Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of crop leaf surface potential collection, and in particular relates to an automatic monitoring system and method for crop leaf surface potential at the seedling stage. Background Art

[0002] Plant electrical signaling is a mechanism used within plants to transmit and communicate information. When plants respond to external environmental stimuli, this information influences the plant's own bioelectrical activity. Changes in this activity then rapidly transmit this information to other plant tissues, enabling them to respond. Therefore, plant electrical signaling is a crucial component of plant cell communication and a key mechanism for plant adaptation and survival.

[0003] The technology for acquiring light-induced plant leaf surface potentials uses a weak, multi-source signal whose waveform is the result of the spatiotemporal superposition of the membrane potentials of a leaf population, making feature extraction extremely challenging. With the continuous advancement of deep learning technology, network models can automatically extract features from raw data, enabling better and faster solutions for feature extraction and classification of light-induced plant leaf surface potentials. This has promoted the application of plant electrical signals in agricultural engineering and provided a new approach and technical approach for the nation's agricultural intelligence and crop variety improvement efforts.

[0004] In the prior art, for example, the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN108508288A discloses a plant electrical signal detection device and method, which specifically discloses an insulating container, a first electrode, a second electrode, a conductive colloid, a signal amplifier and a data acquisition unit; the conductive colloid is attached to the upper surface and the lower surface of the insulating container, one end of the first electrode is arranged in the conductive colloid on the upper surface, and one end of the second electrode is arranged in the conductive colloid on the lower surface, and the other end of the first electrode and the other end of the second electrode both extend through the side of the insulating container to the outside of the insulating container and are both connected to the signal amplifier, and the signal amplifier is connected to the data acquisition unit. The electrical signals of the plant to be tested are detected without affecting the normal growth of the plant to be tested. Contact measurement is used during detection and no damage is caused to the plant to be tested. The overall material and experimental conditions are very low cost compared to other plant electrical signal measurement devices. However, when testing multiple samples, the entire process relies heavily on manual operations, the collection efficiency is low, and it cannot meet the huge data requirements of deep learning technology. In addition, the errors caused by human factors are superimposed in each experimental link, which will eventually cause serious interference to the stable acquisition of the surface potential of plant leaves.

[0045] Specifically, the seedling release device 100 is divided into an area to be detected, a monitoring area and a sample processing area. The transport component 110 uses but is not limited to equipment with a transport function such as a conveyor belt and a loader. The starting end of the transport component 110 is set in the area to be detected, and the end surrounds the monitoring area and the sample processing area and is connected to the starting end to form a ring; at least two trays 120 are set (this application takes two as an example), and both are circular, and the tray 120 is provided with a number of telescopic cylinders, hydraulic rods and other devices that can rise independently (the rising and falling switches are electrically connected to the reference electrode 122, and the reference electrode 122 is electrically connected to the first control module; or the rising and falling switches are directly electrically connected to the first control module), and the layout spacing is the same as the layout spacing of the through holes 221 on the disc 220 and the positions correspond one to one, and A reference electrode 122 is provided on it; the tray 120 is detachably connected to the transport component 110, and a distance is provided between the two trays 120 (the distance is adjusted according to the length of the transport component 110, and is optimally half the length of the transport component 110. If there are three trays 120, it is one-third the length of the transport component 110; and so on); a number of crops to be tested are placed in the area to be tested, and the crops to be tested are placed on a number of independently rising devices on the tray 120 by means of a robotic arm, manual labor, loading machinery, etc.; the sample processing area also unloads the sample crops that have been monitored from the several independently rising devices on the tray 120 by means of a robotic arm, manual labor, and unloading machinery, and processes them (unified recycling, on-site disposal, etc.).

