Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fish behavior observation technology, and in particular to a device for observing and recording the behavior of longfin gudgeon. Background Technology
[0002] The longfin gudgeon is a small freshwater fish belonging to the genus *Gudgeon* in the family Cyprinidae. It gets its name from the fact that its pectoral fins extend to the base of its pelvic fins. It has a slender body, a protruding snout, a bluish-gray back, and a silvery-white belly. It inhabits the middle and lower layers of rivers and prefers sandy or rocky bottoms.
[0003] Longfin gudgeon is a typical flowing-water fish. Its feeding, reproduction, and predator avoidance behaviors are closely related to fast-flowing environments. However, detailed data on its natural state is scarce. Therefore, it is necessary to use observation and recording devices to record its diurnal activity patterns, schooling behavior, and substrate preferences in order to analyze its adaptive mechanisms to special habitats. However, the camera angle of traditional observation and recording devices is usually fixed, making it inconvenient to adjust the angle. Since the aquarium is a three-dimensional space, longfin gudgeon may move in the upper, middle, lower, or corner layers of the water. Fixed cameras cannot cover all areas. When key behaviors such as reproduction, fighting, and foraging may occur in specific locations, the fixed angle will lead to missing data. At the same time, it is not convenient to disassemble the camera. Therefore, the aquarium environment is prone to algae growth or sediment. After the lens is damaged, it cannot be quickly disassembled and cleaned, resulting in blurred images and reduced data quality. Utility Model Content

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0030] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] Reference Figures 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a longfin gudgeon behavior observation and recording device, including a cylinder 1, a transparent partition 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 1, a base 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 1, a camera 4 for observing the behavior of the longfin gudgeon is arranged above the base 3, a disassembly component 5 is arranged on one side of the camera 4, and an adjustment component 6 is arranged on one side of the disassembly component 5.
[0033] The longfin gudgeon is raised in tank 1. Because the transparent partition 2 is fixed to the inner wall of tank 1, the transparent mechanism allows the camera 4 to easily observe and monitor the gudgeon, preventing it from swimming behind the camera 4 and improving the camera's observation effect. The tank 1 is equipped with vegetation inside to provide shelter and attract the gudgeon, facilitating their movement to the vicinity of the camera 4 for observation. The inner wall of tank 1 is connected to an inlet and outlet water pipe. The base 3 facilitates the support frame 7 for secure mounting. The disassembly component 5 allows for easy disassembly of the camera 4, preventing slow repairs in case of damage. The adjustment component 6 allows for easy adjustment of the camera 4's angle, increasing its observation range and providing more accurate data. The camera 4 has high-definition imaging capabilities, clearly capturing the subtle behaviors of the longfin gudgeon. Its wide-angle design expands the observation range and reduces blind spots. It should be noted that the camera 4 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0034] The disassembly assembly 5 includes a first mounting frame 51 fixed to one side of the camera 4, and a second mounting frame 52 is fixedly connected to one side of the first mounting frame 51 by bolts.
[0035] Since the first mounting frame 51 is fixed to one side of the camera 4 by bolts, and the first mounting frame 51 and the second mounting frame 52 are also installed by bolts, the camera 4 can be disassembled when all the bolts are removed.
[0036] The adjustment assembly 6 includes a sleeve rod 61 fixed to the inner wall of the first mounting frame 51, a slide rod 62 slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve rod 61, and a first adjustment ring 63 and a second adjustment ring 64 slidably connected to the outer side of the sleeve rod 61 respectively.
[0037] When the sleeve rod 61 moves, it will slide on the outside of the slide rod 62. At the same time, when the first adjusting ring 63 rotates, the sleeve rod 61 can slide on its inner wall and adjust the angle. When the second adjusting ring 64 rotates, the sleeve rod 61 can slide on its inner wall and adjust the angle.
[0038] Example 2:
[0039] This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0040] Specifically, a support frame 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 3, a fixing block 8 is provided above the support frame 7, and mounting brackets 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing block 8.
