Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of animal behavior analysis technology, specifically to an animal behavior analysis device and analysis method. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, the number of chickens raised has increased, and the technology and quality of chicken farming have also improved. Currently, there are various methods for analyzing animal behavior, such as photoelectric detection analysis, infrared detection analysis, thermal imaging detection analysis, ultrasonic detection analysis, and video recognition. Analyzing chicken behavior can more effectively improve chicken farming techniques.

[0003] Most existing chicken behavior analysis devices are not portable and are inconvenient to use. They also require staff to hold the devices and continuously track and detect the chickens to analyze their behavior data, which greatly reduces the efficiency of the staff.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an animal behavior analysis device and corresponding analysis methods to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an animal behavior analysis device and analysis method to solve the problems that existing chicken behavior analysis devices are inconvenient to carry and use, and require staff to use handheld devices to continuously track and detect chickens in order to analyze chicken behavior data, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] An animal behavior analysis device includes a behavior analysis carrying shell and a sealing cover. An animal behavior analysis control system is housed within the behavior analysis carrying shell. A storage box is slidably installed within the behavior analysis carrying shell, and a behavior tracker is detachably installed within the storage box. Restraint straps are fixed to both sides of the bottom of the behavior tracker, and the two restraint straps are respectively connected to mating female and female Velcro straps. The animal behavior analysis control system is connected to a control motherboard module and a signal receiving module. The control motherboard module is connected to an analysis control module and a behavior tracking module. The behavior tracking module is connected to the behavior analysis module. The signal receiving module is connected to a wireless connection module and a data transmission module.

[0008] Furthermore, the behavior analysis device has a first support rod rotatably mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the front end of the housing, and a second support rod rotatably mounted on the bottom of the sealing cover, which corresponds to the first support rod. The second support rod is rotatably connected to the corresponding first support rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the behavior analysis device has grooves on both inner walls at the rear end of the housing, and a slider that is slidably connected to the groove is fixed on the storage box.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the behavioral analysis carrier shell is fixed with four sets of support feet.

[0011] Furthermore, a storage groove is provided on the top surface of the sealing cap, and a handle is provided inside the storage groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the control motherboard module is connected to a positioning module, the signal receiving module is connected to a GPS module, the positioning module and the GPS module cooperate with each other, and the signal receiving module is connected to a behavior stabilization module that cooperates with the behavior tracking module.

[0013] Furthermore, the behavior analysis module is connected to the data analysis module, and the data analysis module is connected to the data statistics module.

[0014] Furthermore, the GPS module is connected to a positioning signal search module, which is connected to a signal transmission module. The signal transmission module is connected to a signal amplification module and an anti-interference module. The positioning signal search module and the signal transmission module are contained within the GPS module.

[0015] Furthermore, the data transmission module is connected to an information conversion module, and the data transmission module is connected to an information receiving module, with the information conversion module and the information receiving module connected inside the signal receiving module.

[0016] Based on the above-mentioned animal behavior analysis device, the present invention also provides an animal behavior analysis method, comprising the following steps:

[0017] Step 1: The staff attaches restraints to the chicken's body and uses the female and female Velcro straps to attach the behavior tracker. Then, the behavior tracker connects to the analysis and control module via a wireless connection module and uses the positioning module and GPS module to track and locate the chicken's position and monitor its behavior in real time.

[0018] Step 2: When the chicken is active, the behavior stabilization module stabilizes the behavior tracker to prevent it from shaking and causing instability in monitoring. The positioning module locates the animal's position using the GPS module, then searches for signals using the positioning signal search module to capture the animal's behavioral location information. The information conversion module then transmits the chicken's behavioral data to the behavior analysis module via the signal transmission module and the information receiving module. The behavior analysis module analyzes the chicken's behavior, and then the behavior tracking module continues to track and monitor the chicken's behavior.

[0019] Step 3: After analyzing the chicken's behavioral data through the data analysis module, the data statistics module is used to statistically analyze the behavioral data, making it easier for staff to observe and study the statistically analyzed chicken behavioral data.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. This invention uses a portable shell to easily carry the animal behavior analysis and control system and the behavior tracker to any location. The behavior tracker is then fixed to the chicken's body by using a combination of female and female Velcro straps. This replaces the need for staff to hold the device to track and detect the chicken, making it more convenient for staff to carry and use the equipment.

[0022] 2. This invention transmits chicken behavior data to an animal behavior analysis and control system via a wireless connection module and a data transmission module. The behavior is then analyzed by a behavior tracking module and a behavior analysis module, allowing staff to better study chicken habits, thereby improving the quality and quantity of chicken farming and increasing staff efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, an animal behavior analysis device includes a behavior analysis carrying shell 1 and a sealing cover 101. The bottom of the behavior analysis carrying shell 1 is fixed with four sets of support feet 4 for supporting the shell 1. An opening is provided at the top of the behavior analysis carrying shell 1, and the sealing cover 101 is positioned at the opening to close or open it. Specifically, first support rods 106 are rotatably mounted on the inner walls of both sides at the front end of the behavior analysis carrying shell 1. Second support rods 107, corresponding to the first support rods 106, are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the sealing cover 101. The second support rods 107 are rotatably connected to their corresponding first support rods 106. When the sealing cover 101 is opened, the first support rods 106 and second support rods 107 cooperate to rotate and support the sealing cover 101.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, a storage groove 5 is provided on the top surface of the sealing cover 101, and a handle 501 is rotatably installed inside the storage groove 5. The behavior analysis carrying case 1 is placed on a flat surface and supported by the support feet 4 to ensure stable placement. The handle 501 is rotated to a vertical position inside the storage groove 5, making it easier for the operator to carry the behavior analysis carrying case 1 by holding the handle 501.

