Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of agricultural sensing technology, and in particular to an insect monitoring system combining vertical axis wind power and solar energy. Background Art

[0002] Generally, the detection and management of farmland pests and diseases primarily rely on manual inspections or traditional pest detection equipment. While manual inspections can visually detect pests and diseases, they consume significant human resources and their accuracy is affected by individual differences. Furthermore, due to limited human resources, inspection coverage is often very limited, making it easy to miss pests. Furthermore, manual inspections cannot provide continuous, 24 / 7 monitoring to capture dynamic changes in pest infestations. Currently, there is a lack of standardized regulations and unified statistical methods for pest observation, hindering the establishment of an insect infestation information database due to the lack of quantitative statistical data.

[0003] Traditional pest detection equipment, such as light-based traps, is limited in type and functionality. Their light sources suffer from low insect capture efficiency, a narrow attracting range, and a limited variety of attractants due to their limited wavelength spectrum. Furthermore, these devices lack automatic identification and counting capabilities, potentially leading to a loss of data integrity and continuity. Furthermore, the inability to remotely view data and control the equipment limits their widespread and long-term use. These devices typically rely on grid power, making them unusable in off-grid farmland environments. Furthermore, they often suffer from low lifespans and reliability.

[0004] There are also some intelligent pest monitoring devices, but these typically have relatively low insect recognition capabilities and limited recognition algorithms and models, making them unable to output accurate pest information. Furthermore, these devices are often large, difficult to transport, and require high energy, posing numerous challenges in installation, maintenance, and application in complex terrain.

[0040] To further clarify the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention, the following detailed description of the present invention's insect monitoring system combining vertical-axis wind power and solar energy is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be noted that the features of the following embodiments and examples may be combined unless they conflict. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The insect monitoring system combining vertical axis wind power and solar energy according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base 101, a main support trunk 102, a branch support trunk 103, a light trapping device, a fan 110, a wind turbine, a solar panel, a conical funnel 104 and a camera 114.

[0042] The main support trunk 102 is a hollow cylindrical structure, which is vertically arranged on the base 101. The branch support trunk 103 is a hollow cylindrical structure, which is arranged at the side wall of the main support trunk 102 with an upward tilt. Figure 1 The left end of the middle part) is connected to the cylindrical body of the support trunk 102.

[0043] The light trapping device includes a top cover 106, a light source 107, and a funnel 109 with a large upper opening and a small lower opening. The top cover 106 is connected to the funnel 109 through a bracket 105. The light source 107 is set below the top cover 106. The lower opening of the funnel 109 is connected to the second end of the support branch 103 ( Figure 1 The funnel 109 serves as an insect collecting port.

[0044] The fan 110 is arranged in the cylinder of the support trunk 102 and is located above the support branch 103. The fan 110 is used to generate an airflow from top to bottom in the cylinder of the support trunk 102; the wind turbine and the solar panel are used to power the insect monitoring device.

[0045] The conical funnel 104 is mounted on the inner side of the cylinder of the pillar trunk 102 as a collection and observation channel. The conical funnel 104 includes a funnel body 1041 and a funnel tube 1042 connected to the funnel body 1041. The lower end of the funnel tube 1042 is connected to the outlet 1021 on the side wall of the pillar trunk 102. The funnel tube 1042 is transparent.

[0046] The camera 114 is disposed in the barrel of the support trunk 102, above the outlet 1021, and is used to capture images in the funnel tube 1042. The camera 114 may be a CMOS industrial-grade camera.

[0047] The angle between the support branch 103 and the support trunk 102 is an acute angle. A collecting port is set at the top of the support branch 103, and the support branch 103 and the support trunk 102 form an angle less than 90 degrees. The insect collecting port has a constricted structure for guiding the airflow. Start the fan 110, and the airflow passes through the support trunk 102 from top to bottom, forming a negative pressure suction force on the support trunk 103. The specific direction of the airflow is shown as the airflow direction 115. The insects are attracted to the top of the collecting port by the light source 107, and then sucked into the conical funnel 104 as a collection and observation channel by the negative pressure. Preferably, the inner diameter of the cylinder of the support trunk 102 is 1.5-2 times the inner diameter of the cylinder of the support trunk 103. The first end of the support trunk 103 ( Figure 1 The left end of the support column 103 is located in the middle of the cylinder side wall between the fan 110 and the conical funnel 104. Such a design can further improve the negative pressure suction of the support column 103, which is more conducive to the collection of insects.

[0048] The main body of the base 101 may also be a cylindrical structure, so that the support branches 103 can be sleeved and fixed on the base 101 .

