[0002] The existence of boars is to provide excellent paternal genes for commodity pigs, and the quality of boar semen determines the health of the pig population, and the healthy development of testis determines the quality of boar semen. In the management of boars, lack of exercise, being too fat or too thin will affect the healthy development of testis. It is usually required that boars exercise 1-2 times a day, each time for 30-60 minutes. The exercise time can be selected after morning feeding in the morning, before evening feeding in the afternoon, in the cool season in summer, and in the warm noon in winter. At present, there are usually two ways to drive boars to exercise, one is to artificially drive boars to exercise, and the other is to design a treadmill for boars to exercise on in turn.

[0035] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0036] 1. This invention enables multiple boars to exercise autonomously at the same time using equipment. The exercise state of each boar in the group can be appropriately adjusted during the exercise process to avoid excessive exercise and ensure the quality of exercise. After the exercise, each boar can be smoothly herded back to the pigsty. The process of herding each boar back to the pigsty has little impact on the exercise of other boars. Since multiple boars can exercise autonomously at a time, the exercise duration of the entire boar group is relatively short.

[0037] 2. This invention assigns different exercise distances to boars with different weights and testicular development characteristics, taking into account individual differences among boars and ensuring that each boar receives appropriate exercise. For boars at different starting points, the stopping position after completing the exercise is determined based on the boar's exercise distance. The maximum number of laps for the boar is determined based on the distance between the stopping position and the second infrared sensor, as well as the front-to-back position of the boar's corresponding pigpen and the second infrared sensor in the direction of movement. Since the second infrared sensor is located at the fourth electric gate to control its closing and drive the boar into the middle passage to enter the pigpen, this invention introduces the distance between the stopping position and the second infrared sensor, as well as the front-to-back position of the pigpen and the second infrared sensor, to ensure that when the boar is driven into the middle passage, it has completed the maximum number of laps, and its actual amount of exercise in the exercise area is neither too much nor too little.

[0038] 3. When grouping boars, if there are at least N categories with non-zero boar numbers, one boar is selected from each of the top N categories to form a group. If the number of remaining categories with non-zero boar numbers M is less than N, N / M is first calculated to obtain an integer P and a remainder Q. Then, P boars are selected from the remaining categories and placed in their respective groups. Finally, one boar is selected from each of the top Q categories to form a group. This minimizes the impact on other boars when boars are driven into the middle passage.

[0039] 4. In this invention, boars with more exercise laps are first placed in the exercise area and placed at the front of the self-driving team. In this way, the process of herding boars with fewer exercise laps into the middle channel will not affect the normal movement of the boars in front of them. For two adjacent boars with the same number of exercise laps, since the first infrared sensor is located behind the second infrared sensor and the conveyor belt is located behind the first infrared sensor, by controlling the conveyor belt to increase the distance between the two adjacent boars, it can be ensured that the boar in front of the two is successfully herded into the middle channel.

[0040] 4. The control terminal of this invention controls the conveyor belt according to the number of times the first infrared sensor detects the signal, so as to regulate the distance between each boar. In this way, the boar can have a certain rest time after running a lap. Furthermore, by adjusting the conveyor belt located in front of the second infrared sensor, it can be ensured that each boar can be smoothly driven into the middle channel.

[0041] 5. When the boar is about to finish moving, the present invention determines whether the previous boar has passed through the fourth electric gate based on the number of times the signal is detected by the second infrared sensor. After the previous boar passes through the fourth electric gate, the third and fourth electric gates are controlled to move so as to drive the boar smoothly to the middle channel.

[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, and to make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise specified and limited, it should be noted that the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection, or it can be a connection between two internal components. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above term according to the specific circumstances.

