[0020] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are used only to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure. Rather, embodiments of this disclosure include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, an intelligent pig farming environment monitoring device is proposed, comprising: a movable structure, a water spray structure and a feces monitoring structure mounted on the lower side of the movable structure, the water spray structure corresponding to the feces monitoring structure, a control structure mounted on the movable structure, a drive structure mounted inside the control structure, the drive structure corresponding to the feces monitoring structure; and an air monitoring structure, a push structure mounted on the control structure, the push structure corresponding to the drive structure, an air monitoring structure mounted on the push structure, a robotic arm mounted on one side of the push structure, and a deep monitoring structure mounted at the end of the robotic arm, the deep monitoring structure corresponding to the water spray structure.

[0022] In this embodiment, the movable structure includes: a base 101, a front wheel 102 and two rear wheels 103 are mounted on the lower side of the base 101, a first motor 104 is mounted on one side of the rear wheels 103, the first motor 104 drives the rear wheels 103 to rotate, and the base 101 is driven to rotate by the speed difference between the two rear wheels 103.

[0023] By using multiple organic matter measuring instruments installed on the base 101, such as the microbial sensor probe 508 in the fecal monitoring structure, the pig farming environment can be monitored. By using water quality monitoring probe 710 in the deep monitoring structure, the pollution monitoring can be carried out together to monitor the environment, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of the pig farming environment and ensuring scientific management of pigs.

[0024] When the device needs to be moved, the first motor 104 is started, which drives the rear wheels 103 to rotate. The rear wheels 103 then drive the device to move, thus controlling its movement. This allows for monitoring of different locations within the pigpen. For free-range pigs, the device can enter the pen when no pigs are present and monitor their feces using the fecal monitoring structure. This enables monitoring of the pigs' health and prevents the growth of viruses or other harmful substances in the pigs' environment. Furthermore, by adjusting the speed of the two rear wheels 103, a speed difference can be created between them, allowing the device to turn, facilitating its movement, expanding its monitoring range, and ensuring monitoring of different locations within the pigsty environment. This improves work efficiency, eliminates the need for manual inspection, and reduces labor costs.

[0025] The water spray structure includes: a first water spray pipe 207 and a second water spray pipe 211; both the first water spray pipe 207 and the second water spray pipe 211 are fixed to the lower side of the base 101. A water cavity 201 is formed inside the base 101. A water pump 203 is fixed to the lower side of the base 101. A water inlet pipe 204 is installed on one side of the base 101, and the water inlet pipe 204 is connected to the water cavity 201. A first connecting pipe 205 and a second connecting pipe 209 are fixed to the lower side of the base 101. The water inlet end of the water pump 203 is connected to the water cavity 201, and the water outlet end of the water pump 203 is connected to the first connecting pipe 205. The first connecting pipe 205 is connected to the second connecting pipe 209. A third connecting pipe 210 is fixed between pipes 209. A first electric valve 206 is installed on the third connecting pipe 210. The first connecting pipe 205 is fixedly connected to the first spray pipe 207. The second spray pipe 211 is fixedly connected to the second connecting pipe 209. The first spray pipe 207 has multiple first spray holes 208. The second spray pipe 211 has multiple second spray holes 212. A second electric valve 213 is installed between the first connecting pipe 205 and the first spray pipe 207. The second spray pipe 211 is connected to the second connecting pipe 209. The fecal monitoring structure is located between the first spray pipe 207 and the second spray pipe 211.

[0026] Specifically, water is pre-filled into the water chamber 201 through the inlet pipe 204. When water spraying is required, the water pump 203 is activated, drawing water from the water chamber 201 and sending it into the first connecting pipe 205. A portion of the water directly enters the first spray pipe 207 and is sprayed out from the first spray hole 208, while the other portion enters the second connecting pipe 209 through the third connecting pipe 210 and flows into the second spray pipe 211, spraying out from the second spray hole 212. This directly sprays water to rinse both sides of the pH sensor probe 507 and the microbial sensor probe 508. Furthermore, the up-and-down movement of the pH sensor probe 507 and the microbial sensor probe 508 provides a good rinsing effect, thereby preventing... To prevent pig manure from adhering to the pH sensor probe 507 and microbial sensor probe 508 after detection, thus affecting the next detection and ensuring the accuracy of the detection results, the system can be configured to prevent this. Furthermore, once the pH sensor probe 507 and microbial sensor probe 508 have completely slid upwards, the first electric valve 206 can be closed, stopping the second water spray pipe 211 from spraying water. Only the water in the first water spray pipe 207 will spray from the first spray hole 208, providing a certain degree of rinsing effect on the ground and thus cleaning the pig manure. When the second electric valve 213 is closed, only the second water spray pipe 211 will spray water, rinsing the water quality monitoring probe 710, ensuring its cleanliness, improving the accuracy of the next detection result, and guaranteeing the monitoring effect on the pig farming environment.

