Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of specimen display technology, specifically a three-dimensional medicinal plant specimen preparation device. Background Technology
[0002] Medicinal plant specimen display bottles are containers used to display and preserve medicinal plant specimens. They are typically made of highly transparent materials, such as highly transparent PS plastic or glass, to clearly showcase the details of the plant specimens. These display bottles are designed to preserve the original shape and color of the medicinal plants.
[0003] In existing technologies, traditional medicinal plant specimen preparation often employs a single-plane fixation method. This involves fixing the stem or root of the plant specimen at a single point or height by setting fixing pins or fixing components at a single height on the surface of the specimen table, while the branches and leaves mostly hang down naturally or simply lie flat on the specimen table.
[0004] This single-height fixing method cannot adapt to the natural growth form of plant specimens, especially for shrub-type medicinal plants with multi-branched structures. Their roots, stems, branches, leaves, and flowers are at different heights and spatial angles. A single fixing point can only constrain a certain part of the specimen, causing the branches, leaves, and flowers of the specimen to be squeezed or fall over, making it impossible to maintain a natural and relaxed three-dimensional posture. Problems such as overlapping branches and leaves and distorted shapes are likely to occur, which seriously affect the morphological authenticity and three-dimensional sense of the specimen, making it difficult to fully display the morphological characteristics of medicinal plants and causing inconvenience to scientific research observation and teaching display.
[0005] In light of this, we have developed a three-dimensional device for preparing medicinal plant specimens. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a three-dimensional medicinal plant specimen preparation device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a three-dimensional medicinal plant specimen preparation device, comprising: a base, circular blocks, a support structure, and plant specimens; the base is used to place on an installation foundation, and the top of the base is provided with a disc for mounting the plant specimens, with a groove for placing the roots and stems of the plant specimens opened in the center of the disc surface; the circular blocks are connected at equal intervals on the surface of the base, and the top of the multiple sets of circular blocks is provided with vertical circular rods; the support structure is horizontally arranged between two sets of circular rods, and the support structure includes elastic clamps on the surface of multiple sets of circular rods, with a crossbar between the two sets of elastic clamps, and the surface of the crossbar is provided with an adjustable clamping mechanism. By adjusting the slider of the clamping mechanism and the cooperation of clamp A, clamp A can be used to fix the roots and middle part of the plant specimens in layers, thereby fixing the plant specimens on the top of the disc.
[0008] Preferably, the adjusting clamping mechanism includes a groove on the surface of the crossbar for sliding the slider, the slider sliding inside the groove, a thin rope A on one side of the slider, and a clamp A connected to one end of the thin rope A.
[0009] Preferably, the crossbar surface is connected with multiple sets of elastic ropes at equal intervals, each set of elastic ropes has a positioning pin on one side for fixing the slider, and the positioning pin passes through the crossbar and the slider, and each set of crossbar surfaces has equally spaced insertion holes for inserting the positioning pin.
[0010] Preferably, the support structure includes a protrusion A connected to the side of the elastic clamping block, and a protrusion B aligned with the protrusion A on the other side of the elastic clamping block. A bolt for fixing and disassembling is provided between the protrusion A and the protrusion B.
[0011] Preferably, the inner top of the multiple sets of round rods is provided with a thin rope B, and one end of the thin rope B is provided with a clip B for holding up the branches, leaves and flowers of the plant specimen.
[0012] Preferably, the slider and the round rod are respectively provided with a rope winding structure. The rope winding drum and the winding groove of the rope winding structure are used in combination to wind up the thin rope A, the clamp A, the thin rope B and the clamp B.
[0013] Preferably, the interior of the slider and the round rod includes a take-up wheel connected to one side of the take-up drum. The take-up drum is located inside the slider and the round rod, and a take-up groove is formed on the surface of the take-up drum. The take-up groove is used to collect the thin rope A and the thin rope B. A bearing is provided on the other side of the take-up drum, and the bearing is embedded in the interior of the slider and the round rod respectively.
[0014] Preferably, the disc surface is provided with graduated rings at equal intervals along its edge, allowing observers to appreciate the details of the plant specimen from different perspectives.
[0015] Preferably, the base is provided with a glass cover on top to cover the plant specimen, and the top of the glass cover is provided with a handle for picking it up.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] By employing a layered fixation structure, clip A secures the roots and middle of the stem of the plant specimen in layers, while clip B assists in securing the branches, leaves, and flowers. This allows the plant specimen to be presented in a three-dimensional and natural posture, solving the problem of morphological distortion caused by single-height fixation in specimen fixation methods. It is especially suitable for shrub-type medicinal plant specimens with multi-branched structures, showcasing the three-dimensional layering of the specimen.
[0018] By adjusting the slider in the clamping mechanism, it can slide freely in the groove. With the locking function of the positioning pin, the fixing point of clamp A can be flexibly adjusted according to the spatial position of different parts of the specimen.
