[0068] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation modes described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the implementation modes consistent with the present application. On the contrary, they are only examples of the devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0069] In the description and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings, the terms "first", "second", and "third" existing therein are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the objects used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented, for example, in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0070] It should be noted that "when... " in the embodiments of the present application can be at the instant when a certain situation occurs or within a period of time after a certain situation occurs. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.

[0071] Next, the technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems will be described in detail with specific embodiments. These several specific embodiments below can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. Next, the embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0072] In the existing field pollination implementation, the inflorescence model needs to be placed in the habitat where the experimental plants grow. Imitated pollen substances, usually sugar solutions, need to be placed on each flower. Taking one inflorescence as the observation object and 20 minutes as one observation unit, flower-visiting observations are carried out to record the pollinator visit types, visit frequencies, and visit behaviors of each inflorescence model with different inflorescence structures. The experiment is carried out on sunny days, and each inflorescence is observed for at least 10 hours. During the observation process, a digital camera is used to take pictures for recording.

[0073] In the prior art, the morphology of flowers is usually simulated by folding colored paper, and the inflorescence structure is changed by bundling or winding the flower axis; in this way, the inflorescence structure is simulated. Due to its poor simulation degree, it will affect the results of the pollination experiment. In reality, the colored paper is not realistic enough and it is difficult to attract pollinators to visit in reality. Bundling or winding the flower axis will cause a certain degree of damage or injury to the plant tissue. In addition, the existing inflorescence structures obtained have the defects of long production cycles and difficulty in quickly obtaining different inflorescence structures.

[0074] In view of the above defects, the present application provides a bionic inflorescence structure, its manufacturing method, and experimental method.

[0075] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a bionic inflorescence structure provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 It is an exploded view of a bionic inflorescence structure provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0076] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in, this inflorescence structure includes a first fixing structure 100, a bionic flower connecting piece 200, a flower axis structure 300, and a bionic flower structure 400; the specific structures will be introduced one by one below:

[0077] Specifically, the flower axis structure 300 is a cylinder.

[0078] As Figure 3 shown in, the bionic flower connecting piece 200 includes a first sleeve 210 and a second sleeve 220. The first sleeve 210 is used to clamp the flower axis structure 300, and a first preset number of second sleeves 220 are fixed on the side of the first sleeve 210; the second sleeve 220 is used to clamp the bionic flower structure 400.

[0079] Specifically, the bionic flower connecting piece 200 is integrally formed. The number of the second sleeves 220 is 1 to 4. According to the user's choice, the first sleeve 210 is used to clamp or sleeved on the flower axis structure 300;

[0080] As Figure 4, the bionic flower structure 400 includes a petal structure 410 and a flower stem structure 420; the back of the petal structure 410 is fixed to one end of the flower stem structure 420, and a nectar placement groove is formed on the petal structure 410 and opens towards the flower stem structure 420; the other end of the flower stem structure 420 is used for clamping in the second sleeve 220.

[0081] Specifically, the petal structure 410 is a bowl-shaped structure with a petal contour at the edge, the flower stem structure 420 is a cylinder, and the bottom of the outer wall of the petal structure 410 is coaxially fixed to the flower stem structure 420.

[0082] Further, as Figure 5 , the first fixing structure 100 includes a first cylinder 110 and a plug rod 120. A circular clamping groove is formed at one end of the first cylinder 110, and the circular clamping groove is used for clamping the flower shaft structure 300. The other end of the first cylinder 110 is connected to one end of the plug rod 120, and the plug rod 120 is used for inserting into the soil or simulated soil.

[0083] Specifically, the first cylinder 110, the plug rod 120 and the circular clamping groove are coaxially arranged.

[0084] Further, the plug rod can be a cylinder structure or a conical part structure.

[0085] Further, as Figure 6 , the inflorescence structure further includes a second fixing structure 500. The second fixing structure 500 includes a third sleeve 510 and a first connecting piece 520. The third sleeve 510 is used for clamping or sleeving on the flower shaft structure 300, and the first connecting piece 520 is fixed on the outer wall of the third sleeve 510; the first connecting piece 520 is used for assisting in fixing the inflorescence structure.