[0027] The control structure includes a control box 301, which is fixed on the base 101. A controller 302 and a battery 304 are fixed inside the control box 301. A display screen 303 is fixed on one side of the control box 301. The display screen 303 is connected to the controller 302 via a data cable.

[0028] Specifically, the controller 302 controls the operation of the device to achieve automatic monitoring, reduce labor costs, and the display screen 303 can display the detection results, allowing for a more intuitive observation of the pig farming environment. This facilitates timely intervention by staff to ensure the health of the pigs.

[0029] The drive structure includes: a second motor 401, which is fixed inside the control box 301. A first friction wheel 402 is fixed to the output end of the second motor 401. A first rotating frame 502 is rotatably fitted inside the control box 301. A first electric cylinder 501 is fixed on the control box 301. The first rotating frame 502 is fixed to the output end of the first electric cylinder 501. A second friction wheel 504 is rotatably fitted on the first rotating frame 502. The first friction wheel 402 and the second friction wheel 504 correspond to each other. A first reciprocating screw 509 is rotatably fitted inside the control box 301. A first sliding shaft 503 is fixed to one end of the first reciprocating screw 509. The first sliding shaft 503 is slidably connected to the second friction wheel 504. A first sliding frame 505 is slidably fitted inside the control box 301. The first sliding frame 505 is threadedly fitted to the first reciprocating screw 509.

[0030] Specifically, when it is necessary to move the fecal monitoring structure up and down, the second motor 401 is activated, causing the second motor 401 to drive the first friction wheel 402 to rotate. This brings the first friction wheel 402 into contact with the second friction wheel 504, causing the second friction wheel 504 to rotate synchronously. The second friction wheel 504 then drives the first reciprocating screw 509 to rotate, thereby causing the first sliding frame 505 to slide up and down. This allows the pH sensor probe 507 and the microbial sensor probe 508 to slide up and down for monitoring. When it is not necessary to move the first sliding frame 505, the first electric cylinder 501 is activated, causing the first rotating frame 502 to slide downwards. This causes the second friction wheel 504 to slide downwards. The second friction wheel 504 then slides on the first sliding shaft 503, thus removing contact between the second friction wheel 504 and the first friction wheel 402. The rotation of the 02 sensor no longer drives the second friction wheel 504 to rotate synchronously. Furthermore, the second friction wheel 504 has a certain friction with the first rotating frame 502. Without external force, this friction wheel 504 can be locked in place, ensuring the stability of the pH sensor probe 507 and the microbial sensor probe 508. This allows for flexible control of the up-and-down movement of the pH sensor probe 507 and the microbial sensor probe 508 to monitor pig manure. The up-and-down sliding of the pH sensor probe 507 and the microbial sensor probe 508 also facilitates cleaning, ensuring their cleanliness and preventing damage from direct contact with the ground during device movement, thus extending the device's lifespan.

[0031] The fecal monitoring structure includes: a pH sensor probe 507 and a microbial sensor probe 508; a first mounting bracket 506 is fixed to the bottom of the first sliding frame 505, and the first mounting bracket 506 is fixedly connected to the pH sensor probe 507 and the microbial sensor probe 508.

[0032] Specifically, the pH value of pig manure is monitored by pH sensor probe 507, which can be used to determine the health of pigs based on the acidity or alkalinity of the manure. Microbial sensor probe 508 monitors the microbial metabolites in pig manure, which can monitor the health of pigs, ensure their health, and expand the applicability of the device.

