Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biodiversity monitoring technology, specifically to a field monitoring device that is convenient and quick to locate and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] To conduct long-term, fixed-location monitoring of biodiversity in the field, automated monitoring equipment is typically deployed scientifically based on the activity patterns of organisms. Currently, these monitoring instruments are mainly battery-powered, requiring regular battery replacement, memory card retrieval, and instrument maintenance. To prevent animals from discovering or trampling the equipment, it is usually placed near vegetation for concealment. However, as the placement time increases, vegetation grows. Although the approximate location can be found using the latitude and longitude data, finding the equipment again becomes time-consuming and laborious, and in some cases, the equipment may even be lost, greatly affecting the efficiency and cost of fieldwork.

[0003] The existing monitoring equipment has the following shortcomings:

[0004] 1. Existing field monitoring equipment has a large positioning range, making it time-consuming and labor-intensive to locate, which increases the difficulty of the work.

[0005] 2. As vegetation grows over time at the location where the monitoring equipment is placed, it will cover the equipment, making it difficult for personnel to quickly spot the equipment when searching for it. This makes it impossible to locate the equipment quickly and can easily lead to loss, increasing monitoring costs.

[0006] 3. Generally, there is no fixed structure designed, and it is easy to tip over after being touched by animals, which seriously affects the monitoring work. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a field monitoring device that is convenient and quick to locate, in order to solve the problem that field monitoring devices cannot be quickly located and are easily lost.

[0008] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The first bevel gear and the second bevel gear mesh with each other, and the first bevel gear is larger than the second bevel gear.

[0017] Furthermore, the telescopic assembly includes a slider, two slide rods, two positioning rods, and four first connecting rods.

The slider is fixed on the outer wall of one of the slide rods near the outer shell, and the slider is threaded to a lead screw. The middle of every two first connecting rods located on the same side is hinged.

[0018] Furthermore, each ground nail has a conical structure, and a limiting piece is fixed on the top outer wall of each ground nail.

[0019] Furthermore, protective shells are fixedly provided at the top and bottom of the outer casing, and the first gear, the second gear, the first bevel gear, and the second bevel gear are respectively located inside the three protective shells.

[0020] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the housing, a support block is fixedly provided at the bottom of the limiting plate, a forward and reverse motor is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the support block, a drive gear is fixedly provided on its output end, a hinge shaft is provided at one bottom end of the limiting plate, a driven gear is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the hinge shaft, the drive gear and the driven gear are meshed and connected, and the drive gear is smaller than the driven gear.

[0021] Furthermore, the top two ends of the limiting plate are provided with rotating rods, and a sleeve is fixedly provided on the outer wall of each rotating rod. Several folding knives are fixedly provided on the outer wall of the sleeve. A rotating wheel is fixedly provided on the top of each rotating rod. A second connecting rod is hinged between two rotating wheels. The bottom end of one of the rotating rods is fixedly connected to the top end of the hinge shaft.

[0022] Furthermore, a protective cover is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the outer shell, and an emission slot is provided on the outer wall of the protective cover. A water leakage groove is provided at the bottom of the protective cover.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0024] 1. This invention designs an infrared ranging sensor with a radiation radius of approximately 20 meters. A sensing terminal is simultaneously installed on a mobile phone. When the monitoring personnel's phone enters the 20-meter radius, it receives the infrared signal emitted by the distance sensor, triggering a notification sound. This helps field workers quickly locate the monitoring equipment. Compared to existing technologies, this method allows monitoring personnel to easily navigate to the monitoring equipment based on the notification sound, achieving directional positioning and reducing work difficulty. Furthermore, compared to traditional latitude and longitude positioning, this method can locate the monitoring equipment more quickly and efficiently within a smaller area.

[0025] 2. This invention designs a cutting mechanism, namely a cutter and a rotating component, which, while achieving directional positioning, activates the rotating component via a controller to drive the cutter to rotate, thereby performing a circular cut on the vegetation, such as weeds, covering the device and providing clearance for the upcoming high-definition camera.

