Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of animal driving technology, and specifically relates to an animal driving system based on joint monitoring and driving of multiple groups of AI intelligent devices. Background Art
[0002] To repel animals, conventional technical means are to use animal repellers. Animal repellers are integrated with sound and light elements and detection elements. When the detection element detects a target animal, the sound and light elements emit corresponding sound and light to repel the animal. However, due to the large space in which the animal repeller is used, a single animal repeller is difficult to achieve the desired repelling effect. Therefore, a large number of animal repellers are invested in to compensate for the drawbacks of a single animal repeller solution, such as a small repelling coverage area and insufficient repelling power.
[0003] However, in actual practice, it was found that although the monitoring blind spots were reduced by having multiple devices working together, the following problems still existed:
[0004] 1. There is no correlation between the devices, and they all perform monitoring and expulsion work independently, so the expulsion power of a single point is limited;
[0005] 2. Each device uses motion detection as a sensing source and cannot automatically identify the type of target animal. When in use, it must follow a preset repelling mode to repel the target animal. Due to its low intelligence, the device cannot accurately and precisely repel the target animal.
[0006] Therefore, there should be an animal driving system with more perfect driving performance to solve the above-mentioned field drawbacks. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The present invention provides a solution to the problem that when multiple groups of driving devices are used to drive away animals, the linkage between the multiple groups of driving devices is poor, and they all perform monitoring and driving work independently. The driving force of a single point is limited, and a single image sensor is often used to monitor the target animals, which results in insufficient judgment accuracy and false alarms.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, an animal repelling system based on joint monitoring and repelling of animals by multiple sets of AI intelligent devices is proposed. The system is used to repel animals from warehouses and includes multiple sets of monitoring and repelling devices. The multiple sets of monitoring and repelling devices are arranged around the warehouse and include:

[0022] The communication module includes:
[0023] A position detection unit collects position information of the monitoring and driving device itself and adjacent monitoring and driving devices;
[0024] The transmitting unit responds to the linkage information and generates a coordinated message to be sent to the adjacent monitoring and driving device;
[0025] The receiving unit responds to the linkage information generated by the adjacent monitoring and driving-away device, determines whether the monitoring and driving-away device itself is the approaching position of the target animal, and generates driving-away information according to the determination result.
[0026] As an improvement of the present invention, multiple groups of monitoring and driving devices are arranged around the warehouse as the center to form a first driving circle.
[0027] As an improvement of the present invention, the detection areas of the first driving circle are continuously connected to form a first detection area, and the first detection area is located at the periphery of the first driving circle.

[0029] As an improvement of the present invention, the detection areas of the second driving circle are continuously connected to form a second detection area, and the second detection area is located between the first driving circle and the second driving circle.
[0030] As an improvement of the present invention, the shape formed by the first driving circle and the second driving circle is a circle.
[0031] As an improvement of the present invention, the driving module includes a sound unit, a light emitting unit and a sound wave unit which are activated in response to the driving signal.
[0032] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an animal repelling system based on the joint monitoring and repelling of multiple groups of AI intelligent devices, which has multiple groups of monitoring and repelling devices, and the multiple groups of repelling devices are arranged around the warehouse. The monitoring and repelling devices include an information collection module, a processing module, and a repelling module; wherein the processing module also includes a neural network accelerator unit and a main control unit. The neural network accelerator unit responds to the first information generated by the information collection module, and comprehensively judges the category of the target animal from the perspective of vision, hearing and smell. The repelling module then sends a corresponding targeted repelling signal to repel the target animal; further, it also includes a communication module. When any monitoring and repelling device detects the target animal and predicts the movement path of the target animal, the remaining monitoring and repelling devices are jointly started according to the judgment result, and collaboratively send corresponding repelling signals to repel the target animal, thereby enhancing the repelling strength.

[0066] In order to more clearly illustrate the present invention, the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0067] In the following description, details of general examples are provided to provide a deeper understanding of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to be exhaustive. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0068] It should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components or combinations thereof.
