DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following will be combined with the specific embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a hyperspectral seed scanning device of the present invention includes a platform 1, a seed detection unit 2 and a seed transmission unit 3, which is used to achieve rapid scanning and imaging of seeds.

[0037] The platform 1 serves as a base for installing the seed transmission unit 3 and the seed detection unit 2 .

[0038] The seed detection unit 2 is used to scan seeds. The seed detection unit 2 includes a gantry 2.1, a lifting plate 2.2, a hyperspectral camera 2.3 and a spotlight light source 2.4. The gantry 2.1 is fixedly set on the platform 1; the lifting plate 2.2 is fixedly set on the gantry 2.1 in a manner that it can be lifted and lowered; the hyperspectral camera 2.3 is fixedly set on the lifting plate 2.2; the spotlight light source 2.4 is fixedly set on the gantry 2.1, and the relative angle between the two is adjustable; the lifting and lowering movement of the lifting plate 2.2 can drive the hyperspectral camera 2.3 to lift and lower, thereby adjusting the scanning range of the hyperspectral camera 2.3, so that the scanning device can adapt to different detection conditions, and by adjusting the angle of the spotlight light source 2.4, a good lighting environment can be provided for the hyperspectral camera 2.3 at different positions, thereby improving the scanning effect of the seeds.

[0039] The seed conveying unit 3 is used to drive the seeds to move back and forth. The seed conveying unit 3 is fixedly set on the platform 1 and is located below the hyperspectral camera 2.3. The seed conveying unit 3 drives the seeds to move back and forth below the hyperspectral camera 2.3, so that the seeds are scanned by the hyperspectral camera 2.3 to detect the quality of the seeds.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, the seed conveying unit 3 includes a linear module 3.1 and a material box 3.2. The linear module 3.1 is fixedly arranged on the platform 1; the material box 3.2 is fixedly arranged on the output end of the linear module 3.1, and the material box 3.2 is used to place seeds; the linear module 3.1 is a prior art, which is usually composed of a shell, a motor fixed on the shell, a screw coaxially fixed with the output end of the motor, and a slide that cooperates with the screw thread and is slidably connected to the shell. The slide is the output end of the linear module 3.1. When the motor is started, the slide can be driven to move, thereby driving the material box 3.2 connected to the slide to move. The reciprocating rotation of the motor can drive the material box 3.2 to move back and forth, thereby facilitating the loading and unloading of seeds and their detection.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of mounting holes 101 are provided on the platform 1, and the linear module 3.1 is fixedly connected to some of the mounting holes 101. By connecting the linear module 3.1 with the mounting holes 101 at different positions, the linear module 3.1 can be installed at different positions on the platform 1, thereby making the seed conveying unit 3 adaptable to different detection conditions.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the seed detection unit 2 further includes a screw 2.5, a hand wheel 2.6, a scale 2.7, a pointer 2.8, a scale wheel 2.9, a linear rail 2.10, a slider 2.11, a limit block 2.12, a rectangular frame 2.13 and a rotating frame 2.14.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the lifting plate 2.2 is slidably set on the gantry 2.1, and the screw rod 2.5 is rotatably set on the gantry 2.1 and is connected to the lifting plate 2.2 through a threaded connection. When the screw rod 2.5 is rotated, the lifting plate 2.2 can be driven to slide on the gantry 2.1, and when the screw rod 2.5 is not rotated, the lifting plate 2.2 can maintain its relative position with the gantry 2.1, thereby realizing the lifting and fixing of the lifting plate 2.2 and adjusting the position of the hyperspectral camera 2.3 on the lifting plate 2.2.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, the scale 2.7 is fixedly mounted on the gantry 2.1; the pointer 2.8 is fixedly mounted on the lifting plate 2.2 and is slidably mounted on the scale 2.7. The surface of the scale 2.7 has scale lines. When the height of the hyperspectral camera 2.3 is adjusted, the position of the pointer 2.8 is adjusted at the same time, so that the pointer 2.8 moves to scale lines at different positions on the scale 2.7. The scale lines on the scale 2.7 can be converted into the height of the hyperspectral camera 2.3. The height position of the hyperspectral camera 2.3 is determined by the cooperation between the scale 2.7 and the pointer 2.8, so that the height adjustment of the hyperspectral camera 2.3 can be determined.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the handwheel 2.6 is fixedly mounted on the screw rod 2.5, thereby facilitating rotation of the screw rod; a graduated wheel 2.9 is rotatably mounted on the handwheel 2.6 and fixedly connected to the gantry 2.1, and the screw rod 2.5 is rotatably mounted within the graduated wheel 2.9. The graduated wheel 2.9 is a circular ring-shaped structure with graduated lines on its circumference. When the handwheel 2.6 is rotated, the relative position of a certain point on the surface of the handwheel 2.6 and the graduated lines on the circumference of the graduated wheel 2.9 is used to mark the height of the hyperspectral camera 2.3 (the principle is similar to that of the pointer 2.8 and the scale 2.7), thereby cooperating with the scale 2.7 and the pointer 2.8 to calibrate the position of the hyperspectral camera 2.3.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the linear rail 2.10 is fixedly arranged on the gantry 2.1; the slider 2.11 is slidably arranged on the linear rail 2.10 and fixedly connected to the lifting plate 2.2. The sliding cooperation between the slider 2.11 and the linear rail 2.10 makes the sliding connection between the lifting plate 2.2 and the gantry 2.1 more stable.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, the limit block 2.12 is fixedly provided on the linear rail 2.10. When the slider 2.11 slides on the linear rail 2.10, it can abut against the limit block 2.12. Specifically, the limit block 2.12 is preferably located below the linear rail 2.10. When the hyperspectral camera 2.3 moves downward, before it collides with the spotlight light source 2.4, the slider 2.11 is first abutted against the limit block 2.12, thereby improving the protection of the hyperspectral camera 2.3 and the spotlight light source 2.4.

