Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of grassland environmental monitoring, and specifically refers to a monitoring device for the water conservation function of degraded alpine grasslands. Background Art

[0002] Alpine grasslands are ecosystems mainly composed of cold-tolerant perennial herbaceous plants in cold and semi-arid areas above 3000 meters above sea level, such as alpine meadows and alpine steppes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Such grasslands have unique vegetation compositions and ecological functions; water conservation refers to the interaction between an ecosystem and water through its unique structure, intercepting, infiltrating, and storing precipitation, and regulating water flow and the water cycle through evaporation.

[0003] In recent years, due to the influence of climate change and human activities, alpine grasslands have shown signs of degradation, manifested as a decrease in biodiversity, vegetation cover, and productivity, as well as a decrease in soil nutrients and organic matter. In particular, the damage to the water conservation function of plateau grasslands is significant. During the ecological restoration process of alpine grasslands, monitoring the water conservation function is particularly important. Existing water conservation function monitoring devices are mostly installed in fixed positions and can only monitor a specific area at a certain location, making the use process less flexible.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a monitoring device for the water conservation function of degraded alpine grasslands to solve the technical problems existing in the current alpine grassland environmental monitoring process. Summary of the Invention

On the left and right sides of the balancing component, protective shells are symmetrically and movably arranged. Above the balancing component, a rainfall detection component is provided. Below the balancing component, a soil moisture detection device is movably arranged. When the protective shells are combined with each other, the balancing component, the rainfall detection component, and the soil moisture detection device are respectively located inside the protective shells. On the opposite side edges of the protective shells, moving wheels are respectively rotatably arranged. On the inner side wall of the inner ring of the moving wheel, control teeth are fixedly arranged in an annular array. On the inner wall of the protective shell, a gear motor is fixedly arranged. At the output end of the gear motor, a control gear is provided. The control gear meshes with the control teeth.

The rainfall monitor adopts a capacitive rain sensor, and the inclination sensor adopts an SVT626T biaxial inclination sensor.

[0017] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention with the above structure are as follows:

[0018] (1)When the device is not in use, the protective housing can be combined to protect the internal rainfall detection component and soil moisture detection device. When in use, the threaded rod motor drives the adjustable double threaded rod to rotate, so that the moving sleeves move away from each other, and the connecting rod drives the protective housing to move away from each other. The rainfall detection component and soil moisture detection device come into contact with the external environment, realizing the detection of rainfall and soil moisture;

[0019] (2)The gear motor can drive the control gear to rotate, and the control gear can drive the moving wheel to rotate through the control teeth, so that the device can move. The position of the device can be adjusted according to actual monitoring needs, increasing the environmental monitoring range and improving the flexibility of the device. The support rod and universal ball play a supporting role to ensure that the device will not tip over during movement;

[0020] (3)The ground environment of alpine grasslands is relatively complex. When encountering a slope, the device will tilt, resulting in the tilting of the rainfall detection component and inaccurate rainfall detection results. Therefore, the device is provided with a first balance ring and a second balance ring. When the device tilts, the weight always points vertically downward due to gravity. The first balance ring and the second balance ring tilt and rotate in two mutually perpendicular directions relative to the support plate respectively. At the same time, the moving wheel can drive the device to rotate horizontally, realizing the adaptive adjustment of the rainfall detection component in three rotation directions: roll, pitch, and horizontal, ensuring that the rainfall detection component is always perpendicular to the ground and thus ensuring the accuracy of rainfall detection results;

[0021] (4)When the first balance ring and the second balance ring tilt, the friction damping gasket will increase the friction between the first balance ring and the first bushing and between the second balance ring and the second bushing, effectively avoiding the problem of swinging when the first balance ring and the second balance ring rotate, reducing the impact force, and ensuring the stability of the rainfall detection component;

[0022] (5)The soil moisture detection device includes a lower telescopic rod and a soil moisture detection insert. When soil moisture detection is required, the lower telescopic rod will drive the soil moisture detection insert to descend and insert the soil moisture detection insert into the soil, realizing the detection of the water content of the soil below the device;

[0023] (6)The rainfall detection component includes a tipping bucket rain gauge sensor, which can monitor the precipitation at the location of the device. The main controller can analyze the water conservation situation in the area of this location based on the obtained precipitation data combined with the soil water content data detected by the soil moisture detection insert, and send the relevant data to the remote control center through the satellite communication module for researchers to study and use, which is convenient and fast;

[0024] (7)The rainfall monitor installed on the outer wall of the protective shell can sense whether rainfall occurs in the location area. If there is no rainfall, the main controller can automatically control the protective shell to merge, protecting the internal rainfall detection component and soil humidity detection device. At this time, the device can remain in standby state, reducing operation losses. Meanwhile, the solar panel can convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the main control power supply during sufficient sunlight, thus ensuring the normal operation of the device during rainy days. When the rainfall monitor detects rainfall, the main controller can automatically open the protective shell, enabling the device to start the normal monitoring process;

[0025] (8)The camera component can record the images of the monitored area in real time and transmit the image data to the remote control center through the satellite communication module. Researchers can further analyze the local water conservation status based on the actual on-site images. Description of the Drawings

[0049] During specific use:

[0050] When the device is not in use, the protective housing 1 can be combined to protect the internal rainfall detection component 3 and the soil moisture detection device 4. The researcher places the device in the area where water conservation detection is required, so that the moving wheels 11 and the universal balls 141 contact the ground, and the device is started through a remote control device (prior art, not elaborated). When the device is in use, the main controller 15 automatically starts the threaded rod motor 2111, and the threaded rod motor 2111 drives the adjusting double threaded rod 211 to rotate, so that the moving sleeves 121 move away from each other, and the connecting rod 12 drives the protective housing 1 to move away from each other, and the rainfall detection component 3 and the soil moisture detection device 4 are in contact with the external environment, realizing the detection of rainfall and soil moisture.

