Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of breeding, and in particular is a multifunctional pig house environment control and epidemic disease early warning device. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of agricultural modernization, large-scale and intensive pig farming has developed rapidly. However, in the process of large-scale pig house farming, environmental factors have an important impact on the growth, development and health of pigs. Traditional pig house environmental control methods mostly rely on manual operation, which is not only inefficient, but also difficult to ensure the stability and accuracy of environmental parameters. Therefore, using modern information technology, sensor technology, automatic control technology and data analysis technology to develop a multifunctional pig house environmental control and disease early warning device has become an important issue facing the modern pig farming industry.

[0003] Although there are some pig house environment control and disease warning devices on the market, which usually include control units, fences, infrared temperature sensors and pump components, most of them have single functions and cannot achieve comprehensive environment control and disease warning. For example, some devices can only monitor environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity in the pig house, but cannot monitor and warn the health status of pigs in real time; other devices can monitor the body temperature of pigs to determine whether they are sick, but lack the function of automatically controlling environmental parameters and spraying disinfectants.

[0004] In summary, the existing pig house environment control and disease early warning devices on the market are insufficient in terms of comprehensive functions, which has become a problem that technicians in this field urgently need to solve. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a multifunctional pig house environment control and disease early warning device. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional pig house environment control and disease warning device, which can realize precise control of the pig house environment and timely warning and prevention of sick pig diseases through sensors, automatic control and data analysis, thereby ultimately improving the pig farming efficiency and the health level of pigs.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the present invention is as follows: a multifunctional pig house environment control and disease early warning device, comprising a control unit, a fence, an infrared temperature sensor and a pump assembly for supplying disinfectant or cleaning liquid, a linear motor is fixedly connected to the longitudinal and transverse edges on either side of the fence, the output end of the linear motor is fixedly connected to a positioning box, the infrared temperature sensor and the pump assembly are both fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning box, the detection end of the infrared temperature sensor passes through the outer wall of the positioning box, the output end and the input end of the pump assembly both pass through the outer wall of the positioning box, the output end of the pump assembly is fixedly connected to a plurality of nozzles, the input end of the pump assembly is respectively fixedly connected to a dust sensor and a filter, a radio microphone is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the positioning box, and the linear motor, the infrared temperature sensor, the pump assembly, the radio microphone and the dust sensor are all connected to the control unit signal;

[0007] The control unit is used to obtain the position information of the pig in the fence based on the temperature information collected by the infrared temperature sensor, and to obtain the audio information collected by the receiving microphone in real time, and to extract the pig activity characteristics in the audio information. When the pig activity characteristics are collected, the linear motor and pump assembly are controlled to operate, and the cleaning liquid is sprayed on the pig's position in the fence.

[0008] Furthermore, the control unit is used to obtain the temperature information collected by the infrared temperature sensor in real time, obtain the displacement area of ​​the two positioning boxes when the temperature information is different, define the intersection area of ​​the displacement area of ​​the two positioning boxes as the pig location area, and output the pig's location information in the fence accordingly.

[0009] Furthermore, the control unit is used to control the linear motor to run at a preset time interval, so that the positioning box carrying the infrared temperature sensor moves back and forth along the edge of the fence, and obtains temperature information collected by the infrared temperature sensor in real time. When the temperature information collected by the infrared temperature sensor is greater than or equal to the pig's body temperature threshold, the linear motor is controlled to stop running and an alarm message is issued. When the user confirms the alarm message or the collected temperature information greater than or equal to the pig's body temperature threshold disappears, the linear motor is resumed to run.

[0010] The control unit includes a sick pig judgment module, which is used to judge whether the pig is sick based on the temperature information obtained by the control unit and preset sick pig characteristics. The sick pig characteristics include the sick pig's body temperature and the sound of the sick pig's illness.

