[0058] Traditional field surveys of rice diseases and pests often rely on manual investigation by agricultural technicians, which suffers from high labor intensity, subjectivity, and low efficiency. Existing technology discloses a patent application (patent number 202210361620.2) entitled "Rice Disease and Pest Photography Pole," which uses a stabilizing adjustment mechanism at the bottom of the pole to insert into the mud of the rice paddy, thus preventing camera shake and obtaining relatively clear images. However, in practical use, the extreme positions of the camera component's upward or downward movement cannot be determined, requiring manual intervention, making it inconvenient and inflexible.

[0059] To resolve the above issues, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 7This embodiment relates to an intelligent rice pest and disease photography device 100, including a housing 1, a camera mechanism 2, a drive mechanism 3, and a limiting mechanism 4. At least one camera slot 11 extending along a first direction a is provided on the side of the housing 1. The housing 1 includes an insertion part 12 at the bottom for inserting into rice soil. The camera mechanism 2 is installed inside the housing 1 and includes at least one camera 22, with each camera 22 corresponding to one camera slot 11. The camera 22 takes pictures through the camera slot 11. The drive mechanism 3 is installed inside the housing 1, and its output end is connected to the camera 22. The drive mechanism 3 is used to drive the camera 22 to move along the first direction a. The limiting mechanism 4 includes a lower limiting component 42 and an upper limiting component 41. The lower limiting component 42 includes a lower limiting induction switch 42. 1. A lower limit magnet ring 422 corresponding to the lower limit sensor switch 421 is installed below the camera assembly 2. The lower limit magnet ring 422 is movably sleeved on the housing 1 and is close to the insertion part 12. The lower limit assembly 42 is used to restrict the lower limit magnet ring 422 from moving upward along the first direction a to prevent water in the rice soil from seeping into the camera assembly 2. The upper limit assembly 41 includes an upper limit sensor switch 411 and an upper limit magnet 412 corresponding to the upper limit sensor switch 411. The upper limit sensor switch 411 is installed above the camera assembly 2. The upper limit magnet 412 is disposed on the housing 1 and located above the lower limit magnet ring 422. The upper limit assembly 41 is used to restrict the movement of the camera assembly 2 so that the camera assembly 2 stops moving.

[0060] The housing 1 can be a hollow cylinder or cuboid. The housing 1 includes an insertion part 12 at the bottom, which may be a tapered section at the bottom of the housing 1. Optionally, the insertion part 12 has a pointed structure for easy insertion into the rice paddy soil. The insertion depth of the insertion part 12 into the rice paddy soil is 15-25 cm, ensuring the intelligent rice pest and disease imaging device 100 is securely inserted into the soil. Inserting the insertion part 12 into the soil facilitates subsequent changes in the insertion position to capture images of rice pests and diseases at different locations. At least one camera slot 11 is provided on the side of the housing 1, extending along a first direction a. Optionally, the camera slot 11 can be a long slot or an oblong slot, etc.

[0061] The camera mechanism 2 is mainly used to collect images of rice diseases and pests in different locations. Specifically, the camera mechanism 2 includes at least one camera 22, and one camera 22 corresponds to one camera slot 11, that is, one camera 22 can take pictures outside the housing 1 through the corresponding camera slot 11.

[0062] The drive mechanism 3 is installed inside the housing 1. The drive mechanism 3 is mainly used to drive the camera mechanism 2 to move along the first direction a. Optionally, the range of movement of the camera mechanism 2 is the length of the camera slot 11 along the first direction a.

[0063] The limiting mechanism 4 includes a lower limit component 42 and an upper limit component. The lower limit component 42 includes a lower limit sensor switch 421 and a corresponding lower limit magnet ring 422. The upper limit component 41 includes an upper limit sensor switch 411 and a corresponding upper limit magnet 412. In actual use, such as... Figure 4 As shown, when the intelligent rice pest and disease shooting device 100 is inserted into the soil, the camera assembly 2 is at the bottom of the camera slot 11. Since the lower limit movable ring is movably fitted onto the housing 1, the lower limit movable ring will be pushed upward by the soil and water until the lower limit induction switch 421 senses the lower limit magnetic ring and stops, thus ensuring that the camera assembly 22 will not enter the water surface. Figure 5 As shown, when the camera assembly 2 moves upward from the bottom of the camera slot 11 until the upper limit sensor switch 411 senses the upper limit magnetic ring, a set of photos is taken, and therefore, the camera assembly 2 stops moving. Optionally, both the upper limit sensor switch 411 and the lower limit sensor switch 421 are magnetic induction switches. Because of the limit mechanism 4, the camera assembly 2 can take photos before the specified lowest and highest points without manual intervention, making it more flexible and convenient to use.

[0064] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive mechanism 3 includes a drive unit 31 and a lead screw 32. The output end of the drive unit 31 is connected to the lead screw 32. The lead screw 32 is disposed in the housing 1 along the first direction a. The camera mechanism 2 is mounted on the lead screw 32. The drive unit 31 is used to drive the lead screw 32 to rotate, so as to drive the camera mechanism 2 to move along the first direction a.

[0065] The drive unit 31 can be a stepper motor or a motor, etc. Under the action of the drive unit 31, the lead screw 32 rotates, thereby causing the camera mechanism 2 mounted on the lead screw 32 to move along the first direction a. In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 3 can also be a combination of a slide rail (the slide rail extends along the first direction a) and a slider, with the camera mechanism 2 mounted on the slider, and a cylinder mounted on the slide rail, causing the camera mechanism 2 to move along the first direction a under the action of the cylinder.

[0066] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, four camera slots 11 are provided on the side of the housing 1. The camera mechanism 2 includes four cameras 22 and a camera mounting base 21. The camera mounting base 21 has four cameras 22 evenly distributed around the perimeter.

