[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a specific posture.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 A channel-type detection device for collecting gait data of poultry includes a walking channel 100, a fixing block 200, an attraction component 300, a camera 400, and an infrared sensor 500. The walking channel 100 includes a frame 101 and a walking belt 102 disposed on the frame 101. The walking belt 102 is used for poultry to walk in order to collect their gait information. The surface of the walking belt 102 has a certain friction to prevent poultry from slipping while walking and to ensure the safety of poultry walking. The frame 101 is equipped with a drive component, and the walking belt 102 is driven to operate by the drive component.

[0021] An attraction component 300 is disposed on one side of the walking path 100 to lure poultry onto the walking belt 102. The attraction component 300 includes a feeder 301 and a feed trough 305. The feed trough 305 is located directly below the feeder 301. A discharge pipe 303 is provided at the discharge port at the bottom of the feeder 301, and the bottom of the discharge pipe 303 extends into the interior of the feed trough 305. When poultry walk to the edge of the feeding trough 305 and peck at the food in the trough 305, the amount of food in the trough will decrease. The food in the feeder 301 will fall naturally under the action of gravity to replenish the feeding trough 305. When the amount of food in the feeding trough 305 reaches a certain level, the resistance to the falling food in the feeder 301 will be balanced with the weight of the food itself, and the food will stop falling, thus avoiding spillage.

[0022] A camera 400 is positioned above the attraction component 300 to acquire image information of poultry walking on the walking belt 102. The camera 400 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing block 200 and is positioned to face the walking belt 102.

[0023] This application uses the attraction component 300 to place food into the feeder 301. The food in the feeder 301 will fall naturally under the action of gravity to replenish the feeding trough 305. The food is used to entice poultry to actively walk onto the walking belt 102 and to carry out regular and continuous walking movements in the walking channel 100. The camera 400 can comprehensively collect the gait information of the poultry while walking, providing a reliable basis for farmers to accurately assess the health status of the poultry.

[0024] The camera 400 can be connected to a computer or a specialized image processing system to process and analyze the acquired image information in real time through image recognition and analysis algorithms. For example, it can automatically identify the walking trajectory of poultry and analyze the symmetry of their gait, thereby providing farmers with more detailed and accurate gait assessment reports.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the fixing block 200 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner side of the frame 101, and the feeder 301 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 200 through the mounting bracket 304, which facilitates the installation and fixing of the feeder 301.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the feeder 301 is equipped with a transparent window 302, which allows poultry to observe the food inside the feeder 301, thereby enhancing the attraction effect and facilitating the operator's observation of the remaining food. The top of the feeder 301 is open to facilitate the addition of food.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the infrared sensor 500 is installed at the entrance of the pedestrian walkway 100 to detect whether poultry have entered the pedestrian walkway 100.

[0028] In this embodiment, the channel-type detection device also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the camera 400, the infrared sensor 500, and the drive component for driving the walking belt 102. The controller controls the opening or closing of the drive component of the walking belt 102 based on the infrared sensor 500 sensing signal and / or the image information acquired by the camera 400, thereby controlling the movement or stopping of the walking belt 102.

[0029] When the infrared sensor 500 detects that poultry have entered the walking path 100, the controller will immediately activate the drive component of the walking belt 102 to start the walking belt 102 and guide the poultry to walk on the walking belt 102; when the infrared sensor 500 detects that the poultry have left the walking path 100, the controller will control the drive component of the walking belt 102 to stop operating.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the channel-type detection device also includes an adjustment component 600, which is used to adjust the tilt angle of the pedestrian channel 100. The adjustment component 600 includes a support frame 601, on which a through adjustment groove 602 is vertically provided. Threaded rods 603 are fixedly connected to both sides of the frame 101. One end of the threaded rod 603 passes through the adjustment groove 602 and extends to the outside of the support frame 601. A locking nut 604 is threaded onto one end of the threaded rod 603, and one end of the locking nut 604 abuts against the outside of the support frame 601. By rotating the locking nut 604, the threaded rod 603 moves up and down within the adjustment groove 602, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the frame 101. After adjusting to a suitable tilt angle, the locking nut 604 is rotated again, so that the locking nut 604 tightly abuts against the outside of the support frame 601, fixing the frame 101 in the adjusted position.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, guardrails 700 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the frame 101. The guardrails 700 prevent poultry from running out from the side of the walkway 102. An infrared sensor 500 is fixedly connected to the guardrail 700. The guardrail 700 and the frame 101 are detachably connected. For example, if there is a socket on the top of the frame 101, the guardrail 700 is inserted into the socket when in use; when not in use, the guardrail 700 can be removed.

[0032] This channel-type detection device can be used in conjunction with leg bands. The leg bands with identification information are worn on the feet of poultry. When the poultry walk on the walking belt 102, the camera 400 collects images while the leg band identification helps to identify each poultry. Combined with gait analysis, it provides farmers with a more accurate individual health assessment.