[0045] See Figure 1Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the regulation system for promoting the testis development of boars according to the present application. The regulation system for promoting the testis development of boars can include a regulation terminal 1 and a self-elimination race track 2 arranged around a pig farm. The race track 2 is provided with a first infrared sensor 31, a second infrared sensor 32 and a conveyor belt 4. The pig farm is composed of two rows of pig houses 5. Each pig house 5 is provided with a first electric door 6 facing the race track 2 and a second electric door 8 facing a middle passage 7 between the two rows of pig houses 5. The front end of the middle passage 7 is provided with a third electric door 9. The race track 2 is further provided with a fourth electric door 10 for preventing the boars from passing through. The fourth electric door 10 is located in front of the third electric door 9 along the movement direction of the boars. The first infrared sensor 31 is arranged in front of the conveyor belt 4. The second infrared sensor 32 is arranged at the fourth electric door 10. The rear end of the middle passage 7 is provided with a fifth switch door 11. In the initial state, each first electric door 6, second electric door 8, third electric door 9 and fifth switch door 11 is in a closed state, and the fourth electric door 10 is in an open state, thus forming a closed self-elimination race track.

[0046] The regulation terminal 1 is connected with the first infrared sensor 31, second infrared sensor 32, conveyor belt 4, each first electric door 6, each second electric door 8, third electric door 9 and fourth electric door 10, respectively. According to the physical signs of each boar, the regulation terminal 1 determines the movement lap count value of each boar with respect to the second infrared sensor 32, and groups the boars according to the movement lap count value. When starting the movement, the regulation terminal 1 opens each first electric door 6 in sequence according to the movement lap count value of each boar in the group, so that the boars in the group simultaneously run in the self-elimination race track 2. During the movement of the boars, the regulation terminal 1 controls the movement of the conveyor belt 4 according to the signal detected by the first infrared sensor 31, so as to regulate the distance between the boars and adjust the movement state of the boars. When the corresponding boar finishes the movement, the regulation terminal 1 controls the third electric door 9 to open and the fourth electric door 10 to close according to the signal detected by the second infrared sensor 32 after the previous boar passes through the fourth electric door 10, so that the boar enters the middle passage 7 through the third electric door 9, and the second electric door 8 of the corresponding pig house of the boar is opened, so that the boar accurately enters the pig house.

[0047] In this embodiment, a sixth door 12 may be provided on the outside of the exercise area 2, directly opposite the fifth door 11. The handler enters the exercise area 2 by opening the sixth door 12 and then opens the fifth door 11 to enter the intermediate passage 7. Each pigsty may also be equipped with a driving device (not shown in the figure) connected to the control terminal 1 to drive the boar from its pigsty 5 to the exercise area 2. The intermediate passage 7 is also equipped with a driving device connected to the control terminal 1 to drive the boar from the intermediate passage 7 to the corresponding pigsty 5. The control system may also include a camera (not shown in the figure) connected to the control terminal 1. The control terminal 1 can track the boar entering the intermediate passage 7 based on the video information collected by the camera and control the corresponding driving device to drive the boar from the intermediate passage 7 to the corresponding pigsty 5.

[0048] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention, with the aid of the equipment, enables multiple boars to exercise autonomously at the same time, and the exercise state of each boar in the group can be appropriately adjusted during the exercise process to avoid excessive exercise and ensure the quality of exercise. After the exercise, each boar can be smoothly herded back to the pigsty, and the process of herding each boar back to the pigsty has little impact on the exercise of other boars. Since multiple boars can exercise autonomously each time, the exercise duration of the entire boar group is relatively short.

[0049] In addition, the present invention also provides a control method for the above-mentioned control system, wherein the control system can perform the following steps at the control terminal:

[0050] Step S110: Based on the locally stored physical characteristics of each boar in the pig farm, determine the number of laps counted by the second infrared sensor for each boar. Step S110 may include:

[0051] Step S111: For each boar in the pig farm, determine the boar's exercise distance based on its weight and testicular development characteristics stored locally.

[0052] Step S112: Based on the location of the pigsty corresponding to the boar in the pig farm stored locally, determine the location of the boar after it enters the exercise area from its pigsty and moves the determined distance; calculate the distance between the determined location and the second infrared sensor in the direction of movement.

[0053] Step S113: Determine whether the pigpen corresponding to the boar is located in front of or behind the second infrared sensor along the direction of movement. If it is in front, proceed to step S114; if it is behind, proceed to step S115.

[0054] Step S114, judging whether the calculated distance is less than half of the single lap distance of the race track, if yes, taking the result of rounding down (the moving distance / the single lap distance of the race track) as the moving lap count value of the boar for the second infrared sensor; otherwise, taking the result of rounding up (the moving distance / the single lap distance of the race track) as the moving lap count value of the boar for the second infrared sensor.

