Its core purpose is to quantitatively describe and understand the distribution, structure, biomass, morphological characteristics, physiological functions of meadow plant roots in the underground part and their relationships with environmental factors.

[0003] During the process of measuring meadow roots, in April, the growth bag needs to be buried in the soil of the meadow, and in September, the growth bag is taken out from the soil of the meadow to obtain the roots inside the growth bag, and then the obtained roots are measured and analyzed. However, after the roots of the plant grow into the growth bag from the outside, it will cause the growth bag to be tightly connected to the soil, making it difficult to efficiently take out the growth bag buried in the meadow soil; by using a forced extraction method, it is easy to pull out the roots of the plant from the growth bag or damage the growth bag, which is not conducive to the subsequent root measurement work; by using an excavation method to take out the growth bag, not only is the efficiency low, but also it will cause relatively serious damage to the meadow ecosystem; thus, there is a need to efficiently take out the growth bag buried in the soil.

[0004] Therefore, how to efficiently take out the growth bag buried in the soil is an urgent problem to be solved in this technical field. Summary of the Utility Model

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a growth bag for measuring meadow roots, including:

[0030] A positioning cylinder 1, inside which a connecting cylinder 2 is installed. The connecting cylinder 2 is detachably connected with a growth bag body 3. The positioning cylinder 1 is used for fitting into the ground of the meadow;

[0031] An annular cutting mechanism 4, which is rotatably connected to the positioning cylinder 1. The growth bag body 3 is located inside the annular cutting mechanism 4. The annular cutting mechanism 4 is used for rotating and cutting along the outer wall of the growth bag body 3 to cut off the connection between the roots in the growth bag and the outside;

[0032] A driving mechanism 5, which is detachably connected to the annular cutting mechanism 4. The driving mechanism 5 is used for driving the annular cutting mechanism 4 to rotate and for pulling the annular cutting mechanism 4 out of the soil of the meadow.

[0033] It can be understood that when burying in April, at the selected position in the meadow, a soil pit is dug by a spiral drill, and the excavated soil is placed on one side for standby. Subsequently, the growth bag body 3 is connected to the connecting cylinder 2, and the annular cutting mechanism 4 is placed into the soil pit together with the growth bag body 3. The top end of the positioning cylinder 1 is flush with the ground of the meadow. After screening out the larger debris in the soil, a part of the screened soil is filled into the growth bag body 3, and another part of the screened soil is filled between the annular cutting mechanism 4 and the soil pit, as well as between the positioning cylinder 1 and the soil pit. When taking out in September, the driving mechanism 5 is connected to the annular cutting mechanism 4, and the driving mechanism 5 drives the annular cutting mechanism 4 to rotate in the soil pit. The annular cutting mechanism 4 rotates and cuts along the outer wall of the growth bag body 3 to cut off the connection between the roots in the growth bag body 3 and the outside. Subsequently, the driving mechanism 5 drives the annular cutting mechanism 4 to be pulled out from the meadow soil. The annular cutting mechanism 4 drives the growth bag body 3 to be taken out from the soil pit. After disassembling the connection between the growth bag body 3 and the connecting cylinder 2, the roots obtained in the growth bag body 3 are measured and analyzed. After cleaning the positioning cylinder 1, the annular cutting mechanism 4 and the driving mechanism 5, they are ready for reuse. In this technical solution, the driving mechanism 5 drives the annular cutting mechanism 4 to rotate in the soil pit, so that the annular cutting mechanism 4 rotates and cuts along the outer wall of the growth bag body 3 to cut off the connection between the roots in the growth bag body 3 and the outside. Subsequently, the driving mechanism 5 drives the annular cutting mechanism 4 to be pulled out from the meadow soil, avoiding the situation of the roots being pulled out from the growth bag or the growth bag being damaged, avoiding damage to the meadow ecosystem, and realizing the efficient extraction of the growth bag buried in the soil.

[0034] As Figure 2 shown, the annular cutting mechanism 4 includes a docking cylinder 41, a plurality of cutting blades 42 and a plurality of support ring plates 43. The docking cylinder 41 is rotatably connected in the positioning cylinder 1, the docking cylinder 41 is detachably connected to the driving mechanism 5, a plurality of cutting blades 42 are symmetrically connected to the docking cylinder 41, and the support ring plates 43 are fixedly connected to the plurality of cutting blades 42.

[0035] It can be understood that when taking out in September, the driving mechanism 5 is connected to the docking cylinder 41. When the driving mechanism 5 drives the docking cylinder 41 to rotate, a plurality of cutting blades 42 rotate and cut along the outer wall of the growth bag body 3 to cut off the connection between the roots in the growth bag body 3 and the outside. By connecting the plurality of support ring plates 43 to the plurality of cutting blades 42, the moving positions of the plurality of cutting blades 42 are restricted, the structural strength of the plurality of cutting blades 42 is enhanced, and it is ensured that when the docking cylinder 41 rotates, the plurality of cutting blades 42 can rotate and cut along the outer wall of the growth bag body 3.

[0036] It should be noted that the cutting blade 42 is arranged in an arc-shaped plate to reduce the frictional resistance when the cutting blade 42 rotates in the soil.

[0037] As Figure 2 - Figure 3 shown, a limiting ring plate 11 is integrally provided on the inner wall of the positioning cylinder 1, a positioning ring plate 44 is integrally provided on the outer wall of the docking cylinder 41, a limiting cylinder 45 is penetrated through the docking cylinder 41, the limiting cylinder 45 is threadedly connected in the positioning cylinder 1. After the limiting cylinder 45 is threadedly connected in the positioning cylinder 1, a positioning groove is formed between the limiting cylinder 45 and the limiting ring plate 11, and the positioning ring plate 44 is slidably connected in the positioning groove.

