Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of livestock breeding, in particular to a livestock grouping device and a livestock grouping system with the device.
Background
In the dairy cow breeding process, daily works such as hybridization, disease treatment, quarantine immunization and the like are required. If there are 200 cattle in 1 cowshed, about 20-30 will need to be treated daily. Finding and chasing cattle in the cowshed is a time-consuming and labor-consuming task, and has potential safety hazards. To solve this problem, a grouping system is specially provided, the cows are milked 2-4 times per day to the milking parlor, and the cows are led to pass through the grouping system one by one on the way to return to the cowshed after the milking is finished, so that the cows to be treated are separated. The normal operation of the grouping system needs to ensure that the speed of cows when passing through the grouping channel cannot be too high and that two cows adjacent to each other in front and back cannot be too close. If the walking speed of the dairy cows is too high, the dairy cows can escape when the automatic separation door is not completely opened in place; if two cattle are tightly attached together, the photoelectric switch cannot judge whether the cattle are one or two, and the subsequent cattle can be failed to be clustered. FIG. 1 is a prior art grouping system, wherein an RFID identification system arranged at the entrance of the grouping system identifies the cattle; after identification of the identity information, the auto-induction entry door 14 is automatically opened to let the cow pass; meanwhile, the system determines the advancing direction (leftwards, rightwards or straight going) of the cattle according to preset grouping information; in the process that the cattle enter the first area 16 through the automatic induction entrance door 14, the automatic separation door 15 in a specific direction is opened to guide the cattle to enter a designated channel; when the cow leaves zone one 16 (sensed by the photoelectric switch), the system begins to identify the next cow and at the same time opens the auto-induction entry door 14 to pass. The automatic induction entrance door 14 releases the cows from one end, and ensures separation between the cows although the traveling speed of the cows is reduced, but if the preceding cows do not leave the automatic separation door 15, the system cannot identify the following cows, which is likely to cause congestion, resulting in low operation efficiency of the grouping system. Meanwhile, the interval between cows is larger than the body length of a cow in the mode, and the interval length is too large, so that the passing efficiency of the cows is reduced. In large pastures with high milking efficiency, the grouping gates of the separation mode are extremely easy to cause traffic jams.
Therefore, how to solve the problem of easy congestion caused by low passing efficiency when animals are clustered in the prior art is an important technical problem to be solved by the technicians in the field.
