TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of measuring tools, especially a Malus flower diameter measuring device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the breeding, cultivation research and horticultural application of Malus plants, the flower diameter is an important phenotypic trait index, and its data accuracy directly affects the research conclusion and application effect. At present, the measurement of Malus flower diameter mostly adopts traditional tools such as ruler, vernier caliper and the like, which has many defects:

[0003] Firstly, the flower needs to be manually held to keep upright during measurement, and the flower is prone to displacement and tilting, resulting in deviation of the measurement reference and large error; secondly, the petals are in a curved or gathered state in the natural state, and the traditional measurement cannot guarantee that the petals are completely flattened, so that the measured value is smaller than the actual diameter, further affecting the data accuracy; thirdly, the traditional tool can only measure a single flower at a time, and for batch sample measurement, the operation is cumbersome, time-consuming and low in efficiency; in addition, the operation of aligning the measurement tool with the petals depends on human judgment, which is highly subjective and prone to individual measurement differences.

[0004] Therefore, a special device capable of precise positioning of the flower, flattening of the petals, batch efficient measurement and simple operation is needed to solve the problems of poor accuracy and low efficiency of the existing measurement method. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0022] The specific embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below. Figures 1 to 5

[0023] The apple flower diameter measuring device of the embodiment comprises a platform, which is formed by bending and hot pressing a rectangular engineering plastic plate, and has light overall structure and sufficient supporting strength.

[0024] The panel 1 is bent downward by 90° at both sides to form leg plates, and a notch is cut upward at the lower edge of each leg plate to divide the leg plate into two legs 2, and the lower end of each leg 2 is bent outward to form a foot 3.

[0025] The panel 1 is arranged in a 2x5 matrix (2 rows in the width direction and 5 columns in the length direction) and has 10 receptacle positioning holes 5, the hole diameter of the receptacle positioning hole 5 is 1 cm, the center distance between adjacent receptacle positioning holes 5 is 7 cm, and 10 apple flowers can be accommodated at the same time for batch measurement.

[0026] The panel 1 is arranged in a 2x5 matrix (2 rows in the width direction and 5 columns in the length direction) and has 10 receptacle positioning holes 5, the hole diameter of the receptacle positioning hole 5 is 1 cm, the center distance between adjacent receptacle positioning holes 5 is 7 cm, and 10 apple flowers can be accommodated at the same time for batch measurement.

[0027] ​A strip 8 is bonded to the front edge of panel 1 using an engineering plastic adhesive. Strip 8 is a rectangular engineering plastic strip, 36cm long, 1.5cm wide, and 0.5cm thick. Strip 8 is hinged to a transparent embossed plate 9 via damping hinges 10. The transparent embossed plate 9 is made of polycarbonate and is 36cm long, 19.5cm wide, and 0.5cm thick. The transparent embossed plate 9 completely covers the area where all the flower base positioning holes 5 are located, ensuring that all flower petals can be fully flattened after fastening, with good light transmission and resistance to deformation. Two damping hinges 10 are symmetrically arranged on both sides along the length of strip 8 to ensure smooth opening and closing of the transparent embossed plate 9 and stable positioning at any position between 90° and 135° from panel 1.

[0028] Two panel notches 4 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the rear edge of panel 1. The edges of the notches are polished to facilitate the operator to manually grasp the transparent embossed plate 9 for opening and closing.

[0029] Operating steps

[0030] 1. Before operation, check the status of the device to ensure that the transparent embossed plate 9 opens and closes flexibly, the damping hinge 10 can be positioned stably, the scale of the concentric circle ruler 7 is clear, and the support leg 3 is placed stably.

[0031] 2. Manually flip the transparent embossed panel 9 upwards and position it at a 120° angle to the panel 1 using the damping hinge 10 to avoid obstructing the flower holder positioning hole 5.

[0032] 3. Randomly select 10 flowers from the apple flower sample and place them one by one on the flower base positioning hole 5 of panel 1, so that the flower base is facing down and embedded in the flower base positioning hole 5, the petals are attached to the surface of panel 1, and the flower stem naturally extends into the sleeve 6, ensuring that each flower is upright and fixed, and the petals are not squeezed or deformed.

[0033] 4. After confirming that all flowers are in place, the operator grasps the edge of the transparent embossed board 9 and slowly flips it downwards to fasten the transparent embossed board 9 onto the panel 1. During the process, the operator gently presses the transparent embossed board 9 to make all flower petals spread evenly between the panel 1 and the transparent embossed board 9, avoiding wrinkles or damage to the petals.

[0034] 5. See also Figure 5 As shown, through the transparent embossed plate 9, the outer edges of the five petals of each flower are observed, and the corresponding concentric circle scale 7 values ​​for each petal edge are read as follows: 5.1cm, 4.9cm, 4.7cm, 5.0cm, and 5.7cm. The arithmetic mean of the five sets of readings for each flower is calculated, and the diameter measurement of the flower is obtained as 5.08cm. The arithmetic mean of the diameter measurements of the ten flowers is calculated to obtain the final measurement result of the flower diameter of the sample.

[0035] 6. After the sample is measured, turn the transparent embossed plate 9 up and position it, take out the measured flower, clean the surface of the panel 1, and measure the next Malus flower sample according to the above steps.

[0036] 7. After all the samples are measured, clean the surface of the panel 1, and fasten the transparent embossed plate 9 on the panel 1. The device is stored in a dry and ventilated place.
