Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plant protection, in particular to a device for observing the growth of rare wild plants. Background Art

[0002] Precise monitoring and regulation of plant growth environments are crucial in botanical research, especially in the conservation and study of rare plants. Traditionally, this work relied primarily on on-site observation, manual data recording, and simple protective measures. With advances in science and technology, a growing number of technologies are being applied to the monitoring and management of plant growth environments, including sensor technology, automatic control systems, and remote monitoring systems. These technologies have significantly improved monitoring accuracy and efficiency, providing new means for scientifically regulating plant growth environments.

[0003] However, most of the relevant equipment or devices currently on the market are designed for agricultural or horticultural scenarios, and it is difficult to meet the special needs of rare plants in the wild, such as high sensitivity to the environment, long observation cycles, and cautious intervention. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a device for observing the growth of rare plants in the wild, which can perform all-round, sustainable and non-destructive dynamic observation of the growth of rare plants during their cultivation.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0006] A device for observing the growth of rare plants in the wild, comprising:

[0007] base;

[0008] A barrel body is movably mounted on the base and supported by the base, and is capable of rotating relative to the base around the axis of the barrel body; the barrel body has a storage space for storing rare wild plants to be observed; and the side wall of the barrel body is a transparent structure;

[0009] A magnifying glass is installed on the side wall of the barrel, and the magnifying direction of the magnifying glass is toward the accommodating space.

[0010] Furthermore, there are multiple magnifying glasses, which are distributed in sequence at intervals along the height direction and along the circumference of the barrel body, and among two adjacent magnifying glasses, the height of the top of the lower one is greater than the height of the bottom of the upper one.

[0011] Furthermore, the magnifying glass is firmly attached to the barrel body by magnetic attraction.

[0012] Furthermore, a stepped through hole is opened on the side wall of the barrel body, the small hole of the stepped through hole is closer to the accommodating space than the large hole of the stepped through hole, and the magnifying glass has a stepped boss, which is adapted to the stepped through hole.

[0013] Furthermore, a side wall of the large hole is provided with a button groove, and the button groove is used to provide an operating space for human fingers.

[0014] Furthermore, a monitoring camera is connected to the top of the barrel body, and the monitoring camera faces the accommodating space.

[0015] Furthermore, an annular slide groove is provided on the top of the barrel body, and the monitoring camera is slidably connected to the annular slide groove through a slider.

[0016] Furthermore, at least two monitoring cameras are provided, and the two monitoring cameras are linked together by an arc rod, and the arc rod is accommodated in the annular slide groove.

[0017] Furthermore, an opening is provided on one side of the barrel body, and the opening passes through the side wall of the barrel body. The opening is used for allowing rare wild plants to enter and exit the accommodating space.

[0018] Furthermore, the base is equipped with a plurality of universal wheels, and the universal wheels are equipped with a braking mechanism.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The barrel body is movably mounted on the base and can rotate around its own axis relative to the base, so that the entire barrel body can be adjusted in position without moving the base, thereby facilitating observation of rare plants in the accommodating space from multiple angles, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and convenience of observation.

[0021] 2. The transparent structure of the side wall of the barrel facilitates the operator to directly observe the growth status of rare plants through vision, thereby improving the observation efficiency and the accuracy of data collection; at the same time, the transparent structure is also conducive to the full entry of external light into the accommodating space, ensuring the normal growth of the plants during the observation period, and is particularly suitable for long-term continuous growth recording of rare plants.

[0022] 3. Since the magnifying glass is installed on the side wall of the barrel and is arranged toward the accommodating space, the key parts of rare plants can be locally magnified and observed without disturbing the natural growth environment of rare plants, thereby improving the observation accuracy and meeting the needs of scientific researchers for detailed research on the morphological changes, growth and development of rare plants.

