Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of macro cameras, specifically a high-pixel photomicrography device for archaeological carbonized plant seeds. Background Technology
[0002] A macro camera is a high-precision photographic device designed for close-up photography of tiny objects. It is equipped with a high-magnification macro lens, a high-resolution image sensor, and a sophisticated mechanical support and focusing system. It can capture and clearly display the fine structure and texture of objects. Macro cameras play an important role in scientific research, medical, and biological research fields, helping users observe details that are difficult to see with the naked eye.
[0003] In the use of macro cameras, in order to avoid shadows on the black carbonized seeds being measured during the shooting process, resulting in insufficient light, several light sources are set on the outside of the camera platform. However, there is a problem in actual use. Specifically, the use of multiple light sources leads to excessive energy consumption and generates more heat, which affects the shooting environment of the black carbonized seeds and reduces the ease of use of the macro camera. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a large-pixel microscopic photography mechanism for archaeological carbonized plant seeds, so as to solve the technical problems that the sample is black and the details are not easy to display, and that existing macro cameras require a lot of external auxiliary light sources, which reduces the ease of use of macro cameras.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a large-pixel photomicrography mechanism for archaeological carbonized plant seeds, comprising a base plate, a support frame, and a macro camera. A light-blocking mechanism is provided on one side of the base plate. The light-blocking mechanism includes a mounting frame. A sliding rod is engaged and slidably mounted on the inner side of the mounting frame. Several limiting rods are fixedly mounted on the inner side of the mounting frame. A roller is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting frame. A fixing column is fixedly mounted at the central axis of the roller. A light-blocking cloth is connected to the outer side of the fixing column through a torsion spring sheet.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the slider needs to overcome the torque of the torsion spring plate, ensuring the stability and controllability of the light-blocking cloth when it is pulled out. Once the light-blocking cloth is pulled out, it can be hooked to the limiting rod through the hook, thereby firmly fixing the position of the light-blocking cloth and providing a stable light-blocking environment for subsequent shooting.
[0007] Furthermore, the light-blocking cloth is fixedly connected to the sliding rod, and the light-blocking cloth can be made of, but is not limited to, two different materials and have different colors and structural forms.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the light-blocking cloth during the pulling and unfolding process is ensured. This connection method allows the light-blocking cloth to fit tightly onto the slide bar and will not easily fall off or loosen due to external force, thereby ensuring the reliability and durability of the light-blocking effect.
[0009] Furthermore, the mounting frame has an arc-shaped structure, and the limiting rod is used to limit the position of the light-blocking cloth.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the light-blocking cloth can remain flat when unfolded, and will not wrinkle or deform due to uneven support, thereby ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the light-blocking effect.
[0011] Furthermore, a hook is fixedly provided on the outer side of the slide bar, and the slide bar is connected to any limiting rod through the hook.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the slider can be hooked to any limiting rod after pulling the light-blocking cloth. This hooking method is simple and firm, ensuring that the light-blocking cloth can be stably fixed in the required position after being unfolded, and will not easily fall off or move due to external force. This helps users maintain the stability and consistency of lighting conditions during shooting, thereby improving shooting quality and accuracy.
[0013] Furthermore, lighting devices are installed on both sides of the top of the base plate. Each lighting device includes a mounting base, a first connecting arm is rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting base, a second connecting arm is rotatably mounted on the other end of the first connecting arm, and a lighting lamp is connected to the other end of the second connecting arm via a universal swivel seat.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the black carbonized seeds can obtain uniform and sufficient light during the shooting process. Since the lighting devices are located on both sides of the base plate, they can provide light sources for the black carbonized seeds from different angles, thereby reducing shadows and reflections and improving shooting quality.
[0015] Furthermore, a linear motor is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame, and a mounting plate is provided on one side of the linear motor. One side of the mounting plate is detachably connected to the macro camera via a clamp.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a power source is provided for the precise movement of the macro camera. The linear motor can stably drive the mounting plate and the macro camera on it to move linearly according to the preset program and parameters, thereby ensuring that the camera can accurately focus on various parts of the black carbonized seed during the shooting process and capture clear image details.
