[0002] Red imported fire ants, native to South America, are a highly invasive and destructive species that pose a significant threat to public safety and ecosystems. Therefore, using intelligent monitoring devices to track their occurrence is crucial for early eradication and control. Some intelligent monitoring devices lure red imported fire ants into the device, using built-in cameras and wireless transmission modules to capture images and upload the data to a server for analysis.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222016643U, which discloses a real-time intelligent miniature monitoring station for red imported fire ants, relating to the field of monitoring technology. The station includes a camera and a detachable support rod connected to the bottom of the camera. The camera includes a main housing, a motherboard and a power management module housed within the main housing, and a camera and a supplementary light embedded in the center of the bottom of the main housing. The motherboard, camera, and supplementary light are electrically connected to the power management module. This invention uses a main control chip to set the monitoring time and number of monitoring sessions via a PC, causing the camera to automatically complete the image acquisition at the set time. After automatic acquisition, the wireless communication module uploads the acquired location and images to a server, enabling the server to intelligently analyze the images. Upon completion of the analysis, the server immediately sends the results to a mobile device, facilitating manual observation and processing via the mobile device, reducing the workload of red imported fire ant monitoring and improving work efficiency.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Specific implementation examples are given below.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a smart monitoring device for red imported fire ants, including a detection housing 1; a camera 5 is provided at the bottom of the detection housing 1, a support housing 2 is in contact with the bottom of the detection housing 1, an installation assembly is provided at the bottom of the detection housing 1, a fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the detection housing 1, a collection shell 41 is provided on the outer wall of the bottom of the fixing plate 4, a through groove 43 is opened at the top of the collection shell 41, the outer wall of the bottom of the fixing plate 4 is specifically inserted into the middle of the through groove 43, a discharge shell 42 is in contact with the bottom of the collection shell 41, the discharge shell 42 is provided on the outer wall of the bottom of the fixing plate 4, a rectangular plate 46 is slidably connected to the middle of the fixing plate 4, and the side wall of the bottom of the rectangular plate 46... A locking block 48 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the fixed plate 4, and the top of the locking block 48 contacts the bottom of the discharge shell 42. A slider 45 is fixedly connected to the top side wall of the rectangular plate 46, and the slider 45 is slidably connected to the side wall of the fixed plate 4. The side wall of the locking block 48 is set as an inclined surface. Multiple sets of through slots 43 are provided, and multiple sets of through slots 43 are opened at the top of the discharge shell 42. The bottom outer wall of the fixed plate 4 is inserted into the middle of the multiple sets of through slots 43. During operation, the collection shell 41 and the discharge shell 42 are sequentially fitted onto the outer wall of the fixed plate 4. Before installing the discharge shell 42, the inducing material is placed inside it. Then, the installation assembly is used to... The detection shell 1 and the support shell 2 are installed together. Both the feeding shell 42 and the collection shell 41 have perforations for ventilation. The outer wall of the support shell 2 also has ventilation holes to ensure that red imported fire ants can enter smoothly. When the red imported fire ants enter the inner wall of the support shell 2, they will fall into the collection shell 41 and will not come into direct contact with the attractant material in the feeding shell 42, thus reducing the rate of attractant material loss. The camera 5 can take pictures of the red imported fire ants and upload them for analysis. When it is necessary to clean the red imported fire ants in the middle of the support shell 2, the detection shell 1 can be removed from the top of the support shell 2. The detection shell 1 will be fixed to the collection shell 41 by the fixing plate 4. Pull out the discharge shell 42 at the same time, and then push the slider 45. The slider 45 will drive the rectangular plate 46 and the locking block 48 to move synchronously, so that the locking block 48 does not contact the discharge shell 42. In this way, the discharge shell 42 and the collection shell 41 can be disassembled in turn. During installation, the collection shell 41 is directly inserted into the middle of the through groove 43. During the insertion process, the collection shell 41 will be pushed along the inclined surface of the locking block 48 into the middle of the fixing plate 4 until the locking block 48 is disengaged from the middle of the through groove 43. At this time, the locking block 48 will be reset under the elastic action of the spring 47, blocking the collection shell 41 or the discharge shell 42. The installation method of the discharge shell 42 is the same as above, which is quick and convenient.
[0027] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the mounting assembly includes a rectangular frame 3, which is fixed to the bottom of the detection housing 1. The outer wall of the top of the support housing 2 contacts the inner wall of the rectangular frame 3. A limit block 37 is elastically connected to the middle of the rectangular frame 3 via a spring 38. The limit block 37 is slidably connected to the middle of the rectangular frame 3. One end of the spring 38 is fixed to the side wall of the limit block 37, and the other end of the spring 38 is fixed to the middle of the rectangular frame 3. A limit groove 21 is formed on the side wall of the top of the support housing 2, and the limit block 37 is inserted into the middle of the limit groove 21. A through groove 32 is formed on the side wall of the rectangular frame 3, and a sliding plate 34 is slidably connected to the middle of the through groove 32. The end of the sliding plate 34 is fixed to the end of the limit block 37. The side wall of the limit block 37 is set as an inclined surface. During operation, when the detection housing 1 and the support housing 2 are separated... Simply push the hinge block 33, and the angle of the connecting plate 31 will change. One end of the connecting plate 31 will rotate with the hinge block 33, and the other end will rotate with the sliding plate 34. The sliding plate 34 will drive the limiting block 37 to move until the limiting block 37 disengages from the middle of the limiting groove 21. Then the detection housing 1 and the support housing 2 can be separated. During installation, simply insert the top of the support housing 2 into the middle of the rectangular frame 3. During the insertion process, the support housing 2 will be pushed along the inclined surface of the limiting block 37 to move to the middle of the rectangular frame 3. The limiting block 37 will compress the spring 38 until the limiting block 37 coincides with the limiting groove 21. At this time, the spring 38 will push the limiting block 37 to reset through its own elasticity and insert it into the middle of the limiting groove 21. This completes the installation. It is quick and convenient, has a certain degree of stability, and improves practicality.
