[0026] The following will describe the implementation of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiment diagram of the present invention.

[0027] The present invention mainly relies on the Internet of Things and machine vision analysis technology.

Among them, the insect catching module is responsible for the trapping of various types of insects, specimen preparation and information collection functions; the data monitoring module is responsible for forest image information, meteorological information collection, solar power generation panel installation and expansion equipment installation functions; the control and energy management module is responsible for the equipment operation control of other modules under the system, data collection and processing of various sensors, edge computing, communication management, solar power generation system management and power switching. The cloud platform is responsible for visual analysis, data display and real-time video display.

[0028] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a forest ecological management remote monitoring system 100 is provided, including an insect catching module 11, a data monitoring module 13, a control and energy management module 15 and a cloud platform 17. The insect catching module 11 is used to trap various types of insects, make insect specimens, collect specimen images and collect insect specimens. The data monitoring module 13 is used to collect forest images, meteorological information, solar panel installation and expansion equipment installation. The control and energy management module 15 is used to control the insect catching module 11 and the data monitoring module 13 respectively, and synchronize the information collected to the cloud platform 17. The cloud platform 17 is used to perform visual analysis, data display and real-time video screen display according to the information synchronized by the control and energy management module 15.

[0029] The above-mentioned forest ecological management remote monitoring system 100 is designed to be composed of an insect trapping module 11, a data monitoring module 13, a control and energy management module 15 and a cloud platform 174 modules. The insect trapping module 11 is responsible for trapping various types of insects, specimen preparation and information collection functions; the data monitoring module 13 is responsible for forest image information, meteorological information collection, solar panel installation and expansion equipment installation functions; the control and energy management module 15 is responsible for the equipment operation control of other modules under the system, data collection and processing of various sensors, edge computing, communication management, solar power generation system management and power switching. The cloud platform 17 is responsible for visual analysis, data display and real-time video display, etc., and the comprehensive use efficiency of the monitoring system is greatly improved.

[0030] The system runs automatically around the clock without the need for human supervision. The system data viewing and equipment control operations can be completed through the client of the cloud platform 17. The cloud platform 17 will display the monitoring screen in the system installation area in real time, and according to the existing set algorithm model (such as the forest disease prediction model, forest tree growth model or forest fire monitoring model in this field), it will display the current pest information, formulate tree growth information, meteorological information and fire monitoring conditions, output various types of visual chart results, and record the historical data of the entire life cycle of the system.

[0031] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the insect catching module 11 includes a top cover 111, an insect attracting component 113 and a base 115. The base 115 includes an insect collecting tray, a specimen making module, a specimen image acquisition module and a specimen collecting module. The insect attracting component 113 is installed between the top cover 111 and the base 115, and the operation of the insect attracting component 113 and the base 115 is controlled by the control and energy management module 15. The cross section of the top cover 111 is larger than the top cross section of the base 115. The insect collecting tray is connected to the specimen making module through a circular pipe, the specimen making module is connected to the specimen image acquisition module through an inclined circular pipe, and the specimen image acquisition module is connected to the specimen collecting module through an inclined circular pipe. The insect collecting tray is used to collect living insects, the specimen making module is used to make living insects into insect specimens, the specimen image acquisition module is used to collect specimen images of insect specimens, and the specimen collecting module is used to collect insect specimens.

[0032] It can be understood that the equipment body of the insect catching module 11 is an insect luring and catching device, which can be divided into three major parts, namely, a top cover 111, an insect luring component 113 and a base 115. Among them, the base 115 includes four parts, namely, an insect collecting plate for collecting living insects, a specimen making module for making living insects as insect specimens, a specimen image acquisition module for taking specimen images, and a specimen collection module for collecting insect specimens. These structural parts can be combined and installed according to the processing needs of insect collection, specimen making, specimen photography and specimen collection, according to appropriate spatial positions and structural connection relationships, as long as the interference of the external environment with the above-mentioned specimen processing process can be avoided.

[0033] Optionally, the insect attracting component 113 may be an insect attracting lamp or a drug attracting dish in the form of a drug preparation to achieve the function of attracting the insects that the system currently needs to trap.

