Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of seedling transplant protection devices, in particular to a device for protecting root balls during the seedling transplant process. Background Art
[0002] The saplings used for afforestation are all raised in nurseries and then transplanted. To improve the survival rate of transplanted saplings, it is often necessary to retain the soil around the roots of the saplings during transplanting. To retain the soil around the roots of the saplings, the existing operation is to use a shovel or other manual or mechanical tools to dig up the soil around the saplings, retaining a portion of the soil at the roots of the saplings. This soil and the roots are then wrapped with hemp rope or cloth to prevent them from loosening or losing water during transportation.
[0003] For example, the existing publication number CN207167283U is a device for protecting the root ball of seedlings during transplanting, which specifically discloses that it includes two half-ring bodies, the two ends of the half-ring bodies are detachably engaged, and annular openings are provided on the two half-ring bodies. A shovel plate is provided in the annular opening, and the shovel plate slides along the length direction of the annular opening. The annular surfaces of the two half-ring bodies are respectively provided with mounting brackets, and the mounting brackets are respectively provided with semi-tubular sheaths. The semi-tubular sheaths are connected to the mounting brackets by supporting springs, and the semi-tubular sheaths are enclosed to form a chamber for enclosing the root ball. The two half-ring bodies are clamped on the seedlings, and the shovel plate is inserted into the annular opening. When the root ball of the seedling needs to be shoveled out, the soil ball can be easily dug out by hammering the upper end of the shovel plate. The shoveled soil ball can protect the root ball under the action of the semi-tubular sheaths inside the two half-ring bodies, thereby realizing the protection of the root ball of the seedling.
[0004] The existing root ball protection device for seedlings during transplantation requires long-term transportation of the protection device and the root ball, so the roots of the seedlings need to be regularly replenished with water. However, the existing root ball protection device for seedlings during transplantation does not have a water replenishment function. Therefore, we propose a root ball protection device for seedlings during transplantation. Utility Model Content

[0022] See also Figure 1-4The utility model provides a technical solution for a root ball protection device during seedling transplantation: a root ball protection device during seedling transplantation, comprising: a shell 1, the shell 1 is arranged in a ring shape, a support member 2 is fixedly installed in the shell 1, a groove 3 is provided on the support member 2, the groove 3 is a hemispherical surface, the lower end surface of the support member 2 is lower than the lower end surface of the shell 1, a ventilation groove 4 is provided at the bottom of the support member 2, the ventilation groove 4 extends into the groove 3, and a filter plate 5 is fixedly installed in the ventilation groove 4. A support plate 6 is fixedly mounted in the housing 1. The support plate 6 is located at the upper end of the support member 2. An annular container 7 is rotatably mounted in the support plate 6. A plurality of nozzles 8 distributed in a circumferential array are connected and fixedly mounted on the inner side of the annular container 7. The nozzles 8 are located at the upper end of the groove 3. A cavity 9 is formed in the housing 1. Two symmetrically distributed channels 10 are fixedly mounted on the upper end of the housing 1. The lower ends of the channels 10 are connected to the cavity 9, and the upper ends of the channels 10 are connected to the external space. A pressurizing mechanism is provided in each channel 10. A flow guide mechanism is provided on the housing 1. The flow guide mechanism is respectively connected to the cavity 9 and the annular container 7. The flow guide mechanism includes a plurality of inner tubes 11. The inner tubes 11 are disposed in the cavity 9. The lower ends of the inner tubes 11 extend to the lower end of the cavity 9. The upper ends of the inner tubes 11 are fixedly mounted on the housing 1. A plurality of hoses 12 are connected and fixedly mounted on the annular container 7. The other ends of the hoses 12 are fixedly mounted on the housing 1. The hoses 12 are respectively connected to the inner tubes 11. The pressurizing mechanism includes a piston 13, which slides within the channel 10. A piston rod 14 is fixedly mounted on each end of the piston 13. A connecting rod 15 is fixedly mounted between the two piston rods 14 on the same side. Each connecting rod 15 is fixedly mounted with a non-slip handle. By filling the cavity 9 with a certain amount of water and pressing the non-slip handle on the connecting rod 15, the water in the cavity 9 is pressurized, forcing the water into the inner tube 11, then into the annular container 7 through the hose 12, and finally discharged through multiple nozzles 8, spraying the water onto the root ball.
[0023] Among them, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the annular container 7 is fixedly mounted with multiple vertical rods 16 arranged in a circular array. The upper ends of the vertical rods 16 extend outside the housing 1, and each of the vertical rods 16 is fixedly mounted with a handle. A limit plate 17 is provided on each side of the vertical rods 16, and multiple limit plates 17 are arranged in a circular array.

[0024] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: by placing the root ball into the groove 3, the elastic force of the spring telescopic rod 18 drives the limiting plate 17 to press on the outside of the soil ball. Through the limiting effect of multiple limiting plates 17, the root ball is not easy to shake in the shell 1, which can effectively reduce physical damage to the root system, such as root breakage and tearing, thereby maintaining the integrity and absorption function of the root system.
[0025] By filling a certain amount of water into the cavity 9 and then pressing the non-slip handle on the connecting rod 15, the water in the cavity 9 is pressurized, the water is pressed into the inner tube 11, and then enters the annular container 7 through the hose 12, and finally discharged by multiple nozzles 8, so that the water is sprayed on the root soil ball. By holding the vertical rod 16 and rotating the vertical rod 16, the annular container 7 is driven to rotate back and forth within a certain angle, so that the water is evenly sprayed on the root soil ball. The water can penetrate into every corner of the soil ball, reducing the evaporation of water on the soil surface, thereby maintaining the water stability inside the soil ball, and effectively preventing the root system from being damaged by excessive water loss.
