[0002] Ecological corridors, a specific representation of the patch concept in landscape ecology, often manifest as linear or strip-shaped landscape ecological spatial systems within the ecological environment. River ecological corridors refer to the river itself and the vegetation zones along its banks that differ from the surrounding substrate, including the river channel, floodplain, riparian vegetation, and parts of highlands. They function to promote biological dispersal and migration, enhance biodiversity, prevent soil erosion, and regulate microclimates. Ensuring reasonable ecological corridor boundaries is an effective means of protecting and restoring biodiversity.

[0003] In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventors discovered that the prior art has at least the following problems:

[0004] Before determining reasonable ecological corridor boundaries for modification, it is necessary to collect images or videos of the actual riverbank boundaries in the study area for data analysis. Currently, satellite remote sensing technology or drones are often used to collect video data of the rivers, which is costly.

[0005] Therefore, a video acquisition device for determining the boundaries of river ecological corridors is needed to at least partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0044] This invention provides a video acquisition device 100 for determining the boundary of a river ecological corridor. The acquisition device 100 can be applied, for example, to the field of river ecological corridors, such as for river corridor video acquisition, and can solve the problem of high cost in existing river corridor video acquisition methods.

[0045] This utility model provides a video acquisition device 100 for determining the boundary of a river ecological corridor. In a preferred embodiment, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the data acquisition device 100 includes a boat 110, a boom 120, and a camera 130. The boat 110 is used to move within the river, enabling the boom 120 and camera 130 to move together with the boat. The boom 120 is used to raise and lower the camera 130. The camera 130 is used for real-time video acquisition of the river corridor.

[0046] Specifically, the vessel 110, used for movement in the target river area, includes a hull 111 with an open top. The hull 111 contains an open chamber and a closed chamber 113 arranged sequentially along the front-to-back direction. The open chamber has a flip-top cover 112 on its top. The flip-top cover 112 is rotatable relative to the closed chamber 113 in the front-to-back direction, allowing it to be closed. The closed chamber 113 is designed to be enclosed for safer storage of its internal power module and storage module (mentioned below).

[0047] The ship body 111 has vertical propellers 116 on both sides that can rotate in both directions to enable the ship body 111 to move forward and backward. The bottom of the ship body 111 has horizontal propellers 117 that can rotate in both directions to enable the ship body 111 to turn (left or right).

[0048] A lifting mast 120 is installed inside the open chamber. A camera 130 is mounted on top of the lifting mast 120 to capture live video of both banks of the river. The camera 130 can be oriented to the left or right, so that it can better capture video of the river corridor as the boat 110 moves along the river's extension.

[0049] The enclosed chamber 113 houses a power module and a storage module for storing video data. The power module supplies power to the vertical propeller 116, horizontal propeller 117, and lifting mast 120. It's important to note that the power module does not directly supply power to the vertical propeller 116 and horizontal propeller 117; instead, it supplies power to the motors that drive the vertical propeller 116 and horizontal propeller 117. This power module can refer to a single power supply device that supplies power to the vertical propeller 116, horizontal propeller 117, and lifting mast 120. Alternatively, it can refer to two or more power supply devices that supply power to the vertical propeller 116, horizontal propeller 117, and lifting mast 120 respectively. When the flip cover 112 is closed within the open chamber, the lifting mast 120 is in a retracted state and, along with the camera 130, is located within the open chamber when the flip cover 112 is closed, allowing for the storage of the camera 130 when no video capture is being performed.

[0050] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 When video capture is required, the flip cover 112 is opened in advance to open the open chamber to the outside. Then, the lifting rod 120 is raised to lift the camera 130 to a certain height. At this time, the camera 130 has a good field of view and can carry out video capture along the river with the help of the moving boat 110. It is especially convenient to carry out video capture on the opposite bank of the river.

[0051] According to the acquisition device 100 of this utility model, the boat body 111 moves forward and backward along the river and turns through the vertical propeller 116 and the horizontal propeller 117, respectively. The lifting rod 120 and the camera 130 are installed in the open cavity with the flip cover 112. The flip cover 112 and the lifting rod 122 enable the camera 130 to be stored in a closed manner when not in use and to work normally when collecting video. The entire acquisition device 100 has a simple structure, is easy to use, economical and practical, and has a low cost.

[0052] To facilitate better movement of the vessel 110, the data acquisition device 100 in this embodiment can also include a remote control module within the enclosed chamber 113. The remote control module is electrically connected to both the vertical propeller 116 and the horizontal propeller 117. In other words, it is electrically connected to the motors that drive the vertical propeller 116 and the horizontal propeller 117 to rotate. The remote control module is used to connect to a remote controller to achieve rotation of the vertical propeller 116 and / or the horizontal propeller 117. That is, under the operation of a compatible remote controller, the vessel 110 can be remotely controlled to move forward, backward, and / or turn. The remote control module's ability to remotely control the forward and reverse rotation of the motors is a very common existing technology and does not involve program improvements; therefore, it will not be detailed here.

