Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of grafting tool technology, specifically to a grafting tool for camellias and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] Camellias, as beautiful ornamental plants, are often cultivated and appreciated. The ever-blooming camellia, in particular, is especially popular due to its long flowering period. Grafting is an important cultivation technique for ever-blooming camellias, allowing them to bloom for an even longer period and produce a wider variety of colors. After initial grafting, to prevent water loss from the cut surface, the graft should be sealed in a bag to improve its survival rate. The general steps are as follows: first, wrap the graft union with tape, then cover it with a plastic bag and seal it tightly.

[0003] However, in practice, the bagging step has certain drawbacks. If the size of the plastic bag used for bagging is close to the size of the grafting point, it will be difficult to fit. Furthermore, due to the irregularity of the grafting point, it is easy to pull and collide with the grafted seedling during the bagging process, resulting in damage. If a plastic bag that is much larger than the size of the grafting point is chosen, on the one hand, the bagging area will be too large, which is not conducive to placement. On the other hand, due to the limited placement space, the plastic bags will be stacked and gathered. At this time, the light transmittance of the stacked area is different from that of the single layer, which will result in uneven light intensity and affect subsequent growth. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a grafting tool for camellias and its application method, solving the problems existing in current grafting bagging methods.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a grafting tool for camellias, wherein the grafting tool is used to bag the grafted camellias using plastic film and plastic binding tape. The tool includes a first component and a second component, which are symmetrically arranged and rotatably connected to each other. A spring is provided between the first and second components to allow them to return to their original position. An electric heating sealing device and a grafting scissor blade are sequentially arranged on opposite sides of the first and second components. The electric heating sealing device is used to seal the plastic film and plastic binding tape. The grafting scissor blade is used to cut the grafted branches into a shape suitable for grafting. A housing is fixedly connected to the pivot end connecting the first and second components. A protruding post is rotatably connected to the center of the housing. A binding tape disc is fitted and secured to the outer wall of the protruding post. Plastic binding tape is layered and wound around the outer wall of the binding tape disc.

[0006] Preferably, one side of component one is rotatably connected to one side of component two to form a V-shaped structure, the electric heating sealing device is disposed on the other side of component one and component two, and the grafting scissors are disposed in the middle of component one and component two.

[0007] Preferably, the middle part of component one and the middle part of component two are rotatably connected to form an X-shaped structure, the electrothermal sealing device is disposed on one side of component one and component two, and the grafting scissors are disposed on the other side of component one and component two.

[0008] Preferably, the electrothermal sealing device includes an electrothermal element and a pressure plate. The electrothermal element provides heat for the sealing operation, and its terminals pass through the first component and are slidably connected to it. A second spring is sleeved on the terminal, and the two ends of the second spring are connected to the outer wall of the first component and the bottom wall of the electrothermal element, respectively. A power source is installed inside the first component, and the connection contacts of the power source correspond one-to-one with the terminals of the electrothermal element. The pressure plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second component and corresponds to the electrothermal element. It works with the electrothermal element to generate clamping pressure on the plastic film and plastic strap during the sealing operation. The pressure plate also serves to dissipate heat.

[0009] Preferably, there are two heating elements arranged side by side in parallel, with a rotating blade parallel to them between them. The highest point of the top of the rotating blade is lower than the highest point of the top wall of the heating element, and the lowest point of the top of the rotating blade is higher than the lowest point of the top wall of the heating element. The rotating blade is driven by a motor. A groove is provided in the middle of the pressure plate, and the groove corresponds to the rotating blade.

[0010] Preferably, there are two heating elements arranged side by side in parallel, with a three-bladed blade parallel to them between them. The three sides of the three-bladed blade are all sharpened, and its bottom wall is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the component. The highest point of the tip of the three-bladed blade is lower than the highest point of the top wall of the heating element, and the lowest point of the tip of the three-bladed blade is higher than the lowest point of the top wall of the heating element. A second groove is provided in the middle of the pressure plate, and the second groove corresponds to the three-bladed blade.