[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages: This invention utilizes a light-blocking mechanism. By pulling a sliding rod and overcoming the torque of a torsion spring, the light-blocking cloth can be easily extended to the outside and hooked onto a limiting rod to fix its position. This makes the operation of the light-blocking cloth simple and efficient. Simultaneously, the rotation of the first and second connecting arms allows for flexible adjustment of the lighting position to provide the necessary light source for macro photography of black carbonized seeds. The lighting adjustment is not only convenient but also meets different shooting angles and lighting requirements. During shooting, the unfolded light-blocking cloth effectively reflects the light source of the lighting, enhancing the light intensity on the outside of the black carbonized seeds and avoiding the influence of external cluttered light sources on the shooting quality. This not only improves shooting quality but also reduces the number of lighting devices required, thereby enhancing the ease of use of the camera. Attached Figure Description

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.
[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0024] Example 1: A high-resolution photomicrography technique for archaeological carbonized plant seeds, such as... Figures 1-4As shown, the system includes a base plate 1, a support frame 2, and a macro camera 5. A light-blocking mechanism 7 is provided on one side of the base plate 1. The light-blocking mechanism 7 includes a mounting frame 701. A sliding rod 702 is engaged and slidably mounted on the inner side of the mounting frame 701. Several limiting rods 703 are fixedly mounted on the inner side of the mounting frame 701. A roller 704 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting frame 701. A fixing post 706 is fixedly mounted at the central axis of the roller 704. A light-blocking cloth 705 is connected to the outer side of the fixing post 706 via a torsion spring 707. The sliding rod 702 needs to overcome the torsion of the torsion spring 707 to ensure the stability and controllability of the light-blocking cloth 705 when pulled out. Once the light-blocking cloth 705 is pulled out, it can be hooked onto the limiting rods 703 via a hook 708, thereby firmly fixing the light-blocking cloth 705. Position 05 provides a stable light-blocking environment for subsequent shooting. Next, by rotating the first connecting arm 602 and the second connecting arm 603, the photographer can flexibly adjust the position and angle of the lighting 604 until the desired lighting effect is achieved. This not only facilitates the photographer's operation but also greatly improves the efficiency and quality of shooting. During the shooting process, the unfolding and use of the light-blocking cloth 705 plays a crucial role. It can not only effectively reflect the light source of the lighting 604, thereby enhancing the light intensity on the outside of the black carbonized seeds, but also avoid interference from external random light sources on the shooting quality of the black carbonized seeds. This helps to reduce the number of lighting devices 6 used, reduce the complexity and cost of shooting, and also improve the ease of use of the camera.
[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The light-blocking cloth 705 is fixedly connected to the slide bar 702. The light-blocking cloth 705 has two, but not limited to, material and color structural forms, which ensures the stability of the light-blocking cloth 705 during the pulling and unfolding process. This connection method allows the light-blocking cloth 705 to fit tightly on the slide bar 702 and will not easily fall off or loosen due to external force, thus ensuring the reliability and durability of the light-blocking effect. At the same time, the design of the light-blocking cloth 705 using two or more material and color structural forms provides users with more choices and flexibility. Different materials and colors can absorb or reflect light of different wavelengths, thereby achieving precise control of light.
[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2The mounting bracket 701 has an arc-shaped structure, and the limiting rod 703 is used to limit the position of the light-blocking cloth 705, so that the light-blocking cloth 705 can remain flat when unfolded, and will not wrinkle or deform due to uneven support, thereby ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the light-blocking effect. At the same time, the arc-shaped structure also helps to improve the concentration of light sources inside the light-blocking cloth 705. In addition, the setting of the limiting rod 703 is used to limit the position of the light-blocking cloth 705, so that the light-blocking cloth 705 can be firmly fixed in the required position after being pulled out, and will not easily move or shake due to external forces. This stability is crucial for macro photography, because it can ensure the stability and consistency of lighting conditions during the shooting process, thereby improving the shooting quality and accuracy.
