Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is a multifunctional photographic workstation for DUS testing of plant varieties, belonging to the technical field of photographic workstations for DUS testing. Background Technology

[0002] The DUS test (Distinctness, Uniformity, and Stability) is used to assess the distinctiveness, uniformity, and stability of new plant varieties in plant variety rights protection applications. A photographic mount for a DUS test of a plant variety falls under the fields of botany and plant breeding technology, particularly in the testing of phenotypic traits of plant varieties.

[0003] A photo stand is used to support plant samples during testing, ensuring that the photos clearly show the plant's characteristics. These characteristics typically include the plant's leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, and other external features. The stand is designed to accommodate different plant sizes and shapes, ensuring the plant maintains the appropriate posture and orientation during the photoshoot.

[0004] Existing workbenches are typically rudimentary, with limited functionality. They are usually constructed using paper backdrops, which are inadequate for sample fixation, making it easy for plants to move during photography due to external forces such as wind, affecting image quality and accurate sample recording.

[0005] Furthermore, due to the different types of photography, it is necessary to select a background color with high color contrast according to the sample color to prevent insufficient contrast and background interference. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently change the background board, and changing the background board requires readjusting the sample, which is quite cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional photographic workstation for DUS testing of plant varieties, so as to solve the problems of the existing technology.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0008] A multifunctional photographic workbench for DUS testing of plant varieties includes: a horizontally placed workbench and a clamping component rotatably disposed in the middle of the workbench, through which plant samples are fixed;

[0009] A support plate vertically disposed on one side of the worktable, and a background assembly disposed on the upper surface of the worktable and facing the support plate on one side of the worktable, together with the worktable, the support plate, and the background assembly, form a side shooting section;

[0010] The control module is electrically connected to the background component;

[0011] A lighting plate is arranged parallel to the support plate above it, with a hollowed-out section in the middle to form a longitudinal shooting part;

[0012] The background component works in conjunction with the control module to switch the background color of the side-facing camera and the vertical-facing camera.

[0013] As a further improvement, the background component includes a first color electronic ink display embedded in the upper surface of the workbench and a second color electronic ink display embedded in the upper surface of a support plate facing the workbench side, wherein the first color electronic ink display and the second color electronic ink display are electrically connected to the control module.

[0014] As a further improvement, the worktable is a disc structure, with a groove at the center of the worktable, and the upper width of the groove is greater than the lower width.

[0015] As a further improvement, the clamping component includes a base, a positioning sleeve disposed above the base, and an insertion hole disposed on the axis above the positioning sleeve. The sample rod is inserted into the insertion hole, and the model of the base can be adjusted according to the needs of shooting to adapt to different shooting requirements.

[0016] As a further improvement, the support plate has an arc-shaped structure, and several locking holes are provided at the top and bottom of the support plate. The locking holes are vertically connected to the workbench and the side of the lamp plate by bolts.

[0017] As a further improvement, the workbench and the lighting panel are arranged in parallel.

[0018] As a further improvement, the ratio of the height of the support plate to the diameter of the worktable is 1:1.25.

[0019] As a further improvement, the lighting panel has a circular structure, including a main frame connected to the support plate, a lamp panel embedded below the main frame, and a number of LED lights in the lamp panel. The lamp panel is electrically connected to the control module.

[0020] As a further improvement, control buttons are also provided on the side of the workbench. These control buttons are electrically connected to the control module. Multiple control buttons are provided, and through their cooperation with the control module, the first and second color e-ink displays can be turned on / off, the lamp panel can be turned on / off, and the colors of the first and second color e-ink displays can be switched.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] This invention places plant samples on a workbench and secures them firmly with a clamping component located in the middle of the workbench. Combined with the shielding of a support plate, it prevents the samples from shifting due to external forces (such as wind) during the shooting process.

[0023] Generally, neutral gray is the main color for shooting backgrounds. However, since paper background boards are prone to moisture and discoloration, electronic background boards are more practical and can adjust the background color when needed.

