Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ruminant data acquisition equipment, specifically to a ruminant enclosure activity behavior data acquisition device. Background Technology

[0002] Ruminants are animals that ruminate, typically herbivores. Because plant fiber is difficult to digest, ruminants usually eat hastily, especially roughage, swallowing most of it without fully chewing. After soaking and softening in the rumen for a period, the food is regurgitated back into the mouth, chewed again, mixed with saliva, and swallowed back into the rumen. However, in pen-rearing of ruminants, their condition is usually observed through manual inspection, which is cumbersome, labor-intensive, and inconvenient. Therefore, we propose a data collection device for ruminant pen-rearing behavior. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a data acquisition device for the activity behavior of ruminants in their enclosures.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a data acquisition device for the activity behavior of ruminants in a pen, including a pen body. The inner side of the pen body is fitted with a support rail seat by bolts, and an adjustable slide seat is slidably installed on the outer periphery of the rail seat. There are multiple sets of slide seats. The bottom surface of the slide seat is fitted with a support straight seat by bolts, and an adjustable slide plate is slidably installed on the outer periphery of the straight seat. There are multiple sets of slide plates. The bottom surface of the slide plate is fitted with a monitoring device body for ruminant data acquisition.

[0005] The outer circumferential surface of the rail base and the inner side of the straight base are provided with toothed grooves for adjustment, and the inner side of the slide base and the inner side of the slide plate are rotatably mounted with gears that mesh with the toothed grooves. The outer wall surface of the slide base and the outer wall surface of the slide plate are bolted with worm gear reducers that are connected to the gears for transmission, and the power input end of the worm gear reducer is equipped with a servo motor.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of raising ruminants in enclosures, the monitoring device at the bottom of the slide can record the activity trajectory and behavior of ruminants in the enclosures. The system inside the terminal controller can assist personnel in analysis, enabling personnel to monitor the activity and status of ruminants in the enclosures in real time. At the same time, the slide can slide around the outer periphery of the straight seat, and the straight seat can slide and move around the outer periphery of the track seat through the slide, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of multiple monitoring devices. This makes it easier for personnel to use the monitoring devices and reduces blind spot errors during monitoring.

[0007] When the position of the monitor body needs to be adjusted, the servo motor on the outside of the slide can operate, and under the operation of the worm gear reducer, it drives the gear installed inside the slide to rotate. Then, the gear can mesh with the tooth groove on the outer circumference of the rail seat. Under the meshing force, the slide can slide along the rail seat, thus facilitating the adjustment of the position of the straight seat. Subsequently, the servo motor on the outer circumference of the slide plate can operate, and under the operation of the worm gear reducer, it drives the gear inside the slide plate to rotate. This allows the gear to mesh with the tooth groove inside the straight seat. Under the meshing force, the slide plate can slide along the straight seat, thus enabling the slide plate to move the monitor body. The bidirectional adjustment in both directions reduces blind spots during subsequent monitoring of the monitor body. At the same time, the monitor body can use a rotatable and adjustable monitoring probe, which allows for more accurate collection and recording of the activities and behaviors of ruminants, facilitating the observation of ruminant data by personnel.

[0008] Specifically, the outer wall surface of the skateboard is equipped with a controller that is electrically connected to the main body of the monitor, and the outer wall surface of the enclosure is equipped with a power distribution cabinet that is electrically connected to both the controller and the servo motor.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the controller on the outside of the skateboard can conveniently store the data recorded by the main body of the monitor, and at the same time, it can use the Internet to transmit the recorded data to the terminal controller, which makes it convenient for personnel to observe the data of ruminants. The internal structure of the power distribution cabinet facilitates the operation and recording of multiple servo motors and controllers inside the enclosure.

[0010] Specifically, the top surface of the enclosure is fitted with a support frame, and the top surface of the support frame is fitted with a photovoltaic panel electrically connected to the power distribution cabinet, and there are multiple sets of photovoltaic panels.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the frame on the surface of the enclosure can easily support the photovoltaic panels, which can easily convert solar energy into electrical energy. The converted electrical energy can be stored through the battery pack inside the power distribution cabinet, which can assist the operation of the power distribution cabinet, controller, servo motor and monitor, thereby saving energy consumption.

[0012] Specifically, both the outer wall surface of the slide block and the outer wall surface of the slide plate are fitted with a cover located on the outer periphery of the worm gear reducer.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the housing can effectively protect the worm gear reducer and the connection between the servo motor and the worm gear reducer, enabling them to operate more stably.

