Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically a smart collection and marking control system and method for breeding duck eggs. Background Technology

[0002] With China's abundant poultry resources, the consumption of poultry products has been rising in recent years, promoting a new round of development in poultry farming. However, this has also exposed some problems, particularly the slow progress in breeding selection of breeding ducks, which is a major issue facing the duck breeding industry. Currently, the monitoring of individual production performance parameters of breeding ducks in net-bed farming mainly relies on manual methods: several female breeding ducks are labeled with different numbers or colors. Every day before laying eggs, the breeder checks the eggs of each female breeding duck, placing those with eggs into their corresponding nests. After laying, they are released, and each egg is marked with its parent generation number and date. During incubation, eggs from the same breed of duck are incubated together, and the fertilization rate and hatching rate of each female breeding duck are recorded. Manually recording the egg-laying situation of each female breeding duck and the parent generation of each chick allows for the rational optimization of individual breeding duck selection through the analysis of these records. However, this approach not only consumes a lot of time and energy, but also the individual information collected is highly subjective, making it difficult to accurately, stably and continuously record the correspondence between hatching eggs and breeding ducks. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes an intelligent collection and marking control system for breeding duck eggs, which realizes intelligent collection and marking of eggs and solves the problems of low accuracy and efficiency of manual collection and marking of eggs.

[0004] The technical solution for achieving the purpose of this invention is as follows: an intelligent collection and marking control system for breeding duck eggs, characterized in that it includes a hardware layer, an execution layer, a control layer, and a system layer; the hardware layer is assigned by the execution layer to complete the specific work of collecting and marking eggs and simultaneously sends the collected information to the control layer; the execution layer is connected to the control layer at its upper end and transmits the commands of the control layer to the hardware layer at its lower end; the control layer processes the information from the hardware layer and sends it to the system layer at its upper end; the system layer stores the data of the entire system and provides a human-computer interaction platform for users.

[0005] The execution layer includes an egg-laying identification module, an egg-transporting module, and an egg-marking module. The egg-laying identification module is used to monitor and determine whether the breeding ducks entering the egg-laying box are laying eggs and to record the identity information of the breeding ducks entering the egg-laying box. The egg-transporting module is used to transport and deliver the eggs. The egg-marking module is used to mark the parent generation data information of the eggs with an inkjet printer.

[0006] A method for intelligent collection and marking control of breeding duck eggs, characterized by the following specific steps:

[0007] Step 1: The lower-level machine is powered on, and the control system starts.

[0008] Step 2: Determine whether any breeding ducks have entered the laying box;

[0009] The breeding duck infrared sensor determines whether a breeding duck has entered the egg-laying box. If a breeding duck is present, it sends a sensing signal to activate the breeding duck identification sensor, which reads the electronic tag on the duck's leg and sends the duck's identification information to the breeding duck egg-laying monitoring system module in the control layer. If no duck is present, the system returns to the initial working state of the breeding duck infrared sensor.

[0010] Step 3: Determine if there are hatching eggs;

[0011] The hatching egg infrared sensor is used to identify whether the breeding duck has laid eggs. If it has, the switch of the egg outlet of the laying box is opened, allowing the hatching egg to fall onto the hatching egg buffer conveyor belt. The hatching egg buffer conveyor belt then transports the hatching egg to outside the laying box area. The breeding duck egg laying monitoring system module uses data algorithms to organize the identification information of the breeding duck and sends it to the hatching egg traceability system module and the main database. If there is no information, the system returns to the initial working state of the breeding duck infrared sensor.

[0012] Step 4, collecting and marking hatching eggs;

[0013] The egg positioning conveyor chain connects to the end of the egg buffer conveyor belt, and conveys the eggs one by one to the bottom of the marking nozzle. When the photoelectric sensor detects the passing of the egg, the inkjet printer host sprays the identification information of the breeding poultry (parent generation) corresponding to the egg onto the surface of the egg through the marking nozzle.

