Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, and in particular to a rapid body size measurement device for breeding pigs. Background Technology
[0002] Body size and weight parameters of gilts at different growth stages are key indicators for assessing pig growth and development, forming the basis for breeding stock selection. Only by obtaining substantial phenotypic data through performance testing can a large database of breeding phenotypes be established, combined with genetic evaluation models, for generational selection of gilts. A gilt performance testing system is a breeding facility used for measuring and recording performance. Breeders use this system to measure phenotypic performance characteristics of the pig herd, including growth rate and feed conversion ratio. The acquired phenotypic performance data, combined with genetic evaluation models, is used to evaluate and select gilts based on their production levels.
[0003] The existing Chinese patent with publication number CN214017556U discloses a sliding measuring rod for measuring the body size of breeding pigs. The existing technical solution has the following defects: Although the sliding measuring rod can accurately measure the height data of breeding pigs and facilitate the measurement and reading of the height and body length data of breeding pigs, the above technical solution requires moving a horizontal bar to measure the height of breeding pigs. The measurement process is relatively slow and inconvenient to quickly measure the height of breeding pigs, which can easily reduce its effectiveness. Utility Model Content

Slots 4 are provided on both sides of the top surface of the base plate 1, and inserts 3 are provided inside the slots 4. A vertical rod 6 is provided on the top surface of the inserts 3, and a scale line 7 is provided on the front end surface of the vertical rod 6. A horizontal plate 13 is provided between the two vertical rods 6, and both ends of the horizontal plate 13 extend into the grooves 16 opened on one side surface of the vertical rod 6. A measuring plate 14 is provided below the horizontal plate 13, and a connecting rod 12 is provided through the horizontal plate 13 at the middle position of the top surface of the measuring plate 14. A handle 9 is provided at the top of the connecting rod 12. A return spring 11 is sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting rod 12 between the horizontal plate 13 and the handle 9. A second positioning bolt 8 is provided through one side surface of the vertical rod 6, and one end of the second positioning bolt 8 extends to the two sides of the horizontal plate 13. Inside the second positioning hole 15, the two sides of the base plate 1 are provided with the insert block 3 and the first positioning bolt 2 is provided. One end of the first positioning bolt 2 extends into the first positioning hole 5 opened on one side of the inner wall of the slot 4. When the breeding pig is driven onto the base plate 1, when the breeding pig reaches the top surface of the base plate 1, the operator pushes the handle 9. As the handle 9 moves, the measuring plate 14 is moved through the connecting rod 12. When the measuring plate 14 abuts against the topknot of the breeding pig, the height of the breeding pig can be measured by using the scale line 7 on the front surface of the upright rod 6. The measurement process is convenient and fast, which helps to improve its use effect. The measuring plate 14 can be automatically reset after measurement by using the return spring 11 on the connecting rod 12, which facilitates subsequent normal use.
[0029] In one embodiment, the first positioning bolt 2 is threadedly connected to the first positioning hole 5, and the second positioning bolt 8 is threadedly connected to the second positioning hole 15. By rotating the first positioning bolt 2, when one end of the first positioning bolt 2 is away from the first positioning hole 5 on the inner wall of the slot 4, the first positioning bolt 2 is pulled to remove it from the base plate 1, and the insert 3 can be removed from the slot 4 on the base plate 1. Then, by rotating the second positioning bolt 8 on both sides of the horizontal plate 13, one end of the second positioning bolt 8 is moved away from the second positioning hole 15 on the horizontal plate 13, and the uprights 6 on both sides of the horizontal plate 13 are removed, so that the device can be disassembled and separated, reducing the size of the device and making it convenient to carry.
[0030] In one embodiment, the connecting rod 12 is movably connected to the cross plate 13, which facilitates the movement of the connecting rod 12, thereby driving the measuring plate 14 to move.
[0031] In one embodiment, a limiting rod 10 is provided through the horizontal plate 13 between the handle 9 and the measuring plate 14, and the limiting rod 10 is movably connected to the horizontal plate 13. The limiting rod 10 can limit the measuring plate 14, thereby facilitating the stability of the measuring plate 14 during movement and making it convenient to measure the height of the breeding pig.
[0032] In one embodiment, the plug 3 is matched with the slot 4 to facilitate the insertion of the plug 3 into the slot 4.
[0033] In one embodiment, the horizontal plate 13 matches the groove 16, facilitating the insertion of both ends of the horizontal plate 13 into the groove 16.
[0034] In one embodiment, the measuring plate 14 is located between two uprights 6 to facilitate rapid measurement of the height of the breeding pigs on the base plate 1.
[0035] In one embodiment, the bottom surface of the base plate 1 is provided with anti-slip texture, and the anti-slip texture is evenly and interwoven on the bottom surface of the base plate 1. The use of anti-slip texture can improve the friction between the base plate 1 and the ground, thereby facilitating the improvement of its stability.
[0036] Working principle:
[0037] In use, the breeding pig is driven onto the base plate 1. When the pig reaches the top surface of the base plate 1, the operator pushes the handle 9. As the handle 9 moves, the measuring plate 14 moves via the connecting rod 12. When the measuring plate 14 comes into contact with the pig's topknot, the pig's height can be measured using the scale lines 7 on the front surface of the upright rod 6. The measurement process is convenient and quick, improving its effectiveness. The return spring 11 on the connecting rod 12 allows the measuring plate 14 to automatically return to its original position after measurement, facilitating subsequent normal operation. In use, by rotating the first positioning bolt 2, when one end of the first positioning bolt 2 is away from the first positioning hole 5 on the inner wall of the slot 4, the first positioning bolt 2 is pulled to remove it from the base plate 1, and the insert block 3 can be removed from the slot 4 on the base plate 1. Then, by rotating the second positioning bolts 8 on both sides of the horizontal plate 13, so that one end of the second positioning bolt 8 is away from the second positioning hole 15 on the horizontal plate 13, the uprights 6 on both sides of the horizontal plate 13 can be removed, and the device can be disassembled and separated, reducing the size of the device and making it convenient to carry.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
