Description

水產養殖動物之餵食控制裝置 Feeding control device for aquaculture animals

本發明係關於一種水產養殖動物之餵食控制裝置,尤指一種適用於全自動化水產養殖動物之餵食設備。 The present invention relates to a feeding control device for an aquaculture animal, and more particularly to a feeding device suitable for fully automated aquaculture animals.

目前的水產養殖動物技術中,雖然已有專用的餵食設備,但其只有簡單的啟動、關閉、及流量控制等功能,並未有特別偵測水產養殖動物活動狀態之功能。換言之,習知的餵食設備仍必須仰賴人員去開啟餵食、停止、或調節餌料的流量等。 In the current aquaculture animal technology, although there is a dedicated feeding device, it has only simple functions such as start-up, shutdown, and flow control, and does not have the function of specifically detecting the activity state of aquaculture animals. In other words, conventional feeding devices still have to rely on personnel to turn on feeding, stopping, or adjusting the flow of the bait.

然而,按照一般養殖業者的習慣,通常會在固定的時間開啟設備而啟動餵食,但啟動後養殖業者一般不會長時地停留於投料處;也就是說,養殖業者並不會於整個餵食期間皆停留在投料處觀察水產養殖動物的索餌狀況,故時常發生投料量不足或過量之情況。另一方面,某些水產養殖動物食餌的位置係位於水面下或甚至池底,故即使養殖業者於池岸觀察索餌情況,仍無法獲得完整情況。 However, according to the habits of the average aquarist, the equipment is usually started at a fixed time to start feeding, but after the start, the aquaculture industry generally does not stay in the feeding place for a long time; that is, the aquaculture company does not during the entire feeding period. Staying at the feeding site to observe the condition of the bait of the aquaculture animal, it is often the case that the amount of feed is insufficient or excessive. On the other hand, the position of the diet of some aquaculture animals is located below the surface of the water or even at the bottom of the pool, so even if the aquarist observes the bait on the bank, it still cannot obtain the complete condition.

此外,如上所述,當有投料量不足的情況發生時,有可能會造成水產養殖動物的生產遲緩、或長成的尺寸不一,甚至也有可能因投料量不足造成搶食,而 導致水產養殖動物損傷。另外,當有過量投料的情況發生時,不僅造成餌料的浪費,過剩的餌料會殘留於養殖池中而腐敗,嚴重者將導致水質酸化,進而影響池內的水產養殖動物生存。 In addition, as described above, when there is insufficient feeding amount, there may be a delay in the production of aquaculture animals, or the size of the growing animals may be different, and even the feeding amount may be insufficient to cause food. Causes damage to aquaculture animals. In addition, when excessive feeding occurs, not only the waste of the bait is caused, but the excess bait will remain in the breeding pond and be spoiled. In severe cases, the water will be acidified, thereby affecting the survival of the aquaculture animals in the pond.

由此可知,一種成本低廉、可彈性搭配現有之任何形式餵食裝置、又可即時觀測水產養殖動物的索餌情況,並且全自動化控制投料之水產養殖動物之餵食控制裝置實為目前水產養殖動物產業之迫切期待者。 It can be seen that a feeding device with low cost, flexible combination with any existing feeding device and real-time observation of aquaculture animals, and a fully automatic controlled feeding aquaculture animal feeding control device is the current aquaculture animal industry.

另外,V型架314固接於中空管313上,另有二浮力構件315組設於V型架314上,且在正常使狀態下,二浮力構件315係沉於養殖池P之水面下;因若浮力構件315浮於水面上,於餵食時,餌料容易堆積於浮力構件315上,除了浪費餌料外,時間一久餌料將造成腐敗而影響環境衛生。再者,請一併參閱圖3,圖3係本發明水產養殖動物之餵食控制裝置一較佳實施例之浮架31的局部立體圖,如圖中所示,本實施例之中空管 313之第二端31B末端固設有一導槽311,且在中空管313之第二端31B上鄰近導槽311處又裝設一滑輪312。 In addition, the V-shaped frame 314 is fixed on the hollow tube 313, and the other two buoyancy members 315 are assembled on the V-shaped frame 314, and in the normal state, the two buoyancy members 315 are suspended under the water surface of the breeding pool P. Because if the buoyancy member 315 floats on the water surface, the bait is likely to accumulate on the buoyancy member 315 during feeding, and in addition to wasting the bait, the bait will cause corruption and affect environmental sanitation for a long time. Furthermore, please refer to FIG. 3 together. FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of a floating frame 31 of a preferred embodiment of the feeding control device for aquaculture animals of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the hollow tube of the present embodiment is shown. A guide groove 311 is fixed to the end of the second end 31B of the 313, and a pulley 312 is further disposed on the second end 31B of the hollow tube 313 adjacent to the guide groove 311.

