Abstract

The precise feeding system with horizontal screw feeder is currently experiencing feeding accuracy, uneven water-to-feed mass ratios, and dust pollution in pig farming problems. To address these issues, a precise feeding system with horizontal screw feeder based on an Active Disturbance Rejection Controller (ADRC) is designed. The system is constructed by a cloud-edge architecture, which consists of an edge precision feeding device and an intelligent gateway, integrating spiral feed control, synchronized water-to-feed ratio adjustment, and feed intake monitoring functions. The edge feeding device employs an adaptive ADRC to compensate for feed discharge disturbances in real time. The gateway uses the Differential Evolution-Grey Wolf Optimizer (DE-GWO), a hybrid swarm intelligence algorithm, to adaptively tune ADRC parameters. Simulation and field tests indicate that the system's average feed dispensing error is 0.25% (maximum error 1.5%), with a feed-to-water ratio error of approximately 2%, validating its effectiveness in improving farming efficiency.
