Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fishing auxiliary equipment, specifically relating to a fish nest alarm device with wireless alarm and remote video monitoring functions. Background Technology

[0002] Fishing is a popular recreational activity, but its success rate largely depends on accurately judging the activity of fish. Traditional methods of waiting in the water are passive and inefficient, as anglers cannot know the real-time situation of the fish underwater. Some products attempt to incorporate underwater cameras, but these often use wired connections, which limit transmission distance and are cumbersome to wire; others use dedicated waterproof displays, resulting in high system costs, inconvenience in carrying, and poor human-computer interaction. Furthermore, these devices are usually independent of fish alert systems, failing to achieve effective intelligent linkage. Anglers cannot immediately see the size, type, and specific behavior of the fish on their familiar, high-performance smartphones upon receiving an alert, potentially missing the best time to cast their line. In addition, existing fish finders require manual supervision, necessitating constant on-site observation to determine the underwater fish situation. This significantly wastes manpower and time, resulting in low efficiency and high labor intensity.

[0003] According to the description in a fish-finding sonar system published on the patent website (authorization announcement number: CN104407350A), "a fish-finding boat is used to transport the sonar probe to the water surface. The sonar emits sound wave signals, which are reflected by the fish. After receiving the signals, the data is analyzed by a computer system. This data is then converted into images and other data information to understand the movement of the fish or schools of fish and thus realize the fish-finding function."

[0004] Based on the above, the applicant believes the following deficiencies exist: While this fish-finding sonar system can detect schools of fish and obtain general data about them, its accuracy is not high, providing only simulated images and real-time detection only. It also significantly interferes with the water surface and body, easily disturbing and frightening fish. Furthermore, it suffers from drawbacks such as complex equipment, high cost, water disturbance, inability to detect subtle feeding movements of fish, and lack of visual information.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a fish nest alarm device with wireless alarm and remote video monitoring functions. This device seamlessly integrates and intelligently links high-sensitivity fish activity alarm with remote wireless video monitoring, and fully utilizes the user's existing smartphone for processing and display. This enables precise and visual monitoring of fishing spots while achieving an optimal balance between system cost and user experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a fish nest alarm device with wireless alarm and remote video monitoring functions, which enhances the fishing experience and immersion.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fish nest alarm device with wireless alarm and remote video monitoring functions, including an underwater detection terminal, and further including: a fish nest alarm device host, a handheld alarm terminal and an air pump mechanism, wherein the fish nest alarm device host is disposed at one end of the underwater detection terminal, the handheld alarm terminal is disposed at one end of the fish nest alarm device host, and the handheld alarm terminal is communicatively connected to the fish nest alarm device host. The underwater detection terminal includes a waterproof housing, a miniature camera is fixedly connected inside the waterproof housing, a camera supplement light is fixedly connected inside the waterproof housing near the side of the miniature camera, a connecting line is fixedly connected to one end of the waterproof housing through the miniature camera, a vibration sensor is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting line, and a wire is fixedly connected to the waterproof housing through the camera supplement light. The fish nest alarm main unit includes a main unit housing, which is electrically connected to one end of a wire. A signal processing module is fixedly connected inside the main unit housing. One end of the signal processing module is electrically connected to a communication device module, a video processing module, a power supply module, a display screen, and an audible and visual alarm.

[0008] Preferably, the signal processing module has a low-power standby detection mode and a video monitoring mode. In the standby detection mode, the miniature camera, the camera fill light, and the video processing module are in a sleep state, only maintaining the monitoring of the vibration sensor signal.

[0009] Preferably, the vibration sensor is automatically activated when triggered in video monitoring mode, controlling the miniature camera, video fill light, and video processing module to start working.

[0010] Preferably, when the vibration sensor is triggered, the signal processing module immediately controls the communication device module to send an alarm signal to the handheld alarm terminal.

[0011] Preferably, the communication device module is used to access a cellular network, and the handheld alarm terminal establishes a communication connection with the fish nest alarm host through accessing the network. The handheld alarm terminal is a smartphone or tablet computer, including a processor, a display screen, a communication module, and an alarm prompt module. The communication module is used to receive alarm signals and video data from the fish nest alarm host, and the processor is used to decode the video data and display underwater images in real time through the display screen.

