[0002] Animal sound recorders, also known as animal sound recorders, are devices specifically designed to collect and record animal sounds in the wild. These instruments can be placed outdoors and automatically record the sounds of animals in the surrounding environment. They are suitable for ecological acoustics research and animal behavior research, and are widely used in various fields such as ecological research, animal behavior research, nature reserve management, and wildlife conservation.

[0003] Existing high-fidelity animal recording equipment and AI recognition systems are mostly integrated into a single device housing. This integrated design lacks flexibility in use. In the wild, without a continuous power supply, the AI ​​and network modules will not function properly. However, the integrated design not only increases procurement and usage costs but also raises the risk of damage to expensive components. Typically, the battery compartment is placed together with the main body, but the AI ​​computing unit, due to its high cost, requires special protection. The integrated design is not conducive to the focused protection of high-value components. When transmission or solar power is required, these components usually need to be placed in a high position to obtain sufficient light and signal quality. However, the raw audio files are usually placed together with the microphone acquisition equipment, which is not suitable for placement in a high position, resulting in certain limitations in terms of practicality and protection of valuable components.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an AI-based animal acoustic sampling device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
