Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] In order to solve the problem that the existing patent cannot determine the amount of feed required by the calf according to the calf's health status and physical energy consumption during actual use, and cannot ensure the balanced and accurate nutritional intake of the calf, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 , this embodiment provides the following technical solutions:

The mixing box 22 is installed on the mobile vehicle 1 through the support frame 24. The stirring assembly 21 is installed in the mixing box 22. The mixing chamber 25 is provided inside the mixing box 22. The heating chamber 26 is provided outside the mixing chamber 25. The feed port 23 is provided on the top of the mixing box 22. An electric heating wire is provided in the heating chamber 26. The electric heating wire is used to heat the feed to prevent the feed from clumping when the temperature is too low, which affects the stirring effect.

[0066] The stirring assembly 21 includes a first motor 211, a stirring rod 212, a scraper 213 and a stirring shaft 214. The output end of the first motor 211 is connected to the stirring shaft 214. The stirring rod 212 is fixed on the stirring shaft 214. The outer side of the stirring rod 212 is provided with a scraper 213. The scraper 213 can scrape the inner wall of the mixing chamber 25 to prevent the feed from sticking to the inner wall of the mixing chamber 25 during stirring, which not only causes waste of feed but also is difficult to clean. The scraper 213 contacts the inner wall of the mixing chamber 25. When in use, feed, water, and feed additives are put into the mixing chamber 25 through the feed inlet 23, and the first motor 211 is started to rotate the stirring shaft 214, thereby driving the stirring rod 212 to rotate, stirring the feed in the mixing chamber 25, and at the same time, the electric heating wire is energized to heat the feed.

[0067] The screw feeder 3 includes a solenoid valve 31, a feed pipe 32, a feed pipe 33, a screw feeding rod 34, a second motor 35 and a discharge port 36. The feed pipe 32 is installed at the bottom of the mixing box 22. The solenoid valve 31 is installed on the feed pipe 32. The bottom of the feed pipe 32 is installed on the feed pipe 33. A screw feeding rod 34 is installed in the feed pipe 33. The screw feeding rod 34 is installed at the output end of the second motor 35. The bottom of the feed pipe 33 is provided with a discharge port 36. When the feed mixing is completed, the solenoid valve 31 is opened to allow the feed to enter the feed pipe 33 through the feed pipe 32, and then the second motor 35 is started to rotate the screw feeding rod 34 to feed the feed in the feed pipe 33 to the calf through the discharge port 36. When the solenoid valve 31 records that the feeding amount of the feed reaches the feeding amount required by the calf, the solenoid valve 31 is closed.

[0068] Control management system, including:

[0069] The data collection chip is worn on the calf to collect the calf's health status and movement conditions, analyze the calf's physical exertion based on the calf's movement conditions, and locate the calf;

[0070] The data analysis module is used to calculate the amount of feed required for the calf based on the collected health status of the calf and the physical exertion of the calf, and to put the calculated amount of feed on the electronic tag worn by the calf.

[0071] Data acquisition chip, including:

[0072] The data collection module is used to collect the health status and exercise volume of the calf, and analyze the calf's physical exertion based on the calf's exercise volume;

[0073] A data matching module is used to receive the data collected by the data collection module and match the collected data with the corresponding calf;

[0074] The positioning module is used to locate the calf and formulate a driving route according to the calf's location, so as to facilitate finding the corresponding calf and avoid the situation where the calf farm is large and it takes a long time to find the calf, thus saving working time.

[0075] Specifically, the control management system further includes:

[0076] A real-time monitoring module, used to monitor in real time the positioning response time of the position data corresponding to the movement of the calf collected by the positioning module;

[0077] The positioning response time deviation coefficient acquisition module is used to obtain the positioning response time deviation coefficient according to the positioning response time of the position data of each movement of the positioning module; wherein the positioning response time deviation coefficient is obtained by the following formula:

[0078]

[0079] Where D represents the deviation coefficient of positioning response time; n represents the total number of positioning times corresponding to the positioning module; T i represents the positioning response time corresponding to the i-th positioning; T z represents the median positioning response time corresponding to n positionings; T p represents the average positioning response time corresponding to n positioning times; T y Indicates the maximum allowable positioning response time to meet the timeliness of positioning;

[0080] A coefficient comparison module, used to compare the positioning response time deviation coefficient with a preset coefficient threshold;

[0081] The abnormality determination module is used to retrieve the operating parameters of the positioning module and perform abnormality determination on the operating state of the positioning module when the positioning response time deviation coefficient exceeds a preset coefficient threshold.