[0046] The monitoring device 200 is set in the monitoring area, the monitoring frame 210 is placed on the ground of the monitoring area, and the transport component 110 passes through the monitoring frame 210. The monitoring frame 210 is made of a material with a shielding function. For example, a Faraday shield frame is closed by a black blackout cloth during monitoring, and the best choice is a Faraday shield net; the disc 220 is set in the monitoring frame 210 and fixed by support rods and other means, and the disc 220 is located directly above the transport component 110 in the monitoring area. There are several through holes 221 evenly distributed on the disc 220, and the distance between two adjacent through holes 221 is not less than the diameter of the through hole 221 (this application takes four through holes 221 as an example), and the number of storage boxes 230 provided corresponds to the number of through holes 221 (to ensure the growth environment of the crops to be detected, storage boxes can be placed in the storage boxes). 230 has an air vent on its side wall), and adopts a circular transparent box body, and a recording electrode 231 is provided at the upper end and the lower end is open, which covers the through hole 221. A contact plate 232 is provided on the side wall of the lower end surface of the storage box 230, and the length of the contact plate 232 is adjusted according to the height of the crop to be detected; a circular hole is provided at the center of the disk 220, and one end of the shielding member 240 passes through the circular hole and adopts a transmission cooperation with the transport component 110, a mechanical drive, etc., so that it can rotate along the center of the disk 220. The shielding member 240 can adopt a device with a structure such as rice support or bamboo dragonfly.

[0047] The disc 220 is provided with signal acquisition probes 222 having the same number as the through holes 221. The positions of the signal acquisition probes 222 correspond one-to-one to the positions of the through holes 221 and are located between the outer ring of the disc 220 and the through holes 221. The two ends of the signal acquisition probes 222 are respectively connected to the recording electrode 231 and the contact plate 232 on the top of the storage box 230. When the reference electrode 122 provided in the tray 120 capable of independently rising device rises into the storage box 230 and is connected to the contact plate 232, the signal acquisition probes 222 monitor the electrical signals on the surface of the crop leaves to be detected through the reference electrode 122 and the recording electrode 231 and send electrical information.

[0048] The lighting assembly 310 includes a halogen lamp and several gooseneck optical fibers. One end of the gooseneck optical fiber is connected to the halogen lamp, and the other end passes through the top of the monitoring frame 210, extends into the monitoring frame 210 and is located above the shielding member 240. A timing device can be set at the switch of the halogen lamp.

[0049] Furthermore, the crop to be inspected is manually placed on the reference electrode 122 on the tray 120 in the area to be inspected, and the position of the reference electrode 122 is adjusted so that it corresponds to and coincides with the position of the through hole 221 when it rises, and the transport assembly 110 is opened. When the tray 120 is transported to the position directly below the disc 220 and the horizontal projection of the through hole 221 coincides with the reference electrode 122, the rotation of the transport assembly 110 is stopped, and the device capable of rising on the tray 120 is manually opened, so that it drives the reference electrode 122 to pass through the corresponding through hole 221 in the vertical direction into the corresponding storage box 230 and connect with the corresponding contact plate 232; the reference electrode 122 continues to Move upward so that the top of the crop to be detected contacts the recording electrode 231 first. At this time, the signal acquisition probe 222 detects that the voltage of the electrical information is greater than the threshold value (the threshold value in this application is 5mV) and sends it to the receiving module of the host computer 320. The receiving module determines whether the electrical information sent by the signal acquisition probe 222 is the first time in this batch of monitoring (this time is the first time in this batch of monitoring). If so, it sends a first instruction to the first control module to control the reference electrode 122 to move downward for the first time, move downward a reserved distance (the reserved distance is used to allow the crop to be detected to grow by itself, 5 mm to 10 mm), and then wait for the object to be detected to grow; when its top After the end contacts the recording electrode 231, the signal acquisition probe 222 detects that the voltage of the electrical information is greater than the threshold value and sends it to the receiving module of the host computer 320. The receiving module determines that the electrical information sent by the signal acquisition probe 222 is the second time in this batch of monitoring (this time is the second time in this batch of monitoring), so it sends a second instruction (an instruction to turn on the timing module) to the lighting component 310 to turn on the timing module, and at the same time controls the shielding member 240 to rotate, so that the crop to be detected is light-induced by flickering light, and the signal acquisition probe 222 monitors it and sends the electrical information to the receiving module. The receiving module sends a third instruction for processing, classification, summary and packaging, and then sends The data is sent to the display module for display; when the timing module in the lighting assembly 310 ends, a fifth instruction is issued to the third control module to stop the shielding member 240 from rotating, and a fourth instruction is issued to the reference electrode 122 to make the reference electrode 122 drop back to the starting position for the second time (the reference electrode 122 is in the position when it was raised), thereby completing the monitoring of this batch of samples; the transport assembly 110 is turned on, and the tray 120 is transported to the sample processing area, while the other tray 120 rotates to the bottom of the disc 220 (while one tray 120 is being monitored, the other tray 120 is being unloaded with samples and the crops to be tested are being placed), and the above steps are repeated to complete the continuous monitoring.

