[0002] Measuring the growth changes of cattle is a core means for modern animal husbandry to achieve scientific breeding, precise management, health early warning, and sustainable development. By tracking key indicators such as body height, body length, and chest circumference at high frequencies, it is possible to tap into superior genetic potential, dynamically regulate nutrient supply, provide early warning of disease risks, and optimize slaughter time and feed utilization, thereby increasing the value of breeding stock and reducing feed costs. At the same time, it supports the industry's production performance testing system and carbon emission reduction targets, ultimately promoting the transformation of farms from experience-driven to data-driven, achieving a win-win situation for both economic and ecological benefits.

[0003] Existing devices for measuring changes in cattle growth use scanners and other equipment to acquire data about the cattle. However, installation and disassembly are cumbersome, the fixing methods make it difficult to ensure operational stability, affecting data accuracy, and the data collector's installation and disassembly design is unreasonable, making maintenance and replacement inconvenient.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model provides a device for measuring the growth changes of cattle. By setting up an installation mechanism two, the installation and disassembly of the scanner are made more convenient. When the scanner needs to be installed, simply slide the installation cylinder along the installation column to the appropriate position, and the locking block two will automatically pop out and lock the installation cylinder under the action of the compression spring two, achieving quick fixation. When the scanner needs to be disassembled for maintenance or replacement, simply press the locking block two to overcome the elasticity of the compression spring two to remove it, which greatly saves installation and disassembly time, improves work efficiency, and ensures the stability of the scanner during operation.

During installation, the installation sleeve is aligned with the front side of the installation base and inserted. The locking block automatically pops out under the action of the compression spring to lock the installation sleeve, completing the fixation. This realizes the quick disassembly and installation of the data collector, which facilitates the maintenance and management of the data collector, ensures that the device can continuously and stably collect, organize, store and analyze cattle growth data, and transmit the data to external devices in a timely manner, so that users can view and manage it at any time.

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1-5As shown, a device for measuring the growth changes of cattle includes a base plate 1, a weight detection platform 4 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1, guardrails 3 fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the base plate 1, an installation mechanism 2 6 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the guardrails 3, an installation cylinder 9 slidably connected to the upper part of the installation mechanism 2 6, and a scanner 10 rotatably connected to the upper part of the installation cylinder 9.

[0025] The second installation mechanism 6 includes an installation post 61, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the guardrail 3. An installation cylinder 9 is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the installation post 61. Two locking blocks 62, distributed left and right, are slidably connected to the lower part of the installation post 61. The locking blocks 62 are slidably connected to the lower part of the installation cylinder 9. Limiting plates 63 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two locking blocks 62. A compression spring 64 is fixedly connected between the two limiting plates 63. The opposite sides of the two locking blocks 62 are inclined downwards.

[0026] It should be noted that the base plate 1, as the fundamental support structure of the entire device, provides a stable mounting platform for other components, ensuring the device remains stable during measurement and preventing swaying from affecting measurement accuracy. The weight detection platform 4 is used to accurately measure the weight of cattle. Through its built-in high-precision sensor, it can acquire the weight data of cattle in real time and accurately, providing key indicators for analyzing the growth changes of cattle. The guardrail 3 serves as a safety protection, preventing cattle from leaving the device range during measurement, and also provides mounting positions for mounting mechanisms 6 and 5, ensuring the compactness and stability of the device structure. The mounting cylinder 9 serves as the mounting carrier for the scanner 10. Its upper part is rotatably connected to the scanner 10, allowing the scanner 10 to rotate flexibly to scan cattle from different angles and obtain more comprehensive body size data. The scanner 10 scans the body shape of cattle by emitting and receiving light, acquiring body size data such as body length, height, and chest circumference. This data, combined with the weight data measured by the weight detection platform 4, can comprehensively and accurately reflect the growth changes of cattle.

[0027] The scanner 10 in this case can be a SensePlus handheld 3D laser scanner, a model already available in the technology. The scanner 10 transmits the information generated during scanning to the data collector 7 for collection and processing.

[0028] Mounting mechanism 2 6 is used to mount and fix scanner 10. The mounting column 61 in its structure provides sliding support for mounting cylinder 9, which facilitates the disassembly of scanner 10. The locking block 2 62, the limiting plate 63 and the compression spring 2 64 form a buckle structure. When the mounting cylinder 9 slides to the appropriate position, the locking block 2 62 pops out under the action of the compression spring 2 64, locking the mounting cylinder 9 to achieve fixation and ensure the stability of scanner 10 during operation.

[0029] like Figure 2As shown, a mounting mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the middle of the guardrail 3 on the front side, and a data collector 7 is slidably connected to the front side of the mounting mechanism 5.

[0030] It should be noted that the installation mechanism 5 is used to install the data collector 7, providing a stable installation position for the data collector 7 and facilitating its reception of data transmitted from the scanner 10 and the weight detection platform 4. As the data processing and storage center of the device, the data collector 7 can receive, organize, store, and analyze the body size and weight data of the cattle transmitted from the scanner 10 and the weight detection platform 4. It can also transmit the data to external devices, allowing users to view and manage the cattle's growth data at any time.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the installation mechanism 5 includes a mounting base 51, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the guardrail 3. The mounting base 51 is slidably connected to the left and right sides of the mounting base 51. The two mounting blocks 55 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two mounting blocks 55. The two sliding plates 52 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two sliding plates 52. The upper and lower parts of the sliding plates 52 are slidably connected to the limit rods 53, which are fixedly connected inside the mounting base 51.

