Free-ranging grazing management system based on unmanned aerial vehicles

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of captivity, aims at the defect that existing grazing management systems based on unmanned aerial vehicles are poor in using effect and discloses a free-ranging grazing management system based on unmanned aerial vehicles. The free-ranging grazing management system comprises a hangar, a control station and at least three beacons in wireless connection with the control station, and a sensing module is arranged on each beacon and used for positioning and collecting livestock position information and transmitting the same to the control station; an expelling unmanned aerial vehicle and a tracking unmanned aerial vehicle in wireless connection with the control station are arranged in the hangar, the expelling unmanned aerial vehicle is used for expelling livestock back to a foraging area, and the tracking unmanned aerial vehicle is used for tracking livestock leaving the foraging area; the control station comprises a host and an alarming device connected with the host, the host receives the position information of the livestock from the beacons and transmits a control instruction to the expelling unmanned aerial vehicle and the tracking unmanned aerial vehicle; each sensing module comprises an infrared camera and a distance sensor, a parking plate is arranged beside each beacon, and a to-be-charged area is arranged in the hangar. Compared with the prior art, the free-ranging grazing management system has the advantages of long flight duration and good management effect.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of stocking, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle-based free-range grazing management system. Background technique [0002] In the animal husbandry industry, it is often necessary to drive livestock to a pasture for food. The traditional method is to use herders to guard the foraging boundary to prevent the livestock from crossing the boundary. Sometimes the cooperation of shepherd dogs is required, and the labor cost is high. With the popularization of unmanned aerial vehicle technology, there are also attempts to use unmanned aerial vehicles for grazing management. [0003] Patent document CN104156821A discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle-based natural pasture husbandry management method, which dynamically adjusts the range of the pasture to track livestock through the drone cruise; patent document CN205196634U discloses a grazing device based on an unmanned aerial vehicle. Set tags on the livestock and dynamically...