[0011] Preferably, a liquid storage cavity is provided in the second groove, the liquid storage cavity is used to hold coolant, and the outer wall of one side of the pressure plate is located in the liquid storage cavity and is in contact with the coolant.

[0012] Preferably, there are two shells, and the two outer walls are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft connecting component one and component two, and the ends of the two plastic straps are fixedly connected to each other.

[0013] Preferably, the method of using the grafting tool for camellias of all seasons includes the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: Hold the grafting tool and press down on the closed parts 1 and 2 to cut the grafting branches with the grafting blades so that they are suitable for subsequent grafting operations.

[0015] Step 2: After grafting, pull out the plastic film and wrap it around the grafting site and the exposed part of the branch opening. Then pull out the plastic binding tape and wrap it around the above-mentioned wrapping area. Using the electric heating sealing device, press the closing part one and part two to make the electric heating sealing device heat-press and seal the plastic binding tape, thereby making the plastic binding tape bind and fix the plastic film and the branch.

[0016] Step 3: Completely cover the graft with double plastic film, then use the grafting tool to press and close component one and component two, and use the electric heating sealing device to heat-seal the two overlapping plastic films. The grafting tool can be moved along the overall outline of the graft, and the electric heating sealing device can be kept running. This will make the two overlapping plastic films form a bag that is basically adapted to the graft, and the bagging operation is completed simultaneously.

[0017] Step 4: Pull out the plastic strap again and wrap it around the end of the bag. The electric heating sealing device will then heat-press and seal the plastic strap, thus completing the binding and fixing of the bag.

[0018] This invention provides a grafting tool for camellias and its method of use. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] This invention utilizes a grafting tool that employs plastic film and straps to bag the grafted camellia. Instead of traditional plastic bags, a plastic film is used. During bagging, the film is folded in half and used to cover the graft union. Then, an electrically heated sealing device is used to heat-seal the film along the edges of the graft union. This avoids pulling and collisions at the graft union during bagging and ensures the final bag shape perfectly matches the graft union. This minimizes space usage and prevents uneven light penetration caused by overlapping. Furthermore, the entire bagging process is simple and convenient, improving both quality and efficiency.

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 5 This invention provides a grafting tool for camellias. The grafting tool is used to bag the grafted camellias using a plastic film 1 and a plastic binding tape 2. It includes a first component 3 and a second component 4, which are symmetrically arranged and rotatably connected to each other. A spring 5 is provided between the first component 3 and the second component 4 to reset them. An electric heating sealing device and a grafting scissor blade 21 are arranged sequentially on the opposite sides of the first component 3 and the second component 4. The electric heating sealing device is used to seal the plastic film 1 and the plastic binding tape 2. The grafting scissor blade 21 is used to cut the grafted branches into a shape suitable for grafting. A housing 6 is fixedly connected to the pivot end connecting the first component 3 and the second component 4. A protruding post 7 is rotatably connected to the center of the housing 6. A binding tape disc 8 is sleeved and clamped on the outer wall of the protruding post 7. Plastic binding tape 2 is layered and wound around the outer wall of the binding tape disc 8.

[0037] By using grafting tools, plastic film 1 and plastic binding tape 2 are used to bag the grafted camellias. The traditional plastic bag is replaced with plastic film 1. During bagging, the plastic film 1 is folded in half and used to cover the grafting area. Then, an electric heating sealing device is used to heat-seal the plastic film 1 along the edge of the grafting shape. This avoids pulling and collisions at the grafting area during bagging and ensures that the final shape of the bag perfectly matches the shape of the grafting area. This not only minimizes space occupation but also avoids uneven light exposure caused by overlapping. Furthermore, the binding of the grafting area to the bagging area can be achieved quickly and securely using the plastic binding tape 2 and the electric heating sealing device, making the entire bagging process simple and convenient, improving both the quality and efficiency of bagging.

[0038] One side of component 3 is rotatably connected to one side of component 4 to form a V-shaped structure. The electric heating sealing device is set on the other side of component 3 and component 4, and the grafting shear blade 21 is set in the middle of component 3 and component 4.

