In addition, the terms "first", "second" and the like are only used for differentiation, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] Embodiment 1: as Figs. 1-3The utility model discloses a kind of weighing devices for egg chicken growth monitoring, including object platform 1, weighing component 2 and feeding barrel 3, the object platform 1 is arranged on the weighing component 2, the weighing component 2 is used to measure the weight of object on the object platform 1;The feeding barrel 3 is set corresponding to the center point position of the object platform 1, the feeding barrel 3 is used to contain chicken feed, the feeding barrel 3 is also provided with multiple eating through-holes 4, the eating through-hole 4 is equidistantly arranged around the sidewall of the feeding barrel 3, the eating through-hole 4 is used to form the passage that sample chicken head extends into the feeding barrel 3 and eats.

[0034] A kind of weighing device for egg chicken growth monitoring is adopted in the utility model, the feeding barrel 3 is set on the object platform 1, when the weight of the chicken is monitored, chicken feed contained in the feeding barrel 3 can be used to guide chicken to the object platform 1, and make chicken stay on the object platform 1;Further, the eating through-hole 4 is set on the feeding barrel 3, the number of chicken that can stay on the object platform 1 is limited to be same with the number of the eating through-hole 4, so that chicken can complete weighing in the process of eating, thereby effectively avoid the disturbance to chicken in weighing operation.

[0035] Specifically, the weight of the chicken is monitored by using sampling statistics in the embodiment. Specifically, a certain number of weighing devices of the utility model are arranged in the feeding area of the chicken;After the overall weight of the sample chicken is obtained by using the weighing device of the utility model, the average weight of a single sample chicken is obtained by dividing the overall number of the sample chickens participating in weighing, so that the average weight of the sample chicken can reflect the average weight of the chicken group.

[0036] It should be noted that, in use, an installation pit needs to be arranged on the ground of the feeding site, the diameter of the installation pit matches the diameter of the object platform 1, the weighing component 2 is placed in the installation pit, and the plane of the object platform 1 is flush with the ground of the feeding site after the object platform 1 is installed on the weighing component 2.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above-mentioned scheme, further, the feeding barrel 3 is also provided with a plurality of partitions 5, and the partitions 5 are used to separate adjacent eating through-holes 4. By adopting this structure, on the one hand, it can prevent the chickens from fighting with each other when eating;On the other hand, it can also effectively prevent two chickens from eating together in one eating through-hole 4, thereby improving the practicability of the utility model in actual use.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above-mentioned scheme, further, the end of the partition 5 at least extends to the edge of the object platform 1.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, based on the above scheme, the central part of the carrying platform 1 is further configured as a hollow area 6, and a support member 7 is provided at the bottom of the feeding bucket 3. The support member 7 passes through the hollow area 6 and is used to create a gap between the bottom surface of the feeding bucket 3 and the surface of the carrying platform 1. This structural arrangement avoids the weight of the feeding bucket 3 and its internal feed being applied to the carrying platform 1, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the weight measurement of sample chickens in this novel method.

[0040] Example 2: Fig. 2 As shown, the weighing device for monitoring the growth of laying hens according to this utility model, based on the above scheme, further includes a drive motor 8 on the support component 7, which is used to drive the feeding bucket 3 to rotate.

The waste bin 11 is connected to the weighing component 2, and the opening of the waste bin 11 is spaced apart from the loading platform 1.

[0045] Specifically, in the embodiment, when the driving motor 8 drives the feeding barrel 3 to rotate, the partition plate 5 can push the impurities on the object carrying platform 1 to move to the direction of the material leakage opening 10, and when the impurities pass through the material leakage opening 10, the impurities fall into the garbage can 11 from the material leakage opening 10. With the structure, the impurities on the object carrying platform 1 can be collected, thereby further improving the practicability of the novel device in actual use.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above scheme, further, the length edge of the material leakage opening 10 is further provided with a blocking strip 12, the blocking strip 12 and the object carrying platform 1 form an acute angle cooperation, when the feeding barrel 3 rotates, the bristles 9 first pass through the material leakage opening 10 and then contact the blocking strip 12.

[0047] With the structure, when the bristles 9 contact the blocking strip 12, the feces attached to the bristles 9 can be scraped off by the blocking strip 12, thereby effectively prolonging the maintenance interval of the novel device in use, and further improving the practicability of the novel device in actual use.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above scheme, further, the contact part of the blocking strip 12 and the bristles 9 is provided in a sawtooth structure. With the structure, the roughness of the contact surface of the bristles 9 and the blocking strip 12 can be increased, so that the feces attached to the bristles 9 can be completely removed, thereby further improving the practicability of the novel device in actual use.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above scheme, further, the object carrying platform 1 is provided with a fixing seat 13, the blocking strip 12 is installed on the fixing seat 13, the blocking strip 12 and the fixing seat 13 are rotatably connected, the blocking strip 12 and the fixing seat 13 have a first cooperation mode and a second cooperation mode,

[0050] In the first cooperation mode, the blocking strip 12 is parallel to the object carrying platform 1.

[0051] When the bristles 9 contact the blocking strip 12, the bristles 9 push the blocking strip 12 to rotate, the blocking strip 12 and the object carrying platform 1 form an acute angle cooperation, and then form the second cooperation mode.

[0052] Specifically, the bristles 9 in the embodiment can make the blocking strip 12 and the fixed seat 13 switch between the first matching mode and the second matching mode constantly when the bristles 9 constantly sweep the blocking strip 12, and the excrement attached to the blocking strip 12 can fall off under the action of inertial impact force in the process, thereby effectively avoiding that the excrement is accumulated on the blocking strip 12 to cause the material leakage opening 10 to be blocked, and thus the practicability of the new type in actual use is further improved.

[0053] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
