Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of monitoring equipment technology, specifically a slow loris bionic robot. Background Technology
[0002] Within China, slow lorises inhabit the tropical rainforests of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Yunnan Province. Monitoring plant and animal growth in these areas presents numerous challenges. Researchers expend enormous human and material resources when venturing into the forests to observe animal growth, and there is also the potential danger of damaging the species' habitat.
[0003] The existing environmental monitoring devices in China are immobile, resulting in limited monitoring range, fixed monitoring angles, single monitoring data, fixed power consumption, single power supply method, and short monitoring cycle. They also require frequent manual replacement, which affects the environment.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a slow loris bionic robot to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a slow loris bionic robot, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the limited range of movement of existing slow loris detection devices, resulting in poor monitoring effects.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a slow loris bionic robot, comprising a cableway, a movable part slidably mounted on the cableway and having an appearance resembling a slow loris, and a chip controller disposed within the movable part for controlling the operation of the device. The movable part includes a head shell, an upper body shell is rotatably mounted on one end of the head shell, and a lower body shell is snapped and fixed on the end of the upper body shell away from the head shell; The upper and lower body shells are equipped with drive components for movement on the cableway. The chip controller is located inside the upper and lower body shells. The head shell, upper body shell, lower body shell, and drive components are equipped with data acquisition and transmission components for collecting various data and connecting to the input terminal of the chip controller. In use, the cableway is fixed at the desired monitoring position, and the slow loris-shaped mobile part is slidably mounted on the cableway via the drive components. This allows the head shell, upper body shell, and lower body shell to slide on the cableway via the drive components, collecting various data through the data acquisition and transmission components. This effectively expands the monitoring range, provides more monitoring angles, enables long-term monitoring without manual replacement, and has minimal environmental impact.
[0007] Preferably, for driving the device to move, the driving assembly includes a driving plate. A first pulley plate and a second pulley plate are fixedly mounted at both ends of the driving plate. A first pulley and a second pulley, symmetrically clamped to the cableway, are rotatably mounted on the first pulley plate. A third pulley and a fourth pulley, symmetrically clamped to the cableway, are rotatably mounted on the second pulley plate. A first drive wheel and a second drive wheel are rotatably mounted on the driving plate near both ends of the first and second pulley plates. The first and second drive wheels overlap the cableway. A first stepper motor and a second stepper motor are fixedly mounted on the driving plate. The first and second stepper motors are connected to the output terminals of a chip controller. The output terminal of the first stepper motor is fixedly connected to the first drive wheel, and the output terminal of the second stepper motor is fixedly connected to the second drive wheel, thus reducing the impact on the ecological environment.
[0008] Preferably, in order to stabilize the equipment, a wiring tube is fixedly installed on the lower body shell at the end away from the upper body shell. The wiring tube is fixedly connected to the drive plate. A fixing ring is fixedly installed on the upper body shell. A steel cable hole is opened on the first pulley plate. A steel cable is fixedly connected to the fixing ring and the steel cable hole, thereby making the movement of the equipment more stable and convenient.
[0009] Preferably, in order to rotate the head housing, a first fixing ring is fixedly installed inside the lower body housing, a second fixing ring is fixedly installed inside the upper body housing, and a third fixing ring is fixedly installed inside the head housing. A receiving tube is fixedly installed between the first and second fixing rings. The chip controller is fixedly installed inside the receiving tube. A third stepper motor connected to the output terminal of the chip controller is fixedly installed on one end of the receiving tube near the third fixing ring. The output terminal of the third stepper motor is fixedly connected to the third fixing ring. This expands the monitoring range and makes it more flexible, enabling the acquisition of more diverse environmental data.
[0010] Preferably, in order to ensure stable power supply, a power supply module is integrated on the input terminal of the chip controller, and two symmetrically distributed solar panels are fixedly installed on the driver board. The solar panels are connected to the input terminal of the chip controller, which reduces the impact of human activities on the environment and is more environmentally friendly.