[0053] It is conceivable that when the vessel 110 moves in the river, there may be floating debris on the river surface, such as plastic bags. If such floating debris gets caught in the vertical propeller 116 and / or the horizontal propeller 117 during the movement of the vessel 110, the operation may be unable to continue. Therefore, the collection device 100 may also include a cleaning mechanism 140 located on the front side of the vessel body 111 to remove floating debris from the water to prevent it from getting caught in the vertical propeller 116 and / or the horizontal propeller 117.

[0054] Specifically, you can refer to Figure 2 The cleaning mechanism 140 includes a drive roller 141 that can rotate in both directions and is disposed above the front side plate of the ship body 111, as well as a mounting plate 142 and a salvage conveyor belt 143. It is understood that the drive roller 141 can be powered by a power module or can be powered by a separate power supply.

[0055] A mounting plate 142 extending forward and downward is connected to the hull 111, for example, to the bottom of the outer wall of the front side plate of the hull 111. The end of the mounting plate 142 is lower than the bottom surface of the hull 111, so that the subsequently installed salvage conveyor belt 143 can extend downward and block the front of the horizontal propeller 117. A passive roller is provided between the two mounting plates 142. A rotatable salvage conveyor belt 143 is arranged between the drive roller 141 and the passive roller. The floating object is retrieved from the water by the rotational motion of the salvage conveyor belt 143. To improve the success rate of salvage, scrapers 144 can also be provided at intervals on the surface of the salvage conveyor belt 143 along the rotation direction.

[0056] Further, refer to Figure 3 To facilitate the proper placement of retrieved floating objects, a vertically extending partition 150 can be installed within the open chamber. The partition 150 divides the open chamber into a first chamber 114 for accommodating the lifting boom 120 and the camera 130, and a second chamber 115 for accommodating the retrieved floating objects.

[0057] To prevent floating debris from potentially entering the first chamber 114 from the second chamber 115 (for example, if the second chamber 115 is almost completely filled with floating debris), the bulkhead 150 is higher than the hull 111 to block the floating debris from entering the first chamber 114. To further improve the success rate of blocking, the upper part of the bulkhead 150, or even the entire bulkhead 150, can be designed as a curved plate that bends forward.

[0058] Before the collection device 100 is put into operation in the river, in order to facilitate the user to carry or transfer it by hand, the upper part of the partition 150 may also have an elongated through hole 151 extending in the left and right direction for the palm to pass through. In this way, the entire collection device 100 can be easily lifted by relying on the through hole 151.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the flip cover 112 can be rotatably connected to the outer wall of the enclosed chamber 113 (e.g., the side wall near the flip cover 112) via a hinge, and can be flipped back onto the top plate of the enclosed chamber 113. To achieve a smoother closing of the flip cover 112, the partition 150 can also be provided with a support block 152 near the side wall of the flip cover 112 for horizontal support of the flip cover 112. Furthermore, for more stable support, the support block 152 can be a metal support block 152. The flip cover 112 can be provided with a magnetic part 118 (e.g., a magnet) at the position corresponding to the support block 152 for attracting onto the support block 152.

[0060] In some situations, such as when the vessel 110 is moving in a river, with the boom 120 and camera 130 already raised for video capture, the vessel 110 may experience a sudden, large movement while moving forward. The flip cover 112 may then flip forward due to inertia and collide with the boom 120. To ensure the flip cover 112 is more stable when it flips backward onto the top plate of the enclosed chamber 113, and to prevent it from flipping forward under external force and colliding with the boom 120, thus affecting video capture, a metal patch 119 can be provided on the top plate of the enclosed chamber 113 at the position corresponding to the magnetic attraction part 118 to attract the flip cover 112.

[0061] Based on the above description, the data acquisition device 100 according to this utility model can be used, for example, as follows:

[0062] The acquisition device 100 is carried by hand to the target location on the river. The flip cover 112 is opened in advance, the lifting rod 120 is raised, the camera 130 is started, and the salvage conveyor belt 143 is started in advance. Then it is placed on the water surface. The boat 110 is controlled by remote control to move forward, backward or turn, and video acquisition is achieved while moving.

[0063] Other embodiments of the present invention will be readily conceived and understood by those skilled in the art in conjunction with the description and practice disclosed herein. The description and embodiments are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of the invention are defined by the claims.

[0064] Furthermore, those skilled in the art will understand that although some embodiments described herein include certain features but not others included in other embodiments, combinations of features from different embodiments are intended to be within the scope of this application and form different embodiments. For example, in the claims, any one of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.
