Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural greenhouse monitoring technology, specifically an agricultural greenhouse planting environment monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with economic development and improved living standards, the demand for agricultural products is growing stronger worldwide. However, agricultural resources are becoming increasingly scarce. Agricultural greenhouse technology is being widely applied in the cultivation of various crops, such as flowers, off-season fruits and vegetables, and various cash crops. Important environmental factors in agricultural greenhouses, such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity, can be manually adjusted and monitored through smart agricultural greenhouse monitoring devices to better meet the needs of plant growth.

[0003] A Chinese patent (publication number CN218178374U) discloses a smart agricultural greenhouse monitoring device. By setting up a forward and reverse motor, a rotating frame, an electric telescopic rod, and a movable shell, the position of the camera can be adjusted. This allows for flexible adjustment of the position of the camera inside the greenhouse, facilitating close-up observation of plant growth and improving the accuracy of smart agricultural greenhouse monitoring.

[0004] However, in actual use, the aforementioned smart agricultural greenhouse monitoring device, which drives a reversible motor to rotate and move the camera around the rotating frame, allows the camera to move in a circular motion around the translation frame. But when the plants inside the greenhouse are growing densely and the top space is limited, the camera's trajectory is very likely to collide with the surrounding dense plants. After contact, dust, soil, dew, and other substances on the plants will adhere to the surface of the camera, which may scratch the camera lens or make the lens dirty, resulting in blurry images and reducing the accuracy and effectiveness of the monitoring device in monitoring the greenhouse environment and plant growth.

The drive end of the second motor 9 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft. A first adjusting frame 12 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the first rotating shaft. A second rotating shaft is inserted into the axis of the worm wheel 13. The second rotating shaft is rotatably inserted into the bottom center of the first adjusting frame 12. A second adjusting frame 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second rotating shaft. The second adjusting frame 14 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the first adjusting frame 12. The second adjusting frame 14 is fixedly connected to the camera 16.

[0023] It should be noted that the top of the first adjustment frame 12 is respectively set on both sides of the vertical plate 25, the first adjustment frame 12 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 25, and the worm gear 13 is fixedly connected to the second adjustment frame 14 through the second rotating shaft.

[0024] In practice, the staff can start the second motor 9 to drive the worm gear 10 to rotate. When the worm gear 10 rotates, the worm wheel 13 meshing with the worm gear 10 rotates synchronously. The worm wheel 13 and the second adjustment frame 14 are connected through the second rotating shaft. When the worm wheel 13 rotates, the second rotating shaft rotates and drives the second adjustment frame 14 to rotate, which drives the camera 16 to move in a small space, so that the camera 16 can rotate around the second rotating shaft as the axis and adjust the monitoring angle.

[0025] See Figure 2 and Figure 5 A first motor 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the mounting plate 6. The first motor 8 is located on the opposite side of the second motor 9. A connector 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the first adjustment bracket 12 near the first motor 8. The drive end of the first motor 8 is fixedly connected to the connector 11.

[0026] By setting a first motor 8, when the first motor 8 is started, the first motor 8 drives the connector 11 to rotate. The first motor 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 6, and the connector 11 is fixedly installed on the top side of the first adjusting frame 12. The connector 11 is driven by the first motor 8, which can drive the first adjusting frame 12 and the vertical plate 25 to rotate around the first rotating shaft, so that the camera 16 rotates synchronously with the first adjusting frame 12 and adjusts the monitoring angle of the camera 16. A slider 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate 25. The slider 23 is shaped like a "T". An arc groove 24 is opened at the bottom of the mounting plate 6. The cross-section of the arc groove 24 is shaped like a "T". When the first motor 8 drives the connector 11 to rotate, the slider 23 moves synchronously with the connector 11 and slides inside the arc groove 24.

