DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments 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.

[0023] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a plant tissue extraction device in soil includes a sieve plate 1, a soil sieve cone 2 and a support frame 4 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. A vibration motor 5 is provided in the support frame 4, and an anti-sliding block 401 is provided at the bottom of the support frame 4.

[0024] The edge of the sieve plate 1 is provided with a retaining edge to prevent the soil sample from falling during vibration. The bottom of the sieve plate 1 is provided with a coarse sieve hole 101, which can screen out large stones, clods of soil, and large branches and leaves in the soil sample. The bottom of the sieve plate 1 is connected with a funnel 102, and the upper end of the support frame 4 is provided with a hollow structure of the sieve cone 2. The funnel 102 is connected to the sieve cone 2. The sieve cone 2 is a conical structure. The tip of the sieve cone 2 is inserted into the funnel 102 from the bottom. There is a distance between the funnel 102 and the cone tip to ensure that the soil falling from the sieve plate 1 can fall on the sieve cone 2 for screening. Secondary screening: the lower end of the soil screening cone 2 is connected to a ring-shaped sample receiving platform 201. Fine sieve holes 202 are provided on the side walls of the soil screening cone 2 and the sample receiving platform 201. Fine soil is screened out from the fine sieve holes 202, and relatively small stones and soil blocks roll down along the soil screening cone 2 and fall from the sample receiving platform 201 under the action of inertia. Smaller plant tissues, such as small broken leaves and branches, etc., will slowly slide down along the soil screening cone 2 and remain on the sample receiving platform 201 due to their relatively light weight. The small broken leaves, branches and other plant tissues remaining on the sample receiving platform 201 are the samples required for the experiment.

[0025] In order to prevent the required plant samples from falling from the sample receiving platform 201, a small retaining edge 205 is provided at the outer edge of the sample receiving platform 201. The retaining edge 205 has a low height and can not only block plant tissues such as leaves, but also ensure that gravel and broken soil blocks roll off.

[0026] The distance between the inner wall of the funnel 102 and the outer wall of the soil screening cone 2 is not less than the diameter of the coarse screen hole 101, ensuring that the soil sample under the sieve can fall smoothly onto the soil screening cone 2.

[0027] In order to improve the convenience of cleaning the device, the sieve plate 1 and the soil sieve cone 2 are both detachable structures, specifically:

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, an upper support cylinder 203 is provided on the side wall of the soil screening cone 2, and a support leg 103 is provided on the side wall of the funnel 102 to be plugged into the support cylinder;

[0029] A conical guide plate 3 is provided below the soil screening cone 2. The bottom of the guide plate 3 is fixed to the support frame 4, which can scatter the fine soil under the sieve to the surroundings and avoid falling on the support frame 4.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, a lower support cylinder 301 is provided at the upper end of the guide plate 3. Figure 4 As shown, a support rod 204 is connected to the soil screening cone 2 and is plugged into the lower support tube 301.

[0031] During installation, first install the soil screening cone 2 and then install the sieve plate 1, and install them in sequence from bottom to top.

[0032] The support frame 4 is a two-layer structure, divided into an upper support plate and a lower support plate. The vibration motor 5 is fixed to the bottom of the upper support plate. The upper end of the lower support plate is provided with a test tube holder 402, which can be used to store test tubes 6 (with caps) containing lysis solution. After screening plant samples, it is convenient for the experimenter to quickly select the sample, place it in the test tube, and seal it, avoiding contamination. Of course, the test tube can also be placed on the test tube holder 402 of the present application. During the screening process of plant samples, the experimenter can hold the test tube containing lysis solution and take the sample after the screening is completed.

[0033] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
