[0070] As shown in Figures 1-17 The present application provides an intelligent automatic feeding system, which comprises:
[0071] The feeding and weighing module comprises a feeding and weighing PLC, a pressure regulator, a vibrating disc and a weighing belt.
[0072] The weighing PLC is connected with the pressure regulator and the weighing belt, the pressure regulator is connected with the vibration disc control, and the weighing PLC can control the vibration amplitude of the vibration disc through the pressure regulator. The vibration disc is arranged below the opening of the silo, the outlet of the vibration disc is arranged above the weighing belt, and after the vibration disc is started, the bait falling from the opening of the silo onto the vibration disc can move on the vibration disc until the bait is transferred from the outlet of the vibration disc to the weighing belt. The weighing belt is a conveying belt with a weighing function, and a weight sensor is further arranged below the conveying belt. The weight sensor can obtain the weight of the bait currently located on the weighing belt. The conveying belt can drive the weighing belt through a transmission shaft after the weighing is completed, so that the bait on the weighing belt is transferred to other modules. The conveying belt is provided with anti-leakage baffles on both sides, so that the bait is prevented from leaking out from both sides of the conveying belt. In the embodiment, the maximum weight that can be weighed by the weighing belt is recorded as the upper limit weight of weighing.
[0073] The conveying module comprises a slow flow transfer unit, a fast flow transfer unit and a distribution unit.
[0074] The slow flow transfer unit comprises a flow transfer bin, a screw conveyor and a flow transfer motor.
[0075] The bait flowing out of the weighing belt is temporarily stored in the flow transfer bin. In the embodiment, the flow transfer bin comprises a funnel-shaped storage part and a hollow cylindrical discharge port arranged below the storage part, and the screw conveyor is arranged in the discharge port. The screw conveyor comprises a rotating shaft arranged vertically in the discharge port and a spiral blade arranged on the rotating shaft. The outer diameter of the spiral blade is matched with the inner diameter of the discharge port. The flow transfer motor is connected with the rotating shaft and can drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating screw conveyor can slowly transfer the bait in the flow transfer bin in batches from the discharge port.
[0076] The fast flow transfer unit comprises a fan, a blast pipe and a hose.
[0077] In the embodiment, the fan is a Roots fan. One end of the blast pipe is connected with the air outlet of the fan, the other end of the blast pipe is connected with one end of the hose, and the other end of the hose is connected with the distribution unit. The hose is the elbow pipe in the Figure 4 The blast pipe is further provided with a material receiving port with an upward opening, and the material receiving port is sealingly connected with the discharge port of the flow transfer bin. The screw conveyor arranged in the discharge port can slowly transfer the bait in batches from the discharge port and the material receiving port to the blast pipe, so that the bait can be effectively prevented from being abraded and broken. Meanwhile, the screw conveyor is also called a air lock in the embodiment, because the screw conveyor can prevent the air blown by the fan from directly entering the flow transfer bin through the material receiving port and the discharge port, so that the bait debris is effectively prevented from blocking other modules.
[0078] The distribution unit comprises a distribution PLC, a rotating motor, a rotating arm, a feeding pipe and a distribution disc.
[0079] In the embodiment, the distribution disc is a metal disc vertically arranged in a box, which is arranged in the box to avoid the bait from directly falling on the ground when the bait leaks due to an accident. The rotating motor is arranged on the metal disc, the distribution PLC is connected with the rotating motor for control, the output shaft of the rotating motor is perpendicular to the distribution disc, the distribution disc surrounds the rotating motor, a plurality of bait feeding openings in communication with the bait receiving pool and arranged in a circle are formed on the distribution disc, one end of the rotating arm is connected with the output shaft of the rotating motor, and the rotating motor rotates to drive the rotating arm to rotate, so that the other end of the rotating arm traverses the bait feeding openings one by one.
[0080] In the embodiment, the other end of the hose is connected with the bait feeding pipe, the bait feeding pipe is a metal joint arranged at the other end of the rotating arm, the rotating motor rotates to drive the bait feeding pipe fixed on the rotating arm to be matched with the bait feeding openings one by one, so that the hose is in communication with the bait feeding openings.