[0028] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, multiple sets of springs 47 are fixed to the side wall of the rectangular plate 46. The other end of the spring 47 is fixed to the middle of the fixed plate 4. During operation, the spring 47 has a certain elasticity. Through its own elasticity, it ensures that when the collecting shell 41 and the discharging shell 42 are installed on the outer wall of the fixed plate 4, the locking block 48 will always block the discharging shell 42 when the slider 45 is not pushed, thus ensuring the stability of the installation of the collecting shell 41 and the discharging shell 42.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, multiple sets of the fixing plate 4, slider 45, rectangular plate 46, spring 47, and locking block 48 are provided, and the multiple sets of fixing plates 4, sliders 45, rectangular plates 46, spring 47, and locking blocks 48 are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the detection housing 1 as the axis of symmetry. An arc-shaped plate 44 is fixed to one end of the slider 45, and the other end of the arc-shaped plate 44 is fixed to the end of the multiple sets of sliders 45. During operation, the fixed plates 4, sliders 45, rectangular plates 46, spring 47, and locking blocks 48 can improve the stability of the installation of the collection housing 41 and the discharge housing 42, and the arc-shaped plate 44 can synchronously control the multiple sets of sliders 45, which facilitates the disassembly of the collection housing 41 and the discharge housing 42.
[0030] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, a baffle 49 is fixed to the side wall of the fixing plate 4. The baffle 49 contacts the top of the collecting shell 41. During operation, when the collecting shell 41 and the discharging shell 42 are installed, the baffle 49 will block the collecting shell 41 to ensure the fit and stability between the collecting shell 41 and the discharging shell 42.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the other end of the sliding plate 34 is rotatably connected to a connecting plate 31, and the end of the connecting plate 31 is hinged to a hinge block 33. Multiple sets of connecting plates 31, sliding plates 34, and limiting blocks 37 are provided, and the multiple sets of connecting plates 31, sliding plates 34, and limiting blocks 37 are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the hinge block 33 as the axis of symmetry. During operation, the multiple sets can improve the stability of the installation between the detection housing 1 and the support housing 2. During disassembly, it is only necessary to push the hinge block 33 to control the multiple sets of limiting blocks 37 to move synchronously, which improves convenience.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a groove 36 is provided at the center of the side wall of the rectangular frame 3, and a sliding plate 35 is fixed to the side wall of the hinge block 33. The outer wall of the sliding plate 35 is slidably connected to the middle of the groove 36. When working, when the hinge block 33 is pushed, the sliding plate 35 will slide in the middle of the groove 36, ensuring that the hinge block 33 can move horizontally stably and improving practicality.
[0033] Working principle: The collection shell 41 and the feeding shell 42 are sequentially fitted onto the outer wall of the fixing plate 4. Before installing the feeding shell 42, the attractant material is placed inside it. Then, the detection shell 1 and the support shell 2 are installed together using the installation assembly. Both the feeding shell 42 and the collection shell 41 have perforations for ventilation. The outer wall of the support shell 2 also has ventilation holes to ensure that the red imported fire ants can enter smoothly. When the red imported fire ants enter the inner wall of the support shell 2, they will fall into the collection shell 41 and will not directly contact the attractant material in the feeding shell 42, thus reducing the rate of attractant material loss. The camera 5 can take pictures of the red imported fire ants and upload them for analysis. When it is necessary to clean the red imported fire ants in the middle of the support shell 2, the detection shell 1 can be removed. The top of the support shell 2 is removed. The detection shell 1 will pull out the collection shell 41 and the discharge shell 42 simultaneously through the fixing plate 4. Then, push the slider 45. The slider 45 will drive the rectangular plate 46 and the locking block 48 to move synchronously, so that the locking block 48 does not contact the discharge shell 42. In this way, the discharge shell 42 and the collection shell 41 can be removed in turn. During installation, the collection shell 41 is directly inserted and passes through the middle of the second through slot 43. During the insertion process, the collection shell 41 will be pushed along the inclined surface of the locking block 48 to move into the middle of the fixing plate 4 until the locking block 48 is disengaged from the middle of the second through slot 43. At this time, the locking block 48 will be reset under the elastic action of the second spring 47 to block the collection shell 41 or the discharge shell 42. The installation method of the discharge shell 42 is the same as above, which is quick and convenient.
[0034] When separating the detection housing 1 from the support housing 2, simply push the hinge block 33. This will change the angle of the connecting plate 31, causing one end of the connecting plate 31 to rotate with the hinge block 33 and the other end to rotate with the sliding plate 34. The sliding plate 34 will then move the limiting block 37 until it disengages from the center of the limiting groove 21. This will separate the detection housing 1 from the support housing 2. During installation, simply insert the top of the support housing 2 into the center of the rectangular frame 3. During insertion, the support housing 2 will be pushed along the inclined surface of the limiting block 37 to the center of the rectangular frame 3. The limiting block 37 will compress the spring 38 until it aligns with the limiting groove 21. At this point, the spring 38 will push the limiting block 37 back to its original position through its elasticity and insert it into the center of the limiting groove 21. This completes the installation quickly and conveniently, while also providing a certain degree of stability and improving practicality.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
