As shown in fig. 2, the feeding system of this embodiment includes: the feeder 21 and the water sprayer 22 for dry materials, and optionally, a controller 23 for controlling the feeder 21 and the water sprayer 22, a material tower 24 for dry materials, a conveying line 25 for dry materials, a water tower 26 communicated with the water sprayer 22, a server 27, and the like.
In actual deployment, each trough may be configured with a set of internet of things (Internet of things, IOT for short) device combinations composed of feeders 21, sprinklers 22 and controllers 23, and server 27 may provide feeding policy services for the sets of internet of things device combinations. The server 27 may, for example, employ Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to implement the relevant feeding strategy Service.
The material tower 24 conveys the dry materials to each feeder 21 through the conveying line 25, the water tower 26 conveys water to each water sprayer 22, the discharging direction of the feeders 21 and the water spraying direction of the water sprayers 22 are aligned to the food groove, the dry materials fed into the food groove by the feeders 21 and the water sprayed into the food groove by the water sprayers 22 are mixed to form porridge materials directly in the food groove, the stirrers are not needed to form the porridge materials, the hardware cost is saved, the feeders store the dry materials instead of the porridge materials, the dry materials are not easy to mould and deteriorate, and the feeders are easy to clean and maintain. In addition, if the animals to be fed are pigs, the unique arch feeding mode of the pigs can enable the dry materials and water fed into the feeding trough to be more fully mixed, and the porridge material has better forming effect.
In some embodiments, the water sprayer 22 is provided with a plurality of water spraying holes, and can spray a plurality of water flows like a shower, so that the water is sprayed to the food groove more uniformly, the dry materials are mixed with the water more fully, and the porridge material is formed more effectively.
In some embodiments, the controller 23 is configured to issue a feeding command to the feeder 21 and a draining command to the sprinkler 22, such that the feeder 21 and the sprinkler 22 can automatically feed and drain based on the control command, achieving an automatic feeding effect.
In some embodiments, the controller 23 is configured to issue a feeding command to the feeder 21 and a water discharge command to the water jet 22 according to a preset feeding rule. The feeding rules include, for example, feeding time information, feeding amount information, etc., and may also include or bind porridge material forming rules. The rules of porridge stock formation can affect the degree of consistency of the porridge stock. The feeding rules are configured or adjusted, for example, based on the situation of feeding the animals such that the feeding rules conform to each feeding animal's own generation situation and feeding requirements. The feeder 21 delivers a corresponding amount of dry ingredients to the trough at a corresponding blanking time based on the indication of the blanking instruction. The water jet 22 sprays a corresponding amount of water to the trough at a corresponding launch time based on the indication of the launch command. The feeder 21 and the water sprayer 22 can automatically and accurately feed and drain water based on control instructions, and the effect of automatic and accurate feeding is achieved.
In some embodiments, the controller 23 is configured to alternately issue a feed command to the feeder and a water discharge command to the water jet based on a single feeding demand, e.g., according to a porridge formation rule, such that the feeder 21 and the water jet 22 alternately deliver dry ingredients and water to the trough to form a single porridge. The dry materials and the water are alternately put in, so that the dry materials and the water are mixed more fully, and the porridge material has better forming effect.
In some embodiments, the controller 23 is configured to alternately issue a discharging instruction to the feeder and a discharging instruction to the water sprayer according to the discharging information (discharging time, discharging amount, etc.) and the discharging information (discharging time, discharging amount, etc.) of the preset porridge material forming rule, so that the feeder 21 and the water sprayer 22 alternately throw the dry material and the water into the trough in a proper ratio, the dry material is more fully mixed with the water, and the forming effect of the porridge material is better. The ratio information may be determined experimentally, for example.
Some examples of feeding and porridge formation rules are shown in tables 1 and 2.

In some embodiments, the feeding rules (including or binding porridge stock forming rules) may be issued to the controller 23 by the server 27, for example. The controller 23 is configured to detect a network connection with the server 27, to issue a feeding command to the feeder and a water discharge command to the water jet according to a feeding rule obtained before the network connection is interrupted if the network connection is interrupted, and to issue a feeding command to the feeder and a water discharge command to the water jet according to the new feeding rule based on the network connection acquiring a new feeding rule from the server if the network connection is normal. Therefore, feeding can be successfully completed under the condition of abnormal network.
Based on the feeding system, the present disclosure also proposes a corresponding feeding control method.
FIG. 3 is a schematic flow chart of some embodiments of the feeding control methods of the present disclosure. The method may be performed, for example, by a controller.
As shown in fig. 3, the method of this embodiment includes:
and 31, the controller sends a discharging instruction to a feeder which is filled with dry materials and the discharging direction of which is aligned with the food trough, and the feeder feeds the dry materials to the food trough based on the discharging instruction.
The feeding command may include, for example, a feeding time and a feeding amount, and the feeder may feed dry material to the feeding tank according to the feeding time and the feeding amount indicated by the feeding command. The feeding command can be used as a trigger command only, and the feeding time and the feeding quantity are not included, so that the feeder responds to the feeding command and feeds dry materials to the food trough according to the preset time and the preset quantity. The preset time may be, for example, 0, indicating that the execution is immediately after receiving the instruction.
And step 32, the controller sends a water discharge instruction to a water sprayer of which the water spraying direction is aligned with the food groove, and the water sprayer sprays water to the food groove based on the water discharge instruction.
The water draining instruction can comprise water draining time and water draining amount, and the water sprayer sprays water to the food groove according to the water draining time and the water draining amount indicated by the water draining instruction. The water discharge command may be a trigger command only, and the water discharge time and the water discharge amount are not included, so that the water sprayer sprays water to the food groove according to the preset time and the preset amount in response to the water discharge command. The preset time may be, for example, 0, indicating that the execution is immediately after receiving the instruction.
In addition, based on a feeding requirement, a discharging instruction and a discharging instruction can be alternately sent out, and correspondingly, dry materials and water are alternately put into the feeding tank, so that the dry materials and the water are mixed more fully, and the porridge material has better forming effect.
Therefore, the dry materials put into the food groove by the feeder and the water sprayed into the food groove by the water sprayer are mixed and directly form porridge materials in the food groove without a stirrer, so that the hardware cost is saved, the feeder stores the dry materials instead of the porridge materials, the dry materials are not easy to mould and deteriorate, and the feeder is easy to clean and maintain. In addition, if the animals to be fed are pigs, the unique arch feeding mode of the pigs can enable the dry materials and water fed into the feeding trough to be more fully mixed, and the porridge material has better forming effect.
