[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the present utility model provides a red imported fire ant intelligent monitor, which includes a housing 1, a camera 2, a controller, a wireless communication unit, a chassis 3, a support assembly 4, etc.

[0052] Specifically, the housing 1 can be a columnar-like housing 1. Both the controller and the wireless communication unit are installed inside the housing 1. The controller can be implemented using existing MCU and DSP chips. The camera 2 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 1 and can be located at the central position of the bottom of the housing 1. The camera 2 is used to capture on-site images or videos within the monitoring field of view. It can be implemented using existing RGB-D cameras 2, but is not limited to the above cameras 2, and is electrically connected to the controller through a general I / O interface. The chassis 3 is horizontally disposed below the housing 1 and is connected to the bottom of the housing 1 through a support assembly 4 formed on the upper part of the chassis 3. Further, a placement groove 301 is formed on the upper part of the chassis 3 below the camera 2, and a red imported fire ant trapping test paper or a red imported fire ant attractant is placed in the placement groove 301.

[0053] During actual use, the bottom of the chassis 3 directly contacts the ground, enabling the red imported fire ant intelligent monitor to be directly placed on the outdoor ground without being affected by the soil quality of the ground; the setting of the placement groove 301 on the upper part of the chassis 3 allows the red imported fire ant trapping test paper or the red imported fire ant attractant to be directly placed on the chassis 3, which is simpler compared to the existing bait placement structure. Moreover, the red imported fire ants can be attracted below the camera 2 and captured by the camera 2. Thus, with the help of the deep learning intelligent algorithm system in the controller, it can intelligently identify whether the attracted ants are red imported fire ants and record the number of red imported fire ants. Therefore, it is possible to visually master the base number of red imported fire ant occurrences and provide data support for carrying out scientific prevention and control.

[0054] Specifically, the placement groove 301 can be rectangular, circular or of other shapes. In order to fix the red fire ant trapping test paper in the placement groove 301, the red fire ant trapping test paper can be adhered to the bottom groove surface of the placement groove 301 through a belt body with an adhesive function.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the wireless communication unit can be implemented by using an existing 4G mobile communication module and can be electrically connected to the controller through a UART serial port. The wireless communication unit is used for communicating with a remote monitoring terminal to obtain a remote control signal, such as controlling the shooting time, and at the same time feeding back the photos or videos taken by the camera 2 to the remote monitoring terminal.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the remote monitoring terminal can be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, etc.

[0057] As Figure 1 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the red fire ant intelligent monitor further includes a solar panel 5, a PCB board 6 and a battery pack 7.

[0058] Among them, the solar panel 5 can be installed on the top of the housing 1, can also be installed on the side of the housing 1, or can be installed on both the top and the side of the housing 1 at the same time. The PCB board 6 is installed inside the housing 1, and a charge and discharge control circuit electrically connected to the solar panel 5 is provided on the PCB board 6. The battery pack 7, like the PCB, is also installed inside the housing 1, and the battery pack 7 is electrically connected to the charge and discharge control circuit. Thus, when the weather is good and the sun is sufficient, the electric energy generated by the solar panel 5 can be stored in the battery pack 7.

[0059] In addition, the output end of the charge and discharge control circuit is also electrically connected to the camera 2, so as to supply power to the camera 2.

[0060] As Figure 2 shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a DC charging input port 8 is externally connected to the charge and discharge control circuit; the DC charging input port 8 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The DC charging input port 8 can be a Type-C charging port, and the battery pack 7 can be charged through this Type-C charging port, which can meet the normal monitoring requirements of the red fire ant intelligent monitor when the ambient light (such as on a cloudy day or at night) is weak.