[0014] Specifically, the outer two side walls of the straight seat are provided with grooves for limiting the position, and the inner circumference of the slide plate is integrally constructed with protrusions that fit the grooves, and there are two sets of protrusions.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the convex strip and the groove fit together and slide together, which facilitates the improvement of the stability of the slide plate when it slides on the outer periphery of the straight seat.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The technical solution of this application, through the design of a track base, a sliding base, a straight base, a sliding plate, and a monitoring unit, enables the monitoring unit at the bottom of the sliding plate to record the activity trajectory and behavior of ruminants in the pen during the breeding of ruminants. Furthermore, the system within the terminal controller assists personnel in analysis, allowing them to monitor the activity and status of ruminants in the pen in real time. Simultaneously, the sliding plate can slide around the outer periphery of the straight base, and the straight base can slide and move around the outer periphery of the track base via the sliding plate, facilitating the adjustment of the positions of multiple monitoring units. This makes it more convenient for personnel to use the monitoring units and reduces blind spot errors during monitoring.

[0018] 2. The technical solution of this application, through the design of toothed grooves, worm gear reducers, servo motors, and gears, enables the servo motor on the outside of the slide to operate when the position of the monitor body needs to be adjusted. Under the operation of the worm gear reducer, the gear installed inside the slide body rotates. Subsequently, the gear meshes with the toothed grooves on the outer periphery of the rail seat, and under the meshing force, the slide body can slide along the rail seat, thus facilitating the adjustment of the position of the straight seat. Then, the servo motor on the outer periphery of the slide plate operates, and under the operation of the worm gear reducer, the gear inside the slide plate rotates, allowing the gear to mesh with the toothed grooves inside the straight seat. Under the meshing force, the slide plate can slide along the straight seat, thus enabling the slide plate to move the monitor body. The bidirectional adjustment in both directions facilitates the reduction of blind spots generated during subsequent monitoring of the monitor body. At the same time, the monitor body can use a rotatable adjustable monitoring probe, enabling more accurate collection and recording of the activity behavior of ruminants, facilitating the observation of ruminant data by personnel.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a data acquisition device for ruminant enclosure activity behavior, including an enclosure body 1. A support rail 2 is bolted to the inner side of the enclosure body 1, and multiple sets of adjustable slide seats 3 are slidably mounted on the outer periphery of the rail 2. A support straight seat 4 is bolted to the bottom surface of the slide seat 3, and multiple sets of adjustable slide plates 6 are slidably mounted on the outer periphery of the straight seat 4. A monitoring device body 10 for ruminant data acquisition is mounted on the bottom surface of the slide plate 6. Adjustable toothed grooves 5 are provided on the outer periphery of the rail 2 and the inner side of the straight seat 4. Gears 9 meshing with the toothed grooves 5 are rotatably mounted on the inner side of the slide seat 3 and the inner side of the slide plate 6. A worm gear reducer 7, which is connected to the gear 9, is bolted to the outer wall surface of the slide seat 3 and the outer wall surface of the slide plate 6. A servo motor 8 is mounted on the power input end of the worm gear reducer 7.

[0027] When in use, during the breeding of ruminants in enclosures, the monitoring body 10 at the bottom of the slide plate 6 can record the activity trajectory and behavior of the ruminants in the enclosures. The system inside the terminal controller can assist personnel in analysis, enabling personnel to monitor the activity and status of the ruminants in the enclosures in real time. At the same time, the slide plate 6 can slide around the outer periphery of the straight seat 4, and the straight seat 4 can slide and move around the outer periphery of the track seat 2 via the slide seat 3, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of multiple monitoring bodies 10. This makes it easier for personnel to use the monitoring bodies 10 and reduces blind spot errors during monitoring.

[0028] When the position of the monitor body 10 needs to be adjusted, the servo motor 8 on the outside of the slide 3 can operate, and under the operation of the worm gear reducer 7, the gear 9 installed inside the slide 3 can rotate. Then, the gear 9 can mesh with the tooth groove 5 on the outer periphery of the rail seat 2. Under the meshing force, the slide 3 can slide along the rail seat 2, thus facilitating the adjustment of the position of the straight seat 4. Then, the servo motor 8 on the outer periphery of the slide plate 6 can operate, and under the operation of the worm gear reducer 7, the gear 9 inside the slide plate 6 can rotate, so that the gear 9 can mesh with the tooth groove 5 inside the straight seat 4. Under the meshing force, the slide plate 6 can slide along the straight seat 4, thus enabling the slide plate 6 to move the monitor body 10. The bidirectional adjustment in both directions reduces the blind spots generated when the monitor body 10 is shooting. At the same time, the monitor body 10 can use a rotatable adjustable monitoring probe, so that the activity behavior of ruminants can be collected and recorded more accurately, facilitating the observation of ruminant data by personnel.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall surface of the skateboard 6 is equipped with a controller 11 that is electrically connected to the main body of the monitor 10, and the outer wall surface of the enclosure 1 is equipped with a power distribution cabinet 12 that is electrically connected to both the controller 11 and the servo motor 8.

