Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ecological observation and photography auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to a bird monitoring device and video monitoring method. Background Technology
[0002] With increasing awareness of ecological conservation and the development of photographic technology, more and more researchers and bird enthusiasts are using automated monitoring devices to capture bird habitats, feeding, and flight patterns. However, existing bird video monitoring devices still have many significant technical shortcomings in practical use: Firstly, most existing monitoring devices directly expose their lenses to the outside environment or only use simple static camouflage. Birds have extremely high visual acuity, and the lens glass of lenses exposed for extended periods is prone to glare in sunlight. Furthermore, the shape of the black lens resembles the eye of a predator, easily alerting and alarming birds, causing them to avoid approaching or fly away quickly. In addition, lenses exposed to the wild environment for long periods are easily contaminated by rain, dust, and bird droppings, resulting in blurry images and increased maintenance costs.
[0003] Secondly, traditional automatic monitoring devices mostly use infrared thermal sensing or image motion detection to trigger shooting. This method requires the sensor to be in standby power-consuming state all day, resulting in poor battery life in the wild and inconvenience in frequently changing batteries. At the same time, there is an inherent time delay between the electronic sensor's sleep state and the start of recording. Often, by the time the movement is captured, the bird has already flown away from the best shooting position, resulting in "missed shots" or only tail feathers being captured. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a bird monitoring device and video surveillance method to address the problems of existing technologies.
[0005] To address the problems of existing technologies, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a bird monitoring device, comprising a camouflage stake with a built-in receiving cavity, a shooting window on the periphery of the camouflage stake, a rotating mechanism and a lifting mechanism within the camouflage stake, the rotating mechanism having a mounting position for mounting a shooting module, the lifting mechanism comprising a drive part extending into the camouflage stake and a support part extending out of the camouflage stake, and the lifting mechanism can only move axially relative to the camouflage stake, the support part of the lifting mechanism having a perching force-bearing component for birds to rest and receive their weight, and the perching force-bearing component being located beside the shooting window, a motion conversion mechanism for establishing a motion coupling relationship between the drive part of the lifting mechanism and the rotating mechanism, when the perching force-bearing component bears the weight of a bird, the motion conversion mechanism converts the linear motion of the lifting mechanism into the rotational motion of the rotating mechanism, thereby driving the mounting position of the shooting module to rotate from the concealed back side to face the shooting window.
[0006] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a base and a rotating spindle. The base is fixedly mounted on the inner bottom wall of the camouflage stake, and a ball bearing is provided inside the base. The rotating spindle is vertically arranged, with its lower end extending into the base and connected to the ball bearing. The mounting position is fixedly located at the top of the rotating spindle.
[0007] Furthermore, the motion conversion mechanism includes a sliding sleeve and a guide pin. The sliding sleeve is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the rotating spindle, and the driving part of the lifting mechanism is connected to the sliding sleeve. A spiral guide groove is provided on the outer wall of the rotating spindle. The guide pin is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve and extends radially along the rotating spindle. One end of the guide pin passes through the sliding sleeve and is inserted into the spiral guide groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the top of the camouflage stake is provided with an installation opening, and a sealing cover plate is fixedly installed inside the installation opening. The driving part of the lifting mechanism is an inverted U-shaped frame. The upper half of the inverted U-shaped frame is located outside the camouflage stake, and the lower half passes through the sealing cover plate and extends into the camouflage stake. The lower half of the inverted U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve through a horizontal connecting rod. The sealing cover plate is provided with guide sleeves fitted onto the two vertical sections of the inverted U-shaped frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the support part of the lifting mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged bent rods. One end of each bent rod is horizontally arranged and fixed to the inverted U-shaped frame, and the other end is vertically downward and extends toward the shooting window. The perching force-bearing component is a perching bar that is horizontally arranged and fixed to the two bent rods.
[0010] Furthermore, the rotating mandrel is fitted with a support ring located below the sliding sleeve, and the support ring is fixedly connected to the camouflage stake. A convex ring is coaxially formed at the bottom end of the sliding sleeve, and a spring is provided between the convex ring and the support ring, which is sleeved on the rotating mandrel.
[0011] Furthermore, the lower half of the inverted U-shaped frame is fixedly provided with an arc-shaped shield that covers the shooting window from inside the camouflage stake.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall of the rotating mandrel is provided with a straight groove located below the spiral guide groove. The upper end of the straight groove is connected to the lower end of the spiral guide groove, and the lower end of the straight groove is a closed structure.