[0082] The technical effect of the above technical solution is: through the real-time monitoring module, the movement of the calf and the corresponding position data can be tracked and monitored in real time to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of the data. The positioning response time deviation coefficient acquisition module can evaluate the performance of the positioning module, and quantify the stability and efficiency of the positioning response by calculating the deviation coefficient of the positioning response time. The positioning response time deviation coefficient is introduced as an evaluation indicator. This coefficient comprehensively considers the median, average and maximum allowable positioning response time of the positioning response time, and provides a more comprehensive performance evaluation. This evaluation method can better reflect the stability and reliability of the positioning module in practical applications than a single response time or success rate.

[0083] The combination of the coefficient comparison module and the abnormality judgment module can promptly detect abnormal conditions in the operation of the positioning module. When the positioning response time deviation coefficient exceeds the preset threshold, the system will actively retrieve the operating parameters of the positioning module and make an abnormality judgment, which will help to quickly locate the problem and take corresponding measures to reduce losses caused by inaccurate positioning or delayed response. Through the implementation of the above technical solutions, the reliability and efficiency of the positioning module and the entire control management system can be significantly improved. Real-time monitoring and exception handling mechanisms ensure the accuracy of the data and the stable operation of the system, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of application scenarios such as animal husbandry management and animal tracking.

[0084] In summary, this technical solution significantly improves the performance of the positioning module and the entire control management system through real-time monitoring, accurate performance evaluation, timely anomaly detection and processing, etc., providing more reliable and efficient technical support for application scenarios such as animal husbandry management and animal tracking.

[0085] Specifically, the abnormality determination module includes:

[0086] A data extraction module is used to extract the signal strength, battery power of the positioning module, signal interference strength and temperature of the positioning module corresponding to each positioning in the historical operation data of the positioning module;

[0087] The first determination coefficient acquisition module is used to obtain the first determination coefficient by using the signal strength and signal interference strength corresponding to each positioning in the historical operation data; wherein the first determination coefficient is obtained by the following formula:

[0088]

[0089] Among them, K 01 represents the first determination coefficient; n represents the total number of positioning times corresponding to the positioning module; S i represents the signal strength corresponding to the i-th positioning; S gi represents the signal interference strength corresponding to the i-th positioning; ε represents a small constant used to prevent the denominator from being zero; S ref Indicates the preset reference signal strength;

[0090] The second determination coefficient acquisition module is used to obtain the second determination coefficient by using the positioning module battery power and positioning module temperature corresponding to each positioning in the historical operation data; wherein the second determination coefficient is obtained by the following formula:

[0091]

[0092] Among them, K 02 represents the second determination coefficient; n represents the total number of positioning times corresponding to the positioning module; B i represents the battery power corresponding to the i-th positioning; B max Indicates the maximum capacity of the battery; T i represents the temperature of the positioning module corresponding to the i-th positioning; T ref Indicates the preset temperature reference value; w 01 and w 02 They are the weight values ​​corresponding to the battery power and positioning module respectively;

[0093] A comprehensive determination coefficient acquisition module is used to obtain a comprehensive determination coefficient using the first determination coefficient and the second determination coefficient; wherein the comprehensive determination coefficient is obtained by the following formula:

[0094] K=x·K 01 +y·K 02

[0095] Among them, K represents the comprehensive determination coefficient; K 01 represents the first determination coefficient; K 02represents the second determination coefficient; x and y represent the weight coefficients corresponding to the first determination coefficient and the second determination coefficient respectively;

[0096] The abnormality determination module is used to compare the comprehensive determination coefficient with a preset determination coefficient threshold. When the comprehensive determination coefficient is lower than the preset determination coefficient threshold, it is determined that the positioning module has an operation abnormality and an abnormality alarm is issued.

[0097] The technical effect of the above technical solution is that through the data extraction module, the system can fully extract the historical operation data of the positioning module, including key parameters such as signal strength, battery power, signal interference strength and temperature. These multi-dimensional data provide a rich information basis for subsequent abnormality judgment.

[0098] The signal strength and signal interference strength are used to effectively evaluate the impact of signal quality on positioning performance. The stability and accuracy of the formula are ensured by the preset reference signal strength (Sref) and the introduction of a small constant ε. The potential impact of hardware status on positioning performance is considered by combining battery power and temperature factors. The introduction of weight values ​​(w01 and w02) allows the relative importance of each factor to be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0099] Comprehensive determination coefficient (K): By integrating the first determination coefficient and the second determination coefficient and assigning them corresponding weight coefficients (x and y), the system can derive a determination coefficient that comprehensively reflects the operating status of the positioning module. This method takes into account both signal quality and hardware status, improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of abnormality determination. When the comprehensive determination coefficient is lower than the preset determination coefficient threshold, the system can automatically determine that the positioning module has an operating abnormality and issue an abnormality alarm. This automated abnormality detection mechanism helps to discover and solve problems in a timely manner, avoiding potential risks and losses.

