The support tube 2 is mounted on the base 1; the camera 3 is mounted at one end of the support tube 2 in the length direction; the sleeve 4 is rotatably mounted on a side of the support tube 2 close to the camera 3; the brush 5 is arranged on the outer circumference of the sleeve 4.
[0027] The fish diversity monitoring device provided in this embodiment has a base 1 that supports the support tube 2, a camera 3 is mounted at one end of the support tube 2 in the length direction, a brush 5 is fixedly mounted on the outer circumference of a sleeve 4, the sleeve 4 is sleeved on the support tube 2 and is coaxial with the support tube 2, and the sleeve 4 is located on the side of the support tube 2 close to the camera 3. The sleeve 4 can drive the brush 5 to rotate along the axis of the support tube 2, thereby achieving the purpose of driving away the snails and preventing the snails from crawling onto the camera 3.
[0028] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A rolling bearing 201 is installed between the sleeve 4 and the support tube 2. In this embodiment, the rolling bearing 201 reduces the friction resistance between the sleeve 4 and the support tube 2, making the rotation of the sleeve 4 smoother.
[0029] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3A driving motor 202 for driving the sleeve 4 to rotate is installed inside the support tube 2. In this embodiment, the driving motor 202 is fixedly installed inside the support tube 2, and the support tube 2 protects the driving motor 202 to prevent the driving motor 202 from being contaminated. The driving motor 202 is a variable frequency motor, and the speed of the supporting tube 2 can be controlled according to actual needs, ensuring that it will not affect the normal swimming of fish and can meet the purpose of driving away snails.
[0030] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 , a driving gear 203 is installed on the rotating shaft of the driving motor 202, a transmission gear 204 meshing with the driving gear 203 is installed in the support tube 2, and a ring gear 401 meshing with the transmission gear 204 is installed inside the sleeve 4. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft of the driving motor 202 is parallel to the axial direction of the support tube 2. The support shaft of the transmission gear 204 is located inside the support tube 2, and a through hole for avoiding the transmission gear 204 is opened on the outer wall of the support tube 2. The ring gear 401 is coaxially arranged with the sleeve 4 and fixedly installed inside the sleeve 4. The transmission gear 204 meshes with the ring gear 401 and the driving gear 203 respectively.

In this embodiment, the plurality of fill lights 304 surround the periphery of the lens 302, thereby increasing the brightness of the water area near the lens 302, so that the lens 302 can capture clearer videos or photos of fish.
[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , an ultrasonic probe 305 is disposed on the outer wall of the housing 301. In this embodiment, since the housing 301 adopts a square structure, the ultrasonic probes 305 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the housing 301. The ultrasonic probe 305 is used to detect whether there are fish in front of the camera 3.
[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , and further includes a buoy 6, on which a solar panel 7 is mounted, and the solar panel 7 is connected to the drive motor 202 through a power line 8. In this embodiment, the buoy 6 is suspended on the water surface by buoyancy, and the solar panel 7 can convert light energy into electrical energy, and then provide electrical energy to the drive motor 202 through the power line 8, thereby ensuring that the drive motor 202 continues to work. The solar panel 7 can also provide electrical energy for the camera 3, the ultrasonic probe 305 and other electrical components.
