Waterbirds, as an important component of wetland ecosystems, have habitats and foraging grounds that are closely linked to the growth of aquatic plants. Different species of waterbirds have specific requirements for the height of aquatic plants, which generally fluctuate between ten and several tens of centimeters. However, some existing weeding tools or equipment are either unable to adapt to the complex terrain of wetlands or cannot accurately control the height of aquatic plants according to the needs of waterbirds. This, to some extent, limits the attractiveness and carrying capacity of wetlands for waterbirds, and is detrimental to the balance and development of wetland ecosystems. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2A mobile cutting device for aquatic plants in wetland bird habitats includes: a mobile device 1, which is a tracked mobile vehicle (equipped with a steering device that utilizes the principle of differential gears to control the different speeds of the tracks on both sides to achieve flexible steering of the cutter, including complex operations such as turning on the spot, so that it can move forward, backward and turn freely on the complex terrain of wetlands. This device belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here).

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the mobile device 1 is vertically provided with a first driving component 10 (such as a hydraulic cylinder), and the moving end of the first driving component 10 is provided with a support platform 2; the top of the support platform 2 is equipped with a control device 3 (programmable logic controller, i.e., PLC controller), a data acquisition device 4 (such as a lidar sensor) and a telescopic component 5.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The telescopic component 5 includes a support rod 51, a kit 52 slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the support rod 51, and a second drive component 53 (cylinder) located between the support rod 51 and the kit 52. The support rod 51 is installed on the top wall of the support platform 2. The top of the kit 52 is equipped with a cutting assembly 9. The cutting assembly 9 includes a mounting cover, a motor mounted on the mounting cover, and a cutter located on the output shaft of the motor. The cutter is located inside the mounting cover. The speed of the motor can be intelligently adjusted according to the density and toughness of the aquatic plants to achieve a high-efficiency and neat cutting effect.

[0034] It should be noted that the cutting tool is detachably fixed to the output shaft of the motor (e.g., by bolts or nuts), allowing the tool to be removed and replaced. The cutting tool is made of high-strength alloy steel and undergoes a special heat treatment process, giving it excellent hardness and wear resistance.

[0035] A method for moving and cutting aquatic plants in wetland bird habitats, specifically including the following steps:

[0036] S1: Based on the water level of the wetland, after controlling the first drive unit 10 to adjust the height of the support platform 2, the mobile cutting device is placed into the wetland to ensure that the water level is not higher than the height of the support platform 2 when the mobile cutting device is placed into the wetland.

[0037] S2: After the mobile cutting device enters the wetland working area, the mobile device 1 starts working, driving the mobile cutting device to move in the wetland; and the data acquisition device 4 immediately starts working, continuously collecting water surface height data at set time intervals (such as every 0.5 seconds), and quickly transmitting this data to the control device 3. The control device 3, based on a pre-set complex algorithm and data on the appropriate aquatic plant height range for different waterbird species, accurately calculates the optimal height required by the current aquatic plant cutting device in a very short time (usually less than 1 second), and the telescopic component 5 extends or shortens so that the cutting component 9 reaches the set height. When the cutting component 9 smoothly advances to the area where aquatic plants grow, the cutting component 9 starts and performs cutting operations on aquatic plants that are higher than the predetermined height.

[0038] It should be noted that during the entire cutting process, operators can view and monitor various working status parameters of the cutter in real time through the remote control or the convenient control panel equipped on the cutting component 9, including the running speed of the moving device 1, the current height of the cutting device, and the data feedback from the sensors. Furthermore, operators can manually intervene and adjust the operation at any time through the remote control or control panel based on the actual observed growth of aquatic plants, changes in terrain, and other unforeseen circumstances. This ensures that the entire cutting operation can be carried out safely, efficiently, and accurately, ultimately achieving effective control over the height of wetland aquatic plants, creating an ideal habitat and foraging environment for waterbirds, and promoting the healthy development of the wetland ecosystem.

[0039] In this embodiment, as a further optimization, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 A liquid level sensor 6 is installed on the side wall of the support platform 2. The control device 3 is used to receive the information transmitted by the liquid level sensor 6. When the liquid level sensor 6 detects liquid (when the mobile device 1 moves in the wetland, when the water depth approaches the support platform 2, the liquid level sensor 6 comes into contact with the water and detects the water), after receiving the information, the control device 3 controls the first drive component 10 to drive the support platform 2 to rise, so as to avoid the control device 3, the acquisition device 4 and the telescopic component 5 being soaked in water, and to ensure the normal operation and life of the equipment.

[0040] It should be noted that the liquid level sensor 6 is detachably mounted on the support platform 2, and the installation height of the liquid level sensor 6 can be adjusted up or down according to actual needs.

