Abstract

This study presents the design and implementation of a low-cost, energy-efficient incubator system based on an Arduino microcontroller. The proposed system is designed to accommodate both quail and chicken eggs by providing optimal temperature and humidity conditions through an automated control mechanism. Temperature is continuously monitored via digital sensors and regulated using high-power heaters and fans to minimize fluctuations. Humidity is passively controlled through a water reservoir, ensuring stability and energy savings. The developed modular mechanical turning mechanism allows easy adaptation for different egg types, enhancing the system's versatility and cost-effectiveness. Real-time environmental data and system status are displayed on a screen for user convenience. The project also incorporates safety features such as thermal alarms and over-temperature protection. The system offers a reliable and economical alternative for home use and small-scale farms. This study contributes to hatching efficiency and sustainable agricultural practices. The dynamic control approach of the system, supported by digital sensor feedback, distinguishes it from conventional constant-power incubators, offering significant energy savings and the potential to improve hatching rates through stable temperature control. Future work will focus on the implementation of a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control algorithm with solid-state relay (SSR) switching to further enhance temperature precision and system reliability.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Arduino mikrodenetleyici tabanlı, düşük maliyetli ve enerji verimli bir kuluçka makinesi sisteminin tasarım ve uygulamasını sunmaktadır. Önerilen sistem, otomatik bir kontrol mekanizması aracılığıyla optimum sıcaklık ve nem koşullarını sağlayarak hem bıldırcın hem de tavuk yumurtalarını işleyebilecek şekilde tasarlanmıştır. Sıcaklık, dijital sensörler aracılığıyla sürekli izlenmekte ve yüksek güçlü ısıtıcılar ile fanlar kullanılarak dalgalanmaları en aza indirecek şekilde düzenlenmektedir. Nem ise bir su haznesi ile pasif olarak kontrol edilerek stabilite ve enerji tasarrufu sağlanmaktadır. Geliştirilen modüler mekanik çevirme mekanizması ile farklı yumurta türlerine kolay uyum sağlanarak sistemin çok yönlülüğü ve maliyet etkinliği artırılmaktadır. Gerçek zamanlı çevresel veriler ve sistem durumu, kullanıcı kolaylığı için bir ekranda görüntülenmektedir. Proje ayrıca termal alarmlar ve aşırı sıcaklık koruması gibi güvenlik özelliklerini de içermektedir. Sistem ev kullanımı ve küçük ölçekli çiftlikler için güvenilir ve ekonomik bir alternatif sunmaktadır. Bu çalışma kuluçka verimliliğine ve sürdürülebilir tarım uygulamalarına katkıda bulunmaktadır. Dijital sensör geri bildirimleri ile desteklenen sistemin dinamik kontrol yaklaşımı, onu geleneksel sabit güçlü kuluçka makinelerinden ayırmakta ve önemli enerji tasarrufu ve kararlı sıcaklık kontrolü sayesinde kuluçka oranlarını iyileştirme potansiyeli sunmaktadır. Gelecek çalışmalarda, sıcaklık kontrol hassasiyetini artırmak ve sistem güvenilirliğini iyileştirmek için PID kontrol algoritması ve katı hal rölesi (SSR) entegrasyonu hedeflenmektedir.
