Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a track device, and more particularly to a track assembly and a livestock and poultry vital sign collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Intensive farming has become a trend in modern agriculture, placing extremely high demands on the meticulous management of the production process, particularly the need for continuous real-time monitoring of the farming environment and livestock health. Traditional methods such as fixed cameras or manual inspections suffer from blind spots, low efficiency, and high biosecurity risks.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as patent CN115981315A, a track-based intelligent inspection robot is disclosed, which achieves automated inspection by setting up a circular track above the pigpen and a mobile robot. This solution solves the problems of ground debris interference and automation to a certain extent. However, this technology still has obvious drawbacks: its tracks are mostly rigid structures that are integrally formed or simply connected, making installation cumbersome and difficult to flexibly adjust the inspection range and path according to the actual site layout. Moreover, the overall system has a low level of intelligence, with the track only serving as a passive support and poor functional expandability. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a cruise trajectory monitoring device that can achieve:

[0005] 1. The flexible layout allows for the differentiation of key inspection areas based on the specific conditions of the farm;

[0006] 2. The mortise and tenon joint design enables convenient assembly and disassembly.

[0007] This utility model relates to a track assembly and a cruise track monitoring device, which includes:

[0008] A track assembly includes a node and a guide rail. The node is connected to the guide rail by a mortise and tenon joint, and the node and guide rail are connected by bolts at the joint. The node is provided with a first connector, the lower end of which is connected to the node and the upper end of which is connected to the roof, for fixing the position of the node.

[0009] Preferably, the node is connected to the guide rail by means of mortise and tenon joint and hidden tenon connection, and further tightened by bolts at the joint to form a stable and reliable modular grid structure.

[0010] This utility model adopts a modular node and guide rail design. Through standardized mortise and tenon interfaces, it can be quickly spliced ​​into straight lines, right angles, cross shapes, grid shapes, or even more complex grid-like track networks according to the actual layout of the breeding farm, so as to achieve no dead angle coverage of all key areas.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, each of the four sides of the node is provided with two sets of tenons and mortises, A and B. The upper part of the front and rear sides of the A set is provided with a tenon A1 and a mortis A1, and the tenon A1 is provided with a screw hole; the upper part of the left and right sides of the B set is provided with a tenon B1 and a mortis B1, and the mortis B1 is provided with a screw hole.

[0012] The node has a track steering wheel on its inner top surface, a node track groove at the node, and the node track groove is aligned with the track groove on the steering wheel. The node has a gear set inside, and the guide rail has a guide rail groove inside, which is aligned with the node track groove at the node.

[0013] The guide rail has two sets of tenons and mortises, C and D, at both ends. The upper end of end C has a C1 tenon and a C1 mortis, with a screw hole in the C1 mortis. The upper end of end D has a D1 tenon and a D1 mortis, with a screw hole in the D1 tenon. After the joint is connected to the guide rail, it is fixed with bolts at the screw holes.

[0014] In this utility model, the tenon and guide rail are designed with mortise and tenon joints. The tenon is inserted into the corresponding mortise and tenon, and then bolts are used to reinforce it to complete the splicing, thus achieving convenient assembly and disassembly.

[0015] Preferably, the gear set includes a servo motor, a battery pack, a steering gear, a transmission gear set, and a track steering wheel. The servo motor drives the steering gear, which meshes perpendicularly with the transmission gear set. The transmission gear set ultimately drives the track steering wheel gear to rotate, thereby achieving power transmission and directional control. A circular array bearing is provided below the steering wheel gear for load-bearing and ensuring smooth rotation.

[0016] In this invention, the steering wheel is driven by a servo motor and gear set integrated inside the node, actively controlling the direction of travel of the pod. This completely eliminates the need for traditional friction steering, avoiding wear and tear, resulting in smoother, more precise, and quieter steering, and a longer service life.

[0017] Preferably, the pod includes a motion device, a control device, and an observation device. The motion device is connected to the control device via a second connector. The top of the motion device has two sets of track wheels and a first limiting wheel for movement within the track groove and to prevent derailment. A set of steering wheels is located on both sides of the motion device, and a second limiting wheel is located at the connection point between the steering wheels and the side. When the steering wheels turn within the node, the second limiting wheel restricts the direction and angle of rotation to assist the pod in turning and prevent the pod from falling.

[0018] The rotating system is connected to the observation device through rotating components, enabling the observation device to rotate 360° left and right and 270° forward and backward, expanding the monitoring field of view and achieving comprehensive monitoring of poultry and livestock.

[0029] To further understand the content of this invention, a detailed description of the invention will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are merely illustrative and not limiting of the invention.

