Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of molecular breeding technology, and in particular to a seed slice sampling device. Background Art

[0002] Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) technology uses molecular markers to track genes or gene segments related to target traits, assisting in the selection of individuals with excellent traits. It greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of breeding, shortens the breeding cycle, and has become an important part of the plant breeding system.

[0003] Crop sampling is a key step in marker-assisted breeding. However, traditional sampling methods are inefficient, time-consuming, and error-prone, hindering the further development of marker-assisted breeding. Therefore, achieving accurate and efficient crop sampling has become a pressing technical challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a seed slicing sampling device to achieve accurate and efficient sampling of crop samples.

[0005] An embodiment of the present application provides a seed slicing sampling device, comprising a rotating mechanism, a sampling mechanism, and a disengaging mechanism. The rotating mechanism comprises a rotating body and a placement position arranged on the periphery of the rotating body. The rotating body is configured to rotate around a rotating axis so that the placement position moves along a preset path. The sampling mechanism and the disengaging mechanism are sequentially arranged along the movement path of the placement position. The placement position is used to place a seed sample. The sampling mechanism is configured to slice and sample the seed sample placed in the placement position. The disengaging mechanism is configured to disengage the sampled seed sample from the placement position.

[0006] In some embodiments, the placement position has a bearing surface, the bearing surface is provided with an opening, and the opening is connected to the negative pressure generating device through a pipeline.

[0007] In some embodiments, the disengagement mechanism includes a gas generating unit and / or a disturbance unit. The gas generating unit is configured to generate an airflow at a predetermined flow rate toward the placement location to disengage the sampled seed sample from the placement location. The disturbance unit is configured to apply a force to the sampled seed sample via a predetermined disturbance portion to disengage the sampled seed sample from the placement location.

[0008] In some embodiments, the seed slice sampling device further includes a base, with the rotating body rotatably mounted on the base. The base is provided with a first dropout opening and a second dropout opening. The sample slices obtained by the sampling mechanism from the seed sample drop through the first dropout opening to below the base. The sampled seed sample is then released from its storage position by the release mechanism and drops through the second dropout opening to below the base.

[0009] In some embodiments, the seed slice sampling device further includes a collecting mechanism disposed below the base for collecting sample slices that fall below the base through the first drop opening and / or sampled seed samples that fall below the base through the second drop opening.

[0010] In some embodiments, the collection mechanism includes a carrying unit and a driving unit. The carrying unit is used to carry the first storage element and / or the second storage element, the first storage element is configured to store sample slices dropped from the first drop port, and the second storage element is configured to store seed samples dropped from the second drop port after sampling. The driving unit is used to connect the carrying unit and drive the carrying unit to move along the first direction and the second direction to move the first storage element and / or the second storage element to a preset position. The preset position corresponding to the first storage element is located below the first drop port, and the preset position corresponding to the second storage element is located below the second drop port. The first direction, the second direction and the axis direction of the rotating shaft of the rotating mechanism are perpendicular to each other.

[0011] In some embodiments, the carrying unit includes a first carrying member and a second carrying member. The first carrying member is configured to carry the first storage element. The second carrying member is configured to carry the second storage element. The driving unit is configured to drive the first carrying member and the second carrying member to move in a first direction and a second direction, respectively.

[0012] In some embodiments, the seed chip sampling device further includes a first limiting mechanism for limiting the movement range of the sampled seed sample to within a preset space until the sample falls to the second drop opening after the sampled seed sample is released from the placement position by the separation mechanism.

[0013] In some embodiments, the seed chip sampling device further comprises a detection mechanism for detecting whether the placement position reaches the separation mechanism and / or the sampling mechanism.

[0014] In some embodiments, a plurality of placement positions are equidistantly arranged on the periphery of the rotating body, and each placement position passes through the sampling mechanism and the separation mechanism in sequence. When any placement position reaches the separation mechanism, the next placement position adjacent to the placement position reaches the sampling mechanism.

[0015] In the above-mentioned seed slice sampling device, the seed slice sampling device includes at least a rotation mechanism and a sampling mechanism. By configuring the rotation mechanism to include a rotating body and a placement position disposed on the periphery of the rotating body, the placement position can be moved by rotation driven by the rotating body. Furthermore, because the sampling mechanism and the separation mechanism are sequentially disposed along the motion path of the placement position, the seed sample on the placement position can be processed in coordination with the motion path of the placement position. Thus, the seed slice sampling device provided in the embodiments of the present application can achieve accurate and efficient sampling of crop samples.

[0053] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the front view of the seed slice sampling device 100 in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the seed slice sampling device 100 in some embodiments of the present application after removing part of the structure. Figure 3 for Figure 2The schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the seed slice sampling device 100 after removing part of the structure is shown. Figure 4 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a seed chip sampling device 100 in some embodiments of the present application with a portion of the structure removed. The embodiments of the present application provide a seed chip sampling device 100 including a rotating mechanism 110 , a sampling mechanism 120 and a separation mechanism 130 .

[0054] The rotating mechanism 110 includes a rotating body 111 and a placement position 112 provided on the periphery of the rotating body 111. Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the rotating body 111 and the placement position 112 in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 6 This is a schematic top view of the structure of the rotating body 111 and the placement position 112 in some embodiments of the present application. The rotating body 111 is configured to rotate about a rotation axis L, so that the placement position moves along a preset path. The sampling mechanism 120 and the separation mechanism 130 are arranged in sequence along the movement path of the placement position 112. The placement position 112 is used to place seed samples. The sampling mechanism 120 is configured to slice and sample the seed sample placed in the placement position 112. The separation mechanism 130 is configured to remove the sampled seed sample from the placement position 112.

[0055] The rotating body 111 is the main component used to drive the placement position 112 to rotate. The rotating body 111 can be a component with a certain shape and structure, such as a disc, a cylinder or other geometric shapes. In addition, a number of hollow holes can be provided on the rotating body 111. The rotating body 111 can be driven by a power source to perform circular motion around the rotation axis L, thereby driving the placement position 112 installed on the rotating body 111 to rotate together, thereby realizing the switching of the workstations. It should be noted that the rotation axis L is used to describe the characteristics of the rotation of the rotating body 111. In the seed slice sampling device 100, a rotation axis structure may be provided, or a rotation axis structure may not be provided, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0056] For example, Figure 4 and Figure 5For example, the axial direction of the rotating shaft L of the rotating body 111 can be parallel to the vertical direction G. Of course, the axial direction of the rotating shaft L of the rotating body 111 can also be set at an angle to the vertical direction G, and no specific restrictions are made here. It can be understood that when the axial direction of the rotating shaft L of the rotating body 111 is parallel to the vertical direction G, the sample slices generated from the seed sample and the seed sample after sampling can fall under the action of gravity, which is conducive to improving the processing efficiency of the seed sample. At the same time, in this process, since the rotating shaft L around which the rotating body 111 is rotated is parallel to the vertical direction G, the rotating body 111 can drive the placement position 112 to move more stably and more accurately. Among them, the sample slices can be in the form of sheets or not, which is determined according to the corresponding seed sample and the required slices, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0057] The “placing position 112 ” refers to a position provided on the periphery of the rotating body 111 for placing a seed sample.