[0034] In one embodiment, Figure 2 The main structure of the insect catching module 11 is a stainless steel structure, the insect attracting component 113 is an ultraviolet insect attracting lamp, and the base 115 is a regular trapezoidal base and is provided with an extension support for inserting into the ground.

[0035] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the main structure material of the insect trap module 11 can be stainless steel to meet the durability requirements under the humidity and temperature changes in the forest environment and the acidity and alkalinity of animal and plant secretions. The top cover 111 can be a conical top cover with a cross section exceeding the top diameter of the base 115 by a set size (for example, 20 cm), which can prevent rainwater and foreign objects from falling into the insect collection plate of the base 115, while minimizing the blocking of the ultraviolet light of the insect trap lamp or protecting the loss of drug preparations in the drug trap dish.

[0036] The insect trap lamp can use a continuous ultraviolet light source, including but not limited to xenon, LED and Nixie tube, etc., and can be further equipped with an adjustable grating, and the system control mainboard of the control and energy management module 15 uses a set dimming program to adjust the wavelength of ultraviolet light to attract different types of insects. For example, the dimming program can be configured in advance according to the light wavelengths preferred by different types of insects, so that when the system runs the dimming program, the insect trap lamp is controlled to work at the corresponding light wavelength, thereby achieving accurate trapping of specific types of insects.

[0037] The base 115 of the insect catching module 11 can be designed as a regular trapezoidal base, and the base 115 is provided with a support extending downward (with the ground plane as a reference), and the extended support is inserted into the ground to maintain the stability of the insect catching module 11 in the case of high-intensity wind, plant tipping, and animal collision. An insect collection plate is provided on the base 115, and the insect collection plate can be designed as a 50° circular funnel, and the surface is finely ground to improve the insect collection efficiency.

[0038] In one embodiment, the specimen preparation module includes a ceramic heating element, an electromagnetic valve and a pressure-sensitive element. The ceramic heating element is used to heat the collected living insects and complete the preparation of insect specimens. The electromagnetic valve intercepts or releases the collected insect specimens, and the pressure-sensitive element is used to detect the total weight of the collected insects in real time. The specimen image acquisition module includes a background base plate, a high-definition camera, a fill light and a rotating robotic arm. The background base plate is used to collect insect specimens, the high-definition camera is used to photograph insect specimens and obtain specimen images, the fill light is used to fill light for the insect specimens, and the rotating robotic arm is used to move the insect specimens on the background base plate to the specimen collection module. The specimen collection module includes a collection box moving track and multiple specimen collection boxes. The collection box moving track is used to mount and move each specimen collection box. Each specimen collection box is used to collect different insect specimens. Figure 2 It is not shown in the figure, and those skilled in the art can combine and install the above-mentioned components according to appropriate spatial positions and structural connection relationships according to actual use needs.

[0039] It can be understood that the specimen making module is connected to the insect collection plate through a circular pipe. The specimen making module includes a ceramic heating element, an electromagnetic valve and a pressure-sensitive element. The operation of the ceramic heating element is controlled by the system control mainboard to heat the living insects collected thereon to cause the loss of water in their bodies, thereby completing the insect specimen making. The electromagnetic valve is used to intercept or release the collected insect specimens under the control of the system control mainboard, and the pressure-sensitive element is used to detect the total weight of the collected insects in real time.

[0040] The specimen image acquisition module can be connected to the specimen preparation module (such as the specimen push-out port of the ceramic heating element) through an inclined circular tube with a set angle (for example, 45°). The specimen image acquisition module is composed of a background base plate, a high-definition camera, a fill light, and a rotating robotic arm, which are deployed in corresponding spatial positions according to shooting needs. When the insect specimen slides onto the background base plate through the inclined circular tube, the system control mainboard starts the high-definition camera and the fill light according to the set program to first complete the specimen image acquisition of the insect specimen, and then controls the rotating robotic arm to push the insect specimen on the background base plate into the specimen collection module.

