One end of the cable 52 is attached to the sampling basket 51, and the other end is wound around the drive shaft of the drive motor 31. The cable 52 passes through the limit switch assembly 4. Aquaculture products can enter the sampling basket 51. Driven by the drive assembly 3 and the limit switch assembly 4, the sampling basket 51 moves to a suitable position. At this point, the image acquisition module can capture or record the aquaculture products in the sampling basket 51 to obtain clear images or videos.

[0041] In one embodiment, the limit switch assembly 4 includes a first limit switch 41, a limit plate 43 and a positioning member 44. The first limit switch 41 is arranged in the mounting cavity 21 and is connected to the mounting shell 2 by screws.

One end of the limit plate 43 is movably connected to the mounting housing 2 by a hinge, and the other end is placed between the movable ends of the first limit switch 41 and the second limit switch 42. The positioning member 44 is arranged below the limit plate 43 and is tied to the cable 52. The limit plate 43 is also provided with a threading hole. The end of the cable away from the sampling basket 51 passes through the threading hole and is wound around the drive shaft of the drive motor 31. It is worth noting that the positioning member 44 in this embodiment is a plastic block. In other embodiments, a metal block, such as an iron block or an aluminum block, etc., can also be used. As long as it can be achieved when the cable 52 moves and contacts the limit plate 43, there is no specific restriction on the material and shape of the positioning member 44. By arranging the positioning member 44 between the movable end of the first limit switch 41 and the movable end of the second limit switch 42, the probability of false triggering of the limit switch assembly 4 can be effectively reduced, avoiding the problem that when only a single limit switch is provided, the positioning member 44 is subjected to a slight external force and causes the limit switch assembly 4 to be triggered.

[0043] Reference Figure 3In one embodiment, a float 6 is further included, to which the mounting base 1 is mounted via bolts. In this embodiment, the float 6 is a buoyant ball. In other embodiments, the float 6 may also be a ship hull, a plastic float ring, a foam board, or other conventionally buoyant objects. The specific structure of the float 6 is not limited herein. The float 6 allows the entire device to float on the water, thereby adapting to a wider range of usage scenarios and improving the overall applicability of the device.

[0044] In one embodiment, a power generation device is further included. In this embodiment, the power generation device is bolted to the top wall of the mounting housing 2. In other embodiments, the power generation device can also be mounted on the mounting base 1. In this embodiment, the power generation device uses a solar panel power generation device known in the art as the power generation device. The power generation device includes a solar panel and a power module. The solar panel is screwed to the mounting housing 2. The power module is disposed within the mounting cavity 21 and screwed to the mounting housing 2.

The solar power generation device of this embodiment can convert solar energy into electrical energy, effectively utilizing green energy while also providing the device with its own power supply.

[0045] By setting a limit switch assembly 4 in the mounting shell 2, and passing the sampling piece 5 through the limit switch assembly 4 to connect with the drive assembly 3, and then cooperating with the image acquisition module to shoot and record the aquaculture products in the sampling piece 5, clear photos and videos are obtained, thereby enabling the staff to observe the aquaculture products efficiently; secondly, through the setting of the float 6 and the power generation device, the overall applicability of the device can be effectively improved, and the overall structure of the device is simple and easy to maintain on a daily basis, providing effective technical support for the sampling and observation of aquaculture products.

[0046] Here's how this application works:

[0047] Upon receiving the observation command, the PCB control board controls the drive motor 31 to operate, causing the sampling basket 51 to rise. Simultaneously, the positioning member 44 tied to the cable 52 also rises as the cable 52 moves. When the positioning member 44 contacts the limit plate 43, the limit plate 43 swings under the contact of the positioning member 44, triggering the limit switch assembly 4. At this time, after receiving the trigger command from the limit switch assembly 4, the PCB control board controls the drive motor 31 to stop operation and controls the image acquisition module to operate, causing the image acquisition module to photograph and record the farmed products in the sampling basket 51. Since the positioning member 44 is pre-tied to the cable 52, its position can be determined based on the distance conditions at which the image acquisition module can capture and record clear photos and videos. Therefore, the photos and videos captured by the image acquisition module at this time are clear, effectively improving the staff's observation efficiency of the farmed products. After the image acquisition module completes the shooting and recording, the PCB control board sends a recovery command to the drive motor 31, causing the drive motor 31 to reverse and return the sampling basket 51 to its original position.
