Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grazing control equipment, specifically to a precision grazing control device for desert grasslands. Background Technology

[0002] In arid steppe regions, overgrazing often leads to vegetation destruction and ecological degradation, impacting sustainable development. Traditional grazing control equipment struggles to accurately monitor grazing intensity and vegetation growth, failing to effectively regulate livestock grazing areas in a timely manner. This can result in some areas of pasture being overgrazed while others remain underutilized. To address these issues, there is an urgent need to design a device capable of real-time monitoring and precise control of grazing to ensure the sustainability of pasture ecosystems and the healthy development of animal husbandry. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a precise grazing control device for desert grasslands, which solves the problem that existing grazing control equipment is unable to control grazing operations according to the growth of pasture grass in desert grasslands.

[0004] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A precision grazing control device for desert grasslands includes a central processing unit (CPU), multiple monitoring components, and multiple sound-based deterrence components, all wirelessly connected to the CPU. The monitoring components include a video sensor for acquiring livestock image information and a spectral sensor for acquiring pasture spectral information. The sound-based deterrence components include a speaker, a sound sensor, and a soundproofing mechanism. The CPU activates the speaker when livestock enter areas with low vegetation cover, playing a deterrent sound. The sound sensor detects the duration of the speaker playback, causing the soundproofing mechanism to periodically mute the speaker. This control device, by playing deterrent sounds in areas with low vegetation cover, prevents overgrazing in poorly growing pastures, monitors grazing intensity, and allows previously grazed pastures to recover after livestock move to other pasture areas, promoting sustainable grassland ecosystem development and enabling ranch managers to conduct grazing activities in an orderly manner.

[0006] As a further optimization of this utility model, the speaker includes a cabinet and multiple speakers, which are arranged in a ring array on the outer side wall of the cabinet.

[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, the control device also includes a base and a mounting column fixed on the top of the base, and the sound insulation mechanism includes a sound insulation cover slidably disposed on the outside of the mounting column, and a lifting component for driving the sound insulation cover to move up and down.

[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the soundproof cover has an opening facing downwards, and the inner edge of the bottom of the soundproof cover is chamfered.

[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the lifting component includes a lead screw, a nut assembly threaded onto the lead screw, a connecting plate fixed between the nut assembly and the soundproof cover, and a rotary drive component for rotating the lead screw.

[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the sound insulation mechanism also includes an assembly plate fixed to the inside of the mounting column, the top end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the assembly plate, and the bottom end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the base.

[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the side wall of the mounting column is provided with a strip-shaped through hole corresponding to the connecting plate.

[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, a baffle plate for blocking the through hole is fixed on the connecting plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention collects livestock image information through a video sensor and pasture spectral information through a spectral sensor. After receiving the information, the central processing unit activates a sound system when livestock enters an area with low vegetation coverage to drive them away. This can prevent overgrazing in areas with poor pasture growth, monitor grazing intensity, and allow the previously grazed pasture to recover after the livestock are moved to other pasture areas, thus achieving sustainable development of the grassland ecosystem and ensuring the orderly conduct of grazing activities.

[0015] This invention sets up multiple sound sensors around each monitoring pile to detect the loudness and duration of the sound played by the speaker, preventing the sound volume from being too high and turning off the speaker after the set duration is reached. This prevents livestock from suffering long-term stress damage due to prolonged playback of stimulating sounds and protects the livestock.

[0016] This invention features a speaker system with an array of speaker modules. When livestock appear in areas with low vegetation coverage, the central processing unit controls the speakers facing the livestock to play sound through the controller, making the sound emitted by the speaker more directional and enabling the sound to effectively reach the livestock's ears, thereby reducing the power consumption required to play the sound.

