Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of beef cattle breeding technology, specifically to an intelligent grouping and transfer device for beef cattle. Background Technology

[0002] Beef cattle, also known as beef cattle, are a type of cattle primarily used for beef production. They are characterized by their plump bodies, rapid weight gain, high feed conversion rate, good meat production performance, and excellent meat quality and taste. Beef cattle not only provide meat products but also other by-products. Beef cattle farming is a livestock industry focused on beef production. It involves large-scale breeding of superior beef cattle breeds and the use of scientific management methods to improve feed conversion rates and meet market demand. In the process of beef cattle farming, it is necessary to separate and group the cattle for easier management and feeding.

[0003] Currently, in the process of separating and transporting beef cattle, existing cattle separating equipment generally has an adjustable outlet diversion area at the weighing platform, along with diversion channels, to separate the cattle. After weighing, the cattle remain in the diversion area. After the corresponding diversion channel is opened, the cattle are driven into the corresponding channel by means of herding. If the cattle do not leave the diversion area, it will cause a blockage, and the cattle waiting to be separated cannot be weighed. At the same time, the existing diversion channel structure is generally a simple rigid steel structure. When the cattle pass through the diversion channel, the collision with the side grid can easily cause stress reactions in the cattle, leading to decreased feed intake, group stress, slowed growth, or increased susceptibility to disease. Furthermore, the existing diversion channels are... The fixed structure, with its fixed width, makes it easy for larger cattle to bump into the side grids and cause stress when passing through. Smaller cattle, due to the larger distance between the sides, are more likely to linger inside the diversion channel or even turn around, affecting diversion efficiency. Furthermore, existing grouping equipment is functionally limited, only capable of grouping cattle. Therefore, this paper proposes an intelligent cattle grouping and transfer device. This device uses two alternating sets of transfer vehicles to reduce the time it takes for cattle to enter the diversion channel from the weighing trough, improving transfer efficiency. The diversion channel incorporates protective components to minimize impact on the cattle herd, and a body width detector inside the weighing trough allows for adjustment of the diversion channel width based on the different body widths of the cattle, further reducing stress during cattle grouping. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in the prior art, this invention provides an intelligent cattle herding and transfer device. By using two sets of transfer vehicles that move alternately, the device reduces the time it takes for cattle to enter the diversion channel from the weighing trough, thereby improving transfer efficiency. At the same time, the diversion channel is equipped with protective components to reduce the impact on the cattle herd. Furthermore, the body width detection device installed inside the weighing trough can adjust the width of the diversion channel according to the different body widths of the cattle, further reducing the stress of herding cattle.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is a beef cattle intelligent grouping and transfer device, including a central pen, a base, a diversion seat and a diversion channel. The outlet side of the central pen is provided with diversion channels to guide beef cattle into different areas. The outlet side of the central pen is provided with a base, and a diversion seat is provided between the base and the inlet end of the diversion channel.

[0006] The base has a built-in weighing platform with a built-in weighing sensor, and a weighing trough for weighing beef cattle is installed on the top of the weighing platform. Infrared ranging sensors A are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the weighing trough, and the body width of the beef cattle is measured by infrared ranging sensors A. Transfer cart A and transfer cart B are slidably connected to the top two sides of the diversion seat, respectively. Servo motor driven winches are respectively installed on both sides of the end of the diversion seat, and the winches are connected to transfer cart A and transfer cart B through cables wound around the outer periphery.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the cattle to be separated are driven into the centralized pen and then enter the weighing tank in sequence. The weighing platform weighs the cattle after they enter the weighing tank. At the same time, one of the transfer vehicles A or B is connected to the weighing tank. After weighing, the cattle enter transfer vehicle A or B and are driven by a winch to slide horizontally on the top of the diversion seat so that it is aligned with the diversion channel of the corresponding section. At this time, the other transfer vehicle is aligned with the weighing tank. As the cattle enter the diversion channel from the transfer vehicle, the other transfer vehicle is connected to the weighing tank for loading. This cycle is repeated to achieve continuous weighing and diversion processing, reduce time consumption, and improve diversion efficiency.

