Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine planting technology, and in particular relates to a real-time monitoring device for the growth progress of traditional Chinese medicine planting. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) refers to drugs that are collected, processed, and prepared according to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, with explanations of their mechanisms of action and guidance for clinical application. These drugs are collectively known as TCM. TCM is based on TCM theory and is used to prevent and treat diseases from plants, animals, minerals, and their processed products.
[0003] In the process of cultivating Chinese medicinal herbs, in order to ensure the purity of the varieties, the suitability of the growing environment, and the reasonable timing of harvesting, thereby improving the overall quality of the herbs, it is necessary to monitor the growth status of the herbs in real time. This is done by taking pictures and recording the growth status of the herbs through cameras. The problem with the above technology is that the shooting angle of the cameras is fixed. In order to monitor the planting area comprehensively, multiple cameras need to be installed, which increases the monitoring cost. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a real-time monitoring device for the growth progress of Chinese medicinal herbs that can overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.
[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a real-time monitoring device for the growth progress of Chinese medicinal herbs, including a monitoring device and a support. The monitoring device includes a camera and a mounting plate. The top of the camera is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate. The support includes a support column, a drive motor, a connecting ring, a fixed shaft, and a support rod. The bottom of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the inside of the support column. The inside of the connecting ring is movably connected to the top of the surface of the support column. The top of the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting ring. The side of the connecting ring near the fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed shaft. The right side of the inside of the support rod is movably connected to the surface of the fixed shaft. The inside of the mounting plate is movably connected to the left side of the surface of the support rod.
[0006] The monitoring device is used to monitor the growth progress of Chinese medicinal herbs in real time.
[0007] The bracket is used to adjust the direction of the camera.
[0008] To prevent the connecting ring from detaching from the support column, preferably, a first limiting ring is fixedly connected to the top of the support column surface, the surface of the first limiting ring is movably connected to the interior of the connecting ring, a fixing member is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column, a support assembly is provided at the bottom of the support rod, an adjustment assembly is provided inside the support rod, and a fixing assembly is provided on the left side inside the support rod. The first limiting ring restricts the movement direction of the connecting ring, so that the connecting ring and the support column remain stably connected.
[0009] To improve the stability of the support rod, preferably, the support assembly includes a support base, a connecting rod, and a support ring. The top of the support base is movably connected to the bottom of the support rod, the top of the inside of the connecting rod is movably connected to the surface of the support base, the inside of the support ring is movably connected to the bottom of the support surface, and the bottom of the inside of the connecting rod is movably connected to the left side of the support ring surface. The support base is fixed by an adjusting assembly, and the connecting rod supports the support rod, preventing the support rod from moving downwards due to its own weight, thereby keeping the support rod stable.
[0010] To facilitate adjustment of the camera angle, preferably, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment motor, a threaded rod, an adjustment block, and two sliders. The right side of the adjustment motor is fixedly connected to the right side of the support rod's interior, and the right side of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the left side of the adjustment motor's output end. The interior of the adjustment block is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod, and the surface of the adjustment block is slidably connected to the interior of the support rod. The bottom of the adjustment block is fixedly connected to the top of the support base. The opposite ends of the two sliders are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the adjustment block, respectively, and the surfaces of the two sliders are slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the support rod's interior, respectively. By activating the adjustment motor, the motor's output end drives the threaded rod to rotate. During the rotation of the threaded rod, the adjustment block moves, which in turn moves the support base. During the movement of the support base, the top of the connecting rod moves, and during the movement of the connecting rod, the top of the connecting rod moves downward, causing the support rod to move downward through the connecting seat. During the downward movement of the support rod, it rotates around a fixed axis, thereby adjusting the camera's shooting angle.
[0011] To ensure a stable connection between the mounting plate and the support rod, the fixing assembly preferably includes two plug-in blocks, a pressing plate, and a fixing bolt.

