Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock weighing, specifically to a weighing guide device for livestock farms. Background Technology

[0002] Weighing machines are typically small and weigh only one animal at a time. However, small weighing machines are inefficient, and herding livestock to the weighing station is time-consuming, especially for cattle which are difficult to control. Therefore, a guiding device is needed to guide the livestock naturally into the weighing device, achieving the purpose of weighing without affecting the normal operation of the livestock farm.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220153705U discloses a livestock weighing device with a guiding mechanism. Livestock feed is placed in the guiding trough of the feeding trough assembly. After the device is installed, a drive motor is started to rotate the threaded rod, causing the threaded sleeve to move linearly, thereby moving the movable rod left and right. The movable rod moves the feeding trough assembly outside the fence, closer to the livestock, guiding them to eat the feed. Because the guiding trough is similar in shape to the livestock's usual feeding trough and is not close to the ground, it conforms to the feeding habits of cattle and sheep, resulting in good guiding effect. The livestock follow the trough into the fence, where the weighing scale weighs the livestock, and the weighing result is displayed on the screen. After weighing, if the livestock needs to be driven away, the crossbar can be held to lift the guiding trough, so that the livestock can no longer see the feed and walk out of the fence. This device can quickly guide livestock, improving weighing efficiency, and allows buyers to observe whether the livestock has been force-fed, which is conducive to promoting honest and fair transactions. However, the guiding mechanism in this patent document is poor, and the guiding process takes a long time.

[0004] Therefore, a guiding device is installed at the livestock exit, so that as soon as the livestock walks out of the exit, it will be guided to the weighing device for weighing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a livestock farm weighing guidance device is provided. By installing a guidance mechanism between the livestock farm exit and the weighing mechanism, and by attaching the guardrail of the guidance mechanism to the livestock farm exit, the livestock will be guided to the weighing mechanism after leaving the exit, thus solving the problem of the lack of a guidance device in the prior art.

[0006] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides a weighing guidance device for livestock farms, including a guiding mechanism. The guiding mechanism includes a base plate, a fence, and guardrails. The base plate is placed on the ground. The fence is located on both sides of the base plate and encloses the space on both sides of the base plate. One end of the guardrail is rotatably connected to the fence, and the other end can be connected to the livestock exit of the farm. Preferably, a weighing mechanism is provided at the end of the guiding mechanism away from the livestock exit of the farm. The weighing mechanism includes a weighing plate and a baffle. The weighing plate abuts against the base plate. The baffles are located on both sides of the weighing plate and enclose the space on both sides of the base plate.

[0007] Preferably, the weighing mechanism has a separating mechanism on the baffle; the separating mechanism includes a first blocking bar and a second blocking bar; the first blocking bar is installed at both ends of one side baffle of the weighing plate and is rotatably connected to the baffle; the second blocking bar is installed at both ends of the other side baffle of the weighing plate and is rotatably connected to the baffle; the first blocking bar located at both ends of the baffle is rigidly connected by a first crossbar, and the second blocking bar located at both ends of the other baffle is rigidly connected by a second crossbar.

[0008] Preferably, the first and second crossbars are provided with a synchronization mechanism; the synchronization mechanism includes a synchronization moving block, a moving groove and a limiting groove; the limiting groove is provided on the inner two side walls of the baffle; the synchronization moving block is located in the limiting groove on the two side walls of the baffle and can move along the long side of the limiting groove; the moving groove is opened on the synchronization moving block; the first and second crossbars pass through the moving groove in the synchronization moving block.

[0009] Preferably, the first barrier bar is provided with a pull rod.

[0010] Preferably, the baffle is equipped with a display screen showing the weight of the livestock.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are:

[0012] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a guiding mechanism at the livestock exit, and using a flexible and connectable guardrail, which works in conjunction with the fence and base plate to form a closed channel, the livestock can naturally enter the weighing area without the need for manual forced driving, which greatly improves the guiding efficiency, saves a lot of manpower and time costs, reduces livestock stress response, ensures the good condition of the livestock during the weighing process, and is beneficial to subsequent breeding management and livestock health.