[0008] Specifically, a fixed grille is vertically welded to one side of the top of the diversion channel, and a movable grille is slidably connected to the other side of the top of the diversion channel. Sleeves are welded to opposite sides of the surfaces of the fixed grille and the movable grille. Springs are installed inside the sleeves and arc-shaped buffer seats are movably connected to them through the springs.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the side of the diversion channel is composed of corresponding fixed grids and movable grids. The surfaces of both the fixed grids and the movable grids are equipped with arc-shaped buffer seats through sleeves and springs. When the beef cattle pass through the diversion channel into the transfer area, if they collide with the side of the diversion channel, the arc-shaped buffer seats will compress the springs to provide a certain buffer space and avoid direct hard contact that could cause stress to the cattle.

[0010] Specifically, both sides of the diversion channel are provided with horizontal slide rails B, which are connected to the movable grille. The top of the diversion channel is equipped with an electric push rod B at the end of the slide rail B, and the power output end of the electric push rod B is connected to the bottom of the movable grille.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable grid is connected to the diversion channel via the slide rail B, allowing it to slide more smoothly on the top of the diversion channel. The movement of the movable grid is controlled by the electric push rod B. During grouping, the electric push rod B drives the movable grid to move and adjust the internal width of the diversion channel according to the weight and body width of different cattle.

[0012] Specifically, the top of the diverter seat is provided with a horizontal slide rail A, which is connected to the transfer car A and the transfer car B. The sensor signal output terminal inside the weighing platform is connected to the servo motor control component of the winch drive end through an external processing controller.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the slide rail A enables the transfer vehicle A and transfer vehicle B to move smoothly on the top of the diversion seat. After the weighing platform weighs the cattle, the internal weighing sensor feeds the data back to the external processing controller. Based on the preset weight range of each diversion channel, the controller determines and identifies the appropriate diversion channel and transmits the data to the servo motor drive control terminal of the winch, which then controls the transfer vehicle to move the cattle to the end of the appropriate diversion channel.

[0014] Specifically, movable baffles A are slidably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the transfer vehicle A facing the central circle position, and movable baffles B are slidably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the transfer vehicle B facing the diversion channel position. Both transfer vehicles A and B have horizontally opened grooves on both sides. Electric push rods A are installed on the outer walls of both transfer vehicles A and B near the end of the grooves. The power output end of the electric push rod A passes through the groove and is connected to the side of the movable baffle through a connector.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, movable baffle A and movable baffle B are respectively installed in transfer vehicle A and inside transfer vehicle B. When cattle are loaded into transfer vehicle A, movable baffle A is pushed out by electric push rod A, so that its end connects with the weighing trough, and cattle can enter the interior of transfer vehicle A from the weighing trough. When cattle are moved out of transfer vehicle B, movable baffle B is pushed out by electric push rod A, and its end connects with the corresponding diversion channel, so that cattle can enter the corresponding diversion channel.

[0016] Specifically, both the electric push rod A and the electric push rod B are equipped with an infrared ranging sensor B at their power output ends. The communication end of the infrared ranging sensor B is connected to the communication end of an external processing controller, and the communication end of the infrared ranging sensor A is connected to the control end of the electric push rod B through the external processing controller.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance sensor B is used to monitor the movement amplitude of the power ends of electric linear actuators A and B and feed the data back to the external processing controller to ensure the precise operation of the electric linear actuators.

[0018] Specifically, each of the arc-shaped buffer seats has a connecting rod welded to the side facing the spring, and the connecting rod is connected to the end of the spring. The arc-shaped buffer seats are all made of thickened sponge.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped buffer seat is connected to the spring through the connecting rod to form a buffer structure. At the same time, the arc-shaped buffer seat made of thickened sponge can also play a good role in buffering and protection.