[0061] As Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the housing 1 includes two parts, namely a top cover 101 and a bottom cover 102. The camera 2 is fixedly installed on the bottom cover 102. In order to achieve detachable connection of the PCB board 6, multiple mounting posts 103 are provided on the upper part of the bottom cover 102, and the inner wall of the mounting posts 103 has internal threads, so that mounting holes matching the mounting posts 103 can be opened on the PCB board 6, and screws can be used to connect the PCB board 6 and the mounting posts 103 on the upper part of the bottom cover 102. In addition, the arrangement of the mounting posts 103 separates the PCB board 6 from the bottom cover 102, facilitating the layout of cables.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the battery pack 7 can be a lithium-ion battery pack, which can be fixed above the PCB board 6 through a mounting bracket, thereby reducing the load on the PCB board 6 and making the PCB board 6 more reliable in use.

[0063] As Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the support assembly 4, the chassis 3, and the housing 1 can all be plastic parts, and the support assembly 4 and the chassis 3 are integrally formed. The support assembly 4 specifically includes a support plate 41 and a first annular connecting plate 42.

[0064] Among them, at least two support plates 41 are vertically arranged and are provided at the edge of the chassis 3, and an opening is formed between two adjacent support plates 41, so that while the support plates 41 play a role in supporting the housing 1, red imported fire ants can climb into the upper part of the chassis 3.

[0065] The upper part of the first annular connecting plate 42 is connected to the upper part of the support plate 41 at the same time, and the first annular connecting plate 42 is detachably connected to the housing 1, so that the support assembly 4 and the chassis 3 can be separated from the housing 1, making it more convenient to disassemble and assemble the housing 1 when maintenance of the electronic components inside the housing 1 is required.

[0066] As Figures 4 to 8 shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the first annular connecting plate 42 includes an outer connecting plate 421 and an inner connecting plate 422; the upper part of the inner connecting plate 422 is lower than the upper part of the outer connecting plate 421, and a clamping plate 423 is provided on the upper part of the inner connecting plate 422. A second annular connecting plate 9 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, and a card slot 901 for the clamping plate 423 to be inserted into is opened upward at the bottom of the second annular connecting plate.

[0067] When the support assembly 4 and the housing 1 are assembled together, the second annular connecting plate 9 just contacts the inner wall of the outer connecting plate 421, and the clamping plate 423 on the upper part of the inner connecting plate 422 just snaps into the card slot 901, making the support assembly 4 unable to rotate and ensuring the reliability of the connection between the support assembly 4 and the housing 1.

[0068] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the utility model, an annular convex strip 902 is provided on the outer side of the second annular connecting plate around the second annular connecting plate; and an annular groove 424 is provided on the inner side of the outer connecting plate 421 to cooperate with the annular convex strip 902. During the process of assembling the support assembly 4 and the housing 1, the annular convex strip 902 is squeezed into the annular groove 424 on the inner side of the outer connecting plate 421. Therefore, through the cooperation between the annular convex strip 902 and the annular groove 424, after the support assembly 4 and the housing 1 are assembled together, the support assembly 4 and the housing 1 will not be separated in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring that the support assembly 4 and the housing 1 can be firmly assembled together.

[0069] In order to separate the support assembly 4 and the shell 1, a gap is left between the support assembly 4 and the shell 1 when the support assembly 4 and the shell 1 are assembled together, so that the user can pry the first annular connecting plate 42 outward so that the annular protrusion 902 can be disengaged from the annular groove 424, thereby separating the support assembly 4 and the shell 1.

[0070] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 ,as well as Figure 9 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the utility model, a first indicator mark 10 is provided on the outer side surface of the external connecting plate 421, and the first indicator mark 10 and the card plate 423 are arranged opposite to each other; a second indicator mark 11 is provided on the outer side surface of the shell 1, and when the second indicator mark 11 is aligned with the first indicator mark 10, the card plate 423 is inserted into the card slot 901. Therefore, the first indicator mark 10 and the second indicator mark 11 play a role in positioning the card plate 423 into the card slot 901, so that the user can quickly complete the assembly of the support assembly 4 and the shell 1.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the edge 302 of the chassis 3 is tilted downward, so that the red fire ants can more easily climb into the upper part of the chassis 3 and be photographed by the camera 2, so that the monitoring results can accurately reflect the actual situation of the red fire ants in the monitoring environment.

[0072] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
