Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of poultry breeding equipment, and in particular relates to a light control system for off-season goose breeding. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional goose farming relies heavily on the natural breeding cycle, exhibiting a pronounced seasonality. Egg production is concentrated in spring, leading to seasonal fluctuations in the supply of goose eggs and goslings. The egg-laying season typically lasts from October to November, followed by a rest period from April to August of the following year. This results in a severe shortage of goslings, meat geese, and foie gras in the market from July to October. While this period is ideal for goose farming due to abundant water and grass, the lack of goslings often creates a situation of abundant grass but no geese, making fresh foie gras a scarce commodity. In winter, from January to February, the peak season for goslings arrives, but the number of geese on farms drops sharply, leading to an oversupply of goslings and a significant price drop. Therefore, off-season goose breeding is an important way to improve the efficiency of goose farming. However, the off-season environment differs greatly from the natural breeding season, resulting in lower survival rates for goslings raised in winter, significantly increasing the cost of goose farming during winter. Light is a key environmental factor affecting the reproductive physiology of geese. Traditional light control methods are insufficient to meet the precise lighting requirements of off-season goose breeding. They suffer from problems such as the inability to dynamically adjust light according to the actual condition of the flock and inaccurate perception of the light environment, failing to effectively activate the geese's physiological regulatory mechanisms and thus impacting their reproductive performance. Therefore, an off-season goose breeding light control system capable of precisely controlling multispectral light and sensing the light environment in real time is needed to solve the technical problems of existing technologies.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, it should be noted that many details listed in the specification are merely to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of this utility model, and these aspects can be achieved even without these specific details.
[0020] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this utility model provides a light control system for off-season goose breeding. The light control system includes a goose house 1, a multispectral LED array 2 distributed and installed in the top of the goose house, a light environment sensing network 3 distributed and installed on the inner side wall of the goose house, and a control assembly 4. The control assembly 4 includes a dimming control box 10 installed on the outer side wall of the goose house 1, and a controller, a data transceiver module, and a multi-channel PWM dimmer installed in the dimming control box 10. The PWM control output terminal of the controller is electrically connected to the control terminal of the multispectral LED array 2 through the PWM dimmer. The light environment sensing network 3 and the data transceiver module are respectively connected to the controller. In this novel system, the light environment sensing network 3 includes a light intensity sensor (light range 0-500 lux, accuracy ±2%), a spectral detection sensor (resolution 1 nm), a temperature and humidity sensor, and an odor sensor. When abnormal reproductive behavior is detected in the geese, the system can adjust the light intensity, spectrum, and duration accordingly. The multispectral LED array 1 consists of a 480 nm blue light module (activating ipRGCs and regulating the biological clock), a 660 nm red light module (promoting melatonin secretion and regulating the reproductive cycle), and a 3000-6500 K adjustable white light module. The adjustable white light module adjusts the spectrum and light intensity according to the growth and reproductive stages of the geese, simulating natural light. Changes in ambient light affect the behavior and physiological state of geese. The multispectral LED array 1 ensures uniform scattering of the spectrum within the goose house 1. The data transceiver module is a Zigbee wireless communication transceiver module or a 4G / 5G communication module. The controller is an STM32F103 series processor. Each PWM dimmer output is equipped with an LED driver, which connects to the multispectral LED array 2. The LED driver is an XL4001 driver, a high-efficiency step-down DC-DC converter with a fixed 150kHz switching frequency, capable of providing up to 2A of current. The output voltage is 1.235V-37V. The PWM control loop has an adjustable duty cycle that changes linearly from 1-100%. In this invention, the controller controls the output of the PWM dimmer by adjusting the control signal and drives each multispectral LED array 2 through the LED driver. The adjustment mode can be set as follows: 30-minute progressive brightening (0-200 lux), with the spectrum gradually changing from a red-blue ratio of 3:7 to 1:9. During the day, the blue light intensity I is maintained and adjusted according to the following mode: I = 20 × ln(t) + 50 lux, where t is the number of hours after the lights are turned on. During the twilight stage, the intensity decreases linearly over 60 minutes, while simultaneously increasing the proportion of red light (triggering melatonin secretion).Light intensity sensors are installed at different heights to accurately monitor light intensity