[0011] Preferably, for data transmission, the acquisition and transmission component includes an information transceiver module, a network connection module, and an information storage module integrated on the output of the chip controller for connecting to remote devices. The acquisition and transmission component also includes an infrared camera and a full-color camera fixedly installed on the head shell at the eye position.

The infrared camera, full-color camera, illuminance sensor, and gas sensor are connected to the input of the chip controller, eliminating the need for manual on-site data collection and improving convenience.
[0012] The robot fixes the cableway at the location to be monitored, and then slides the moving part, which mimics the shape of a slow loris, onto the cableway via a drive assembly. This allows the head shell, upper body shell, and lower body shell to slide on the cableway via the drive assembly. It also collects various types of data through a data acquisition and transmission assembly, which can effectively expand the monitoring range, provide more monitoring angles, and enable long-term monitoring without manual replacement, while having minimal environmental impact.
[0013] This robot, mimicking the movement speed of a slow loris, moves slowly along the cableway, allowing the equipment to acquire more accurate data and some missing data. At the same time, it makes the equipment quieter, more discreet, and easier to integrate into the local environment, reducing its impact on the ecological environment.
[0014] The robot is suspended high in the air, and its head shell can rotate 360° driven by a third stepper motor, giving the device more room to move and a wider field of vision. This expands the monitoring range and makes it more flexible, enabling it to obtain more diverse environmental data.
[0015] This robot provides a stable energy source for the entire device's operation. It adopts a highly efficient and energy-saving solar charging method and is programmed to move only when necessary. The device moves to a place with sufficient sunlight to use solar panels to replenish its power, allowing it to stay in the field for a long time without the need for manual power replacement. This reduces the impact of human activities on the environment and is more environmentally friendly. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0019] Example 1 This embodiment provides a slow loris bionic robot, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, the robot includes a cableway 1, a moving part that is slidably mounted on the cableway 1 and has a shape resembling a slow loris, and a chip controller 30 disposed within the moving part for controlling the operation of the equipment. The movable part includes a head shell 13, an upper body shell 14 is rotatably mounted on one end of the head shell 13, and a lower body shell 15 is snapped and fixed on the end of the upper body shell 14 away from the head shell 13. The upper body shell 14 and the lower body shell 15 are equipped with drive components for moving on the cableway 1. The chip controller 30 is located inside the upper body shell 14 and the lower body shell 15. The head shell 13, the upper body shell 14, the lower body shell 15 and the drive components are equipped with acquisition and transmission components for collecting various data and connecting to the input terminal of the chip controller 30.
[0020] In use, the cableway 1 is fixed at the location to be monitored, and then the moving part that imitates the shape of a slow loris is slidably installed on the cableway 1 through the drive component, so that the head shell 13, the upper body shell 14 and the lower body shell 15 can slide on the cableway 1 through the drive component, and collect various types of data through the acquisition and transmission component. This can effectively expand the monitoring range, provide more monitoring angles, and enable long-term monitoring without manual replacement, with minimal impact on the environment.
[0021] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a drive plate 2. A first pulley plate 3 and a second pulley plate 4 are fixedly installed at both ends of the drive plate 2. A first pulley 5 and a second pulley 6, symmetrically clamped to the cableway 1, are rotatably installed on the first pulley plate 3. A third pulley 7 and a fourth pulley 8, symmetrically clamped to the cableway 1, are rotatably installed on the second pulley plate 4. A first drive wheel 9 and a second drive wheel 10 are rotatably installed on the drive plate 2 near both ends of the first pulley plate 3 and the second pulley plate 4. The first drive wheel 9 and the second drive wheel 10 overlap the cableway 1. A first stepper motor 11 and a second stepper motor 12 are fixedly installed on the drive plate 2. The first stepper motor 11 and the second stepper motor 12 are connected to the output terminal of the chip controller 30. The output terminal of the first stepper motor 11 is fixedly connected to the first drive wheel 9, and the output terminal of the second stepper motor 12 is fixedly connected to the second drive wheel 10.
