[0002] At present, laying hen farms generally use three-dimensional breeding cages (usually 4-12 layers) to raise laying hens. Although this has improved breeding efficiency and expanded the scale of breeding, it has also brought new management problems. For adult laying hens, the stocking density of three-dimensional breeding cages is 20-25 per square meter. Such a high density puts higher requirements on the ventilation, temperature and humidity of the poultry house. Once fowl plague or respiratory diseases occur, they will spread quickly, causing serious economic losses.
[0003] In order to avoid the above situation, managers need to conduct daily inspections frequently, but manual inspections are extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is extremely difficult to check every chicken without omission, which is almost an impossible task. Therefore, it is necessary to design an automatic inspection device to solve the shortcomings of manual inspections. Utility Model Content

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be a communication between two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the mobile laying hen disease monitoring device in this embodiment includes a plurality of boxes 2 arranged on one side of a three-dimensional chicken cage 1 and arranged longitudinally, and an infrared probe 3, a camera 4 and an auxiliary roller 5 are provided on the outer wall of the box 2 on the side adjacent to the three-dimensional chicken cage 1. The infrared probe 3 and the camera 4 are both facing the side of the three-dimensional chicken cage 1 to monitor the health status of the laying hens.
[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary roller 5 is rotatably arranged on the upper edge of the trough 6, and the auxiliary roller 5 is a passive wheel, which plays an auxiliary supporting role; a bracket 7 is provided on the top of the three-dimensional chicken cage 1, and an I-beam 8 is provided at the end of the bracket 7. A driving assembly is provided on the top of the uppermost box 2, and the driving assembly is connected to the I-beam 8 in transmission, thereby driving multiple groups of boxes 2 to reciprocate along the horizontal direction of the three-dimensional chicken cage 1.
[0024] The driving assembly includes a driving motor 9, a U-shaped frame 10 and a roller 11. The driving motor 9 is arranged on one side of the I-beam 8. The U-shaped frame 10 is arranged on the outer periphery of the I-beam 8 and a roller 11 is provided on each inner wall on both sides. The roller 11 is rollingly connected to the bottom sides of the I-beam 8, and the driving motor 9 is transmission-connected to one of the rollers 11.
[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, a connecting block 12 is correspondingly provided at the top and bottom of the box body 2, and a connecting hole 13 is provided on the connecting block 12. A pin shaft 14 is used to pass through the connecting holes 13 of the two connecting blocks 12 between the two adjacent boxes 2, thereby realizing the connection between the two boxes 2.
[0026] The driving motor 9 drives the roller 11 to move along the I-beam 8, and then drives the multiple groups of boxes 2 to move as a whole along the horizontal direction of the three-dimensional chicken cage 1. During the movement, the health status of the laying hens is monitored in real time through the infrared probe 3 and the camera 4, and reported to the remote control terminal to remind the management personnel to pay attention to the status of the laying hens in time.
[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, a single-chip microcomputer, a power module and a communication module are arranged in the box 2, the infrared probe 3 and the camera 4 are connected to the single-chip microcomputer through electrical signals respectively, the power module and the communication module are connected to the single-chip microcomputer through electrical signals respectively, and the communication module is connected to the remote control terminal through electrical signals.
[0028] The above modules can be realized by using existing technologies. For example, the single chip computer can adopt STM32F103 series microcontroller, which is connected to the infrared probe 3 and the camera 4 through an external expansion I / O interface or a USB interface; the power module can adopt PAB-A30-100W module power supply, which can output 5-48V voltage, which can increase the 5V working voltage of the single chip computer on the one hand, and provide 12V or 24V working voltage for the infrared probe 3 and the camera 4 on the other hand; the communication module can adopt ESP8266 WIFI serial communication module or DAM-3950 series 485 communication module, so as to realize wired or wireless communication with the remote control terminal; the remote control terminal can be a computer, a tablet computer or a mobile phone, which is convenient for the management personnel to remotely check the health status of the laying hens.
[0029] The infrared probe 3 is mainly used to monitor fever-related diseases, such as avian influenza, cholera, infectious rhinitis, etc. The normal body temperature of laying hens is 40-41.5°C. When the above diseases occur, the body temperature will rise to 43-44°C or even higher, which is significantly higher than that of normal laying hens. At this time, the infrared probe 3 will generate a corresponding voltage signal and transmit it to the single-chip microcomputer, and then transmit it to the remote control terminal through the communication module, which is convenient for management personnel to view.
[0030] Camera 4 is mainly used to monitor non-fever diseases, such as respiratory diseases, E. coli infection, coccidiosis, etc. When such symptoms appear, laying hens will behave abnormally, such as being separated from the group, standing still, curling up, pale combs, etc. These abnormal behaviors can be observed in real time through camera 4 and transmitted to the remote control terminal to remind the management personnel to make further screening and judgment.
[0031] Compared with the traditional manual inspection method, the mobile laying hen disease monitoring device of the utility model effectively improves the inspection efficiency and reduces the workload of management personnel.