[0058] For example, the placement position 112 can be configured to be able to adsorb or desorb seed samples. The seed sample can be adsorbed by generating negative pressure, and when exposed to negative pressure, the placement position 112 can desorb the seed sample. "Desorption" is relative to "adsorption". "Desorption" means that the placement position 112 does not generate an adsorption force acting on the seed sample. At this time, the seed sample can be separated from the placement position 112. Among them, the seeds include at least one of corn seeds, soybean seeds, and wheat seeds, which are not specifically limited here. For another example, the placement position 112 can also be configured to fix the seed sample by clamping, groove positioning, adhesive fixing, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0059] There can be one or more placement positions 112, which is not specifically limited here. Figure 5 and Figure 6 A placement position 112 is shown schematically. In the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of placement positions 112 may be provided on the periphery of the rotating body 111, so that continuous seed sample processing can be achieved.

[0060] The preset path is a predetermined trajectory that the placement position 112 follows during the rotation of the rotating body 111. The preset path is determined by factors such as the structure of the rotating body 111 and the position of the rotation axis L. For example, the preset path can be a circular path, an arc or partial circular path, or a composite path. A composite path can be a combination of circular and linear motion. This is not a specific limitation.

[0061] Taking the preset path as a circular path as an example, the motion path of the placement position 112 is described. Figures 4 to 6For example, the peripheral edge of the rotating body 111 is generally circular in shape, and the placement position 112 moves along a circular path driven by the rotating body 111. Multiple workstations can be set along the movement path of the placement position 112. A workstation refers to an area divided for completing corresponding operations during the processing of seed samples. It is understood that there may be no obvious structural boundaries between the workstations, or relevant structures may be used as boundaries to distinguish them, and no specific limitation is given here.

[0062] The plurality of stations include at least a sampling station S1 and a separation station S2. The sampling station S1 is an area for sampling the seed sample placed in the placement position 112. When the rotating body 111 rotates the placement position 112 to the sampling station S1, the sampling mechanism 120 is used to slice and sample the seed sample placed in the placement position 112. The separation station S2 is an area for performing an operation to separate the sampled seed sample from the placement position 112. The detached sampled seed sample can be collected by relevant collecting components. Of course, the plurality of stations may also include other stations such as the loading station S3, which are not specifically limited here.

[0063] When the preset path is a circular path, the workstations can also be arranged roughly according to the circular path. Figure 4 For example, the placement position 112 is disposed on the circumference of the rotating body 111 , and the sampling station S1 and the separation station S2 are substantially disposed around the circumference of the rotating body 111 .

[0064] The sampling mechanism 120 is used to obtain a slice sample from the seed sample placed in the placement position 112 for subsequent observation, detection, analysis, and other operations. The sampling method of the sampling mechanism 120 can include mechanical cutting, laser cutting, stamping, or a composite method, and is not specifically limited here. It should be noted that in some embodiments, combined with the contents illustrated in some of the aforementioned embodiments, the relevant components of the sampling mechanism 120 can be located at the sampling station S1, or can be configured to be movable to the sampling station S1, and is not specifically limited here.

[0065] Exemplarily, the sampling mechanism 120 may include a laser head 121. The laser head 121 is used to generate and emit a laser beam to achieve slicing sampling of seed samples. Figure 2 and Figure 3 For example, the laser head 121 is shown positioned above the placement position 112. At this point, the laser head 121 cuts the seed sample from above. It should be noted that the laser head 121 can be positioned at the sampling station S1 or can be moved to the sampling station S1, without any specific limitation.

[0066] For example, a visual recognition component can be installed at sampling station S1, and laser head 121 can cut the seed sample in response to the seed sample information detected by the visual recognition component. Accordingly, laser head 121 is configured to be movable, so that its position can be adjusted according to cutting requirements. Furthermore, a fan 201 can be provided to remove smoke and dust generated during cutting.

[0067] It can be understood that, compared to the other cutting methods mentioned above, using laser head 121 to cut seed samples can reduce the force required to fix the seed samples and improve the possibility of cross-contamination between different seeds. Simultaneously, using placement position 112 to adsorb and fix the seed samples can alleviate the limitations of mechanical clamping methods that require a high consistency in the appearance of the seed samples. Therefore, the difficulty in clamping the seed samples in cutting methods can be alleviated, making it easier to sample the seed samples.

[0068] The disengagement mechanism 130 is a mechanism for realizing the disengagement of the seed sample after sampling from the placement position 112. The disengagement mechanism 130 can complete the disengagement operation by certain mechanical actions, power drive or control methods. For example, the disengagement mechanism 130 may include a pusher, which pushes the seed sample after sampling so that the seed sample after sampling leaves its original position. For another example, the disengagement mechanism 130 may include a mechanical arm and a clamp located at the end of the mechanical arm, which can disengage the seed sample after sampling from the placement position 112 by grabbing, removing and releasing. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, in combination with the contents illustrated in some of the aforementioned embodiments, the relevant components of the disengagement mechanism 130 can be located at the disengagement station S2, or can be set to be able to move to the disengagement station S2, without specific limitation herein. In this way, by arranging the disengagement mechanism 130, the speed of seed sample processing can be accelerated, thereby improving the efficiency of seed sample processing.

[0069] Thus, by configuring the rotating mechanism 110 to include a rotating body 111 and a placement position 112 disposed on the periphery of the rotating body 111, the placement position 112 can be moved by rotation driven by the rotating body 111. Furthermore, since the sampling mechanism 120 and the separation mechanism 130 are sequentially disposed along the motion path of the placement position 112, the seed sample on the placement position can be processed in coordination with the motion path of the placement position 112. Therefore, the seed slice sampling device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can achieve accurate and efficient sampling of crop samples.

[0070] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , and combined with reference Figure 7 , Figure 7for Figure 5 In the partially enlarged structural diagram at A1, the placement position 112 has a bearing surface m, and an opening x is provided on the bearing surface m. The opening x is connected to the negative pressure generating device through a pipeline.

[0071] The opening x is a portion of the placement position 112 that implements the adsorption function. Adsorption force is generated by related components to adsorb the seed sample onto the placement position 112. For example, the negative pressure generating device may include a vacuum system, and the opening x may be connected to the vacuum channel of the vacuum system. When the vacuum system is activated, the air within the opening x is extracted, creating a negative pressure environment. This allows the external atmospheric pressure to adsorb the seed sample onto the placement position 112, thereby achieving adsorption of the seed sample. It will be understood that the opening of the opening x is smaller than the size of the seed sample.

[0072] In this way, the seed samples are adsorbed by generating negative pressure, which not only has a strong adsorption force but also reduces damage to the surface of the seed samples, thereby being suitable for adsorbing different types of seed samples.

[0073] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figures 5 to 7 , the bearing surface m is used to bear the seed sample on the bottom side of the seed sample.

