[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0026] In the process of poultry farming, it is necessary to regularly vaccinate young birds, such as chicks or ducklings. When using common vaccine injection instruments, the young birds need to be held manually and placed at the position where the injection needle extends. However, common vaccine syringes may be misaligned during the injection process, resulting in incomplete injection, missed immunization, or even death of the young birds.

[0027] Based on this, an exemplary embodiment of this application provides a detection component for a fowl vaccine injection machine. The detection component is disposed on the vaccine injection machine near the injection needle and includes a housing, a detection switch, and a cover. The housing includes a first housing part and a second housing part connected to each other. The first housing part and the second housing part are arranged at an angle and enclose a limiting space. When a fowl chick is placed in the limiting space, the fowl chick's body will touch the touch button of the detection switch. The vaccine injection machine detects the presence of the fowl chick, extends the injection needle, and injects the fowl chick. During this process, the first housing part and the second housing part can limit the fowl chick's body, so that the injection site of the fowl chick is within the injection range of the injection needle, ensuring the stability of the injection site and preventing the injection position from being deviated.

[0028] An exemplary embodiment of this application provides a detection component for a poultry vaccine injection machine. This detection component is positioned on the vaccine injection machine near the injection needle and is used to detect young poultry and restrict the movement of their bodies, ensuring that the injection site is within the injection range of the needle. The detection component is electrically connected to the control system of the vaccine injection machine and can transmit detection information to the control system. Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the detection assembly includes a housing 10 and a cover plate 20. The housing 10 includes a first housing portion 102 and a second housing portion 101 connected to each other. The first housing portion 102 and the second housing portion 101 are arranged at an included angle and enclose a limiting space 103. Figure 3 As shown, a receiving groove 104 is formed inside the housing 10; a detection switch 30 is disposed within the receiving groove 104, and the touch button 301 of the detection switch 30 extends into the limiting space 103. Preferably, the detection switch 30 is a micro switch with high sensitivity, suitable for detecting the presence of poultry. The position of the touch button 301 of the detection switch 30 can vary in various ways, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the touch button 301 of the detection switch 30 can be located on the first housing part 102. When the poultry chick is placed in the limiting space 103, the head of the poultry chick abuts against the second housing part 101, and the neck abuts against the first housing part 102. At this time, the neck of the poultry chick can touch the touch button 301 of the detection switch 30, detecting the presence of the poultry chick. The vaccine injection machine then controls the injection needle to extend and inject the poultry chick. The detection switch 30 can also be located at the connection between the first housing part 102 and the second housing part 101, such as... Figure 4 As shown, when the young birds are placed in the limiting space 103, their heads can touch the touch button 301 of the detection switch 30. This solution can prevent the young birds from being unable to touch the touch button 301 of the detection switch 30 due to neck twisting.

[0029] To facilitate maintenance or replacement of the detection switch 30, a cover plate 20 is detachably mounted on the housing 10, located above the receiving groove 104. Preferably, a countersunk hole is formed in the cover plate 20, and a countersunk screw is installed in the countersunk hole, allowing for a detachable connection between the cover plate 20 and the housing 10. To facilitate observation of the operation of the detection switch 30, the cover plate 20 is made of a semi-transparent material, such as polycarbonate or acrylic resin. To facilitate the installation of the cover plate 20 and its positioning during installation, a mounting groove 108 for mounting the cover plate 20 is formed on the top of the housing 10, and the shape of the mounting groove 108 is adapted to the shape of the cover plate 20. When a young bird is placed in the limiting space 103, its body will touch the touch button 301 of the detection switch 30. The vaccine injection machine detects the presence of the young bird, extends the injection needle, and injects the young bird. During this process, the first shell part 102 and the second shell part 101 can limit the body of the young bird, so that the injection site of the young bird is within the injection range of the injection needle, ensuring that the injection site is stable and that the injection position is not deviated.

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the included angle between the first shell portion 102 and the second shell portion 101 is 120°. At this time, the first shell portion 102 and the second shell portion 101 enclose a large limiting space 103, which is suitable for detecting ducklings or goslings that are larger in size or have longer necks. In one embodiment, as... Figure 5 As shown, the included angle between the first shell portion 102 and the second shell portion 101 is 90°. At this time, the limiting space 103 formed by the first shell portion 102 and the second shell portion 101 is smaller than the limiting space 103 when the included angle between the first shell portion 102 and the second shell portion 101 is 120°, which is suitable for detecting chicks with relatively small body size.

[0031] Preferably, in order to further restrict the neck of poultry pups, such as... Figure 5 As shown, a neck limiting portion 105 is formed on the first shell portion 102, extending into the limiting space 103 to support the neck of the young bird. The neck limiting portion 105 includes a neck limiting surface inclined from the first shell portion 102 into the limiting space 103. The neck limiting surface can conform to the neck of the young bird, so that the neck of the young bird and the neck limiting portion 105 are tightly fitted to limit the neck of the young bird.

[0032] In another exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 6As shown, to prevent the bird pup's neck and head from twisting during injection and to prevent the injection needle from hitting the bird pup's head, a head-limiting portion 106 is formed at the connection between the first shell portion 102 and the second shell portion 101. The head-limiting portion 106 extends into the limiting space 103 and has an inclined first head-limiting surface and a second head-limiting surface, both of which extend inclined into the limiting space 103 to fit the head contour of the bird pup. The bird pup's head can be supported on the head-limiting portion 106, preventing the injection needle from hitting the bird pup's head and causing the bird pup's death.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the housing 10 also includes a third housing part 107; the third housing part 107 is connected to the second housing part 101 and is disposed opposite to the first housing part 102, and the bottoms of the first housing part 102 and the third housing part 107 are connected to each other; the touch button 301 of the detection switch 30 is disposed on the first housing part 102, and the bottom of the first housing part 102 is provided with an elongated hole for the injection needle to pass through; the first housing part 102, the second housing part 101 and the third housing part 107 together enclose a limiting space 103. When it is necessary to vaccinate poultry chicks, the chest of the poultry chicks is placed in the limiting space 103, and the neck is placed on the second housing part 101. When the chest of the poultry chicks touches the touch button 301 of the detection switch 30, the vaccine injection machine detects the presence of the poultry chicks, extends the injection needle, and injects the pectoral muscles of the poultry chicks.