[0026] 3. This invention designs a lifting mechanism, namely a transmission component, a telescopic component, and two support plates. The transmission component links the cutting mechanism and the lifting mechanism, enabling them to operate synchronously. That is, while rotating and cutting vegetation, the entire device rises synchronously and extends out from the space after circumferential cutting. This allows monitoring personnel to quickly observe the specific location of the device, achieve rapid positioning, improve the positioning accuracy of the monitoring device, effectively reduce the working time of field workers, and improve work efficiency.

[0027] 4. This invention, through the design of a reversible motor, a driving gear, a driven gear, a rotating rod, a sleeve, a folding blade, a rotating wheel, a second connecting rod, and a proximity sensor, ensures that when the proximity sensor detects vegetation growing to a height sufficient to obscure the output of the infrared ranging sensor, it sends this signal to the controller. The controller then activates the reversible motor, which, through two sleeves, drives several folding blades to swing back and forth, cutting off the vegetation obscuring the output of the infrared ranging sensor. Thus, when monitoring personnel search for the equipment, it does not affect the infrared signal emitted by the infrared ranging sensor, facilitating rapid device location and further improving the positioning effect. Simultaneously, it effectively reduces the probability of losing field monitoring equipment and saves on field monitoring costs.

[0028] 5. This invention, through the design of a transmission component, links the cutting mechanism and the lifting mechanism together to achieve synchronous operation of the two. Compared with existing monitoring equipment, this not only reduces the number of drive power supplies used and lowers the overall power consumption of the equipment, thus reducing monitoring costs and extending the equipment's battery life, but also reduces the overall structure of the equipment, lowers manufacturing costs and floor space, and enhances its concealment during placement.

[0029] 6. This invention uses four ground nails and four limiting plates. When installing this device, the four ground nails need to be inserted into the ground to position the device and prevent it from tipping over due to animal collisions. The limiting plates limit the insertion of the four ground nails to prevent them from being inserted too deeply and difficult to pull out. Each ground nail is designed with a conical structure to ensure easy insertion and removal, thus improving the ease of assembly and disassembly of this device. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0051] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0052] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are schematic diagrams, not actual images. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, some parts in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product.

[0053] Example 1: This invention provides a technical solution, referring to... Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a convenient and rapid field monitoring device includes four ground stakes 1.

[0054] It also includes a controller, a housing 2, an infrared ranging sensor 3, a high-definition camera 4, a lifting mechanism 5, and a cutting mechanism 6. The high-definition camera 4 is used to monitor organisms and transmit images to the mobile terminal in real time through the controller.

[0055] All four ground stakes 1 are inserted into the ground.

[0056] The lifting mechanism 5 is located on top of the four ground spikes 1. The lifting mechanism 5 includes a transmission assembly 50, a telescopic assembly 51, and two support plates 52. The two support plates 52 are respectively fixed to the bottom of the outer casing 2 and the top of the four ground spikes 1. The telescopic assembly 51 is located between the two support plates 52, and the transmission assembly 50 is located on the outer casing 2.

[0057] The outer casing 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the lifting mechanism 5, the high-definition camera 4 is mounted on the top of the outer casing 2, and the infrared range sensor 3 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the outer casing 2.

[0058] The cutting mechanism 6 is located on the top of the housing 2. The cutting mechanism 6 includes a cutter 60 and a rotating assembly 61. The rotating assembly 61 is located on the housing 2. The cutter 60 is fixedly located on the top of the rotating assembly 61. The infrared ranging sensor 3, the high-definition camera 4, the rotating assembly 61, and the controller are all electrically connected.

