In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, the rack unit 100 further includes four roller elements 130, and the four roller elements 130 are correspondingly disposed at four corners of the rack unit 100 for facilitating the movement of the rack unit 100.
As shown in fig. 9 to 10, the intercepting unit 700 includes two driving members 710 and an intercepting member 720. Wherein, the two driving elements 710 are correspondingly disposed inside the two sliding slots 110; the two ends of the intercepting member 720 are respectively connected with the output shafts of the two driving members 710, and are used for ascending or descending under the driving of the two driving members 710 so as to intercept or release the cow.
The driving element 710 is a telescopic member, and the driving element 710 includes, but is not limited to, an electric push rod, an air cylinder, and an electric cylinder.
Wherein the interception member 720 intercepts the rod or the interception plate.
Further, in order to prevent the blocking element 720 from causing damage to the cow, the blocking unit 700 includes a buffer element 730, and the buffer element 730 is disposed on the surface of the blocking element 720.
Wherein the buffering member 730 is made of rubber.
Specifically, in the case where the control element 610 acquires the image information acquired by the image acquisition element 410 and generates the body condition score, the control element 610 controls the driving element 710 to contract to move the intercepting element 720 downward to pass the cow; in the case where the control component 610 does not acquire the image information acquired by the image acquisition component 410, the control component 610 controls the driving component 710 to extend to move the blocking component 720 upward to block the cow until the control component 610 acquires the image information acquired by the image acquisition component 410 and generates the body condition score.
In some of these embodiments, in the case where the control element 610 acquires that the image information is blurred and cannot generate the body condition score, the control element 610 controls the driving element 710 to extend to move the intercepting element 720 upward to intercept the cow, and then the control element 610 controls the image capturing element 410 to re-acquire the image information and generate the body condition score according to the re-acquired image information.
The technical features of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, but should be considered as the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
The above examples only express several embodiments of the present application, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, which falls within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
