Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring equipment technology, specifically a self-adaptive multifunctional chest and abdominal circumference measuring mechanism for dairy cows. Background Technology

[0002] Dairy cows are a breed of cattle specifically raised for milk production. They are widely raised worldwide, primarily for producing milk and dairy products. During the rearing process, the chest and abdominal circumference of dairy cows are measured. These measurements reflect the cow's health status, including muscle development and volume, and are commonly used to assess health, feed conversion ratio, and reproductive capacity. Furthermore, chest and abdominal circumference measurements are helpful for dairy cow management, especially during the peripartum period. Proper feeding techniques can provide dairy cows with balanced nutrition, maintain good body condition, increase milk production, improve feed efficiency, reduce feeding costs, and increase economic benefits. Currently, the standard method for measuring chest and abdominal circumference is using a soft measuring tape. However, because dairy cows have large chest circumferences, it is difficult for one person to complete the measurement independently; assistance from others is required. This method is inconvenient, slow, and affects the workflow. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0039] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0040] Please see Figure 1-8 In this embodiment of the present invention, a cow adaptive multifunctional chest and abdominal circumference measuring mechanism includes: a base plate 100, a measuring mechanism 200, and a restraining mechanism 300. Support frames 110 are fixedly connected to both ends of the top of the base plate 100, and a guide plate 120 is fixedly connected to one end of the base plate 100. The guide plate 120 is fixedly connected to the corresponding support frame 110. Limiting frames 130 are fixedly connected to the top of the two support frames 110. The measuring mechanism 200 is disposed between the two limiting frames 130, and the restraining mechanism 300 is disposed at one end of the top of the base plate 100.

[0041] Specifically, the guide plate 120 facilitates the movement of the cow into the two limiting frames 130 for standing, and the restraint mechanism 300 facilitates the restraint of the cow's head, thereby limiting the cow's position. The measuring mechanism 200 facilitates the rapid measurement of the cow's chest and abdominal circumference, and can be applied to cows of different body sizes, thus improving the practicality of this adaptive multifunctional chest and abdominal circumference measuring mechanism for cows.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figure 4-7 As shown, in this embodiment, the measuring mechanism 200 includes: a movable shell 210, a rotating rod 220, a controller 230, two fixed blocks 240, and a flexible measuring tape 270. The inner wall of the movable shell 210 has a communicating hole 211. An adjustment component is provided on the top of one side of the movable shell 210. The rotating rod 220 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the movable shell 210. The controller 230 is fixedly connected to the movable shell 210. The two fixed blocks 240 are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the top inner side of the movable shell 210. A camera 241 is fixedly connected to one side of each fixed block 240. The flexible measuring tape 270 is... Inside the movable housing 210, a tightening assembly is provided on the top of the flexible ruler 270, and multiple traction assemblies are provided on the outside of the flexible ruler 270. The adjustment assembly includes a fixing plate 250, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the corresponding limiting frame 130. A motor 251 is fixedly connected to the output end of the fixing plate 250, and a screw 252 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 251. A push rod 253 is screwed onto the outside of the screw 252. One end of the push rod 253 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable housing 210, and the bottom of the push rod 253 contacts the top of the corresponding limiting frame 130. The fastening assembly includes: an electric push rod 260 and a motor 290. The top of the electric push rod 260 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the movable housing 210. The output end of the electric push rod 260 is fixedly connected to a fixed base 261, and the bottom of the fixed base 261 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 262 and a guide seat 263. The bottom of the connecting block 262 is fixedly connected to one end of a corresponding flexible ruler 270. The bottom of the guide seat 263 has a guide hole 2631, and the interior of the guide hole 2631 is slidably connected to the flexible ruler 270. The motor 290 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed base 261, and the output end of the motor 290 passes through... A second take-up reel 291 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed base 261 and is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed base 261. The inner side wall of the second take-up reel 291 is fixedly connected to the other end of the flexible measuring tape 270. The traction assembly includes a second motor 280, which is fixedly connected to an inner side wall of the movable housing 210. The output end of the second motor 280 is fixedly connected to a first take-up reel 281, and a traction rope 282 is wound and fixedly attached to the inner side wall of the first take-up reel 281. One end of the traction rope 282 is fixedly connected to a traction block 283, and the interior of the traction block 283 is slidably connected to the flexible measuring tape 270.