[0033] The drive structure also includes: a third friction wheel 604; a second electric cylinder 601 is fixed inside the control box 301; a second rotating frame 602 is fixed to the output end of the second electric cylinder 601; the second rotating frame 602 is rotatably connected to the third friction wheel 604; a second sliding shaft 603 is rotatably fitted inside the control box 301; the second sliding shaft 603 is slidably connected to the third friction wheel 604; the third friction wheel 604 corresponds to the first friction wheel 402; and a second reciprocating screw 605 is fixed to the end of the second sliding shaft 603. The screw 605 is rotatably connected to the control box 301. The second reciprocating screw 605 corresponds to the pushing structure. The pushing structure includes: a fixed rod 611, which is fixed to the control box 301. A first sliding groove 612 is provided in the fixed rod 611. The second reciprocating screw 605 is located in the first sliding groove 612. A second sliding frame 613 is slidably fitted in the first sliding groove 612. The second sliding frame 613 is threadedly fitted with the second reciprocating screw 605. A second mounting bracket 614 is fixed to the end of the second sliding frame 613.

[0034] Specifically, when it is necessary to move the second mounting bracket 614 upward to monitor higher concentrations of gases such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia in the air, the second motor 401 is activated. This motor drives the first friction wheel 402 to rotate, causing it to contact the third friction wheel 604 and rotate. This, in turn, drives the second reciprocating screw 605 to rotate, which in turn drives the second sliding bracket 613 to slide up and down. This allows the temperature sensor 615, humidity sensor 606, infrared thermal imaging camera 607, ammonia sensor 608, hydrogen sulfide sensor 609, and carbon dioxide sensor 600 on the second mounting bracket 614 to move upward. The carbon sensor 610 and other structures slide upwards to monitor the environment at higher positions, expanding the applicability of the device. When the first friction wheel 402 does not need to be rotated, the second electric cylinder 601 is activated. The second electric cylinder 601 drives the second rotating frame 602 downwards, thereby driving the third friction wheel 604 downwards. This prevents the third friction wheel 604 from contacting the first friction wheel 402. As a result, the rotation of the first friction wheel 402 no longer drives the third friction wheel 604 to rotate synchronously, ensuring that the position of the second mounting frame 614 remains unchanged. Consequently, the monitoring height of the sensor on the second mounting frame 614 remains unchanged, ensuring stable monitoring.

[0035] The air monitoring structure includes: a temperature sensor 615, a humidity sensor 606, an infrared thermal imaging camera 607, an ammonia sensor 608, a hydrogen sulfide sensor 609, and a carbon dioxide sensor 610. The temperature sensor 615, humidity sensor 606, infrared thermal imaging camera 607, ammonia sensor 608, hydrogen sulfide sensor 609, and carbon dioxide sensor 610 are all fixed to a second mounting bracket 614, with the temperature sensor 615, humidity sensor 606, and carbon dioxide sensor 610 fixed to the top of the second mounting bracket 614, and the infrared thermal imaging camera 607, ammonia sensor 608, and hydrogen sulfide sensor 609 fixed to the side of the second mounting bracket 614.

[0036] Specifically, the temperature sensor 615 and humidity sensor 606 can monitor the temperature and humidity inside the pigpen, and the infrared thermal imaging camera 607 can monitor the pigs, directly displaying the pigs' body temperature, thereby monitoring the pigs' health. Furthermore, by rotating the entire device, it can monitor the pigs in the surrounding area, thus achieving a better monitoring effect. When pigs get sick, they can be detected and treated in a timely manner, thereby reducing losses.

[0037] The in-depth monitoring structure includes: a water quality monitoring probe 710, which corresponds to a robotic arm. The robotic arm includes a first rotating rod 702, a third rotating frame 701 fixed to one side of a second mounting bracket 614, the third rotating frame 701 being rotatably connected to the first rotating rod 702, a third motor 705 fixed on the third rotating frame 701, the output end of the third motor 705 being fixedly connected to the first rotating rod 702, a rotating groove 703 formed in the first rotating rod 702, a second rotating rod 704 rotatably fitted in the rotating groove 703, and a fourth motor 706 fixed to one side of the first rotating rod 702, the output end of the fourth motor 706 being... A third electric cylinder 707 is fixedly connected to a second rotating rod 704. A second sliding groove 708 is provided inside the second rotating rod 704. A fourth rotating frame 709 is rotatably engaged with the output end of the third electric cylinder 707. Multiple fan blades 711 are fixed on the fourth rotating frame 709. A water quality monitoring probe 710 is snapped and fixed on the fourth rotating frame 709. A monitoring camera 712 and a wiping cloth 713 are fixed to the end of the second rotating rod 704. A torsion spring is installed between the fourth rotating frame 709 and the output end of the third electric cylinder 707. The rotation angle between the fourth rotating frame 709 and the output end of the third electric cylinder 707 is 180 degrees.