[0074] In this way, by configuring the placement position 112 to adsorb the seed sample from the bottom side of the seed sample, not only can the stability of the seed sample be improved with the help of the gravity of the seed sample, but the contact area between the placement position 112 and the seed sample can also be made more uniform, the adsorption force distribution can be more balanced, and the stability of the seed sample can be further improved, which is beneficial to improving the cutting effect when laser cutting the seed sample.

[0075] Of course, in some other embodiments, the opening x of the placement position 112 may also be provided on the side of the placement position 112 , which is not specifically limited here.

[0076] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figures 2 to 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 The placement position 112 is provided with an air pipe interface 101 connected to the opening x. The air pipe interface 101 is located on the side of the placement position 112 facing the rotation axis L. The seed chip sampling device 100 also includes an air slip ring 102 rotatably mounted on the rotation axis of the rotating body 111. The air pipe is connected between the air pipe interface 101 and the air slip ring 102. The air slip ring 102 is connected to the vacuum control valve 103 of the vacuum system. It should be noted that the air pipe is not shown in the figure.

[0077] By setting up the air slip ring 102, when the rotating body 111 drives the placement position 112 to rotate, not only can the gas be transmitted from the static gas source to the rotating placement position 112 more stably, but the entanglement of the air pipe can also be improved, thereby making the adsorption force provided by the placement position 112 more stable.

[0078] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 8 to 12 , Figure 8 for Figure 4 The structure shown is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure with some structures removed. Figure 9 for Figure 8 The schematic diagram of the top view of the structure is shown. Figure 10 for Figure 8 The schematic diagram of the local enlarged structure at A2 in the middle, Figure 11 for Figure 9 The schematic diagram of the local enlarged structure at A3 in the middle, Figure 12 This is a partial structural diagram of the cooperation between the detachment mechanism 130 and the rotation mechanism 110 in other embodiments of the present application. The detachment mechanism 130 includes a gas generating unit 131a and / or a disturbance unit 131b. The gas generating unit 131a is configured to generate an airflow at a predetermined flow rate toward the placement position 112 to cause the sampled seed sample to detach from the placement position 112. The disturbance unit 131b is configured to apply a force to the sampled seed sample via a predetermined disturbance portion to cause the sampled seed sample to detach from the placement position 112.

[0079] The gas generating unit 131a is a device for generating an airflow at a preset flow rate and directing it to the placement position 112 to facilitate the removal of the sampled seed from the placement position 112. The "preset flow rate" refers to an airflow rate that can effectively blow the seed sample away from the placement position 112 without damaging the seed sample. Different flow rates can be set for different seed samples. Of course, the gas generating unit 131a can also be configured to generate airflow at the same flow rate, and this is not specifically limited here.

[0080] For example, the gas generating unit 131a may be a fan-driven structure, a compressed gas structure, a venturi tube structure, or the like, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0081] The disturbance unit 131b utilizes a pre-set disturbance component to apply a desired force to the sampled seed sample, enabling the sampled seed sample to overcome adhesion, friction, and other forces between the sampled seed sample and the placement location 112, thereby releasing the sampled seed sample from the placement location 112. Different disturbance methods and force levels can be used to address the characteristics of different seed samples and placement locations 112. Of course, the disturbance unit 131b can also be configured to generate the same force, and this is not a specific limitation.

[0082] Exemplarily, the disturbance unit 131b may be an ultrasonic structure, a mechanical contact structure, or the like, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0083] The separation mechanism 130 may include a gas generating unit 131a, the separation mechanism 130 may include a disturbance unit 131b, or the separation mechanism 130 may include a gas generating unit 131a and a disturbance unit 131b, which are not specifically limited here. Figure 10 and Figure 11 The diagram shows a case where the separation mechanism 130 includes a gas generating unit 131a. Figure 11 The placement position 112 is not shown in the figure, and the location of the placement position 112 is only roughly indicated by a dotted frame. Figure 12 The diagram shows a case where the separation mechanism 130 includes a disturbance unit 131b. When the separation mechanism 130 includes a gas generating unit 131a and a disturbance unit 131b, the gas generating unit 131a and the disturbance unit 131b can cooperate with each other to achieve separation of the seed sample after sampling.

[0084] By configuring the detachment mechanism 130 to include a gas generating unit 131a, the airflow can be used to blow away the sampled seed, which not only reduces damage to the seed sample but also allows for rapid detachment and improved processing efficiency. By configuring the detachment mechanism 130 to include a disturbance unit 131b, the predetermined disturbance portion can be used to apply force, quickly breaking the adhesion or friction between the seed sample and the placement position 112, thereby accelerating the overall detection or processing process.

[0085] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The separation mechanism 130 includes a gas generating unit 131 a having a blowing port c. The blowing port c is configured to blow air toward the sampled seed sample so that the sampled seed sample is separated from the placement position 112 .

[0086] For example, Figure 11 For example, the blowing direction may be perpendicular to the extending direction of the rotation axis L and parallel to the direction of the placement position 112 where the seed sample is located pointing toward the rotation axis L.

[0087] The seed sample after sampling is separated from the placement position 112 by blowing, which is a non-contact operation and can reduce the risk of damage caused by direct contact with the seed sample after sampling. In addition, the air flow blown out by the blowing port c can also make the seed sample after sampling separate from the placement position 112 more quickly. In this process, by adjusting parameters such as the blowing pressure and flow rate of the blowing port c, it can adapt to seed samples after sampling of different types, sizes and weights, with strong flexibility and adaptability. In addition, since the blowing port c has a simple structure, it is not easy to malfunction, and in daily maintenance, it only needs to regularly check whether the blowing port c has problems such as blockage, so the maintenance cost is low and the operation is simple.

[0088] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The gas generating unit 131a includes a positive pressure interface component, which is used to be connected to the positive pressure system through an air pipe, and the positive pressure interface component is connected to the blowing port c.

[0089] Exemplarily, the positive pressure interface component can be located on the side of the placement position 112 facing the rotation axis L. Of course, the positive pressure interface component can also be located on the side of the placement position 112 away from the rotation axis L, which is not specifically limited here.

[0090] The positive pressure interface is connected to the positive pressure system via an air pipe, providing a more stable and continuous positive pressure air source for the blowing port c, thereby improving the consistency of the effect of the seed sample being removed from the placement position 112 after sampling. At the same time, the positive pressure interface serves as an access point for the air source, facilitating centralized management and control of the air source of the entire separation mechanism 130. The positive pressure system can adjust parameters such as the air source pressure and flow rate to meet the different seed sample requirements and control the blowing force to meet the requirements of removing different types and specifications of sampled seed samples.

[0091] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 12 The disturbance unit 131b includes a disturbance portion 1311, which is configured to move along a preset direction Y so as to apply a force along the preset direction Y to the sampled seed sample. The preset direction Y is perpendicular to the extension direction of the rotation axis L.

[0092] For example, Figure 12 For example, the preset direction Y can be parallel to the direction in which the placement location 112 where the seed sample is located points toward the rotation axis L. In this case, the disturbance portion 1311 can be located on the side of the placement location 112 facing away from the rotation axis L. Of course, the disturbance portion 1311 can also be located on the side of the placement location 112 facing the rotation axis L, and this is not specifically limited here.

