[0016]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an animal capture monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, an animal capture monitoring system using a raccoon as a capture target animal will be described as an example.
[0017]
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram schematically showing an animal capture monitoring system according to the present embodiment. The animal capture monitoring system is roughly divided into a plurality of trap units 10 installed in a habitat A of an animal to be captured, and an information management center that receives information from the trap units 10 via a telephone line L1 and totals the information. 60. The report information transmitted from the trap unit 10 includes capture detection information indicating whether or not the trap unit 10 has captured the capture target animal, position information of the trap unit 10, and the like. The trap unit 10 sends this report information to the communication relay base station 68 of the telephone line L1 by radio waves. In the information management center 60, the receiving device 62 receives the report information transmitted via the telephone line L1, and the totaling device 64 totals the report information and sends it to the distribution device 66. The distribution device 66 includes a storage unit therein, and stores the aggregated report information as distribution information. Since the distribution device 66 is connected to the Internet L2, the information stored in the distribution device 66 can be downloaded from the user terminal 70.
[0018]
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the trap unit 10 of the animal capture monitoring system. The trap unit 10 is mainly composed of a box-shaped trap 12 for capturing an animal to be captured, and a case 26 that houses therein a transmitting / receiving device and the like. The trap 12 has a size suitable for capturing a raccoon, which is an animal to be captured. If the target animal is another animal, the animal may be of a size suitable for capturing that animal. The trap 12 is foldable and suitable for transport. Each surface of the trap 12 is formed of a wire net. One side of the trap 12 is an entrance for an animal to be captured, and the entrance is provided with a door 14 that is kept open when no animal is captured. In FIG. 2, the door 14 'in the open state is indicated by a dotted line. When an animal to be captured enters the trap 12 and steps on the trigger pan 16, a fastener 18 that locks the door 14 in an open state is released, and the door 14 turns by its own weight to close the entrance. In FIG. 2, the closed door 14 is shown by a solid line. The door 14 is provided with a lock mechanism (not shown). When the door 14 is closed, the door 14 cannot be opened from the inside of the trap 12. A door open / close detection sensor 20 for detecting whether the door 14 is open or closed by detecting the inclination of the door 14 is fixed to the door 14. A mat sensor 22 for detecting the load of the object placed on the lower surface of the trap 12 is laid. These two sensors 20 and 22 are capture detection sensors for detecting that an animal has been captured by the trap 12, and whether or not the animal is captured in the case 26 is determined based on their outputs. The reason why the plurality of sensors 20 and 22 are provided is that it is possible to determine whether or not the capture target animal has been captured even if one of the sensors malfunctions. The outputs of the sensors 20 and 22 are connected to devices in the case 26 via wiring. In the trap 12, a feed 24 is provided to attract animals. The feed 24 is deteriorated by an external environment such as rain or moisture, and therefore needs to be replaced periodically by an operator.
[0019]
In this trap unit 10, the case 26 is detachably fixed to the upper part of the trap 12. Fixing of the case 26 and the trap 12 will be described with reference to FIG. At the time of fixing the case 26, first, the pedestal 28 is fixed to the wire mesh on the ceiling of the trap 12. The pedestal 28 is fixed on the trap 12 using bolts, nuts, and the like. The pedestal 28 is provided with an attachment / detachment mechanism that can arbitrarily fix / remove the case 26 to / from the pedestal 28. This attachment / detachment mechanism is provided with a lock (not shown) for inhibiting the operation of the attachment / detachment mechanism, and the case 26 cannot be removed from the pedestal 28 by locking with a key. Conversely, the case 26 can be removed from the pedestal 28 by removing the lock with a key and removing the case 26 from the attachment / detachment mechanism. As described above, since the case 26 and the trap 12 are detachable, after the capture target animal is captured, the case 26 is removed from the trap 12 accommodating the capture target animal, and the trap target animal is transported together with the trap 12. Can be. Thereby, the possibility that the worker is harmed by the capture target animal can be reduced. Further, by attaching the detached case 26 to a new trap 12 to be installed next, a new trap unit 10 can be installed again. The case 26 is provided with a lock (not shown) for preventing the upper lid 27 from being opened. By locking the lock, the opening of the upper lid 27 can be prohibited. This prevents the devices housed inside from being stolen and the devices inside from being scattered when the trap unit 10 accidentally falls down.
