Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water use regulation, and in particular to an intelligent drinking water scheduling and water-saving control method for a laying hen house integrating multi-source sensing. Background Art

[0002] In current large-scale laying hen farming, drinking water systems, as crucial infrastructure for ensuring the vital activities and production performance of poultry, are subject to widespread regulatory challenges, including delayed response, extensive regulation, and inefficient water conservation. Traditional drinking water control methods, often based on timed water supply or fixed flow rates, lack the ability to dynamically monitor and respond to actual drinking behavior and environmental changes. This can easily lead to oversupply and waste of water resources, or insufficient water supply that can compromise poultry health and egg production.

[0003] Some water-saving controls have introduced local behavior detection devices, such as touch sensors and infrared monitoring, to roughly assess drinking activity. However, they usually fail to construct high-resolution spatiotemporal behavior maps that can be used for zoning control, nor do they work in synergy with temperature and humidity environmental factors. At the same time, the hydraulic state of the chicken house pipe network during water supply (such as pressure fluctuations and flow distribution) is not included in the control strategy, resulting in the control unit being unable to adaptively adjust the flow structure or respond to peak behavior, thereby increasing the risk of operational instability.

[0004] Furthermore, current systems generally separate the control of drinking water devices from aeration systems, lacking a coordinated gas-liquid mechanism and unable to address issues such as localized water quality deterioration or biofilm accumulation. High-frequency pulsed water supply, without effective hydraulic safety protection strategies, can easily induce faults such as water hammer and pipeline oscillation, further limiting the deployment and expansion of intelligent drinking water systems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides an intelligent drinking water scheduling and water-saving control method for laying hen houses that integrates multi-source sensing. By integrating multi-source sensing information, the method can dynamically perceive the drinking behavior characteristics of chickens, realize water demand compensation in combination with environmental parameters, and has the intelligent drinking water scheduling and water-saving control method with high-frequency pulse response, gas-liquid linkage and hydraulic safety protection capabilities, so as to improve the accuracy, adaptability and operational reliability of the chicken house water supply system.

[0006] The intelligent drinking water scheduling and water-saving control method for laying hen houses integrating multi-source sensing includes the following steps:

[0007] S1: Using a positioning sensor network to obtain a real-time spatiotemporal distribution map of the chicken flock, a partition grid is constructed based on the drinking line pressure pulsation data. Based on the partition grid, the chicken house is divided into multiple control units with independent hydraulic characteristics.

[0008] S2: Based on the trigger frequency sequence of the chicken beak touch sensor in each control unit, a drinking behavior pattern matrix is ​​generated, and the ambient temperature and humidity gradient data are integrated to establish the water demand compensation function of each partition;

[0009] S3: According to the drinking water behavior pattern matrix and water demand compensation function output by S2, the microchannel water-saving valve corresponding to each partition is driven to execute a differentiated water supply mode, and the opening and closing timing of the aeration device of the partition is synchronously adjusted.

[0010] Optionally, the positioning sensing network in S1 includes an infrared sensor array, an RFID positioning beacon and a ToF camera. The infrared sensor array, RFID positioning beacon and ToF camera arranged on the ceiling of the chicken house generate three-dimensional coordinate point cloud data of the chicken flock, and the spatiotemporal distribution map is updated at a predetermined period. The spatiotemporal distribution map includes a heat map of chicken density in each area and a movement trajectory vector.

[0011] Optionally, S1 further includes installing a high-frequency pressure transmitter in the drinking water main pipeline, collecting pressure pulsation data, and extracting characteristic frequency components representing the topological structure of the pipe network through wavelet packet decomposition;

[0012] The chicken density heat map and the characteristic frequency components of the pipe network are input into the DBSCAN clustering algorithm to generate control units (i.e., partition grids) that meet the following constraints:

[0013] Constraint 1: The coefficient of variation in chicken density within the control unit does not exceed a predetermined percentage;

[0014] Constraint 2: The correlation coefficient of pipeline pressure fluctuations between adjacent control units is less than the predetermined coefficient threshold.

