Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a movable and retractable plant photography device with a detachable supplemental lighting component, belonging to the field of plant photography technology. Background Technology
[0002] A plant photography device is a device used to capture images of plants. It is widely used in fields such as botanical research, horticulture, and plant protection. Common types include handheld plant photography devices and fixed plant photography devices. For example, handheld plant photography devices are suitable for field investigations, botanical garden tours, and other scenarios, making it convenient to record plant morphology at any time.
[0003] Currently, when photographing plants, we mainly rely on natural light or general photography equipment. The shooting is affected by weather and time, and the lighting conditions are difficult to control, resulting in inconsistent image quality. At the same time, the background of traditional shooting environments is complex and can easily introduce irrelevant elements, which in turn interfere with the display of the plant as the main subject. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a movable and retractable plant photography device with a detachable supplementary lighting component. It includes multiple sets of vertical poles, each set of which is detachably connected to quick-connect fittings at both ends. A reinforcing rod is detachably connected between the ends of every two sets of vertical poles via quick-connect fittings, forming a U-shaped frame. A horizontal bar is detachably connected between the tops of two sets of U-shaped frames via quick-connect fittings, forming a U-shaped frame. The U-shaped frame is covered with a tarpaulin, the inner lining of which is made of reflective material. A camera hole for inserting a camera lens is provided on one side of the tarpaulin. A clip is installed on a set of horizontal poles away from the camera hole, and a black background cloth is attached to the clip. A supplementary lighting adjustment magnetic component is provided on the two sets of vertical poles closest to the camera hole.
[0005] The feature is that: an extension rod is slidably provided at the top of the vertical rod, the extension rod has multiple sets of through holes, a first screw adapted to the inner diameter of the through hole is threaded through the top end of the vertical rod, and a variable diameter rod with the same outer diameter as the vertical rod is fixedly connected to one end of the extension rod.
[0006] The fill light adjustment magnetic assembly includes multiple sets of sliding sleeves, which are slidably mounted on two sets of vertical rods near the camera aperture. The sliding sleeves are equipped with a second screw that abuts against the outer wall of the vertical rod. A sleeve is installed on one side of the outer wall of the sliding sleeve, and multiple slots are opened on one side of the inner wall of the sleeve.
[0007] The fill light adjustment magnetic suction assembly also includes a sleeve rod, which is slidably fitted inside a sleeve. A sliding plate is slidably connected inside the sleeve rod. A screw rod that is rotatably connected to the sliding plate is threaded through one end of the sleeve rod, and an insert plate is installed at the end of the sliding plate away from the screw rod. A magnetic suction plate is installed at one end of the sleeve rod.
[0008] The background cloth has scale lines printed on both sides of its edges.
[0009] The vertical rod, reinforcing rod, and horizontal rod are all hollow inside.
[0010] Beneficial effects:
[0011] The quick-connectors allow for rapid assembly and disassembly of multiple poles, making them easy to carry and deploy. The open bottom design allows for easy covering of plants, and the combination of the canopy's external light blocking and internal reflective material effectively eliminates environmental interference and achieves uniform lighting. Meanwhile, the black background cloth simplifies background separation and reduces the difficulty of post-processing images.
