Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of seeders, in particular to a seeder used for propagation of moss plant stem cuts. Background Art

[0002] As a unique ecological resource, mosses are widely used in fields such as gardening, ecological restoration, and experimental research. Due to their strong adaptability and ease of cultivation, mosses occupy a key position in modern landscape design and environmental protection. Mosses reproduce in many ways, including sexual and asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction typically occurs through spore production, while asexual reproduction relies on asexual division of stem segments, leaves, or branches. Stem fragmentation is a common asexual reproduction method for mosses and is often used to sow mosses in landscaping.

[0003] The crushed stems and leaves of mosses are small in size and fragile in structure, and are easily damaged during the reproduction process, which can easily affect the survival rate and reproduction efficiency. Most of the existing seeders are designed for crops, mainly used to process larger-particle seeds, which can meet the sowing needs of crops. However, these seeders are not suitable for the reproduction of mosses. Because the stem segments of mosses are small and fragile in structure, traditional seeders cannot meet the special requirements of moss plant stem-broken reproduction. The sowing of mosses requires a more sophisticated processing method to ensure the uniform distribution of the stem segments and meet the growth conditions. Therefore, there is a lack of sowing equipment specifically designed for mosses on the market to deal with the problems in moss reproduction. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a seeder for propagating moss plant stems by cutting, so as to solve the problems of uneven sowing and easy damage of stem segments in existing seeders.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A seeder for propagating moss plants by cutting stems comprises: a seeder pot, a fixed handle cover and a rotating handle cover, wherein a plurality of round holes are evenly distributed on the seeder pot, the fixed handle cover is arranged on the top of the seeder pot, and a fixed handle is provided on the fixed handle cover, a crusher base or a rotating handle cover is arranged on the bottom of the seeder pot, and a rotating handle is provided on the rotating handle cover; the seeder pot automatically crushes the moss plants through the crusher connected to the crusher base; and the seeder pot manually sows the moss plants through relative rotation of the rotating handle.

[0007] Preferably, the seeding tank is connected to the crusher base by threads.

[0008] Preferably, the device further comprises a seeding tank shell, which is sleeved on the outside of the seeding tank.

[0009] Preferably, the seeding tank shell is a hollow cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the seeding pot is a hollow cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, a smooth mounting hole is provided on the fixed handle cover, and the fixed handle is installed in the smooth mounting hole.

[0012] Preferably, a threaded mounting hole is provided on the rotating handle cover, and the rotating handle is installed in the threaded mounting hole.

[0013] Preferably, the tails of the fixed handle and the rotating handle cover are both provided with foam for cushioning.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] Improved sowing efficiency: The automatic crushing function of the crusher base can quickly break the moss plant stems into suitable lengths for sowing, greatly saving the time and effort of manual crushing. At the same time, manually rotating the sowing pot for sowing is also faster than traditional manual sowing, thus improving the overall sowing efficiency of moss plant stem fragmentation propagation.

[0016] Guaranteed sowing quality: The evenly spaced sowing holes on the sowing pot and the rotating sowing pot ensure that the moss stems are evenly distributed on the substrate, avoiding the accumulation or omission that can occur with traditional sowing methods. This uniform sowing method is conducive to the growth and development of mosses and improves sowing quality.

[0017] Highly adaptable: The design of this combined seeder is highly flexible, allowing adjustments to suit the growth habits and sowing requirements of different mosses. For example, the crushing force and speed of the crusher base can be adjusted to accommodate mosses with different stem thicknesses; the rotation speed and angle of the seeding tank can be varied to adjust the density and uniformity of sowing. This adaptability makes the seeder widely applicable for propagating various mosses from broken stems.

[0018] Easy to operate and maintain: The structure of this combined seeder is relatively simple, and the various components connect and cooperate very easily. During use, the moss plants can be crushed and sown with a simple rotation and installation operation. Furthermore, each component can be independently disassembled and cleaned, facilitating subsequent maintenance and upkeep. This ease of operation and maintenance reduces operational difficulty and costs for users.

[0019] Environmentally friendly and energy-saving: This combined seeder is made of environmentally friendly materials such as stainless steel, which does not pollute the environment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a seeder for bryophyte stem fragment propagation. This device aims to achieve fragmentation and uniform seeding of bryophyte stem segments through a combination of automated and manual operations, improving the efficiency and accuracy of bryophyte stem fragment propagation. The following describes the detailed structure and operation of the combined seeder.

[0026] First, regarding the overall structure of the combined seeder, it mainly consists of a crusher base 1, a seeding tank 2, a seeding tank shell 3, a fixed handle cover 4, a rotating handle cover 5, a fixed handle 6, and a rotating handle 7. The coordination and cooperation between these components realize the functions of crushing and sowing moss plant stem segments.

[0027] The crusher base 1 is one of the core components of the seeder. Its inner diameter is designed to be 10 cm, matching the inner diameter of the seeding pot 2, ensuring that the seeding pot 2 can be firmly mounted on the crusher base 1. The crusher base 1 is equipped with a corresponding crushing mechanism (although not described in detail in this embodiment, it can be designed and configured according to the crushing requirements of the moss stem segment) for automatically crushing the moss plant stem segment.

