[0002] Insects are the most numerous animal group on Earth, accounting for more than 50% of all biological species. They are a valuable resource that humans should fully utilize. They are one of the important ways to solve the shortage of animal protein, a new way to ensure food supply, and the best choice for improving the environment. Insects have a short generation, reproduce quickly, and have a high food conversion rate. Their overall biomass may exceed the total biomass of all animals on land. The insect world contains extremely rich resources and is an important renewable biological resource. "Insects are the last piece of cake God has left for mankind." The industrial utilization of insect resources has both the characteristics of an emerging industry and a long history.

[0003] Modern insect farming mainly focuses on agricultural farming technology itself, relying heavily on manpower for environmental management, feeding, growth monitoring, and the rich experience of farmers. The work is hard, the farming is difficult, and the profit margin is not high. There are also some device inventions for insect farming, but they are not based on the traditional planar farming structure, or they are aimed at improving a certain link in the farming process. Others do not make full use of the current advanced Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technologies, and cannot achieve standardization, specialization and unmanned operation of the insect farming process, nor can they achieve large-scale farming production, which hinders the application and promotion of insect products.

A three-dimensional placement rack is used for three-dimensional management and stacking of the breeding boxes. The machine vision technology built into the management server is used to monitor the growth of insects. The Internet of Things sensing technology is used to feedback and adjust environmental parameters.

When the breeding box is in assembly line operation in the breeding box automated assembly line system, the camera collects the QR code of the breeding box and transmits it to the management server. The management server records the insect status and environmental information of the breeding box according to the acquired breeding box number. After determining the optimal position for placing the breeding box on the three-dimensional placement rack, the management server sends the optimal position instruction to the QR code scanner and stacker. The QR code scanner sequentially scans the QR code of the breeding box and determines whether the breeding box passes through the current fork channel. A gate is provided on the second docking track.

[0016] Place a batch of insect larvae of equal mass in each breeding box, and place the breeding boxes on a three-dimensional placement rack;

[0017] According to the growth habits of insects, the management server regularly takes out the breeding boxes that need to be fed through the docking module and transmits them to the circular belt conveyor for assembly line operation;

[0018] When the breeding box reaches the bottom of the camera, the endless belt conveyor stops, and the management server uses the built-in machine vision algorithm to analyze the insect images in the breeding box captured by the camera to obtain the insect status, which includes the size, activity and degree of molting of the insect. At the same time, the breeding box number is determined through the QR code collected by the camera and recorded in the management server, and the endless belt conveyor continues to drive;

[0019] When the breeding box reaches the weighing device, the endless belt conveyor stops, and the weighing device sends the current insect mass collected to the management server. The management server compares the current insect mass with the insect mass of the previous round, obtains the insect growth status and records it in the corresponding breeding box number, and the endless belt conveyor continues to drive;

[0020] When the breeding box reaches the bottom of the automatic feeder, the circular belt conveyor stops, and the management server uses the built-in feed feeding optimization algorithm to analyze the insect status and insect growth to obtain the optimal feeding amount. The automatic feeder feeds the breeding box according to the optimal feeding amount and records the optimal feeding amount in the corresponding breeding box number. The circular belt conveyor continues to drive;

[0021] The management server uses the built-in breeding box position optimization algorithm to analyze the insect status and the environmental information collected by the environmental monitoring sensor system to obtain the optimal position of the three-dimensional placement rack. The breeding box is transmitted back to the optimal position of the three-dimensional placement rack through the docking module specified by the management server;

[0022] The management server periodically takes out the breeding boxes that need to be fed through the docking module and transmits them to the circular belt conveyor for assembly line operation, until a batch of insect larvae grow into adults that meet the factory requirements.

[0023] The further technical solution is that the management server uses the built-in feed feeding optimization algorithm to analyze the insect status and insect growth to obtain the optimal feeding amount, including:

[0024] First, the insect state is used to distinguish whether the insect is in the larval or adult stage. If the insect is in the larval stage, the optimal feeding amount is obtained through y=n×m, where y is the optimal feeding amount, n is the breeding coefficient of the current insect species, and m is the current insect mass; if the insect is in the adult stage, the optimal feeding amount is obtained through y=a×mb, where a and b are the breeding coefficients of the current insect species; when the growth of the adult insect satisfies m=b / a, the automatic feeder stops feeding and reminds the management server to harvest the adults that meet the factory requirements.

When the next round of breeding boxes enter the warehouse, re-execute the measured environmental parameters of the breeding boxes in the grid corresponding to the stereoscopic placement rack before leaving the warehouse, which are temperature t n 、Humidity n , illuminance n , oxygen concentration o n and harmful gas concentration g n steps.