[0069] In orchards or farms, since warehouses are used to store the harvest, surrounding animals will instinctively move towards the warehouses when foraging, and some animals will cause damage to the site and the harvest. For example, herbivorous animals (such as deer and rabbits) will gnaw on the flowers and plants on the site. For another example, bears and rodents may directly invade the warehouses and directly eat and gnaw on the harvest and buildings. Therefore, it is necessary to drive away the animals to reduce or avoid damage to the site or the harvest in the warehouse caused by harmful animals.
[0070] To repel animals, conventional technical means are to use animal repellers. Animal repellers are integrated with sound and light elements and detection elements. When the detection element detects a target animal, the sound and light elements emit corresponding sound and light to repel the animal. However, due to the large space in which the animal repeller is used, a single animal repeller is difficult to achieve the desired repelling effect. Therefore, a large number of animal repellers are invested in to compensate for the drawbacks of a single animal repeller solution, such as a small repelling coverage area and insufficient repelling power.
[0071] However, in actual practice, it was found that although the monitoring blind spots were reduced by having multiple devices working together, the following problems still existed:
[0072] 1. There is no correlation between the devices, and they all perform monitoring and expulsion work independently, so the expulsion power of a single point is limited;
[0073] 2. Each device uses motion detection as a sensing source and cannot automatically identify the type of target animal. When in use, it must follow a preset repelling mode to repel the target animal. Due to its low intelligence, the device cannot accurately and precisely repel the target animal.
[0074] Therefore, there should be an animal driving system with more perfect driving performance to solve the above-mentioned field drawbacks.
[0075] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an animal driving system based on joint monitoring and driving of multiple groups of AI intelligent devices, which is used to drive animals out of the warehouse. Figures 1 to 3 , including multiple groups of monitoring and driving devices, which are arranged around the warehouse. The monitoring and driving devices include:
[0076] An information collection module monitors the detection area in real time, generates first information if a target animal is detected in the detection area, and generates trajectory information based on the movement trajectory of the target animal;
[0077] Processing module,
[0078] generating a drive-off message in response to the first message;
[0079] Responding to trajectory information to generate linkage information;
[0080] The driving module responds to the driving information and generates a driving signal to drive away the target animal;
[0081] Communication module,
[0082] Responding to linkage information to generate collaborative information and send it to adjacent monitoring and driving devices;
[0083] Receive the cooperative information sent by the adjacent monitoring and driving-away devices to generate driving-away information.
[0084] The driving module responds to the driving information and generates a driving signal to drive away the target animal.
[0085] When any monitoring and repelling device detects a target animal and predicts its movement path, the remaining monitoring and repelling devices are jointly activated based on the judgment results, and collaboratively send out corresponding repelling signals to repel the target animal, thereby enhancing the repelling range. Even when the target animal moves quickly to an adjacent area, the adjacent area also enters the repelling state, thereby increasing the repelling range and further enhancing the repelling effect.
[0086] In order to better illustrate the technical effects of the present invention, three groups of monitoring and driving devices are listed. The working area is a rectangle with a side line of , and a first monitoring and driving device is placed at the corner of the working area. The second monitoring and driving device and the third monitoring and driving device are placed on the two right-angled sides extending from the corner. When the target animal is detected by the first monitoring and driving device, the first monitoring and driving device sends a corresponding driving signal and linkage information. The second monitoring and driving device and the third monitoring and driving device judge the linkage information. If the target animal approaches the position of the second monitoring and driving device and the third monitoring and driving device, the second monitoring and driving device and the third monitoring and driving device send the same driving signal as the first monitoring and driving device to cooperatively drive the target animal. The simultaneous operation of the three groups of monitoring and driving devices makes the range of dispersal wider, so that when the target animal is frightened, no matter how close it approaches the second monitoring driving direction or the third monitoring driving direction, it will be affected by the second monitoring and driving device and the third monitoring and driving device, thereby achieving a better dispersal effect.
