Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant growth monitoring equipment technology, specifically a plant growth dynamic demonstration device based on 3D scanning. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of technology, the process of plant growth research is becoming more intelligent. Information on the growth status of plants is collected using acquisition devices, and then the collected information is played and demonstrated on display devices for people to study plant growth. For example, the public document of a 3D live broadcast device for plant growth disclosed in publication number CN109699349B discloses such a demonstration device, which specifically includes component 1, central control component 2, display component 3 and interactive component 4, etc.

[0003] However, the demonstration device has certain limitations in use. For example, the installation position of the collection component is fixed. As the plant grows, its size changes (width and height increase). As the plant grows larger, the collection component fixed in one area cannot collect all areas of the plant. Furthermore, as the plant grows larger, the proportion it occupies at the collection component increases, which can easily make the collection component collect the plant incompletely (some areas of the plant go outside the collection component's collection range), affecting the comprehensiveness of the collected information. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a plant growth dynamic demonstration device based on 3D scanning, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the installation position of the acquisition component is fixed, and as the plant size increases, the acquisition area of ​​the acquisition component will not be comprehensive.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a plant growth dynamic demonstration device based on 3D scanning, comprising: a base and a box installed on the base, wherein the plant growth dynamic demonstration device further comprises: a cultivation box disposed on the base and located inside the box;

[0006] The base is provided with an annular slide rail that fits around the outside of the cultivation box. An installation component is slidably mounted on the annular slide rail. The installation component is provided with a driving mechanism to make the installation component slide on the annular slide rail. A moving groove perpendicular to the annular slide rail is opened on the installation component. An installation seat is slidably mounted in the moving groove. A bracket is provided on the installation seat. A 3D scanning device is provided on the bracket.

[0007] The housing is equipped with a display device and a receiving device. The receiving device is electrically connected to both the display device and the 3D scanning device to receive information collected by the 3D scanning device and display it on the display device.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting component is provided with a mounting block, and a rotating rod is rotatably provided on the mounting block. The rotating rod is provided with a pull rope connected to the mounting seat to pull the mounting seat to slide in the moving groove, thereby driving the bracket to move and carry the 3D scanning device away from the cultivation box. The moving groove is provided with an elastic element connected to the mounting seat to limit the sliding of the mounting seat.

[0009] The mounting component is equipped with a mounting bracket, and a rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket. One end of the rotating shaft is equipped with a roller that fits against the base, and the other end of the rotating shaft is connected to the winding rod through a connecting mechanism to drive the winding rod to rotate.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a moving rod, a threaded sleeve, and a plug;

[0011] The rotating shaft has a mounting groove at the end away from the roller, the moving rod is slidably inserted into the mounting groove, the moving path of the moving rod is the same as the length extension direction of the rotating shaft, the threaded sleeve is fitted on the moving rod and connected to the mounting part, the moving rod has threads, the insert is installed on the outer end of the moving rod, and the coil rod has a slot on the side facing the rotating shaft that is on the same axis as the insert.

[0012] Preferably, the slot is provided with an elastic element to push the insert block inserted into the slot outward.

[0013] Preferably, the movable slot is provided with a contact switch located on the moving path of the mounting base. The contact switch is electrically connected to the drive mechanism to control the drive mechanism to stop working when the power is cut off.

[0014] Preferably, the support is provided with a lifting mechanism connected to the 3D scanning equipment to drive the 3D scanning equipment to move up and down.

[0015] Preferably, the box body has an opening at the top, and the base is provided with a telescopic mechanism for driving the cultivation box to move upward;

[0016] The cultivation box includes an outer box and an inner box that is movably inserted into the outer box.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the device uses a drive mechanism to slide the mounting component along the annular slide rail, causing the 3D scanning device to rotate around the cultivation box, resulting in more comprehensive information collection. Furthermore, the sliding of the mounting component causes the roller to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating shaft to rotate the winding rod, winding the pull rope around the outer wall of the winding rod. This pull rope then pulls the mounting base to slide, moving the 3D scanning device away from the cultivation box. As the plant grows larger, the 3D scanning device can still comprehensively collect information from it, ensuring the comprehensiveness of the collected information and making the demonstration process more accurate.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A plant growth dynamic demonstration device based on 3D scanning includes: a base 1 and a box 2 installed on the base 1;

