Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of protective devices, and more particularly to a protective device for horticultural herbaceous flowers. Background Technology

[0002] In horticulture, the healthy growth of herbaceous flowers depends on good soil aeration and looseness. However, as the root system extends downwards, the bottom soil easily becomes compacted, affecting the absorption of water and nutrients. Traditional methods of loosening soil require manual turning with tools such as shovels and rakes, which is not only inconvenient but also easily damages the flower roots. This is especially true in dense planting or potted conditions, where moving the plant or loosening the soil in deeper layers is even more difficult and may even damage the plant's shape. Existing soil loosening tools are mostly designed for shallow or field operations, making it difficult to effectively loosen deep soil without disturbing the flowers. Therefore, this invention provides a protective device that can loosen the bottom soil without moving the plant, solving the problems of inconvenient soil loosening and easy root damage in existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a horticultural herbaceous flower protection device that can loosen the bottom soil without moving the plant, so as to solve the problems of inconvenient soil loosening and easy damage to the root system in the prior art.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A horticultural herbaceous flower protection device includes:

[0006] A cultivation box, the cultivation box having a first accommodating space, the cultivation box having a vertical partition and a bottom plate enclosing the first accommodating space, the bottom plate having at least one first through hole, the first through hole being disposed through the wall thickness direction of the bottom plate, a support plate being disposed within the first accommodating space, the support plate dividing the first accommodating space into a planting area and a root growth area, the planting area, the support plate and the root growth area being arranged along the direction of gravity, the support plate having at least one second through hole, the two ends of the second through hole being respectively connected to the planting area and the root growth area, so that the plant roots in the planting area extend from the second through hole to the root growth area;

[0007] A soil loosening device includes a housing, at least one vibrating element, a soil conveying roller, and a soil backfilling roller. A cultivation box is connected to and supported by the soil loosening device. The housing has a second accommodating space, which is divided into a loosening zone and a backfilling zone. The root growth zone, the bottom plate, and the loosening zone are distributed along the direction of gravity. The first accommodating space, the vertical partition, and the backfilling zone are distributed along the horizontal direction. The root growth zone, the soil inlet of the second accommodating space, the loosening zone, the backfilling zone, the soil outlet of the second accommodating space, and the root growth zone are sequentially and cyclically connected. The vibrating element is connected to the housing and can shake the soil from the root growth zone to the loosening zone. The soil conveying roller is provided in the loosening zone to convey the soil shaken from the root growth zone to the backfilling zone. The backfilling zone is provided with a soil backfilling roller to backfill soil from the backfilling zone to the root growth zone.

[0008] Furthermore, both the soil conveying roller and the soil backfilling roller extend in a horizontal direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the loosened soil area slopes downwards towards the backfill area.

[0010] Furthermore, the vibrating element includes a motor and a helical rod. The motor is driven to connect with the helical rod, and the motor is used to drive the helical rod to rotate and vibrate. The helical rod extends horizontally toward the vertical partition and extends into the root growth zone. The cultivation box has a clearance through hole to avoid the helical rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the vibrating element is connected to the shaft of the soil conveying roller via a crank-slider mechanism to convert the rotational motion of the shaft of the soil conveying roller into linear motion that drives the auger rod away from or towards the backfill area.

[0012] Furthermore, the backfill area is provided with an arc-shaped guide plate, which extends along the height direction and in the direction close to the root growth area, and the arc-shaped guide plate arches away from the loosened soil area.

[0013] Furthermore, the box body is provided with a fertilizer inlet, and the two ends of the fertilizer inlet are connected to the loosening area and the external environment.

[0014] Furthermore, the cultivation box is provided with multiple slide rails spaced apart along the direction of gravity, the slide rails are arranged in a horizontal direction, and the support plate cooperates with one of the slide rails.

[0015] Furthermore, both the base plate and the vertical partition can be detachably connected to the cultivation box.

