Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pest detection, in particular to a portable image counter for Empoasca vitis. Background Art
[0002] A portable image counter for Empoasca vitis is a device used to monitor and count the number of Empoasca vitis in tea gardens. This instrument usually combines image processing technology and portable hardware, and can quickly capture and analyze images of Empoasca vitis on site, thus helping farmers and agricultural experts with pest monitoring and management;
[0003] In the prior art, the field population survey and counting of Empoasca vitis mainly adopt manual leaf turning and visual counting. This method not only greatly increases the labor intensity of the investigators, but also has large counting errors. The staff needs to observe and count each tea leaf carefully, which not only requires a high degree of concentration and meticulousness, but also makes the staff need to bend down frequently, greatly increasing the physical burden of the work, resulting in low work efficiency and fatigue of the staff;
[0004] In order to overcome the above deficiencies, a Chinese patent of the prior art (publication number CN220858234U) discloses a field pest investigation tool combined with AI image recognition. Since according to national standards, the counting of Empoasca vitis usually requires checking one hundred leaves to ensure the accuracy and representativeness of the data. However, this utility model is not convenient enough in actual operation. Moreover, it usually requires driving the insects into a specific placement groove first and then taking pictures for recording. There are significant limitations in this process, because insects such as Empoasca vitis are prone to escape when disturbed or driven, resulting in inaccurate counting or recording. This escape phenomenon not only affects the accuracy of counting, but also may underestimate the actual pest density, thus misleading tea garden management. The feature lies in adopting a unique wrapped design to improve the accuracy and convenience of counting. Specifically, this device adopts a mechanism similar to a "leaf clip" to fix a single leaf and the insects in a wrapped manner, uses two macro cameras to take pictures of the front and back of the tea leaf, and then uses artificial intelligence recognition technology to identify and accurately count the type and number of insects per leaf, and significantly reduces the possibility of insects escaping during the transfer process, improving the accuracy of field investigation;
[0005] Although the prior art can overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies, there are still other problems in its operation process, such as: when the device is not in use, due to the long length of the device, it is inconvenient to store and carry, which is not conducive to the use of the user and is relatively cumbersome. Content of the Utility Model
[0006] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a portable image counter for Empoasca vitis, so as to solve the problems in the above-mentioned background technology that when the device is not in use, due to the long length of the device, it is inconvenient to store and carry, which is not conducive to the use of the user and is relatively cumbersome.

[0011] Furthermore, the control switch is electrically connected to the camera and the supplementary light, and the camera is electrically connected to the flip screen, and the rear end of the flip screen is fixedly installed at the front end of the positioning block.
[0012] Furthermore, the output end of the micro servo motor is nested with a belt, and the right side of the belt is nested with the rear end of the rotating rod, and the micro servo motor is electrically connected to the control switch.
[0013] Furthermore, a driving gear is fixedly installed at the rear end of the rotating rod, and the upper and lower driving gears are meshed with each other.
[0014] Furthermore, a return spring is fixedly installed inside the rear end of the telescopic rod, and a clamping block is fixedly installed at the rear end of the return spring.
[0015] The front end of the clamping block fits with the inner wall of the telescopic rod, and the rear end of the clamping block is spherical in shape, and the clamping block is arranged corresponding to the positioning hole.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

[0018] Furthermore, the LED fill light can obtain clear and consistent images during shooting. The flip-up screen is convenient for viewing pictures and saves space. The artificial intelligence recognition algorithm can automatically and quickly identify and count adult Empoasca flavescens, nymphs, and insect molts, improving the accuracy of field survey results;
[0019] 2. The rotation of the upper rotating rod drives the lower rotating rod to rotate through the meshing of the upper and lower driving gears. As a result, the upper and lower blade clamps rotate inward simultaneously, enabling the clamping effect. At the same time, an anti-slip pad is provided on the left side of the blade clamp, which can increase the friction when clamping the blade, prevent detachment, and improve the stability of the device;
[0020] Furthermore, before and after using the device, the position of the telescopic rod can be adjusted. By pressing the clamping block, the clamping block squeezes the return spring into the telescopic rod, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the length of the device. While facilitating the use of the device, it can be stored, making it convenient for the staff to carry and achieving a portable effect. Description of the Drawings

