The implementation of the invention

The remote data transmission system for safe feeding of roughage to pasture animals consists of at least one feeder in the form of a hopper 1, (see Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), the side surfaces of which are made of rods 2, installed at an angle of, for example, 45 °, while the lower part of the hopper 1 of the feeder is made in the form of a continuous solid strip 3, 40-50 cm high, and at least one side of the vertical rib (not shown in Fig.) of the hopper 1 of the feeder is installed at least one inductive sensor 4, for example, brand ISN IC 15 P5-01G-R100E-LS27 (see the company NPK Teko JSC) with the ability to respond to the appearance of metal objects in their area of operation, while in one of the lower corners of the hopper 1 of the feeder there is a special compartment 5 in which the controller 6 is located an electronic control device with software and a power supply 7, and the compartment 5 is equipped with a hatch 8 in which a controller 6 and a power supply 7 are installed with the possibility of failure, and a hay roll 9 is loaded into the hopper 1, with at least one feeder in the form of boo Nker 1 is installed on a pasture field 10, the size of which is at least 1000 × 1000 m, and the system is additionally equipped with at least four sensors 11 for transmitting information (DP-PI) from the controller 6 and the transmission sensor 12 information (DPI) to the stationary operator control panel (in FIG. not shown), at least four sensors 11 for receiving and transmitting information are installed at the edges of the pasture field 10 at a distance of 100-1000 m from each other with the possibility of transmitting information to the sensor 12 for transmitting information to a stationary operator control panel using telemetry systems with synchronous transmission of information, for example, using either GSM, or GPRS, or UAVs (not shown in FIG.), using a field sensor for recording ultra-wideband (UWB) electromagnetic pulses and an algorithm for processing its output signal the beam, the design of which includes (in Fig. not shown) the actual element - the transducer of the electromagnetic field of the radio wave into an electric signal and a feeder line connecting the sensor to the recording device. This line is an integral element of the design and largely determines the important parameters of the field sensor. In the vast majority of cases, it is made from a coaxial feeder. The converter element is an electrically short dipole. The length of the dipole (see Fig. 5) is 2l = C = 3.3 cm, the diameter of the shielded cavity in the plane of symmetry is B = 7.6 cm, A = 38.6 cm, D = 0.32 cm. The rise time of the transition characteristic about 0.11 ns, the upper limit of the frequency range is above 3.5 GHz, the maximum amplitude of the output voltage is up to 1 kV. The presence of a screen in the equatorial plane, the relative diameter of which is B / 2l> 2.3, greatly expands the polarization characteristic (see the sensor from AD-70 PRODYN Technologies, Inc, http: // prodyntech.com/).

The remote data transmission system for the safe feeding of roughage to pasture animals is operated as follows.

Coarse feed is loaded into the hopper 1 of the feeder, a roll of hay 9, which is placed along the entire hopper 1 and occupies, as a rule, the entire volume of the hopper 1 of the feeder, respectively equal to the height of the roll of hay 9, the animals eat hay through the feed intermediate sectors between the rods 2, set at an angle on four sides on the side surfaces, while in the lower part of the hopper 1 of the feeder, made in the form of a continuous solid strip 3, 40-50 cm high, there are leftover hay from roll 9, which are then collected for animals. When a random metal object (in FIG. Not shown) gets into the range of sensors 4, the operation of which is based on a change in the oscillation amplitude of the generator (not shown in FIG.) When metal objects get into the active zone of sensor 4, an electric signal is transmitted to controller 6 , which receives power from a power source 7, installed in a special compartment 5 with a hatch 8 with the possibility of eliminating breakdowns, and accumulates statistics of the supplied signals, allowing to assess the condition of uncker 1 of the feeder, in this case, since at least one feeder in the form of a hopper 1 is installed on the pasture field 10, the size of which is at least 1000 × 1000 m, at least four of which are installed on the edges a sensor 11 for receiving and transmitting information from the controller 6 and a sensor 12 for transmitting information to a stationary operator control panel, at least four sensors 11 for receiving and transmitting information are installed at the edges of the pasture field 10 at a distance of 100-1000 m from each other with the possibility transmitting information to the sensor 12 before Using information from a telemetry system with synchronous transmission of information, it can transmit either to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which performs flight in good weather or GSM, or GPRS, for example, in case of bad windy weather, then the data is transmitted to a stationary control panel to the operator serving feeders for pasture animals, while a field sensor is used to register UWB electrons as a sensor for receiving and transmitting information and a sensor for transmitting information to a stationary control panel to the operator magnetic pulses and the processing algorithm of its output signal, and when establishing radio communication with UAVs formed during the passage of an unmanned aerial vehicle above the feeder through a special command and telemetric radio line in the frequency range 902-922 MHz, it transfers the accumulated information to the UAV, after which it is returned to the base , the information is transmitted to the animal care operator, which allows him to take the actions necessary to prevent the ingress of a metal object into the body of the animal. Thus, in the presence or absence of warning signals, the operator constantly receives information about the state of the safety level when feeding roughage, which also reduces labor costs when servicing pasture animals.

The invention in comparison with the prototype and other known technical solutions has the following advantages:

- ensuring safe feeding of roughage to animals, by supplying the system with inductive sensor sensors with the ability to detect random metal objects, and pasture fields with sensors for transmitting information and a sensor for transmitting information to a stationary operator control panel;

- the exception of the death of animals due to the ingestion of metal objects with food;

- reduction of labor costs when servicing animals;

- the use of large pasture fields for arranging feeders in the form of a bunker, for more productive feeding of animals with fresh grass and roughage.