[0019] The support structure is detachably connected by bolts, which makes it easy to change or adjust the support height and span according to the size of the specimen, greatly improving the adaptability of the device to different types and forms of medicinal plant specimens.
[0020] The glass cover on top of the base creates a sealed environment, effectively isolating the specimens from external dust, moisture, and insects, thus extending their preservation time. The graduated ring on the edge of the disc provides observers with precise angle references, facilitating clear observation of the plant specimens' detailed features from different perspectives, such as the texture on the back of the leaves and the side morphology of the flowers, thereby enhancing the specimens' display effect and scientific research and teaching value.
[0021] The slider and the inside of the round rod have a rope winding structure. Rotating the winding wheel can drive the winding drum to rotate, so that thin rope A and thin rope B are wound into the winding groove. The bearing reduces mechanical friction during the winding process, making it easy to store and organize the device when it is not in use. Attached Figure Description

[0031] 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.
[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "equipped with", "sleeved with", "connected", etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0033] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a three-dimensional medicinal plant specimen preparation device, including a base 1, which serves as the basic support component of the device and directly contacts the mounting platform, providing a stable foundation for the entire device; the disc 7 on its top holds the plant specimen 100 (such as...). Figure 1 The main support platform (as shown) has a centrally located slot 8 on the surface of the disc 7, which can precisely accommodate plant specimens 100 (such as...). Figure 1 The rootstock portion (as shown) provides reliable support for the initial positioning of the specimen. Meanwhile, the equally spaced graduated rings 9 along the edge of the disc 7 assist the observer in clearly appreciating the plant specimen 100 from different perspectives (such as...). Figure 1 The detailed features (as shown) enhance the observation experience.
[0034] The circular blocks 2 are connected at equal intervals to the surface of the base 1. The vertical circular rods 4 on the top of the multiple sets of circular blocks 2 form the main support frame of the device, providing an installation carrier for the support structure 3. The support structure 3 is horizontally mounted between the two sets of circular rods 4. It is flexibly connected and fixed to the circular rods 4 through the elastic clamps 31. The protrusion A33 on the side of the elastic clamps 31 is aligned with the protrusion B34 on the other side. With the help of bolts 35, the support structure 3 can be quickly fixed and disassembled, which makes it easy to flexibly adjust the support position according to the specimen size.
[0035] The crossbar 311 between the two sets of elastic clamping blocks 31 is the core mounting carrier for adjusting the clamping mechanism. The groove 36 on its surface provides a sliding track for the slider 37. The slider 37 can move freely along the groove 36, thereby driving the thin rope A310 connected to the side and the clamp A39 at the end to adjust its position. The clamp A39 can be used to clamp the plant specimen 100 (such as... Figure 1 The specimen is fixed in layers at the root and middle of the stem (as shown). Combined with the support of the disc 7, the specimen is stably placed on the top of the disc 7. Multiple sets of elastic ropes 313 and positioning pins 32 are connected at equal intervals on the surface of the crossbar 311. The positioning pins 32 can be used to position the slider 37 when it is moved to a designated position. That is, the positioning pins 32 pass through the crossbar 311 and the slider 37. After being inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 38, the position of the slider 37 can be accurately fixed, preventing the slider 37 from shifting after the specimen is fixed. At the same time, when the position of the slider 37 needs to be adjusted, the positioning pins 32 can be pulled out, so that the positioning pins 32 are separated from the crossbar 311 and the slider 37. The elastic ropes 313 can prevent the positioning pins 32 from falling off. The positioning pins 32 can always be connected to the surface of the elastic ropes 313, and the elastic ropes 313 can always be fixed to the surface of the crossbar 311, preventing the positioning pins 32 from falling off and eliminating the need to find new positioning pins 32.
[0036] One end of the thin rope B6 at the top of the multiple round rods 4 is connected to the clip B5, which can hold the plant specimen 100 (e.g. Figure 1 The branches, leaves, and flowers (as shown) are erected and fixed to prevent the specimen from sagging and deforming due to gravity. The rope winding structure inside the slider 37 and the round rod 4 further enhances the practicality of the device. The winding drum 13 is embedded and installed through the bearing 15. The winding groove 14 on its surface can orderly wind up the thin ropes A310 and B6. The winding wheel 12 facilitates manual operation of the winding process, realizing flexible adjustment of the rope length to meet the needs of different morphological plant specimens 100 (such as...). Figure 1 (as shown) fixed requirements.
[0037] The round rod 4 and the slider 37 are respectively provided with a rope winding structure for installation and a rope winding installation space. The rope passes through the round holes on the round rod 4 and the slider 37 and extends out of the round rod and the slider. The round holes are connected to the installation space. By rotating the winding wheel 12, the rope can be freely wound and unwound through the round holes.
