Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of livestock breeding technology, and specifically relates to an Euler sheep weighing device. Background Technology

[0002] The Oula sheep is a Tibetan sheep breed, known for its large size, tender meat, and low gamey flavor. Currently, more and more people are choosing to raise Oula sheep. Obtaining weight data at each stage of Oula sheep farming is crucial. Analysis of this data allows for targeted flocking and nutritional adjustments. However, most existing weighing devices use floor scales. To prevent stress reactions in the Oula sheep, the torso is typically restrained by clamps. But Oula sheep have flexible lower limbs, and during weighing, the entire body experiences intermittent weight loss and overweight when the lower limbs exert force, leading to unstable weight readings and frequent inaccuracies in weighing.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an Euler sheep weighing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an Euler sheep weighing device, comprising a limiting component, a supporting component, and a weighing component. The limiting component includes a protective box and a baffle. The protective box has an open end on its side, and a slot is formed on the inner wall of the open end of the protective box. The baffle is detachably slidably disposed in the slot. The supporting component includes two symmetrically distributed supporting plates, which are respectively fixed through the two side walls of the protective box. Multiple guide holes are linearly formed on the two supporting plates located inside the protective box. The weighing component includes a lifting component, a hanging scale, a suspension device, and weighing ropes. The lifting component is disposed above the protective box, the hanging scale is disposed on the lifting component, the suspension device is disposed at the input end of the hanging scale, and multiple weighing ropes are configured, all in a closed loop shape, and the multiple weighing ropes are wrapped around the suspension device.

[0005] When the lifting component is subjected to an upward force, multiple weighing ropes wrap around the body of the Euler sheep and move upward, so that the Euler sheep's limbs are completely suspended in the air and the body cannot sway up and down, and the hanging scale can obtain an accurate weight value.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, multiple clearance grooves are linearly opened on the inner wall of the lower end of the enclosure box, and the cross-section of the multiple clearance grooves is configured in an arc shape, with the bottom of the multiple weighing ropes respectively embedded in the multiple clearance grooves.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom of the weighing rope is configured as a connecting section, and a sleeve section is rotatably provided on the connecting section.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a cleaning cotton is provided inside the guide hole.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lifting component includes an electro-hydraulic rod and a mounting plate. Two electro-hydraulic rods are configured and are respectively fixed on two support plates on the outside of the enclosure box. The mounting plate is fixed to the output end of the two electro-hydraulic rods.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the crane scale is fixedly and through the mounting plate, and a scale is provided on the crane scale.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the hanger is configured in a triangular shape, and the upper end of the hanger is pre-set with a welding port, and the hanger is welded to the input end of the crane scale.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a feeding trough is fixed on the inner wall of the enclosure box.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. Driven by the electric hydraulic rod, the crane scale moves multiple weighing ropes around the torso of the Euler sheep and lifts it upwards, so that the sheep's limbs are completely suspended in the air. The suspended sheep cannot move its limbs on its own, thus ensuring that the sheep cannot sway in the vertical direction. This avoids intermittent weight loss and overweight during the weighing process, so the crane scale can stably display the weight value of the Euler sheep and improve the accuracy of the data.

[0015] 2. When multiple weighing ropes pass through multiple guide holes below the support plate, they will have a dispersing effect, preventing the multiple weighing ropes from getting tangled during the upward movement, which would increase the load on the Euler sheep and improve the weighing stability.

[0016] 3. The guide hole with cleaning cotton allows for regular and quick cleaning of the weighing rope, ensuring the accuracy of the weighing results. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an Euler sheep weighing device includes a limiting component, a supporting component, and a weighing component. The limiting component includes a protective box 11 and a baffle 12. The protective box 11 has an open end on its side, and a slot is formed on the inner wall of the open end of the protective box 11. The baffle 12 is detachably slidably disposed in the slot. The supporting component includes two symmetrically distributed supporting plates 21, which are respectively fixed through the two side walls of the protective box 11. Multiple guide holes 22 are linearly formed on the two supporting plates 21 located inside the protective box 11. The weighing component includes a lifting component, a hanging scale 31, a suspension device 32, and weighing ropes 33. The lifting component is disposed above the protective box 11, the hanging scale 31 is disposed on the lifting component, the suspension device 32 is disposed at the input end of the hanging scale 31, and multiple weighing ropes 33 are configured, all in a closed loop shape, and the multiple weighing ropes 33 are wrapped around the suspension device 32.

[0024] It should be explained that the lifting component can lift itself, enabling the crane scale 31 to move up and down, thereby completing the lifting operation.

[0025] Among them, the hanging scale 31 is an existing spring suspension scale, whose structure and principle are existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] When the lifting component moves upward, the hanging scale 31 drives multiple weighing ropes 33 to move upward through the suspension device 32 until the multiple weighing ropes 33 completely wrap around the torso between the forelimbs and hindlimbs of the Euler sheep to be weighed. Then, the Euler sheep is completely lifted up, so that the limbs of the Euler sheep are completely suspended in the air. The Euler sheep in the air cannot move on its own with its limbs, thus ensuring that the Euler sheep cannot sway in the vertical direction, thereby avoiding intermittent weight loss and overweight during the weighing process. Therefore, when the lifting component stops moving, the hanging scale 31 can stably display the weight value of the Euler sheep, thereby improving the accuracy of the data.

[0027] The multiple weighing ropes 33 increase the load-bearing area of ​​the Euler sheep, reduce the load pressure, and prevent excessive pressure from causing stress. In addition, if the Euler sheep's body leans forward or backward while suspended, the portion of the weighing rope 33 not in contact with the sheep can intercept it, ensuring the stability of the weighing and the safety of the sheep.

