Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of poultry breeding, in particular to a young poultry counting device. Background Art

[0002] After the existing poultry is hatched, it will be packaged into carriers such as transfer boxes or feeding baskets through equipment such as conveyor belts after processes such as vaccination. During the packaging process, a counting device is often used to count the number of young poultry packaged in each carrier.

[0003] When purchasing young poultry outside, they also need to be packaged with counting devices, transfer frames and other carriers.

[0004] In order to ensure cost control and save space, the counting device and the carrier are usually not integrated, but work in combination, that is, one counting device is combined with different carriers in turn to perform packaging work.

[0005] Existing counting devices are often fixed in a simple manner, which makes it difficult to fix the counting device firmly due to the different wall thickness of the supporting object. The falling process of the young poultry will produce an impact force on the counting device, and the unstable fixation will easily cause the counting device to shift, which not only affects the counting effect, but also easily causes damage to the young poultry.

[0006] In addition, the existing counting device has only one outlet, which causes the young birds to often fall together. Even though the young birds are usually soft and not easily damaged, excessive stacking can easily damage the young birds at the bottom. Utility Model Content

[0007] The utility model provides a young poultry counting device to solve the problem that the existing counting device fixing method has low adaptability and is easy to damage the young poultry.

[0008] The utility model provides a young poultry counting device, comprising: a carrier, a funnel and a counter;

[0009] The carrier is a box body with a cavity inside and no top, a clamping device is provided on the outer wall of the funnel, the funnel is fixedly connected to the carrier through the clamping device, and the counter is provided on the top of the funnel and is fixedly connected to the funnel;

[0010] There are multiple clamping devices, each of which includes a telescopic plate, a fixed plate and a clamping plate, one end of the telescopic plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the funnel, and the bottom surface of the other end is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixed plate, and the fixed plate is elastically connected to the clamping plate;

[0011] A rotating shaft and a guide plate are arranged in the funnel, and the two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the funnel respectively, and the guide plate is sleeved with the rotating shaft and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0012] Among them, the side close to the funnel is the inner side, and an elastic rod is arranged between the clamping plate and the fixed plate, one end of the elastic rod is fixedly connected to the outer side surface of the clamping plate, and the other end of the elastic rod is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the fixed plate.

[0013] Wherein, the inner side surface of the fixing plate and the outer side surface of the clamping plate are respectively fitted with the outer wall and the inner wall of the supporting object.

[0014] Wherein, a buffer is arranged at the bottom of the support.

[0015] A protection groove is provided on one side of the top of the hole, and the counter is arranged in the protection groove.

[0016] Wherein, a display screen is fixedly connected to the outside of the funnel, and the display screen is linearly connected to the counter.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0018] By setting a clamping device outside the funnel, the counter can be detachably applied to multiple loads with different wall thicknesses. The telescopic plate and the clamping plate of the clamping device are matched to the loads with different opening sizes and wall thickness specifications, ensuring that the counting device can be tightly connected and matched with different loads.

[0019] A reversible guide plate is added in the funnel, and the young poultry slides into the load through the guide plate. When the number of young poultry on one side of the load reaches a certain number, the guide plate is flipped and the subsequent young poultry falls into the other side of the load through the flipped guide plate, and the young poultry slides into both sides of the load in a dispersed manner, preventing the young poultry from falling on one side of the load and stacking up and down, which may cause certain damage to the young poultry. Moreover, sliding through the inclined guide plate can also play a certain buffering role compared to falling directly through the funnel, further ensuring the safety of the young poultry.

[0025] In order to make the above and other purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the following is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings as follows:

[0026] The utility model proposes a device for counting young birds, referring to Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it mainly includes: a carrier 2, a funnel 1 and a counter 3.

[0027] The carrier 2 is a box body with a cavity and no top. The carrier 2 is used to pack the young poultry. A plurality of ventilation holes are provided on the side wall of the carrier 2 so that the young poultry inside can be observed at any time. A clamping device 4 is provided on the outer wall of the funnel 1. The funnel 1 is fixedly connected to the carrier 2 through the clamping device 4. The counter 3 is provided on the top of the funnel 1 and the counter 3 is fixedly connected to the funnel 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, the counter 3 adopts a counting sensor of the FS-V33 model, and its principle is to count by sensing the number of times an object passes through.

[0029] In another embodiment, the HSV image counter 3 is used to shoot images and perform counting synchronously.

[0030] Regardless of the method adopted, it is a mature existing technology. The person implementing this patent can also choose other counting methods according to the situation. The principle of this utility model will not be elaborated here.

[0031] A protective groove is provided on one side of the top of the funnel 1, and the counter 3 is arranged in the protective groove to ensure that the counting effect of the counter 3 will not be polluted by external weather or dust, etc. This is a conventional design and will not be described in detail in the present utility model.

[0032] A display screen 31 is fixedly connected to the outside of the funnel 1 , and the display screen 31 is linearly connected to the counter 3 .

[0033] The display screen 31 is responsible for receiving the counting signal of the counter 3 and displaying the corresponding data so that the user can control the quantity.

