Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potato cultivation and screening technology, and in particular to a potato seedling screening device. Background Technology

[0002] The existing potato cultivation process involves first developing the seedlings in culture bottles. After development, the seedlings are then transferred to greenhouses for further cultivation. During cultivation in culture bottles, the seedlings need to be screened and tested frequently to remove any unqualified seedlings from the culture bottles in a timely manner.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent application CN221532270U discloses a potato seedling screening device, which mainly uses a first motor, a threaded rod, a slider and a movable plate to make the bottom of the cultivation tank enter the water tank, so that the roots of the seedlings can absorb water.

[0004] Compared with existing technologies in related fields, it can be seen that in the process of potato seedling cultivation, traditional equipment lacks a mechanism that can automatically and orderly move the culture bottles to the detection position. The position of the culture bottles in the placement tank is relatively fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted, resulting in a limited detection angle and difficulty in comprehensively observing the seedlings, leading to low screening accuracy and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a potato seedling screening device to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A potato seedling screening device includes a storage rack, on which a placement plate and an adjustment unit are fixedly arranged. On the placement plate, a screening and pushing unit is fixedly arranged. On the adjustment unit, a slider is fixedly installed, and on the slider, a screening unit is fixedly installed.

[0008] The screening and pushing unit includes a placement trough and a first electrically controlled telescopic mechanism. The placement trough is arranged on the placement plate. A rotating component is fixedly installed in the placement trough. A limit plate is fixedly installed on the rotating component. A through groove is provided at the end of the placement trough. A flipping plate is rotatably installed in the through groove. The first electrically controlled telescopic mechanism is rotatably arranged on the lower surface of the placement plate. The telescopic end of the first electrically controlled telescopic mechanism is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the flipping plate.

[0009] The screening unit includes a second electrically controlled telescopic mechanism, which is fixedly installed on the slider. A movable frame is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the second electrically controlled telescopic mechanism, and a visual imaging mechanism is fixedly installed on the movable frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a drive mechanism, which is fixedly installed in the placement groove. A conveyor belt is mounted on the drive mechanism and is slidably connected in the placement groove. Limiting plates are fixedly arranged on the conveyor belt.

[0011] Furthermore, protective pads are fixedly installed on both sides of the limiting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a receiving box is fixedly installed on the active frame, located directly below the visual imaging mechanism and the flipping plate.

[0013] Furthermore, a third electrically controlled telescopic mechanism is fixedly installed on the side of the receiving box, and a pusher plate is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the third electrically controlled telescopic mechanism. The pusher plate is slidably connected to the receiving box.

[0014] Furthermore, the adjustment unit includes a lateral displacement mechanism, which is fixedly installed on the storage rack. A bracket is fixedly installed on the lateral displacement mechanism, and the bracket is slidably installed on the storage rack.

[0031] like Figures 1-9As shown, a potato seedling screening device includes a storage rack 1, on which a placement plate 2 and an adjustment unit are fixedly arranged. A screening and pushing unit is fixedly arranged on the placement plate 2, and a slider 6 is fixedly installed on the adjustment unit. A screening unit is fixedly installed on the slider 6. Culture bottles for cultivating potato seedlings are stored on the placement plate 2. During the cultivation process, different culture bottles are moved to the screening position by the screening and pushing unit, and the potato seedlings in the culture bottles are screened by the screening unit. During the screening process, the adjustment unit adjusts the position of the screening unit by the slider 6 to facilitate the screening of culture bottles at different positions on the placement plate 2.

