Abstract: Using hyper spectral or multispectral cameras and so on to detect the growth status information of plants is a necessary step to carry out the precise regulation in facility horticulture.To develop the advanced detection equipment that can carry cameras to move automatically, so as to improve the detection efficiency and detection effect, is an urgent demand to do the work of precise control of plants in facility horticulture.In the paper, the design of a kind of electric platform is introduced.A function expanding scheme is adopted on the existing facilities horticulture transplanting machine, a camera carrying platform with a PLC and servo drive units is reasonably added; its mechanical structure consists of synchronous belt wheel, screw wire female vice, irregular lifting platform, walking device, a double beam orbit and so on.Practice shows that the expended equipment can carry cameras to move in three dimensions freely, and realize the new function of carrying several kinds of cameras to do the detection of crop growth status information effectively. The design which has saved the development cost and an area of space, improved the function level of horticultural facility equipment effectively is worth promoting.