[0011] Furthermore, the control unit includes a positioning and tracking module, which is used to timedly drive two sets of linear motors to scan the breeding area from the horizontal and vertical directions, and at the same time receive feedback from the sick pig judgment module. When the position of the sick pig is found and determined, the position of the sick pig is tracked from the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0012] Furthermore, a pig voiceprint feature library is preset in the positioning and tracking module, which is used to assist the positioning and tracking module to more accurately identify and track sick pigs. During the positioning and tracking process, the radio microphone captures the sound in the pig house, and converts the sound signal into a digital signal and sends it to the positioning and tracking module. The positioning and tracking module tracks specific sick pigs by comparing the captured sound signal with the voiceprint information in the pig voiceprint feature library.

[0013] Furthermore, the control unit includes a disinfection control module, which is used to start the pump assembly when the positioning box tracks the sick pig, and spray disinfectant to the area around the sick pig through the nozzle.

[0014] Furthermore, the control unit includes a dust judgment module, which is used to receive the sound in the pig house captured by the radio microphone. When the sound of pig activity is generated in the pig house, the dust judgment module is combined with the position information of the pig in the fence collected by the positioning and tracking module to judge the pigs that are generated or moving and the area where the pigs are active, and control the pump component to spray cleaning liquid to the area where the sound is generated or moving;

[0015] The dust judgment module is used to determine whether the dust concentration reaches the preset standard. The dust sensor detects the dust concentration in the spraying area of ​​the pump assembly in real time. If the dust concentration is greater than or equal to the preset standard, the disinfection control module is used to adjust the pump assembly to continuously spray cleaning liquid into the spraying area. If the dust concentration is less than the preset standard, the disinfection control module is used to adjust the pump assembly to stop spraying cleaning liquid.

[0016] Furthermore, the control unit also includes an alarm module, which is used to issue an alarm when the infrared temperature sensor detects the high temperature of the sick pig and the radio microphone captures the sound of the disease.

[0017] Furthermore, the control unit also includes a communication module, and the communication module is used to send the real-time recorded data to a remote monitoring center.

[0018] Furthermore, the control unit also includes a storage module for storing real-time probability data, and the real-time recorded data includes the pig's body temperature record, disease sound record and disinfection treatment record.

[0019] The following principles and beneficial effects are achieved by adopting the above scheme:

[0020] Basic principle: First, the infrared temperature sensor is used to monitor the pigs’ body temperature, the microphone is used to capture the sound in the pig house to determine whether the pigs are sick, the dust sensor is used to monitor the dust concentration in the environment, and the linear motor and positioning box are used to achieve precise positioning and tracking. Finally, the pump assembly sprays disinfectant to prevent and control the disease. All data are processed and analyzed by the control unit to achieve automatic control and timely warning.

[0021] Beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The present invention can monitor the temperature, humidity, dust concentration, body temperature and sound of pigs in real time in the pig house by integrating multiple sensors and automatic control modules, and realize comprehensive monitoring of the pig house environment. At the same time, according to the monitoring data, the control unit can automatically adjust the environmental conditions in the pig house, such as temperature and humidity, to meet the growth needs of pigs and improve pig farming efficiency.

[0023] 2. Through data analysis of infrared temperature sensors and microphones, the present invention can timely detect and warn of abnormal conditions of pigs, such as elevated body temperature, sounds of illness, etc. At the same time, by using linear motors and positioning boxes, the device can accurately locate and track sick pigs, providing accurate target information for subsequent disease prevention and control.

[0024] 3. After the sick pig is found, the present invention can automatically start the pump assembly and spray disinfectant to the environment around the sick pig through the nozzle to achieve automatic disease prevention and control. This can not only reduce manual intervention and reduce the risk of disease transmission, but also improve the efficiency of disease prevention and control.

[0025] 4. The present invention also has a data storage function, which can record historical data such as pigs' body temperature, disease sounds, dust concentration, and disinfection treatment. These data can be used for subsequent data analysis, providing a scientific basis for pig house environmental control and disease early warning, and further improving the intelligent level of pig farming.

[0026] 5. The communication module in the present invention can send real-time data and historical data to the remote monitoring center to achieve remote monitoring and management. This not only allows managers to understand the operating status of the pig house at any time, but also allows timely response and handling of abnormal situations, thereby improving the overall management efficiency of the pig farming industry.