[0087] In actual use, it is found that when the existing animal repelling system is working, even if a human enters the monitoring area, a false alarm may occur. In order to solve the disadvantage of insufficient accuracy, a single repelling mode setting is often adopted. For example, if mice need to be repelled, the function lever is turned to the mouse repelling mode, and if cats need to be repelled, the repelling function lever is turned to the cat repelling mode. The function is single, the degree of automation is not high, and high recognition is not possible. Therefore, this embodiment further makes an improvement scheme. In this embodiment, the processing module includes:
[0088] A neural network accelerator unit inputs the image data, sound data, and olfactory data obtained from the first information collection into a training model, and the training model outputs comparison information;
[0089] Main control unit,
[0090] In response to the comparison information, the category of the target animal is determined according to the comparison result, and corresponding driving-away information is generated according to the category of the target animal;
[0091] Responding to trajectory information, the target animal's walking path is predicted based on changes in the orientation data collected by the trajectory information, and linkage information is generated based on the prediction results;
[0092] The communication module includes:
[0093] A position detection unit collects position information of the monitoring and driving device itself and adjacent monitoring and driving devices;
[0094] The transmitting unit responds to the linkage information and generates a coordinated message to be sent to the adjacent monitoring and driving device;
[0095] The receiving unit responds to the linkage information generated by the adjacent monitoring and driving-away device, determines whether the monitoring and driving-away device itself is the approaching position of the target animal, and generates driving-away information according to the determination result.
[0096] The actual hardware of the processing module is a processing chip with a neural network module. First, the first information collected by the information acquisition module is processed by the neural network accelerator unit and accurately parsed into olfactory data, acoustic data or image data. The above three types of information are then input into the training model. The training model outputs comparison information after comparison. It can be understood that the training model stores the image data, sound data, and odor data of the target animal species that may appear in the area into the medium, and the more the cardinality of the image data, acoustic data and olfactory data comparison items, the more accurate the comparison result; The comparison process is as follows: the target animal is a deer and enters the detection area. The information acquisition module detects the target and generates the first information. The processing module processes the first information. The neural network module analyzes the first information in three aspects: vision, sound and smell. At this time, the analyzed image data includes image information such as deer antlers, deer limbs, deer body, deer face, deer tail, etc., while the acoustic data includes acoustic information such as the intensity and sound frequency of the deer call. The olfactory data includes the body odor information of the deer. The above three types of information are input into the training model for comparison one by one. After comparison, Output the comparison information containing the similarity value. On the one hand, the main control unit responds to the comparison information, determines the category of the target animal according to the comparison information, and then generates corresponding driving information according to the category of the animal type. The driving module responds to the driving information and sends a driving signal to drive the animal away; on the other hand, it processes the trajectory information of the target animal, calculates the direction of movement of the target animal, and generates linkage information. At this time, the linkage information is sent to the outside world through the transmitting unit in the communication module for response by the adjacent monitoring and driving signal communication module. The linkage information is received by the adjacent monitoring and driving device When the communication module receives the position information provided by the position detection unit, the receiving unit responds to the linkage information from the outside, and determines whether the path prediction of the target animal in the linkage information is close to its own position. If so, the corresponding driving information is generated. The driving module responds to the driving information to control the opening and closing of the corresponding driving actuator, and the driving actuator sends the corresponding driving information to drive away the target animal. Naturally, the driving signal sent by the actuator can also be divided into sound wave driving signal, color driving signal, voice-controlled driving signal, etc., so that different types of target animals can be driven away in a targeted manner.
[0097] Accordingly, in this embodiment, the driving away module includes one or more of an analog sound unit, a multi-color light-emitting unit, a multi-band ultrasonic unit, and a vibration unit that responds to a driving signal to open and close; it is not difficult to understand that the target animals are of different species, so there are many differences in their hearing and vision, so a variety of sounds, flashes, sound waves, etc. are introduced to drive away the animals; for example, the eye structures of cats and dogs have different perceptions of external colors, so cats are more easily driven away when they feel strong light; and dogs are more sensitive to human voices due to long-term human domestication, so dogs are driven away by playing pre-recorded human voices; and rodents have more sensitive hearing and can perceive a wider range of sound wave frequencies, so if rodents are to be driven away, ultrasound is used to drive them away.
