Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically to an intelligent cattle weighing device. Background Technology

[0002] Weighing helps monitor the growth and development of cattle, providing guidance for feeding and management. Weighing data allows for adjustments to feed rations, ensuring cattle receive adequate nutrition while avoiding waste. Cattle weight directly impacts farmers' economic benefits; accurate weighing helps assess a cattle's market value.

[0003] Considering that multiple weighing devices are needed when weighing a large number of cattle, it is necessary to ensure that the cattle enter the weighing device one by one. If multiple cattle enter at the same time, it may lead to inaccurate measurements. Although the space of the weighing device can be narrowed so that only one cattle can enter at a time, the cattle entering later may push the cattle in front, which will not only reduce the passage efficiency, but may also cause the cattle in front to be squeezed by the gate, which may result in injury. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent cattle weighing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is an intelligent cattle weighing device, comprising eight gateposts, which are arranged in groups of four. Multiple side rails are fixedly connected between every two distant gateposts in each group. A first upper beam is fixedly connected to the top of every two close gateposts in each group. Each gatepost is connected to a gate body. A first scanning head is fixedly connected to the bottom of each first upper beam, and all first scanning heads face the same direction. An opening and closing unit is fixedly connected to one side of the two central gateposts. A waiting rail is fixedly connected to one side of each of the gateposts on either side. A merging rail is fixedly connected to the end of the waiting rail furthest from the gatepost. An entry rail is fixedly connected to the end of the merging rail furthest from the waiting rail. A blocking unit is symmetrically fixedly connected to the middle of the entry rail.

[0007] The opening and closing unit includes a separation bar, a base is fixedly connected to the side of the separation bar away from the gatepost, a drive motor is fixedly connected to the top of the base, a rotating column is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, the rotating column is rotatably connected to the separation bar, and the opening and closing bar is fixedly connected to the rotating column.

[0008] Furthermore, a ball is rotatably connected to the end of the opening and closing gate that is in contact with the ground.

[0009] Furthermore, the blocking unit includes a fixing block, which is fixedly connected to the entry bar. A sliding groove is provided at one end of the fixing block that is close to the entry bar, and a sliding plate is slidably connected in the sliding groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a return spring is fixedly connected inside the sliding groove, and the end of the return spring away from the sliding groove is fixedly connected to the sliding plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the sliding plate is made of metal, and a magnet is fixedly connected to the end of the opening and closing rail away from the rotating column.

[0012] Furthermore, a second upper beam is fixedly connected to the top of the entry bar, and a second scanning head is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second upper beam near the top.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model can control the direction of cattle movement by changing the direction of the opening and closing pen, and ensure that there is one cow in both the weighing equipment and the waiting pen, thereby increasing weighing efficiency. When a cow enters the waiting pen, the opening and closing pen will be placed in the middle of the entry pen. When the opening and closing pen is placed in the middle of the entry pen, the space for passage is small, and the cow will stop in place, thus preventing subsequent cows from entering the waiting pen again, and preventing the weighing equipment from having two cows enter at the same time.

[0015] 2. In this invention, the sliding plate is made of metal, and a magnet is fixed at the end of the opening and closing pen away from the rotating column. When the opening and closing pen is in the middle of the entry pen, it will attract the sliding plates on both sides. When the sliding plates are moved outward by the magnetic force, it will prevent the cattle from moving. After the cattle in the waiting pen enter the weighing equipment, the opening and closing pen will rotate to the other side and cause the sliding plates to lose their attraction. At this time, the sliding plates will return to the sliding groove under the return force of the return spring, thus leaving a path for the cattle to move. The cattle can then enter the waiting pen to wait. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model is an intelligent cattle weighing device, including eight gateposts 1, which are grouped into groups of four. Multiple side rails 11 are fixedly connected between every two distant gateposts 1 in each group. A first upper beam 12 is fixedly connected to the top of every two close gateposts 1 in each group. Each gatepost 1 is connected to a gate body 13. A first scanning head 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the first upper beams 12, and all first scanning heads 14 face the same direction. An opening and closing unit 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the two central gateposts 1. A waiting bar 15 is fixedly connected to one side of each gatepost 1 on both sides. A merging bar is fixedly connected to the end of the waiting bar 15 away from the gatepost 1. An entry bar 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the merging bar away from the waiting bar 15. A blocking unit 3 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the middle of the entry bar 16.

[0025] The opening and closing unit 2 includes a separation bar 21. A base is fixedly connected to the side of the separation bar 21 away from the door post 1. A drive motor 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the base. A rotating column 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 22. The rotating column 23 is rotatably connected to the separation bar 21. An opening and closing bar 24 is fixedly connected to the rotating column 23.

