[0017] The observation system for monitoring the plant-feeding habits of macaques places a support rod on the top of a tree, rotates a rotating block to drive a transmission component to move, and the movement of the transmission component drives the threaded rod to rotate in a bearing plate. At this time, the traction plates threadedly sleeved on both ends of the threaded rod drive the arc-shaped clamping plates to move relative to each other, thereby clamping the tree and thus installing and fixing the support rod.

[0018] Furthermore, the transmission assembly of this observation system for monitoring macaques' plant-feeding habits includes first to fourth gears. Rotating a rotating block drives a rotating rod, which in turn drives the third gear. This engages the fourth gear, thereby rotating the connecting rod. As the connecting rod rotates, the first gear fixed to each end engages the second gear, causing the threaded rod to rotate within the support plate. The traction plates, threaded onto the ends of the threaded rod, drive the relative movement of the curved clamping plates, clamping the tree and securing the support rod. The entire transmission assembly has a simple architecture and convenient transmission. Operation requires only one hand to operate the rotating block, making it easy for a single person to independently operate the rod on a tree trunk. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For example, "connected" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] See also Figure 1-3 , the utility model provides an embodiment: an observation system for monitoring the plant-eating habits of macaques, comprising a support rod 1, a first monitoring probe 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 1, a second monitoring probe 3 and a signal transceiver 4 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the support rod 1, the first monitoring probe 2 and the second monitoring probe 3 are both electrically connected to the signal transceiver, and two symmetrically arranged supporting plates 5 are fixedly connected to the other side of the support rod 1, one side of the two supporting plates 5 is provided with a rotating groove, a threaded rod 6 is rotatably connected in the rotating groove, and the threaded directions of the threaded rod 6 on both sides of the center point of the horizontal axial section are oppositely arranged. Both ends of the threaded rod 6 are fixedly connected with a traction plate 7, one end of the traction plate 7 is fixedly connected with an arc-shaped splint 8, a support frame 9 is provided between the two bearing plates 5, the support frame 9 is fixedly connected to the support rod 1, a connecting rod 10 is rotatably inserted in the support frame 9, a rotating rod 13 is rotatably inserted on one side of the support frame 9, one end of the rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected with a rotating block 16, and transmission components that cooperate with each other are provided on the connecting rod 10, the other end of the rotating rod 13 and the threaded rod 6. The transmission component drives the traction plates 7 on both ends of the threaded rod 6 to move through the rotation of the rotating block 16, thereby driving the arc-shaped splint 8 to move relative to each other.

[0027] Specifically, the transmission assembly includes: a first gear 11, a second gear 12, a third gear 14 and a fourth gear 15;

[0028] Both ends of the connecting rod 10 extend into the supporting plate 5 and are fixedly connected to the first gear 11. The second gear 12 is fixedly sleeved on the threaded rod 6, and the second gear 12 is engaged with the first gear 11. The other end of the rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected to the third gear 14. The fourth gear 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 10, and the fourth gear 15 is engaged with the third gear 14.

[0029] A stop rod 17 is slidably inserted into one end of the rotating block 16, and a plurality of stop slots corresponding to the stop rod 17 are provided on the outer wall of the support frame 9. Specifically, rotating the rotating block 16 can drive the rotating rod 13 and the third gear 14 to rotate. At this time, the third gear 14 will engage the fourth gear 15, thereby realizing the rotation of the connecting rod 10. When the connecting rod 10 rotates, the first gear 11 fixed at both ends will engage with the second gear 12 to realize the rotation of the threaded rod 6 within the supporting plate 5. At this time, the traction plate 7 threadedly sleeved on the ends of the threaded rod 6 will drive the arc-shaped clamping plate 8 to move relative to each other to clamp the tree and thus install and fix the support rod 1.

The connecting rod 10 is fixedly inserted in the bearing 22 to provide rotational support for the connecting rod 10.

[0032] Working principle: First, place the support rod 1 on the top of the tree. By rotating the rotating block 16, the rotating rod 13 can drive the third gear 14 to rotate. At this time, the third gear 14 will engage the fourth gear 15 to realize the rotation of the connecting rod 10. When the connecting rod 10 rotates, the first gear 11 fixed on both ends will engage with the second gear 12 to realize the rotation of the threaded rod 6 in the bearing plate 5. At this time, the traction plate 7 threaded on the two ends of the threaded rod 6 will drive the arc-shaped clamping plate 8 to move relative to achieve the clamping of the tree and then install and fix the support rod 1. The first monitoring probe 2 installed on the top of the support rod 1 monitors the top of the tree, and the second monitoring probe 3 monitors the middle of the tree. The monitoring signal is transmitted through the signal transceiver 4.
