Description

Technical Field

[0002] Cymbidium orchid, also known as Chinese orchid, is a general term for orchid plants native to China, Japan and parts of Southeast Asia. It is a treasure among traditional ornamental flowers. In the modern breeding of Cymbidium orchid, tissue culture seedling technology (plant tissue culture) is widely used to achieve efficient propagation and variety improvement. However, the survival rate of tissue culture seedlings is low after being transferred from a sterile environment to a natural cultivation environment. Therefore, transplanting of Cymbidium orchid tissue culture seedlings is very important.

[0003] At present, when transplanting tissue culture seedlings, the commonly used process is: first, the tissue culture seedlings are hardened, and then the staff manually scrapes the culture medium and grasps the base of the orchid to pull out the tissue culture seedlings, cleans the tissue culture seedlings, and finally transplants them into the planting rack. However, this process has significant disadvantages. On the one hand, the roots and bases of the tissue culture seedlings are easily mechanically damaged during the manual grasping and pulling process, which greatly affects the survival rate of the tissue culture seedlings after transplanting. On the other hand, this process lacks an effective screening mechanism for tissue culture seedlings, resulting in the mixing of substandard tissue culture seedlings into the planting process, thereby greatly reducing the overall survival rate and finished product rate of orchid seedlings, and is not practical.

[0040] Reference Figures 8 to 11 , a square frame opening is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning frame, a gate valve 48 is installed on the square frame opening, and the height of the square frame opening corresponds to the height of the tissue culture bottle 2, the width of the square frame opening is 1.2 times the conventional width of the tissue culture seedling, and a discharge chute 49 is installed at the outward end near the bottom end of the square frame opening, and the screening component 5 includes an aggregate frame, the aggregate frame is installed at the top of the mounting frame three, and a screen 2 53 is installed inside, and a receiving box 52 is installed on the top of the screen 2 53, and the receiving box 52 is located near the end of the aggregate frame away from the cleaning frame, and the inner bottom wall thereof is penetrated It is provided with multiple through holes, the height of the discharge trough 49 corresponds to the height of the culture medium in the tissue culture bottle 2, and through grooves 413 are provided on the top wall and the bottom wall of the discharge trough 49. The width of the through groove 413 corresponds to the conventional root diameter of the tissue culture seedlings. The bottom wall of the outward end of the discharge trough 49 is connected to the top wall of the material receiving box 52 near the cleaning frame. A return pipe 51 is installed at the bottom end of the collection frame, and is connected to the discharge pipe 46 through the return pipe 51. Two baffles are symmetrically installed on the top of the collection frame. The two baffles are both inclined outward and are respectively located on both sides of the discharge trough 49.

[0041] In the present invention, after hardening, the Cymbidium tissue culture seedlings are placed together with the tissue culture bottle 2 in the positioning groove 11 on the conveyor belt, and the tissue culture bottle 2 is stepped and conveyed to the bottom of the removal mechanism 3 by the conveying mechanism 1. Then, the cylinder 31 is opened to move the removal mechanism 3 downward and insert it into the culture medium in the tissue culture bottle 2 until the bottom end of the mounting ring in the removal mechanism 3 contacts the inner bottom wall of the tissue culture bottle 2. Since the outer diameter of the connecting plate in the removal mechanism 3 is the same as the outer diameter of the mounting ring, and the outer diameters of the connecting plate and the mounting ring are both 5 mm smaller than the inner diameter of the tissue culture bottle 2 (that is, the outer diameters of the connecting plate and the mounting ring are slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the tissue culture bottle 2), when the mounting ring is inserted into the culture medium, it will not cause damage to the roots of the tissue culture seedlings in the culture medium.

[0042] When the bottom end of the mounting ring contacts the inner bottom wall of the tissue culture bottle 2, the motor 2 35 is started, thereby driving the driving rod and the small gear 2 39 at the bottom end of the driving rod to rotate. Since the small gear 2 39 is engaged with the outer gear ring 311, and the outer gear ring 311 is engaged with the four small gears 1 38, the rotation of the small gear 2 39 can drive the outer gear ring 311 and the four small gears 1 38 to rotate synchronously. Since the four small gears 1 38 are connected to the scraper 37 through the connecting rod at their bottom ends, and the connection between the connecting rod and the scraper 37 is close to the edge of one end of the scraper 37, when the four small gears 1 38 are rotated by controlling the motor 2 35, the four scrapers 37 can be rotated and flipped out from the groove until all four scrapers 37 are rotated. After 90 degrees, turn off motor 2 35 (at this time, the scraper 37 changes from the initial storage state to the unfolded state), and then start motor 1 34 to rotate the connecting plate, so that the connecting rod 36, the mounting ring and the scraper 37 on the mounting ring rotate. During the continuous rotation of the scraper 37, the culture medium and the tissue culture bottle 2 can be effectively separated. Since the angle between the inward inclined surface of the scraper 37 and the horizontal plane is 45 degrees, when the scraper 37 is performing a scraping operation and accidentally contacts the roots of the orchid, the roots can be pushed away to prevent the scraper 37 from cutting the roots of the orchid, that is, avoiding damage to the roots of the orchid, thereby ensuring the integrity of the orchid tissue culture seedlings while also ensuring the survival rate of the orchid tissue culture seedlings after transplantation.

