Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant phenotyping technology, specifically a mobile field maize phenotyping device. Background Technology

[0002] Plant phenotype refers to the observable biological characteristics and properties of a plant, which are the result of the interaction between plant genes and environmental factors. For maize, researchers can use mobile field maize phenotyping devices to efficiently collect a large amount of data on maize plant growth. By analyzing maize phenotypic data, researchers can better understand the laws of crop growth and development, assess maize's adaptability to different environmental conditions, and accelerate the breeding process of superior varieties. This is of great significance for promoting the development of precision agriculture.

[0003] Existing mobile field maize phenotypic identification devices use a group of phenotypic sensors to collect various information about the maize. To ensure the stability of the device, the phenotypic sensors can only move within the frame, which limits the area they cover. This means that if the maize plants extend beyond the outer frame boundary, it will be impossible to obtain complete phenotypic data for these plants, resulting in an incomplete dataset. This affects the accuracy and reliability of subsequent analysis results, and consequently the quality of the research conclusions. Moreover, in order to fully cover the entire field, it may be necessary to frequently reposition the device or add multiple devices, which increases the workload and cost.

[0004] Therefore, a mobile field maize phenotypic identification device is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example:

[0026] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 A mobile field maize phenotypic identification device in this embodiment includes a gear shaft 1, which can be two or more. Support rods 2 are inserted through the opposite ends of the gear shafts 1. Motors 22 are fixedly installed at both ends of the support rods 2. A baffle 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the output end of the motors 22. One or more support rods 4 are fixedly installed on the inner surface of the baffle 3. Gear shafts 5 are sleeved on the outer surface of the support rods 4. Gear shafts 7 are sleeved on the outer surface of the gear shafts 5. The contact parts of the gear shafts 5, 1, and 7 are all in a meshing state.

[0027] A track 8 is fitted on the outer side of the gear shaft 3 7, a track 9 is fitted on the outer surface of the middle part of the gear shaft 1, a counterweight 13 is fixedly installed on the lower inner surface of the track 9, a connecting rod 19 is fixedly installed on the lower outer surface of the track 8, and a model sensor group 12 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting rod 19.

[0028] Among them, the phenotypic sensor group 12 includes, but is not limited to, optical sensors (for capturing plant images), 3D scanners (for constructing three-dimensional plant models), environmental sensors (for measuring environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity), and a GPS positioning system (for recording sampling locations), which helps researchers collect maize growth data more effectively, such as plant height, leaf area, stem diameter, and ear length, thereby accelerating the breeding process and improving crop yield and stress resistance;

[0029] Motor 22 is electrically connected to an external power supply. When motor 22 rotates in the same direction, it drives gear shaft 1 to rotate in the same direction, which in turn drives track 9 and the phenotypic sensor group 12 to rotate in the same direction. At the same time, gear shaft 5, because it meshes with gear shaft 1, rotates in the opposite direction under the push of the gear, thereby driving gear shaft 7 and track 8, which is sleeved on the outer surface of gear shaft 7, to rotate in the opposite direction to gear shaft 1. Thus, track 8 and track 9 rotate in opposite directions. The phenotypic sensor group 12 is set on the lower outer surface of track 8 to facilitate the collection of information about the plants below. To maintain the balance of the equipment, the position of counterweight 13 needs to be set relative to the phenotypic sensor group 12. In order to ensure that the counterweight 13 and the phenotypic sensor group 12 are always symmetrical and do not affect each other's trajectory when they move, the counterweight 13 is set on the lower inner surface of track 9. Therefore, the position of the outer frame does not need to be considered when the phenotypic sensor group 12 moves, so it can still maintain balance.

[0030] A rod 10 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the baffle 3. The rod 10 is located on the upper half of the outer surface of the baffle 3. A fall arresting rod 11 is inserted on the two sides of the two rods 10. The fall arresting rod 11 is inserted into a group of two crossbars 15. The crossbars 15 are symmetrically distributed.

[0031] Among them, the anti-fall rod 11 is equidistant from both tracks 8, so that tracks 8 and 9 are always in a horizontal state, ensuring the balance of the equipment.

[0032] The horizontal bar 15 is fixedly connected to the two ends of an electric lifting rod 23. The bottom of the electric lifting rod 23 is fixedly connected to a column 16, and the electric lifting rod 23 is located inside the column 16.