[0049] The wind turbine includes a generator 112 and blades 113. The generator 112 is arranged in the cylinder of the support trunk 102. The blades 113 are arranged at the top of the support trunk 102. The blades 113 are spiral-wing vertical-axis wind impellers or straight-wing vertical-axis wind impellers.

[0050] The top cover 106 is in the shape of a bamboo hat and covers the funnel body 109. The light source 107 is an LED light source that uses a full spectrum of wavelengths of 380-760nm.

[0051] The blades of the fan 110 may be curved blades or inclined blades, the speed range of the fan 110 may be 1500-2500 rpm, the motor of the fan 110 may be a brushless DC motor, and the power may be 80-100W.

[0052] The internal fan 110 generates a suction airflow during rotation, capturing insects drawn to the collection port by the light. A constricted drainage structure at the collection port facilitates airflow concentration and guides insects into the container. The airflow generated by the rotating fan in the main support 102 creates negative pressure in the collector, drawing insects into the collection device.

[0053] Fan 110 can be constructed using a common industrial fan design, with blades set at an angle of 15-30°, a medium- to low-speed airfoil, and a rotational speed range of 1500-2500 rpm. Blades should be made of a material with a certain strength and durability, such as fiberglass. The impeller can adopt a simple fixed-blade design to ensure structural reliability. A brushless DC motor can be used as the motor, with power options ranging from 80-100W.

[0054] As a preferred embodiment, the insect monitoring system combining vertical axis wind power and solar energy also includes a clutch assembly 111, which includes an electronically controlled clutch and a coupling connected to the electronically controlled clutch. One end of the clutch assembly 111 is connected to the shaft of the generator 112, and the other end of the clutch assembly 111 is connected to the shaft of the fan 110. The shaft of the generator 112 serves as the driving shaft, and the shaft of the fan 110 serves as the driven shaft.

[0055] The fan and wind turbine impeller share a main shaft, with an electronically controlled clutch separating the driving and driven shafts. Clutch assembly 111 uses a solution similar to the AL KMSD2 manufactured by Altra Power Transmission. When wind blows, the clutch engages, driving the impeller and the entire shaft system, which in turn drives fan 110. When wind stops, the clutch disengages, and fan 110 is driven by its own independent motor.

[0056] As a preferred embodiment, the insect monitoring system combining vertical axis wind power and solar energy also includes a battery, a communication module, an electronic control unit and an information recognition unit.

[0057] The battery, communication module and electronic control unit are integrated in the base 101. The battery is charged by the wind turbine and solar panel. The battery is used to provide power for the insect monitoring device.

[0058] The electronic control unit includes a wind speed sensor and a wind power switching module. The wind speed sensor is used to monitor the wind speed. The wind power switching module is used to control the electronically controlled clutch to disconnect and control the fan 110 to be connected to the battery when the wind speed is lower than the preset wind speed, and to control the electronically controlled clutch to close and control the fan 110 to be disconnected from the battery when the wind speed is higher than the preset wind speed.

[0059] The information identification unit is in communication connection with the camera 114 via the communication module, and is used to analyze and identify the insect image data captured by the camera 114 through a deep learning algorithm.

[0060] A solar panel is installed in the middle of the main support 102 as an auxiliary energy source. An intelligent converter is used to control the switching of wind and solar energy.

[0061] As another preferred embodiment, the insect monitoring system combining vertical axis wind power and solar energy further includes a reflective mirror 108 , which is rotatably disposed between the top cover 106 and the funnel body 109 .

[0062] Preferably, the outline of the reflective mirror surface 108 is fan-shaped, the longitudinal section of the reflective mirror surface 108 is arc-shaped, a driving mechanism is provided at the top cover 106, the upper end of the reflective mirror surface 108 is connected to the driving mechanism through a transmission mechanism, and the lower end of the reflective mirror surface 108 is connected to a slide rail at the upper edge of the funnel body 109, so that the reflective mirror surface 108 can rotate along the upper edge of the funnel body 109 under the drive of the driving mechanism, the transmission mechanism is a worm gear transmission or a gear transmission, and the rotation speed of the reflective mirror surface 108 can be 20 revolutions per minute or other frequencies.

[0063] The driving mechanism is a motor. When the motor is started, the shaft and the lens (reflective mirror 108) rotate, forming a moving reflective beam. The light is reflected and covers the surrounding area, attracting insects to approach.

