Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquatic organism trapping technology, specifically a fixed Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring device for golden apple snails. Background Technology

[0002] Golden apple snails, as an invasive alien species, pose a serious threat to agriculture, aquatic ecosystems, and human health. Monitoring equipment is needed to monitor areas prone to golden apple snail infestations, such as irrigation ditches and farmland, to promptly detect their distribution and spread. However, existing monitoring equipment requires manual capture in the fields, which is inefficient and increases the workload for staff. Furthermore, golden apple snail eggs are generally laid at the edges of rice paddies, and if not dealt with promptly, they can cause further damage to the rice, greatly increasing the difficulty of control.

[0003] To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings, existing technology (Chinese patent application number: 202021633937.X, application date: August 8, 2020) discloses an ecological control device for golden apple snails, including a frame. A power storage box is fixed to one end of the top of the frame. A signal controller is screwed to the top of the frame and located on one side of the power storage box. A fixing frame is fixed to the top of the frame and located at the other end of the signal controller. A hydraulic cylinder is bolted to the inner side of the fixing frame. A U-shaped plate is fixed to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. The U-shaped plate is slidably connected to the frame. A support plate is fixed to one side of the inner wall of the frame. Through the cooperation of a series of trapping and storage structures, the device can efficiently trap golden apple snails, greatly reducing the workload of workers. Furthermore, through a series of spraying structures to spray pesticides, the device can also efficiently treat the eggs of golden apple snails, greatly reducing the difficulty of control for workers.

[0004] Although existing technologies can effectively trap golden apple snails, the lack of real-time monitoring of the number of snails trapped makes it difficult to accurately assess the effectiveness of control equipment at different times and under different environmental conditions, requiring human intervention.

[0005] Therefore, we proposed a fixed IoT-based golden apple snail monitoring device that can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fixed IoT-based golden apple snail monitoring device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that current control devices, due to the lack of real-time monitoring of the number of golden apple snails captured, are difficult to accurately assess the effectiveness of the control devices at different times and under different environmental conditions, requiring manual intervention.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fixed IoT monitoring device for golden apple snails, comprising a water channel, a mounting base fixedly installed on the top of the water channel, a main unit fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base, a cover fixedly connected to the top of the main unit, a solar panel body disposed on the top of the cover, an antenna body disposed on the top of the left side of the cover, and a positioning module body disposed on the top of the left side of the cover; a power switch body disposed on the left side of the main unit, a channel shell fixedly connected inside the left side of the mounting base, a mounting sleeve fixedly installed at the bottom of the channel shell, and a snail collection box movably connected inside the mounting sleeve; a lifting assembly for height adjustment disposed inside the right side of the main unit, the lifting assembly including a photographing platform, an attractant box movably connected inside the photographing platform, and a moving assembly for horizontal adjustment disposed inside the bottom of the main unit.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the snail collecting box and the mounting sleeve are detachably connected, and the snail collecting box is configured with a T-shaped structure. The snail collecting box is provided with an escape-prevention inclined plate seat inside. The detachable connection between the snail collecting box and the mounting sleeve facilitates regular cleaning of the golden apple snails inside the snail collecting box. The escape-prevention inclined plate seat inside the snail collecting box can prevent the snails from escaping along the wall of the snail collecting box, ensuring that the golden apple snails are effectively collected.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the first threaded sleeve is movably connected to the first screw and the first slide plate, and the first threaded sleeve and the connecting rod are movably connected to the support shell. The bottom of the support shell is provided with a through hole.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-7 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0027] Example 1: To address the issue that existing pest control equipment on the market lacks real-time monitoring of the number of golden apple snails captured, making it difficult to accurately assess the effectiveness of the equipment under different time periods and environmental conditions, and requiring manual intervention, this example discloses a fixed IoT-based golden apple snail monitoring device. The following technical details are provided in the attached document. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 7 The system includes a water channel 1, a mounting base 2 fixedly installed on the top of the water channel 1, a main unit base 3 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 2, a cover fixedly connected to the top of the main unit base 3, a solar panel body 4 installed on the top of the cover, an antenna body 5 installed on the top of the left side of the cover, and a positioning module body 6 installed on the top of the left side of the cover; a lifting assembly for height adjustment is installed inside the right side of the main unit base 3, the lifting assembly includes a photography platform 17, an inducer box 18 movably connected inside the photography platform 17, and a moving assembly for horizontal adjustment is installed inside the bottom of the main unit base 3; the lifting assembly includes a support shell 11, two first sliding plates 12 fixedly connected to the left side of the support shell 11, a servo motor body 13 installed on the top of the support shell 11, and a first sliding plate 12 fixedly installed on the output shaft of the servo motor body 13 via a coupling. A screw 14 is located between two first slide plates 12. The outer wall of the first screw 14 is threadedly connected to a first threaded sleeve 15. A connecting rod 16 is fixedly installed on the right side of the first threaded sleeve 15. A camera platform 17 is bolted to the bottom of the connecting rod 16. A camera body is provided on the front right side of the mounting shell 19. A dual-band trapping lamp body is also provided on the front right side of the mounting shell 19. The first threaded sleeve 15 is movably connected to the first screw 14 and the first slide plate 12. The first threaded sleeve 15 and the connecting rod 16 are movably connected to the support shell 11. A through hole is provided at the bottom of the support shell 11. The camera platform 17 is detachably connected to the attractant box 18. Several dispersing holes are provided inside both the camera platform 17 and the attractant box 18. A ramp seat is provided on the left side of the attractant box 18.