[0039] By setting the grafting tool to a V-shaped structure, during operation, only part 3 and part 4 need to be pressed simultaneously to achieve heat sealing of the plastic film 1 and plastic binding tape 2 by the electric heating sealing device, and also to cut the grafted branches.

[0040] The electric heating sealing device includes an electric heating element 9 and a pressure plate 10. The electric heating element 9 provides heat energy for the sealing operation. Its terminals 11 pass through the first component 3 and are slidably connected to the first component 3. A second spring 12 is provided on the outer sleeve of the terminal 11, and the two ends of the second spring 12 are connected to the outer wall of the first component 3 and the bottom wall of the electric heating element 9, respectively. A power supply 13 is provided in the first component 3. The connecting contacts 14 of the power supply 13 correspond one-to-one with the terminals 11 of the electric heating element 9. The pressure plate 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second component 4 and corresponds to the electric heating element 9. It is used to cooperate with the electric heating element 9 to generate clamping pressure on the plastic film 1 and the plastic strap 2 during the sealing operation. At the same time, the pressure plate 10 is also used for heat dissipation.

[0041] When component 3 and component 4 are pressed simultaneously, the pressure plate 10 pushes the terminal 11 of the heating element 9 to slide to connect with the contact 14 of the power supply 13. At this time, the power supply 13 supplies power to heat the heating element 9. The pressing at the same time creates pressure between the heating element 9 and the pressure plate 10, thereby heating and pressurizing the plastic film 1 or plastic strap 2 by the heating element 9, and realizing the heat-pressing sealing operation.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] Please see the appendix Figure 6 -Appendix Figure 7 Based on the above embodiments, in order to further simplify the steps of the bagging process, namely the process of trimming the excess parts after hot pressing, this embodiment provides another structure of the electric heating element 9, wherein there are two electric heating elements 9, which are arranged side by side in parallel, and a three-bladed blade 18 parallel to them is arranged between them. The three sides of the three-bladed blade 18 are all sharpened, and its bottom wall is fixedly connected to the outer wall of component 3. The highest point of the top of the three-bladed blade 18 is lower than the highest point of the top wall of the electric heating element 9, and the lowest point of the top of the three-bladed blade 18 is higher than the lowest point of the top wall of the electric heating element 9. A second groove 19 is provided in the middle of the pressure plate 10, and the second groove 19 corresponds to the three-bladed blade 18.

[0044] The plastic film 1 and plastic strap 2 are clamped by the cooperation of two electric heating elements 9 and the pressure plate 10. The grafting tool is moved so that the plastic film 1 and plastic strap 2 are cut by the three-bladed blade 18 while being heated and pressed. This avoids the need for subsequent trimming, simplifies the bagging process, and further improves efficiency.

[0045] Example 3:

[0046] Please see the appendix Figure 8 -Appendix Figure 12Based on the above embodiments, in order to further improve the cutting efficiency and effect of the plastic film 1 and the plastic strap 2, that is, to reduce the difficulty of the cutting process and ensure the cutting result, this embodiment provides another cutting structure, wherein there are two heating elements 9, which are arranged side by side in parallel, and a rotating blade 15 parallel to them is arranged between them. The highest point of the top of the rotating blade 15 is lower than the highest point of the top wall of the heating element 9, and the lowest point of the top of the rotating blade 15 is higher than the lowest point of the top wall of the heating element 9. The rotating blade 15 is driven by a motor 16, and a groove 17 is opened in the middle of the pressure plate 10, which corresponds to the rotating blade 15.

[0047] The plastic film 1 and plastic strapping 2 are cut by rotating the blade 15 driven by the motor 16, which avoids cutting obstruction and pulling during the cutting process of the three-blade blade 18, thus improving both the cutting effect and the cutting speed, thereby increasing efficiency.

[0048] Example 4:

[0049] Please see the appendix Figure 8 -Appendix Figure 12 Based on the above embodiments, in order to solve the problem that the operation of the plastic strap 2 is relatively cumbersome during use, this embodiment provides another solution, that is, the number of shells 6 is two, and the two outer walls are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft connecting component 3 and component 4, and the ends of the two plastic straps 2 are fixedly connected to each other.