By providing the support platform, the installation position of the device is improved, making it more convenient to connect with the corresponding components; the electrical information emitted by the signal acquisition probe 222 is amplified by the preamplifier 330, and then the electrical signal collector 340 uniformly receives, summarizes and packages it, and sends the packaged data to the host computer 320 for display, which makes the operation more convenient, the captured electrical signals are clearer, and the data are more accurate.

[0057] Based on the above scheme, the shielding member 240 includes a base 241 and several light shielding plates 242. The base 241 is rotatably set on the upper end surface of the disk 220. One end of the light shielding plate 242 is connected to the base 241. When the light shielding plate 242 is in the first position, it covers directly above the through hole 221. When the light shielding plate 242 is in the second position, it is located between two adjacent through holes 221, and the light shielding plate 242 switches back and forth between the first position and the second position under the drive of the base 241.

[0058] Furthermore, in order to achieve stability, the base 241 passes through the center of the disc 220 and is connected to the disc 220 through a rotating shaft; a drive motor 243 is provided at the bottom of the base 241, and the drive motor 243 is connected to the lower end surface of the disc 220 through a fixing bracket, and the drive motor 243 is electrically connected to the third control module.

The other end of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to a light shielding plate 242, which is circular and has the same size as the recording electrode 231. When the drive motor 243 has not yet started to rotate, the light shielding plate 242 is in the second position. When the third control module receives the fifth instruction, the drive motor 243 responds and starts to rotate, causing the light shielding plate 242 to switch from the first position to the second position and reciprocate. When the timing module has finished timing, the third control module controls the drive motor 243 to stop again, and the drive motor 243 drives the light shielding plate 242 to slowly stop to the second position; the light shielding plate 242 covers the recording electrode 231, so that the recording electrode 231 is switched between the blocked state and the unblocked state, thereby realizing flickering light induction, which is more convenient to operate, and through the control of the timing module and the third control module, the light induction time is made more accurate, thereby solving the problem that human control causes different light induction times, resulting in errors in monitoring data.

[0060] In the above scheme, in order to improve the accuracy of the data, the monitoring frame 210 is provided with a detachable light-shielding net 211, which is a shielding net. The light-shielding net 211 is set on the peripheral side of the monitoring frame 210 by means of buckles, bolts, etc. The top of the monitoring frame 210 is fixedly connected with the light-shielding net 211, and the outer side of the disk 220 is also sealed by the light-shielding net 211 to prevent natural light from entering the monitoring frame 210 from below. The light-shielding net 211 is a light-proof Faraday shielding net. When not conducting tests, the light-shielding net 211 is removed and stored; when conducting tests, the light-shielding net 211 on the peripheral side is installed, so that the interior of the monitoring frame 210 is in a light-proof state, solving the problem of natural light affecting light induction and causing data errors.

[0061] To achieve positioning, in the above embodiment, the tray 120 is provided with a groove 123 corresponding to the through-hole 221 on the disk 220, and the groove 123 is used to accommodate the reference electrode 122. A telescopic rod 121 is disposed within the groove 123, and a push plate 124 is disposed at one end of the telescopic rod 121 away from the groove 123. The push plate 124 is connected to the reference electrode 122 and is used to drive the reference electrode 122 to slide up and down along the side wall of the storage box 230.