[0033] The column 16 is taller than the maximum growth height of corn, which increases the range of vertical movement of the epitaxial sensor group 12. This allows the bottom height from the ground to exceed the maximum growth height of corn, adapting to the needs of different growth stages and ensuring that the equipment can collect information throughout the entire growth process of corn.

[0034] A frame 17 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the column 16. A bracket 20 is fixedly installed at the angle between the frame 17 and the column 16, as well as inside the frame 17. A push rod 21 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the column 16.

[0035] Among them, on one side of the crossbar 15, there is no bracket 20 at the angle where the frame 17 and the column 16 are connected, which allows the crossbar 15 to move upward to the maximum extent, so that the overall height of the equipment does not need to be increased again, thus increasing its stability.

[0036] The surface of the gear shaft 1 is provided with two baffles 2 6 as a group, and the baffles 2 6 are a group or more. The track 2 9 is located between the baffles 2 6. One end of the support rod 2 4 is fixedly provided with a baffle 3 14. The baffle 3 14 and the baffle 1 3 are located at opposite ends of the support rod 2 4.

[0037] Among them, the baffle 2 6 forms a limiting space, the two sides of the track 2 9 are in contact with the baffle 2 6 in a close fit state, the center of the baffle 3 14 is hollowed out, the gear shaft 1 passes through it, the baffle 3 14 and the baffle 1 3 form a limiting space, the gear shaft 2 5, the gear shaft 3 7 and the track 1 8 are all in the limiting space, to prevent the gear shaft 3 7 and the gear shaft 2 5 from shifting during the movement of the equipment, which would cause the track 1 8 and its surface sensor group 12 to shift and affect the experimental data.

[0038] Rollers 18 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of column 16; two or more rollers 18 constitute a group.

[0039] Increasing the contact area between the rollers 18 and the ground can distribute the weight of the equipment, thereby reducing the pressure on the soil, lowering the risk of soil compaction, and playing a role in protecting the soil structure, promoting root development, and increasing crop yield.

[0040] Both ends of gear shaft 1, gear shaft 2, gear shaft 3, sensor group 12, and counterweight 13 are located on the outside of column 16. Sensor group 12 and counterweight 13 have equal weight and are symmetrical about their center of gravity relative to the vertical plane of the track.

[0041] The total weight of the phenotypic sensor group 12 and the connecting rod 19 is equal to that of the counterweight 13, so that the phenotypic sensor group 12 and the counterweight 13 always maintain equal weight on both sides of the device when they move, and will not tilt, thus preventing errors in the collection of plant information.

[0042] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0043] In operation, motor 22 is electrically connected to an external power supply. Motor 22 rotates in the same direction, driving gear shaft 1 to rotate in the same direction, which in turn drives track 9 and the phenotypic sensor group 12 to rotate in the same direction. Simultaneously, gear shaft 5, meshing with gear shaft 1, rotates in the opposite direction under the drive of the gears, thus driving gear shaft 7 and track 8, which is fitted onto the outer surface of gear shaft 7, to rotate in the opposite direction to gear shaft 1. Therefore, track 8 and track 9 rotate in opposite directions. The phenotypic sensor group 12 is located on the lower outer surface of track 8 for convenient collection of information from the plants below. To maintain equipment balance, counterweight 13... The position needs to be set relative to the phenotypic sensor group 12. In order to ensure that the counterweight 13 and the phenotypic sensor group 12 are always symmetrical and do not affect each other's trajectory when they move, the counterweight 13 is set on the lower inner surface of the track 2 9. Therefore, the phenotypic sensor group 12 can maintain balance no matter where it moves, without having to consider the position of the outer frame. For corn plants that exceed the boundary of the outer frame, the complete phenotypic data of these plants can also be obtained. It is no longer necessary to frequently reposition the device or add multiple devices, thus reducing workload and cost. After collecting the plant information of one area, the researchers push the device to move as a whole by pushing the push rod 21 to collect the plant information of the next area.

[0044] The installation method, connection method, or setting method disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connections.

[0045] Any connection method that can achieve its beneficial effect can be implemented. In addition, all electrical components in this embodiment are electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming. Moreover, the existing public power connection technology is also common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