[0013] 2. In this invention, the weighing plate and base plate are stably connected to ensure accurate measurement, and the baffle effectively prevents livestock from escaping. The separation mechanism utilizes the rigid connection of the first and second blocking bars and the crossbar to achieve orderly separation of livestock, weighing only one animal at a time and avoiding interference from weighing multiple animals simultaneously. The synchronization mechanism ensures synchronized movement of the crossbar, further ensuring the accuracy of the separation mechanism's operation, thus providing a reliable guarantee for obtaining accurate livestock weight data.

[0014] 3. The pull rod on the first barrier bar in this utility model allows workers to easily control the movement of the barrier bar, enabling the rapid opening and closing of the weighing area. The display screen installed on the baffle directly displays the livestock's weight, allowing workers to obtain data instantly without additional recording and calculation, thus improving work efficiency. The overall device has a reasonable structural design, with all components working in tandem. From guiding the livestock to completing the weighing and data display, it forms an efficient and convenient operating process, facilitating its widespread application in livestock farms.

[0022] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown: A livestock farm weighing guide device includes a guide mechanism 1; the guide mechanism 1 includes a base plate 11, a fence 12 and a guardrail 13; the base plate 11 is placed on the ground; the fence 12 is located on both sides of the base plate 11 and encloses the space on both sides of the base plate 11; one end of the guardrail 13 is rotatably connected to the fence 12, and the other end can be connected to the livestock exit position of the farm.

[0024] In existing technologies, livestock weighing often requires manual herding of animals into the weighing device, which is inefficient and consumes significant manpower and time. To address this issue, this application installs a guiding mechanism 1 at the livestock exit of the livestock farm to guide the animals into the weighing device. A base plate 11 is placed on the ground for the animals to step on, and a fence 12 is installed on the base plate 11 to prevent the animals from escaping from the side. One end of the guardrail 13 is rotatably connected to the fence 12. When no animal guidance is needed, the other end of the guardrail 13 can be tied to the fence 12 with a rope; when guidance is required, the other end of the guardrail 13 is tied to the livestock exit of the livestock farm, creating a closed space between the guiding mechanism 1 and the livestock exit, forcing the animals to pass through the guiding mechanism 1 after exiting the farm.

[0025] Reference Figures 2-4 As shown: A weighing mechanism 2 is provided at the end of the guiding mechanism 1 away from the livestock outlet of the farm; the weighing mechanism 2 includes a weighing plate 21 and a baffle 22; the weighing plate 21 abuts against the bottom plate 11; the baffle 22 is provided on both sides of the weighing plate 21 and closes the space on both sides of the bottom plate 11.

[0026] The weighing plate 21 abuts against the base plate 11, so after the livestock walks across the base plate 11 of the guide mechanism 1, they will directly step onto the weighing plate 21 for weighing. The baffle 22 can prevent the livestock from escaping from the weighing plate 21.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown: The weighing mechanism 2 has a separating mechanism 3 on the baffle 22; the separating mechanism 3 includes a first blocking bar 31 and a second blocking bar 32; the first blocking bar 31 is installed at both ends of the baffle 22 on one side of the weighing plate 21 and is rotatably connected to the baffle 22; the second blocking bar 32 is installed at both ends of the baffle 22 on the other side of the weighing plate 21 and is rotatably connected to the baffle 22; the first blocking bar 31 located at both ends of the baffle 22 is rigidly connected by a first crossbar 311, and the second blocking bar 32 located at both ends of the other baffle 22 is rigidly connected by a second crossbar 321.