[0043] Then, the cylinder 31 is used to move the removal mechanism 3 upward and reset. Since the scraper 37 is tilted inward, the removal mechanism 3 can move the Cymbidium tissue culture seedlings together with the culture medium upward and out of the tissue culture bottle 2 under the support of the scraper 37. During the upward movement of the removal mechanism 3, the external power supply is turned on to power the multiple piezoelectric ceramics 312 on the scraper 37, so that the piezoelectric ceramics 312 generate low-intensity ultrasonic vibrations and transmit the generated ultrasonic vibrations to the scraper 37. At this time, the scraper 37 will vibrate, and under the vibration of the scraper 37, the culture medium thereon will gradually break and fall into the tissue culture bottle 2, thereby reducing the culture medium carried by the roots of the Cymbidium tissue culture seedlings, so as to reduce the difficulty of subsequent cleaning. When the removal mechanism 3 is completely reset, the moving part 32 is controlled to The mounting plate 33 is moved toward the feed port 41 on the cleaning frame, thereby causing the removal mechanism 3 to move toward the feed port 41 on the cleaning frame until the removal mechanism 3 moves above the feed port 41. At this time, the scraper 37 is reset by controlling the motor 2 35, and the Cymbidium tissue culture seedlings that have lost their support will fall into the cleaning frame, thereby realizing the automated removal of the Cymbidium tissue culture seedlings. Compared with the conventional manual removal method, this automated process effectively avoids the problem of mechanical damage to the roots and base of the tissue culture seedlings during the process of manually scraping off the culture medium and grasping the base of the Cymbidium to pull out the tissue culture seedlings, and eliminates the uncertainty caused by differences in human operations, thereby effectively ensuring the survival rate of the Cymbidium tissue culture seedlings after transplantation, while improving the removal efficiency of the Cymbidium tissue culture seedlings and significantly reducing labor intensity.

[0044] Then, the above-mentioned operations of placing the tissue culture bottle 2 and removing the Cymbidium tissue culture seedlings and dropping them into the cleaning frame are repeated until a certain number of Cymbidium tissue culture seedlings are put into the cleaning frame. When the Cymbidium tissue culture seedlings enter the cleaning frame, they will naturally fall onto the screen 1 412. Subsequently, a low-concentration CTAB solution is injected into the cleaning frame through the liquid inlet pipe 1 43 and the bubble generator 44 is turned on. Under the action of the bubble generator 44, a large number of micro-nano bubbles will be generated in the CTAB solution entering the cleaning frame, that is, the CTAB solution entering the cleaning frame is in a gas-liquid mixed state. As the CTAB solution is continuously injected, the motor 3 42 is turned on to make the cross bar, the rotating frame and the soft brush 411 revolve clockwise along the opening on the cleaning frame (the rotation direction is Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the gear 410 on the rotating frame is meshed with the inner gear ring, and the soft brush 411 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the gear 410. When the rotating frame revolves, the gear 410 will rotate, thereby driving the soft brush 411 to rotate. Under the synergistic effect of the revolution and rotation of the soft brush 411, on the one hand, the tissue culture seedlings can be separated and the culture medium and dirt attached to the tissue culture seedlings can be effectively brushed off. On the other hand, the screen 412 can be continuously brushed to ensure that the screen 412 is clean and unobstructed, and to prevent it from being blocked by the culture medium and dirt brushed off, thereby effectively ensuring the smooth progress of the cleaning work.

[0045] The surface of the tissue culture seedlings carries a negative charge due to their own structural characteristics. Specifically, the pectin groups in the cell wall will dissociate under specific conditions, releasing negatively charged ions. At the same time, the phosphate groups in the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane also give the cell membrane surface a negative charge. The culture medium (such as agar, sugar, etc.) remaining at the root of the tissue culture seedlings is usually neutral in the solution. At the same time, the CTAB solution is positively charged. Specifically, CTAB is a cationic surfactant. After dissolving in water, the cationic groups in its molecular structure will give the solution a positive charge. Therefore, the surface of the bubbles in the CTAB solution will be wrapped with positive charges. As the CTAB solution is continuously injected, the bubbles in the CTAB solution will adhere to the surface of the tissue culture seedlings and break. The impact force generated by the bubble breaking will peel off the neutral culture medium and dirt on the tissue culture seedlings, so that the soft-bristle brush 411 can better brush off the culture medium and dirt attached to the tissue culture seedlings, effectively improving the cleaning efficiency and quality of the tissue culture seedlings.

