[0002] As a globally important sugar crop and bioenergy raw material, the healthy development of sugarcane cultivation is of great significance for ensuring sugar supply and promoting the utilization of renewable energy. During sugarcane cultivation, the quality of the seed stalks directly determines the germination rate, growth rate, and final yield of the sugarcane. Therefore, accurate and efficient testing of sugarcane seed stalks is a crucial link in the sugarcane cultivation industry.
[0003] Traditional methods for detecting sugarcane seed stalks mainly rely on manual visual inspection. This method is not only inefficient and difficult to meet the needs of large-scale planting, but the test results are also greatly affected by subjective factors such as the experience and fatigue of the testers, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of the test.
[0004] In terms of environmental control, the growth and development of sugarcane seed stalks are greatly affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and light. However, most existing testing equipment does not have a dedicated environmental simulation device, making it impossible to test the seed stalks under different environmental conditions and to assess the adaptability and growth potential of the seed stalks in different environments.
[0005] To address these issues, we have proposed a multifunctional sugarcane seed stalk detection device. Summary of the Invention

[0021] 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.
[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3 A multifunctional sugarcane seed stalk detection device includes a conveyor belt 1 and a plant cultivation box 2. During device assembly, the conveyor belt 1 passes through the plant cultivation box 2. The placement groove on the surface of the conveyor belt 1 can accurately pass through the shooting area of the high-definition camera 13 inside the plant cultivation box 2. A receiving frame 4 is installed on the left side of the conveyor belt 1. A fixing plate 5 is welded to the top left side of the receiving frame 4, and multiple electric push rods 6 are installed on the right side of the fixing plate 5. A partition is welded in the middle of the receiving frame 4, and a receiving plate 14 is welded on the partition. Multiple first receiving plates 10 are slidably connected to the top of the receiving plate 14. A second receiving plate 12 is welded to the top right side of the receiving frame 4. Baffles 9 are welded to both sides of the first receiving plate 10 and the second receiving plate 12. A connecting frame 8 is installed on the two baffles 9 on the first receiving plate 10. The connecting frame 8 is connected to the output end of the electric push rod 6 through a connecting rod 7.
[0023] In use, the sugarcane seed stalk to be tested is placed in the placement slot of conveyor belt 1. The drive mechanism of conveyor belt 1 is started, causing the seed stalk to enter the plant cultivation box 2 along with conveyor belt 1. Image recognition technology can be used, at which time the high-definition camera 13 inside the plant cultivation box 2 takes pictures of the appearance of the seed stalk to detect whether the seed stalk has surface damage, pests, or other defects. After the test is completed, conveyor belt 1 transports the seed stalk to the receiving frame 4. If the seed stalk passes the test, the PLC controller controls the electric push rod 6 to retract, which in turn drives the first receiving plate 10 to move through the connecting rod 7, connecting frame 8, and baffle 9, so that the first receiving plate 10 is disengaged from conveyor belt 1. At this time, the seed stalk falls into the second receiving plate 12 below, and then slides into the recycling box 3 on the right side of the receiving frame 4 for subsequent planting. If the seed stalk fails the test, the PLC controller controls the electric push rod 6 to extend, pushing the first receiving plate 10 to slide towards the side of the conveyor belt 1, so that the unqualified seed stalk falls onto the receiving plate 14 through the first receiving plate 10. Afterwards, as the output end of the electric push rod 6 retracts, the first receiving plate 10 can be moved through the connecting rod 7, the connecting frame 8, and the baffle 9. The first receiving plate 10 can push the unqualified sugarcane seed stalk that falls on the receiving plate 14 into the recycling box 3 on the other side, realizing the classification and recycling of qualified and unqualified seed stalks.
[0024] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1-3 This embodiment focuses on evaluating the growth potential of sugarcane seed stalks under different environmental conditions. In the device preparation stage, the components are assembled in the same way as described above, and the temperature, humidity and light intensity of the plant cultivation box 2 are adjusted to the first set of set values to simulate a specific growth environment.