[0033] To analyze chicken behavior, an animal behavior analysis and control system 102 and a storage box 103 are installed inside the behavior analysis carrying housing 1. A behavior tracker 104 is placed inside the storage box 103. Specifically, grooves 108 are formed on the inner walls of both sides at the rear end of the behavior analysis carrying housing 1. A slider 109 is fixed to the storage box 103 and slidably connected to the grooves 108. The sliding engagement of the slider 109 with the grooves 108 facilitates the pulling out or pushing of the storage box 103 into the behavior analysis carrying housing 1, thereby making it easy for staff to remove or insert the behavior tracker 104.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, restraint straps 105 are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the behavior tracker 104. The two restraint straps 105 are respectively connected to a female hook and loop fastener 6 and a female hook and loop fastener 601 that cooperate with each other. Through the adhesive cooperation of the female hook and loop fastener 6 and the female hook and loop fastener 601, the restraint straps 105 can be tied to the chicken's body, thereby fixing the behavior tracker 104 to the chicken's body.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the animal behavior analysis and control system 102 is connected to the control motherboard module 2 and the signal receiving module 3.

[0036] The control motherboard module 2 includes a positioning module 203. The control motherboard module 2 is connected to an analysis and control module 201 and a behavior tracking module 202. The behavior tracking module 202 is connected to a behavior analysis module 204 to analyze animal behavior. The positioning module 203 transmits location information via a GPS module 303. After receiving the animal's location information via an information receiving module 308, the analysis and control module 201 controls the behavior analysis module 204 to first analyze the animal's behavioral location information and then transmit the animal's behavioral information to the control motherboard module 2. The behavior analysis module 204 is connected to a data analysis module 205, which is connected to a data statistics module 206. The data analysis module 205 analyzes the chicken's behavioral data, and the behavior analysis module 204 transmits the analyzed animal behavioral data to the data statistics module 206. After the data statistics module 206 performs statistical analysis, the analyzed data can be displayed on the front-end monitor of the animal behavior analysis and control system 102 for easy observation and research by staff.

[0037] The signal receiving module 3 is located inside the behavior tracker 104. The signal receiving module 3 includes a GPS module 303. The positioning module 203 and the GPS module 303 work together to locate the behavior tracker 104, preventing the chicken from getting lost. The signal receiving module 3 is connected to a wireless connection module 301, which in turn is connected to a data transmission module 304 for data transmission. Figure 5As shown, the data transmission module 304 includes an information conversion module 307 and an information receiving module 308. The information conversion module 307 converts the chicken's behavioral information into wireless signals, which are then transmitted to the animal behavior analysis and control system 102 for analysis via the data transmission module 304 and the information receiving module 308. The GPS module 303 is connected to a positioning signal search module 305, which is connected to a signal transmission module 306. The positioning signal search module 305 searches for wireless signals, and the signal transmission module 306 transmits the chicken's behavioral information.

[0038] To ensure stable monitoring by the behavior tracker 104, the signal receiving module 3 is also connected to a behavior stabilization module 302. When the chickens are active, the behavior stabilization module 302 provides stable control over the behavior tracker 104 to prevent the movement of the behavior tracker 104 from causing instability in its monitoring.

[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, the signal transmission module 306 is connected to the signal amplification module 7 and the anti-interference module 701. The signal amplification module 7 amplifies the signal, and the anti-interference module 701 performs anti-interference processing on the emitted signal to avoid information loss due to interference from other signals.

[0040] In use, staff carry the animal behavior analysis and control system 102 and storage box 103 to a designated location via the behavior analysis carrying case 1. They then open the sealing cover 101, pull out the storage box 103, and remove the behavior tracker 104, which is then fixed to the chicken. The behavior tracker 104 connects to the analysis and control module 201 via the wireless connection module 301. The positioning module 203 and GPS module 303 track and locate the chicken's position, performing real-time data behavior monitoring. The positioning signal search module 305 searches for signals, and the information conversion module 307 transmits the chicken's behavior data to the behavior analysis module 204 via the signal transmission module 306 and information receiving module 308 for analysis. The analysis module 204 is included within the animal behavior analysis and control system 102. The animal behavior analysis and control system 102 stores the received analysis information, and the behavior analysis module 204 analyzes the chicken's behavior. The behavior tracking module 202 then continues to track and monitor the chicken's behavior.

[0041] The steps for using the above-mentioned animal behavior analysis device are as follows:

[0042] Step 1: First, the staff attaches the restraint strap 105 to the chicken's body. Then, the female Velcro 6 and the female Velcro 601 are used to attach the behavior tracker 104 to the chicken's body. Next, the behavior tracker 104 is connected to the analysis and control module 201 through the wireless connection module 301. The positioning module 203 and the GPS module 303 are used to track and locate the chicken's position and monitor its behavior in real time.

[0043] Step 2: When the chicken is active, the motion stabilization module 302 stabilizes the behavior tracker 104 to prevent the behavior tracker 104 from shaking due to the chicken's activity, which would cause the behavior tracker 104 to become unstable. After the positioning module 203 locates the animal's location information through the GPS module 303, it searches for signals through the positioning signal search module 305 to capture the animal's behavioral location information. Then, the information conversion module 307 transmits the chicken's behavioral data to the behavior analysis module 204 through the signal transmission module 306 and the information receiving module 308. The behavior analysis module 204 then analyzes the chicken's behavior and continues to track and monitor the chicken's behavior through the behavior tracking module 202.

[0044] Step 3: After analyzing the chicken's behavioral data using the data analysis module 205, the data statistics module 206 performs statistical analysis on the behavioral data, facilitating staff to observe and study the statistically analyzed chicken behavior data.

[0045] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
