Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gardening and greening, in particular to a capitulum supporting device. Background Art
[0002] As people's quality of life improves, their demand for new varieties of garden plants is also increasing. Asteraceae, as the largest family of angiosperms, includes more than 900 genera. Among them, chrysanthemum, sunflower, Jerusalem artichoke, echinacea, etc. are all important ornamental plants, playing an important role in urban greening and beautification. Since Asteraceae plants are usually highly ornamental, have a long flowering period, and are highly resistant to stress, they are deeply loved by people, and breeding work is very important. Cross-pollination is an important part of the selection and breeding of new varieties. Because the head inflorescence of Asteraceae plants is heavy, during emasculation, cross-pollination, and after pollination, the neck often bends due to wind and other reasons, resulting in losses in breeding work.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a capitula support device to support the capitula after Asteraceae breeding, so as to reduce labor input and breeding losses. Utility Model Content
[0004] The embodiment of the utility model provides a capitulum supporting device, which can stably support the capitulum of flowers and plants of the Asteraceae family and prevent bending.
[0005] The utility model provides a capitulum supporting device, comprising:
[0006] A conical torus, with a through-length notch on the side wall, the torus is made of elastic material, and the inflorescence to be supported is embedded into the torus by opening the notch;
[0007] A support rod, arranged at the bottom end of the torus;
[0008] A connecting rope is connected to the support rod and is used to fix the support rod to the main stem at the lower end of the inflorescence to be supported.
[0009] In a possible design, the top of the torus is in the shape of a downwardly curved surface.
[0010] In a possible design, the side wall of the torus is a grid structure.
[0011] In a possible design, the support rod includes at least a first round tube and a second round tube, the first round tube is sleeved in the second round tube, an outer thread is provided on the outer wall of the first round tube, a second inner thread is provided on the inner wall of the second round tube, and the outer thread and the second inner thread match each other;
[0012] One end of the first circular tube away from the second circular tube is connected to the bottom end of the torus.
[0013] In a possible design, a pointed tip is provided at one end of the second round tube away from the first round tube.
[0014] In a possible design, a plastic cap for sleeve-mounting the pointed tip is connected to the bottom end of the connecting rope.
[0015] In a possible design, an identification plate is provided on the torus.
[0016] The embodiment of the utility model provides a device for supporting an inflorescence head. By providing a through-length notch, the inflorescence head to be supported can be embedded in the receptacle, thereby preventing the inflorescence from swinging under the influence of wind and rain after pollination. A support rod is provided at the bottom end of the receptacle, and the other end of the support rod is inserted into the ground to play a supporting role; the connecting rope can bind the main stem of the inflorescence and the support rod together to further prevent the inflorescence from shaking and improve stability. It can be seen that the present application can stably support the inflorescence of Asteraceae flower plants and prevent the inflorescence from bending. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0031] like Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a capitulum supporting device, comprising:
[0032] The conical torus 1 has a through-length notch on its side wall. The torus 1 is made of elastic material, and the inflorescence to be supported is embedded into the torus 1 by opening the notch.
[0033] A support rod 2 is arranged at the bottom end of the torus 1;
[0034] The connecting rope 3 is connected to the support rod 2 and is used to fix the support rod 2 to the main stem at the lower end of the inflorescence to be supported.
[0035] In this embodiment, by providing a through-length notch, the inflorescence to be supported can be embedded in the receptacle 1, thereby preventing the inflorescence from swinging under the action of wind and rain. A support rod 2 is provided at the bottom end of the receptacle 1, and the other end of the support rod 2 is inserted into the ground to play a supporting role; the connecting rope 3 can bind the main stem of the inflorescence and the support rod 2 together, further preventing the inflorescence from shaking and improving stability. It can be seen that the present application can stably support the inflorescence of Asteraceae plants and prevent the inflorescence from bending.
[0036] In some embodiments, the top of the torus 1 is in the shape of a downwardly curved surface.
[0037] In this embodiment, by setting the top of the torus 1 to be curved, the contact surface between the petals and the torus 1 can be made smoother, thereby preventing the inflorescence from being scratched.
[0038] In some embodiments, the side wall of the torus 1 is a grid structure.
[0039] In this embodiment, the grid structure can make the receptacle 1 more light-permeable and water-permeable, which is conducive to the growth of the inflorescence. In addition, the grid structure has strong stability, light weight, and stronger practicality.
[0040] In some embodiments, the support rod 2 includes at least a first round tube 21 and a second round tube 22, the first round tube 21 is sleeved in the second round tube 22, an outer thread is provided on the outer wall of the first round tube 21, a second inner thread is provided on the inner wall of the second round tube 22, and the outer thread and the second inner thread match each other;
[0041] One end of the first circular tube 21 away from the second circular tube 22 is connected to the bottom end of the torus 1 .
[0042] In this embodiment, the support rod 2 is a telescopic rod. When the plant is short, there is no need to unscrew the first round tube 21 from the second round tube 22. When the plant grows taller, a longer support rod 2 is needed. At this time, by screwing the first round tube 21 clockwise, the first round tube 21 can be unscrewed from the second round tube 22, so that the support rod 2 is extended to accommodate the taller plant. Similarly, by screwing the first round tube 21 counterclockwise, it can be stored in the second round tube 22.
[0043] In some embodiments, a pointed tip 5 is provided at one end of the second circular tube 22 away from the first circular tube 21 to facilitate inserting the support rod 2 into the soil.
[0044] In some embodiments, a plastic cap 6 for fitting the pointed head 5 is connected to the bottom end of the connecting rope 3. When the supporting device is idle, the plastic cap 6 is fitted on the pointed head 5 to prevent scratches on the operator.
[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, a sign 4 is provided on the receptacle 1. The sign 4 can be used to record the male parent, female parent, pollination date and maintenance unit of pollination, etc., so that the growth status of the plant can be recorded.
[0046] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the statement "comprise a ..." do not exclude the presence of other identical factors in the process, method, article or device including the elements.
