[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figure 1The active animal monitoring device shown includes a frame 100, an animal detector 200, a radar device 300 and an alarm device 400. The animal detector 200 is connected to the frame 100. The animal detector 200 is used to photograph and monitor animals. The radar is arranged on the frame 100. The radar device 300 is electrically connected to the animal detector 200. The alarm device 400 is electrically connected to the radar device 300. The animal detector 200 and the radar device 300 can be fixed to the frame 100 by means of detachable connection such as bolts, bayonet, magnetic attraction, etc. The animal detector 200 can photograph and record animals and store the photographed images, so that the staff can determine the whereabouts of active animals through the images it photographs, and then make targeted and effective protection. When the radar device 300 detects the presence of active animals, it will immediately send a signal to the animal detector 200, which will then take a photo of the active animals. After the photo recording is completed, the alarm device 400 will sound an alarm through sound, light, etc. to scare away the active animals and prevent the active animals from causing hidden dangers to items within the monitoring range.

[0028] To summarize, the active animal monitoring device monitors active animals in real time through the radar device 300. When an active animal enters the monitoring range of the radar device 300, the animal detector 200 will record the active animal, and the alarm device 400 will also drive the animal away, thereby protecting the items within the monitoring range. At the same time, the staff can also find the intrusion location of the active animal through the data recorded by the animal detector 200, so that the staff can take protective blocking measures on the intrusion point.

[0029] In actual use, since shooting video data consumes a lot of power, when the radar device 300 does not detect any active animals, the animal detector 200 is in a dormant state to reduce energy consumption. Only when the radar device 300 detects an active animal, the radar device 300 will send a signal to activate the animal detector 200 to shoot the active animal.

[0030] The following will introduce the technical details of each component one by one.

[0031] In some embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the animal detector 200 includes a shooting module 21, a storage module 22 and a control module 23. The control module 23 is electrically connected to the shooting module 21 and the storage module 22, and the control module 23 is electrically connected to the radar device 300. When the radar device 300 detects the presence of an active animal, the radar device 300 transmits a signal to the control module 23. The control module 23 controls the shooting module 21 to shoot the active animal. The shooting module 21 stores the captured images in the storage module 22. When the staff wants to check the whereabouts of the animal, the data in the storage module 22 can be exported, and then the invasion point of the active animal can be determined, and effective blocking and protection can be made.

[0032] It is understandable that the above-mentioned shooting module 21 has an infrared night vision shooting function, which can shoot active animals in a dark environment, thereby realizing uninterrupted and effective monitoring 24 hours a day. The above-mentioned storage module 22 is provided with a memory card, and the storage module 22 stores data into the memory card, so that the staff can carry and save the shooting data of the animal detector 200.

[0033] In other embodiments, the animal detector 200 also includes a display screen, which is electrically connected to the control module 23. The display screen can display the data inside the storage module 22. In this way, when the staff wants to check the whereabouts of active animals, there is no need to export the data inside the storage module 22, but can directly view it through the display screen, which is convenient and quick.

[0034] In other embodiments, the animal detector 200 further includes a wireless transceiver module, which is electrically connected to the control module 23. The wireless transceiver module can send the data recorded by the shooting module 21 to a mobile phone or other device installed with corresponding software via wireless signals, so that the staff can remotely view the shooting data of the animal detector 200. In addition, the wireless transceiver module can also send alarm information to a mobile phone or other device installed with corresponding software via wireless signals, so that the staff can timely understand the appearance time of active animals, and then make effective response plans.

[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the alarm device 400 includes a voice module 41 and an ultrasonic module 42, and both the voice module 41 and the ultrasonic module 42 are electrically connected to the control module 23. The voice module 41 can be a speaker that can emit a variety of sounds to intimidate and drive away active animals; the ultrasonic module 42 can be an ultrasonic transmitter that can emit ultrasonic waves to drive away active animals and avoid interfering with human life. When there are humans living nearby, the alarm device 400 can drive away active animals by emitting ultrasonic waves, which humans cannot hear, but active animals can hear. Therefore, through the above design, it is possible to drive away active animals while avoiding interfering with humans living nearby.

[0036] In other embodiments, the animal detector 200 is provided with an animal identification module, the voice module 41 includes various types of recordings, and the animal identification module is electrically connected to the control module 23; the animal identification module can identify the animal photographed by the photographing module 21, and then control the voice module 41 to issue a corresponding driving recording through the control module 23, so that the active animal monitoring device can achieve a very good driving effect on different animals, for example:

[0037] When a mouse enters the monitoring range of the radar device 300 and is photographed and recorded by the camera module 21, the animal recognition module can identify the mouse, and then the voice module 41 emits a cat's cry to scare the mouse. When a sparrow enters the monitoring range of the radar device 300 and is photographed and recorded by the camera module 21, the animal recognition module can identify the sparrow, and then the voice module 41 emits an eagle's cry to drive the sparrow away.

