AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When the grassland biodiversity assessment system is used on a slope, the mounting base and positioning post of the data collection equipment are prone to tilting due to loose soil or long-term pressure, which reduces the contact area between the positioning post and the mounting hole, making the equipment easy to tip over.

Method used

The design employs four positioning posts, including two first positioning posts and two second positioning posts. Through the cooperation of elastic elements, pull ropes, and insertion rods, the insertion depth of the insertion rods in the soil is automatically adjusted, increasing the contact area between the positioning posts and the soil. The elastic elements and magnetic blocks are used to maintain stability.

Benefits of technology

This effectively prevented the data collection equipment from tipping over, ensured the normal progress of data collection, and improved the efficiency of grassland biodiversity assessment.