[0062] Furthermore, a rotating motor 125 is provided on the lower end surface of the tray 120, and a positioning member 126 is provided on the upper end surface of the tray 120. The positioning member 126 is electrically connected to the rotating motor 125. The positioning member 126 is used to monitor the positional relationship between the groove 123 and the through hole 221, and control the start and stop of the rotating motor 125.

[0063] Specifically, a sleeve is detachably provided on the transport component 110, and a rotating motor 125 is provided in the sleeve. The shaft extension end of the rotating motor 125 is connected to the lower end surface of the tray 120. A plurality of grooves 123 are provided on the tray 120. The number of the grooves 123 is the same as the number of the through holes 221, and the positions correspond one to one. The positioning member 126 includes a laser positioning device 1261 and a positioning plate 1262. The positioning plate 1262 is provided on the lower end surface of the disc 220 and is located on both sides of the through hole 221. The laser positioning device 1261 is provided on the lower end surface of the disc 220 and is located on both sides of the through hole 221. 61 is arranged on both sides of the groove 123 and is at the same position as the positioning plate 1262. The laser locator 1261 is connected to the rotating motor 125 through a controller. The controller is used to receive parameter information of the laser locator 1261 and the positioning plate 1262, and control the rotating motor 125 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the laser locator 1261 until the projection of the groove 123 and the through hole 221 in the vertical direction coincide with each other (the laser locator 1261 is located directly below the positioning plate 1262).

[0064] A telescopic rod 121 is arranged in the groove 123. When the telescopic rod 121 is in a retracted state, the telescopic rod 121 is retracted in the groove 123, and the top of the telescopic rod 121 is flush with the upper end surface of the disc 220. A push plate 124 is provided at the other end of the telescopic rod 121. A cylindrical box is provided on the push plate 124. The bottom of the cylindrical box is the reference electrode 122. The top of the cylindrical box is exposed and its diameter is smaller than the diameter of the storage box 230. The cylindrical box is sealed with the reference electrode 122. The extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 121 is electrically connected to the first control module, and the first descent of the telescopic rod 121 is achieved by receiving the first instruction.

[0065] In order to achieve the purpose of automatic extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 121, the controller is electrically connected to the laser locator 1261 of the positioning member 126 to determine whether the laser locator 1261 and the positioning plate 1262 overlap. If they do not overlap, an instruction is issued to the rotating motor 125 to rotate. If they overlap, an instruction is issued at the same time to increase the telescopic rod 121 and stop the rotating motor 125. By setting the controller so as to be electrically connected to the rotating motor 125 and the telescopic rod 121 respectively, the position of the groove 123 is adjusted first so that the reference electrode 122 is located directly below the through hole 221. Then, by the upward extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 121, the reference electrode 122 passes through the through hole 221 in the vertical direction and enters the storage box 230, and the top of the crop to be detected is in contact with the recording electrode 231. Thus, the purpose of automatic extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 121 is achieved.

[0066] In order to make the operation more convenient and achieve the purpose of automatic stopping of the telescopic rod 121, the controller is electrically connected to the signal acquisition probe 222. When the electrical information of the signal acquisition probe 222 is sent to the controller, the controller issues an instruction for the telescopic rod 121 to stop rising, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic stopping of the telescopic rod 121.

[0067] Furthermore, in order to achieve the purpose of full automation, the transport component 110 includes a conveyor belt and a transport motor, the transport motor and the conveyor belt are connected through a main controller, and a positioning device 111 that is the same as the positioning member 126 on the pallet 120 is provided on the conveyor belt, the positioning device 111 is electrically connected to the main controller, and the positioning end of the positioning device 111 is provided on two opposite sides of the disc 220, the detection end 1112 of the positioning device 111 is provided on both sides of the pallet 120, and the spacing between the two positioning ends is the same as the spacing between the two detection ends 1112, and when the detection end 1112 coincides with the fixed end in the vertical direction, the center line of the pallet 120 and the disc 220 in the vertical direction coincide; the main controller obtains the parameter information of the positioning end and the detection end 1112 of the positioning device 111 (if there are two pallets 120, it is the first pallet 120 and the second pallet 120, The detection ends 1112 of the positioning device 111 on the transmission belt are correspondingly named as the first detection end 1112 and the second detection end 1112; when the first detection end 1112 coincides with the positioning end, the first detection end 1112 is temporarily closed, and when the detection is turned on again, the second detection end 1112 is opened, thereby realizing the interchange of the first detection end 1112 and the second detection end 1112, so that the first pallet 120 and the second pallet 120 can form a circular monitoring), and judging whether the positioning end and the detection end 1112 of the positioning device 111 coincide with each other. If not, the transport motor is controlled to rotate to drive the conveyor belt to move along a predetermined rule. If they coincide, the transport motor is controlled to stop to stop the conveyor belt; solving the problem of deviation in the stopping position caused by lack of skill in manually controlling the transport component 110, thereby solving the problem of difficulty in aligning the groove 123 and the through hole 221 due to position deviation.

