Detailed Description

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and it will be understood that they are described herein for the purpose of illustration and explanation and not limitation.

Fig. 1 shows a system architecture of an intelligent pasture management system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, the intelligent pasture management system includes: the system comprises a positioning device 101, a display terminal 102, an RFID reader-writer 103, an automatic weighing device 104, an edge computing gateway 105 and a cloud system 106.

The positioning device 101 is worn with the livestock in the pasture. It can be worn in three different ways: one is used as an ear tag and is worn on the ear of the livestock; one is made into collar, and is worn on neck of livestock; the last one is used as a harness to be worn on the back of livestock.

The function of the positioning device 101 is to acquire the geographical position of the animal in real time and to transmit the acquired real-time position data back to the display terminal 102 in a GPRS manner. In this way, the user at the display terminal 102 can clearly see where the animal is currently located in the meadow.

In the positioning mode, the positioning device 101 has four selectable modes. They are respectively: GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, and BLE. There are four different alternatives for the positioning device 101 in the position signal transmission mode. The four different transmission modes are: BLE, GSM, NB-IoT, and LoRaWAN.

The positioning device 101 is equipped with high efficiency solar cells, which will facilitate reliability of use of the positioning device 101.

The positioning device 101 is further provided with a dormant magnet switch hole, and a small magnet is placed in the switch hole, so that the positioning device 101 can automatically carry out a dormant state and does not work any more. This facilitates transportation and storage of the positioning device 101. Once the small magnet is removed from the sleep magnet switch aperture, the positioning device 101 is activated and enters a normal operating mode.

An LED indicator is disposed on the outer surface of the positioning device 101. By observing the display state of the indicator light, it can be clearly known whether the current positioning device 101 is in the sleep state, the active state or other alarm states.

The outer surface of the positioning device 101 is made of TPU material. The selection of the materials ensures that livestock are very comfortable in the wearing process, and adverse reactions such as skin red swelling and the like can not occur.

The display terminal 102 is connected to the positioning device 101 through a wireless communication connection, acquires the position information of the positioning device 101 through the wireless communication connection, and displays the position information on a display screen, so that a user can know the current position of livestock in a pasture conveniently.

More specifically, the display terminal 102 has a fence set in advance for an area of a pasture. When the position information acquired by the positioning device 101 exceeds the range defined by the fence, which indicates that livestock has crossed the boundary of the fence, the display terminal 102 will display alarm information to the user.

The intelligent pasture management system provided by the embodiment of the invention has the function of livestock drinking frequency statistics. The function of drinking times statistics is realized by arranging an RFID reader-writer 103 at the accessory of the drinking water pool. Because the RFID tag is arranged in the positioning device 101, when the livestock drinks water, the RFID reader-writer 103 arranged at the side of the drinking water pool can read the RFID tag, and transmit the read tag information to the background display terminal 102. According to the RFID tags acquired by the RFID reader-writer 103, the display terminal 102 can count the drinking times of livestock.

Typically, such statistics of drinking times may be time-phased statistics, for example, statistics in days, weeks, or months. In addition, the statistics may be of a livestock or of a particular population.

Statistics on drinking times can be incorporated into the system's breeding profile.

An automatic weighing device 104 is also provided in the system. The automatic weighing device 104 adopts RS485Modbus RTU standard output. And customizing the network IO logic judgment, and needing to have a logic control function of cloud configuration according to the weight. Meanwhile, an RFID reader-writer 103 is needed beside the system to read related information and output the related information to the edge computing gateway 105 in real time, and the RFID tag information and the weighing information are associated and then packaged and reported to the cloud system 106 to be recorded in the breeding archives.

The cloud system 106 is used for docking the packaged data of the gateway and synchronizing the weight information to the corresponding cattle file. We can also do some more applications depending on the weight. For example, a weight growth curve is established for each cow, and the value behind the data is mined, for example, if a cow grows very fast, he is not strong and fit as a cow, etc. More logic function expansion is needed to be performed by combining the livestock raising experience of herdsmen.

The main functions of the cloud system 106 are: herdsman management, pastoral management, feeding knowledge management, disease knowledge management, diagnosis and treatment management.
