Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of animal and plant monitoring technology, and specifically relates to a monitoring device for the conservation of biodiversity of wild animals and plants. Background Technology

[0002] Biodiversity makes the Earth vibrant and is the foundation for human survival and development. It can be protected through in-situ conservation and ex-situ conservation.

[0003] Monitoring of wild animals usually involves using multi-point surveillance cameras. These cameras are fixed, but wild animals typically have a wide range of activity. When wild animals move away from the cameras, it becomes impossible to monitor them comprehensively, thus affecting the conservation efforts. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a monitoring device for the conservation of biodiversity of wild flora and fauna in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A wildlife biodiversity conservation monitoring device includes, from bottom to top, a monitoring camera, a fixing ring for mounting the monitoring camera, and a floating body for suspending the monitoring camera. The fixing ring is provided with a drive mechanism for moving the monitoring camera.

[0007] The drive mechanism includes a gear ring on a fixed ring, and a drive motor that can rotate around the circumference of the fixed ring is provided on the fixed ring. The drive motor is a dual-head motor. The two output ends of the drive motor are respectively provided with a ratchet that rotates in one direction and meshes with the gear ring, and a first fan blade for pushing the floating body to move.

[0008] The floating body is equipped with a controller, which is used to control the operation of the drive motor.

[0009] Preferably, the floating body is a hot air balloon, a hydrogen balloon, or a helium balloon.

[0010] Preferably, the drive motor is provided with a connecting plate, and a support plate is provided at the end of the connecting plate away from the drive motor. A second fan blade is provided on the support plate, and a synchronous belt is provided between the second fan blade and the first fan blade.

[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the second fan blade is smaller than the diameter of the first fan blade.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting plate is provided with a limiting ring, and the limiting ring is provided with a limiting block and a positioning block that are rotatably connected. The positioning block is provided with a blade, a roller, a return spring and an electromagnet for changing the position of the roller in sequence along its length direction.

[0021] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a wildlife biodiversity conservation monitoring device includes, from bottom to top, a monitoring camera 1, a fixing ring 2 for mounting the monitoring camera 1, and a floating body 3 for suspending the monitoring camera 1. The fixing ring 2 is provided with a drive mechanism for moving the monitoring camera 1.

[0024] The driving mechanism includes a gear ring 4 on a fixed ring 2. The fixed ring 2 is provided with a drive motor 5 that can rotate around the circumference of the fixed ring 2. The drive motor 5 is a double-headed motor. The two output ends of the drive motor 5 are respectively provided with a ratchet 6 that rotates in one direction and meshes with the gear ring 4, and a first fan blade 7 for pushing the floating body 3 to move.

[0025] The floating body 3 is equipped with a controller, which is used to control the operation of the drive motor 5.

[0026] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the floating body 3 is a hot air balloon, a hydrogen balloon, or a helium balloon.

[0027] In the above embodiment, the floating body 3 has a certain buoyancy, which can keep the monitoring camera 1 suspended in the air, allowing the monitoring camera 1 to monitor wild animals and plants. When wild animals move, the controller controls the drive mechanism to work, enabling the floating body 3 to move horizontally, thus allowing the monitoring camera 1 to follow and monitor the wild animals, thereby observing more of their living habits. When a turn is needed, the drive motor 5 reverses under the control of the controller, driving the ratchet 6 to rotate, which in turn causes the ratchet 6 to rotate along the gear ring 4, and then the drive motor 5 to rotate circumferentially along the fixed ring 2. The drive motor 5 drives the first fan blade 7 to rotate. When it rotates to the set direction, the drive motor 5 rotates clockwise, and the ratchet 6 no longer rotates along the gear ring 4. At this time, only the first fan blade 7 rotates, generating thrust to move the invention.

[0028] Among them, the floating body 3 can be a hot air balloon, a hydrogen balloon, or a helium balloon. Helium balloons and hot air balloons are less dangerous. Helium balloons do not require heating the gas, so helium balloons are more suitable.

[0029] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the drive motor 5 is provided with a connecting plate 8, and a support plate 9 is provided at one end of the connecting plate 8 away from the drive motor 5. A second fan blade 10 is provided on the support plate 9, and a synchronous belt 11 is provided between the second fan blade 10 and the first fan blade 7.

[0030] As a further aspect of the present invention, the diameter of the second fan blade 10 is smaller than the diameter of the first fan blade 7.

[0031] In the above embodiment, because the floating body 3 has a large volume and a small mass, it experiences significant wind resistance during the start-up process after turning, which can easily cause it to tilt, resulting in shaking of the surveillance camera 1 and affecting the monitoring effect. By providing a support plate 9, the floating body 3 can be supported from the side. When the first fan blade 7 rotates, it drives the second fan blade 10 to rotate. The first and second fan blades 7 and 10 simultaneously generate thrust, pushing the floating body 3 and the surveillance camera 1 together, thus preventing the floating body 3 from tilting and ensuring stable shooting by the surveillance camera 1. Because the surveillance camera 1 and the floating body 3 have different weights, the second fan blade 10 is smaller than the first fan blade 7 to prevent the floating body 3 from tilting in the opposite direction due to excessive thrust.

[0032] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the connecting plate 8 is provided with a limiting ring 12, and the limiting ring 12 is provided with a limiting block 13 and a positioning block 14 rotatably connected. The positioning block 14 is provided with a blade 15, a roller 16, a return spring 17 and an electromagnet 18 for changing the position of the roller 16 in sequence along its length direction. The positioning block 14 passes through the roller 16 and is in clearance fit with the roller 16. The ratchet 6 is provided with a driving wheel 20 concentrically arranged, and the fixed ring 2 is provided with a ring 21 concentric with it for driving the roller 16 to rotate.

[0033] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the blade 15 has a bevel 19, which is used to generate a backward thrust when rotating.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the floating body 3 may encounter obstacles such as wildflowers and grasses during its movement, thus hindering the movement of the invention. When the controller observes from the monitoring camera 1 that the invention is obstructed by wildflowers and grasses, it activates the electromagnet 18. The electromagnet 18 generates a magnetic attraction force on the roller 16, allowing the roller 16 to move towards the electromagnet 18. After the roller 16 reaches the set position, it contacts the surface of the ring 21. Because the ring 21 is in contact with the drive wheel 20, the drive wheel 20 is constantly rotating under the drive of the drive motor 5, causing the ring 21 to rotate on the surface of the fixed ring 2. After the roller 16 contacts the fixed ring 2, it rotates under the drive of the fixed ring 2, thereby causing the positioning block 14 and the blade 15 to rotate. When the blade 15 rotates, it can clear obstacles in the direction of the floating body 3's movement, thus allowing the floating body 3 to regain its mobility. When there is no need to clear obstacles, the electromagnet 18 stops working, and the roller 16 disengages from the ring 21 under the action of the return spring 17, thereby stopping the blade 15 from rotating, in order to save energy and maintain balance.

[0035] Among them, the blade 15 and roller 16 and the drive motor 5 are located at both ends of the floating body 3, and their respective weights are in a balanced state. This prevents the center of gravity of the floating body 3 from shifting due to excessive weight on one end of the drive motor 5, thus ensuring the normal shooting of the monitoring camera 1.

[0036] Meanwhile, the inclined edge 19 on the blade 15 can generate a thrust in the opposite direction of the floating body 3 when it rotates, which helps the floating body 3 to separate from the obstacle and enables the floating body 3 to get out of trouble quickly.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
