Abstract

Electronic scales for cattle and horses comprise hoof-shoes for placing on the hooves of the animal. Each shoe comprises measurement electronics with an output signal transmitted over a cable or wirelessly to a central evaluation and display unit. The evaluation unit calculates the total animal weight by summation of the values from each hoof and displays the resultant value. The evaluation unit can be configured as a portable hand-held device or a fixed unit.

Description

Beschreibung der AnwendungDescription of the application

Derzeit ist auf dem Markt keine praktische, kostengünstige Lösung für den Normalverbraucher erhältlich, mit der das genaue Gewicht eines Pferdes gemessen werden kann. Es existieren lediglich Plattform-Waagen, auf die das Pferd gestellt werden muß. Diese großen und teuren Waagen befinden sich lediglich bei Pferdeärzten bzw. größeren Tierkliniken. Eine kostengünstige und praktische bzw. handliche "Taschen-Waage" für einen Reitstall oder sogar den Freizeitreiter gibt es derzeit nicht. There is currently no practical, low-cost solution for ordinary consumers on the market available to measure the exact weight of a horse. It exists only platform scales on which the horse must be placed. These big and expensive ones Scales are only found at equine doctors or larger veterinary clinics. An inexpensive and practical or handy "pocket scales" for a riding stable or even the recreational rider does not currently exist.

Diese kostengünstige Lösung soll es jedem Pferdestall oder sogar jedem privaten Pferdebesitzer ermöglichen, mit einfachen Mitteln das genaue Gewicht seines Pferdes zu ermitteln. This cost-effective solution is intended for every horse stable or even every private horse owner allow to determine the exact weight of his horse with simple means.

Funktionsprinzipprinciple of operation

Das Pferd bekommt an jeden Huf Hufschuhe aufgezogen, in denen Sensoren eingebaut sind. Diese messen, jeder separat, das Teilgewicht, welches auf dem jeweiligen Huf aufliegt und senden die gemessenen Werte zum Handgerät, in welchem die Werte addiert und angezeigt werden. Die Übertragung kann dabei drahtgebunden oder auch über Funk erfolgen. Der Betrieb erfolgt beispielsweise über Batterie/Akku (siehe hierzu die beiliegende Zeichnung). The horse gets hoof boots on each hoof, in which sensors are installed. These measure, each separately, the partial weight that lies on the respective hoof and send the measured values to the handheld device, in which the values are added and displayed become. The transmission can be wired or radio. The operation takes place, for example, via battery / rechargeable battery (see the attached drawing).

Entwicklungdevelopment

Die Entwicklungsarbeiten der Elektronik sind derzeit in vollem Gange. In Kürze wird ein funktionsfähiger und vorführbereiter Prototyp vorliegen. Electronics development work is currently in full swing. Coming soon A functional and demonstrable prototype is available.

Technische Realisierungtechnical realization

In jedem Hufüberzug bzw. Hufschuh, welcher am Huf befestigt wird, befindet sich eine Sensorik aus z. B. Dehnungsmeßstreifen. Diese Sensorik misst das auf dem Huf aufliegende Gewicht und sendet den gemessenen Wert über einen Funksender (oder drahtgebunden) zum Handgerät (oder festinstallierte Einheit). Dort werden die Messwerte, die von den vier Sensoren übertragen werden, empfangen, addiert und als Gesamt-Gewicht angezeigt. There is a sensor in every hoof covering or hoof shoe that is attached to the hoof from z. B. strain gauges. This sensor system measures the weight on the hoof and sends the measured value to the handheld device via a radio transmitter (or wired) (or fixed unit). There the measured values are transmitted by the four sensors are received, added and displayed as total weight.

Produktion der WaagenProduction of the scales Marktchancenmarket opportunities

In dieser elektronischen Waage sehen wir sehr große, sogar weltweite Absatzmöglichkeiten, da sie in dieser Form auf dem gesamten Weltmarkt nicht existiert. Den Bedarf sehen wir bei einer kostengünstigen Kalkulation sehr groß. In this electronic scale we see very large, even worldwide, sales opportunities it does not exist in this form on the entire world market. We see the need for one cost-effective calculation very large.
