Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of termite monitoring device technology, and in particular to a termite monitoring device based on audio recognition. Background Technology

[0002] Termites are insects that pose a serious threat and cause severe damage to buildings, wooden structures, and forestry resources.

[0003] In related technologies, termite monitoring mainly relies on traditional manual inspection methods. This involves regular on-site inspections, counting, and recording by personnel. This method is inefficient, labor-intensive, and the timeliness and accuracy of data are affected by human factors. Furthermore, termite activity is often covert, especially in the early stages of infestation, making it difficult to detect in time, which can lead to significant damage by the time it is discovered. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a termite monitoring device based on audio recognition, which solves the problem of how to improve the efficiency of termite monitoring.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: An audio-based termite monitoring device is provided for installation in soil, comprising: The chassis, and the roof positioned opposite it; A trapping tube and an outer tube are coaxially connected between the chassis and the top cover, with a gap between the trapping tube and the outer tube. The trapping tube is arrayed with external channels and fins for termites to pass through, and the external channels and fins are distributed alternately. The outer cylinder has multiple first through slots arranged in an array around its periphery to allow termites to pass through. The outer cylinder is provided with an inner cylinder for storing termite attractant materials. The inner wall of the outer cylinder is in contact with the outer wall of the inner cylinder. Multiple second through slots corresponding to the first through slots are arrayed on the periphery of the inner cylinder. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the axis of the inner cylinder by a connecting rod. The top cover is provided with a drive unit for driving the rotating shaft to rotate, forming a structure in which the drive unit drives the inner cylinder to rotate through the rotating shaft, so that the first through groove and the second through groove form a channel that can be opened and closed and has a variable width. A monitoring unit is provided on the inner side of the inner cylinder, and the monitoring unit includes a microphone, a camera and a vibration sensor.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer channel is configured as a vertically arranged rectangular channel, the fin is configured as an inverted trapezoidal structure protruding from the outer wall of the trapping tube, and a trapezoidal groove is recessed at one end of the fin near the top cover.

[0007] Furthermore, the top of the cover has multiple discharge ports, which are connected to the inside of the inner cylinder, and a sealing plug is installed in each discharge port.

[0008] Furthermore, the driving unit includes: shell, The power supply and motor are fixed inside the casing; One end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the chassis, and the other end is rotatably connected to the top cover; The drive shaft of the motor is connected to the top of the rotating shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the monitoring unit and the drive unit are connected to a controller for remotely transmitting signals to the server.

[0010] Furthermore, multiple striking rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner cylinder, forming a structure in which the termite-attracting material inside is evenly distributed through the striking rods when the inner cylinder rotates.

[0011] Furthermore, the termite attractant material is wood.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This application applies audio recognition-based sensing technology to termite monitoring, effectively combining it with a physical trapping structure.

By collecting and processing the unique sounds of termite activity (such as gnawing and vibration), early, non-invasive, and accurate detection is achieved, overcoming the difficulty of detecting concealed activities through manual inspection. Combining image recognition and vibration signals significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of monitoring results, enabling all-weather automatic monitoring and greatly enhancing monitoring efficiency.

It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0017] The steps described in the specification and the flowcharts in the accompanying drawings of this utility model are not necessarily to be strictly followed according to the step numbers; the execution order of the steps can be changed. Furthermore, certain steps can be omitted, multiple steps can be combined into one step, and / or one step can be broken down into multiple steps.

[0018] The termite monitoring device based on audio recognition provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This application provides an audio recognition-based termite monitoring device for installation in soil, comprising: Chassis 10, and top cover 4 disposed opposite to it; The chassis 10 and the top cover 4 are fixedly connected by a coaxially arranged trapping tube 1 and an outer tube 6, with a gap between the trapping tube 1 and the outer tube 6. The trapping tube 1 is arranged with external channels 2 and fins 3 for termites to pass through, and the external channels 2 and fins 3 are distributed alternately. The outer cylinder 6 has multiple first through slots 9 arranged in an array around its perimeter to allow termites to pass through; The outer cylinder 6 is provided with an inner cylinder 8 for storing termite attractant materials. The inner wall of the outer cylinder 6 is in contact with the outer wall of the inner cylinder 8. The inner cylinder 8 is provided with a plurality of second through slots that correspond one-to-one with the first through slot 9 on its periphery. The inner cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 7 at its axis by a connecting rod. One end of the rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the chassis 10, and the other end is rotatably connected to the top cover 4; The top cover 4 is provided with a drive unit 5 for driving the rotating shaft 7 to rotate, so that the drive unit 5 drives the inner cylinder 8 to rotate through the rotating shaft 7, so that the first through groove 9 and the second through groove form a channel structure that can be opened and closed and has a variable width. A monitoring unit 11 is provided inside the inner cylinder 8. The monitoring unit 11 includes a microphone, a camera, and a vibration sensor.

