Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of breeding equipment, and specifically refers to an intelligent animal marking device for a farm. Background Art

[0002] In large-scale farms, in order to accurately know the number of livestock, it is necessary to mark the livestock to distinguish the counted and uncounted individuals. There is a Chinese patent with the publication number CN112042550A, and although the disclosed animal marking device for a farm can perform automatic spraying marking on large livestock and reduce the burden on breeders, there are many drawbacks in actual use:

[0003] I. Risk of equipment damage: The initial position of the marking round head is at a low position under the pull of the tension spring. When an animal passes by, it may not cooperate and push it up, instead hitting the marking round head and the paint box forward, which is likely to cause damage to the marking round head and the paint box.

[0004] II. Hidden danger of cross-infection of diseases: The paint is discharged through the liquid leakage strip holes and flows onto the marking round head. The marking round head contacts the liquid leakage strip holes. When the marking round head contacts the livestock, the livestock hair is easily adhered to the marking round head, and there is a risk of cross-infection of diseases when contacting different livestock.

[0005] III. Problem of blockage of the liquid leakage strip holes: When the marking round head rolls, it is easy to bring hair to the liquid leakage strip holes, thereby blocking the liquid leakage strip holes and causing difficulties in the animal marking work.

[0006] Therefore, we propose an intelligent animal marking device for a farm. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Furthermore, a guide rope wheel and a positioning column are fixedly provided on the top of the extrusion cylinder. The positioning column is located in front of the guide rope wheel and is provided with a positioning hole for the first pull rope to pass through. The first pull rope passes around the guide rope wheel in turn, passes through the positioning hole, and is fixedly connected to the top of the toggle rod.

[0016] Furthermore, a second guide rope wheel is fixedly provided on the frame plate, and one end of the second pull rope extending downward passes around the second guide rope wheel and is fixedly connected to the fixing rod.

[0017] Furthermore, a controller is installed on the side wall of the marking channel, a pressure sensor is installed on the bottom wall inside the extrusion cylinder, the baffle is made of stainless steel, an infrared probe is installed on the inner wall of the marking channel, and the infrared probe, electromagnetic plate, pressure sensor and electromagnetic brake are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0018] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention using the above structure are as follows:

[0019] 1. Orderly marking: By setting up animal blocking components, livestock can enter the marking channel in an orderly manner, preventing livestock from entering in a disorderly manner, and ensuring that the marking work is carried out in an orderly manner. Since there is a corner between the entrance channel and the marking channel, the line of sight of the livestock behind is blocked, forming visual pressure and causing a pause, and will be pulled away from the livestock in front by a certain distance; when the livestock in front pushes open the barrier door and enters the marking channel, it will trigger the infrared probe. At this time, the controller will receive the signal from the infrared probe and control the electromagnetic plate to energize. When the livestock leaves the barrier door, the tension spring drives the barrier door to reverse, and the barrier door reverses and attracts the electromagnetic plate. When the controller receives the data signal from the piston block squeezing pressure sensor, the controller cuts off the power to the electromagnetic plate, and the gate can be pushed open by the livestock, so that the livestock can be marked in an orderly manner; and the animal blocking component is used to transmit the force of the livestock pushing the gate open to the suction force for absorbing the dye, so that the spring 1 is temporarily in a charged state. When the livestock triggers the animal squeezing component, the elastic force of the spring 1 is released, driving the piston block to squeeze the dye and spray it on the back of the livestock, thereby completing the marking of the livestock. The design of the present application is ingenious, saving driving equipment and reducing equipment costs.