[0020]
Inside the case 26, an operation panel 30 provided with a plurality of switches 32, 34, 36, a transfer adapter 40 for recording a state change of each sensor 20, 22, and the like are recorded on the transfer adapter 40. A transmission / reception device 50 for periodically transmitting the received information, a battery 57 for power supply, and a detection value holding circuit 58 for holding the output of the mat sensor 22 are housed. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the trap unit 10 including these components. The transfer adapter 40 includes a processing unit (CPU) 44 for inputting and processing information, a timer 42 for outputting time information, and a memory 46.
[0021]
A plurality of switches 32, 34, 36 are arranged on the operation panel 30, and one of them is a power switch 32 for switching ON / OFF of the power. When the power switch 32 is set to the ON state, power is supplied from the battery 57 to the devices 30, 40, 50, and 58. When the power switch 32 is ON, the light source (LED) 31 is turned on. The operation panel 30 has a feed exchange switch 34 as a means for inputting feed exchange information. When the operator replaces the bait 24 and turns on the bait exchange switch 34, event information relating to bait 24 exchange (information of a port (to be described in detail later) of the transfer adapter 40 to which the bait exchange switch 34 is connected) is provided. The information of the output value of the feed exchange switch 34 and the time (date and time) when the feed 24 was exchanged are stored in the transfer adapter 40. In this way, the user exchanges the feed 24 by storing the feed exchange information, which is the information of the time when the operator exchanges the feed 24, in the transfer adapter 40, transmitting the information to the information management center 60, and providing the information to the user. Time can be managed. In the present embodiment, the feed exchange information is information on the time (date and time) when the feed 24 was exchanged, but in another embodiment, other feeds such as information on the type of the feed 24 and information on the amount of the feed 24 are provided. It may be information on exchange.
[0022]
Further, the operation panel 30 is provided with an operation check switch 36 for checking the installation status of each of the sensors 20 and 22. The operator turns on the operation check switch 36 after the installation of the trap unit 10 is completed. At this time, when the processing unit 44 of the transfer adapter 40 determines that the output value of the door opening / closing detection sensor 20 is smaller than a predetermined threshold, that is, that the door 14 is in the open state, the processing unit 44 executes the light source (LED). 35 is not turned on. When the processing unit 44 of the transfer adapter 40 determines that the output value of the door opening / closing detection sensor 20 is larger than a predetermined threshold, that is, that the door 14 is closed, the processing unit 44 turns on the light source 35. . When the light source 35 is turned on, the operator sees this and knows that the door 14 is not correctly installed, and corrects the installation state of the trap unit 10 so that the door 14 is reliably opened. Similarly, when the processing unit 44 of the transfer adapter 40 determines that the output value of the mat sensor 22 is smaller than the predetermined threshold, that is, that no load is placed on the mat sensor 22, the processing unit 44 (LED) 37 is not turned on. When the processing unit 44 of the transfer adapter 40 determines that the output value of the mat sensor 22 is larger than the predetermined threshold, that is, that the load is placed on the mat sensor 22, the processing unit 44 turns off the light source 37. Turn on. When the light source 37 is turned on, the worker sees this and knows that the mat sensor 22 is not correctly installed, and corrects the installation state so that the mat sensor 22 does not detect the load. By providing the means for confirming the installation status of the trap unit 10 in this manner, the trap unit 10 can be reliably installed in a state in which the capture of the capture target animal can be detected.
[0023]
The operation panel 30 is provided with a reset button 38 for resetting the output value of the mat sensor 22 held by the detection value holding circuit 58. When the animal to be captured moves in the trap 12 after being captured, the detection output of the mat sensor 22 is frequently changed. To avoid this, the detection output of the mat sensor 22 is set to be held by the detection value hold circuit 58. The reset button 38 is a button for resetting the held detection output. is there. After replacing the trap 12 or correcting the erroneous detection of the mat sensor 22, the operator presses the reset button 38.
