Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ecological monitoring technology, specifically to a mobile intelligent monitoring device for ecological damage in nature reserves. Background Technology

[0002] Nature reserves, as vital areas for ecological protection, harbor rich biodiversity and ecosystem services. Ecosystem destruction caused by human activities or natural factors not only affects local ecological balance and biodiversity but can also have cascading effects on surrounding ecosystems. Soil is a fundamental resource for maintaining ecological balance; however, soil erosion is a growing problem globally, posing a significant threat to the ecological environment and biodiversity of nature reserves. Soil erosion refers to the process of topsoil loss due to water flow, wind, or human activities.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document with patent number CN201721073857.1, which discloses a dynamic monitoring and forecasting device for soil erosion. This device utilizes a lifting mechanism mounted on the monitoring structure to raise and lower it, enabling the collection of sand and dust at multiple heights and the measurement of wind speed. Furthermore, the high-altitude measuring devices, such as wind force sensors, are fixedly installed within an integrated support housing, making it convenient to move and use without requiring installation or fixing.

[0004] During wind erosion, strong winds blow and transport surface soil particles to distant locations, causing soil loss. The windblown sand contains a large number of soil particles. Although the aforementioned technology can collect windblown sand, the composition of soil particles carried by strong winds varies over time as the soil is subjected to wind erosion. Therefore, the aforementioned devices cannot separate windblown sand and soil particles collected at different times, resulting in inaccurate assessments of the soil's resistance to wind erosion and affecting the formulation of wind and sand control measures. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a mobile intelligent monitoring device for ecological damage in nature reserves, which can solve the problem that existing wind and sand collection devices cannot separate and collect soil particles at different times during wind erosion.

[0007] Technical solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0009] This invention provides a mobile intelligent monitoring device for ecological damage in nature reserves, comprising a vehicle body and a collection box. The collection box is equipped with a collection pipe, the top of which is connected to a collection cover, and the bottom of which is connected to a discharge pipe. The collection box contains a collection mechanism, which includes a turntable and several sample storage tubes distributed circumferentially on the turntable. The collection cover is used to capture particulate matter in wind and sand and transport it to the sample storage tubes for storage through the collection pipe and the discharge pipe.

[0010] The collection box is also equipped with a driving mechanism, which includes an annular block installed below the collection mechanism and a pressure rod installed below the sample storage tube. The pressure rod is used to slide along the surface of the annular block according to the weight of the particles stored in the sample storage tube, and drive the turntable and the sample storage tube to rotate synchronously, so that the discharge pipe can transport the particles to different sample storage tubes for storage.

[0011] Furthermore, a mounting base is installed inside the collection box, and the turntable is rotatably connected to the mounting base.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper surface of the annular block is provided with a highest point and a lowest point, and the highest point to the lowest point on the upper surface of the annular block is in a continuously descending state.

[0013] Furthermore, a spring A is mounted on the lower end surface of the mounting base.

[0014] Furthermore, two sets of connecting plates are installed on both sides of the sample storage tube. Both sets of connecting plates are set as arc-shaped structures and are distributed in concentric circles with the collection tube. The interior of the connecting plate is provided with an inclined surface, and the height of the inclined surface gradually decreases from the side away from the sample storage tube to the side closer to the sample storage tube.

[0015] Furthermore, a cover plate is installed at the bottom of the collection box via a telescopic adjustment rod.

[0016] Furthermore, two sets of symmetrically distributed fixed seats are installed on the vehicle body, and vertical limiting rods are installed on the fixed seats. Slider blocks are provided on both sides of the collection box. The two sets of sliders are fitted onto the two sets of limiting rods on both sides. Spring B is fitted on the surface of the limiting rods, and spring B is located below the slider.

[0017] Furthermore, a water storage pipe is installed on the fixed base, and a piston rod is provided below the slider. The piston rod is inserted into the water storage pipe. The lower end of the water storage pipe is connected to a connector via a connecting hose. The connector is installed on the cover plate and is provided with evenly distributed nozzles. The nozzles are located on the inner wall of the cover plate.