[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 A hook 708 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the slide bar 702. The slide bar 702 is connected to any limiting rod 703 through the hook 708. This allows the slide bar 702 to be connected to any limiting rod 703 after the light-blocking cloth 705 is pulled. This connection method is simple and firm, ensuring that the light-blocking cloth 705 can be stably fixed in the required position after being unfolded. It will not easily fall off or move due to external force, which helps users maintain the stability and consistency of light conditions during shooting, thereby improving shooting quality and accuracy. At the same time, the connection design between the hook 708 and the limiting rod 703 also gives users greater flexibility and convenience. Photographers can flexibly choose the connection position according to shooting needs and scene changes to adjust the angle and range of the light-blocking cloth. This adjustability allows photographers to better control the light and create more ideal shooting effects.
[0028] Example 2: See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 Lighting devices 6 are installed on both sides of the top of the base plate 1. Each lighting device 6 includes a mounting base 601. A first connecting arm 602 is rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting base 601, and a second connecting arm 603 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the first connecting arm 602. The other end of the second connecting arm 603 is connected to a lighting lamp 604 via a universal swivel seat. This ensures that the black carbonized seeds receive uniform and sufficient light during the shooting process. Since the lighting devices are located on both sides of the base plate 1, they can provide light sources to the black carbonized seeds from different angles, thereby reducing shadows and reflections and improving shooting quality. At the same time, the mounting base 601 provides a stable foundation for the lighting devices, while the rotatable setting of the first connecting arm 602 and the second connecting arm 603 gives the lighting lamp 604 a high degree of adjustability. The photographer can flexibly adjust the position and angle of the lighting lamp according to the shooting needs and the characteristics of the black carbonized seeds to obtain the best lighting effect.
[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 A linear motor 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 2, and a mounting plate 4 is provided on one side of the linear motor 3. One side of the mounting plate 4 is detachably connected to the macro camera 5 via a clamp, providing a power source for the precise movement of the macro camera 5. The linear motor 3 can stably push the mounting plate 4 and the macro camera 5 on it to move linearly according to the preset program and parameters, thereby ensuring that the camera can accurately focus on various parts of the black carbonized seed during the shooting process and capture clear image details. At the same time, the detachable connection between the mounting plate 4 and the macro camera 5 via a clamp improves the flexibility and convenience of shooting. The photographer can quickly install the macro camera 5 onto the mounting plate 4 according to the shooting needs and the characteristics of the black carbonized seed, or remove it for replacement or adjustment as needed.
[0030] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: When macro photography of black carbonized seeds is required, firstly, the black carbonized seeds are fixed using linoleum. Then, the black carbonized seed sample is placed on top of the base plate 1, within the shooting range of the macro camera 5. Next, the slide bar 702 is pulled, causing the slide bar 702 to overcome the torque of the torsion spring plate 707 and pull the light-blocking cloth 705, thereby pulling the light-blocking cloth 705 outward. Then, the hook 708 is connected to the corresponding limiting rod 703, which helps to fix the position of the light-blocking cloth 705. Then, the first connecting arm 602, The second connecting arm 603 is rotated until the illumination lamp 604 is adjusted to the desired position and activated, thus providing the necessary light source for macro photography of the black carbonized seeds. Then, through the cooperation of the linear motor 3 and the macro camera 5, a good macro photo of the black carbonized seeds is taken. During this shooting process, the light-blocking cloth 705 can be unfolded to reflect the light source of the illumination lamp 604, enhance the light intensity on the outside of the black carbonized seeds, and avoid the influence of external cluttered light sources on the shooting quality of the black carbonized seeds. This reduces the number of lighting devices 6 used and improves the ease of use of the camera.