請再一併參閱圖4,圖4係本發明水產養殖動物之餵食控制裝置一較佳實施例之Y型架的前視圖。如圖1及圖4所示,本實施例之升降機構32設置於鄰近出料口210處,即位於餌料的投料區內,然此處所稱投料區乃係包括水面上及水下,其因應水產動物之種類及其索餌習性而不同,例如當所養殖之水產養殖動物為台灣鲷魚時,投餌區即位於水面上;又如所養殖之水產養殖動物為蝦時,投餌區即位於水面下方甚至池底。 Please refer to FIG. 4 again. FIG. 4 is a front view of a Y-frame of a preferred embodiment of the feeding control device for an aquaculture animal of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the lifting mechanism 32 of the present embodiment is disposed adjacent to the discharge opening 210, that is, in the feeding area of the bait, and the feeding area referred to herein includes water surface and underwater, and the corresponding The type of aquatic animals and their feeding habits are different. For example, when the cultured aquaculture animal is Taiwanese carp, the feeding area is located on the water surface; and if the cultured aquaculture animal is shrimp, the feeding area is Located below the water surface or even at the bottom of the pool.

另外,升降機構32包括一Y型架320、一致動器323及一傳動纜324,而Y型架320係由一立板321及二分岔板322所構成,而立板321穿設於導槽311並可自由滑動。其中,本實施例之導槽311為一矩型導槽,其除了可以導引Y型架320進行升降作動外,亦可充分避免Y型架320產生不必要之旋動。 In addition, the lifting mechanism 32 includes a Y-shaped frame 320, an actuator 323 and a transmission cable 324, and the Y-shaped frame 320 is composed of a vertical plate 321 and a two-way slab 322, and the vertical plate 321 is disposed in the guiding slot 311. It is free to slide. The guide groove 311 of the embodiment is a rectangular guide groove, which can not only guide the Y-shaped frame 320 to perform lifting operation, but also can prevent the Y-shaped frame 320 from generating unnecessary rotation.

又,本實施例之致動器323為一線性馬達,其設置於中空管313之第一端31A的一側,而傳動纜324之一端連接至致動器323,傳動纜324之另一端經由中空管313之第一端31A穿至第二端31B,並繞經滑輪312而連接至Y型架320上。據此,一旦啟動致動器323時,便可經由拉動傳動纜324,而使Y型架320作升降運動。而且,本實施例之傳動纜324藏於中空管313內部,藉此避免傳動纜324受到外物干擾而影響作動,亦可避免日曬雨淋延長使用年限。 Further, the actuator 323 of the present embodiment is a linear motor which is disposed on one side of the first end 31A of the hollow tube 313, and one end of the transmission cable 324 is connected to the actuator 323, and the other end of the transmission cable 324 The first end 31A of the hollow tube 313 is passed to the second end 31B and connected to the Y-shaped frame 320 via the pulley 312. Accordingly, once the actuator 323 is activated, the Y-frame 320 can be moved up and down by pulling the drive cable 324. Moreover, the transmission cable 324 of the present embodiment is hidden inside the hollow tube 313, thereby preventing the transmission cable 324 from being disturbed by foreign objects and preventing the sun and rain from prolonging the service life.

