Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural testing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a device for testing the lodging resistance of corn. Background Technology

[0002] As an important food crop, the lodging resistance of corn has a crucial impact on yield and quality. During the growth process of corn, corn with poor lodging resistance is prone to lodging under the influence of natural factors such as wind and rain, leading to reduced yield or even crop failure. Therefore, accurately testing the lodging resistance of corn is of great significance for screening superior varieties, evaluating planting effects, and taking targeted lodging resistance measures.

[0003] Existing institutions cannot adjust the height of the testing instrument according to the different heights of corn stalks, which means that it is necessary to find suitable corn stalks for testing the lodging resistance of corn stalks, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, the corn stalks and the kit cannot be stably fixed when testing for lodging resistance, and the kit is prone to sliding on the corn stalks when they fall, resulting in inaccurate test data.

[0004] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN219391662U discloses a corn stalk lodging resistance tester. This structure features a fixed testing mechanism that allows for fixation at different positions on the stalk, preventing slippage during testing and improving data accuracy. The internal threaded tube and second threaded rod allow for adjustment of the U-shaped block position, enhancing testing efficiency. Furthermore, the universal joint can simulate different lodging directions of the stalk. In terms of adjustment and adaptation, the included adjustment mechanism allows users to randomly select a corn stalk and adjust the mounting height by rotating the third threaded rod, securing the fixed component at the appropriate position on the stalk. This convenient operation eliminates the need to select stalks based on the tester's requirements, significantly improving the efficiency of lodging resistance testing and demonstrating strong practicality.

[0005] However, in actual use, the structure of the U-shaped block and the insert plate may only be suitable for corn stalks of a specific diameter. For stalks with large differences in thickness, different varieties, or different growth stages, it may not be able to be stably fixed, which may easily lead to slippage or damage to the stalks during testing.

[0028] 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.

[0029] The embodiments disclosed in this application are as follows: Figure 1-6 The device shown for testing the lodging resistance of corn includes a fixed frame 1, a stabilizing block 2 on the top of the fixed frame 1, a stabilizing frame 3 fixedly mounted on one side of the stabilizing block 2, a sliding groove on the surface of the fixed frame 1, a movable frame 4 inside the sliding groove, and connecting blocks 5 bolted to the interiors of both the stabilizing frame 3 and the movable frame 4. A fixing mechanism is provided on one side of the connecting block 5.

[0030] The fixing mechanism includes a U-shaped fixing frame 6 fixedly installed on one side of the connecting block 5. A first electric telescopic rod 7 is fixedly installed on both sides of the U-shaped fixing frame 6. A connecting frame 8 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first electric telescopic rod 7. An installation groove is opened on the surface of the connecting frame 8. A connecting plate 9 is inserted into the installation groove. A rubber layer 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 9. The connecting frame 8 and the connecting plate 9 are connected by bolts.

[0031] The inner wall of the U-shaped fixing frame 6 is provided with a guide groove, and a T-shaped slider 11 is slidably arranged inside the guide groove. One end of the T-shaped slider 11 is connected to the connecting frame 8.

[0032] The surface of the movable frame 4 is provided with a threaded groove. A stepper motor 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed frame 1. A threaded rod 13 is fixedly provided at the output end of the stepper motor 12, and the threaded rod 13 matches the threaded groove.

[0033] The stable frame 3 and the movable frame 4 are connected by bolts to the connecting block 5, which makes it easy to disassemble and replace the connecting block 5. Then, the first electric telescopic rod 7 is connected to the external power supply and started. The first electric telescopic rod 7 extends and drives the connecting frame 8 to move towards the corn plant. The connecting frame 8 slides in the guide groove on the inner wall of the U-shaped fixed frame 6 through the T-shaped slider 11 to ensure the stability of the movement.

[0034] When the connecting frame 8 approaches the corn plant, the rubber layer 10 on one side of the connecting plate 9 adheres to the corn plant. The first electric telescopic rods 7 on both sides work together to clamp the corn plant from both sides. The rubber layer 10 can increase friction and avoid damaging the plant.

[0035] Furthermore, when it is necessary to replace the rubber layer 10, unscrew the bolts between the connecting frame 8 and the connecting plate 9, and then pull the connecting plate 9 out of the mounting groove on the surface of the connecting frame 8, thereby removing the rubber layer 10 on one side of the connecting plate 9.

[0036] Reference Figure 2-3 As shown, an auxiliary mechanism is provided inside the fixed frame 1. The auxiliary mechanism includes a second electric telescopic rod 14 fixedly installed inside the fixed frame 1. An adjusting bar 15 is fixedly provided at the output end of the second electric telescopic rod 14. One end of the adjusting bar 15 is connected to the stabilizing block 2.

[0037] A universal joint 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed frame 1, a fixed seat 17 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the universal joint 16, and a protrusion 18 is fixedly provided on the surface of the fixed seat 17.

[0038] According to the height of the corn plant, the second electric telescopic rod 14 is connected to an external power source. Then, the second electric telescopic rod 14 is started by the controller 22. When the second electric telescopic rod 14 extends and retracts, it drives the adjusting bar 15 to move. The adjusting bar 15 pushes the movable frame 4 to slide in the groove to adjust the position of the movable frame 4.