[0059] Reference Figure 3As shown, the rotating assembly 61 includes a stepper motor 610, a first gear 611, and a gear ring 612. The stepper motor 610 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the housing 2, the first gear 611 is fixedly mounted on its output end, the top of the housing 2 is fixedly mounted on the annular guide rail 20, and the gear ring 612 is rotatably mounted on the top of the annular guide rail 20 via a bearing 21. The first gear 611 meshes with the gear ring 612. The cutter 60 is fixedly mounted on the top of the gear ring 612 via a plug rod 600. A limiting groove 22 is fixedly provided on the top of the annular guide rail 20, and the plug rod 600 is inserted into the limiting groove 22. The stepper motor 610 is electrically connected to the controller. For long-term field monitoring of biodiversity, automatic field monitoring equipment is typically deployed scientifically based on biological activity trajectories. Currently, these monitoring instruments are mainly powered by batteries, requiring regular battery replacement, memory card retrieval, and instrument maintenance. To prevent animals from discovering or trampling them, the monitoring equipment is usually placed near vegetation for concealment. However, as the placement time increases… While vegetation can be grown, and although its approximate location can be found using latitude and longitude data, locating the equipment again can be time-consuming and laborious, sometimes even leading to instrument loss, greatly impacting fieldwork efficiency and costs. Therefore, an infrared ranging sensor 3 is installed on the outer wall of the equipment, covering a radius of about 20 meters. A sensing terminal is simultaneously installed on a mobile phone. When the monitoring personnel's mobile phone enters the 20-meter radius, it can receive the infrared signal emitted by the distance sensor, and the mobile phone will emit a prompt sound, helping field workers to quickly locate the monitoring equipment. At the same time, the stepper motor 610 is started by the controller, thereby driving the first gear 611 on its output end to rotate. Since the gear ring 612 is rotatably connected to the annular guide rail 20 through the bearing 21, the first gear 611 meshes with the gear ring 612. The cutter 60 is fixedly connected to the top of the gear ring 612 through the insert rod 600, thereby driving the cutter 60 to rotate and perform annular cutting on the vegetation covering the equipment, such as weeds, providing clearance for the upcoming high-definition camera 4.

[0060] Reference Figure 5As shown, the transmission assembly 50 includes a second gear 500, a first bevel gear 501, a second bevel gear 502, and a lead screw 503. A rotating shaft is located at the end of the housing 2 furthest from the stepper motor 610. The second gear 500 and the first bevel gear 501 are fixedly mounted on the top and bottom of the rotating shaft, respectively. The second gear 500 meshes with a gear ring 612. Two mounting blocks are fixedly mounted on the top of a support plate 52 furthest from the housing 2. The lead screw 503 is rotatably positioned between the two mounting blocks. The second bevel gear 502 is fixedly mounted at one end of the lead screw 503. The first bevel gear 501 and the second bevel gear 502 mesh with each other. Furthermore, the first bevel gear 501 is larger than the second bevel gear 502. While the gear ring 612 rotates and drives the cutter 60 to perform circumferential cutting on the vegetation, the gear ring 612 is meshed with the second gear 500. Both the second gear 500 and the first bevel gear 501 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The second bevel gear 502 is meshed with the first bevel gear 501. The second bevel gear 502 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 503, thereby driving the lead screw 503 to rotate. The first bevel gear 501 is designed to be larger than the second bevel gear 502 in order to ensure that the lead screw 503 rotates more times, so that the sliding stroke of the two slide rods 511 can be larger.

[0061] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic assembly 51 includes a slider 510, two slide rods 511, two positioning rods 512, and four first connecting rods 513. Each support plate 52 has two grooves 514 near the end of the slider 510. Each slide rod 511 is located between two grooves 514. Each positioning rod 512 is fixed to the end of a support plate 52 away from the slide rod 511. Each first connecting rod 513 is hinged to a positioning rod 512, and the end of each first connecting rod 513 away from the positioning rod 512 is hinged to a slide rod 511. The slider 510 is fixed to the outer wall of one of the slide rods 511 near the outer shell 2, and the slider 510 is threadedly connected to a lead screw 503. The middle of every two first connecting rods 513 located on the same side is hinged. When the lead screw 503 rotates, due to the connection between the lead screw 503 and the slider 510... The slider 510 is fixedly connected to one of the slide rods 511 near the outer shell 2. Each slide rod 511 is inserted into two slide grooves 514 of the same height. The end of each first link 513 away from the positioning rod 512 is hinged to a slide rod 511. Each positioning rod 512 is fixedly connected to the end of a support plate 52 away from the slide rod 511. The middle of every two first links 513 on the same side is hinged, so that the two slide rods 511 slide from left to right in the two slide grooves 514 and drive the four first links 513 to unfold. This further drives the support plate 52 above and the monitoring equipment on top to rise synchronously, and then extend out from the space after the ring cut. This makes it convenient for monitoring personnel to quickly observe the specific position of the equipment and quickly locate it. This can effectively reduce the working time of field workers and improve work efficiency.