[0048] like Figure 3As shown, the rectangular frame 2.13 is fixedly set on the gantry 2.1, and the projection of the hyperspectral camera 2.3 on the horizontal plane is located inside the projection of the rectangular frame 2.13 on the horizontal plane, so as to avoid the rectangular frame 2.13 blocking the scanning of the hyperspectral camera 2.3; the rotating frame 2.14 is fixedly set on the rectangular frame 2.13 in a rotatable manner, and the spotlight light source 2.4 is fixedly set on the rotating frame 2.14; specifically, the rotating frame 2.14 can be rotatably set on the rectangular frame 2.13. When the rotating frame 2.14 is rotated to a suitable position, the rotating frame 2.14 and the rectangular frame 2.13 are fixed with bolts, thereby realizing the rotation and fixing operation of the rotating frame 2.14, so as to adjust the relative angle of the spotlight light source 2.4 and the gantry 2.1, so that the spotlight light source 2.4 can provide good lighting effects for the hyperspectral cameras 2.3 at different positions.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, there are two rotating frames 2.14, which are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the hyperspectral camera 2.3. Each rotating frame 2.14 is provided with multiple hyperspectral cameras 2.3. The multiple spotlight light sources 2.4 can eliminate lighting shadows, thereby improving the lighting effect of the spotlight light source 2.4; the spotlight light source 2.4 is a spotlight, which can provide better light intensity than the ring light, thereby helping to improve the scanning effect of the seeds.

[0050] The method of using the hyperspectral seed scanning device of the utility model is as follows:

[0051] First, start the hyperspectral camera 2.3 and the spotlight source 2.4. Then, use the hand wheel 2.6 to adjust the height of the hyperspectral camera 2.3. Use the rotation of the rotating frame 2.14 to adjust the lighting effect of the spotlight source 2.3. Then, place the seeds on the material box 3.2. Finally, start the linear module 3.1 to drive the material box 3.2 to move, allowing the hyperspectral camera 2.3 to scan the seeds. The image data collected by the hyperspectral camera 2.3 is transmitted to the detection terminal to realize the detection of the seed phenotype.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