[0068] For overall unification, the main controller, the controller and the receiving module of the host computer 320 are electrically connected to form a unified control, thereby making the operation more convenient and unified.

[0069] See Figure 10 , provides a method for automatically monitoring the surface potential of crop leaves at the seedling stage, which is applied to any of the above-mentioned automatic monitoring systems for the surface potential of crop leaves at the seedling stage, comprising the following steps:

[0070] Step S10. Prepare a plurality of crops to be tested and place them on the reference electrode 122 on the tray 120;

[0071] Step S20. The transport assembly 110 is turned on to move the tray 120 to the position directly below the disk 220 , and the tray 120 stops moving when the through hole 221 and the reference electrode 122 are vertically aligned.

[0072] Step S30. The reference electrode 122 drives the crop to be tested to rise vertically through the through-hole 221 into the storage box 230 and stops when it contacts the recording electrode 231 on the top of the storage box 230.

[0073] Step S40: After the top of the crop to be detected contacts the recording electrode 231, the reference electrode 122 moves downward a reserved distance and waits for the crop to be detected to grow on its own;

[0074] Step S50: When the top of the crop to be detected contacts the recording electrode 231 again, the light assembly 310 is turned on and timing is started, while the shielding member 240 rotates;

[0075] Step S60: The signal acquisition probe 222 monitors and sends the data to the host computer 320 for processing and display;

[0076] Step S70. After the timing of the light assembly 310 ends, the light assembly 310 is turned off, the shielding member 240 stops rotating, and the reference electrode 122 descends back onto the tray 120;

[0077] Step S80 . The transport assembly 110 moves to drive another tray 120 to move directly below the disc 220 , and repeats steps S20 to S80 .

[0078] The specific control process is as follows:

[0079] In the initial state, the two trays 120 are respectively located between the monitoring area and the seedling planting area, and the reference electrodes 122 of the trays 120 are placed with crops to be detected, and the first positioning end 1111 and the second positioning end 1113 are both in the closed state; the entire crop seedling leaf surface potential automatic monitoring system is powered on and the upper computer 320 is turned on, and the upper computer 320 starts to run. First, the receiving module sends an instruction to turn on the main controller. The main controller responds to the instruction to turn on and receive parameter information of the first positioning end 1111 and the detection end 1112 of the positioning device 111, and determines whether the first positioning end 1111 and the detection end 1112 of the positioning device 111 coincide with each other. If not, the transport motor is controlled to rotate, driving the conveyor belt to move along the predetermined rule until the positioning end of the first positioning device 111 coincides with the detection end 1112, and a conveyor belt stop instruction is issued and the first positioning end 1111 is closed, and a completion and termination instruction is sent to the receiving module.

[0080] The receiving module responds to the completion and termination instructions issued by the main controller, and sends a start instruction to the controller. The controller responds to the start instruction issued by the receiving module, obtains parameter information of the laser locator 1261 and the positioning plate 1262, and determines whether the laser locator 1261 and the positioning plate 1262 coincide with each other. If not, the controller issues an instruction to rotate the rotating motor 125, so that the rotating motor 125 drives the tray 120 to rotate until the laser locator 1261 and the positioning plate 1262 coincide with each other. The controller obtains parameter information of the laser locator 1261 and the positioning plate 1262, and when the laser locator 1261 and the positioning plate 1262 coincide with each other, the controller issues an instruction to stop the rotation of the rotating motor 125 and an instruction to raise the telescopic rod 121. The telescopic rod 121 rises in response to the instruction. The controller determines whether the signal acquisition probe 222 sends electrical information of the crop leaf surface electrical signal. If so, the controller issues an instruction to stop the telescopic rod 121 from rising and sends a completion and termination instruction to the receiving module.

