Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of animal husbandry equipment, and in particular to a sow status monitoring device and system in a farrowing room of a pig farm. Background Art

[0002] In pig farming, sows are typically kept in farrowing pens. Due to the large number of sows on a farm, farmhands may not be able to detect a sow giving birth in time, making it difficult for them to assist with the birth. Furthermore, in the days after giving birth, when the sow stands up and then lies down, the piglets cannot escape from under her in time, making them vulnerable to being crushed or killed. According to statistics, the industry average crushing death rate is 5%-10%, but poorly managed farms can reach as high as 10%-15%. Furthermore, sows are weak and vulnerable to illness after giving birth, requiring enhanced monitoring and management.

[0003] The present application provides a sow status monitoring device and system for the farrowing room of a pig farm, which are used to monitor and manage sows that are about to give birth or have just given birth. Summary of the Invention

[0051] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0053] In this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on specific circumstances.

[0054] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, when a first feature is "above" or "below" a second feature, it can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, when a first feature is "above," "above," or "above" a second feature, it can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature. When a first feature is "below," "below," or "below" a second feature, it can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a lower level than the second feature.

[0055] In the pig farming process, sows waiting to give birth are usually kept in the delivery room waiting to give birth. Since there are a large number of sows waiting to give birth in pig farms, farmers may not be able to detect the sows giving birth in time and thus cannot help them give birth. In addition, in the few days after the sow gives birth to piglets. When the sow stands up and lies down, the piglets cannot run away from under the sow in time, and are easily crushed to death by the sow. According to statistics, the average crushing death rate in the industry is 5%-10%, and it is as high as 10%-15% in poorly managed farms. Furthermore, sows that have just given birth are relatively weak and more prone to illness at this time, so they need to be monitored and managed more strictly.

[0056] The present application provides a sow status monitoring device and system for a pig farm farrowing room, which is used to monitor and manage sows that are about to give birth and have just given birth. The solution provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0057] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a sow status monitoring system in a farrowing room provided in one embodiment of the present application.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a delivery room sow status monitoring system, comprising a cloud server 100, a delivery room sow status monitoring device 200 and an operation terminal 300, to realize intelligent monitoring of the status of all sows in labor in a pig farm. The delivery room sow status monitoring device 200 interacts and communicates with the cloud server 100 through its internal wireless communication module. The data collected by the delivery room sow status monitoring device 200 is uploaded to the cloud server through its internal wireless communication module, and the cloud server is used to store the data collected by the delivery room sow status monitoring device. The command issued by the cloud server 100 is transmitted to the delivery room sow status monitoring device 200 through the wireless communication module, so that the delivery room sow status monitoring device performs corresponding actions. It can be understood that the wireless connection between the sow status monitoring device 200 and the cloud server 100 not only avoids the wiring difficulties in the complex environment of the farm, but also ensures the flexibility of equipment deployment.

[0059] The operation terminal is equipped with a control system for the sow status monitoring device 300 in the delivery room, which can remotely collect the number of times the sow gets up and lies down or the sow's production information through the sow status monitoring device 300 in the delivery room, so that the breeding staff can obtain the sow's getting up and lying down frequency and production information in real time without the need for on-site duty, so as to remotely judge the sow's status, promptly discover the abnormality and delivery status of each sow, and intervene early, which greatly improves the survival rate of piglets and shortens the recovery time of sows from illness, and solves the monitoring lag problem caused by the low efficiency of traditional manual inspections.

[0060] For example, a plurality of farrowing room sow status monitoring devices 300 may be provided in the entire farrowing room sow status monitoring system to monitor the status of each farrowing sow.

[0061] Furthermore, the farrowing room sow status monitoring device 300 can be configured with maximum and minimum thresholds for the number of sows rising and lying down via the operator terminal. When the number of sows rising and lying down exceeds the maximum threshold or falls below the minimum threshold, the farrowing room sow status monitoring device 300 issues an alarm. Specifically, this selective configuration feature allows farmers to flexibly set the maximum and minimum thresholds based on individual sows or different production stages, avoiding the drawback of fixed thresholds that are incapable of adapting to actual production needs. When the number of sows rising and lying down exceeds the preset maximum threshold or falls below the minimum threshold, an alarm mechanism is automatically triggered, allowing farmers to accurately identify abnormal sow activity and intervene promptly.

