摘要： The current grafting machine employs a fixed-angle cutting method, which fails to adapt to changes in the pith cavity resulting from variations in seedling age. Additionally, cutting wounded rootstock seedlings occasionally leads to grafting failures. To enhance cutting precision and adaptability in machine grafting, this study proposes a rootstock adaptive cutting method capable of achieving variable-angle precision cutting for rootstocks at different seedling ages. Firstly, a visual image recognition system is established to obtain characteristic parameters of rootstocks' external and internal pith cavities at varying seedling ages. Subsequently, a geometric model of the rootstock pith cavity is constructed to determine precise cutting parameters. The study analyzes the growth pattern and correlation between external morphological features and the internal pith cavity of rootstocks at different seedling ages. A logistic model establishes the dynamic growth process of six exterior features of rootstocks. At the same time, a polynomial function is fitted to depict the dynamic growth process of the pith cavity vertex-cotyledon intersection. Furthermore, regression models of rootstock external characteristics and pith cavity vertex-cotyledon intersection were constructed. Using the pith cavity vertex-cotyledon intersection as an intermediate bridge, a prediction model is created to determine the short axis of the seedling stem and precise cutting angle based on the adaptive method. Validation tests are conducted to evaluate the proposed models. The results demonstrate that the growth patterns of the six external characteristics of rootstocks follow an "S" curve, indicating that seedlings aged between 1 and 9 days are suitable for cutting, with the pith cavity vertex located below the cotyledon intersection, meeting the cutting requirements. Additionally, all six external features significantly correlate negatively with the pith cavity vertex-cotyledon intersection (P <= 0.01). The seedling stem short axis prediction model and precise cutting angle shows a satisfactory residual distribution. The model achieves an 86 % success rate in rootstock cutting and a 4 % occurrence of cutting through the pith cavity, demonstrating its ability to predict variations in the seedling stem short axis and precise cutting angle. The findings of this study provide a foundation for the design and implementation of adaptive cutting in grafting robots, thereby improving the adaptability and safety of machine grafting on seedlings.