[0038] Specifically, for a sunken pigpen, the base 101 moves via the rear wheels 103. Activating the third motor 705 rotates the first rotating rod 702, making it horizontal. As the second sliding frame 613 slides upward, the first rotating rod 702 slides upward simultaneously, raising it above the pigpen railing. Then, activating the fourth motor 706 rotates the second rotating rod 704 downward, allowing it to enter the pigpen. Activating the third electric cylinder 707 then moves the fourth rotating frame 709 downward, causing the water quality monitoring probe 710 to move downward and insert into the water tank for water monitoring. To ensure the health of the water used by pigs, the snap-fit ​​structure allows the water quality monitoring probe 710 to be detached and replaced with other monitoring probes, making the device more flexible in use. The monitoring camera 712 can also monitor the pigs, preventing them from bumping into the probe 710 during water monitoring, thus providing better protection and extending the device's lifespan. After monitoring, the probe 710 is cleaned by spraying water through the second spray pipe 211, ensuring its cleanliness. When the probe 710 is retracted, it can be wiped with a cloth 713 for easy cleaning and accurate results for the next use.

[0039] Workflow: Starting the first motor 104 drives the rear wheel 103 to rotate, thus moving the device. Water is pre-filled into the water chamber 201 through the inlet pipe 204. Starting the second motor 401 drives the first friction wheel 402 to rotate, causing it to contact the second friction wheel 504 and rotate synchronously. The second friction wheel 504 then drives the first reciprocating screw 509 to rotate, which in turn causes the first sliding frame 505 to slide up and down. This, in turn, causes the pH sensor probe 507 and the microbial sensor probe 508 to slide up and down. The pH sensor probe 507 monitors the pig manure... The pH value is monitored, allowing the pig's health to be determined based on the acidity or alkalinity of the feces. Microbial sensor probe 508 monitors the microbial metabolites in the feces, enabling monitoring of the pig's health and ensuring its well-being. After monitoring, water pump 203 is activated to draw water from water chamber 201 and send it into first connecting pipe 205. A portion of the water flows directly into first spray pipe 207 and is sprayed from first spray hole 208, while the remaining water flows through third connecting pipe 210 into second connecting pipe 209, then into second spray pipe 211 and is sprayed from second spray hole 212. This allows direct monitoring of both sides of pH sensor probe 507 and microbial sensor probe 508. The system performs water spray rinsing, and as the pH sensor probe 507 and the microbial sensor probe 508 slide up and down, it effectively rinses them. When it is necessary to move the second mounting bracket 614 upward to monitor higher concentrations of gases such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia in the air, the second motor 401 is activated. This causes the second motor 401 to rotate the first friction wheel 402, which then contacts the third friction wheel 604, causing the third friction wheel 604 to rotate. This, in turn, rotates the second reciprocating screw 605, which in turn moves the second sliding bracket 613 up and down. This allows the temperature sensor 615 and humidity sensor 616 on the second mounting bracket 614 to move. 06. The infrared thermal imaging camera 607, ammonia sensor 608, hydrogen sulfide sensor 609, and carbon dioxide sensor 610, among other components, slide upwards to monitor the environment at higher locations, expanding the device's applicability. For sunken pigpens, activating the third motor 705 drives the first rotating rod 702 to rotate, making it horizontal. As the second sliding frame 613 slides upwards, the first rotating rod 702 slides upwards synchronously, raising it above the pigpen railing. Then, activating the fourth motor 706 drives the second rotating rod 704 downwards, allowing it to enter the pigpen, at which point the third electric cylinder 707 is activated.The third electric cylinder 707 drives the fourth rotating frame 709 to slide downwards, thereby moving the water quality monitoring probe 710 downwards so that it can be inserted into the water tank for water monitoring. After monitoring, water is sprayed through the second spray pipe 211 to clean the water quality monitoring probe 710, ensuring its cleanliness. During water flow, the fan blades 711 are pushed, causing the water quality monitoring probe 710 to rotate relative to itself, cleaning its circumference. When the water quality monitoring probe 710 retracts, it can be wiped with a wiping cloth 713 for easy cleaning and to ensure the accuracy of the monitoring results for the next use.
