Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of ground cover transportation, and in particular to a device and method for removing potted ground cover plants from their pots. Background Technology
[0002] Ground cover plants are often used in the greening of buildings. By using the shortest and densest layer of plants, the gaps between the building and the ground are covered and "stitched" together, creating a living and functional base.
[0003] Because ground cover plants are fragile during transportation, and are convenient to handle and stack, transporting them in pots can greatly reduce the risk of damage, and their root systems are well protected. Removing the plant from its pot removes the barrier between the plant and the pot, allowing its roots to come into direct contact with the new soil. This helps the plant roots absorb nutrients and water from the new soil more effectively, thus promoting plant growth and development. However, during planting, potted ground cover plants need to have their pots removed, which can be tedious and time-consuming, easily leading to wasted time and piles of waste after removal, causing inconvenience to planting and cleanup work. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To facilitate the on-site removal of ground cover plants from their pots and improve work efficiency, this application provides a device and method for removing potted ground cover plants from their pots.
[0005] Firstly, this application provides a device for removing potted ground cover plants from their pots, which adopts the following technical solution: A device for removing potted ground cover plants includes a base and a pressing mechanism. The base is equipped with a cutting mechanism and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is equipped with a gripping mechanism. The cutting mechanism includes multiple support columns, all of which are rotatably connected to the base via a first spring-loaded assembly. A cutting blade is mounted on each support column via a fixing assembly.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when removing ground cover plants from their pots, the stems of the ground cover plants are first fixed by the pressing mechanism, and then the potted plants are pressed between multiple support columns by the pressing mechanism. At this time, the cutting blade cuts the pot of the potted plant, and then the pressing continues. At this time, the locking mechanism limits the pot, and the grabbing mechanism grabs the pot, thereby realizing the on-site removal of ground cover plants from their pots and improving work efficiency.
[0007] Optionally, the first rebound assembly includes multiple fixing rods, all of which are fixedly connected to the base. One end of each fixing rod away from the base is fixedly connected to a first fixing seat. Multiple support columns are rotatably connected to multiple first fixing seats. A first spring is fixedly connected to each first fixing seat. The other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the support column. A limit ring is fixedly connected to all of the multiple first fixing seats.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotational connection between the support column and the first fixed seat enables the support column to rotate, while the setting of the first spring enables the support column to rebound, thereby allowing multiple support columns to clamp flower pots of different sizes, and thus enabling the cutting blade to cut flower pots of different sizes, improving the applicability of the entire device.
[0009] Optionally, the fixing component includes multiple fixing blocks, which are respectively fixedly connected to multiple support columns. The fixing blocks have slots on their end faces away from the support columns. The side walls on both sides of the slots have first through holes and screw holes, respectively. The cutting blade is inserted into the slot and is inclined. The side wall of the cutting blade has a second through hole. The fixing component also includes fixing bolts, which pass through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence and are threaded into the screw holes. An arc-shaped hoop is also fixedly connected to the support column.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the fixing block and fixing bolt realizes the detachable connection of the cutting blade, which makes it easier to replace the damaged cutting blade; and the inclination setting of the cutting blade provides a better angle for cutting the flower pot, and the horizontal arc hoop keeps the cut flower pot within a certain range to avoid excessive displacement.
[0011] Optionally, the base has a mounting groove on its end face near the cutting blade, an annular groove on the side wall of the mounting groove, and a first sliding groove on the top wall of the annular groove. The latching mechanism includes a mounting base, which is inserted into the mounting groove. A limit block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting groove and is rotatably connected to the annular groove. A third spring is fixedly connected to the mounting base, and a spring-loaded seat is fixedly connected to the end of the third spring away from the mounting base. Multiple latching posts are mounted on the spring-loaded seat via a second spring-loaded assembly, and latching teeth are formed on the side wall of each latching post.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the cutting operation is completed, the grabbing mechanism breaks through the flowerpot to grab it. At this time, the potted plant is lifted upward, and then the flowerpot is fixed in the buckling mechanism under the action of the buckling column and teeth, realizing the stacking effect. Then, when a certain number of flowerpots are stored in the buckling mechanism, the limiting block is rotated to the position of the first slide groove by rotating the mounting base, and then the buckling mechanism is moved out of the base to realize the removal of the flowerpot.