[0017] This invention also limits the sound of the speaker through a sound insulation mechanism. After the playback time reaches the set time, the rotating drive component, in conjunction with the lead screw and nut pair, causes the connecting plate to move the sound insulation cover down, blocking the speaker on the enclosure. This enhances the dustproof effect of the speaker and prevents the speaker from playing irritating sounds to livestock for a long time if it cannot be turned off due to a malfunction, thus avoiding adverse effects on grazing.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment relates to a precision grazing control device for desert grasslands. In this embodiment, the control device is deployed on the Ordos desert grassland. Multiple monitoring points are rationally set up in the grassland pasture according to the terrain and the distribution of pasture grass, and a control center is established. The control device includes a central processing unit 1 located in the control center, and multiple monitoring piles capable of wirelessly communicating with the central processing unit 1. Each monitoring pile is equipped with a video sensor 2, a spectral sensor 3, a speaker 4, and a sound sensor 5. The multiple monitoring piles are respectively located at each monitoring point. The video sensor 2 and the spectral sensor 3 form the monitoring component of the monitoring pile, and the speaker 4 and the sound sensor 5 form the sound driving component of the monitoring pile. The video sensor 2 is preferably a high-definition camera with wide-angle shooting function, the spectral sensor 3 is preferably a hyperspectral imager, and the sound sensor 5 is preferably an AWA6292. The central processing unit 1 is connected to the monitoring component and the sound driving component of each monitoring pile via wireless signal. The control center is equipped with a display connected to the central processing unit 1, and the pasture manager can view the pasture operation status of each monitoring point through the display in the control center.

[0025] During grazing, video sensors 2 collect livestock images at various monitoring points in the pasture, and spectral sensors 3 collect pasture spectral information. The video sensors 2 and spectral sensors 3 wirelessly transmit the collected information to a central processing unit 1. The central processing unit 1 identifies livestock characteristics and analyzes vegetation coverage based on the pasture spectral information. Areas with vegetation coverage below a set value are designated as low-vegetation-coverage areas. When the central processing unit 1 identifies livestock characteristics in a low-vegetation-coverage area, it activates a speaker 4 to play a sound to drive the livestock away. This sound can be the barking of a predator or a loud crack of a whip. The central processing unit 1's methods of identifying livestock characteristics and analyzing vegetation coverage based on spectral information are common knowledge and will not be elaborated upon further.

[0026] The sound played by speaker 4 effectively deters livestock from overgrazing in areas with poor pasture growth. After livestock are moved to other pasture areas, the previously grazed grasses are allowed to recover, promoting sustainable grassland ecology and ensuring orderly grazing. Furthermore, when speaker 4 plays sound, a sound sensor 5 detects its volume. If the volume exceeds a threshold, speaker 4 lowers its volume. Additionally, once the sound sensor 5 detects that the sound playback duration has reached a set time, speaker 4 stops playing sound, ensuring effective deterrence while avoiding long-term stress on livestock.

[0027] To enhance the deterrent effect, the control device is equipped with a speaker system 4 featuring an array of loudspeaker modules. Specifically, as... Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the speaker 4 includes a polygonal prism-shaped enclosure 41 and multiple speakers 42 disposed on the outer wall of the enclosure 41, as well as a controller 43 and a power amplifier 44 disposed inside the enclosure 41. The controller 43 is connected to each speaker 42 through the power amplifier 44. The control device also includes a base 7 and a hollow mounting column 8 fixed to the top of the base 7. Video sensors 2 and spectral sensors 3 are both disposed on the top of the mounting column 8, and at least two video sensors 2 and two spectral sensors 3 are disposed on the mounting column 8 of each monitoring post. The speaker 4 is fixedly fitted onto the lower part of the mounting column 8, and the mounting column 8 passes through the enclosure 41 from the center of the speaker 4. The speakers 42 on the same enclosure 41 have different orientations, and multiple speakers 42 are distributed in a ring array on the outer wall of the enclosure 41. The sound sensor 5 of each sound driving component corresponds one-to-one with a speaker 42. When livestock appear in areas with low vegetation coverage, the central processing unit 1 controls the speaker 42 facing the livestock to play sound through the controller 43, so that the sound emitted by the speaker 4 has better directionality and the sound can be effectively transmitted to the livestock's ears, which can reduce the power consumption required to play the sound.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment also uses a sound insulation mechanism 6 to limit the sound of the speaker 42. The sound insulation mechanism 6 can block the speaker 42 after the playback time reaches a set time. Figure 3 As shown, the sound insulation mechanism 6 is mounted on the mounting post 8. The sound insulation mechanism 6 includes a soundproof cover 61 slidably disposed on the outside of the mounting post 8, and a lifting component for driving the soundproof cover 61 to move up and down. The soundproof cover 61 has a downward-facing opening, and the inner edge of the bottom of the soundproof cover 61 is chamfered. A certain gap is formed between the side wall of the soundproof cover 61 and the side wall of the speaker enclosure 41 to prevent the soundproof cover 61 from colliding with the enclosure 41 when moving up and down. The bottom wall of the soundproof cover 61 has a corresponding insertion hole for the mounting post 8. The lifting component includes a lead screw 62, a nut assembly 63 threaded onto the lead screw 62, a connecting plate 64 fixed between the nut assembly 63 and the soundproof cover 61, and a rotary drive 65 for rotating the lead screw 62. The base 7 has an assembly chamber corresponding to the rotary drive 65. Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the lifting component can be disposed on the outside of the monitoring post, as long as it can drive the soundproof cover 61 to move up and down.

