Description

[0002] Dung beetles are insects that feed on garbage or feces. Large-scale breeding of dung beetles allows for the resource utilization of feces and garbage, possessing high ecological and economic value.

[0003] Manure insect farming technology typically relies on specialized equipment to provide suitable living conditions for the insects, such as temperature, humidity, ventilation, light, and food. Current technologies usually require various types of sensors, such as temperature and humidity sensors, to monitor and regulate the insects' growth environment. However, existing monitoring technologies for farming equipment have the following problems:

[0004] Firstly, the sensor placement is limited. Sensors are typically installed on the inner walls of aquaculture equipment, making it impossible to monitor the temperature and humidity inside the insect activity area. This results in low accuracy of the sensor data, a high risk of false alarms, and compromises the reliability of aquaculture environment control.

[0005] Secondly, the data from different types of sensors were not coupled. For example, using only temperature sensor data as the criterion for temperature control or only humidity sensor data as the criterion for humidity control makes it difficult to identify abnormal temperature and humidity in dynamic environments, resulting in poor control of temperature and humidity conditions, which in turn affects the growth rate and survival rate of insects. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Optionally, the step of performing data preprocessing on the environmental sampling data to establish a preprocessed dataset includes: performing spatiotemporal alignment, outlier handling, and normalization on the environmental sampling data; adding hierarchical labels to the normalized data according to the position of the environmental sampling data in the hierarchical layout structure; and storing the normalized data with the hierarchical labels into the preprocessed dataset.

[0014] Optionally, the layered layout structure includes at least: an upper space, an interface space, and a bottom space; wherein, the upper space is located above the substrate of the insect breeding area, and the distance between the upper space and the substrate surface is greater than or equal to a first preset distance; the interface space is located on the substrate surface, and the distance between the interface space and the substrate surface is less than or equal to a second preset distance; the bottom space is located inside the substrate, and the distance between the bottom space and the substrate surface is greater than the second preset distance.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a multi-sensor data fusion method for insect farming control provided in an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to monitoring scenarios involving insect farming in manure. In this invention, manure-infested insects include, but are not limited to, dung beetles, black soldier flies, and houseflies. This method can be executed by an insect farming control device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in insect farming equipment or independent electronic devices. Figure 1 As shown, this multi-sensor data fusion method for insect farming regulation includes the following steps:

[0029] S1: Acquire environmental sampling data of the insect breeding area based on at least two types of sensors.

[0030] The sensors are arranged in a layered layout within the insect rearing area. Typically, the sensors include, but are not limited to: temperature sensors, humidity sensors, light intensity sensors, and gas sensors. Typically, the gas sensors include, but are not limited to: carbon dioxide sensors and ammonia nitrogen sensors.

[0031] Environmental sampling data can be understood as measured data characterizing the environmental state and dynamic changes within an insect farming area. In this embodiment, environmental sampling data includes, but is not limited to, data on temperature, humidity, light intensity, and gas concentration within the insect farming area.

[0032] Insect breeding areas include, but are not limited to: the internal and external areas of the substrate used for breeding insects, the internal area of ​​the breeding boxes, and the area where the breeding boxes are placed (such as greenhouses or breeding farms).

[0033] A hierarchical layout structure can be understood as a vertical spatial structure based on the activity areas of insect larvae and adults. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a layered layout structure for an insect breeding area provided in an embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 2 As shown, the layered layout structure includes at least: an upper space S1, an interface space S2, and a lower space S3; wherein, the upper space S1 is located above the substrate 1 of the insect breeding area, and the distance between it and the substrate surface is greater than or equal to a first preset distance; the interface space S2 is located on the substrate surface, and the distance between it and the substrate surface is less than or equal to a second preset distance; the lower space S3 is located inside the substrate, and the distance between it and the substrate surface is greater than the second preset distance. The first preset distance is greater than the second preset distance. For example, the first preset distance can be set to 10cm, and the second preset distance to 5cm.

[0034] Specifically, a light intensity sensor and a temperature and humidity sensor can be arranged in the upper space S1 to monitor the light intensity, temperature and humidity data of the adult insect activity area; a gas sensor and a temperature sensor can be arranged in the interface space S2 to monitor the metabolic state of the population gathering area; and a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor can be arranged in the lower space S3 to monitor the temperature and moisture content of the larval activity area.

