Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of Ligusticum striatum, and more specifically to a cultivation system for Ligusticum striatum. Background Technology

[0002] Chuanxiong is the dried rhizome of the umbelliferous plant Ligusticum chuanxiong. It is pungent and warm in nature and enters the liver, gallbladder, and pericardium meridians. Its core functions are to invigorate blood circulation, promote qi circulation, dispel wind, and relieve pain. It is known as the "qi-regulating medicine in the blood".

[0003] When planting Ligusticum chuanxiong, after the previous crop is harvested, the soil should be deeply plowed to a depth of 25-30cm, weeds should be removed, and the soil should be burned to make base fertilizer. Apply 1500-2000kg of well-rotted farmyard manure and 100kg of wood ash per mu (667 square meters), harrow and level the soil, and make beds: 1.5-1.8m wide and 25cm deep. Ligusticum chuanxiong seeds are used as propagation material. They are cut from the swollen nodes at the base of the plant stem, with each node having 1-2 buds.

[0004] Place the *Lycium chinense* plants horizontally or diagonally in the furrows, with the buds facing upwards, and cover with a thin layer of soil until the nodes are half exposed. Plant "sealed-end *Lycium chinense*" at both ends of the rows, and add one row of "flat-pole *Lycium chinense*" every 10 rows for future replanting. Remove the weeds half a month after planting, and weed every 20 days for a total of 3-4 times. The best time to harvest is in late May of the following year (from Xiaoman to Mangzhong), when the stems and leaves turn yellow. On a sunny day, dig up the entire plant, remove the fibrous roots and soil, and harvest the *Ligusticum chuanxiong*.

[0005] However, current planting methods rely on manual sowing. When sowing manually, it is necessary to confirm the position of the bud opening of the Ligusticum striatum. If the bud opening of the Ligusticum striatum is planted in the wrong direction, it will affect the germination.

[0006] Meanwhile, the sowing depth relies on the experience of workers, which is not only inefficient but also costly. If the sowing depth is too deep, germination will be slow, and if the sowing depth is too shallow, germination will be difficult.

[0007] Therefore, a system for cultivating Ligusticum chuanxiong is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0008] One object of the present invention is to provide a planting system for Ligusticum chuanxiong, which uses a sowing component and an identification component to position the end of the Ligusticum chuanxiong seed with the bud at the top and insert the end without the bud into the soil. The system ensures the depth and direction of insertion, thereby improving planting efficiency.

[0009] This objective is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0010] A planting system for Ligusticum chuanxiong includes a moving module, a sowing component, an identification component, a first adjustment module, a second adjustment module, and a third adjustment module;

[0011] The sowing component includes a fixing plate with a through groove and an opening component. The opening on the opening component is either a first opening size or a second opening size. When the opening on the opening component is the first opening size, the inner diameter of the opening is larger than the outer diameter of the node plate of the Sichuan lovage rhizome. When the opening on the opening component is the second opening size, the opening component is used to clamp one end of the Sichuan lovage rhizome.

[0012] The moving module is used to move the fixing plate in the planting area; the identification component is used to identify whether the end of the opening on the opening component that holds the Sichuan lovage and lingzhi has a bud; the first adjustment module is used to adjust the direction of the fixing plate so that the upper or lower end face of the fixing plate faces upward; the second adjustment module is used to obtain the position of the opening on the opening component so that the position of the opening corresponds to the planting area; the third adjustment module is used to adjust the height of the fixing plate so that the length of the Sichuan lovage and lingzhi entering the planting area is a first threshold or a second threshold.

[0013] When using this system, the moving module moves the fixed plate to the planting area where Ligusticum chuanxiong and Poria cocos need to be planted. The Ligusticum chuanxiong and Poria cocos fall onto the opening component on the fixed plate. The opening size of the opening component is adjusted so that it is larger than the second opening size but smaller than the first opening size. One end of the Ligusticum chuanxiong and Poria cocos enters the opening, and the segment of the Ligusticum chuanxiong and Poria cocos is located above the opening component. The opening of the opening component is adjusted to the second opening size, and the opening component clamps the end of the Ligusticum chuanxiong and Poria cocos located below the opening component.

