[0007] When this technology is in use, the visual camera realizes visual size detection of the animal, and the feed can be poured into the weighing plate through the electric valve. When the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor is the same as the pressure value set by the controller, the feed can be weighed to an amount that matches the animal's body size.

[0031] The working principle of the AI - driven precise feeding robot of the present invention is as follows:

[0032] Step 1: During feeding recognition, feed is placed inside the feed box 10. The battery 13 supplies power to drive the motor 14. By starting two driving motors 14, the two driving motors 14 respectively drive the two crawler wheels 15 to rotate. The crawler wheels 15 drive the transmission crawler 17 to mesh and rotate. And the two auxiliary wheels 16 are driven inside the transmission crawler 17. In this way, the frame body 1 can move. And the vision camera 2 performs visual size detection on the animals. When the specified size is detected, the electric valve 11 is opened through the controller 12.

[0033] Step 2: During flipping and blocking, the flipping motor 26 is started through the controller 12 at the same time. The box body 3 supports the concave baffle 23. The concave baffle 23 supports the reinforcement block 25. The reinforcement block 25 supports the flipping motor 26. The flipping motor 26 drives the transmission rod 27 to rotate. The transmission rod 27 rotates inside the socket ring 28. And the reinforcement block 25 supports the socket support block 24. The socket support block 24 supports the socket ring 28. The transmission rod 27 can drive the linkage column 29 to rotate counterclockwise. The linkage column 29 drives the cover plate 30 to rotate counterclockwise. The cover plate 30 can flip and block the concave baffle 23. In this way, the feed inside the feed box 10 is conveyed to the electric valve 11. At the same time, the inclined plate 18 makes the feed move downward obliquely. In this way, the feed can flow into the weighing plate 7 along the electric valve 11. Pressure sensing is realized through the weighing plate 7 on the pressure sensor 8. When the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor 8 is the same as the pressure value set by the controller 12, the feed can be weighed to an amount matching the animal's body size. When the feed amount of the pressure sensor 8 is the set amount of the controller 12, the electric valve 11 is closed through the controller 12.

[0034] Step 3: When performing mobile recognition, the drive rod 27 is driven by the flipping motor 26 to rotate in a reset manner. The drive rod 27 rotates in a reset manner inside the socket ring 28. The drive rod 27 drives the linkage column 29 to rotate clockwise, and the linkage column 29 drives the cover plate 30 to rotate clockwise, so that the cover plate 30 no longer presses on the upper surface of the concave baffle 23. Then the frame body 1 supports the auxiliary wheel 16, the auxiliary wheel 16 supports the socket support plate 4, the socket support plate 4 supports the reduction motor 5, and the reduction motor 5 drives the box body 3 to rotate clockwise. The box body 3 flips and discharges the internal feed downward. In this way, after realizing intelligent visual recognition through AI, feeds of different weights are provided for matching feeding, and the feeding is more accurate.

[0035] When the box body 3 flips and discharges materials, the mobile electric cylinder 19 is used to push the push rod 20 to move leftward. The push rod 20 drives the socket block 21 to move leftward, the socket block 21 drives the linkage collar 22 to move leftward, and the linkage collar 22 drives the vision camera 2 to move leftward. The vision camera 2 is located at the side position, so that the vision camera 2 can perform visual size detection on another kind of animal. In this way, when the feed is poured out for the first kind of animal, the second kind of animal continues to perform visual size recognition and judgment, improving the feeding efficiency of the animals.
