Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of surveillance cameras, and more particularly to an intelligent camera based on microwave communication. Background Technology

[0002] In field environmental monitoring, wireless surveillance camera systems based on microwave communication technology have become one of the core technologies for solving data transmission challenges in remote areas due to their unique physical characteristics and deployment advantages. Compared to the costly ground installation of fiber optic or coaxial cables, microwave systems can achieve point-to-point data transmission over distances of 5 to 80 kilometers or even longer within open line-of-sight using parabolic or directional antennas. This is particularly crucial for nature reserves, forest fire prevention zones, or monitoring points across islands with complex terrain and underdeveloped roads. Microwave systems possess extremely high bandwidth and transmission capacity, enabling real-time transmission of multiple high-definition video streams. It also has extremely low latency characteristics, ensuring that the monitoring center can obtain continuous and clear real-time images, meeting the high-precision requirements for wildlife behavior research and illegal activity monitoring. The camera components and antenna structures of wireless surveillance camera systems are often rigid and stationary. Especially when the camera components are installed close to the ground, they are easy targets for wild animals. In many nature reserves, wild boars, deer or other large mammals often damage the camera shell, tilt the antenna or bite off the support rod in defense or foraging behavior, which accelerates the physical wear and aging of the equipment, leading to equipment failure or signal interruption. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the technical problem that wireless surveillance camera systems, due to their installation height being close to the ground, are easily targeted by wild animals, leading to accelerated physical wear and aging of the equipment, this invention provides an intelligent camera based on microwave communication.

[0004] Technical Solution: A smart camera based on microwave communication includes a battery pack, a microwave antenna module, a torsion spring, an electric telescopic rod, a swing housing, a monitoring camera, and a flash. The microwave antenna module is integrated on the battery pack. The swing housing is rotatably connected to the battery pack. A torsion spring is fixedly connected between the battery pack and the swing housing. The electric telescopic rod is integrated on the battery pack. A groove structure is formed inside the swing housing. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod extends into and abuts against the groove structure of the swing housing to drive its swing. The monitoring camera is integrated on the front side of the battery pack. The monitoring camera integrates a processor for running a wildlife intelligent recognition algorithm. The monitoring camera integrates a flash.

[0005] Furthermore, a buzzer is integrated into the battery pack.

[0006] Furthermore, a slide rail is slidably connected to the battery pack, and the microwave antenna module is mounted on the slide rail; an electric lifting push rod is installed on the slide rail to move the battery pack up and down.

[0007] Furthermore, several electrically insulating guard rods protecting the microwave antenna module are fixed to the slide rail frame.

[0008] Furthermore, a steel plate is connected inside the swing shell; several steel plates protruding from the swing shell are fixed to the steel plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the steel plate is slidably connected to the swing protective shell; a cushioning pad is fixed to the battery pack in close contact with the steel plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the battery pack integrates an electric heater that heats the steel plates and sheets.

[0011] Furthermore, the swing-type protective shell has a heat dissipation groove structure.

[0012] Furthermore, a cutting blade is fixed to the bottom of the swinging protective shell.

[0013] Furthermore, the cutting blade has several serrated structures.