[0055] Step S115, judging whether the calculated distance is less than half of the single lap distance of the race track, if yes, taking the result of rounding up (the moving distance / the single lap distance of the race track) as the moving lap count value of the boar for the second infrared sensor; otherwise, taking the result of rounding down (the moving distance / the single lap distance of the race track) as the moving lap count value of the boar for the second infrared sensor, wherein the moving lap count value of the boar for the second infrared sensor is the maximum moving lap count of the boar. The present application assigns different moving distances to boars with different body weights and testicular development signs, considers individual differences of boars, and can ensure that each boar can obtain appropriate exercise. For boars located at different starting points, the stopping position of the boar after completing exercise is determined according to the moving distance of the boar, and the maximum moving lap count of the boar is determined according to the distance between the stopping position and the second infrared sensor and the front-back position relationship between the corresponding boar house of the boar and the second infrared sensor in the moving direction. Since the second infrared sensor is arranged at the fourth electric door for controlling the fourth electric door to close to drive the boar into the middle passage and then into the boar house, the present application introduces the distance between the stopping position and the second infrared sensor and the front-back position relationship between the boar house and the second infrared sensor, which can ensure that the boar has moved the maximum moving lap count when the boar is driven into the middle passage, and the actual moving amount of the boar in the race track will not be too large or too small.

[0056] Step S120, grouping the boars according to the moving lap count values of the boars.

[0057] The step S120 can include:

[0058] Step S121, classifying and counting the boars with the same moving lap count value.

[0059] Step S122, when selecting N boars as a group, first judging whether there are at least N boar categories with non-zero number of boars, if yes, determining the N categories with the highest number of boars, and then selecting one boar from each of the determined N categories as a group, and then reducing the number of boars in the determined N categories by 1 and returning to step S122; otherwise, performing step S123; N is a set integer greater than 1.

[0060] Step S123, determine the number M of the categories with the number of boars not being zero, M is an integer less than N, calculate N / M, obtain an integer P and a remainder Q, P and Q are integers, first select P boars from each of the remaining categories respectively and place them in the corresponding groups, and then reduce the number of boars in each of the remaining categories by P respectively; then determine the Q categories with the number of boars ranking in the front among the M remaining categories, select one boar from each of the determined Q categories respectively and place them in the group, and then reduce the number of boars in the determined Q categories by 1 respectively, and return to execute step S123. Before step S123, it can also include judging whether the sum of the number of boars in the M remaining categories is greater than or equal to N, if yes, execute step S123, otherwise, directly place all the boars in the M remaining categories in a group.

[0061] In the grouping of boars, when N boars are selected as a group, if there are at least N categories with the number of boars not being zero, one boar is selected from each of the N categories with the number of boars ranking in the front as a group, if the number M of the categories with the number of boars not being zero is less than N, first calculate N / M, obtain an integer P and a remainder Q, then select P boars from each of the remaining categories respectively and place them in the corresponding groups, and then select one boar from each of the Q categories with the number of boars ranking in the front among the remaining categories and place them in the group, so that the impact on other boars when the boars are driven into the middle passage can be minimized.

[0062] Step S130, for each group, according to the movement lap count values of the boars in the group, open the corresponding first electric doors in sequence one by one at the start of the movement, so that the boars in the group simultaneously run in the movement field in a self-gradual manner. In the movement direction, the first infrared sensor can be located behind the second infrared sensor, and the number of the conveyor belts is equal to the maximum number of boars in each group minus 1.

[0063] Among them, step S130 can include: for each group, according to the movement lap count values of the boars in the group in descending order, open the corresponding first electric doors in sequence one by one. The application first puts the boars with more movement laps into the movement field and ranks them in front of the self-gradual team, so that the process of driving the boars with fewer movement laps into the middle passage will not affect the normal movement of the boars in front of them. For two adjacent boars with the same number of movement laps, since the first infrared sensor is located behind the second infrared sensor and the conveyor belt is located behind the first infrared sensor, by controlling the conveyor belt to enlarge the distance between the two adjacent boars, it can be ensured that the boar in front of the two is successfully driven into the middle passage.

