[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-14 A high-throughput phenotyping device based on a gantry structure includes two sets of uprights 1 and two first crossbars 2. The two sets of uprights 1 are respectively installed at the bottom ends of the two first crossbars 2. A second crossbar 3 is provided at the top of the two first crossbars 2. The second crossbar 3 moves back and forth at the top of the two first crossbars 2 through a first drive mechanism provided at both ends. A second moving plate 8 is provided on one side of the second crossbar 3. The second moving plate 8 moves back and forth on one side of the second crossbar 3 through a second drive mechanism. A sleeve plate 21 is installed on the outer wall of the side of the second moving plate 8 away from the second crossbar 3. A vertical rod 4 is slidably installed inside the sleeve plate 21. A mounting plate 22 is installed at the bottom end of the vertical rod 4. A camera 23 is installed on one outer wall of the mounting plate 22. A third drive mechanism is provided inside the sleeve plate 21 for driving the vertical rod 4 to move the camera 23 up and down together. In this embodiment, the camera 23 can be an RGB camera, a multispectral camera, a hyperspectral camera, or a thermal imaging camera. It can be flexibly replaced according to actual usage requirements. An integrated industrial control computer is provided on the side of the mounting plate 22 away from the camera 23, so that the camera 23 has real-time data processing and storage capabilities.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the first driving mechanism includes first movable plates 14 installed at the bottom of both ends of the second crossbar 3. Multiple first sliders 16 are installed at the bottom of each of the two first movable plates 14, and first slide rails 11, which slide in cooperation with the multiple first sliders 16, are installed at the top of each of the two first crossbars 2. The multiple first sliders 16 at the bottom of the first movable plates 14 slide in cooperation with the first slide rails 11 at the top of the first crossbars 2, thereby limiting and guiding the back-and-forth movement of the first movable plates 14 at the top of the first crossbars 2.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a first rack 12 is installed inside each of the two first crossbars 2, and a first drive motor 7 is installed on the top of each of the two first moving plates 14. The output ends of the two first drive motors 7 are installed through the first moving plates 14 and mesh with the first gears 15. After the first drive motors 7 are started, they can drive the first gears 12 to rotate. Since the first rack 12 is fixedly set inside the first crossbars 2, when the first gear 15 is driven by the first drive motors 7 to rotate forward and backward, it will drive itself to move forward or backward along the first rack 12, thereby driving the first moving plates 14 to move synchronously on the top of the first slide rails 11, and thus driving the second crossbar 3 to move back and forth on the top of the two first crossbars 2, realizing the X-axis movement adjustment of multiple components such as the second crossbar 3, the vertical bar 4, and the camera 23.

[0037] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a first rectangular plate 5 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the first crossbar 2, and a first drag chain 6 is installed on one end of the second crossbar 3 near the first rectangular plate 5. The first drag chain 6 is placed on the top of the first rectangular plate 5.

[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the second driving mechanism includes a plurality of second sliders 25 mounted on the outer wall of the second moving plate 8 near the second crossbar 3, and two second slide rails 17 mounted on the side of the second crossbar 3 near the second moving plate 8. The plurality of second sliders 25 are slidably connected to the corresponding second slide rails 17. The plurality of second sliders 25 on one side of the outer wall of the second moving plate 8 and the second slide rails 17 mounted on one side of the outer wall of the second crossbar 3 are slidably engaged, which can limit and guide the back and forth movement of the second moving plate 8 on one side of the outer wall of the second crossbar 3.

[0039] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a second drive motor 20 is installed on the outer wall of the second moving plate 8 near the sleeve plate 21. The output end of the second drive motor 20 passes through the second moving plate 8 and is equipped with a second gear 24. A second rack 18 is installed on the outer wall of the second crossbar 3 near the second moving plate 8. The second gear 24 meshes with the second rack 18. After the second drive motor 20 is started, it can drive the second gear 24 to rotate. Since the second rack 18 is fixedly set inside the second crossbar 3, during the forward and reverse rotation of the second gear 24 driven by the second drive motor 20, it will drive itself to move left or right along the second rack 18, thereby driving the second moving plate 8 to move synchronously on the second slide rail 17, and then driving the second moving plate 8 to move back and forth on one side of the second crossbar 3, realizing the Y-axis movement adjustment of multiple components such as the second moving plate 8, the vertical rod 4, and the camera 23.

[0040] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a second rectangular plate 10 is installed on the outer wall of the second crossbar 3 away from the second moving plate 8, a second drag chain 9 is installed on the outer wall of the second moving plate 8 close to the second crossbar 3, the second drag chain 9 is placed on the top of the second rectangular plate 10, and a third drag chain 13 is also installed on the outer wall of the second moving plate 8 away from the second crossbar 3.