[0018] Beneficial effects

[0019] The technical solution provided by this invention has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:

[0020] This invention captures sand and soil particles in the monitoring area using a collection hood, then transports the captured particles to a collection box via a collection tube. The particles are then stored in sample storage tubes within the collection mechanism. Multiple sample storage tubes are arranged in a circular pattern on the outside of the collection tubes. As the amount of sand and soil particles collected in the sample storage tubes increases, the sample storage tubes, under the influence of gravity, work with a drive mechanism to rotate the entire collection mechanism, further storing the collected sand and soil particles in different sample storage tubes. This allows for the collection and independent storage of sand and soil particles at different times during wind erosion.

[0021] In this solution, the collection pipe, collection hood, collection mechanism, and drive mechanism collect and store sand and soil particles at different times during the wind erosion process without relying on any electronic control devices. This is achieved entirely through mechanical structures, further enhancing the monitoring capabilities of the device in outdoor environments without energy supply and improving its practicality.

[0022] This method utilizes a cover plate installed at the bottom of the collection box. When the vehicle moves to the monitoring area to monitor soil erosion, the cover plate covers the soil surface below the vehicle, reducing the impact of wind erosion on the soil beneath the cover plate. This creates a control area between the covered area and the wind-eroded area. Furthermore, after long-term monitoring, this device can be used to compare with areas affected by wind erosion, thereby assessing the impact of wind erosion on soil properties. This allows researchers to more comprehensively and accurately evaluate the impact and mechanisms of soil wind erosion, providing guidance for relevant soil management and protection measures.

[0023] As the monitoring time increases, the number of sand and soil particle samples collected also increases. Furthermore, the gravity generated by the weight of the collected sand and soil particles is used to squeeze the water in the water storage pipe into the soil of the control area under the cover plate, so as to maintain the soil moisture in the control area, increase the cohesion between soil particles, and further effectively reduce the impact of surrounding soil erosion on the soil in the control area.

[0033] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments.

[0035] Example:

[0036] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1-7This solution proposes a mobile intelligent monitoring device for ecological damage in nature reserves. It includes a vehicle body 1 for driving or towing the entire device, a collection box 2 mounted on the vehicle body 1, a collection pipe 3 inserted inside the collection box 2, a connected collection hood 8 at the upper end of the collection pipe 3, and a collection mechanism inside the collection box 2. After moving to the monitoring area within the nature reserve via the vehicle body 1, this device can monitor the soil conditions in the nature reserve. During the monitoring process, the collection hood 8 captures sand and soil particles carried by the wind, and the captured sand and soil particles are transported through the collection pipe 3 to the collection box 2 for storage by the collection mechanism. This further facilitates the collection of sand and soil particle samples during soil wind erosion, enabling subsequent assessment of the soil's resistance to wind erosion in the nature reserve and the designation of appropriate wind and sand control measures.

[0037] Specifically, a turntable 5 is installed inside the collection box 2. The collection mechanism includes a sample storage tube 4 installed on the turntable 5. One end of the collection tube 3, which is inserted into the vehicle body 1, is connected to a discharge pipe 10. The discharge pipe 10 and the sample storage tube 4 are aligned. When the collection hood 8 captures sand and gravel, the sand and soil particles entering the collection hood 8 will flow into the collection tube 3 under the guidance of the collection hood 8. After flowing through the collection tube 3, they will be discharged through the discharge pipe 10 and finally fall into the sample storage tube 4, thus completing the collection of sand and soil particles from the sand and gravel. The collection hood 8 is designed in a funnel shape, and the radius of the side connecting to the collection tube 3 is smaller than the radius of the other side, further increasing the contact area between the collection hood 8 and the sand and gravel, and improving the sand and gravel capture efficiency of the collection hood 8.

