Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant phenotypic information collection technology, specifically to a plant phenotypic information collection platform. Background Technology

[0002] Plant phenotypic information acquisition platforms are core tools in modern agricultural research, especially in the fields of precision breeding and smart agriculture. By integrating multiple sensing and imaging technologies and automated control, they enable high-throughput, non-destructive, and automated measurement of phenotypic traits such as plant morphology and physiological and biochemical characteristics.

[0003] Plant phenotypic information collection requires the collection of various characteristics of the target plant, among which the acquisition of plant images is particularly important. The current common collection method is to take pictures of the plant from multiple angles and summarize them into a model for accurate modeling. During the photo taking process, multiple photos need to be taken from multiple angles. The current common collection platform needs to install multiple cameras at multiple positions or rotate a single camera around the target plant. Camera imaging generally requires focusing and shutter closure. The above collection method is quite complex to automate the operation of the camera. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that the existing automated operation is complex, and a plant phenotypic information collection platform is provided.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a plant phenotypic information acquisition platform, including a base, a top cover, a plant platform and a camera rotating platform, wherein the top cover is disposed on the outer ring above the base, the plant platform is fixed in the middle of the base, and the camera rotating platform is rotatably disposed between the top cover and the plant platform.

[0006] The base contains a sliding sleeve that drives the camera rotation platform to rotate. An electric slip ring is located at the center of the base. The fixed end of the electric slip ring is electrically connected to an external electronic shutter release cable, and the rotating end of the electric slip ring is equipped with a control cable that is electrically connected to the sliding sleeve. During the rotation of the sliding sleeve, it automatically and periodically sends focus and shooting signals to the camera on the camera rotation platform.

[0007] Furthermore, a contact block bracket is slidably provided inside the sliding sleeve, and a roller is slidably provided inside the contact block bracket.

A fixed guide ring is provided at the center of the base, and a trigger groove and a reset arm are alternately provided around the edge of the guide ring. The roller abuts against the edge of the trigger groove and the reset arm.

[0008] Furthermore, a contact block is rotatably mounted above the contact block bracket, and a pair of strip contacts one and a pair of strip contacts two are respectively mounted on the top of the sliding sleeve. Rotating the contact block upwards can connect strip contacts one or strip contacts two respectively. Strip contacts one and strip contacts two are electrically connected to the camera's shooting and focusing shutter release circuits on the camera's rotating platform.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the contact block is provided with multiple slots for engaging strip contact one and strip contact two. The slots on the inner side of the contact block are provided with narrow spring pieces, and the slots on both sides of the contact block are provided with wide spring pieces. After the contact block is rotated, the narrow spring pieces connect strip contact one, and the wide spring pieces connect strip contact two.

[0010] Furthermore, the top two sides of the contact block are provided with rotating shafts that are rotatably connected to the top of the contact block support, and the bottom is provided with an inclined groove. The roller is provided with a roller support extending to the middle of the contact block support, and the roller support is provided with cylindrical tenons that cooperate with the inclined groove on both sides.

[0011] Furthermore, the base is equipped with a toothed ring and a through-hole bearing, the outer end of the sliding sleeve is connected to the toothed ring, the inner end is connected to the through-hole bearing, and the top of the sliding sleeve is connected to the camera rotating platform.

[0012] Furthermore, the base is provided with a gear that meshes with the gear ring, and the top cover is provided with a rotary motor that drives the gear.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0014] The camera automatically and periodically triggers focusing and taking pictures when rotated to a specific angle, thus realizing an automated data acquisition process.

[0015] By utilizing the movement of rollers on the trigger groove and the edge of the reset arm of the fixed guide ring, mechanical displacement is converted into electrical on / off signals, thereby controlling the timing of focusing and shooting, improving the reliability and durability of the system.

[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 A plant phenotypic information acquisition platform includes a base 1, a top cover 2, a plant platform 3, and a camera rotating platform 4. The top cover 2 is located on the outer ring above the base 1, a central column 12 is located in the middle of the base 1, the plant platform 3 is located on the central column 12, and the camera rotating platform 4 is rotatably located between the top cover 2 and the plant platform 3.

[0034] Combined with appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 The base 1 is equipped with a sliding sleeve 8 that drives the camera rotating platform 4 to rotate. The center of the base 1 is equipped with an electric slip ring 11. The fixed end of the electric slip ring 11 is electrically connected to an external electronic shutter release cable. The rotating end of the electric slip ring 11 is equipped with a control cable 17 that is electrically connected to the sliding sleeve 8. During the rotation of the sliding sleeve 8, it automatically and periodically sends focus and shooting signals to the camera on the camera rotating platform 4.