[0020] Specifically, a collection seat is laid at the bottom of each diversion channel, and an inclined plate is welded obliquely to the bottom of the collection seat. A drain hole is opened on the side of the collection seat at the bottom end of the inclined plate. The bottom of the diversion channel is made of hollow grid.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, a collection seat is provided at the bottom of the diversion channel and the bottom material of the diversion channel is a hollow grid. If the cattle defecate when passing through the inside of the diversion channel, the excrement will fall into the collection seat. Due to the inclined plate structure inside, it is convenient to wash and allow the excrement to be discharged from the discharge hole, keeping the diversion channel clean.

[0022] Specifically, a horizontal plate is welded to the top of the weighing tank, and an infrared thermometer is installed at the bottom of the horizontal plate. An alarm light is installed on the top of the weighing tank. An emergency transfer port is opened on one side of the weighing tank, and a movable door for closing the emergency transfer port is movably connected to the side of the weighing tank via a rotating shaft. An electric lock is installed at the connection between the end of the movable door and the emergency transfer port. The signal output terminal of the infrared thermometer is connected to the control terminal of the alarm light and the electric lock through an external processing controller.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, an infrared thermometer is installed inside the weighing tank. The movable door is generally in a closed state. After the beef cattle enter the weighing tank, in addition to weighing and measuring the body width, the infrared thermometer can also perform a preliminary detection of the beef cattle's body temperature. The data is fed back to the external processing controller. At the same time, the normal body temperature range value is preset in the external processing controller. When the infrared thermometer detects data exceeding the normal range value, the external processing controller controls the alarm light to illuminate and the electric lock to open, allowing the movable door to open. At this time, the beef cattle inside the weighing tank can be led out through the emergency transfer port for isolation and further inspection, preventing sick beef cattle from entering the diversion channel and coming into contact with other beef cattle, thus reducing the risk of disease transmission.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0025] (1) The intelligent grouping and transfer device for beef cattle described in this invention involves herding the grouped beef cattle into a centralized enclosure, and then sequentially entering a weighing trough. Transfer vehicles A and B operate under the action of a winch driven by a servo motor, controlling the release and retraction of the cable to drive transfer vehicles A and B to slide horizontally on the top of the distribution seat. The weighing platform uses its internal weighing sensors to weigh the beef cattle after they enter the weighing trough. At the same time, infrared ranging sensor A operates to measure the distance between the two sides of the inner wall of the weighing trough and the two sides of the beef cattle's body surface. Combined with the pre-measured width of the weighing trough, the body width of the beef cattle can be calculated. Transfer vehicle A or One of the transfer vehicles B connects to the weighing trough. After weighing, the cattle enter either transfer vehicle A or transfer vehicle B. Different diversion channels are used to transfer cattle of different sizes. A winch drives the transfer vehicle to slide horizontally on top of the diversion seat so that it aligns with the diversion channel of the corresponding diversion section, allowing the weighed cattle to enter the diversion channel. At this time, another transfer vehicle aligns with the weighing trough. As the cattle move from the transfer vehicle to the diversion channel, the other transfer vehicle connects to the weighing trough for loading. This cycle is repeated to achieve continuous weighing and diversion processing, avoiding the cattle from staying in the transfer area after weighing, reducing time consumption, and improving diversion efficiency.

[0026] (2) The intelligent grouping and transfer device for beef cattle described in this invention consists of fixed grids and movable grids on the side of the diversion channel. Both the fixed grids and the movable grids have arc-shaped buffer seats installed on their surfaces through sleeves and springs. When the beef cattle pass through the diversion channel into the transfer area, if they collide with the side of the diversion channel, the arc-shaped buffer seat itself will deform. At the same time, if it continues to be squeezed, the arc-shaped buffer seat will squeeze the spring, causing the arc-shaped buffer seat to move towards the fixed grid or the movable grid. The compression deformation of the spring and the movement of the arc-shaped buffer seat provide a certain buffer space, avoiding the stress response of the cattle caused by direct hard contact with the traditional grid.