[0062] Reference Figure 4 As shown, each ground nail 1 has a conical structure, and a limiting piece 10 is fixed on the top outer wall of each ground nail 1. When installing this device, four ground nails 1 need to be inserted into the ground to position the device and prevent it from tipping over due to animal collision. The limiting piece 10 has a limiting effect to prevent the four ground nails 1 from being inserted too deeply and difficult to pull out. The conical structure of each ground nail 1 is designed to ensure easy insertion and removal and improve the ease of assembly and disassembly of this device.

[0063] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, protective shells 23 are fixedly provided on the top and bottom of the outer shell 2. The first gear 611, the second gear 500, the first bevel gear 501 and the second bevel gear are respectively located inside the three protective shells 23. The three protective shells 23 are used to cover the first gear 611, the second gear 500, the first bevel gear 501 and the second bevel gear respectively to prevent rainwater corrosion.

[0064] A method for using a convenient and rapid field monitoring device includes the following steps:

[0065] S1: Equipment Installation:

[0066] Four ground nails 1 are inserted into the ground to position the device and prevent it from tipping over due to animal collisions. The limiting piece 10 serves to limit the insertion of the four ground nails 1, preventing them from being inserted too deeply and difficult to pull out. Each ground nail 1 is designed with a conical structure to ensure easy insertion and removal, and to improve the ease of assembly and disassembly of the device.

[0067] S2: Clearing of cover vegetation:

[0068] The infrared ranging sensor 3 can cover a distance of about 20m. A sensing terminal is installed on the mobile phone. When the monitoring personnel's mobile phone enters the 20m radius, it can receive the infrared signal emitted by the distance sensor and the mobile phone will emit a prompt sound to help the field staff quickly locate the monitoring equipment. At the same time, the stepper motor 610 is started by the controller, which drives the first gear 611 on its output end to rotate. Since the gear ring 612 is rotatably connected to the annular guide rail 20 through the bearing 21, the first gear 611 and the gear ring 612 are meshed. The cutter 60 is fixedly connected to the top of the gear ring 612 through the plug rod 600, which drives the cutter 60 to rotate and perform annular cutting on the vegetation covering the equipment, such as weeds, to provide avoidance space for the high-definition camera 4 that is about to rise.

[0069] S3: Synchronous and rapid positioning of the device:

[0070] While the gear ring 612 rotates and drives the cutter 60 to perform ring cutting on the vegetation, the gear ring 612 is meshed with the second gear 500. The second gear 500 and the first bevel gear 501 are both fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The second bevel gear 502 is meshed with the first bevel gear 501. The second bevel gear 502 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 503, thereby driving the lead screw 503 to rotate. The first bevel gear 501 is designed to be larger than the second bevel gear 502 in order to ensure that the lead screw 503 rotates more times, so that the sliding stroke of the two slide rods 511 can be larger.

[0071] When the lead screw 503 rotates, it is threadedly connected to the slider 510. The slider 510 is fixedly connected to one of the slide rods 511 near the outer casing 2. Each slide rod 511 is inserted into two slide grooves 514 of the same height. The end of each first connecting rod 513 away from the positioning rod 512 is hinged to a slide rod 511. Each positioning rod 512 is fixedly connected to the end of a support plate 52 away from the slide rod 511. The middle of every two first connecting rods 513 on the same side is hinged, which causes the two slide rods 511 to slide from left to right in the two slide grooves 514 and drive the four first connecting rods 513 to unfold. This further drives the support plate 52 above and the monitoring equipment on top to rise synchronously, thus extending out from the space after the ring cut. This allows monitoring personnel to quickly observe the specific location of the equipment and quickly locate it, which can effectively reduce the working time of field workers and improve work efficiency.