[0015] Optionally, S1 further includes a partition grid reconstruction mechanism: when any trigger condition is met, the partition grid is reconstructed:

[0016] Trigger condition 1: The chicken population density change rate in any sub-area exceeds 10% / minute;

[0017] Trigger condition two: The pressure pulsation main frequency offset is greater than the offset threshold.

[0018] Optionally, the S2 specifically includes:

[0019] S21: Install a chicken beak touch sensor at the drinking water terminal of each control unit and set a sampling period to record valid touch events. The valid touch events must meet both acceleration conditions and voiceprint conditions.

[0020] S22: Count the effective touch frequency sequence of each control unit according to the predetermined time window to construct a drinking behavior pattern matrix with extended time and space dimensions. , the matrix elements represents the normalized touch intensity of the i-th unit in the j-th time window;

[0021] S23, based on the current temperature and humidity environment, build a water demand compensation function , used to adjust the water supply target value of each control unit.

[0022] Optionally, the acceleration condition is expressed as: And the duration is <300ms, where The maximum acceleration value of the touch event;

[0027] Optionally, in S3, according to the drinking behavior pattern matrix of each control unit Normalized touch strength in , determine the control mode level, including:

[0028] like If the high threshold is exceeded, the high-frequency pulse mode is activated, and the microchannel water-saving valve is set to a high-duty-cycle short-cycle action, and the single water supply flow is increased to the upper limit of the reference value;

[0029] like If it is in the middle range, it enters the adaptive pulse mode, determines the water-saving valve switch cycle through the logarithmic function, and uses the water demand compensation amount calculated in the early stage as the current pulse water supply benchmark;

[0030] like If the water level is lower than the low threshold, the water-saving monitoring mode is enabled, and water is only supplied tentatively for a short period of time within a predetermined period, and whether to shut down some drinking water terminals is determined by effective touch.

[0031] Optionally, the S3 further includes executing sequential coupling control of the aeration device and the microchannel water-saving valve, specifically including:

[0032] After the micro-channel water-saving valve enters the open state, the Venturi aerator is started with a delay. The delay value is used to match the water flow propagation time to ensure synchronous diffusion of gas and liquid. The aeration duration is positively correlated with the current pulse flow rate.

[0033] When it is detected that the dissolved oxygen concentration decrease rate of the control unit exceeds the set decrease threshold, an additional aeration process is inserted during the water supply interval.

[0034] Optionally, the method further includes establishing a valve-aeration linkage protection mechanism, which automatically switches to a constant flow mode if abnormal pipeline pressure fluctuations are detected for multiple consecutive pulse cycles, or if the energy proportion of the pressure signal in the high-frequency band suddenly increases and exceeds a judgment threshold.

It then constructs a spatiotemporally expanded drinking behavior pattern matrix, categorizing the behavior into three levels of response mode based on intensity. Combined with logarithmic periodic regulation and water-saving detection strategies, this method achieves fine-grained hierarchical control of control units under different drinking conditions, improving the system's response accuracy and physiological adaptability to dynamic changes in drinking water demand.

[0037] 2. This invention introduces a nonlinear compensation function for temperature and humidity, constructs a dynamic water demand regulation model using real-time ambient temperature, relative humidity, and drinking behavior intensity as parameters, and uses a hyperbolic tangent function to limit the impact of extreme behavior, suppressing the risk of misjudgment due to abnormal amplification of drinking behavior in high temperature or high humidity scenarios. The compensation function is embedded in an adaptive pulse water supply mode to achieve real-time dynamic regulation of flow, effectively balancing physiological water demand and system water conservation goals, and significantly improving the intelligence and robustness of the drinking water control strategy.

This invention achieves synchronous gas-liquid diffusion through an aeration delay start mechanism based on water flow propagation delay, adjusts aeration duration based on current pulse intensity and behavioral deviation, integrates dissolved oxygen change rate to drive intermittent aeration compensation, improves drinking water quality and device adaptability, and proposes a dual-domain pressure fluctuation determination mechanism.

