DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 4 ,

[0024] The apparatus comprises a support frame 1 and a weighing scale 11, wherein the weighing scale 11 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 1. The livestock stands on the weighing scale 11 to measure their weight. The support frame 1 is provided with a measuring mechanism 2, which is convenient for measuring the body size of the livestock.

[0025] The measuring mechanism 2 includes an infrared rangefinder 1 27 and an infrared rangefinder 2 271. The infrared rangefinder 1 27 and the infrared rangefinder 2 271 are respectively installed on the top of the support frame 1. The infrared rangefinder 1 27 is arranged in front of the top of the support frame 1, and the infrared rangefinder 2 271 is arranged in the middle of the support frame 1. The body length of the livestock is measured by the infrared rangefinder 1 27. When the infrared rangefinder 1 27 detects that the livestock enters the support frame 1, the measurement starts. After the livestock completely enters the support frame 1, the measurement ends. The measurement result is displayed by the electric control box 211. The distance between the infrared rangefinder 271 and the bottom of the support frame 1 is fixed. When the livestock completely enters the support frame 1, the distance between the infrared rangefinder 271 and the livestock is measured again. The height distance of the livestock is obtained by subtracting the distance between the infrared rangefinder 271 and the livestock from the total height distance.

[0026] A support plate 21 is installed at one side end of the support frame 1. The support plate 21 is not only used to protect the side end of the support frame 1, but also used to support and install the electric control box 211 and the hydraulic rod 22. The electric control box 211 and the hydraulic rod 22 are respectively installed on the support plate 21. The electric control box 211 is equipped with a single-chip microcomputer, and the various devices in the measuring mechanism 2 are connected by wires. The hydraulic rod 22 is used to drive the limit plate 23 to push and pull to adjust the position. The output end of the hydraulic rod 22 is connected to the limit plate 23. After the livestock completely enters the support frame 1, the limit plate 23 and the limit plate 26 are used to limit the livestock to prevent the livestock from shaking inside the support frame 1 and making it inconvenient to measure. A groove 231 is opened at the upper end of the limit plate 23, and the groove 231 is used to insert and support the measuring rod 263. The other side of the support frame 1 A support plate 24 is installed at the end, and the support plate 24 is not only used for protecting the side end of the support frame 1, but also for supporting and installing a hydraulic rod 25. A hydraulic rod 25 is installed on the support plate 24, and the hydraulic rod 25 is used to drive the limit plate 26 to push and pull to adjust the position. The output end of the hydraulic rod 25 is connected to the limit plate 26, and a groove 261 is opened on the upper end of the limit plate 26, through which the measuring rod 263 is convenient to rotate. The measuring rod 263 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the groove 261. A motor 262 is also installed at one end of the limit plate 26, and the output end of the motor 262 is connected to the measuring rod 263. The motor 262 drives the measuring rod 263 to rotate, so that the other end of the measuring rod 263 is inserted into the groove 231. The body width data of the livestock can be obtained by observing the scale on the measuring rod 263.

[0027] The front end of the support frame 1 is rotatably mounted with a front baffle 28, which is used to prevent livestock from walking out of the support frame 1. A through hole 282 is provided on the front baffle 28. Through the through hole 282, it is not only convenient to observe the measuring rod 263, but also allows the livestock to see the outside of the support frame 1, reducing the fear of the livestock and avoiding the restlessness of the livestock. A motor 281 is installed on the top of the support frame 1, and the front baffle 28 can be automatically controlled to rotate open and close through the motor 281. The output end of the motor 281 is connected to the front baffle 28. The rear end of the support frame 1 is rotatably mounted with a rear baffle 29, which 29 is used to block the rear end of the support frame 1 to prevent the livestock from retreating backwards from the support frame 1. A hydraulic rod 3 292 is installed on the rear baffle 29, and the output end of the hydraulic rod 3 292 is connected to the driving plate 293. After the livestock is measured in the support frame 1, the driving plate 293 can be pushed by the hydraulic rod 3 292, and the livestock is pushed by the driving plate 293 to be pushed out of the support frame 1. A motor 3 291 is also installed on the top of the support frame 1. The rear baffle 29 can be automatically controlled to rotate open and close by the motor 3 291, and the output end of the motor 3 291 is connected to the rear baffle 29.

[0028] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the motor three 291 controls the rear baffle plate 29 to rotate and open, and the livestock is driven into the support frame 1. When the infrared rangefinder one 27 detects that the livestock has entered the support frame 1, the measurement begins. The measurement ends after the livestock has completely entered the support frame 1. The measurement result is displayed by the electric control box 211. The body length of the livestock is measured by the infrared rangefinder one 27. The distance between the infrared rangefinder two 271 and the bottom of the support frame 1 is fixed. When the livestock has completely entered the support frame 1, the distance between the infrared rangefinder two 271 and the livestock is measured again. The height distance of the livestock is obtained by subtracting the distance between the infrared rangefinder two 271 and the livestock from the total height distance. When the livestock has completely entered the support frame 1, the motor three 291 controls the rear baffle plate 29 to rotate and close, and the hydraulic rod one 22 is used to limit the livestock. The positioning plate 1 23 is pushed, and at the same time, the hydraulic rod 25 pushes the limiting plate 26. The livestock is limited by the limiting plate 1 23 and the limiting plate 26 to prevent the livestock from shaking inside the support frame 1 and making it inconvenient to measure. The motor 1 262 drives the measuring rod 263 to rotate, so that the other end of the measuring rod 263 is inserted into the groove 1 231. The body width data of the livestock can be obtained by observing the scale on the measuring rod 263 through the through hole 282. The motor 1 262 drives the measuring rod 263 to reverse 90 degrees, and the limiting plate 1 23 and the limiting plate 26 are retreated and reset at the same time. The motor 281 controls the front baffle 28 to rotate and open. The hydraulic rod 3 292 pushes the driving plate 293, and the livestock is pushed by the driving plate 293, so that the livestock is pushed out of the support frame 1, thereby completing the body measurement of the livestock.

[0029] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, various modifications may be made thereto and parts thereof may be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various features in the embodiments disclosed in the present invention may be used in combination with each other in any manner, and the fact that these combinations are not exhaustively described in this specification is only for the sake of omitting space and saving resources. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