[0027] See Figure 3 The bottom of the second adjusting frame 14 is fixedly connected to a snap-fit ​​block 15, and the bottom of the snap-fit ​​block 15 is provided with a sliding groove. The top of the camera 16 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 17, which is slidably connected to the sliding groove. A first through hole is provided on one side of the snap-fit ​​block 15, and a round rod 18 is slidably inserted into the first through hole. A limit plate 20 is fixedly connected to the side of the round rod 18 away from the snap-fit ​​block 15. A telescopic spring 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the limit plate 20, and the telescopic spring 19 is sleeved on the outside of the round rod 18. The other end of the telescopic spring 19 is fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​block 15. A second through hole is provided on the side of the connecting plate 17 near the first through hole, and the first through hole and the second through hole are connected. The round rod 18 is movably connected to the second through hole.

[0028] When the staff inspects the camera 16, they can pull the limiting plate 20, and the telescopic spring 19 will be stretched synchronously with the movement of the limiting plate 20, so that the round rod 18 can be pulled out from the second through hole on one side of the connecting plate 17. The round rod 18 slides into the first through hole. At this time, the connecting plate 17 can be pulled out from one side of the snap-fit ​​block 15, which is convenient for further operation of the camera 16. The shape of the slide groove is set to "T" shape, and the shape of the connecting plate 17 is adapted to the "T" shaped slide groove, which is convenient for improving the stability of the connecting plate 17 when sliding. The moving direction of the round rod 18 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the connecting plate 17, which is convenient for the round rod 18 to fix the connecting plate 17, and facilitates further operation of the camera 16.

[0029] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 An installation box 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the interior of the shed 1. A drive motor 21 is fixedly installed on one side of the interior of the installation box 2. A threaded rod 3 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive motor 21.

A guide rod is fixedly installed on one side of the threaded rod 3. A third through hole is opened on the installation block 4. The guide rod is inserted into the interior of the third through hole.

[0030] By setting up a drive motor 21, the operator can start the drive motor 21 to rotate the threaded rod 3, thereby moving the electric push rod 5 to a suitable position. The threaded rod 3 and the guide rod are set parallel to each other and are both located on the inner top of the shed body 1.

[0031] See Figure 1 An electric push rod 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting block 4, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 6.

[0032] By setting up an electric push rod 5, staff can adjust the distance between the camera 16 and the object to be observed when necessary.

[0033] Working principle: When using the device, the operator can start the drive motor 21 to rotate the threaded rod 3, which will move the electric push rod 5 to a suitable position, drive the mounting plate 6 to move the camera 16, and observe the planting environment inside the agricultural greenhouse. The operator can start the second motor 9 to drive the worm gear 10 to rotate. When the worm gear 10 rotates, the worm wheel 13 meshing with the worm gear 10 rotates synchronously. The worm wheel 13 and the second adjustment frame 14 are connected through the second rotating shaft. When the worm wheel 13 rotates, the second rotating shaft rotates and drives the second adjustment frame 14 to rotate, which drives the camera 16 to move in a small space, so that the camera 16 can rotate around the second rotating shaft as the axis to adjust the monitoring angle.

[0034] When the first motor 8 is started, the first motor 8 drives the connector 11 to rotate. The first motor 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 6, and the connector 11 is fixedly installed on the top side of the first adjustment frame 12. The connector 11 is driven by the first motor 8, which can drive the first adjustment frame 12 and the vertical plate 25 to rotate around the first rotating shaft, so that the camera 16 rotates synchronously with the first adjustment frame 12 and adjusts the monitoring angle of the camera 16. When the first motor 8 drives the connector 11 to rotate, the slider 23 moves synchronously with the connector 11 and slides inside the arc groove 24.

[0035] When the staff inspects the camera 16, they can pull the limiting plate 20, and the telescopic spring 19 will be stretched synchronously with the movement of the limiting plate 20, so that the round rod 18 can be pulled out from the second through hole on one side of the connecting plate 17. The round rod 18 slides into the first through hole. At this time, the connecting plate 17 can be pulled out from one side of the snap block 15, which is convenient for further operation of the camera 16.
