Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sow feeding technology, specifically to an intelligent sow feeding system with residual feed monitoring function. Background Technology

[0002] Postpartum paralysis in sows, also known as postpartum paralysis or wind paralysis, is an acute hypoglycemic disorder (acute neurological disorder) that occurs suddenly after sows give birth, characterized by loss of consciousness and paralysis of the limbs. It can occur regardless of breed, age, parity, or body condition. Currently, the etiology of this disease is not fully understood. It is generally believed to be due to a lack of calcium and phosphorus in the diet, an imbalance in the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio, insufficient vitamin D content, or insufficient exercise and light exposure leading to vitamin D deficiency. This results in decreased absorption capacity of the body. Postpartum lactation in sows leads to a sudden decrease in blood calcium and blood sugar levels due to the loss of these levels through milk, causing dysfunction of the cerebral cortex. This is also attributed to the sow's low immunity. To eliminate this disease, the main focus is on improving the feeding and management conditions of sows, paying particular attention to a balanced diet and supplementing with mineral feeds. Secondly, it is crucial to strengthen pre- and post-partum care for sows, providing ample clean, dry hay and manually turning them 2-3 times daily. Pre-partum exercise should also be encouraged, ensuring sufficient sunlight, dry pens, and good ventilation. Finally, pregnant sows should be fed at least 20g of bone meal and 20g of salt daily, along with easily digestible, nutrient-rich concentrated green fodder. Among the aforementioned solutions, a reasonable combination of nutrients and supplemental mineral feed are essential for sows' diets. However, the requirements for sows' living habits are overly complicated, indicating that the effective components of the feed are not high. Therefore, it is necessary to scientifically understand the growth and reproduction patterns of pigs, evaluate feeding effects, and find scientific, economical, and practical sow feeding methods. To improve the effectiveness of sow feeding, this invention provides an intelligent sow feeding system with leftover feed monitoring functionality. The existing technology has the following problems:

[0003] 1. Existing intelligent feeding systems for sows with residual feed monitoring functions cannot achieve remote control to automatically dispense feed according to the type and weight of feed. The cost of manual feeding is high, and it cannot achieve diversified feeding of feed types or quantitative feed dispensing.

[0004] 2. Existing intelligent feeding systems for sows with residual feed monitoring functions cannot weigh the remaining feed inside the feed trough, making it difficult to monitor the remaining feed in real time, which easily leads to feed waste and cannot meet the needs of modern pig production. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A smart feeding system for sows with residual feed monitoring function includes the following:

[0008] S2.

The pressure sensor of the weighing guardrail device is installed on the crossbar, the inner pen for weighing pigs is suspended on the weighing connecting rod, and the weighing connecting rod is attached to the tension sensor.

[0009] S3. Data monitoring: The weighing feed trough device includes a pressure sensor that weighs the remaining feed inside the weighing feed trough to monitor the sow's feeding status in real time.

[0010] S4. Feeding Information Upload: After the pressure sensor weighs the remaining feed inside the symmetrical weighing trough, the weighing data is remotely transmitted through a wireless router and mobile terminal, allowing staff to monitor remotely.

[0011] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: the S1 wireless router is used to acquire network signals and convert the network signals into wireless network signals; the mobile terminal communicates with the wireless router; the mobile terminal receives the wireless network signals and establishes a matching connection; the automatic feeder communicates with the wireless router; the automatic feeder receives the wireless network signals and establishes a matching connection with the mobile terminal.

[0012] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: the automatic feeder communicates with the wireless router, and the automatic feeder receives the wireless network signal and establishes a matching connection with the mobile terminal.

[0013] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: the S2 controller includes a computer, and its input / output interface is connected to a display for simply displaying the pig's individual parameters, load-bearing control parameters, feeding control parameters and identification code information.

[0014] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: the S2 weighing trough device includes a support frame, a pressure sensor, and a trough. The pressure sensor is fixed on the support frame, and the trough is suspended on the pressure or tension sensor. There is a gap between the trough and the support frame, and an automatic adjustment device in the front-back and left-right directions is provided between the trough and the support frame.
