    专利说明:

    The present invention relates to an autonomous dispensing system for feeding animals, in particular pigs.
    Livestock, such as pigs, are fed with different foods, and in particular with dry or fluid foods, such as porridge or soup.
    To feed animals, various automated systems are known.
    In particular, there is known a system which comprises a feed tank, a pipe which forms a loop from the tank and on which is connected a pump which drives the food into the pipe.
    Along the pipe, a plurality of dosers is provided, and each is arranged above a trough and is provided to take alternately a closed position in which the food is not delivered into the trough, and a open position in which a ration of the food is delivered into the trough.
    All the dosers are networked with a remote management unit such as a computer that allows an operator to manage all dosers remotely.
    At each trough is provided a detector, for example of the RFID type, which detects an information carried by the animal present in front of said trough, and which transmits this information to the management unit. According to this information, the management unit controls the metering device corresponding to said trough when opening or closing. The installation of such an automated system is expensive because it requires the realization of a network, the establishment of several dosers, and the establishment of a management unit which is generally oversized compared to the final use.
    An object of the present invention is to provide an autonomous distribution system for feeding animals which does not have the drawbacks of the prior art and which in particular limits the investments required for the implementation of an automated dispensing system. For this purpose, is proposed an autonomous feed distribution system comprising: - a feeder fed food by a feed pipe, - a trough disposed under the doser, - a spill system provided to take alternately a first position in which food can flow from the feeder into the trough and a second position in which the food can not flow from the feeder into the trough, - a presence detector intended to detect the presence of an animal in front of the trough - a memory in which is stored the identity of each animal and its food characteristics, - a management unit connected to the presence detector, the memory and the dumping system, and which controls the dumping system in function of the animal detected by the presence detector and data stored in the memory, - a man-machine interface connected to the gesture unit and to ensure the programming of the autonomous system of distribution and the recording in the memory of the identity of each animal and the food characteristics of each of them.
    Advantageously, the autonomous distribution system comprises a water pipe connecting a water source to the trough, and a water valve provided to alternately take an open position in which the water can flow from the water pipe. water in the trough and a closed position in which water can not flow from the water pipe into the trough.
    Advantageously, the autonomous dispensing system comprises a hood in which are housed the metering device, the spill system and possibly the water valve, and the man-machine interface is fixed on the hood.
    Advantageously, the human-machine interface comprises buttons and a screen.
    Advantageously, the autonomous distribution system further comprises a power supply cable intended to be electrically connected to an electrical network.
    Advantageously, the autonomous distribution system further comprises a network access point connected to the management unit.
    According to a particular embodiment, the network access point is a wireless communication system.
    According to another particular embodiment, the network access point is a network jack.
    The characteristics of the invention mentioned above, as well as others, will appear more clearly on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment, said description being made with reference to FIG. single which is a schematic representation of an autonomous food distribution system according to the invention.
    Fig. unique shows an autonomous dispensing system 100 which is intended to feed animals such as pigs.
    The autonomous dispensing system 100 comprises a metering device 102 and a trough 114 disposed under the metering device 102.
    The self-contained dispensing system 100 is fed with food through a food line 104 from a dry food tank. The feed pipe 104 pours the food into the doser 102.
    The self-contained dispensing system 100 also includes a spill system 108 which is provided to alternately take a first position in which food can flow from the doser 102 into the trough 114 and a second position in which the food can not spill. of the doser 102 in the trough 114. The trough 114 is thus arranged to receive water and food.
    The autonomous dispensing system 100 also includes a memory 120 in which is stored the identity of each animal that may occur and its food characteristics such as the amount of food that can be consumed per day.
    The autonomous distribution system 100 also includes a management unit 112.
    The autonomous dispensing system 100 also includes a presence detector 116 disposed in the vicinity of the trough 114 and designed to detect the presence of an animal in front of the trough 114 and to transmit the identity of this animal to the feed unit. management 112.
    The presence detector 116, the memory 120 and the spill system 108 are connected to the management unit 112. Thus, according to the animal detected by the presence detector 116 and as a function of the data recorded in the memory 120, the management unit 112 controls the spill system 108.
    In order to ensure the recording in the memory 120 of the identity of each animal and the nutritional characteristics of each of them, the autonomous distribution system 100 comprises a man-machine interface 150 connected to the management unit 112 and which comprises here buttons 152 and a screen 154. The man-machine interface 150 is integral with the other elements of the autonomous distribution system 100 and is for example fixed on a cover 160 in which are housed said other elements, namely at least the metering device 102 and the spill system 108. The screen 154 makes it possible to display the data entered by means of the buttons 152. The human-machine interface 150 thus enables an operator to program the autonomous distribution system 100 without having to it is necessary to set up a heavy and expensive computer network. The human-machine interface 150 allows for example to record the amount of food allocated to each animal during the day, as well as all other data to be recorded.
    In order to verify that the animal has emptied its trough 114, a capacitive probe can be installed on the trough 114. By the value it measures, this probe makes it possible to detect whether all the food has been consumed or not. This probe is connected to the management unit 112 and according to the value measured by the probe and the amounts of food allocated to each animal during the day, the management unit 112 will or will not trigger the feed supply of trough 114.
    According to a particular embodiment, the autonomous distribution system 100 is supplied with water by a water pipe 106 coming from a source of water and the water pipe 106 discharges the water into the trough 114.
    The autonomous dispensing system 100 then also comprises a water valve 110 which is provided to take alternately an open position in which the water can flow from the water pipe 106 into the trough 114 and a closed position in which the water can not flow from the water line 106 into the trough 114.
    The water valve 110 is then connected to the management unit 112. Thus, according to the animal detected by the presence detector 116 and according to the data stored in the memory 120, the management unit 112 also controls the water valve 110.
    The water valve 110 is preferably also housed in the hood 160.
    In this case, to verify that the animal has emptied its trough 114, a probe with electrical conduction analysis can be installed on the trough 114. By the value it measures, this probe can detect if all the food and water were consumed or not. This probe is connected to the management unit 112 and according to the value measured by the probe and the amounts of food allocated to each animal during the day, the management unit 112 will or will not trigger the supply of food and / or water from the trough 114.
    To ensure the power supply of the autonomous distribution system 100, it has a power supply cable 156 that can be electrically connected to an electrical network.
    When the operator has installed several autonomous distribution systems 100, and the management of each of them becomes heavy because of their number, it is preferable to ensure collective management of all the autonomous distribution systems 100. Finally, the autonomous distribution system 100 comprises a network access point 158, 162 electrically connected to the management unit 112. Thus, it is possible to connect each of the autonomous distribution systems 100 to a central unit where the operator can provide programming of all the autonomous systems of distribution 100 simultaneously. The central unit is loaded with appropriate software and can be a computer, a tablet, or a smartphone for example.
    The network access point 162 may be a wireless communication system, such as for example a Wifi® communication system.
    The network access point 158 may be a network jack 158 in which a network cable is connected and thus in each of the autonomous distribution systems 100 to connect them to the central unit.