at different heights. Spectral sensors perform real-time analysis of the light spectrum across the entire goose house roof, precisely locating areas of uneven lighting. Based on the detected spectral parameters and temperature / humidity parameters, the system automatically adjusts the spectral composition of the corresponding areas, achieving over 90% uniformity in light intensity and temperature / humidity regulation within 24 hours. A data transceiver module communicates with a remote user terminal (mobile phone) or computer terminal, enabling human-computer interaction. The system allows setting light parameters for different growth cycles (gosling stage, rearing stage, breeding stage) and breeding stages, including photoperiod (12L:12D or 14L:10D), spectral ratio (e.g., R:B = 1.5:1), and light intensity (300-400 lux). The system allows setting control schemes and real-time display of operating status. Simultaneously, a 4G communication module encrypts and transmits data to a cloud server. Farmers can view real-time data and historical records anytime via a mobile app or PC client, supporting remote adjustment of light parameters (e.g., emergency reduction of light intensity at night to simulate natural circadian rhythms). By precisely controlling the light intensity of the blue light module, the red light module, and the white light module group can be adjusted to achieve continuous spectral adjustment in 500K steps within the range of 3000-6500K. Under the illumination of the goose breeding season, when the spectrum is adjusted to 5000K and the photoperiod of 14L:10D is maintained, the egg production rate of geese is increased by 11.5% compared with traditional single-spectrum illumination. When the light intensity is less than 300 lux for 30 minutes from 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning, if more than 20% of the geese are found to be sluggish, an audible and visual alarm (not shown) is automatically triggered by setting up an audible and visual alarm on the outer wall of the goose house 1. The detection parameters (such as adding 50 lux of blue light stimulation) are pushed to the control terminal (mobile terminal or computer terminal) of the breeder through the data transceiver module, so as to achieve precise control of the light environment in the goose house.
[0021] In this utility model, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, an opening 21 is provided on the front side of the goose house 1, and a feeding port (not shown) is provided on the rear side of the goose house 1. A sealing door 20 for sealing the opening is provided between the two ends of the front side of the goose house 1. Exhaust fans 22 are respectively provided on the side walls of both ends of the goose house 1, and blowers 23 are respectively provided on the side walls of the sealing door 20. By detecting the gas parameters and odor parameters in the goose house through temperature and humidity parameters and odor sensors, appropriate ventilation and exhaust are carried out, which not only improves the ventilation effect of the goose house, but also is more conducive to the overall breeding and survival rate. Support legs 11 are provided at the bottom of the goose house 1. A drawer box 24 that slides from the direction of the opening 21 is provided in the bottom of the goose house 1. The front end of the drawer box 24 is fixedly connected to the lower inner side wall of the sealing door 20. A universal support wheel 25 for sliding the sealing door panel 20 is provided at the lower end of the sealing door panel 20. The universal support wheel 25 is fixed to the lower end of the sealing door panel 20 by a support rod 26. A transparent window 200 is provided in the center of the sealing door panel 20. A camera 201 is provided on the transparent window 200. The camera 201 is used to monitor the behavior of the goose flock in real time and upload it to a remote user terminal (mobile phone) or computer terminal. When breeding is required, the drawer box 24 is pulled out by the sealing door panel 20, so that the drawer box 24 and the sealing door panel 20 slide out of the goose house 1 by the universal support wheel 25. Then the goose flock is placed in the drawer box 24, and then the drawer box 24 is pushed into the goose house 1.
[0022] In this utility model, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the drawer box 24 has a bottom plate 240 that can be opened downwards. Rotating shafts 241 are respectively provided at both ends of the rear side of the bottom plate 240. The two ends of the rear side of the bottom plate 240 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two ends near the rear side of the drawer box 24 through the rotating shafts 241. A hanging ring 242 is provided on the upper front surface of the bottom plate 240. The hanging ring 242 is suspended (not shown) by a chain rope to the inner wall of the sealed door panel 20. After the breeding is completed, the drawer box 24 is pulled out from the goose house 1, and the chain rope on the hanging ring 242 is removed from the inner wall of the sealed door panel 20. At this time, the bottom plate 240 rotates vertically downwards around the rotating shaft 241, and the front end of the bottom plate 240 is rotated and placed on the ground. The geese can then be released from the bottom plate 240, and the goose house can be cleaned easily. This is not only conducive to the breeding of geese, but also better ensures the safe operation of the breeding goose house and the rapid adjustment of parameters such as light.
[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