[0041] Because the support frame 7 has a two-leg design, the stability during installation is improved. The fixing block 8 is used to support the two sets of mounting frames 9. The mounting frame 9 can be easily connected to the fixing block 8.
[0042] Specifically, the bottom of the mounting bracket 9 is fixedly connected to a first mounting plate 10, the bottom of the first mounting plate 10 is fixedly connected to a first motor 11 for driving the first adjusting ring 63, and the bottom of the first motor 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 3.
[0043] Since the first mounting plate 10 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting bracket 9, the stability of the mounting bracket 9 can improve the stability of the first motor 11 during installation. The rotation of the first motor 11 can drive the first adjusting ring 63 to rotate.
[0044] Specifically, a second mounting plate 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket 9, and a second motor 13 for driving the second adjusting ring 64 is fixedly connected to one side of the second mounting plate 12.
[0045] Since the second mounting plate 12 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting bracket 9, the stability of the mounting bracket 9 can improve the stability of the second motor 13 during installation. The rotation of the second motor 13 can drive the second adjusting ring 64 to rotate.
[0046] Example 3:
[0047] This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0048] Specifically, a top plate 14 is provided above the mounting bracket 9, and a third motor 15 is installed on the top of the top plate 14.
[0049] A mounting housing for mounting the third motor 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 14. The rotation of the third motor 15 can easily drive the threaded rod 16 to rotate.
[0050] Specifically, the output end of the third motor 15 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 16, and the outer side of the threaded rod 16 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 8. Two sets of mounting columns 17 are fixedly connected between the support frame 7 and the top plate 14, and the outer sides of the two sets of mounting columns 17 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 8.
[0051] The rotation of the threaded rod 16 facilitates the lifting and lowering of the fixed block 8, thereby lifting and lowering the mounting bracket 9 fixed on one side of the fixed block 8. At the same time, since there are two sets of mounting columns 17 sliding on the inner wall of the fixed block 8, the stability of the fixed block 8 during lifting and lowering is improved, and deviation is avoided.
[0052] Specifically, the inner wall of the mounting bracket 9 is fixedly connected to the housing 18, and the housing 18 is spherical.
[0053] The housing 18 facilitates connection with the mounting bracket 9.
[0054] Specifically, the inner wall of the housing 18 is movably connected to the connector 19, and the outer side of the connector 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the slide rod 62.
[0055] The slide rod 62 can be moved at any angle by sliding on the inner wall of the housing 18 via the connector 19.
[0056] Specifically, the top of the top plate 14 is fixedly connected to a protective shell 20 for fixing the third motor 15.
[0057] By providing a protective casing 20, the third motor 15 can be easily protected.
[0058] Specifically, the inner wall of the protective shell 20 is rotatably connected to a bearing 21, and the inner wall of the bearing 21 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 16.
[0059] By setting bearing 21, friction is reduced when the threaded rod 16 rotates.
[0060] During use, when observing the behavior of the longfin gudgeon inside the cylinder 1, the camera 4 is activated for monitoring. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the camera 4, the third motor 15 is activated first. The rotation of the third motor 15 drives the threaded rod 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixing block 8 to rise. The rise of the fixing block 8 drives the mounting bracket 9 to rise, thereby driving the sliding rod 62 and the sleeve rod 61 to rise, which in turn drives the camera 4 to rise. When it rises to the appropriate height, the third motor 15 is turned off. Then, the first motor 11 is activated, and the rotation of the first motor 11 drives the first adjustment... The joint ring 63 rotates, thereby driving the sleeve rod 61 to move on the inner wall of the second adjusting ring 64, thus adjusting the angle of the camera 4. When the appropriate angle is reached, the first motor 11 is turned off, and the second motor 13 is turned on. The rotation of the second motor 13 drives the second adjusting ring 64 to rotate, thereby driving the sleeve rod 61 to slide on the inner wall of the first adjusting ring 63, thus adjusting the angle of the camera 4, so as to observe the longfin gudgeon in different positions. When it is necessary to disassemble the camera 4, the screws in the first mounting frame 51 are removed, and the camera 4 is disassembled from the second mounting frame 52.
[0061] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