[0081] The total control module includes a total control PLC and a touch display unit. The total control PLC is connected with the weighing PLC, the flow rotating motor, the fan and the distribution PLC, and the touch display unit is connected with the total control PLC. The touch display unit is a human-computer interaction device with input and output functions, such as a touch display screen or a touch display mobile device, which can obtain the demand information of the user through the input mode.
[0082] The cloud module is a cloud platform connected with the total control PLC. The user can log in to the platform through a remote mode, such as a website address or an APP, and then input the demand information through the platform.
[0083] In the embodiment, the demand information is information set by the user in advance, which specifically includes a plurality of task group information. Each task group information includes a target pool number, a target weight and a bait blowing time. The relationship between the target pool numbers of adjacent two task groups is one of a mapping relationship and a non-mapping relationship. Specifically, when the mass of bait required by a certain pool is greater than the upper limit weight of the weighing belt, the user can divide the mass of bait required by the pool into two parts and configure them in two task group information when configuring the demand information, that is, the problem of single bait feeding exceeding the weight is solved by feeding the bait twice, and the target pool numbers in the two task group information have a mapping relationship, so the system does not need to switch the distributor between the two feeding tasks corresponding to the two task group information. In the actual process, assuming that there are only 30 actual bait receiving pools, when the target weight of the bait receiving pool numbered 15 is greater than the upper limit weight, the demand bait of the pool numbered 15 can be configured in the 15th task group and the 16th task group, so that the system needs to execute 31 groups of tasks in total to cover 30 bait receiving pools.
[0084] Conversely, if the relationship between the target pool numbers of the two adjacent task groups is a non-mapping relationship, the system needs to switch the distributor between the two feeding tasks corresponding to the two task group information.
[0085] In addition, the demand information can also correspond to an expected working time, which is a future time. Both the cloud platform and the touch display unit can send the demand information to the general control PLC immediately, and can also send the demand information to the general control PLC at the expected working time.
[0086] In the embodiment, the touch display unit includes a system desktop, and the system desktop is provided with a plurality of function menus, including:
[0087] The engineering debugging feeding menu is clicked to enter the engineering debugging feeding page, and is used to set the demand information.
[0088] The parameter setting menu is clicked to enter the parameter setting page, and is used to one-key set the blowing speed and blowing time, and is also used to set the expected working time.
[0089] The engineering debugging manual menu is clicked to enter the engineering debugging manual page, and is used for the customer to manually perform the whole set of weighing and flow feeding process of the bait.
[0090] The cloud platform includes a cloud desktop, and the cloud desktop is provided with a plurality of function menus including a pipeline configuration menu, a historical feeding menu, an instant feeding menu and a timing feeding menu.
[0091] The pipeline configuration menu is clicked to enter the pipeline configuration page, and the pipeline configuration page is used to configure the fan speed of each receiving pool feeding and the blowing time in the demand information on the cloud platform.
[0092] The historical feeding menu is clicked to enter the historical feeding detail page, and the historical feeding page is used for the user to view the feeding situation of each receiving pool. The user can also click the “detail” menu on this page to enter the pipeline feeding record detail page to view the historical feeding details of a single receiving pool.

The user can also enter the instant grouping detail page by clicking the “detail” menu in this page to configure the target weight in the demand information.
[0094] The timing feeding menu is clicked to enter the timing feeding grouping page, and the timing feeding grouping page is used for the user to set the batch of feeding. The user can also enter the timing grouping detail page by clicking the “detail” menu in this page to configure the target weight in the demand information.
[0095] Further, the rapid flow transfer unit further comprises a detection module, which is arranged between the air outlet of the fan and the receiving port. In the embodiment, the detection module comprises an air pressure sensor and an air flow sensor, both of which are connected to the general control PLC. The air pressure sensor can obtain the air pressure in the air supply pipe, and the general control PLC can issue a warning when the air pressure in the air supply pipe is too high or too low, thereby ensuring the safety of the system. The air flow sensor can obtain the air flow in the air supply pipe, and the general control PLC can issue a warning when the air flow in the air supply pipe is too high or too low, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the feeding process.
