[0009] 1. In this utility model, the side rotating shaft passes through the side sleeve of the mounting plate and connects to the lower connecting block, so that the lower connecting block is connected to the side rotating shaft. The camera mounting plate can rotate above the U-shaped mounting plate. The camera mounting plate rotates around the side rotating shaft. The T-shaped slider passes through the strip-shaped sliding hole and connects to the rectangular mounting plate. The T-shaped slider limits the rectangular mounting plate, preventing it from moving on the strip base plate when taking pictures of the whole soybean plant phenotypic, and also limiting the sliding trajectory of the rectangular mounting plate on the strip base plate. The rotating sleeve is connected to the side connecting ear through the second rotating shaft, so that the lower part of the rotating sleeve is connected to the shaft of the rectangular mounting plate. The rotating sleeve can rotate. The tilting insert plate is inserted into the rotating sleeve, and the tilting insert plate and the rotating sleeve form a telescopic structure. This telescopic structure is positioned by a pin, allowing the height of the entire device to be adjusted during use when photographing the whole soybean plant phenotypic. The sliding insert rod is inserted into the fixed sleeve, and the sliding insert rod and the fixed sleeve form a telescopic rod. This telescopic rod positions the U-shaped mounting plate, keeping the U-shaped mounting plate in the middle position above the strip base plate. The rotating sleeve is designed to be both sliding and rotatable, suitable for the insertion state of the tilting insert plate and the rotating sleeve when adjusting the U-shaped mounting plate up and down during soybean whole plant phenotypic photography.
[0010] 2. The symmetrical rotating sleeve and the side-tilting insert plate of this utility model support the U-shaped mounting plate, ensuring the stability and centering of the U-shaped mounting plate. The moving wheels are installed under the strip base plate, which makes the whole device easy to move when taking pictures of the whole soybean plant. The spring is sleeved on the guide slide rod. The spring applies an upward thrust to the rectangular convex plate with the side plate of the U-shaped mounting plate as the fulcrum, so that the positioning insert plate moves upward and inserts into the strip slot. The side rotating shaft is axially positioned, which in turn positions the camera placement plate axially. This structure allows the camera placement plate to swing and adjust its angle for use with the camera placed on the camera placement plate. When taking pictures of the whole soybean plant, this device assists the camera, allowing the camera to adjust its height and swing angle. Attached Figure Description