[0020] 2. Accurate triggering of marking: The animal squeezing component can use the squeezing force of the livestock body to trigger the work, so that the animal marking component can accurately mark the back of the livestock, ensuring that every livestock passing through the arc plate can be marked, improving the accuracy and reliability of the marking. When the livestock enters the marking channel and triggers the animal squeezing component, the animal squeezing component will pull the second pull rope, and the second pull rope drives the lifting ring to move down and squeeze the spring three. The lifting ring drives the inner concave plate to move down through the connecting rod, and the arc surface of the tongue 2 002 at the top of the claw slides in contact with the inner wall of the conical inner concave, driving the top of the claw to rotate relatively. At this time, the tongue 1 001 at the bottom of the claw moves away from each other and detaches from the block. Under the action of the rebound force of the spring one, the piston rod and the piston block are driven to move downward, thereby spraying the dye in the squeezing cylinder from the nozzle. Since the nozzle is located above the animal squeezing component and the livestock is in the animal squeezing component at this time, the dye sprayed by the nozzle is just sprayed on the back of the livestock.

[0021] 3. Avoid cross-infection: Different from the prior art where the marked round head is prone to adhering to hair and causing cross-infection of diseases, the device of the present invention avoids the risk of cross-infection of diseases caused by contact of the marking components between different livestock by setting the nozzle to have no contact with the animal, and also avoids the problem of hair clogging the nozzle, ensuring the smooth progress of the marking process, without the need to frequently clean the clogged components, saving labor and time costs.

[0022] 4. Automatic cyclic marking: When the piston block presses against the pressure sensor, the controller controls the electromagnetic brake to open, resetting each component of the device and preparing for the next marking operation, achieving automatic cyclic marking, improving the marking efficiency, and meeting the marking requirements for a large number of livestock in large-scale farms.

[0023] 5. Stable structure and reasonable guidance: The first guide pulley, positioning column, and second guide pulley are set to prevent the first pull rope from detaching during pulling respectively, ensuring the smooth extension of the second pull rope, making the connection and transmission between each component more stable and smooth, and ensuring the stable operation of the entire device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0044] As Figure 1 shown, an intelligent animal marking device for a farm in the present invention includes an inlet passage 1, a marking passage 2, an animal blocking assembly 3, an animal marking assembly 4, and an animal squeezing assembly 5. The inlet passage 1 is communicated with the marking passage 2, and the inlet passage 1 and the marking passage 2 form an L-shaped passage. The animal blocking assembly 3 is arranged at the connection of the marking passage 2 and the inlet passage 1. The animal marking assembly 4 is arranged above the marking passage 2. The animal squeezing assembly 5 is arranged inside the marking passage 2 and below the animal marking assembly 4. The animal marking assembly 4 is respectively connected with the animal squeezing assembly 5 and the animal blocking assembly 3.

[0045] Working principle: Through the arranged animal blocking assembly 3, livestock can enter the marking passage 2 orderly. Through the arranged animal squeezing assembly 5, when livestock walks below the animal marking assembly 4, the animal squeezing assembly 5 can be triggered, and the animal marking assembly 4 can work to mark the back of the livestock.

[0046] As Figures 1 - 6As shown in the figure, the animal marking component 4 includes a shelf plate 43, a dye tank 44, an extrusion cylinder 45, a nozzle 46, and a lifting unit 41. The shelf plate 43 is fixedly arranged at the top of the marking channel 2. The dye tank 44 is fixedly arranged on the top of the shelf plate 43. The extrusion cylinder 45 is fixedly arranged on the top of the shelf plate 43 and is located on one side of the dye tank 44. One side of the bottom of the extrusion cylinder 45 is communicated with the dye tank 44 through a liquid inlet pipe 47, and a one-way valve one is connected in series on the liquid inlet pipe 47. The nozzle 46 is communicated with the bottom end of the extrusion cylinder 45 through a liquid outlet pipe 48, and a one-way valve two is connected in series on the liquid outlet pipe 48. The nozzle 46 passes through the shelf plate 43 downward. A partition plate 49 is fixedly arranged inside the extrusion cylinder 45. A piston rod 410 slidably penetrates through the partition plate 49. A piston block 411 is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the piston rod 410. The piston block 411 is slidably sealed inside the extrusion cylinder 45. A first spring 412 is slidably sleeved on the piston rod 410. The first spring 412 abuts between the partition plate 49 and the piston block 411. The lifting unit 41 is arranged inside the extrusion cylinder 45 and is located above the partition plate 49. A clamping block 413 is fixedly arranged at the top end of the piston rod 410. The lifting unit 41 is connected to the clamping block 413.

