DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, a brief introduction will be given below to the drawings required for use in the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present invention provides a milk quantitative delivery control device for calf feeding, comprising a control box 10, a milk quantitative controller 20 and a milk delivery mechanism 30 arranged in the control box 10, and a calf information collector 40 arranged outside the control box 10. The control box 10 is used to be installed in a calf breeding area or on a milk feeding trolley. The milk delivery mechanism 30 and the calf information collector 40 are electrically connected to the milk quantitative controller 20 respectively. When feeding milk, the ear tag or electronic tag of the corresponding calf is first read by the calf information collector 40 to obtain the basic information of the calf. The calf information collector 40 transmits the obtained basic information of the calf to the milk quantitative controller 20. After receiving the basic information of the calf transmitted by the calf information collector 40, the milk quantitative controller 20 controls the milk delivery mechanism 30 to output a dose of milk that matches the basic information of the calf according to the received basic information of the calf.

[0025] Specifically, the milk quantitative controller 20 is an MCU controller, and a milk output reference value corresponding to the calf's age is preset in the milk quantitative controller 20. For example, the milk output dosage reference value set for a 1-month-old calf is 2 liters, and the milk output dosage reference value set for a 2-month-old calf is 4.5 liters... The calf information collector 40 is an RFID identifier or ear tag reader / writer, which is movably arranged outside the control box 10 and is electrically or communicatively connected to the milk quantitative controller 20. When feeding milk to the calf, the calf information collector 40 can be manually held to read the ear tag or electronic tag of the calf to be fed to obtain the basic information of the calf, which includes the calf's number, date of birth information, weight information, etc. The calf information collector 40 transmits the basic information of the calf obtained to the milk quantitative controller 20. When the milk quantitative controller 20 receives the basic information of the calf transmitted by the calf information collector 40 and calculates the age of the calf in days or months based on the basic information of the calf, the milk quantitative controller 20 sends an instruction to the milk delivery mechanism 30 for the milk output amount that matches the age of the calf in days or months. For example, when the calf's age in months obtained by the milk quantitative controller 20 is 1 month old, an instruction to output a milk dose of 2 liters is sent to the milk delivery mechanism 30. After receiving the instruction issued by the milk quantitative controller 20, the milk delivery mechanism 30 outputs 2 liters of milk that matches the instruction to the milk feeder or feeding bucket of the calf.

[0026] The milk delivery mechanism 30 includes a milk delivery pump 301 and a milk feeding gun 302. The milk delivery pump 301 is arranged in the control box 10 and is electrically connected to the milk quantitative controller 20. The control box 10 is provided with a box door 11, which can be opened and closed. The milk quantitative controller 20 is installed on the box door 11 or the outer side wall of the control box 10. Opening the box door 11 facilitates maintenance of the milk quantitative controller 20 and the milk delivery pump 301. The liquid inlet end of the milk delivery pump 301 is connected to a milk delivery pipe 305, which is connected to an external milk tank or a milk feeding trolley through the milk delivery pipe 305. The milk feeding gun 302 is movably mounted on Outside the control box 10, the milk feeding gun 302 is connected to the liquid outlet of the milk delivery pump 301 through a connecting pipe 306. A flow meter 303 is provided at the liquid outlet of the milk delivery pump 301. The flow meter 303 is electrically connected to the milk quantitative controller 20. The milk quantitative controller 20 controls the milk delivery pump 301 to deliver milk toward the milk feeding gun 302 according to the received basic information of the calf. The flow meter 303 monitors the flow rate of the milk and feeds back the flow rate information to the milk quantitative controller 20. The milk quantitative controller 20 controls the milk delivery pump 301 to output a dose of milk that matches the basic information of the calf according to the flow rate information fed back by the flow meter 303. The liquid outlet of the milk feed delivery pump 301 is further provided with a check valve 304, which is arranged at the rear end of the flow meter 303, that is, toward the milk feed feeding gun 302. When the milk feed delivery pump 301 stops delivering milk to the milk feed feeding gun 302, the check valve 304 automatically closes to prevent the milk output by the milk feed delivery pump 301 toward the milk feed feeding gun 302 from flowing back, thereby playing an isolation role and preventing external air from contaminating the milk that has not been output.

[0027] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6After long-term use, the milk delivery pump 301 is prone to breeding bacteria or microorganisms. In order to avoid contamination of the milk, the interior of the milk delivery pump 301 needs to be cleaned and disinfected regularly. In order to facilitate the cleaning and disinfection of the interior of the milk delivery pump 301, the milk delivery pump 301 adopts a structural design that can be easily disassembled. Specifically, the milk delivery pump 301 includes a driving motor 3011, an impeller 3012, a drainage cover 3013 and a clamp 3014. The impeller 3012 is mounted on the shaft end of the driving motor 3011, and the drainage cover 3013 is detachably buckled at the end of the driving motor 3011, and the impeller 3012 is covered therein. The ports that contact each other are respectively provided with matching annular ridges 3016, and a matching sealing ring 301 is clamped between the annular ridge 3016 of the drive motor 3011 and the drainage cover 3013. The detachable annular clamp of the clamp 3014 is arranged on the annular ridge 3016 of the drive motor 3011 and the drainage cover 3013 to fix the drainage cover 3013 to the end of the drive motor 3011. The above-mentioned liquid inlet and liquid outlet are provided on the drainage cover 3013. The control end of the drive motor 3011 is electrically connected to the emulsion quantitative controller 20, and the emulsion quantitative controller 20 controls the drive motor 3011 to drive the impeller 3012 to rotate to convey the emulsion. During cleaning and disinfection, after the clamp 3014 is disassembled, the drainage cover 3013 can be separated from the drive motor 3011 to expose the impeller 3012, so that the impeller 3012 and the drainage cover 3013 can be manually cleaned and disinfected.

[0028] Please continue to see Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, a fixing frame 12 for fixing the milk feeding gun 302 is provided on the outer wall of the control box 10, so as to facilitate manual fixing of the milk feeding gun 302, and the calf information collector 40 can be set on the milk feeding gun 302. When manually extracting the milk feeding gun 302 to feed milk, the calf information collector 40 can be carried by the milk feeding gun 302 to read the electronic tag behind the calf's ear tag, making the operation more convenient.

[0029] The milk conveying mechanism 30, the calf information collector 40 and the milk quantitative controller 20 can be powered by the power supply on the milk feeding trolley or an external power supply.

[0030] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4In a preferred embodiment, a carrier frame 13 is provided in the control box 10, and a power battery 50 is provided on the carrier frame 13. A protective frame 14 is transversely provided above the outer edge of the carrier frame 13. The protective frame 14 is transversely fixed to the opposite inner wall of the control box 10 by fixing bolts 15, and is used to enclose and fix the power battery 50 to prevent the power battery 50 from moving. The power battery 50 is a storage battery, which is used to provide power for the milk quantitative controller 20, the calf information collector 40 and the milk conveying mechanism 30. When the external power supply or the power supply of the milk feeding trolley fails, the power battery 50 can provide power guarantee for the milk quantitative conveying control device for calf feeding.