[0014] The identification component includes a camera. After the opening component clamps the Sichuan lovage rhizome, the camera acquires an image of the Sichuan lovage rhizome at the opening on the opening component. If the image of the Sichuan lovage rhizome at the opening on the opening component does not show a bud, then the end of the opening that clamps the Sichuan lovage rhizome has a bud, meaning that the bud is located at the lower end of the node plate. Therefore, the first adjustment module adjusts the direction of the fixing plate so that the lower end of the fixing plate faces upwards, the second adjustment module aligns the position of the opening with the planting area, and the third adjustment module adjusts the height of the fixing plate so that the depth of the Sichuan lovage rhizome clamped by the opening component in the planting area is a second threshold. This system inserts the end of the Sichuan lovage rhizome without a bud into the planting area.

[0015] If the image of the *Ligusticum chuanxiong* seed at the opening of the opening component shows a bud, then when the end of the *Ligusticum chuanxiong* seed held by the opening does not have a bud, the third adjustment module adjusts the height of the fixing plate so that the length of the *Ligusticum chuanxiong* seed entering the planting area is a first threshold for initial positioning. Then, after adjusting the opening on the opening component to the first opening size, the third adjustment module adjusts the height of the fixing plate so that the opening on the opening component passes through the node plate of the *Ligusticum chuanxiong* seed at the upper end. The opening on the opening component is then adjusted to the second opening size, and the opening on the opening component holds the other end of the *Ligusticum chuanxiong* seed, i.e., the opening of the opening component holds the end with the bud. The third adjustment module adjusts the height of the fixing plate so that the depth of the *Ligusticum chuanxiong* seed held by the opening component in the planting area is a second threshold, and the end of the *Ligusticum chuanxiong* seed without a bud is inserted into the planting area. Preferably, the size of the first threshold is one-quarter of the size of the second threshold.

[0016] Furthermore, before the Sichuan lovage rhizome falls onto the opening assembly on the fixed plate, the opening of the opening assembly is adjusted to close. The Sichuan lovage rhizome falls onto the opening assembly on the fixed plate, and the camera of the recognition component performs image enhancement processing on the image of the opening, i.e., it captures an image of the Sichuan lovage rhizome on the opening assembly. The recognition component also includes an integrity check module, which is used to determine whether the Sichuan lovage rhizome is intact based on the image of the opened Sichuan lovage rhizome. If the Sichuan lovage rhizome is incomplete, the opening on the opening assembly is set to the first opening size, and the Sichuan lovage rhizome is discharged.

[0017] The integrity check module is used to obtain the bud opening status and the outer diameter of the node disc based on the image of the open Ligusticum striatum. It then determines the health status of the Ligusticum striatum based on these parameters. If the status is unhealthy, the Ligusticum striatum is discharged. If the status is healthy, the opening size of the opening component is adjusted so that it is larger than the second opening size but smaller than the first opening size. One end of the Ligusticum striatum enters the opening, with the node disc positioned above the opening component. The opening size of the opening component is then adjusted to the second opening size, and the opening component clamps the lower end of the Ligusticum striatum.

[0018] The camera of the recognition component performs image enhancement processing on the image of the opening, that is, it takes an image of the Sichuan lovage and lingzhi on the opening component, and obtains whether there is a bud in the image of the opening by color comparison. If there is no bud in the image of the opening, then the end of the opening that holds the Sichuan lovage and lingzhi has a bud.

[0019] Furthermore, the moving module includes a first support plate located in the ditch on the side of the Ligusticum chuanxiong planting area. An adjusting column is provided on the first support plate, and a fixed plate is connected to the adjusting column. The second adjusting module is used to obtain the position of the opening on the opening component and drive the adjusting column to rotate circumferentially so that the position of the opening corresponds to the planting area.

[0020] Compared to existing planting systems, this system ensures that the bud-bearing end is positioned at the top. During planting, the telescopic section extends and retracts, causing the fixing plate to move downwards, thus planting one end of the Sichuan lovage root in the soil and ensuring the correct planting depth. Compared to manual planting, this system ensures both planting depth and orientation, thereby improving planting efficiency.

