[0025] A slide groove is provided on the left side wall of the limit plate 2, and a slider 7 is installed in the slide groove to slide with the slider 7 up and down. A first mounting plate 5 is horizontally installed on the left side wall of the slider 7, and a camera 4 is installed at the bottom of the first mounting plate 5. Figure 1 As shown; in actual application, a number of freely rotatable balls are installed on all side walls of the slider 7, and the balls reduce the friction between the slider 7 and the slide groove, so that the slider 7 can slide up and down along the slide groove;

[0026] Further explanation, such as Figure 1 As shown, a rotating shaft 10 is horizontally arranged just above the support plate 12, a pull rope 8 is wound around the rotating shaft 10, one end of the pull rope 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the first mounting plate 5, and a servo motor 11 for driving the rotating shaft 10 to rotate is installed at the right end of the rotating shaft 10; this section position as a whole constitutes an adjustment component for adjusting the height of the camera 4, wherein the servo motor 11 is a driving component for driving the rotating shaft 10 to rotate;

[0027] Further explanation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, two second mounting plates 19 distributed left and right are vertically mounted on the top of the support plate 12, and mounting holes communicating left and right are opened on the two second mounting plates 19, and bearings 20 communicating left and right are installed in the mounting holes, and the left end of the rotating shaft 10 is installed in the inner ring of the bearing 20 on the left second mounting plate 19, and the right end of the rotating shaft 10 passes through the inner ring of the bearing 20 on the right second mounting plate 19;

[0028] In practical application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the servo motor 11 is installed on the top of the support plate 12 on the right side of the rotating shaft 10. After the right end of the rotating shaft 10 passes through the inner ring of the bearing 20, it is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 11 through a coupling;

[0029] In practical application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pull rope 8 is located between the two second mounting plates 19, and a through hole communicating with each other from top to bottom is opened on the support plate 12. The through hole is located just above the center position of the top of the first mounting plate 5. One end of the pull rope 8 vertically passes through the through hole and is installed at the center position of the top of the first mounting plate 5.

[0030] In actual application, the adjustment component can also be: a rotating shaft 10 is horizontally arranged directly above the support plate 12, a wire roller is mounted on the rotating shaft 10, a pull rope 8 is wound around the wire roller, the wire roller is located between the two second mounting plates 19, one end of the pull rope 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the first mounting plate 5, and a servo motor 11 for driving the rotating shaft 10 to rotate is installed at the right end of the rotating shaft 10; in actual application, the driving component can also be a stepper motor, and the output shaft of the stepper motor is connected to the right end of the rotating shaft 10 through a coupling.

[0031] During actual use, the utility model starts the servo motor 11, which drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, retracts and releases the pull rope 8, and causes the slider 7 to slide up and down along the slide groove. When the slider 7 slides, it drives the first mounting plate 5 to slide up and down. The first mounting plate 5 drives the camera 4 to slide up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the camera 4. At the same time, the camera 4 collects real-time images of the crops and monitors the growth of the crops in real time. When encountering strong winds, the slide groove limits the position of the slider 7, so that the first mounting plate 5 will not swing at will in strong winds, thereby preventing the camera 4 from swinging.
