[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] See also Figure 1 A monitoring device for investigating grassland biodiversity includes: a base 1, a fixing mechanism 5 is installed on the side wall of the base 1, the fixing mechanism 5 includes a support block, a hole is opened on the top of the support block, a positioning column is inserted into the hole, and the base 1 can be fixed on the grassland by inserting the positioning column into the soil of the grassland; a pillar 2 is installed on the top wall of the base 1, a placement platform 3 is installed on the top of the pillar 2, and a monitoring device 4 (such as a camera) is provided on the top of the placement platform 3; when the monitoring device is in use, the base 1 is placed on the grassland, and then the fixing mechanism 5 is inserted into the soil to fix the base 1, so that the monitoring device is installed on the grassland, and the monitoring device 4 is used to monitor the grassland.

[0024] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 A mounting sleeve 6 is provided on the sliding sleeve of the pillar 2, a support plate 7 is installed on the mounting sleeve 6, a spring member is installed between the base 1 and the support plate 7, a touch switch is installed on the top of the base 1, and the touch switch is located below the support plate 7. An alarm 17 (which can be an audible and visual alarm) is provided on the monitoring device 4, and the touch switch is electrically connected to the power supply of the alarm 17 through a wire.

[0025] In this embodiment, as a further optimization solution, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A baffle 8 is provided on the side wall of the support plate 7 to block the gap between the base 1 and the support plate 7.

[0026] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2A driving mechanism 9 (such as an electric telescopic rod) is provided on the top of the support plate 7. The power supply of the driving mechanism 9 is connected to the touch switch through a wire, and a push plate 10 is installed on the moving end of the driving mechanism 9.

[0027] It should be noted that when an animal climbs onto the support plate 7 (mainly for snakes), the support plate 7 is pressed down and the touch switch is pressed, so that the alarm 17 is energized and an alarm is sounded to drive away the animals on the support plate 7; and after the touch switch is pressed, the alarm 17 will be energized to work, so as to remind the staff so that the staff can understand the situation in advance when approaching the monitoring device to avoid being attacked by snakes and causing safety hazards; when the touch switch is pressed, the driving mechanism 9 is also energized to work, driving the push plate 10 to move above the support plate 7, so as to push the animals staying on the support plate 7, thereby achieving a driving effect.

[0028] In this embodiment, as a further optimization solution, please refer to Figure 5 The driving mechanism 9 includes a kit 91, which is mounted on the top of the support plate 7, a moving rod 92 is slidably inserted in the kit 91, a return spring is installed between the kit 91 and the moving rod 92, and the outer end of the moving rod 92 is connected to the push plate 10; a magnetic block 94 is provided on the inner end of the moving rod 92, and an electromagnet 93 is provided in the kit 91. The power supply of the electromagnet 93 is connected to the touch switch through a wire. The magnetic poles of the electromagnet 93 and the magnetic block 94 on the side close to each other are the same, and a repulsive force is generated between the two; a first conductive sheet 95 is provided on the side wall of the moving rod 92, and a second conductive sheet 96 is provided on the inner side wall of the kit 91, which is located on the moving path of the first conductive sheet 95. The first conductive sheet 95 and the second conductive sheet 96 are electrically connected to the power supply of the electromagnet 93; when the touch switch is pressed When the driving mechanism 9 is powered on, the electromagnet 93 of the driving mechanism 9 is powered on to generate a magnetic force, which repels the magnetic block 94 and is used to push the moving rod 92 to move outward; in the process of moving the moving rod 92 moving, the first conductive piece 95 and the second conductive piece 96 will move closer to each other. When the two are in contact, the electromagnet 93 will be powered off, and the magnetic force generated by it will disappear. The thrust exerted on the moving rod 92 will disappear. Under the action of the reset spring, the moving rod 92 moves toward the inside of the kit 91 until the first conductive piece 95 and the second conductive piece 96 are no longer in contact. The electromagnet 93 is then powered on again to generate a magnetic force to push the moving rod 92 outward, and so on and so forth, so that the moving rod 92 and the push plate 10 move back and forth, thereby increasing the effect of driving away animals and reducing the probability of animals staying on the support plate 7.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] As an optimized solution, see Figure 3A mounting hole 11 is provided on the top wall of the pillar 2, and a telescopic member 13 (such as an electric telescopic rod) is installed in the mounting hole 11. A support rod 14 is installed on the movable end of the telescopic member 13. The top of the support rod 14 is connected to the placement platform 3, and the power supply of the telescopic member 13 is connected to the touch switch through a wire; when the touch switch is pressed by the support plate 7, the telescopic member 13 is energized to make the support rod 14 move up together with the placement platform 3, so as to increase the height of the placement platform 3 and the monitoring equipment 4, prevent animals from climbing to the monitoring equipment 4, and avoid affecting the monitoring equipment 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, as a further optimization solution, please refer to Figure 3 A partition 12 is provided in the mounting hole 11, and the partition 12 divides the inner cavity of the mounting hole 11 into two cavities, an upper cavity and an lower cavity. The two cavities are isolated from each other, and the upper cavity is filled with lubricating oil. The support rod 14 is in the upper cavity, and the movable end of the telescopic member 13 passes through the partition 12 and is connected to the support rod 14 (the movable end of the telescopic member 13 and the partition 12 are sealed); when the telescopic member 13 moves upward with the support rod 14, the support rod 14 moves out of the upper cavity. Therefore, after the support rod 14 moves upward, the surface of the support rod 14 will be covered with lubricating oil, which is used to prevent animals from climbing onto the placement platform 3 and avoid affecting the monitoring equipment 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, as a further optimization solution, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top of the support rod 14 is provided with a sponge block 15, and the outer wall of the support rod 14 is slidably provided with a pressing piece 16, which is located above the sponge block 15; wherein the pressing piece 16 includes a mounting ring 161 and an extrusion ring 162, wherein the mounting ring 161 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the support rod 14, and the mounting ring 161 is in contact with the top of the pillar 2, and the extrusion ring 162 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting ring 161, and the diameter of the extrusion ring 162 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting ring 161, and is located inside the upper cavity; after the support rod 14 moves up, the mounting ring 161 is not in contact with the top of the pillar 2, and the restriction of the mounting ring 161 disappears. Therefore, the mounting ring 161 and the extrusion ring 162 will move downward under the action of gravity, so that the extrusion ring 162 contacts the sponge block 15 and squeezes it, squeezing the lubricating oil in the sponge block 15 and coating the side wall of the support rod 14, further reducing the probability of animals climbing onto the support rod 14 and preventing animals from climbing.

[0033] In this embodiment, as a further optimization solution, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diameter of the support rod 14 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole 11, so that the lubricating oil flowing down the side wall of the support rod 14 can enter the interior of the mounting hole 11; the diameter of the sponge block 15 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole 11, so that the sponge block 15 can enter the interior of the mounting hole 11.

[0034] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