[0081] The receiving module responds to the completion and termination instructions issued by the controller, and obtains the electrical information of the crop leaf surface electrical signal emitted by the signal acquisition probe 222, and determines whether the number of times the voltage of the electrical information is greater than the threshold is less than 2; if so, it sends a first instruction to the first control module to control the reference electrode 122 to descend for the first time, and the first control module responds to the first instruction and sends an instruction to the controller to control the telescopic rod 121 to move downward a preset distance, which is responded to and executed by the controller; after the execution is completed, it waits, and at this time the receiving module continues to obtain the electrical information of the crop leaf surface electrical signal emitted by the signal acquisition probe 222, and determines whether the number of times the voltage of the electrical information is greater than the threshold is less than 2. If not, the receiving module The second instruction and the third instruction are respectively sent to the second control module and the display module; the second control module responds to the second instruction sent by the receiving module, turns on the timing module, and at the same time, the timing module responds to the second instruction and sends a fifth instruction to open the shielding member 240 to the third control module, and the third control module controls the shielding member 240 to rotate in response to the fifth instruction; at the same time, the display module responds to the third instruction sent by the receiving module, processes and displays the electrical information sent by the acquired signal acquisition probe 222; after the timing module receives the timing, it simultaneously sends a completion and termination instruction, an instruction for the telescopic rod 121 to descend for the second time, and an instruction for the shielding member 240 to stop rotating to the receiving module, the controller, and the third control module.

[0082] The third control module responds to the instruction of the timing module to stop the rotation of the shielding member 240, so that the shielding member 240 returns to the second position; the controller responds to the second descending instruction issued by the timing module, so that the telescopic rod 121 returns to the groove 123 and stops; the receiving module responds to the completion and termination instruction issued by the timing module, and sends an instruction to the main controller to turn on. The main controller responds to the instruction to turn on and receive the parameter information of the second positioning end 1113 and the detection end 1112 of the positioning device 111, and determines whether the second positioning end 1113 of the positioning device 111 coincides with the detection end 1112. If not, the transport motor is controlled to rotate, driving the conveyor belt to move along the predetermined rules until the positioning end of the second positioning device 111 coincides with the detection end 1112, and issues an instruction to stop the conveyor belt and close the second positioning end 1113, and at the same time sends an instruction to the receiving module to complete and terminate.

[0083] Repeat the above steps to realize the automatic monitoring of the continuous cycle of leaf surface potential of crops in the seedling stage.

[0084] This application adopts a technical solution of an automated monitoring method for the surface potential of crop leaves at the seedling stage to achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0085] 1. By automatically controlling the start and stop of the transport assembly 110, the problem of deviation in the stopping position caused by lack of manual control of the transport assembly 110 is solved, thereby solving the problem of difficulty in aligning the groove 123 and the through hole 221 due to position deviation.

[0086] 2. By automatically controlling the rise and fall of the telescopic rod 121, the phenomenon of data monitoring deviation caused by human operation causing contact with the crop to be tested is avoided, thereby solving the problem of multiple experiments being superimposed on each other, which will eventually cause serious interference with the stable acquisition of the surface potential of the plant leaf.

[0087] 3. By leaving growth space, the crops to be tested have a period of time to grow on their own, solving the problem of data deviation caused by human contact when monitoring the crops to be tested.

[0088] 4. By mechanically controlling the time of light induction, the experiment is ensured to be under the same lighting conditions, thereby solving the data deviation problem caused by different monitoring conditions each time due to human control.

[0089] The above-described embodiments only express the way in which the equipment of the present application is arranged. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make a number of adjustments and improvements without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