[0093] In this way, by controlling the movement direction of the disturbance unit 1311, the force of the disturbance unit 1311 can be more specifically applied to the sampled seed sample, allowing the seed sample to be more accurately removed from the placement position 112. Furthermore, the preset direction Y and the magnitude of the force can be flexibly adjusted based on the characteristics of the seed sample and the equipment layout requirements to accommodate different removal requirements for the sampled seed sample. For example, for sampled seed samples of different shapes, weights, and materials, the removal efficiency can be improved by adjusting the movement speed, travel distance, and force of the disturbance unit 1311.

[0094] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 12 The disengagement mechanism 130 further includes a first driving member 1312 , which is connected to the disturbance portion 1311 , and is used to drive the disturbance portion 1311 to move along a preset direction Y.

[0095] For example, the first driving member 1312 may be a linear motor, a screw-nut assembly, a gear rack assembly, or a linear cylinder, etc., which are not specifically limited here. In the embodiment of the present application, the first driving member 1312 may be a linear motor.

[0096] The first driving member 1312 can provide power output to the disturbance unit 1311, controlling the movement position and speed of the disturbance unit 1311. By controlling the parameters of the first driving member 1312, the disturbance unit 1311 can be moved to the target position and exert force on the target seed sample at the desired speed, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of seed sample removal.

[0097] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figures 2 to 4 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 The seed slice sampling device 100 further includes a base 140, on which a rotating body 111 is rotatably mounted. The base 140 is provided with a first drop opening k1 and a second drop opening k2. The seed slices obtained by the sampling mechanism 120 from the seed sample drop through the first drop opening k1 to below the base 140. The sampled seed sample is then released from the placement position 112 by the release mechanism 130 and drops through the second drop opening k2 to below the base 140.

[0098] Exemplarily, the base 140 has a top side and a bottom side arranged along the vertical direction G. The bottom of the base 140 can be understood as one side of the bottom side of the base 140, and the top of the base 140 can be understood as one side of the top side of the base 140. When other components involve the top, bottom, top side and bottom side, they can be understood by reference and no further description is given. The rotating body 111 is rotatably arranged on the top side of the base 140. That is, the first blanking port k1 and the second blanking port k2 on the base 140 are located on one side of the bottom side of the rotating mechanism 110. Among them, it can be understood that it can be understood in combination with the first guide 401 and the second guide 402 illustrated later. Figure 9 In the illustrated situation, the positions of the first blanking opening k1 and the second blanking opening k2 are illustrated.

[0099] In one embodiment, in combination with the contents illustrated in some of the aforementioned embodiments, a first drop-out port k1 is provided at the sampling station S1 and is located on one side of the bottom side of the rotating mechanism 110. The first drop-out port k1 is used to receive sample slices cut from the seed sample by the sampling mechanism 120. A second drop-out port k2 is provided at the separation station S2 and is located on one side of the bottom side of the rotating mechanism 110. The second drop-out port k2 is used to receive the sampled seed sample after separation from the placement position 112.

[0100] By providing the first and second drop openings k1 and k2, the classified collection of different parts of the seed sample is achieved. This facilitates the subsequent targeted processing of different parts of the seed sample, thereby improving the refinement of seed sample processing and the efficiency of seed sample management. Furthermore, the coordination of the first and second drop openings k1, k2, the rotating body 111, the sampling station S1, and the separation station S2 effectively utilizes space, allowing the entire seed sample processing process to proceed smoothly within a limited space. This layout facilitates the automated seed sample processing process.

[0101] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 9 The seed chip sampling device 100 further includes a first guide member 401 provided at the first drop opening k1 and a second guide member 402 provided at the second drop opening k2.

[0102] The first guide 401 and the second guide 402 are components that can be used to guide the dropping of corresponding seed samples. The first guide 401 and the second guide 402 can be detachably connected to the base 140. For example, the first guide 401 extends through the first drop opening k1 to the side of the base 140 facing away from the rotating body 111, and the second guide 402 extends through the second drop opening k2 to the side of the base 140 facing away from the rotating body 111.

[0103] Exemplarily, the first guide member 401 and the second guide member 402 can both be configured as a drop hopper. The drop hopper is generally in the shape of a funnel or a similar shape. In the vertical direction G, the drop hopper can be set to be wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. That is, the upper opening of the drop hopper is larger and is used to receive seed samples, and the lower opening of the drop hopper is smaller so as to guide the seed samples to the desired location or equipment. Furthermore, the lower opening of the drop hopper can also be equipped with auxiliary components such as a movable door, a baffle or a vibration device to control the falling speed and flow rate of the seed sample. For example, Figure 13 For example, Figure 13 for Figure 8 The illustrated structure is a three-dimensional schematic diagram from a bottom perspective, illustrating a situation where a movable baffle 403 is provided at the lower opening of the second guide member 402. Of course, the first guide member 401 and the second guide member 402 can also be configured as a cylindrical body, a plate body, or other structures, without specific limitation herein.

[0104] In this way, by providing the first guide member 401 and the second guide member 402 , the seed samples can be collected, temporarily stored and guided to fall, and can be coordinated with other components in the seed chip sampling device 100 to process different seed samples.

[0105] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 4 、 Figures 8 to 11 The seed chip sampling device 100 further includes a first limiting mechanism 150. The first limiting mechanism 150 is used to limit the movement range of the sampled seed sample to within a preset space until it falls to the second drop opening k2 after the sampled seed sample is separated from the placement position 112 by the separation mechanism 130.

[0106] The first limiting mechanism 150 is a mechanism for constraining the movement of the seed sample. The first limiting mechanism 150 can be implemented in a variety of forms, for example, it can be composed of a baffle, a guide plate, etc. Taking the baffle as an example, it can directly block the seed sample from moving in other directions, forcing the seed sample to fall only in the direction of the second drop opening k2. Taking the guide plate as an example, a preset guide path can be provided for the seed sample, so that the seed sample can smoothly reach the second drop opening k2 along the guide plate. No specific restrictions are made here on the specific structural form of the first limiting mechanism 150. The preset space can be understood according to the specific structural form of the first limiting mechanism 150, and will not be elaborated here. It can be understood that the preset space corresponding to the first limiting mechanism 150 can limit the movement trajectory of the sampled seed sample that has separated from the placement position 112, so that the sampled seed sample that has separated from the placement position 112 can fall into the second drop opening k2.

[0107] The movement trajectory refers to the path that the sampled seed sample travels in space after it is released from the placement position 112. Upon leaving the placement position 112, the sampled seed sample may have a certain initial velocity and direction. Under the influence of this initial velocity and direction, the sampled seed sample may move in a random direction, making it difficult for it to accurately land in the second drop-out opening k2. Under the restraining effect of the first restraining mechanism 150, the movement trajectory of the sampled seed sample can be constrained and adjusted.

[0108] Exemplarily, the first limiting mechanism 150 is configured to correspond to the second blanking opening k2. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the first limiting mechanism 150 can be set at the separation station S2 or can be set to be movable to the separation station S2, which is not specifically limited here.