[0016] Furthermore, the box body is provided with a bottom plate insertion hole, and the bottom plate is inserted into the bottom plate insertion hole. The bottom plate is used to lock the relative position of the cultivation box and the box body.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] 1. A support plate with a second through hole is provided in the first accommodating space. During the soil loosening process, when the vibrator loosens the soil in the root growth zone and allows it to fall through the first through hole in the bottom plate into the loosened soil area below, the support plate provides stable physical support for the above-ground parts of the plant (stem and leaves) and its root base in the planting area, ensuring that the plant itself will not move downwards or collapse along with the loose soil. This support plate maintains the stability of the plant structure, avoiding the risk of the plant sinking, tilting, or even falling over due to gravity and vibration during large-scale soil shedding, ensuring that the normal growth posture and photosynthesis of the above-ground parts of the plant are not disturbed. The support plate supports the stem near the base of the plant and the younger or thicker main root and root neck located in the planting area that have not yet passed through the second through hole. The rigid support of the support plate and the root system in the planting area and its grip on the soil keep it fixed during the dynamic process of soil loss and vibration below, preventing excessive pulling or mechanical damage.

[0019] 2. It is worth noting that although the support plate secures the plant base and planting area, mature roots that have extended through the second through-hole into the root growth zone will naturally droop downwards and become exposed during soil shedding caused by vibration. The second through-hole on the support plate acts as a guide during this process. On one hand, the edge of the through-hole constrains the position of the roots as they emerge, preventing them from scattering disorderly or becoming excessively twisted; on the other hand, it provides a relatively stable starting point for the roots, allowing the suspended roots to maintain a relatively orderly state and re-engage with the subsequent loosened soil, establishing a new root-soil bond. This design enables automated soil loosening and circulation while the main plant structure remains intact. Although the roots experience soil shedding and backfilling, they adapt in an orderly manner, greatly reducing the plant stress response and physical damage risk caused by mechanical operations. This is the core guarantee for the device to achieve non-destructive, automated soil loosening.

[0020] 3. Based on the coordinated operation of the vibrator, soil conveying roller, and soil backfilling roller, an automatic soil loosening design is achieved. The vibrator uses high-frequency, low-amplitude mechanical wave energy to efficiently break up compacted soil and protect the roots. The vibration energy is designed to preferentially act on the cohesive forces between soil particles, rather than the resilient roots themselves. When the vibration is transmitted to the root growth zone through the base plate, the compacted soil layer surrounding the roots is rapidly broken and loosened due to the disruption of its internal structure, and naturally slides off the root surface due to gravity, entering the loosening zone through the first through-hole in the base plate. Since the vibration energy is mainly absorbed and dissipated by the soil, and the roots have a certain degree of flexibility and damping characteristics, they can remain relatively stable during vibration. The soil falling into the loosening zone is transported to the adjacent backfilling zone by the soil conveying roller. This process not only efficiently transfers the soil, but the rotation of the roller also further breaks up soil clumps and prevents secondary compaction of the soil during transportation. Finally, the soil backfilling rollers in the backfilling area operate synchronously, evenly throwing the loose soil delivered through the outlet back into the root growth zone where the roots have been exposed, quickly re-covering and wrapping the roots. This not only frees up manpower and avoids the risk of physical damage to the roots caused by traditional soil loosening, but also greatly improves soil aeration, drainage, and root vitality, providing a guarantee for healthy plant growth.

[0030] See Figures 1-5A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a horticultural herbaceous flower protection device, comprising a cultivation box 1 and a soil loosener 9. The cultivation box 1 has a first accommodating space 5, and the cultivation box 1 has a vertical partition 2 and a bottom plate 3 enclosing the first accommodating space 5. The bottom plate 3 has at least one first through hole 4, which is provided through the bottom plate 3 along the wall thickness direction. A support plate 7 is provided within the first accommodating space 5, and the support plate 7 divides the first accommodating space 5 into a planting area 502 and a root growth area 501. 02. The support plate 7 and the root growth zone 501 are arranged along the direction of gravity. The support plate 7 has at least one second through hole 8, and the two ends of the second through hole 8 are respectively connected to the planting zone 502 and the root growth zone 501, so that the plant roots in the planting zone 502 extend from the second through hole 8 to the root growth zone 501. The soil loosener 9 includes a box 901, at least one vibrating element 902, a soil conveying roller 903 and a soil backfilling roller 904. The cultivation box 1 is connected to the soil loosener 9 and is subjected to the soil loosening. The container 9 provides support; the box 901 has a second accommodating space 6, which is divided into a loosening area 601 and a backfilling area 602. The root growth area 501, the bottom plate 3, and the loosening area 601 are distributed along the direction of gravity. The first accommodating space 5, the vertical partition 2, and the backfilling area 602 are distributed along the horizontal direction. The root growth area 501, the soil inlet of the second accommodating space 6, the loosening area 601, the backfilling area 602, the soil outlet of the second accommodating space 6, and the root growth area 501 are all connected. 01 are sequentially connected in a cycle; the vibrating element 902 is connected to the housing 901, and the vibrating element 902 can shake the soil in the root growth zone 501 to the loosening zone 601. The loosening zone 601 is provided with the soil conveying roller 903, which is used to convey the soil shaken off from the root growth zone 501 to the backfilling zone 602. The backfilling zone 602 is provided with the soil backfilling roller 904, which is used to backfill the soil from the backfilling zone 602 to the root growth zone 501.