[0047] As Figures 1 - 6 , Figures 11 - 15 shown in the figure, the lifting unit 41 includes a lifting block 4101, a claw 4102, and a first pulling rope 4103. The lifting block 4101 is slidably arranged inside the extrusion cylinder 45. The bottom ends of the claws 4102 are symmetrically arranged on the front side wall of the lifting block 4101 by rotation around a rotating shaft. A second spring 4104 is connected between the two claws 4102. The bottom end of the claw 4102 is an integrally formed first clamping tongue 001. The bottom of the first clamping tongue 001 is an arc surface, and its top is a plane. The plane on the first clamping tongue 001 is clamped with the bottom plane of the clamping block 413. The top end of the claw 4102 is an integrally formed second clamping tongue 002. The side of the second clamping tongue 002 close to the inner wall of the extrusion cylinder 45 is an arc surface, and the second clamping tongue 002 bends towards the middle of the extrusion cylinder 45. One end of the first pulling rope 4103 is fixedly arranged at the top of the lifting block 4101. The other end of the first pulling rope 4103 passes through the top of the extrusion cylinder 45 and is connected to the animal blocking component 3.

[0048] The cooperation working principle of the animal marking component 4 and the lifting unit 41: Drive the livestock into the inlet channel 1. The livestock walks forward along the inlet channel 1. When reaching the connection between the inlet channel 1 and the marking channel 2, the livestock in the front will trigger the animal blocking component 3. The animal blocking component 3 will pull the first pulling rope 4103. The first pulling rope 4103 pulls the lifting block 4101 to move upward, thereby driving the claw 4102, the clamping block 413, the piston rod 410, and the piston block 411 to move upward. The piston block 411 compresses the first spring 412. When the piston block 411 moves upward, a suction force is generated to suck the dye in the dye tank 44 into the extrusion cylinder 45, preparing to spray and mark the livestock.

[0049] As Figures 1 - 6 , Figures 11 - 15As shown in the figure, the animal marking assembly 4 further includes a trigger unit 42. The trigger unit 42 includes a concave disk 4201, a lifting ring 4202, a first fixing ring 4203, a second fixing ring 4204 and a vertical rod 4205. The first fixing ring 4203 is fixedly sleeved on the top end of the extrusion cylinder 45. The second fixing ring 4204 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side wall of the extrusion cylinder 45 and is located below the first fixing ring 4203. The lifting ring 4202 is slidably sleeved on the outer side wall of the extrusion cylinder 45 and is located between the first fixing ring 4203 and the second fixing ring 4204. The concave disk 4201 is slidably arranged in the extrusion cylinder 45, and its side wall is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting ring 4202 through a connecting rod 4206. A long slot 4207 for the connecting rod 4206 to slide up and down is arranged on the side wall of the extrusion cylinder 45. The vertical rod 4205 is fixedly arranged between the first fixing ring 4203 and the second fixing ring 4204 and is located around the extrusion cylinder 45. A third spring 4208 is slidably sleeved on the vertical rod 4205, and the third spring 4208 abuts between the lifting ring 4202 and the second fixing ring 4204. A conical concave opening 4209 is arranged at the bottom of the concave disk 4201, and a threading opening 4210 for the first pull rope 4103 to pass through is arranged in the middle thereof. When the concave disk 4201 moves down, the arc surface of the second tongue 002 at the top end of the claw 4102 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the conical concave opening 4209. The trigger unit 42 further includes a second pull rope 4211. One end of the second pull rope 4211 is fixedly connected to the edge of the lifting ring 4202. The other end of the second pull rope 4211 extends downward and is connected to the animal extrusion assembly 5 after passing through the edge of the second fixing ring 4204.

