Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant information acquisition technology, specifically to a clamp-type plant phenotypic information acquisition device. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent production environment monitoring and control technology, as a key component of agricultural modernization, can acquire various information in the agricultural production process in real time and accurately, including soil conditions, climate conditions, and crop growth status. Based on this information, it can make intelligent decisions and controls, thereby greatly improving agricultural production efficiency, reducing resource waste, and enhancing the stability and sustainability of agricultural production.

[0003] Plant phenotyping plays a vital role in botany and biology. It primarily involves identifying and analyzing various plant characteristics and traits (i.e., phenotypes), as well as monitoring and controlling the plant's growth environment. This allows for a deeper understanding of the complex effects of genes and environmental factors on plant phenotypes, clarifying the relationships between plant phenotypes and their yield and physiological state, and elucidating the impact of different environmental conditions on plant growth, yield, and quality. Currently, research at all levels, from functional genomics to crop cultivation physiology, urgently requires the measurement of numerous phenotypic characteristics and traits at different plant levels. These include morphological parameters (structure, density, leaf area, leaf length, leaf width, seed color, etc.) and physiological and biochemical parameters (nutrient analysis, water distribution, water stress, transpiration, photosynthetic physiology, pests and diseases, etc.). Therefore, the complete acquisition and analysis of multiphenotypic information in plants has become a core research direction in plant phenomics.

[0004] However, traditional plant phenotyping relies primarily on manual labor, which has numerous drawbacks. On one hand, manual measurement is extremely inefficient, failing to meet the demands of large-scale, high-throughput research. On the other hand, manual operation inevitably introduces errors, the magnitude of which is difficult to control effectively, impacting the accuracy and reliability of the measurement data. To address these issues, in recent years, domestic and international research institutions and large enterprises have invested heavily in the research and development of high-throughput plant phenotyping platforms, primarily resulting in two solutions: fixed platforms with sensors mounted on them, or mobile robots with sensors mounted on them. The fixed platform approach is costly to build, requires significant space, and once built, its location and layout are difficult to adjust flexibly according to actual needs, exhibiting poor adaptability to different planting environments. The mobile robot approach, on the other hand, is costly to develop and manufacture, technically complex, and its stability and navigation accuracy are easily affected in complex farmland environments. For example, encountering undulating terrain or dense weeds can lead to interrupted or inaccurate data collection.

[0005] Regarding the two solutions mentioned above, patent CN110375158A discloses a plant phenotypic information acquisition platform, acquisition device, and acquisition method, enabling the acquisition platform to collect phenotypic information from plants at different growth stages or under different external environments. However, this platform is too large, making it difficult to move, and its structure is complex. Patent CN115681748A provides a self-propelled multi-degree-of-freedom plant phenotypic information acquisition platform, which can acquire information through vehicle movement. However, this vehicle is actually dependent on terrain. The requirements are extremely high, and existing seedling greenhouses in China generally do not support the movement of small carts. For example, patent CN222063227U discloses a high-throughput strawberry seedling phenotyping device, which can visually inspect strawberry seedlings in seed trays through a frame, a belt conveyor installed on the frame, a vision inspection module, and a control unit. However, the device is bulky, and since the seedlings in the greenhouse are laid on the ground, the device requires moving the seedling trays to the conveyor belt for inspection one by one, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and not conducive to practical implementation.

[0006] It is evident that existing data acquisition devices suffer from drawbacks such as high deployment costs, complex installation, and poor flexibility and adaptability, which urgently need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0021] The implementation and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The following drawings will disclose several embodiments of this utility model. For clarity, many practical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these practical details should not be used to limit this utility model. That is, in some embodiments of this utility model, these practical details are not essential. In addition, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in the drawings in a simple schematic manner.

[0023] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0024] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" is for descriptive purposes only and does not specifically refer to any order or sequence, nor is it intended to limit the utility model. They are merely used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only if they are feasible for those skilled in the art. If a combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0025] To further understand the content, features, and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: This utility model discloses a clamp-type plant phenotypic information collection device. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 6 ,include: The clamping mechanism 100 is provided with a clamping space for the object to be clamped to enter and exit. The universal ball joint connection mechanism 200 includes a sleeve 201 fixedly connected to the clamping mechanism 100 at one end, a ball joint 202 rotatably connected to the other end of the sleeve 201, and a connecting rod 203 fixedly connected to the other end of the ball joint 202 at one end. An integrated image acquisition module 300 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 203 and is used to acquire plant phenotypic information.