[0028] When the multiple weighing ropes 33 below the support plate 21 pass through the multiple guide holes 22, they will have a dispersing effect, preventing the multiple weighing ropes 33 from getting tangled during the upward movement, which would increase the load on the Euler sheep. Moreover, when the weighing ropes 33 pass through the guide holes 22, the weighing ropes 33 expand, ensuring that the Euler sheep can smoothly enter the enclosure box 11.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of clearance grooves 111 are linearly formed on the inner wall of the lower end of the enclosure box 11, and the cross-section of the plurality of clearance grooves 111 is configured in an arc shape, and the bottom of the plurality of weighing ropes 33 is respectively embedded in the plurality of clearance grooves 111.

[0030] It should be explained that before weighing, the weighing rope 33 is configured into a house shape under the limiting action of the guide hole 22 and the clearance groove 111, thereby providing sufficient space for the Euler sheep to move around.

[0031] Furthermore, multiple weighing ropes 33 are embedded in multiple clearance slots 111 to prevent the lower limbs of the Eura sheep from getting tangled with the multiple weighing ropes 33 during the process of entering the enclosure box 11, so that the Eura sheep can smoothly enter the target area.

[0032] It should be noted that the weighing rope 33 has a certain degree of elastic deformation to avoid fatigue failure during repeated weighing.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the weighing rope 33 is configured as a connecting section 331, and a sleeve section 332 is rotatably provided on the connecting section 331.

[0034] It should be noted that if the weighing rope 33 is stepped on by the lower limbs of the Euler sheep when it moves upward, the weighing rope 33 may get stuck in the gap between the sheep's hooves.

[0035] In this application, the connecting segment 332 first exerts an upward force on the sheep's hoof, causing the Euler sheep's lower limbs to adaptively flex the knee and tilt the hoof surface backward. The connecting segment 332 will then detach from the gap in the sheep's hoof by rolling.

[0036] In the above, using a rolling method can reduce the friction between the weighing rope 33 and the hoof surface, so that the weighing rope 33 can quickly separate from the sheep's hoof.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, a cleaning cotton is provided inside the guide hole 22.

[0038] It should be explained that after the weighing process is repeated many times, some contaminants will inevitably adhere to the surface of the weighing rope 33. In order to avoid the contaminants affecting the weighing results, after completing multiple weighing operations, the weighing rope 33 is rotated several times. The weighing rope 33 and the connecting section 332 will be cleaned multiple times with cleaning cotton to thoroughly remove the contaminants adhering to the weighing rope 33 and the connecting section 332, thereby ensuring more accurate weighing results.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting component includes an electric hydraulic rod 301 and a mounting plate 302. Two electric hydraulic rods 301 are configured and are respectively fixed on two support plates 21 on the outside of the enclosure box 11. The mounting plate 302 is fixed to the output end of the two electric hydraulic rods 301.

[0040] The electric hydraulic rods 301 are controlled by an external control terminal. That is, when weighing is required, the control terminal controls the two electric hydraulic rods 301 to extend simultaneously, driving the mounting plate 302 to move upward and complete the lifting and weighing. After the weighing is completed, the control terminal controls the two electric hydraulic rods 301 to retract simultaneously, driving the mounting plate 302 to move downward and prepare for the next weighing operation.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the hanging scale 31 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 302, and the hanging scale 31 is provided with a scale 311 for easy direct reading.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the suspension device 32 is configured in a triangular shape, and the upper end of the suspension device 32 is pre-set with a welding port, and the suspension device 32 is welded to the input end of the hanging scale 31.

[0043] It should be noted that the triangular suspension 32 has strong stability and is not easily deformed.

[0044] In addition, when installing the symmetrical weighing rope 33, firstly, the middle part of the strip-shaped weighing rope 33 is embedded into the clearance groove 111. Then, the two ends of the weighing rope 33 are passed through the guide holes 22 of the two support plates 21 and knotted. Then, the knotted closed-loop weighing rope 33 is wrapped around the suspension 32 through the welding port of the suspension 32. Finally, the suspension 32 is welded.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, a feeding trough 112 is fixed on the inner wall of the enclosure 11 to induce the Euler sheep to move into the enclosure 11 on its own, and to distract the Euler sheep before weighing to prevent it from making stressful movements.

[0046] Specifically, when weighing an Euler sheep, first remove the baffle 12, drive the sheep into the enclosure 11, then close the baffle 12. When weighing begins, the control unit simultaneously drives the electric hydraulic rod 301 to extend, the mounting plate 302 and the hanging scale 31 to move upwards. The hanging scale 31, through the suspension device 32, pulls multiple weighing ropes 33 upwards. The multiple weighing ropes 33 completely wrap around the torso area between the forelegs and hind legs of the Euler sheep to be weighed. Then, the Euler sheep is completely lifted, allowing it to... The sheep's limbs are completely suspended in the air. The suspended sheep cannot move on its own with its limbs, ensuring that the sheep cannot sway in the vertical direction and avoiding intermittent weight loss and overweight during the weighing process. When the sheep is completely suspended, the control electric hydraulic rod 301 stops driving. At this time, the static pointer reading on the hanging scale 31 is the weight value of the sheep. After the weighing is completed, the control terminal simultaneously drives the electric hydraulic rod 301 to retract, releasing the sheep to complete one weighing operation.

[0047] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be primarily defined by the scope of the claims.