[0032] like Figures 3-7 As shown, the screening and feeding unit includes a placement trough 301 and a first electrically controlled telescopic mechanism 306. The placement trough 301 is arranged on the placement plate 2. A rotating assembly is fixedly installed in the placement trough 301, and a limiting plate 304 is fixedly installed on the rotating assembly. A through groove is provided at the end of the placement trough 301, and a turning plate 307 is rotatably installed in the through groove. The first electrically controlled telescopic mechanism 306 is rotatably arranged on the lower surface of the placement plate 2. The telescopic end of the first electrically controlled telescopic mechanism 306 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the turning plate 307. Culture bottles for cultivating potato seedlings are placed in the placement trough 301, and different culture bottles are isolated by the limiting plate 304 to reduce mutual collisions between different culture bottles. When it is necessary to test and screen the seedlings in the culture bottles, the rotating assembly drives the limiting plate 304 to move. The limiting plate 304 pushes the culture bottle to slide within the placement groove 301, moving it to the detection and screening position. During the movement, the culture bottle shifts and rotates within the placement groove 301 due to the pushing action of the limiting plate 304, enabling comprehensive multi-angle detection and screening of the seedlings in the culture bottle, ensuring the accuracy of the screening results. Culture bottles that pass the detection and screening continue to move within the placement groove 301. When a culture bottle with unqualified seedlings is detected, the first electrically controlled telescopic mechanism 306 drives the tilting plate 307 to rotate and flip, adjusting the tilt angle of the tilting plate 307. Unqualified culture bottles in the placement groove 301 are quickly discharged through the through groove within the placement groove 301, achieving automatic screening, effectively improving screening efficiency and the accuracy of detection results, and reducing the workload of staff.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, the screening unit includes a second electrically controlled telescopic mechanism 401, which is fixedly mounted on the slider 6. A movable frame 402 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the second electrically controlled telescopic mechanism 401, and a visual imaging mechanism 403 is fixedly mounted on the movable frame 402. After the adjustment unit moves the visual imaging mechanism 403 to a suitable height and position via the slider 6, the movable frame 402 is moved via the second electrically controlled telescopic mechanism 401. The movable frame 402 moves the visual imaging mechanism 403 closer to the culture bottle, and the visual imaging mechanism 403 observes the seedlings inside the culture bottle. Taking photos allows staff to directly obtain image information to determine whether seedlings are qualified. It also facilitates staff to view and compare different growth states of seedlings, improving screening efficiency and accuracy. When screening culture bottles at different positions on the placement plate 2, the second electrically controlled telescopic mechanism 401 drives the visual imaging mechanism 403 to retract, preventing the visual imaging mechanism 403 from colliding and being damaged with the placement plate 2 during the adjustment process. This protects the visual imaging mechanism 403. The visual imaging mechanism 403 is existing technology in the testing field and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a drive mechanism 302, which is fixedly installed in the placement trough 301. A conveyor belt 303 is mounted on the drive mechanism 302 and slidably connected to the placement trough 301. Limiting plates 304 are fixedly arranged on the conveyor belt 303. When screening potato seedlings in culture bottles, the drive mechanism 302 drives the conveyor belt 303 to rotate. The conveyor belt 303 pushes the culture bottles to slide in the placement trough 301 through the limiting plates 304, adjusting the position of the culture bottles in the placement trough 301. This automatically feeds the culture bottles that need to be tested, reducing the workload of workers and improving the efficiency of screening.

[0035] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, protective pads 305 are fixedly installed on both sides of the limiting plate 304. The protective pads 305 protect the culture bottle from collision and effectively prevent the culture bottle from being damaged by collision with the limiting plate 304 during rotation, thereby protecting the seedlings in the culture bottle.

[0036] like Figure 3 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, a receiving box 404 is fixedly installed on the movable frame 402. The receiving box 404 is located directly below the visual imaging mechanism 403 and the flipping plate 307. When the flipping plate 307 flips the unqualified culture bottles, the unqualified culture bottles fall into the receiving box 404 for collection, increasing the convenience of collecting and processing unqualified culture bottles.

