With the maturity of hyperspectral technology, more and more scientific research fields use ground object spectrometers to conduct research, such as monitoring ecological indicators of water bodies, soil, and plants.
[0003] According to the utility model patent of publication number CN219639919U, a wetland plant species survey image acquisition device includes a base chassis, an arc guide frame fixedly installed on both sides of the base chassis, a drive motor is installed on both sides of the arc guide frame, and a toothed track is installed on the outer surface of the arc guide frame through the output end of the drive motor, and a reserved sleeve is installed in the middle position of the upper surface of the base chassis. The wetland plant species survey image acquisition device provided by the utility model can adapt to outdoor wetland environments through the driving action of the toothed track installed on the arc guide frames on both sides of the base chassis, stably driving the image acquisition head to perform mobile species survey image acquisition. Through the driving action of the lifting rod and the servo motor sleeve, it can flexibly rotate 360 degrees to change the image acquisition angle and height, effectively solving the problem that the existing wetland plant species survey image acquisition device cannot adapt to wetland mobile image acquisition.
[0004] Although the above technical solution can achieve the image collection effect of plant species, since its image collection head is installed integrally with the base chassis and the device is used in a wetland environment, the bumps generated when the device is walking will directly act on the image collection head, causing the collected image to shake, affecting the image collection effect. Summary of the Invention

The upper end of the counterweight rod 26 cooperates with the stabilizing disk 24 to form a conical setting with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part. The four rotating shafts 25 are distributed in a cross shape.
[0025] A positioning assembly 4 is provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the fixing ring 22. The positioning assembly 4 includes a connecting frame 41, a connecting line 42 provided in the middle of the upper end of the connecting frame 41, and a strong magnet 43 provided at the free end of the connecting line 42 for adsorbing the counterweight rod 26. An image acquisition assembly 3 with adjustable upper and lower angles is provided on the upper end of the stabilizing disk 24. The image acquisition assembly 3 includes a U-shaped fixing buckle 31, an electric turntable 32 respectively installed on the upper left and right sides of the inner wall of the fixing buckle 31, a connecting rod 33 provided between the two electric turntables 32, and a connecting rod 33 installed in the middle of the upper end of the connecting rod 33. An image camera 34 is positioned in the middle position, and the center position of the image camera 34 corresponds to the center position of the connecting rod 33. The upper end of the connecting rod 33 is provided with a light shield 35 which is sheathed around the image camera 34 and has an opening at the front end. A solar power supply component 5 is provided on one side of the rotating component 14 in the device box 11. The solar power supply component 5 includes a battery 51, a solar controller 52 installed above the battery 51, and solar panels 53 installed at the front and rear ends of the upper end of the crawler 1. The solar panel 53 and the solar controller 52 are electrically connected to the battery 51 through a connecting line 42.
[0026] A power-assisted assembly 6 is provided on the other side of the rotating assembly 14 in the device box 11. The power-assisted assembly 6 includes a water pump 61, a water inlet pipe 62 connected to the water inlet of the water pump 61, a two-position three-way reversing valve 63 installed at the water outlet of the water pump 61 and connected thereto, and water outlet pipes 64 respectively connected to both ends of the two-position three-way reversing valve 63 and extending outward from the front and rear ends of the device box 11. One end of each water outlet pipe 64 extending out of the outer wall of the device box 11 is inclined downward and outward. The water inlet pipe 62 and each water outlet pipe 64 are arranged on the central axis of the device box 11. A plurality of air vents 8 connected thereto are provided downward at the front and rear ends of the upper end of the device box 11. A control cabinet 81 is installed on one side of the upper end of the crawler vehicle 1. A control panel 82 and a wireless network communication module 83 electrically connected to the control panel 82 and used for network communication with the control terminal are installed in the control cabinet 81. The drive motor 15, the electric push rod 2, the image acquisition assembly 3, and the power-assisted assembly 6 are all electrically connected to the control panel 82.
[0027] Usage: When using, first power on the device, then communicate with the wireless network communication module 83 in the control cabinet 81 through the control terminal, then let the strong magnet 43 of the positioning component 4 be located under the counterweight rod 26 and attract it, and thereby straighten the connecting line 42, and then control the operation of each component through the control panel 82, let the crawler 1 enter the wetland and walk, and let the image acquisition component 3 work at the same time to realize the image acquisition of plant species. When collecting images, the image acquisition component 3 can be adjusted by the rotating component 14 in the device box 11. The driving motor 15 drives the rotating disk 16 to rotate at a constant speed in the fixing hole 13, and the roller 17 can improve the smoothness of the rotation of the rotating disk 16 in the fixing hole 13. When shooting, the two electric turntables 32 on the fixing buckle 31 can drive the image capture device 34 to adjust the vertical position angle through the connecting rod 33, and the sunshade 35 can prevent sunlight from directly shining on the lens of the image capture device 34, avoiding high exposure of the shooting picture. When it is necessary to shoot picture information at a higher position, the electric push rod 2 is used to control the adjustment of its height position.
[0028] When the tracked vehicle 1 is moving and adjusting the angle of the image acquisition component 3, the stabilizing component 21 can prevent the image acquisition component 3 from shaking significantly. The rotation coordination of the rotating ring 23 and the stabilizing plate 24 can prevent the image acquisition component 3 from shaking along with the tracked vehicle 1 to a certain extent. Due to the position of the rotating shaft 25, the rotating ring 23 and the stabilizing plate 24 can be rotated forward, backward, left and right. At the same time, the counterweight rod 26 can always be parallel to the ground through its own gravity to ensure the effect of collecting picture images. When the stabilizing component 21 rotates, the connecting line 42 on the connecting frame 41 will not affect its normal rotation, and can also reduce the shaking amplitude of the stabilizing plate 24 during automatic adjustment.
[0029] If you want to shoot wetlands with water, first plug it into the fixed sleeve 71. When the tracked vehicle 1 encounters a river with water, the cooperation of the device box 11 and the buoyancy sleeve 12 can allow the tracked vehicle 1 to float on the water surface, allowing it to walk on the water surface. At the same time, the balance component 7 can increase the contact area between the tracked vehicle 1 and the water surface, avoiding the tracked vehicle 1 from tipping over during the process of wading and entering the water, thereby achieving applicability on both land and rivers, thereby improving the applicability of the device in collecting images of plant species. After wading, the power auxiliary component 6 can provide it with auxiliary power.
[0030] The water pump 61 works and extracts water from the river channel through the water inlet pipe 62. The two-position three-way reversing valve 63 is opened at the end opposite to the forward direction of the crawler vehicle 1, and the water rushes out from the corresponding outlet pipe 64. The impact of the water on the water surface provides it with a certain amount of auxiliary power. During the collection process, the solar power supply component 5 can provide a source of electricity for the device, thereby improving its endurance. The electricity generated by the solar panel 53 receiving sunlight will be stored in the battery 51 through the solar controller 52, and the heat generated by the operation of each component in the device box 11 can be dissipated through the ventilation groove 8.
[0031] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make creative modifications to this embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