再且,本實施例之光電感應模組33為一光遮斷模組,其包括一光發送器331及一光接收器332,而光發送器331及光接收器332分設於Y型架320之該二分岔板322末端。此外,本實施例之水產養殖動物感測模組3更包括一攝像器34,其組設於Y型架320上,而本實施例之攝像器34可於水下拍攝水產養殖動物,以獲得所飼養之水產養殖動物的相關信息或狀態,例如尺寸大小、數量、活動力、或索餌情況等等。然而,本實施例之光發送器331、光接收器332及攝像器34上皆塗附有除藻劑,藉以抑制藻類生長,以免因滋生藻類而影響上述電子器件之運作。 Moreover, the photo-sensing module 33 of the present embodiment is a light-blocking module, which includes an optical transmitter 331 and a light receiver 332, and the optical transmitter 331 and the optical receiver 332 are respectively disposed on the Y-shaped frame. The end of the dichotomy plate 322 of 320. In addition, the aquaculture animal sensing module 3 of the present embodiment further includes a camera 34, which is disposed on the Y-shaped frame 320, and the camera 34 of the embodiment can photograph the aquaculture animals underwater to obtain Information or status of aquaculture animals raised, such as size, quantity, activity, or bait. However, the optical transmitter 331, the light receiver 332 and the camera 34 of the embodiment are coated with an algaecide to inhibit the growth of algae, so as to prevent the operation of the electronic device due to the breeding of algae.

再者,關於控制器4,其係電性連接於餵食裝置2與水產養殖動物感測模組3,且本實施例之控制器4包括一影像處理部41及一計時器42,計時器42係用來計算餵食期間,其可預先設定,例如設定上午8點至10點以及下午4點至6點為餵食期間,當抵達餵食期間時控制器41便啟動餵食之控制。然而,於餵食期間,控制器4控制升降機構32作動以驅使光電感應模組33及攝像器34沉入養殖池P之水面下,並控制光電感應模組33啟動感應以及控制攝像器34拍攝水產養殖動物;當光電感應模組33感應到水產養殖動物時,控制器4控制餵食裝置2進行投料。 Further, the controller 4 is electrically connected to the feeding device 2 and the aquaculture animal sensing module 3, and the controller 4 of the embodiment includes an image processing unit 41 and a timer 42. The timer 42 It is used to calculate the feeding period, which can be preset, for example, set from 8 am to 10 am and from 4 pm to 6 pm for feeding, and the controller 41 starts the feeding control when the feeding period is reached. However, during the feeding, the controller 4 controls the lifting mechanism 32 to act to drive the photoelectric sensing module 33 and the camera 34 to sink into the water surface of the breeding pool P, and controls the photoelectric sensing module 33 to activate the sensing and control the camera 34 to capture the aquatic product. The animal is cultured; when the photoelectric sensing module 33 senses the aquaculture animal, the controller 4 controls the feeding device 2 to perform the feeding.

更一步說明,於餵食期間,當有水產養殖動物F位於光發送器331與光接收器332之間時將構成光遮斷,此時光電感應模組33便送出信號,來告知控制器 4已有水產養殖動物F來索餌,而控制器41便控制餵食裝置2啟動投料。相反地,如果始終都沒有水產養殖動物F來索餌,亦即光發送器331與光接收器332間未被遮斷,則控制器4便控制餵食裝置2關閉投料。當然,於餵食期間,本實施例之光電感應模組33並不是一直啟動著,而是採用間歇性的啟動,例如每間隔數秒或數分鐘,且每次啟動持續數秒或數分鐘,藉此提升準確度。不過,本發明之其他實施例態樣之光電感應模組33亦可採用整個餵食期間持續啟動感測。 Further, during the feeding period, when the aquaculture animal F is located between the optical transmitter 331 and the light receiver 332, light blocking will be formed. At this time, the photoelectric sensing module 33 sends a signal to inform the controller. 4 The aquaculture animal F has been used to feed the bait, and the controller 41 controls the feeding device 2 to start feeding. Conversely, if there is no aquaculture animal F to feed the bait, that is, the optical transmitter 331 and the light receiver 332 are not interrupted, the controller 4 controls the feeding device 2 to close the feeding. Of course, during the feeding period, the photoelectric sensing module 33 of the embodiment is not always activated, but is intermittently activated, for example, every second or several minutes, and each startup lasts for a few seconds or several minutes, thereby improving Accuracy. However, the photoelectric sensing module 33 of other embodiments of the present invention can also continuously sense the sensing during the entire feeding period.