[0021] The system's fixing plate is located on the planting area of ​​Ligusticum striatum. The opening component on the fixing plate simulates the operator's hand, which clamps the Ligusticum striatum seeds through the opening of the opening component. The position of the bud is obtained through the recognition component, and the direction of the bud is adjusted by the first rotating component. The Ligusticum striatum seeds are placed in the corresponding planting area by the second rotating component.

[0022] The moving module also includes a second support plate. The first and second support plates are located in the ditches on both sides of the Sichuan lovage planting area. The first and second support plates are connected by a connecting rod located above the Sichuan lovage planting area. Both the first and second support plates are equipped with moving wheels.

[0023] The connecting rod is equipped with a feeding chamber, and the feeding chamber is equipped with a conveying pipe for conveying individual Ligusticum chuanxiong and Poria cocos to the opening.

[0024] The second support plate is provided with a first storage cavity and a second storage cavity. The first storage cavity is provided with a first spray pipe for spraying base fertilizer, and the second storage cavity is provided with a second spray pipe for spraying sealing agent.

[0025] Before planting, first spray base fertilizer on the planting area, then spray a sealing agent, and then plant the Sichuan lovage rhizome.

[0026] This system tests the Sichuan lovage rhizome before planting, eliminating unhealthy ones and further improving planting efficiency.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0028] This invention discloses a planting system for Ligusticum chuanxiong. The propagation of Ligusticum chuanxiong requires ensuring that the buds are planted facing upwards. This system identifies the direction of the buds and flips the fixing plate to avoid inversion errors that may occur during manual operation, ensuring that the buds can successfully break through the soil and reducing the problem of missing seedlings caused by ineffective planting.

[0029] This system allows for stable planting depth control at approximately 6 cm (covered with fine soil), preventing bud drying due to shallow planting or bud rot caused by oxygen deficiency due to excessive depth. Consistent planting depth ensures synchronized seedling growth, facilitating unified management later (such as fertilization and weeding). Compared to existing manual planting methods, this system's precise directional planting eliminates the need for replanting, saving on seedling and manual replanting costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] This system includes a moving module, a seeding component, an identification component, a first adjustment module, a second adjustment module, and a third adjustment module. The seeding component includes a fixed plate 1 with a through groove and an opening component. The opening on the opening component is either a first opening size, a second opening size, or the opening is closed.

[0044] The identification component is used to identify whether the end of the opening on the opening component that holds the Sichuan lovage root has a bud; the first adjustment module is used to adjust the direction of the fixing plate 1 so that the upper or lower end face of the fixing plate 1 faces upward; the second adjustment module is used to obtain the position of the opening on the opening component so that the position of the opening corresponds to the planting area; the third adjustment module is used to adjust the height of the fixing plate 1 so that the length of the Sichuan lovage root entering the planting area is a first threshold or a second threshold.

[0045] When in use, the moving module moves the system so that the fixed plate 1 is located on the planting area of ​​Ligusticum chuanxiong and Poria cocos. In the original state, the opening on the opening component is closed, and a single Ligusticum chuanxiong and Poria cocos enters the opening position of the opening component.

[0046] During the process of a single Ligusticum chuanxiong seed entering the opening position of the opening component, the opening of the opening component is either the second or third opening size. The third opening size is smaller than the outer diameter of the node plate of the Ligusticum chuanxiong seed and larger than the outer diameter of one end of the Ligusticum chuanxiong seed. Therefore, one end of the single Ligusticum chuanxiong seed enters the opening of the opening component, and at the same time, the opening of the opening component is adjusted to the second opening size. The opening component is used to hold one end of the Ligusticum chuanxiong seed. The recognition component includes a camera, which is used to acquire an image of the Ligusticum chuanxiong seed at the opening of the opening component. The recognition component performs image enhancement processing on the image of the opening. Through color comparison in the image, specifically, the RGB image is converted to the HSI / Lab color space (Lab is preferred), and brightness and color information are separated. The Lab space has a more uniform color difference perception and is more suitable for the color analysis of medicinal materials. The bud opening is often light brown or slightly reddish, forming a color difference with the dark brown body of the Ligusticum chuanxiong seed. Separating the color channels can enhance this difference. Based on the enhanced color channels, a threshold is set to extract the bud opening area. For example, set the H channel threshold in the HSV space (e.g., 30°~90° for the green range), combine morphological operations (opening and closing operations) to remove noise, use the Canny or Sobel operator to detect edges, and combine connected component analysis to locate the bud opening contour.