[0026] In use, the object to be clamped in the area where the acquisition device is to be installed is inserted into the clamping space of the clamping mechanism 100, and the object is clamped by the clamping mechanism 100. Then, by rotating the ball head 202 in the sleeve 201, the acquisition angle of the integrated image acquisition module 300 can be adjusted, especially the acquisition angle in the horizontal and vertical directions, thereby achieving accurate acquisition by the integrated image acquisition module 300. By using this clamping mechanism 100, installation can be achieved quickly. Compared with the two existing solutions of mounting sensors on a fixed platform or mounting sensors on a mobile robot, the installation and acquisition method of this application can reduce costs and achieve high flexibility and adaptability by adjusting the acquisition angle through the universal ball head connection mechanism 200. This improves the technical problems of high cost of acquisition device layout, complex installation, and poor flexibility and adaptability in the prior art.

[0027] When in use, the object being clamped can be a greenhouse irrigation pipe. The connecting rod 203 is made of carbon fiber, which reduces the overall weight while ensuring connection strength, making it easy to carry and install.

[0028] The sleeve 201 includes a base plate 211 fixedly connected to the clamping mechanism 100 at one end, a first ball joint plate 212 fixedly connected to the other end of the base plate 211 at one end, a second ball joint plate 213 slidably connected to the other end of the base plate 211 at one end, and a locking screw 214 rotatably connected to the first ball joint plate 212 at one end. The first ball joint plate 212 and the second ball joint plate 213 are arranged opposite to each other and their opposite ends are both formed with spherical grooves. The ball head 202 is rotatably installed in the two spherical grooves at the same time. The other end of the locking screw 214 is threadedly connected to the second ball joint plate 213 and extends out of the second ball joint plate 213.

[0029] During installation, by rotating the locking screw 214, the second ball joint plate 213 is moved away from the first ball joint plate 212, forming a rotation space for the ball head 202 and allowing the ball head 202 to rotate smoothly. After adjusting the acquisition angle of the integrated image acquisition module 300 to the correct position, the locking screw 214 is rotated in the opposite direction to fix the ball head 202 so that it cannot rotate, thereby ensuring the long-term consistency of the acquisition angle of the integrated image acquisition module 300.

[0030] One end of the locking screw 214 has a stepped shaft structure and is rotatably connected to the first ball joint plate 212 to prevent the locking screw 214 from disengaging from the first ball joint plate 212.

[0031] The other end of the substrate 211 is provided with a groove 2110, and one end of the second ball joint plate 213 is formed with a slider 2130 that is adapted to and slidably connected to the groove 2110.

[0032] The sliding path of the second ball joint plate 213 is formed by the sliding groove 2110, and the stable connection between the second ball joint plate 213 and the substrate 211 is ensured by the snap-fit ​​of the sliding groove 2110.

[0033] In this utility model, the slide 2110 can be a dovetail groove or a stepped groove, and the figure shows a dovetail groove.

[0034] For the clamp-type plant phenotypic information acquisition device of this utility model, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1 to 4 The clamping mechanism 100 includes a clamping seat 101 fixedly connected to the sleeve 201 at one end, a first C-shaped clamping body 102 slidably connected to the other end of the clamping seat 101 at one end, a second C-shaped clamping body 103 connected to the other end of the clamping seat 101 at one end, and an adjusting screw 104 rotatably connected to the other end of the clamping seat 101 at one end. The second C-shaped clamping body 103 and the first C-shaped clamping body 102 are arranged opposite to each other, and the other ends of both are arc-shaped and bent towards each other to form a clamping space. The other end of the adjusting screw 104 is threadedly connected to the first C-shaped clamping body 102 and extends out of the first C-shaped clamping body 102.

[0035] When clamping the clamping mechanism 100 onto the object being clamped, the first C-shaped clamping body 102 can be moved away from the second C-shaped clamping body 103 by rotating the adjusting screw 104, thus expanding the clamping space and allowing the object to enter the clamping space. By rotating the adjusting screw 104 in the opposite direction, the first C-shaped clamping body 102 can be moved toward the second C-shaped clamping body 103, and the first C-shaped clamping body 102 and the second C-shaped clamping body 103 can clamp the object together, achieving rapid installation.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first C-shaped clamp body 102 and the second C-shaped clamp body 103 are made of high-strength aluminum alloy. Through the clamping of the first C-shaped clamp body 102 and the second C-shaped clamp body 103, it can adapt to clamping objects of different diameters or other types of sizes. Under the tightening of the adjusting screw 104, the clamp is firmly fixed, ensuring that the equipment remains stable in complex environments.

