DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] Example 1 See also Figure 1 , a multifunctional grassland restoration and intelligent grazing management system, including: a monitoring module, a processing module, a grazing control module, an ecological maintenance module and a display module; Among them, see Figure 1 The monitoring module uses satellite remote sensing, drone monitoring, and ground sensor fusion technology to collect real-time data on vegetation coverage, soil moisture, pasture nutrition status, livestock activity trajectories, etc. The monitoring module also combines multi-spectral analysis with AI intelligent recognition to dynamically assess grassland health, precipitation, and soil organic matter content. See also Figure 1 The processing module refers to the remote management platform. The processing module divides the grazing area into several grazing units and builds GPS electronic fences on the grazing units. The processing module receives data collected by the monitoring module and analyzes the grassland growth status to derive the grazing carrying capacity of each grazing unit (using big data analysis, combined with historical grassland utilization data and future climate forecasts, to intelligently recommend grazing strategies); It should be noted that the detector is worn around the neck of the livestock. The detector refers to a smart collar (with GPS and physiological monitoring sensors) that monitors body temperature, movement trajectory, and feeding behavior in real time, and transmits the above data to the processing module, especially in combination with AI algorithms to optimize grazing strategies; See also Figure 1 ,The display module refers to the display of the remote platform, which is used to display various data such as the grassland growth status, livestock activity data, etc. of the grazing unit; See also Figure 1 The ecological maintenance module includes a sowing unit and a fertilizing unit (using drones equipped with sowing equipment or fertilizing equipment). The drones, combined with precision agriculture technology, can accurately sow, automatically fertilize and irrigate degraded grasslands, thereby accelerating vegetation recovery. See also Figure 2 The grazing control module includes a mobile device 1 (such as an intelligent unmanned vehicle) and a playback device 2 (such as a speaker) provided on the mobile device 1, and the playback device 2 is used to play simulated sounds.

[0017] It should be noted that the grassland data of each grazing unit is collected through the monitoring module and transmitted to the processing module for processing, and the grazing carrying capacity of each grazing unit is calculated; in the grazing process, the grazing unit with a grazing carrying capacity greater than the threshold is selected as the grazing area, and the grazing control module is controlled to work, so that the mobile device 1 moves the playback device 2 to the pre-selected grazing unit, and controls the playback device 2 to start simulating livestock sounds (such as the sound of a leading sheep / cow), and guides the livestock to the pre-selected grazing unit for grazing. After completion, the grazing control module stops working, and when the preset grazing time is reached (the processing module Based on the grazing carrying capacity of the selected grazing unit and the livestock's needs, the grazing time of livestock in the grazing unit is calculated. Livestock needs are calculated based on the number of livestock. The processing module controls the operation of the grazing control module to guide the livestock to other grazing units for continued grazing. During the grazing process, the monitoring module also continuously obtains grassland data from each grazing unit to enable the processing module to understand the grazing carrying capacity of each grazing unit in real time, intelligently regulate the livestock grazing area, and control the ecological maintenance module to sow and fertilize grazing units whose grazing carrying capacity reaches the threshold, in order to restore the grassland environment of the grazing unit.

[0018] In this embodiment, as a further optimization solution, please refer to Figure 2 The mobile device 1 is provided with a first driving member 3, which includes a mounting plate and an electric telescopic rod installed on the side wall of the mounting plate. A clamp 4 is installed on the movable end of the electric telescopic rod, which clamps a fixed pile 5, and the playback device 2 is installed on the top wall of the fixed pile 5; after the mobile device 1 moves to the predetermined grazing unit, the electric telescopic rod of the first driving member 3 moves down with the clamp 4, so that the fixed pile 5 is inserted into the soil of the grazing unit, and then the clamp 4 releases the fixed pile 5 and installs the playback device 2 in the grazing unit. At this time, the mobile device 1 can move alone; when the playback device 2 needs to be moved, the clamp 4 clamps the fixed pile 5, and then the electric telescopic rod of the first driving member 3 moves up with the clamp 4 to pull the fixed pile 5 out of the soil.

[0019] It should be noted that the audio system is activated and shut down via wireless control, such as a radio frequency remote control.

[0020] In this embodiment, as a further optimization solution, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mobile device 1 is provided with a driving component 6; the driving component 6 includes a telescopic member 601, a second driving member 603 (such as an electric telescopic rod) and a baffle 604. The telescopic member 601 is hinged to the top wall of the mobile device 1, and the two ends of the second driving member 603 are hinged to the fixed end of the telescopic member 601 and the top wall of the mobile device 1 through a rotating shaft. The baffle 604 is hinged to the moving end of the telescopic member 601; after the mobile device 1 places the playback device 2 in the predetermined grazing unit, the mobile device 1 automatically moves to the rear side of the livestock herd's moving direction under the control of the processing module, and then the second driving member 603 drives the telescopic member 601 to rotate and stand upright. At the same time, the telescopic member 601 extends and the baffle 604 rotates and stands upright; after the two baffles 604 stand up, they have a blocking effect, so that the mobile device 1 with the driving component 6 can drive the livestock and guide the livestock to the designated grazing area; during the grazing process, if some livestock leave the predetermined grazing unit (because the GPS will transmit the location of the livestock to the processing module, when it leaves the GPS electronic fence of the predetermined grazing unit, the processing module will receive the information and issue an alarm. At this time, the processing module can control the mobile device 1 with the driving component 6 to drive the livestock that have left and return them to the predetermined position, thereby ensuring the accuracy of grazing).

[0021] It should be noted that there are two driving components 6 , which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the mobile device 1 .

During the separation process, the gear 612 rotates, driving the rotating rod 610, the rotating support block 606 and the baffle 604 to rotate, so that the mounting groove 613 is aligned with the mounting hole 608; when the gas pumping device 602 inflates the inside of the sleeve, the moving rod moves to the outside of the sleeve. When moving sideways (the telescopic member 601 extends), the gas will enter the inner cavity of the mounting groove 613, and be used to push the push block 614 into the inner cavity of the mounting hole 608, so that the push rod 609 moves to contact the baffle 604 and push the baffle 604 to rotate; when the driving assembly 6 is reset, the telescopic member 601 is laid down, so that the gear 612 contacts the rack 607, and is used to drive the gear 612 to rotate, and rotate the rotating support block 606 and the baffle 604, thereby reducing the space occupied by the baffle 604.