[0072] The three protective shells 23 are used to cover the first gear 611, the second gear 500, the first bevel gear 501 and the second bevel gear respectively to prevent rainwater corrosion.

[0073] Working principle: When installing this equipment, four ground nails 1 need to be inserted into the ground to position the equipment and prevent it from tipping over due to animal collision. The limiting piece 10 has a limiting effect to prevent the four ground nails 1 from being inserted too deeply and difficult to pull out. Each ground nail 1 is designed with a conical structure to ensure easy insertion and removal and improve the ease of assembly and disassembly of this equipment.

[0074] The infrared ranging sensor 3 can cover a distance of about 20m. A sensing terminal is installed on the mobile phone. When the monitoring personnel's mobile phone enters the 20m radius, it can receive the infrared signal emitted by the distance sensor and the mobile phone will emit a prompt sound to help the field staff quickly locate the monitoring equipment. At the same time, the stepper motor 610 is started by the controller, which drives the first gear 611 on its output end to rotate. Since the gear ring 612 is rotatably connected to the annular guide rail 20 through the bearing 21, the first gear 611 and the gear ring 612 are meshed. The cutter 60 is fixedly connected to the top of the gear ring 612 through the plug rod 600, which drives the cutter 60 to rotate and perform annular cutting on the vegetation covering the equipment, such as weeds, to provide avoidance space for the high-definition camera 4 that is about to rise.

[0075] While the gear ring 612 rotates and drives the cutter 60 to perform ring cutting on the vegetation, the gear ring 612 is meshed with the second gear 500. The second gear 500 and the first bevel gear 501 are both fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The second bevel gear 502 is meshed with the first bevel gear 501. The second bevel gear 502 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 503, thereby driving the lead screw 503 to rotate. The first bevel gear 501 is designed to be larger than the second bevel gear 502 in order to ensure that the lead screw 503 rotates more times, so that the sliding stroke of the two slide rods 511 can be larger.

[0076] When the lead screw 503 rotates, it is threadedly connected to the slider 510. The slider 510 is fixedly connected to one of the slide rods 511 near the outer casing 2. Each slide rod 511 is inserted into two slide grooves 514 of the same height. The end of each first connecting rod 513 away from the positioning rod 512 is hinged to a slide rod 511. Each positioning rod 512 is fixedly connected to the end of a support plate 52 away from the slide rod 511. The middle of every two first connecting rods 513 on the same side is hinged, which causes the two slide rods 511 to slide from left to right in the two slide grooves 514 and drive the four first connecting rods 513 to unfold. This further drives the support plate 52 above and the monitoring equipment on top to rise synchronously, thus extending out from the space after the ring cut. This allows monitoring personnel to quickly observe the specific location of the equipment and quickly locate it, which can effectively reduce the working time of field workers and improve work efficiency.

[0077] The three protective shells 23 are used to cover the first gear 611, the second gear 500, the first bevel gear 501 and the second bevel gear respectively to prevent rainwater corrosion.

[0078] Example 2: To prevent the output of the infrared ranging sensor 3 from being blocked by vegetation, refer to... Figure 8As shown, a limiting plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the outer casing 2, and a support block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the limiting plate. A reversible motor 7 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the support block, and a drive gear 70 is fixedly installed on its output end. A hinge shaft is provided at one bottom end of the limiting plate, and a driven gear 71 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the hinge shaft. The drive gear 70 and the driven gear 71 are meshed and connected, and the drive gear 70 is smaller than the driven gear 71. The reversible motor 7 is electrically connected to the controller. When a signal is sent to the controller, the controller starts the reversible motor 7, thereby rotating its output end. Since its output end is fixedly connected to the drive gear 70, and the driven gear 71 is rotatably connected to the limiting plate through the hinge shaft, the drive gear 70 and the driven gear 71 are meshed and connected, and the drive gear 70 is smaller than the driven gear 71. The wheel 70 is smaller than the driven gear 71, thus driving the hinge shaft to rotate slowly. In addition, each rotating rod 72 is fixedly connected to a sleeve 73, and several folding blades 74 are fixedly designed on the outer wall of each sleeve 73. Each rotating wheel 75 is fixedly connected to the top of a rotating rod 72. The two rotating wheels 75 are respectively hinged to the two ends of the second connecting rod 76. The bottom end of one of the rotating rods 72 is fixedly connected to the top end of the hinge shaft. Thus, the two sleeves 73 drive the several folding blades 74 to swing back and forth, cutting off the vegetation blocking the output end of the infrared ranging sensor 3. In this way, when the monitoring personnel are looking for the equipment, it will not affect the infrared signal emitted by the infrared ranging sensor 3, which is conducive to quickly locating the equipment and further improving the positioning effect.