[0013] Optionally, the second rebound assembly includes a plurality of second fixing seats, all of which are fixedly connected to the end face of the rebound seat away from the mounting seat. The plurality of latching posts are rotatably connected to the plurality of second fixing seats respectively. A second spring is fixedly connected to the second fixing seat, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the latching post.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotational connection between the buckle post and the second fixed seat enables the buckle post to rotate, while the setting of the second spring enables the buckle post to rebound, thereby allowing multiple buckle posts to limit the flower pots of different sizes, improving the applicability of the entire device.
[0015] Optionally, the gripping mechanism includes a main shaft, which is fixedly connected to the end face of the spring seat away from the mounting base. A tapered head is fixedly connected to the end face of the main shaft away from the spring seat. A plurality of gripping rods are also rotatably connected to the main shaft, and the plurality of gripping rods are all located at the end of the main shaft away from the spring seat. A plurality of tension rods are also slidably connected to the main shaft through a third spring assembly. The end of the tension rod away from the main shaft is hinged to the gripping rod.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the flowerpot is pressed down and cut, the conical head will first puncture the bottom of the flowerpot. Then, as the flowerpot continues to be pressed down, the gripping rod will contract due to the pressure. When the gripping rod is completely inside the flowerpot, the pull rod will drive the gripping rod to expand under the action of the third rebound component, thereby limiting the flowerpot. Thus, the limiting of the flowerpot after it is pressed down is achieved. At this time, the lifting and pressing mechanism can be used to separate the potted plant from the flowerpot.
[0017] Optionally, the third rebound assembly includes a sliding ring slidably connected to the main shaft, and the ends of the plurality of tension rods away from the gripping rod are all hinged to the sliding ring. A fixing ring is also fixedly connected to the main shaft, and a fourth spring is also sleeved on the main shaft. The two ends of the fourth spring are fixedly connected to the sliding ring and the fixing ring, respectively.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the flowerpot is pressed down and cut, the contraction of the gripping rod drives the tension rod to rotate, which in turn drives the sliding ring to slide. The sliding ring drives the fourth spring to compress. When the gripping rod is completely inside the flowerpot, the fourth spring drives the sliding ring to slide, and the sliding ring drives the tension rod to rotate, which in turn drives the gripping rod to expand and return to its original state. Thus, the automatic gripping of the gripping mechanism and the limiting of the flowerpot are realized.
[0019] Optionally, the pressing mechanism includes multiple U-shaped pressing plates, which are connected together by connecting rods, and handles are fixedly connected to the two connecting rods at both ends.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the U-shaped pressing plate is set to clamp and fix the stem of the ground cover plant. After cutting, the U-shaped pressing plate is tilted to one side, and the potted plant can fall off naturally, achieving the purpose of separating the potting soil from the flower pot. The handle improves the comfort of pressing, and the connection of multiple U-shaped pressing plates enables the simultaneous repotting of multiple potted plants, improving the efficiency of repotting.
[0021] Optionally, a second sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of both sides of the U-shaped pressing plate. The pressing mechanism also includes an adjustment component, which includes a sliding rod that is slidably connected in the second sliding groove. A fifth spring is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the second sliding groove. The other end of the fifth spring is fixedly connected to the sliding rod. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod away from the fifth spring.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, since different ground cover plants have different stem diameters, the U-shaped pressing plate has a poor fixing effect on ground cover plants with smaller stem diameters; the setting of the clamp and the fifth spring enables the fixing of ground cover plants with different stem diameters, thereby improving the applicability of the pressing mechanism.