[0032] It should be noted that the mounting base 51, as the main structure of the mounting mechanism 5, provides installation space for components such as the locking block 55 and the sliding plate 52. The locking block 55 is used to lock the mounting sleeve 81 in the disassembly mechanism 8 of the data collector 7, thereby fixing the data collector 7 and preventing it from falling off during operation. The sliding plate 52, under the action of the compression spring 54, can drive the locking block 55 to slide, realizing the telescopic function of the locking block 55, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the data collector 7. The compression spring 54 provides elasticity to the sliding plate 52, so that the locking block 55 is in the extended state in its natural state, which can lock the mounting sleeve 81; when it is necessary to disassemble the data collector 7, the locking block 55 is retracted by pressing the pressing block 82, and the data collector 7 can be removed. The limiting rod 53 plays a limiting role, preventing the sliding plate 52 from deviating during sliding, and ensuring that the telescopic movement of the locking block 55 is smooth and accurate.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, a disassembly mechanism 8 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the data collector 7. The disassembly mechanism 8 includes a mounting sleeve 81, which is slidably connected to the front side of the mounting base 51. Two extrusion plates 85 are slidably connected to the middle of the mounting sleeve 81. A connecting rod 83 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two extrusion plates 85. A pressing block 82 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting rod 83 away from the extrusion plate 85.

[0034] It should be noted that the disassembly mechanism 8 is used to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the data collector 7. By pressing the pressing block 82, the squeezing plate 85 can squeeze the locking block 55, causing the locking block 55 to retract, thereby releasing the latch on the mounting sleeve 81 and realizing the quick disassembly of the data collector 7. The mounting sleeve 81 cooperates with the locking block 55 to fix the data collector 7, and its structure is adapted to the mounting base 51 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the installation. The squeezing plate 85 moves inward, squeezing the locking block 55, causing the locking block 55 to retract, thereby realizing the disassembly of the data collector 7. The connecting rod 83 transmits the pressing action of the pressing block 82 to the squeezing plate 85, so that the squeezing plate 85 can accurately squeeze the locking block 55. The pressing block 82 serves as an operating component; the user can trigger the operation of the disassembly mechanism 8 by pressing the pressing block 82.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, a compression spring 84 is fixedly connected to the side of the pressing block 82 near the connecting rod 83, and the compression spring 84 is slidably sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting rod 83.

[0036] It should be noted that the compression spring 84 provides restoring force. When the pressing block 82 is pressed, the compression spring 84 is compressed, generating elastic force. When the pressing block 82 is released, the elastic force of the compression spring 84 resets the pressing block 82 and simultaneously drives the pressing plate 85 back to its initial position, preparing for the next disassembly operation.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, door panels 12 are rotatably connected to both the left and right sides of the base plate 1. A rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the front end of the door panel 12. Two connecting blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the guardrail 3 located on the front side. The rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected inside the connecting blocks 13. A spring-loaded spring 16 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 15.

[0038] It should be noted that the gate panel 12 is used to control the entry and exit of cattle. When the gate panel 12 is open, cattle can enter the device for measurement; after the measurement is completed, the gate panel 12 closes to prevent cattle from leaving the device area at will. The rotating shaft 15 provides support for the rotation of the gate panel 12, allowing the gate panel 12 to open and close flexibly. The connecting block 13 is used to install the rotating shaft 15, ensuring the stable rotation of the rotating shaft 15, thereby ensuring the normal opening and closing of the gate panel 12. When the gate panel 12 is opened, the spring spring 16 is twisted, generating elastic force; when the gate panel 12 is released, the elastic force of the spring spring 16 causes the gate panel 12 to close automatically, improving the ease of use of the device.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a limiting block 11 is fixedly connected to the front side of the guardrail 3 located at the rear, and a rubber pad 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting block 11 near the door panel 12.

[0040] It should be noted that the limiting block 11 is used to restrict the closing position and opening direction of the door panel 12. When the door panel 12 closes, it stops moving upon contact with the limiting block 11, ensuring that the door panel 12 is closed completely and preventing damage to the device from over-closing. The rubber pad 14 acts as a buffer. When the door panel 12 closes and contacts the limiting block 11, the rubber pad 14 can absorb some of the impact force, reducing the collision noise between the door panel 12 and the limiting block 11, while protecting the door panel 12 and the limiting block 11 from damage.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During measurement, when the door panel 12 is opened, the spring 16 is twisted to generate elastic force, allowing the cow to enter the device and stand on the weight detection platform 4. When the door panel 12 is released, the elastic force of the spring 16 causes the door panel 12 to close automatically. The door panel 12 stops when it hits the limit block 11. The rubber pad 14 on the limit block 11 absorbs the impact force, reduces collision noise, and protects the components. The weight detection platform 4 accurately measures the cow's weight data through a built-in high-precision sensor. The scanner 10, mounted on the mounting cylinder 9 of the second mounting mechanism 6, scans the cow's body shape by emitting and receiving light, acquiring body size data such as body length, height, and chest circumference. The data collector 7 receives... The scanner 10 and the weight detection platform 4 transmit body size and weight data, which are then organized, stored, and analyzed. When the data collector 7 needs to be disassembled, pressing the pressing block 82 compresses the compression spring 84, and the connecting rod 83 transmits the pressing action to the squeezing plate 85. The squeezing plate 85 squeezes the locking block 55 to retract it, releasing the latch on the mounting sleeve 81, allowing the data collector 7 to be removed. When installing the scanner 10, the mounting cylinder 9 is slid. The latching structure composed of the locking block 62, the limiting plate 63, and the compression spring 64 causes the locking block 62 to pop out under the action of the compression spring 64 when the mounting cylinder 9 slides to the appropriate position, thus fixing the mounting cylinder 9.

[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
