Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plant sampling, and particularly to a plant root and rhizome sampling device. Background Art
[0002] The customs import trade volume is huge. To check whether there are live insects, impurities, mildew or pollution in the plant roots and rhizomes when they arrive at the customs, customs officers need to take samples of all imported plant roots and rhizomes for inspection.

Detailed implementation manners
[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and illustrated in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0015] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.
[0016] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0017] See Figures 1 to 4 , a plant root and rhizome sampling device, comprising a structural main body 1, a lifting mechanism 2, an electrical control system 3 and an accessory 4. The structural main body 1 includes multiple layers of bearing components. The lifting mechanism 2 and the electrical control system 3 are respectively arranged on the multiple layers of bearing components of the structural main body 1. Among them, the lifting mechanism 2 is arranged at the lower end of the electrical control system 3 and is connected to the electrical control system 3. After placing the device above the sample, automatic sampling operations can be realized. At the same time, photos can be taken for different sampling samples, different sampling compartments and positions, the taken samples can be packed and labels can be printed.
[0018] The structural body 1 includes an anti-rotation gear disk 101, a support column 102, a hoisting frame beam 103, and a mounting bracket 104. Among them, the anti-rotation gear disk 101, the support column 102, and the hoisting frame beam 103 form the main load-bearing structure of the plant root and rhizome sampling device. The anti-rotation gear disk 101 is the main load-bearing component, mainly bearing the lifting mechanism 2. At the same time, the anti-rotation gear disk 101 is inserted into the plant root and rhizome, which can play a fixing role to prevent the auger from rotating due to the reaction force during rotation, thus affecting sampling. The support column 102 is connected between the anti-rotation gear disk 101 and the hoisting frame beam 103 and is a middle-layer support structure, which can be used as a load-bearing component for the electrical control system 3 and the accessories 44. The hoisting frame beam 103 is screwed onto the support column 102 and is used to hoist the entire sampling device. The mounting bracket 104 is used to mount the monitor 304, the lighting lamp 305, and the remote signal transceiver 303 (wireless communication antenna).
[0019] The lifting mechanism 2 includes a lifting auger 201, a lifting actuator 202, a material distribution cylinder 203, and a return chute 204. The lifting auger 201 rotates into the plant root and rhizome, and samples corresponding depths are taken out by the auger. The lifting actuator 202 is connected to the lifting auger 201 and is used for lifting and lowering the lifting auger 201. The material distribution cylinder 203 is screwed onto the structural body 1 (specifically, it can be the support column 102), and the material taken out by the lifting auger 201 is initially divided into two parts. One part of the material directly falls back into the cabin. The return chute 204 is connected to the material distribution cylinder 203, and the stuck material in the material distribution cylinder 203 is discharged through the discharge port 2031 on the material distribution cylinder 203, which can prevent the material from getting stuck with the auger blades in the material distribution cylinder.
[0020] The electrical control system 3 includes an electric control box 301, a battery box 302, a remote signal transceiver 303, a monitor 304, a lighting lamp 305, a camera and light source 306, a label printer 307, a signal lamp 308, and a signal trigger 309. The electric control box 301 is mainly used to control the lifting actuator 202 of the root and rhizome sampling device (mainly including a lifting motor and a rotating motor, and an explosion-proof electric control cabinet and explosion-proof motors can be used to prevent explosion due to excessive dust during sampling). The battery box 302 supplies power to the equipment. The remote signal transceiver 303 is used for the transmission of remote instructions and the real-time backhaul of local videos and photos. The monitor 304 is used for monitoring the sampling process and simultaneously making a large-target detection and judgment on the material. The lighting lamp 305 is used for lighting during night work. The camera and light source 306 are used for small-target photographing of the sample surface. The label printer 307 prints sample information after sampling and bagging, and pastes it onto the packaging bag storing the material in sequence according to the sampling process. The signal lamp 308 (specifically, a three-color signal lamp can be used) is used for remote operators to observe the working state. The signal trigger 309 is installed at the lower end of the structural body 1. When the signal trigger 309 contacts the plant root and rhizome, it will be automatically triggered, causing the plant root and rhizome sampling device to start automatic sampling.
[0021] Annex 4 includes an anti-collision mechanism 401 and a storage bag 402. The anti-collision mechanism 401 is connected to the main structure 1. A total of 8 anti-collision pipes are arranged around the sampling device, which can prevent the sampling device from being bumped during lifting or sampling in case of an accident. The storage bag 402 is placed below one side of the material distribution cylinder 203 and is used to receive the taken-out materials.
[0022] The main structure 1 is the load-bearing structure of the whole device. Other structures are installed on it to support each component and also serve as the structural member for lifting support. The lifting mechanism 2 is installed inside the main structure 1. The lifting of the auger is controlled by a lifting motor, and the rotation of the auger for sampling is controlled by a rotation motor. The taken-out materials are initially divided into two parts by the material distribution cylinder 203, so that the plant root and rhizome sampling device can complete the sampling volume of one hold as much as possible. At the same time, to avoid material jamming in the material distribution cylinder 203, the lower end of the material distribution cylinder 203 is designed with a sloping protrusion and is provided with a discharge port 2031, through which the jammed materials can be discharged through the return chute 204. The electrical control system is installed on the main structure 1 and the lifting mechanism 2 respectively, and through corresponding control components, the control of the entire sampling timing and sampling actions is completed. Annex 4 is installed on the main structure 1 to play roles such as safety protection and transportation of sampling materials.
[0023] The present invention controls the sampling operation through electric control of the sampling mechanism, which can avoid potential safety hazards caused by direct human contact; replaces manual labor with mechanical structures, which can greatly reduce the workload of personnel; through the cooperation of the electric control box and the lifting mechanism, the sampling work efficiency can be greatly improved and the sampling time can be saved; through the signal trigger device, automatic trigger sampling can be realized, which greatly simplifies the operation process; through the label printer, the sampling samples in kind and the sample information can be corresponding one by one, making the sample source traceable.