[0064] Step S140, during the movement of each boar, according to the signal detected by the first infrared sensor, the action of the conveyor belt in the movement field is controlled to regulate the distance between each boar, so as to adjust the movement state of each boar. The number of the conveyor belt is equal to the set number N of boars in each group minus 1. Wherein, the step S140 can include:

[0065] Step S141, when the first infrared sensor detects a signal for j*N1+i times, the control terminal controls the first to (N1-i) conveyor belts in the front-to-back movement direction to move backward synchronously, and after conveying for a set time, controls the first conveyor belt to stop conveying, j is an integer less than or equal to the maximum movement circle number count value of the second infrared sensor, and the initial value is 0, N1 is the actual number of boars in the group, i is an integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to N1, and the initial value of i is 1;

[0066] Step S142, i++, and whether i is equal to N1 is judged, if yes, all the conveyor belts are controlled to stop conveying, j++ is executed, and step S143 is executed; otherwise, step S141 is returned to be executed;

[0067] Step S143, whether j is equal to the maximum movement circle number count value of the second infrared sensor is judged, if yes, all the conveyor belts are controlled to stop conveying, otherwise, step S141 is returned to be executed.

[0068] The control terminal of the present application controls the conveyor belt according to the number of times the first infrared sensor detects the signal, to regulate the distance between each boar, so that each boar can have a certain rest time after running a circle, and by adjusting the conveyor belt before the second infrared sensor, it can be ensured that each boar can be smoothly driven into the middle channel.

[0069] Step S150, when the corresponding boar is about to end the movement, according to the signal detected by the second infrared sensor, it is determined that the last boar passes through the fourth electric door, the third electric door is controlled to be opened, and the fourth electric door is controlled to be closed, so that the boar passes through the third electric door to enter the middle channel, and the second electric door of the boar corresponding to the pig house is controlled to be opened, so that the boar accurately enters the pig house. Wherein, the step S150 can include: step S151, for a corresponding group including N1 boars, when the second infrared sensor detects a signal for k*N1+i times, it means that the boar arranged in the i-th position at this time passes through the second infrared sensor, k is an integer, and N1 is an integer greater than 1;

[0070] Step S152, for the group, the terminal regulates the second infrared sensor detects the number of signals divided by N1, get integer k and the remainder i, the remainder i indicates the first i boar in the direction of the movement through the second infrared sensor, k indicates the first i boar in the direction of the movement of the number of movement, i is greater than 0 and less than or equal to N1 integer;

[0071] Step S153, for the first i boar in the direction of the movement, determine whether k is equal to the second infrared sensor for the boar movement count value h minus 1, if yes, when the second infrared sensor detects the number of signals is equal to h*N1+(i-1), that is, the last boar through the fourth electric door, control the third electric door open, the fourth electric door close, so that the boar through the third electric door into the intermediate channel, control the second electric door of the boar corresponding to the pig house open, so that the boar accurately into its pig house; Otherwise, return to step S153. The present application determines whether the last boar passes through the fourth electric door according to the number of signals detected by the second infrared sensor when the corresponding boar is about to end the movement, and controls the third electric door and the fourth electric door to act after the last boar passes through the fourth electric door, so as to successfully drive the boar to the intermediate channel.

[0072] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the first infrared sensor and the second infrared sensor can be installed at the same height as the body of the pig, and when the infrared sensor detects a signal for a period of time and then interrupts, it indicates that the infrared sensor detects one signal. After interrupting, it detects another signal when detecting a signal again. The width of the movement field should be insufficient for the boar to turn around and only move forward.

[0073] As can be seen from the above embodiment, the present application can realize the simultaneous autonomous movement of multiple boars by means of the device, and the movement state of each boar in the group during the movement can be properly adjusted to avoid excessive movement and ensure the movement quality. After the movement is completed, each boar can be successfully driven back to the pig house, and the process of each boar being driven back to the pig house has little impact on the movement of other boars. Since multiple boars can be autonomously moved each time, the movement duration of the entire boar group is relatively short.

[0074] Other embodiments of the application will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the application disclosed herein. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with the true scope and spirit of the application being indicated by the following claims.

[0075] It should be understood that the application is not limited to the precise construction which has been described above and which shown in the drawings, and that various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the application. The scope of the application should be controlled only by the appended claims.