[0013] Furthermore, a feeding trough located next to the perching bar is fixed between the two bent rods.
[0014] A method for video surveillance of birds includes the following steps: S1. Energy is collected and stored in the battery by a solar power module installed on the surface of the camouflage pile, so that the shooting module and communication module are in a low-power standby state, and the shooting module is initially in a concealed position with its back to the shooting window. S2. When a bird lands on the perch, the bird's gravity drives the lifting mechanism to descend and activates the rotating mechanism, causing the shooting module to rotate to face the shooting window. At the same time, the sliding sleeve descends to trigger the limit switch located at the end of its travel, waking the shooting module from standby mode and starting video recording. S3: The shooting module acquires real-time video streams and uses the built-in AI algorithm module to perform species identification and behavioral characteristic analysis on the birds in the video footage; S4. The identified bird metadata and captured feature videos are uploaded to the cloud server in real time through the communication module, and backed up and managed in the local storage module. The S5 cloud server aggregates and processes the uploaded data, generates bird activity monitoring reports, and supports users to remotely view videos, perform data statistics, and monitor equipment status via remote terminals. S6. After the birds fly away, the spring's elastic potential energy drives the lifting and rotating mechanisms to reset, causing the shooting module to rotate back to the concealed position on the back side. The limit switch is then disconnected, and the system returns to a low-power standby state.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are: Firstly, this invention, through the linkage of the rotating and lifting mechanisms, ensures that the mounting position of the shooting module is initially in a concealed position facing away from the shooting window, only rotating to face the window when a bird lands on the perching support. This avoids the glare caused by the shooting module being exposed to the window for extended periods and the "big eye effect" similar to biological eyes, thereby eliminating the visual fear birds experience when they approach and facilitating close-up capture of their natural movements. Secondly, this invention directly converts the gravity of a bird landing on its perch into the power to drive the camera module to rotate through a motion conversion mechanism, thus converting the linear motion of the lifting mechanism into rotational motion. This process relies entirely on mechanical transmission, eliminating the need for an electric motor, significantly reducing the overall power consumption of the device, solving the problem of poor battery life caused by reliance on sensors and motors in field monitoring equipment, and also avoiding noise interference generated by the motor during operation. Thirdly, this invention employs a physical contact-based gravity triggering logic. Only when a real bird actually lands on the perching support and applies gravity will the camera module be activated to rotate and take a picture. Compared to the infrared sensing or image motion detection commonly used in existing technologies, this physical triggering method effectively avoids false triggering caused by environmental factors such as wind, grass movement, and changes in light and shadow, saving storage space and improving the effectiveness of monitoring data.

[0018] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0019] refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this invention provides a bird monitoring device, the main structure of which includes a simulated camouflage stake 1. The camouflage stake 1 is preferably designed in the shape of a dead tree stump, tree trunk, or natural rock. The outer surface of the camouflage stake 1 and all exposed components are coated with biomimetic paint or decorated with simulated bark texture, allowing it to blend perfectly into the natural environment and reduce birds' wariness. Furthermore, the shell of the camouflage stake 1 is preferably made of a material with sound-absorbing and vibration-damping properties to minimize the faint noise generated by the internal mechanism during operation. The camouflage stake 1 has an internal cavity, and a shooting window 2 is provided at a predetermined height on its side wall for the internal shooting module to view the scene. A base 4 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the camouflage stake 1. A high-precision ball bearing 6 is embedded in the base 4, and the lower end of a rotating spindle 5 is inserted into the inner ring of the ball bearing 6, allowing the rotating spindle 5 to rotate flexibly relative to the camouflage stake 1. The top of the rotating spindle 5 is fixedly provided with a mounting position 3, which is used to fix and install the shooting module (such as a high-definition camera). In the initial state, the mounting position 3 faces away from the shooting window 2, that is, the shooting module faces the inner wall of the camouflage stake 1 and is in a concealed back position.
