Therefore, the market prospect of selling chicken chicks is good.
[0003] In the breeding industry, the use and management of roosters and hens are significantly different. For example, if it is to breed meat chickens, roosters and hens are different in terms of feed consumption and meat growth rate, and need to be sold and raised separately in order to better manage them. For egg chicken breeding, if the purpose is to obtain eggs, only hens need to be raised, and roosters will be directly culled.
[0004] The existing method for distinguishing between male and female chicken chicks is to observe the buttocks of the chicken chicks: the buttocks of the chicken chicks can be observed carefully by turning on a flashlight to try to distinguish the gender. Gently brush off the small fluff on the buttocks of the chicken chicks, and observe whether the anal area has a small meat point. If there is a small meat point, it usually indicates that it is a male chicken; while a smooth and meatless point may be a female chicken. However, the current method is mainly through manual observation and recording the number of male and female chicken chicks on a registration book, which is inefficient and prone to errors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The utility model will be further described below in combination with examples, but does not constitute any limitation to the utility model, and the limited times of modification of anyone in the utility model claim range is still in the utility model claim range.
[0023] Reference Figures 1-3 The utility model discloses a chickling sorting platform, it includes table body 1, and the chickling fixing device 2 and counting device 8 are installed on table body 1, is equipped with first placing mouth 4 and second placing mouth 9 on table body 1, first placing mouth 4 installs first proximity switch 10 in, and second proximity switch 11 is installed in second placing mouth 9, and first proximity switch 10 and second proximity switch 11 all are connected with counting device 8 electrically.
[0024] The controller is installed in counting device 8, and display screen 81, first counting button 82, first counting reset button 83, second counting button 84 and second counting reset button 85 are installed on counting device 8. First proximity switch 10, second proximity switch 11, display screen 81, first counting button 82, first counting reset button 83, second counting button 84 and second counting reset button 85 all are connected with controller electrically.
[0025] The number of cockerels and the number of hens will be displayed on the display screen 9. The first placing opening 4 is for cockerels and the second placing opening 9 is for hens. When a cockerel is placed into the first placing opening 4 and the cockerel approaches the first proximity switch 10 and triggers the first proximity switch 10, the first proximity switch 10 inputs a first counting signal to the controller. After the controller receives the first counting signal, the controller inputs a first counting value signal to the display screen 81, so that the number of cockerels on the display screen 81 is increased by one. When a hen is placed into the second placing opening 9 and the hen approaches the second proximity switch 11 and triggers the second proximity switch 11, the second proximity switch 11 inputs a second counting signal to the controller. After the controller receives the second counting signal, the controller inputs a second counting value signal to the display screen 81, so that the number of hens on the display screen 81 is increased by one.
[0026] The number of cockerels on the display screen 81 can be cleared by pressing the first counting reset button 83. The number of hens on the display screen 81 can be cleared by pressing the second counting reset button 85.
[0027] When the first proximity switch 10 or the second proximity switch 11 fails, the number of cockerels on the display screen 81 can be increased by one by pressing the first counting button 82. The number of hens on the display screen 81 can be increased by one by pressing the second counting button 84.
[0028] The chick fixing device 2 comprises a shell 20, a positioning column 21 fixedly installed on the shell 20, a waist-shaped groove 22 formed in the shell 20, a connecting rod 23 fixedly installed in the middle of the waist-shaped groove 22, a first disc 24 and a second disc 25 slidably installed on the connecting rod 23, a first telescopic rod 26 and a second telescopic rod 27 rotatably installed on the positioning column 21, and rubber surfaces provided on the outer surfaces of the first telescopic rod 26 and the second telescopic rod 27 to prevent the beaks of chicks from being injured. One end of the first telescopic rod 26 is connected with the first disc 24, one end of the second telescopic rod 27 is connected with the second disc 25, and a spring 28 is connected between the first telescopic rod 26 and the second telescopic rod 27.
[0029] When no chick is placed into the chick fixing device 2, the spring 28 is in a natural state and has no force acting on the first telescopic rod 26 and the second telescopic rod 27.
[0030] When it is necessary to place a chick into the chick fixing device 2 for fixation, the beak of the chick is inserted into a positioning groove formed by the positioning column 21, the first telescopic rod 26, the second telescopic rod 27, the first disc 24 and the second disc 25. The first telescopic rod 26 and the second telescopic rod 27 are both rotated and elongated. The first telescopic rod 26 drives the first disc 24 to move to the left side of the shell 20, and the second telescopic rod 27 drives the second disc 25 to move to the right side of the shell 20. Figure 2 Figure 2 The right side of the first disc 24 is moved, the spring 28 is in the stretched state, and the worker can observe the fixed chick through the light of the flashlight to sort.
[0031] When the chick is observed, the mouth of the chick is pulled out of the positioning groove, the spring 28 returns to the original natural state, the first telescopic rod 26 and the second telescopic rod 27 are rotated and contracted under the action of the spring 28, the first disc 24 is moved to the right under the action of the first telescopic rod 26, the second disc 25 is moved to the left under the action of the second telescopic rod 27, and the positioning groove returns to the original state. Figure 2 Figure 2
[0032] The upper body 1 is provided with a placing groove 3 for placing the chick. The chick is prevented from running around on the upper body 1, and the worker can easily take the chick.
[0033] The bottom of the first placing opening 4 and the second placing opening 9 is provided with a mesh 5, and the mesh 5 is provided with a mesh box at the opening. The worker puts the sorted chick into the mesh box from the placing opening 4, and the mesh 5 provides a buffer for the chick to prevent the chick from falling directly from a high place and being injured or even dead.
[0034] The four bottom corners of the upper body 1 are provided with support rods 6. The support rods 6 are used to support the upper body 1.
[0035] The upper body 1 is provided with a baffle 7 around the upper body 1. The baffle 7 prevents the chick from escaping from the upper body 1.
[0036] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0037] When the number of male and female chicks needs to be counted, the male chick is put into the first placing opening 4, the male chick approaches the first proximity switch 10 and triggers the first proximity switch 10, the first proximity switch 10 inputs a first counting signal to the controller, the controller receives the first counting signal and inputs a first counting value signal to the display screen 81, so that the number of male chicks on the display screen 81 is increased by one. The number of male chicks on the display screen 81 can be cleared by pressing the first counting reset button 83.
[0038] The female chick is put into the second placing opening 9, the female chick approaches the second proximity switch 11 and triggers the second proximity switch 11, the second proximity switch 11 inputs a second counting signal to the controller, the controller receives the second counting signal and inputs a second counting value signal to the display screen 81, so that the number of female chicks on the display screen 81 is increased by one. The number of female chicks on the display screen 81 can be cleared by pressing the second counting reset button 85.
[0039] The above merely is preferred implementation manner of the present application, it should be pointed out that for the person skilled in the art without departing from the premise of the structure of the present application, still can make several deformation and improvement, these will not influence the effect and the practicality of the patent of the present application implementation.
