[0002] Monitoring and management of diseases in Chinese medicinal herbs is a systematic agricultural technology measure. It aims to provide scientific basis for optimizing prevention and control decisions by observing and collecting data on the dynamic occurrence of diseases (such as root rot, wilt, and leaf spot) in the growth environment of Chinese medicinal herbs, thereby ensuring the quality and yield of medicinal herbs.

[0003] In the early days, monitoring of diseases in Chinese medicinal herbs mainly relied on manual field inspections. To reduce the intensity of manual labor, cameras are now often used to replace manual monitoring. Cameras can capture visual information such as the shape, color, and texture of Chinese medicinal plant plants. This information is the most direct and crucial basis for identifying disease symptoms. However, cameras can only perform simple disease monitoring. When people see that the diseases and pests of Chinese medicinal herbs are relatively serious through the monitoring images, they cannot immediately control the diseases and pests by spraying pesticides. People need to go to the field to spray pesticides, which increases the intensity of their labor.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a monitoring device for the management of diseases in Chinese medicinal herbs to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

Its model number is HT018-11R02C02, which is prior art, and its specific use will not be described here. Before use, an appropriate amount of pesticide for pest and disease control needs to be injected into the pesticide tank 1. During use, the electric push rod 7 can be activated to rotate the camera 6 up and down, and the first servo motor 5 can be activated to rotate the rotating shaft 4. The rotating shaft 4 will then rotate the camera 6 laterally, allowing the camera 6 to observe the surrounding planted crops from various angles. The system monitors medicinal herbs for diseases by capturing visual information such as the shape, color, and texture of the plants, providing a basis for disease identification. The monitored data is transmitted to terminal devices for remote monitoring. When the monitoring screen shows that the medicinal herbs are severely affected by pests and diseases, the spraying mechanism can be remotely activated. The spraying mechanism can then use the pesticide in the pesticide tank to spray the surrounding medicinal herbs, thus achieving timely control of pests and diseases. This eliminates the need for manual spraying in the field, reducing labor intensity and improving control efficiency.

[0023] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the spraying mechanism includes: a plurality of support frames 8 fixedly installed on the support column 2, each of the plurality of support frames 8 being hinged with a support pipe 9, each of the plurality of support pipes 9 being fixedly installed with a diverter pipe 10, and each of the plurality of diverter pipes 10 being provided with a plurality of nozzles 11; a water pump 12 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the medicine tank 1, a delivery pipe 13 fixedly installed on the drain end of the water pump 12, a plurality of connecting pipes 14 fixedly installed on the delivery pipe 13, one end of each of the plurality of connecting pipes 14 extending to the outside of the medicine tank 1 and fixedly installed with a flexible hose 15, and one end of each of the plurality of flexible hoses 15 being fixedly connected to the plurality of support pipes 9 respectively.

[0024] In this embodiment, when the spraying mechanism is in use, the water pump 12 is remotely started.

The multiple connecting pipes 14 will transport the pesticide solution to multiple support pipes 9 through multiple hoses 15. The multiple support pipes 9 will transport the pesticide solution to multiple diversion pipes 10. Finally, it will be sprayed out from multiple nozzles 11, spraying the pesticide solution onto the surrounding Chinese medicinal herbs, thereby achieving timely prevention and control of pests and diseases.

[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, an adjustment mechanism is installed on the support column 2, which is used to adjust the operating angle of the multiple nozzles 11.

[0026] In this embodiment, by using the adjustment mechanism, the angle of the multiple nozzles 11 can be adjusted so that the multiple nozzles 11 can spray the medicine onto the Chinese medicinal materials at a greater distance.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the adjustment mechanism includes: a first cavity 16 and a second cavity 17 formed on the support column 2, wherein the inner wall of the first cavity 16 has a plurality of strip holes 18; a screw 19 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the first cavity 16, the bottom end of the screw 19 extending into the interior of the second cavity 17; a second servo motor 20 fixedly mounted on the bottom inner wall of the second cavity 17, the output shaft of the second servo motor 20 being fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw 19; a slider 21 threadedly mounted on the screw 19, wherein a plurality of connecting blocks 22 are fixedly mounted on the slider 21, and the plurality of connecting blocks 22 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the plurality of strip holes 18 respectively; and a plurality of hinge rods 23 respectively hinged to the plurality of connecting blocks 22, one end of the plurality of hinge rods 23 being hinged to the plurality of support tubes 9 respectively.

[0028] In this embodiment, during use, the second servo motor 20 can be remotely started. The second servo motor 20 will drive the screw 19 to rotate in both directions. The screw 19 will drive the slider 21 to move vertically. The slider 21 will drive multiple connecting blocks 22 to slide vertically on multiple strip holes 18. The multiple connecting blocks 22 will drive multiple support tubes 9 to rotate on multiple support frames 8 through multiple hinge rods 23, so that the multiple support tubes 9 will continuously swing up and down on the multiple support frames 8. While the multiple support tubes 9 are swinging up and down, the multiple nozzles 11 will also swing up and down together, thereby enabling the multiple nozzles 11 to spray the medicine onto the Chinese medicinal materials further away, which can expand the spraying range.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a dosing tube is provided on the top of the medicine box 1, and a cover is provided on the dosing tube.

[0030] In this embodiment, the use of the dosing tube allows people to easily add pesticides for pest and disease control into the medicine tank 1.