[0024] Based on the background color required during shooting, the control module controls the switching of background components to improve image contrast, avoid background interference, and prevent paper background boards from getting damp or discolored when exposed to sunlight.

[0025] If a side shot is required, the side shooting area formed by the worktable, support plate, and background components can be used; if a sample needs to be shot from the top, it can be shot vertically through the hollowed-out part in the middle of the light panel.

[0026] By using a lighting panel positioned above the support plate, sufficient and uniform lighting in the shooting environment is ensured, thereby avoiding the impact of shadows and uneven lighting on image quality.

[0027] Compared to existing rudimentary photography workstations, this method uses clamping components to fix the sample, preventing external interference from moving the sample during photography. This makes the photography process more stable, thus ensuring image accuracy and precise sample recording.

[0028] Compared to the traditional method that requires frequent manual background changes, this solution allows for one-click background color switching via an electrical connection between the control module and the background component. This eliminates the need for manual background replacement, significantly improving operational efficiency.

[0029] By designing side and vertical shooting sections, users can choose different shooting angles to suit the shooting needs of different plant varieties. This multi-functional shooting method expands the application scenarios of the workbench.

[0030] The lighting panel ensures uniform illumination during shooting, avoiding the impact of uneven natural or ambient light on image quality and guaranteeing consistent lighting conditions for the samples during the shooting process.

[0031] The automated background switching and stable sample fixation device simplify the traditional cumbersome operation steps, reduce the trouble of readjusting samples when changing the background, and improve work efficiency.

[0032] Not only have the sample fixation, background switching, and shooting angle been optimized, but the integrated control module and lighting system have also made the entire shooting process more intelligent and efficient, making it suitable for scenarios requiring precise shooting in plant variety DUS testing.

[0043] Reference Figure 1-6 As shown, a multifunctional photographic workstation for DUS testing of plant varieties includes:

[0044] A horizontally placed workbench 1 is used to fix a plant sample 3 by rotating a clamping component 2 located in the middle of the workbench 1.

[0045] A support plate 4 is vertically arranged on one side of the worktable 1, and a background assembly 5 is arranged on the upper surface of the worktable 1 and facing the support plate 4 on one side of the worktable 1. The worktable 1, the support plate 4, and the background assembly 5 form a side shooting part 6.

[0046] The control module is electrically connected to the background component 5;

[0047] A lighting plate 7 is arranged parallel to the support plate 4 above it, and the lighting plate 7 has a hollowed-out center to form a longitudinal shooting section 8;

[0048] The background component 5 works in conjunction with the control module to switch the background color of the side shooting section 6 and the vertical shooting section.

[0049] This solution primarily addresses the shortcomings of the existing photography workstation 1 in terms of fixing the plant sample 3, changing the background board, and selecting the background color. By introducing clamping components 2, adjustable background components 5, control modules, and lighting panels 7, this solution effectively improves shooting stability and ease of operation.

[0050] By placing the plant sample 3 on the workbench 1 and securing it firmly with the clamping component 2 located in the middle of the workbench 1, and with the shielding of the support plate 4, the sample is prevented from shifting due to external forces (such as wind) during the shooting process.

[0051] Based on the color of plant sample 3, the background component 5 is controlled by the control module to switch the background color to ensure sufficient color contrast between the sample and the background, improve image contrast, and avoid background interference.

[0052] If a side shot is required, the side shooting section 6 formed by the worktable 1, support plate 4, and background component 5 can be used for shooting; if a sample needs to be shot from the top, it can be shot vertically through the hollowed-out part in the middle of the light panel 71.

[0053] By using the lighting plate 7 positioned above the support plate 4, sufficient and uniform lighting in the shooting environment is ensured, thereby avoiding the impact of shadows and uneven lighting on image quality.

[0054] Compared with the existing simple photographing worktable 1, the sample is fixed by the clamping component 2, avoiding external interference that could cause the sample to move, making the shooting process more stable, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the image and the precise recording of the sample.

[0055] Compared to the traditional method that requires frequent manual background changes, this solution allows for one-click background color switching via an electrical connection between the control module and background component 5. This eliminates the need for manual background replacement, significantly improving operational efficiency.