[0046] When the level of the CTAB solution in the cleaning frame approaches the feed port 41, the injection of the CTAB solution is stopped and after the soft brush 411 rotates for a period of time, the waste liquid in the cleaning frame together with the stripped culture medium and dirt is discharged through the discharge pipe 46 by opening the ball valve 47. Then, the ball valve 47 is closed and sterile water is injected into the cleaning frame through the liquid inlet pipe 2 45. As the sterile water is continuously injected, the soft brush 411 is rotated counterclockwise by controlling the motor 3 42 to scrub the tissue culture seedlings (the rotation direction is Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the roots of healthy seedlings in sterile water are naturally facing downward, while the roots of abnormal seedlings are facing upward or floating. During this process, since some bubbles attached to the surface of the tissue culture seedlings may not be broken, these unbroken bubbles will increase the buoyancy of the tissue culture seedlings, causing them to float or face upward. Therefore, the unbroken bubbles attached to the surface of the tissue culture seedlings can be broken by rotating the soft brush 411, so that the healthy tissue culture seedlings can maintain a stable state with their roots facing downward in the water.

[0047] When the sterile water level in the cleaning frame approaches the feed port 41, the gate valve 48 is opened (the square frame port begins to drain water at this time), and the water injection state of the liquid inlet pipe 2 45 and the rotation state of the soft brush 411 are maintained. Since the height of the square frame port corresponds to the height of the tissue culture bottle 2 and the width of the square frame port is 1.2 times the conventional width of the tissue culture seedling, the square frame port only allows one tissue culture seedling to pass through at a time. In addition, as shown in the attached Figure 8 As shown, when the soft brush 411 rotates counterclockwise and stirs the sterile water in the cleaning frame, the swirling direction of the sterile water corresponds to the direction of the outer end of the square frame opening. Therefore, through the swirling of the sterile water and the negative pressure of the drainage from the square frame opening, the tissue culture seedlings in the cleaning frame will be flushed into the discharge trough 49 in sequence.

[0048] Since the discharge chute 49 is installed at the outward end of the square frame near the bottom, and the height of the discharge chute 49 corresponds to the height of the culture medium in the tissue culture bottle 2 (the height of the culture medium in the tissue culture bottle 2 is equivalent to the height of the roots of the tissue culture seedlings in the tissue culture bottle 2), the roots of the tissue culture seedlings with their roots facing downward (i.e., healthy tissue culture seedlings) will enter the discharge chute 49 and slide down into the material receiving box 52. Since the width of the through groove 413 on the discharge chute 49 corresponds to the conventional root diameter of the tissue culture seedlings, and the root width of the conventional tissue culture seedlings is greater than the height of their base, the root width of the healthy tissue culture seedlings that rush into the discharge chute 49 is sufficient to support them to stay in the discharge chute 49, and they will not pass through the through groove 413 located below and fall onto the screen 2 53 in the collection frame. Tissue culture seedlings with unqualified root development will fall from the through groove 413 onto the screen 2 53 due to insufficient root width.

[0049] At the same time, if the tissue culture seedlings with their roots facing upwards (i.e., abnormal tissue culture seedlings) rush into the discharge chute 49, their bases will enter the discharge chute 49. At this time, the roots of the abnormal tissue culture seedlings will be stuck by the upper through grooves 413. Since their roots are located at the top and the weight of the roots of conventional tissue culture seedlings is greater than the weight of the base, the tissue culture seedlings will bend and deform under the action of gravity, thereby escaping from the discharge chute 49 and falling onto the screen 2 53 in the aggregate frame below. If the weight of the roots of the tissue culture seedlings is less than the weight of the base, making it difficult for them to bend and fall, it means that the roots of the tissue culture seedlings are poorly developed. At this time, the tissue culture seedlings will pass directly through the through grooves 413. It falls onto the second screen 53 through the through groove 413 on the discharge trough 49. In addition, since the floating tissue culture seedlings (i.e., abnormal tissue culture seedlings) are not in an upright state, they will not enter the discharge trough 49 when leaving the square frame mouth under the swirling of sterile water and the negative pressure of the square frame mouth drainage, but will be directly flushed out above the discharge trough 49, and then fall onto the second screen 53 in the aggregate frame under the obstruction of the baffle, thereby realizing the automatic screening of the Chinese orchid tissue culture seedlings, so that the abnormal tissue culture seedlings and the tissue culture seedlings with unqualified root development are separated onto the second screen 53, thereby effectively improving the overall survival rate and finished product rate of the Chinese orchid seedlings.

[0050] The wastewater discharged from the square frame mouth will pass through the through groove 413 on the discharge trough 49 and the screen 2 53 in the aggregate frame in turn, and finally enter the discharge pipe 46 through the return pipe 51 to be discharged. The multiple through holes on the receiving box 52 are used to allow the water droplets on the tissue culture seedlings entering it to fall into the aggregate frame and be discharged together with the wastewater. After that, the staff will regularly clean and remove the abnormal tissue culture seedlings and tissue culture seedlings with unqualified root development on the screen 2 53, and carry out corresponding treatment. At the same time, the qualified seedlings will be taken out and transplanted to the planting rack 6 after final disinfection and drying.
