Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant introduction and domestication technology, specifically to a domestication device and system for terrestrial plants. Background Technology

[0002] Plant introduction refers to the process of cultivating wild plants under artificial conditions, or introducing wild plants or cultivated varieties from other regions for cultivation. During the introduction process, some plants may exhibit poor growth and development due to their limited ability to adapt to their environment. In such cases, various cultivation measures are needed to enable them to survive in the introduction site and meet the requirements for widespread cultivation. This process of continuously applying different cultivation measures to help plants adapt to the local environment is called domestication.

[0033] 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.

[0034] Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the implementation examples are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art.

[0035] refer to Figures 1-13 This invention discloses a domestication device for terrestrial plants, including a domestication box 1. A detachable isolation cylinder 2 is located at the center of the domestication box 1. Soil to be prepared is placed in a cavity 4 between the isolation cylinder 2 and the domestication box 1. A domestication trough 3 is located at the bottom of the domestication box 1, communicating with both the domestication box 1 and the isolation cylinder 2. The diameter of the communicating opening is the inner diameter of the isolation cylinder, allowing the soil in the cavity to enter the domestication trough, reducing soil retention in the cavity. A stirring mechanism that moves along the cavity 4 is installed within the cavity 4, and the stirring mechanism is connected to a reagent replenishment mechanism. It should be noted that the cavity is annular, and the stirring mechanism moves along the cavity. Compared to directly fixing the stirring mechanism within the cavity, the stirring mechanism of this invention avoids localized stirring of the soil, which could lead to uneven distribution of salinity, pH, and humidity, affecting plant growth. The volume of the cavity is smaller than the sum of the volumes of the acclimatization tank and the isolation cylinder. In actual operation, the soil in the cavity is not necessarily full. During the acclimatization process, the soil after conditioning can be added to the acclimatization tank 2 to 4 times.

[0036] Furthermore, in order to realize the movement of the stirring mechanism, an annular channel 5 is provided through the cavity 4 and the bottom of the acclimatization box 1 along the cavity 4. The cross-section of the annular channel 5 is "+". The stirring mechanism includes multiple stirring tubes 6 that pass vertically through the annular channel 5. The top of the stirring tubes is closed. The stirring tubes 6 are provided with spiral blades 7 and spray holes 8. The spray holes are preferably inclined and the openings face downwards to prevent the soil from being wetted after the reagent is sprayed out, and the soil from entering the spray holes and clogging them. The end of the stirring tube 6 that passes through the bottom of the acclimatization box 1 is connected to the drive component.

[0037] Furthermore, the driving component includes a horizontally arranged drive gear 9. The stirring tube 6 passes through the disc of the drive gear 9 and is fixed by a first bearing 10. The drive gear 9 is driven by a motor 11, and the stirring tube 6 passes through the bottom end of the drive gear 9 and connects to the reagent replenishment mechanism. It should be noted that a gear is mounted on the output shaft of the motor and meshes with the drive gear, thereby driving the drive gear to rotate. When the drive gear rotates, it drives the stirring tube to move along the annular channel. Since the stirring tube is fixed to the drive gear by the first bearing, the stirring tube also rotates under the influence of the soil as it moves along the channel.

[0038] Specifically: a second bearing 12 is fixed to the inner ring of the drive gear 9, and a first fixing cylinder 13 is fixed to the inner ring of the second bearing 12. One end of the first fixing cylinder 13 extends out of the second bearing 12 and is fixed to the bottom of the training groove 3, thereby realizing the rotation of the drive gear; or, as Figure 10 As shown, the second bearing 12 is sleeved and fixed on the side wall of the acclimatization tank 3, which can also realize the rotation of the drive gear. You can choose any one of the methods to set it as needed.

