Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of monitoring devices, and particularly to an intelligent monitoring device for dairy farms. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, milk has become a preferred high-grade consumer product, and the demand for dairy products has been continuously increasing. The scale of the dairy farming industry has grown rapidly and on a large scale. To obtain a high milk yield, the first thing to consider is how to ensure that the health and reproductive ability of dairy cows are not affected. This requires ensuring that the dairy farm has a suitable environment for dairy cows and effective monitoring of the breeding environment. However, at present, the automation level of dairy farms in China is still relatively low. Realizing the intelligent monitoring of dairy cows in dairy farms not only helps to improve the automation level of the farms, but also can improve the automation diagnosis level of dairy cow estrus and diseases and the economic benefits of the farms.

[0003] However, during the use of existing monitoring devices, the monitoring angles are mostly fixed and non-adjustable, which is not convenient for adjusting the monitoring angles of dairy farms and the conditions of dairy cows; moreover, most of the existing monitoring devices do not have the function of self-cleaning. Since there is a lot of dust in dairy farms, the dust is easily attached to the front of the lens, thus affecting the monitoring quality of dairy cows and the environment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an intelligent monitoring device for dairy farms, aiming to be able to adjust the monitoring angles of the environment of dairy farms and the conditions of dairy cows to achieve multi-angle monitoring; another object of the present invention is to be able to automatically clean the dust in front of the lens of the monitoring device to improve the monitoring quality.

[0020] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in the figure, an adjusting assembly 11 is movably installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 3 and is located between the two fixed plates 4. One end of the adjusting assembly 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting shaft 5 and the other end is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting plate 3. The adjusting assembly 11 includes a moving block 111. The moving block 111 is movably installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 3 and is located between the two fixed plates 4. A rack 112 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the moving block 111 and is located above the connecting shaft 5.

[0021] A cleaning component 12 is movably installed at the left top of the box body 7, with one end thereof fitting against the left side of the glass plate 9. The cleaning component 12 includes a rotating shaft 121. The rotating shaft 121 is movably installed at the left top of the box body 7. A second bearing is fixedly installed at the left top of the box body 7. The rotating shaft 121 is rotatably connected to the box body 7 through the second bearing. A swing rod 122 is fixedly installed on the left side of the rotating shaft 121. A cleaning brush 123 is fixedly installed on the right side of the swing rod 122, located below the rotating shaft 121 and with one end fitting against the left side of the glass plate 9. A strip-shaped hole 124 is formed inside the swing rod 122, located above the rotating shaft 121.

[0022] As Figures 1-4 shown, a traction component 13 is fixedly installed at the left side of the top of the box body 7, with one end thereof passing through and extending to the left side of the cleaning component 12. The traction component 13 includes a box body 131. The box body 131 is fixedly installed at the left side of the top of the box body 7. A driving motor 132 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the box body 131. The model of the driving motor 132 is Y355. The output shaft of the driving motor 132 extends to the left side of the box body 131 and is fixedly installed with a turntable 133 located on the right side of the swing rod 122. A shifting rod 134 is fixedly installed on the left side of the turntable 133, with one end thereof passing through the strip-shaped hole 124 and extending to the left side of the swing rod 122.

[0023] The usage method and principle of the present invention are as follows: When in use, the monitoring device is installed at a high place, and then the servo motor 101 is started to drive the worm 103 to rotate. During the rotation of the worm 103, the installation shaft 2 as a whole is driven to rotate through the worm gear 104. Secondly, the electric push rod 115 can be started to drive the moving block 111 and the rack 112 to move left or right, and then the connecting shaft 5 is driven to rotate through the gear 113. Thus, the box body 7 and the monitoring camera body 8 are driven to swing downward or upward on the left side through the connecting block 6, so that the horizontal rotation and the up-and-down swing of the monitoring camera body 8 are coordinated to adjust the monitoring angle of the dairy farm environment and the cows. Since it is convenient to monitor the breeding environment and the cows from multiple angles, even if the daily stacking positions of the construction materials are inconsistent, adjustments can be made in a timely manner to ensure the normal progress of the monitoring. When dust adheres to the glass plate 9 and affects the monitoring effect of cow estrus, the driving motor 132 can be started to drive the turntable 133 to rotate. During the rotation of the turntable 133, the shifting rod 134 contacts the inner wall of the strip-shaped hole 124 to drive the swing rod 122 to swing back and forth around the rotating shaft 121. During the back-and-forth swing of the swing rod 122, the dust attached to the left side of the glass plate 9 is cleaned by the cleaning brush 123, thus avoiding affecting the monitoring effect and facilitating the use of the user.

[0024] In summary, the monitoring device drives the worm 103 to rotate by starting the servo motor 101. During the rotation of the worm 103, the installation shaft 2 is driven to rotate as a whole through the worm gear 104. Secondly, the electric push rod 115 can be started to drive the moving block 111 and the rack 112 to move left or right, and then the connecting shaft 5 is driven to rotate through the gear 113. In this way, the box body 7 and the left side of the monitoring camera body 8 are driven to swing downward or upward through the connecting block 6, so that the horizontal rotation and the up-and-down swing of the monitoring camera body 8 are coordinated, achieving the purpose of facilitating the adjustment of the monitoring angle of the breeding place and the dairy cows, expanding the monitoring range and improving the practicability. By starting the driving motor 132 to drive the turntable 133 to rotate, during the rotation of the turntable 133, the swing rod 122 is driven to swing back and forth around the rotating shaft 121 through the contact between the dial rod 134 and the inner wall of the strip-shaped hole 124. During the back-and-forth swing of the swing rod 122, the dust attached to the left side of the glass plate 9 is cleaned by the cleaning brush 123, solving the problems that in the process of using the existing monitoring equipment, the monitoring angle is fixed, it is inconvenient to adjust the monitoring angle of the dairy cows and the place, and most of the existing monitoring equipment does not have a cleaning function, and dust is easy to adhere to the front of the lens, thus affecting the monitoring effect.