[0031] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Through the synergistic action of the cultivation box 1 and the soil loosener 9, the soil around the plant roots is automatically loosened and circulated. Plants are planted in the planting area 502 on the upper layer of the cultivation box 1, and their roots extend downwards through the second through-hole 8 on the support plate 7 to the root growth area 501 at the bottom. When loosening is needed, the vibrating element 902 of the soil loosener 9 is activated, generating vibration that is transmitted through the connected box 901 to the bottom plate 3 of the cultivation box 1 and the soil in the root growth area 501. The vibration energy mainly acts on the cohesive force between soil particles, effectively loosening and breaking up the compacted soil in the root growth area 501 and causing it to detach from the plant roots, while protecting the roots. The loosened soil falls through the first through-hole 4 in the bottom plate 3 into the loosening area 601 of the lower soil loosener 9 box 901 under gravity. The soil conveying roller 903 installed in the loosening area 601 then receives and horizontally transports this soil, transferring it to the adjacent backfill area 602. A soil backfilling roller 904 is installed in the backfilling zone 602. Its rotation causes loose soil to be thrown horizontally back into the root growth zone 501 of the cultivation box 1 through the outlet on the box 901, re-covering the exposed roots. The soil completes a cycle: after being shaken from the root growth zone 501, it falls through the first through-hole 4 of the bottom plate 3 into the loosening zone 601, is conveyed by the conveying roller to the backfilling zone 602, and then pushed back into the root growth zone 501 by the backfilling roller. The entire process forms a self-circulating system within the device, achieving efficient and non-destructive automated loosening, conveying, and backfilling of the soil in the root growth zone 501 without moving the plants or manual digging.

[0032] Clearly, based on the support plate 7 with the second through hole 8 in the first accommodating space 5, during the soil loosening process, when the vibrator 902 loosens the soil in the root growth area 501 and allows it to fall into the loosened soil area 601 below through the first through hole 4 of the base plate 3, the support plate 7 provides stable physical support for the above-ground parts of the plant (stem and leaves) and its root base in the planting area 502, ensuring that the plant itself will not move downwards or collapse along with the loose soil. The support plate 7 maintains the stability of the plant structure, avoiding the risk of the plant sinking, tilting, or even falling over due to gravity and vibration during large-scale soil shedding, and ensuring that the normal growth posture and photosynthesis of the above-ground parts of the plant are not disturbed. The support plate 7 supports the stem of the plant near the base and the younger or thicker taproot and root neck part located in the planting area 502 that has not yet passed through the second through hole 8. The rigid support of the support plate 7 and the root system of the planting area 502 and its gripping force on the soil keep it fixed in the dynamic process of soil loss and vibration below, and prevent it from being pulled too much or mechanically damaged.

[0033] It is worth noting that although the support plate 7 secures the plant base and planting area 502, mature roots that have extended through the second through-hole 8 into the root growth area 501 will naturally droop downwards and be exposed during soil shedding caused by vibration. The second through-hole 8 on the support plate 7 acts as a guide during this process. On one hand, the edge of the through-hole constrains the position of the roots as they emerge, preventing them from scattering disorderly or becoming excessively twisted. On the other hand, it provides a relatively stable starting point for the roots, allowing the suspended roots to maintain a relatively orderly state and re-engage with the subsequent loosened soil, establishing a new root-soil bond. This design enables automated soil loosening and circulation while the main plant structure remains intact. Although the roots experience soil shedding and backfilling, they adapt in an orderly manner, greatly reducing the risk of plant stress and physical damage caused by mechanical operations. This is the core guarantee for the device to achieve non-destructive and automated soil loosening.