[0051] Researchers send signals to this device through a remote control center. A satellite communication module is installed inside the main controller 15. Through the satellite communication module, this device can receive signals sent by the remote control center. The main controller 15 controls each mechanism of the device according to the signal content, thus achieving the effect of remote control. Therefore, researchers can remotely control the device to move along the planned route. The main controller 15 will automatically start the gear motor 13. The gear motor 13 can drive the control gear 131 to rotate. The control gear 131 can drive the moving wheel 11 to rotate through the control teeth 111, so that the device can move. When the relatively arranged moving wheels 11 rotate in the same direction, the device can move forward or backward. When the relatively arranged moving wheels 11 rotate in the opposite direction, the device can turn, thus increasing the movement flexibility of the device and enabling flexible adjustment of the position of the device according to actual monitoring needs, increasing the environmental monitoring range. During the movement of the device, the support rod 14 and the universal ball 141 play a supporting role to ensure that the device will not tip over during movement.

[0052] The ground environment of alpine grasslands is relatively complex. When encountering slopes, the device will tilt, which will cause the rainfall detection component 3 to tilt as well, resulting in inaccurate rainfall detection results. Therefore, this device is provided with a first balance ring 22 and a second balance ring 23. When the device tilts, the weight 232 always points vertically downward due to gravity. The first balance ring 22 and the second balance ring 23 tilt and rotate in two mutually perpendicular directions relative to the support disk 21 respectively, and adaptively adjust the rotation amount according to the tilt angle of the device. At the same time, the tilt sensor can detect the tilt angle of the balance disk 24 in real time. The main controller 15 adjusts the rotation direction of the device through the moving wheel 11 according to the detection value of the tilt sensor, so as to achieve the adaptive adjustment of the rainfall detection component 3 in the three rotation directions of roll, pitch and horizontal, ensuring that the tilt sensor detects that the balance disk 24 is always in a horizontal state, that is, ensuring that the rainfall detection component 3 is always perpendicular to the ground, and further ensuring the accuracy of the rainfall detection results;

[0053] When the first balance ring 22 and the second balance ring 23 tilt, the friction damping gasket 25 will increase the friction force between the first bushing 2131 and the first balance ring 22 and between the second bushing 222 and the second balance ring 23, thus effectively avoiding the problem of swinging when the first balance ring 22 and the second balance ring 23 rotate, reducing the impact force, and ensuring the stability of the rainfall detection component 3.

[0054] The soil humidity detection device 4 includes a lower telescopic rod 41 and a soil humidity detection insert 42. When soil humidity detection is required, the lower telescopic rod 41 drives the soil humidity detection insert 42 to descend and insert it into the soil. By measuring the dielectric constant of the soil, the soil humidity detection insert 42 can directly and stably reflect the true moisture content of various soils. Its structure and operating principle belong to the prior art and will not be elaborated here;

[0055] The rainfall detection component 3 includes a tipping bucket rain gauge sensor 31 and an outer protection cylinder 32. The tipping bucket rain gauge sensor 31 is a telemetry rain gauge instrument composed of a sensor and a signal recorder. It has the characteristics of high automation, strong timeliness in obtaining precipitation, and easy preservation and transmission of rainfall data, etc., and belongs to the prior art. Its specific structure and principle will not be elaborated here. The main controller 15 can analyze the water conservation situation in this location area based on the precipitation data obtained by the tipping bucket rain gauge sensor 31 and the soil moisture content data detected by the soil humidity detection insert 42, and send the relevant data to the remote control center through the satellite communication module for researchers to study and use, which is convenient and fast. The outer protection cylinder 32 protects the tipping bucket rain gauge sensor 31, and the protective net 321 prevents sundries from entering the tipping bucket rain gauge sensor 31 and affecting the detection results.

[0056] The rainfall monitor 16 provided on the outer wall of the protective housing 1 can sense whether rainfall occurs in this location area. If there is no rainfall, the main controller 15 can automatically control the protective housing 1 to close according to actual needs to protect the internal rainfall detection component 3 and soil humidity detection device 4. At this time, the device can remain in the standby state to reduce operation losses. At the same time, the solar panel 17 can convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the main control power supply during sufficient sunlight time, so as to ensure the normal operation of the device in rainy days. When the rainfall monitor 16 detects rainfall, the main controller 15 can automatically open the protective housing 1, so that the device starts the normal monitoring process. The rainfall monitor 16 uses a capacitive rain gauge sensor, and the capacitive rain gauge sensor belongs to the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0057] The imaging component 5 can capture the images of the monitored area in real time and transmit the image data to the remote control center through the satellite communication module. The researchers can further analyze the local water conservation status based on the actual on-site images. During specific operations, rotating the micro-motor 511 can drive the rotating arm 52 to rotate back and forth, moving the monitoring camera 54 from the front side of the device to the rear side. At the same time, the roll micro-motor 521 can drive the monitoring camera 54 to roll and rotate, facilitating the monitoring camera 54 to obtain the images of the front and rear sides of the device. The horizontal micro-motor 531 can drive the monitoring camera 54 to rotate horizontally, enabling the monitoring camera 54 to obtain the images of the left and right sides of the device, increasing the shooting range of the monitoring camera 54, and ensuring that the researchers can comprehensively understand the actual environment around the device during the monitoring process.