[0020] In practical implementation, the trapping tube 1 is the main structure of the entire device, used to attract termites and provide monitoring space. The trapping tube 1 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, possessing excellent sealing and stability, and can adapt to various environmental conditions. Its internal space is large enough to accommodate termite activity, and it connects to the outside through the external passageway 2, facilitating termite entry. When the trapping tube 1 is installed underground, the design of the fins 3 increases its stability, preventing the device from shaking or tipping over in the soil, ensuring smooth monitoring operations. Simultaneously, the shape and distribution of the fins 3 also help guide termites to crawl along the outside of the trapping tube 1, increasing the probability of termites entering the external passageway 2.

[0021] The monitoring unit 11 includes a high-sensitivity microphone, a high-definition camera, and a vibration sensor. The high-sensitivity microphone can collect audio signals generated by termite activity in real time. The audio signals undergo preprocessing operations such as noise reduction and filtering through a connected audio processing module to highlight the characteristics of termite audio signals. The high-definition camera can capture images of termite activity and analyze the number, species, and activity status of termites through image recognition technology. The vibration sensor can detect vibration signals generated by termite activity inside the inner cylinder 8. Combining the audio signals and image information improves the accuracy and reliability of monitoring.

[0022] Furthermore, the outer channel 2 is configured as a vertically arranged rectangular channel, the fin 3 is configured as an inverted trapezoidal structure protruding from the outer wall of the trapping tube 1, and the end of the fin 3 near the top cover 4 is recessed with a trapezoidal groove.

[0023] Furthermore, the top cover 4 has multiple discharge ports 13 at its top, and the multiple discharge ports 13 are connected to the interior of the inner cylinder 8. A sealing plug is installed inside each discharge port 13.

[0024] Furthermore, the driving unit 5 includes: shell, The power supply and motor are fixed inside the casing; The drive shaft of the motor is connected to the top end of the rotating shaft 7; This allows the rotating shaft 7 and the inner cylinder 8 to be selectively rotated to open or close the channel formed by the first through groove 9 and the second through groove, or to adjust the width of the channel.

[0025] In practice, by activating the drive unit 5, the rotating shaft 7 rotates, causing the second through groove 9 on the outer side of the inner cylinder 8 and the first through groove 9 on the outer cylinder 6 to move relative to or away from each other. This makes the width of the channel they form smaller or larger, which is useful in controlling the speed at which termite colonies enter or facilitating the entry of termites of different sizes. When the channel is enlarged, it is more conducive to the release of the wood's odor. At the same time, the relative rotation of the outer cylinder 6 and the inner cylinder 8 can close the channel and seal the internal space.

[0026] Furthermore, the monitoring unit 11 and the drive unit 5 are connected to a controller for remotely transmitting signals to the server.

[0027] Furthermore, multiple striking rods 12 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 8, forming a structure in which the termite-attracting material inside the inner cylinder 8 is evenly distributed through the striking rods 12 when the inner cylinder 8 rotates.

[0028] Specifically, the termite attractant can be wood. When the inner cylinder 8 rotates, it can drive the striking rod 12 to rotate. When there is wood inside the inner cylinder 8, the striking action of the striking rod 12 can make the wood inside more evenly distributed, reduce gaps, and at the same time break up the wood that has been eroded by termites, so that there is more space to store new wood.

[0029] This application applies audio recognition-based sensing technology to termite monitoring, effectively combining it with a physical trapping structure. By controlling the relative rotation of the inner and outer cylinders through a drive unit, the width of the termite passageway can be precisely adjusted, controlling the speed at which termite colonies enter. This accommodates termites of different sizes and species. Furthermore, widening the passageway enhances the emission of wood odor, attracting termites from further away and controlling the bait's dispersal effect. The passageway can also be completely closed, enclosing termites within for monitoring. By collecting and processing the unique sounds of termite activity (such as gnawing and vibration), early, non-invasive, and accurate detection is achieved, overcoming the difficulty of detecting concealed activities through manual inspection. Combining image recognition and vibration signals significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of monitoring results, enabling all-weather automatic monitoring and greatly enhancing monitoring efficiency.
