Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of poultry and livestock research, and specifically relates to a poultry and livestock media information collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there is no poultry-specific media information collection device for AI model training. CN204965102U discloses a breeding environment information collection device, but due to its hoisting characteristics, it can only collect information at the location of livestock and poultry farming. Poultry farming sites are usually difficult to enclose, making precise information collection impossible. Furthermore, livestock release different information at different stages, but within the same livestock farming site, livestock exist in different states, making it difficult to collect the required information in a targeted manner.

[0003] Birds are born with the instinct to peck. From the moment they hatch, they start pecking off their eggshells, and this pecking behavior accompanies them almost throughout their lives. The equipment used for media information collection was not designed with this issue in mind. Therefore, the pecking behavior of birds has a high probability of damaging these media information collection devices, thus failing to guarantee the effective and accurate collection of information.

[0004] Vocalization is a manifestation of animal behavior and possesses rich biological functions. It is not only a means of communication but also contains feedback information about the animal's internal state and needs, reflecting its physical condition and adaptation to the environment to a certain extent. Experienced livestock researchers can understand the current health status of animals through their vocalizations. Therefore, using vocalization information as an indicator for animal welfare assessment has become a new direction in livestock research. Furthermore, the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology and applications in recent years has led to a greater demand for audio and video samples for training models. Consequently, the demand for specialized media information data collection rooms for livestock has also increased significantly. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a media information collection cabin for stable and accurate collection of poultry media information. It includes a collection cabin body, which is constructed from the outside in by bonding together a soundproof outer shell, sound-absorbing panels, sound-absorbing felt, dense sound-absorbing cotton, a damping metal layer, a sound-absorbing solid wood frame, and sound-absorbing interior panels to form a soundproof layer. The top of the cabin is equipped with air inlets and outlets, as well as lights and wiring boxes. The interior houses a power supply module and a media information collection module. The air inlets and outlets ensure air circulation within the cabin, guaranteeing a comfortable environment for the poultry.

[0006] Inside the sound-absorbing chamber, a protective wall panel, at least 80cm high, protects the interior sound-absorbing panels. This panel is made of smooth plastic. The smooth plastic protects the panels from damage caused by pecking by common poultry. Geese are typically the largest of the poultry, and this height effectively prevents pecking damage to the sound-absorbing panels. Air inlets, outlets, and junction boxes are located at the top.

[0007] The collection chamber features an integrated feed and water inlet on one side, forming a supply port for poultry feed and drinking water. On the same side, below the inner edge of the collection chamber, a supply trough is located, with partitions dividing it into a water trough and a feed trough. This supply port design allows keepers to easily add poultry feed and drinking water to the water and feed troughs within the chamber, reducing time and labor costs during feeding. Researchers can add feed and water without opening the collection chamber, minimizing disturbance to the animals and media noise during collection. The opening fan is designed to be normally closed to prevent interference from the external environment when no feed or water is being provided.

[0008] The bottom of the collection chamber is also equipped with a manure collection device to collect poultry excrement. Centralized collection of poultry excrement facilitates regular cleaning, reduces management difficulty, and improves collection efficiency. Furthermore, effective manure collection reduces odor spread, lowers environmental pollution, and improves sanitation around the collection chamber.

[0009] The media information acquisition module is suspended inside the acquisition chamber and can acquire both image and audio data. Additionally, a power outlet integrated into the power supply module is located on one side of the acquisition chamber, allowing researchers to easily use electrical equipment requiring mains power to observe the behavior of the birds after entering the chamber.

[0010] The collection chamber is equipped with a soundproof door that can be locked from the outside to prevent poultry from accidentally opening the door after entering the collection chamber.

[0011] Rollers are installed on the outer bottom of the collection chamber, and a waterproof layer is installed on the inner bottom of the collection chamber, which is sealed to the wall panel.

[0012] The portable media information collection cabin for poultry, as described in this invention, reduces noise during media information collection from poultry and isolates them from adverse external influences. The purer media information is more conducive to training and analyzing large-scale models. Combining the collected information with artificial intelligence technology enables automatic identification and classification, improving the intelligence level of poultry management. It can assess the adaptability of poultry to the environment, such as the impact of temperature, humidity, and noise on their behavior, providing a basis for improving the breeding environment. Through data analysis, management measures such as feed feeding and environmental adjustments can be optimized, improving poultry growth efficiency and production benefits. Furthermore, video and audio data can be used to analyze poultry behavioral patterns, helping to identify abnormal behaviors. Attached Figure Description

[0015] A media information collection chamber for stable and accurate collection of poultry media information. It includes a collection chamber body, constructed from the outside in by bonding together a soundproof outer shell, sound-absorbing panels, sound-absorbing felt, dense sound-absorbing cotton, a damping metal layer, a sound-absorbing solid wood frame, and sound-absorbing interior panels to form a soundproof layer. The top of the chamber has an air inlet 3, an air outlet 4, and a junction box 5. Inside, there is a power supply module 1 and a media information collection module 2. The air inlet 3 and air outlet 4 ensure air circulation within the chamber, providing a comfortable environment for the poultry. The collection chamber also includes lights for illumination.

