[0024] 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.
[0025] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 5 This utility model provides an automatic weighing guide channel for livestock farming, including a weighing channel 1. The weighing channel 1 includes a base 11 and guardrails 12 installed on both sides of the top of the base 11. A collection groove 13 is machined at the top of the base 11, and a mesh plate 14 is provided inside the collection groove 13. An installation groove 15 is machined at the top of the mesh plate 14, and a weighing device 16 for weighing livestock is installed in the installation groove 15. A gap is formed between the weighing device 16 and the installation groove 15. The weighing device 16 is a Shanghai Hengto DC weighing device. The S-HT-H model weigher 16 has an animal mode and can automatically maintain zero position, so it is suitable for use in this utility model. Multiple partition doors 4 are provided between the two guardrails 12. Each partition door 4 has two electric push rods 6 connected to the inner wall of its top. The two electric push rods 6 are respectively embedded in the two guardrails 22 to adjust the height of the partition door 4. The electric push rods 6 are 24VDC2000N. This model of electric push rod 6 has an input voltage of 24VDC and a maximum load of 2000N, which can support the stable lifting and lowering of the partition door 4.
[0026] Both guardrails 12 have rectangular through slots 17 machined on one side, and push plates 18 pass through the rectangular through slots 17. Multiple multi-stage hydraulic cylinders 5 are detachably connected to the outer walls of the two push plates 18 on the opposite side. The multi-stage hydraulic cylinders 5 are selected as TG4TG-E150×1500-EQ. The multi-stage hydraulic cylinders 5 are connected to the fence 22 through mounting plates. Multiple nozzles 19 are embedded on the side of the two push plates 18 that are close to each other. The multiple nozzles 19 are connected to a water supply component 3. Specifically, the water supply component 3 includes a water pump 31 connected to the multiple nozzles 19. The water pump 31 is selected as IS100-65-250. The water pump 31 is connected to a water storage tank 32 for water supply.
[0027] Next, guide channels 2 are connected to both the front and rear ends of the weighing channel 1. The guide channel 2 includes ramps 21. Both ramps 21 are detachably connected to the base 11. The top surfaces of both ramps 21 are processed with anti-slip textures. Both sides of the top of the two ramps 21 are detachably connected with railings 22.
[0028] In practical use, the weighing channel 1 and two guide channels 2 are installed in the area where livestock must pass through to enter or leave the breeding shed. When livestock enter or leave the breeding shed, they walk through the guide channel 2 in front of the weighing channel 1 to the first partition door 4. The first and second partition doors 4 open and close automatically, so that there is one animal between the first and second partition doors 4 and between the second and third partition doors 4. Then the third partition door 4 is opened, allowing the animal to walk onto the weighing device 16 for weighing. At the same time, the animals behind enter the weighing channel 1 in sequence. After the animals are weighed, the fourth partition door 4 opens automatically, allowing the animals on the weighing device 16 to walk out through the rear guide channel 2, thus realizing the automatic weighing of livestock.
[0029] When there is livestock excrement on the mesh plate 14, the multi-stage hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the push plate 18 to move into the weighing channel 1, so that the excrement falls from the mesh on the mesh plate 14 into the collection tank 13. At the same time, the water pump 31 delivers water from the water storage tank 32 to multiple nozzles 19. The nozzles 19 spray water onto the livestock's feet, which can wash away the excrement stuck to the feet and make the excrement fall quickly into the collection tank 13. This can realize the automatic cleaning of the mesh plate 14 and the livestock's feet, reduce the error of the livestock weighing caused by excrement. At the same time, the push plate 18 and the nozzles 19 can also clean the weighing device 16.
[0030] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 5The guide channel 2 includes ramps 21, both ramps 21 are detachably connected to the base 11, the top surfaces of both ramps 21 are processed with anti-slip textures, and fences 22 are detachably connected to both sides of the top of the two ramps 21. The fences 22 are used to protect the sides of the ramps 21, so that livestock can only enter from the front of the ramps 21, and the distance between the two fences 22 can only accommodate one animal, so that the livestock can enter the weighing channel 1 in sequence.
[0031] Furthermore, a spray gun 23 for storing paint is provided above the ramp 21 located behind the base 11. The spray gun 23 is connected to a high-pressure pump 24, which is a Speck-Pumpsin-VBF4-260. An electric push rod 25 is connected to the spray gun 23. The electric push rod 25 and the electric push rod 6 are of the same model. The electric push rod 25 is connected to two fences 22 through a bracket. When the weighing device 16 weighs the livestock and the weight is within the set range, the spray gun 23 does not spray paint to mark it. Conversely, when the weighing of the livestock is outside the set range, the electric push rod 25 drives the spray gun 23 to move down. The high-pressure pump 24 provides power to the spray gun 23, and the spray gun 23 can spray the stored paint on the livestock to mark it, which is convenient for the staff to manage the livestock that do not meet the weight requirements.
[0032] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