[0014] Beneficial Effects: This invention provides a microwave communication-based intelligent camera. A monitoring camera is mounted on a battery pack, which also includes a swing-type protective shell and a sliding rail for vandal protection. When the monitoring camera detects approaching wild animals through an intelligent recognition system, an electric telescopic rod, in conjunction with a torsion spring, drives the swing-type protective shell to swing back and forth, activating a flash and buzzer to scare away the animals. When the intelligent recognition system determines that a wild animal is attacking the swing-type protective shell, an electric heater is activated to heat the steel plate and steel sheet. Simultaneously, the swing-type protective shell drives the steel sheet to swing back and forth. The high temperature, combined with the sharp edge structure of the steel sheet, strongly stimulates the wild animal's skin, deterring it from approaching and enhancing the deterrent effect. This invention solves the technical problem that when the wireless monitoring camera system is installed close to the ground, it easily becomes a target for wild animals, accelerating the physical wear and aging of the equipment. Furthermore, the swing-type protective shell's reciprocating motion drives a cutting blade to saw off obstructing plant stems and leaves, reducing the frequency of manual cleanup by management personnel.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Example 1: A smart camera based on microwave communication, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the system includes a battery pack 1, a microwave antenna module 11, a torsion spring 12, an electric telescopic rod 13, a swing housing 2, a monitoring camera 3, a flash 4, and a buzzer 5. The microwave antenna module 11 is integrated into the battery pack 1. The swing housing 2 is rotatably connected to the battery pack 1, and the rotation axis of the swing housing 2 coincides with the middle of the battery pack 1. A torsion spring 12 is fixedly connected between the battery pack 1 and the swing housing 2. The electric telescopic rod 13 is integrated into the battery pack 1 and is powered by the battery pack 1. The swing housing... The battery pack 2 has a groove structure 201 for aligning the electric telescopic rod 13; the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 13 is in close contact with the groove structure 201 of the swing protective shell 2; a monitoring camera 3 is integrated in the front middle part of the battery pack 1, and the monitoring camera 3 is powered by the battery pack 1; the monitoring camera 3 has a processor integrated for running a wildlife intelligent recognition algorithm; a flash 4 is integrated on the monitoring camera 3, and the flash 4 is powered by the battery pack 1; a buzzer 5 is integrated on the left and right sides of the battery pack 1, and the buzzer 5 is powered by the battery pack 1.

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, a slide rail 61 is slidably connected to the battery pack 1, and the microwave antenna module 11 is mounted upward through the slide rail 61. Two electric lifting push rods 62 are installed on the slide rail 61, and the battery pack 1 supplies power to the electric lifting push rods 62. The telescopic ends of the two electric lifting push rods 62 are fixedly connected to the battery pack 1. Several electrically insulating guard rods 63 are fixedly connected to the slide rail 61 to protect the microwave antenna module 11. The electrically insulating guard rods 63 isolate and protect the microwave antenna module 11, preventing wild animals from directly contacting the microwave antenna module 11. The electrically insulating guard rods 63 are made of fiberglass. Fiberglass has minimal attenuation and reflection of electromagnetic waves, allowing radar or communication antenna signals to pass through smoothly without interfering with signal transmission and reception. In addition, fiberglass has high mechanical strength and elastic modulus, providing excellent anti-vandalism and isolation protection.

[0020] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a steel plate 71 is slidably connected inside the swing housing 2; several steel pieces 72 protruding from the swing housing 2 are fixed on the steel plate 71, and all steel pieces 72 are set as arc structures with the same center, the center of the arc structure coincides with the middle of the battery pack 1; a buffer pad 73 is fixed on the battery pack 1, and the buffer pad 73 is in close contact with the steel plate 71.

[0021] The manager fixes the slide rail bracket 61 of the intelligent camera based on microwave communication of the present invention to the tree trunk of the field monitoring site, so that the battery pack 1 and the swing shell 2 on the slide rail bracket 61 are integrated with the tree trunk. The swing shell 2 and the slide rail bracket 61 can also be coated with a waterproof camouflage coating similar to the texture of the tree trunk to reduce the presence of the swing shell 2 and the slide rail bracket 61 to be noticed by wild animals. The monitoring camera 3 monitors and shoots the field monitoring site. At the same time, the microwave antenna module 11 transmits the monitoring and shooting images of the monitoring camera 3 to the microwave communication receiving terminal of the manager in real time through microwave communication technology, realizing long-distance monitoring and transmission.

[0022] During continuous monitoring and filming, when the surveillance camera 3 intelligently detects an approaching wild animal, it continuously records and analyzes the animal's movement trajectory. When the system detects that the wild animal is approaching the swing housing 2, the electric telescopic rod 13 reciprocates against the groove structure 201 of the swing housing 2. When the electric telescopic rod 13 pushes the swing housing 2 to rotate, the swing housing 2 drives the torsion spring 12 to twist. When the electric telescopic rod 13 leaves the swing housing 2, the torsion spring 12 drives the swing housing 2 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset. This achieves the effect of the electric telescopic rod 13 reciprocating against the swing housing 2, which, in conjunction with the torsion spring 12, drives the swing housing 2 to continuously generate violent reciprocating swings, creating a visual warning and deterrent to the wild animal. At the same time, the flashlight 4 continuously flashes strong light at the wild animal, creating a strong visual warning impact. Simultaneously, the buzzer 5 continuously emits an alarm sound, creating a strong auditory warning impact to the wild animal. Under the multiple warnings, the approaching wild animal is effectively scared away, preventing the wild animal from damaging the microwave antenna module 11 on the battery pack 1 and the surveillance camera 3.

