[0018] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model to achieve its intended purpose, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Detailed description follows.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-2This utility model provides a technical solution: an environmental ecological biological monitoring and tracking device, including a main base 1, on which four traction towers 2 are fixedly installed. Each of the four traction towers 2 is equipped with a steel cable traction structure, and traction steel cables 3 are installed on the steel cable traction structures. A hoisting frame 4 connects the traction steel cables 3. A turntable 5 is rotatably installed at the lower end of the hoisting frame 4. An elevation frame 6 is fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the turntable 5. A monitoring camera 7 is rotatably installed on the elevation frame 6. If the distance between the hoisting towers is far enough, the main base 1 can be abandoned, and the device can be monitored over valleys, large animal and botanical gardens, or river valleys through long-distance hoisting via the traction towers 2 and traction steel cables 3. By using four or more traction towers 2 and steel cable traction structures, the position of the monitoring camera 7 can be adjusted and controlled, making large-scale ecological environment biological tracking and monitoring possible.
[0020] In this embodiment, a steering motor 8 is fixedly installed inside the hoisting frame 4, and a drive gear 9 is fixedly installed at the drive end of the steering motor 8. A driven gear 10 is fixedly installed outside the turntable 5, and the drive gear and the driven gear 10 are meshed and connected. A pitch motor 11 is fixedly installed on the pitch frame 6, and the drive end of the pitch motor 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the monitoring camera 7.
[0021] In this embodiment, the steel cable traction structure includes a winch 12 and a guide pulley 13. The guide pulley 13 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the traction tower 2. The winch 12 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the traction tower 2. The steel cable traction rope is connected to the drive end of the winch 12 and is mounted on the upper end of the guide pulley 13.
[0022] In this embodiment, a positioning antenna 14 is fixedly installed on the hoisting frame 4, and a marker light 15 is fixedly installed on the lower wall of the hoisting frame 4.
[0023] In this embodiment, a solar panel 16 is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the hoisting frame 4.
[0024] In this embodiment, an infrared illuminator 17 is fixedly installed on the lower wall of the hoisting frame 4, and an auxiliary radar 18 is fixedly installed on the lower wall of the hoisting frame 4.
[0025] In this embodiment, a control box 19 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the side wall of the traction tower 2.
[0026] Its detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in this field; such as Figure 1-2As shown, based on the terrain and monitoring needs of the monitoring area, four (or more) traction towers 2 are installed at suitable locations. Ensure the spacing between the traction towers 2 covers the target ecological monitoring range. A winch 12 and guide pulley 13 are fixedly installed on each traction tower 2, and the traction steel cable 3 is sequentially passed through the guide pulley 13 of each traction tower 2 to form a stable steel cable network structure. If site conditions permit, a main base 1 can be installed in the central area; if the site span is large (such as valleys, river valleys, etc.), long-distance hoisting can be carried out using only the traction towers 2 and steel cables. The hoisting frame 4 is suspended from the steel cable network via the traction steel cable 3, ensuring that the hoisting frame 4 can move smoothly on the steel cable. A turntable 5, a pitch frame 6, and a monitoring camera 7 are installed at the lower end of the hoisting frame 4. The steering motor 8 and the pitch motor 11 are connected and debugged to ensure that the camera can automatically adjust in both horizontal and pitch directions. The positioning antenna 14, solar panel 16, infrared illuminator 17, auxiliary radar 18, and marker light 15 are installed at the corresponding positions on the hoisting frame 4 as required, and each module is ensured to function normally. Connect all electrical and signal cables to the control box 19 on the hoisting frame 4 to complete the setup of the equipment power supply and signal system.
[0027] Start the control box 19 to perform initial debugging of the winch 12, testing the tension of the steel cable traction and the flexibility of the lifting frame 4's movement. Set the initial parameters of the monitoring camera 7 in the background or control terminal, including the shooting angle, focal length, and preset cruise path. Debug the steering motor 8 and pitch motor 11 to ensure the camera can achieve omnidirectional rotation and pitch shooting as instructed. Check the functions of the solar panel 16, infrared illuminator 17, positioning antenna 14, auxiliary radar 18, and marker lights 15 to ensure they are working properly.
[0028] The winch 12 is remotely controlled via a control terminal (such as a computer or tablet) to move the hoisting frame 4 between different traction towers 2 and adjust the specific position of the monitoring camera 7. The monitoring camera 7 and related sensors are activated to collect ecological data and image information of the target area in real time and transmit it to the monitoring platform wirelessly or via wired connection. Based on actual needs, the monitoring camera 7 can be operated automatically, perform fixed-point shooting, or target tracking, dynamically adjusting the monitoring area and monitoring strategy. The equipment's operating status is checked regularly, and key components such as the winch 12, steel cables, and cameras are maintained promptly to ensure long-term stable operation.
