Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of measuring tools for animal husbandry, and in particular to a precise weighing and feeding spoon for rabbit farming. Background Technology
[0002] Compared to pigs, chickens, cattle, and sheep, the scale of rabbit farming is small, and the level of specialization and intelligence in rabbit farming is not high, which seriously hinders the expansion of the rabbit industry and the improvement of economic benefits.
[0003] Breeding does are the core of rabbit herd reproduction, and their reproductive performance directly affects the production efficiency and economic benefits of rabbit farms. Their health and nutritional status directly affect the survival rate, growth rate, and physical condition of offspring. Generally speaking, high-performing breeding does should not be too thin or too fat. Nutritional supplementation or feeding restrictions should be implemented according to different physiological stages and individual rabbits. While traditional feeding methods are low-cost, they often rely on manual experience, making precise control of feed quantity difficult. Quantitative feeding equipment can ensure precise feed delivery, but the equipment cost is high, and the feed amount needs to be adjusted regularly according to the rabbit's growth stage. Automated feeding equipment can save labor costs and automatically adjust the feed amount, but the equipment cost is too high, and it requires regular maintenance, placing high demands on the scale and technology of the farm. Therefore, for small and medium-sized farms, developing a precise, convenient, and scientifically sound feeding program for pregnant does is crucial.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a precision weighing feeding spoon for rabbit farming. It employs a cantilever beam pressure sensor to collect data and utilizes analog-to-digital conversion to achieve accurate data measurement, enabling precise feeding of pregnant does. This method offers advantages such as simple operation, accurate measurement, portability, time and labor saving, and uniform and suitable particle size, making it more convenient for precise weighing of rabbit feed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a precise weighing and feeding spoon for rabbit farming, so as to effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: A precision weighing and feeding spoon for rabbit farming includes a spoon head, an upper shell of the spoon handle, a lower shell of the spoon handle, and a control circuit board. The upper and lower shells of the spoon handle are connected to form a spoon handle by two screws C on both sides of the front end, two screws D on both sides of the middle, and two screws E on both sides of the rear end. A pressure sensor is located at the front end of the lower shell of the spoon handle, and a hollow connecting module is located on top of the pressure sensor. A small iron piece from the spoon head is inserted into the middle of the connecting module, and the connecting module is fixed to the top surface of the pressure sensor with bolts. The other end of the small iron piece from the spoon head is inserted into a socket on the spoon head. A control circuit board is located on top of the pressure sensor and is fixed to the upper shell of the spoon handle with screws A and B. The upper side of the control circuit board has a tare button, a setting button, a unit weight adjustment button, an increase button, and a decrease button. Corresponding button holes are provided on the upper shell of the spoon handle for operation. A power switch is located on the side of the upper shell of the spoon handle, and an electronic display screen is located on the top surface. A lithium battery and a charging module are located at the rear ends of the upper and lower shells of the spoon handle.
[0007] Preferably, the scoop head has a round ladle-shaped structure with a small round hole at the bottom, which can screen feed of appropriate particle size to ensure palatability. The scoop head is available in multiple sizes to weigh different weights of feed.
[0008] Preferably, a large gap is left at the interface between the lower shell of the spoon handle and the small iron piece of the spoon head, so that the small iron piece of the spoon head can deform downwards when weighing.
[0009] Preferably, the power supply in the power module is a lithium battery, and a charging port is provided.
[0010] Preferably, the weight value is preset when weighing. First, turn on the power switch of the device, click the setting button, click the unit weight increase adjustment button to change the single weight increase, click the increase button to set the weight increase, click the decrease button to set the weight decrease, and after the value is set, click the setting button to end the setting, put the feed into the scoop body, and the electronic measuring scoop starts to work.
[0011] If the feed weight differs from the set value by more than 10%, the control circuit board will sound an alarm and send the processed signal to the display screen for weight display and a warning for excessive difference. If the difference is within 10%, only the processed signal will be sent to the display screen for weight display to obtain the feed weight.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This design proposes a weighing method that uses a pressure sensor to acquire data and displays the data on a screen. It is small in size and portable, and combines the material picking process with the weighing process, simplifying the process of accurate material picking.
[0013] 2. This design allows for customizable feed weight settings, and an alarm will sound if the difference is too large, aiming to achieve precise feeding and effectively avoid feed waste, rabbits becoming too fat or too thin, and indigestion.
[0014] 3. This design is simple to operate, with fewer buttons compared to traditional electronic scales. It is specifically designed to solve the problem of weighing feed and requires less technical skill and work experience from the staff.
[0015] 4. The spoon head of this invention has small holes at the bottom to screen feed of appropriate particle size, avoiding indigestion in the female rabbits caused by feed particles that are too large or too small. The spoon head is designed to be replaceable for easy cleaning or replacement.
[0016] 5. This design includes multiple spoon heads with different volumes and apertures, suitable for pregnant does, fattening rabbits, and suckling rabbits. Attached Figure Description
