Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wetland monitoring technology, specifically to a wetland intelligent bird monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, due to the outbreaks of various avian influenza epidemics, zoonotic diseases have received attention. Wild birds, especially migratory birds, are the main carriers and transmitters of highly pathogenic avian influenza. They pose a potential risk of spreading the disease during their migration. Therefore, it is essential to regularly conduct high-density monitoring of wild birds around cities and collect and test bird droppings.
[0003] However, the scattered nature of wetland birds makes them difficult to observe, bird droppings are easily contaminated by intertidal mudflats, bird flocking times are difficult to monitor, and the host of droppings is uncertain, all of which make this work difficult.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model aims to provide a wetland intelligent bird monitoring device to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a wetland intelligent bird monitoring device that addresses the difficulties of bird droppings being easily polluted by intertidal mudflats, the difficulty in monitoring bird flocking times, and the uncertainty of the host of droppings.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A wetland intelligent bird monitoring device, characterized in that it includes a fixed pole, a float, a float rod, a panel, an intelligent camera system, an intelligent terminal, and a suspended platform;
[0008] Multiple buoys are crisscrossed to form a grid-shaped suspended platform, providing a safe resting place for birds. A buoy and a panel are installed below the suspended platform. The buoy makes the suspended platform float on the water surface, and the panel covers the bottom of the suspended platform and keeps it above the water surface. A ring of fixed rods is set around the suspended platform. The fixed rods are long cylindrical rod structures, and the suspended platform slides up and down along the fixed rods.
[0009] The intelligent camera system is fixedly installed around the suspended platform. The intelligent terminal is connected to the intelligent camera system via a network, and the captured images are transmitted back to the data center via the network, and real-time monitoring is achieved through the intelligent terminal.
[0010] The fixing rod is inserted into the ground to fix the float and panel, and the buoy provides buoyancy to the float, so that the device is not affected by ocean tides; the intelligent camera system can transmit the scene back to the intelligent terminal in the form of wireless network, so as to realize real-time monitoring and monitoring information push.
[0011] In this solution, the buoy, float, and panel are connected to each other by ropes on a fixed pole, enabling the device to move vertically with changes in water level. This creates a temporary resting place for animals in the intertidal ecosystem. Through smart cameras and smart terminals, real-time monitoring of the resting place can be achieved, providing a stable and reliable new monitoring equipment for monitoring biological activities in wetland areas such as coastal mudflats, lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.
[0012] Furthermore, the fixing rod is a bamboo or metal square tube with an outer diameter of 120mm.
[0013] In this solution, the device is fixed in the water by inserting a fixing rod into the ground, thus preventing it from being washed away from the monitoring point by seawater.
[0014] Furthermore, the buoy is a hollow buoy with a diameter of 800-1000mm and a length of 1000mm. It is connected to the float rod by a rope to provide buoyancy for the device and prevent the entire device from being submerged.
[0015] In this scheme, the float and panel are connected to a fixed pole by ropes, and multiple buoys are used to provide buoyancy to the float and panel, keeping the monitoring equipment above the water surface at all times.
[0016] Furthermore, the float is made of bamboo or wood with an outer diameter of 120mm.
[0017] Furthermore, the panel is connected to the float by a rope and is suspended below the float.
[0018] Furthermore, the intelligent camera system includes a camera and a wireless data transmission system. The camera is used to intelligently identify and capture targets, and the wireless data transmission system is used to transmit image information back to the data center.
[0019] In this solution, the smart camera, combined with a solar power system and a wireless transmission system, is installed around the suspended platform via a metal bracket to enable real-time monitoring and image transmission to the smart terminal.
[0020] The intelligent terminal is a smart device. In this solution, the intelligent terminal can be a computer or mobile device such as a mobile phone. This device can be combined with an AI model to realize functions such as automatic data classification, real-time monitoring, and bird gathering early warning, reducing labor costs for the classification of birds and other animals and the collection of fecal samples, and improving the frequency and quality of monitoring.
[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this solution include at least the following:
[0022] 1. This utility model creates a temporary resting place for animals in wetlands by using a suspended platform whose height can change with the rise and fall of the water level, which can be used to gather flocks of birds and improve the predicament of scattered and difficult-to-observe birds in wetlands. At the same time, with the help of wireless transmission technology of smart cameras, efficient, long-term and uninterrupted monitoring of wild animals can be achieved. The smart terminal combined with new technologies such as AI models can realize automatic classification of monitoring data and early warning of animal clusters, thereby improving the monitoring quality.
[0023] 2. This invention features a panel below the suspended platform for convenient collection of bird droppings, preventing droppings from falling into wetlands and contaminating the area. When birds temporarily stop by, droppings can be collected conveniently, solving the difficulties in sampling animal droppings that have fallen into wetlands and in determining the host and excretion time. This provides a stable and reliable new monitoring equipment for biological activity data in wetland areas such as coastal mudflats, lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.
[0024] 3. This utility model helps to solve the current problem of monitoring wetland ecosystems due to water level changes. Attached Figure Description