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0029] Embodiment 1:
[0030] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown in the technical solution, in order to solve the problem of unclear presentation of the device, it discloses: a grip rod 1 and a positioning block 2 fixedly installed on the left side of the grip rod 1, and a control switch 3 is fixedly installed at the front end of the grip rod 1, and a charging port 4 is arranged on the right side of the grip rod 1, and a telescopic rod 5 is arranged inside the left side of the positioning block 2, a blade clamp 6 is arranged on the left side of the telescopic rod 5, and a camera 7 is arranged inside the blade clamp 6, and a supplementary light 8 is arranged on the left inner wall of the blade clamp 6, a rotating rod 12 is fixedly installed on the right side of the blade clamp 6, and limiting sleeves 11 are rotatably installed at the front and rear ends of the rotating rod 12, and the right side of the limiting sleeve 11 is fixedly installed at the left end of the telescopic rod 5. The control switch 3 is electrically connected to the camera 7 and the supplementary light 8, and the camera 7 is electrically connected to the flip screen 10, and the rear end of the flip screen 10 is fixedly installed at the front end of the positioning block 2;
[0031] In the embodiment, when using the device, it is held and used through the grip rod 1. A control switch 3 for starting is arranged on the outer side of the front end of the grip rod 1. After pressing the control switch 3, the control switch 3 starts the camera 7 and the supplementary light 8. The supplementary light 8 lights the leaves of Empoasca vitis placed inside the blade clamp 6 to assist the camera 7 in counting and capturing the leafhoppers on the leaves. The captured data is transmitted into the flip screen 10 at the front end of the positioning block 2 for easy observation by the user. Through the setting of the rotating rod 12 and the limiting sleeve 11 of the blade clamp 6, it can rotate to clamp the leaves. At the same time, the device can be charged and used through the charging port 4 on the right side of the grip rod 1;
[0032] Embodiment 2:
[0033] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5In the shown technical solution, to solve the problem of unstable fixation of the blades by the device, it is disclosed that: an anti-slip pad 9 is fixedly installed at the left end of the blade clamp 6, and a clamping adjustment mechanism is arranged at the rear end of the telescopic rod 5. The clamping adjustment mechanism is provided with a micro servo motor 13. The front end of the micro servo motor 13 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the telescopic rod 5. A belt 14 is nested at the output end of the micro servo motor 13, and the right side of the belt 14 is nested at the rear end of the rotating rod 12. The micro servo motor 13 is electrically connected to the control switch 3. A driving gear 15 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the rotating rod 12, and the upper and lower driving gears 15 are meshed with each other;
[0034] In the embodiment, when the control switch 3 is activated, the micro servo motor 13 is driven to start through an electrical signal, causing the micro servo motor 13 to rotate forward. In this way, the output end of the micro servo motor 13 drives the upper rotating rod 12 to rotate through the belt 14. The rotation of the upper rotating rod 12 drives the lower rotating rod 12 to rotate through the meshing of the upper and lower driving gears 15. Therefore, the upper and lower blade clamps 6 rotate inward simultaneously, so as to achieve the clamping effect. At the same time, an anti-slip pad 9 is arranged on the left side of the blade clamp 6, which can increase the friction when clamping the blade, avoid detachment, and improve the stability of the device. On the contrary, when the control switch 3 is pressed again to turn off the device, the micro servo motor 13 is driven to reverse through an electrical signal, so that the upper and lower blade clamps 6 rotate in reverse to open;

A return spring 17 is fixedly installed inside the rear end of the telescopic rod 5, and a clamping block 18 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the return spring 17. The front end of the clamping block 18 is in contact with the inner wall of the telescopic rod 5, and the rear end of the clamping block 18 is spherical in shape. The clamping block 18 is arranged corresponding to the positioning hole 16;
[0037] In the embodiment, before and after using the device, the position of the telescopic rod 5 can be adjusted. By pressing the clamping block 18, the clamping block 18 squeezes the return spring 17 into the telescopic rod 5. Due to the spherical shape of the head of the clamping block 18, the telescopic rod 5 can be pulled to adjust the position. After adjusting the telescopic rod 5 to a suitable position, the clamping block 18 moves outward under the elastic force of the return spring 17 and is clamped inside the positioning hole 16 to achieve fixation. In this way, the effect of adjusting the length of the device can be achieved. While facilitating the use of the device, it can be stored and is convenient for the staff to carry, achieving the portable effect.