[0023] Secondly, this application also provides a method for removing potted ground cover plants from their pots, employing the following technical solution: A method for removing potted ground cover plants from their pots includes the following steps: Step 1: First, attach multiple U-shaped pressing plates to the stems of multiple ground cover plants, and then adjust the sliding rod to make the plates clamp the ground cover plants tightly; Step 2: Place the potted plant between the support pillars by pulling the handle, then press down the handle to press the potted plant down. At this time, the cutting blade will cut the flower pot open. Step 3: After the potted plant continues to be pressed down, the cone-shaped head pierces the bottom of the flowerpot, causing the grabbing rod to slide into the flowerpot and unfold. Then, the flowerpot is limited by the interaction between the grabbing rod and the locking post, and the flowerpots are stacked. Step 4: Then tilt the U-shaped pressing plate to one side, and the potted plant will fall off naturally, achieving the purpose of separating the potting soil from the flowerpot. Then manually pull the handle to remove the ground cover plant from the flowerpot. Step 5: When a certain number of flower pots are stored in the buckling mechanism, rotate the mounting base to move the limiting block to the position of the first slide groove, and then move the buckling mechanism out of the base to remove the flower pots.
[0024] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When removing ground cover plants from their pots, the stems of the ground cover plants are first fixed by the pressing mechanism. Then, the potted plants are pressed between multiple support columns by the pressing mechanism. At this time, the cutting blade cuts the pot of the plant. Then, the pressing continues. At this time, the locking mechanism limits the pot, and the grabbing mechanism grabs the pot, thus realizing the on-site removal of ground cover plants from their pots and improving work efficiency. 2. The rotatable connection between the support column and the first fixed seat enables the support column to rotate, while the setting of the first spring enables the support column to rebound, thereby allowing multiple support columns to clamp flower pots of different sizes, which in turn allows the cutting blade to cut flower pots of different sizes, improving the applicability of the entire device. 3. After the cutting operation is completed, the grabbing mechanism breaks through the flower pot to grab it. At this time, the potted plant is lifted upwards, and then the flower pot is fixed in the buckling mechanism under the action of the buckling column teeth to achieve a stacking effect. Then, when a certain number of flower pots are stored in the buckling mechanism, the limiting block is rotated to the position of the first slide groove by rotating the mounting base. Then the buckling mechanism is moved out of the base to remove the flower pots. 4. When the flowerpot is pressed down and cut, the conical head will first pierce the bottom of the flowerpot. Then, as the flowerpot continues to be pressed down, the gripping rod will contract due to the pressure. When the gripping rod is completely inside the flowerpot, the pull rod will expand under the action of the third rebound component, thereby limiting the flowerpot. This achieves the limitation after the flowerpot is pressed down. At this time, the lifting and pressing mechanism can separate the potted plant from the flowerpot. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-10 This application will be described in further detail.
[0028] This application discloses a device for removing potted ground cover plants.
[0029] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The device for removing ground cover plants from their pots includes a base 1 and a pressing mechanism 5. The base 1 is equipped with a cutting mechanism 2 and a locking mechanism 3, and the locking mechanism 3 is equipped with a gripping mechanism 4. When removing ground cover plants from their pots, the pressing mechanism 5 first fixes the stem of the ground cover plant, and then the potted plant is pressed into the locking mechanism 3 by the pressing mechanism 5. At this time, the cutting mechanism 2 cuts the pot of the plant, and then the pressing continues. At this time, the locking mechanism 3 limits the pot, and at the same time, the gripping mechanism 4 grips the pot, thereby realizing the on-site removal of ground cover plants from their pots and improving work efficiency.
[0030] refer to Figure 2and Figure 3 The pressing mechanism 5 includes multiple U-shaped pressing plates 51, which are connected together by connecting rods 52. The ends of the two connecting rods 52 located at both ends are fixedly connected to handles 53. The inner walls on both sides of the U-shaped pressing plates 51 are provided with second sliding grooves 511. The pressing mechanism 5 also includes an adjusting component 54, which includes a sliding rod 542. The sliding rod 542 is slidably connected in the second sliding groove 511. A fifth spring 543 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the second sliding groove 511. The other end of the fifth spring 543 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 542. The end of the sliding rod 542 away from the fifth spring 543 is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 541.
