Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for pigeon racing, and particularly relates to a pigeon collection quantity monitoring device for pigeon racing. Background Art

[0002] During the public loft race, the referee needs to scan the ring number of each pigeon on the pigeon collector and then put it into the pigeon collection cage. This process is called the pigeon collection and caging for the race. Since the total number of pigeons is usually in thousands and the number of referees is relatively limited, it causes manual pigeon collection by personnel for a long time each time, which is extremely prone to human operation errors and the situation of missed collection. And the pigeons that are missed in collection cannot produce valid results after returning to the nest, thus having a greater negative impact on the referee group and the public loft hosting the event. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the utility model aims to overcome the above deficiencies in the prior art and proposes a pigeon collection quantity monitoring device for pigeon racing, which can count the number of pigeons in the pigeon collection cage during the pigeon collection for the race, and when a missed collection occurs, it will give a reminder through sound and light alarm in the first time.

[0010] The information display screen is used to receive the display data sent from the microcontroller and display the corresponding information.

[0011] Further, an audible and visual alarm device is also provided inside the measurement platform, which is used to receive the alarm data sent by the microcontroller and perform corresponding audible and visual alarms.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood through specific situations.

[0027] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0028] As Figure 1-2 shown, the present utility model provides a pigeon collection quantity monitoring device for pigeon racing, including a pigeon collector 1 and a measurement platform 2;

[0029] The pigeon collector 1 is used to scan the ring numbers of the pigeons in the public pigeon loft and output them to the measurement platform 2;

[0030] The measurement platform 2 is provided with a microcontroller, a counter, and a comparator inside. An information display screen 3 and operation buttons 3 are provided outside the measurement platform 2. A weighing pan 5 is provided above the measurement platform 2, and a weight detection unit 6 is provided inside the weighing pan 5; the counter, comparator, information display screen, operation buttons, and weight detection unit are all electrically connected to the microcontroller;

[0031] The weight detection unit 6 is used to weigh the entire pigeon collection cage and send the weight information to the microcontroller;

[0032] The microcontroller determines whether a pigeon has been placed in the pigeon collection cage based on the collected weight information and the scanning information of the pigeon collection device, and after comparing with the scanning data of the pigeon collection device, outputs corresponding data information;

[0033] The information display screen 3 is used to receive the display data sent by the microcontroller and display the corresponding information.

[0034] Specifically, an audible and visual alarm device is also provided in the measurement platform 2, which is used to receive the alarm data sent by the microcontroller and perform corresponding audible and visual alarms.

[0035] Specifically, the operation button 4 is a peripheral device for the operator to interact with the monitoring device.

[0036] Specifically, the weight detection unit uses a C3-level digital resistive strain sensor, the A / D conversion resolution is one in a million, the weighing resolution is 5 g, and the maximum sampling speed is 25 milliseconds per time.

[0037] Specifically, the microcontroller uses a single-chip microcomputer.

[0038] Specifically, a multi-channel interface module is provided on the single-chip microcomputer, and the pigeon collection device, the weight detection unit, the audible and visual alarm device, and the operation button are all connected to the single-chip microcomputer through the interface module.

[0039] As Figure 3 shown, when the present utility model is working, the referee first places an empty pigeon collection cage on the detection platform, connects the pigeon collection device to the present monitoring device and establishes communication, and then operates the pigeon collection device to enter the competition pigeon collection mode. At this time, the pigeon collection device sends a signal to the present monitoring device, and the microcontroller of the present monitoring device tars the weight of the pigeon collection cage on the measurement platform. When the referee successfully scans a carrier pigeon, the pigeon collection device sends a signal to the above-mentioned microcontroller. At this time, the weight detection unit continuously measures the weight on the above-mentioned detection measurement platform. When a pigeon is placed in the pigeon collection cage, the real-time weight value in the pigeon cage can be quickly detected through the weight detection unit and sent to the microcontroller. After receiving this value, the microcontroller processes it. Generally, the single pigeon weight range is between 300 g and 500 g. After the pigeon enters the pigeon collection cage, due to space constraints, the pigeon will not perform actions that can generate vertical acceleration such as jumping and flying. At this time, the weight in the cage tends to be stable, and then the stable value is compared with the preset single pigeon weight through a comparator. If it meets the preset range, it is determined that one more carrier pigeon has been added and sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller counts through a counter and sends the quantity information to the information display screen, and the pigeon collection quantity is displayed on the information display screen.

[0040] In case of the following situations, an alarm reminder will be given:

[0041] Scenario 1: When the referee successfully scans a carrier pigeon but does not put it into the pigeon collection cage. After the microcontroller receives the signal of the successful collection of the next carrier pigeon, the microcontroller determines that the situation of "escaping from the cage" occurs, that is, the pigeon does not enter the cage after collection. At this time, the sound and light alarm gives a sound alarm and prompts an error message on the information display screen.

[0042] Scenario 2: When the referee fails to scan the pigeon but mistakenly thinks that the pigeon has been successfully collected and puts the pigeon into the pigeon collection cage. At this time, the microcontroller receives the data of the precision weight detection unit but does not receive the information of successful collection of the pigeon, then the microcontroller determines that the situation of "missing scan" occurs, that is, the pigeon enters the cage without being successfully scanned. At this time, the sound and light alarm gives a sound alarm and prompts an error message on the information display screen.

[0043] There are quantity settings and warning elimination functions on the operation buttons. After the alarm message is displayed, the buttons can be operated to eliminate the alarm and correct the quantity display on the display screen.

[0044] It should be noted that all components used in the present utility model are existing products, not limited to specific models, and the connection relationships between the modules are also conventional connection relationships in the art.

[0045] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