[0109] In this way, by setting the first limiting mechanism 150, the movement range of the seed sample after sampling can be limited, so that the seed sample after sampling can fall into the second drop port k2, which can not only reduce the deviation of the falling position of the seed sample, improve the efficiency and accuracy of seed sample collection, but also improve the continuity and reliability of seed sample processing.

[0110] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 4 、 Figures 8 to 11 The first limiting mechanism 150 includes a first portion 151 and a second portion 152. The first portion 151 is disposed on the base 140 and is located at the separation station S2. The second portion 152 is movably connected to the base 140 in a direction toward or away from the first portion 151, so that the second portion 152 and the first portion 151 can jointly define a confined space Q. The confined space Q is used to accommodate the placement position 112 in the separation station S2.

[0111] For example, Figure 10 and Figure 11 For example, when the disengagement mechanism 130 includes a gas generating unit 131a and the gas generating unit 131a has an air blowing port c, the gas generating unit 131a can be provided in the first part 151, and the first part 151 is located on one side of the top side of the rotating body 111. Specifically, the gas generating unit 131a can be passed from the side of the first part 151 facing the rotation axis L to the side of the first part 151 away from the rotation axis L. The first part 151 can be mounted on the base 140 through the mounting bracket 501. In addition, the air slip ring 102 illustrated in some of the aforementioned embodiments can also be rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 501, which is not specifically limited here. The gas generating unit 131a can also be provided in the second part 152, or the first part 151 and the second part 152 jointly define a space for avoiding the gas generating unit 131a, which is not specifically limited here. Of course, in Figure 12In the illustrated embodiment, the first limiting mechanism 150 may or may not be provided, and no specific limitation is given herein. When the first limiting mechanism 150 is provided, an avoidance structure for avoiding the separation mechanism 130 may be provided on the first limiting mechanism 150 .

[0112] The restricted space Q defined by the first portion 151 and the second portion 152 can more accurately limit the range of motion of the seed sample after it has been removed from the placement position 112. Since the second portion 152 is movable relative to the first portion 151, it not only prevents the rotation of the rotating mechanism 110 but also provides more design space for the structure of the second portion 152, thereby providing a more comprehensive restricted space Q that limits the range of motion of the seed sample after it has been sampled.

[0113] It should be noted that the aforementioned phrase "facilitating greater design space for the configuration of the second portion 152" can be understood to mean that a portion of the second portion 152 can be located on one side of the top side of the rotating body 111, while another portion can be located on one side of the bottom side of the rotating body 111. Of course, the second portion 152 can also be located on one side of the top side of the rotating body 111, without any specific limitation. This allows for greater design space for the second portion 152, allowing for configuration based on different seed sample requirements.

[0114] In addition, the restricted space Q can be understood as the aforementioned preset space corresponding to the first restriction mechanism 150. Of course, the aforementioned preset space can also be other structural forms, which is not specifically limited here.

[0115] In other embodiments of the present application, the first limiting mechanism 150 may not be divided into the aforementioned first portion 151 and second portion 152, and the first limiting mechanism 150 may be fixed. In this case, depending on the structure of the first limiting mechanism 150, when the first limiting mechanism 150 needs to avoid the rotating body 111, an escape hole may be provided on the first limiting mechanism 150. This is not a specific limitation.

[0116] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , and combined with reference Figure 14 , Figure 14 for Figure 11The illustrated structure shows a schematic diagram of the placement position 112. The placement position 112 has a first side and a second side that are oppositely disposed. The direction from the first side to the second side is perpendicular to the extension direction of the rotation axis L. The first side is the side of the placement position 112 that is disposed toward the rotation axis L. The first portion 151 is located on one side of the first side, and the direction in which the second portion 152 moves toward or away from the first portion 151 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the rotation axis L.

[0117] In this way, by configuring the positions of the first part 151 and the second part 152 relative to the placement position 112, the second part 152 of the first limiting mechanism 150 can be moved using the space on one side of the circumferential side of the rotating body 111, which is not only beneficial to improving space utilization, but also beneficial to constructing the shape of the second part 152 to form the required limiting space Q.

[0118] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figures 8 to 11 、 Figure 14 The first limiting mechanism 150 further includes a second driving member 153 , which is connected to the second portion 152 , and is configured to drive the second portion 152 to move toward or away from the first portion 151 .

[0119] For example, the second driving member 153 can be disposed on a side of the second portion 152 that faces away from the first portion 151. The second driving member 153 can be a linear motor, a screw-nut assembly, a rack-and-pinion assembly, or a linear cylinder, etc., without limitation. In the embodiment of the present application, the second driving member 153 can be a linear motor.

[0120] The second driving member 153 can provide power output to the second portion 152 and control the moving position and speed of the second portion 152. By controlling the parameters of the second driving member 153, the second portion 152 can be moved to a target position, which not only helps to form the required confined space Q but also facilitates the operation of the rotating mechanism 110.

[0121] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The seed slicing sampling device 100 further includes a second limiting mechanism 160. The second limiting mechanism 160 is used to limit the movement range of the sample slice to within a preset space after the sample slice obtained by the sampling mechanism 120 is separated from the seed sample until it falls to the first drop port k1.

[0122] The second limiting mechanism 160 is a mechanism for constraining the movement of the seed sample. The second limiting mechanism 160 can be implemented in a variety of forms, such as a baffle, a guide plate, etc. Taking the baffle as an example, it can directly block the seed sample from moving in other directions, forcing the seed sample to fall only in the direction of the first drop port k1. Taking the guide plate as an example, a preset guide path can be provided for the seed sample, so that the seed sample can smoothly reach the first drop port k1 along the guide plate. No specific restrictions are made here on the specific structural form of the second limiting mechanism 160. The preset space can be understood according to the specific structural form of the second limiting mechanism 160, and will not be elaborated here. It can be understood that the preset space corresponding to the second limiting mechanism 160 can limit the movement trajectory of the sample slice after it deviates from the seed sample, so that the sample slice can fall into the second drop port k2.

[0123] The movement trajectory refers to the path that a sample slice travels through space. When a sample slice is cut, it may have a certain initial velocity and direction. Under the influence of this initial velocity and direction, the sample slice may move in a random direction, making it difficult for it to accurately land in the first drop opening k1. Under the restraining effect of the second restraining mechanism 160, the movement trajectory of the sample slice can be constrained and adjusted.

[0124] Exemplarily, the second limiting mechanism 160 is configured to correspond to the first blanking opening k1. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the second limiting mechanism 160 can be located at the sampling station S1 or can be moved to the sampling station S1, which is not specifically limited here.

[0125] In this way, by setting the second limiting mechanism 160, the movement trajectory of the sample slice can be limited so that the sample slice can fall into the first drop port k1, which not only reduces the deviation of the sample slice falling position, improves the efficiency and accuracy of sample slice collection, but also improves the continuity and reliability of seed sample processing.

