EFFECT OF USING MECHATRONIC MULTILAYER SILKWORM FEEDER ON PRODUCTIVITY

Аннотация

INTRODUCTION it is becoming increasingly difficult for silkworms For successful maintenance of silkworms and to produce silk of the same quality and quantity. obtaining high-quality silk from them, it is Therefore, the use of new technologies, in important to ensure optimal microclimatic particular mechatronic systems, becomes a conditions.[1] Factors such as temperature, necessity.[3] humidity, and air renewal affect healthy silkworm growth and good silk weaving.[2] traditional The technology of growing silkworms in multi- silkworm feeding methods are usually carried out tiered feeders allows you to effectively organize the outdoors, which limits the ability to constantly care process. The multi-layer system creates monitor the microclimate. Under these conditions, conditions for simultaneous care of mulberry https://www.theamericanjournals.com/index.php/tajas 7 THE USA JOURNALS THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF APPLIED SCIENCES (ISSN – 2689-0992) VOLUME 06 ISSUE06 silkworms in large quantities, which allows for between the rack floors.[8,9] using this technology, more efficient use of the territory. However, in a humidity is constantly monitored on each of the multi-layer system, maintaining uniform humidity floors where silkworms feed, and changes and temperature on each floor is a challenge. On according to their needs. Thus, the climate in each different floors, climatic conditions can be layer is maintained the same, which allows different, which can affect the growth of worms. silkworms to grow optimally and produce high- Therefore, it is important to independently control quality silk. Thanks to this control mechanism, the the humidity for each floor.[4,10] silkworm rearing process provides more stable and high-quality results than before. [11] An excellent solution in this regard is Mechatronic systems, which make it easier to ensure an optimal METHOD microclimate in each layer.[5] Mechatronic In the course of the study, a mechatronic system systems include various sensors and actuators that was developed for the care of silkworms in multi- allow you to monitor and control conditions by layer feeders. The main purpose of this system is to sharing them. For example, humidity and provide optimal microclimatic conditions for temperature sensors such as DHT11 can be used to worms and ensure their constant monitoring. monitor and analyze air humidity.[6] These Succulents consist of several layers, and humidity sensors allow automatic control of the system in and temperature must be controlled separately in case of excessive or low humidity. This gives each layer. DHT11 humidity and temperature silkworms more advantages over traditional sensors, a ventilation system, and controllers were feeding methods to ensure optimal humidity.[7] installed as components of the system. This system Mechatronic control systems based on the DHT11 ensures the same climatic conditions in each layer. sensor allow you to effectively control the humidity Figure 1.

Air DHT11 sensors are used to detect humidity and air exchange is essential for maintaining a worm- temperature, which allows you to constantly friendly climate. monitor the climatic conditions on each floor. Each layer contains a DHT11 sensor connected to the RESULTS system. Sensors constantly collect information and The results obtained using the mechatronic system transmit it to the central control unit. The control showed significant improvements in the care of unit analyzes incoming information and silkworms. This system helped maintain a stable determines the required level of humidity and air humidity and temperature, which contributed temperature for each floor. If the humidity or to the healthy growth of silkworms. According to temperature deviates from the set level, the results of measurements using DHT11 sensors, appropriate measures are taken. the humidity in each layer was maintained at the To control the humidity level, a special humidifying level of 60-70%, and the temperature-in the range device was built into the system. This allows the of 25-28°C. These optimal microclimatic conditions device to automatically raise the humidity when were suitable for silkworms and had a positive necessary. Based on data from the DHT11 sensors, effect on their growth and development. the system decides whether to increase or decrease The results of humidity monitoring showed that the humidity level. For example, if there is not the humidity level in each layer was maintained enough moisture between floors, the system starts more stable than with traditional methods. In the humidifier. Thus, maintaining an optimal level multi-layer feeders, almost no changes in humidity is achieved by constantly monitoring the humidity were observed in