[0030] When in use, the controller 11 on the outside of the skateboard 6 can temporarily store the data recorded by the main body of the monitor 10, and can also transmit the recorded data to the terminal controller via the Internet, so that personnel can observe the data of ruminants. The internal structure of the power distribution cabinet 12 facilitates the operation and recording of the multiple servo motors 8 and controllers 11 inside the enclosure 1.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the top surface of the enclosure 1 is fitted with a support frame 13, and the top surface of the support frame 13 is fitted with a photovoltaic panel 14 that is electrically connected to the power distribution cabinet 12, and there are multiple sets of photovoltaic panels 14.

[0032] When in use, the frame 13 on the surface of the enclosure 1 can easily support the photovoltaic panel 14, which can easily convert solar energy into electrical energy and store the converted electrical energy through the battery pack inside the power distribution cabinet 12. This facilitates the operation of the power distribution cabinet 12, controller 11, servo motor 8 and monitor body 10, thereby saving energy consumption.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, both the outer wall surface of the slide block 3 and the outer wall surface of the slide plate 6 are fitted with a housing 15 located on the outer periphery of the worm gear reducer 7.

[0034] During use, the housing 15 provides convenient protection for the worm gear reducer 7 and the connection between the servo motor 8 and the worm gear reducer 7, enabling them to operate more stably.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, grooves 17 for limiting are provided on both sides of the outer periphery of the straight seat 4, and the inner periphery of the slide plate 6 is integrally constructed with protrusions 16 that fit the grooves 17, and there are two sets of protrusions 16.

[0036] In use, the protrusion 16 and the groove 17 fit together and slide together, which helps to improve the stability of the slide plate 6 when it slides on the outer periphery of the straight seat 4.

[0037] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, first, install the corresponding structural components in suitable positions. During the raising of ruminants in enclosures, the monitoring unit 10 at the bottom of the sliding plate 6 can record the activity trajectory and behavior of the ruminants in the enclosure. Furthermore, the system within the terminal controller can assist personnel in analysis, allowing them to monitor the activity and status of the ruminants in the enclosure in real time. Additionally, 3D vision systems or spectral emission systems can be used to further analyze the ruminant activity, enabling personnel to more accurately... The system detects the state of ruminants, and the slide plate 6 can slide around the outer periphery of the straight seat 4. The straight seat 4 can slide and move around the outer periphery of the rail seat 2 via the slide block 3, facilitating the adjustment of the position of multiple monitor bodies 10. This makes it easier for personnel to use the monitor bodies 10 and reduces blind spot errors during monitoring. When the position of the monitor body 10 needs to be adjusted, the servo motor 8 on the outside of the slide block 3 operates, and under the operation of the worm gear reducer 7, it drives the gear 9 installed inside the slide block 3 to rotate. Then, the gear 9 easily meshes with the tooth groove 5 on the outer periphery of the rail seat 2. Under the meshing force, the slide block 3 can slide along the rail 2, thus facilitating the adjustment of the position of the straight seat 4. Subsequently, the servo motor 8 on the outer periphery of the slide block 6 operates, and under the operation of the worm gear reducer 7, it drives the gear 9 inside the slide block 6 to rotate. This allows the gear 9 to mesh with the tooth groove 5 inside the straight seat 4, and under the meshing force, the slide block 6 can slide along the straight seat 4. This allows the slide block 6 to move the monitor body 10, and the bidirectional adjustment in both directions facilitates the reduction of blind spots generated when the monitor body 10 is shooting. At the same time, the monitor body 10 can adopt... The rotatable and adjustable monitoring probe enables more accurate collection and recording of ruminant activity, facilitating data observation. The controller 11 on the outside of the slide plate 6 allows for temporary storage of data recorded by the main monitor 10, and can transmit the recorded data to the terminal controller via the Internet, facilitating data observation. The internal structure of the power distribution cabinet 12 facilitates the operation and recording of multiple servo motors 8 and controllers 11 inside the enclosure 1, making it easier for personnel to control the operation of the data acquisition equipment.