[0037] One end of the adjusting screw 104 has a stepped shaft structure and is rotatably connected to the clamping seat 101 to prevent the adjusting screw 104 from disengaging from the clamping seat 101.

[0038] The other end of the clamping seat 101 is fixedly connected to a plurality of parallel limiting rods 111. Each limiting rod 111 extends along the arrangement direction of the first C-shaped clamp body 102 and the second C-shaped clamp body 103, and the first C-shaped clamp body 102 is simultaneously slidably connected to each limiting rod 111.

[0039] During the sliding of the first C-shaped clamp body 102 to approach or move away from the second C-shaped clamp body 103, each limiting rod 111 can guide and limit the first C-shaped clamp body 102 to ensure that a clamping space is always formed between the first C-shaped clamp body 102 and the second C-shaped clamp body 103, and the size of the clamping space can be changed under the drive of the adjusting screw 104.

[0040] The clamping mechanism 100 also includes a central shaft 105, an adapter 106, a cantilever plate 107, and an angle adjusting rod 108. The central shaft 105 is rotatably connected to the central shaft 105 of the clamping seat 101 and the second C-shaped clamping body 103. The adapter 106 is fixedly connected to the second C-shaped clamping body 103. One end of the cantilever plate 107 is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping seat 101. One end of the angle adjusting rod 108 is rotatably connected to the adapter 106, and the other end is threaded to the other end of the cantilever plate 107 and extends out of the cantilever plate 107.

[0041] When clamping the clamping mechanism 100 onto the object being clamped, the second C-shaped clamping body 103 can be rotated about the central axis 105 by rotating the angle adjustment rod 108, thereby adjusting the opening angle between the second C-shaped clamping body 103 and the first C-shaped clamping body 102 so as to clamp objects of different sizes.

[0042] The second C-shaped clamp body 103 has two extensions at one end. The two extensions are arranged opposite each other and clamp the clamping seat 101. The two ends of the central shaft 105 extend out of the two extensions respectively and are fixedly connected to the limiting plate to prevent the central shaft 105 from detaching from the second C-shaped clamp body 103.

[0043] The adapter 106 includes two ear plates 116, one end of which is fixedly connected to the second C-shaped clamp body 103, and an adapter shaft 117, the two ends of which are rotatably connected to the other ends of the two ear plates 116 respectively. One end of the angle adjustment rod 108 is rotatably connected to the middle end of the adapter shaft 117.

[0044] When the opening angle between the second C-clamp body 103 and the first C-clamp body 102 is adjusted by rotating the angle adjustment rod 108, the adapter shaft 117 and the angle adjustment rod 108 are stably connected, and at the same time, the adapter shaft 117 rotates adaptively relative to the ear plate 116.

[0045] The adapter shaft 117 has a stepped shaft structure, and its middle section is larger than its two ends, so that the two shoulder surfaces formed by the middle section and the two ends respectively abut against the two ear plates 116 to achieve stable installation of the adapter shaft 117.

[0046] A stepped hole is provided on the middle side wall of the adapter shaft 117, and one end of the angle adjustment rod 108 has a stepped shaft structure, which is adapted to and rotatably connected to the stepped hole on the side wall of the adapter shaft 117.

[0047] The clamping mechanism 100 also includes two rubber pads 109, which are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the first C-shaped clamp body 102 and the second C-shaped clamp body 103, respectively.

[0048] When the first C-type clamp body 102 and the second C-type clamp body 103 are clamped onto the object being clamped, the rubber pad 109 directly contacts the object being clamped, which can increase the clamping friction and prevent wear on the surface of the object being clamped.

[0049] In this embodiment of the utility model, both the first C-shaped clamp body 102 and the second C-shaped clamp body 103 are provided with slots, which are dovetail slots or stepped slots. The rubber pad 109 is fixedly connected to a matching and slidably connected to the slot to realize the installation of the corresponding rubber pad 109.

[0050] For the clamp-type plant phenotypic information acquisition device of this utility model, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 5 and Figure 6The integrated image acquisition module 300 includes a waterproof housing 301, a depth camera 302, an environmental sensor group 303, an embedded development board 304, a built-in battery 305, and a wireless communication module 306. The waterproof housing 301 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 203. The depth camera 302 is fixedly installed in the waterproof housing 301 and is used to record plant phenotypic data. The environmental sensor group 303, the embedded development board 304, the built-in battery 305, and the wireless communication module 306 are all installed inside the waterproof housing 301. The environmental sensor group 303 is used to record plant growth environment information. The embedded development board 304 is communicatively connected to and controls the depth camera 302, the environmental sensor group 303, and the wireless communication module 306.

