[0025] 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.
[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a visual inspection device for planting Cyclocarya paliurus includes:
[0027] The frame 1 has a mounting plate 2 fixedly installed at its upper end;
[0028] The balancing mechanism is used to maintain the horizontal stability of the detection mechanism. It includes a column 3 and telescopic components 4. The column 3 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting plate 2. The upper end of the column 3 is connected to a support plate through a spherical hinge 5. Several telescopic components 4 are provided, all located at the lower edge of the support plate. For example, the support plate is rectangular, and four telescopic components 4 are installed at the four corners of the lower end of the support plate. By adjusting the extension and retraction of each telescopic component 4, the support plate moves around the spherical hinge 5 and finally reaches a horizontal state. To reduce the horizontal rotation of the support plate, the spherical hinge 5 is preferably a damped type.
[0029] The testing mechanism includes a first bracket 6 and a second bracket 7 fixedly mounted on the upper part of the support plate. A pulley 8 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 6, and a slide rail 9 is fixedly mounted on the second bracket 7. A slider 10 is slidably connected to the slide rail 9. A rotating plate 11 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the slider 10. A camera 12 is mounted on the lower end of the rotating plate 11, and a rolling support 13 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the rotating plate 11. A roller 14 is mounted on the rolling support 13, and a thin rope 15 is wound around the roller 14. The end of the thin rope 15 passes around the pulley 8 and is fixedly connected to a plumb line. Through this technical solution, due to the traction of the plumb line, the vertical thin rope 15 is always included in the field of view of the camera 12 as its position changes. The camera 12 takes multiple images of the *Eucommia ulmoides* seedlings and the vertical thin rope 15 (i.e., the plumb line) as it moves with the slider 10. Each set of images is superimposed using double exposure, and the angle data between the plumb line and the seedlings is measured. The verticality of the seedlings was evaluated by analyzing data from multiple angles, thus completing the vertical detection of *Cyclocarya paliurus* seedlings. It should be noted that the camera 12 maintains a certain distance from the seedling to ensure that the seedling can be continuously captured as the camera 12 moves.
[0030] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the telescopic assembly 4 includes an electric actuator 401. The fixed end of the electric actuator 401 is mounted on the mounting plate 2, and the telescopic end of the electric actuator 401 is equipped with a ball wheel 402. The ball wheel 402 contacts the lower end of the support plate. By using the ball wheel 402, when the electric actuator 401 pushes the edge of the support plate, the ball wheel 402 contacts and rolls with the lower end of the support plate, thereby reducing the impact of friction between the telescopic assembly 4 and the support plate on the balance adjustment of the support plate.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a pair of wheels 17 and a positioning assembly are mounted on the lower end of the frame 1. The positioning assembly includes a connecting block that passes through the mounting plate 2. The connecting block has a first threaded hole, and a screw 18 is threaded into the first threaded hole. A cone is fixedly connected to the lower end of the screw 18. The wheels 17 are used to improve the mobility of the device and facilitate site relocation. After the device position is confirmed, the cone 19 can be inserted into the soil. Alternatively, the screw 18 can be turned to adjust the downward extension of the cone 19 according to the flatness of the soil.
[0032] like Figure 2 , 3As shown, the slider 10 has a second threaded hole, and a servo motor is mounted on the second bracket 7. The output end of the servo motor is driven by a lead screw 21, which is parallel to the slide rail 9. The lead screw 21 passes through the second threaded hole and is threadedly connected to it. The closed-loop transmission system of the servo motor and the lead screw 21 ensures that the movement trajectory of the camera 12 on the slide rail 9 is strictly linear, avoiding positional deviation during image acquisition. In addition, the threaded fit can eliminate backlash and prevent the slider 10 from shaking when changing direction. A micro motor 22 is mounted on the side wall of the rolling support 13. The output end of the micro motor 22 is driven by the roller 14, and the roller 14 is rotated by the micro motor 22 to realize the storage of the thin rope 15.
[0033] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, a gripping elbow 23 is fixedly installed on the side end of the frame 1, and both ends of the gripping elbow 23 are rotatably connected to the frame 1. The rotatable design of the gripping elbow 23 facilitates manual transfer of the device by people of different heights.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the upper surface of the support plate is engraved with a rectangular coordinate system 24. When the support plate is horizontal, the plumb bob is located directly above the origin of the rectangular coordinate system 24. The extension of each telescopic component 4 can be adjusted according to the position of the lower end of the plumb bob on the rectangular coordinate system 24 until the plumb bob is directly above the origin of the rectangular coordinate system 24, thus completing the horizontal adjustment of the support plate.
[0035] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