[0049] S2: Based on the trigger frequency sequence of the chicken beak touch sensor in each control unit, a drinking behavior pattern matrix is ​​generated, and the ambient temperature and humidity gradient data are integrated to establish the water demand compensation function of each partition;

[0050] S3: According to the drinking water behavior pattern matrix and water demand compensation function output by S2, the microchannel water-saving valve corresponding to each partition is driven to execute a differentiated water supply mode, and the opening and closing timing of the aeration device of the partition is synchronously adjusted.

[0051] The positioning sensor network includes an infrared sensor array, RFID positioning beacons, and a ToF (Time of Flight) camera. The S1 specifically includes:

[0052] S11, spatiotemporal distribution map construction: Using an infrared sensor array, RFID positioning beacons, and ToF (Time of Flight) cameras placed on the ceiling of the chicken house, we generate three-dimensional coordinate point cloud data of the chicken flock. This data is updated every 5 seconds to obtain a spatiotemporal distribution map of the chicken flock. This map includes:

[0055] The fusion method is to use Kalman filtering to fuse infrared temperature hotspot data (accuracy ±0.5°C), RFID positioning data (resolution 10 cm) and ToF depth images to generate a dynamic distribution map.

[0056] S12, Hydraulic Characteristic Signal Acquisition and Processing: Install a high-frequency pressure transmitter on the drinking water main pipeline with a sampling rate set to 20–100 Hz to collect the original pressure pulsation signal.

[0076] ;

[0077] Weight coefficient ,allowing to adjust the degree of hydraulic and spatial influence.,Through this distance function, DBSCAN not only considers spatial distance when determining which points are “neighboring”, but also,introduces the hydraulic difference dimension under the influence of the flock distribution,,achieving dual-constrained clustering of spatial density thermal features and hydraulic frequency,features.

The method for intelligent drinking water scheduling and water-saving control of a laying hen house integrating multi-source sensing according to claim 1 is characterized in that: The acceleration condition is expressed as: And the duration is <300ms, where The maximum acceleration value of the touch event; The voiceprint condition is expressed as: ,in The energy of the swallowing soundprint in the 500-800Hz frequency band, It is the total energy of the entire voiceprint signal in the full frequency band.

6. The method for intelligent drinking water scheduling and water-saving control of a laying hen house integrating multi-source sensing according to claim 1 is characterized in that: In S3, according to the drinking behavior pattern matrix of each control unit Normalized touch strength in , determine the control mode level, including: like If the high threshold is exceeded, the high-frequency pulse mode is activated, and the microchannel water-saving valve is set to a high-duty-cycle short-cycle action, and the single water supply flow is increased to the upper limit of the reference value; like If it is in the middle range, it enters the adaptive pulse mode, determines the water-saving valve switch cycle through the logarithmic function, and uses the water demand compensation amount calculated in the early stage as the current pulse water supply benchmark; like If the water level is lower than the low threshold, the water-saving monitoring mode is enabled, and water is only supplied tentatively for a short period of time within a predetermined period, and whether to shut down some drinking water terminals is determined by effective touch.

7. The method for intelligent drinking water scheduling and water-saving control of a laying hen house integrating multi-source sensing according to claim 1 is characterized in that: Said S3 also includes the timing coupling control of the aeration device and the micro-channel water-saving valve, specifically including: After the micro-channel water-saving valve enters the open state, the Venturi aerator is started with a delay. The delay value is used to match the water flow propagation time to ensure synchronous diffusion of gas and liquid. The aeration duration is positively correlated with the current pulse flow rate. When it is detected that the dissolved oxygen concentration decrease rate of the control unit exceeds the set decrease threshold, an additional aeration process is inserted during the water supply interval.

8. The method for intelligent drinking water scheduling and water-saving control of a laying hen house integrating multi-source sensing according to claim 1 is characterized in that: The method also includes establishing a valve-aeration linkage protection mechanism. If abnormal fluctuations in pipeline pressure are detected in multiple consecutive pulse cycles, or the energy proportion of the pressure signal in the high-frequency band suddenly increases and exceeds the judgment threshold, it will automatically switch to a constant flow mode.
