Device for completely collecting root systems of potted plants

Abstract

The invention discloses a device for completely collecting root systems of potted plants, which comprises a culture mechanism for culturing a plurality of aquatic plant samples. Reciprocating motion mechanisms are arranged on both sides of the top of the culture mechanism, a first telescopic mechanism is arranged on each reciprocating motion mechanism, and a second telescopic mechanism is arranged at the telescopic end of each first telescopic mechanism. A plurality of semi-annular air bags are arranged at the telescopic end of each second telescopic mechanism, the air bags are in a semi-annular shape after being connected with one another, the adjacent air bags are communicated through connecting pipes, pressure relief valves are arranged on the connecting pipes, a fixing plate is arranged at the bottom of the air bag located on the innermost circumference, the fixing plate is fixedly connected with the air bag, and the section of the fixing plate is in a semi-annular shape. A plurality of bags which are fixedly connected with the fixing plate and have semicircular sections are arranged on the inner circumference of the fixing plate. According to the device, the situation that a plant is damaged due to the surface tension effect generated when the plant makes contact with the water surface in the collecting process can be avoided, the plant root system can be rapidly taken out of soil in water, and the risk that the plant root system is damaged in the collecting process is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a collecting device, in particular to a device for completely collecting root systems of potted plants. Background technique [0002] Plant roots play an important role in absorbing water and nutrients. When cultivating plants in the laboratory, it is necessary to place multiple identical plants in different environments for cultivation, so as to obtain corresponding data for evaluation and analysis. Plants can often be planted in hydroponics or soil culture. For plant roots, they often appear partially buried in the organic soil at the bottom of the water, but for hydroponics plants, especially if the contact surface with the water surface is too For plants with large and overdeveloped root systems, in order to improve the collection efficiency of medium and large-scale samples, mechanized harvesting is often used for plant harvesting, that is, the plants are quickly taken out of the water.

[0002] Plant roots play an important role in absorbing water and nutrients. When cultivating plants in the laboratory, it is necessary to place multiple identical plants in different environments for cultivation, so as to obtain corresponding data for evaluation and analysis. Plants can often be planted in hydroponics or soil culture. For plant roots, they often appear partially buried in the organic soil at the bottom of the water, but for hydroponics plants, especially if the contact surface with the water surface is too For plants with large and overdeveloped root systems, in order to improve the collection efficiency of medium and large-scale samples, mechanized harvesting is often used for plant harvesting, that is, the plants are quickly taken out of the water. Due to the poor water quality in the growth environment of some aquatic plants, water The fluidity is not strong and the viscosity is high. At the moment of pulling out, the surface tension between the water surface and the plant will be too large and the weight of the water attached to the root system will be affected, so the plant will often be damaged during the harvesting process. At the same time, due to the mechanized harvesting operation, it is easy to cause damage to the root system of the plant, which seriously affects the quality of the plant sample.