[0012] Preferably, the air pump mechanism includes an air pump body, which is disposed on the top of the main unit housing. Air pipes are fixedly connected to both ends of the air pump body, and the air pipes are connected to the waterproof housing.

[0013] Preferably, a vent is provided on the top of the main unit housing, and one end of the air pipe is connected to the vent.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model innovatively uses the user's own smartphone as the core of the system's display, alarm, and processing, eliminating the manufacturing cost of a dedicated display terminal. Users do not need to purchase, carry, or charge an additional dedicated screen, reducing the overall cost of the system and achieving "one device for multiple uses." This makes high-tech fish-finding equipment more portable and accessible to the general public, reducing costs and improving portability.

[0015] 2. This invention fully utilizes the powerful computing performance, high-definition screen, excellent speakers and vibration motors, and mature multi-touch operating system of smartphones to provide an extremely user-friendly and powerful human-computer interaction experience that far surpasses any dedicated device. The interface is intuitive, has strong functional expandability, and has an extremely low learning curve.

[0016] 3. In this invention, instead of simply superimposing the functions of a vibration sensor and a camera, deep intelligent collaboration and linkage between the two are achieved through hardware and software design. The system constructs an intelligent workflow of "vibration signal triggering alarm → mobile phone information reminder → user entering operation state → secondary confirmation of video viewing." This two-level triggering mechanism perfectly combines the advantages of the two sensing technologies, providing a complete information chain from "detecting vibrations" to "accurate identification," solving the inherent defects of single technical means, and achieving a high degree of functional integration and intelligent collaboration.

[0017] 4. This invention addresses the core pain points of traditional alarm systems: they only indicate the presence of fish, but not the type or whether the fish are biting. Upon receiving an alarm on their mobile phone, users can immediately obtain visual confirmation through the screen, intuitively identifying the species, approximate size, quantity, and feeding behavior of fish entering and leaving the fishing spot (whether they are tentatively testing the waters, nibbling at the line, or taking a large bite). This provides anglers with an unprecedented dimension of decision-making information, enabling a shift from "blindly waiting" to "visualized fishing," achieving a breakthrough in information dimensionality.

[0018] 5. In this invention, by utilizing high-speed wireless communication technologies such as cellular networks, the transmission of alarm signals and the activation of video streams experience virtually no delay. From hearing the phone alarm to seeing the underwater image, the entire process takes only a few seconds, ensuring that users can make an accurate decision about whether to fish or cast their lines as soon as the fish are still in the feeding area and their feeding desire is strongest. This effectively avoids missing fishing opportunities due to poor information flow, increases the catch rate, and achieves rapid response and decision support with zero delay.

[0019] 6. This invention employs a unique low-power standby and event-triggered operating mechanism. The underwater terminal maintains only the vibration sensor's monitoring function for the vast majority of the time, resulting in extremely low power consumption. Only when absolutely necessary (when triggered) are the high-power camera and video streaming functions activated. This "on-demand operation" mode cleverly solves the industry problem of underwater equipment consuming too much power during continuous recording, thus preventing prolonged fishing and extending the battery life after a single charge, demonstrating advanced intelligent power management.

[0020] 7. This utility model provides not only an alarm but also a decision support system. Through video confirmation, users can avoid reacting to false alarms such as small fish disturbing the bait or swaying aquatic plants, saving energy; they can also focus on larger fish and target species, rationally allocating fishing time and strategies, making fishing activities more scientific and efficient, directly increasing catch volume and the sense of accomplishment, achieving precise and scientific fishing decisions.

[0021] 8. In this utility model, the system transforms fishing from an "underwater invisible" waiting game into an immersive experience of automatically guarding the fishing spot, observing the underwater world in real time, and interacting with fish. Users can not only fish, but also observe the underwater behavior and habits of fish, record and share wonderful moments, enriching the entertainment and fun of fishing activities, expanding its leisure and social attributes, and enhancing the enjoyment and immersion of fishing.

[0022] Other additional advantages and benefits of this application will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of this application. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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.