此外,於餵食期間,且光電感應模組33確實感測有水產養殖動物在索餌時,控制器4將自動監控攝像器34所拍攝之影像,且控制器4之影像處理部41將辨識並計算攝像器34所拍攝之影像中水產養殖動物的尺寸大小,而控制器4便根據辨識及計算的結果來控制流量控制器22。據此,本實施例可根據來索餌之水產養殖動物F的尺寸大小,進一步控制餵食之餌料流量,例如當有較大型水產養殖動物F來索餌時便增大餌料的投料流量,藉此可避免投料量不足或搶食;又例如都是小型水產養殖動物F來索餌時,便調節餌料的投料流量,以避免投料過量之情形發生。然而,在本發明的其他實施態樣中,亦可透過攝像器34監控來索餌之水產養殖動物F數量、活動力及餵食狀況等等,來控制餵食之餌料流量。 In addition, during the feeding, and the photoelectric sensing module 33 does sense that the aquaculture animal is in the feeding, the controller 4 will automatically monitor the image captured by the camera 34, and the image processing unit 41 of the controller 4 will recognize and The size of the aquaculture animal in the image taken by the camera 34 is calculated, and the controller 4 controls the flow controller 22 based on the results of the identification and calculation. Accordingly, the present embodiment can further control the flow rate of the feeding bait according to the size of the aquaculture animal F to which the bait is taken, for example, when there is a larger aquaculture animal F to feed the bait, the feeding flow rate of the bait is increased, thereby It can avoid insufficient feeding or grazing; for example, when small-scale aquaculture animals F are used to feed the bait, the feeding flow of the bait is adjusted to avoid the situation of excessive feeding. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, the amount of the F, the activity, the feeding condition, and the like of the aquaculture animal to be used for feeding the bait can also be monitored by the camera 34 to control the flow of the bait for feeding.

另外,在本發明的其他實施態樣中,攝像器34也不以水下拍攝為限,亦可於水面上方朝索餌的水產 養殖動物拍攝,如圖1中所示之攝像器35,其雖然也是組設於Y型架320上,但即便是當光電感應模組33下沉至養殖池P時,攝像器35仍位於水面上,且同樣可以獲得所飼養之水產養殖動物F的相關信息或狀態,例如尺寸大小、數量、活動力、或索餌情況等等。當然,在較佳的實施例中,可同時設置水下拍攝之攝像器34以及水上拍攝之攝像器35。 In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, the camera 34 is not limited to underwater shooting, and may also be directed to the aquatic product above the water surface. The farm animal is photographed, as shown in FIG. 1 , although it is also disposed on the Y-shaped frame 320, even when the photoelectric sensor module 33 sinks to the breeding pool P, the camera 35 is still on the water surface. The information or status of the raised aquaculture animal F, such as size, quantity, activity, or bait, etc., can also be obtained. Of course, in the preferred embodiment, the underwater camera 34 and the underwater camera 35 can be simultaneously set.

另一方面,一旦餵食期間結束,控制器4則控制升降機構32作動以驅使光電感應模組33及攝像器34上升而位於養殖池P之水面上,以避免光電感應模組33及攝像器34因長期沉於水下而滋生藻類。因此,本實施例俾能即時觀測水產養殖動物F的索餌情況,進而全自動化控制開啟或關閉餵食,甚至根據來索餌之水產養殖動物F的尺寸大小、數量、活動力、或索餌情況等等,以控制餌料的流量,更可避免有投料量不足或過量投料之情形發生。 On the other hand, once the feeding period is over, the controller 4 controls the lifting mechanism 32 to move the photoelectric sensing module 33 and the camera 34 to rise on the water surface of the breeding pool P to avoid the photoelectric sensing module 33 and the camera 34. Algae grows due to long-term sinking in the water. Therefore, in this embodiment, the condition of the aquaculture animal F can be immediately observed, and then the automatic feeding can be turned on or off, even according to the size, quantity, activity, or feeding condition of the aquaculture animal F. Etc., in order to control the flow of the bait, it is also possible to avoid the situation that there is insufficient feeding or excessive feeding.