[0030] Example:

[0031] Example 1

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, node 1 serves as a connecting hub and is fixed to the steel frame of the factory roof via the first connector 103 at its top. Node 1 has two sets of tenons and mortises, A and B, on each of its four sides (front, back, left, and right). The upper A set on the front and back sides has a tenon 104 and a mortise 105, with the tenon 104 having a screw hole. The upper B set on the left and right sides has a tenon 106 and a mortise 107, with the mortise 107 having a screw hole.

[0033] The node 1 has a track steering wheel 101 on its inner top surface, a node track groove 102 at the node, the node track groove 102 is aligned with the track groove on the steering wheel 101, and a gear set 4 is provided inside the node 1.

[0034] The guide rail 2 has a guide rail groove 204 inside, which is aligned with the node groove 102 at the node.

[0035] The guide rail 2 has two sets of tenons and mortises, C and D, at both ends. The upper end of end C has a C1 tenon 202 and a C1 mortis 203, and the C1 mortis 203 has a screw hole. The upper end of end D has a D1 tenon 206 and a D1 mortis 205, and the D1 tenon 206 has a screw hole.

[0036] During operation, multiple guide rails 2 are connected to the four-sided interfaces of node 1 via the C and D sets of tenons and mortises at both ends. The connection method is as follows: the tenon 104 of the upper node A1 is inserted into the mortise 203 of the guide rail C1, and the tenon 202 of the guide rail C1 is inserted into the mortise 105 of the guide rail; the tenon 108 and mortise 109 of the lower node A2 are fitted with the tenons and mortises at the lower end of the C surface of the guide rail, the B surface of the node can be fitted with the D surface of the guide rail, and the guide rails can also be connected by fitting the CD surfaces together. Finally, the guide rails are secured by bolts 201 passing through the corresponding screw holes.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, node 1 is its core functional unit. Internally, it includes a gear set 4, which comprises a servo motor 401, a battery pack 410, a steering gear 402, a transmission gear set 403, and a track steering wheel 101. The servo motor 401 drives the steering gear 402, which intersects perpendicularly with the transmission gear set 403. The transmission gear set 403 intersects with the gears of the steering wheel 101. A circular array bearing 404 is located below the gears of the steering wheel 101. Upon receiving a command, the internal servo motor 401 starts, driving the steering gear 402 and the transmission gear set 403, ultimately rotating the track steering wheel 101 by a specific angle.

[0038] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the pod 3 cruises on the track. The top of the pod 3's motion device is equipped with two sets of track wheels 305 and a first limiting wheel 306; the sides of the pod's motion device 301 are equipped with a set of steering wheels 307, and a second limiting wheel 308 is located at the connection point between the steering wheels 307 and the side of the motion device 301. When the track wheels 305 on the top of the motion device 301 reach the node, they engage with the pre-adjusted track steering wheel 101. The rotational movement of the steering wheel 101 forces the steering wheels 307 of the pod to change direction, thereby guiding the entire pod into the preset track branch. During this process, the steering wheels 307 and the second limiting wheel 308 constantly restrain the pod, preventing it from derailing.

[0039] The pod's motion device 301 is connected to the control device 310 via a second connector 302. Below the control device 310 is a rotation system 304, which is connected to the observation device 303 via a rotating component 309. Driven by the rotation system 304, the acquisition component 303 below the pod can perform omnidirectional scanning and monitoring of the area below, and the data is transmitted back to the backend in real time via the control device 310.

[0040] The installation process of this utility model demonstrates its advantages: Construction workers only need to first determine the node positions on the roof, suspend and fix node 1, and then, like "building blocks," align the tenons of the guide rail 2 with the mortises of node 1 and insert them. After initial positioning, tightening the bolts completes the installation of a section of the track, resulting in extremely high efficiency and minimal error. In one application scenario of this embodiment, for example, with point O as the starting point, areas X and Y being the more important feeding and birthing areas, and areas P and Q being the less important washing and excretion areas, this utility model can be assembled according to the importance and site layout to form... Figure 8 The grid track shown.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 9 As shown, the data acquisition component 303 includes a visual camera 3031, a temperature and humidity sensor 3032, an ammonia concentration sensor 3033, a sound sensor 3034, and an infrared temperature measurement module 3035, all of which are connected to the control device 310 via electrical conductors. The data acquisition component can simultaneously collect physiological parameters (body temperature, activity level) and environmental data, improving the accuracy of health early warnings; reducing stress on livestock and poultry, and meeting animal welfare requirements.

[0043] The inclusion of data collection components can significantly reduce the cost of manual inspections, detect early signs of disease, and provide data support for precision feeding and scientific management. It is suitable for intensive farms of pigs, chickens, cattle, etc.

[0044] It is readily understood that those skilled in the art can combine, split, or reorganize the embodiments provided in this application to obtain other embodiments, none of which exceed the protection scope of this application.

[0045] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the patent of the present utility model.
