Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an automatic identification technology for early-stage crop diseases and pests, specifically a crop disease and pest identification sampling device. Background Technology
[0002] During the cultivation of crops, pests and diseases are inevitable. Traditional pest and disease control often relies on manual inspection, which not only consumes a lot of manpower and time, but is also highly subjective and lacks accuracy, making it difficult to detect potential pests and diseases in a timely manner. Therefore, automated pest and disease identification technology has emerged. It uses image recognition technology to mark and identify crops, pre-records and stores the status of plants with pests and diseases in the system, takes pictures of the existing plants with morphology through camera equipment, and then performs comprehensive comparison in the database to determine whether pests and diseases exist and the specific types of pests and diseases, providing a reliable basis for early warning.
[0003] Pests and diseases can cause different parts of a plant to exhibit corresponding morphological, color, and texture characteristics. These characteristics may be difficult to accurately identify with human vision alone, thus requiring image acquisition equipment. This is typically done using cameras or webcams for image capture and comparison. Currently, there are generally two main methods: large-scale overall imaging and precise imaging of specific plant parts. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. For precise imaging, the appearance of the images can vary depending on the photographer's skill level, lighting, and background, potentially leading to errors in comparison. Therefore, standardized imaging is beneficial for pest and disease identification. However, if plants are harvested and photographed uniformly, the varying degrees of water deprivation at different harvest times can affect the comparison of sampled images, causing some errors.
[0004] In conclusion, if a sampling device that can be designed to both collect samples instantly and be easily held in the hand, it would be extremely beneficial for the identification and sampling of crop diseases and pests. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This utility model is a sampling device for identifying crop diseases and pests. It has a compact overall structure, is easy to carry, and can take real-time pictures of different parts of crop plants, providing a good device for identifying and sampling crop diseases and pests.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A crop pest and disease identification and sampling device includes a sampling part and a clamping part located at the bottom of the sampling part. The sampling part is equipped with a shooting device. The clamping part is located at the bottom of the sampling part and moves up and down within the sampling part. The clamping part clamps the corresponding part of the crop at the bottom of the sampling part and then performs a shooting and sampling operation.
[0008] The sampling unit includes a housing, a conical guide tube at the top of the housing, a shooting device (a camera or video camera) at the top of the guide tube, a light-transmitting plate at the bottom of the housing, and evenly distributed supplementary lights on the inner wall of the guide tube; and handheld parts on both sides of the housing.
[0009] The clamping part includes a lifting bracket and a support plate located at the bottom of the lifting bracket. The lifting bracket is located inside the housing. Guide posts are evenly distributed at the four corners inside the housing. The lifting bracket includes a ring plate and a sliding sleeve located on the ring plate. The outer edge of the ring plate is attached to the inner wall of the housing. The sliding sleeve corresponds to the guide posts. Through the cooperation of the sliding sleeve and the guide posts, the lifting bracket slides up and down inside the housing. The lower part of the sliding sleeve extends out of the light-transmitting plate at the bottom of the housing, and the support plate is installed at the bottom of the sliding sleeve.
[0010] The sliding sleeve is equipped with a support spring, and the top of the support spring supports the bottom of the guide post.
[0011] Furthermore, connecting rods are provided on both sides of the ring plate, and vertical sliding grooves are provided on the corresponding housings. A handle is provided at the end of the connecting rod; when the ring plate moves up and down, the connecting rod slides up and down in the sliding groove.
[0012] The tray and the light-transmitting plate are arranged parallel to each other. The sliding sleeve at the bottom of the lifting bracket is a single-sided structure with two sliding sleeves. The two sliding sleeves are located on the left or right side corresponding to the hand handle, and the other side is an open structure. A positioning sleeve is provided on the side of the ring plate where no sliding sleeve is provided, corresponding to the guide post.
[0013] The sliding sleeve has four corresponding to the guide post. The bottom of the two sliding sleeves on one side is provided with a crossbeam, and the support plate is hinged to the crossbeam. A pressure plate extends from the outside of the support plate. The pressure plate and the hand-held part are located on the same side. A torsion spring is provided on the crossbeam to drive the support plate. The torsion spring acts on the pressure plate extending from the support plate, so that the free end of the support plate is supported to the opposite end of the sliding sleeve.
[0014] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a vertical screw, and the end of the screw is provided with a knob. The knob is located outside the housing. The screw corresponds to the ring plate, and a nut is provided on the ring plate at the position corresponding to the screw. The screw passes through the nut. Rotating the knob drives the screw to rotate, thereby driving the nut to move up and down synchronously with the ring plate.