[0027] (3) In the intelligent grouping and transfer device for beef cattle described in this invention, during the weighing process of beef cattle inside the weighing trough, the infrared ranging sensor A feeds back the measured data to the external processing controller. The body width of the beef cattle can be obtained by subtracting the measured data of the infrared ranging sensors A on both sides from the pre-input width inside the weighing trough. Based on the body width and weight data of the beef cattle, the electric push rod B of the corresponding diversion channel is controlled to operate, so that its power end drives the movable grid to slide on the top of the diversion channel, adjusting the distance between it and the fixed grid. This ensures that the beef cattle have enough space to move when passing through the diversion channel, reducing the collision with the side of the diversion channel. At the same time, it can also adjust the restriction to avoid the problem of beef cattle stopping and turning around due to the excessive width inside the diversion channel, ensuring that the beef cattle pass through the diversion channel more smoothly, safely and efficiently into the corresponding diversion area.

[0028] (4) The intelligent group transfer device for beef cattle described in this invention has a normally closed side door of the weighing tank. After the beef cattle enter the weighing tank, in addition to weighing and measuring the body width, the infrared thermometer can also perform a preliminary detection of the beef cattle's body temperature. The data is fed back to the external processing controller. At the same time, the normal body temperature range is preset in the external processing controller. When the infrared thermometer detects data that exceeds the normal range, the external processing controller controls the alarm light to light up and the electric lock to open, so that the door can be opened. At this time, the beef cattle inside the weighing tank can be led out through the emergency transfer port for isolation and further inspection, preventing sick beef cattle from entering the diversion channel and coming into contact with other beef cattle, thus reducing the risk of disease transmission.

[0038] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is a beef cattle intelligent grouping and transfer device, including a central circle 1, a base 2, a diversion seat 204 and a diversion channel 3. The outlet side of the central circle 1 is provided with diversion channels 3 to guide beef cattle into different areas. The outlet side of the central circle 1 is provided with a base 2, and a diversion seat 204 is provided between the base 2 and the inlet end of the diversion channel 3.

[0041] The base 2 is equipped with a weighing platform 201 with a built-in weighing sensor, and a weighing trough 202 for weighing beef cattle is installed on the top of the weighing platform 201. Infrared ranging sensors A203 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the weighing trough 202, and the body width of the beef cattle is measured by the infrared ranging sensors A203. Transfer vehicles A208 and B209 are slidably connected to the top two sides of the diversion seat 204, respectively. Servo motor driven winches 206 are respectively provided on both sides of the end of the diversion seat 204, and the winches 206 are connected to the transfer vehicles A208 and B209 through cables 207 wound around the outer periphery.

[0042] In operation, the cattle to be divided are driven into the central pen 1 and then enter the weighing trough 202 in sequence. The weighing platform 201 weighs the cattle after they enter the weighing trough 202. At the same time, one of the transfer vehicles A208 or B209 is connected to the weighing trough 202. After weighing, the cattle enter the transfer vehicle A208 or B209 and are driven by the winch 206 to slide horizontally on the top of the diversion seat 204 so that it is aligned with the diversion channel 3 of the corresponding section. At this time, the other transfer vehicle is aligned with the weighing trough 202. As the cattle enter the diversion channel 3 from the transfer vehicle, the other transfer vehicle is connected to the weighing trough 202 to process the cattle. This cycle is repeated to achieve continuous weighing and diversion processing, reduce time consumption, and improve diversion efficiency.

[0043] Specifically, a fixed grille 301 is vertically welded to one side of the top of the diversion channel 3, and a movable grille 302 is slidably connected to the other side of the top of the diversion channel 3. A sleeve 303 is welded to the opposite side of the surfaces of the fixed grille 301 and the movable grille 302. A spring 304 is installed inside the sleeve 303, and an arc-shaped buffer seat 305 is movably connected to the spring 304.