[0041] The specimen collection module can be connected to the background bottom plate or the specimen push-out channel of the specimen image acquisition module by setting an angle (e.g., 45°, to take into account the optimal effect of space position occupancy and specimen sliding efficiency) of the inclined circular tube. The specimen collection module can be composed of multiple specimen collection boxes and a collection box moving track. Each specimen collection box is placed on the base 115 of the collection box moving track. When receiving insect specimens, the opening of each specimen collection box can be driven by the collection box moving track to face the specimen outlet of the inclined circular tube in turn. In actual use, the system control mainboard controls the collection box moving track to move the specimen collection box according to the set program to deliver different insect specimens to the corresponding different specimen collection boxes.

[0042] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the data monitoring module 13 includes a column 131, an electric equipment bracket 133, a lightning protection system 135 and a cable system. The column 131 is used to be installed on the ground, the electric equipment bracket 133 is movably installed on the column 131, and the lightning protection system 135 and the cable system are installed on the column 131. The electric equipment bracket 133 is used to install the solar power generation panel 101 and various extended devices, and the cable system is used to provide cables and cable storage environments for connecting the solar power generation panel 101 and various extended devices to the control and energy management module 15; each extended device includes a tree monitoring camera, a fire monitoring camera, a regional monitoring camera, a meteorological instrument and a communication antenna.

[0043] It can be understood that the structural body of the data monitoring module 13 can be a stainless steel hollow cone column 131, the overall height of the structural body above the ground can be selected according to the actual monitoring needs (for example, but not limited to 20 meters to 30 meters), the structural body can extend to a set depth underground (for example, but not limited to 1 meter to 1.5 meters), the top of the structural body can be sealed with an insulating solid hemisphere, and the bottom of the structural body below the ground can be sealed with cement grouting. The data monitoring module 13 includes a structural body, an electric equipment bracket 133, a lightning protection system 135 and a cable system.

[0044] Among them, the column 131 as the main body of the structure can adopt a micro-inclination design, and one side of its surface can be provided with a motion guide component, such as a fixed rack, for guiding other components thereon to move in the up and down directions and / or radial directions of the column 131 on the surface of the column 131. The top hemisphere of the column 131 is used to provide one or more communication antenna installation positions for installing various types of communication antennas of the control and energy management module 15. The electric device bracket 133 can adopt a bracket structure of a circular steel pipe, the interior of which may include a moving mechanism composed of a motor, a gear and a support pulley in accordance with the mechanical drive requirements. The system control motherboard controls the motor to drive the gear according to the set program, and cooperates with the operation of the support pulley to realize the vertical movement of the electric device bracket 133 as a whole on the column 131. Various types of sensor brackets are provided on the outside of the bracket structure to provide the function of fixing various sensors thereon, for example, including but not limited to solar panel brackets, camera brackets and meteorological instrument brackets. Expansion equipment such as various types of cameras (such as Figure 2 Camera C), meteorological instrument and communication antenna, etc.

[0045] The lightning protection system 135 may include a lightning rod (lightning rod), a conductive wire and a discharge net, wherein the lightning rod (lightning rod) is installed on the top of the top hemisphere of the column 131, the conductive wire is a metal hard wire installed downward along the mid-vertical line of the column 131, and the discharge net is installed underground at a set distance (e.g., 10 meters) away from the column 131 and connected to the conductive wire. The cable system is installed beside the motion guide component of the column 131, and a wire box can be used to provide a storage environment for the power lines and communication lines of the electric equipment bracket 133 and various sensors. The cable system can use a magnetic cable system, for example, composed of an insulated crawler wire box and a strong magnet.

[0046] In one embodiment, a motion guide component is provided on one side of the surface of the column 131, and the electric equipment bracket 133 includes a circular steel pipe, a motor, a gear and a supporting pulley. The motor, the gear and the supporting pulley are installed in the circular steel pipe and constitute a motion function component. The motion function component is structurally matched with the motion guide component, and the motion function component is used to drive the electric equipment bracket 133 to move along the motion guide component on the surface of the column 131.