[0025] Sugarcane seed stalks are placed in the placement trough of conveyor belt 1. The device is started, and the seed stalks are driven into plant cultivation box 2 by conveyor belt 1. Inside plant cultivation box 2, high-definition camera 13 not only captures the appearance of the seed stalks, but also observes the physiological response of the seed stalks under different environmental conditions in combination with the environmental parameters inside the box. For example, it can observe the germination and growth rate of the seed stalks under specific temperature, humidity and light conditions. After a period of observation, conveyor belt 1 transports the seed stalks to receiving frame 4, and the seed stalks are classified and recycled according to their performance in different environments.
[0026] Then, adjust the temperature, humidity, and light intensity of the plant culture box 2 to the second set of values, and repeat the above operation to test the same or different batches of sugarcane seed tubers under different environmental conditions, so as to comprehensively evaluate the growth potential and environmental adaptability of the seed tubers.
[0027] Example 3: Please refer to Figures 1-3 This embodiment is used for long-term monitoring and dynamic evaluation of sugarcane seed stalks. After the device is assembled, the plant culture box 2 is set to environmental conditions suitable for the growth of sugarcane seed stalks, and the temperature, humidity and light intensity are kept stable.
[0028] Sugarcane seed stalks are placed in the placement trough of conveyor belt 1. The device is started, and the seed stalks enter the plant cultivation box 2. The high-definition camera 13 periodically takes pictures of the seed stalks to record their growth process, such as germination time, leaf growth, and changes in stem thickness. The PLC controller controls the action of the electric push rod 6 according to the preset time interval to receive and classify the seed stalks that have grown to a certain stage from the conveyor belt 1.
[0029] For example, after the seed stalks sprout, they are transferred from conveyor belt 1 to a recycling box 3 to continue observing the growth of the seedlings. When the seedlings grow to a certain height or show other specific growth characteristics, they are transferred to another recycling box 3 so that the seed stalks at different growth stages can be studied and treated separately. In this way, long-term monitoring and dynamic evaluation of sugarcane seed stalks can be achieved, providing more comprehensive seed stalk quality information for sugarcane planting.
[0030] Example 4: Please refer to Figures 1-3 In practical applications, in order to improve detection efficiency and accuracy, multiple detection functions can be combined. During device assembly, the drive mechanism of conveyor belt 1, electric push rod 6, plant culture box 2 and high-definition camera 13 are all accurately connected and debugged with PLC controller.
[0031] In use, the sugarcane seed stalks are first inspected for appearance. The seed stalks are placed on conveyor belt 1, and the appearance image is captured by high-definition camera 13 inside the plant cultivation box 2 to detect surface defects. Then, the environmental parameters of the plant cultivation box 2 are adjusted to simulate different growth environments. The physiological response of the seed stalks under different conditions is observed to evaluate their growth potential. During the inspection process, the PLC controller controls the action of the electric push rod 6 in real time according to the inspection results to achieve the classification and recycling of qualified and unqualified seed stalks as well as seed stalks at different growth stages.
[0032] For example, seed stalks that meet the appearance requirements but grow poorly under specific conditions can be collected separately for further analysis of the causes. This comprehensive testing method fully leverages the multifunctional advantages of the device and improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of sugarcane seed stalk testing.
[0033] Implementation Results: In terms of detection function, the conveyor belt 1 is equipped with a placement trough to transport sugarcane seed stalks in an orderly manner. The plant cultivation box 2 is equipped with a high-definition camera 13 that can accurately capture the appearance of the seed stalks. It can also flexibly adjust the temperature, humidity and light intensity to simulate different growth environments and comprehensively evaluate the quality of the seed stalks, including their appearance, growth potential and adaptability to the environment, providing rich and accurate seed stalk quality information for sugarcane planting.
[0034] In terms of seed stem processing and operational convenience, the receiving frame 4, together with the electric push rod 6, the first receiving plate 10 and the second receiving plate 12, can efficiently classify and recycle qualified and unqualified seed stems. The inclined first receiving plate 10 and the second receiving plate 12 located below it make the seed stems slide down more smoothly. Handles are installed on the recycling frame 3 and the box cover 11 for easy picking and putting. All components are uniformly controlled by a PLC controller, with a high degree of automation, reducing manual intervention, improving detection efficiency and accuracy, reducing labor intensity, and effectively meeting the sugarcane planting industry's requirements for efficient and accurate seed stem detection.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