[0016] Inside the sound-absorbing chamber, a protective wall panel, at least 80cm high, is installed to safeguard the sound-absorbing interior panels. This panel is made of smooth plastic. The smooth plastic protects the sound-absorbing interior panels from damage caused by pecking behavior from common poultry. Among poultry, geese are typically the largest, and this height effectively prevents pecking by geese from damaging the sound-absorbing wall panel.

[0017] The preferred air inlet 3 and air outlet 4 are connected to a total heat exchanger duct installed outside the collection chamber. The total heat exchanger can recover heat and humidity from the air inside the chamber, reducing energy consumption for heating or cooling the outside air during ventilation and improving energy efficiency. Fresh air introduced through the exchanger undergoes heat exchange treatment, reducing the direct entry of external pollutants and improving air quality inside the chamber. By maintaining suitable temperature and humidity, a normal living environment for poultry is ensured.

[0018] Furthermore, the total heat exchanger is equipped with an intelligent control system that can automatically adjust its operating status according to actual needs, improving the convenience and flexibility of management. Its workload can be adjusted at any time according to the environment inside the chamber.

[0019] In a second preferred embodiment, small fans are installed at the air inlet 3 and the air outlet 4, which are powered through the junction box 5, and mosquito nets are installed at the openings where they come into contact with the outside.

[0020] A further preferred embodiment is that an exhaust fan is installed at the air outlet 4, and mosquito nets are installed at the openings of the air inlet 3 and the air outlet 4 where they come into contact with the outside.

[0021] A further preferred embodiment is that an exhaust fan is installed at the air outlet 4, and a mosquito net is installed at the opening of the air inlet 3 where it contacts the outside.

[0022] A feed inlet and a water inlet are integrated on one side of the collection chamber to form a replenishment port 6, facilitating the supply of poultry feed and drinking water. A replenishment trough 7 is located on the lower inner side of the same side of the collection chamber, with partitions forming a water trough and a feed trough respectively. The design of the replenishment port 6 allows farmers to easily add poultry feed and drinking water to the chamber, reducing time and labor costs during feeding. Researchers can add feed and water without opening the collection chamber, reducing noise during collection.

[0023] Preferably, the opening fan of the supply port 6 is configured as an inward-pushing type, and a sealing strip can be installed on the outside of the supply port 6. Half of the strip is fixed to the cabin body, and the other half limits the opening fan to prevent the supply port 6 from being pushed open from the inside and to prevent poultry from escaping. The strip can effectively prevent interference from the external environment, such as rainwater and dust, and maintain a clean and stable environment inside the cabin.

[0024] Furthermore, sound insulation cotton can be added to the contact point between the baffle and the outer side of the supply port 6 opening fan, which can effectively prevent interference from external sounds.

[0025] Furthermore, a limiting rod is installed on the outside of the opening fan, so that researchers do not need to keep the opening fan open when adding feed and water, but can operate the adding operation with one hand or with two researchers working together.

[0026] In a secondary preferred embodiment, the opening fan of supply port 6 is configured as an outward pull type. A sealing strip can be installed on the outside of the opening fan, with one half of the strip fixed to the opening fan and the other half acting as a limit for the opening fan. The strip can effectively prevent interference from the external environment, such as rainwater and dust, and maintain a clean and stable environment inside the cabin.

[0027] Furthermore, sound insulation cotton can be added at the contact point between the baffle and the outer side of the cabin to effectively prevent interference from external sounds.

[0028] Furthermore, the fan can be rotated 180°, allowing researchers to have more visibility while adding feed, thus gaining a better view and better observing the condition of the collection chamber and poultry.

[0029] Furthermore, a limit card is installed at the 180° rotation point of the opening fan to facilitate operation by researchers. Therefore, when adding feed and water, researchers do not need to keep the opening fan open and can operate the replenishment operation with one hand or with two researchers working together.