[0050] The cooperation working principle between the animal extrusion assembly 5 and the trigger unit 42: When the livestock enters the marking channel 2 and triggers the animal extrusion assembly 5, the animal extrusion assembly 5 will pull the second pull rope 4211. The second pull rope 4211 drives the lifting ring 4202 to move down and compress the third spring 4208. The lifting ring 4202 drives the concave disk 4201 to move down through the connecting rod 4206. The arc surface of the second tongue 002 at the top end of the claw 4102 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the conical concave opening 4209, driving the top ends of the claws 4102 to rotate towards each other. At this time, the first tongues 001 at the bottom ends of the claws 4102 move away from each other and disengage from the clamping block 413. Under the resilience of the first spring 412, the piston rod 410 and the piston block 411 are driven to move down, so as to spray the dye in the extrusion cylinder 45 from the nozzle 46. Since the nozzle 46 is located above the animal extrusion assembly 5 and the livestock is in the animal extrusion assembly 5 at this time, the dye sprayed from the nozzle 46 just sprays on the back of the livestock.

[0051] As Figure 1 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10As shown, the animal extrusion assembly 5 includes an arc-shaped plate 51, a U-shaped plate 52, a guide rod 53, and a fourth spring 54. Openings 55 are provided on the left and right side walls of the marking channel 2. The animal extrusion assembly 5 is respectively located at the openings 55. The arc-shaped plate 51 passes through the openings 55. Connecting plates 56 are integrally formed at both ends of the arc-shaped plate 51, and the connecting plates 56 are located outside the marking channel 2. The two ends of the U-shaped plate 52 are fixedly provided on the outer side wall of the marking channel 2 and are in contact with the free ends of the connecting plates 56. One end of the guide rod 53 is fixedly provided on the connecting plate 56, and the other end of the guide rod 53 slidably passes through the U-shaped plate 52. The fourth spring 54 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 53 and abuts between the connecting plate 56 and the U-shaped plate 52.

[0052] As Figure 1 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 shown, the animal extrusion assembly 5 further includes a moving rod 57. One end of the moving rod 57 is fixed to the middle of the arc-shaped plate 51. The other end of the moving rod 57 passes through the opening 55 and then slidably penetrates through the U-shaped plate 52. A fixing rod 58 is vertically fixed at the end of the moving rod 57 outside the U-shaped plate 52. The top end of the fixing rod 58 is fixedly connected to one end of the second pulling rope 4211 extending downward.

[0053] Working principle of the animal extrusion assembly 5: When livestock enters between the two arc-shaped plates 51, since the width dimensions of the head and neck of a single livestock are relatively small, it can pass through between the two arc-shaped plates 51. When the widest part of the body of this livestock comes into contact with the arc-shaped plates 51 on both sides at the same time, it will squeeze the arc-shaped plate 51 to shift and compress the fourth spring 54. The arc-shaped plate 51 drives the moving rod 57 and the fixing rod 58 to move, and the fixing rod 58 pulls the second pulling rope 4211, thereby realizing the function of spraying dye.

[0054] As Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown in the figure, the animal blocking assembly 3 includes a blocking door 31, an electromagnetic brake 32, a toggle lever 33 and a tension spring 34. A rotary shaft 35 is rotatably arranged up and down inside the right end of the blocking door 31 through a one-way bearing. Support blocks 36 are symmetrically fixed on the upper and lower inner walls of the right side of the marking channel 2. The upper and lower ends of the rotary shaft 35 rotatably penetrate through the support blocks 36 through bearings. One end of the tension spring 34 is fixedly connected to the top of the blocking door 31, and the other end of the tension spring 34 is fixedly connected to the support block 36. The blocking door 31 is located at the connection between the marking channel 2 and the inlet channel 1. A first gear 37 is fixedly arranged on the rotary shaft 35 located below. The electromagnetic brake 32 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the marking channel 2. The bottom end of the toggle lever 33 is connected to the electromagnetic brake 32. The top end of the toggle lever 33 is bent towards the middle of the marking channel 2 and extends horizontally. The top end of the toggle lever 33 is fixedly connected to one end of the first pull rope 4103 passing through the extrusion cylinder 45. A second gear 38 is also fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the toggle lever 33. An avoidance opening 39 is formed on the inner wall of the marking channel 2. The first gear 37 passes through the avoidance opening 39 and meshes with the second gear 38. A support plate 310 is also fixedly arranged on the outer side wall of the marking channel 2. The toggle lever 33 rotatably penetrates through the support plate 310 through a bearing; the animal blocking assembly 3 further includes an electromagnetic plate 311. The electromagnetic plate 311 is fixedly arranged on the left inner wall of the marking channel 2. The blocking door 31 is in contact with the electromagnetic plate 311.