[0126] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The second limiting mechanism 160 includes a limiting member 161 and a third driving member 162 connected to the limiting member 161. The third driving member 162 is used to drive the limiting member 161 to move between the limiting position and the avoidance position. When the limiting member 161 is in the limiting position, the limiting member 161 is used to provide space for accommodating the corresponding placement position 112. When the limiting member 161 is in the avoidance position, the limiting member 161 is used to avoid the rotating mechanism 110. The corresponding placement position 112 is a placement position 112 where the seed sample placed on the placement position 112 is in a sampling state or a sampling state.

[0127] Illustratively, in some embodiments, when the limiting member 161 is in the limiting position, the limiting member 161 is located at the sampling station S1, and the limiting member 161 is used to provide space for accommodating the placement position 112 at the sampling station S1, and the corresponding placement position 112 is the placement position 112 at the sampling station S1. The second limiting mechanism 160 is provided on one side of the circumference of the rotating body 111, and the third driving member 162 is used to drive the limiting member 161 to perform linear reciprocating motion so that the limiting member 161 switches between the limiting position and the avoidance position. The moving direction of the limiting member 161 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the rotating shaft L. The third driving unit 172 can be a linear motor, a screw nut assembly, a gear rack assembly or a linear cylinder and other components, which are not specifically limited here. In the embodiment of the present application, the third driving member 162 can be a linear motor.

[0128] In this way, by providing the movable limiting member 161 , not only can the movement of the rotating mechanism 110 be coordinated more flexibly, but the limiting position can also be adjusted for different seed samples.

[0129] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 13 The rotating mechanism 110 further includes a fourth driving member 113 and a transmission assembly 114. The fourth driving member 113 is disposed on the top side of the base 140, and the transmission assembly 114 is disposed on the bottom side of the base 140. The transmission assembly 114 is connected between the fourth driving member 113 and the rotating body 111.

[0130] For example, Figure 13 For example, the fourth driving member 113 may be a driving motor for outputting rotational motion, and the transmission assembly 114 may be a synchronous belt assembly for transmitting the rotational motion of the fourth driving member 113 to the rotating body 111 .

[0131] In this way, by setting the fourth driving member 113 and the transmission assembly 114, and respectively configuring the fourth driving member 113 and the transmission assembly 114 on the top side and the bottom side of the base 140, the top side and bottom side space of the base 140 can be more effectively utilized, making the overall layout more compact.

[0132] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The seed slice sampling device 100 further includes a collecting mechanism 170. The collecting mechanism 170 is disposed below the base 140 and is configured to collect sample slices that fall below the base 140 through the first drop opening k1 and / or sampled seed samples that fall below the base 140 through the second drop opening k2.

[0133] That is, the collecting mechanism 170 can be used to collect sample slices that fall through the first drop port k1 to the bottom of the base 140; the collecting mechanism 170 can also be used to collect seed samples after sampling that fall through the second drop port k2 to the bottom of the base 140; the collecting mechanism 170 can also be used to collect sample slices that fall through the first drop port k1 to the bottom of the base 140, and seed samples after sampling that fall through the second drop port k2 to the bottom of the base 140.

[0134] In this way, by providing the collection mechanism 170 , the sample slices cut from the seed sample and / or the seed sample after sampling can be collected and stored, so as to facilitate the processing in subsequent processes.

[0135] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 4 , and combined with reference Figures 15 to 17 , Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a portion of the collecting mechanism 170 in some embodiments of the present application in one state. Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the collecting mechanism 170 in some embodiments of the present application in one state. Figure 17 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the collection mechanism 170 in another state in some embodiments of the present application. The collection mechanism 170 includes a carrying unit 171 and a driving unit 172. The carrying unit 171 is used to carry the first storage element 701 and / or the second storage element 702. The first storage element 701 is configured to store sample slices dropped from the first drop opening k1, and the second storage element 702 is configured to store seed samples dropped from the second drop opening k2. The driving unit 172 is connected to the carrying unit 171 and drives the carrying unit 171 to move in the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 to move the first storage element 701 and / or the second storage element 702 to a predetermined position. The predetermined position corresponding to the first storage element 701 is located below the first drop opening k1, and the predetermined position corresponding to the second storage element 702 is located below the second drop opening k2. The first direction F1, the second direction F2, and the axis of the rotation axis L of the rotation mechanism 110 are perpendicular to each other.

[0136] That is, the carrying unit 171 can be used to carry the first storage component 701, the carrying unit 171 can also be used to carry the second storage component 702, or the carrying unit 171 can also be used to carry the first storage component 701 and the second storage component 702. No specific limitation is given here.

[0137] The first storage element 701 and the second storage element 702 are both components with a certain storage space. For example, the first storage element 701 can be provided with first storage slots arranged in a rectangular array, and the second storage element 702 can be provided with second storage slots arranged in a rectangular array.

[0138] For example, using the sampling mechanism 120 to sample seed samples, the first storage element 701 is positioned below the first drop opening k1. Thus, the sample slices cut from the seed sample can fall into the corresponding first storage slots. As the seed sample cutting operation continues, the position of the first storage element 701 in the first direction F1 and / or the second direction F2 can be adjusted, allowing different first storage slots on the first storage element 701 to store corresponding sample slices. In this case, the preset position corresponding to the first storage element 701 can be determined based on the desired position of the first storage slot relative to the first drop opening k1.

[0139] For another example, consider the case where a seed sample is removed from placement position 112. The second storage element 702 is positioned below the second drop opening k2. Thus, the seed sample removed from placement position 112 can fall into the corresponding second storage slot. As the removal of the seed sample continues, the position of the second storage element 702 in the first direction F1 and / or the second direction F2 can be adjusted, allowing different second storage slots on the second storage element 702 to be used to store the corresponding seed sample. In this case, the preset position corresponding to the second storage element 702 can be determined based on the desired position of the second storage slot relative to the second drop opening k2.

[0140] For example, Figure 16 and Figure 17 For example, the first guide member 401 and the second guide member 402 illustrated in some of the aforementioned embodiments are illustrated, wherein the first storage member 701 is provided corresponding to the first guide member 401, and the second storage member 702 is provided corresponding to the second guide member 402. It can be understood that the aforementioned preset position corresponding to the first storage member 701 can be understood as the position of the first guide member 401 corresponding to the first storage slot corresponding to the first storage member 701, and the preset position corresponding to the second storage member 702 can be understood as the position of the second guide member 402 corresponding to the second storage slot corresponding to the second storage member 702.

[0141] The driving unit 172 is a component for providing driving force to the carrying unit 171 , and is not particularly limited as long as it can drive the carrying unit 171 to move along the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 .

[0142] In this way, the movement of the carrying unit 171 in two directions can be controlled by the driving unit 172, which is not only conducive to simplifying the structure of the seed chip sampling device 100, but also conducive to improving the collection efficiency.

[0143] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 4 、 Figures 15 to 17The carrying unit 171 includes a first carrying member 1711 and a second carrying member 1712. The first carrying member 1711 is used to carry the first storage element 701. The second carrying member 1712 is used to carry the second storage element 702. The driving unit 172 is used to drive the first carrying member 1711 and the second carrying member 1712 to move in the first direction F1 and the second direction F2, respectively.