[0023] 4. The barrel and the magnifying glass are fixed together for coordinated movement, and the barrel can rotate around its axis. Therefore, when the barrel rotates, the magnifying glass also rotates synchronously, enabling continuous tracking and observation of different sides of the plant. This avoids the disadvantage of traditional fixed observation equipment that requires repeated movement or adjustment of the plant position, further improving flexibility of use and non-destructive observation capabilities.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used in this specification are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] See also Figure 1-Figure 3A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a device for observing the growth of rare wild plants, comprising: a base 1, a barrel 2 and a magnifying glass 3; the barrel 2 is movably mounted on the base 1 and supported by the base 1, and can rotate relative to the base 1 around the axis of the barrel 2; the barrel 2 has a accommodating space 21, and the accommodating space 21 is used to accommodate rare wild plants to be observed; the side wall of the barrel 2 is a transparent structure; the magnifying glass 3 is mounted on the side wall of the barrel 2, and the magnifying direction of the magnifying glass 3 is toward the accommodating space 21.

[0032] During use, a rare wild plant is first placed in the storage space 21, and the overall growth status of the plant is initially observed directly through the transparent barrel 2, obtaining clear visual information. When a key part of the plant needs to be observed in detail, the operator can manually rotate the barrel 2 relative to the base 1, allowing the observer to focus the magnifying glass 3 on the desired observation area at the same position and magnify the observation target.

[0033] Since the barrel body 2 is movably mounted on the base 1 and can rotate around its own axis relative to the base 1, the entire barrel body 2 can be adjusted in position without moving the base 1, making it easier to observe the rare plants in the storage space 21 from multiple angles, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and convenience of observation. Since the side wall of the barrel body 2 is a transparent structure, it is convenient for operators to directly observe the growth status of rare plants through vision, thereby improving the efficiency of observation and the accuracy of data collection; at the same time, the transparent structure is also conducive to the full entry of external light into the storage space 21, ensuring the normal growth of plants during the observation period, and is particularly suitable for long-term continuous growth recording of rare plants. Since the magnifying glass 3 is mounted on the side wall of the barrel body 2 and is set toward the storage space 21, it is possible to locally magnify and observe the key parts of rare plants without disturbing the natural growth environment of rare plants, thereby improving the accuracy of observation and meeting the needs of scientific researchers for detailed research on morphological changes, growth and development of rare plants. Because the barrel body 2 and the magnifying glass 3 are fixed together for coordinated movement, and the barrel body 2 can rotate around the axis, when the barrel body 2 rotates, the magnifying glass 3 also rotates synchronously, thereby realizing continuous tracking and observation of different sides of the plant, avoiding the disadvantages of traditional fixed observation equipment that requires repeated movement or adjustment of the plant position, and further improving the flexibility of use and non-destructive observation capabilities.

[0034] Preferably, in this embodiment, multiple magnifying glasses 3 are provided, spaced sequentially along the height and circumference of the barrel 2. The top of the lower magnifying glass 3 of two adjacent magnifying glasses 3 is higher than the bottom of the upper magnifying glass 3. This design ensures that no matter the height of the plant within the barrel or the angle from which the observer observes the plant, it will be covered by at least one magnifying glass 3, effectively eliminating blind spots and significantly improving the comprehensiveness and continuity of observation. Furthermore, instead of having multiple holes in the same circumference of the barrel 2 to accommodate multiple magnifying glasses 3, multiple holes are provided at different circumferences of the barrel 2 to accommodate multiple magnifying glasses 3, thus avoiding a significant weakening of the barrel 2. This arrangement offers two advantages. Furthermore, by staggering the magnifying glasses 3 along the circumference of the barrel 2, sufficient space is left between adjacent magnifying glasses 3, preventing them from blocking or interfering with each other, allowing the installation of magnifying glasses 3 with larger diameters. This structural design effectively increases the visible area of each magnifying glass 3, enhancing the ability to observe details in different parts of the plant. Furthermore, the distribution in both height and circumference allows the operator to observe the plant from multiple angles and levels simply by rotating the barrel 2, eliminating the need to frequently adjust their position or move the entire device, thereby improving observation efficiency and data collection integrity. To facilitate manual rotation of the barrel 2 to adjust the observation angle, one or more handles can be provided on the outside of the barrel 2. By gripping the handles, the operator can easily and smoothly rotate the barrel 2 relative to the base 1, further enhancing flexibility and ease of operation during observation.

