For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. The following is an explanation of an embodiment of the present invention based on the overall structure of the present invention.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5In an embodiment of the present invention, an infrared camera device for monitoring wetland bird behavior includes a camera device body 1, the camera device body 1 includes a body 11 and a camera lens 12 arranged at one end of the body 11, a cleaning component 2 is arranged on one side of the body 11 close to the camera lens 12, the cleaning component 2 includes a protective shell 21 fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the body 11, a moisture-proof shell 22 fixedly installed on the top of the protective shell 21, and a through groove 26 opened at the bottom end of the moisture-proof shell 22 and the top of the protective shell 21, a micro motor 23 is fixedly installed inside the moisture-proof shell 22, and the micro motor 23 is fixedly installed inside the moisture-proof shell 22. One end of the machine 23 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 24, and one end of the first connecting rod 24 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 25. A mounting plate 27 is fixedly installed inside the protective housing 21 and located on one side of the camera lens 12. A cleaning scraper 28 for removing water mist on the surface of the camera lens 12 is slidably connected inside the mounting plate 27, and a chloroprene rubber plate 210 is fixedly installed at one end of the cleaning scraper 28. A connecting seat 29 that penetrates the mounting plate 27 and is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 25 is fixedly provided at the top of the cleaning scraper 28. A guide plate 212 for guiding the cleaning scraper 28 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the inner side of the protective housing 21;

[0023] Through the implementation of this method: the camera body 1 is improved through the existing Bosch infrared camera equipment, which is equipped with a 15-LED high-efficiency array with a wavelength of 850 nanometers. The camera body 1 uses infrared imaging technology to clearly capture the thermal imaging of birds even in poor lighting environments (such as at night or on cloudy days). Various features such as shape, size, texture, color, etc. are extracted from the detected bird target image, and the bird's movement trajectory, posture changes, stay time and other behavioral information are analyzed based on the continuously shot image sequence. The camera body 1 is connected to a wireless network, and the device can transmit the captured video in real time to a designated network storage device (such as a network hard disk, cloud storage service, etc.). This allows for real-time remote viewing and storage of video, making it convenient for users to access and manage bird monitoring video data anytime and anywhere through the network. The storage type is a 32GB Micro SDHC / 2TB Micro SDXC card, which can perform continuous recording, loop recording, and alarm / event / schedule recording. The infrared camera has a horizontal field of view of 36°-117° and a vertical field of view of 20°-61°. The camera body 1 is installed and fixed in the wetland to monitor the behavior of birds. The cleaning component 2 can clean the dew condensed on the lens surface to reduce the reflection caused by the dew that affects the image accuracy of the monitoring.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5A guide slot 213 slidably connected to the cleaning scraper 28 is provided on the inner side of the guide plate 212, and the guide slot 213 is symmetrically provided on the inner side of the guide plate 212. The guide slot 213 is also symmetrically provided on the inner side of the mounting plate 27. Guide sliders 211 slidably connected to the guide slot 213 are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the cleaning scraper 28. A portable power source 218 for providing power to the micro motor 23 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the moisture-proof housing 22.

[0025] Through the implementation of this method: the cleaning scraper 28 can be guided by the guide plate 212, the guide groove 213 and the guide slider 211, thereby increasing the stability of the cleaning scraper 28 relative to the camera lens 12.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 A guide groove 214 for guiding the cleaning water mist is symmetrically provided on the inner side of the protective shell 21 and located on one side of the cleaning scraper 28. A water storage chamber 215 is provided on the inner side of the protective shell 21 and located directly below the guide plate 212. The water storage chamber 215 is communicated with the guide groove 214. An absorption sponge block 216 for absorbing the cleaning water mist is arranged inside the water storage chamber 215. A locking plate 217 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the protective shell 21 to facilitate the removal of the absorption sponge block 216.

[0027] Through the implementation of this method: the water mist or water droplets can be absorbed by the absorption sponge block 216, thereby reducing the accumulation of clean water mist or water droplets inside the protective shell 21 to cause damage to the camera lens 12, and when the staff regularly cleans the camera device body 1, they only need to open the locking plate 217 at the bottom of the protective shell 21 to quickly take out the absorption sponge block 216 inside the water storage chamber 215 for replacement.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 A fixing seat 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the body 11 for easy fixing.

[0029] The working principle of the present invention is: when water mist or water droplets condense on the surface of the camera lens 12 of the body 11 and cause the monitoring image to be incomplete, by starting the micro motor 23, the rotation of the output shaft of the micro motor 23 will drive the first connecting rod 24 to rotate, and the rotation of the first connecting rod 24 will drive the second connecting rod 25 to rotate together, thereby driving the connecting seat 29 to slide back and forth on the inner side of the mounting plate 27, thereby driving the chloroprene rubber plate 210 at one end of the cleaning scraper 28 to clean the water mist or water droplets on the surface of the camera lens 12. The cleaning component 2 can be used to clean the water mist or water droplets on the surface of the camera lens 12 in a portable manner, thereby reducing the camera device body 1 from being damaged by birds. When unclear images occur during class behavior monitoring, when the neoprene plate 210 cleans the water mist or water droplets on the surface of the camera lens 12 to the guide grooves 214 at both ends of the protective shell 21, the cleaned water mist or water droplets flow into the water storage chamber 215 through the guide grooves 214. At this time, the water mist or water droplets can be absorbed by the absorption sponge block 216, thereby reducing the accumulation of clean water mist or water droplets inside the protective shell 21 to cause damage to the camera lens 12. When the staff regularly cleans the camera device body 1, they only need to open the locking plate 217 at the bottom of the protective shell 21 to quickly take out the absorption sponge block 216 inside the water storage chamber 215 for replacement.

[0030] What is described above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
