Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to an automatic leaf expansion recognition device for cucurbit rootstocks. Background Technology

[0002] In the grafting process of cucurbit rootstocks, the success rate of rootstock loading directly affects the subsequent grafting efficiency. It is necessary to remove the cucurbit rootstocks from the seedling tray and hand them over to the main loading mechanism.

[0003] In the prior art, the rootstock feeding mechanism directly removes the cucurbit rootstock from the seedling tray and hands it over to the main feeding mechanism. Because the leaf expansion direction and posture of the rootstock are not identified and adjusted, the success rate of feeding is low, and even the leaves are cut, which seriously affects the success rate of seedling feeding and grafting efficiency. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an automatic leaf expansion identification device for cucurbit rootstocks to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic leaf spread recognition device for cucurbit rootstocks to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic leaf spread recognition device for cucurbit rootstocks includes a mounting base. A fixed plate is connected to the upper surface of the mounting base. A main motor is mounted on the upper surface of the fixed plate. An installation cylinder is connected to the upper surface of the main motor. A feeding mechanism is connected to the top of the installation cylinder. A sliding ring is slidably connected to the outer surface of the installation cylinder. Two fixed plates are connected to the outer surface of the sliding ring. Rotary bearings are embedded inside the two fixed plates. A station motor is provided below each of the two fixed plates. A connecting shaft is connected to the inner ring of each rotary bearing. The bottom ends of the two connecting shafts are respectively connected to the output ends of the two station motors. A fixed seat is connected to the top of each connecting shaft. An installation plate is connected to the upper surface of each fixed seat. A set of pneumatic grippers is mounted on the upper surface of each installation plate. Multiple leaf spread recognition mechanisms are mounted on the outer surface of the installation cylinder.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: both sets of pneumatic grippers are openable grippers, and both sets of pneumatic grippers have protective pads connected inside.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the main motor is a servo motor, and both station motors are stepper motors.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the upper surface of the mounting base is connected to two stabilizing seats, and the upper surfaces of the two stabilizing seats are respectively connected to the bottom surfaces of the two station motors.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: each of the leaf span recognition mechanisms adopts an industrial camera, and the mounting base is equipped with a data processing and analysis unit.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This automatic leaf spread recognition device for cucurbit rootstocks requires no manual intervention throughout the entire process. It achieves an automated closed loop from rootstock loading to recognition result output: the loading mechanism replaces manual tray placement, the pneumatic gripper replaces manual fixing, the posture adjustment and multi-camera recognition replace manual flipping and observation, and the data processing unit replaces manual measurement and judgment. This significantly improves the efficiency of batch recognition while reducing the manpower input and labor intensity of manual operation. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment of the utility model, the automatic leaf spread recognition device for cucurbit rootstock includes a mounting base 1. A fixing plate 2 is connected to the upper surface of the mounting base 1. A main motor 3 is mounted on the upper surface of the fixing plate 2. A mounting cylinder 13 is connected to the upper surface of the main motor 3. A feeding mechanism 4 is connected to the top of the mounting cylinder 13. A sliding ring 5 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the mounting cylinder 13. Two fixing plates 6 are connected to the outer surface of the sliding ring 5. Rotary bearings 7 are embedded inside the two fixing plates 6. A stationary motor 8 is provided below each of the two fixing plates 6. The inner surface of each rotary bearing 7... Each ring is connected to a connecting shaft 14. The bottom ends of the two connecting shafts 14 are connected to the output ends of the two station motors 8 respectively. The top ends of the two connecting shafts 14 are connected to fixed seats 9. The upper surface of each fixed seat 9 is connected to a mounting plate 10. The upper surface of each mounting plate 10 is equipped with a set of pneumatic grippers 11. The outer surface of the mounting cylinder 13 is equipped with multiple blade span recognition mechanisms 12. By simultaneously acquiring images from different perspectives through multiple industrial cameras, the front, side and edge details of the blade span can be completely captured, avoiding problems such as blade span occlusion and incomplete features under a single perspective.

[0019] Both sets of pneumatic grippers 11 are openable grippers, and both sets of pneumatic grippers 11 have protective pads connected inside. The main motor 3 is a servo motor, and the two station motors 8 are stepper motors. Because the pneumatic grippers 11 are openable, the gripping range can be flexibly adjusted according to the diameter of the rootstock. It can meet the identification needs of different types of melon rootstocks such as cucumbers, watermelons, and cantaloupes without changing the grippers. The main motor 3 is a servo motor, which can have high-precision speed and angle control capabilities. At the same time, the two station motors 8 are stepper motors, which can achieve precise rotation at small angles.

[0020] The upper surface of the mounting base 1 is connected to two stabilizing seats 15. The upper surfaces of the two stabilizing seats 15 are respectively connected to the bottom surfaces of the two station motors 8. Each leaf spread recognition mechanism 12 uses an industrial camera. The mounting base 1 is equipped with a data processing and analysis unit. The rigid fixation of the station motors 8 by the stabilizing seats 15 can offset the vibration during motor operation and prevent the overall device from shaking. The data processing and analysis unit inside the mounting base 1 can automatically record the leaf spread recognition data of each rootstock and support data storage, export and network transmission, which makes it convenient for planting managers to trace the growth status of each batch of rootstocks.

[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this device, the feeding mechanism 4 first accurately conveys the cucurbit rootstock to be tested to the surface of the mounting plate 10. When the rootstock reaches the designated position, the two sets of pneumatic grippers 11 on the mounting plate 10 close synchronously, thereby clamping the cucurbit rootstock. Then, the main motor 3 drives the mounting cylinder 13 to rotate around the vertical axis, which can rotate the mounting plate 10 and the rootstock to the optimal recognition area of ​​the leaf spread recognition mechanism 12. At this time, the multiple leaf spread recognition mechanisms 12 on the outer surface of the mounting cylinder 13 can perform multi-angle, no-dead-angle image acquisition of the rootstock leaf spread, capturing the leaf spread. The industrial camera captures key features such as leaf size, shape, leaf margin integrity, and vein distribution. The captured leaf spread image data is transmitted in real time to the data processing and analysis unit inside the mounting base 1. This unit processes the image using an image recognition algorithm, automatically calculating quantitative parameters such as leaf spread area, perimeter, and aspect ratio. Simultaneously, two stationary motors 8 drive two fixed seats 9, mounting plate 10, two sets of pneumatic grippers 11, and the cucurbit rootstock to rotate, thereby adjusting the cucurbit rootstock to a suitable opening and closing angle, completing the entire recognition process. The above is the complete operation process of this device.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects.