[0026] Example

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a fish nest alarm with wireless alarm and remote video monitoring functions, including an underwater detection terminal 1, and further including: a fish nest alarm host 2, a handheld alarm terminal 3 and an air pump mechanism 4. The fish nest alarm host 2 is set at one end of the underwater detection terminal 1, and the handheld alarm terminal 3 is set at one end of the fish nest alarm host 2. The handheld alarm terminal 3 is communicatively connected to the fish nest alarm host 2. The underwater detection terminal 1 includes a waterproof housing 11. A miniature camera 13 is fixedly connected inside the waterproof housing 11. A camera supplement light 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the waterproof housing 11 near the miniature camera 13. A connecting cable 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the waterproof housing 11 via the miniature camera 13. A vibration sensor 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting cable 15. A wire 16 is fixedly connected to the waterproof housing 11 via the camera supplement light 14. The waterproof housing 11 is made of ABS engineering plastic and internally sealed with waterproof adhesive, achieving a waterproof rating of IP68. Its front end is a transparent tempered glass window used to protect the internal miniature camera 13 and camera supplement light 14. The vibration sensor 12 is connected via a wire 16. A connecting line 15 of a certain length is connected to the outside of the waterproof housing 11. The connecting line 15 serves as a mechanical fixation and signal transmission function, allowing the vibration sensor 12 to be flexibly arranged near the bait and to collect vibration signals. The waterproof housing 11 is connected to the fish nest alarm host 2 via a wire 16. The wire 16 contains power lines and signal lines, which are used to power the underwater components and transmit signals. The miniature camera 13 uses a 10,000-pixel sensor. The underwater detection terminal 1 is connected to the fish nest alarm host 2 via the wire 16. The camera supplement light 14 consists of two infrared LED beads, which are soldered to both sides of the camera module. When the light is insufficient, the video processing module 24 automatically turns on the camera supplement light 14. The fish nest alarm main unit 2 includes a main unit housing 21, which is electrically connected to one end of a wire 16. A signal processing module 22 is fixedly connected inside the main unit housing 21. One end of the signal processing module 22 is electrically connected to a communication device module 23, a video processing module 24, a power supply module 27, a display screen 26, and an audible and visual alarm 25. The main unit housing 21 is made of ABS engineering plastic and houses the various components of the fish nest alarm main unit 2, providing protection. The signal processing module 22 is used to process vibrations transmitted from the underwater detection terminal 1. The signal processing module 23 operates in the 2.4GHz frequency band and is used to realize remote alarm. It connects to the handheld alarm terminal 3 through a 4G / 5G cellular network and reminds anglers through dial-up notifications, SMS notifications, and WeChat notifications. The video processing module 24 is used to process the video signal of the miniature camera 13 and send it to the handheld alarm terminal 3 through a wireless network. The sound and light alarm 25 is used to provide on-site alarm and remind on-site personnel. The display screen 26 is used to display the power usage of the fish nest alarm host 2. The power module 27 is a 3.7V, 1000mAh lithium battery that provides power to the underwater detection terminal 1 and the fish nest alarm host 2.

[0028] Furthermore, the signal processing module 22 has a low-power standby detection mode and a video monitoring mode. In the standby detection mode, the miniature camera 13, the camera fill light 14, and the video processing module 24 are in a sleep state, only maintaining the monitoring of the vibration sensor 12 signal. The signal processing module 22 has an intelligent working mode management function. When the vibration sensor 12 is not triggered, it is in the low-power "standby detection mode" and only runs the vibration monitoring function; when the vibration sensor 12 is triggered, it switches to the "video monitoring mode" and starts the camera and the video processing module 24.

[0029] Furthermore, when the vibration sensor 12 is triggered in video monitoring mode, it automatically starts and controls the miniature camera 13, the camera fill light 14 and the video processing module 24 to start working. The miniature camera 13 is a high-definition camera, and the number of cameras is preferably four, which can monitor images in four directions at the same time, making it easy to view the underwater scene.

[0030] Furthermore, when the vibration sensor 12 is triggered, the signal processing module 22 immediately controls the communication device module 23 to send an alarm signal to the handheld alarm terminal 3. The handheld alarm terminal 3 can be a smartphone or tablet with an integrated APP, or a customized dedicated receiver or display.

