[0032] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the attached Figures 1-4 drawings.
[0033] The embodiment of the present application discloses a countably liftable pig discharging platform device. Refer to Figure 1, A count - able lifting pig - discharging platform device includes a pig - discharging platform 1 and a bridge 2. The bridge 2 includes a bottom plate 21 and baffles 22 fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom plate 21. The upper surface of the bottom plate 21 is provided with anti - slip lines 211. One end of the bottom plate 21 in the length direction is rotatably connected to the pig - discharging platform 1 through a rotating shaft.

[0041] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in order to increase the flexibility of height adjustment of the support rod 9, adjusting rods 91 are threadedly connected to both ends of the support rod 9, so that the adjusting rods 91 are detachably installed on the support rod 9, and the support rod 9 and the adjusting rods 91 are perpendicular to each other. One end of the adjusting rod 91 is installed with a positioning block 92, and a positioning groove 12 for inserting the positioning block 92 is opened on the inner wall of the groove 101. The adjusting rod 91 is stably inserted on the support block 10 through the cooperation of the positioning block 92 and the positioning groove 12. Rotating the adjusting rod 91 can also control the distance between the support rod 9 and the support block 10, so as to improve the flexibility of position adjustment of the support rod 9.
[0042] In order to facilitate the installation of the support rod 9 by people, pedal boards 13 extend from the support blocks 10 of the two vertical rods 31. The multiple pedal boards 13 facilitate people to climb the gantry 3 to install the support rod 9.
[0043] The gantry 3 of this embodiment is made of galvanized steel pipes, and the bridge 2 is made of galvanized steel plates, and the overall structure has strong firmness.
[0044] The implementation principle of an adjustable counting pig discharging platform device according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0045] Through the cooperation of the camera 6 and the infrared sensor 5, the automatic counting of the number of pigs passing through the pig discharging platform 1 is realized; at the same time, through the design of the detachably installed support rod 9 and the adjusting rod 91, the height of the bridge 2 is adjustable, adapting to different height transportation requirements; the application of the anti-slip pattern 211 enhances the safety of pig transportation.