[0047] It should be noted that the column 131 as the main body of the structure can also achieve the same structural effect by changing the material and shape. Regarding the shape, motion function components and motion guide components of the electric equipment bracket 133, they can be replaced by changing the shape or the type of mobile structure, such as changing the motion function component from a combination of motor + gear to a motor + friction wheel (no column rack is required, but a spiral track is used instead), pulley + manual pull wire or motor + steel cable to form a winch system. The cable system can also be replaced by soft plastic sleeves, threaded sleeves, elastic ropes or non-bundle methods to provide the same or similar mobile functions as the magnetic cable system.

[0048] In one embodiment, the control and energy management module 15 includes an electric control cabinet 151, a system control mainboard 153, a switch element and a battery 155. The system control mainboard 153, the switch element and the battery 155 are respectively installed on the installation positions provided inside the electric control cabinet 151, and the system control mainboard 153 is connected to the battery 155 through the switch element. The system control mainboard 153 is used to control the insect catching module 11 and the data monitoring module 13 respectively, and synchronize the information to the cloud platform 17 after collecting the information. The battery 155 is used to connect to the mains power supply or the solar panel 101 to power the system control mainboard 153.

[0049] It can be understood that the main structure of the control and energy management module 15 can be a stainless steel square electric control cabinet 151, which provides installation positions for the system control motherboard 153, switch elements and batteries 155. Among them, the system control motherboard 153 of the control and energy management module 15 is the core of the system, and a high-performance main control chip can be used to run an existing real-time operating system to meet the data processing requirements of various types of sensors and multi-task processing requirements. The system control motherboard 153 is equipped with a large-capacity memory and a hard disk chip to meet the long-term data storage requirements.

[0050] The system control mainboard 153 integrates a variety of communication interfaces, such as but not limited to RS232, RS485, RJ45 and CAN interfaces, and also integrates a variety of wireless communication modules, such as but not limited to Bluetooth, WiFi, loRa, zigbee, 4G and 5G communication modules. The system control mainboard 153 is also equipped with a power management unit for providing a power management circuit, a battery management circuit, an AC / DC switching circuit and a motor control unit for the solar panel 101. The structural forms of these unit circuits can adopt various existing circuit structures in the field of power management technology, as long as they can be used to provide the required management and control functions.

[0051] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the control and energy management module 15 can also be replaced by an industrial computer + solar power generation management module, a general-purpose computer (such as a laptop computer, a desktop split computer host, a server host) + a solar power generation system, etc., to provide the same or similar system control and management functions.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, when the system control mainboard 153 runs an existing specific software program, it automatically determines the current power supply situation and sets the system power mode with the power supply logic of giving priority to the AC power supply. If there is no AC power supply, it determines the power generation power of the solar panel 101 and the power of the battery 155, and sets the charge and discharge state through a pre-set charge and discharge configuration algorithm (which can be directly implemented by using an existing charge and discharge configuration algorithm according to actual power supply control needs).

[0053] The system control motherboard 153 can set the system operation mode of energy saving priority or performance priority according to the calculation result of the system power mode. Subsequently, the software program in the system control motherboard 153 will perform the self-check process of each sensor, motion device, etc. in the system and record the relevant log information. Next, the software program in the system control motherboard 153 will start the fire monitoring camera (such as camera No. 1) on the electric equipment bracket 133, scan the designated area to collect forest image information, and then through the set edge computing algorithm program (various types of existing edge computing algorithms in the field of edge computing can be used, as long as the calculation and processing function of forest image information in the system control motherboard 153 (edge) can be realized), quickly determine whether there is a fire situation in the current designated area, and save the processing results in the local storage module; then the software program in the system control motherboard 153 will check the connectivity of the wired and / or wireless network, and try to connect to the cloud platform 17. If the connection is successful, the current system information will be synchronized to the cloud platform 17; if the connection fails, the self-repair program will be executed to try to connect to the cloud platform 17 again.

