[0027] An observation box body a6 is provided at the front side of the fish culvert 1;

[0028] A laminated tempered glass 16 is provided between the fish culvert box 1 and the observation box body a6 so that the interior of the fish culvert box 1 can be observed through the laminated tempered glass 16;

[0029] The outer side of the laminated tempered glass 16 is sleeved with a glass cover plate 4, the front end of the observation box body a6 is provided with an observation box body b7, the front end of the observation box body b7 is provided with a fixing plate 9 for the installation of an observation camera, the camera is installed between the fixing plate 9 and the observation box body b7, and then the whole is submerged underwater, the fish culvert box 1 and the water tank are connected, when the fish swim through the fish culvert box 1, the camera can accurately capture the flow speed and direction of the fish in the fish culvert box 1, so as to shoot, and the impact data after shooting will be transmitted to the terminal for analysis of the fish activity;

[0030] The rear end of the observation box body a6 and near the left and right sides are respectively provided with motor guide rails a11 and motor guide rails b12, and a motor guide rail c13 is provided between the front end outer walls of the motor guide rails a11 and the motor guide rails b12. The motor guide rails a11, the motor guide rails b12 and the motor guide rails c13 are electrically connected to the external power supply, and a window cleaner 10 is provided on the right side of the motor guide rail c13. A window cleaner 15 is provided on the right side of the window cleaner 10 and at the right end of the glass cover plate 4 to brush off the algae attached to the surface of the glass cover plate 4. The automatic operation level is pre-installed between the observation box body a6, and the motor guide c13 is controlled by the program to move on the motor guide a11 and the motor guide b12. When the motor guide c13 moves up and down, it will drive the inner window cleaner 10 and the outer window cleaner 15 to move up and down synchronously, and brush off the algae, debris and fog on the surface of the glass cover 4. The motor guide c13 can drive the inner window cleaner 10 and the outer window cleaner 15 to move horizontally to the left and right, so that the algae attached to the glass cover 4 can be brushed off more comprehensively for cleaning.

[0031] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the window cleaner inner 10 and the window cleaner outer 15 are magnetically adsorbed by strong magnets, so that when the motor guide c13 drives the window cleaner inner 10 to move, it can simultaneously drive the window cleaner outer 15 to move, so as to avoid the window cleaner outer 15 from loosening and falling off. A driver 17 is provided at the right end of the motor guide a11, the motor guide b12 and the motor guide c13, and a driving rod 18 is provided between the right end of the driver 17 and the window cleaner inner 10 to drive the window cleaner inner 10 to move.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the four corners of the upper outer wall of the fish culvert 1 are provided with eyelet holes 2 for installation of eyelets. By installing eyelets in the eyelet holes 2, the whole is moved underwater for placement and use. The interior of the glass cover plate 4 is provided with a glass card slot 5 for fixing the laminated tempered glass 16, so that the laminated tempered glass 16 can fit the interior of the glass cover plate 4 during installation, avoiding the occurrence of gaps that cause blurring when the camera observes fish.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of bolt holes 14 are provided at the front end of the fixing plate 9 for fixing the fixing plate 9 on the observation box body b7, so as to be fixedly connected with other external devices by bolts passing through the bolt holes 14. A plurality of wire outlet holes 8 are provided on the right side of the observation box body b7 for introducing the power lines and signal lines of the camera and the motor guides a11, the motor guides b12 and the motor guides c13.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the four sides of the inner side of the fish culvert 1 are equipped with fill light panels and light strips to illuminate the laminated tempered glass 16 to form reflections to illuminate the fish, and use the phototaxis of the fish to guide the fish through the fish culvert 1 to avoid the fish being unable to safely pass through the observation device due to the narrowing of the fish passage. The light is refracted through the glass into the fish culvert 1 to illuminate the fish, improving the camera recognition accuracy. The fish culvert 1, the observation box body a6 and the observation box body b7 are all treated with sound-absorbing textures to reduce the echo interference of the ultrasonic detector and reduce the stimulation of the ultrasonic wave to the fish. .

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the observation box body a6, the glass cover plate 4 and the glass slot 5 are fixedly connected by bolts, which increases the tightness of the connection between the observation box body a6, the glass cover plate 4 and the glass slot 5 and reduces the gap for water seepage. The observation box body a6, the glass cover plate 4 and the glass slot 5 and the glass cover plate 4 and the laminated tempered glass 16 are waterproofed with filling sealant to prevent water from entering through the gap between the observation box body a6, the glass cover plate 4 and the glass slot 5, causing water damage to the internal electronic components.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rubber sealing strip is installed between the observation box body b7 and the fixed plate 9, and sealant is filled in for waterproofing, thereby increasing the waterproof performance between the observation box body b7 and the fixed plate 9 to prevent water from seeping into the camera and causing damage to the camera. A card slot is provided inside the fixed plate 9 to fix the camera, so that the fixed position of the camera can accurately observe the situation of the fish inside the fish culvert 1 and take pictures.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