[0030] A manure collection device 9 is also installed on one side of the bottom of the collection chamber. The arrangement of the manure collection device 9 can be implemented in various ways.

[0031] Implementation Method 1: A manure collection trough with gaps is provided on one side of the bottom of the collection chamber. Poultry excrement falls through this trough to a lower manure collection box for collection. A sealing ring is installed at the joint between the manure collection box and the collection chamber. When manure cleaning is not required, the manure collection box acts as a sealed connection between the lower layer and the chamber, preventing external noise. The manure collection box is removed when cleaning is needed. Centralized collection of poultry excrement facilitates regular cleaning, reduces management difficulty, and improves work efficiency. In addition, effective manure collection reduces odor diffusion, lowers environmental pollution, and improves the sanitary conditions around the collection chamber.

[0032] Preferably, the upper layer of the manure collection trough is covered with a poultry slatted floor, the middle layer is filled with water-absorbing materials such as rice husks and sawdust to form a sludge-absorbing layer, and the lower layer is a manure collection box connected to the collection chamber, which is made of a large plastic tray and covered with sound-absorbing panels.

[0033] The next preferred option is to lay poultry slatted floorboards on the upper layer of the manure collection trough, fill the middle with rice husks and coconut coir as absorbent materials to form a sludge-absorbing layer, and the lower layer is a manure collection box connected to the collection chamber, which is made of a large plastic tray and covered with sound-absorbing panels.

[0034] A further preferred embodiment has a poultry manure slatted floor on the upper layer of the manure collection trough, with sawdust and coconut coir filling the middle as absorbent materials to form a manure-absorbing layer, and a manure collection box connected to the collection chamber on the lower layer, which has a large plastic tray as the box body and is covered with sound-absorbing panels.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment, the upper layer of the manure collection trough is covered with a poultry manure slatted board, the middle layer is filled with wood chips as a water-absorbing material to form a sewage-absorbing layer, and the lower layer is a manure collection box connected to the collection chamber, which is made of a large plastic tray and covered with sound-absorbing panels.

[0036] In the fifth preferred design, the upper layer of the manure collection trough is covered with a poultry manure slatted board, the middle layer is filled with rice husks as a water-absorbing material to form a sewage-absorbing layer, and the lower layer is a manure collection box connected to the collection chamber, which is made of a large plastic tray and covered with sound-absorbing panels.

[0037] In the sixth preferred design, the upper layer of the manure collection trough is covered with a poultry manure slatted board, the middle layer is filled with coconut coir as a water-absorbing material to form a sewage-absorbing layer, and the lower layer is a manure collection box connected to the collection chamber, which is made of a large plastic tray and covered with sound-absorbing panels.

[0038] Regarding the orientation of the supply port 6 and the sewage collection device 9, preferably, one side of the sewage collection trough 9 is positioned opposite one side of the supply port 6. That is, both are positioned opposite each other and adjacent to the soundproof door 8 on one side of the collection chamber.

[0039] In a second preferred configuration, one side of the sewage collection device 9 is adjacent to one side of the supply port 6. The sewage collection trough 9 is positioned opposite the soundproof door 8 on one side of the collection chamber.

[0040] A further preferred embodiment is that one side of the sewage collection device 9 is adjacent to one side of the supply port 6. The supply port 6 is positioned opposite the soundproof door 8 on one side of the collection chamber.

[0041] Different layouts have their advantages and disadvantages. For example, when one side of the soundproof door 8 is opposite the sewage trough, researchers can have a complete corner to set up other collection or research equipment, improving space utilization. When one side of the manure collection device 9 is set opposite the other side of the supply port 6, researchers can observe the poultry manure excretion when adding supplies.

[0042] Based on the habits of poultry, if necessary, the manure collection device 9 can be extended to the bottom of the entire collection chamber and matched with a manure collection box of the appropriate size.

[0043] Implementation method 2: Based on the area of ​​the bottom of the collection chamber, the fecal collection device 9 uses multiple large plastic trays as the box and lays sound-absorbing panels on the bottom layer.

[0044] The preferred method is to fill the middle layer with rice husks and sawdust as absorbent materials to form a sludge-absorbing layer, and lay a slatted manure board on top to form a manure collection box.

[0045] The next preferred option is a manure collection box with rice husks and coconut coir filling the middle as absorbent materials to form a sludge-absorbing layer, and a slatted manure board laid on top.

[0046] A more preferred option is a manure collection box consisting of a middle layer filled with sawdust and coconut coir as absorbent materials to form a sludge-absorbing layer, and a slatted slatted board laid on top.

