Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of plant seedling technology, specifically an intelligent seedling device that facilitates comparative research. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern agricultural technology, the demand for research on plant growth is increasing. Traditional seedling methods often fall short of the need for precise control and research on plant growth under multiple specific environmental conditions. Furthermore, due to limited land resources and the impact of climate change, it is particularly important to develop seedling equipment that can efficiently and accurately simulate changes in the natural environment in a laboratory setting.

[0003] While existing seedling cultivation devices on the market can cultivate multiple seedlings, they are limited in terms of space utilization, making it difficult to meet the needs of efficient and precise research. In terms of sample comparison studies, existing seedling cultivation devices also have significant shortcomings. Seedlings cultivated under different treatment conditions are usually scattered, making convenient and efficient comparative observation difficult. Researchers need to spend a lot of time and energy searching for and transporting samples in different areas for comparison, which is not only inefficient but may also damage the seedlings during transport, easily leading to confusion and interfering with experimental results. This makes it impossible to quickly and intuitively present the growth differences of different seedlings under different treatment conditions, thus limiting the in-depth development of research.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide an intelligent seedling raising device that facilitates comparative studies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems in the prior art by providing an intelligent seedling raising device that facilitates comparative research.

[0006] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A smart seedling raising device for comparative studies includes a main box. A magnetic suction plate is fixedly installed inside the main box, and at least two layers of cultivation units are magnetically attached to the magnetic suction plate. Each cultivation unit includes multiple cultivation boxes distributed at equal intervals. The cultivation box has a modular box structure, including a first modular plate, a second modular plate, and a panel. The first modular plate has a seedling tray and a second adjustment mechanism for lifting the first modular plate. The second modular plate has a first adjustment mechanism for driving it to move horizontally to separate it from the first modular plate. The second modular plate movably passes through the magnetic suction plate. The panel is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the main box. A frame is integrally formed on the top of the main box. Both the frame and the main box have guide holes for guiding any two or more first modular plates to the top of the main box for side-by-side arrangement and comparative observation.

[0008] As a further optimization of the present invention, the front of the main box is provided with an inlet for taking out and putting in the seedling tray, the top surface of the main box is provided with an outlet for the first combined plate to pass through, and a cover plate is provided next to the outlet.

[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, the guide hole includes a main hole body and multiple branch hole bodies, and the specifications of the multiple branch hole bodies are different.

[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, the back of the vertical plate of the first combined plate is provided with a magnetic block that magnetically engages with the magnetic plate, and the upper part of the magnetic plate extends to the top of the main box to adsorb the first combined plate in the comparative observation state.

[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, the second adjustment mechanism is also used to drive the seedling tray to rotate for all-round observation, including rotating a second gear mounted on the bottom plate of the first combination plate, a third rack located on the side of the second gear and meshing with it, and a second adjustment rod for driving the third rack to move; a placement plate for placing the seedling tray is fixed on the top of the second gear, a guide rail is provided on the side of the third rack, and the second adjustment rod extends to the outer side of the front of the main box and matches the support hole body.

[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, the first adjustment mechanism includes a first gear rotatably disposed in the main housing, a first rack and a second rack located on both sides of the first gear and meshing with it, and a first adjustment rod for driving the second rack to move; the first rack is fixedly disposed on the top of the second assembly plate, and the first adjustment rod extends to the outer side of the front of the main housing.

[0013] As a further optimization of the present invention, the front of the panel is provided with a handle and a slide rail that slides in conjunction with the inner wall of the main box; a light is fixedly provided on the back of the panel, and ventilation pipes for adjusting the seedling environment in the incubator are provided on both sides of the light, and the ventilation pipes are provided with air outlets.

[0014] As a further optimization of the present invention, a magnifying component is provided on the top of the main housing located between the frame and the magnetic plate, and a display screen for displaying the data collected by the magnifying component is provided on the top of the main housing located behind the magnetic plate.