[0144] The first supporting member 1711 and the second supporting member 1712 may be connected or disconnected. When the first supporting member 1711 and the second supporting member 1712 are connected, they can move together in the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 under the drive of the driving unit 172. When the first supporting member 1711 and the second supporting member 1712 are disconnected, they can move separately in the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 under the drive of the driving unit 172. Depending on whether the first supporting member 1711 and the second supporting member 1712 are connected or disconnected, the driving unit 172 can be configured with different structural forms, and no specific limitation is imposed herein.

[0145] In this way, by providing the first carrying component 1711 for carrying the first storage component 701 and the second carrying component 1712 for carrying the second storage component 702 , the collection of sample slices and seed samples after sampling can be achieved.

[0146] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 15 The first supporting member 1711 and the second supporting member 1712 are integrally formed. The driving unit 172 is used to drive the first supporting member 1711 and the second supporting member 1712 to move along the first direction F1 and the second direction F2.

[0147] In this way, the movement of the first supporting member 1711 and the second supporting member 1712 can be controlled by the same driving unit 172, which is not only conducive to simplifying the structure of the seed chip sampling device 100, but also conducive to improving the collection efficiency.

[0148] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figures 15 to 17 The drive unit 172 includes a first drive assembly 1721 and a second drive assembly 1722. The first drive assembly 1721 is connected to the second drive assembly 1722, and the second drive assembly 1722 is connected to the carrier unit 171. The first drive assembly 1721 is used to drive the second drive assembly 1722 to move along the first direction F1, thereby driving the carrier unit 171 to move along the first direction F1. The second drive assembly 1722 is used to drive the carrier unit 171 to move along the second direction F2.

[0149] Exemplarily, the first drive assembly 1721 is configured as a linear slide module, and the first drive assembly 1721 may include components such as a linear slide 1721a, a slider (not shown in the figure), a transmission structure (not shown in the figure), a motor (not shown in the figure) and a sensor (not shown in the figure). The slider is connected to the second drive assembly 1722, and the slider slides along the first direction F1 to cooperate with the linear slide 1721a. The transmission structure can be a screw transmission structure, a synchronous belt transmission structure, a gear rack transmission structure, etc. Taking the screw transmission mechanism as an example, the motor drives the screw to rotate, and through the cooperation between the screw and the nut, the rotational motion is converted into the linear motion of the slider. The sensor is used to detect information such as the position and speed of the slider to achieve closed-loop control and improve motion accuracy and reliability. The sensor can be a photoelectric sensor, a magnetoelectric sensor, etc. In addition, a related guide structure can be provided to guide the movement of the second drive assembly 1722 along the first direction F1, which will not be described in detail here.

[0150] The second drive assembly 1722 may include a base 1722a, a guide member 1722b, a sliding member 1722c, and a conveyor belt assembly 1722d. The base 1722a is connected to the slider of the first drive assembly 1721. The guide member 1722b is disposed on the base 1722a and extends along the second direction F2. The sliding member 1722c slides and engages with the guide member 1722b along the second direction F2. The sliding member 1722c is connected to the carrier unit 171. The conveyor belt assembly 1722d is disposed on the base 1722a. The conveyor belt assembly 1722d includes a drive structure (not shown), a transmission belt (not shown), a driving pulley (not shown), and a driven pulley (not shown). The drive unit 172 is connected to the driving pulley, and the driving pulley and the driven pulley are wrapped with a transmission belt. The carrier unit 171 is connected to the transmission belt via a corresponding connecting member (not shown). When the driving structure drives the driving wheel to rotate, the transmission belt realizes transmission under the action of the driving wheel and the driven wheel. The carrying unit 171 moves along the second direction F2 driven by the transmission belt.

[0151] Of course, the first drive assembly 1721 and the second drive assembly 1722 can also be linear motors, linear cylinders and other components that can output linear motion, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0152] Thus, the carrier unit 171 can move in two different directions through the synergistic action of the first drive assembly 1721 and the second drive assembly 1722. At the same time, distributing the driving function to the two drive assemblies can disperse the load, increase the service life, and reduce the maintenance cost of the equipment.

[0153] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figures 15 to 17The first storage elements 701 and the second storage elements 702 are arranged along the first direction F1 on the carrier unit 171. All first storage slots are arranged in a rectangular array along the first direction F1 and the second direction F2, and all second storage slots are arranged in a rectangular array along the first direction F1 and the second direction F2.

[0154] As such, this layout offers strong scalability. If storage capacity needs to be increased, more storage elements can be added to the carrier unit 171 along the first direction F1 or the second direction F2. Furthermore, this layout allows for synchronous adjustment of the positions of the first and second storage elements 701, 702 in coordination with the first and second drop openings k1, k2, further improving collection efficiency.

[0155] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figures 5 to 9 There are multiple placement positions 112. All placement positions 112 are arranged on the periphery of the rotating body 111 and are spaced apart around the rotation axis L, so that when there is a placement position 112 on the sampling station S1, there is one placement position 112 on the sampling station S1.

[0156] For example, a plurality of mounting portions 1111 are provided on the periphery of the rotating body 111 , and all the mounting portions 1111 are arranged at intervals around the rotation axis L, with a placement position 112 installed on each mounting portion 1111 . The mounting portions 1111 may be provided protruding from the periphery of the rotating body 111 .

[0157] In this way, when sampling and separating seed samples, relevant operations can be performed on a single seed sample, which not only simplifies the sampling and separation operations, but also helps to control the movement of the first storage component 701 and the second storage component 702 carried by the carrying unit 171, thereby improving the collection efficiency, and further improving the overall seed sample processing efficiency.

[0158] Of course, in some other embodiments, multiple placement positions 112 may be located at the sampling station S1 and multiple placement positions 112 may be located at the separation station S2, which is not specifically limited here.

[0159] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The placement position 112 and the rotating body 111 are detachably connected.

[0160] In this way, not only can the placement position 112 be set according to different seed samples, but the placement position 112 can also be easily maintained.

[0161] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figures 5 to 9A plurality of placement positions 112 are equidistantly arranged around the periphery of the rotating body 111, and each placement position 112 sequentially passes through the sampling mechanism 120 and the separation mechanism 130. When any placement position 112 reaches the separation mechanism 130, the next placement position 112 adjacent to the placement position 112 reaches the sampling mechanism 120.

[0162] Among them, "the placement position 112 arrives at the disengaging mechanism 130" means that the placement position 112 arrives at the position corresponding to the disengaging mechanism 130. "The placement position 112 arrives at the sampling mechanism 120" means that the placement position 112 arrives at the position corresponding to the sampling mechanism 120. In some embodiments, the placement position 112 may arrive at the disengaging station S2, and the disengaging mechanism 130 performs a disengaging operation on the sampled seed sample carried by the placement position 112 at the disengaging station S2. In some embodiments, the placement position 112 may arrive at the sampling station S1, and the sampling mechanism 120 performs a sampling operation on the seed sample carried by the placement position 112. The relationship between the disengaging mechanism 130 and the disengaging station S2, as well as the relationship between the sampling mechanism 120 and the sampling station S1, can be understood with reference to the situations illustrated in some of the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0163] It should be noted that the “when…” in “when any placement position 112 reaches the disengagement mechanism 130” does not mean a restriction on the time node, but is only intended to illustrate the states in which the corresponding two adjacent placement positions 112 correspond to the disengagement mechanism 130 and the sampling mechanism 120 respectively.