[0015] The present invention, by adopting the above-described technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This device has a simple overall structure, enabling handheld sampling without damaging the plant. It can be directly attached to the plant to take pictures of its leaves or stems.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The descriptions of directions such as up, down, left, right, front, and back presented in the specific embodiments are only for the purpose of describing the technical solution and are not absolute limitations unless otherwise stated. Example
[0023] like Figures 1-3 The present invention relates to a crop disease and pest identification and sampling device, which includes a sampling part 1 and a clamping part 2 located at the bottom of the sampling part 1. The sampling part 1 is equipped with a shooting device 3. The clamping part 2 is located at the bottom of the sampling part 1 and moves up and down within the sampling part 1. After the clamping part 2 clamps the corresponding part of the crop at the bottom of the sampling part 1, the shooting and sampling operation is performed.
[0024] The sampling unit 1 includes a housing 101, a conical guide tube 102 at the top of the housing 101, a shooting device 2 at the top of the guide tube 102 (which is a camera or video camera), a light-transmitting plate 103 at the bottom of the housing 101, and evenly distributed supplementary lights 104 on the inner wall of the guide tube 102; and handheld parts 105 on both sides of the housing 101.
[0025] The clamping part 2 includes a lifting bracket 201 and a support plate 202 disposed at the bottom of the lifting bracket 201. The lifting bracket 201 is disposed inside the housing 101. The housing 101 has guide posts 106 evenly distributed at its four corners. The lifting bracket 201 includes a ring plate 2011 and a sliding sleeve 2012 disposed on the ring plate 2011. The outer edge of the ring plate 2011 is attached to the inner wall of the housing 101. The sliding sleeve 2012 corresponds to the guide posts 106. Through the cooperation of the sliding sleeve 2012 and the guide posts 106, the lifting bracket 201 slides up and down inside the housing 101. The lower part of the sliding sleeve 2012 protrudes outside the light-transmitting plate 103 at the bottom of the housing 101. The support plate 202 is installed at the bottom of the sliding sleeve 2012.
[0026] The sliding sleeve 2012 is provided with a support spring 2013, and the top of the support spring 2013 supports the bottom of the guide post 106.
[0027] Furthermore, the ring plate 2011 is provided with connecting rods 2014 on both sides, and the corresponding housing 101 is provided with vertical sliding grooves 107. The end of the connecting rod 2014 is provided with a handle 2015. When the ring plate 2011 moves up and down, the connecting rod 2014 slides up and down in the sliding groove 107.
[0028] The tray 202 is arranged parallel to the light-transmitting plate 103. The sliding sleeve 2012 at the bottom of the lifting bracket 201 is a single-sided structure. There are two sliding sleeves 2012, which are located on the left or right side corresponding to the hand handle 105. The other side is an open structure. On the side of the ring plate 2011 where the sliding sleeve 2012 is not provided, a positioning sleeve 2016 is provided at the position corresponding to the guide post 106.
[0029] In this embodiment, when sampling crops, the crops are placed between the tray and the light-transmitting plate from the open end of the tray. Then, the handle is held by hand and pulled upward to clamp the sampling part between the two, and then the sample is taken by taking a picture. Example
[0030] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sliding sleeve 2012 has four corresponding to the guide post 106. The bottom of the two sliding sleeves 2012 on one side is provided with a crossbeam 2017. The support plate 202 is hinged to the crossbeam 2017. A pressure plate 203 extends from the outside of the support plate 202. The pressure plate 203 is located on the same side as the hand handle 105. A torsion spring 204 is provided on the crossbeam 2017 to drive the support plate 202. The torsion spring 204 acts on the pressure plate 203 extending from the support plate 202, so that the free end of the support plate 202 is supported to the end of the opposite sliding sleeve 2012.
[0031] Furthermore, the housing 101 is provided with a vertical screw 108, and the end of the screw 108 is provided with a knob 109. The knob 109 is located outside the housing 101. The screw 108 corresponds to the ring plate 2011, and a nut 2018 is provided on the ring plate 2011 at the position corresponding to the screw 108. The screw 108 passes through the nut 2018. Rotating the knob 109 drives the screw 108 to rotate, thereby driving the nut 2018 to move up and down synchronously with the ring plate 2011.
[0032] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the structure of the tray is changed to a clamping structure similar to a clip. This improvement improves overall stability and allows for larger sampling areas during use. In specific use, the distance between the tray and the light-transmitting plate can be adjusted according to the size of the sampling area. Turning the knob drives the screw to rotate, which in turn causes the ring plate to rise and fall inside the housing, thereby adjusting the distance between the tray and the light-transmitting plate. Then, holding the handle, the pressure plate is pulled upwards to open the other side of the tray to clamp the sampling area before taking the picture.
[0033] The sampling device corresponding to this utility model is both portable and has good sampling effect. It can capture comparison sample images with a clean background, which helps to ensure the accuracy of subsequent comparisons.
