Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field, in particular to a field of Background Art

[0002] Molecular breeding is a modern breeding method that applies molecular biology technology to breeding. It operates at the molecular level and aims to improve the traits and yields of crops to meet the needs of agricultural production. It directly analyzes seed genes to determine whether they contain excellent traits, which has significant advantages of high efficiency and safety. In molecular breeding operations, an important process is seed slicing. In order to maintain the vitality of the seed embryo after slicing, the usual slicing sampling is carried out on the back of the seed (the end away from the embryo), and the fragmented samples are used for genetic analysis.

[0003] Currently, the most common sampling method is manual sampling. However, manual slicing is slow and can easily destroy embryo activity, resulting in unsatisfactory sampling efficiency and seed survival rate.

[0004] The application document with application number CN201010601808.7 in the patent library discloses a method and process for orienting, sampling and collecting seed tissue from a single seed. In order to ensure that the activity of the embryo is not destroyed after sampling, the method first "applies (for example, with a brush or spray) an iron-based coating 2 to the outside of the corn ear 1", and then uses a "magnet 34" to adsorb the seeds to ensure the directional slicing work. The above-mentioned operation method is relatively complicated to operate, and when the sampled seeds are bean seeds, this work of orienting by coating the iron-based coating and coordinating with the magnetic adsorption will be difficult to achieve.

[0005] Another example is the application document with application number CN201210217218.3 in the patent library, which discloses an automatic seed sampler and a method for sampling, testing and bulking seeds. This patent document is the same as the above-mentioned application document. Its sampling structure and the sampling method implemented by the sampling structure are relatively complicated, resulting in the inability to intuitively realize manual monitoring of the sampling process, which ultimately leads to great limitations in the entire slicing sampling process. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention provides a soybean seed laser cutting system and a cutting method thereof.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0008] The present invention first provides a soybean seed laser cutting system, including a main frame and a sorting device, a clamping device, a cutting device and a transport device arranged thereon, wherein the sorting device is configured to complete the directional sorting of the bean seeds, and the clamping device is configured to clamp the bean seeds provided by the sorting device to the position of the cutting device, and implement the slicing sampling of the bean seeds through the cutting device, and the cut samples and the main body of the bean seeds after sampling can be collected and transported one by one through the transport device.

[0009] As one of the core technical concepts of the present invention, the sorting device includes a feeding mechanism and an identification mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes a storage cylinder fixed on the main frame and capable of holding bean seeds. The bottom of the storage cylinder is provided with a plurality of openings, and top columns are vertically slidably arranged in the openings. The lower ends of the top columns are integrated and connected to a chassis that can be lifted and lowered, and the upper ends are configured to be able to lift up a single bean seed. The identification mechanism is arranged above the storage cylinder, and is configured to be able to collect image information of the bean seeds at the upper end of the top column and determine the orientation of the germ side of the bean seeds. On the basis of this structure, the bean seeds in the storage cylinder are lifted up by lifting the top column, and then the identification mechanism is used to identify the orientation of the bean seeds, so that the directional sorting of the bean seeds can be simpler, and the accuracy of the directional work of the bean seeds is ensured.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping device includes a three-axis driving mechanism and a clamping jaw that can be driven to move thereby, and the clamping jaw is configured to complete the clamping work of the bean seeds with the germ side of the upper end of the top column facing upward or obliquely upward.

[0011] As another core technical concept of the present invention, the transfer device includes two groups of storage mechanisms that are arranged opposite to each other and can store the main body tray and the sample tray. A conveying mechanism is provided below the two groups of storage mechanisms. The upper side of the conveying mechanism is provided with a consignment mechanism that can be driven by the conveying mechanism to move laterally between the two groups of storage mechanisms, and the consignment mechanism is configured to complete the transfer of the main body tray and the sample tray between the two groups of storage mechanisms. The sample cutting device includes a laser cutter, which is located above the transfer trajectory of the sample tray and is configured to complete the sample cutting of the bean seeds on the clamping jaws. In conjunction with the action of the transfer device, it can automatically complete the collection of the samples cut from the bean seeds and the body of the bean seeds after sampling.

