[0034] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 The utility model is further described.

[0035] In order to solve the problems existing in the background technology, the present application proposes the following technical solutions: it includes a mounting plate 1, on which an information collection box 2 is detachably mounted, the information collection box 2 is used to collect and record the behavior information and sound information data of the animal, so as to facilitate the subsequent animal multi-mode communication research, and the detachable installation can effectively reduce the overall volume of the mounting plate 1 and the information collection box 2, and is more convenient to use outdoors, the mounting plate 1 and the information collection box 2 can be threadedly connected or fixed by snapping, three groups of fixing seats 5 are fixedly connected under the mounting plate 1, and the three groups of fixing seats 5 are all rotatably mounted with a first leg 6, an adjustment block 8 is fixedly mounted under the first leg 6, and a second leg 9 is fixedly connected under the adjustment block 8, a movable groove 17 is opened on the second leg 9, a slider 18 is slidably mounted in the movable groove 17, a support rod 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 18, and the support rod 10 is slidably connected to the bottom of the second leg 9.

[0036] After rotating the first leg 6 and the second leg 9 to a suitable angle, the information collection box 2 is supported on the ground by three groups of the first leg 6 and the second leg 9. When the ground in the use environment is uneven or has a slope, pull the slider 18 in the second leg 9 corresponding to the low position, and the slider 18 drives the support rod 10 to slide out of the second leg 9. The overall length of the first leg 6, the second leg 9 and the support rod 10 increases, so that the mounting plate 1 is in a horizontal state, thereby placing the information collection box 2 stably on the ground.

[0037] It is further explained that a mounting cavity 19 is opened at the upper end of the slider 18, and a first threaded rod 20 is threadedly connected in the mounting cavity 19. A first bevel gear 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the first threaded rod 20, and a second bevel gear 22 is meshed with one side of the first bevel gear 21. A rotating rod 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the second bevel gear 22. The rotating rod 23 is rotatably installed in the adjusting block 8, and a knob 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 23 away from the second bevel gear 22. The knob 24 is arranged on the outside of the adjusting block 8.

[0038] The first bevel gear 21, the second bevel gear 22 and the rotating rod 23 are all installed inside the adjusting block 8. A space for their installation is provided inside the adjusting block 8. The rotating rod 23 is driven to rotate by turning the knob 24. The rotating rod 23 drives the second bevel gear 22 to rotate. The second bevel gear 22 drives the first bevel gear 21 to rotate. The first bevel gear 21 drives the first threaded rod 20 to rotate. The rotation of the first threaded rod 20 drives the slider 18 to move in the moving groove 17. The slider 18 can be controlled to move upward or downward in the moving groove 17 by rotating the knob 24 forward and reverse. The slider 18 drives the support rod 10 to extend or retract from the second leg 9 to change the overall length of the first leg 6, the second leg 9 and the support rod 10 to adapt to uneven or sloping ground, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0039] It is further explained that a limiting groove 25 is provided on the inner wall of the moving groove 17 , and a limiting block 26 is slidably installed in the limiting groove 25 , and the limiting block 26 is fixedly connected to two sides of the sliding block 18 .

[0040] The limiting groove 25 guides and limits the limiting block 26, thereby guiding and limiting the slider 18, preventing the slider 18 from rotating itself when the first threaded rod 20 rotates, improving the stability of the slider 18 when moving in the moving groove 17, and thus improving the stability of the device during use.

[0041] It is further explained that an image collection module 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the information collection box 2, and a sound collection module 4 is fixedly installed on both sides of the information collection box 2.

[0042] The image collection module 3 is used to record animal behavior information, such as recording animal behavior, etc. The sound collection module 4 is used to record animal sound information, such as recording the calls made by animals, etc., to provide original data for animal multi-mode communication research.

[0043] It is further explained that a fixing cylinder 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 1 , a moving block 28 is slidably installed inside the fixing cylinder 12 , and a connecting rod 14 is provided between the moving block 28 and the first leg 6 .

[0044] The connecting rod 14 is driven to move by sliding the moving block 28 inside the fixed tube 12, and the connecting rod 14 drives the first leg 6 to rotate to make the first leg 6 unfold or close. When the first leg 6 is unfolded, it is in use and can well support the information collection box 2. When the first leg 6 is combined, it is in a storage state, which reduces the overall volume of the device, facilitates carrying when used outdoors, and improves the practicality of the device.

[0045] It is further explained that a motor 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 12, and a driving shaft of the motor 13 passes through the bottom of the fixed cylinder 12 and is coaxially fixedly connected with a second threaded rod 27, the top end of the second threaded rod 27 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 1, and the second threaded rod 27 is threadedly connected to the moving block 28.

[0046] The motor 13 can drive the second threaded rod 27 to rotate, and the second threaded rod 27 pushes the moving block 28 to move up and down. The motor 13 can control the moving block 28 to move up and down to drive the connecting rod 14 to move to realize the expansion or closure of the first leg 6. The setting of the motor 13 and the second threaded rod 27 facilitates the adjustment of the expansion angle of the first leg 6, thereby improving the convenience of using the device.

[0047] It is further explained that three groups of slide grooves 16 are opened on the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 12 , and the mounting seats 15 are slidably installed in the three groups of slide grooves 16 , and one end of the mounting seat 15 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the moving block 28 .

[0048] The slide groove 16 can guide and limit the mounting seat 15 and further guide and limit the moving block 28 to prevent the moving block 28 from rotating while the second threaded rod 27 rotates, thereby improving the stability of the moving block 28 when moving in the fixed cylinder 12.

[0050] When the moving block 28 moves upward, the moving block 28 drives the mounting seat 15 to move upward, and the mounting seat 15 drives the connecting rod 14 to move upward. The other end of the connecting rod 14 drives the first leg 6 to rotate toward the fixed tube 12, so that the first leg 6 is closed to reduce the overall volume. Conversely, the first leg 6 rotates away from the fixed tube 12, so that the first leg 6 is unfolded, which is convenient for use to support the information collection box 2.

[0051] It is further explained that the bottom of the three groups of support rods 10 are all rotatably mounted with ground claw plates 11. The ground claw plates 11 increase the friction between the ground and the ground, so that the device is not easy to slide when placed on the ground, thereby improving the stability of the device and being more suitable for outdoor use.