[0034] There are multiple clamping devices 4, each of which includes a telescopic plate 41, a fixed plate 42 and a clamping plate 43. The telescopic plate 41 is a common sleeve telescopic plate in the prior art, that is, it is sleeved from large to small by multiple connecting plates of different sizes. The sleeve telescopic plate includes an outer plate as the outermost layer, an inner plate as the innermost layer, and a plurality of intermediate plates arranged therebetween. Adjacent plates are connected by sliding rails, that is, the intermediate plate can slide relative to the outer plate and the inner plate, and the inner plate can slide relative to the intermediate plate. Since the sleeve telescopic plate belongs to the prior art, its sleeve and sliding connection principle are not described in detail.

[0035] One end of the telescopic plate 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the funnel 1, and the bottom surface of the other end is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixed plate 42. The two ends described in this application are the fixed end of the outermost outer plate and the sliding end of the innermost inner plate. Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the outermost outer plate of the sleeve telescopic plate 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the funnel 1, and one end of the innermost inner plate is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 42. The length of the telescopic plate is changed by relative sliding between the plates in the sleeve telescopic plate, thereby achieving the telescopic function. The side close to the funnel 1 is the inner side, and an elastic rod 44 is provided between the clamping plate 43 and the fixed plate 42, one end of the elastic rod 44 is fixedly connected to the outer side surface of the clamping plate 43, and the other end of the elastic rod 44 is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the fixed plate 42.

[0036] The elastic rod 44 is a conventional elastic connecting rod realized by a spring or other technology. Its specific principle is consistent with that of a spring and belongs to conventional prior art. Therefore, the present utility model does not elaborate on this technical feature.

[0037] The telescopic plate 41 can enable the clamping device 4 to adapt to the load-bearing objects 2 with openings of different sizes, ensuring that no matter how much the distance between the corresponding two sides of the load-bearing object 2 is, the fixing plate 42 can be moved to the corresponding appropriate position.

[0038] The clamping plate 43 is slidably connected to the telescopic plate 41 to ensure that no matter how thick the corresponding wall is, the clamping plate 43 can be pulled by the elastic rod 44 and tightly fit with the inner wall of the corresponding load 2 under the elastic force of the elastic rod 44.

[0039] Through the elastic force of the elastic rod 44 , the clamping plate 43 and the fixing plate 42 form a clamping effect on the inner and outer walls of the load 2 , and the plurality of clamping devices 4 enable the funnel 1 to be fixedly matched with the load 2 .

[0040] The specific number of the clamping devices 4 depends on the specific situation. Generally, 3-4 are the best, which can save costs and achieve the purpose of stability. In this embodiment, the number of the clamping devices 4 is three, and the side where the counter 3 is located is the rear side. The three clamping devices 4 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides and the rear side of the carrier 2.

[0041] A rotating shaft 12 and a guide plate 11 are arranged in the funnel 1 . The two ends of the rotating shaft 12 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the funnel 1 , respectively. The guide plate 11 is sleeved with the rotating shaft 12 and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 12 .

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotating shaft 12 is arranged horizontally, the rotating shaft 12 is arranged near the bottom of the funnel 1 and the central axis of the rotating shaft 12 intersects with the vertical central axis of the funnel 1, so as to ensure that the guide plate 11 is consistent in size with the outlet formed on any side.

[0043] The top of the guide plate 11 rests on the side wall of the funnel 1 to guide the output to one side of the carrier 2. When the number of young birds on that side of the carrier 2 reaches a certain number, the rotating shaft 12 is manually rotated to make the guide plate 11 rest on the side wall of the other side (such as Figure 2 As shown in the dotted line, the funnel 1 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom to generate a supporting force for the guide plate 11, so that it can output stably.

[0044] To further ensure the safety of the young birds from falling, a buffer is provided at the bottom of the carrier 2. The buffer can be any item with a buffering effect, such as a rubber pad, a filling cushion, and an air cushion, which is common knowledge and will not be described in detail in the present utility model.

[0045] The working process of the utility model is:

[0046] When it is necessary to pack the young poultry into the carrier 2, the inner side surface of the fixing plate 42 is moved to a position in contact with the outer wall of the carrier 2 through the telescopic plate 41 of the clamping device 4, and the clamping plate 43 is pulled to cause the elastic rod 44 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby generating a rebound force, and cooperating with this rebound force, the outer side surface of the clamping plate 43 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the carrier 2.

[0047] After the funnel 1 is fixed by the clamping device 4 , the young birds enter the funnel 1 through the top opening of the funnel 1 and are counted by the counter 3 .

[0048] The young birds fall into the corresponding position of the carrier 2 under the guidance of the guide plate 11. When a certain number of young birds are accumulated here, the guide plate 11 is rotated, and the top of the guide plate 11 is inclined against the inner wall on the other side of the funnel 1 to guide the young birds to another designated position of the carrier 2.

[0049] The user can know the number of young birds through the display screen 31 , and can also use the display screen 31 to assist in determining when to rotate the guide plate 11 .

[0050] Other undisclosed technologies of the present invention, such as the linear connection principle and wiring method between the counter 3 and the display screen 31, are already common knowledge, the prior art is mature, and are not the main technical problems solved by the present invention, so the present invention will not elaborate or limit them.

[0051] The above detailed description is a specific description of a feasible embodiment of the present invention, but the embodiment is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent implementation or modification that does not deviate from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the patent scope of this application.