[0096] The rapid flow transfer unit further comprises a cooler, which is arranged between the air outlet of the fan and the detection module, for example, a heat dissipation box arranged between the air outlet and the detection module. The heat dissipation box is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins arranged along the blowing direction, which can be in contact with the air blown by the Roots fan. The part of the heat dissipation fins located outside the heat dissipation box is connected to the heat dissipation fan, so that the heat dissipation fan can quickly remove the heat of the heat dissipation fins. The cooler is connected to the general control module. The cooler can cool the air blown out of the air outlet of the fan, so as to avoid the contact between the overheated air and the bait, thereby avoiding the damage to the quality of the bait.
[0097] In the embodiment, the system desktop further comprises an alarm browsing menu and a state monitoring menu. The warnings issued by the general control PLC are recorded on the alarm browsing page, and the user can click the alarm browsing menu to enter the alarm browsing page to check.

[0099] Step S1, the system is powered on and initialized;
[0100] Step S2, the general control PLC determines whether there is demand information from the self-touch display unit or the cloud module. If there is, the process proceeds to step S3, otherwise, the process returns to step S2;
[0101] Step S3, the general control PLC initializes each module and starts the cooler, and the process proceeds to step S4;
[0102] Step S4, the total control PLC judges whether the distributor finds the initial numbered feeding port, if yes, the Roots blower is opened to work at 4hz frequency and the flow rotation motor is opened to work at 8hz frequency, and step S5 is entered; otherwise, the total control PLC commands the distribution PLC to restore the distributor, and step S4 is repeated;
[0103] Step S5, the total control PLC sends the target pool number to the distribution PLC, the distribution PLC judges whether the current feeding pipe is at the corresponding feeding port of the target pipe according to the target pool number, if yes, step S6 is entered; otherwise, the total control PLC rotates the feeding pipe to the corresponding feeding port through the distribution PLC, and step S6 is entered again;
[0104] Step S6, the total control PLC adjusts the working frequency of the Roots blower to the preset target frequency;
[0105] Step S7, the total control PLC sends the start command and the target weight to the flow rotation weighing PLC, and the system weighs according to the weighing process until the weighing is completed, and step S8 is entered;
[0106] Step S8, the total control module judges the relationship between the target pool number and the last target pool number;
[0107] If it is a mapping relationship or there is no last target pool number, the bait is flowed to the conveying module by the weighing belt, and step S9 is entered;
[0108] If it is a non-mapping relationship, the total control module sends the target pool number to the distribution unit, the distribution unit matches the conveying module and the receiving pool according to the target pool number, the bait is flowed to the conveying module by the weighing belt, and step S9 is entered;
[0109] Step S9, the total control PLC adjusts the working frequency of the Roots blower to 0 and judges whether there is remaining task group information;
[0110] If yes, the total control module controls the conveying module to feed the bait to the corresponding receiving pool according to the target pool number, and step S7 is entered; meanwhile, the total control module controls the conveying module to feed the bait to the corresponding receiving pool;
[0111] If no, the total control module directly controls the conveying module to feed the bait to the corresponding receiving pool according to the target pool number, and step S10 is entered;
[0112] Step S10, the total control PLC initializes the system, closes the flow rotation motor and the Roots blower, and step S11 is entered;
[0113] Step S11, the total control PLC judges whether the temperature in the current air supply pipe is less than the preset temperature according to the temperature sensor, if yes, the cooler is closed, and the system operation is ended; otherwise, step S11 is repeated.
[0114] Further, the preset mode comprises the following steps:
[0115] S101, the feeding and weighing PLC controls the vibration disc to vibrate at the maximum amplitude to make the bait flow out through the pressure regulator;
[0116] S102, the feeding and weighing PLC compares the real-time weight of the bait with the fine adjustment threshold value, if the real-time weight is greater than the fine adjustment threshold value, step S103 is entered; otherwise, step S101 is entered; in the embodiment, the fine adjustment threshold value is determined by the percentage of the target weight pre-configured by the user, for example, 90% of the target weight is set as the fine adjustment threshold value, so that the user can configure the specific gravity as 90%.
[0117] S103, the feeding and weighing PLC controls the vibration amplitude of the vibration disc to make the bait flow out through the pressure regulator PID, at this time, the vibration amplitude of the vibration disc is inversely proportional to the ratio of the real-time weight to the target weight, the higher the ratio of the real-time weight to the target weight, the smaller the vibration amplitude of the vibration disc, and the less the bait flows out;
