Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moss and lichen sampling technology, and in particular to a visual collection tool for tree epiphytic moss and lichen layers. Background Technology
[0002] Tree epiphytes and lichens are a type of plant that grows on trees and are an important component of forest ecosystems, playing a vital role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function. Due to their simple structure, tree epiphytes and lichens are particularly sensitive to environmental changes and often serve as indicator organisms for air pollution, climate change, and forest disturbance.
[0003] In conducting research on epiphytic mosses and lichens, it is necessary to sample and observe the plants. Since most tree epiphytic mosses and lichens grow high up in the trees, sampling is difficult. Traditional pruning shears remove samples by friction, which is not targeted and causes unnecessary damage to the bark. On the other hand, climbing to collect samples is dangerous and can damage the epiphytic layer on the trunk. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a visual collection tool for tree epiphytic moss and lichen layers. Through a scalable, visual, and precise collection device, it improves the efficiency and accuracy of in-situ sampling of tree epiphytic moss and lichen layers and reduces damage to the tree epiphytic layer.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned technical objectives through the following technical means.
[0006] A visual collection tool for tree epiphytic moss and lichen layers includes a telescopic pole, a shovel component, and a rechargeable Bluetooth camera. The top of the telescopic pole is connected to the shovel component, and the rechargeable Bluetooth camera is installed at the upper end of the telescopic pole. The installation height of the rechargeable Bluetooth camera is higher than that of the shovel component.
[0007] In a further technical solution, the top end of the telescopic rod is connected to the shovel component via a shovel handle sleeve.
[0008] A further technical solution is that the shovel component includes a shovel handle, a shovel bucket, and an insertable blade. The bottom end of the shovel handle is inserted into a shovel handle sleeve, the top end of the shovel handle is provided with a shovel bucket, and the bottom of the shovel bucket is provided with a blade groove in which the insertable blade is installed.
[0009] A further technical solution is that the shovel handle and the bucket are integrally formed.
[0010] A further technical solution is that the insertable blade is a flat-edged blade.
[0011] A further technical solution is that the insertable blade is a convex blade.
[0012] A further technical solution is that the insertable blade is a notched blade.
[0013] A further technical solution is that a first ball joint is fixed to one side of the lower end of the telescopic rod. The first ball joint is used to install a mobile phone holder. When in use, the mobile phone is installed on the mobile phone holder, and the mobile phone communicates with the rechargeable Bluetooth camera in real time.
[0014] A further technical solution is that a bracket is fixed to one side of the upper end of the telescopic rod, the bracket fixes a second ball joint, the second ball joint fixes a third ball joint through a camera connecting rod, and the third ball joint is used to install a rechargeable Bluetooth camera.
[0015] A further technical solution also includes a traction rope, the top end of which is connected to a bracket.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] (1) This utility model uses a combination of a bucket and an insert blade to allow the moss and lichen samples scooped up by the blade to enter the bucket for collection, thus avoiding the need to collect samples by climbing trees and improving the quality and efficiency of sampling.
[0018] (2) This device uses a rechargeable Bluetooth camera installed at the top to visualize the sampling, which improves the sampling accuracy, avoids the blindness of sampling by rubbing with pruning shears, reduces damage to the epiphytic layer of trees, and also has the function of taking pictures to preserve photos of each type of tree on the bark.
[0019] (3) This device is equipped with three different shaped insert blades to deal with different kinds of tree epiphytic mosses and lichens, which can be flexibly replaced to improve sampling efficiency. Attached Figure Description