[0026] In this embodiment, considering that multiple weighing devices are needed when weighing a large number of cattle, it is necessary to ensure that the cattle enter the weighing device one by one during the weighing process. If multiple cattle enter at the same time, it may lead to inaccurate measurement. Although the space of the weighing device can be narrowed so that only one cattle can enter at a time, the cattle that enter later may push the cattle in front, which will not only reduce the passage efficiency, but may also cause the cattle in front to be squeezed by the gate 13, which may cause the cattle to be squeezed and injured.

[0027] When weighing cattle, they are first allowed to enter the entry pen 16 one by one. After the cattle enter, the drive motor 22 is started, which drives the rotating column 23 to rotate. When the rotating column 23 rotates, the opening and closing pen 24 rotates around the rotating column 23. When the opening and closing column is tilted to one side, the passage on that side is closed. When the cattle cannot move from this side, they will move to the other side and enter the waiting pen 15. If there are no cattle in the weighing equipment, the door 13 will be opened to allow the cattle in the waiting pen 15 to enter. When the cattle enter the weighing pen... After the weighing equipment is installed, the cows will be weighed. At this time, the direction of the cows' movement can be controlled by changing the direction of the opening and closing pen 24, so that there is one cow in both the weighing equipment and the waiting pen 15, thereby increasing the weighing efficiency. When the cows enter the waiting pen 15, the opening and closing pen 24 will be placed in the middle of the entry pen 16. When the opening and closing pen 24 is placed in the middle of the entry pen 16, the space for passage is small, and the cows will stop in place. This can prevent subsequent cows from entering the waiting pen 15 again, and can prevent the weighing equipment from having two cows enter at the same time.

[0028] Specifically, a ball bearing 241 is rotatably connected to the end of the opening and closing panel 24 that is in contact with the ground.

[0029] In this embodiment, considering that the opening and closing bar 24 will be in contact with the ground, the back and forth swinging of the opening and closing bar 24 will generate friction with the ground. After long-term use, the opening and closing bar 24 may wear out and become suspended. Since the opening and closing bar 24 is only supported by the ground and the rotating column 23, after the opening and closing bar 24 is suspended, only the rotating column 23 is supported. At this time, the rotating column 23 will be subjected to a large pulling force, which may cause the rotating column 23 to detach from the separation bar 21, thereby causing the opening and closing bar 24 to be unable to perform normal opening and closing operations.

[0030] With the setting of the rolling ball 241, when the opening and closing bar 24 swings back and forth, the rolling ball 241 will contact the ground and rotate at the same time. This can convert the sliding friction force into the rolling friction force. Since the opening and closing bar 24 swings in a fan shape, the use of a traditional roller will cause it to get stuck due to the change of angle. The rolling ball 241 is a sphere, so the rolling ball 241 will not get stuck when the opening and closing bar 24 swings.

[0031] Specifically, the blocking unit 3 includes a fixing block 31, which is fixedly connected to the entry bar 16. A sliding groove is provided at one end of the fixing block 31, and a sliding plate 32 is slidably connected in the sliding groove.

[0032] In this embodiment, considering that the method of blocking only by the opening and closing fence 24 may not be able to stop some cattle, such as cattle with greater strength or smaller size, it may cause the weighing equipment to enter two cattle at the same time, resulting in weighing errors;

[0033] When a cow enters the entry pen 16, the sliding plate 32 is pulled out from the sliding groove of the fixed block 31, and the sides of the cow are blocked by the sliding plate 32. This prevents the cow from entering the waiting pen 15 through the gap between the entry pen 16 and the opening and closing pen 24. After the cow in the waiting pen 15 enters the weighing equipment, the sliding plate 32 can be retracted into the sliding groove. At this time, the opening and closing pen 24 will also rotate and provide a path for the cow to pass through, thereby allowing the cow to enter the waiting pen 15 to wait.

[0034] Specifically, a return spring 33 is fixedly connected inside the sliding groove, and the end of the return spring 33 away from the sliding groove is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 32.

[0035] In this embodiment, by setting the reset spring 33, the sliding plate 32 can be retracted into the sliding groove after the cow in the waiting bar 15 enters the weighing equipment, which can reduce the manpower and time consumed in retracting the sliding plate 32.

[0036] Specifically, the sliding plate 32 is made of metal, and a magnet 242 is fixedly connected to the end of the opening and closing rail 24 away from the rotating column 23.