[0032] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0033] The embodiment is basically as shown in the attached Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown: a multifunctional pig house environment control and disease early warning device, including a control unit, a fence 8, an infrared temperature sensor 1 and a pump assembly 2 for supplying disinfectant or cleaning liquid, a linear motor 3 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal and transverse edges on either side of the fence 8 by bolts, the output end of the linear motor 3 is fixedly connected to the positioning box 7 by screws, the infrared temperature sensor 1 and the pump assembly 2 are both fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning box 7 by screws, the detection end of the infrared temperature sensor 1 passes through the outer wall of the positioning box 7, the output end and the input end of the pump assembly 2 both pass through the outer wall of the positioning box 7, the output end of the pump assembly 2 is fixedly connected to a plurality of nozzles 5, the input end of the pump assembly 2 is respectively fixedly connected to a dust sensor and a filter 6 by screws, a radio microphone 4 is embedded on the outer wall of the positioning box 7, the linear motor 3, the infrared temperature sensor 1, the pump assembly 2, the radio microphone 4 and the dust sensor are all connected to the control unit signal.

[0034] The control unit is used to obtain the position information of the pig in the fence 8 based on the temperature information collected by the infrared temperature sensor 1, and to obtain the audio information collected by the radio microphone 4 in real time, and to extract the pig activity characteristics in the audio information. When the pig activity characteristics are collected, the linear motor 3 and the pump assembly 2 are controlled to operate, and the cleaning liquid is sprayed on the pig's position in the fence 8.

[0035] The control unit controls the linear motor 3 to run at a preset time interval, so that the positioning box 7 carrying the infrared temperature sensor 1 moves back and forth along the edge of the fence 8, and obtains the temperature information collected by the infrared temperature sensor 1 in real time. When the temperature information collected by the infrared temperature sensor 1 is greater than or equal to the pig's body temperature threshold, the linear motor 3 is controlled to stop running and an alarm message is issued. When the user confirms the alarm message or the collected temperature information greater than or equal to the pig's body temperature threshold disappears, the linear motor 3 is restored to run.

[0036] The control unit includes a sick pig judgment module, a positioning and tracking module, a disinfection control module, a dust judgment module, an alarm module, a communication module and a storage module.

[0037] The sick pig judgment module is used to judge whether the pig is sick based on the data provided by the environmental monitoring module and the preset sick pig characteristics. The sick pig characteristics include the temperature changes of the sick pig and the sounds of the sick pig.

[0038] The positioning and tracking module is used to regularly drive two groups of linear motors 3 to scan the breeding area 9 from the horizontal and vertical directions, and at the same time receive feedback from the sick pig judgment module. After the sick pig's position is found and determined, the sick pig's position is tracked from the horizontal and vertical directions. At the same time, the positioning and tracking module is preset with a pig voiceprint feature library, which is used to assist the positioning and tracking module to more accurately identify and track sick pigs. During the positioning and tracking process, the radio microphone 4 captures the sound in the pig house, and converts the sound signal into a digital signal and sends it to the positioning and tracking module. The positioning and tracking module can quickly track a specific sick pig by comparing the captured sound signal with the voiceprint information in the pig voiceprint feature library. The disinfection control module is used to start the pump assembly 2 when the positioning box 7 tracks the sick pig, and spray disinfectant to the surrounding environment of the sick pig through the nozzle 5.

[0039] The control unit includes a dust judgment module, which is used to receive the sound in the pig house captured by the radio microphone 4. When the sound of pig activity is generated in the pig house, the position information of the pig in the fence 8 collected by the positioning and tracking module is combined to judge the pigs that are generated or moving and the area where the pigs are active, and control the pump component 2 to spray cleaning liquid to the area where the pigs are generated or moving; the dust judgment module is used to judge whether the dust concentration reaches the preset standard, and the dust sensor detects the dust concentration in the spraying area of ​​the pump component 2 in real time. If the dust concentration is greater than or equal to the preset standard, the disinfection control module is used to adjust the pump component 2 to continuously spray cleaning liquid to the spraying area. If the dust concentration is less than the preset standard, the disinfection control module is used to adjust the pump component 2 to stop spraying cleaning liquid.

