Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the weight measurement method of the present invention is provided, the method including the steps of:
and S11, detecting whether livestock passes through the weighbridge. When there is an animal passing the weighbridge, the next step S12 is entered.
In the embodiment of the invention, each livestock is pasted with the electronic tag, the electronic tag can be scanned through the reader, and when the electronic tag is scanned, the livestock is judged to pass through the weighbridge. The electronic tag is also called as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag, and preferably a passive RFID tag, and is required to be waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and not easy to break off. In order to improve the accuracy of judgment, the effectiveness of the scanned electronic tag can be judged, and when the effective electronic tag is scanned (for example, when a specific identification code is scanned, the electronic tag is determined to be effective), the livestock is judged to pass through the weighbridge.
As shown in fig. 2, the weighbridge 230 may be installed at the outlet of the cultivation shed 100, and the end of the weighbridge 230 near the cultivation shed 100 is a fence entering end, and the end far away from the cultivation shed 100 is a fence exiting end. The length and width of the weighbridge 230 are close to those of one adult livestock, so that the weighbridge 230 is prevented from being extruded by two livestock at the same time. The bottom of the weighbridge 230 can be primed with reinforced concrete to ensure that the weighbridge does not settle, and is recommended to be arranged in a wind and rain shed to prevent water logging. The weigh scale 230 may establish a communication connection with a server or a terminal device, such as a server through a 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, etc. mobile communication system.
The reader may be located at the side (i.e., rail 110) or the middle of the weigh scale 230, corresponding to the electronic tag on the animal. As shown in fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, two readers, namely a first reader 210 and a second reader 220, are disposed on opposite sides of a weighbridge 230, and an electronic tag is disposed on one side of an animal, and preferably attached to a front leg (such as a front hoof) or a rear leg (such as a rear hoof) of the animal, and a maximum distance between the first reader 210 and the second reader 220 for detecting the electronic tag is preferably limited within 30-40 cm, so that when the animal passes through a weighbridge, only one side of the two readers can scan the electronic tag, and thus, whether the animal is out of the fence or in the fence can be distinguished, and further, the weight of the animal when out of the fence and the weight of the animal when in the fence can be.
For example, assuming that the electronic tag is attached to the left side of the livestock, when the electronic tag is scanned by the first reader 210, the livestock is declared to be in the fence, and the measured weight is the weight in the fence; when the second reader 220 scans the electronic tags, the livestock is out of the fence, and the weight measured at the moment is the out-of-fence weight. On the contrary, when the electronic tag is adhered to the right side of the livestock, the opposite is true.
Further, the first reader 210 may be disposed near the entry end of the weigh bridge 230, such as 20% -40% of the total length of the first reader 210 and the entry end of the weigh bridge 230, preferably 1/3; the second reader 220 is positioned near the end of the bar, such that the distance between the second reader 220 and the end of the bar is 20% -40% of the total length of the side of the weigh scale 230, preferably 1/3. At this time, assuming that the electronic tag is adhered to the left front hoof of the livestock, when the livestock enters the fence, the first reader 210 will detect the electronic tag, and at this time, the four limbs of the livestock are on the weighbridge 230, and the measured weight is the total weight of the livestock, so as to measure the accurate weight of entering the fence; when the livestock is out of the fence, the second reader 220 detects the electronic tags, the limbs of the livestock are also on the weighbridge 230, the measured weight is the total weight of the livestock, and the accurate weight of the livestock out of the fence is measured.
In addition, the electronic tag can also be arranged on other body parts of the livestock. Take the livestock as the milk cow example, can paste electronic tags on the ox horn of milk cow, the position and the height that read the ware this moment also need corresponding adjustment, need guarantee that the milk cow passes through weighbridge 230 the time, electronic tags and the distance of reading the ware are within certain range, because the difference in height of ox horn and have the different states of low head and new head, the realization degree of difficulty need be greater than the electronic tags and paste the situation on the ox hoof.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, in addition to detecting whether the livestock passes through the weighbridge by scanning the electronic tag with the reader, the livestock may be detected by other sensors, such as an infrared sensor, a laser sensor, etc., which is not limited by the present invention.
And S12, reading the data of the electronic tags on the livestock as identification information of the livestock through the reader, and measuring the weight of the livestock through the weighbridge.
The electronic tags contain the unique identification information of the livestock, the reader reads the data of the electronic tags on the livestock body, the identification information of the livestock is obtained, and the identity of the livestock can be identified through the identification information.
