Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of citrus information monitoring, and in particular to a non-destructive monitoring device for citrus information based on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform. Background Art

[0002] Since citrus is susceptible to a variety of diseases and pests during its growth period, it is necessary to use information monitoring devices to monitor the production of citrus to promptly detect diseased trees and the presence of the citrus psyllid, a vector of disease transmission, so that timely treatment can be carried out.

[0003] After searching, the invention patent with patent number CN110886943A discloses a device for intelligent identification of pests and diseases in citrus forests and forest information monitoring, including: a path track system and a mobile identification monitoring platform; the mobile identification monitoring platform is installed on the path track system; the mobile identification monitoring platform includes: a wheel structure, a platform base, a rotating mechanism, a horizontal telescopic mechanism and a vertical telescopic mechanism; wherein, the wheel structure is installed on both sides of the platform base; the rotating mechanism is rotatably installed on the top of the platform base; the horizontal telescopic mechanism is telescopically installed on the rotating mechanism; the horizontal telescopic mechanism is installed on the horizontal telescopic mechanism. Equipped with a collection module; the vertical telescopic mechanism passes through the platform base and is telescopically mounted at the bottom of the rotating mechanism; the rotating mechanism includes: a fixed portion, a rotating portion, and a first steering gear; the fixed portion is located on the platform base; the rotating portion is mounted on the fixed portion via the first steering gear, and the first steering gear is connected to the edge computing module; it can achieve unobstructed cruising in citrus groves at the near-ground end, and can identify and monitor pests and diseases in citrus groves with vast planting areas, reducing manpower and time investment, and is inexpensive; users can obtain images and data of areas of interest in real time from multiple angles, heights, and distances;

[0004] However, when conducting monitoring work in citrus groves, it is necessary to lay a large area of ​​a guide rail system in the citrus grove so that the mobile identification monitoring platform can move on the guide rail system to monitor the citrus trees. This will greatly increase the cost of citrus information monitoring, and the mobile identification monitoring platform moves in the direction of the extended guide rail system. When it is necessary to monitor citrus trees in a certain position according to actual conditions, since the guide rail system is installed in an S shape at the intersection of the crowns of the adjacent citrus trees, the identification monitoring platform moves to the corresponding position on the guide rail system for monitoring, which takes a long time and reduces the efficiency of the monitoring work. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Summary of the Invention