[0028] Its further technical scheme is that the breeding method also includes:

[0029] The management server analyzes environmental information through the built-in environmental feedback adjustment algorithm and controls the environmental control device to meet the average requirements of the insect growth environment. The control goal is to minimize the sum of the variance values ​​of the environmental parameters of all grids of the three-dimensional placement rack and the optimal environmental parameters corresponding to the breeding box;

[0030] The environmental feedback adjustment algorithm is based on the PID control algorithm. Assuming that the sampling interval of the temperature sensor is T, the actual environmental parameter of the nth grid at time kT is temperature t n (k), the optimal temperature required for the breeding box on each grid is The variance is The calculated environmental adjustment increment is Δu(k)=k p [v(k)-v(k-1)]+k i v(k)+k d [v(k)-2v(k-1)+v(k-2)], where k p is the proportionality coefficient, k i is the integration coefficient, k d is the differential coefficient, according to the empirical value k p =0.5, k i =0.2, k d =0.1, then the temperature value adjusted by the air conditioner each time is Repeat the monitoring of the actual environmental parameter of the nth grid at time kT as temperature t n (k) Step.

[0031] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are:

[0032] The present application utilizes a management server to transmit the breeding boxes placed in a three-dimensional placement rack to the breeding box automated assembly line system for video detection, weighing and feeding at a regular interval, and then transmits the transmission back to the optimal position of the three-dimensional placement rack through a docking module specified by the management server.

[0039] The specific implementation of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0040] The present application discloses an intelligent three-dimensional production system for insect breeding, combining Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the intelligent three-dimensional production system includes a management server, an automated production line system for breeding boxes, a plurality of three-dimensional racks 1 arranged in the breeding area, an environmental control device and an environmental monitoring sensor system 2, and a plurality of breeding boxes 3 placed in the three-dimensional racks 1. Each breeding box 3 is provided with a corresponding QR code, each QR code corresponds to a breeding box number, and a mesh structure is provided at the bottom of the breeding box.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the automated production line system for breeding boxes includes an endless belt conveyor 4, a weighing device 5 placed under the belt of the endless belt conveyor 4, a camera 6 and an automatic feeder 7 placed above the endless belt conveyor. The endless belt conveyor 4 is connected to the three-dimensional placement frame 1 through a docking module.

[0042] The docking module includes a first docking track 8, a second docking track 9, a stacker 10 and a two-dimensional code scanner 11 arranged in front of the second docking track 9. The stacker 10 and the two-dimensional code scanner 11 are respectively connected to the management server. The stacker 10 includes a vertical lifting track 101, a first rolling belt, a vibration motor and a collection box. Each grid of the three-dimensional placement rack 1 is provided with a second rolling belt, and a gate 901 is provided on the second docking track 9. Figure 3 As shown, in the breeding area, every two three-dimensional placing racks 1 are placed back to back as a group of three-dimensional placing racks, and a first docking track 8 is set between each group of three-dimensional placing racks as a common entrance and exit of each group of three-dimensional placing racks. A three-dimensional placing rack is also set opposite the first group of three-dimensional placing racks and the last group of three-dimensional placing racks and facing each other in the front, and a first docking track 8 is set between a three-dimensional placing rack and the first group of three-dimensional placing racks and the last group of three-dimensional placing racks. The stacker 10 moves on the first docking track 8, and the second docking track 9 is docked with the corresponding first docking track 8 as a fork channel of the endless belt conveyor 4. The present application uses three-dimensional placing racks and docking modules to realize the three-dimensional management and stacking of breeding boxes. By setting every two three-dimensional placing racks as a group and placing them back to back, the breeding space is fully utilized and the cost is saved.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, the management server is respectively connected to the environment control device, the environment monitoring sensor system 2, the weighing device 5, the camera 6, the automatic feeder 7, the docking module and the conveyor belt motor. The environment control device includes an air conditioner, an exhaust fan, a humidifier and an automatic curtain. The environment monitoring sensor system 2 is connected to the management server through a wireless gateway 12, and the wireless gateway 12 is arranged in the breeding area. The wireless gateway 12 and the management server are wirelessly connected using technologies such as WiFi / Zigbee / Bluetooth / LoRa. The environment monitoring sensor system 2 is respectively arranged on each grid of the three-dimensional placement rack 1, and is used to collect the environmental information of each grid of the three-dimensional placement rack. The environment monitoring sensor system 2 includes a temperature and humidity sensor, a light sensor, an oxygen sensor, a harmful gas sensor and a sound sensor. Each sensor adopts an existing sensor, so this application does not introduce the built-in circuit structure of each sensor in detail. The conveyor belt motor connects and controls the belt action (i.e., the first rolling belt and the second rolling belt) of the endless belt conveyor 4 and the docking module. The management server analyzes the environmental information collected by the environment monitoring sensor system 2 through the built-in environmental feedback adjustment algorithm to control the environment control device. The management server uses the built-in machine vision algorithm to analyze the insect images in the breeding box collected by the camera 6 to obtain the insect status. The insect status includes the size, activity and degree of molting of the insect. Specifically, the machine vision algorithm includes edge detection, motion detection and color detection. The size of the insect is obtained through edge detection, the activity of the insect is obtained through motion detection, and the degree of molting of the insect is obtained through color detection. The management server uses the built-in feed feeding optimization algorithm to analyze the insect status and the insect mass collected by the weighing device 5 to obtain the optimal feeding amount. The automatic feeder 7 feeds the breeding box 3 according to the optimal feeding amount. The management server uses the built-in breeding box position optimization algorithm to analyze the insect status and environmental information to obtain the optimal position of the three-dimensional placement rack.

