It mainly collects water quality parameters in real time through aquaculture equipment and water quality sensors, and realizes functions such as real-time data query, historical data curve viewing, and data abnormality alarm. Aquaculture APP, smart aquaculture cloud platform and smart aquaculture system can remotely control aerators, feeding machines, dosing machines and other equipment through intelligent data controllers to achieve automatic oxygenation, automatic feeding, remote control of water pumps, automatic dosing to improve water quality and other functions.

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-3 A monitoring device for aquaculture based on the Internet of Things includes a reinforced concrete stone column 1, which is fixedly buried in an aquaculture pool, and the top of the reinforced concrete stone column 1 is slightly higher than the water surface. Figure 3 , away from the shore to prevent passers-by from intentionally damaging the present application. A support vertical rod 2 is coaxially fixedly installed on the top of the reinforced concrete stone column 1. The reinforced concrete stone column 1 and the support vertical rod 2 are the basic supporting elements in the present application;

[0025] A cylinder 4 is vertically fixedly installed on the top of the supporting vertical rod 2, and a right-angle rotating rod 5 is rotatably installed in the cylinder 4 through a bearing. The right-angle rotating rod 5 is driven by a power source to change the direction of the end of the right-angle rotating rod 5. It can be vertically upward or vertically downward, pointing to the water surface below, thereby changing the monitoring and shooting direction of the underwater camera 11 described below. The power source is specifically composed of a reduction motor, which is connected to an external power supply through a wire. The output shaft of the reduction motor is fixedly connected to the head end of the right-angle rotating rod 5 through a coupling. A motor rainproof box 3 is fixedly provided on the periphery of the reduction motor, and the motor rainproof box 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the supporting vertical rod 2. Most pools used for aquaculture are installed outdoors, so the reduction motor needs to be waterproofed by the motor rainproof box 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, a control arm 12 is coaxially mounted at the end of the right-angle rotating rod 5, and the vertical plane where the control arm 12 rotates is parallel to the supporting vertical rod 2. A steering gear 15 is fixedly mounted between the end of the right-angle rotating rod 5 and the control arm 12, and a rainproof cylindrical box 6 is fixedly mounted on the periphery of the steering gear 15. The rainproof cylindrical box 6 is combined with the following waterproof cover 7 to provide waterproof protection for the internal steering gear 15, that is, the steering gear 15 is sealed and installed between the rainproof cylindrical box 6 and the waterproof cover 7, and the rainproof cylindrical box 6 is fixedly mounted on the end of the right-angle rotating rod 5;

[0027] When the reduction motor drives the end of the right-angle rotating rod 5 to face downward, the steering gear 15 connected to the operating arm 12 is located above the water surface below, that is, the steering gear 15 does not need to enter the water, and the output shaft of the steering gear 15 is fixedly connected to the head end of the operating arm 12 through a coupling, and a waterproof cover 7 is fixedly installed at the head end of the operating arm 12, and the waterproof cover 7 and the rainproof cylindrical box 6 are sealed and rotatably connected. The output shaft of the steering gear 15 reciprocates within a preset angle to drive the operating arm 12 to rotate along the right-angle rotating rod 5, thereby driving the underwater camera 11 described below to perform "shaking head" multi-angle shooting.

[0028] In this embodiment, a base 10 is rotatably mounted at the end of the operating arm 12, and an electric push cylinder 13 is fixedly mounted on one side of the head end of the operating arm 12. The electric push cylinder 13 and the steering gear 15 are also connected to each other through wires and an external power supply. A waterproof shell 8 is arranged on the periphery of the electric push cylinder 13. The waterproof shell 8 is used to protect the electric push cylinder 13. Similarly, when the above-mentioned reduction motor drives the end of the right-angle rotating rod 5 to be set downward, the electric push cylinder 13 is located above the water surface below, that is, the electric push cylinder 13 does not need to enter the water. The waterproof shell 8 and the operating arm 12 are fixedly connected. A steel bar 9 is fixedly mounted on the end of the piston rod in the electric push cylinder 13. The steel bar 9 slides through the waterproof shell 8. The steel bar 9 and the operating arm 12 are parallel to each other, that is, the steel bar 9 always moves parallel to the operating arm 12. A slide groove 14 is arranged in a straight line, and the end of the steel bar 9 is installed in the slide groove 14 by a roller in a straight line rolling manner;

[0029] An underwater camera 11 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base 10, which is retracted and extended by the piston rod in the electric push cylinder 13, so as to drive the steel bar 9 to retract and extend along the waterproof shell 8, so that the end of the steel bar 9 lowers or lifts the base 10, thereby driving the underwater camera 11 to "raise its head" or "nod" for multi-angle shooting. When the above-mentioned reduction motor drives the end of the right-angle rotating rod 5 to be set downward, the end of the operating arm 12 is located below the water surface, that is, the underwater camera 11 enters the water for shooting.

[0030] The utility model, when the monitoring device for aquaculture based on the Internet of Things is used:

[0031] 1) The reduction motor is turned on at a fixed time. Each time the reduction motor is turned on, the output shaft of the reduction motor is preset to rotate slowly by 180°, or the output shaft of the reduction motor is always in a slow unidirectional rotation state;

[0032] When the output shaft of the reduction motor rotates, it can drive the connected right-angle rotating rod 5, the operating arm 12 and the underwater camera 11 to rotate synchronously in a circle, circulating above and below the water surface, thereby achieving the purpose of cyclic monitoring of the aquatic environment under the water surface and the on-site environment above the water surface;

[0033] 2) When the underwater camera 11 is at the highest point or the lowest point with the best field of view, first, the output shaft of the steering gear 15 reciprocates within a preset angle to drive the control arm 12 to rotate along the right-angle rotating rod 5, thereby driving the camera 11 to "shake its head" for multi-angle shooting;

[0034] Then, the piston rod in the electric push cylinder 13 is extended and retracted, driving the steel bar 9 to extend and retract along the waterproof shell 8, so that the end of the steel bar 9 lowers or lifts the base 10, thereby driving the underwater camera 11 to "raise its head" or "nod" for multi-angle shooting, which is used for multi-angle patrol and monitoring of underwater aquaculture conditions and on-site conditions on the water surface.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
