Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of quail farming environment control technology, and in particular to an intelligent control system for quail farming environment. Background Technology
[0002] Quails are small in size, have a short growth cycle, and are raised at high densities. They have more stringent requirements for parameters such as temperature and humidity, air quality, light duration, and ventilation intensity in the breeding environment, and the parameter requirements vary significantly at different growth stages. There are many problems with the current environmental regulation in quail farming. For example, there is a lack of specific environmental parameter standards for quail farming, and most of the general standards for livestock and poultry farming are used. The control precision is insufficient, which can easily lead to stress reactions in quail, such as feather pecking, decreased egg production, and disease outbreaks. Moreover, there is no standardized data traceability in the farming process, making it difficult to control product quality. Existing simple control equipment is mostly single-parameter control or centralized management, without a complete standardized management process, and cannot achieve a closed loop of parameter collection, standard comparison, intelligent control, and data retention. At the same time, centralized management can easily lead to ineffective control in areas without quail and waste of resources. In addition, the environmental uniformity of different areas in the cages is poor, and the ability to adapt to large-scale and standardized quail farming is insufficient. Furthermore, the use of light, ventilation, and water resources in quail farming lacks scientific control, resulting in excessive consumption. Existing control systems do not take into account the movement characteristics of quail. During the control process, the movement of quail can easily lead to deviations in environmental parameter collection and disordered control logic, affecting the accuracy of control and easily causing stress in quail. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention discloses an intelligent regulation system for quail breeding environment, comprising a regional environmental monitoring unit, a breeding environment monitoring unit, a regional monitoring unit, and an intelligent interaction unit. The regional environmental monitoring unit, the breeding environment monitoring unit, and the regional monitoring unit are used to monitor environmental data within the breeding shed. The intelligent interaction unit receives environmental data information from the regional environmental monitoring unit, the breeding environment monitoring unit, and the regional monitoring unit, processes and stores the information, and displays the information in conjunction with the information regulation system.
[0023] The breeding shed is divided into several areas. Each area is equipped with a set of regional environmental monitoring units, breeding environment monitoring units and regional monitoring units. Each area is equipped with several quail cages, and each quail cage is divided into several layers.
[0024] The regional environmental monitoring unit includes temperature and humidity sensors, ammonia sensors, hydrogen sulfide sensors, fecal humidity sensors, carbon dioxide sensors, and dust sensors. Each layer of the quail cage is equipped with a set of temperature and humidity sensors, ammonia sensors, and hydrogen sulfide sensors. Fecal humidity sensors are installed on the lower side of the lower layer of the quail cage. Carbon dioxide sensors and dust sensors are located at both ends of each area.
[0025] The breeding environment monitoring unit includes a light sensor, a water temperature sensor, and a cage status sensor assembly. The light sensor is installed on the top of the cage, the water temperature sensor is installed inside the water trough, and the cage status sensor assembly is installed on the quail cage to monitor the pressure and ventilation intensity of the quail cage.
[0026] The area monitoring unit includes several cameras, each mounted on a wall within the area, used to collect image data of quails within that area.
[0027] The system monitors quail images in each area via cameras. If an area lacks an image-based intelligent interaction unit, the system shuts down the area's environmental monitoring unit, aquaculture environment monitoring unit, and related environmental control equipment.
[0028] The intelligent interactive unit includes an information processing unit, an execution unit, a storage unit, and an interactive terminal. The information processing unit receives information from the regional environmental monitoring unit, the aquaculture environment monitoring unit, and the regional monitoring unit, processes the information, and transmits it to the execution unit. At the same time, the information is stored in the storage unit. The execution unit controls the system according to the information, and the information is displayed through the interactive terminal. Meanwhile, the staff controls the system through the interactive terminal.
[0029] The information processing unit is used to receive relevant data from the environmental monitoring unit, the aquaculture environment monitoring unit, and the regional monitoring unit, and to clean, deduplicate, remove outliers, and filter the data. The processed data is then transmitted to the execution unit and the storage unit respectively.
[0030] The execution unit controls the relevant equipment in the breeding house through relevant data to regulate the environment inside the breeding house. The execution unit presets standardized thresholds for three stages: chicks, young quails, and laying quails, and regulates each area separately based on the received relevant data.
[0031] The interactive terminals include local interactive terminals and mobile interactive terminals. The local interactive terminals are deployed in the colony, while the mobile interactive terminals include APP and web page.
[0032] The workflow is as follows: 1. The system starts by dividing the breeding house into multiple independent control areas through the regional segmentation module of the edge computing layer according to the preset algorithm, storing the results in the storage unit, and selecting the growth stage of the quails in each area. The system automatically loads the standardized environmental parameter thresholds of the corresponding stage in the storage unit, and sets the distributed control parameters. Staff can fine-tune the standard parameters and distributed parameters according to the breeding species and scale. 2. Image Acquisition and Quail Localization: Cameras in each area are activated at preset intervals to collect image data within the area and transmit it to the information processing unit in the intelligent interaction unit. The information processing unit extracts image features through the similarity recognition module, compares them with the quail feature set using cosine similarity, determines whether there are quails in each area, outputs the corresponding signal, and synchronously marks the initial time point of the area with quails. After the recognition is completed, the similarity recognition of that area is stopped. 3. Based on the similarity recognition results, the sensors in the regional environmental monitoring unit and the aquaculture environment monitoring unit start real-time data collection in areas with quails and enter a low-power standby state in areas without quails, and transmit the collected data to the intelligent interaction unit.
[0033] 4. The intelligent interaction unit processes the collected data, compares the processed data with the standardized threshold of the corresponding stage, stores the data in the storage unit, and generates adjustment instructions based on the comparison results.
[0034] 5. The adjustment command is transmitted to the execution unit. The execution unit drives the execution equipment in the area according to the adjustment command to control the environmental status of each area, so as to achieve energy saving, consumption reduction and pollution reduction; the non-quail area remains in standby state to avoid ineffective energy consumption.
[0035] 6. The execution equipment in each area will feed back the operating status and energy consumption data to the interactive terminal in real time. At the same time, it will continue to collect the adjusted environmental parameters through sensors. If the parameters are restored to the standardized range, it will output an "environment suitable signal" to the interactive terminal.
[0036] If environmental parameters in a certain area exceed the standardized early warning threshold, or if equipment or cameras malfunction, the system will send an early warning of the corresponding level and mark the area. At the same time, it will activate backup equipment and linkage control logic to ensure that the environmental parameters in that area are maintained within the standard range, thereby reducing aquaculture losses.
[0037] Therefore, this invention employs an intelligent regulation system for quail farming environment with the aforementioned structure. The farming shed is divided into multiple independent regulation zones, achieving distributed management of quail positioning, zone adaptation, and precise regulation. This avoids the resource waste and environmental unevenness caused by centralized management. By combining the regulation system with collected relevant data, the environmental state within the farming shed is regulated, avoiding ineffective energy consumption in areas without quail, further reducing energy and resource consumption, and achieving green farming. At the same time, by constructing a standard environmental parameter for the entire growth cycle of quail, a standardized regulation process and a standardized data traceability system are established.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