[0015] As a further optimization of the present invention, the magnification component includes a mounting base, camera units and RFID readers located on both sides of the mounting base, and a translation mechanism for driving the mounting base to move horizontally; the camera units are located behind the seedlings, and an RFID tag matching the RFID reader is provided on the front of the vertical plate of the first combined plate.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. This invention, by setting up a main box and a magnetic suction plate, enables the device to simultaneously cultivate seedlings in multiple incubators. The multiple incubators are distributed three-dimensionally, resulting in high space utilization. Any two or more seedling trays can be quickly moved to the same layer and arranged adjacent to each other, which facilitates sample comparison and observation. It allows for a more intuitive comparison of the effects of different treatment conditions on seedling growth, solving the limitations of traditional seedling devices in terms of space utilization and sample comparison convenience, and meeting the needs of efficient and precise research.

[0018] 2. By setting a main hole body and a branch hole body with different specifications, the present invention avoids confusion between different seedling trays. After comparative observation, the seedling trays can be accurately returned to their original positions.

[0019] 3. This invention, by setting a second gear, a third rack, and a second adjusting rod, allows the seedling tray to rotate. During seedling cultivation, the orientation of the seedlings can be adjusted so that all parts can be exposed to light and ventilation. During comparative observation, the orientation of the seedlings can be adjusted to allow for comprehensive observation of all parts of the seedlings, thereby improving the accuracy of data collection.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] To address the limitations of existing seedling cultivation devices, which, while capable of producing multiple seedlings, suffer from inconvenience in space utilization and sample comparison, thus failing to meet the demands of efficient and precise research, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-4 , Figure 7This invention provides an intelligent seedling raising device that facilitates comparative research. It includes a main housing 1, with a magnetic suction plate 3 fixedly installed inside. At least two layers of cultivation units are magnetically attached to the magnetic suction plate 3, each cultivation unit comprising multiple equally spaced cultivation boxes 2. Each cultivation box 2 is a modular structure, including a first modular plate 201, a second modular plate 202, and a panel 203. The first modular plate 201 has a seedling tray 4 and a second adjustment mechanism 205 for lifting the first modular plate 201. The second modular plate 202 has a first adjustment mechanism 204 for driving its horizontal movement to separate it from the first modular plate 201. The second modular plate 202 movably passes through the magnetic suction plate 3. The panel 203 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the main housing 1. A frame 101 is integrally formed on the top of the main housing 1. Both the frame 101 and the main housing 1 have guide holes 102 for guiding any two or more first modular plates 201 to the top of the main housing 1 for side-by-side arrangement and comparative observation.

[0036] like Figure 3 , Figures 5-6 As shown, the back of the vertical plate of the first combined plate 201 is provided with a magnetic block 201a that magnetically engages with the magnetic plate 3. The upper part of the magnetic plate 3 extends to the top of the main box 1 to attract the first combined plate 201 in the comparative observation state.

[0037] The first adjustment mechanism 204 includes a first gear 204a rotatably disposed within the main housing 1, a first rack 204b and a second rack 204c located on both sides of and meshing with the first gear 204a, and a first adjustment rod 204d for driving the second rack 204c to move. The first rack 204b is fixedly disposed on the top of the second assembly plate 202, and the first adjustment rod 204d extends to the outer side of the front of the main housing 1. Pulling the first adjustment rod 204d outward or inward causes the first adjustment rod 204d to drive the second rack 204c to move, the second rack 204c to drive the first gear 204a to rotate, the first gear 204a to drive the first rack 204b to move, and the first rack 204b to drive the second assembly plate 202 to move, thereby separating or combining the second assembly plate 202 and the first assembly plate 201.

[0038] The front of the panel 203 is provided with a handle 203a and a slide rail 203b that slides with the inner wall of the main box 1; a light lamp 203c is fixedly provided on the back of the panel 203, and ventilation pipes 203d for adjusting the seedling environment in the incubator 2 are provided on both sides of the light lamp 203c, and air outlets 203e are provided on the ventilation pipes 203d.

[0039] like Figures 7-8As shown, the front of the main box 1 is provided with an inlet 103 for taking out and putting in the seedling tray 4, and the top surface of the main box 1 is provided with an outlet 104 for the first combined plate 201 to pass through. A cover plate 105 is provided next to the outlet 104. The guide hole 102 includes a main hole body 102a and multiple branch holes 102b, and the multiple branch holes 102b have different specifications.