[0047] If the image of the bud opening is not extracted from the image of the chuanxiong and lingzi at the opening, such as Figure 1 As shown, the opening component clamps the end of the Ligusticum striatum with a bud opening. The first adjustment module adjusts the direction of the fixing plate 1 so that the lower end of the fixing plate 1 faces upward, that is, the node plate of the Ligusticum striatum is located below the opening component. The second adjustment module makes the position of the opening correspond to the planting area. The third adjustment module adjusts the height of the fixing plate 1 so that the depth of the Ligusticum striatum clamped by the opening component in the planting area is the second threshold. Then, the end of the Ligusticum striatum without a bud opening is inserted into the soil.

[0048] When the image of the bud opening is extracted from the image of the chuanxiong and lingzi at the opening, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the end of the opening component that holds the Sichuan lovage rhizome does not have a bud. The third adjustment module adjusts the height of the fixing plate 1 so that the length of the Sichuan lovage rhizome in the planting area is the first threshold, that is, the lower part of the Sichuan lovage rhizome is inserted into the soil. Then, after adjusting the opening on the opening component to the first opening size, the third adjustment module adjusts the height of the fixing plate 1 so that the opening on the opening component passes through the node plate of the Sichuan lovage rhizome at the top. The opening on the opening component is then adjusted to the second opening size, and the other end of the Sichuan lovage rhizome is held by the opening component. Finally, the third adjustment module adjusts the height of the fixing plate 1 so that the depth of the Sichuan lovage rhizome held by the opening component in the planting area is the second threshold, that is, the Sichuan lovage rhizome is further inserted into the soil.

[0049] In some embodiments, the size of the first threshold is one-quarter of the size of the second threshold.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] Based on Embodiment 1, the identification component further includes an integrity check module. The integrity check module is used to determine whether the Sichuan lovage rhizome is intact based on the image of the open Sichuan lovage rhizome. If the Sichuan lovage rhizome is not intact, the opening on the opening component is the size of the first opening, and the Sichuan lovage rhizome is discharged.

[0052] Meanwhile, the integrity check module is used to obtain the bud opening status and the outer diameter of the node plate based on the image of the open Ligusticum striatum, and to obtain the health status of the Ligusticum striatum based on the bud opening status and the outer diameter of the node plate. If the status is unhealthy, the Ligusticum striatum is discharged.

[0053] Specifically, before a single Ligusticum chuanxiong seed enters the opening position of the opening component, the opening of the opening component is either closed or the opening of the opening component is a fourth opening size, wherein the fourth opening size is smaller than the outer diameter of one end of the Ligusticum chuanxiong seed.

[0054] At this time, when a single Ligusticum chuanxiong and Poria cocos seed enters the opening position of the opening component, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first image shows the camera capturing an image of an open Ligusticum striatum seed.

[0055] The integrity check module extracts the outline of Ligusticum striatum and Poria cocos using an image edge detection algorithm (such as the Canny operator), and extracts the outlines of the nodes and buds of Ligusticum striatum. The edge detection algorithm identifies whether the outline of Ligusticum striatum and Poria cocos is continuous and whether the color is uniform (normally light yellowish-brown), avoiding dark patches or empty areas. If the outline is continuous and the color is uniform, the Ligusticum striatum is complete; otherwise, the Ligusticum striatum is incomplete. The opening on the opening component is adjusted to the first opening size, and the Ligusticum striatum is discharged from the opening component. A new single Ligusticum striatum is then introduced, and the above operation is repeated.