[0035] Preferably, in this embodiment, the magnifying glass 3 is magnetically secured to the barrel 2. This mounting structure not only facilitates quick installation and removal, cleaning, or replacement of the magnifying glass 3 with different magnifications based on observation needs, but also ensures that the magnifying glass 3 will not shift due to vibration or contact during use, providing excellent connection stability and safety. Furthermore, the magnetic connection eliminates the need for additional fasteners, simplifying the assembly process and improving the overall ease of operation and maintenance efficiency of the device.

[0036] Preferably, in this embodiment, the sidewall of the barrel body 2 is provided with a stepped through hole 22, wherein the small hole 221 of the stepped through hole 22 is closer to the accommodating space 21 than the large hole 222 of the stepped through hole 22. The magnifying glass 3 has a stepped boss 31 that fits within the stepped through hole 22. This design allows the operator to remove or replace the magnifying glass 3 directly from the side away from the plant, without having to penetrate deeply into the accommodating space 21, thereby effectively avoiding contact or damage to growing rare plants. Furthermore, this structure ensures the stability and convenience of the installation of the magnifying glass 3, balancing safety and practicality.

[0037] Preferably, in this embodiment, a sidewall of the large hole 222 is provided with a snap-action groove 23, which provides space for finger manipulation. When disassembling or adjusting the magnifying glass 3, the operator can insert a finger into the snap-action groove 23 to establish a point of force, enabling quick assembly and disassembly. This structural design avoids operational difficulties caused by a lack of a suitable finger resting position, thereby enhancing the practicality and ease of use of the observation device.

[0038] Preferably, in this embodiment, a monitoring camera 4 is connected to the top of the barrel body 2, and the monitoring camera 4 faces the accommodating space 21. The camera can monitor and record the growth status of the rare plants in the accommodating space 21 in real time, and realize dynamic recording and remote monitoring of the entire growth and development process of rare plants. This not only improves the integrity and accuracy of the observation data, but also provides a reliable image basis for subsequent scientific research and analysis. It greatly improves the observation efficiency and the integrity and timeliness of the data. At the same time, the existence of the monitoring camera 4 and the image data it records can serve as a warning and deterrent, help prevent illegal theft or destruction of rare plants, and provide anti-theft protection.

[0039] Preferably, in this embodiment, an annular chute 24 is provided on the top of the barrel body 2, and the monitoring camera 4 is slidably connected to the annular chute 24 via a slider. The monitoring camera 4 is connected to the annular chute 24 via a slider, which enables the camera to move freely on the top of the barrel body 2. This allows the operator to adjust the position of the camera as needed to obtain the best shooting angle and ensure a comprehensive record of all growth stages of the plant. In particular, when it is necessary to observe the plant from different sides, or to avoid obstructions in the barrel to obtain a better shooting field of view, the viewing angle adjustment can be completed by sliding the camera without moving the entire barrel body 2 or the device base 1, which significantly improves the flexibility of image acquisition and the convenience of operation.

[0040] Preferably, in this embodiment, at least two monitoring cameras 4 are provided, and the two monitoring cameras 4 are linked by an arc-shaped rod 5, which is accommodated in the annular slide 24. This structure enables mechanical linkage between multiple cameras through the arc-shaped rod 5. When the azimuth angle of one camera is adjusted, the angle of the other camera can be changed synchronously, eliminating the need to adjust each camera separately, thereby significantly improving the operational efficiency and angle consistency of multi-angle observation. For example, when the two cameras are fixedly connected by the arc-shaped rod 5 at a relative angle of approximately 180°, they can respectively cover the opposite two sides of the internal storage space 21 of the barrel body 2, achieving full coverage observation of the overall growth status of the plant, effectively avoiding observation blind spots caused by limited viewing angles, and further improving the integrity of image acquisition and the stability of system operation. In addition, this linkage structure is also suitable for application scenarios such as stereo imaging, image stitching, or multi-view modeling, providing researchers with a more accurate and consistent image data foundation, enhancing the practicality and technical scalability of the observation device in scientific observation.

