[0002] Sheep farming, as an important livestock activity, occupies a significant position in the agricultural sector. As a key link in livestock production, its management methods have a decisive impact on the growth quality, health status, and ultimate economic benefits of sheep. Particularly in the core aspect of sheep weight monitoring, existing weighing equipment has gradually revealed a series of obvious limitations and technical problems when handling sheep of different sizes and behavioral characteristics.

[0003] Specifically, existing weighing equipment faces prominent problems in practical operation scenarios, such as poor adaptability, inconvenient operation, and insufficient measurement accuracy. Utility model patent CN215573317U discloses a weighing device including a base and a weighing body, which solves the problem of items easily falling off when weighing large items by using a servo motor and a lead screw, and improves overall work efficiency. However, although these improvements significantly enhance the stability and practicality of the weighing equipment, they still have obvious shortcomings when weighing sheep in sheep farming.

[0004] Existing weighing equipment is not easily adjustable to accommodate sheep of different sizes, leading to uncontrolled movement and significantly impacting weighing accuracy. Given the wide variation in sheep size and weight, and their naturally active and difficult-to-control nature, obtaining accurate weight data is challenging without effective restraint. This hinders scientific management and optimized breeding strategies. Therefore, we urgently need an innovative weighing device to address these problems and overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a weighing device for sheep farming, which solves the problem that existing weighing devices are not easy to adjust the stabilizing mechanism of the weighing device according to sheep of different sizes, which causes the sheep to move around on the weighing device and seriously affects the accuracy of the weighing results.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A weighing device for sheep farming includes a base, a weighing body mounted on top of the base, a frame fixedly connected to the top of the weighing body, a top frame fixedly connected to the top of the frame, a drive motor fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the top frame by bolts, and a bidirectional screw rotatably connected to the inner side of the top frame. Both ends of the bidirectional screw are threadedly connected to nut seats, and limit plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two nut seats. An outer frame is provided between the two limit plates, and an inner plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the outer frame. One side of the outer frame is fixedly connected to one side of one of the two limit plates, while the inner plate is fixedly connected to one side of the other limit plate. A side plate is fixedly connected to one side of the frame, and a cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the side plate by bolts. The output shaft of the cylinder passes through the side plate and is fixedly connected to one side of the outer frame.

[0008] Preferably, a door is rotatably connected to the outer side of the frame via a hinge, and a sloping plate is fixedly connected to the side of the frame near the door.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of each of the two nut seats is fixedly connected to a slider, and the two sliders pass through the bottom of the top frame through a groove, and the bottom of the two sliders is fixedly connected to the top of the two limiting plates respectively.

[0010] Preferably, a sliding block is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two nut seats, and the two sliding blocks are slidably connected to the top of the top frame through a sliding groove.

[0011] Preferably, one side of the inner plate and one side of the outer frame are fixedly connected with protrusions, and the two protrusions are slidably connected to the two limiting plates through movable grooves respectively.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the bidirectional screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top frame via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the bidirectional screw passes through the side wall of the top frame via a bearing sleeve.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-5A weighing device for sheep farming includes a base 1, a weighing body 2 mounted on the top of the base 1, a frame 3 fixedly connected to the top of the weighing body 2, a top frame 5 fixedly connected to the top of the frame 3, a drive motor 8 fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the top frame 5 by bolts, a bidirectional screw 6 rotatably connected to the inner side of the top frame 5, both ends of the bidirectional screw 6 being threadedly connected to nut seats 7, and a limit plate 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the two nut seats 7, an outer frame 16 provided between the two limit plates 12, an inner plate 15 slidably connected to the inner side of the outer frame 16, and a side of the outer frame 16 fixedly connected to one side of one of the two limit plates 12, wherein the inner plate 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the other limit plate 12, a side plate 20 fixedly connected to one side of the frame 3, and a cylinder 19 fixedly connected to one side of the side plate 20 by bolts, and the output shaft of the cylinder 19 passing through the side plate 20 and fixedly connected to one side of the outer frame 16.