[0098] In this embodiment, in order to enhance the convenience of monitoring and driving away the device during the use stage, it also includes a display module and a battery management module. The display module collects status information of the communication module, the battery management module, the information collection module and the processing module, and displays the above information, which can provide better overall management. The battery management module monitors the power in real time, which is convenient for technicians to perform health maintenance on the battery.
[0099] In this embodiment, the information collection module also includes an environmental detection unit, which collects the environmental humidity, light brightness, and temperature parameters of the equipment installation environment to assist technicians in observing the target animals' movements and behaviors under different environmental parameters, and then analyzing the target animals' habits, and then adding targeted measures to drive them away.
[0100] In this embodiment, the arrangement of multiple groups of monitoring and driving devices is explored to achieve better protection for the warehouse. Therefore, multiple groups of monitoring and driving devices are arranged around the warehouse as the center to form a first driving circle. It can be understood that multiple groups of monitoring and driving devices are arranged around the warehouse in a surrounding manner to form a circle. Under this arrangement, multiple groups of monitoring and driving devices form a closed loop in the monitoring area, and there is an overlapping area between every two adjacent groups of monitoring and driving devices. The target animal will be monitored no matter which angle it invades.
[0101] Furthermore, the detection areas of the first driving circle are continuously connected to form a first detection area, and the first detection area is located outside the first driving circle; in actual applications, the physical device for realizing the image acquisition module is a camera, and the shooting range of the camera is the real-time monitoring range of a single group of monitoring and driving devices. It is not difficult to understand that the first detection area is located outside the first driving circle. When the target animal approaches, an driving signal can be issued. If the first detection area is set between the warehouse and the first driving circle, the emission direction of the driving signal overlaps with the source direction of the target animal, which makes the target animal have a false sense of consciousness that turning back is dangerous.
[0102] Furthermore, in order to avoid the situation where the target animal crosses the first monitoring area, in this example, a second driving circle is formed by enclosing multiple groups of monitoring and driving-away devices in the area between the first driving circle and the warehouse. The number of devices in the second driving circle is less than that in the first driving circle. Due to the difference in number, the signal strength of the second driving circle will be weaker than that of the first driving circle, which is more conducive to dispersing the target animal; the detection areas of the second driving circle are continuously connected to form a second detection area, and the second detection area is located between the first driving circle and the second driving circle; it is not difficult to understand that when the target animal enters the second detection area, at this time, since it is not in the first detection area, the first driving circle does not work, and the second driving circle sends a driving signal, the target animal will stay away from the second driving circle and successively enter the first area. At this time, the second driving circle does not work, and the first driving circle sends a driving signal to drive the target animal away, so that the target animal leaves the first detection area;
[0103] Three groups of monitoring and driving devices are listed again. If the first driving circle is a rectangle, the first monitoring and driving device is placed at the corner, and the second and third monitoring and driving devices are placed on the two right-angled sides extending from the corner. The first monitoring and driving device needs to have a wider detection range, and the second and third monitoring and driving devices should be arranged closer to each other in order to maintain complete coverage of the detection area. However, since the detection distance toward the outside of the first driving circle is fixed, the detection range effect that can be achieved is still different compared with the arrangement of the three groups of monitoring and driving devices on the same side line. Therefore, in this embodiment, the shape formed by the first and second driving circles is a circle. The circle arrangement can ensure that the distance between the multiple groups of monitoring and driving devices will not cause deviation, and the multiple groups of driving devices enable the monitoring ranges to be connected to each other to form a complete circle to obtain better detection effect.
[0104] The present invention also provides an AI monitoring and driving device, which is applied to the above-mentioned animal driving system. Figures 4 to 8 ,include:
[0105] The support platform 1 has multiple sets of supporting legs on one side and multiple sets of L-shaped hooks 2 on the other side, and the short sides 2 of the hooks are fixedly connected to the table top of the support platform 1; naturally, the lengths of the multiple sets of supporting structures can be determined according to actual needs. If the implementation scene is outdoors, a longer supporting structure can be made to support the animal driving device. If the implementation scene is indoors, the length of the supporting structure can be relatively reduced.