[0023] During the aforementioned multiple warning procedures for wild animals, if a wild animal rashly approaches and attempts to damage the swing shell 2, the electric lifting push rod 62 drives the battery pack 1 and the swing shell 2 to move up and down along the slide rail 61, making it difficult for the wild animal to accurately aim at the location of the monitoring camera 3 inside the swing shell 2. At the same time, the swing shell 2 drives the steel plate 72 on the steel plate 71 to swing back and forth synchronously, making it easier for the limbs of the wild animal to come into contact with the swinging steel plate 72. When the sharp edge structure of the swinging steel plate 72 scratches the skin of the wild animal, it will stimulate the skin of the wild animal, causing the wild animal to feel pain and no longer dare to approach, thus driving away the wild animal. When the limbs of the wild animal hit the steel plate 72, they will push the steel plate 72 and the steel plate 71 along the swing shell 2 towards the buffer pad 73. The buffer pad 73 will buffer and absorb the impact force on the steel plate 72, reducing the damage to the battery pack 1 inside the swing shell 2.

[0024] Example 2, as Figures 1-6As shown, based on the above embodiment, the battery pack 1 integrates an electric heater 8, which is powered by the battery pack 1, and the heating element of the electric heater 8 is in close contact with the steel plate 71; the swing shell 2 has a heat dissipation groove structure 202; when the monitoring camera 3 intelligently identifies that wild animals are damaging or attacking the swing shell 2, the electric heater 8 promptly heats the steel plate 71 and the steel sheet 72, so that the steel sheet 72 is heated to a high temperature not exceeding 65°C. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 13, in conjunction with the torsion spring 12, controls the swing shell 2 to drive the steel sheet 72 on the steel plate 71 to swing back and forth. When wild animals come into contact with the steel sheet 72, the electric heater 8 heats the steel plate 71 and the steel sheet 72 to swing back and forth. When the heated steel sheet 72 is in a high-temperature state, it continuously scratches across the skin of wild animals. The high temperature heat, combined with the sharp edge structure of the steel sheet 72, strongly stimulates the skin of wild animals, making them afraid to approach and enhancing the effect of driving them away. However, since the high temperature of the heated steel sheet 72 does not exceed 65°C, it will not cause serious damage to the skin of wild animals. It only serves as a warning to keep wild animals away. After the wild animals are driven away, the electric heater 8 stops heating, and the heat dissipation groove structure 202 on the swinging protective shell 2 promptly dissipates the high temperature environment around the monitoring camera 3.

[0025] Example 3, as Figures 1-6 As shown, based on the above embodiment 2, a cutting blade 9 is fixedly attached to the bottom of the swing housing 2, and the cutting blade 9 is in close contact with the steel plate 71; the bottom of the cutting blade 9 is provided with several serrated structures 901; when the installation height of the monitoring camera 3 is close to the ground, as the monitoring camera 3 continuously monitors and shoots in the field for a long time, the plants directly below the monitoring camera 3 continue to grow upward. After the plants grow taller, their stems and leaves will block the shooting image of the monitoring camera 3. After the monitoring camera 3 intelligently recognizes that the image is blocked by the plant stem and leaf structure, the electric lifting push rod 62 pushes... The swinging protective shell 2 drives the cutting blade 9 to move downwards. The swinging protective shell 2 bends the stem and leaf structure of the plant below downwards. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 13, in conjunction with the torsion spring 12, controls the swinging protective shell 2 to drive the cutting blade 9 to swing back and forth. The cutting blade 9, which swings back and forth and moves downwards, cuts the bent stem and leaf structure of the plant below through the saw tooth structure 901, effectively clearing the plant stem and leaf structure that is causing obstruction. This embodiment realizes the automated clearing of the plant stem and leaf structure that is causing obstruction, reducing the number of times management personnel need to go to the site for manual cleaning.
