Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bird observation, and in particular relates to a method and device for observing birds in an ecological zone. Background Art

[0002] Since different types of birds have different activity patterns at different times and seasons, usually after obtaining information in the area, users need to move the bird observation device to a new observation point in time to continue observation in order to obtain more comprehensive and accurate bird distribution information.

[0003] However, common bird observation devices generally rely on power provided by electrical wires, that is, bird observation devices can only be installed near a power source or in a place where power lines are pre-laid. When the user needs to change the observation location, rewiring is required, which undoubtedly increases the cost of moving the device.

[0004] To circumvent this problem, users generally choose to use built-in batteries to power the device. However, due to the limited battery energy, the battery of the bird observation device may run out during the observation process, and the device may stop working. Once the bird observation device stops working during the migration and foraging period, important observation opportunities will be missed before the user replaces the power supply. In addition, long-term power outages may interrupt continuous observation records, resulting in data loss or discontinuity, which will directly affect the user's in-depth understanding and research of bird behavior, migration patterns and even ecological environment.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide a method and device for observing birds in an ecological zone. Summary of the invention

[0037] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] like Figure 1As shown, a method and device for observing birds in an ecological zone in one embodiment of the present invention include an observation device body 1. The observation device body 1 generally includes bird watching equipment and a power supply battery. A support frame is installed at the bottom of the observation device body 1. A first socket 101 is opened on the observation device body 1. A daily power supply mechanism is installed on the support frame. The power consumption of the observation device body 1 in the initial state is provided by the battery. When the battery is exhausted, the daily power supply mechanism provides power to the observation device body 1. The daily power supply mechanism can select a wind power generation system. The wind power generation system generally includes a wind turbine (blades 301 and a generator) and an energy storage device for storing excess electrical energy.

[0039] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the daily power supply mechanism includes a blade 301, on which a second battery 302 matching the blade 301 is installed, and the second battery 302 is electrically connected to the observation device body 1. Specifically, when the wind blows through the blade 301, the kinetic energy of the wind is transferred to the blade 301, causing the blade 301 to start rotating, thereby converting the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy. The generator contains windings. When mechanical energy acts on the generator, it drives the magnetic field and coil inside the generator to move relative to each other, causing an electromotive force to be generated in the coil, and then generating current, that is, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy is first stored in the second battery 302, and then supplied to the observation device body 1 by the second battery 302. Excess electrical energy is also stored in the second battery 302 for use when there is no wind or insufficient wind.

[0040] like Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, the bird observation device in the ecological zone also includes an emergency charging mechanism, which includes a first emergency charging mechanism and a second emergency charging mechanism. When the power of the second battery 302 is exhausted, if the wind is still insufficient, the observation device body 1 will not be able to continue to work until the wind is restored or the observation device body 1 is recharged. At this time, the first emergency charging mechanism of the emergency charging mechanism supplies power to the observation device body 1, so as to avoid the situation where the observation device body 1 is exhausted and stops running during the observation process.

[0041] Specifically, the first emergency charging mechanism is installed on the drone, and the first emergency charging mechanism includes a first storage battery 201, and a wire 202 is electrically connected to the first storage battery 201, and a first plug 203 electrically connected to the first socket 101 is installed at one end of the wire 202. The drone approaches the observation device body 1, and the first plug 203 is inserted into the first socket 101, and the power in the first storage battery 201 is provided to the observation device body 1.

[0042] like Figure 3 to Figure 5As shown in the figure, on one side of the first socket 101, a first baffle 102 is hinged to prevent rainwater and impurities from blocking the first socket 101. A push rod 207 matching the first baffle 102 is installed on the first battery 201. A first plug 203 is installed at one end of the push rod 207. A first groove 103 matching the swinging range of the first baffle 102 is provided on the observation device body 1. An adsorption mechanism matching the first socket 101 is installed on the first baffle 102. When the first emergency charging mechanism supplies power to the observation device body 1, the push rod 207 pushes the upper part of the first baffle 102, causing the first baffle 102 to swing towards the first groove 103, and at the same time opening the first socket 101 to supply power to the observation device body 1. The adsorption mechanism is used to ensure that the first baffle 102 fits with the first socket 101 under normal conditions, and as much as possible to prevent the first socket 101 from being exposed due to reasons such as birds contacting it.

[0043] As Figure 5-6 shown, the adsorption mechanism can be a first magnetic sheet 1021, and a second magnetic sheet 1011 matching the first magnetic sheet 1021 is installed on the first socket 101. Utilizing the adsorption characteristics between the first magnetic sheet 1021 and the second magnetic sheet 1011, the fitting of the first baffle 102 and the first socket 101 is realized.

[0044] As Figure 7-Figure 8 shown, the second emergency charging mechanism includes a second plug 303. The second plug 303 is installed on the second battery 302. A second socket 204 matching the second plug 303 is provided at the bottom of the first battery 201. A protection mechanism matching the second plug 303 is installed on the second battery 302. Due to different geographical locations and environments, and different wind speeds, there may be a situation where some of the daily power supply institutions have sufficient stored power with a surplus, while some daily power supply institutions have insufficient power.

[0045] As Figure 7-Figure 8 shown, the bird observation device in the ecological area includes an inspection mechanism for inspecting multiple observation device bodies 1. The inspection mechanism includes a drone. When the drone's power is insufficient and it cannot provide electrical energy to the observation device body 1, the drone can obtain the distribution and remaining power of the nearby second batteries 302, and supply the electrical energy stored in the daily power supply institutions with sufficient power to the daily power supply institutions with insufficient power through the second emergency charging mechanism, realizing the power scheduling.