[0106] The housing 3 and the cover plate 4 enclose a cavity for assembling the AI drive actuator 5. The bottom end of the housing 3 is provided with a plurality of mounting openings 31 communicating with the cavity. The hook 2 is inserted into the cavity through the mounting openings 31, and the hook 2 is buckled with the bottom end of the housing 3.
[0107] It is not difficult to understand that the present application does not adopt the traditional mounting tube structure, but cleverly sets up a support platform 1 to realize the supporting function. The table top of the support platform 1 is provided with a hook 2, and a matching mounting port 31 is opened at the lower end of the shell 3. During disassembly, the shell 3 and the support platform 1 slide relative to each other, and the hook 2 is separated from the inner cavity from the mounting port, and the disassembly between the support platform 1 and the shell 3 is implemented; during installation, the long side of the hook 2 and the table top are clamped together with the bottom profile of the shell 3 to complete the stable installation. It can be seen that the present application breaks away from the existing installation idea of interference fit, and develops an idea of loading and unloading the support platform and the shell 3 for storing the main AI drive actuator, which achieves the effect of fast disassembly and stable installation.
[0108] In this embodiment, in order to improve the stability in the installed state, the hook member 2 is divided into a first hook member 21 and a second hook member 22. The first hook member 21 and the second hook member 22 are located around the table surface of the support platform 1. The first hook member 21 and the second hook member 22 are arranged adjacent to each other and have the same opening direction. A return hook portion 211 is provided at the end of the first hook member 21 away from the support platform. A receiving groove 34 for receiving the return hook portion 211 is provided on the inner wall of the cavity near the bottom end. In the installed state, the outer surface of the return hook portion 211 is only in contact with the groove wall of the receiving groove 34 to prevent the support platform from sliding out, thereby improving the stability of the assembly.
[0109] In order to further improve the stability in the installed state, the short side length of the first hook member 21 is greater than the short side length of the second hook member 22. It can be understood that in the installed state, due to the difference in length, the bottom of the shell and the table top of the support platform 1 show a certain inclination trend, and the first hook member 21 is further squeezed against the inner wall, so that the return hook portion 211 will be further pressed against the inner wall of the receiving groove 34, thereby improving the stability of the assembly;
[0110] In this embodiment, in order to improve the working smoothness of the disassembly and installation process, a guide angle structure 32 is provided at the end of the installation port 31 away from the cover plate 4 to facilitate the insertion of the first hook 21 and the second hook 22; by providing the guide angle structure 32, a guiding effect can be provided during both assembly and disassembly, and the disassembly and installation actions can be smoother.
[0111] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the installation opening 31 from being directly connected to the cavity, so as to prevent foreign matter from entering the cavity and causing the driving element 5 to malfunction, a plurality of sets of C-shaped parts 33 are further provided. The notched ends of the C-shaped parts 33 are covered with the installation openings, and the length of the C-shaped parts 33 is the same as the width of the cavity. The notched ends of the C-shaped parts 33 are connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the cavity to form an installation channel, and the installation opening 31 is connected to the inner cavity of the installation channel. It is not difficult to understand that installation is performed in the installation channel so that the cavity equipped with the electronic components is in a sealed state and foreign matter from invading the surface.
[0112] In this embodiment, in order to improve the convenience of operation, the AI driving actuator 5 includes a display screen 51, a detection element 53 and a main control board 52, and the display screen 51 and the detection element 53 are electrically connected to the main control board; an opening for exposing the display screen 51 and the working end of the detection element 53 is opened at the end of the shell 3 away from the cover plate 4, and the main control board 52 is fixedly connected to the side of the cover plate close to the shell; it can be understood that the display screen 51 can intuitively display the working status and parameter adjustment of the group components, and the detection element detects the monitored range, and if a target animal is found, it will be driven away immediately; the detection element 53 can be an image acquisition device, a sound acquisition device and an odor acquisition device, and the above elements collect different information. The main control board is equipped with a chip of a neural network module, which compares the above-mentioned collected image data, acoustic data and odor data with the pre-existing database data, can accurately and quickly judge the type of animal, and use different driving methods to drive it away.