[0056] When the *Ligusticum striatum* is intact, the integrity check module uses a color recognition algorithm to determine whether the surface of the *Ligusticum striatum* has brown patches or black rotten spots based on the image of the opened *Ligusticum striatum*. It then extracts the outline of the *Ligusticum striatum* using an image edge detection algorithm (such as the Canny operator) and extracts the outline of the segmental discs. The outer diameter of the segmental discs is then determined. If the outer diameter is greater than or equal to a threshold, and the surface of the *Ligusticum striatum* does not have brown patches or black rotten spots, the condition is considered healthy. One end of a single *Ligusticum striatum* enters the opening of the opening component, and the opening of the opening component is adjusted to the second opening size. The opening component is used to hold one end of the *Ligusticum striatum*. Conversely, if the condition is unhealthy, the opening of the opening component is adjusted to the first opening size, and the *Ligusticum striatum* is discharged from the opening component. A new single *Ligusticum striatum* is then introduced, and the above operation is repeated.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the moving module includes a first support plate 25 located in the ditch on the side of the Ligusticum chuanxiong planting area. An adjustment column 14 is provided on the first support plate 25. The fixed plate 1 is connected to the adjustment column 14. The second adjustment module is used to obtain the position of the opening on the opening assembly and drive the adjustment column 14 to rotate circumferentially so that the position of the opening corresponds to the planting area.

[0059] The moving module also includes a second support plate. The first support plate 25 and the second support plate are located at the ditches on both sides of the Ligusticum chuanxiong planting area, respectively. The first support plate 25 and the second support plate are connected by a connecting rod 28, which is located above the Ligusticum chuanxiong planting area. Both the first support plate 25 and the second support plate are equipped with casters. The second support plate is provided with a first storage cavity 27 and a second storage cavity 26. The first storage cavity 27 is provided with a first spray pipe 271 for spraying base fertilizer, and the second storage cavity 26 is provided with a second spray pipe 261 for spraying sealing agent.

[0060] The connecting rod 28 is provided with a feeding chamber 29, and the feeding chamber 29 is provided with a conveying pipe 291 for conveying individual Ligusticum chuanxiong and Poria cocos to the opening. The identification component is provided on the connecting rod 28.

[0061] Example 4

[0062] Based on the above embodiments, the first adjustment module, the second adjustment module, and the third adjustment module can have various structures, as long as the first adjustment module can adjust the direction of the fixing plate 1 to make the fixing plate 1 flip, the second adjustment module can drive the fixing plate 1 to move so that the position of the opening corresponds to the planting area, and the third adjustment module can adjust the height of the fixing plate 1.

[0063] In some embodiments, the inventors have preferred a structure, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the adjusting column 14 is provided with a first bracket 15, and a second bracket 16 is vertically connected to the first bracket 15. The second bracket 16 is connected to the fixing plate 1. The adjusting column 14 is provided with a telescopic section, which is used to move one end of the Sichuan lovage and lingzhi plant into the planting area. The third adjusting module is used to adjust the length of the telescopic section, thereby adjusting the height of the fixing plate 1.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, the adjusting column 14 is provided with a first rotating component and a second rotating component. The second rotating component is used to drive the adjusting column 14 to rotate circumferentially, and the second adjusting module is used to adjust the second rotating component so that the adjusting column 14 rotates circumferentially, thereby driving the fixed plate 1 to move.

[0065] The first adjustment module adjusts the first rotating component, which is used to drive the fixed plate 1 to rotate around the first bracket 15 as the axis, so that the upper or lower end face of the fixed plate 1 faces upward.

[0066] Specifically, a first gear 20 is connected to the adjusting column 14, and a second gear 21 that meshes with the first gear 20 is provided on the first support plate 25. A first rotating shaft 24 is provided on the second gear 21, and one end of the first rotating shaft 24 is connected to the first support plate 25. The first rotating shaft 24 drives the second gear 21 to rotate circumferentially, and the rotation of the second gear 21 drives the adjusting column 14 to rotate circumferentially.

[0067] The first rotating assembly includes a third gear 17 connected to the first bracket 15. When the third gear 17 rotates circumferentially, it drives the first bracket 15 to rotate circumferentially. A fourth gear 18 is provided on the adjusting column 14. The fourth gear 18 can rotate circumferentially on the adjusting column 14. A fifth gear 19 is provided on the fourth gear 18. When the fifth gear 19 rotates circumferentially, it drives the fourth gear 18 to rotate circumferentially. A sixth gear 22 is provided on the first support plate 25, meshing with the fifth gear 19. A second rotating shaft 23 is provided on the sixth gear 22. One end of the second rotating shaft 23 is connected to the first support plate 25. When the second rotating shaft 23 rotates circumferentially, it drives the sixth gear 22 to rotate circumferentially. The rotation of the sixth gear 22 causes the fixed plate 1 to rotate about the first bracket 15 as the axis.