[0035] The electrical connections of the external electronic shutter release cable and the camera and slide 8 in the accompanying drawings of this application have been omitted. The above electrical structures are common technologies and will not be described further in this application.

[0036] Combined with appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 The base 1 is equipped with a gear ring 7 and a through bearing 9. The outer end of the sliding sleeve 8 is connected to the gear ring 7, and the inner end is connected to the through bearing 9. The top of the sliding sleeve 8 is connected to the camera rotating platform 4. The base 1 is equipped with a gear 6 that meshes with the gear ring 7, and the top cover 2 is equipped with a rotary motor 5 that drives the gear 6.

[0037] The rotating motor 5 can drive the sliding sleeve 8 and the camera rotating platform 4 to rotate. The collected plants are placed on the plant platform 3, and the information collection camera is installed on the camera rotating platform 4. The camera can then rotate around the plant. Through the structure of this application, the camera's focusing and shooting functions can be automatically triggered sequentially when the camera rotates to a specific angle.

[0038] Combined with appendix Figure 5 Appendix Figure 6 Appendix Figure 7 Appendix Figure 8 Appendix Figure 9 Appendix Figure 10 Appendix Figure 11 Appendix Figure 12 and attached Figure 13A contact block bracket 13 is slidably mounted inside the sliding sleeve 8, and a roller 15 is slidably mounted inside the contact block bracket 13. The sliding direction of the contact block bracket 13 and the roller 15 both point towards the rotation center of the camera rotating platform 4, and each is provided with a spring to push it towards the rotation center of the camera rotating platform 4. A fixed guide ring 10 is provided at the center of the base 1. The edge of the guide ring 10 is alternately provided with a trigger groove 26 and a reset arm 27 around its perimeter. The roller 15 abuts against the edges of the trigger groove 26 and the reset arm 27. A contact block 16 is rotatably mounted above the contact block bracket 13. A pair of strip contacts 18 and a pair of strip contacts 19 are respectively provided on the top of the sliding sleeve 8. The upward rotation of the contact block 16 can connect either the strip contacts 18 or the strip contacts 19. The second contact 19 is electrically connected to the camera's shutter release circuit on the camera rotating platform 4. The top of the contact block 16 is provided with multiple slots 22 that cooperate with the first strip contact 18 and the second strip contact 19. The slots 22 on the inner side of the contact block 16 are provided with narrow springs 20, and the slots 22 on both sides of the contact block 16 are provided with wide springs 21. After the contact block 16 is rotated, the narrow springs 20 connect the first strip contact 18, and the wide springs 21 connect the second strip contact 19. The top two sides of the contact block 16 are provided with rotating shafts 24 that are rotatably connected to the top of the contact block support 13. The bottom is provided with a sloping groove 23. The roller 15 is provided with a roller support 14 that extends to the middle of the contact block support 13. The roller support 14 is provided with cylindrical tenons 25 that cooperate with the sloping groove 23 on both sides.

[0039] Combined with appendix Figure 14 and attached Figure 15 During the rotation of the sliding sleeve 8, the roller 15 rotates against the edge of the trigger groove 26 and the reset arm 27. When it contacts the reset arm 27, the roller 15 retracts into the contact block bracket 13 due to the outward protruding profile of the reset arm 27. At the same time, the contact block bracket 13 and the roller 15 move outward as a whole due to the spring force. During this process, because the roller 15 retracts into the contact block bracket 13, the contact block 16 flips downward under the linkage of the inclined groove 23 and the cylindrical latch 25. This causes the narrow spring 20 and the wide spring 21 to be unable to contact the strip contact 18 and the strip contact 29. The external electronic shutter cable cannot transmit electrical signals to the camera. Therefore, the camera's focusing and shooting functions will not be triggered during this process.

[0040] Combined with appendix Figure 14 and attached Figure 15As the roller 15 moves away from the reset arm 27 and towards the trigger slot 26, the roller 15 loses its clamping force and extends, causing the contact block 16 to flip upward. At the same time, the contact block bracket 13 and the roller 15 move outward as a whole. During this process, the narrow spring 20 and the wide spring 21 contact the first strip contact 18 and the second strip contact 19 in turn. By specially setting the installation positions of the first strip contact 18 and the second strip contact 19, the connection time difference of the corresponding circuits of the first strip contact 18 and the second strip contact 19 can be changed, so that the circuit connected first transmits the focus signal and the circuit connected later transmits the shooting signal, thus realizing the automatic shooting of the camera.

[0041] Based on this, by changing the number and angle of the trigger slots 26 and the reset arms 27, the camera can automatically focus and take pictures at a specific angle while rotating around the plant, thus achieving automated information collection.

[0042] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
