[0023] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a weighing device for young chicken breeding includes a chicken cage body 1 and a weighing plate 4. A weighing module 2 is arranged on the chicken cage body 1. Four columns 201 are fixedly connected to the top of the weighing module 2. The four columns 201 are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the top of the weighing module 2. A collar 202 is fixedly connected to the top of each of the four columns 201. The new device is connected to the chicken cage body 1 through the collar 202. The collar 202 is divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts of the collar 202 are fixedly connected together by bolts. The new device is connected to the chicken cage body 1 through the collar 202. The weighing module 2 is hung on the chicken cage body 1 through the collar 202. The inner wall of the collar 202 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the chicken cage body 1. The top of the weighing module 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 3, and the weighing plate 4 is located below the weighing module 2.

[0024] Two sleeves 301 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 3, and the two sleeves 301 are symmetrically distributed along the longitudinal axis of the connecting plate 3. One of the sleeves 301 is fixedly connected to the first air outlet pipe 302 on the side close to the weighing module 2, and one of the sleeves 301 is fixedly connected to the second air outlet pipe 303 on the side away from the first air outlet pipe 302. A material storage component 6 is installed on one side of the second air outlet pipe 303. A transmission component 8 is installed on the connecting plate 3. The first air outlet pipe 302 in the present invention adopts a hose because the first air outlet pipe 302 in the present invention needs to rise and fall. The weighing plate 4 in the present invention is retracted by the transmission component 8 when not weighing, and is only moved to the inside of the chicken cage body 1 through the transmission component 8 when in use. The top of the weighing plate 4 is fixedly connected with a vertical rod 401, and the top of the vertical rod 401 is fixedly connected with a piston 402. The top of the weighing plate 4 is fixedly connected with a connecting pipe 403. The vertical rod 401 and the connecting pipe 403 are symmetrically distributed along the longitudinal axis of the weighing plate 4. The piston 402 and the connecting pipe 403 are slidably connected to the corresponding sleeve 301 through a transmission component 8. The top of the weighing plate 4 is fixedly connected with a box 404. The space inside the box 404 can only accommodate one young chicken, so only one young chicken is weighed each time. By regularly weighing a young chicken, its growth can be monitored, which helps the breeder understand the growth rate and health status of the chicken. The young chickens can evaluate the feeding effect. The box body 404 is located between the vertical rod 401 and the connecting pipe 403. A lifting component 5 is arranged inside the box body 404. The first air outlet pipe 302 runs through the box body 404 and is fixedly connected to the lifting component 5. In the present invention, the connecting pipe 403 is driven to move up and down inside one of the sleeves 301 by the transmission component 8. The connecting pipe 403 drives the weighing plate 4 to move up and down. The vertical rod 401 and the piston 402 move inside the other sleeve 301. When the young chickens are weighed by the weighing plate 4 in the present invention, the transmission component 8 is started to drive the connecting pipe 403 to move downward. The connecting pipe 403 drives the weighing plate 4 and the vertical rod 401 to move downward. The vertical rod 401 drives the piston 402 in the other sleeve 301. When the piston 402 moves downward, the air inside the sleeve 301 will be squeezed into the second air outlet pipe 303, and the second air outlet pipe 303 will discharge the air into the storage component 6. At this time, negative pressure is formed above the piston 402, and the negative pressure will cause the gas inside the first air bag 502 to flow back, and the gas inside the first air bag 502 will be discharged into the sleeve 301 through the first air outlet pipe 302. When the weighing plate 4 drops to the bottom of the chicken cage body 1, the transmission component 8 stops rotating. At this time, the sleeve 301 is full of air. At this time, the weighing plate 4 drops to the bottom of the chicken cage body 1. At this time, the storage component 6 has discharged the chicken feed onto the lifting plate 501. When the young chickens in the chicken cage body 1 see the chicken feed in the box 404, they will walk into the box 404.When the chicks enter the box 404, the weighing module 2 can weigh the chicks.

[0025] The lifting assembly 5 includes a lifting plate 501, which is rotatably connected to the box body 404. A first air bag 502 is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting plate 501 close to the inside of the box body 404. The bottom of the first air bag 502 is fixedly connected to the inside of the box body 404. One side of the first air bag 502 is fixedly connected to the first air outlet pipe 302. When the chickens are weighed, the motor 801 drives the screw 802 to reverse. At this time, the screw 802 drives the connecting pipe 403 to move upward, and the connecting pipe 403 drives the weighing plate 4 and the vertical rod 401 to move upward. When the vertical rod 401 drives the piston 402 to move upward, the air inside the sleeve 301 is pushed upward, and the air flows into the first air outlet pipe 302. The first air outlet pipe 302 discharges the air into the first air bag 502. At this time, the first air bag 502 begins to expand with the entry of air. The expanded first air bag 502 pushes up one side of the lifting plate 501, and the other side of the lifting plate 501 rotates on the box body 404. When one side of the lifting plate 501 rises, a slope is formed, and the slope allows the chicks to slide out of the box body 404.

[0026] The interior of the first airbag 502 in the present invention is injected with air in advance. In the original state, the weighing plate 4 and the box body 404 are in the raised state and are suspended on the chicken cage body 1. At this time, the interior of the first airbag 502 is in an expanded state because air is injected in advance, and the lifting plate 501 is lifted up and tilted. When the weighing plate 4 weighs the young chickens, the connecting pipe 403 is driven downward by starting the transmission assembly 8, and the piston 402 discharges the air into the second air outlet pipe 303, and the second air outlet pipe 303 discharges the air into the second airbag 602. A negative pressure is formed inside the sleeve 301. The generated negative pressure will cause the air inside the first airbag 502 to flow back, and the refluxed gas enters the sleeve 301 through the first air outlet pipe 302. After the air inside the first airbag 502 is evacuated, the lifting plate 501 cannot support it and falls parallel to the bottom of the box body 404, and the first airbag 502 is connected to the first air outlet pipe 302.

