Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ecological breeding, and in particular to an ecological breeding management system based on electronic identification. BACKGROUND

[0002] When breeding duck groups, in order to make the duck groups have sufficient activity, a certain activity space is generally given to the sub-groups. With the advent of the intelligent breeding era, setting up leg rings for the duck groups to locate, identify and monitor the state of the duck groups has become the most common breeding method.

[0003] At present, the leg rings on the market generally have the functions of identification, step counting, positioning and the like. However, due to the fast growth of duck groups, the leg rings need to have certain diameter adaptive capacity. Patent No. 202123262476.7 discloses a poultry leg ring with adjustable size, which comprises a leg ring body in the form of a closed ring. The leg ring body comprises a C-shaped plastic ring body and an adjusting seat which are integrally connected. One end of the C-shaped plastic ring body is integrally connected to one end of the adjusting seat, and the other end of the C-shaped plastic ring body is provided with a buckle. The C-shaped plastic ring body is a bendable structure. The other end of the adjusting seat extends towards the other end of the C-shaped plastic ring body, and a gap is maintained between the other end of the adjusting seat and the other end of the C-shaped plastic ring body. The inner side of the adjusting seat is provided with two or more than two clamping grooves, and all the clamping grooves are arranged at intervals from one end of the adjusting seat towards the other end of the adjusting seat. The buckle is detachably buckled into any clamping groove to adjust the effective use size of the leg ring body. The main function is to adjust the effective use size of the leg ring by cooperation of the C-shaped plastic ring body and the adjusting seat. At least two clamping grooves are provided on the adjusting seat, and the buckle is adjustably arranged in the clamping groove, so that the effective use size of the leg ring can be flexibly adjusted.

[0004] However, the leg ring in the above patent needs to be manually adjusted, and the adjustment radius is stepwise, which is not only extremely troublesome to use, but also cannot adapt to the size at all times. In addition, some leg rings are installed with elastic bands. This structure has the problems of easy falling off in the early stage and tightness causing discomfort and leading to voluntary destruction of the ducks in the later stage. SUMMARY

[0018] It should be noted that similar reference numerals represent similar items in the following drawings, therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it can not be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. EMBODIMENT

[0019] This embodiment mainly describes the title of the ecological breeding management system based on electronic identification, which is as follows: like Figures 1-5 As shown, the ecological aquaculture management system based on electronic identification has a distributed antenna array unit deployed at a height of ≥3m above the aquaculture area. The array unit includes several circularly polarized patch antennas with a spacing of 0.5λ-half a wavelength between adjacent units, used to receive the broadcast packets and generate several raw radio frequency signals. The radio frequency switch matrix module is electrically connected to the several original radio frequency signals and is used to sequentially select each antenna element with a switching time slot of ≤250ns within the CTE duration of 32μs, and output a single-channel timing radio frequency signal. The phase extraction and covariance matrix construction module is used to perform zero-IF or low-IF downconversion on the single-channel timing RF signal and obtain I / Q baseband samples, thereby constructing a 16×16 covariance matrix R. The edge angle calculation module runs the MUSIC or ESPRIT super-resolution algorithm to perform spectral peak search on the covariance matrix R and outputs the azimuth angle θ and elevation angle φ. The edge-cloud collaborative gateway integrates a LoRa / NB-IoT backhaul unit to package the θ, φ, RSSI, and livestock ID into ≤128-byte UDP frames and upload them to the cloud via the LoRaWAN 470MHz band at a cycle of ≤10 minutes. The solar self-powered module, including a 6W photovoltaic panel and a 3.7V 18650 battery pack, is used to provide offline power for the antenna array unit and edge angle calculation module for ≥72 hours. The cloud-based positioning and anomaly alarm platform is used to calculate the two-dimensional plane coordinates (x, y) of livestock in real time using a triangulation algorithm based on θ, φ, and RSSI, and to trigger a loop breakage / escape alarm when the coordinate drift speed is greater than 1.5 m / s or the livestock leaves the electronic fence. A Bluetooth ankle bracelet, worn on the legs of livestock, continuously transmits broadcast packets containing the MAC address, step count, and leg thickness at a broadcast cycle of ≤1 second, with a constant tone extension field appended to the end of the packet. It is mounted on the duck leg and includes a rotatable base 10 and a top cover 20. A pressure sensing mechanism is partially exposed and partially built into the base 10 and top cover 20. As the duck leg grows thicker, the pressure sensing mechanism retracts, causing the base 10 and top cover 20 to rotate. The external part of the pressure sensing mechanism releases pressure while the internal part increases pressure, driving the base 10 and top cover 20 to rotate. The degree of rotation indicates the thickness of the duck leg, thus determining whether the duck is mature.

[0020] Preferably, the seat 10 has a circular structure with several arrayed arc-shaped placement slots 101. The sidewalls of the placement slots 101 have arc-shaped baffles 102 with a width and curvature smaller than the placement slot 101.

The L-shaped plate 201 extends into the placement slots 101 and rotates to be limited below the arc-shaped baffles 102. One end of the elastic rope is connected to the sidewall of the placement slot 101, and the other end of the elastic rope... The end is connected to the L-shaped plate 201, so that the built-in balloon 30 is pulled back by the elastic rope and squeezed. The inner side wall of the placement groove 101 is provided with a hollow connector. The built-in balloon 30 is connected to the connector and the outer side of the connector is connected to the outer balloon 40. The built-in balloon 30 and the outer balloon 40 are connected through the connector. When the built-in balloon 30 is squeezed, the outer balloon 40 becomes larger and sticks to the duck leg. When the duck leg becomes thicker, the outer balloon 40 is compressed, and the built-in balloon 30 becomes larger and pushes the L-shaped plate 201 to slide along the placement groove 101. The seat 10 and the top cover 20 rotate relative to each other.

[0021] Preferably, the base 10 is also provided with a mounting groove 103, which contains a power supply 70, electronic devices and sensing devices.

[0026] Specifically, the RF switch matrix module uses two ADRF5519A SP8T switches cascaded together, and uses an FPGA to generate 3-bit Gray code address lines to achieve a switching time of ≤200ns, thereby ensuring that there are no dropped points in the polling of 16 antennas within the CTE time slot; the two ADRF5519A SP8T switches are cascaded with one SP2T switch; the 16 circularly polarized patch antennas are divided into two groups, and the antennas in each group are connected to the RF output port of one SP8T switch; the common output terminal of the two SP8T switches is connected to the two RF input ports of the SP2T switch; the common output terminal of the SP2T switch outputs a single-channel timing RF signal.

[0027] Specifically, the Bluetooth ankle bracelet includes an nRF52832 system-in-package and a broadcast power set to 0 dBm to achieve an average current of ≤5 mA and a battery life of ≥30 days.

[0028] Specifically, the phase extraction module samples the I / Q signals at a rate of 8 MSPS inside the FPGA and outputs a 14-bit phase difference Δφ through the CORDIC pipeline.

[0029] Specifically, the edge-cloud collaborative gateway caches ≥24 h of original phase data in the local SD card and automatically resumes transmission after a public network interruption is recovered.

[0030] Specifically, the cloud platform further includes a behavior recognition model, which takes time series θ and φ as input and outputs livestock behavior labels through a 1D-CNN network.