[0044] The breeding box 3 placed on the three-dimensional placement frame 1 is transmitted to the ring belt conveyor 4 through the docking module for assembly line operation. After passing through the camera 6, weighing device 5 and automatic feeder 7 in sequence, it is transmitted back to the optimal position of the three-dimensional placement frame through the docking module specified by the management server.

[0045] The present application also discloses a breeding method using the above-mentioned intelligent three-dimensional production system for insect breeding, such as Figure 4 As shown, the breeding method comprises the following steps:

[0046] Step 1: Place a batch of insect larvae of equal mass in each breeding box 3 , and place the breeding box 3 on a three-dimensional placement rack 1 .

[0047] After obtaining the initial mass of insects in each breeding box through the weighing device 5, the mass is recorded in the corresponding breeding box number in the management server, and the breeding boxes 3 are placed on the three-dimensional placement rack 1 in sequence through the endless belt conveyor 4 and the docking module.

[0048] Step 2: According to the growth habits of insects, the management server regularly takes out the breeding boxes that need to be fed through the docking module and transmits them to the ring belt conveyor 4 for assembly line operation.

[0049] Specifically, when preparing to start the assembly line operation, during the process of the breeding boxes being shipped out of the warehouse: the breeding boxes 3 placed on the three-dimensional placement rack 1 are transferred to the stacker 10 through the second rolling belt, and are transferred to the corresponding second docking track 9 through the vertical lifting track 101, the first docking track 8 and the first rolling belt. After opening the gate 901, they enter the circular belt conveyor 4 for assembly line operation. At the same time, the stacker 10 starts the vibration motor, and the insect feces and residual feed in the breeding boxes 3 fall into the collection box through the mesh structure as fertilizer. When the collection is full, it can be sold externally or used internally. After the breeding boxes 3 are shipped out of the warehouse, only insects are retained in the boxes.

[0050] Step 3: When the breeding box 3 reaches under the camera 6, the endless belt conveyor 4 pauses, and the management server uses the built-in machine vision algorithm to analyze the insect image in the breeding box captured by the camera 6 to obtain the insect status. At the same time, the breeding box number is determined through the QR code captured by the camera 6 and recorded in the management server, and the endless belt conveyor 4 continues to transmit.

[0051] When the breeding box is in the automated assembly line system, the camera 6 collects the QR code of the breeding box and transmits it to the management server. The management server records the insect status and environmental information of the breeding box according to the acquired breeding box number.

[0052] Step 4: When the breeding box 3 reaches the weighing device 5, the ring belt conveyor 4 is paused, and the weighing device 5 sends the current insect mass collected to the management server. The management server compares the current insect mass with the insect mass of the previous round, obtains the insect growth status and records it in the corresponding breeding box number, and the ring belt conveyor 4 continues to transmit.

[0053] Step 5: When the breeding box 3 reaches the bottom of the automatic feeder 7, the endless belt conveyor 4 is suspended, and the management server analyzes the insect status and insect growth conditions through the built-in feed feeding optimization algorithm to obtain the optimal feeding amount. The automatic feeder 7 feeds the breeding box 3 according to the optimal feeding amount, and records the optimal feeding amount in the corresponding breeding box number, and the endless belt conveyor 4 continues to transmit.