[0056] By designing a side-firing section 6 and a vertical-firing section, users can select different shooting angles as needed to adapt to the shooting requirements of different plant varieties. This multi-functional shooting method expands the application scenarios of the workbench 1.

[0057] The illumination panel 7 ensures uniform lighting during shooting, avoiding the impact of uneven natural or ambient lighting on image quality and ensuring that the samples have consistent lighting conditions during the shooting process.

[0058] The automated background switching and stable sample fixation device simplify the traditional cumbersome operation steps, reduce the trouble of readjusting samples when changing the background, and improve work efficiency.

[0059] Not only have the sample fixation, background switching, and shooting angle been optimized, but the integrated control module and lighting system have also made the entire shooting process more intelligent and efficient, making it suitable for scenarios requiring precise shooting in plant variety DUS testing.

[0060] The background component 5 includes a first color e-ink display 51 embedded in the upper surface of the workbench 1 and a second color e-ink display 52 embedded in the upper surface of a support plate 4 facing the workbench 1. The first color e-ink display 51 and the second color e-ink display 52 are electrically connected to the control module. The color e-ink display is a screen.

[0061] The control module is located inside the workbench 1. The control module is electrically connected to the first color electronic ink display 51, the second color electronic ink display 52, and the lamp board 71 through control buttons and power cords.

[0062] Color e-ink displays are a type of display technology based on electronic paper. They display images and text by moving tiny charged particles between two layers of electrodes. Specifically, color e-ink displays employ microencapsulation technology, with each microcapsule containing charged color particles. By changing the direction of the electric field applied to the electrodes, the distribution of these charged particles can be controlled, thus displaying different colors.

[0063] Once an image or text is displayed on an e-ink display, the content will not change even if the power is off. This means that it does not require a continuous power supply when displaying a stable image.

[0064] E-ink displays do not rely on backlighting but instead use ambient light for reflection, which makes their display effect close to that of paper and has very good contrast, making them particularly suitable for use in natural light or bright environments.

[0065] Due to its bistable nature, electronic ink displays only consume power when updating displayed content. Therefore, compared to other display technologies, electronic ink displays can significantly reduce power consumption.

[0066] One of its major advantages is the low power consumption of color e-ink displays. Because it only consumes power when the displayed content is changed, it is suitable for scenarios where the background is fixed for extended periods, such as backdrops used in plant photography. During long shooting sessions, this technology can significantly reduce power consumption, extend device battery life, and reduce power consumption, thus achieving an environmentally friendly effect.

[0067] It offers excellent display quality in bright environments, as it doesn't require backlighting like LCD or OLED screens, thus avoiding harsh, glaring light. For photographers who need to work for extended periods, the e-ink background provides a more natural and softer display, reducing eye strain.

[0068] Because of the characteristics of e-ink displays, they are not as prone to glare as traditional LCD screens. This is crucial for photographing plant sample 3, as glare can interfere with the quality of the sample image and affect contrast. Furthermore, the background of the e-ink screen can be adjusted to different colors according to the shooting needs, ensuring optimal contrast between plant sample 3 and the background color, thus avoiding interference caused by an unsuitable background color.

[0069] Compared to traditional physical backdrops, color e-ink displays allow for easy content changes via a control module, eliminating the need for frequent manual backdrop replacements. This significantly simplifies the operation and improves efficiency. Simply pressing a control button allows the e-ink display to change the background color to suit different shooting needs.

[0070] Furthermore, the electrical connection between the color e-ink display and the control module makes the background changing process on the entire workbench 1 intelligent and convenient. Through simple button operations, users can quickly switch background colors, avoiding the frequent disassembly and reassembly required by traditional background boards. This not only saves time but also ensures the stability of the samples during shooting, reducing the need for sample readjustment.

[0071] The workbench 1 has a disc structure, and a groove is provided at the center of the middle of the workbench 1, with the upper width of the groove being greater than the lower width.

[0072] Inside the workbench 1, below the first color electronic ink display 51, a counterweight plate is installed, with a socket penetrating through the counterweight plate.

