the left side slide rail two 28 is on the same horizontal line, and the top of the left side belt 26, the left side slide rail one 27 and the left side slide rail two 28 is further provided with left side sliding block 20; in the manual mode, when the left side sliding block motor 25 is started, the left side belt 26 is moved, thereby driving the left side sliding block 20 above to move forward and backward on the left side slide rail one 27 and the left side slide rail two 28.

[0051] When the forward button on the remote control is pressed, the right side sliding block 8 and the left side sliding block 20 will simultaneously slide towards the direction of the sheep outlet, and when the backward button on the remote control is pressed, the right side sliding block 8 and the left side sliding block 20 will simultaneously slide towards the direction of the sheep inlet; four through holes are formed around the right side sliding block motor 21 and the left side sliding block motor 25, and four threaded holes are also formed on the bottom vertical cross beam in contact with the motors, and the motors are fixed on one side of the bottom vertical cross beam by screws.

[0052] In the wireless remote control mode, the PLC controller is connected with the photoelectric sensors arranged on the left and right sides of the slide rails through the wireless transmission module, the PLC controller is connected with and controls the slide block motors connected with the slide blocks, and the slide block motors drive the slide blocks to move on the slide rails,

[0053] The right slide block 8 and the left slide block 20 on the right electric slide block device 6 and the left electric slide block device 15 drive the sheep clamping and separating device 9 vertically overlapped and arranged above the electric slide block device to move forward and backward. The right electric slide block device 6 and the left electric slide block device 15 are two independent parts arranged symmetrically, and can be fixed as an integral part by the electric slide block device.

[0054] The right electric slide block device 6 and the left electric slide block device 15 drive the slide blocks to slide on the slide rails in the mode of motor driving. The advantage of belt driving is that the damage of the transmission part caused by the collision of the sheep in the channel 29 can be avoided, and the transmission of the mechanism is more stable. Limiting devices are arranged at both ends of the guide rail, and the right electric slide block device 6 and the left electric slide block device 15 are connected with the PLC controller, and the PLC controller is connected with the wireless module together, which can be remotely controlled by remote control.

[0055] The sheep clamping and separating device 9 is vertically overlapped and arranged above the electric slide block device, and is used for separating the flow of the sheep in the channel 29. The sheep clamping and separating device 9 comprises a middle guide rail 14 vertically overlapped above the electric slide block device. The two ends of the middle guide rail 14 are fixed above the right slide block 8 and the left slide block 20 of the electric slide block device by screws, and play a connecting role. A motor slide block is arranged on the middle guide rail 14. The motor slide block is provided with independent right motor 11, middle motor 12 and left motor 13. The right motor 11, the middle motor 12 and the left motor 13 control corresponding right telescopic rod 19, middle telescopic rod 18 and left telescopic rod 17 respectively. The right telescopic rod 19, the middle telescopic rod 18 and the left telescopic rod 17 are independently lifted through gear and rack transmission, and the sheep is clamped and separated. The driving plates of the right telescopic rod 19, the middle telescopic rod 18 and the left telescopic rod 17 are also fixed below the circuit board. The driving plates of the right telescopic rod 19, the middle telescopic rod 18 and the left telescopic rod 17 are connected with the right motor 11, the middle motor 12, the left motor 13 and the PLC controller respectively.

[0056] The motor slider is further provided with an independent motor for controlling the left and right movement of the motor slider. The independent motor drives the motor slider to slide left and right on the middle guide rail 14 in the state of being powered on, and the right telescopic rod 19, the middle telescopic rod 18 and the left telescopic rod 17 controlled by the right motor 11, the middle motor 12 and the left motor 13 respectively are used to clamp the sheep in the channel 29. The width between the adjacent telescopic rods of the right telescopic rod 19, the middle telescopic rod 18 and the left telescopic rod 17 is about 215 mm, which is smaller than the body width of a single sheep, so that the sheep can be effectively intercepted, and the gap size of the telescopic rods can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjusting bolt of the adjacent two motors in the slot hole, so that the adaptive clamping of the sheep with different body sizes can be realized.

[0057] When two small-sized sheep advancing side by side are clamped at the same time, the rising button on the remote controller is pressed, the PLC controller receives the sensing signal, and the left telescopic rod 17 or the right telescopic rod 19 is raised to release one sheep to pass through, so that only one sheep passes through at a time. When a large-sized sheep passes through, the two telescopic rods are raised to allow the sheep to pass through, and the subsequent process is similar. By using the above design, the sheep flow separation function can be realized for sheep with different sizes.

[0058] By setting the right electric slider device 6 and the left electric slider device 15, the applicability of the embodiment can be better improved. The position of the sheep clamping and separating mechanism in the channel 29 can be adjusted according to the number of sheep in the channel 29, and the length of the channel 29 can be automatically expanded by the right electric slider device 6 and the left electric slider device 15. When the channel 29 below is wider, the middle guide rail 14 can be adjusted to allow the slider to drive the lower sheep clamping and separating device 9 to slide left and right, so that the sheep can be better clamped in the channel 29, and the distance of the channel 29 can be kept to allow only one sheep to pass through.

[0059] The independent motor is further connected with the PLC controller, and can drive the lower sheep clamping and separating device 9 to the left and right to clamp and separate the sheep in the channel 29 under the remote control.

[0060] The sheep clamping and separating device 9 further monitors the state of the sheep in the channel 29 and the operation of the mechanism through the camera 10 arranged at the midpoint of the rear end cross beam of the support, which serves as a reference basis for remote control.

[0061] When the sheep clamping and separating device 9 operates, the camera 10 and the sensing information acquisition device synchronously collect the on-site operation image and the equipment condition, and transmit the collected information to the touch screen through the wireless local area network, so that the dynamic remote monitoring of the sheep flow in the channel 29 can be realized.

[0062] The system device can also be used in cooperation with a weighing device, and the weighing device is connected to the outlet end of the shaping device. After the sheep flow is completed, the sheep enter the weighing device to complete the sheep separation and weighing process. The operation of separating and vaccinating can also be realized. As long as the operation to be completed is set at the outlet end, it can be implemented in theory.

[0063] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical range disclosed by the present application according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