[0039] Furthermore, to prevent soil from entering the annular channel, clogging it, or even leaking into the area below the acclimatization box, several ball bearings 14 are embedded on both sides of the transverse cavity of the annular channel 5. The ball bearings are arranged along the annular channel. A moving ring 15 is arranged in the transverse cavity of the annular channel 5, which is adapted to the transverse cavity. The two sides of the moving ring 15 contact the ball bearings 14, thereby increasing the smoothness of the moving ring's movement in the transverse cavity and also sealing the annular channel. At the same time, a blocking strip 16 is provided at the top of the moving ring 15. The blocking strip 16 is located in the vertical cavity above the transverse cavity to prevent soil from falling into the vertical cavity at the top of the transverse cavity. The stirring tube 6 passes through the moving ring 15 and is fixed by a third bearing 17. When the stirring tube moves with the moving ring, the rotation of the stirring tube itself is not affected by the third bearing.

[0040] Furthermore, the reagent replenishment mechanism includes an outlet pipe 18 connected to the bottom end of the stirring tube 6, the other end of which is connected to the outlet port of a multi-channel rotary joint 19, the number of which is determined by the outlet pipe; the inlet port of the multi-channel rotary joint 19 is connected to a reagent box 21 via an inlet pipe 20, a reagent pump 22 and a flow meter 23 are provided on the inlet pipe 20, and multiple partitions 24 are provided inside the reagent box 21 to divide it into multiple areas. The top of the reagent box 21 is provided with a liquid inlet 25 that communicates with each area, and the inlet pipe 20 communicates with the area enclosed by the partitions 24 inside the reagent box 21; the number of inlet pipes 20 and outlet pipes 18 is the same. Add the corresponding reagents to the reagent box, such as water, salt solution, and pH adjustment solution. The reagents used for soil pH adjustment are conventional reagents, which can be selected as needed, such as lime water, ferric sulfate, ferrous sulfate, organic fertilizer, etc. The amount added should be selected according to the pre-measured soil pH.

[0041] Furthermore, to ensure that the rotation of the stirring tube does not affect the liquid outlet tube, the liquid outlet tube 18 and the stirring tube 6 are connected by a fourth bearing 26. A driven gear 27 is fixedly fitted onto the stirring tube 6 above the fourth bearing 26. A fixed gear 28 that meshes with the driven gear 27 is located below the driving gear 9. A second fixed cylinder 29 is fixed at the center of the fixed gear 28 and is fixed to the bottom of the acclimatization tank 3. When the first fixed cylinder 13 is installed on the driving gear 9, the second fixed cylinder 29 extends into the first fixed cylinder 13 and is fixed to the bottom of the acclimatization tank 3. It should be noted that the fixed gear is fixedly installed. When the driving gear rotates, it drives the stirring tube to rotate along the cavity, while the driven gear meshes with the fixed gear and moves along the fixed gear, thereby causing the stirring tube to rotate.

[0042] Furthermore, to increase the stability of the multi-channel rotary joint 19, a fixing post 46 is provided at the bottom of the acclimatization tank 3, and a base 48 is fitted onto the bottom end of the fixing post 46. The fixing post 46 and the base 48 are fixed together by a fifth bearing 47, and one end of the multi-channel rotary joint 19 is fixed to the base 48. Specifically, the fixing post 46 passes through the second fixing cylinder 29 and is fixed to the bottom of the acclimatization tank 3, making the multi-channel rotary joint more stable when rotating with the liquid outlet pipe.

[0043] Furthermore, to achieve the detachability of the isolation cylinder and allow the soil inside the cavity to enter the acclimatization trough, the acclimatization box 1 is vertically equipped with radially symmetrical baffles 30, and multiple sets are arranged along the center of the acclimatization box 1. The isolation cylinder 2 is inserted between the symmetrically arranged baffles 30, and a positioning strip 31 with a triangular cross-section is provided between the radially arranged baffles 30. The bottom of the isolation cylinder 2 is provided with a triangular groove 32 that matches the baffles 30. It should be noted that the isolation cylinder is fixed between two baffles of different diameters, and the positioning strip is arc-shaped or annular so that the triangular groove at the bottom of the isolation cylinder fits perfectly with the positioning strip, thereby preventing soil from being blocked between the bottom of the acclimatization box and the bottom of the isolation cylinder, creating a gap between them. The triangular shape also prevents soil from staying on the positioning strip. In this embodiment, the positioning strip is arc-shaped and is placed at the location of the baffles to increase the stability of the isolation cylinder, while elsewhere, the isolation cylinder is in contact with the bottom of the acclimatization box. While this design might result in soil remaining at the bottom of the acclimatization box during reset, affecting contact between the isolation cylinder and the bottom of the acclimatization box, it reduces soil retention at the bottom of the cavity. Making the positioning strip a ring would solve this problem, but some soil would still remain at the bottom of the cavity. The choice of which to use depends on the specific needs.