[0047] A further preferred embodiment is a manure collection box consisting of a middle layer filled with wood chips as an absorbent material to form a sludge-absorbing layer, and an upper layer of a slatted slatted board.

[0048] The fifth preferred design is a manure collection box consisting of a middle layer filled with rice husks as an absorbent material to form a sludge-absorbing layer, and an upper layer of a slatted manure-leaving board.

[0049] The sixth preferred design is a manure collection box consisting of a middle layer filled with coconut coir as an absorbent material to form a sludge-absorbing layer, and a slatted slatted board laid on top.

[0050] For example, if the area of ​​the collection chamber is a square of 10 square meters, then four large plastic trays with a top surface area of ​​2.40-2.45 square meters are selected. With a certain redundancy, the bottom space of the entire collection chamber is filled as much as possible. At this time, the supply trough 7 is set on the fecal collection device 9 to ensure that researchers can operate conveniently when they need to replace the fecal collection device 9.

[0051] In both of the above embodiments, depending on the type of poultry being studied, if the noise generated by poultry excrement is insufficient to affect the acquisition operation of the media information acquisition module 2, the sound-absorbing panel at the bottom layer can be omitted. For example, when studying geese, since the liquid characteristics of goose excrement are significantly higher than those of solids, it will not generate much noise audio interference, so the lower sound-absorbing panel can be omitted, thereby saving research costs.

[0052] In agriculture, materials such as coconut coir, rice husks, and sawdust are readily available and offer the following advantages: all three materials effectively absorb and retain moisture, contributing to soil hydration and plant growth. Their loose structure provides good air circulation, aiding root respiration and promoting plant health. They can improve soil physical properties, enhancing soil structure and fertility. When used as mulch on the soil surface, they can suppress weed growth, reducing the need for chemical herbicides.

[0053] Rice husks have a high water absorption capacity, effectively absorbing and retaining moisture. Their loose structure and good air permeability make them an ideal absorbent material. Wood chips provide good airflow due to their granular structure, and as a byproduct of wood processing, using natural materials helps protect the environment and reduce waste. Coconut coir is also an ideal absorbent material. In coastal areas of southern China and Hainan Island, coconut coir is readily available and relatively inexpensive, making it a suitable choice for the middle layer of manure collection bins.

[0054] The media information acquisition module 2 is suspended inside the media acquisition cabin and can acquire both image and audio data. Additionally, a power outlet integrated into the power supply module is located on one side of the acquisition cabin, allowing researchers to easily use electrical equipment requiring mains power to observe the behavior of the birds after entering the cabin.

[0055] Preferably, audio and image information are acquired using modular devices, which can simultaneously meet the needs of acquiring both audio and video information.

[0056] Furthermore, the microphone of the audio information acquisition device is covered with a windproof cap to prevent wind noise from the air inlet and outlet from creating background noise and affecting the acquisition of audio noise.

[0057] The next preferred configuration includes a separate microphone and a surveillance camera with audio pickup capabilities. Data from the surveillance camera is used for live video transmission, connected to the network via a low-voltage module in junction box 5, providing researchers with real-time video feeds. Audio information is collected by the separate microphone. Later, when there is a need to combine audio and video information, it will be parallelized through a media processing application and provided to large-scale artificial intelligence models for analysis and training.

[0058] The principle behind microphones collecting sound information is primarily based on the conversion of mechanical vibrations of sound waves into electrical signals. Therefore, the suspended mounting design not only avoids interference from poultry pecking behavior but also absorbs vibrations through flexible wiring, ensuring optimal microphone pickup.

[0059] The collection chamber is equipped with a soundproof door 8, which can be locked from the outside to prevent poultry from accidentally opening the door after entering the collection chamber.

[0060] The bottom outer side of the acquisition chamber is also equipped with rollers 10, and the bottom inner side of the acquisition chamber is also equipped with a waterproof layer, which is sealed to the wall panel. At the four outer corners of the bottom plate, rollers 10 with braking function are installed to facilitate the movement of the recording chamber.

[0061] Preferably, the waterproof layer is applied using waterproof wall stickers laid flat on the inner bottom layer of the collection chamber.

[0062] It is also important to note that while this specification provides detailed descriptions of various embodiments, it is crucial to understand that these embodiments do not necessarily contain single, isolated technical solutions. This method of description aims to convey information more precisely and clearly; however, it does not imply that every embodiment that can be implemented without creative effort constitutes an independent technical solution.