[0055] Working principle of the animal blocking assembly 3: Drive the livestock into the inlet channel 1. The livestock walks forward along the inlet channel 1. When reaching the connection between the inlet channel 1 and the marking channel 2, the livestock in front will push open the blocking door 31 and enter the marking channel 2. When the blocking door 31 is pushed open and rotates, it will drive the rotary shaft 35 to rotate through the one-way bearing. The rotary shaft 35 drives the first gear 37 to rotate. The first gear 37 drives the second gear 38 to rotate. The second gear 38 drives the toggle lever 33 to rotate. The toggle lever 33 pulls the first pull rope 4103, and the first pull rope 4103 pulls the lifting block 4101 to move upward;

[0056] When the livestock separates from the blocking door 31, under the action of the tension spring 34, it drives the blocking door 31 to reverse. At this time, the blocking door 31 reverses and is attracted to the electromagnetic plate 311 to close. At this time, the electromagnetic plate 311 is energized to generate suction force, which can attract the iron blocking door 31. Since the rotary shaft 35 and the blocking door 31 are rotatably connected through a one-way bearing, when the blocking door 31 reverses, it will not drive the rotary shaft 35 to rotate, and thus will not drive the first gear 37 to rotate, and thus will not drive the second gear 38 and the toggle lever 33 to rotate.

[0057] As Figures 1 - 6As shown, a first guide pulley 414 and a positioning post 415 are also fixedly provided at the top of the extrusion cylinder 45. The positioning post 415 is located on the front side of the first guide pulley 414, and a positioning hole for the first pull rope 4103 to pass through is provided thereon. The first pull rope 4103 sequentially bypasses the first guide pulley 414, passes through the positioning hole, and is fixedly connected to the top end of the toggle rod 33. By providing the positioning hole, the first pull rope 4103 is prevented from detaching from the first guide pulley 414 under the pulling of the toggle rod 33.

[0058] As Figures 1 - 6 shown, a second guide pulley 416 is fixedly provided on the frame plate 43. One end of the second pull rope 4211 extending downward bypasses the second guide pulley 416 and is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 58. By providing the second guide pulley 416, the second pull rope 4211 can extend downward smoothly, facilitating the downward movement of the lifting ring 4202 under force.

[0059] As Figures 1 - 16 shown, a controller 6 is installed on the side wall of the marking channel 2, a pressure sensor is installed on the inner bottom wall of the extrusion cylinder 45, the material of the shutter 31 is stainless steel, and an infrared probe 7 is installed on the inner wall of the marking channel 2. The infrared probe 7, the electromagnetic plate 311, the pressure sensor, and the electromagnetic brake 32 are all electrically connected to the controller 6.

[0060] During specific use, livestock are driven into the inlet channel 1, and the livestock walk forward along the inlet channel 1. When reaching the connection between the inlet channel 1 and the marking channel 2, the livestock in front will push open the shutter 31 and enter the marking channel 2. When the shutter 31 is pushed open and rotated by the livestock, it will drive the rotating shaft 35 to rotate through a one-way bearing. The rotating shaft 35 drives the first gear 37 to rotate, the first gear 37 drives the second gear 38 to rotate, the second gear 38 drives the toggle rod 33 to rotate, the toggle rod 33 pulls the first pull rope 4103, the first pull rope 4103 pulls the lifting block 4101 to move upward, thereby driving the claw 4102, the clamping block 413, the piston rod 410, and the piston block 411 to move upward. The piston block 411 squeezes the first spring 412 and sucks the dye in the dye tank 44 into the extrusion cylinder 45, preparing to spray the livestock;