[0031] The U-shaped pressing plate 51 clamps and fixes the stem of the ground cover plant. After cutting, tilting the U-shaped pressing plate 51 to one side allows the potted plant to fall off naturally, achieving the purpose of separating the potting soil from the flowerpot. The handle 53 improves the comfort of pressing, and the connection of multiple U-shaped pressing plates 51 allows multiple potted plants to be moved at the same time, improving the efficiency of potting. Furthermore, since different ground cover plants have different stem diameters, the U-shaped pressing plate 51 is less effective at fixing ground cover plants with smaller stem diameters. The clamping plate 541 and the fifth spring 543 fix ground cover plants with different stem diameters, thereby improving the applicability of the pressing mechanism 5.
[0032] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cutting mechanism 2 includes multiple support columns 21, all of which are rotatably connected to the base 1 via a first spring-loaded assembly 22. A cutting blade 23 is mounted on the support column 21 via a fixing assembly 24. The first spring-loaded assembly 22 includes multiple fixing rods 221, all of which are fixedly connected to the base 1. A first fixing seat 222 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing rod 221 away from the base 1. The multiple support columns 21 are rotatably connected to the multiple first fixing seats 222 respectively. A first spring 223 is fixedly connected to the first fixing seat 222. The other end of the first spring 223 is fixedly connected to the support column 21. A limit ring 224 is fixedly connected to all the multiple first fixing seats 222.
[0033] When the potted plant is pressed by the pressing mechanism 5, the potted plant is located between multiple support columns 21. At this time, the cutting blade 23 cuts the potted plant. The rotational connection between the support column 21 and the first fixed seat 222 enables the support column 21 to rotate. At the same time, the setting of the first spring 223 enables the support column 21 to rebound, so that multiple support columns 21 can clamp pots of different sizes, and thus the cutting blade 23 can cut pots of different sizes, improving the applicability of the entire device.
[0034] The fixing component 24 includes multiple fixing blocks 241, which are fixedly connected to multiple support columns 21. The fixing blocks 241 have slots on their end faces away from the support columns 21. The side walls on both sides of the slots have first through holes and screw holes respectively. The cutting blade 23 is inserted into the slot and is set at an angle. The side wall of the cutting blade 23 has a second through hole. The fixing component 24 also includes fixing bolts 242, which pass through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence and are threaded into the screw holes. An arc-shaped hoop 243 is also fixedly connected to the support column 21.
[0035] The setting of the fixing block 241 and the fixing bolt 242 enables the detachable connection of the cutting blade 23, which facilitates the replacement of the damaged cutting blade 23; and the inclination of the cutting blade 23 is set to provide a better angle for cutting the flower pot, and the transverse arc hoop 243 keeps the cut flower pot within a certain range to prevent it from being excessively displaced.
[0036] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The base 1 has an installation groove 11 on the end face near the cutting blade 23. An annular groove 12 is provided on the side wall of the installation groove 11. A first sliding groove 13 is provided on the top wall of the annular groove 12. The buckling mechanism 3 includes an installation seat 31, which is inserted into the installation groove 11. A limit block 32 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the installation groove 11. The limit block 32 is rotatably connected to the annular groove 12. A third spring 33 is fixedly connected to the end face of the installation seat 31 near the cutting blade 23. A spring-loaded seat 34 is fixedly connected to the end of the third spring 33 away from the installation seat 31. A plurality of buckling posts 35 are installed on the spring-loaded seat 34 through a second spring-loaded assembly 36. The side wall of the buckling post 35 is provided with buckling teeth.
[0037] After the cutting operation is completed, the grabbing mechanism 4 breaks through the flowerpot to grab it. At this time, the potted plant is lifted upward, and then the flowerpot is fixed in the buckling mechanism 3 under the action of the buckling post 35 teeth, achieving a stacking effect. Then, when a certain number of flowerpots are stored in the buckling mechanism 3, the limiting block 32 is rotated to the position of the first slide groove 13 by rotating the mounting base 31, and then the buckling mechanism 3 is moved out of the base 1 to remove the flowerpot.
