Description

Technical Field

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

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

[0003] However, common bird observation devices generally rely on the power supply provided by wires, that is, the bird observation device can only be installed near the power supply or where the power cord has been pre-laid. When the user needs to change the observation position, re-wiring is required, which undoubtedly increases the moving cost of the device.

[0004] To avoid this problem, users generally choose to use a built-in battery to power the device. However, due to the limited battery energy, it is possible for the battery of the bird observation device to run out during the observation process, resulting in the device stopping running. Once the bird observation device pauses during the time of bird migration and foraging, 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 the 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 area. Summary of the Invention

[0011] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the daily power supply mechanism includes blades, a second storage battery matching the blades is installed on the blades, and the second storage battery is electrically connected to the observation device body.

[0012] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the second emergency charging mechanism includes a second plug, the second plug is installed on the second storage battery, a second socket matching the second plug is formed at the bottom of the first storage battery, and a protection mechanism matching the second plug is installed on the second storage battery.

[0016] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the stable component includes a limiting pile, and a limiting groove matching the limiting pile is formed on the observation device body.

[0017] To achieve the above object, the technical solution provided by a specific embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0037] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention

[0038] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, a bird observation method and an observation device in an ecological area according to an embodiment of the present invention include an observation device body 1. The observation device body 1 generally includes a bird watching device and a power supply battery. A support frame is installed at the bottom of the observation device body 1. A first socket 101 is provided 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 runs out of power, the daily power supply mechanism provides power for the observation device body 1. The daily power supply mechanism can select a wind power generation system, which generally includes a wind turbine (blade 301 and generator) and an energy storage device for storing excess electric energy.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, the daily power supply mechanism includes a blade 301. A second storage battery 302 matching the blade 301 is installed on the blade 301. The second storage 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 inside. When mechanical energy acts on the generator, it will drive the relative movement of the magnetic field and the coil inside the generator, generating an electromotive force in the coil and then generating an electric current, that is, converting mechanical energy into electric energy. The electric energy is first stored in the second storage battery 302 and then supplied to the observation device body 1 by the second storage battery 302. The excess electric energy is also stored in the second storage battery 302 for use when there is no wind or the wind force is insufficient.

[0040] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, the bird observation device in the ecological area further includes an emergency charging mechanism, which includes a first emergency charging mechanism and a second emergency charging mechanism. When the power of the second storage battery 302 runs out, if the wind force is still insufficient, the observation device body 1 will not be able to continue working until the wind force recovers 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, as much as possible to avoid the situation that the power of the observation device body 1 runs out and stops running during the observation process.

[0041] Specifically, the first emergency charging mechanism is installed on the unmanned aerial vehicle. The first emergency charging mechanism includes a first storage battery 201. A wire 202 is electrically connected to the first storage battery 201. One end of the wire 202 is installed with a first plug 203 electrically connected to the first socket 101. The unmanned aerial vehicle approaches the observation device body 1, inserts the first plug 203 into the first socket 101, and supplies the power in the first storage battery 201 to the observation device body 1.

[0042] As Figures 3 to 5As shown, 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 formed 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 contact by birds or other reasons.

[0043] As Figures 5 to 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. By using the adsorption characteristics between the first magnetic sheet 1021 and the second magnetic sheet 1011, the first baffle 102 is made to fit with the first socket 101.

[0044] As Figures 7 to 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 formed 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 different wind speeds, there may be a situation where some daily power supply institutions have sufficient stored power with a surplus, while some daily power supply institutions have insufficient power.

[0045] As Figures 7 to 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 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 receiving 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 charged once and powers the main body 1 of the observation device without returning, after using other daily power supply mechanisms with surplus power to charge the drone, the drone then 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, it is inevitable that impurities will accumulate in the second plug 303, which will in turn affect the power scheduling. The protection mechanism can effectively reduce the situation of the second plug 303 being blocked by impurities.

[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 and expose 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 Figures 9 to 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 in order 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 main body 1 of the observation device is sent to the ground by the drone 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 the 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, in windy weather, light objects such as leaves, dust, and plastic bags on the ground may be blown onto the observation device body 1 and the blades 301, resulting in the obstruction of the line of sight of the observation device body 1 and the abnormal operation of the daily power supply mechanism. During the cruise of the drone, the disassembly fork 401 can remove the light objects to ensure the normal operation of the observation device body 1 and the blades 301.

[0052] As Figures 5 to 10 shown, the stabilizing assembly includes a limit pile 406, and a limit groove 407 matching the limit pile 406 is formed on the observation device body 1. During the process of removing the observation device body 1 by the disassembly fork 401, under the cooperation of the limit pile 406 and the limit groove 407, the observation device body 1 moves upward but does not shift left and right, so as to maintain the stability of the observation device body 1.

[0053] The method for observing birds in the ecological area includes the following steps:

[0054] S1: Enter the basic knowledge of birds into the database of the observation device body 1 so as to make a quick judgment during the observation;

[0055] S2: Select a suitable observation location according to the living habits and activity ranges 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 morphology of birds, analyze the behaviors of birds, and enter and store bird information.

[0058] During the use process, 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 scheduling.

[0059] When the observation device body 1 needs to be repaired, the drone can quickly remove the observation device body 1, which is convenient for users to repair the observation device body 1 so as to continue the observation work.