[0040] In use, by pulling the first adjusting rod 204d outward, the second combined plate 202 moves towards the back of the main box 1 and separates from the first combined plate 201. Then, the first combined plate 201 is lifted upward by the second adjusting rod 205d, and the panel 203 is pushed to one side by the handle 203a. At this time, the seedling tray 4 planted with seedlings is placed on the placement plate 201b from the inlet 103 (the placement plate 201b can also be designed as a drawer-type structure, which can be pulled out when taking out the seedling tray 4 for easy access). Then, the panel 203 is pushed back to its original position by the handle 203a, and the second adjusting rod 205d is released so that it is locked into the notch groove at the top of the panel 203. Finally, the first adjusting rod 204d is pushed inward so that the second combined plate 202 moves above the first combined plate 201, thereby completing the placement of the seedlings and the combination of the cultivation box 2.

[0041] The seedling environment inside the incubator 2 is regulated by light lamps 203c and ventilation pipes 203d to simulate the growth of seedlings under different climatic conditions (temperature, humidity, light, ventilation, carbon dioxide concentration, etc.). The main chamber 1 is also equipped with corresponding components, such as a humidifier, heater, and carbon dioxide generator. The effects of different fertilizer types and amounts on seedling growth are studied by treating the seedlings.

[0042] When it is necessary to compare and observe any two or more seedlings in the seedling trays 4, the first adjusting rod 204d is pulled outward to move the second combined plate 202 towards the back of the main box 1 and separate it from the first combined plate 201. Then, the first combined plate 201 is lifted upward by the second adjusting rod 205d. The second adjusting rod 205d moves along the guide hole 102, so that the first combined plate 201 is moved to the top of the main box 1 through the outlet 104. Multiple seedlings are arranged side by side to facilitate comparison and observation by the experimenters. For example, seedlings cultivated under different light conditions can be placed together to compare their growth height, leaf color, root development and other indicators. Seedlings grown in different temperature environments can be placed next to each other to observe their adaptability to environmental changes and growth differences. Or, the gradual change of environment can be simulated to study the adaptability and coping strategies of seedlings to environmental changes. Or, samples of seedlings at various growth stages under the same environmental conditions can be placed side by side to make it easier to understand the growth status of plants at each stage.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Based on Example 1, in order to improve the accuracy of data acquisition, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second adjustment mechanism 205 is also used to drive the seedling tray 4 to rotate for all-round observation. It includes rotating the second gear 205a on the bottom plate of the first combination plate 201, the third rack 205b located on the side of the second gear 205a and meshing with it, and the second adjustment rod 205d for driving the third rack 205b to move. The top of the second gear 205a is fixedly provided with a placement plate 201b for placing the seedling tray 4, the side of the third rack 205b is provided with a guide rail 205c, and the second adjustment rod 205d extends to the outer side of the front of the main box 1 and matches the support hole 102b.

[0045] Pulling the second adjusting rod 205d outward or inward causes the third rack 205b to move, which in turn causes the second gear 205a to rotate. The second gear 205a then causes the placement plate 201b to rotate, which in turn causes the seedling tray 4 to rotate. This allows for comprehensive observation of all parts of the seedlings, improving the accuracy of data collection.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] Based on Examples 1 and 2, in order to further improve the convenience of comparative observation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figures 9-11 As shown, the top of the main housing 1 located between the frame 101 and the magnetic plate 3 is provided with an amplification component 5, and the top of the main housing 1 located behind the magnetic plate 3 is provided with a display screen 6 for displaying the data collected by the amplification component 5.

[0048] The magnifying component 5 includes a mounting base 501, a camera unit 502 and an RFID reader / writer 503 located on both sides of the mounting base 501, and a translation mechanism 504 for driving the mounting base 501 to move horizontally. The camera unit 502 is located behind the seedling and includes two cameras located above and to the side of the seedling to achieve omnidirectional scanning of the seedling. The cameras are high-throughput scanning cameras. An RFID tag 201c matching the RFID reader / writer 503 is provided on the front of the vertical plate of the first combination plate 201.

[0049] In use, the mounting base 501 is driven to move horizontally by the translation mechanism 504. The mounting base 501 drives the camera unit 502 and the RFID reader / writer 503 to move horizontally. The RFID reader / writer 503 identifies the seedling information inside the RFID tag 201c, such as variety, fertilization status, and growth time. The camera unit 502 captures the condition of the seedling, such as growth height and leaf color, and displays the image on the display screen 6 for easier comparison and observation by the experimenters.

[0050] The above-described embodiments are merely one implementation of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