[0038] More specifically, the collection box 2 has a mounting base 6 inside, and the turntable 5 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 6. Simultaneously, the sample storage tube 4 is slidably mounted on the turntable 5, with the sliding direction being vertical. During the collection of sand and soil particles by the sample storage tube 4, as the amount of sand and soil particles inside the sample storage tube 4 increases, the overall weight of the sample storage tube 4 increases, further causing the sample storage tube 4 to slide downwards on the turntable 5 under the action of gravity. The collection box 2 also has a drive mechanism installed inside, located below the collection mechanism. When the sample storage tube 4 slides down under the action of gravity, it will push the collection mechanism to rotate under the combined action of gravity and the drive mechanism. Several sets of sample storage tubes 4 are mounted on the turntable 5, and these sets of sample storage tubes 4 are equidistantly distributed in a circle. During the rotation of the collection mechanism, the discharge pipe 10 moves relative to the above the several sets of sample storage tubes 4, further moving the discharge pipe 10 from above one set of sample storage tubes 4 to above another set of sample storage tubes 4, thus further realizing the collection of sand and soil particles in different sample storage tubes 4. The rotation drive of the collection mechanism is driven by the amount of sand and soil particles collected. This allows the device to continuously capture sand and soil particles in the monitoring area and store the collected sand and soil particles in different sample storage tubes 4. This further enables the collection and independent storage of sand and soil particles at different time periods during the wind erosion process.

[0039] The difference lies in the driving mechanism, which includes an annular block 7 installed inside the collection box 2. The upper surface of the annular block 7 has a highest point and a lowest point, with a continuous downward slope from the highest to the lowest point. The driving mechanism also includes a pressure rod 9 positioned on the lower surface of the sample storage tube 4, located above the annular block 7. When the sample storage tube 4 is affected by the gravity of the collected sand and soil particles, it presses down on the pressure rod 9, causing it to slide along the surface of the annular block 7. As the amount of sand and soil particles inside the sample storage tube 4 increases, the overall weight of the sample storage tube 4 increases, further increasing the pressure of the pressure rod 9 on the annular block 7. This causes the pressure rod 9 to slide from a high point to a low point on the upper surface of the annular block 7, further driving the turntable 5 to rotate on the mounting base 6, thus switching the arrangement of the sample storage tube 4 below the material tube 10. This further enables the driving mechanism to rotate the collection mechanism.

[0040] A spring A12 is installed on the lower surface of the mounting base 6. When no sand or soil particles have entered the sample storage tube 4, the mounting base 6 will be lifted by the elastic force of the spring A12, further preventing the pressure rod 9 from pressing against the surface of the annular block 7 and pushing the collection mechanism to rotate above the drive mechanism. As sand and soil particles gradually enter the sample storage tube 4, the downward pressure will be greater than the elastic force of the spring A12 as the overall weight of the sample storage tube 4 increases. This will further overcome the upward spring force of the spring A12 on the sample storage tube 4, causing the mounting base 6 to squeeze the spring A12 and control the pressure rod 9 to slide down and abut against the surface of the annular block 7, pushing the turntable 5 to rotate along the upper surface of the annular block 7.

[0041] The sample storage tube 4 below the initial position of the discharge pipe 10 is located above the highest point of the upper surface of the annular block 7. Therefore, when sand and soil particles enter the sample storage tube 4, it will push the turntable 5 to rotate. As the turntable 5 rotates, it will control the rotation of several sets of sample storage tubes 4 below the discharge pipe 10, and rotate the sample storage tubes 4 that have collected sand and soil particles to one side of the discharge pipe 10, and the empty sample storage tubes 4 to the lower side of the discharge pipe 10. At this time, the sand and soil particles in the initial set of sample storage tubes 4 are collected, and the pressure rod 9 slides to the final position on the surface of the annular block 7, and can no longer push the turntable 5 to continue rotating. This further causes the discharge pipe 10 to discharge the newly entered sand and soil particles into the second set of sample storage tubes 4, thus achieving the collection of sand and soil particles from different time periods in different sample storage tubes 4. Simultaneously, the overall weight of the multiple sample storage tubes 4 on the collection mechanism is increased, further controlling the mounting base 6 to continue pressing down the spring A12, and controlling the pressure rod 9 to continue sliding on the surface of the annular block 7, thus achieving continuous collection of sand and soil particles from several sets of sample storage tubes 4. By repeating the above steps until the pressure rod 9 slides to the lowest point on the upper surface of the annular block 7 and forms a limiting stop, the sand and soil particles collected in several sets of sample storage tubes 4 in the collection mechanism are all collected, and the sand and soil particles collected in each set of sample storage tubes 4 are samples from different time periods during the wind erosion process. Ultimately, this device achieves intelligent monitoring of soil erosion, independently storing stone and soil particle samples from different time periods during the wind erosion process. Moreover, this device does not rely on any electronic components and is entirely implemented through mechanical structures, further increasing the monitoring capability of this device in outdoor environments without power supply and improving the practicality of this device.