[0014] The significant advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are:

[0015] (1) This invention coordinates all work tasks through the system layer, receives and schedules operation instructions for the work tasks to the execution layer, and executes the operation instructions to the hardware layer, thereby completing the intelligent collection and marking of breeding duck eggs in net bed farming, reducing the labor intensity of manual breeding of ducks.

[0016] (2) The present invention is equipped with a breeding duck egg production monitoring system module. The data cleaning algorithm with adaptive time threshold is used to clean the breeding duck identity information data collected by the egg production identification module in time to obtain the parent generation identity data information corresponding to each egg. The final data can accurately correspond to the corresponding breeding duck, which improves the accuracy of individual breeding duck selection and reduces the breeding cost of breeding ducks.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The scope of protection of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, the embodiments. A smart collection and marking control system for breeding duck eggs includes a hardware layer, an execution layer, a control layer, and a system layer.

[0023] The hardware layer includes a breeding duck infrared sensor, a breeding duck identification sensor, a hatching egg infrared sensor, an egg outlet switch in the egg-laying box, a hatching egg buffer conveyor belt, a hatching egg positioning conveyor chain, an inkjet printer host, photoelectric sensors, and marking nozzles;

[0024] Infrared sensors for breeding ducks are used to monitor whether they enter the laying box. The breeding duck identification sensor uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) to read the identity information of the electronic tags fixed to the ducks' legs and transmits the information to the breeding duck egg-laying monitoring system module in the control layer. Infrared sensors for hatching eggs are used to identify whether the breeding ducks are laying eggs. These sensors generate a signal to open the egg outlet switch in the laying box and activate the egg buffer conveyor belt and egg positioning conveyor chain. When the outlet switch opens and the egg falls onto the egg buffer conveyor belt, it is conveyed to the egg positioning conveyor chain for positioning and further conveyed to the marking nozzle of the egg marking module. When the photoelectric sensor detects the egg passing by, the inkjet printer sprays the identification information of the corresponding breeding poultry onto the egg surface through the marking nozzle.

[0025] The execution layer includes an egg-laying identification module, an egg-transporting module, and an egg-marking module. The egg-laying identification module monitors whether the breeding ducks entering the laying box are laying eggs and records the ducks' identification information. The egg-transporting module transports the eggs. The egg-marking module marks the parent generation data on the eggs using an inkjet printer. The egg-laying identification module includes four sets of sensor systems in the hardware layer, each set consisting of a breeding duck infrared sensor, a breeding duck identification sensor, and a breeding egg infrared sensor. The egg-transporting module includes four egg-outlet switches for the laying boxes, an egg buffer conveyor belt, and an egg positioning conveyor chain in the hardware layer. The egg-marking module includes an inkjet printer, a photoelectric sensor, and a marking nozzle; the photoelectric sensor and marking nozzle are fixed to a bracket.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the egg collection process of the intelligent collection and marking control system for breeding duck eggs is as follows: the three modules of the execution layer are interconnected and cooperate with each other. In the egg identification module, when the breeding duck infrared sensor senses that a breeding duck has entered the egg-laying box, it activates the breeding duck identification sensor, which reads the identity data information on the electronic leg band worn by the breeding duck. When the egg infrared sensor senses that there is a hatching egg, its signal output terminal sends a sensing signal to the egg outlet switch of the egg-laying box in the egg-transfer module to control its opening and closing. When the egg outlet switch is activated, the egg buffer conveyor belt and the egg positioning conveyor chain are activated simultaneously. The egg buffer conveyor belt and the egg positioning conveyor chain transmit the hatching eggs at a speed ratio of 1.5 to 1. When the hatching egg is transmitted to the photoelectric sensor of the egg marking module, the photoelectric sensor sends a sensing signal to the inkjet printer host. The inkjet printer host sends the breeding duck data information collected by the breeding duck identification sensor to the marking nozzle, and finally completes the marking operation of the hatching eggs.