[0044] In use, the side of the diversion channel 3 is composed of corresponding fixed grids 301 and movable grids 302. The surfaces of both the fixed grids 301 and the movable grids 302 are equipped with arc-shaped buffer seats 305 through sleeves 303 and springs 304. When the beef cattle pass through the diversion channel 3 into the transfer area, if they collide with the side of the diversion channel 3, the arc-shaped buffer seats 305 will compress the springs 304, providing a certain buffer space and avoiding direct hard contact that could cause stress in the cattle.

[0045] Specifically, both sides of the diversion channel 3 are provided with horizontal slide rails B4 and connected to the movable grille 302. The top of the diversion channel 3 is equipped with an electric push rod B401 at the end of the slide rail B4, and the power output end of the electric push rod B401 is connected to the bottom of the movable grille 302.

[0046] In use, the movable grille 302 is connected to the diversion channel 3 via the slide rail B4, allowing it to slide more smoothly on the top of the diversion channel 3. The movement of the movable grille 302 is controlled by the electric push rod B401. When dividing the cattle, the electric push rod B401 drives the movable grille 302 to move and adjust the internal width of the diversion channel 3 according to the weight and body width of different cattle.

[0047] Specifically, the top of the diverter seat 204 is provided with a horizontal slide rail A205, which is connected to the transfer car A208 and the transfer car B209. The sensor signal output terminal inside the weighing platform 201 is connected to the servo motor control component of the winch 206 drive end through an external processing controller.

[0048] In use, the slide rail A205 allows the transfer carts A208 and B209 to move smoothly on top of the diversion seat 204. After the weighing platform 201 weighs the cattle, the internal weighing sensor feeds the data back to the external processing controller. Based on the preset weight range of each diversion channel 3, the controller determines and identifies the appropriate diversion channel 3 and transmits the data to the servo motor drive control terminal of the winch 206, which then controls the transfer carts to move the cattle to the appropriate end of the diversion channel 3.

[0049] Specifically, movable baffles A210 are slidably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the transfer vehicle A208 facing the central ring 1, and movable baffles B211 are slidably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the transfer vehicle B209 facing the diversion channel 3. Both sides of the transfer vehicle A208 and the transfer vehicle B209 are provided with horizontally oriented sliding grooves 212. Electric push rods A213 are installed on the outer walls of the transfer vehicle A208 and the transfer vehicle B209 near the ends of the sliding grooves 212. The power output end of the electric push rods A213 passes through the sliding grooves 212 and is connected to the side of the movable baffles through a connector.

[0050] In use, movable baffles A210 and B211 are respectively installed in the transfer vehicle A208 and inside the transfer vehicle. When cattle are loaded into the transfer vehicle A208, movable baffle A210 is pushed out by electric push rod A213, so that its end connects with the weighing trough 202, and the cattle can enter the transfer vehicle A208 from the weighing trough 202. When the cattle are moved out of the transfer vehicle B209, movable baffle B211 is pushed out by electric push rod A213, and its end connects with the corresponding diversion channel 3, so that the cattle can enter the corresponding diversion channel 3.

[0051] Specifically, both the electric actuator A213 and the electric actuator B401 are equipped with an infrared ranging sensor B402 at their power output ends. The communication end of the infrared ranging sensor B402 is connected to the communication end of an external processing controller. The communication end of the infrared ranging sensor A203 is connected to the control end of the electric actuator B401 through the external processing controller.

[0052] During use, the distance sensor B is used to monitor the movement amplitude of the power end of electric linear actuators A213 and B401 and feed the data back to the external processing controller to ensure the precise operation of the electric linear actuators.

[0053] Specifically, each of the arc-shaped buffer seats 305 has a connecting rod 306 welded to the side facing the spring 304 and is connected to the end of the spring 304 through the connecting rod 306. The arc-shaped buffer seats 305 are all made of thickened sponge.