[0054] First, the insect state is used to distinguish whether the insect is in the larval or adult stage. If the insect is in the larval stage, the optimal feeding amount is obtained through y=n×m to ensure the rapid growth of the larvae, where y is the optimal feeding amount, n is the breeding coefficient of the current insect species, and m is the current insect mass. If the insect is in the adult stage, the optimal feeding amount is obtained through y=a×mb, and the feed amount is gradually reduced, where a and b are the breeding coefficients of the current insect species. Specifically, the breeding coefficient is determined by the breeding technology of different insects, and the breeding coefficients of different insect adults and larvae are also different. When the growth of the insect adult meets m=b / a, the automatic feeder 7 stops feeding, and reminds the management server to harvest the adults that meet the factory requirements.

[0055] Step 6: The management server analyzes the insect status and environmental information collected by the environmental monitoring sensor system through the built-in breeding box position optimization algorithm to obtain the optimal position of the three-dimensional placement rack. The breeding box 3 is transmitted back to the optimal position of the three-dimensional placement rack through the docking module specified by the management server.

[0056] Step 601: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, according to the insect breeding technology, the optimal environmental parameters for insects during the growth stage are determined as temperature T Q 、Humidity Q , illuminance L Q 、Oxygen concentration O Q and harmful gas concentration G Q .

[0057] Step 602: Initialize parameter weights and distribute them evenly, including setting:

[0058] Step 603: The measured environmental parameters of the breeding box in the grid corresponding to the three-dimensional placement rack before leaving the warehouse are temperature t n 、Humidity n , illuminance n , oxygen concentration o n and harmful gas concentration g n .

[0059] Step 604: Pass

[0060] variety n =c×(T Q -t n )+d×(H Q -h n )+e×(L Q -l n )+f×(O Q -o n )+g×(G Q -g n) calculates the environmental quality deviation of each grid in the stereoscopic placement rack, where variety n is the environmental quality deviation, c, d, e, f, g are parameter weights.

[0061] Step 605: When the breeding box 3 is put into storage, it is placed in the empty grid with the smallest environmental quality deviation in the three-dimensional placement rack 1.

[0062] When the breeding box is put into storage: after determining the optimal position of the breeding box on the three-dimensional placement rack, the management server sends the optimal position instruction to the two-dimensional code scanner 11 and the stacker 10. The two-dimensional code scanner 11 sequentially scans the two-dimensional code of the breeding box 3 and determines whether the breeding box 3 passes through the current fork channel. If it passes, the gate 901 is opened. The stacker 10 moves to the corresponding horizontal position of the three-dimensional placement rack 1 through the first docking track 8 according to the optimal position instruction, and then moves to the corresponding vertical position of the three-dimensional placement rack 1 through the vertical lifting track 101. The conveyor belt motor controls the steering of the first rolling belt to transfer the breeding box 3 to the optimal position of the three-dimensional placement rack 1 (that is, the empty grid with the smallest environmental quality deviation). If it does not pass, the gate 901 is closed, and the breeding box 3 is transferred to the next two-dimensional code scanner 11 through the endless belt conveyor 4 for scanning and judgment until it reaches the fork channel corresponding to the optimal position. Steps 601-605 are based on the greedy algorithm and realize the optimization of the position allocation of the breeding box in the empty grid of the three-dimensional placement rack.

[0063] Step 606: After all the breeding boxes 3 have gone through a round of storage, the linear programming algorithm is used to optimize and adjust the parameter weights. The optimization function is: And satisfy the constraints Solve the weights of each parameter when the optimization function F is at its minimum value, and update the environmental quality deviation of each grid for the optimal position of the next round of stereoscopic placement rack 1. When the next round of breeding boxes enter the warehouse, re-execute the measured environmental parameters of the breeding boxes in the grid corresponding to the stereoscopic placement rack before leaving the warehouse, which are temperature t n 、Humidity n , illuminance n , oxygen concentration o n and harmful gas concentration g n step, that is, step 603.

[0064] Step 7: The management server analyzes environmental information through a built-in environmental feedback adjustment algorithm and controls the environmental control device to meet the average requirements of the insect growth environment. The control goal is to minimize the sum of the variance values ​​of the environmental parameters of all grids of the three-dimensional placement rack 1 and the required optimal environmental parameters corresponding to the breeding box 3.

[0065] The environmental feedback adjustment algorithm is based on the PID control algorithm, and its flow chart is as follows: Figure 6As shown in the figure, taking temperature feedback adjustment as an example, the feedback adjustment of other environmental parameters is consistent with the temperature feedback adjustment. Assuming that the sampling interval of the temperature sensor is T, the actual environmental parameter of the nth grid at time kT is temperature t n (k), the optimal temperature required for the breeding box on each grid is The variance is The ideal situation is that the variance is zero. The purpose of using the incremental PID control algorithm is to make the variance approach zero. The calculated environmental adjustment increment is