[0034] Based on the coordinated operation of the vibrator, soil conveying roller 903, and soil backfilling roller 904, an automatic soil loosening design is achieved. The vibrator uses high-frequency, low-amplitude mechanical wave energy to efficiently break up compacted soil and protect the roots. The vibration energy is designed to preferentially act on the cohesive forces between soil particles, rather than the resilient roots themselves. When the vibration is transmitted to the root growth zone 501 through the base plate 3, the compacted soil layer surrounding the roots is rapidly broken and loosened due to the destruction of its internal structure, and naturally slides off the root surface due to gravity, entering the loosening zone 601 through the first through hole 4 of the base plate 3. Since the vibration energy is mainly absorbed and dissipated by the soil, and the roots have a certain degree of flexibility and damping characteristics, they can remain relatively stable during vibration. The soil falling into the loosening zone 601 is conveyed by the soil conveying roller 903 to the adjacent backfilling zone 602. This process not only efficiently transfers the soil, but the rotation of the roller also further breaks up soil clumps and prevents secondary compaction of the soil during transportation. Finally, the soil backfilling roller 904, located in backfilling zone 602, operates synchronously, evenly throwing the transported loose soil back into the root growth zone 501 where the roots have been exposed through the outlet, quickly re-covering and wrapping the roots. This not only frees up manpower and avoids the risk of physical damage to the roots caused by traditional soil loosening, but also greatly improves soil permeability, drainage, and root vitality, providing a guarantee for healthy plant growth.

[0035] In this embodiment, the loosening zone 601 and the backfilling zone 602 are arranged in an L-shape. Under the vibration of the vibrator, the soil in the root growth zone 501 can vertically receive the soil that is directly shaken down from the first through hole 4 of the bottom plate 3 of the cultivation box 1, making maximum use of gravity. Moreover, the first through hole 4 of the bottom plate 3 is less likely to be blocked, making the operation of the equipment more stable and reliable.

[0036] More preferably, both the soil conveying roller 903 and the soil backfilling roller 904 extend horizontally. This structure optimizes soil transfer efficiency and backfill uniformity. The horizontally arranged conveying rollers can smoothly and continuously transport the soil from the loosening zone 601 to the backfilling zone 602 via the shortest path, avoiding soil accumulation or blockage; then, the soil backfilling roller 904 directs it to the root growth zone 501. This parallel layout not only simplifies the transmission structure and reduces energy consumption, but also ensures the stability and controllability of the soil conveying and backfilling process through linear motion, effectively preventing local voids or uneven thickness, and providing a uniform growth environment for the roots. At the same time, the horizontal roller design facilitates maintenance and has low operating resistance, further improving system reliability.

[0037] More preferably, the bottom of the loosening zone 601 slopes downwards towards the backfill zone 602. This inclined structure fully utilizes gravity to allow the loosened soil after shaking to automatically slide along the slope towards the conveying roller, reducing soil retention. Simultaneously, the inclined transition creates a natural connection between the loosening zone 601 and the backfill zone 602. The soil conveying roller 903 is located at the bottom of the slope, making it easier for the roller to contact the soil and increasing its contact volume to improve backfilling efficiency. This ensures a seamless connection throughout the entire process from soil shaking to backfilling, further enhancing the continuity and reliability of the loosening cycle.

[0038] More preferably, the vibrating element 902 includes a motor 911 and a helical rod 912. The motor 911 is driven to drive the helical rod 912 to rotate and vibrate. The helical rod 912 extends horizontally toward the vertical partition 2 and extends into the root growth zone 501. The cultivation box 1 has a clearance through hole 101 to avoid the helical rod 912. The horizontally extending structure of the helical rod 912 allows it to penetrate deep into the root growth zone 501, forming a three-dimensional soil loosening network. This not only acts on the surface soil but also breaks up deep compacted areas, overcoming the limitation of traditional vibrating elements 902 which can only loosen the surface soil. The direct drive between the motor 911 and the helical rod 912 allows for precise control of the vibration frequency and loosening intensity by adjusting the rotation speed, meeting the differentiated needs of different plant root systems for soil loosening depth. This structure combines mechanical and vibratory soil loosening, achieving multi-functional soil loosening without increasing the size of the device, thus ensuring operational efficiency and avoiding secondary damage to plant roots.

[0039] More preferably, the vibrating element 902 is connected to the shaft of the soil conveying roller 903 via a crank-slider mechanism 10, so as to convert the rotational motion of the shaft of the soil conveying roller 903 into linear motion that drives the auger 912 away from or towards the backfill area 602. This design allows the auger 912 to generate horizontal reciprocating motion while rotating to loosen the soil, forming a composite loosening mode. On the one hand, the periodic advance and retreat of the auger 912 can expand the loosening range and improve the loosening efficiency; on the other hand, the inertial vibration generated by the reciprocating motion further enhances the soil breaking effect, making the compacted soil layer easier to break up. In particular, when the auger 912 moves away from the backfill area 602, it forms a negative pressure zone, which assists the soil in entering the backfill process and prevents soil from accumulating at the outlet.