[0038] In addition, the glass cover 10 set on the top of the base 1 can effectively cover the plant specimen 100 (such as... Figure 1 As shown), it provides dust and moisture protection. The handle 16 on top facilitates the placement and removal of the glass cover 10, which is used for plant specimens 100 (such as...). Figure 1 (As shown) It provides a good environment for long-term preservation.
[0039] This three-dimensional medicinal plant specimen contains 100 (e.g.) Figure 1 The apparatus shown uses a multi-structure collaborative operation to process 100 medicinal plant specimens (such as...). Figure 1 The three-dimensional fixation, flexible adjustment, and long-term protection (as shown) are described in the following workflow:
[0040] In the initial stage of specimen installation, the base 1 is in stable contact with the mounting platform, providing a supporting foundation for the entire device. The disc 7 at the top of the base 1 serves as the core for supporting the specimen, and the centrally located slot 8 on its surface is used to place the plant specimen 100 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The rootstock (as shown) is used to initially position the bottom of the specimen, preventing the specimen from shifting during the fixing process. Multiple sets of circular blocks 2 connected at equal intervals on the surface of the base 1 are vertically mounted with circular rods 4 on top, forming a three-dimensional fixed vertical frame, providing an installation carrier for the support structure 3.
[0041] The installation and adjustment of the support structure 3 is the key to achieving three-dimensional fixation. The support structure 3 is aligned with the protrusions A33 and B34 on both sides of the elastic clamp 31, and then fixed between the two sets of round rods 4 by bolts 35. The installation position and span can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the specimen. A groove 36 is opened on the surface of the crossbar 311 between the two sets of elastic clamps 31, and the slider 37 can slide freely in the groove 36. The operator adjusts the installation position and span according to the size of the plant specimen 100 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown) At the position of the root and middle of the stem, push the slider 37 to the appropriate fixing point, and then insert the positioning pin 32 through the insertion hole 38 on the surface of the crossbar 311 and the slider 37 to lock the position of the slider 37. One end of the thin rope A310 connected to the side of the slider 37 is equipped with a clip A39. By pulling the clip A39, the thin rope A310 at one end can be extended outward on the surface of the winding wheel 12, thereby moving the clip A39 to different positions. It can also be used to clamp the root and middle of the stem of the specimen in layers. By utilizing the flexible connection characteristics of the thin rope A310, rigid fixation can be avoided to prevent damage to the specimen, and the specimen can be fixed in layers in the vertical direction.
[0042] Simultaneously, when the slider 37, string A310, and clamp A39 need to be adjusted, the positioning pin 32 is pulled out, allowing it to detach from the crossbar 311 and slider 37. The elastic rope 313 prevents the positioning pin 32 from falling off, ensuring it remains connected to the surface of the elastic rope 313, which in turn remains fixed to the surface of the crossbar 311. This prevents the positioning pin 32 from becoming lost, eliminating the need to search for a new one. Once the slider 37, string A310, and clamp A39 have moved to the designated position, the positioning pin 32 can be inserted for fixation. The elastic rope 313 itself has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to move with the positioning pin 32 as it moves to different positions (i.e., fixing the slider 37).
[0043] When it is necessary to adjust the fixed position of slider 37 and clamp A39, the positioning pin 32 can be loosened, slider 37 can be slid to change the fixing point of clamp A39, or bolt 35 can be removed to adjust the height and span of support structure 3 to meet the morphological requirements of different specimens.
[0044] For 100 plant specimens (e.g.) Figure 1 As shown, for the branches, leaves, flowers, and other parts, a clip B5 is provided at one end of the thin rope B6 connected to the top of the inner part of the multiple round rods 4. By pulling the clip B5, the thin rope B6 at one end can be extended outward on the surface of the winding wheel 12, thereby moving the clip B5 to different positions. The clip B5 can also be used to assist in lifting and fixing the branches, leaves, and flowers. With the flexible connection characteristics of the thin rope B6, the branching structure of the specimen can be kept in a natural and relaxed three-dimensional posture, avoiding overlapping or falling of branches and leaves.
[0045] The storage and protection mechanism of the device also reflects its practicality. The slider 37 and the round rod 4 are equipped with a rope winding structure. Rotating the winding wheel 12 can drive the winding drum 13 to rotate, so that the thin rope A310 and thin rope B6 are wound into the winding groove 14. The bearing 15 reduces mechanical friction during the winding process, making it easy to store and organize the device when it is not in use. After the specimen is fixed, the glass cover 10 on the top of the base 1 is closed to form a sealed environment, which isolates external dust, moisture and insect infestation. The scale ring 9 on the edge of the disc 7 provides an angle reference for the observer, making it convenient to observe the specimen details accurately from different perspectives.
[0046] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