In order to save electric energy, in the embodiment of the invention, when the livestock is detected to pass through the weighbridge, the weighbridge is started, the weight of the livestock is measured by the weighbridge, and when no livestock passes through the weighbridge within the preset time after the weight is measured, the weighbridge is closed, so that the electricity is prevented from being wasted due to the fact that the weighbridge is opened for a long time in idle. Turning on and off the weigh scale as described herein may be turning on and off the power to the weigh scale (or weigh cell) or waking up and sleeping the weigh scale (or weigh cell).
In the embodiment of the invention, the measured reading value is jittered when the livestock passes through the weighbridge, in order to improve the measurement accuracy, the weight is measured once every preset time by the weighbridge when the weight is measured, at least N (N is more than or equal to 4) times is continuously measured, then the maximum value and the minimum value are removed from the measured values, and the average value of the rest measured values is obtained to be used as the weight of the livestock. The aforementioned preset time period, i.e., the interval time between successive measurements, is preferably set to 40 to 60 milliseconds. If the weight is measured every 50 milliseconds, the weight is continuously measured for 4 times, the maximum value and the minimum value are removed, and the average value of the remaining two values is taken as the weight of the livestock.
Further, in order to further improve the accuracy of the measurement, before the continuous measurement, whether the analyzed weight is within the preset range or not can be detected by the weighbridge, and when the analyzed weight is within the preset range, the weighbridge measures the weight once every preset time and continuously measures the weight for multiple times. The preset range, i.e. the preset weight range, can be set according to the actual weight of the raised livestock.
In other embodiments, at least two weight values measured consecutively may also be directly averaged, and the average value may be used as the weight of the animal. The invention is not limited to the specific measurement mode of the body weight.
And S13, sending the identification information and the weight of the livestock to the outside.
In the embodiment of the invention, the identification information and the weight of the livestock are sent to the server, and the server performs classified storage according to the identification information, the weight and the time information of the livestock so as to perform post-analysis processing on the health and diet conditions of the livestock. When the number of the readers is two, the weight is further subdivided into a entering-column weight and a leaving-column weight, and the server stores the two weights in a classified mode.
In other embodiments, the identification information and the weight of the livestock may also be sent to a terminal device, for example, a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet, which is not limited in the present invention.
The weight measuring method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to the livestock farms for feeding cattle, horses, sheep, donkeys and other livestock, and the integrated weight measuring system is arranged at the outlet of the breeding shed of the livestock farms for automatically measuring the weight of the fed livestock.
As shown in fig. 3, to implement an example of the weight measuring system of the weight measuring method of the present invention, the system includes a weighbridge weighing sensor, a filter amplifier and an analog-to-digital converter, a first reader, a second reader, a communication unit (including a microprocessor, which may include one or more communication modes of 2G/3G/4G/5G), a peripheral display and interface unit, and a battery and power management unit. The weighing sensor converts the measured weight into an analog electric signal, the analog electric signal is processed into a digital signal through filtering amplification and an analog-to-digital converter, and the digital signal is converted into a weight value through the measuring range of a microprocessor of the communication unit; the first reader and the second reader read the electronic tags of the livestock when the livestock enters the livestock and goes out of the livestock respectively; the communication unit is used as a main control unit for receiving the identification information of the livestock output by the first reader and the second reader, driving the peripheral display and interface unit to output the identification information and the weight of the livestock, and simultaneously transmitting the information to the server through a 2G/3G/4G/5G network. In order to save electricity, only when the first reader and the second reader read valid electronic tags, the microprocessor of the communication unit turns on the power supply of the weighing sensor to weigh, and the battery and the power supply management unit provide power supply for each unit circuit.
According to the weight measuring method provided by the embodiment of the invention, when livestock passes through the weighbridge scale, the data of the electronic tags on the livestock body are read by the reader to serve as the identification information of the livestock, the weight of the livestock is measured by the weighbridge scale, and the identification information and the weight of the livestock are sent outwards, so that the weight of the livestock is automatically measured, manual measurement and recording are not needed, and the efficiency and the accuracy of measuring the weight of the livestock are greatly improved.
With reference to fig. 4, a first embodiment of the weight measuring device of the invention is proposed, said device comprising a detection module 10, a reading module 20, a weighing module 30 and a sending module 40, wherein: the detection module 10 is used for detecting whether livestock passes through the weighbridge; the reading module 20 is used for reading the data of the electronic tags on the livestock body through a reader when the livestock passes through the weighbridge, and taking the data as the identification information of the livestock; the weighing module 30 is used for measuring the weight of the livestock through the weighbridge when the livestock passes through the weighbridge; and the sending module 40 is used for sending the identification information and the weight of the livestock outwards.

In order to improve the accuracy of the determination, the determining unit 12 may further determine the validity of the scanned electronic tag, and when a valid electronic tag is scanned (for example, when a specific identification code is scanned, the electronic tag is determined to be valid), it is determined that the livestock passes through the weighbridge.
As shown in fig. 2, the weighbridge 230 may be installed at the outlet of the cultivation shed 100, and the end of the weighbridge 230 near the cultivation shed 100 is a fence entering end, and the end far away from the cultivation shed 100 is a fence exiting end. The length and width of the weighbridge 230 are close to those of one adult livestock, so that the weighbridge 230 is prevented from being extruded by two livestock at the same time.
The reader may be located at the side or middle of the weigh scale 230 corresponding to the electronic tag on the animal. As shown in fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, two readers, namely a first reader 210 and a second reader 220, are disposed on opposite sides of a weighbridge 230, and an electronic tag is disposed on one side of an animal, and preferably attached to a front leg (such as a front hoof) or a rear leg (such as a rear hoof) of the animal, and a maximum distance between the first reader 210 and the second reader 220 for detecting the electronic tag is preferably limited within 30-40 cm, so that when the animal passes through a weighbridge, only one side of the two readers can scan the electronic tag, and thus, whether the animal is out of the fence or in the fence can be distinguished, and further, the weight of the animal when out of the fence and the weight of the animal when in the fence can be.
For example, assuming that the electronic tag is attached to the left side of the livestock, when the electronic tag is scanned by the first reader 210, the detection module 10 determines that the livestock enters the stall, and the measured weight is the weight entering the stall; when the second reader 220 scans the electronic tag, the detection module 10 determines that the livestock is out of stock, and the weight measured at this time is the out-of-stock weight. On the contrary, when the electronic tag is adhered to the right side of the livestock, the opposite is true.
Further, the first reader 210 may be disposed near the entry end of the weigh bridge 230, such as 20% -40% of the total length of the first reader 210 and the entry end of the weigh bridge 230, preferably 1/3; the second reader 220 is positioned near the end of the bar, such that the distance between the second reader 220 and the end of the bar is 20% -40% of the total length of the side of the weigh scale 230, preferably 1/3. At this time, assuming that the electronic tag is adhered to the left front hoof of the livestock, when the livestock enters the fence, the first reader 210 will detect the electronic tag, and at this time, the four limbs of the livestock are on the weighbridge 230, and the measured weight is the total weight of the livestock, so as to measure the accurate weight of entering the fence; when the livestock is out of the fence, the second reader 220 detects the electronic tags, the limbs of the livestock are also on the weighbridge 230, the measured weight is the total weight of the livestock, and the accurate weight of the livestock out of the fence is measured.
In addition, the electronic tag can also be arranged on other body parts of the livestock. Use the livestock as the milk cow for example, can paste electronic tags on the ox horn of milk cow, the position and the height that read the ware this moment also need corresponding adjustment, when needing to guarantee that the milk cow passes through the weighbridge, electronic tags and the distance of reading the ware are within certain extent, because the difference in height of ox horn and have the different states of low head and new head, the realization degree of difficulty need be greater than the situation that electronic tags pasted on the hoof.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the detection module 10 may detect the livestock passing through the weighbridge by other sensors, such as infrared sensor, laser sensor, etc., besides the electronic tag scanned by the reader, which is not limited by the present invention.
The electronic tags contain the unique identification information of the livestock, the reading module 20 reads the data of the electronic tags on the livestock body through the reader to acquire the identification information of the livestock, and the identity of the livestock can be identified through the identification information.

The aforementioned preset time period, i.e., the interval time between successive measurements, is preferably set to 40 to 60 milliseconds. If the measuring unit 31 measures the weight once every 50 milliseconds for 4 consecutive times, the calculating unit 32 removes the maximum and minimum values and averages the remaining two values as the weight of the animal.
In order to further improve the accuracy of the measurement, in further embodiments, the weighing module 30 further comprises an analyzing unit 33, as shown in fig. 7, the analyzing unit 33 being configured to: whether the analyzed weight is within a preset range is detected by the weighbridge, and when the analyzed weight is within the preset range, the measuring unit 31 is informed to measure the weight once every preset time by the weighbridge. The preset range, i.e. the preset weight range, can be set according to the actual weight of the raised livestock.
In other embodiments, the weighing module 30 may also directly average at least two weight values measured consecutively, and use the average as the weight of the animal. The invention is not limited to the specific measurement mode of the body weight.