[0064] The light trapping device is located on the support trunk 103, which forms an angle of less than 90 degrees with the support trunk 102. The support trunk 103 adopts a hollow design, and has a circular collection port facing upward at the end. The fan set in the support trunk 102 will generate an airflow from top to bottom through the support trunk 102. The negative pressure formed in the support trunk 103 will generate suction from the collection port. At the same time, the airflow in the support trunk 102 also plays a role in gathering insect samples and sending them into the identification area. A light trapping system is provided directly above the collection port to attract insects to the vicinity of the collection port, and the suction of the collection port will suck the insects into the collection device.

[0065] The light trapping device mainly uses the insect's phototaxis to attract insects in the environment, and captures and identifies insects through the trapping device.

[0066] The light trapping device primarily consists of a light source, a reflective mirror, and a top cover. The top cover is conical, with a diameter larger than the collection port. It is connected to the top of the collection port via a support structure (bracket 105) to protect against rain and other wildlife. The light source is located below the top cover, suspended above the collection port. The reflective mirror is connected to a motor located in the center of the top cover via a transmission mechanism at the top, and to a slide rail at the edge of the collection port at the bottom.

[0067] A curved reflective surface can be used to focus light from point sources, increasing both the intensity and distance of the illumination. A mechanically rotating sector-shaped reflective lens can be used to create a moving reflective beam. The lens can be made of a glass substrate coated with aluminum and connected to a motor-driven rotating shaft via a transmission mechanism. The lens can be a curved sector-shaped lens connected to the motor shaft via a transmission mechanism, with a curvature that matches the inner wall of the lampshade and allows for smooth rotation. The bottom edge of the lens can be secured to the collector frame using a stainless steel frame, while the top edge is secured to the shaft. The lens assembly is driven by a stepper motor via a fixed shaft with a gear or worm drive. The speed can be set to 20 revolutions per minute or other frequencies.

[0068] Using LED light arrays as the light source for insect light trapping offers advantages such as long life, low energy consumption, and programmable control. The LEDs utilize a full spectrum of wavelengths from 380 to 760 nm to attract most insects. Furthermore, the LEDs can be tuned to wavelengths that are more attractive to target insects. For example, UV LEDs in the 200-400 nm range can be used to trap pests such as moths. The light source consists of multiple light panels or beads arranged in a prism-like, square, or cylindrical shape. A microcontroller is used to program and control the LED arrays, enabling customized lighting patterns such as timed on and strobe effects.

[0069] The vertical axis wind power and solar photovoltaic hybrid energy system used in this embodiment mainly realizes environmentally friendly, stable and adaptable power supply in complex environments by simultaneously arranging wind turbines and solar photovoltaic panels on the machine body.

[0070] The wind turbine module in a wind-solar hybrid energy system is located at the top of the main support. Because it utilizes a vertical-axis wind turbine, there's no need to adjust the turbine's orientation based on wind direction. Solar photovoltaic panels are primarily mounted on the main support, below the turbine, using brackets. Depending on the specific situation, they can also be retrofitted onto branch support structures, such as the top of a light trapping system's canopy.

[0071] A vertical-axis wind turbine is installed at the top of the support column. It primarily consists of a generator, an impeller, and the impeller is composed of blades, spokes, a main shaft, and other structural components. The design utilizes a vertical-axis wind turbine with multiple blades. The blades are flap-shaped and made of fiberglass or carbon fiber. Two blade and impeller designs are possible: spiral-shaped and straight-wing (H-rotor). Spiral-wing blades are spiral-shaped and typically consist of multiple blades curved around a central axis. They offer high energy efficiency but relatively high manufacturing and maintenance costs. Straight-wing wind turbine blades are typically vertically elongated rectangular blades with a flap-shaped design, offering high wind resistance and stability, while relatively low manufacturing and maintenance costs. Different blade and impeller designs can be used depending on the actual operating environment. Spokes are made of a lightweight, rigid material such as aluminum alloy. The main shaft is made of stainless steel and has a hollow structure.

[0072] A small solar photovoltaic panel is installed in the center of the main support as an additional energy source. The solar array uses independent MPPT control or module optimization control to adapt to different illumination levels. Wind and photovoltaic power generation methods serve as backup, with real-time switching achieved using a control mechanism combining intelligent inverters and electronic switches.

[0073] Industrial-grade cameras installed at the base of the pillars can more accurately capture images of passing insects. Deep learning algorithms are applied to analyze insect images for automatic identification. Wireless communication modules transmit data to a cloud service platform for analysis, statistics, and reporting.