[0044] In this embodiment, by starting motor 251, the screw 252 is rotated, causing the push rod 253 and the movable housing 210 to move to the appropriate position. The rotating rod 220 allows the movable housing 210 to move smoothly. When the measuring tape 270 corresponds to the cow's chest or abdomen, the electric push rod 260 is activated, moving the fixed base 261, connecting block 262, and guide seat 263. This ensures that the connecting block 262 and guide seat 263 contact the top of the cow. Then, motor 290 is started to rotate forward, driving the winding reel 291 to rotate, facilitating the winding of the measuring tape 270. Simultaneously, multiple motors 280 are started to rotate forward, causing multiple winding reels 281 to rotate, facilitating the release of multiple traction ropes 282. The wound-up measuring tape 270 then pulls multiple traction blocks 283 to move. When the measuring tape 270 is rolled up to be completely in contact with the cow's chest or abdomen, the camera 241 takes a picture of the measurement on the rolled-up measuring tape 270, and the controller 230 allows the view of the content captured by the camera 241, thus facilitating the determination of the cow's chest or abdominal circumference. By adjusting the position of the movable shell 210, the measuring mechanism 200 can be adapted to cows of different sizes. After the measurement is completed, the motor 290 is reversed to release the measuring tape 270, and the motor 280 is flipped to facilitate the winding of multiple traction ropes 282. This causes multiple traction blocks 283 to be in contact with multiple winding reels 281, and the movable traction blocks 283 pull the measuring tape 270 to move, allowing the measuring tape 270 to return to its original position for future use. This improves the practicality of the adaptive multifunctional chest and abdominal circumference measuring mechanism for cows.

[0045] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the top and bottom of one side of the limiting frame 130 are provided with a first connecting groove 131, and one side of the limiting frame 130 is provided with a plurality of second connecting grooves 132. Two rectangular frames 140 are provided between the two limiting frames 130. The top and bottom of one side of the rectangular frame 140 are fixedly connected with connecting plates 141, and the connecting plates 141 are slidably connected to the corresponding first connecting groove 131. One side of the rectangular frame 140 is fixedly connected with a plurality of connecting rods 142, and the connecting rods 142 are slidably connected to the corresponding second connecting grooves 132.

[0046] In practice, the movable shell 210 will drive the two rectangular frames 140 to move, so that the two rectangular frames 140, the four connecting plates 141 and the multiple connecting rods 142 move to the appropriate position. The two rectangular frames 140 and the two connecting plates 141 at the bottom can prevent the cow from stepping into empty space when moving and support the cow.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] Based on Example 1, in order to restrain the cow's head, thereby limiting the cow's position.

[0049] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the restraint mechanism 300 includes: a C-shaped plate 310, a bidirectional lead screw 320, a motor 330, two moving blocks 340, and two restraint plates 350. The C-shaped plate 310 is fixedly connected to the top of the corresponding limiting frame 130. The bidirectional lead screw 320 is rotatably connected to the inside of the C-shaped plate 310. The motor 330 is fixedly connected to one end of the C-shaped plate 310. The output end of the motor 330 passes through the side wall of the C-shaped plate 310 and is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 320. The two moving blocks 340 are respectively screwed to both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 320. The moving blocks 340 are in contact with the top of the corresponding limiting frame 130. The two restraint plates 350 are respectively in contact with the bottom of one end of the two moving blocks 340. One side of the restraint plate 350 is in contact with the corresponding limiting frame 130.

[0050] In practice, when the cow's head moves between the two restraint plates 350, the motor 330 is started, which drives the bidirectional lead screw 320 to rotate. This causes the two moving blocks 340 and the two restraint plates 350 to move relative to each other, so that both restraint plates 350 fit against the cow's neck, thereby restraining the cow's head and limiting the cow's position. The restraint mechanism 300 can be used for cows of different sizes, making it more convenient to use.

[0051] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