[0046] Preferably, the inspection mechanism can preferentially select the second battery 302 for power scheduling according to factors such as the distance, the remaining power of the second battery 302, etc., and determine the charging amount given to the observation device body 1 according to the distance, weather conditions, power consumption, etc., to ensure that the drone only has enough power to move to the second battery 302 where it receives power scheduling, so as to extend the battery life of the observation device body 1 as much as possible.

[0047] Preferably, after the drone is fully charged and powers the main body 1 of the observation device without returning, the drone uses other daily power supply mechanisms with surplus power to charge the drone, and then the drone goes to find the main body 1 of the observation device that needs to be charged. Since the second plug 303 is exposed to the external environment, impurities will inevitably accumulate in the second plug 303, which will affect the power scheduling. The protection mechanism can effectively reduce the situation of impurities blocking the second plug 303.

[0048] As Figure 8 shown, the protection mechanism includes a second baffle 304, the second baffle 304 is hinged to the second battery 302, a push plate 205 matching the second baffle 304 is installed at the bottom of the first battery 201, and a second groove 206 matching the second baffle 304 is opened at the bottom of the first battery 201. When the drone needs the electric energy stored in the daily power supply mechanism, it moves downward, so that the push plate 205 pushes the outside of the second baffle 304, causing the second baffle 304 to change its angle, exposing the second plug 303. The drone continues to move downward, and the second baffle 304 that swings upward enters the second groove 206, and the second plug 303 enters the second socket 204 to complete the transfer of electric energy.

[0049] As Figure 9-10 shown, a detachable mechanism is installed at the bottom of the main body 1 of the observation device, a disassembly fork 401 matching the detachable mechanism is installed on the drone, and a card slot 4011 matching the main body 1 of the observation device is opened on the disassembly fork 401. Since the main body 1 of the observation device is generally installed at a high place to have a wider view to observe birds, when the main body 1 of the observation device is damaged and needs to be repaired, the disassembly fork 401 separates the main body 1 of the observation device from the detachable mechanism, and then it can be inserted into the card slot 4011 to remove the main body 1 of the observation device. The drone is used to send the main body 1 of the observation device to the ground for quick repair.

[0050] As Figures 4 to 10 shown, the detachable mechanism includes a disassembly slot 402 matching the disassembly fork 401. The gap at one end of the disassembly fork 401 close to the drone is smaller than the gap at the end far from the drone. The disassembly slot 402 is opened on the main body 1 of the observation device. A connecting hook 403 is installed on the main body 1 of the observation device, a connecting slot 404 matching the connecting hook 403 is opened on the support frame, a spring 405 is installed on one side of the connecting hook 403, and a stabilizing component matching the main body 1 of the observation device is installed on the support frame. The disassembly fork 401 is aligned with the disassembly slot 402 and moves towards the main body 1 of the observation device. During the movement, the connecting hook 403 is gradually pushed inward, so that the connecting hook 403 compresses the spring 405 and at the same time the connecting hook 403 is released from the restriction of the connecting slot 404, thereby removing the main body 1 of the observation device. The stabilizing component can, to a certain extent, prevent the main body 1 of the observation device from falling due to unstable center of gravity during the process of the disassembly fork 401 removing the main body 1 of the observation device.

[0051] Preferably, strong winds may blow lightweight objects such as leaves, dust, and plastic bags on the ground onto the observation device body 1 and the blades 301, resulting in obstruction of the line of sight of the observation device body 1 and failure of the daily power supply mechanism to operate normally. During the cruising process of the drone, the disassembly fork 401 can remove the lightweight objects to ensure the normal operation of the observation device body 1 and the blades 301.

[0052] like Figures 5 to 10 As shown, the stabilizing assembly includes a limit post 406, and a limit groove 407 matching the limit post 406 is provided on the observation device body 1. During the disassembly fork 401 to dismantle the observation device body 1, with the cooperation of the limit post 406 and the limit groove 407, the observation device body 1 moves upward but does not deviate left or right, so as to maintain the stability of the observation device body 1.

[0053] The bird observation method in the ecoregion includes the following steps:

[0054] S1: Enter basic bird knowledge into the database of the observation device body 1 so that a quick judgment can be made during observation;

[0055] S2: Choose a suitable observation site based on the living habits and activity range of birds;

[0056] S3: Select a suitable observation device body 1 for installation according to the observation requirements;

[0057] S4: Use the observation device body 1 to observe the bird's appearance, analyze the bird's behavior, and input and store the bird's information.

[0058] During use, when the battery energy of the observation device body 1 is exhausted, the daily power supply mechanism continues to supply power to the observation device body 1. When the wind force is insufficient and the daily power supply mechanism cannot supply power to the observation device body 1, the first emergency charging mechanism transfers the battery power in the drone to the observation device body 1, so that the observation device body 1 can operate normally. At the same time, the second emergency charging mechanism can transfer the power stored in the daily power supply mechanism with sufficient power to the daily power supply mechanism with insufficient power to complete the power dispatch.

[0059] When the observation device body 1 needs to be repaired, the drone can quickly dismantle the observation device body 1, making it convenient for the user to repair the observation device body 1 so as to continue the observation work.

[0060] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention.