此外,又如圖1及圖2中所示,本實施例之餌料槽20中設置有一餌料感測模組5電性連接至控制器4,其為一微動開關。換言之,當微動開關感測到餌料槽20內的餌料不足時,控制器4便控制餵食裝置2關閉投料。然而,本發明之餌料感測模組5並非以微動開關為限,其他各式的等效感應元件亦可適用於本發明,例如光電感應元件或壓力感應元件等。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a bait sensing module 5 is disposed in the bait tank 20 of the embodiment to be electrically connected to the controller 4, which is a micro switch. In other words, when the micro switch senses that the bait in the bait tank 20 is insufficient, the controller 4 controls the feeding device 2 to turn off the feeding. However, the bait sensing module 5 of the present invention is not limited to the micro switch, and other various equivalent sensing elements can also be applied to the present invention, such as a photo sensing element or a pressure sensing element.

更進一步,本實施例更包括一無線傳輸模組6,其電性連接至控制器4,其主要係用於連線至一外部 裝置7;而無線傳輸模組6可採用紅外線通訊、射頻通訊、藍芽通訊、無線網路通信(Wi-Fi)、全球互通微波存取(WiMax)、群蜂(ZigBee)、Z-Wave、第三代行動通訊(3G)、第四代行動通訊(4G)以及第五代行動通訊(5G)等符合通訊協定之網路訊號以傳送或接收執行指令之網路訊號。另一方面,外部裝置7可以是遠端控制中心、遠端個人電腦或其他便攜式電子裝置如筆記型電腦、行動電話或平板電腦等。 Further, the embodiment further includes a wireless transmission module 6, which is electrically connected to the controller 4, and is mainly used for connecting to an external device. Device 7; and wireless transmission module 6 can use infrared communication, radio frequency communication, Bluetooth communication, wireless network communication (Wi-Fi), global interoperability microwave access (WiMax), group bee (ZigBee), Z-Wave, Third-generation mobile communications (3G), fourth-generation mobile communications (4G), and fifth-generation mobile communications (5G), etc., comply with the network signals of the protocol to transmit or receive network signals that execute instructions. Alternatively, the external device 7 can be a remote control center, a remote personal computer or other portable electronic device such as a notebook, a mobile phone or a tablet.

據此,在本實施例中,當餌料感測模組5感測到餌料槽20內的餌料不足時,控制器4便控制無線傳輸模組6發送警告信息至外部裝置7,以即時通報業主補充餌料。另外,於餵食期間,光電感應模組33持續一段期間未感應到水產養殖動物F前來索餌時,亦即水產養殖動物F索餌情況不佳時,此時控制器4同樣會控制無線傳輸模組6發送警告信息至外部裝置7,以即時通報業主。此外,當然業主也可利用外部裝置7連線至無線傳輸模組6來進行遠端控制,例如開啟或關閉餵食控制裝置之運轉、設定餵食時間、以及透過攝像器34,35即時觀看水產養殖動物F索餌影像等等。 Accordingly, in the embodiment, when the bait sensing module 5 senses that the bait in the bait tank 20 is insufficient, the controller 4 controls the wireless transmission module 6 to send a warning message to the external device 7 to immediately notify the owner. Supplement the bait. In addition, during the feeding period, when the photoelectric sensing module 33 does not sense the aquaculture animal F to feed the bait for a period of time, that is, when the aquaculture animal F is poor, the controller 4 also controls the wireless transmission. The module 6 sends a warning message to the external device 7 to immediately notify the owner. In addition, of course, the owner can also use the external device 7 to connect to the wireless transmission module 6 for remote control, such as turning on or off the operation of the feeding control device, setting the feeding time, and watching the aquaculture animals through the camera 34, 35. F cable image and so on.