[0037] like Figure 3 , Figure 9 As shown, a third electrically controlled telescopic mechanism 405 is fixedly installed on the side of the receiving box 404. A pusher plate 406 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the third electrically controlled telescopic mechanism 405. The pusher plate 406 is slidably connected to the receiving box 404. After the receiving box 404 collects the unqualified culture bottles, the pusher plate 406 is moved by the third electrically controlled telescopic mechanism 405. The pusher plate 406 pushes out the unqualified culture bottles in the receiving box 404, placing the unqualified culture bottles together, increasing the convenience of processing, and making it easier for the receiving box 404 to receive and place the unqualified culture bottles again.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the adjustment unit includes a lateral displacement mechanism 501, which is fixedly installed on the storage rack 1. A bracket 502 is fixedly installed on the lateral displacement mechanism 501 and slidably installed on the storage rack 1. A lifting mechanism 503 is fixedly installed on the bracket 502 and fixedly connected to a slider 6. The slider 6 is slidably connected to the bracket 502. The lateral displacement mechanism 501 can drive the support 502 to move horizontally, and the lifting mechanism 503 can drive the slider 6 to move up and down on the bracket 502. The lateral displacement mechanism 501 and the lifting mechanism 503 can adjust the lateral and vertical positions of the screening unit, thereby enabling the detection of different culture bottles on different placement plates 2. There is no need for manual handling of the placement plates 2 or culture bottles, which greatly improves the flexibility and convenience of the detection. It can adapt to the large-scale, multi-layer placement plate 2 potato seedling screening scenario, effectively improving the screening efficiency and reducing the workload.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a collection box 7 is slidably installed at the lower end of the storage rack 1. The collection box 7 is located directly below the placement plate 2. During the potato seedling cultivation and screening process, the collection box 7 is placed at the lower end of the storage rack 1. During the operation, after unqualified culture bottles are selected, they are collected by the collection box 7 to receive the unqualified culture bottles that are brought out from the placement plate 2. When a sufficient number of unqualified culture bottles are placed in the collection box 7, the unqualified culture bottles are taken out through the collection box 7, which increases the convenience of handling unqualified culture bottles, reduces the workload of staff, and improves the efficiency of screening.

[0040] Working principle: such as Figures 1-5 As shown, when cultivating potato seedlings, the culture bottles for cultivating potato seedlings are placed in the placement trough 301, and different culture bottles are isolated by the limiting plate 304, and the culture bottles are protected from collision by the protective pad 305.

[0041] When screening seedlings in culture bottles, such as Figure 1, Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the horizontal displacement mechanism 501 can drive the drive bracket 502 to move horizontally, and the lifting mechanism 503 can drive the slider 6 to move up and down on the bracket 502. The second electric telescopic mechanism 401 drives the movable frame 402 to move, and the movable frame 402 drives the visual imaging mechanism 403 to approach the culture bottle. The visual imaging mechanism 403 takes pictures of the seedlings in the culture bottle, and the staff can directly obtain the image information to judge whether the seedlings are qualified. The visual imaging mechanism 403 is existing technology in the detection field and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the drive mechanism 302 drives the conveyor belt 303 to rotate, and the conveyor belt 303 pushes the culture bottle to slide in the placement groove 301 through the limiting plate 304, thereby screening the seedlings in different culture bottles;

[0043] like Figure 3 , Figures 5-7 As shown, when a culture bottle that fails the seedling screening is found, the first electrically controlled telescopic mechanism 306 drives the flipping plate 307 to rotate and flip, and adjusts the tilt angle of the flipping plate 307. The unqualified culture bottles in the placement trough 301 are quickly discharged through the through groove in the placement trough 301, and the unqualified culture bottles fall into the receiving box 404 for collection.

[0044] like Figures 1-3 , Figure 9 As shown, the third electrically controlled telescopic mechanism 405 drives the pusher plate 406 to move, and the pusher plate 406 pushes out the unqualified culture bottles in the material box 404, pushing the unqualified culture bottles into the collection box 7 for collection, so as to facilitate the processing of unqualified culture bottles.

[0045] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