The bottom of the drive motor 202 is fixedly connected to the inside of the support column 201. The inside of the connecting ring 203 is movably connected to the top of the surface of the support column 201. The top of the output end of the drive motor 202 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting ring 203. The side of the connecting ring 203 near the fixed shaft 204 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed shaft 204. The right side of the support rod 205 is fixedly connected to the support column 205. The surface of the fixed shaft 204 is movably connected, and the interior of the mounting plate 102 is movably connected to the left side of the surface of the support rod 205; the monitoring device 1 is used to monitor the growth progress of Chinese medicinal herbs in real time; the bracket 2 is used to adjust the direction of the camera 101. To prevent the connecting ring 203 from disengaging from the support column 201, a first limiting ring 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the surface of the support column 201, and the surface of the first limiting ring 3 is movably connected to the interior of the connecting ring 203. A fixing member 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column 201, and a support component 5 is provided at the bottom of the support rod 205. An adjustment component 6 is provided inside the support rod 205, and a fixing component 7 is provided on the left side inside the support rod 205. The first limiting ring 3 restricts the movement direction of the connecting ring 203, so that the connecting ring 203 and the support column 205 are movably connected. 1. To maintain a stable connection and improve the stability of the support rod 205, the support assembly 5 includes a support base 501, a connecting rod 502, and a support ring 503. The top of the support base 501 is movably connected to the bottom of the support rod 205. The top of the inside of the connecting rod 502 is movably connected to the surface of the support base 501. The inside of the support ring 503 is movably connected to the bottom of the surface of the support rod 201. The bottom of the inside of the connecting rod 502 is movably connected to the left side of the surface of the support ring 503. The support base 501 is fixed by the adjustment assembly 6, and the connecting rod 502 supports the support rod 205, preventing the support rod 205 from moving downwards due to its own weight, thus keeping the support rod 205 stable. To facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the camera 101, the adjustment assembly 6 includes an adjustment motor 60. 1. A threaded rod 602, an adjusting block 603, and two sliders 604 are connected. The right side of the adjusting motor 601 is fixedly connected to the right side of the support rod 205. The right side of the threaded rod 602 is fixedly connected to the left side of the output end of the adjusting motor 601. The interior of the adjusting block 603 is connected to the surface of the threaded rod 602. The surface of the adjusting block 603 is slidably connected to the interior of the support rod 205. The bottom of the adjusting block 603 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 501. The opposite ends of the two sliders 604 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the adjusting block 603, respectively. The surfaces of the two sliders 604 are slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the support rod 205, respectively. By starting the adjusting motor 601, the output end of the adjusting motor 601 drives the threaded rod 602 to rotate.During the rotation of the threaded rod 602, the adjusting block 603 moves, which in turn moves the support base 501. The support base 501 then moves the top of the connecting rod 502. As the connecting rod 502 moves, its top moves downwards, which in turn moves the support rod 205 downwards via the connecting seat. The support rod 205 rotates around the fixed axis 204 during this downward movement, thereby adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 101. To ensure a stable connection between the mounting plate 102 and the support rod 205, the fixing assembly 7 includes two plug-in blocks 701. The extrusion plate 702 and the fixing bolt 703 are connected by two plug-in blocks 701. The surfaces of the two plug-in blocks 701 are slidably connected to the left sides of the front and rear sides of the support rod 205. The opposite sides of the two plug-in blocks 701 are plugged into the front and rear sides of the mounting plate 102. The bottom front and rear sides of the extrusion plate 702 are movably connected to the opposite ends of the two plug-in plates. The bottom surface of the fixing bolt 703 is movably connected to the interior of the extrusion plate 702. The surface of the fixing bolt 703 is threadedly connected to the top of the support rod 205. The two plug-in blocks 701 are inserted into the mounting plate 102 to restrict movement. The moving mounting plate 102, along with the cooperation of the fixing bolt 703 and the pressing plate 702, stabilizes the two plug-in plates. To facilitate disassembly of the camera 101, a connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the two plug-in blocks 701. Multiple springs 9 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of each connecting plate 8. The side of each spring 9 closest to the support rod 205 is fixedly connected to the inside of the support rod 205. By reversing the fixing bolt 703, the rotating bolt causes the pressing block to move upwards, and the multiple springs... 9. The springback causes the two connecting plates 8 to move towards their opposite ends. During this movement, the two connecting plates 8 also move the two plug-in plates towards their opposite ends, disengaging them from the mounting plate 102 and allowing for disassembly of the mounting plate 102. To prevent the support ring 503 from moving downwards, a second limiting ring 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the surface of the support column 201. The surface of the second limiting ring 10 is movably connected to the interior of the support ring 503, restricting the direction of movement of the support ring 503 and providing support to prevent it from moving downwards.
[0024] The working principle of this utility model:
[0025] When installing the camera 101, the mounting plate 102 is fitted onto the surface of the support rod 205, with the interior of the mounting plate 102 aligned with the two insertion blocks 701. The fixing bolt 703 is rotated, causing the pressing block to move downwards. This movement pushes the two insertion plates in opposite directions, inserting them into the interior of the two mounting plates 102, restricting their movement and thus stabilizing the camera 101. The camera 101 is used to monitor and film the traditional Chinese medicine. When monitoring of the medicine in different locations is required, the drive motor 202 is activated. The output of the drive motor 202 drives the connecting ring 203 to rotate, which in turn rotates the support rod 205. 5. Rotation: During the rotation of the support rod 205, the camera 101 moves, thereby adjusting the direction of the camera 101. The adjustment motor 601 is started, and the output end of the adjustment motor 601 drives the threaded rod 602 to rotate. During the rotation of the threaded rod 602, the adjustment block 603 moves, and during the movement of the adjustment block 603, the support seat 501 moves. During the movement of the support seat 501, the top of the connecting rod 502 moves. During the movement of the connecting rod 502, the top of the connecting rod 502 moves downward, driving the support rod 205 downward through the connecting seat. During the downward movement of the support rod 205, it rotates around the fixed axis 204, thereby adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 101 to monitor the Chinese medicine in different positions.
