[0002] A sheep's weight is a direct indicator of its health. Malnourished sheep produce poor-quality mutton, and their cashmere also has reduced elasticity and toughness. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the weight of sheep frequently during sheep farming.
[0003] Currently, the weight of sheep is mostly measured manually. The measuring personnel need to repeatedly lead the flock. During the leading process, the sheep may be frightened and run away, requiring a lot of manpower to catch them, which will affect the subsequent weighing. In order to address this technical problem, this application proposes a sheep guiding weighing channel device. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a sheep-guided weighing channel device. The sheep can be separated by the alternating opening and closing of the first and second fence gates on both sides. Combined with the protective fence, the sheep can be guided to enter the weighing platform inside the protective frame one by one in sequence for weighing, without the need for repeated manual pulling to avoid startling the sheep and causing them to run away.

[0021] 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.
[0022] Reference Figure 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a sheep guiding weighing channel device, including a base 1, a protective frame 8 fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the base 1, protective railings 2 fixedly connected to both ends of the protective frame 8, a rotating seat 3 fixedly connected to the inner end of the protective railing 2, a rotating rod 4 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating seat 3, a first gate 5 fixedly connected to the inner end of the rotating rod 4, a first drive assembly provided at each of the four corners of the top of the base 1, the first drive assembly including a protective cover 15 fixedly connected to each of the four corners of the top of the base 1, a drive motor 19 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective cover 15, a rotating shaft 18 fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive motor 19, a second bevel gear 17 fixedly connected to the outer end of the rotating shaft 18, a first bevel gear 16 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod 4, the first bevel gear 16 and the second bevel gear 17 are meshed together, and the lower side of the outer wall of the rotating rod 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the protective cover 15;
[0023] Specifically, the drive motor 19 drives the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 17 to rotate, thereby causing the first bevel gear 16 to rotate. The first bevel gear 16 then drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate inside the rotating seat 3, which causes the electric slide rail 6 to rotate and open, allowing the sheep to be placed inside the device. The protective rails 2 on both sides and the second fence gates 7 on both sides of the protective frame 8 can block the sheep. After the sheep inside the protective frame 8 has been weighed, the second fence gates 7 are opened to put the sheep in for weighing. This orderly guidance allows for continuous individual weighing of the sheep, improving the overall weighing efficiency. The protective cover 15 can protect the drive motor 19, preventing it from being damaged by the sheep trampling during the weighing process.
[0024] The protective frame 8 is connected to the second fence gate 7 at both ends of the left and right sides via the second drive assembly. The second drive assembly includes an electric slide rail 6 fixedly connected to both ends of the protective frame 8. A slider 14 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the electric slide rail 6. The inner end of the slider 14 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the second fence gate 7. The second fence gate 7 is used to cooperate with the protective frame 8 to form a closed space to block the sheep. A weighing platform 10 is provided on the inner wall of the top of the base 1. A cleaning assembly is provided on the left side of the front end of the protective frame 8. The cleaning assembly includes a fixing ring 11 fixedly connected to the front end of the protective frame 8. A spray head 12 is snapped onto the outer wall of the fixing ring 11. A connector 13 is provided at the other end of the spray head 12. A through groove 9 is provided at both the front and rear ends of the base 1. The through groove 9 is used to drain the sewage inside the base 1.
[0025] Specifically, the second fence gate 7, in conjunction with the protective frame 8, forms a sealed space, allowing sheep to stand only on the weighing platform 10 for weighing after entering. At the same time, the second fence gate 7 can also separate the sheep inside the protective frame 8 from the sheep waiting inside the protective fence 2, ensuring that only one sheep is weighed at a time. After weighing, the next sheep can be weighed immediately. If the sheep leaves dirt on the surface of the weighing platform 10 during weighing, the spray head 12 can be removed from the fixing ring 11, and water can be sprayed from the spray head 12 through the water source connected to the connector 13 to clean the surface of the weighing platform 10. This allows the dirt to be mixed with the water and discharged into the device through the channel 9, avoiding any impact on subsequent weighing data.
[0026] Working principle: In use, the two drive motors 19 on one side of the device are started by the external controller. The drive ends of the drive motors 19 drive the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 17 to rotate, thereby driving the first bevel gear 16 to rotate. This drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate, causing the first fence gate 5 to rotate, thus opening the first fence gate 5. Then, the lead sheep is driven into the protective frame 8 through the first fence gate 5. Then, the electric slide rail 6 is started by the external control switch. The electric slide rail 6 drives the slider 14 to move, and the slider 14 drives the second fence gate 7 to move, thus closing the second fence gate 7. Together with the protective frame 8, this forms a sealed space to block the lead sheep. After the second sheep follows the lead sheep into the device, the drive motor 19 is started in reverse, causing the first fence gate 5 to close, allowing the second sheep to enter the protective frame 8. Two sheep are trapped between the first fence gate 5 and the second fence gate 7. The lead sheep will stand on the weighing platform 10 and be weighed. After weighing, the second fence gate 7 and the first fence gate 5 on both sides are opened, the lead sheep is driven out of the device, and the second sheep is placed on the weighing platform 10. At the same time, the third sheep is placed between the first fence gate 5 and the second fence gate 7 on the left. The sheep are weighed in this cycle. There is no need for repeated manual pulling, which avoids excessive contact between the measuring personnel and the sheep, which may frighten the sheep and cause them to run away. When there is residual dirt on the top of the weighing platform 10 that affects the weighing, an external water source can be connected through the connector 13, and water can be sprayed out of the weighing platform 10 through the spray head 12 for cleaning. The wastewater generated after cleaning is discharged into the base 1 through the channel 9, ensuring the accuracy of the sheep weighing.
[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