[0062] Because sows are weak and reflexes poorly after giving birth, they are unable to sense the piglets beneath them. Furthermore, they may collapse quickly, potentially crushing or killing the piglets. When the sow status monitoring device 300 detects a sow standing up, it can blow air underneath her body to dislodge the piglets. For example, in some embodiments, the sow status monitoring device 300 can use this airflow to dislodge piglets beneath the standing sow, preventing them from being crushed to death. The operating terminal can remotely control the airflow intensity and temperature of the sow status monitoring device 300 to ensure the dislodging of piglets. Remotely controlling the airflow intensity and temperature of the sow status monitoring device 300 through the operating terminal ensures effective dislodging of piglets while preventing damage from excessively strong winds. Furthermore, by controlling the airflow temperature, the sow status monitoring device 300 outputs air at an appropriate temperature, preventing the adverse effects of low temperatures on the piglets' health.

[0063] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned wireless communication module may be a wifi communication module or other mobile communication modules, such as a 4G communication module or a 5G communication module.

[0064] In some examples, the farrowing room sow status monitoring system further includes a router 200 , and the wireless communication module is configured as a wifi communication module.

[0065] The cloud server 100 and the router 200 are connected via a network, and the two transmit data to each other; the sow status monitoring device 300 in the delivery room is wirelessly connected to the router 200 via a wifi communication module.

[0066] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A first structural diagram of the farrowing room sow status monitoring device 300; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A second structural diagram of the farrowing room sow status monitoring device 300; Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A third structural diagram of the farrowing room sow status monitoring device 300; Figure 5 yes Figure 1 A fourth structural diagram of the farrowing room sow status monitoring device 300; Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the interior of a piglet anti-pressure device provided in one embodiment of the present application.

[0067] Reference Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the farrowing room sow status monitoring device 300 exemplarily includes a housing 310, a control module 320, a wireless communication module, and a first detection module 330. The housing 310 provides protection for the various components. The control module 320 is fixedly mounted within the housing 310. The communication module is electrically connected to the control module 320 and is disposed within the housing 310. The communication module is used to upload data collected by the control module 320 to the cloud server 100 or transmit commands issued by the cloud server 100 to the control module 320, enabling real-time uploading of monitoring data and remote command reception.

[0068] Exemplarily, the wireless communication module can be a wifi communication module or other mobile communication modules, such as a 4G communication module or a 5G communication module. When the wireless communication module is configured as a wifi communication module, it is necessary to communicate with the cloud server 100 through a router 200 connected to the Internet.

[0069] The first detection module 330 is connected to the housing 310 and positioned at a predetermined height. It is electrically connected to the control module 320 via wires. The first detection module 330 is used to detect when a sow stands up, thereby monitoring the sow's condition. For example, the first detection module 330 can be an image acquisition component or a photoelectric detection module. For example, the first detection module 330 can be a photoelectric detection module, positioned at a predetermined height above the ground and emitting a horizontal signal.

[0070] The farrowing room sow status monitoring device 300 is placed on the side of the sow. When the sow stands up, it blocks the photoelectric signal of the first detection module 330, and the control module 320 records the sow's standing status. When the photoelectric signal of the first detection module 330 is unblocked, it indicates that the sow is lying down. The control module 320 records that the sow is in the lying state. At this time, the control module 320 records that the sow stands up and up, and uploads the data to the cloud server 100 via the Wi-Fi communication module and router 200. The data can be viewed on the operation terminal.

[0071] When the first detection module 330 is configured as an image acquisition component, the image acquisition component can capture images of the sow and analyze the sow's condition. It should be noted that the image acquisition component capturing and analyzing images to determine the sow's condition is a prior art technique, and this application does not improve this aspect of the solution, so it will not be described in detail.

[0072] Exemplarily, the control module 320 may be a single-chip microcomputer system, and the operating terminal may be a computer, a mobile phone, or a tablet device. The delivery room sow status monitoring device 300 also includes a switch, which is arranged on the housing 310 and is electrically connected to the single-chip microcomputer control board via a wire. The switch is used to control the on and off of the entire circuit. The first detection component is electrically connected to the single-chip microcomputer control board via a wire, and the single-chip microcomputer control board receives the trigger signal of the first detection module 330. The entire delivery room sow status monitoring device 300 can be powered by direct current or by a battery, which are both existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. It is a conventional technology in this field to collect sensor trigger signals through the single-chip microcomputer control board and to power electrical components with batteries or DC power supplies. Those skilled in the art can design it according to their needs, and the specific connection method and control method will not be elaborated here.

[0073] Reference Figures 2 to 6 As shown, illustratively, the sow status monitoring device 300 in the farrowing room also includes a driving component 340; the driving component 340 is arranged in the housing 310 and is electrically connected to the control module 320. The control module 320 can control the movement of the driving component 340 to drive away the piglets. The control system of the operating terminal can control the activation or deactivation of the piglet driving function. When the sow is about to give birth or has just given birth, the piglet driving function needs to be activated to prevent the newborn piglets from being crushed to death by the sow. The sow status monitoring device 300 in the farrowing room is placed on the side of the sow that is about to give birth. When the first detection module 330 detects that the sow is standing, the control module 320 controls the movement of the driving component to drive away the piglets under the sow's body to prevent the sow from suddenly lying down and crushing the piglets to death.