[0038] refer to Figure 8The second rebound assembly 36 includes multiple second fixing seats 361, all of which are fixedly connected to the end face of the rebound seat 34 away from the mounting seat 31. Multiple locking posts 35 are rotatably connected to the multiple second fixing seats 361 respectively. A second spring 362 is fixedly connected to the second fixing seat 361, and the other end of the second spring 362 is fixedly connected to the locking post 35. The rotatable connection between the locking post 35 and the second fixing seat 361 realizes the rotation of the locking post 35. At the same time, the setting of the second spring 362 realizes the rebound of the locking post 35, thereby enabling the multiple locking posts 35 to limit the flower pots of different sizes, improving the applicability of the entire device.
[0039] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The gripping mechanism 4 includes a main shaft 41, which is fixedly connected to the end face of the return seat 34 away from the mounting seat 31. A tapered head 42 is fixedly connected to the end face of the main shaft 41 away from the return seat 34. Multiple gripping rods 43 are also rotatably connected to the main shaft 41. The multiple gripping rods 43 are all located at the end of the main shaft 41 away from the return seat 34. Multiple tension rods 44 are also slidably connected to the main shaft 41 through a third return assembly 45. The end of the tension rod 44 away from the main shaft 41 is hinged to the gripping rod 43. The third return assembly 45 includes a sliding ring 451, which is slidably connected to the main shaft 41. The ends of the multiple tension rods 44 away from the gripping rods 43 are all hinged to the sliding ring 451. A fixed ring 452 is also fixedly connected to the main shaft 41. A fourth spring 453 is also sleeved on the main shaft 41. The two ends of the fourth spring 453 are fixedly connected to the sliding ring 451 and the fixed ring 452, respectively.
[0040] When the flowerpot is pressed down and cut, the conical head 42 first punctures the bottom of the flowerpot. Then, as the flowerpot continues to be pressed down, the gripping rod 43 contracts due to the pressure, causing the tension rod 44 to rotate, which in turn causes the sliding ring 451 to slide. The sliding ring 451 causes the fourth spring 453 to compress. When the gripping rod 43 is completely inside the flowerpot, the fourth spring 453 causes the sliding ring 451 to slide, and the sliding ring 451 causes the tension rod 44 to rotate, which in turn causes the gripping rod 43 to expand and return to its original state, thus limiting the flowerpot. This achieves the limitation after the flowerpot is pressed down. At this time, the lifting and pressing mechanism 5 is pulled to separate the potted plant from the flowerpot.
[0041] This application also discloses a method for removing potted ground cover plants from their pots.
[0042] A method for removing potted ground cover plants from their pots includes the following steps: Step 1: First, attach multiple U-shaped pressing plates 51 to the stems of multiple ground cover plants, and then adjust the sliding rod 542 to make the clamping plates 541 clamp the ground cover plants. Step 2: Place the potted plant between multiple support columns 21 by pulling the handle 53, and then press down the handle 53 to press down the potted plant. At this time, the cutting blade 23 cuts the flower pot open. Step 3: After the potted plant continues to be pressed down, the cone head 42 pierces the bottom of the flowerpot, causing the grabbing rod 43 to slide into the flowerpot and unfold. Then, the flowerpot is limited by the interaction between the grabbing rod 43 and the buckling post 35, and the flowerpots are stacked. Step 4: Then tilt the U-shaped pressing plate 51 to one side, and the potted plant will fall off naturally, achieving the purpose of separating the potting soil from the flower pot. Then manually pull the handle 53 to remove the ground cover plant from the flower pot. Step 5: When a certain number of flower pots are stored in the buckling mechanism 3, rotate the mounting base 31 to rotate the limiting block 32 to the position of the first slide groove 13, and then move the buckling mechanism 3 out of the base 1 to remove the flower pots.
[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