[0028] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6A cultivation box 5 is mounted on a base 1, located inside a box body 2. An annular slide rail 6 is mounted above the base 1, fitting around the cultivation box 5 and within the inner cavity of the box body 2. A mounting component 10 is slidably mounted on the annular slide rail 6, and a driving mechanism is provided on the mounting component 10 to drive it to slide on the annular slide rail 6. A moving groove 11 is formed on the mounting component 10, perpendicular to the annular slide rail 6. A mounting seat is slidably mounted within the moving groove 11, and an elastic element is provided between the mounting seat and the moving groove 11. A mounting block 14 is provided below the mounting block 14, and a coil rod 15 is rotatably mounted on the mounting block 14. A pull rope 12 is provided on the coil rod 15, and the end of the pull rope 12 extends into the inner cavity of the moving groove 11 and is connected to the mounting base. A mounting frame 16 is provided on the mounting frame 16, and a rotating shaft 18 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 16. A roller 17 is provided on one end of the rotating shaft 18, and the roller 17 is in contact with the upper part of the base 1. The other end of the rotating shaft 18 is connected to the coil rod 15 through a connecting mechanism, so that when the roller 17 rolls, the rotating shaft 18 can rotate and the coil rod 15 can rotate together.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting base is equipped with a bracket 7, and the bracket 7 is equipped with a 3D scanning device 8 (the 3D scanning device refers to a 3D scanner). The housing 2 is equipped with a display device 3 and a receiving device 4 (the display device 3 refers to a monitor, and the receiving device 4 refers to a processor, which is used to receive the images scanned by the 3D scanner, process them, and then transmit them to the display device 3 for display and playback. The processor specifically includes a receiving module and a CPU). The receiving device 4 is electrically connected to the display device 3 and the 3D scanning device 8 respectively.

[0030] In summary, the demonstration process is as follows: plants are planted in cultivation box 5, and 3D scanning equipment 8 is used to collect information on the plant's growth process. This information is then transmitted to receiving equipment 4, processed by receiving equipment 4, and displayed on display equipment 3 to dynamically demonstrate the plant's growth. During the information collection process of 3D scanning equipment 8, the drive mechanism carries mounting component 10 along the annular slide rail 6, causing the support 7 to rotate around cultivation box 5 with 3D scanning equipment 8, collecting information from different positions of the plant. As mounting component 10 moves, roller 17 rolls above base 1, rotating shaft 18. Through the linkage mechanism, the winding rod 15 rotates together, winding the pull rope 12 around the outer wall of the winding rod 15, causing the mounting base to slide on mounting component 10. This moves the 3D scanning equipment 8 away from cultivation box 5, ensuring that even after the plant's growth trapezoidal shape increases, it remains within the collection range of 3D scanning equipment 8, guaranteeing the comprehensiveness of the collected information.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the connecting mechanism includes a moving rod 19, a threaded sleeve 20, and an insert 21. A mounting groove is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 18 away from the roller 17. The moving rod 19 is slidably inserted into the mounting groove and can slide left and right. The threaded sleeve 20 is fitted onto the moving rod 19 and is connected to the mounting component 10. The moving rod 19 has threads. The insert 21 is installed on the side of the moving rod 19 near the winding rod 15. A slot is provided on the side of the winding rod 15 facing the rotating shaft 18. The slot and the insert 21 are on the same axis. The threads cover a portion (not completely) of the moving rod 19. After the insert 21 is inserted into the slot, the threaded area of ​​the moving rod 19 has moved to the left side of the threaded sleeve 20, so that the moving rod 19 will not move towards the winding rod 15 during the continued rotation of the rotating shaft 18.

[0032] It should be noted that when the mounting component 10 slides and the roller 17 rolls on the base 1, it will cause the rotating shaft 18 and the moving rod 19 to rotate together. The threaded sleeve 20 acts on the moving rod 19, causing the moving rod 19 to move closer to the coiling rod 15 until the insert block 21 is inserted into the slot, connecting the coiling rod 15 to the rotating shaft 18. The roller 17 can only rotate with the coiling rod 15 during the subsequent rolling process, which is used to drive the mounting base to slide. This ensures that the mounting base will not slide when the roller 17 starts rolling, and will only slide after the plant has grown for a period of time, so that the distance between the 3D scanning device 8 and the plant is appropriate (the 3D scanning device 8 is closer when the plant is small, and farther away when the plant is large).

[0033] Furthermore, both the insert 21 and the slot are circular, and both the insert 21 and the slot are provided with protrusions (the protrusions are made of rubber) to increase the friction between the insert 21 and the slot, ensuring that the rotating shaft 18 can rotate with the coil rod 15; the slot is provided with an elastic element to push the insert 21 inserted into the slot outward; when the mounting part 10 moves in the reverse direction to reset, the moving rod 19 can move to the right through the threaded sleeve 20 to reset, so that the insert 21 is removed from the slot.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a contact switch 13 is provided in the moving slot 11. The contact switch 13 is located on the outside of the mounting base. The contact switch 13 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism through a wire. During the sliding process of the mounting base, after a certain distance, the contact switch 13 will be pressed, which will de-energize the drive mechanism, stop the mounting part 10 from sliding, and prevent the mounting part 10 from continuously rotating around the cultivation box 5.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support 7 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 9 connected to the 3D scanning device 8, which is used to drive the 3D scanning device 8 to move up and down, thereby increasing the comprehensiveness of the information collected by the 3D scanning device 8.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] For a preferred option, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The box 2 has an opening at the top, and the base 1 has a telescopic mechanism for pushing the cultivation box 5 upward. The cultivation box 5 includes an outer box 51 and an inner box 52 that is movably inserted into the outer box 51, so that the inner box 52 can be taken out from the outer box 51, making it convenient to remove the plants planted in the cultivation box 5.

[0038] Furthermore, the housing 2 is detachably mounted on top of the base 1.

[0039] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
