Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant in vivo phenotypic monitoring technology, and in particular to a device for dynamic monitoring of plant in vivo growth phenotypic patterns. Background Technology

[0002] The plant living growth phenotypic dynamic monitoring device is an intelligent device that uses automated, non-destructive technology to collect phenotypic parameters (such as plant height, leaf area, stem diameter, biomass, color changes, etc.) during plant growth in real time or periodically. This device combines sensors, imaging systems, artificial intelligence algorithms and other technologies to provide data support for plant physiological research, breeding optimization and precision agriculture.

[0003] Currently, plant growth status is monitored by fixed cameras, but there are still some shortcomings. It is impossible to dynamically monitor leaf area, stem diameter, biomass, color changes, number of branches, and number of flower buds at different locations during plant growth. There is room for improvement. Therefore, a dynamic monitoring device for plant living growth phenotype is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings mentioned above by providing a dynamic monitoring device for the phenotypic characteristics of living plants, enabling dynamic monitoring of leaf area, stem diameter, biomass, color changes, number of branches, and number of flower buds at different locations within a plant under its growth state, thereby improving detection accuracy and automating the monitoring process.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a plant living growth phenotypic dynamic monitoring device, used in a growth box for cultivating plants, comprising: Multiple lifting mechanisms are evenly distributed within the growth chamber. The drive unit is located at the top of the lifting mechanism and is used to drive the lifting mechanism to move up and down. The drive box, located on the growth chamber, is used to protect the drive unit; The control box is located on top of the drive box and is electrically connected to the growth box and drive unit. It is used to control the start-up of the growth box and drive unit. The control box includes a controller and a data processor for monitoring and processing the plant growth status. A transmission component, mounted on the lifting mechanism, is used to connect multiple lifting mechanisms for synchronous lifting. A circulating rotation mechanism is mounted on a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the circulating rotation mechanism to move up and down within the growth chamber. The circulating rotation mechanism includes a protective frame and a transmission belt mounted within the protective frame. The adjustment mechanism includes a telescopic rod mounted on a circulating rotation mechanism, a deflector mounted on the telescopic end of the telescopic rod, and a monitoring mechanism mounted on the deflector. The adjustment mechanism is used to monitor the plant growth status. The drive unit, located in the circulating rotation mechanism, is used to drive the transmission belt to rotate.

[0006] Furthermore, the deflector includes a frame disposed at the telescopic end of the telescopic rod and a first driver disposed on the frame, wherein the drive shaft on the first driver is rotatably connected to the frame. It also includes a fixing block mounted on the drive shaft and a mounting plate mounted on the fixing block.

[0007] Furthermore, the monitoring mechanism includes a 3D laser scanner mounted on a mounting plate and a monitoring head mounted on the 3D laser scanner.

[0008] Furthermore, the growth box includes a box body and a growth dish disposed inside the box body; It also includes the door installed on the box and the eco-friendly components installed inside the box.

[0009] Furthermore, the ecological components include LED lights, a temperature regulator, a gas regulator, and a humidity regulator installed inside the enclosure.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a fixed box disposed inside the housing and a lead screw disposed inside the fixed box and extending into the drive box; It also includes a lead block that is installed inside a fixed box and is movably connected to the lead screw.

[0011] Furthermore, the output shaft of the drive unit is fixedly connected to the lead screw.

[0012] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes transmission wheels respectively disposed on the lead screw; It also includes a conveyor belt used to connect the various drive wheels.

[0013] Furthermore, the protective frame includes an annular frame disposed on the wire block and a groove formed within the annular frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the drive unit includes a second driver mounted on a ring frame and a drive wheel mounted on the second driver for driving the transmission belt to rotate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are reflected in: This invention involves planting plants in a growth box and controlling ecological components via a control box. LED lights, temperature regulators, and gas regulators on these ecological components regulate the environment within the growth box. A drive unit then rotates a transmission assembly within the drive box, which in turn drives various lifting mechanisms to synchronously raise and lower a cyclic rotation mechanism. The drive unit then rotates an adjustment mechanism on this cyclic rotation mechanism, which in turn drives a deflector to adjust the angle of a monitoring mechanism. A 3D laser scanner on the adjustment mechanism monitors the upper and lower leaves, leaf diameters at different locations, and flower buds, transmitting signals to the control box for data analysis and comparison. This enables dynamic monitoring of leaf area, stem diameter, biomass, color changes, branch quantity, and flower bud quantity at different locations within the plant, improving detection accuracy and automating the monitoring process.