[0054] In use, the arc-shaped buffer seat 305 is connected to the spring 304 via the connecting rod 306 to form a buffer structure. At the same time, the arc-shaped buffer seat 305, which is made of thickened sponge, can also play a good role in buffering and protection.

[0055] In operation, the herded cattle are driven into the central pen 1 and then sequentially enter the weighing trough 202. Transfer vehicles A208 and B209 operate under the action of a winch 206 driven by a servo motor, controlling the winding and unwinding of the cable 207 to move vehicles A208 and B209 horizontally on top of the distribution seat 204. The weighing platform 201 uses its internal weighing sensors to weigh the cattle after they enter the weighing trough 202. Simultaneously, the infrared distance sensor A203 operates to measure the distance between the two sides of the inner wall of the weighing trough 202 and the two sides of the cattle's body surface. Combined with the pre-measured width of the weighing trough 202, the body width of the cattle can be calculated. One of the transfer vehicles, A208 or B209, is positioned relative to the weighing trough 202. 2. After weighing, the cattle enter either transfer vehicle A208 or transfer vehicle B209. Different diversion channels 3 are used to transfer cattle of different sizes. The winch 206 drives the transfer vehicle to slide horizontally on top of the diversion seat 204, aligning it with the diversion channel 3 of the corresponding diversion section, so that the weighed cattle enter the diversion channel 3. At this time, another transfer vehicle aligns with the weighing trough 202. During the process of the cattle entering the diversion channel 3 from the transfer vehicle, the other transfer vehicle docks with the weighing trough 202 to process the cattle. This cycle is repeated to achieve continuous weighing and diversion processing, avoiding the cattle from staying in the transfer area after weighing, reducing time consumption, and improving diversion efficiency. The sides of the diversion channel 3 are composed of corresponding fixed grids 301 and movable grids 302. Both the fixed grid 301 and the movable grid 302 have arc-shaped buffer seats 305 installed on their surfaces via sleeves 303 and springs 304. When the cattle pass through the diversion channel 3 into the transfer area, if they collide with the side of the diversion channel 3, the arc-shaped buffer seats themselves will deform. If they continue to be compressed, the arc-shaped buffer seats 305 will compress the springs 304, causing the arc-shaped buffer seats 305 to move towards either the fixed grid 301 or the movable grid 302. The compression deformation of the springs 304 and the movement of the arc-shaped buffer seats 305 provide a certain buffer space, avoiding the stress response of the cattle caused by direct hard contact with traditional grids. During the weighing process of the cattle inside the weighing trough 202, the infrared ranging sensor A203 will measure the data. Feedback is sent to an external processing controller. By subtracting the measured data from the infrared ranging sensors A203 on both sides from the pre-inputted internal width of the weighing trough 202, the body width of the beef cattle can be obtained. Based on the body width and weight data of the beef cattle, the electric push rod B401 of the corresponding diversion channel 3 is controlled to operate. Its power end drives the movable grid 302 to slide on the top of the diversion channel 3, adjusting the distance between it and the fixed grid 301. This ensures that the beef cattle have sufficient space to move when passing through the interior of the diversion channel 3, reducing the possibility of collisions with the sides of the diversion channel 3. At the same time, it can also adjust the restrictions to avoid the problem of the beef cattle stopping and turning around due to the excessive width of the interior of the diversion channel 3, ensuring that the beef cattle pass through the diversion channel 3 more smoothly, safely and efficiently into the corresponding diversion area.

[0056] Example 2:

[0057] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is a beef cattle intelligent grouping and transfer device, including a central circle 1, a base 2, a diversion seat 204 and a diversion channel 3. The outlet side of the central circle 1 is provided with diversion channels 3 to guide beef cattle into different areas. The outlet side of the central circle 1 is provided with a base 2, and a diversion seat 204 is provided between the base 2 and the inlet end of the diversion channel 3.

