Moreover, each of the analytical data 300 is used for an airtight poultry house poultry farming area 40 in combination with market product demand analysis and evaluation of the capacity utilization of the airtight poultry house poultry farming area 40.
In the present embodiment, the poultry farming area 40 includes a weighing platform 41 for generating a scale data (not shown), and the database 30 automatically calculates the food consumption and growth rate of the poultry in the poultry farming area 40 and integrates them into the plurality of analytical data 300 according to the scale information and the farming area data 200 generated by the combination of the water quantity sensor 16 and the feed quantity sensor 17.

In the present embodiment, the intelligent monitoring automatic control system 1 of the airtight poultry house of the invention further includes: an uninterrupted power system 50 connected to the detection module 10, the control module 20, and the database 30. In another embodiment not shown, the uninterrupted power system 50 may be connected to one or a plurality of the detection module 10, the control module 20, and the database 30 according to requirements, and is not limited herein.
In the present embodiment, the intelligent monitoring automatic control system 1 of the airtight poultry house is disposed in the poultry house body 500 to control the airtight state of the poultry farming area 40 in the poultry house body 500.
According to
As described above, the technical content of the invention discloses collecting the farming history information and large data analysis via the monitoring automatic control system, finding out the correlation between the growth factor and the environment, automatically generating the best production mode of different production areas, and applying them in agricultural animal husbandry to improve market assessment and performance evaluation. For example, temperature control is significantly related to the rate of mortality reduction. Therefore, if the analytical data of each module conflicts with each other, then the temperature is taken as the first priority consideration factor, and after the correlation of each value is fed, the upper and lower limits (automatic control of numbers) of the original input produce different calculation results.
The poultry house body 500 may be tunnel ventilated, and the fan 210 may be disposed at one end of the length direction thereof, and the number thereof may be, for example, 4 to 6 groups controlled in sections. In addition, the poultry house body 500 may be provided with side windows 500A that may be opened in sections, and 4 to 6 pieces of the water curtain module 22 disposed at two sides of the span direction thereof to introduce fresh air from the outside. The water curtain modules 22 may be located at the other end of the poultry house body 500 away from the fans 210.
Therefore, when the air passes through the water curtain modules 22, the air is cooled due to the absorption of heat by evaporation of moisture, and the temperature of the poultry house body 500 may be lowered. In addition, via the forced exhaust of the fans 210, the heat generated by the poultry may be removed. When the poultry sucks in the cool air, the effect of removing the heat in the lungs may also be achieved. Moreover, the convective heat dissipation of poultry reaches maximum removal speed, and because of air cooling, the convection heat dissipation of poultry is increased. In addition, another function of the water curtain modules 22 is to remove undesirable gases and indirectly reduce respiratory diseases, eye problems, and other diseases of poultry caused by bad gas. For example, reducing the number of bacteria, increasing the amount of oxygen in the air, etc., may all reduce disease.
In contrast, heat preservation is especially important in the growth stage of the poultry chicks. Smaller poultry are more sensitive to cold stimulation. Therefore, moderate temperature reduction of the poultry house is important. Therefore, the control of the water curtain modules 22 is even more important. In addition, in another embodiment, a baffle may be provided inside the poultry house body 500 for flow conversion, and a fence is used to partition the poultry to prevent the poultry from excessively gathering in a cooler place.
In order to achieve the foregoing and other objects, an intelligent monitoring automatic control system of an airtight poultry house of the invention includes: at least one detection module 10 for generating a farming area data in an airtight environment of a poultry farming area; and at least one control module 20 disposed in the processing unit 100. The control module 20 is provided with a processing unit automatic control rule, and the processing unit 100 is used to automatically control the airtight state of the poultry farming area according to the processing unit automatic control rule and the farming area data, such as setting the temperature to 15 degrees, and when the on-site temperature is equal to 15 degrees, the system automatically turns on the first fan (small). When the temperature is equal to 16 degrees, the system automatically turns on the second fan (medium). When the on-site temperature reaches 17 degrees, the system automatically turns on the third fan (large). When the on-site temperature is equal to or greater than 17 degrees for over 5 minutes, the system further adds a water curtain to assist in cooling, so that the temperature of the at least one poultry farming area drops to a set value. The above example is only a simple description for the operation mode of the processing unit 100 and is not a necessary limitation of the invention. The processing unit 100 also performs automatic control behavior on the humidity, illumination, pressure, etc. of the detection module 10 of the system; and a database 30 stores the farming area data via the processing unit 100 and automatically generates a plurality of analytical data according to the farming area data and the airtight state of the at least one poultry farming area; wherein each of the plurality of analytical data is to be exported via at least one of a video wall, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a car computer, a personal digital assistant, a tablet computer, a smart phone, a digital photo frame, and a wearable device to be read.
When the intelligent monitoring automatic control system of the airtight poultry house of the invention is started, the detection module 10 generates the farming area data 200 according to the airtight state of the poultry farming area 40, and then the control module 20 is configured to automatically control the airtight state of the poultry farming area 40 according to the processing unit automatic control rule and the farming area data 200 such that the poultry farming area 40 is in a negative pressure state. As a result, the efficacy of eliminating bird flu may be achieved, and the reliance on the manpower of the on-site staff may be reduced via the intelligent control module 20, so as to achieve the objective of immediate and effective treatment and problem solving when a problem occurs. Moreover, the system may also analyze and process the poultry farming on-site information via the database 30, so that the poultry farmers or the relevant management personnel of the farming area may obtain instant information via at least one of a video wall, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a car computer, a personal digital assistant, a tablet computer, a smart phone, a digital photo frame, a wearable device, and an alarm to make a correct and efficient judgment and enhance the quality of poultry farming, and after future analysis, a computer may be trained to automatically calculate the optimal growth mode of each plant.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the intelligent monitoring automatic control system of the airtight poultry house is connected to a National Epidemic Center or connected to an external weather meter. When relevant epidemic situation information of the National Epidemic Center is received, the frequency of external spraying of disinfectant may be increased. When the information of the weather meter is determined to reach a certain state (for example, colder weather resulting in an increase of bird flu factor), the number of indoor disinfection spraying is automatically increased. Furthermore, since although the poultry house body 500 of the present embodiment is a closed poultry house, there is still a diversion system of the fans 210 and the side windows 500A to assist in cooling and increasing oxygen content, so the possibility of airborne infection still exits. In particular, at least 40% of known diseases are transmitted via the air, and another 40% of diseases are transmitted via fluid contact. Nearly 10% of diseases are highly correlated with fecal contamination, and 70% of sudden acute diseases are related to ambient air quality. Therefore, the airtight poultry house of the present embodiment may also assist in flow disinfecting liquid via external reflection and a low screen density design to naturally form a protective wall and hinder the opportunity of airborne infection and in combination with fecal safety to prevent the occurrence of at least half of the diseases.
