[0040] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the automatically installed outdoor monitoring equipment in this embodiment includes:

[0043] Functional compartment 1 includes outer shell 11, antenna 12 and internal module; the back of outer shell 11 is provided with strip-shaped through hole structure 111, and mounting strip 2 passes through strip-shaped through hole structure 111.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the internal modules include a microprocessor, an accelerometer, a communication module, a satellite positioning module, and a lithium battery. The accelerometer, communication module, satellite positioning module, and lithium battery are all connected to the microprocessor. A solar panel 113 is mounted on the outer casing 11 and is connected to the lithium battery. The front of the outer casing 11 is surrounded by metal, with the solar panel 113 located in the center.

[0045] Satellite positioning module: Obtains positioning information using the MC60 module independently developed by Shanghai Quectel. This module provides location services through BD and supports multiple satellite navigation systems such as BeiDou, GPS, GLONASS, and QZSS.

[0046] The system employs a power supply solution combining solar charging and lithium batteries. The lithium batteries provide stable power, ensuring normal operation even without an external power source. Solar panels charge the lithium batteries, extending the device's runtime and enabling extended outdoor operation without frequent battery replacements. Solar power can be managed using low-light solar energy combined with MPPT (Multi-Level Photovoltaic) charging, and can also be maximized for charging under forest cover.

[0047] Communication module: The communication module transmits the acquired positioning data to the server, enabling users to query the terminal's location on a computer; it supports wireless data transmission and can use 4G, 5G, or satellite communication to ensure that data can be remotely transmitted to the monitoring center.

[0048] Accelerometer: Used to monitor the motion of equipment, such as the swaying of trees or theft.

[0049] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting strap 2, connected to the outer casing 11, is a flexural strap structure with bending memory. The mounting strap 2 includes a memory metal layer 21 and an outer wrapping layer 22, with the outer wrapping layer 22 covering the outside of the memory metal layer 21. A mounting hole 23 is provided in the middle of the mounting strap 2, through which screws 112 pass to fix the mounting strap 2 to the outer casing 11. The outer wrapping layer 22 is made of silicone rubber, a material with excellent UV resistance, weather resistance, and a high coefficient of friction. To improve installation stability, anti-slip protrusions 24 (0.5-1mm high) can be provided on the outer side of the mounting strap 2.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] Unlike Example 1, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting strap 2 in this embodiment has hanging posts 25 at both ends. These hanging posts 25 are located on non-contact surfaces. After installation on the outside of the tree, the device is secured to the tree by reinforcement members 26 to prevent the mounting strap 2 from retracting or falling off. The reinforcement members 26 can be structures such as rubber bands, cable ties, or curved spring clips to connect the two hanging posts 25 together, achieving complete wrapping of the tree.

[0052] In use, the device is installed using a long rod with an electromagnet at the top. The outer casing 11 is magnetically attached to the rod, lifted to a suitable position, and the rod is swung so that the device impacts the tree trunk 3. The mounting strap 2, being a snap-on structure, will spring back to its curled state under stress, wrapping around the tree trunk 3, thus completing the installation. Installation can also be performed using drones or other similar equipment.

[0053] When the length of the installation strap 2 cannot effectively match the installation position (e.g., the trunk circumference of the tree being installed is very long, but the length of the installation strap is not long enough to encircle the trunk), in order to prevent it from falling off, a special clamp is used to hang an arc-shaped spring between two hanging posts 25, so that the installation strap 2 is locked and will not fall off when restored.

[0054] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not described in detail here. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