[0028] The separating mechanism 3 has a separating function, ensuring that the weighing mechanism 2 can only weigh one animal at a time, avoiding the situation where multiple animals are in the weighing area simultaneously, which would affect the weighing accuracy. Since the first crossbar 311 and the first blocking bars 31 installed at both ends of the baffle 22 on one side of the weighing plate 21 form a rigid connection structure, when a control action is applied to one end of the first blocking bar 31, the force can be transmitted to the other end. This allows for synchronous movement of both first blocking bars 31 by controlling only one of them. Similarly, synchronous movement of both second blocking bars 32 is achieved by controlling only one of them. When the weighing is complete, controlling the first blocking bars 31 and the second blocking bars 32 allows them to open simultaneously under the structural linkage. At this point, livestock that have been weighed can walk out of weighing mechanism 2 under the guidance of staff, while livestock that have not been weighed can enter weighing mechanism 2 in an orderly manner to prepare for the next round of weighing.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown: The first crossbar 311 and the second crossbar 321 are provided with a synchronization mechanism 4; the synchronization mechanism 4 includes a synchronization moving block 41, a moving groove 42 and a limiting groove 43; the limiting groove 43 is provided on the inner two side walls of the baffle 22; the synchronization moving block 41 is located in the limiting groove 43 on the two side walls of the baffle 22 and can move along the long side of the limiting groove 43; the moving groove 42 is opened on the synchronization moving block 41; the first crossbar 311 and the second crossbar 321 pass through the moving groove 42 in the synchronization moving block 41.

[0030] Since the first crossbar 311 and the second crossbar 321 are inserted into the moving groove 42, when the first crossbar 311 and the second crossbar 321 are driven by external force to start moving, they will drive the synchronous moving block 41 to move along the long side of the limiting groove 43. When the synchronous moving block 41 moves, it will drive the second crossbar 321 and the first crossbar 311 to move synchronously.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 As shown: The first barrier bar 31 is equipped with a pull rod 5.

[0032] Pulling lever 5 can drive the first blocking bar 31 to move.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 As shown: The baffle 22 is equipped with a display screen 6 that displays the weight of livestock.

[0034] The weight of the livestock on the weighing plate 21 can be intuitively viewed through the display screen 6.

[0035] A base plate 11 is placed on the ground, and fences 12 are installed on both sides of the base plate 11 to enclose the space on both sides. One end of a guardrail 13 is rotatably connected to the fence 12. Normally, the other end of the guardrail 13 is tied to the fence 12 with a rope. When it is necessary to guide livestock to be weighed, the other end of the guardrail 13 is tied to the livestock exit, forming a closed space so that the livestock can only pass through the guide mechanism 1 after exiting the exit. After the livestock step onto the base plate 11, they walk to the weighing plate 21 that abuts against the base plate 11 for weighing. A baffle 22 prevents the livestock from escaping from the weighing plate 21. The separating mechanism 3 on the baffle 22 of the weighing mechanism 2 has a first blocking bar 31 and a second blocking bar 32 respectively installed at both ends of the baffle 22 on both sides of the weighing plate 21 and rotatably connected to the baffle 22. The first crossbar 311 is rigidly connected to the first blocking bar 31 at both ends of one side of the baffle 22, and the second crossbar 321 is rigidly connected to the second blocking bar 32 on the other side, so that only one animal is weighed at a time. Controlling one end of the blocking bar can cause the other end of the blocking bar to move synchronously through the rigid transmission of the crossbar. After the weighing is completed, the blocking bar is controlled to open so that the weighed animal can walk out and the unweighed animal can enter. The synchronization mechanism 4 on the first crossbar 311 and the second crossbar 321 has a limiting groove 43 on both sides of the inner side wall of the baffle 22. The synchronous moving block 41 can move along the long side in the limiting groove 43. The moving groove 42 is opened on the synchronous moving block 41. The crossbar passes through the moving groove 42. When one crossbar moves, it drives the synchronous moving block 41 to move, so that the other crossbar moves synchronously. The lever 5 on the first barrier bar 31 is used to pull and drive the first barrier bar 31 to move. The display screen 6 installed on the baffle 22 can directly display the weight of the livestock on the weighing plate 21.

[0036] The above embodiments only illustrate one or more implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