[0041] Preferably, in this embodiment, an opening 6 is provided on one side of the barrel body 2, extending through the sidewall of the barrel body 2. The opening 6 is used to allow rare wild plants to enter and exit the storage space 21. Conventional devices typically use a top or bottom opening method, which is not only inconvenient to operate but also easily causes damage to plant roots or branches and leaves during frequent opening and closing. Especially in complex outdoor environments, this type of opening method may increase the difficulty of plant transportation due to limited operating space, and may even cause plants to fall or suffer mechanical damage. In addition, when conventional devices are opened, they often cause drastic changes in the internal microenvironment, affecting the normal physiological state of the plants and hindering long-term observation and research. Compared with traditional plant observation devices, this opening 6 design presents significant advantages. The design of the opening 6 fully considers the convenience and safety requirements of placing and removing plant samples during actual field operations. By providing a side opening 6, workers can easily place plant samples into the storage space 21 or remove observed plants without having to fully open or flip the entire device, greatly simplifying the operation process and improving work efficiency.

[0042] Preferably, in this embodiment, the base 1 is equipped with multiple universal wheels 7 equipped with a braking mechanism. The universal wheels 7 provide omnidirectional mobility, enabling the observation device to operate easily on various terrains and be conveniently deployed to the growth points of various rare plants, significantly improving the maneuverability and flexibility of field research. By activating the braking mechanism, the universal wheels 7 can be quickly locked after the device reaches the target position, providing stable support. This effectively mitigates the risk of displacement caused by slight unevenness, slopes, or accidental contact, ensuring positional stability during observation and monitoring, and preventing image blur or observation errors caused by device shaking.

[0043] In addition, the wild rare plant production observation device of the present invention also has a very wide expansion space. On the basis of the existing structure, a detachable upper cover can be further added. The upper cover not only serves to seal the accommodating space 21 and protect the plant samples, but also serves as a platform for integrating multiple functional modules to achieve comprehensive monitoring and intelligent regulation of the plant growth environment. Specifically, multiple functional modules including a control device, a detection device and an adjustment device can be set on the upper cover to build a complete environmental intelligent management system. The detection device is composed of a variety of sensors, including but not limited to temperature sensors, humidity sensors, light intensity sensors and carbon dioxide concentration sensors. These sensors are distributed in key positions inside the upper cover or in the accommodating space 21, and can collect environmental parameters in the accommodating space 21 in real time, such as temperature and humidity changes, light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, etc., to provide researchers with accurate data support. The adjustment device is composed of a liquid storage tank, a fan and a nozzle and a controllable light source connected in sequence to form an environmental adjustment system. The liquid storage tank can store nutrient solution or water and is connected to the nozzle via a pipe. A fan is used to promote air circulation and can introduce external air or circulate internal air as needed. The nozzle is arranged on the fan and can evenly spray the atomized liquid onto the plant surface and into the air to regulate humidity, replenish water, or provide nutrients. The controllable light source can adjust the light intensity, color temperature, and photoperiod according to the photosynthetic requirements of rare plants. The control device is electrically connected to the detection device and the adjustment device, and can receive data from the detection device in real time. After analysis and judgment, it issues corresponding control instructions to the adjustment device, such as starting the fan, opening the nozzle, and adjusting the light intensity, thereby achieving closed-loop control of the environment within the storage space 21. These expanded functions enable the observation device to achieve all-weather, high-precision monitoring and dynamic regulation of the plant growth environment. Not only does it help accurately maintain the optimal growth conditions required by plants, but it also provides reliable data support and scientific basis for the study of the physiological characteristics of rare plants, the formulation of ecological and environmental protection strategies, and the in-depth development of related scientific research through long-term data collection and intelligent analysis.