[0041] In this embodiment, as a further optimization, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8The outer cover of the data acquisition device 4 is provided with a protective cover 11 (made of transparent material, such as transparent PVC material). The protective cover 11 is provided with a cleaning component 12. The cleaning component 12 includes a bracket, a motor mounted on the bracket, and a brush mounted on the output shaft of the motor. The bracket is mounted on the protective cover 11, and the brush is driven by the motor to move and clean the surface of the protective cover 11, so as to prevent the protective cover 11 from being blocked and affecting the information acquisition capability of the data acquisition device 4.

[0042] In this embodiment, as a further optimization, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The moving end of the telescopic component 5 is provided with a rotating component 7 (including a motor and a mounting base mounted on the motor output shaft, the motor being mounted on the top wall of the kit 52), and the mounting base is provided with a telescopic arm 8 (the telescopic arm 8 can be an electric telescopic rod), and the cutting component 9 is provided on the moving end of the telescopic arm 8.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] For further optimization, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The support rod 51 includes a mounting sleeve 511, a movable rod 513 slidably inserted into the mounting sleeve 511, and an elastic support member 512 (spring) disposed between the mounting sleeve 511 and the movable rod 513; a rack 515 is provided on the side wall of the movable rod 513, and a gear 514 is rotatably provided on the inner side wall of the mounting sleeve 511. The gear 514 meshes with the rack 515, and a flexible connector 517 (such as a rope, but not limited to a rope) is wound on the shaft of the gear 514. The end of the flexible connector 517 away from the shaft of the gear 514 is connected to the moving device 1 (connected to the frame of the moving device 1). When the first driving member 10 drives the support platform 2 to move upward, the distance between the support platform 2 and the moving device 1 increases, which will pull the flexible connector 517 and release the flexible connector 517 on the shaft of the gear 514, causing the gear 514 to rotate. Since the gear 514 meshes with the rack 515, the movable rod 513 will move into the interior of the upward mounting sleeve 511, reducing the overall length of the support rod 51. This ensures that the height of the telescopic component 5 kit 52 will not increase when the support platform 2 rises, thus ensuring that the height of the cutting component 9 will not be affected and guaranteeing its cutting accuracy.

[0045] In this embodiment, as a further optimization, please refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 There are two sets of racks 515, gears 514 and flexible connectors 517. The two sets of racks 515 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the movable rod 513. The two sets of gears 514 and the two sets of flexible connectors 517 are matched and correspond to the two sets of racks 515 respectively, to ensure that the movable rod 513 is subjected to balanced force.

[0046] In this embodiment, as a further optimization, please refer to... Figure 5 and Figure 7 The shaft of gear 514 includes a shaft body 521, two receiving slots 522, two moving blocks 523, and two arc-shaped blocks 524. The two receiving slots 522 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the shaft body 521. The two moving blocks 523 are slidably disposed in the inner cavities of the two receiving slots 522 respectively. The two arc-shaped blocks 524 are respectively disposed on the side wall of the two moving blocks 523 away from the shaft body 521. A flexible connector 517 is connected to one arc-shaped block 524 and wrapped around the outer wall of the two arc-shaped blocks 524. The driving device can be an electric telescopic rod, which extends and retracts to push the moving blocks 523 to move. The driving device can also be an air pump. The outlet of the air pump is connected to the inside of the storage slot 522 to inject air into the storage slot 522, increasing the air pressure inside the storage slot 522 and causing the moving block 523 to move. The drive device drives the moving block 523 to move to the outside of the storage slot 522, so that the arc block 524 moves away from the shaft 521, increasing the shaft diameter of the gear 514. Compared with the shaft diameter of the gear 514 before it was increased, the same rotation of the gear 514 requires more of the flexible connector 517 to be released (i.e., the support platform 2 needs to move up a greater distance), thereby adjusting the extent to which the length of the support rod 51 is reduced when the support platform 2 rises, adapting to different usage requirements.

[0047] In this embodiment, as a further optimization, please refer to... Figure 5 and Figure 6 The mounting sleeve 511 is equipped with a third driving component 516 (such as an electric telescopic rod). A sliding sleeve 518 is slidably fitted on the moving end of the third driving component 516. An elastic element 519 (spring) is provided between the moving end of the third driving component 516 and the sliding sleeve 518. A limiting component 520 (block-shaped component) is provided on the end of the sliding sleeve 518 away from the third driving component 516. The limiting component 520 is used to insert between the teeth of the rack 515 to restrict the movement of the movable rod 513, thus achieving a locking effect. After the control device 3 receives the information that the liquid level sensor 6 detects water, the control device 3 controls the third driving component 516 to retract, so that the limiting component 520 moves out from between the teeth of the rack 515, releasing the restriction on the movable rod 513. After the adjustment of the support platform 2 is completed, the control device 3 controls the third driving component 516 to work again, so that the limiting component 520 resets and restricts the movable rod 513 again.

[0048] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
