[0035] 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.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic mink length measuring vehicle, comprising a frame 1, a support platform 2, and a power supply 3. The support platform 2 is connected to the middle of the bottom end of the frame 1, and the power supply 3 is installed on one side of the top end of the support platform 2. A wheel axle 4 is rotatably connected to one side of the bottom end of the frame 1, and wheel tires 5 are mated to both sides of the outer wall of the wheel axle 4. A measuring cylinder base 7 is fixedly connected to both sides of the top end of the frame 1. A male measuring cylinder 8 is connected to one side of the top end of the measuring cylinder base 7, and a female measuring cylinder 9 is connected to the other side of the top end of the measuring cylinder base 7. The inner walls of both the male and female measuring cylinders 8 and 9 are coated with a matte anti-slip coating. A fixed seat 6 is connected to the middle of the outer wall of the frame 1 away from the power supply 3, and a traction rod is connected inside the fixed seat 6. 16; The male measuring cylinder 8 and the female measuring cylinder 9 are hollow cylindrical structures, and a cylindrical cover 10 is fitted onto one side of the outer wall of both the male measuring cylinder 8 and the female measuring cylinder 9; an infrared sensing probe is installed inside the cylindrical cover 10, and an operating base frame 11 is connected to the top center of the frame 1 by screws; an operating platform 12 is connected to the top of the outer wall of the operating base frame 11, and the operating base frame 11 and the operating platform 12 form a "U" shape, with the male measuring cylinder 8 and the female measuring cylinder 9 located below the operating platform 12; a measuring switch 13 is connected to one side of the top of the outer wall of the operating platform 12, and a control button 14 is connected to the other side of the top of the operating platform 12; the measuring switch 13 is connected to the infrared sensing probe, and a display 15 is embedded in the top center of the operating platform 12.

[0037] For specific implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Because the frame 1 is connected to the traction rod 16 through the fixed seat 6 in the middle, after the staff holds the traction rod 16 and lifts it, the frame 1 will rotate around the wheel axle 4 as the axis, thereby lifting the side of the frame 1 close to the traction rod 16. Then, the frame 1 is pushed to make the vehicle tire 5 rotate, which in turn helps the staff to push the frame 1 to the designated location in the water shed, thus improving its flexibility of use.

[0038] See Figure 2 and Figure 4Beforehand, the staff moved the mink to the vicinity of the base 7 of the measuring tube. Then, according to the sex of the mink, they placed it into the male measuring tube 8 and the female measuring tube 9, and ensured that the head of the mink was fixed on the top cover 10 of the cylinder, and the tail root was on the left outer edge of the male measuring tube 8 or the female measuring tube 9. At this time, the mink was in a naturally stretched state, and the infrared sensor probe measured the position of the mink's nose tip.

[0039] The infrared sensor is model "Heidenhain 511395-03 length measuring sensor". The infrared measurement technology and related circuit control technology are existing methods and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] Next, the staff member approaches the operating table 12 at the top of the operating base frame 11 with their palm close to the table. The power supply 3 at the top of the support platform 2 is turned on beforehand to provide power. The measuring switch 13 is then turned on to record the mink body length value through the display 15. After the measurement is completed, the control button 14 is pressed to reset the value on the display 15 to zero.

[0041] This design fully considers the biological characteristics of mink. Inside the male measuring tube 8 and the female measuring tube 9, the mink will run forward with force, its body fully extended. Furthermore, the inner walls of the male measuring tube 8 and the female measuring tube 9 are coated with a matte, non-slip coating to reduce stress on the mink. With the mink's tail root positioned on the upper left side of the measuring tube, the infrared probe can accurately measure the front of the mink's head, i.e., its nose. The mink's body length is the distance from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail in its naturally extended state.

[0042] This design takes into account the size differences between male and female mink, allowing users to measure the body length of male and female mink separately according to their gender, thus increasing the flexibility of use. The measuring vehicle can also move quickly within the mink shed, saving measurement time. Furthermore, the infrared automatic measuring device has a simple working principle, a high degree of automation, and accurate measurement values, thereby improving work efficiency. It also allows operators to have zero contact with the mink's snout, preventing operators from being bitten by the mink's teeth and improving safety.

[0043] See Figures 5-8 A slide rail 17 is welded to the top center of the support platform 2, and a protective cover 18 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail 17; a fixing pin 19 is slidably connected to the bottom of the protective cover 18, and a positioning plate 20 is connected to the top of the outer wall of the fixing pin 19. The positioning plate 20 and the fixing pin 19 form a "U" shape. A threaded groove is opened at the bottom of the outer wall of the fixing pin 19, and a threaded cylinder 21 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the fixing pin 19. A limit hole is opened inside the support platform 2, and the fixing pin 19 extends into it.

[0044] In practice, since the slide rail 17 and the protective cover 18 are slidably connected, the protective cover 18 is first manually pushed to cover the power supply 3. Then, the positioning plate 20 is moved so that the fixing pin 19 passes through the bottom of the protective cover 18 and the support platform 2, thereby limiting the protective cover 18 to prevent it from moving horizontally. Then, the threaded cylinder 21 is rotated to connect with the fixing pin 19. At this time, the fixing pin 19 and the threaded cylinder 21 are threadedly connected, thereby fixing the protective cover 18 to prevent it from moving longitudinally. Thus, the protective cover 18 protects the power supply 3 and prevents it from colliding with debris in the factory and causing damage, thereby improving the stability of the mink body length measuring vehicle. Afterward, it is only necessary to push the protective cover 18 to move it closer to the traction rod 16, thereby revealing the power supply 3, which makes it convenient for staff to protect and maintain the power supply 3.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
