Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a wild animal monitoring camera, in particular to a camera for monitoring bird activities on trees. Background Art

[0002] Existing camera monitoring programs primarily focus on mammals, with birds often included as incidental recordings. Cavity-nesting birds build their nests in tree trunks, while passerines, piedavides, and other birds also feed on the bark.

[0003] Placing cameras on tree trunks is an effective way to capture bird activity. However, monitoring birds active on tree trunks and branches requires focusing the camera on the trunk or branches. Birds moving in trees are often obscured by leaves, making it difficult for existing infrared cameras to capture bird activity due to factors such as the inability to adjust the upward or downward angle and the inability to be placed on tree branches. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a camera for monitoring bird activities on trees, so as to solve the problem of monitoring bird activities on trees, especially the problem of monitoring bird activities in complex tree canopy environments.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above problems is:

[0006] A camera for monitoring bird activities on a tree trunk comprises a snap ring fixing device (1), a silicone anti-slip pad (11), a memory alloy metal shrapnel (12), a slidable camera device (2), a slide groove (21), a damping shaft (22), a miniature camera (23), and a double-sided solar cell panel (24).

[0007] Furthermore, the snap ring fixing device (1) can pass through the slide groove (21), and the same snap ring fixing device (1) can be connected in series with multiple slidable camera devices (2);

[0008] Furthermore, the arched convex surface of the snap ring fixing device (1) is a silicone anti-slip pad (11), and the concave surface is a memory alloy metal spring (12);

[0009] Furthermore, the slidable camera device (2) is provided with a slide groove (21), and a damping shaft (22) is used to connect the slide groove (21) and the double-sided solar cell panel (24);

[0010] Furthermore, the miniature camera (23) is fixed on the double-sided solar cell panel (24) and cannot be disassembled.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects

[0012] First, this utility model utilizes a snap ring fixture and a slidable camera assembly to form a multi-angle monitoring camera. The camera's position and angle can be freely adjusted based on the time of use, the diameter of the tree trunk or branch at the location, and the activity habits and nesting preferences of the target birds. This utility model has a wide range of applications and is suitable for monitoring birds in trees.

[0013] Second, the cross-section of the snap ring fixture is arched when straightened. When in use, the arched convex surface of the snap ring fixture is pressed against the tree trunk or branch. By pressing the snap ring fixture, the elasticity of the memory alloy metal dome will automatically wrap around and retract when the cross-section is straightened, making it easier for researchers to operate on the tree with one hand;

[0014] 3. The side of the snap ring fixing device close to the tree trunk is made of silicone anti-slip material, which ensures the camera is firmly installed.

[0015] 4. When multiple sliding camera devices are connected in series to the same snap ring fixture, different directions and angles of the same tree trunk can be monitored simultaneously, achieving all-round monitoring without blind spots.

[0016] 5. The snap ring fixing device is elastic and can expand automatically as the tree grows. It will not restrict the growth of the tree and will not damage the tree during long-term monitoring. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] Combine Figure 1-2 Provide further details on the application.

[0024] See also Figure 1-2The utility model provides a technical solution: a camera for monitoring bird activities on a tree trunk, comprising a snap ring fixing device (1) and a slidable camera device (2), wherein the snap ring fixing device (1) is provided with the slidable camera device (2); the snap ring fixing device (1) has a silicone anti-slip pad (11) on the side close to the tree trunk, and a memory alloy metal spring (12) on the outside; the slidable camera device (2) includes a slide groove (21), a damping shaft (22), a micro camera (23), and a double-sided solar cell panel (24);

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the snap ring fixing device (1) is arched in the straightened state and can be rolled into a circle;

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the slidable camera device (2) can slide and change its position and is detachable when the snap ring fixing device (1) is straightened;

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the slide groove (21) in the slidable camera device (2) is connected to the double-sided solar cell panel (24) by a damping shaft (22), and the damping shaft (22) can hover at any angle;

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the miniature camera (23) is fixed on the double-sided solar cell panel (24) and cannot be disassembled.

[0029] In the preferred embodiment of the utility model, the miniature camera (23) has automatic focus, automatic ISO sensitivity, automatic shutter speed functions and Bluetooth transmission function, and is equipped with a battery and a memory card for powering it. The miniature camera 23 is a prior art.

[0030] A camera is placed on a tree to monitor bird activity on the trunk. The implementation process is as follows:

[0031] (1) Select the required number of the slidable camera devices 2 and install them on the snap ring fixing device 1, with the silicone anti-slip pad 11 of the snap ring fixing device 1 facing inward and the memory alloy metal spring 12 facing outward;

[0032] (2) Initial state, the utility model is in Figure 1 In the straightened state shown, hold the snap ring fixture 1 with your hand, place one side of the silicone anti-slip pad 11 close to the tree trunk where the camera is to be placed, and press the memory alloy metal dome 12. The memory alloy metal dome 12 is stressed to invalidate its arched support structure, and then returns to the retracted state due to the characteristics of its own memory-shaped material, so that the retracted snap ring fixture 1 quickly bites into the tree trunk;

[0033] (3) Move the slide 21 so that the spacing between the micro cameras 23 is appropriate and the monitoring ranges do not overlap;

[0034] (4) Adjust the monitoring angle of the micro camera 23 by twisting the double-sided solar cell panel 24.