[0068] Example 5

[0069] Based on the above embodiments, the opening component can have various structures, as long as it can adjust the size of the opening of the opening component. This component can be implemented through various structures.

[0070] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, a first movable plate 3 and a second movable plate 4 are respectively provided on both sides of the fixed plate 1. A first slider 5 is provided on the first movable plate 3, and a second slider 6 is provided on the second movable plate 4. One end of the first slider 5 and the second slider 6 are both located in the through groove, and the first slider 5 and the second slider 6 are parallel to each other.

[0071] The opening assembly includes a third slider 10, a fourth slider 9, a fifth slider 8, and a sixth slider 7 disposed in the through groove. One end of the first slider 5, the third slider 10, the fourth slider 9, the second slider 6, the fifth slider 8, and the sixth slider 7 are in sequential contact with each other and form an opening.

[0072] An adjustment mechanism is provided on the fixed plate 1. The adjustment mechanism is used to drive the first moving plate 3 and the second moving plate 4 to move in opposite directions on both sides of the fixed plate 1. The first moving plate 3 and the second moving plate 4 move in opposite directions on both sides of the fixed plate 1 so that the third slider 10, the fourth slider 9, the fifth slider 8 and the sixth slider 7 slide in the through groove so that the opening is the size of the first opening or the size of the second opening.

[0073] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism includes a rotating gear 13 disposed on a fixed plate 1, and a first gear plate 12 and a second gear plate 11 disposed on a first moving plate 3 and a second moving plate 4, respectively. The first gear plate 12 and the second gear plate 11 are located on both sides of the rotating gear 13 and are both meshed with the rotating gear 13.

[0074] The through groove is provided with four sliding grooves corresponding to the third slider 10, the fourth slider 9, the fifth slider 8, and the sixth slider 7, respectively. The first moving plate 3 and the second moving plate 4 move in opposite directions on both sides of the fixed plate 1, causing the third slider 10, the fourth slider 9, the fifth slider 8, and the sixth slider 7 to slide along the corresponding sliding grooves in the through groove, so that the opening is the size of the first opening or the second opening. One end of the first slider 5, the third slider 10, the fourth slider 9, the second slider 6, the fifth slider 8, and the sixth slider 7 is provided with a rubber layer.

[0075] The first slider 5, the third slider 10, the fourth slider 9, the second slider 6, the fifth slider 8, and the sixth slider 7 form an opening at one end. The size of the opening can be adjusted by moving the first slider 5, the third slider 10, the fourth slider 9, the second slider 6, the fifth slider 8, and the sixth slider 7 in sequence.

[0076] Therefore, when the rotating gear 13 rotates, it drives the first moving plate 3 and the second moving plate 4 to move relative to each other. During the movement of the first moving plate 3 and the second moving plate 4, it drives the first slider 5 and the second slider 6 to move relative to each other, thereby causing the sixth slider 7, the fifth slider 8, the fourth slider 9 and the third slider 10 to move in sequence, adjusting the size of the opening formed by one end of the first slider 5, the third slider 10, the fourth slider 9, the second slider 6, the fifth slider 8 and the sixth slider 7.

[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first slider 5, the third slider 10, the fourth slider 9, the second slider 6, the fifth slider 8 and the sixth slider 7 are all provided with a groove 2 at one end of the opening. When the opening formed by the first slider 5, the third slider 10, the fourth slider 9, the second slider 6, the fifth slider 8 and the sixth slider 7 are closed, the groove forms a circle.

[0078] The size of the opening is adjusted by moving the first movable plate 3 and the second movable plate 4 relative to each other. This allows for the adjustment of the positions of the first slider 5, the third slider 10, the fourth slider 9, the second slider 6, the fifth slider 8, and the sixth slider 7.