[0074] After the sow has recovered after a few days of delivery and the piglets move quickly, the sow will no longer crush the piglets when she gets up or lies down. To prevent the expulsion component 340 from affecting the piglets, the piglet expulsion function of the sow status monitoring device 300 in the delivery room can be turned off at this time, and it is only used to detect the number of times the sow gets up or lies down.

[0075] Exemplarily, the dislodging assembly 340 may be an air blowing assembly or an acoustic dislodging assembly 340. The air blowing assembly generates an airflow of a certain intensity directed downwards towards the sow to dislodging the piglets. The acoustic dislodging assembly 340 emits acoustic waves of a certain frequency directed downwards towards the sow to dislodge the piglets. It should be noted that the airflow of a certain intensity and the acoustic waves of a certain frequency will only cause discomfort to the piglets and dislodge, without causing any harm to them.

[0076] Specifically, the dispersal component 340 is configured as a blower assembly, comprising a fan 341 electrically connected to the control module 320 via wires. The control module 320 controls the rotation of the fan 341, causing it to blow horizontal air to displace the piglets from beneath the sow. The fan 341 generates a horizontal airflow directly under the sow's body. The piglets, sensing the airflow and feeling discomfort, move away from the sow, thereby preventing the sow from crushing or injuring them when it lies down. The blower assembly achieves contactless dispersal by blowing air, avoiding physical harm to the piglets.

[0077] Illustratively, the sow status monitoring device 300 in the delivery room also includes a heating component 350, which is disposed in the shell 310 and electrically connected to the control module 320. The control module 320 can heat the air blown out by the fan 341 through the heating component 350, thereby controlling the temperature of the air blown out by the blowing component to ensure that the blown air does not affect the health of the piglets.

[0078] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, the expelling component 340 also includes an air duct 342, which is arranged in the shell 310, and its two ends are respectively connected to the air outlet 314 and the air inlet 313 on the side of the shell 310. The fan 341 is arranged in the shell 310, and the heating component 350 is arranged in the air duct 342. The wind blown out by the blowing component passes through the air duct 342 and blows toward the piglets. It can be understood that the air duct 342 forms a directional airflow channel in the shell 310, connecting the air inlet 313 with the air outlet 314, ensuring that the airflow is concentrated and output along a predetermined path, avoiding wind dispersion, and achieving a better piglet expelling effect. In addition, the heating component 350 is arranged in the air duct 342, so that the airflow can complete temperature regulation during the transportation process, and a temperature-controllable directional airflow can be formed.

[0079] Specifically, if Figure 7As shown, the air duct 342 includes a first channel 3421 and a second channel 3422. The fan 341 is arranged inside the shell 310 through a fixing clamp. One end of the first channel 3421 is connected to the air inlet 313, and the other end of the first channel 3421 is connected to the fan 341. One end of the second channel 3422 is connected to the air outlet 314, and the other end of the second channel 3422 is connected to the fan 341.

[0080] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the farrowing room sow status monitoring device 300 further includes a support assembly 360, which is disposed on the housing 310, and the first detection module 330 is disposed on the support assembly 360, and the support assembly 360 enables the setting height of the first detection module 330 to match the height of the sow.

[0081] In some examples, the support assembly 360 is a fixed-height support rod, while in other examples, the support assembly 360 is a variable-height support rod. It will be appreciated that a variable-height support rod facilitates adjustment of the height of the first detection module 330 to accommodate sows of varying heights. Exemplarily, the support assembly 360 includes a first rod 361 and a second rod 362. One end of the first rod 361 is connected to the housing 310, and the other end of the first rod 361 is slidably coupled to one end of the second rod 362. The first detection module 330 is disposed on the other end of the second rod 362. Because the first and second rods 361, 362 are slidably coupled together, the overall length of the support assembly 360, and thus the height of the first detection module 330, can be easily adjusted.

[0082] Exemplarily, the housing 310 includes an upper housing 311 and an upper housing 312, wherein the upper housing 311 is detachably mounted on the upper housing 312, and the upper housing 311 and the upper housing 312 enclose an internal space. The control module 320 and the expulsion assembly 340 are both disposed in the internal space. An air inlet 313 and an air outlet 314 are disposed on the side wall of the upper housing 312, wherein the air inlet 313 and the air outlet 314 are positioned opposite each other, and an air duct 342 is disposed between the two and connected to each other. In addition, two opposing handles 390 are disposed on the side wall of the upper housing 312. The two handles 390 are used to facilitate the movement of the entire housing 310. In order to prevent the housing 310 from injuring the piglets, the entire housing 310 is rounded.