[0113] Different functional elements are used to drive away different animals according to their physiological characteristics. Therefore, an acoustic element 54 and an optical element 55 are also provided. Both the acoustic element 54 and the optical element 55 are electrically connected to the control board 52, and the working ends of the optical element 54 and the acoustic element are both extended outside the housing.
[0114] In order to improve the outdoor applicability, it is also equipped with a solar panel 6, which is located on the top outside of the shell 3; the solar panel 5 can store electricity through sunlight to provide it to the main control board 52 and functional components to disperse animals.
[0115] This application also provides a control circuit, which is applied to a system composed of multiple sets of intelligent animal driving devices. Figures 9 to 22 , including main control module, acquisition module, communication module and driving module, among which:
[0116] The output end of the acquisition module is electrically connected to the input end of the main control module, and the control end of the main control module is electrically connected to the controlled end of the communication module and the controlled end of the driving module respectively;
[0117] The acquisition module, the communication module and the driving module are all electrically connected to the main control module;
[0118] The acquisition module is used to collect information sent by the target animal and output corresponding acquisition signals;
[0119] The main control module responds to the collected signals and feedback information outside the module and outputs the corresponding control signals;
[0120] The communication module is used to generate a coordination signal in response to the control signal and send the coordination signal to the remaining animal driving devices; receive the coordination signal sent by the remaining animal driving devices and feed it back to the main control module;
[0121] The driving module responds to the control signal to start or stop the driving function.
[0122] It can be understood that two animal repelling devices are listed and named as the first repelling device and the second repelling device. When an animal appears in the area of the first repelling device, the information collection module of the first repelling device collects information of the target animal, and the main control module processes the collected information and generates a control signal that can control each module to start and close. On the one hand, the control signal generates a first level to activate the repelling module to repel the target animal; on the other hand, it generates a coordination signal, and the communication module sends the coordination signal to the communication module of the second repelling device. When receiving the coordination signal, the communication module of the second animal repelling device will feedback to the main control module of the second animal repelling device, so that the second animal repelling device controls its repelling module to work, thereby realizing the coordinated linkage between multiple devices and repelling animals, thereby enhancing the effect of repelling animals.
[0123] In practice, it is found that the acquisition module often maintains a 24-hour uninterrupted working state. However, the target animal's appearance time is short, and it often appears only during a certain period of time due to foraging activities. If the information acquisition components in the acquisition module need to be kept working 24 hours a day, it will waste a lot of power. Therefore, in this embodiment, the acquisition module includes:
[0124] At least one group of motion sensors, wherein the output ends of the motion sensors are electrically connected to the main control module;
[0125] At least one group of image acquisition sensors, wherein the controlled ends of the image acquisition sensors are electrically connected to the main control module;
[0126] The motion sensor is used to detect in real time whether the target animal appears in the area. If so, it generates acquisition information. The main control module responds to the acquisition information and outputs the corresponding driving level to activate the image acquisition sensor to work, and obtains the image information of the target animal to identify the type of the target animal. Furthermore, the hybrid operation of the motion sensor and the image acquisition sensor is combined, and the possible movement trajectory of the target animal is calculated, and the escape direction of the target animal is predicted. The communication module sends a corresponding coordination signal to the outside of the environment, and activates the remaining animal driving devices according to the escape direction of the target animal; that is, when the first animal driving device detects the target animal, the main control module activates the image acquisition sensor according to the motion sensor and the image acquisition sensor. The information collected by the image acquisition sensor is calculated to determine the type and movement trajectory of the target animal. For example, if the target animal moves toward the second animal repelling device, the communication module of the second animal repelling device receives the coordinated information of the first animal repelling device, and ultimately the first and second repelling devices are operated simultaneously. It can be understood that the execution elements of the acquisition module are the mobile sensor and the image acquisition sensor. The mobile sensor works in real time to monitor the target animal. When the mobile sensor detects the presence of the target animal, the main control module activates the image acquisition sensor to identify the type of the target animal and sends a corresponding repelling signal based on the type of the target animal.