[0038] It can be understood that after the growth bag body 3 is filled with soil and roots, it is difficult to take out the growth bag body 3 from the connecting cylinder 2; therefore, the docking cylinder 41 and the positioning cylinder 1 are set to be detachably connected, so that after the connection between the growth bag body 3 and the connecting cylinder 2 is disassembled, the growth bag body 3 can be taken out from the annular cutting mechanism 4; the annular cutting mechanism 4 is driven by the driving mechanism 5 to be pulled out from the soil of the meadow. After the annular cutting mechanism 4 drives the growth bag body 3 to be taken out from the soil pit, the connection between the limiting cylinder 45 and the positioning cylinder 1 is disassembled, and the docking cylinder 41 is taken out from the positioning cylinder 1, so that the growth bag body 3 filled with soil and roots can be separated from the plurality of cutting blades 42. Subsequently, after the connection between the growth bag body 3 and the connecting cylinder 2 is disassembled, the roots obtained in the growth bag body 3 are measured and analyzed; during installation, after the growth bag body 3 is connected in the connecting cylinder 2, the growth bag body 3 penetrates into a plurality of support ring plates 43, and then the docking cylinder 41 penetrates into the positioning cylinder 1, and then the limiting cylinder 45 is threadedly connected with the positioning cylinder 1. After the limiting cylinder 45 is connected in place, a positioning groove is formed between the limiting cylinder 45 and the limiting ring plate 11, and the positioning ring plate 44 is slidably connected in the positioning groove, thereby restricting the movement position of the docking cylinder 41.

[0039] As Figure 2 shown, a cutting ring 46 is connected between the plurality of cutting blades 42. The cutting ring 46 is located below the growth bag body 3, and a plurality of cutting wires 47 are alternately arranged in the cutting ring 46. The cutting wires 47 are used to cut off the roots below the growth bag body 3.

[0040] It can be understood that when the plurality of cutting blades 42 rotate and cut along the outer wall of the growth bag body 3, only the connection between the roots on the peripheral wall of the growth bag body 3 and the outside can be cut off, and the connection between the roots below the growth bag body 3 and the outside cannot be cut off; therefore, a cutting ring 46 is connected between the plurality of cutting blades 42, and a plurality of cutting wires 47 are alternately arranged in the cutting ring 46. When the plurality of cutting blades 42 rotate and cut along the outer wall of the growth bag body 3, the cutting ring 46 drives the cutting wires 47 to rotate and cut, thereby cutting off the connection between the roots below the growth bag body 3 and the outside.

[0041] As Figure 3 - Figure 5As shown, a fixing cylinder 21 is threadedly connected to the connecting cylinder 2. A snap ring 22 is integrally provided inside the fixing cylinder 21. An annular card 31 is provided at the bag mouth of the growth bag body 3. After the fixing cylinder 21 is threadedly connected to the connecting cylinder 2, the annular card 31 is clamped between the snap ring 22 and the connecting cylinder 2.

[0042] It can be understood that when connecting the growth bag body 3 to the connecting cylinder 2, the growth bag body 3 is inserted into the connecting cylinder 2. The annular card 31 abuts against the top end of the connecting cylinder 2. Subsequently, the fixing cylinder 21 is threadedly connected to the connecting cylinder 2. After the fixing cylinder 21 is connected in place, the snap ring 22 clamps the annular card 31 on the connecting cylinder 2, thereby realizing the connection between the growth bag body 3 and the connecting cylinder 2.

[0043] As Figure 6 shown, the driving mechanism 5 includes a driving rod 51. Two connecting columns 52 are integrally provided on the driving rod 51. A docking block 53 is provided at the bottom end of the connecting column 52. The docking block 53 is provided with a limiting bayonet 54. Two limiting blocks 48 are integrally provided at the top end of the docking cylinder 41. The limiting blocks 48 are snap-fitted with the limiting bayonet 54.

[0044] It can be understood that when taking out in September, the two docking blocks 53 are extended into the gap between the positioning cylinder 1 and the connecting cylinder 2 through two connecting rods. The two docking blocks 53 are respectively snap-fitted with the two limiting blocks 48 through the limiting bayonets 54. Subsequently, the driving rod 51 is rotated. The driving rod 51 drives the docking cylinder 41 to rotate through the snap-fitting of the docking block 53 and the limiting block 48. The multiple cutting blades 42 rotate and cut along the outer wall of the growth bag body 3, cutting off the connection between the roots in the growth bag body 3 and the outside; subsequently, the driving rod 51 is pulled upward. The driving rod 51 drives the docking cylinder 41 to move upward through the snap-fitting of the docking block 53 and the limiting block 48. The docking cylinder 41 drives the positioning cylinder 1, the multiple cutting blades 42 and the growth bag body 3 containing soil and roots to be pulled out of the soil.

[0045] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, a plurality of limiting plates 12 are integrally provided on the outer wall of the positioning cylinder 1. The limiting plates 12 are used for being embedded in the ground of the meadow so that the positioning cylinder 1 cannot rotate when it is embedded in the ground of the meadow.

[0046] It can be understood that when the annular cutting mechanism 4 is placed into the soil pit together with the growth bag body 3, the multiple limiting plates 12 are embedded in the ground of the meadow until the top end of the positioning cylinder 1 is flush with the ground of the meadow. When the driving mechanism 5 drives the docking cylinder 41 to rotate, the multiple limiting plates 12 limit the positioning cylinder 1, so that the positioning cylinder 1 does not rotate together with the docking cylinder 41, so as to ensure that the multiple cutting blades 42 rotate and cut stably along the outer wall of the growth bag body 3.

[0047] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0048] As mentioned above, the above is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model can easily think of changes or replacements, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
