Tentacle type soft coral monitoring device

Abstract

The invention provides a tentacle type soft coral monitoring device which comprises a lifting device, a first motor is installed in the middle of the lifting device, a disc is fixedly connected to the end of a motor shaft, and a telescopic hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the edge of the disc; a second motor is installed on the upper portion of the lifting device through a telescopic structure, the moving rod is connected with the upper portion of the lifting device through a spherical hinge, and the hollow outer pipe is fixedly connected to a shell of the second motor. The other end of the telescopic hydraulic rod is hinged to the hollow outer pipe; a sensor mounting frame is mounted on the second motor, one end of the first sliding rail is fixedly connected to a shell of the second motor, the second sliding rail has rebound resilience, one end of the second sliding rail is fixedly connected to a motor shaft of the second motor, the other end of the second sliding rail is fixedly connected to a sliding block on the first sliding rail, and the shell below the second sliding rail is further connected with the first sliding rail; at least one sensor array is installed on a sliding block on the first sliding rail. The device can observe and record each tentacle-like soft coral from multiple angles, and has the advantages of high precision, small equipment size and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of coral monitoring, in particular to a tentacle soft coral monitoring device Background technique [0002] Coral reefs formed by corals can provide shelter and habitat for marine life, which is of great significance to marine ecology; corals have beautiful colors and shapes, and are artificially cultivated and viewed by more and more enthusiasts; corals can secrete natural Products, such as the secretion of antibiotics to reduce bacterial infections, have provided great help to researchers in the extraction of natural products and the development of antibiotics. Based on the above, the importance of corals has attracted more and more attention. In the newly released "National Key Protected Wildlife List" in 2021, some corals have become national second-class key protected animals. [0003] However, whether corals are grown in a natural state or artificially, the growth is very fragile. Environmental changes such as...

Problems solved by technology

At present, the monitoring of coral health generally adopts periodic underwater photography to record the growth status of coral reef biological communities, and artificial on-site surveys of marine environmental elements. This periodic observation is restricted by weather factors and cannot be continuously dynamic for a long time. The cost of fieldwork is high.