[0061] Due to the corner between the import channel 1 and the marking channel 2, the line of sight of the livestock behind is blocked, resulting in visual pressure that causes pauses and creates a certain distance from the livestock in front. When the livestock in front pushes open the blocking door 31 and enters the marking channel 2, it will trigger the infrared probe 7. At this time, after the controller 6 receives the signal from the infrared probe 7 simultaneously, it controls the electromagnetic plate 311 to be energized, and at the same time, the controller 6 controls the electromagnetic brake 32 to close. At this time, the toggle lever 33 stops rotating and keeps the first pull rope 4103 in a taut state, and a certain amount of dye is drawn into the extrusion cylinder 45. When the livestock leaves the blocking door 31, the blocking door 31 is driven to reverse under the action of the tension spring 34. At this time, the blocking door 31 reverses and is attracted to the electromagnetic plate 311 to close. Since the rotating shaft 35 and the blocking door 31 are rotationally connected through a one-way bearing, when the blocking door 31 reverses, it will not drive the rotating shaft 35 to rotate, and thus will not drive the first gear 37 to rotate, nor will it drive the second gear 38 and the toggle lever 33 to rotate;

[0062] When the livestock enters between the two sets of arc-shaped plates 51, due to the small width dimension of the head and neck of a single livestock, it can pass through between the two sets of arc-shaped plates 51. When the widest part of the body of this livestock contacts the arc-shaped plates 51 on both sides at the same time, it will squeeze the arc-shaped plates 51 to shift and squeeze the fourth spring 54. The arc-shaped plates 51 drive the moving rod 57 and the fixed rod 58 to move. The fixed rod 58 pulls the second pull rope 4211, and the second pull rope 4211 drives the lifting ring 4202 to move downward and squeeze the third spring 4208. The lifting ring 4202 drives the concave disk 4201 to move downward through the connecting rod 4206. The arc-shaped surface of the second tongue 002 at the top of the claw 4102 slides in contact with the inner wall of the conical concave opening 4209, driving the top of the claw 4102 to rotate relatively. At this time, the first tongues 001 at the bottom of the claw 4102 move away from each other and disengage from the block 413. Under the resilience of the first spring 412, the piston rod 410 and the piston block 411 are driven to move downward, so that the dye in the extrusion cylinder 45 is sprayed out from the nozzle 46. Since the nozzle 46 is located above the position between the two sets of arc-shaped plates 51, the dye sprayed out by the nozzle 46 at this time just sprays on the back of the livestock;

[0063] When the piston block 411 moves to the bottom end of the extrusion cylinder 45, the piston block 411 presses against a pressure sensor (not shown in the figure) at this time. The data signal of the pressure sensor is transmitted to the controller 6. After receiving the data signal of the pressure sensor, the controller 6 controls the electromagnetic brake 32 to open. At this time, the toggle lever 33 is no longer restricted by the electromagnetic brake 32 and can rotate; it moves downward under the action of the gravity of the lifting block 4101. At this time, the arc surface at the bottom of the first latch 001 contacts the top of the latch block 413. At this time, the two second latches 002 approach each other, while the first latches 001 move away from each other, and the second spring 4104 is compressed. When the first latch 001 moves below the latch block 413, under the rebounding action of the second spring 4104, the first latch 001 is latched at the bottom of the latch block 413, preparing to lift the latch block 413 next time, driving the piston rod 410 and the piston block 411 to move upward to suck the dye and spray and mark the next livestock; when the lifting block 4101 moves downward and resets, it drives the first pull rope 4103 to move, and then drives the toggle lever 33 to reset. In addition, when the controller 6 receives the data signal of the pressure sensor, the controller 6 cuts off the power supply to the electromagnetic plate 311 at this time, and the blocking door 31 can be pushed open by the livestock at this time, so that the livestock can be marked orderly; in addition, the controller 6, the infrared probe 7, the pressure sensor, the electromagnetic plate 311, the electromagnetic brake 32 and their supporting power supplies and control switches mentioned in this embodiment are provided by the manufacturer. The circuits, electronic components and modules involved are all prior arts and can be fully realized by those skilled in the art without further elaboration.