[0012] On the basis of the above structure, when sampling bean seeds, it is only necessary to add a sufficient amount of bean seeds into the storage tube, and place a sufficient amount of main body trays and sample trays in one of the storage mechanisms in advance. Through the lifting and lowering of the top column and the monitoring of the identification mechanism, the positions of several bean seeds on the top of the top column that meet the sampling conditions can be accurately determined, and then the sampling of bean seeds can be achieved through the cooperation of the clamping device and the laser cutter. With the participation of the transfer device, the removed samples and main bodies can be classified and collected into sample trays and main body trays. The overall structure of the cutting system is simpler and easier to debug. The directional sorting of seeds and the progress of cutting can also be more intuitively displayed.

[0013] As described above, a soybean seed laser cutting system is a preferred core technical concept of the present invention. The storage cylinder is configured to include a fixed cylindrical cylinder and a cylinder bottom plate rotatably arranged at the bottom thereof, the opening is arranged on the cylinder bottom plate, and the loading mechanism also includes a first rotary drive machine connected to the chassis in a transmission manner, which is configured to drive the chassis to rotate around the axis of the cylinder. On the basis of this structure, after the top column has worked for a period of time, or when the number of soybean seeds that meet the sampling conditions lifted by the top column is small, the top column can be driven to rotate through the chassis, and then the cylinder bottom plate can be driven to rotate, thereby realizing the stirring of the soybean seeds in the storage cylinder, thereby preventing the orientation of the soybean seeds from remaining unchanged for a long time, thereby ensuring the efficiency of loading.

[0014] As a further preference, in order to ensure that the samples and the sampling bodies can be placed one-to-one in the sample tray and the main body tray, and at the same time ensure that the shipping mechanism can more smoothly dock with the storage mechanism to complete the transfer of the sample tray and the main body tray, the shipping mechanism includes a base frame and an upper part thereof which can be raised and lowered, and a bracket which can slide horizontally in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the shipping mechanism, and the bracket is configured to complete the supporting and transporting work of the main body tray and the sample tray.

[0015] The soybean seed laser cutting system as described above is provided with a sink groove at the upper end of the top column in order to enable the top column to move more smoothly to lift the soybean seeds and prevent the soybean seeds at the upper edge of the top column from rolling down, while enabling the lifted soybean seeds to be quickly stabilized at the upper end of the top column.

[0016] In order to facilitate the replacement of the storage mechanism, the storage mechanism is configured to include two storage racks capable of storing the main body tray and the sample tray, and the two storage racks are detachably connected to the main body rack.

[0017] As for the structure of the storage rack, its lower end is open, and a stop block is movably provided in the opening to stop the main plate or the sample plate. By coordinating the action of the stop block with the action of the shipping mechanism, the transfer of the sample plate and the main plate between the shipping mechanism and the storage rack can be achieved more easily.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment, in order to facilitate the transfer of the storage rack, that is, to facilitate the installation of empty sample trays and main body trays, or to transport the main body trays and sample trays full of bodies and samples, the storage rack is placed on the main body rack, and the lower end is clamped and fixed to the main body rack, and a handle is provided at the upper end.

[0019] In the soybean seed laser cutting system as described above, in order to improve the sampling efficiency, the clamping device is provided with two groups on both sides of the storage tube, and the laser cutter is located above the two groups of clamping devices, so that the two groups of clamping devices can better complete the clamping and cutting sampling work of the soybean seeds.

[0020] As described above, a soybean seed laser cutting system, in order to make the cutting system to operate more efficiently and automatically, the cutting system also includes a control device, and the sorting device, clamping device, cutting device and transfer device are all communicatively connected to the control device and are configured to be controlled and operated by the control device.

[0021] The present invention also provides a sample cutting method. Based on the above-mentioned sample cutting system, the sample cutting method specifically comprises the following steps:

The control system controls the gripper to clamp the qualified bean seeds on the top of the top column to the bottom of the laser cutter one by one according to the received position information, and cooperates with the action of the bracket to sample and cut the bean seeds one by one through the laser cutter, and completes the batch collection of different samples and bodies;

[0029] When cutting a single bean seed, the cut sample of the bean seed falls directly into the sample tray, and then the remaining body after cutting is placed into the corresponding position of the body tray by the clamping claw;