[0079] Reference Figure 8 As shown, the top two ends of the limiting plate are provided with rotating rods 72. Each rotating rod 72 has a sleeve 73 fixed on its outer wall. Several folding blades 74 are fixed on the outer wall of the sleeve 73. Each rotating rod 72 has a rotating wheel 75 fixed on its top. A second connecting rod 76 is hinged between two rotating wheels 75. The bottom end of one of the rotating rods 72 is fixedly connected to the top end of the hinge shaft. A proximity sensor 77 is fixedly provided next to the infrared ranging sensor 3. The proximity sensor 77 is electrically connected to the controller. Since the monitoring equipment is usually placed near vegetation, it has a certain shielding effect to prevent animals from finding or trampling it. As the placement time increases, the vegetation will grow. The growing vegetation will block the output end of the infrared ranging sensor 3, which will affect the infrared emission and cause failure. Therefore, a proximity sensor 77 is designed next to the infrared ranging sensor 3. When the proximity sensor 77 senses that the vegetation has grown to a height sufficient to block the output end of the infrared ranging sensor 3, it sends this signal to the controller.

[0080] Reference Figure 6As shown, a protective cover 78 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the housing 2. The outer wall of the protective cover 78 is provided with an emission slot 79. The bottom of the protective cover 78 is provided with a water leakage slot 790. The protective cover 78 is used to protect the proximity sensor 77 and the infrared ranging sensor 3, which plays a protective role and helps to extend the service life of the two. The water leakage slot 790 facilitates the rapid drainage of rainwater into the protective cover 78. The emission slot 79 provides a channel for the infrared ranging sensor 3 to emit infrared rays.

7. A method for using a convenient and rapid field monitoring device according to any one of claims 1-6, comprising the following steps: S1: Equipment Installation: Four ground nails (1) are inserted into the ground to position the device and prevent it from tipping over due to animal collision. The limiting piece (10) has a limiting effect to prevent the four ground nails (1) from being inserted too deeply and difficult to pull out. Each ground nail (1) is designed as a conical structure to ensure that the insertion plate is convenient and to improve the ease of installation of the device. S2: Clearing of cover vegetation: The infrared ranging sensor (3) can radiate a distance of 20m. The sensing terminal is installed on the mobile phone. When the mobile phone of the monitoring personnel enters the 20m radius, it can receive the infrared signal emitted by the distance sensor and the mobile phone will emit a prompt sound to help the field staff to quickly locate the monitoring equipment. At the same time, the stepper motor (610) is started by the controller, which drives the first gear (611) on its output end to rotate. Since the gear ring (612) is connected to the ring rail (20) through the bearing (21), the first gear (611) is meshed with the gear ring (612). The cutter (60) is fixedly connected to the top of the gear ring (612) through the plug rod (600), which drives the cutter (60) to rotate and cut the vegetation covering the equipment in a ring, providing a clearance space for the high-definition camera (4) that is about to rise.

The second bevel gear (502) is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw (503), thereby driving the lead screw (503) to rotate. The first bevel gear (501) is designed to be larger than the second bevel gear (502) in order to ensure that the lead screw (503) rotates more times, so that the sliding stroke of the two slide rods (511) is larger. When the lead screw (503) rotates, it is threadedly connected to the slider (510). The slider (510) is fixedly connected to one of the slide rods (511) near the outer shell (2).
