Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of livestock experimental breeding, in particular to an intelligent livestock weighing and breeding system. Background Art

[0002] When developing livestock feed, targeted feed needs to be configured for livestock, such as feed for pigs, sheep, cattle, etc. When feeding livestock, multiple breeding pens are arranged for the same kind of livestock, and there are about 4 - 5 livestock in each breeding pen. The livestock have tags on their ears, and different feed formulas are fed in each breeding pen. During the feeding process, it is necessary to weigh the livestock according to the plan to judge the growth situation of the livestock. Currently, when weighing, each livestock needs to be separately driven into the weighing cage and lifted out for weighing, and then registered through the information on the ear tag. This not only has a large workload but also a very low operation efficiency. Considering the actual situation, an intelligent livestock weighing and breeding system is proposed.

[0003] Although Chinese patent document CN110115234A, publication (announcement) date: August 13, 2019, discloses an intelligent weighing breeding management monitoring system and an intelligent weighing method, including one or more breeding cages for raising breeding animals. A breeding system is arranged in the breeding cage, and the breeding system further includes a data server, a gravity sensor module, an RFID sensor, a communication module, and a control chip. The control chip is connected to the gravity sensor module and the RFID sensor, and the control chip communicates with the data server through the communication module. Its characteristics are: it can obtain the accurate weight and accurate quantity of live poultry individuals in real time and count the live assets; its disadvantages are: in this system, if multiple chickens stand on the gravity sensing unit at the same time, the system cannot distinguish the weight of each chicken, so it cannot meet the weighing requirements of our company.

[0024] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0025] Embodiment 1:

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , a livestock intelligent weighing and breeding system, including a breeding area 10, a weighing device 30 and an RFID reader 21 are installed in the breeding area 10. A plurality of partition structures 20 are arranged in the breeding area 10 to form a plurality of partition weighing areas. The weighing device 30 is installed at the bottom of each partition weighing area, and the RFID reader 21 is installed in each partition weighing area; each of the RFID readers 21 and the weighing device 30 is electrically connected to the controller; when in use, the livestock carries an RFID chip. The partition structure 20 forms a partition weighing area in the breeding area 10, and the weighing device 30 is installed at the bottom of each partition weighing area, so that each livestock can be weighed, and the RFID reader 21 is installed in each partition weighing area, so as to read and identify the identity information of the RFID chip carried by the livestock in the partition weighing area, so that the weight information of each livestock can be accurately obtained.

[0027] Furthermore, in order to enable the livestock to enter the partition weighing area autonomously for weighing, at least one side of the breeding area 10 is provided with a feeding trough 40, and the partition weighing area is close to the feeding trough 40. There is feed in the feeding trough 40. When the livestock eats, it will walk into the partition weighing area for weighing.

[0028] According to the type and size of livestock, only one livestock can enter through the width of the partition weighing area formed between the partition structures 20. The area of the weighing device 30 should be such that the livestock can stand relatively loosely.

[0029] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , 3 , the weighing device 30 includes a weighing sensor 31 and a pallet 32. At least one weighing sensor 31 is installed on the lower side of the pallet 32, and the weighing sensor 31 is supported and fixed at the bottom of the partition weighing area.

[0030] In this embodiment, the weighing device 30 can be at a certain height above the ground.

[0031] However, in another preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the breeding area 10 includes a base 11, a grille 13, and a fence 14. A chute 12 is provided in the base 11. The grille 13 is installed above the chute 12 in the base 11, and the fence 14 is installed around the grille 13 on the base 11; the partition structure 20 is installed on the grille 13. The chute 12 provided in the base 11 is used to drain the urine and feces of livestock into the collection pool. The grille 13 is a metal grille.

[0032] The chute 12 in the base 11 also provides space for installing the weighing device 30. Specifically, the grille 13 is provided with an installation opening 16 in the partition weighing area. A support beam 15 is installed at the bottom of the installation opening 16 of the grille 13. The weighing sensor 31 of the weighing device 30 is installed on the support beam 15, and the pallet 32 of the weighing device 30 is installed on the weighing sensor 31. The pallet 32 is located within the installation opening 16, so that the height of the pallet 32 is roughly flush with the grille 13. When the livestock is eating, it stands on the pallet 32.

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 , 2 , the RFID reader 21 is installed on the partition structure 20 and the fence 14. The livestock are uniformly installed with RFID chips on one ear. When the livestock is eating, the position of the RFID chip is just close to the RFID reader 21, which is convenient for reading information. In application, an RFID reader 21 with an appropriate reading distance needs to be selected to prevent information confusion.

[0034] Specifically, the partition structure 20 includes a fence structure or a baffle structure.

[0035] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows:

[0036] On one side of the breeding area 10, there is a feeding trough 40. The partition weighing area is located on one side of the feeding trough 40. There is feed in the feeding trough 40. When livestock eat, the livestock will walk onto the pallet 32 of the weighing device 30 in the partition weighing area. When weighing is required according to the plan, the staff observes the standing posture of the livestock. When all the feet of the livestock are on the pallet 32, the weighing device 30 is controlled by the controller to weigh. When the livestock eat, the RFID reader 21 reads the RFID chip on the ear of the livestock to obtain the identity information, and the data is stored in the controller.

[0037] The above process is prior art. For example, a method and system for intelligent non-contact garbage classification weighing are disclosed in CN117799978A, which discloses a solution for adding an RFID system to the weighing system to identify the categories of garbage, realizing fast and automatic weighing and efficient weighing data management.