[0029] An assembly plate 66 is fixedly installed inside the mounting column 8. The two ends of the lead screw 62 are rotatably mounted on the assembly plate 66 and the bottom wall of the base 7, respectively, and the lead screw 62 penetrates the top wall of the base 7. A strip-shaped through hole H corresponding to the connecting plate 64 is provided on the side wall of the mounting column 8. A baffle 67 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 64, fitting against the inner wall of the mounting column 8 to block the through hole H and prevent dust and rainwater from entering the interior of the mounting column 8. The upper part of the baffle 67 penetrates the assembly plate 66. The rotary drive component 65 is preferably a drive component with a worm gear transmission mechanism. This rotary drive component 65 includes a motor fixed in the assembly chamber inside the base 7, a worm fixed in the output end of the motor, and a worm wheel meshing with one side of the worm. The worm wheel of the rotary drive component 65 is fixed to the bottom outer side of the lead screw 62. Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the above-mentioned lifting component can be replaced by devices with telescopic functions such as electric cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, or hydraulic cylinders.

[0030] Figure 2 and Figure 3 The monitoring pile shown is in sound playback mode. When no sound is playing, the soundproof cover 61 is fitted onto the outside of the housing 41, with the connecting plate 64 and nut assembly 63 positioned at the bottom of the through hole H. Before the speaker 42 begins playing sound, the rotary drive 65 drives the lead screw 62 to rotate. The mounting column 8 limits the soundproof cover 61 and the connecting plate 64, and the nut assembly 63 moves upward under the action of the lead screw 62. Furthermore, the nut assembly 63 drives the soundproof cover 61 to move upward synchronously through the connecting plate 64, causing the soundproof cover 61 to... Figure 3 The positions shown in the image are consistent, thus removing the obstruction of the speaker 42. After the speaker 42 has played for the set time, the rotary drive 65 drives the lead screw 62 to rotate in the opposite direction. The nut assembly 63 moves downward under the action of the lead screw 62, and the nut assembly 63 drives the soundproof cover 61 to move downward synchronously through the connecting plate 64, so that the soundproof cover 61 is fitted onto the outside of the enclosure 41, blocking the sound of each speaker 42 on the enclosure 41. This prevents the speaker 42 from playing irritating sounds to livestock for a long time when it cannot be turned off due to a malfunction, avoiding adverse effects on grazing, and also protects the speaker 42 from dust, enhancing the dustproof capability of the speaker 4.

[0031] In other embodiments, the central processing unit 1, in conjunction with the video sensor 2, performs image acquisition and feature recognition of the pasture to analyze the vegetation growth status. Based on the image information acquired by the video sensor 2, the number, type, and distribution of livestock in the pasture can be statistically analyzed, allowing pasture managers to estimate grazing intensity. The spectral sensor 3, based on the spectral characteristics of pasture at different health conditions and growth stages, works with the central processing unit 1 to analyze the pasture's growth status, nutritional composition, and whether it is affected by pests or diseases, thus providing strong support for vegetation growth monitoring.

[0032] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