[0020] To enable automatic rotation and repositioning of the shooting module, a special guide groove structure is machined on the outer wall of the rotating spindle 5. This guide groove includes a spiral guide groove 9 in the upper section and a straight groove 19 smoothly communicating with the lower end of the spiral guide groove 9, wherein the lower end of the straight groove 19 is closed. A sliding sleeve 7 is coaxially fitted around the outside of the rotating spindle 5. A guide pin 8 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 7, and the end of the guide pin 8 passes through the wall of the sliding sleeve 7 and slides into the spiral guide groove 9. Below the sliding sleeve 7, a support ring 15 is also fitted on the rotating spindle 5. This support ring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the camouflage stake 1, serving as a fixed support reference. A raised ring 16 is formed on the bottom end face of the sliding sleeve 7, and a spring 17, fitted around the rotating spindle 5, is installed between the raised ring 16 and the support ring 15. The spring constant of the spring 17 is precisely calculated and selected so that the upward elastic support force it generates can support the lifting mechanism in the upper position when unloaded. However, when a set type of bird (such as a common medium-sized bird) lands on the device, the gravity generated by the bird's weight can overcome the elastic force of the spring 17, forcing the sliding sleeve 7 to move downward.
[0021] The lifting mechanism extends through a specific structure to interact with the external environment from the camouflage post 1. Specifically, the top of the camouflage post 1 has an installation opening, which is sealed with a sealing cover plate 10. The drive unit of the lifting mechanism adopts an inverted U-shaped frame 11 structure. The two vertical sections of the inverted U-shaped frame 11 extend into the interior of the camouflage post 1 through guide sleeves 12 on the sealing cover plate 10. The presence of the guide sleeves 12 restricts the inverted U-shaped frame 11 to slide vertically only, and prevents it from rotating circumferentially relative to the camouflage post 1. The lower end of the inverted U-shaped frame 11 inside the camouflage post 1 is fixedly connected to the aforementioned sliding sleeve 7 via a horizontal connecting rod, thereby establishing a rigid connection between the external force-bearing component and the internal transmission component. In the upper half of the inverted U-shaped frame 11 extending outside the camouflage post 1, a support unit is connected. This support unit consists of two symmetrically arranged bent rods 13. One end of the bent rod 13 is fixed to the inverted U-shaped frame 11, and the other end extends downward to the side of the shooting window 2, with a horizontal perching bar 14 fixed at the end. To attract birds, a feeding trough 20 is fixed between the two bent poles 13. The feeding trough 20 is located next to the perch 14 to induce birds to stay there for a long time.
[0022] An arc-shaped shield 18 is fixedly installed in the lower half of the inverted U-shaped frame 11 inside the camouflage stake 1. The arc-shaped shield 18 is slightly larger than the shooting window 2. In the initial untriggered state, under the elastic force of the spring 17, the sliding sleeve 7 and the inverted U-shaped frame 11 are at the highest point of their stroke (i.e., the upper position). At this time, the arc-shaped shield 18 is exactly located inside the shooting window 2, completely covering the shooting window 2, so that the internal structure cannot be seen from the outside, thus playing a role in dust prevention and camouflage; at the same time, since the guide pin 8 is located at the upper end of the spiral guide groove 9, the rotating spindle 5 is limited to a specific angle, so that the shooting module installed at its top faces away from the shooting window 2 (i.e., in a concealed back position), ensuring that the core electronic components are physically protected and highly concealed in the standby state.
[0023] When a bird is attracted by the feeding trough 20 and lands on the perch 14, its weight acts directly on the perch support, transmitted through the bending rod 13 to the inverted U-shaped frame 11, which in turn compresses the sliding sleeve 7 downwards. During this process, the spring 17 not only provides support and reset, but its progressive compression resistance also simulates the tactile sensation of a real tree branch bending and sinking under pressure. This sinking experience, similar to the elastic deformation of a tree branch in nature, will not alarm the bird, ensuring it can perch safely. Simultaneously, because this device uses a purely mechanical transmission to drive the shooting module's rotation, compared to motor-driven systems, its internal components operate smoothly and fit tightly. Combined with the sound-absorbing material shielding the camouflage stake 1's outer shell, the entire process of the sliding sleeve 7 descending and the rotating spindle 5 rotating is almost silent, completely avoiding any disturbance to the birds caused by mechanical motor noise or gear meshing sounds.