[0027] The material storage component 6 includes a material storage box 601, which is fixedly connected to the second air outlet pipe 303. A second air bag 602 is arranged inside the material storage box 601. One side of the second air bag 602 is fixedly connected to the second air outlet pipe 303. The other side of the second air bag 602 is rotatably connected to the feeding component 7. A partition plate 604 is fixedly connected to the middle of the material storage box 601. The partition plate 604 divides the material storage box 601 into two cavities. A through groove 605 is opened on one side of the partition plate 604. The bottom of the material storage box 601 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 603. The discharge pipe 603 in the novel device is a retractable rectangular discharge pipe. When the weighing plate 4 moves upward, the discharge pipe 603 will shrink. When the weighing plate 4 moves downward, the discharge pipe 603 will stretch and communicate with one of the cavities. The air of the second air outlet pipe 303 enters the interior of the second air bag 602. The second air bag 602 begins to expand. The expanded second air bag 602 begins to squeeze the feeding box 701. The squeezed feeding box 701 passes through the through slot 605 on the partition plate 604 and enters another cavity.

[0028] When the chicks are weighed, the weighing plate 4 rises, and the piston 402 rises to push the air inside the sleeve 301 into the first air outlet pipe 302. The first air outlet pipe 302 discharges the air into the first air bag 502. Because the second air outlet pipe 303 is connected to the second air bag 602, when the air inside the sleeve 301 is withdrawn into the first air bag 502, a negative pressure is generated inside the sleeve 301. The generated negative pressure will allow the gas inside the second air bag 602 to flow back into the sleeve 301. At this time, the second air bag 602 becomes smaller. When the second air bag 602 becomes smaller, the feeding box 701 is no longer squeezed. When the second air bag 602 becomes smaller, it can be pulled back to the feeding box 701. At this time, the feeding box 701 returns to the inside of the storage box 601.

[0029] The feeding assembly 7 includes a feeding box 701, one side of which is rotatably connected to the second airbag 602, the feeding box 701 is adapted to the through slot 605, a rectangular through slot 702 is provided on one side of the feeding box 701, the rectangular through slot 702 is in an inclined state, the inclination angle of the rectangular through slot 702 is the same as the angle of the slope 703, the inside of the feeding box 701 is fixedly connected with a slope 703, the slope 703 is located at the bottom of the rectangular through slot 702, the chicken feed is stored inside the feeding box 701, when the feeding box 701 is inside the storage box 601, the chicken feed is located on one side of the slope 703, and the inclined rectangular through slot 702 can prevent the chicken feed from flowing out of the slope 703;

[0030] When the second airbag 602 enters, the air becomes larger and starts to squeeze the feeding box 701. The squeezed feeding box 701 passes through the through slot 605 on the partition plate 604, and the feeding box 701 enters another cavity. Because the feeding box 701 is rotatably connected to the second airbag 602, the feeding box 701 is now in an inclined state. When the inclination angle of the feeding box 701 reaches the maximum value, the slope 703 inside the feeding box 701 is now in a parallel state, and the rectangular through slot 702 is parallel to the slope 703. At this time, the chicken feed can flow out through the slope 703 and the rectangular through slot 702, and the outflowing chicken feed falls onto the lifting plate 501 through the discharge pipe 603, and passes through the lifting plate 501. The chicken feed on 1 attracts the young chickens to enter the box body 404, and then the young chickens are weighed. When the feeding box 701 is tilted, the chicken feed can flow out of the rectangular through slot 702. Because when the feeding box 701 is tilted, the chicken feed that first reaches one side of the rectangular through slot 702 will flow out through the rectangular through slot 702. When the chicken feed and the feeding box 701 are completely tilted, a large amount of chicken feed is gathered together. At this time, the chicken feed is all gathered on one side of the rectangular through slot 702, causing the rectangular through slot 702 to be blocked, and the chicken feed cannot fall from the feeding box 701, thus avoiding the problem of the chicken feed falling all the time. It not only satisfies the requirement that a small part of the chicken feed can fall, but also solves the problem of the chicken feed falling all the time.

[0031] The transmission assembly 8 includes a motor 801, which is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 3. The output shaft of the motor 801 is fixedly connected to a screw 802, which is located inside one of the sleeves 301. The screw 802 is threadedly connected to the connecting tube 403. In the present invention, the motor 801 drives the screw 802 to rotate. When the screw 802 rotates, it drives one of the connecting tubes 403 to move up and down. The connecting tube 403 drives the weighing plate 4 to move up and down. The motor 801 in the present invention can rotate forward and reversely. Forward rotation drives the screw 802 to rotate clockwise, and reverse rotation drives the screw 802 to rotate counterclockwise.

[0032] The weighing module 2 in the present invention weighs all the components in the present invention, including the weight of the chicken feed inside the feeding box 701, and then obtains the total weight value. When the chicks enter the box 404, the overall weight is increased, and the weight of the chicks is obtained by adding the overall weight of the chicks minus the weight of the previous components and the chicken feed. After each feeding of the chicken feed, the total weight value will decrease, because the chicken feed will be eaten by the chicks, so the overall weight will decrease each time it is weighed, but it does not affect the normal weighing of the chicks. The weight of the chicks is subsequently obtained by subtracting the total weight of the equipment from the sum of the overall weight of the equipment and the weight of the chicks.