[0031] Furthermore, the communication device module 23 is used to access the cellular network. The handheld alarm terminal 3 establishes a communication connection with the fish nest alarm host 2 through accessing the network. The handheld alarm terminal 3 is a smartphone or tablet computer, including a processor, a display screen, a communication module, and an alarm prompt module. The communication module is used to receive alarm signals and video data from the fish nest alarm host 2. The processor is used to decode the video data and display the underwater image in real time through the display screen. The handheld alarm terminal 3 is a smart mobile terminal with a specific application installed and running. It is used to receive wireless alarm signals and underwater video images and display and remind users. It communicates and connects with the fish nest alarm host 2 through 4G / 5G signals. By running the application APP, it interacts with the fish nest alarm host 2 to exchange image signals and finally displays the real-time video stream and operation interface on its high-definition touch screen. The wireless data transmission of the fish nest alarm host 2 is preferably through a 4G / 5G cellular communication network. It acts as a wireless access point to interact with the smartphone, forming point-to-point communication with low latency, ensuring sufficient data transmission rate and communication distance.

[0032] Furthermore, the air pump mechanism 4 includes an air pump body 41, which is located on the top of the main unit housing 21. Air pipes 42 are fixedly connected to both ends of the air pump body 41. The air pipes 42 are connected to the waterproof housing 11. A vent hole is opened on the top of the main unit housing 21, and one end of the air pipe 42 is connected to the vent hole.

[0033] Components not described in detail in this article are existing technologies.

[0034] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: The general working principle is as follows: When the bait is thrown into the fishing spot by the underwater detection terminal 1, vibration sensors 12 are distributed throughout the fishing spot. When the built-in vibration sensors 12 detect specific vibrations caused by fish touching or biting the bait, the signal is transmitted through the wire 16 to the signal processing module 22 of the fish nest alarm host 2. The signal processing module 22 immediately sends an alarm signal to the connected handheld alarm terminal 3 through the communication device module 23, such as dial notification, SMS notification, or WeChat notification. After receiving the information, the angler can directly view the information sent by the underwater detection terminal 1 on the interface. The underwater miniature camera 13 will transmit the high-definition video stream through the video processing module 24 to the installed APP through the cellular network of the communication device module 23. The user can observe the underwater situation in real time and make accurate decisions accordingly. The work then proceeded as follows: Low-power standby detection: The system defaults to low-power mode. At this time, the signal processing module 22 turns off the power supply to the miniature camera 13, camera fill light 14, communication equipment module 23, video processing module 24 and sound and light alarm 25, and keeps only the vibration sensor 12 active, and reduces the overall operating current to below 10mA. Vibration signal trigger: When a fish approaches and touches the vibration sensor 12 or the connecting line 15, the mechanical vibration generated is sensed by the vibration sensor 12 and outputs a low-level interrupt signal to the signal processing module 22. Signal processing and wireless alarm: The signal processing module 22 is awakened and controls the communication device module 23 to send dial notifications, SMS notifications, and WeChat notifications, triggering the mobile phone to issue a strong alarm prompt preset by the user, including sounding an alarm ringtone, starting a vibration motor and flashing the screen to remind the angler. Video Startup and Monitoring: After hearing the phone notification tone, the user takes out the handheld alarm terminal 3 (i.e., the smartphone) from their pocket, turns on the screen, and handles the phone notification by simply turning it off. Simultaneously, the app's alarm notification will appear on the lock screen. The user can swipe or tap the notification to quickly jump to the app. The app will automatically launch a video player to receive and decode the video stream, displaying it in real-time on the phone screen. The user can then clearly observe the types, sizes, and behaviors of underwater fish. Stop and Resume: After observation is complete, the user closes the APP interface, terminates the video stream transmission, and the system returns to the ultra-low power standby detection mode of step two, waiting for the next trigger; In addition, during actual use, the air pump body 41 can be controlled to pump air to the fishing spot, thereby using the bubbles rising in the water to locate the specific position of the underwater detection terminal 1, thus playing a positioning role.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