[0037] In this embodiment, considering the high labor and time costs of manually adjusting the sliding plate 32 and the low degree of automation; since the sliding plate 32 is made of metal, and a magnet 242 is fixed at the end of the opening and closing bar 24 away from the rotating column 23, when the opening and closing bar 24 is in the middle of the entry bar 16, it will attract the sliding plates 32 on both sides. When the sliding plates 32 are moved outward by the magnetic force, it will prevent the cow from moving; when the cow in the waiting bar 15 enters the weighing device, the opening and closing bar 24 will rotate to the other side and cause the sliding plate 32 to lose its attraction. At this time, the sliding plate 32 will return to the sliding groove under the rebound force of the return spring 33, thus leaving a path for the cow to move. At this time, the cow can enter the waiting bar 15 to wait.

[0038] Specifically, a second upper beam 161 is fixedly connected to the top of the entry bar 16, and a second scanning head 162 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second upper beam 161 near the top.

[0039] In this embodiment, the second scanning head 162 can scan the identification code of the cattle when they enter the entry pen 16, and can classify them according to breed, age and feeding time. When a group of weighed cattle is mixed with an unweighed herd, the second scanning head 162 can scan them. When a weighed cattle is encountered, the door 13 of the weighing equipment on one side can be fully opened and the cattle can leave the equipment directly to avoid affecting the weighing data.

[0040] When using,

[0041] First, by setting the second scanning head 162, the identification code of the cattle can be scanned when the cattle enter the entry pen 16, and the cattle can be classified according to breed, age and feeding time. When a group of weighed cattle are mixed into the unweighed herd, they can be scanned by the second scanning head 162. When encountering a weighed cattle, the door 13 of the weighing equipment on one side can be fully opened and the cattle can leave the equipment directly to avoid affecting the weighing data.

[0042] Secondly, when weighing cattle, they are first allowed to enter the entry pen 16 one by one. After the cattle enter, the drive motor 22 is started, which drives the rotating column 23 to rotate. When the rotating column 23 rotates, it causes the opening and closing pen 24 to rotate around the rotating column 23. When the opening and closing column is tilted to one side, the passage on that side is closed. When the cattle cannot move from this side, they will move to the other side and enter the waiting pen 15. If there are no cattle in the weighing equipment, the door 13 will be opened to allow the cattle in the waiting pen 15 to enter. After entering the weighing equipment, the cows will be weighed. At this time, the direction of the cows' movement can be controlled by changing the direction of the opening and closing pen 24, so that there is one cow in both the weighing equipment and the waiting pen 15, thereby increasing the weighing efficiency. When the cows enter the waiting pen 15, the opening and closing pen 24 will be placed in the middle of the entry pen 16. When the opening and closing pen 24 is placed in the middle of the entry pen 16, the space for passage is small, and the cows will stop in place. This can prevent subsequent cows from entering the waiting pen 15 again, and can prevent the weighing equipment from having two cows enter at the same time.

[0043] With the setting of the rolling ball 241, when the opening and closing bar 24 swings back and forth, the rolling ball 241 will contact the ground and rotate at the same time. This can convert the sliding friction force into the rolling friction force. Since the opening and closing bar 24 swings in a fan shape, the use of a traditional roller will cause it to get stuck due to the change of angle. The rolling ball 241 is a sphere, so the rolling ball 241 will not get stuck when the opening and closing bar 24 swings.

[0044] Finally, when the cattle enter the entry pen 16, the sliding plate 32 is pulled out from the sliding groove of the fixed block 31, and the sides of the cattle are blocked by the sliding plate 32. This prevents the cattle from entering the waiting pen 15 through the gap between the entry pen 16 and the opening and closing pen 24. After the cattle in the waiting pen 15 enter the weighing equipment, the sliding plate 32 can be retracted into the sliding groove. At this time, the opening and closing pen 24 will also rotate and provide a path for the cattle to pass through, thereby allowing the cattle to enter the waiting pen 15 to wait.

[0045] By setting the return spring 33, the sliding plate 32 can be retracted into the sliding groove after the cow in the waiting bar 15 enters the weighing equipment, which can reduce the manpower and time consumed in retracting the sliding plate 32.

[0046] Since the sliding plate 32 is made of metal, and a magnet 242 is fixed at the end of the opening and closing bar 24 away from the rotating column 23, when the opening and closing bar 24 is in the middle of the entry bar 16, it will attract the sliding plates 32 on both sides. When the sliding plates 32 are moved outward by the magnetic force, it will prevent the cattle from moving. When the cattle in the waiting bar 15 enter the weighing equipment, the opening and closing bar 24 will rotate to the other side and make the sliding plate 32 lose its attraction. At this time, the sliding plate 32 will return to the sliding groove under the rebound force of the return spring 33, thus leaving a path for the cattle to move. At this time, the cattle can enter the waiting bar 15 to wait.