[0040] More preferably, the backfill area 602 is provided with an arc-shaped guide plate 11, which extends along the height direction and in the direction close to the root growth area 501, and the arc-shaped guide plate 11 arches away from the loosening area 601. This design allows the blades or grooves on the surface of the soil backfill roller 904 to continuously throw the soil upward when it rotates horizontally, forming a uniform soil throwing trajectory. With the guiding effect of the arc-shaped guide plate 11, the thrown soil can pass through the outlet in a more dispersed state, effectively avoiding the local accumulation problem that may be caused by traditional horizontal pushing backfilling. The inertial force generated by the upward throwing action helps to further break up soil clumps, keeping the backfill soil in a loose state.

[0041] More preferably, the housing 901 is provided with a fertilizer inlet 12, the two ends of which connect the loosening zone 601 to the external environment. This inlet directly connects the loosening zone 601 to the external environment; when the vibrating element 902 shakes old soil into the loosening zone 601 during the loosening process, fertilizer or soil conditioner can be directly injected through this inlet. The horizontally positioned soil conveying roller 903, during soil transfer, naturally mixes the fertilizer and loosened soil thoroughly, forming a uniform fertilizer-soil complex. This allows the fertilizer to be precisely delivered to the root zone along with the backfilled soil, avoiding the nutrient loss problem associated with traditional surface fertilization. In particular, the fertilizer mixes with the soil in the loosening zone 601, solving the problem of difficult fertilization in compacted soil and promoting rapid fertilizer activation through mechanical action. This achieves simultaneous improvement of soil physical and chemical properties, providing a more comprehensive and optimized growth environment for plants.

[0042] More preferably, multiple slide rails 13 are spaced apart along the direction of gravity inside the cultivation box 1. These slide rails 13 extend horizontally, and the support plate 7 cooperates with one of the slide rails 13. This design, through the sliding connection between the slide rails 13 and the support plate 7, achieves multi-level adjustable depth of the planting area 502. Users can fix the support plate 7 to a suitable height on the slide rail 13 according to the growth characteristics of different plant roots, thereby customizing the spatial ratio between the planting area 502 and the root growth area 501. For shallow-rooted plants, the position of the support plate 7 can be lowered to reduce the depth of the root growth area 501; for deep-rooted varieties, the support plate 7 can be raised to expand the root development space. The horizontal extension design of the slide rails 13 ensures that the support plate 7 always remains horizontally stable, avoiding tilting problems caused by height adjustments. Simultaneously, the multi-slide rail structure provides multi-point rigid support for the support plate 7, effectively suppressing swaying of the support plate 7 during soil loosening and vibration, ensuring the stability of the upper planting substrate. This modular, highly adjustable mechanism allows a single device to adapt to the cultivation needs of a variety of horticultural plants, from herbaceous flowers to shrubs, significantly improving the equipment's versatility and efficiency.

[0043] More preferably, both the base plate 3 and the vertical partition 2 are detachably connected to the cultivation box 1. Users can quickly disassemble the base plate 3 or the partition as needed. After disassembly, compacted soil residue or root entanglement can be thoroughly removed, avoiding unsanitary corners caused by long-term use. Removing the base plate 3 can convert the device into a regular planting box, while removing the partition can expand the planting space to adapt to different cultivation scenarios. When it is necessary to move the plants, disassembling the base plate 3 and the partition makes it easier to clean the soil and remove the plants without damaging their root systems for easy transplanting.

[0044] More preferably, the housing 901 is provided with a bottom plate insertion hole 14, into which the bottom plate 3 is inserted. The bottom plate 3 is used to lock the relative position of the cultivation box 1 and the housing 901. This structure ensures the stability of the equipment while improving the ease of disassembly of the bottom plate 3, allowing for disassembly without separating the cultivation box 1 from the housing 901. Simultaneously, the bottom plate 3 acts as a locking element for the cultivation box 1, functioning as a pin to firmly fix the cultivation box 1 to the housing 901, thereby maintaining the stability of the soil loosener 9 during operation.