[0100] Through the implementation of the above technical solutions, the system can monitor and evaluate the operating status of the positioning module in real time, detect potential problems in a timely manner and take corresponding measures. This helps to improve the reliability and stability of the entire system and ensure the accuracy and timeliness of positioning data. Parameters such as weight values ​​and determination coefficient thresholds in this technical solution can be adjusted and optimized according to actual needs, making the system highly flexible and scalable. In the future, with the continuous development of technology and the expansion of application scenarios, the system can easily adapt to new needs and challenges.

[0101] In summary, this technical solution significantly improves the anomaly detection capability of the positioning module and the overall performance of the system through comprehensive evaluation of multi-dimensional data, construction of accurate determination coefficients, comprehensive determination and anomaly detection.

The feeding system formulates the driving route of the mobile cart 1 according to the positioning of the calf, and then drives the mobile cart 1 according to the driving route to move the feeding system to the location of the calf. The electronic tag worn by the calf is scanned by the scanner 6 to identify the standard feeding amount of the calf. According to the standard feeding amount, the feed and water are mixed through the mixing component 2 on the feeding system. The mixed and stirred feed is heated by an electric heating wire. After heating, the solenoid valve 31 on the digestion device is opened, and the heated feed is fed to the calf through the spiral feeder 3, and is measured by the solenoid valve 31. When the standard feeding amount is reached, the solenoid valve 31 is controlled to stop feeding, which can accurately control the feeding amount of the calf, and at the same time can monitor the health status and physical energy consumption of the calf in real time, and can calculate the feeding amount required for the calf according to the changes in the health status and physical energy consumption of the calf, so as to achieve accurate feeding.

[0120] Working principle: When using the intelligent management system for the whole process of calf precise feeding of the present invention, according to Figure 1-Figure 5 , including the following steps:

[0121] Step 1: Install data collection chips and electronic tags on the calves, collect the calf's health status and exercise volume in real time through the data collection chips, and analyze the calf's physical exertion based on the calf's exercise volume;

[0122] Step 2: Calculate the standard feeding amount required for the calf according to the health status of the calf and the physical energy consumption of the calf, transmit the calculated standard feeding amount required for the calf to the electronic tag corresponding to the calf, locate the position of the calf through the positioning module, and formulate the driving route of the mobile vehicle 1 according to the positioning result;

[0123] Step 3: Control the host 4 to move the device to the calf feeding point according to the driving route, and use the scanner 6 to scan the electronic tag worn by the calf to identify the standard feeding amount of the calf;

[0124] Step 4: After identifying the standard feeding amount of the calf, feed, water, and feed additives are put into the mixing chamber 25 through the feed inlet 23, and the first motor 211 is started to rotate the stirring shaft 214, thereby driving the stirring rod 212 to rotate, stirring the feed in the mixing chamber 25, and at the same time, the electric heating wire is energized to heat the feed;

[0125] Step 5: After the feed is mixed, the solenoid valve 31 is opened to allow the feed to enter the feeding pipe 33 through the feeding pipe 32, and then the second motor 35 is started to rotate the spiral feeding rod 34 to feed the feed in the feeding pipe 33 to the calf through the discharge port 36. When the solenoid valve 31 records that the feeding amount of the feed reaches the feeding amount required by the calf, the solenoid valve 31 is closed.

[0126] In summary, the intelligent management system for the whole process of precise feeding of calves of the present invention can collect the health status of the calf and the physical exertion of the calf in real time by installing data acquisition chips and electronic tags on the calf, and then calculate the standard feeding amount required for the calf according to the health status of the calf and the physical exertion of the calf, and can understand the current state of the calf, and then feed the calf according to the current state, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the feeding amount calculation, locating the position of the calf through the positioning module, facilitating the finding of the corresponding calf, avoiding the situation that the calf farm is large and it takes a long time to find the position of the calf, and saving working time. The device can be moved to the calf feeding point by the mobile cart 1, and the calf can be fed. Automatic feeding does not require manual operation, saving manpower and material resources. The electronic tag worn by the calf is scanned by the scanner 6 to identify the standard feeding amount of the calf. According to the standard feeding amount, the feed, water, and feed additives are mixed and stirred through the mixing component 2 on the feeding system, and the calf is fed through the spiral feeder 3 and measured through the solenoid valve 31. When the standard feeding amount is reached, the solenoid valve 31 is controlled to stop feeding. The feeding amount of the calf can be accurately controlled, and the health status and physical energy consumption of the calf can be monitored in real time. The required feeding amount of the calf can be calculated according to the changes in the health status and physical energy consumption of the calf, so as to achieve accurate feeding and ensure the balanced and accurate nutritional intake of the calf.
