[0024] In the initial state, the overlooking pendant is arranged at the top of the support frame in a horizontal direction and supported by the bottom support member 6. When in use, the overlooking pendant is rotated to a vertical state, and the cow is photographed from a overlooking perspective through the overlooking camera on the top.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the radio frequency reading assembly 3 is rotatably mounted on one side of the measuring frame body through a crossbar hanger mounted on the outside of the measuring frame. Furthermore, a plurality of crossbar hangers 14 are evenly arranged on the outside of the square steel tube of the measuring frame body in the horizontal direction, and a bending piece 15 with opposite openings is also arranged near the middle below the crossbar hanger. The radio frequency reading assembly includes a crossbar 16, a vertical bar 31 and a radio frequency reader 13. One end of the crossbar 16 is rotatably mounted on the crossbar hanger 14 in the horizontal direction, and the other end extends in a direction away from the crossbar hanger. The end is vertically hinged with a vertical bar 31, and the bottom of the vertical bar 31 is fixed with the radio frequency reader 13 toward the inner cavity of the measuring frame body.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, in the initial state, the cross bar 16 drives the vertical bar 31 to flip toward the middle of the measuring frame body, and the vertical bar 31 is fixed to the outer side of the measuring frame body through the bending piece 15. The horizontal hanging piece 14 and the bending piece 15 are symmetrically distributed on the outer side of the square steel tube of the measuring frame body. When in use, just flip the cross bar upward to the position of the open end of the measuring frame body. And the radio frequency reading component can be installed on the outer side wall of the square steel tube near two different opening ends according to actual user needs.

[0027] A plurality of reinforcing rod fixing parts 9 are welded transversely to the outer side wall of the measuring frame body opposite to the radio frequency reading component. The side view acquisition component 4 includes a triangular support rod 7, a drooping rod 17 and a side view camera 12. The triangular support rod 7 is rotatably mounted on the support rod hanger 32 in the middle. The triangular support rod is connected with a reinforcing rod 8. One end of the reinforcing rod is connected to the middle of the triangular support rod, and the other end is rotatably mounted on the reinforcing rod fixing part 9. The horizontal shaking of the reinforcing rod can be prevented by the bite locking of the reinforcing rod and the triangular support rod.

[0028] The triangular support rod extends outward, and a drooping rod 17 is fixedly installed at the end along the vertical direction. An outer rod 18 is slidably mounted outside the drooping rod. A side-view camera 12 is fixedly installed on the outer rod 18 toward the inner cavity of the support frame body, and mounting holes of the same size are respectively provided on the drooping rod and the outer rod.

[0029] In this way, the position of the side-view camera on the outer rod can be adjusted and limited by adjusting the upper and lower positions of the outer rod 18 on the drooping rod and inserting the pins into the mounting holes aligned on the drooping rod and the outer rod, so as to adapt to the image acquisition of beef cattle of different heights. In addition, the horizontal support part adopts a triangular support method, which can enhance the vertical strength and prevent the side-view camera from shaking up and down.

When in use, the two are rotated in directions close to each other, the end of the reinforcing rod is matched and engaged with the triangular support, fixed by a pin or screw, and then the position of the outer rod and the side view camera are adaptively adjusted to realize the collection of information on the side position of the beef cattle.

[0031] The present invention provides an integrated beef cattle body size measuring frame. Before use, the measuring frame body is in a regular cubic frame structure, and each measuring component is fixed at an initial position, which saves space, is convenient for transportation, and is also beneficial for protecting the equipment mounting bracket and the inner cables. When in use, the beef cattle are first driven into the inner cavity of the measuring frame body, and then each component only needs to be unfolded to a specified position, that is, the triangular support rod and the reinforcing rod of the side-view camera are respectively pulled apart until the triangular support rod is perpendicular to the cross beam of the measuring frame body, and the end opening of the horizontal reinforcing rod is just engaged and fixed with the triangular support rod. When passing through the position of the outer rod and the side-view camera, the lateral position information of the beef cattle can be collected.

[0032] Then rotate the overhead pendant to a vertical state, driving the overhead camera to rotate at the same time, and take a bird's-eye view photo of the cattle through the overhead camera on the top; then flip the horizontal bar of the RF reading component upward to the open end of the measuring frame, and use the electronic RF reader to read the information on the beef cattle's electronic tag, such as the cattle's number, date of birth, etc., for easy recording and management, thereby realizing automated cattle body measurement and data processing.

[0033] The integrated beef cattle body size measuring frame provided by the present invention has a simple overall structure and is easy to operate. Only one staff member is required on site to quickly unfold the various measuring components, thereby reducing labor costs and time costs and improving work efficiency. At the same time, by adjusting different positions, the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the beef cattle body size measurement information can be further guaranteed; and the present invention can freely support the change of the walking direction of the cattle, that is, the openings at both ends of the measuring frame body can be used as entrances, and the installation position of the radio frequency reader can be flexibly set at the channel entrance according to the on-site conditions, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of use. Example

[0034] Based on the first embodiment, the same points as the first embodiment will not be repeated here, and the difference is that: Figure 6 As shown, the set structure of the outer sleeve rod and the inner sleeve rod can also be adopted in the following manner, specifically, including an outer sleeve 19, an inner sleeve 20 and a movable button 20, wherein the top of the outer sleeve is hinged to the end of the cross rod, the inner sleeve 20 is matched inside, and a piston head 21 is installed on the top of the inner sleeve located in the inner cavity of the outer sleeve, and a limiting ring 22 is provided at the opening of the outer sleeve to prevent the piston head of the inner sleeve from sliding out of the outer sleeve.

[0035] A plurality of mounting holes 23 are evenly arranged on the tube body of the inner sleeve, and a connecting frame 28 is fixedly installed at intervals at the end of the outer sleeve. The movable button 20 is rotatably installed on the connecting frame 28 in the horizontal direction, and the head extends out of the outer sleeve. A cylindrical pin 25 is vertically arranged at the bottom, and the cylindrical pin extends downward into the mounting hole of the inner sleeve. A top spring 26 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the end of the movable button, and the bottom of the top spring is fixedly connected to the base on the outer sleeve. The side-view camera 12 is fixedly installed on the inner sleeve.

[0036] With such a setting, in the initial state, the movable button is in a horizontal state under the action of the top spring, and the cylindrical pin is exactly matched and inserted in the mounting hole of the inner sleeve. When the vertical position of the side-view camera needs to be adjusted, only the tail of the movable button needs to be pressed downward, and the top spring is compressed. At the same time, the movable button flips upward, and the cylindrical pin disengages from the mounting hole of the inner sleeve, so that the vertical position of the inner sleeve and the side-view camera can be adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, release the movable button, and under the action of the top spring, the cylindrical pin on the front side of the movable button can be automatically matched and inserted in the selected mounting hole.

[0037] With such a setting, there is no need to frequently pull out and plug in the movable pin. Instead, the position of the side-view camera can be flexibly, conveniently and quickly adjusted by pressing or releasing the button. At the same time, it can also ensure that the movable button can automatically match the mounting hole after being released, avoiding inaccurate or loose position adjustment.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
