Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automated livestock breeding equipment, and in particular to a feeding device based on monitoring the remaining amount of feed boxes. Background Art

[0002] In related technologies, the feeding systems in large-scale rabbit houses generally adopt the same-batch precise feeding mode, that is, the same feeding time, feed type, and feeding amount control are executed for all rabbit cages in the same breeding unit. However, due to factors such as age, breed, and health status, rabbits have different nutritional requirements. Although the same-batch precise feeding mode can achieve the feeding accuracy at the batch level, it fails to monitor and obtain individual feeding behavior data, cannot dynamically identify and respond to the actual feeding demand differences of different rabbits, and cannot dynamically respond to adjust the feeding plan.

[0003] Therefore, a series of problems exist in the related feeding systems, which are specifically manifested as follows: In the scenario of mixed breeding of breeding female rabbits and fattening rabbits, high-metabolism individuals have insufficient nutrient intake due to the continuously low remaining amount of the feed box, while there is a risk of mildew due to feed accumulation in the cages of sick and weak rabbits. At the same time, the fixed-frequency feeding supplement mechanism is not associated with the real-time consumption rate of the feed box. For example, when the environmental temperature suddenly rises and the group's water intake surges, the system still executes the original dry feed feeding plan, resulting in ineffective loss of feed in the cages. These problems not only affect the health of rabbits but also reduce the breeding efficiency.

[0004] In addition, related technologies use methods such as monitoring the feed amount to dynamically adjust the feeding plan. However, they mistakenly equate "batch uniformity" with "individual precision". Their weighing sensors only measure the total supply deviation and do not construct a mapping model between the change curve of the remaining amount of the feed box in a single cage and the individual health status, resulting in missed early warnings of digestive tract diseases.

[0041] In some embodiments, the second mounting bracket 421 is rotatably connected to the end of the robotic arm 41, enabling the fixed jaw 422 and the movable jaw 423 to rotate relative to the robotic arm 41, which facilitates gripping and moving the cartridge more conveniently. Further, the end effector 42 further includes a driving mechanism for controlling the rotation of the second mounting bracket 421, and the driving mechanism is disposed on the robotic arm 41 or the second mounting bracket 421.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present application, the gripping module further includes a positioning assembly 43, the positioning assembly 43 is disposed on the second mounting bracket 421, the positioning assembly 43 is adapted to obtain the position information of the cartridge, and the robotic arm 41 controls the movement of the end effector 42 according to the position information.

[0047] In this embodiment, the control module receives the detection data of the detection module 50 and controls the operation of the feeding module and the clamping module based on the detection data. At the same time, the control module has a normal threshold and a deviation range for the material box surplus built in. The control module compares and judges the detection data. When the detection data deviates from the normal threshold and is within the deviation range, it controls the early warning module to emit an early warning signal. This embodiment can obtain abnormal fluctuations in the material box surplus (such as continuous high or sudden drop), associate it with the health status of the rabbit group, and automatically trigger a disease early warning when the surplus of a specific cage position is detected to deviate from the normal threshold, which can provide key data support for health management and form an intelligent solution integrating feeding and health monitoring.