[0050] The method of using a single plastic strap 2 involves pulling it out, wrapping it around the grafting point, aligning it, and then sealing it with an electric heating sealing device. This method has certain drawbacks. On the one hand, each binding results in the waste of a certain length of plastic strap 2. On the other hand, since the length of the plastic strap 2 inside the housing 6 is limited, frequent replacements will affect the efficiency of use. Therefore, two housings 6 are provided, each containing rolls of plastic strap 2, and the two plastic straps 2 are connected. When in use, simply pull out the plastic strap 2, slip it onto the grafting point, and then perform a heat-pressing cut. With the dual electric heating elements 9, the two plastic straps 2 remain connected after being cut, facilitating subsequent use. The above design avoids the waste of plastic strap 2, and because two sets of plastic straps 2 are used simultaneously, it is equivalent to increasing the length of the plastic strap 2 in the housing 6, reducing the replacement frequency.

[0051] Example 5:

[0052] Please see the appendix Figure 12Based on the above embodiments, in order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the pressure plate 10 and enhance the effect of hot pressing and sealing, this embodiment provides another solution, namely, a liquid storage cavity 20 is provided in the groove 2 19. The liquid storage cavity 20 is used to hold coolant, and the outer wall of one side of the pressure plate 10 is located in the liquid storage cavity 20 and is in contact with the coolant.

[0053] To improve the efficiency of the hot pressing process between the plastic film 1 and the plastic strap 2, the pressure plate 10 is used to dissipate heat, allowing the plastic film 1 and the plastic strap 2 to cool and solidify rapidly after melting, thus quickly completing the hot pressing step. To further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the pressure plate 10, the pressure plate 10 is brought into contact with the coolant in the liquid storage chamber 20, so that the heat of the pressure plate 10 is conducted into the coolant, thereby ensuring the temperature stability of the pressure plate 10 and ensuring the stability of its heat dissipation performance during continuous use.

[0054] Example 6:

[0055] Please see the appendix Figure 13 Based on the above embodiments, in order to improve the cutting efficiency of the grafting scissors 21 on branches and reduce the cutting difficulty, this embodiment adopts another solution, namely, the middle part of component 3 and the middle part of component 4 are rotatably connected to form an X-shaped structure, the electric heating sealing device is set on one side of component 3 and component 4, and the grafting scissors 21 is set on the other side of component 3 and component 4.

[0056] By designing an X-shaped structure, the torque required by the hand during the cutting of the grafting shear blade 21 is increased, thereby reducing the force required by the hand and lowering the difficulty of cutting.

[0057] Example 7:

[0058] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 5 This embodiment provides a method for using a grafting tool for camellias, including the following steps:

[0059] Step 1: Hold the grafting tool and press down on the closing part 3 and part 4 to cut the grafting scissors 21 to make it suitable for subsequent grafting operations.

[0060] Step 2: After grafting, pull out the plastic film 1 and wrap it around the grafting point and the exposed part of the branch opening. Then pull out the plastic binding tape 2 and wrap it around the above-mentioned wrapping point. Using the electric heating sealing device, press the closing part 3 and part 4 to make the electric heating sealing device heat-press and seal the plastic binding tape 2, thereby making the plastic binding tape 2 bind and fix the plastic film 1 and the branch.

[0061] Step 3: Use plastic film 1 to completely cover the graft body, and then use the grafting tool to press and close the first part 3 and the second part 4. Use the electric heating sealing device to heat-seal the two overlapping plastic films 1. The grafting tool can be moved along the overall outline of the graft body. Keep the electric heating sealing device running continuously so that the two overlapping plastic films 1 can form a bag that is basically adapted to the graft body, and the bagging operation is completed at the same time.

[0062] Step 4: Pull out the plastic strap 2 again and wrap it around the end of the bag, so that the electric heating sealing device can heat-press and seal the plastic strap 2, thereby completing the binding and fixing of the bag.

[0063] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