[0038] By playing the recordings of the natural enemies of the driven animals, the active animal monitoring device can achieve a very good driving effect on different animals.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the frame 100 includes a fixing plate 11, a support member 12 and a base 13, the support member 12 is respectively connected to the fixing plate 11 and the base 13, and the animal detector 200 and the radar device 300 are respectively arranged on the front and back of the fixing plate 11. The animal detector 200 and the radar device 300 can be fixed on the front and back of the fixing plate 11 by bolts, buckles, etc., which can make the overall structure of the mobile animal monitoring device more compact, occupy less space, and facilitate the installation and storage of the mobile animal monitoring device.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the support member 12, the fixing plate 11 and the base 13 are arranged to form an assembly space, the radar is arranged in the assembly space, and the support member 12 is arranged around the periphery of the radar device 300. It can be understood that the radar device 300 is a relatively sophisticated device, and the support member 12 is arranged around the periphery of the radar device 300 to protect the radar device 300.

[0041] In other embodiments, a first pan-tilt platform is provided between the radar device 300 and the fixing plate 11 , and the radar device 300 can be rotated by the first pan-tilt platform, which is beneficial to improving the detection effect of the radar device 300 .

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an adjustment frame 14 is provided between the animal detector 200 and the fixing plate 11, and the animal detector 200 is fixed on the adjustment frame 14, and the adjustment frame 14 is used to adjust the shooting angle of the animal detector 200. The adjustment member is a multi-axis deflection mechanism. When the animal detector 200 is fixed on the adjustment member, the adjustment member can deflect the angle of the animal detector 200, and then adjust the shooting angle of the animal detector 200 according to the on-site situation to achieve the best recording effect, which is conducive to better recording the whereabouts of the animal.

[0043] In other embodiments, the active animal monitoring device also includes a second pan-tilt head, and the animal detector 200 is arranged on the second pan-tilt head. The animal detector 200 can be rotated through the second pan-tilt head when monitoring and photographing animals. The second pan-tilt head is electrically connected to the animal detector 200. The second pan-tilt head can be rotated to enable the animal detector 200 to track and photograph active animals, so that the whereabouts of active animals can be better photographed.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the frame 100 further includes an inclined support frame 15, which is connected to the base 13 and the support member 12, and one end of the inclined support frame 15 away from the base 13 is used to contact the placement plane to stabilize the base 13 and the support member 12. In actual use, the inclined support frame 15 can support the active animal monitoring device from the side, so that the active animal monitoring device will not easily tip over due to the touch of the animal during the monitoring process, thereby protecting the active animal monitoring device.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the above-mentioned diagonal support frame 15 is rotatably connected with the base 13 or the support member 12, and the diagonal support frame 15 can be rotated from the fitted state to the unfolded state; wherein, when the diagonal support frame 15 is in the fitted state, the diagonal support frame 15 fits with the base 13 or the support member 12. When the active animal monitoring device needs to be stored, the diagonal support frame 15 will have a great impact on the external contour of the active animal monitoring device, resulting in a larger space occupied by the active animal monitoring device, which is very unfavorable for storage; in addition, the protruding diagonal support frame 15 is also easy to collide with other items during storage, which is easy to cause damage to the diagonal support frame 15 and other items; through the above-mentioned rotation design, when storing the active animal monitoring device, the diagonal support frame 15 can be rotated to a state of mutual fit with the base 13 and the support member 12, thereby greatly reducing the space occupied by the active animal monitoring device during storage, and facilitating the storage of the active animal monitoring device.

[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 , the active animal monitoring device includes a plurality of animal detectors 200, which are arranged in a circle to detect different directions. The plurality of animal detectors 200 can monitor active animals from multiple directions, greatly reducing the monitoring blind spots of the active animal monitoring device, thereby facilitating better recording of the whereabouts of active animals.

[0047] The present application provides an animal whereabouts detection method, which uses the above-mentioned active animal monitoring device, and the animal whereabouts detection method includes:

[0048] The radar device 300 is used to detect whether there is an animal. When the radar device 300 detects the presence of an animal, the radar device 300 sends an activation signal to the control module 23. After the control module 23 receives the activation signal, the control module 23 activates the animal detector 200 to shoot and record the external environment; when the radar device 300 does not detect an animal, the animal detector 200 is in a sleep state to reduce energy consumption.
