Problems solved by technology

[0009] One disadvantage that comes with this unit is that the data for one chick is only approximate, and a large number of chicks of the same weight may produce different profiles in one plane, which may lead to incorrect measurements

Embodiment Construction

[0036] figure 1 A device 1 according to the invention is shown for weighing chicks 2 whereby the chicks 2 are conveyed by means of a conveyor 3 and transported through a detection device 4 consisting of a vertically standing linear series of light sources 5. Its light beam impinges on the opposite vertical linear series light detector 6 and the horizontal linear series light source 7, wherein the linear detector 8 is arranged opposite to it. These detection means 4 are connected to a data processing unit 9 .

[0037] Downstream of the detection device 4 a movable outlet channel 10 is fitted, the outlet of which can be directed by the data processing unit 9 to a suitable container 11 for transporting the farm animals 2 according to their weight.

[0038] The operation of the device 1 is simple and described as follows.

[0039] The chicks are conveyed at a rate of up to several animals per second by a conveyor system 3 through which the chicks move past the detection device 4...

Abstract

Device for determining the weight and number of chicks or other poultry, whereby the device contains detection and transport means to guide the chicks past the detection means, whereby the detection means enable an outline of the passing chick to be determined, whereby these detection means enable two outlines of the same chick to be determined in at least two different directions, and whereby these detection means are linked to a data processing unit that contains an algorithm to calculate an approximate weight from the combination of two or more outlines of the individual chick that came through the detection means at that time. The invention also provides a sorting device, including a plurality of outputting portions for sorting chicks, the device for determining the weight and number of chicks, and arithmetic which enables the chicks to be calculated, recorded and weighed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for weighing chicks. [0002] More specifically, the device is used to quickly and efficiently weigh chickens or other poultry that are raised in large numbers in industrial poultry farms. Background technique [0003] Traditionally, chicks are raised eg in industrial poultry farms, since in a short time span a large number of young animals are transported via conveyor belts and then have to be sorted according to weight for further sale or for statistical or metering purposes. [0004] It is known to use a conveyor belt or other conveying means to transport the animals (in this case chicks) through a chute whereby the chute is equipped with a detection system in a vertical plane, for example on one side of the chute Contains an upright light source and an upright detector for the light source on the other side of the chute. [0005] When the farm animal is in the light path, the light beam from the light source to t...