[0083] Continue to refer to Figures 2 to 6As shown, in some examples, the farrowing room sow status monitoring device 300 also includes an audio and visual indicator 370. This indicator is located at the end of the support assembly 360 away from the housing 310 and is connected to the control module 320. The audio and visual indicator 370 is used to issue an alarm. When the sow's number of rising and lying times exceeds a maximum threshold or falls below a minimum threshold, the control module 320 controls the audio and visual indicator 370 to issue an alarm, alerting the farmer to the sow's abnormal condition.

[0084] Reference Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some examples, the piglet pressure protection device further includes a second detection module 380, which is mounted on the housing 310 via a mounting bracket and electrically connected to the control module 320. Specifically, the second detection module 380 is positioned below the lowest point of the sow's body when it is standing up, and is electrically connected to the single-chip microcomputer control board of the control module 320. The second detection module 380 can be used to detect the presence of a piglet beneath the sow. When the first detection module 330 is triggered, indicating that the sow has stood up and is in a standing position, if the second detection module 380 is also triggered, it indicates that a piglet is beneath the sow. The control module 320 then activates the repelling component 340 to repel the piglet until the second detection component is deactivated. If the first detection module 330 is triggered, it means that the sow has stood up and is in a standing state. If the second detection module 380 is not in a triggered state at this time, it means that there are no piglets under the sow. At this time, the control module 320 will not control the driving component 340 to operate.

[0085] In these examples, by setting up a second detection module 380 to detect whether the piglet is under the sow, it is possible to avoid the situation where the sow stands up to trigger the first detection module 330, but the piglet is not under the sow, and the expulsion component 340 continues to operate, thereby improving the overall intelligence of the device.

[0086] In some examples, after the first detection module 330 is triggered by the sow, the repelling component 340 operates for a certain period of time, such as three minutes. Subsequently, the second detection module 380 detects whether there is a piglet under the sow. If the second detection module 380 detects that a piglet is under the sow (i.e., the second detection module 380 is triggered), the control module 320 controls the repelling component 340 to continue operating until the second detection module 380 is no longer triggered.

[0087] In certain examples, to improve the accuracy of piglet position detection, the piglet anti-pressure device is equipped with two second detection modules 380, which are spaced apart on the housing 310 along a detection direction perpendicular to the detection direction of the first detection module 330. The control module 320 controls the repelling component 340 to operate only when both second detection modules 380 are triggered simultaneously. It is understood that when only one second detection module 380 is provided, even if there is no piglet beneath the sow, the sow's legs may block and trigger the second detection module 380 after the sow stands, resulting in malfunction. The length of a piglet significantly exceeds the width of its legs, so the spacing between the two second detection modules 380 can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

[0088] It should be noted that, in these examples, the second detection module 380 may be configured as a photoelectric detection module.

[0089] This farrowing room sow status monitoring system features a sow delivery notification function. Specifically, when a sow is about to give birth, the farrowing room sow status monitoring device 300 can be placed to the right rear of the sow's buttocks, with the piglet removal function disabled. Once the sow has delivered a piglet, the piglet triggers the second detection module 380. The control module 320 then controls the audio and visual notification component 370 to issue an alarm. This information is then sent to the farmer via the operating terminal as a notification, allowing them to promptly address the situation. This timely response significantly improves the piglet's survival rate.

[0090] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of a farrowing room sow status monitoring device 300 provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown in the diagram, the sow status monitoring device 300 in the farrowing room has a simple structure, easy operation, stable operation, and can effectively monitor the sow status and reduce the piglet crushing rate. According to experimental statistics, the crushing rate of a large-scale breeding farm before use was 8%, and after use, the crushing rate dropped to 2%.

[0092] Reference Figure 8As shown, the control system of the operation terminal can display the frequency of sows getting up and lying down today, helping farmers to judge the state of the sows and find abnormalities in time. And the function of driving away piglets can be selectively turned on or off, that is, the wind shield function is turned off. In addition, it also has a light search function. When the light search function is turned on, the sound and light prompt component 370 of the corresponding device will prompt the location of the device. In addition, the wind temperature setting option and the layout interface of the maximum threshold for getting up and lying down and the minimum threshold for getting up and lying down in the control system of the operation terminal are shown as follows: Figure 8 In addition, the control system has a statistical function that can track the number of times the sow gets up and lies down every day in the near future, as shown in the following example: Figure 9 shown.

[0093] When the piglet expulsion function is turned off, the sow status monitoring device 300 is placed next to the sow to monitor the production status. Figure 10 The interface is aware of the sow's production status.