[0041] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a third slide rail 28 is installed on one outer wall of the vertical rod 4, and the inner wall of one side of the sleeve plate 21 is slidably engaged with the third slide rail 28. The slidable connection between the inner wall of one side of the sleeve plate 21 and the third slide rail 28 can guide and limit the up-and-down movement of the vertical rod 4 inside the sleeve plate 21.

[0042] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the third drive mechanism includes a third drive motor 26 installed on the outer wall of one side of the sleeve plate 21. The output end of the third drive motor 26 passes through the sleeve plate 21 and is equipped with a third gear. A third rack 27 is installed on the outer wall of one side of the vertical rod 4. The third gear meshes with the third rack 27. The third gear is located inside the sleeve plate 21, and its driving method is the same as that of the first gear 15 and the second gear 24 mentioned above. Therefore, the position of the third gear is not marked in the figure. The specific driving method of the third gear is to drive it to rotate forward and backward inside the sleeve plate 21 by the drive of the third drive motor 26. Since the third rack 27 is fixedly set on one side of the vertical rod 4, when the third gear is driven by the third drive motor 26 to rotate forward and backward, it will drive itself to move up or down along the third rack 27, thereby driving the vertical rod 4 to move up and down synchronously inside the sleeve plate 21, realizing the Z-axis movement adjustment of the vertical rod 4 and multiple components such as the camera 23.

[0043] In this embodiment, during the operation of the electrically driven equipment such as the first drive motor 7, the second drive motor 20, and the third drive motor 26, the related cable harnesses need to move and bend frequently, which may lead to wear and damage to the cable harnesses. However, by setting up the first cable chain 6, the second cable chain 9, and the third cable chain 13, and installing the required various lines inside the first cable chain 6, the bending and pulling of the cable harnesses and wear can be reduced, thereby extending the service life of the cable harnesses. Furthermore, the first cable chain 6, the second cable chain 9, and the third cable chain 13 can withstand mechanical movement and vibration, preventing the cables and harnesses from loosening or falling off during equipment operation, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the equipment. In addition, the first cable chain 6, the second cable chain 9, and the third cable chain 13 typically have low noise and vibration reduction characteristics, which helps to reduce the noise and vibration generated during equipment operation and improve the user experience of the equipment.

[0044] In this invention, when it is necessary to use the camera 23 to detect plants at different positions and heights, the first drive motor 7 is activated to rotate the first gear 15, which in turn drives the first moving plate 14 to move synchronously at the top of the first slide rail 11. This, in turn, causes the second crossbar 3 to move back and forth at the top of the two first crossbars 2, enabling the X-axis movement adjustment of multiple components, including the second crossbar 3, the vertical bar 4, and the camera 23. The plant being photographed is planted in the area below the two first crossbars 2.

[0045] After the second drive motor 20 is started, it can drive the second gear 24 to rotate, which will drive it to move left or right along the second rack 18. This will cause the second moving plate 8 to move synchronously on the second slide rail 17, and then drive the second moving plate 8 to move back and forth on one side of the second crossbar 3, so as to realize the Y-axis movement adjustment of multiple components such as the second moving plate 8, the vertical bar 4 and the camera 23.

[0046] Furthermore, the third drive motor 26 drives the third gear to rotate in both directions inside the sleeve 21, causing it to move up or down along the third rack 27, which in turn drives the vertical rod 4 to move up and down synchronously inside the sleeve 21, thus enabling the vertical rod 4 and multiple components such as the camera 23 to move and adjust in the Z-axis direction.

[0047] During use, the camera 23 can be moved along the X-axis of the second horizontal bar 3, the Y-axis of the second moving plate 8, and the Z-axis of the vertical bar 4, enabling the pod to move precisely in the X, Y, and Z axes. This ensures that the camera 23 can accurately detect plants at different positions and heights. Since the first drive motor 7, the second drive motor 20, and the third drive motor 26 are all servo motors, the stability and repeatability of the relevant components during movement can be ensured by using servo motors in conjunction with guide rails.

[0048] The multi-source data acquisition pod, composed of components such as the vertical rod 4 and camera 23, supports both stationary and dynamic scanning modes to meet diverse detection needs. Camera 23 can be flexibly replaced with an RGB camera, multispectral camera, hyperspectral camera, or thermal imaging camera as required. An industrial control computer is integrated within the pod, providing real-time data processing and storage capabilities. Furthermore, the pod's structural design supports rapid module replacement for easy functional expansion. Equipped with a touch interface and software system, users can easily set the pod's movement trajectory and acquisition parameters. The pod also supports remote data transmission and equipment status monitoring. Through these methods, it can meet the detection needs of different plant species and growth stages.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