[0127] In order to implement the above solution, the new chip selected for the main control module is a chip with a neural network accelerator, such as the Allwinner V853, Rockchip RK1808, NVIDIA H100 and other models. The use of the above chip can divide the main work of the chip into the first processing unit U5 and the second processing unit. Figures 10 to 12 , Figure 10 is the first processing unit U5, Figure 11 It is the main working part of the second processing unit. Figure 12 The level management part of the second processing unit is not a solution to be protected by this application, so it will not be described in detail. Therefore, the following references to the second processing unit can be directly understood as Figure 10Disclosed portion; wherein the first processing unit has pins 1-16, and the second processing unit has 132 pins, of which 12 pins are numbered A1-A12, 12 pins are numbered B1-B12, 12 pins are numbered C1-C12, 12 pins are numbered D1-D12, 12 pins are numbered E1-E12, 12 pins are numbered F1-F12, 12 pins are numbered H1-H12, 12 pins are numbered J1-J12, and 12 pins are numbered M1-M12. There are 12 pins numbered L1-L12 and 12 pins numbered K1-k12. In the first processing unit, pins 15 and 16 correspond to the B5 pin and A5 pin of the second processing unit. The motion sensor can be conventionally divided into a radar sensor and an infrared sensor. In this embodiment, the first infrared sensor PIR1 and the second infrared sensor PIR2 are used for illustration. The output end of the first infrared sensor PIR1 is connected to the pin 6 of the first processing unit, and the output end of the second infrared sensor PIR2 is connected to the pin 7 of the first processing unit. The output end of the image acquisition sensor is electrically connected to the M5-M12 pins of the second processing module. The second processing unit reads the output data of the image acquisition sensor, calculates the animal's computing category information, and controls the driving module to perform the driving work.
[0128] Furthermore, the communication module is connected to the first processing unit, and when the linkage information transmitted from the outside is received, the collaborative information sent from the outside can be fed back to the first processing unit to form a collaborative driving effect; the second processing unit includes a reading end and a feedback end, the reading end is electrically connected to the output end of the image acquisition sensor, and the feedback end is electrically connected to the storage unit; it can be understood that the reading port is pins M5-M16, and the feedback port is composed of pins K1, G2, J1, G1, H1, and L1. Pins 1, 2, and 3 of the storage unit U3 as the input end are connected to pins G2, G1, and H1, and pins 5, 6, and 7 of the feedback end correspond to pins L1 and K1. The first processing chip reads the information of the image acquisition sensor, compares it with the pre-stored animal category data in the storage unit, analyzes the category of the animal, and sends a corresponding driving signal according to the category of the animal;
[0129] In order to further optimize the activation relationship between the first processing unit and the second processing unit, an activation unit is also included which is composed of a MOS tube and a transistor. The source of the MOS tube is connected to the power supply, the drain is connected to the input end of the second processing unit, the gate is connected to the collector of the transistor, the base of the transistor is connected to pin 14 of the first processing unit, and the emitter of the transistor is grounded. When the infrared sensor does not detect the target animal, the activation unit is at a low level and the second processing unit is not activated, thereby effectively reducing power consumption. When the infrared sensor senses the target animal, the activation unit is connected at a high level to achieve electrical conduction, and the second processor performs analysis based on the image acquisition sensor and drives it away accordingly.
[0130] In this embodiment, the communication module includes a communication chip U11, a communication antenna ANTI and a crystal oscillator X1, and the two ends of the crystal oscillator and the output end of the communication antenna are electrically connected to the input end of the communication chip; it can be understood that the output end of the communication chip includes a CSN pin, an SCK pin and a DAT pin, and the CSN pin, the SCK pin and the DAT pin are connected to pins 3, 2 and 1 of the first processing unit respectively; the input end of the communication antenna is connected to pin 8 of the communication chip, and the two ends of the crystal oscillator are connected to pins 6 and 5 of the communication chip; the communication antenna is used to send and receive coordinated signals, wherein the DATA interface is responsible for data connectivity between the communication chip and the first processing unit, and the SCK interface realizes time coordination and synchronization of information.