[0054] Subsequently, the software program in the system control mainboard 153 adjusts the ultraviolet wavelength of the insect trapping component 113 (taking the insect trapping lamp as an example) of the insect trapping module 11 according to the default setting or the user-defined insect trapping mode to achieve the trapping function of specific insects, and then the total weight of the collected insects is detected in real time through the ceramic heating element. When the weight threshold set by the program is reached, the ceramic heating element of the specimen making module is started to heat the specimen. After detecting that the specimen making is completed (such as the pressure sensitive element detects that the weight of the insect specimen has reached the specimen weight set by the program), the software program in the system control mainboard 153 opens the electromagnetic valve of the specimen making module to allow the insect specimen to enter the background bottom plate of the specimen image acquisition module.

[0055] The software program in the system control mainboard 153 can operate the fill light and the high-definition camera to complete the insect specimen photography, and synchronize the specimen image to the cloud platform 17 for visual analysis and processing. Finally, the software program in the system control mainboard 153 can control the rotating mechanical arm to move the insect specimen into the specimen collection box, and then drive the collection box moving track to switch the next clean specimen collection box to align with the discharge port of the inclined circular tube under the background bottom plate, so as to wait for the next insect catching operation.

[0056] The software program in the system control mainboard 153 can obtain the designated tree sample image through the tree monitoring camera (such as camera 2) installed on the electric device bracket 133 according to the user's customized settings, and synchronize it to the cloud platform 17 for data processing. Then, the software program in the system control mainboard 153 can pre-process the meteorological data collected by the meteorological instrument (such as the micro meteorological monitoring module) installed on the electric device bracket 133 by setting the edge computing program, save it to the local storage module, and synchronize it to the cloud platform 17.

[0057] Then the software program in the system control mainboard 153 can start the regional monitoring camera (such as camera No. 3) installed on the electric equipment bracket 133, scan the designated monitoring area to collect regional images, and after processing by the set edge computing program, determine whether there is any intrusion in the designated monitoring area, decide whether to run the alarm function, and determine whether there is any wild animal activity in the currently designated monitoring area. If there is wild animal activity, the entire process will be recorded in high definition, and the relevant video information will be saved to the local storage module and synchronized to the cloud platform 17. Finally, the software program in the system control mainboard 153 can send all the collected data and pre-processed data in the system to the cloud platform 17 in an encrypted form through a wired or wireless network according to the data transmission method set by the default setting or the user's custom setting, and monitor the instructions issued by the cloud platform 17 in real time to perform relevant monitoring actions.

[0058] When the electric device support 133 needs to be moved, the corresponding control command can be sent to the system control mainboard 153 through the cloud platform 17 or the configured mobile client software, so that the system control mainboard 153 controls the electric device support 133 to perform upward or downward movement on the column 131, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can complete the maintenance work of each sensor installed on the electric device support 133. When it is necessary to take out the insect specimens collected in the specimen collection box, the system control mainboard 153 can open the electromagnetic valve in the insect catching module 11, take out the specimen collection box and refill the corresponding number of clean specimen collection boxes.

[0059] The forest ecological management remote monitoring system 100 provided in this specification is automatically operated around the clock, without the need for personnel on duty, and the system data viewing and equipment control and other operations can be completed through the client of the cloud platform 17. The cloud platform 17 will display the monitoring screen in the system installation area in real time, and according to the existing set algorithm model (such as the forest disease prediction model, forest tree growth model or forest fire monitoring model in the field, etc.), display the current pest and disease information, formulate tree growth information, meteorological information and fire monitoring conditions, etc., output various types of visual chart results, and record the historical data of the entire life cycle of the system.

[0060] It provides a new comprehensive monitoring solution for forest area ecosystems, and provides various information data including animals and plants under the same time, space and environmental parameters, providing accurate and detailed data support for scientific research and forest management. The forest ecological management remote monitoring system 100 takes into account the energy supply, equipment safety, equipment protection capabilities and communication methods of the field working environment, and designs a redundancy solution with obvious feasibility, which provides convenient and efficient basic conditions for the installation, maintenance and all-weather operation of the system hardware equipment.

[0061] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a forest ecological management remote monitoring method is provided, which is applied to the above-mentioned forest ecological management remote monitoring system 100. The forest ecological management remote monitoring method may include the following processing steps S10 to S17:
