[0022] Example
[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses a corn plant photography device, including a telescopic screen 1, a telescopic rod 2, and a telescopic support rod 3 set at the bottom of the telescopic rod 2. The telescopic rod 2 includes a telescopic upright rod 201 and a telescopic crossbar 202. The height of the telescopic upright rod 201 can be adjusted according to different plant heights. Several plant fixing clips 4 are fixedly installed on the telescopic upright rod 201 to fix the corn plants and prevent them from falling over, making the measurement data more accurate. The telescopic crossbar 202 is located at the top of the telescopic upright rod 201 and is perpendicular to the telescopic upright rod 201. The telescopic screen 2 is suspended from the end of the telescopic crossbar 202 by a movable connection, such as a screen hook. In this embodiment, a screen hook 5 is used. The screen hook 5 allows the telescopic screen 1 to move within a certain range to realize operations such as unfolding, retracting, or changing the hanging angle. At the same time, the telescopic screen 1 is pulled out and retracted in the horizontal direction by the extension and retraction of the telescopic crossbar 202, thereby realizing horizontal displacement adjustment and making the measurement more accurate.
[0024] Telescopic support rod 3 includes telescopic support rod one 301, telescopic support rod two 302, and telescopic support rod three 303. Telescopic support rod one 301, telescopic support rod two 302, and telescopic support rod three 303 are evenly distributed around the circumference of telescopic support rod 201 and are rotatably connected to telescopic support rod 201. They can adjust the height and angle to suit different terrains and plant heights.
[0025] The bottom of telescopic support rod 1 (301), telescopic support rod 2 (302), and telescopic support rod 3 (303) are all equipped with anti-slip pads or fixed cones to ensure the stability of the device.
[0026] The telescopic curtain 1 includes a curtain storage housing 101 and a curtain fabric 102. A retraction roller 105 is installed inside the curtain storage housing 101. Both ends of the retraction roller 105 are connected to one end of a retraction spring 106, and the other end of the retraction spring 106 is connected to the curtain fabric 102. The curtain fabric 102 is wound around the retraction roller 105. In use, the curtain fabric 102 is manually pulled out, unfolding the curtain. The unfolded telescopic fabric 102 is perpendicular to the ground and fixed, allowing for more stable measurement. After use, the curtain fabric automatically retracts back into the curtain storage housing due to the torque of the retraction spring. A height measurement scale 103 is printed vertically on one side of the curtain fabric 102, providing a reference for accurate measurement of corn plant height.
[0027] The curtain fabric 102 is provided with fixing clip holes 104 for the plant fixing clips 4 to pass through. The length of the plant fixing clips 4 can pass through the fixing clip holes 104 so that the corn plants can be fixed in front of the telescopic curtain 1. The fixing clip holes 104 are located on the central axis of the curtain fabric 102 and are equal in number to the number of plant fixing clips 4. This allows the corn plants to be in the center of the curtain fabric 102 during measurement, so as to facilitate the comparison of images later.
[0028] The backdrop fabric 102 includes different background colors that can be changed as needed to achieve the best shooting visual effect.
[0029] The implementation steps of this utility model are as follows:
[0030] Step 1. Place the tripod next to the corn plant to be tested, and adjust the length and angle of the telescopic support rod to stabilize the device;
[0031] Step 2. Pull out the telescopic screen and secure it so that the telescopic screen is perpendicular to the ground;
[0032] Step 3. Use plant clamps to secure the corn plants to the telescopic screen, ensuring the plants are upright;
[0033] Step 4. Adjust the camera position and angle to make the corn plants and the scale on the screen clearly visible, and take a photo to record the event.
[0034] Therefore, the corn plant photography auxiliary device of this utility model with the above-mentioned structure is simple in structure, easy to operate, and easy to carry and install; the height and angle can be adjusted to adapt to different terrains and plant heights; a scale reference is provided for convenient and accurate measurement of corn plant height; different colored backgrounds can be replaced to achieve the best shooting effect; the corn plant is fixed to prevent it from falling over and to ensure the photographic effect.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