[0131] In this embodiment, the driving module includes a speaker unit formed by a first speaker and a second speaker connected in parallel, both ends of the speaker unit are electrically connected to the output end of the amplifying inductor, and the input end of the amplifying inductor is provided with a first driving pin DRIVE, a second driving pin DRIVE2 and a transmission pin, wherein the transmission end is electrically connected to the B3 pin of the second processing unit, and the second driving pin DRIVE2 is electrically connected to the C12 pin of the second processing unit; the first driving pin DRIVE is electrically connected to pin 9 of the first processing unit; when the driving device itself detects the target animal, the second processing unit starts the speaker unit through the second driving pin DRIVE2 to realize the driving function; and when the driving device responds to the coordinated signal of the other driving devices, it is driven through the second driving pin DRIVE without entering the identification step.
[0132] In order to increase the targeted driving away of target animals, the driving away module also includes a light-emitting unit formed by multiple groups of white light tubes and multiple groups of red light tubes connected in series. The light-emitting unit has a red light control pin RED and a white light control pin WT. The red light control pin RED is electrically connected to the B10 pin of the second processing unit, and the white light control pin WT is electrically connected to the A9 pin of the second processing unit; the second processing module also controls the opening and closing of the white light tubes and the red light tubes according to the category of the target animal.
[0133] This embodiment also includes a fill light unit formed by multiple groups of fill lights connected in parallel, and the input end of the fill light element is electrically connected to pin 13 of the first processing unit; in actual application, the fill light unit is used to fill in the environment to avoid the influence of insufficient light in the environment, so that the image acquisition sensor can capture the target animal.
[0134] As an improvement of the present invention, a display element is further included, and the input end of the display element is electrically connected to the L5-L12 pins of the second processing unit to display the status information of the driving module and the communication module.
[0135] In this embodiment, the information collection module also includes a sound collection unit formed by a microphone. The sound unit has a LIF pin and a LIN pin. The LIF pin is electrically connected to the B8 pin of the second processing unit, and the LIN pin is electrically connected to the A8 pin of the second processing unit. Among them, the LIN pin serves as a bus and the LIF pin is responsible for data transmission. The microphone collects the sound information of the animal, analyzes it through the second processing unit, calculates the type of the target animal, and issues corresponding driving information.
[0136] In this embodiment, it is found in actual use that if the light unit is activated during the day to drive away the target animal, the driving effect is very small. Instead, the ambient light intensity should be identified, the identified light intensity should be sent to the main control module, and the speaker should be activated to drive away the animal. The device also includes a solar charging unit consisting of a solar charging panel PV1 and resistors R11 and R12. The resistors R11 and R12 are connected in series and have a connection point between them. The connection point is connected to pin 10 of the first processing unit. It can be understood that the solar charging panel can not only provide power to the device, but also infer the ambient light intensity through the photosensor mounted on the solar charging panel. When working during the day, the light intensity detected by the photosensor is high, and the first processing unit and the second processing unit comprehensively control the activation of the speaker unit. When working at night, the light intensity detected by the photosensor is low, and the first processing unit simultaneously activates the light unit and the speaker unit to drive away the target animal. The resistors R11 and R12 make the solar charging panel act as a protective resistor, thereby preventing the first processing unit from being burned.
[0137] The advantages of the present invention are:
[0138] 1) The processing module accurately processes the incoming signals. When a target animal is detected, on the one hand, it immediately sends a repelling signal based on the first information obtained from its own detection to repel the target animal. On the other hand, it responds to the second information sent by the adjacent device to collaboratively increase the repelling range of the target animal and limit the repelling route of the target animal.
[0139] 2) When the detection module sends the first information to the image comparison unit, the image comparison unit interprets the first information as an image and extracts similar image data from the database to form a comparison image. The two are compared and, based on the judgment result, the expulsion signal and the second information are output, which can clearly distinguish humans and avoid false alarms.