[0086] Specifically, a connection hole is formed on the first connecting piece 520. If there are too many flower shaft structures 300 to be connected, one or more second fixing structures 500 can be selected to be sleeved on the flower shaft structure 300; by passing a connecting rope through the connection hole, the connecting rope can be fixed on the branches of other vegetation to complete the further auxiliary fixing of the inflorescence structure.

[0087] When the embodiment of the present application is in use, a plurality of floral axis structures 300 are sequentially connected end to end through bionic flower connectors 200. One end of the floral axis structure 300 at the tail end, which is far away from the bionic flower connector 200, is detachably connected to the first fixing structure 100; one end of the first fixing structure 100, which is far away from the floral axis structure 300, is used to insert into the soil or simulate the soil. By adopting the inflorescence structure provided by the embodiment of the present application, the growth law of the flowers in most angiosperms can be simulated. The user can select different numbers of the first fixing structure 100, bionic flower connectors 200, floral axis structures 300 and bionic flower structures 400 according to their own needs, sleeve the bionic flower connectors 200 at different intervals on the floral axis, and fix different numbers of bionic flower structures 400 on each bionic flower connector 200. The simulation degree is relatively high, and the authenticity of the pollination experiment results can be improved.

[0092] S702. Use slicing software to perform preprocessing and model slicing operations on the 3D model of the bionic inflorescence component to obtain a print file of the bionic inflorescence component.

[0093] Specifically, the model slicing operation is a key step in the 3D printing process. It involves converting a three-dimensional (3D) model into a series of two-dimensional (2D) layers and generating detailed printing instructions. These instructions tell the 3D printer how to build the object layer by layer.

[0094] S703. Transmit the print file of the bionic inflorescence component to a 3D printer for printing according to preset quantities and materials, to obtain a preset number of the first fixing structure, bionic flower connectors, floral axis structures and bionic flower structures.

[0105] Specifically, modeling software such as sketch up pro or Fusion 360 can be selected as the 3D modeling software.

[0106] Specifically, the 3D model of the bionic flower structure obtained by adjusting the first parameter, second parameter, third parameter, and fourth parameter can simulate the forms of different flowers.

[0109] The first preset function is expressed as: x1 ∈ [c1, c2], y1 = 0; where c2 represents the fourth parameter.

[0110] The second preset function is expressed as: x2 = c1, y2 ∈ [0, H] = 0; where H represents the first parameter.

[0111] The third preset function is expressed as: x3 ∈ [c1, c3], y3 = H.

[0112] The fourth preset function is expressed as: x4 = c2, y ∈ [0, H], where c2 represents the inner ring radius of the second sleeve, and c1 < c3 < c2.

[0121] Specifically, the flower projection diagram is a positive projection contour diagram of the petals drawn on the basis of a circle; it can be drawn by simulating the shape and number of the petals; the center of the circle is the origin of the x-z coordinate system.

[0122] As an implementation method, draw a circle with the origin as the center, and use the path follow command to rotate and model the flower cross-section along the newly drawn circle to obtain the flower projection diagram.

[0123] As another implementation method, use a digital camera to take a standard photo of the front of the flower of the research plant, and then use image processing software (such as: Photoshop) to add marks at the top of each petal and at the junction of adjacent petals, and along the edge of each petal, a total of 40 marks are added to obtain the contour information of the front of the flower. According to the obtained contour, draw the petal graphics on sketch up, and use the push / pull command to push out the volume of the graphics, and the pushed-out amount should exceed the total height of the basic model of the flower to obtain the flower projection diagram.

[0124] Specifically, when intercepting the projection, use the center of the flower projection diagram as the origin of the x-z coordinate system, and scale the flower projection diagram so that the basic circle forming the flower projection diagram coincides with the projection of the preliminary model of the bionic flower in the x-z coordinate system.