[0164] In this way, when the corresponding two adjacent placement positions 112 reach the separation mechanism 130 and the sampling mechanism 120 respectively, continuous processing can be achieved, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the sampling device.

[0165] According to the configuration of the placement position 112, the sampling mechanism 120 and the separation mechanism 130, the seed slice sampling device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can have different continuous processing methods. Figure 3 and Figure 4For example, a case is illustrated in which there are multiple placement positions 112, and each of the sampling mechanism 120 and the disengaging mechanism 130 is provided with one. In this case, when any placement position 112 reaches the disengaging mechanism 130, the next placement position 112 adjacent to the placement position 112 reaches the sampling mechanism 120, allowing the sampling operation to be performed simultaneously with the disengaging operation. For another example, there can be multiple placement positions 112, sampling mechanisms 120, and disengaging mechanisms 130. In this way, multiple placement positions 112 can reach different disengaging mechanisms 130, or multiple placement positions 112 can reach different sampling mechanisms 120, thereby flexibly implementing different continuous processing methods. During this process, depending on the different configurations of the placement positions 112, sampling mechanisms 120, and disengaging mechanisms 130, the rotation mode of the rotating body 111 can be clockwise, counterclockwise, or a combination of clockwise and counterclockwise rotations, without specific limitation herein.

[0166] According to some embodiments of the present application, the seed chip sampling device 100 further includes a detection mechanism (not shown in the figure) for detecting whether the placement position 112 reaches the separation mechanism 130 and / or the sampling mechanism 120 .

[0167] That is, the detection mechanism can be used to detect that the placement position 112 reaches the separation mechanism 130, the detection mechanism can also be used to detect that the placement position 112 reaches the sampling mechanism 120, and the detection mechanism can also be used to detect that the placement position 112 reaches the separation mechanism 130 and the sampling mechanism 120. No specific limitation is given here.

[0168] The detection mechanism can be used to determine whether the placement position 112 reaches the separation mechanism 130 and / or the sampling mechanism 120. Exemplarily, the detection mechanism can be a photoelectric sensor, a proximity switch, a visual detection system, or a laser ranging sensor, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0169] The detection mechanism can be located on one side of the detachment mechanism 130 and / or the sampling mechanism 120, as long as it can achieve in-place detection, and there are no specific limitations here. Regarding the aforementioned statement that "when any placement position 112 reaches the detachment mechanism 130, the next placement position 112 adjacent to the placement position 112 reaches the sampling mechanism 120," the detection mechanism can be located on either the detachment mechanism 130 or the sampling mechanism 120. Of course, detection mechanisms can also be located on both the detachment mechanism 130 and the sampling mechanism 120, and there are no specific limitations here. It should be noted that the detachment operation of the detachment mechanism 130 and the sampling operation of the sampling mechanism 120 can be performed simultaneously or at different times, and there are no specific limitations here.

[0170] In this way, by setting up a detection mechanism, it is helpful to make the placement position reach a more accurate position, thereby facilitating the execution of corresponding sampling operations and / or separation operations, thereby improving processing efficiency and processing effects, and enhancing the degree of automation.

[0171] Furthermore, the detection mechanism can also be used to detect the sample slices falling from the first drop port k1 to the first storage element 701 and the sampled seed samples falling from the second drop port k2 to the second storage element 702, which will not be described in detail here.

[0172] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 The seed chip sampling device 100 also includes a shell 180, which is provided with a loading opening w1, a storage opening w2, an observation window 181 and a display 182. The loading opening w1 is used for loading. The storage opening w2 is used to take and place the first storage element 701 and the second storage element 702. Correspondingly, a corresponding notch can be provided on the base 140 to match the storage opening w2. The observation window 181 is used to observe the operating status of the seed sample cutting work, and a laser protection baffle can be provided on the observation window 181. The display 182 can be used to display the status of the seed chip sampling device 100.

[0173] For example, the loading method can be manual or automatic. During manual loading, when loading seed samples of different varieties, quick switching is possible, facilitating operation. In some embodiments, the aforementioned multiple workstations also include a loading station S3, with the loading opening w1 located at the loading station S3. Furthermore, a position sensor can be provided at the loading station S3 to facilitate control of the rotation of the rotating body 111.

[0174] It should be noted that the seed slice sampling device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application may also include a controller, which can be electrically connected to the relevant action components illustrated above, so that the relevant action components can be controlled by the controller to coordinate actions, thereby further improving the degree of automation.

[0175] The following is an illustrative description of the use of the seed slice sampling device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application in combination with the contents illustrated in some of the above embodiments, but is not limited to this.

[0176] In an example, see Figure 1 、 Figures 4 to 11 、 Figures 13 to 17, the fourth driving member 113 drives the rotating body 111 to rotate around the rotating axis L through the transmission assembly 114. The in-position sensor detects that a certain placement position 112 has arrived at the loading station S3, and the rotating body 111 stops rotating. Negative pressure is generated at the opening x of the placement position 112, and the seed sample is placed on the corresponding placement position 112 at the loading opening w1. Then, the rotating body 111 continues to rotate, and the placement position 112 carrying the seed sample arrives at the sampling station S1. The sampling mechanism 120 performs the sampling operation, and the sample slices cut from the seed sample fall into the first storage slot of the first storage member 701 through the first guide member 401. Subsequently, the rotating body 111 continues to rotate, and the placement position 112 carrying the sampled seed sample arrives at the disengagement station S2. The second driving member 153 pushes the second part 152 of the first limiting mechanism 150 to the target position, and the second part 152 and the first part 151 define a limited space Q. The negative pressure at the opening x of the placement position 112 is released, and the seed sample after sampling and the placement position 112 are in a separable state. An air flow is generated toward the sampled seed sample through the blowing port c of the gas generating unit 131a, and the sampled seed sample is blown onto the second guide member 402 and falls into the second storage slot of the second storage member 702 through the second guide member 402. Then, the second driving member 153 drives the second part 152 to the initial position, and the rotating body 111 continues to rotate, repeating the above steps. In this process, the placement position 112 that reaches the loading opening w1 can be continuously loaded, thereby realizing the continuous operation of the seed chip sampling device 100.

[0177] It should be noted that when the disturbance unit 1311 is configured to move along a preset direction Y, the sampled seed sample is removed by applying a force along the preset direction Y to the disturbance unit 1311. The remaining steps can be understood with reference to the process illustrated above and will not be described in detail. In addition, when any placement position 112 reaches the separation mechanism 130, the next placement position 112 adjacent to the placement position 112 reaches the sampling mechanism 120. This allows the sampling operation and the separation operation to be performed simultaneously, achieving a continuous processing process.

[0178] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0179] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