[0044] Furthermore, to remove the acclimatized plants from the acclimatization trough, a net bag 33 is installed inside the acclimatization trough 3. The top surface of the net bag is lower than or equal to the inner bottom surface of the acclimatization box. A post 34 is installed at the bottom of the net bag 33. The post can be used to support the plants and prevent them from tilting. At the same time, it also leaves some space at the bottom for filling with soil. Of course, not leaving space will not affect the growth of the plants. A pull rod 35 is installed at the top of the net bag 33. The net bag can be lifted by pulling the rod. The end of the pull rod is hook-shaped, which makes it easy to put the net bag away. A fixing ring 36 is fitted on the baffle 30 near the acclimatization box 1. The fixing ring 36 is fixed to the acclimatization box 1 by a connecting rod 37. The connecting rod is located above the stirring tube to increase the stability of the two parts of the acclimatization box after splicing the structure with the annular channel as the boundary.

[0045] Furthermore, the acclimatization box 1 is provided with an outer shell 38 near its bottom. All structural components located at the bottom of the acclimatization box are located inside the outer shell, such as the drive unit, acclimatization tank 3, and multi-channel rotary joint 19. The reagent box 21 is an annular box that is fitted and fixed on the outer shell 38. The liquid inlet end of the multi-channel rotary joint 19 is fixed to the bottom of the outer shell. That is, the reagent box is arranged around the outer shell, wherein the outer wall of the outer shell serves as the inner wall of the reagent box, forming a closed cavity.

[0046] This invention discloses a domestication system including terrestrial plant domestication devices. Specifically, it includes a portal frame 39, on which the domestication devices are fixed, and arranged in multiple rows, with multiple devices in each row. (See reference...) Figures 11-12 The portal frame 39 has boxes 40 on both sides, which are used to hold the soil to be prepared. The soil should be loose when squeezed and released to avoid clumping. A screw conveyor mechanism 41 is connected to the side wall of each box 40. This screw conveyor mechanism is existing equipment, mainly composed of a shaft, screw blades, and a motor, and is arranged horizontally. Support plates, support rods, and other structures can be added to the portal frame, depending on the setup, to accommodate bolt conveying mechanisms, telescopic rods, etc. The screw conveyor mechanism 41 is located on one side of the acclimatization devices in the same row. A discharge cylinder 42 is installed on the screw conveyor mechanism 41, and a solenoid valve can be installed on the discharge cylinder as needed. The discharge cylinder 42 corresponds to the cavity 4 of the acclimatization box 1. The screw conveyor is used to transport soil from the acclimatization devices located beside it. Figure 11 As shown. The housings are positioned at both ends of the portal frame to balance it and prevent tilting or tipping due to uneven weight distribution. Figure 11In the scenario shown, when the acclimatization device has three or more rows, a screw conveyor mechanism only needs to be installed beside the middle row of acclimatization devices, with one end of the screw conveyor mechanism connected to the housing. It should be noted that inside the housing, partitions are installed according to the bolt conveyor mechanism to divide the housing into multiple areas, and multiple feed hoppers 49 are installed on the outside of the housing, connected to each area, to allow material to be fed into the housing. Meanwhile, refer to... Figure 13 As shown, one end of the screw conveyor mechanism connected to the box extends into the box. The shaft is fixed to the inner wall of the box by a bearing seat or bearing. The screw blades are set as close as possible to the top surface of the partition and the inner bottom surface of the box, so that the soil can be transported to the acclimatization device through the screw blades as much as possible.

