Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an iron shovel for bagging saffron bulbs. Background Art

[0002] Saffron, also known as Crocus sativus, is a perennial herb with an oblate bulb about 3 cm in diameter and a yellow-brown membrane coating. Saffron has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, cooling blood and detoxifying, relieving depression and calming the mind. Only the three red stigmas on the upper part of the pistil style are used as medicine, which is expensive, so it is planted more and more.

[0003] Saffron is mainly planted through bulbs. After the bulbs are harvested, they usually need to be screened. The screened bulbs will be collected and stored in double-layer mesh bags. When collecting, a shovel is usually used to transfer the bulbs, but the shovel is hard. When the operator swings the shovel with both hands, the bulbs hit by the front end of the shovel will often break or be cut off, causing bulb loss. In response to this, plastic shovels are now widely used to replace shovels to reduce damage to the bulbs. However, the texture of plastic shovels is also hard, and when they hit the bulbs during collection, they will still cause damage to the bulbs; moreover, when a large number of bulbs are loaded on the plastic shovel for transfer, the plastic shovel is often easily deformed and damaged due to limited bearing capacity, resulting in an inappropriate amount of loading each time, which affects the efficiency of collection.

[0004] When using a shovel or a plastic shovel to pour the bulbs into a double-layer mesh bag, another worker is often required to open the upper opening of the double-layer mesh bag with both hands. However, in practice, the upper opening opened by both hands is often not large enough and often makes it impossible for all the bulbs in the shovel to be poured into the bag smoothly. For example, some of the bulbs will fall back to the ground and need to be collected again, affecting efficiency.

[0005] Patent document (CN 211128863 U) discloses a shovel for engineering installation, which has a protective cover that can wrap the sharp part of the shovel head to protect the shovel head from damage. However, the shovel head is flat, with a pointed front end and sharp ends, which is suitable for digging holes, but not suitable for transferring bulbs in large quantities; and the protective cover needs to be removed when the shovel is used, that is, the protective cover is not firmly fixed on the shovel. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the problem that the above-mentioned iron shovel and plastic shovel are easy to damage the saffron bulbs in the process of collecting and transferring the bulbs, and the problem that part of the bulbs will fall back to the ground during bagging due to the limited opening range of the bag mouth and need to be collected again, the utility model provides a shovel for bagging saffron bulbs.

[0007] The utility model discloses a shovel for bagging saffron bulbs, comprising a shovel body and a handle, wherein the shovel body comprises a bottom plate, two side plates connected to the bottom plate and a rear plate, the handle is connected to the rear side of the rear plate, and elastic rubber protective sleeves are respectively fixedly installed at the front end of the bottom plate and the front end of the two side plates of the shovel body. In this way, the front end of the bottom plate and the front end of the two side plates of the shovel body are wrapped with an elastic elastic rubber protective sleeve, and when the bulbs are bagged, the bulbs can be prevented from directly colliding with the hard shovel body, and the impact on the bulbs can be greatly alleviated, thereby protecting the bulbs.

[0008] The elastic rubber protective sleeve is in the shape of a round rod as a whole, and has a groove opened along the length direction, and the width of the groove is consistent with the thickness of the bottom plate and the two side plates. In this way, it is easy to install, and after installation, a part of the round rod-shaped elastic rubber protective sleeve will be higher than the upper surface of the bottom plate, so that after the bulbs are loaded, it can prevent the bulbs at the bottom from sliding out of the shovel body, making loading and transfer more convenient; similarly, the part of the elastic rubber protective sleeve located on the inner side of the front end of the side plate can also play a role in preventing the bulbs from sliding out of the shovel body.

[0009] The two groove walls of the elastic rubber protective sleeve groove are bonded and fixed to the bottom plate and the two side plates through the adhesive layer. In this way, when installing, suitable glue is applied to the front end of the bottom plate and the front end of the two side plates to form an adhesive layer, and then embedded into the groove of the elastic rubber protective sleeve for bonding and fixing, which is very convenient for installation and fixing.

[0010] A rotating shaft and a limiting convex rod are provided on the front side of the outer side of one side plate, both of which are perpendicular to the outer side. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft and limited by the limiting convex rod. The limiting convex rod is located below the rotating shaft and on the side of the rotating shaft away from the front end of the side plate. When the rotating rod is supported and limited by the limiting convex rod, the free end of the rotating rod is lower than the bottom surface of the shovel body. In this way, when the bulbs contained in the shovel are transferred and poured into the double-layer mesh bag, because the shovel body is suspended in the air, the free end of the rotating rod is supported by the limiting convex rod and is lower than the bottom surface of the shovel body, that is, it extends out of the bottom surface of the shovel body, so that the upper opening of the double-layer mesh bag can be hooked, and then the upper opening of the double-layer mesh bag can be expanded by pulling the shovel back, so that the bulbs in the shovel body can be bagged smoothly. Moreover, when the shovel is considerately filled with bulbs, due to the ground resistance, the rotating rod will rotate until its free end is flush with the ground, without affecting the operation of filling the bulbs.

