[0041] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] In one embodiment, the reference Figures 1 to 8 The utility model provides a multi-purpose fluorescence phenotyping imaging platform, comprising: a bracket 1, a fluorescence imaging component 2, a shading component 3 and a walking component 4. The bracket 1 is a retractable structure, and the bracket 1 has a hollow cavity. When the bracket 1 is in an extended state, the plant 6 to be tested can be placed in the hollow cavity. The fluorescence imaging component 2 is arranged at the top of the bracket 1 and can move back and forth along the height direction of the bracket 1. The fluorescence imaging component 2 is used to collect fluorescent images of the plant. The shading component 3 is a retractable structure, and the shading component 3 is installed on the bracket 1 and is arranged around the hollow cavity. When the shading component 3 is in an extended state, the hollow cavity is a dark environment. When the shading component 3 is in a retracted state, the hollow cavity is a bright environment. The walking component 4 is arranged at the bottom of the bracket 1, and is used to enable the bracket 1 to move its position.

[0043] In this embodiment, the fluorescent imaging component 2 is installed on a liftable bracket 1, thereby realizing multi-level height adjustment of the fluorescent imaging component 2, thereby meeting the needs of photographing plants of different heights, lowering the fluorescent imaging component 2, and also lowering the overall height of the equipment, thereby meeting the needs of laboratories, fields or greenhouses, and expanding the application range of the fluorescent phenotypic imaging platform.

[0044] In one embodiment, the reference Figures 1 to 8 The bracket 1 includes a vertical rod assembly 11 and a horizontal rod assembly 12. The horizontal rod assembly 12 is fixed to the top of the vertical rod assembly 11. The walking assembly 4 is arranged at the bottom of the vertical rod assembly 11. The vertical rod assembly 11 is retractable.

[0045] Specifically, the vertical rod assembly 11 includes four telescopic rods 111 and two connecting plates 112. The four telescopic rods 111 are arranged around a circle, and the two ends of one connecting plate 112 are fixedly connected to the bottom of two of the telescopic rods 111, and the two ends of the other connecting plate 112 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the other two telescopic rods 111. The crossbar assembly 12 is a square frame structure, and the tops of the four telescopic rods 111 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the crossbar assembly 12, so that the crossbar assembly 12 connects the four telescopic rods 111 into one. The walking assembly 4 includes four universal wheels, each of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of a telescopic rod 111. In other words, the bracket 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure. Of course, the bracket 1 can also be configured as a deformable structure, a cylindrical structure, etc.

[0046] Furthermore, the telescopic rod 111 includes a lifting motor 1111, a first telescopic section 1112, a second telescopic section 1113, and a third telescopic section 1114. The lifting motor 1111 is disposed at the bottom of the first telescopic section 1112, the second telescopic section 1113 is inserted into the first telescopic section 1112 from the top of the first telescopic section 1112, and the third telescopic section 1114 is inserted into the second telescopic section 1113 from the top of the second telescopic section 1113, so that the lifting motor 1111 can drive the second telescopic section 1113 and the third telescopic section 1114 to extend upward or to retract downward. In other words, the telescopic rod 111 is a three-section telescopic rod. The telescopic rod 111 can also be configured as a two-section telescopic rod, a four-section telescopic rod, etc. Of course, the telescopic rod 111 can also be configured as other structures as long as the above functions can be achieved.

[0047] In this embodiment, by arranging the connecting plate 112 at the bottom of the telescopic rod 111, multiple telescopic rods 111 can be connected, and the center of gravity can be lowered. Combined with the walking component 4, the overall transportation of the equipment can be facilitated.

[0048] It should be pointed out that the specific structure of the bracket 1 is described in accordance with the drawings in the specification. In actual use, other structures can also be adopted, as long as the structure or device can achieve the extension and retraction of the bracket. This is only for the purpose of better illustrating the present invention and should not constitute a limitation to the present invention.

[0049] In one embodiment, the reference Figures 1 to 8 The shading assembly 3 includes a box body 31, a lifting motor 32 and a shading member 33. The box body 31 is arranged at the top of the hollow cavity and is fixedly connected to the cross bar assembly 12 and / or the vertical bar assembly 11. The lifting motor 32 is installed in the box body 31 and is connected to the shading member 33. The lifting motor 32 can drive the shading member 33 to retract into the box body 31 or below the box body 31, and drive the shading member 33 to hang down from the box body 31 to block the four sides of the hollow cavity.

[0050] Specifically, the shading element 3 is an accordion curtain, arranged around the hollow cavity. A lifting motor 32 drives the curtain to extend and retract synchronously. In other words, the shading assembly 3 is a motorized accordion curtain. A speed control device rotates a coaxial cord winder, which raises and lowers the lifting cord, thereby opening and closing the curtain. This provides light-blocking, heat-insulating, and sound-isolating functions. Of course, the shading element 3 can also be configured with other structures, as long as they can achieve the shading function.

[0051] Fluorescence imaging assembly 2 can be configured as a fluorescence camera, mounted at the bottom of housing 31. The fluorescence camera and housing 31 can rise and fall synchronously with the top of bracket 1. When bracket 1 is retracted, the bottom of the fluorescence camera is spaced a predetermined distance from the bottom of bracket 1, preventing damage to the fluorescence camera.

[0052] Furthermore, the multi-purpose fluorescence phenotype imaging platform also includes: a control component 5, which is fixed on the connecting plate 112; the control component 5 is connected to the fluorescence imaging component 2, and is used to control the operation of the fluorescence imaging component 2; the control component 5 is connected to the shading component 3, and is used to control the operation of the shading component 3; the control component 5 is connected to the walking component 4, and is used to control the operation of the walking component 4, and the walking component 4 can be driven by a motor to move.

[0053] The control assembly 5 can be a control box, serving as the host of the multi-purpose fluorescence phenotyping imaging platform. It features signal acquisition, data processing, and data upload, along with Wi-Fi and 4G communication capabilities. It can also be an IoT terminal, used to acquire monitoring data from other devices and transmit it to a remote server. The control terminal retrieves monitoring data from the cloud and issues control commands based on the data. A power supply and a power management unit can also be located within the control box. The power supply is connected to the power management unit, which in turn is connected to the lifting motor 32 of the fluorescence imaging assembly 2 and the light shielding assembly 3. The power supply includes a battery, providing real-time power to the various functional units.

[0054] In this embodiment, when the telescopic rod 111 is retracted, the accordion curtain of the shading assembly 3 is also retracted, which can reduce the distance between the fluorescent camera, accordion curtain, and control box and the ground, thereby reducing the height of the equipment from 3 meters to 1 meter, facilitating access between laboratories, greenhouses, and fields, thereby achieving versatility in multiple scenarios. By providing a connecting plate 112 at the bottom of the telescopic rod 111, multiple telescopic rods 111 can be connected while also lowering the center of gravity. Combined with the walking assembly 4, this facilitates the overall transportation of the equipment. Dark adaptation adopts an electrically liftable and foldable accordion curtain structure to meet the requirements of rapid light blocking and uniform dark adaptation. The control assembly controls the operation of each component, which can quickly meet the adjustment requirements for photographing plants at different heights, thereby improving imaging efficiency.

[0055] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described or recorded in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0056] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