[0024]
The transfer adapter 40 is provided with a plurality of ports (not shown) for inputting signals. Wirings drawn from the sensors 20, 22 and the feed exchange switch 34 are connected to these ports. . Each port is connected to the processing unit 44 inside the transfer adapter 40. The processing unit 44 always receives the output values of the sensors 20 and 22 and determines whether each output value is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. These thresholds are set for each port. For the port to which the door opening / closing detection sensor 20 is connected, a threshold suitable for the door opening / closing detection sensor 20 to detect opening / closing of the door 14 is set. For the port to which the mat sensor 22 is connected, a threshold suitable for detecting that the capture target animal is placed on the mat sensor 22 is set. The determination result is 1 when the threshold value is exceeded, and is 0 when the threshold value is not exceeded. Then, when the determination result of the output value of each of the sensors 20 and 22 changes, the processing unit 44 generates event information relating to the change of the output value of the sensor (information of the port number whose determination result has changed, information of the determination result after the change, And information on the time (date and time) when the determination result has changed) is stored in the memory 46 in the transfer adapter 40. Similarly, the processing unit 44 receives the output value of the feed changing switch 34 and compares it with a predetermined threshold value. When the feed exchange switch 34 is pressed and turned on, event information relating to the feed exchange (information on the port number connected to the feed exchange switch 34, information on the determination result after the change, and the time (date and time) when the determination result changed) ) Is stored in the memory 46 in the transfer adapter 40. With this processing, (1) when the animal to be captured enters the trap 12 and the door 14 is closed, (2) when the animal to be captured is placed on the mat sensor 22, (3) the feed exchange switch 34 is turned on. Event information is saved.
[0025]
The transmission / reception device 50 includes a transmission / reception unit 56 capable of transmitting / receiving data via the telephone line L1, a position detection unit 54 using a GPS (Global Positioning System), and a processing unit (CPU) 52 for controlling these components. It has. The processing unit 52 performs a process for transmitting data to the information management center 60 periodically (for example, once a day). When performing this processing, first, the processing unit 52 of the transmission / reception device 50 determines the current time information output by the timer 42 and the current output values of the sensors 20 and 22 from the processing unit 44 of the transfer adapter 40. The result and the event information stored in the memory 46 of the transfer adapter 40 are input. Next, the processing unit 52 obtains the position information detected by the position detection unit 54, and adds the position information and the identification number (ID number) of the trap unit 10 to the information input from the processing unit 44. (That is, report information. The outline of the data structure is shown in FIG. 5), and this data is output to the transmission / reception unit 56. The transmission / reception unit 56 transmits the input data to the information management center 60 via the communication relay base station 68 of the telephone line L1. When the event information stored in the memory 46 of the transfer adapter 40 is transmitted to the information management center 60, the processing unit 44 resets the memory 46 of the transfer adapter 40 to an initial state. In the present embodiment, data is periodically transmitted from the trap unit 10 to the information management center 60. However, in another embodiment, data is transmitted in response to a request command from the information management center 60, The data may be transmitted when the determination result of the output values of the sensors 20 and 22 changes.
[0026]
In the present embodiment, the battery 57 is a secondary battery and is charged periodically. If the charging operation is to be omitted, a solar panel may be provided in the trap unit 10 to obtain energy from sunlight and charge the battery.
[0027]
Next, the processing of the information management center 60 will be described. The receiving device 62 of the information management center 60 receives data from each of the trap units 10 via the telephone line L1 and outputs the data to the counting device 64. The tallying device 64 performs a tallying process on these data, and finally outputs the data to the distribution device 66 as text format data. The distribution device 66 stores the text data as distribution information in a memory (not shown) in the distribution device 66, and makes the text data downloadable via the Internet L2. As described above, in the information management center 60 of the present embodiment, the tallying device 64 is provided and the received data is tallyed. However, in another embodiment, the received data is directly used without the tallying device 64. The information may be stored in the distribution device 66 and used as distribution information.
[0028]
The user can download the distribution information on the trap unit 10 from the information management center 60 using the user terminal 70 that can access the Internet L2, and check the status of the trap unit 10. In the present embodiment, the user terminal 70 is an information display device. As the user terminal 70, a normal computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistance) device, a portable information terminal such as a mobile phone, or the like can be used.
[0029]