[0024] First, place the required weighing equipment in the desired position and ensure that the reading on the weighing platform 2 has been zeroed after tare to prepare for accurate measurement. Open the frame 3 and drive the sheep between the two limiting plates 12 inside the frame 3. Start the drive motor 8 to rotate the bidirectional screw 6. Since both ends of the bidirectional screw 6 are connected to nut seats 7 by threaded engagement, when the bidirectional screw 6 rotates, it will cause the two nut seats 7 to move the two limiting plates 12 towards the center, stabilizing the sheep on both sides. The outer frame 16 between the two limiting plates 12 and the inner plate 15 slidably connected to its inner side can further limit the sheep after the two limiting plates 12 have been initially fixed. Specifically, start the cylinder 19, whose output shaft will drive the outer frame 16 and the inner plate 15 forward, so that the inner plate 15 can come close to the sheep's body, further restricting its range of motion, thereby ensuring that the sheep will not move around during the weighing process. Finally, use the weighing platform 2 to weigh the sheep. It is worth mentioning that the design of the inner plate 15 sliding in the outer frame 16 not only does not hinder the movement of the two limiting plates 12, but also allows the position of the limiting plates 12 and the inner plate 15 to be adjusted according to the actual size of the sheep, ensuring the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0025] Furthermore, a door 9 is hinged to the outer side of the frame 3, and a ramp 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the frame 3 near the door 9. With the door 9 hinged to the outer side of the frame 3 and the ramp 4 fixedly connected to the side of the frame 3 near the door 9, when the sheep are driven into the frame 3, the door 9 can be opened, and the ramp 4 can provide a gentle entry passage for the sheep, reducing the resistance caused by the sheep due to height difference or unfamiliarity with the environment.

[0026] Furthermore, each of the two nut seats 7 has a slider 10 fixedly connected to its bottom, and both sliders 10 pass through the bottom of the top frame 5 via a groove 11. The bottom of each slider 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the two limiting plates 12. Through the cooperation between the sliders 10 fixedly connected to the bottom of the two nut seats 7 and the groove 11 opened at the bottom of the top frame 5, when the bidirectional screw 6 rotates, the sliders 10 move smoothly along the groove 11, causing the two limiting plates 12 to move towards the center or outward in sync. This ensures the stability and accuracy of the limiting plates 12 during movement, avoids the problem of poor limiting effect caused by shaking or offset, and achieves the effect of improving the reliability of equipment operation and weighing accuracy.

[0027] Furthermore, each of the two nut seats 7 is fixedly connected to a sliding block 13, and both sliding blocks 13 are slidably connected to the top of the top frame 5 through a sliding groove 14. Through the cooperation between the sliding blocks 13 fixedly connected to the top of the two nut seats 7 and the sliding groove 14 opened on the top of the top frame 5, when the bidirectional screw 6 rotates, the sliding blocks 13 slide in the sliding groove 14, providing additional guidance and support for the movement of the nut seats 7.

[0028] Furthermore, protrusions 17 are fixedly connected to one side of the inner plate 15 and one side of the outer frame 16, and the two protrusions 17 are slidably connected to the two limiting plates 12 through the movable grooves 18 respectively. The sliding connection between the protrusions 17 fixedly connected to one side of the inner plate 15 and the outer frame 16 and the movable grooves 18 on the two limiting plates 12 ensures that when the cylinder 19 pushes the outer frame 16 and the inner plate 15 to move, the protrusions 17 slide in the movable grooves 18, ensuring that the moving direction of the inner plate 15 and the outer frame 16 is always consistent with the limiting plate 12.