[0047] Furthermore, each of the acclimatization devices is equipped with a telescopic rod 43, which is an electric telescopic rod. A fixing plate 44 is horizontally fixed to the output end of the telescopic rod 43. A gripper cylinder 45 is mounted on the fixing plate 44, corresponding to the isolation cylinder 2. By controlling the telescopic rod and the gripper cylinder, the isolation cylinder is removed, allowing the soil in the cavity to enter the acclimatization trough. During this process, the motor 11 can be started to rotate the stirring tube 6 and the spiral blades 7, maximizing the amount of soil falling into the acclimatization trough. After the soil is added, the isolation cylinder is reset, and the spiral conveying mechanism fills the cavity with the soil to be prepared again. It should be noted that each row of acclimatization devices connected in a straight line can be flipped. After the plant acclimatization is complete, the acclimatization device can be flipped to empty the reserved soil inside. When flipping, the entire acclimatization device can be tilted, or the acclimatization box opening can be completely facing downwards. The specific flipping mechanism can be achieved using a flipping motor. The setup and installation can be customized based on actual conditions and existing technology. For example, each row of acclimatization devices (located on a straight line) can be fixed with rods, and the end of the pipe connected to the gantry frame can be connected to the flipping motor, or the motor can be connected via gear transmission. The height of the telescopic rod can be adjusted by fixing the height of the horizontal bar. Alternatively, the telescopic rod can be moved between adjacent acclimatization devices using a screw and nut, i.e., moved away from above the acclimatization devices, making it easier to flip them. Additionally, a tray is placed at the bottom of the gantry frame to collect the dumped soil.

[0048] Furthermore, soil pH meters, salinity meters, and soil moisture meters can be installed on the gantry frame as needed. Additionally, a water spray pipe can be installed above the isolation cylinder to irrigate the planted plants. It should be noted that the installation and use of the water pipes and monitoring instruments are highly flexible and can be installed according to actual needs. The controller monitors and records each row of acclimatization devices and corresponding instruments, water pipes, and other equipment. The measured data is directly entered into the controller for storage, thus obtaining relevant soil data changes during the plant acclimatization process, providing a reference for the acclimatization of the next batch of the same plants.

[0049] When using this invention, first place the plants to be acclimatized in the acclimatization tank. Preferably, groups with similar climates in two locations but significantly different soil physicochemical conditions should be included, with roots wrapped in or containing soil from their native habitat, and the amount of soil sufficient to ensure early plant growth. Add a certain amount of soil to the cavity, or add more soil after the plants in the acclimatization tank have stabilized. Once the plants in the acclimatization tank have stabilized, adjust the relevant parameters of the soil in the cavity (such as humidity, pH, nutrient content, porosity, and microorganisms) to gradually bring the adjusted soil parameters closer to the physicochemical properties of the acclimatization site, allowing the plants to gradually adapt to the soil conditions. Control the amount of each reagent added to the soil using a reagent pump and flow meter, then turn on the motor to stir it. After thorough stirring, activate the telescopic rod to remove the isolation cylinder. Once the soil in the cavity is unobstructed, it enters the acclimatization tank. Under the action of the stirring tube 6 and the spiral blades 7, as much soil as possible from the cavity enters the acclimatization tank. After the soil is added, reset the isolation cylinder. Once you observe that the plant roots have entered the newly added soil, or if the plant continues to grow well for a period of time, repeat the above steps to add the prepared soil again. This will ensure that the plant continues to grow well under the local soil conditions, indicating successful acclimatization. After successful acclimatization, use a lever to remove the net bag along with the acclimatized plant for planting.

[0050] The acclimatization system disclosed in this invention offers high flexibility in practical applications. Rollers can be installed at the bottom of the portal frame, allowing for easy control of climatic conditions by simply pushing the entire frame into a glass greenhouse or large climate incubator. Therefore, it enables dual control of both climatic and soil conditions for the acclimatization of plants with significant differences between the two. Alternatively, it can also be used to introduce and acclimatize plants with specific climatic ecotypes.