[0040] The dust in the air of the pig house has a particle size range of 0.1-100μm, and mainly comes from dust, dander, feed, dry feces and bedding, among which feed is the main source. Usually, the dust is deposited on the floor and walls of the pig house. When the pigs are active, some of the deposited dust floats, resulting in a decrease in the air quality in the pig house. In this embodiment, the dust is sprayed with cleaning liquid to make it settle, which reduces the impact of the dust on the air in the pig house.

[0041] The alarm module is used to send an alarm to notify the staff when the infrared temperature sensor 1 detects the high temperature of the sick pig and the microphone 4 captures the sound of the disease. The communication module is used to send the real-time recorded data to the remote monitoring center. The storage module is used to store the real-time recorded data, which includes the pig's body temperature record, disease sound record and disinfection treatment record.

[0042] Specific implementation steps:

[0043] First, the above device is arranged on the fence 8 of the breeding area 9. When the device is powered on, the control unit is first initialized, and all preset modules are loaded and started, including the sick pig judgment module, the positioning and tracking module, the disinfection control module, the dust judgment module, the alarm module, the communication module and the storage module. After the initialization is completed, the linear motor 3 is in a standby state, and the infrared temperature sensor 1, the dust sensor, the radio microphone 4 and other sensors begin to monitor the environmental parameters and the health status of the pigs in real time through the two sets of preset linear motors 3 running in the longitudinal and transverse directions.

[0044] The environmental monitoring module continuously receives data from the infrared temperature sensor 1, the dust sensor and the microphone 4, and analyzes the temperature, dust concentration and abnormal sounds in the pig house. The sick pig judgment module determines whether the pig is sick based on the data provided by the environmental monitoring module and the preset sick pig characteristics, including the pig's body temperature and specific disease sounds. If the sick pig judgment module finds an abnormality, it immediately sends an alarm to the positioning and tracking module, and attaches preliminary information about the suspected sick pig.

[0045] After receiving the alarm from the sick pig judgment module, the positioning and tracking module immediately starts the two sets of linear motors 3 to scan the breeding area 9 from the horizontal and vertical directions. During the scanning process, the microphone 4 captures the sound in the pig house, converts the sound signal into a digital signal and sends it to the positioning and tracking module. The positioning and tracking module uses the preset pig voiceprint feature library, compares the captured sound signal with the information in the voiceprint feature library, and controls the linear motor 3 to move and track the position of the specific sick pig through the positioning and tracking module.

[0046] Once the location of the sick pig is determined, the positioning and tracking module will feed back the location information to the disinfection control module and continue to track the movement of the sick pig to ensure the accuracy of the subsequent disinfection treatment. After receiving the location information from the positioning and tracking module, the disinfection control module immediately starts the pump assembly 2 to spray disinfectant to the surrounding environment of the sick pig through the nozzle 5. While spraying the disinfectant, the dust sensor detects the dust concentration in the spraying area in real time. If the concentration of pathogenic dust is still greater than or equal to the preset standard. The disinfection control module controls the pump assembly 2 to spray the cleaning liquid at the same time until the dust concentration in the spraying area is less than the preset standard.

[0047] At the same time, if the infrared temperature sensor 1 detects a high temperature in the sick pig, or the microphone 4 captures the sound of illness, the alarm module will immediately sound an alarm to notify the staff. The alarm information can include the location of the sick pig, the suspected cause of the disease, and the recommended response measures. At the same time, the communication module will send the real-time recorded data and alarm information to the remote monitoring center so that the management staff can promptly understand the abnormal situation in the pig house and respond.

[0048] The storage module continuously records the pigs’ body temperature, sounds of illness, disinfection treatment and other data. These data can be used for subsequent data analysis to provide a scientific basis for pig house environmental control and disease early warning.
