Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of environmental monitoring, and in particular to a monitoring device with variable height. Background Art

[0002] Environmental monitoring refers to the act of determining the environmental quality (or pollution level) or the changing trend of its geographical features by measuring the representative values ​​of factors that affect environmental quality or the geographical features of the environment. For example, by detecting the content and emissions of various substances that have an impact on humans and the environment, we can track changes in environmental quality and determine the level of environmental quality, thus providing a basis and guarantee for environmental management, pollution control and other work. For another example, by monitoring geographical features such as surface displacement changes, soil moisture content or soil pressure, we can obtain geological deformation information in real time and monitor data through the background to achieve the purpose of early warning and prevention of geological disasters. Simply put, understanding the environmental level and conducting environmental monitoring are the prerequisites for carrying out all environmental work.

[0003] In the related art, various monitoring devices are installed and deployed in places far away from human habitation or municipal infrastructure, and most of them are even located in harsh environments such as high cold and high altitude, where communication conditions are usually poor. In addition, if the monitoring equipment is blocked by weeds and debris, its communication signal will also be affected. Therefore, the monitoring equipment usually needs to have a certain height or be installed at a high altitude to ensure smooth communication signals. However, if the monitoring equipment is too large, it is not easy to transport. In particular, the environment around the installation points of most monitoring equipment is relatively harsh, which further increases the difficulty of its installation and transportation.
