[0038] Furthermore, a start / stop button for the execution device is provided on the development board. By manually pressing the start / stop button, the start / stop signal is sent to the corresponding execution device.

[0039] This application realizes the wireless control of the start and stop of the execution device through the signal sending module and the signal receiving module, which facilitates the refined management of livestock and also reduces the installation and maintenance costs of the execution device.

[0040] This application controls the exhaust of the sheep house through the fan motor and controls the light of the sheep house through the rolling shutter motor, realizing the multi-faceted management of the sheep house environment. The command control of the development board over the execution device is realized through the signal sending module and the signal receiving module, realizing the wireless control of the execution device, which is beneficial to improving the monitoring efficiency of livestock farms.

[0041] It can be understood that the environmental acquisition module includes an acquisition unit and a receiving unit. The acquisition unit includes a temperature and humidity acquisition node, a light intensity acquisition node, and an ammonia concentration acquisition node. The acquisition unit is wirelessly connected to the receiving unit, and the receiving unit is connected to the development board.

[0043] It can be understood that the receiving unit is connected to the development board through the transistor-transistor logic TTL interface.

[0044] Such as Figure 2As shown in the figure, each environmental data acquisition module includes an acquisition unit and a receiving unit. An acquisition unit includes a temperature and humidity acquisition node, a light intensity acquisition node, and an ammonia concentration acquisition node. The acquisition unit is used to collect the environmental data of the farm, which is composed of sensors (such as temperature and humidity sensors, light intensity sensors, and ammonia sensors) and a Zigbee wireless transmission unit, and is placed at different positions in the farm. The temperature and humidity sensor includes an SHT30 temperature and humidity sensor, whose temperature measurement range is -20~125°C, and the accuracy is 0.3°C; the humidity measurement accuracy is 2%RH.

[0045] The receiving unit is connected to the TTL interface of the development board. The receiving unit is used to receive the environmental data collected from different positions in the farm and send the environmental data to the receiving board for processing. The sensors are used to obtain the environmental data of the livestock farm to complete the acquisition of the temperature and humidity of the farm by the temperature and humidity acquisition node, or to complete the acquisition of the light intensity of the farm by the light intensity acquisition node, or to complete the acquisition of the ammonia concentration of the farm by the ammonia concentration acquisition node. The sensors transmit the collected environmental data (including temperature and humidity, light intensity, and ammonia concentration) to the corresponding receiving unit through the Zigbee wireless transmission unit. The receiving unit sends the environmental data to the development board through the TTL interface.

[0046] Furthermore, in order to make the acquisition nodes more flexible to use, the temperature and humidity acquisition node, the light intensity acquisition node, or the ammonia concentration acquisition node is independently powered by a battery, avoiding the trouble of complex on-site wiring.

[0047] Furthermore, the Zigbee wireless transmission unit uses a laser rangefinder 215C with a power amplifier (LRF215C_PA), which can achieve stable communication of 600 meters with the receiving unit.

[0048] This application obtains the temperature and humidity, light intensity, and ammonia concentration data of the farm through the acquisition unit, realizing multi-faceted monitoring of the environmental data of the farm. Through the Zigbee wireless transmission unit, wireless communication between the sensors and the receiving unit is realized, avoiding the problems of difficult wiring and poor flexibility of wired sensors. Through the TTL interface, wireless data transmission between the receiving unit and the development board is realized, improving the efficiency of environmental data transmission and reducing the transmission cost and maintenance cost of environmental data.

[0049] It can be understood that the display module is connected to the development board through a high-definition multimedia HDMI interface.

[0050] After the display module is powered on, it first detects the pull-down signal of the Hot Plug Detect (HPD). If the pull-down signal is detected, it starts to read the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) of the display to confirm the display parameters. Then, it performs horizontal and vertical synchronization on the display signal, and finally outputs the HDMI signal.

[0051] The display module is connected to the HDMI interface of the development board and is used to display the environmental data of the livestock farm collected on-site, the execution status data of the execution device, and the video data collected by the network camera.

[0052] In this application, by connecting the display module through the HDMI interface, high-definition display of the environmental data, execution status data of the livestock farm, and video data collected by the network camera is achieved.

The infrared camera is placed at the livestock breeding site and is used to measure the temperature of individual livestock. The measured data will also be uploaded to the remote terminal through the network so that the management personnel can evaluate the health status of the livestock.

[0058] Further, the wireless communication module communicates with the host computer through the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol, which is used to send the environmental data collected by the environmental acquisition module and the execution status data of the execution device to the host computer, and receive the video data of the livestock breeding site processed by the host computer.

[0059] The remote terminal includes a host computer, a database, and a mobile terminal. The host computer includes a OneNET (an Internet of Things open platform) host computer, which is used to receive the data sent by the wireless communication module (including environmental data and the execution status data of the execution device) and display it on the Personal Computer Interface (PC). The database is used to store livestock individual information and health status, administrator information, environmental data, and execution status data. The mobile terminal includes a mobile APP, which is used for the interface display of mobile devices. The mobile APP supports viewing the collected environmental data, the execution status data of the execution device, the video data of the farm, and the information of individual livestock.

[0061] The host computer processes the time-frequency data uploaded by the network camera to count the number of livestock in the video and displays the statistical result through the PC interface. At the same time, the host computer sends the statistical result to the wireless communication module and the mobile APP through the network.

[0062] The infrared camera is placed at the livestock breeding site to measure the temperature of livestock individuals, and the measured data will also be uploaded to the remote terminal through the network for management personnel to evaluate the health status of livestock.

[0063] Furthermore, the database includes a Structured Query Language database (MySQL) for jointly managing the individual behavior information of livestock during their growth period and the management data of single livestock, such as vaccination records, health status, breeding conditions, etc., to facilitate the traceability of meat products in the future. In addition, there is also the personal information of the management staff and the facial information for face recognition.

[0064] Furthermore, the mobile APP includes a face recognition module. Users log in to the mobile APP according to the face recognition module and call the API of the OneNET host computer through the mobile APP to realize data display, including displaying the environmental data of the livestock farm, the execution status data of the execution devices, and the video data collected by the network camera.