[0035] S2: Perform data preprocessing on the environmental sampling data and establish a preprocessed dataset.

[0036] The preprocessed dataset can be understood as a collection of data created after preliminary fusion of different types of environmental sampling data (including at least one of temperature, humidity, illuminance, and gas concentration). In the preprocessed dataset, a set of environmental sampling data (such as temperature, humidity, illuminance, or gas concentration) from the same location can be stored in array format.

[0037] Optionally, data preprocessing is performed on the environmental sampling data to establish a preprocessed dataset, including: performing spatiotemporal alignment, outlier handling, and normalization on the environmental sampling data; adding hierarchical labels to the normalized data according to the position of the environmental sampling data in the hierarchical layout structure; and storing the normalized data with hierarchical labels into the preprocessed dataset. In this embodiment, the hierarchical labels include, but are not limited to: upper-layer spatial labels, interface spatial labels, and lower-layer spatial labels.

[0038] Specifically, the NTP protocol can be used to unify the timestamps of all sensors and synchronize the environmental sampling data in time; the sensor positions can be unified to the aquaculture box coordinate system through three-dimensional coordinate system mapping; and data such as temperature, humidity, gas concentration, and illuminance can be scaled to a unified [0,1] interval. After normalization, the sampling data in the vertical space can be marked by adding hierarchical labels, providing data sources at different vertical heights for constructing the three-dimensional field.

[0039] S3: Establish a three-dimensional environmental field for the insect breeding area based on the preprocessed dataset.

[0040] Among them, the three-dimensional environmental field can be understood as the mathematical and structured expression of continuously distributed environmental parameters (such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, gas concentration, etc.) within the insect breeding area.

[0041] In this embodiment, a continuous three-dimensional environmental field can be established by interpolation estimation through preprocessing the discretized values ​​in the dataset.

[0042] S4: Couple the three-dimensional environmental field with the preset physiological response model, and optimize the breeding environment control parameters of the insect breeding area based on the coupling results.

[0043] The preset physiological response model is a function model established based on the physiological response data of insects in different environments.

[0044] In this embodiment, the coupling result of the three-dimensional environmental field and the preset physiological response model is used to measure the growth status of insects.

[0045] Specifically, coupling the three-dimensional environmental field with the preset physiological response model means importing data from the three-dimensional environmental field into the preset physiological response model to obtain the insect growth status at different locations within the three-dimensional environmental field. When the insect growth status does not meet expectations, or when the insect survival rate is lower than a preset survival rate threshold, the environmental control parameters of the insect breeding area are optimized.

[0046] Therefore, the technical solution of the present invention improves the monitoring accuracy and data reliability by establishing a three-dimensional environmental field in the insect breeding area and fusing data from multiple sensors. It avoids malfunctions caused by adjusting temperature or humidity based on single data. By coupling the three-dimensional environmental field with a preset physiological response model, it achieves closed-loop management of breeding environment control parameters, improves the insect breeding management effect, and increases the growth rate and survival rate of insects.

[0049] The preset size can be understood as the size of the cell grid established based on the discretization processing requirements. In this embodiment, the preset size can be set according to the substrate stacking height inside the breeding box. Typically, the preset size can be set to 5cm in length, width, and height.

[0050] S402: Run the preset physiological response model independently within each cell grid to obtain physiological response data in different hierarchical spaces.

[0051] Physiological response data can be understood as predicted values ​​of insect growth status obtained based on environmental field data within a cell grid. Typically, physiological response data includes, but is not limited to: survival rate, growth curve, energy consumption data, and avoidance behavior.

[0066] Optionally, the metabolic rate model of the present invention is based on a coupling of the Q10 temperature coefficient model and a gas concentration correction term. For example, the mathematical form of the Q10 temperature coefficient model is shown in Equation 4:

[0072] Combining Equations 4 and 5 above, an additive coupling method is used to couple the Q10 temperature coefficient model and the gas concentration correction term to establish the metabolic rate model as shown in Equation 6:

[0073] (Formula 6)

[0074] in, This represents the metabolic rate output by the metabolic rate model. This represents the inhibition strength coefficient.
