Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of poultry breeding technology, and relates to brooding boxes, and more particularly to an intelligent parrot brooding box controlled by multiple sensors. Background Technology

[0002] Brooding is a crucial stage in the breeding of birds such as parrots. Parrot chicks are altricial birds, and their vitality is very weak when they first hatch. When artificially raising them, it is necessary to use a brooding box that can control environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide content to assist in the rearing process, thereby improving the survival rate of parrot chicks.

[0003] Existing Chinese patents for parrot brooders, such as CN201230510Y and CN211657161U, require manual setting of parameters to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the brooder. They do not use temperature and humidity sensors to control the environment inside the brooder, resulting in a low level of intelligence. Furthermore, they lack the function of monitoring the carbon dioxide concentration inside the brooder. Frequent ventilation can easily lead to energy waste, or insufficient ventilation can affect the development of parrot chicks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, one objective of this utility model is to provide a smart parrot brooder controlled by multiple sensors.

[0005] A multi-sensor controlled intelligent parrot brooder includes a rectangular box. A sensor box is located on the inner wall of the box, opposite the door. A control display box is located above the door. An air intake fan is located above the outer wall of the box. A switching power supply box is fixed to the inner wall of the box and communicates with the air intake fan. An ultrasonic humidifier is located on the side wall of the box. Each sensor box has an air inlet and an air outlet at both ends. An internal air filter sponge covers the air inlet. The air intake fan is fixed to the end with the air inlet and adjacent to the air filter sponge. Temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide sensors are located on the inner wall of the sensor box. The control display box contains a microcontroller and an external LCD screen.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the box body is a cuboid composed of a frame-type three-layer box wall. The frame-type three-layer box wall is composed of a frame made of high-density foamed PVC square strips, and the box wall is composed of PVC interior panel, thermal insulation board and PVC exterior panel.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cabinet door can be opened in two directions. The cabinet door frame, composed of high-density foamed PVC square strips, is sandwiched between an inner transparent acrylic panel and an outer transparent acrylic panel. An operating hole connector is used to connect the inner / outer transparent acrylic panels. The operating hole connector is consistent with the opening for connecting the inner / outer transparent acrylic panels, and they are aligned during installation to form an access door.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the switching power supply box is located on the inner side wall of the housing, with an air outlet on its outer side and an air inlet on the opposite side. The switching power supply is fixed inside the switching power supply box. The openings in the PVC interior panel of the housing at the corresponding positions are the same size as the air inlets. After the two openings are aligned, they are tightly connected with screws. The air intake fan is directly opposite the two openings and fixed to the side of the PVC interior panel of the housing. External air flows into the switching power supply box through the air intake fan and then into the housing, and is discharged outside the housing through the air outlet. The air outlet is a through hole and is evenly distributed below the access door.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the box is provided with a top heat spreader plate and the bottom is provided with a bottom heat spreader plate, both of which are made of stainless steel and are bonded to the electric heating device with epoxy resin. Each plate is provided with a temperature sensor, which can heat simultaneously and control independently, making the temperature inside the box more uniform.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the box is further provided with a support net, which is located above the bottom heat dissipation plate at a distance of 1 to 3 cm, preferably 2 cm.

[0011] The multi-sensor controlled intelligent parrot brooder disclosed in this utility model has data from each sensor processed and output by a microcontroller.

[0012] The intelligent parrot brooder disclosed in this utility model uses a multi-sensor control method to perform closed-loop control of the ventilation volume inside the brooder as needed. The control system is controlled by a set computer program, which automatically adjusts the temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration according to preset values. It can also automatically adjust the temperature and humidity inside the brooder according to the preset values ​​based on the age and breed of the parrot chicks initially input, eliminating the need to manually adjust the temperature and humidity of the brooder as the chicks grow older, making it easy to operate.

[0013] See the functional modules and connection methods of the brooder control unit. Figure 10 . Beneficial effects

[0014] This invention features temperature and humidity sensors and a carbon dioxide concentration sensor. It utilizes a microcontroller-programmed system to intelligently control the environment within the brooder, achieving precise control of air temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide parameters. This improves the growth and development of parrot chicks and increases breeding efficiency. Closed-loop ventilation control avoids energy waste caused by ineffective ventilation and utilizes the heat generated by the power supply itself, making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. The microcontroller has built-in parameters for optimal temperature and humidity for parrot chicks at different ages, eliminating the need for daily manual adjustments. Users only need to set the chicks' age at the start of brooding to intelligently control the environment until completion, improving automation. The independent control of the top and bottom heating devices reduces temperature differences within the brooder, decreasing the incidence of disease in the chicks. Attached Figure Description
