When performing pregnancy tests, administering injections, or weighing the pigs, breeders need to keep them in a stable position to facilitate these procedures. This process requires the breeders to control the pigs' movements, and the multiple inspections and procedures consume a significant amount of time and effort. Therefore, a container with both quarantine and weighing functions is urgently needed to limit the pigs' movements and save breeders time and effort. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the above problems in the prior art, the utility model provides a livestock cage scale.
[0004] The utility model provides a livestock cage scale adopting the following technical solutions:
[0005] A livestock cage scale includes an external cage frame, an internal cage frame suspended in the external cage frame via a weighing sensor, a weighing display provided on the external cage frame, and a lifting device for lifting livestock installed on the internal cage frame.

[0033] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 5 The utility model is described in further detail.
[0034] The present utility model discloses a livestock cage scale. Figure 1 The livestock cage scale includes an external cage frame 1, an internal cage frame 2, a weighing sensor 3 and a lifting device 4.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 The external cage frame 1 includes an outer frame body 10, and a pair of handrails 11 are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the outer frame body 10 to facilitate two breeders to lift and move the livestock cage scale. Two wheels 12 are rotatably installed on one side of the bottom of the outer frame body 10, and a U-shaped support leg 13 is installed on the other side of the bottom of the outer frame body 10. Breeders can push the livestock cage scale to move through the wheels 12 and the handrails 11, and the support leg 13 can assist the wheels 12 to vertically support the entire cage scale.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A tray 14 is installed on one side of the top of the outer frame 10. The equipment for performing pregnancy examination on the breeding pigs can be placed in the tray 14. A crossbeam 15 is installed on the front and back sides of the top of the outer frame 10 respectively. The internal cage 2 is suspended inside the external cage 1. Four weighing sensors 3 are provided and are respectively installed on the bottom surfaces of the two crossbeams 15. The weighing sensor 3 is an S-type sensor. The bottom end of the weighing sensor 3 is connected to the internal cage 2. A weighing display 30 is installed on the other side of the top of the outer frame 10.
[0037] Reference Figure 3 The internal cage frame 2 includes an inner frame body 20, the top of the inner frame body 20 is connected to the weighing sensor 3, and a bottom plate 21 is installed at the bottom of the inner frame body 20. The front and rear ends of the bottom plate 21 are folded downward to form a slope. A plurality of anti-slip strips 22 are evenly fixed to the top surface of the bottom plate 21 along the length direction. The length direction of the anti-slip strips 22 is perpendicular to the length direction of the bottom plate 21. A cage door 23 is provided on the front and rear sides of the inner frame body 20 respectively. One side of the cage door 23 is hinged to the inner frame body 20, and two baffles 230 are fixed to the other side of the cage door 23. A lock 24 for fixing the baffle 230 is installed on the inner frame body 20.
[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The lock 24 includes two pairs of fixing plates 240 fixed to the inner frame 20. The two pairs of fixing plates 240 are arranged up and down. A triangular lock tongue 241 is rotatably connected to each pair of fixing plates 240. A connecting rod 1 242 is rotatably connected between the two lock tongues 241. A handle 243 is rotatably connected to the inner frame 20. The handle 243 is located above the two pairs of fixing plates 240. A connecting rod 244 is rotatably connected between the top of the connecting rod 1 242 and the middle of the handle 243. A spring pin 245 is also installed between the inner frame 20 and the connecting rod 1 242.
[0039] When the cage door 23 needs to be closed, the breeder pushes the cage door 23 toward the inner frame 20, and the baffle 230 first contacts the lock tongue 241 and drives the lock tongue 241 to move upward, and then the lock tongue 241 drops under the action of gravity and blocks the baffle 230, thereby fixing the cage door 23, and the cage door 23 can be further fixed by the spring pin 245; when the cage door 23 needs to be opened, the spring pin 245 is pulled outward, and then the handle 243 is pulled upward, which can drive the connecting rod 244, the connecting rod 1 242 and the two lock tongues 241 to move upward in turn, thereby releasing the restriction on the baffle 230.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The lifting device 4 includes two linear guide rails 40 vertically installed on the side of the inner frame 20, and a slider 41 is provided on the sliding sleeve of each linear guide rail 40. A bracket 42 for lifting the breeding pig is installed on the two sliders 41. The bracket 42 is horizontally arranged. The bracket 42 includes a support rod 420, and the support rod 420 is fixed between the two sliders 41. Two connecting rods 421 are vertically fixed on the support rod 420, and the ends of the two connecting rods 421 are fixed with an annular rod 422. The annular rod 422 is used to support the body of the breeding pig, and the four legs of the breeding pig are suspended.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The inner frame 20 is also equipped with a driving mechanism 43 for driving the bracket 42 to move up and down. The driving mechanism 43 includes a reducer 430 installed on the upper side of the inner frame 20. The reducer 430 is driven by a handwheel 431. In other embodiments, a motor can also be used as a power source. A rotating shaft 432 is horizontally connected to the lower side of the inner frame 20. A driving sprocket 433 is installed at the output end of the reducer 430, and a driven sprocket 434 is installed on the rotating shaft 432. A chain 435 is installed between the driving sprocket 433 and the driven sprocket 434. A slide 436 is horizontally installed on the chain 435, and the two ends of the slide 436 are respectively connected to the two sliders 41.
[0042] When the breeding pig needs to be lifted, the breeder turns the handwheel 431, and the handwheel 431 drives the reducer 430, the driving sprocket 433, the driven sprocket 434 and the chain 435 in turn, driving the slide plate 436 to drive the two sliders 41 and the bracket 42 to move upward, thereby lifting the breeding pig until all four feet of the breeding pig are off the ground. The reverse operation can be performed to lower the breeding pig.
[0043] The implementation principle of the livestock cage scale of the embodiment of the present utility model is as follows: the breeding staff can transport the cage scale to the desired location through the wheels 12 and the handrails 11, or two people can carry the cage scale. The cage scale has the characteristics of miniaturization and easy mobility.
[0044] After the cage scale is placed, open the cage door 23 on one side and drive the breeding pig into the inner frame 20. Operate the driving mechanism 43 to drive the bracket 42 to rise, so that the breeding pig's four feet are off the ground. The breeding staff can observe the weight of the breeding pig through the weighing display 30 and carry out other quarantine items at the same time. Since the breeding pig's four feet are off the ground, it will maintain a relatively stable state at this time.
[0045] When all quarantine items are completed, the breeder operates the drive mechanism 43 to lower the breeding pig and opens the cage door 23 on the other side to release the breeding pig. The entire quarantine process only requires the breeder to operate the drive mechanism 43 and perform quarantine items, without the need for other operations to stabilize the breeding pig, which saves the breeder time and effort.
[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