[0022] In use, the chip controller 30 controls the first stepper motor 11 and the second stepper motor 12 to start, driving the first drive wheel 9 and the second drive wheel 10. This causes the first drive wheel 9 and the second drive wheel 10 to move the entire device on the cableway 1. The device is clamped onto the cableway 1 by the first pulley 5 and the second pulley 6 on the first pulley plate 3 and the second pulley plate 4, as well as the third pulley 7 and the fourth pulley 8. This helps the device to move stably on the cableway 1, increases friction, simulates the speed of a slow loris, and moves slowly on the cableway 1. This allows the device to obtain more accurate data and some missing data, while also making the device quieter, more discreet, and easier to integrate into the local environment, reducing its impact on the ecological environment.
[0023] More specifically, a wiring tube 16 is fixedly installed on the lower body shell 15 at the end away from the upper body shell 14. The wiring tube 16 is fixedly connected to the drive plate 2. A fixing ring 27 is fixedly installed on the upper body shell 14. A steel cable hole 29 is opened on the first pulley plate 3. A steel cable 28 is fixedly connected in the fixing ring 27 and the steel cable hole 29.
[0024] In use, the wiring is connected through the wiring conduit 16 to protect the wiring. In addition, the lower body shell 15 and the upper body shell 14 are stably suspended on the cableway 1 through the wiring conduit 16 and the steel cable 28, so that the lower body shell 15 and the upper body shell 14 are parallel to the cableway 1, making the movement of the equipment more stable and convenient.
[0025] Furthermore, a first fixing ring 19 is fixedly installed inside the lower body shell 15, a second fixing ring 20 is fixedly installed inside the upper body shell 14, and a third fixing ring 21 is fixedly installed inside the head shell 13. A receiving tube 17 is fixedly installed between the first fixing ring 19 and the second fixing ring 20. The chip controller 30 is fixedly installed inside the receiving tube 17. A third stepper motor 18 connected to the output terminal of the chip controller 30 is fixedly installed on one end of the receiving tube 17 near the third fixing ring 21. The output terminal of the third stepper motor 18 is fixedly connected to the third fixing ring 21.
[0026] When in use, the device is suspended at high altitude, and the head housing 13 can rotate 360° under the drive of the third stepper motor 18, giving the device more room to move and a wider field of view. The monitoring range is expanded and more flexible, and more diverse environmental data can be obtained.
[0027] Furthermore, the chip controller 30 has an integrated power supply module 31 at its input terminal, and two symmetrically distributed solar panels 22 are fixedly mounted on the driver board 2. The solar panels 22 are connected to the input terminal of the chip controller 30.
[0028] In use, the solar panel 22 is positioned facing upwards above the drive board 2 to collect sunlight. The sunlight is then stored in the power supply module 31 via the chip controller 30, providing a stable energy source for the entire device. The device employs a highly efficient and energy-saving solar charging method. Through programming control, the device is moved only when necessary, allowing it to be moved to a location with sufficient sunlight to replenish power using the solar panel 22. This enables the device to remain in the field for extended periods without the need for manual power replacement, reducing the impact of human activities on the environment and making it more environmentally friendly.
[0029] The acquisition and transmission component includes an information transceiver module 32, a network connection module 33, and an information storage module 34 integrated on the output of the chip controller 30 for connecting to remote devices. The acquisition and transmission component also includes an infrared camera 23 and a full-color camera 24 fixedly installed on the head shell 13 at the eye position. The acquisition and transmission component also includes an illuminance sensor 25 fixedly installed on the driver board 2. A gas sensor 26 is fixedly installed on the lower shell 15. The infrared camera 23, the full-color camera 24, the illuminance sensor 25, and the gas sensor 26 are connected to the input of the chip controller 30.
[0030] In use, the images, light, and gas distribution information collected by the infrared camera 23, full-color camera 24, illuminance sensor 25, and gas sensor 26 are first stored in the information storage module 34. The chip controller 30 connects to the network through the network connection module 33, and then the information in the information storage module 34 is periodically sent to the remote device through the information transceiver module 32 so that staff can receive and organize the monitoring information in a timely manner, eliminating the need for manual on-site collection and improving convenience.