[0067] The camera mounting base 21 can be a cylinder or a cuboid, etc. Four cameras 22 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the mounting base 21, allowing the intelligent rice pest and disease imaging device 100 to acquire four images at a time. Specifically, in actual operation, the intelligent rice pest and disease imaging device 100 is inserted at the intersection of the two diagonals of four rice seedlings, allowing simultaneous acquisition of images of pests and diseases on all four seedlings, thereby improving operational efficiency and shortening operation time.

[0068] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the intelligent rice disease and pest shooting device 100 also includes a control module, and a power switch 13 is also provided on the housing 1, which is communicatively connected to the control module.

[0069] To better control the camera mechanism 2, the intelligent rice pest and disease shooting device 100 also includes a control module, which is communicatively connected to the power switch 13 installed on the housing 1. On one hand, the control module can control the operation of the drive mechanism 3 and the camera mechanism 2; on the other hand, it can control the shooting position of the camera mechanism 2.

[0070] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent rice disease and pest shooting device 100 also includes a removable battery 5, which is installed on the top of the housing 1. The removable battery 5 has a receiving cavity inside for placing the control module.

[0071] The power of the intelligent rice disease and pest shooting device 100 comes from the removable battery 5, and a control module is installed inside the removable battery 5.

[0072] The removable battery 5 is installed on the top of the housing 1, which serves as a handrail and facilitates subsequent charging to ensure continued use. In some embodiments, the power of the intelligent rice disease and pest shooting device 100 comes from a solid-state battery.

[0073] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control module includes a control box 6 and a built-in antenna, which is used for communication with external devices.

[0074] The camera module 2 can communicate with external devices via its built-in antenna, allowing the control box 6 to transmit photos taken by the camera module 2 to these devices in real time via a network for processing. These external devices can be computers, mobile phones, or mobile apps. In some embodiments, the control module can also communicate with external devices via a Bluetooth module.

[0075] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the intelligent rice disease and pest shooting device 100 also includes a lens protective cover 7, which is fitted onto the housing 1. The lens protective cover 7 is provided with an upper limit magnet 412. The lens protective cover 7 is used to allow the camera 22 to enter, so as to protect the camera 22.

[0076] Since the intelligent rice pest and disease shooting device 100 is installed outdoors, a lens protective cover 7 is provided to prevent damage to the camera 22 of the camera assembly 2 when it is not in use. The lens protective cover 7 is fitted onto the housing 1 and is located at the upper end of the housing 1. When the lens protective cover 7 is provided, an upper limit magnet 412 is installed on the lens protective cover 7. The upper limit magnet 412 can be a magnet. The diameter of the lens protective cover 7 is larger than the diameter of the camera assembly 2, so that the lens protective cover 7 can accommodate the camera 22. In actual use, when the camera assembly 2 moves upward from the bottom of the camera slot 11 until the upper limit sensor switch 411 senses the upper limit magnetic ring, the camera 22 is placed inside the lens protective cover 7, thereby protecting the camera 22 from being damaged or contaminated.

[0077] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the lower limit assembly 42 also includes a lower limit movable sleeve 423, which is movably fitted onto the housing 1, and a lower limit magnet ring 422 is provided above the lower limit movable sleeve 423.

[0078] To prevent the lower limit magnet ring 422 from directly contacting soil or water, which could lead to its subsequent failure, a lower limit movable sleeve 423 is also provided. The lower limit movable sleeve 423 is movably fitted onto the housing 1, and the lower limit magnet ring 422 is positioned above the lower limit movable sleeve 423. Optionally, the lower limit magnet ring 422 can be detachably connected to the lower limit movable sleeve 423 by snapping it onto it. Preferably, as... Figure 6 As shown, in order to make the lower limit movable sleeve 423 float better, the lower limit movable sleeve 423 adopts a hollow sandwich design to increase the buoyancy on the water surface.

[0079] like Figure 7 As shown, the working principle of the intelligent rice disease and pest shooting device 100 is as follows: initially, the camera mechanism 2 is located inside the lens protective sleeve 7, that is... Figure 5 As shown. When the user turns on the power switch 13, the drive mechanism 3 will drive the camera mechanism 2 to move to the lower end of the housing 1, that is... Figure 4As shown, at this time, the lower limit component 42 functions to ensure that water in the rice soil does not seep into the camera module 2. Then, the drive mechanism 3 drives the camera module 2 to move upwards along the first direction a, taking pictures sequentially at points A, B, C, D, and E. For example, when the camera module 2 is at point A, it takes four pictures, meaning each camera 22 takes one picture, and so on. The number of picture positions and the spacing between them are set by the control module, which can communicate with external devices to allow these settings to be changed. When the camera module 2 reaches the upper limit magnet 412, it stops working, and one set of pictures is complete. Turning the power off and on again initiates the next set of pictures. The captured photos can be sent in real-time to external devices for processing via the network from the control box 6.

[0080] Unlike existing technologies, the above technical solution incorporates a limiting mechanism 4 in the rice pest photography device. The limiting mechanism 4 includes an upper limiting component 41 and a lower limiting component 42. The upper limiting component 41, through the cooperation of its upper limiting sensor switch 411 and upper limiting magnet 412, restricts the camera assembly 2 from moving. Similarly, the lower limiting component 42, through the cooperation of its lower limiting sensor switch 421 and lower limiting magnet ring 422, restricts the lower limiting magnet ring 422 from moving upwards along the first direction a, thereby preventing water from seeping into the camera assembly 2 from the rice paddy soil. Because of the limiting mechanism 4, the camera assembly 2 can take pictures before the specified lowest and highest points without manual intervention, making it more flexible and convenient to use.

[0081] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