[0073] The clamping component 2 includes a base, a positioning sleeve disposed above the base, and an insertion hole disposed on the axis above the positioning sleeve, into which the sample rod is inserted.

[0074] The support plate 4 has an arc-shaped structure, and several locking holes are provided at the top and bottom of the support plate 4. The locking holes are vertically connected to the side of the workbench 1 and the lamp plate 71 by bolts 41.

[0075] Based on the above design, the supplementary solution further optimizes the stability, flexibility, and ease of operation of the photography worktable 1 through the use of a disc-shaped worktable 1, a counterweight plate, a groove design, and an arc-shaped support plate 4. The following is a detailed introduction to how each part of this solution works together and its advantages:

[0076] The circular worktable 1 provides a stable foundation, evenly distributing gravity and making the entire device more stable during placement and operation. Simultaneously, the circular design facilitates rotation, allowing users to easily adjust the sample's orientation from various angles during shooting, thus improving operational flexibility.

[0077] The recessed design in the middle of the worktable 1, with its wider top and narrower bottom, facilitates the secure embedding of the base of the clamping component 2. This helps limit the movement of the clamping component 2, ensuring accurate sample positioning and preventing it from shaking during shooting.

[0078] A counterweight plate is installed below the first color e-ink display 51, which lowers the center of gravity of the stage 1 and further enhances its stability. The design of the counterweight plate also helps to counteract vibrations or movements that may occur when assembling samples or adjusting the background, ensuring that the samples are not disturbed during the imaging process.

[0079] The insertion hole runs through the counterweight plate, allowing the sample rod to be directly inserted and fixed within it. This design ensures a more secure sample fixation, preventing tilting or instability caused by a shift in the center of gravity.

[0080] The workbench 1 is arranged parallel to the lighting panel 7. The height ratio of the support plate 4 to the diameter of the workbench 1 is 1:1.25.

[0081] The lighting panel 7 has a circular structure. The lighting panel 7 includes a main frame connected to the support plate 4, and a lamp plate 71 embedded below the main frame. The lamp plate 71 is provided with several sets of LED lights and is electrically connected to the control module.

[0082] It also includes control buttons located on the side of the workbench 1. The control buttons are electrically connected to the control module. There are multiple control buttons. By cooperating with the control module, the control buttons control the on / off of the first color electronic ink display 51 and the second color electronic ink display 52, the on / off of the lamp board 71, and the switching of the colors of the first color electronic ink display 51 and the second color electronic ink display 52.

[0083] By setting the worktable 1 parallel to the lighting panel 7, it is ensured that the light source evenly covers the entire shooting area. This setup helps reduce shadows and reflections, improving image sharpness and quality.

[0084] The height-to-diameter ratio of the support plate 4 to the worktable 1 is 1:1.25, ensuring that the support plate 4 has sufficient height to support the background when shooting from the side, while also preventing the background from being too prominent or interfering with the line of sight. This ensures that the background completely covers the sample when shooting the image, improving background consistency and image quality.

[0085] The circular structure of the lighting plate 7, in conjunction with the main frame, provides a ring-shaped lighting effect, ensuring that the sample receives sufficient light from all angles. Due to the uniform distribution of the light source, glare and shadows are effectively avoided, improving the final image quality.

[0086] The embedding of multiple LEDs provides a lighting solution with uniform brightness, low power consumption, and long lifespan. The brightness of the LEDs can be adjusted via control buttons to adapt to different shooting lighting requirements.

[0087] The control buttons located on the side of the workbench 1 allow users to easily control the electronic ink display and backlight panel 71, as well as switch the displayed content. Multiple preset buttons allow for independent operation of each function, such as switching background colors, controlling the light's on / off state and brightness, and adjusting the background display status.

[0088] The integrated button operating system reduces tedious manual steps during equipment adjustments, making operations such as changing background colors and adjusting lighting conditions simpler and faster. Users can adapt to and master this operating method more quickly, improving the overall operational efficiency of the shooting workstation 1, thereby enhancing work efficiency and the accuracy of shooting results.