[0028] The device is fixedly installed on water channel 1. Workers manually pull out the attractant box 18, add an appropriate amount of attractant, and then close it to prepare for attracting golden apple snails. At night, workers turn on the dual-band trapping light via the power switch 7. Simultaneously, the attractant odor from the attractant box 18 is released into the surrounding water environment through the emission port. Golden apple snails are phototactic and sensitive to specific odors; attracted by both the light and the odor, they crawl along water channel 1 towards the photographing platform 17. The sloping base on the left side of the attractant box 18 provides a convenient crawling path for the snails, reducing the difficulty of reaching the photographing platform 17 and increasing the probability of them reaching it. This ensures a sufficient number of golden apple snails gather on the photographing platform 17, providing a basis for subsequent monitoring. To provide samples, staff members periodically start the servo motor body 13 via the power switch body 7, causing it to rotate forward. The output shaft drives the first screw 14 to rotate, thereby causing the first threaded sleeve 15 to move upward along the first screw 14 and the first slide plate 12. Simultaneously, the first threaded sleeve 15 drives the imaging platform 17 connected to the connecting rod 16 to slowly rise from the bottom of the channel to the preset imaging position. The camera body takes pictures of the golden apple snails on the imaging platform 17 and uploads the pictures to the IoT backend platform. After receiving the pictures uploaded by the camera body, the IoT backend platform uses AI recognition technology to identify the shape of the golden apple snails in the pictures and counts them based on the recognition results. This enables the monitoring equipment to attract and monitor the number of golden apple snails in real time without manual intervention, greatly improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0029] Example 2: This example discloses a fixed IoT-based golden apple snail monitoring device, which facilitates the collection of golden apple snails lured and photographed for monitoring. See attached document for details. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 6 The main unit 3 has a power switch body 7 on its left side. The mounting base 2 has a channel shell 8 fixedly connected to its left side. The bottom of the channel shell 8 is fixedly installed with a mounting sleeve 9. The mounting sleeve 9 is movably connected to a screw collection box 10. The moving component includes a mounting shell 19. Two second slide plates 20 are fixedly installed on the front of the mounting shell 19. A drive motor body 21 is located on the right side of the mounting shell 19. The output shaft of the drive motor body 21 is fixedly installed with a second screw 22 through a coupling. The second screw 22 is located between the two second slide plates 20. A second threaded sleeve 23 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the second screw 22. A connecting seat 24 is fixedly connected to the front of the second threaded sleeve 23. A scraper 25 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting seat 24. The screw collection box 10 is detachably connected to the mounting sleeve 9. The screw collection box 10 is designed with a T-shaped structure. An anti-escape inclined plate seat is provided inside the screw collection box 10. The second threaded sleeve 23 is movably connected to the second screw 22 and the second slide plate 20. The second threaded sleeve 23 is tightly fitted to the scraper 25.

[0030] After the camera body takes a picture of the apple snail on the photography platform 17, the power switch body 7 starts the drive motor body 21, causing the drive motor body 21 to reverse and drive the second screw 22 to rotate. Since the second threaded sleeve 23 is threadedly connected to the second screw 22, and the second threaded sleeve 23 can only move in a straight line along the second screw 22 under the guidance of the two second slide plates 20, the second threaded sleeve 23 will move from right to left. In turn, it will drive the scraper 25 from the right position to the left position through the connecting seat 24. During the movement of the scraper 25, the apple snail on the photography platform 17 will be scraped into the channel shell 8 on the left. Thus, the apple snail enters the snail collection box 10 through the channel shell 8. 10 and the mounting sleeve 9 are detachable, facilitating regular cleaning of the apple snails inside the snail collection box 10. The snail collection box 10 is equipped with an escape-prevention inclined plate seat to prevent the snails from escaping along the wall of the snail collection box 10, ensuring that the apple snails are effectively collected. This enables the collection of apple snails for induced photography and monitoring, facilitating subsequent processing. Next, the power switch body 7 starts the drive motor body 21, which drives the second screw 22 to rotate forward, causing the second threaded sleeve 23 to move the scraper 25 connected to the connecting seat 24 from the left position to the right position. After returning to the original position, the power switch body 7 starts the servo motor body 13 to rotate in reverse, causing the connecting rod 16 to slowly lower the photography platform 17 to the bottom of the water channel, thus completing one photography and snail scraping action.
