Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of plant sampling technology, specifically relating to a tomato leaf sampling device. Background Technology

[0002] Tomatoes are one of the world's most important crops, widely loved for their rich nutritional value. However, tomato diseases have a serious impact on their yield and quality. Extracting nucleic acids from leaf samples and conducting molecular marker detection is crucial for timely monitoring of disease occurrence and analysis of disease types.

[0003] Existing leaf sampling techniques have the following problems: 1. Current tomato leaf sampling requires cutting appropriately sized leaves with scissors, curling them, and collecting them in centrifuge tubes. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to cross-contamination due to human factors. 2. Existing plant leaf sampling devices use perforation or cutting to collect samples. These devices are difficult to clean, and multiple samples may contain sap from other leaves, leading to cross-contamination and affecting subsequent testing. 3. Existing samplers do not consider sampling leaves with highly infectious diseases. If the sampler is not thoroughly disinfected, it can become a source of disease transmission, causing large-scale outbreaks of tomato diseases and affecting tomato yield. 4. Existing samplers temporarily store samples after collection, which may lead to sample contamination during transportation, thus affecting test results. Utility Model Content

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1-3As shown, a tomato leaf sampling device includes a sampler 1 and a pressing device for the sampler 1. The sampler 1 is placed on the pressing device. The pressing device includes a base 2, a connecting rod 3, a support rod 4, and a pressing rod 5. The surface of the base 2 is provided with a fixing groove 6 that is adapted to the bottom of the sampler 1. The bottom of the connecting rod 3 is fixed on the base 2. One end of the support rod 4 is fixed to the top of the connecting rod 3. The support rod 4 is provided with a through hole 7. The pressing rod 5 is provided with a sliding groove 8 and one end of the pressing rod 5 is rotatably connected to the support rod 4.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a spring 9 is connected between the pressure rod 5 and the support rod 4. The spring 9 is located near the connecting rod 3. One end of the spring 9 is fixed to the spring fixing buckle 10 on the inner side of the pressure rod 5, and the other end of the spring 9 is fixed to the spring fixing buckle 10 on the upper surface of the support rod 4.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the pressure rod 5 is open, and the two sides of the open end of the pressure rod 5 are sleeved on both sides of one end of the support rod 4 and are rotatably connected to the support rod 4 through the shaft pin 11.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the sampler 1 is a 2mL centrifuge tube, which is existing technology, and its structure will not be described in detail here.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the width of the sliding groove 8 matches the diameter of the centrifuge tube cap. During sampling, the centrifuge tube cap slides into the sliding groove 8.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner diameter of the through hole 7 is 12mm, and the inner diameter of the through hole 7 matches the outer diameter of the centrifuge tube.