[0027] The control layer is a programmable control module, including a breeding duck egg production monitoring system module and a hatching egg traceability system module. The breeding duck egg production monitoring system module receives the breeding duck identification information read by the breeding duck identification sensors in the hardware layer. It uses an adaptive time threshold data cleaning algorithm to delete duplicate readings of breeding duck identification information as redundant data, and finally, after data processing and filtering, stores it in the system layer's data processing module. The hatching egg traceability system module, based on the sensing information from the hatching egg infrared sensors, clears the data of non-laying breeding ducks from the breeding duck egg production monitoring system module, filters out the identification information of laying ducks, stores it in the dynamic database of the data processing module, and sends it to the inkjet printer host in the hardware layer, thus achieving a one-to-one correspondence between breeding ducks and hatching eggs.

[0028] The system layer includes a central system module and a data processing module. The central system module coordinates all work tasks, while the data processing module connects to the central system module and provides the data space required for its operation. The data processing module is connected to the programmable control module, and the breeding duck egg production monitoring system module provides data support for the data processing module.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, a control method for an intelligent collection and marking control system for breeding duck eggs includes the following specific steps:

[0030] Step 1: The lower-level machine is powered on, and the control system starts.

[0031] Step 2: Determine whether any breeding ducks have entered the laying box;

[0032] The breeding duck infrared sensor determines whether a breeding duck has entered the egg-laying box. If a breeding duck is present, it sends a sensing signal to activate the breeding duck identification sensor, which reads the electronic tag on the duck's leg and sends the duck's identification information to the breeding duck egg-laying monitoring system module in the control layer. If no duck is present, the system returns to the initial working state of the breeding duck infrared sensor.

[0033] Step 3: Determine if there are hatching eggs;

[0034] The hatching egg infrared sensor is used to identify whether the breeding duck has laid eggs. If it has, the switch of the egg outlet of the laying box is opened, allowing the hatching egg to fall onto the hatching egg buffer conveyor belt. The hatching egg buffer conveyor belt then transports the hatching egg to outside the laying box area. The breeding duck egg laying monitoring system module uses data algorithms to organize the identification information of the breeding duck and sends it to the hatching egg traceability system module and the main database. If there is no information, the system returns to the initial working state of the breeding duck infrared sensor.

[0035] Step 4, collecting and marking hatching eggs;

[0036] The egg positioning conveyor chain connects to the end of the egg buffer conveyor belt, and conveys the eggs one by one to the bottom of the marking nozzle. When the photoelectric sensor detects the passing of the egg, the inkjet printer host sprays the identification information of the breeding poultry (parent generation) corresponding to the egg onto the surface of the egg through the marking nozzle.

[0037] like Figure 4The diagram shows the component module wiring diagram of an intelligent collection and marking control system for breeding duck eggs. It includes four parallel egg outlet switch motors, four parallel egg infrared sensors, four parallel duck identification sensors, four parallel duck infrared sensors, a microcontroller, and an L9110S four-channel DC motor driver. The signal ports of the duck infrared sensors, duck identification sensors, and egg infrared sensors are connected to the serial port of the microcontroller. The egg outlet switch motors are connected to the L9110S four-channel DC motor driver, and the signal terminals of the L9110S four-channel DC motor driver are also connected to the serial port of the microcontroller. The four DC motors work collaboratively with the egg infrared identification sensors through the L9110S motor driver and the microcontroller. When the egg infrared identification sensor sends a sensing signal to the microcontroller, the microcontroller sends a working command signal to the corresponding signal input terminal of the L9110S motor driver. The L9110S motor driver ultimately controls the corresponding numbered motor to open and close the egg outlet switch of the egg-laying box. The signal output terminal of the breeding duck infrared sensor is connected to the microcontroller. When the breeding duck infrared sensor sends a sensing signal to the microcontroller, the breeding duck identification sensor begins to read the data information of the electronic leg band worn by the breeding duck and transmits the data to the microcontroller. The signal output terminal of the breeding duck identification sensor is connected to the communication port of the microcontroller through the RS485 bus.

[0038] like Figure 5 The diagram shows a human-computer interaction interface for an intelligent collection and marking control system for breeding duck eggs. Users can view the breeding duck identity data stored in the database through the interface.

Various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