[0012] The overall height of this device can be adjusted by using an extension rod and a through-hole structure. Combined with the multi-dimensional sliding adjustment and locking mechanism of the magnetic light assembly, the lighting position and angle can be controlled to further eliminate shooting shadows and adapt to different plant heights. At the same time, the light adopts a magnetic fixing design, which supports quick adsorption installation and disassembly, further improving the flexibility of lighting and the portability of the equipment.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, a movable and retractable plant photography device with a detachable supplemental lighting component includes multiple sets of vertical poles 1. Each set of vertical poles 1 has quick-connect fittings 3 detachably connected to both ends. A reinforcing rod 2 is detachably connected between the ends of every two sets of vertical poles 1 via quick-connect fittings 3, forming a U-shaped frame. A horizontal bar 4 is detachably connected between the tops of two sets of U-shaped frames via quick-connect fittings 3, forming a U-shaped frame. A tarpaulin 5 is covered outside the U-shaped frame. The inner lining of the tarpaulin 5 is made of reflective material. A camera hole 6 for inserting a camera lens is opened on one side of the tarpaulin 5. Clips 7 are installed on a set of horizontal bars 4 away from the camera hole 6. A black background cloth 8 is clipped onto clip 7. Two sets of vertical rods 1 near the camera aperture 6 are equipped with magnetic components for adjusting the fill light. The device features an open bottom design, facilitating the frame's placement over the plant. During operation, the fill light is magnetically attached to the adjustment components, allowing for detachment. It is installed when needed and quickly removed when not in use. The fill light also has a built-in charging module, eliminating the need for cables found in traditional fill lights. This magnetic fill light with a charging module is a new type of magnetic fill light available. The equipment itself will not be described in detail. Then, utilizing the open bottom design of the device, the U-shaped frame is gently lowered from the top of the plant, ensuring the plant is completely inside the frame. At this point, the tarpaulin 5 can block external light sources, achieving an indoor shooting effect and reducing interference from external light on the camera image. Simultaneously, the reflective design of the tarpaulin 5 allows for uniform lighting through reflected light, reducing shadows and differences in brightness during shooting. Since the plant to be photographed is now inside the frame of the tarpaulin 5, surrounding plants and objects that are not being photographed can be shielded, reducing the introduction of external factors. The camera lens is inserted through the camera aperture 6, and the lens focus and angle are adjusted to ensure it is aimed at the plant subject. Shooting is then performed through the camera aperture 6, avoiding the entry of light into the device to prevent disruption of the lighting environment or impact on shooting stability. During this process, the black design of the background cloth 8 reduces color mixing between the background and the subject, simplifying post-processing color correction. When disassembly is required, the multiple sets of vertical poles 1, reinforcing poles 2, and horizontal poles 4 are disassembled sequentially using the quick connector 3, and the background cloth 8 can be quickly disassembled using the clip 7, facilitating deployment and storage in different locations and improving equipment utilization.
[0021] Furthermore, an extension rod 10 is slidably provided at the top of the vertical rod 1. The extension rod 10 has multiple sets of through holes 11. A first screw 9, which is adapted to the inner diameter of the through hole 11, is threaded through the top end of the vertical rod 1. A variable diameter rod 12, which is the same as the outer diameter of the vertical rod 1, is fixedly connected to one end of the extension rod 10. During operation, the first screw 9 at the top of the vertical rod 1 is rotated to remove it from the current through hole 11, thereby releasing the fixation of the extension rod 10. According to the required height of the plant, the extension rod 10 is slid up and down to align the through hole 11 at the target height with the threaded hole at the top of the vertical rod 1. The first screw 9 is then screwed back into the aligned through hole 11 until it is tightened, thereby fixing the position of the extension rod 10 and flexibly adjusting the height of the device to meet the needs of photographing plants at different heights.
[0022] Furthermore, the magnetic light adjustment assembly includes multiple sets of sliding sleeves 14, which are slidably mounted on two sets of vertical rods 1 near the camera aperture 6. Each sliding sleeve 14 has a second screw 15 that abuts against the outer wall of the vertical rod 1. A sleeve 17 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 14, and multiple slots 19 are formed on one side of the inner wall of the sleeve 17. The magnetic light adjustment assembly also includes a sleeve rod 18, which is slidably mounted inside the sleeve 17. A sliding plate 20 is slidably connected inside the sleeve rod 18. One end of the sleeve 17 is threaded with a screw 22 that is rotatably connected to the sliding plate 20. A plate 21 is installed at the end of the sliding plate 20 away from the screw 22, and a magnetic plate 16 is installed at one end of the sleeve rod 18. During operation, the vertical rod 1 is circular. When the second screw 15 is loosened... The sliding sleeve 14 can slide and rotate on the vertical rod 1, thereby adjusting the vertical height and angle of the supplementary light installed on the magnetic suction plate 16 to ensure uniform light illumination of the plants. At the same time, by rotating the screw 22, the sliding plate 20 is pushed to slide inside the sleeve 18, so that the insert plate 21 is completely retracted into the sleeve 18. At this time, the extension length of the sleeve 18 in the sleeve 17 can be adjusted to adjust the longitudinal position of the supplementary light. In this state, the sleeve 18 can slide out from the sleeve 17 to facilitate independent replacement if either of them is damaged. After the length adjustment of the sleeve 18 is completed, the screw 22 is rotated in the opposite direction to insert the insert plate 21 into the corresponding slot 19, thereby locking the position of the sleeve 18.
[0023] Furthermore, scale lines 13 are printed on both sides of the background cloth 8; the scale lines 13 are used to assist in measuring the size of the plants.
[0024] Furthermore, the vertical rod 1, the reinforcing rod 2, and the horizontal rod 4 are all hollow inside; the hollow design is used to reduce the weight of the above-mentioned multiple rods, making the whole device lighter and easier to carry and move.