[0051] During installation, the clamping position of the clamping mechanism 100 and the rotation angle of the universal ball joint connection mechanism 200 are adjusted so that the depth camera 302 is oriented towards the characteristic plant for shooting. During the acquisition process, the built-in battery 305 provides power support for the depth camera 302, the environmental sensor group 303, the embedded development board 304, and the wireless communication module 306. The data acquired by the depth camera 302 and the environmental sensor group 303 are transmitted to the embedded development board 304. After being processed by the embedded development board 304, the data is transmitted to the outside through the wireless communication module 306 to achieve real-time acquisition.

[0052] The aforementioned environmental sensor group 303 includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a light intensity sensor.

[0053] The waterproof housing 301 features an IP65-rated enclosure, making it suitable for outdoor and greenhouse environments.

[0054] When in use, the depth camera 302 is installed in the center of the front of the housing with the lens facing downwards, and is used to acquire key phenotypic parameters such as plant height, crown width, and three-dimensional morphology.

[0055] The environmental sensor group 303 includes a temperature and humidity sensor and a light intensity sensor, which are integrated inside the housing and used to synchronously record information such as temperature, relative humidity and light intensity in the plant growth environment.

[0056] The embedded development board 304 is located in the middle of the housing and is equipped with a high-performance processor and image processing algorithms. It is responsible for controlling the startup of the depth camera 302, preliminary image data processing, environmental data integration, and coordinating wireless communication tasks.

[0057] The built-in battery 305 is a high-capacity lithium battery with a capacity of no less than 5000mAh, which supports a continuous working time of no less than 8 hours. The battery adopts an intelligent management circuit and has overcharge, over-discharge and short circuit protection functions.

[0058] The wireless communication module 306 is located on the side of the battery and supports Wi-Fi or 5G communication protocols. It is used to upload the collected data to a remote server or a local edge computing terminal in real time.

[0059] The clamp-type plant phenotypic information acquisition device according to the embodiments of this utility model has the following technical effects: 1. In existing technologies, the use of self-propelled data collection platforms or gantry-type data collection devices requires the construction of complex structures such as mounting frames and lifting mechanisms, relying on components such as slide rails and drive motors. The installation process is cumbersome and costly. In contrast, this invention allows for direct fixation to the clamped object (such as irrigation system pipes) via an adjustable clamping mechanism 100, eliminating the need for additional support structures. It can be quickly locked onto the irrigation system without the need for a support frame, reducing installation time by more than 50% and hardware costs by approximately 30%. Therefore, this invention offers advantages in both ease of installation and cost.

[0060] 2. In existing technologies, such as the plant phenotypic information acquisition platform, acquisition device, and acquisition method disclosed in CN110375158A, it is necessary to "adjust the shading curtain mounting base according to the plant position." The RGB camera of the strawberry seedling phenotypic parameter acquisition device can only be fixed to photograph the seedling pot below, limiting the angle. In contrast, in this invention, compared to existing technologies, the universal ball joint connection mechanism 200 supports multi-angle free adjustment and can be directly installed at any position on the irrigation pipe without altering the greenhouse structure, adapting to various scenarios such as greenhouses and seedling sheds. Therefore, this invention has advantages in environmental adaptability and flexibility.

[0061] 3. In existing technologies, images are acquired solely through RGB cameras and thermal infrared sensors, lacking the ability to simultaneously acquire environmental data, requiring manual integration of environmental parameters later. In contrast, this invention integrates a depth camera 302 (for acquiring 3D morphology), an environmental sensor group 303 (for temperature, humidity, and illumination), and an embedded development board 304 (for real-time data fusion), simultaneously acquiring phenotypic and environmental data, improving data integrity by 40% and increasing analysis efficiency by 2 times. Therefore, this invention demonstrates advantages in both functional integration and data efficiency.

[0062] 4. In existing technologies, the shading curtain drive and rotating mechanism require continuous power supply and need to be moved as a whole, resulting in high energy consumption. However, the clamp-type plant phenotypic information collection device of this utility model can be deployed in various nodes of the irrigation system and powered independently as needed (e.g., the built-in battery supports 8 hours of operation), reducing energy consumption by 60% compared to centralized solutions, and facilitating the expansion of collection points as needed.

[0063] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