[0039] If more precise or rapid adjustment of the position of the movable frame 4 is required, connect the stepper motor 12 to an external power supply, then set the rotation parameters of the stepper motor 12 through the controller 22, start the stepper motor 12, and the threaded rod 13 at its output end will start to rotate. Since the threaded rod 13 matches the threaded groove on the surface of the movable frame 4, the rotation of the threaded rod 13 drives the movable frame 4 to move up and down in the sliding groove on the surface of the fixed frame 1, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the height of the movable frame 4 and further adjust the position of the movable frame 4.

[0040] Reference Figure 4-5As shown, the protruding block 18 has a threaded ground cone 19 connected to its internal thread. One end of the threaded ground cone 19 is fixedly provided with a handle 20. The top of the U-shaped fixed frame 6 is fixedly installed with a push-pull force gauge 21. One side of the fixed frame 1 is fixedly installed with a controller 22. One side of the controller 22 is fixedly provided with a display screen 23.

[0041] Hold the handle 20 and rotate the threaded cone 19 so that it is screwed into the soil through the threaded hole on the protrusion 18. Utilize the friction between the threaded cone 19 and the soil, and in conjunction with the protrusion 18 on the fixing seat 17, to firmly fix the entire device to the ground. The universal joint 16 allows the fixing frame 1 to flexibly adjust its angle to adapt to different plant positions.

[0042] After the corn plant is fixed, the fixing frame 1 is manually rotated around the universal joint 16 to simulate the process of the corn plant falling over. During the rotation of the fixing frame 1, the corn plant is subjected to tension, which is transmitted to the U-shaped fixing frame 6. The push-pull force gauge 21 at the top of the U-shaped fixing frame 6 measures the magnitude of the tension in real time and transmits the data to the controller 22.

[0043] When the corn plant breaks due to insufficient tension, the push-pull force gauge 21 records the maximum tension value. The controller 22 processes the data and displays it on the display screen 23, allowing the tester to intuitively obtain the lodging resistance data of the corn plant.

[0044] Working principle of this utility model:

[0045] This utility model is a device for testing the lodging resistance of corn. When using the device, move the device next to the corn plant to be tested, hold the handle 20 and rotate the threaded ground cone 19 so that it is screwed into the soil through the threaded hole on the protrusion 18. Using the friction between the threaded ground cone 19 and the soil, and in conjunction with the protrusion 18 on the fixing seat 17, the entire device is firmly fixed to the ground. The universal joint 16 allows the fixing frame 1 to flexibly adjust the angle to adapt to different plant positions.

[0046] Next, according to the height of the corn plant, the second electric telescopic rod 14 is connected to an external power source. Then, the second electric telescopic rod 14 is started by the controller 22. When the second electric telescopic rod 14 extends and retracts, it drives the adjusting bar 15 to move. The adjusting bar 15 pushes the movable frame 4 to slide in the groove to adjust the position of the movable frame 4.

[0047] If more precise or rapid adjustment of the position of the movable frame 4 is required, connect the stepper motor 12 to an external power supply, and then set the rotation parameters of the stepper motor 12 through the controller 22. Start the stepper motor 12, and the threaded rod 13 at its output end will start to rotate. Since the threaded rod 13 matches the threaded groove on the surface of the movable frame 4, the rotation of the threaded rod 13 drives the movable frame 4 to move up and down in the sliding groove on the surface of the fixed frame 1, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the height of the movable frame 4 and further adjust the position of the movable frame 4.

[0048] The stable frame 3 and the movable frame 4 are connected by bolts to the connecting block 5, which makes it easy to disassemble and replace the connecting block 5. Then, the first electric telescopic rod 7 is connected to the external power supply and started. The first electric telescopic rod 7 extends and drives the connecting frame 8 to move towards the corn plant. The connecting frame 8 slides in the guide groove on the inner wall of the U-shaped fixed frame 6 through the T-shaped slider 11 to ensure the stability of the movement.

[0049] When the connecting frame 8 approaches the corn plant, the rubber layer 10 on one side of the connecting plate 9 adheres to the corn plant. The first electric telescopic rods 7 on both sides work together to clamp the corn plant from both sides. The rubber layer 10 can increase friction and avoid damaging the plant.

[0050] And when it is necessary to replace the rubber layer 10, unscrew the bolts between the connecting frame 8 and the connecting plate 9, and then pull the connecting plate 9 out of the mounting groove on the surface of the connecting frame 8, thereby removing the rubber layer 10 on one side of the connecting plate 9.

[0051] After the corn plant is fixed, the fixing frame 1 is manually rotated around the universal joint 16 to simulate the process of the corn plant falling over. During the rotation of the fixing frame 1, the corn plant is subjected to a pulling force, which is transmitted to the U-shaped fixing frame 6. The push-pull force gauge 21 at the top of the U-shaped fixing frame 6 measures the magnitude of the pulling force in real time and transmits the data to the controller 22. The push-pull force gauge 21 is a SHIMPO push-pull force gauge, and the controller 22 is an STM32F103 series microcontroller.

[0052] When the corn plant breaks due to insufficient tension, the push-pull force gauge 21 records the maximum tension value. The controller 22 processes the data and displays it on the display screen 23, which is a 23ILI9341 LCD display. The tester can intuitively obtain the lodging resistance data of the corn plant.

[0053] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