[0011] The rotating shaft and the limiting convex rod are both bolts and are welded to the outer side of the side plate; the rotating rod is an iron wire with a ring at one end, and the bolt of the limiting convex rod passes through the ring. In this way, the structure is simple.

[0012] Beneficial effects: The utility model fixes elastic rubber protective sleeves on the front end of the bottom plate of the shovel body and the front end of the two side plates respectively, so that in the process of collecting and transferring saffron bulbs, the hard shovel body can be prevented from directly colliding with the bulbs, and the impact on the bulbs can be greatly alleviated, thereby protecting the bulbs; the elastic rubber protective sleeve is set as a round rod with a groove as a whole, which is convenient for installation and can prevent the contained bulbs from sliding out of the shovel body after installation; the elastic rubber protective sleeve is bonded and fixed to the shovel body by using an adhesive layer, which is convenient for installation and fixing; a rotating shaft, a limiting protrusion and a rotating rod are arranged on one side plate, and when the bulbs are bagged, the free end of the rotating rod can hook the upper opening of the double-layer mesh bag and expand the upper opening, so as to facilitate smooth bagging of the bulbs; the rotating shaft and the limiting protrusion are set as bolts, and the rotating rod is set as an iron wire with a ring at one end, so the structure is simple.

[0016] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below through embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the utility model is a shovel for bagging saffron corms, comprising a shovel body 1 and a handle 2. The shovel body 1 comprises a bottom plate 11, two side plates 12 connected to the bottom plate 11 and a rear plate 13. The handle 2 is connected to the rear side of the rear plate 13. Elastic rubber protective sleeves 14 are respectively fixedly installed at the front end of the bottom plate 11 and the front end of the two side plates 12 of the shovel body 1. The thickness of the bottom plate 11, the side plates 12 and the rear plate 13 are all the same, about 5 mm.

[0018] Specifically, the elastic rubber protective sleeve 14 is in the shape of a round rod with a diameter of 2-4 cm and has a groove 141 opened along the length direction. The width of the groove 141 is consistent with the thickness of the bottom plate 11 and the two side plates 12. The two groove walls of the groove 141 of the elastic rubber protective sleeve 14 are bonded and fixed to the bottom plate 11 and the two side plates 12 by a glue layer. The glue layer is formed by applying glue to the front end of the bottom plate and the front end of the two side plates. As long as the elastic rubber protective sleeve 14 can be firmly fixed and bonded to the shovel body 1, the type of glue is not particularly limited, such as epoxy glue.

[0019] A rotating shaft 15 and a limiting protrusion 16, both perpendicular to the outer side surface, are provided on the front side of the outer side surface of one side plate. A rotating rod 17 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 15 and limited by the limiting protrusion 16. The limiting protrusion 16 is located below the rotating shaft 15 and on the side of the rotating shaft away from the front end of the side plate; when the rotating rod 17 is supported and limited by the limiting protrusion 16, the free end of the rotating rod 17 is lower than the bottom surface of the shovel body 1. Specifically, the above-mentioned rotating shaft 15 and the limiting convex rod 6 are bolts, which are fixed to the outer side of the side plate by welding. The end point of the bolt head is about 5mm away from the outer side of the side plate, and is smaller than the thickness of the elastic rubber protective sleeve located on the outer side of the side plate. In addition, the bolt as the rotating shaft is close to the elastic rubber protective sleeve at the front end of the side plate. In this way, when the bulb is contained, the elastic rubber protective sleeve on the outer side of the side plate blocks the bolt in front and the bulb that touches the elastic rubber protective sleeve on the side plate will be diverted to both sides of the side plate by the side plate, so the head of the bolt at the rear will not directly contact the bulb and damage the bulb; of course, the elastic rubber protective sleeve head can also be put on the head of the bolt. The rotating rod 17 is made of iron wire, one end of which is bent into a ring and passed through by the bolt as the rotating shaft. When the iron wire rotates, the iron wire rotates around the screw of the bolt.

[0020] In actual use, after holding the handle 2 of the shovel with both hands and applying force, the elastic rubber protective cover 14 at the front end of the shovel body 1 will hit the saffron bulbs, but the elastic rubber protective cover 14 is elastic and can greatly alleviate the force to prevent the bulbs from being damaged. After the bulbs are placed on the shovel body 1 and then transferred to the opening of the double-layer mesh bag, the shovel is suspended in the air, and the free end of the rotating rod 17 extending from the bottom of the shovel body 1 can hook the upper opening of the double-layer mesh bag, and the upper opening of the double-layer mesh bag is expanded as the shovel is pulled back, so that the bulbs can be poured into the double-layer mesh bag more conveniently and smoothly.

[0021] The above-mentioned technologies not specifically mentioned are all referred to the prior art.

[0022] As described above, although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it should not be construed as limiting the present invention itself. Various changes in form and details may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