[0058] The base 2 is equipped with a weighing platform 201 with a built-in weighing sensor, and a weighing trough 202 for weighing beef cattle is installed on the top of the weighing platform 201. Infrared ranging sensors A203 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the weighing trough 202, and the body width of the beef cattle is measured by the infrared ranging sensors A203. Transfer vehicles A208 and B209 are slidably connected to the top two sides of the diversion seat 204, respectively. Servo motor driven winches 206 are respectively provided on both sides of the end of the diversion seat 204, and the winches 206 are connected to the transfer vehicles A208 and B209 through cables 207 wound around the outer periphery.

[0059] Specifically, the bottom of each diversion channel 3 is provided with a collection seat 5, and the bottom of the collection seat 5 is inclinedly welded with a sloping plate 502. The side of the collection seat 5 is provided with a drain hole 501 at the bottom end of the sloping plate 502. The bottom of the diversion channel 3 is made of hollow grid.

[0060] When in use, the bottom of the diversion channel 3 is equipped with a collection seat 5 and the bottom of the diversion channel 3 is made of hollow grid. If the cattle defecate when passing through the inside of the diversion channel 3, the excrement will fall into the collection seat 5. Due to the internal inclined plate 502 structure, it is easy to rinse and the excrement is discharged from the discharge hole 501, keeping the diversion channel 3 clean.

[0061] Specifically, a horizontal plate 6 is welded to the top of the weighing trough 202, and an infrared thermometer 601 is installed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 6. An alarm light 602 is installed on the top of the weighing trough 202. An emergency transfer port 603 is opened on one side of the weighing trough 202, and a movable door 604 for closing the emergency transfer port 603 is movably connected to the side of the weighing trough 202 via a rotating shaft. An electric lock 605 is installed at the connection between the end of the movable door 604 and the emergency transfer port 603. The signal output terminal of the infrared thermometer 601 is connected to the control terminal of the alarm light 602 and the electric lock 605 through an external processing controller.

[0062] In use, an infrared thermometer 601 is installed inside the weighing tank 202. The movable door 604 is normally closed. After the cattle enter the weighing tank 202, in addition to weighing and measuring the body width, the infrared thermometer 601 can also perform a preliminary detection of the cattle's body temperature. The data is fed back to the external processing controller. At the same time, the normal body temperature range is preset in the external processing controller. When the data detected by the infrared thermometer 601 exceeds the normal range, the external processing controller controls the alarm light 602 to light up, and at the same time the electric lock 605 is opened, so that the movable door 604 can be opened. At this time, the cattle inside the weighing tank 202 can be led out through the emergency transfer port 603 for isolation and further inspection, preventing sick cattle from entering the diversion channel 3 and coming into contact with other cattle, thus reducing the risk of disease transmission.

[0063] In use, the side door 604 of the weighing tank 202 is normally closed. After the cattle enter the weighing tank 202, in addition to weighing and measuring their body width, the infrared thermometer 601 can also perform a preliminary detection of the cattle's body temperature. The data is then fed back to the external processing controller. A normal body temperature range is preset within the external processing controller. When the data detected by the infrared thermometer 601 exceeds the normal range, the external processing controller activates the alarm light 602 and simultaneously opens the electric lock 605, allowing the door 604 to open. At this time, the cattle inside the weighing tank 202 can be led out through the emergency transfer port 603 for isolation and further inspection, preventing sick cattle from entering the diversion channel 3 and coming into contact with other cattle, thus reducing the risk of disease transmission. The bottom of the diversion channel 3 is equipped with a collection seat 5 and the bottom material of the diversion channel 3 is a hollow grid. If the cattle defecate when passing through the inside of the diversion channel 3, the excrement will fall into the collection seat 5. Due to the internal inclined plate 502 structure, it is easy to wash and the excrement is discharged from the discharge hole 501, keeping the diversion channel 3 clean.