[0024] As the sliding sleeve 7 descends linearly along the axial direction, the guide pin 8 on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 7 is forced to descend along the spiral guide groove 9 on the rotating spindle 5. The pressure exerted by the guide pin 8 on the side wall of the spiral groove generates torque, forcing the rotating spindle 5 (and the shooting module on it) to overcome the bearing friction and rotate. By rationally designing the lead and length of the spiral guide groove 9, the sliding sleeve 7 drives the rotating spindle 5 to rotate 180 degrees during its descent. At the same time, as the inverted U-shaped frame 11 descends, the arc-shaped cover 18 fixed on it also moves down, and the lowest point of the arc-shaped cover 18 after moving down with the inverted U-shaped frame 11 is below the bottom edge of the shooting window 2, thus opening the shooting window 2; and the shooting module, after rotating 180 degrees, rotates from the back side to face the now-open shooting window 2.
[0025] When the sliding sleeve 7 descends to the end of its stroke, the guide pin 8 enters the lower straight groove 19 from the spiral guide groove 9. At this point, the rotation stops, and the shooting module is precisely locked at an angle facing the shooting window 2. Due to the restriction of the straight groove 19, even if the bird jumps on the perch 14, the shooting module will not sway left or right, ensuring the stability of the image. Since the perch 14 is close to the shooting window 2, and the shooting module is now facing the bird, it can clearly capture dynamic close-up images of the bird pecking at food and preening its feathers. The moment the bird finishes eating and flies away from the perch 14, the gravitational load disappears, the compression spring 17 releases the stored elastic potential energy, and quickly pushes the sliding sleeve 7 upward to reset. During the reset process, the guide pin 8 rises in the opposite direction along the spiral guide groove 9, driving the rotating spindle 5 to rotate 180 degrees in the opposite direction, causing the shooting module to rotate back to the back side; at the same time, the inverted U-shaped bracket 11 drives the arc-shaped cover 18 to move upward and re-cover the window. It is worth mentioning that during the brief delay after the bird takes off (i.e., while the guide pin 8 is sliding within the straight groove 19), the shooting module remains operational, capable of capturing the exciting dynamic moments of the bird taking off and spreading its wings, until the shooting module is completely reset and returns to the standby concealed state. In actual use, a limit switch (not shown in the figure) can be added at the end of the downward movement of the sliding sleeve 7. When the sliding sleeve 7 descends to the end of its travel, the power to the shooting module can be turned on by contact or touch, thereby waking up the shooting module in standby mode. Similarly, when the sliding sleeve 7 rises, the limit switch automatically turns off after losing contact, and the shooting module will eventually enter standby mode.
[0026] This embodiment further provides a bird video monitoring method based on the device and its system operation logic. Specifically, in order to achieve long-term and intelligent field monitoring, this embodiment integrates and installs a solar power module on the upper surface of the sealing cover plate 10 of the camouflage stake 1, and connects it to a battery located at the bottom of the camouflage stake 1 through a wire. The solar power module and the battery are both mature existing energy security technologies in the field, and their specific circuit design and selection are known to those skilled in the art.
[0027] When the system is in its initial standby state, the shooting module on mounting position 3 faces away from the shooting window 2, and the system is in a low-power sleep mode to save power. When the target bird lands on the perch 14, its gravity acts directly on the lifting mechanism, forcing the inverted U-shaped bracket 11 and the sliding sleeve 7 to move downwards against the elastic force of the spring 17. During this process, through the mechanical linkage between the guide pin 8 and the spiral guide groove 9, the rotating spindle 5 drives the shooting module to rotate precisely 180 degrees to face the shooting window 2, and at the same time, the arc-shaped cover 18 moves down to open the viewfinder.
[0028] When the sliding sleeve 7 reaches the end of its travel, it triggers the limit switch inside the device by physical contact, instantly waking up the system and connecting the power supply. At this time, the intelligent shooting module integrated on the mounting position 3 starts to work. This module has a built-in communication module, a local storage module, and an AI algorithm module (it should be noted that each module in the module belongs to a very mature and standardized technical component in the field of monitoring equipment, which can be implemented by directly calling existing general software and hardware solutions, and will not be elaborated here).
[0029] During the operation of the shooting module, the AI algorithm module analyzes the video stream in real time, automatically identifies the species of birds, and intelligently tags their foraging, calling, and other characteristic behaviors. The structured data and keyframe video are then uploaded to a remote monitoring platform in real time via the communication module, while the high-definition raw video is temporarily stored locally. When a bird is detected flying away from the perch 14, the gravity load disappears, the mechanism quickly resets under the action of spring 17, the shooting module returns to its concealed rear position, and the limit switch disconnects, returning the system to low-power standby mode.
[0030] The above embodiments only illustrate one or more implementations of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