[0042] Two sets of connecting plates 13 are installed on both sides of the sample storage tube 4. Both sets of connecting plates 13 are designed with an arc shape and are concentrically distributed with the collection tube 3, so that when the discharge tube 10 rotates on the sample storage tube 4, the rotation trajectory of the discharge tube 10 coincides with that of the connecting plate 13. The interior of the connecting plate 13 is provided with an inclined surface 11. The height of the inclined surface 11 gradually decreases from the side away from the sample storage tube 4 to the side closer to the sample storage tube 4. This further allows the discharge tube 10 to move above the connecting plate 13 when it rotates away from the sample storage tube 4 and moves to the surface of the connecting plate 13. Under the guidance of the connecting plate 13, the discharged sand and soil particles enter the sample storage tube 4, completing the complete and continuous collection of sand and soil particles. The two adjacent sets of connecting plates 13 are aligned, which further prevents the discharged sand and soil particles from falling off as the discharge pipe 10 moves from one set of sample storage tubes 4 to another. At the same time, when the discharge pipe 10 moves to the junction of the two sets of connecting plates 13, the sand and soil particles can be simultaneously transported to the two adjacent sets of sample storage tubes 4 under the guiding action of the two adjacent sets of inclined planes 11. This ensures that the overall gravity of the collection mechanism is increased, so that the drive mechanism and gravity work together to control the continuous rotation of the collection mechanism.

[0043] A cover plate 15 is installed below the collection box 2 via a telescopic adjustment rod 14. When the vehicle 1 moves to the monitoring area to monitor soil erosion, the height of the cover plate 15 is adjusted via the telescopic adjustment rod 14, further covering the soil surface below the vehicle 1 and reducing the impact of wind erosion on the soil below the cover plate 15. This creates a control area between the soil covered by the cover plate 15 and the wind-eroded area, allowing the device to be used for comparison with wind-eroded areas after long-term monitoring. This assesses the impact of wind erosion on soil properties, enabling researchers to more comprehensively and accurately evaluate the impact and mechanisms of soil wind erosion, and providing guidance for relevant soil management and protection measures.

[0044] Two sets of symmetrically distributed mounting seats 16 are installed on the vehicle body 1. Vertical limiting rods 17 are mounted on the mounting seats 16. Slider blocks 19 are provided on both sides of the collection box 2, and the two sets of sliders 19 are fitted onto the two sets of limiting rods 17 on both sides. A spring B18 is fitted onto the surface of the limiting rod 17, located below the slider 19. In the initial monitoring phase, the collection box 2 is lifted upwards by the elastic force of the spring B18, allowing the cover plate 15 to gently cover the soil in the control area. As the collection box 2 collects sand and soil particles, its overall weight increases, further overcoming the elastic force of the spring B18 and sliding downwards on the surface of the limiting rod 17. The cover plate 15 then inserts downwards into the soil in the control area, achieving a sealed protection for the soil in the control area and further reducing the impact of soil erosion around the device on the soil in the control area.

[0045] Meanwhile, a water storage pipe 20 is installed on the fixed base 16, and a piston rod 24 is located below the slider 19, inserted into the water storage pipe 20. The lower end of the water storage pipe 20 is connected to a connecting hose 21 and a connector 22. The connector 22 is installed on the cover plate 15, and evenly distributed nozzles 23 are located on the inner wall of the cover plate 15. When the collection box 2 controls the cover plate 15 to slide down and insert into the soil of the control area, it simultaneously controls the piston rod 24 to slide down in the water storage pipe 20 and squeeze the water in the water storage pipe 20. The water then flows through the connecting hose 21 and the connector 22, and is sprayed out from the nozzles 23, seeping into the soil of the control area below the cover plate 15 to maintain the moisture of the soil in the control area, increase the cohesion between soil particles, and further effectively reduce the impact of surrounding soil erosion on the soil in the control area.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