[0074] The insect monitoring system of the present invention, which combines vertical axis wind power with solar energy, can automatically identify and count pests, obtain insect information more realistically and objectively, and improve the accuracy of insect information monitoring. It uses the negative pressure generated by the fan to suck insects into the collection device to improve the insect capture efficiency and solve the problems of low efficiency, long time consumption, and inaccuracy of manual collection. In addition, the mechanism of switching between wind energy and motor to drive the fan can improve the utilization efficiency of wind energy and reduce the energy consumption of the fan when it works for a long time.

[0075] The reflective mirror increases the light source's irradiation distance, compensating for the LED light source's insufficient power while also reducing energy consumption. The mirror's rotation allows the light to evenly cover the surrounding environment, avoiding blind spots that could affect data accuracy.

[0076] Wind-solar hybrid energy can ensure stability and efficiency in complex weather conditions, and also provide protection for the all-weather operation of hardware such as fans, cameras, sensors, communication modules, electronic control units, and information recognition units. The vertical-axis wind turbine used in this invention does not need to adjust its orientation according to wind direction, making it more suitable for miniaturized application scenarios. In addition, vertical-axis wind power also has the characteristics of low noise, anti-turbulence, simple and reliable structure, making it more suitable for the diverse environments in agricultural production.

[0077] The electronic control unit and information recognition unit provide intelligent solutions for the labor-intensive industry of insect monitoring. A novel convolutional neural network algorithm enables rapid and accurate insect species identification. The wireless communication module uploads machine vision data to a cloud service platform for analysis, statistics, and reporting, effectively alleviating the computing power limitations of neural network algorithms.

[0078] The electronic control unit includes wind speed monitoring and wind power switching. The wind speed sensor activates a clutch to disengage when wind speeds are too slow, switching fan power to the motor. The information recognition unit uses machine vision algorithms to identify captured insects and feeds this information back to the data center.

[0079] The electronic control unit is located at the base of the support. Wind-driven insect samples gather and pass through a narrow, diagonal or vertical channel. As the insects pass, cameras installed behind the channel's transparent inner wall record their morphological characteristics. The captured insects are then discharged from the end of the channel to the outside of the device. The battery and internet communication module are integrated into the base.

[0080] Insect image data is mainly acquired through CMOS industrial-grade cameras. The camera can use a wide aperture fixed-focus lens and a small to medium focal length lens. The image of the insect is captured through machine vision, and the information recognition unit uses a deep learning algorithm, such as a convolutional neural network algorithm, to distinguish the insect species. Based on this design, a rapid capture and rapid release working method is adopted for insect collection. In terms of algorithm, a CNN algorithm suitable for rapid identification similar to YOLOv5 can be applied. The insect sample model is learned by annotating images containing various common agricultural insects. Using a wireless communication module similar to a mobile 4G module, the collected insect data is uploaded to a cloud service platform for analysis, statistics, and reporting through the Internet of Things framework. In other embodiments, a wireless communication module similar to a mobile 4G module can also be used to upload the collected insect data to a cloud analysis platform for analysis and identification through the Internet of Things framework.

[0081] The vertical-axis wind-and-solar insect monitoring systems described in the aforementioned embodiments are highly automated, utilizing the negative pressure generated by the fan to draw insects into the collection device, thereby improving insect capture efficiency and addressing the issues of low efficiency, time consumption, and inaccuracy associated with manual collection. Furthermore, the mechanism of switching between wind energy and a motor to drive the fan improves wind energy utilization efficiency and reduces energy consumption during long-term fan operation.

[0082] The reflective mirror increases the light source's irradiation distance, compensating for the LED light source's insufficient power while also reducing energy consumption. The mirror's rotation allows the light to evenly cover the surrounding environment, avoiding blind spots that could affect data accuracy.

[0083] The hybrid wind and solar energy system ensures stability and efficiency in complex weather conditions, ensuring all-weather operation of hardware such as fans, cameras, sensors, communication modules, electronic control units, and information recognition units. The vertical-axis wind turbine employed in this invention eliminates the need for wind direction adjustments, making it more adaptable to miniaturized applications. Furthermore, vertical-axis wind turbines offer low noise, resistance to turbulence, and a simple and reliable structure, making them more adaptable to diverse agricultural production environments.

[0084] The electronic control unit and information recognition unit provide an intelligent solution for the labor-intensive industry of insect monitoring. A novel convolutional neural network algorithm enables rapid and accurate insect species identification, while a wireless communication module uploads machine vision data to a cloud service platform for analysis, statistics, and reporting. This approach effectively reduces the computing power limitations of neural network algorithms.

[0085] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but 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 spirit of the present invention, and any equivalent implementation methods or modifications that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