[0029] Furthermore, one end of the bidirectional screw 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top frame 5 via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the bidirectional screw 6 passes through the side wall of the top frame 5 via a bearing sleeve. Universal self-locking wheels 21 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base 1. The design of one end of the bidirectional screw 6 being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top frame 5 via a rotating shaft and the other end passing through the side wall of the top frame 5 via a bearing sleeve ensures that the bidirectional screw 6 has good stability and smoothness during rotation, reduces friction and wear, and extends the service life of the equipment. At the same time, the universal self-locking wheels 21 fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base 1 make the entire weighing equipment easy to move and position.

[0030] In summary:

[0031] First, place the required weighing equipment in the desired position and ensure that the reading of the scale 2 has been zeroed after tare to prepare for accurate measurement. Open the door 9 of the frame 3, using the ramp 4 to provide a gentle entry passage for the sheep, reducing resistance caused by height differences or unfamiliarity with the environment. Drive the sheep between the two limiting plates 12 inside the frame 3. Start the drive motor 8, which drives the bidirectional screw 6 to rotate. Since both ends of the bidirectional screw 6 are connected to nut seats 7 by threaded engagement, when the bidirectional screw 6 rotates, it will cause the two nut seats 7 to move the two limiting plates 12 towards the center, stabilizing the sheep on both sides. During this process, the sliders 10 fixedly connected to the bottom of the two nut seats 7 move smoothly along the grooves 11 opened at the bottom of the top frame 5, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the limiting plates 12 during movement and avoiding poor limiting effect caused by shaking or offset. Meanwhile, the sliding blocks 13 fixedly connected to the top of the two nut seats 7 are slidably connected to the top of the top frame 5 through the sliding groove 14, further enhancing the stability of the nut seats 7 and the limiting plate 12 and reducing vibration or jamming that may occur during equipment operation. The outer frame 16 between the two limiting plates 12 and the inner plate 15 slidably connected to its inner side can further limit the sheep after the two limiting plates 12 are initially fixed. Specifically, when the cylinder 19 is activated, its output shaft will drive the outer frame 16 and the inner plate 15 to move forward, so that the inner plate 15 can be close to the sheep's body, further restricting its range of motion, thereby ensuring that the sheep will not move around during the weighing process. During this process, the protrusions 17 fixedly connected to one side of the inner plate 15 and the outer frame 16 slide through the movable grooves 18 on the two limiting plates 12, ensuring that the movement direction of the inner plate 15 and the outer frame 16 is always consistent with the limiting plate 12. Finally, the sheep is weighed using the weighing body 2. It is worth mentioning that one end of the bidirectional screw 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top frame 5 via a rotating shaft, while the other end passes through the side wall of the top frame 5 via a bearing sleeve. This ensures good stability and smoothness of the bidirectional screw 6 during rotation, reduces friction and wear, and extends the service life of the equipment. Furthermore, universal self-locking wheels 21 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the base 1, allowing the entire weighing equipment to be easily moved and positioned. The design of the door 9 and the inclined plate 4, which are hinged to the outside of the frame 3, provides a smooth and safe entry passage for sheep, optimizing the user experience and protecting the animal's safety. Secondly, the dual guiding design of the slider 10 and the slide groove 11, and the sliding block 13 and the slide groove 14, ensures the stability and accuracy of the limiting plate 12 during movement, avoiding poor limiting effect due to shaking or offset, and improving the reliability and weighing accuracy of the equipment. Furthermore, the design of the cylinder 19 pushing the outer frame 16 and inner plate 15 further enhances the limiting effect on the sheep, effectively preventing the sheep from moving around during the weighing process and ensuring the accuracy of the weighing results.Furthermore, the sliding connection between the protrusion 17 and the movable groove 18 ensures that the movement direction of the inner plate 15 and the outer frame 16 is always consistent with that of the limiting plate 12, improving motion accuracy and avoiding mechanical failure. Finally, the bidirectional screw 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top frame 5 via a rotating shaft and a through-bearing sleeve. Combined with the universal self-locking wheels 21 at the four corners of the base 1, this design not only ensures the rotational stability and smoothness of the bidirectional screw 6 but also makes the entire weighing equipment easy to move and position, balancing stability and portability.