[0028] The seeding tank 2 also adopts a hollow cylindrical design, with an inner diameter of 10 cm, a wall thickness of 2 mm, and a length of 30 cm. It is made of stainless steel, which has excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Threads are provided at both ends of the tank body, allowing for threaded connection to the crusher base 1 and connection to the fixed handle cover 4 and the rotating handle cover 5. Furthermore, the seeding tank 2 is evenly distributed with small circular holes with a diameter of 6 mm. These holes serve as sowing holes for evenly spreading the crushed moss stems on the substrate.

[0029] The seeding tank shell 3 is also an important component of the seed drill. It is designed as a hollow cylinder with an inner diameter of 10.5 mm and one end closed. The wall thickness is also 2 mm, and the length is consistent with the seeding tank 2, which is 30 cm. The seeding tank shell 3 can be installed on the outside of the seeding tank 2 to prevent broken stems from flying out of the seeding tank when broken. The fixed handle cover 4 and the rotating handle cover 5 are respectively arranged at the top and bottom of the seeding tank 2 and are connected to the seeding tank 2 through a threaded structure. The fixed handle cover 4 is provided with a smooth mounting hole 9 for installing the fixed handle 6; the rotating handle cover 5 is provided with a threaded mounting hole 10 for installing the rotating handle 7. The fixed handle 6 and the rotating handle 7 are both made of 8 mm diameter stainless steel bars bent together, which have high strength and durability. At the other end of the fixed handle 6 and the rotating handle 7, foam 8 is provided as a buffer to increase the comfort of use and prevent hand injuries.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2-3 To use the seeder, first prepare the crusher base 1, seeding pot 2, and seeding pot housing 3. Then, thread the seeding pot 2 onto the crusher base 1, ensuring a secure connection. Next, place an appropriate amount of air-dried moss plants into the seeding pot 2 and install the seeding pot housing 3. At this point, the crushing mechanism inside the crusher base 1 can be activated to automatically crush the moss plant stems.

[0031] During the crushing process, the crushing can be paused and the seeding tank 2 can be removed from the crusher base 1 to observe the crushing of the moss stem segments to determine the degree of crushing. When the moss stem segments are crushed to the desired length, the crusher base 1 can be powered off to stop the crushing process. The seeding tank 2 can then be removed from the crusher base 1. At this point, the seeding tank 2 is filled with crushed moss stems.

[0032] Next, the seeding tank 2 needs to be installed between the fixed handle cover 4 and the rotating handle cover 5. Specifically, the fixed handle cover 4 is first screwed onto the top of the seeding tank 2, and then the rotating handle cover 5 is screwed onto the bottom of the seeding tank 2. During this process, it is necessary to ensure that the fixed handle 6 and the rotating handle 7 are firmly attached to the fixed handle cover 4 and the rotating handle cover 5, respectively, and that the rotation of the handles can drive the seeding tank 2 to rotate.

[0033] After installing the seeding pot 2, you can start sowing the moss plants. To do this, place the seeding pot 2 on a pre-prepared substrate and rotate the pot 2 by turning the handle 7. During the rotation, the broken moss stems are evenly spread across the substrate through the seeding holes in the seeding pot 2. This ensures that the moss stems remain evenly distributed during the sowing process, preventing accumulation or omission.

[0034] During the sowing process, the density and uniformity of sowing can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed and angle of the sowing tank 2. For example, to increase the sowing density, the rotation speed of the sowing tank 2 can be appropriately increased; to improve the sowing uniformity, the rotation angle and height of the sowing tank 2 can be appropriately adjusted. These operations can be achieved by manually controlling the handles 6 and 7, making the sowing process more flexible and controllable.

[0035] In addition, the combined seeder also has the following advantages and effects:

[0036] Combination of automation and manual operation: The automatic crushing function of the crusher base 1 can quickly crush the moss plant stems. At the same time, the manual rotation handle 7 and fixed handle 6 can achieve uniform sowing of the moss stems. This combination of automation and manual operation not only improves sowing efficiency, but also ensures accurate and uniform sowing.

[0037] Simple structure and easy operation: The structure of this combined seeder is relatively simple, and the connection and coordination between the various components are also very convenient. During use, the moss plants can be crushed and sown with a simple rotation and installation operation. In addition, each component can be disassembled and cleaned independently, facilitating subsequent maintenance and care.

[0038] Wide Range of Applications: This combined seeder is suitable for propagating a variety of bryophytes from stem fragments. Since bryophyte stem segments vary in thickness and hardness, the crushing force of the crusher base 1 and the size of the seeding hole in the seeding pot 2 can be adjusted to meet the sowing needs of different bryophytes. Furthermore, the seeder can be used in conjunction with other plant propagation equipment to achieve simultaneous sowing and propagation of multiple plants.

[0039] Environmental protection and energy saving: The combined seeder is made of environmentally friendly materials such as stainless steel and will not pollute the environment. At the same time, during the crushing and sowing process, the seeder does not need to consume a lot of energy and resources, and has a high energy-saving effect.

[0040] The following is a detailed description of a specific embodiment of the combined seeder:

[0041] This embodiment provides a combined seeder for propagating moss plants from broken stems, comprising a crusher base 1, a seeding pot 2, a seeding pot housing 3, a fixed handle cover 4, a rotating handle cover 5, a fixed handle 6, and a rotating handle 7. The crusher base 1 has an inner diameter of 10 cm, matching the inner diameter of the seeding pot 2; the seeding pot 2 is a hollow cylindrical design with an inner diameter of 10 cm, a wall thickness of 2 mm, and a length of 30 cm; the seeding pot housing 3 is also a hollow cylindrical design with an inner diameter of 10.5 mm, a wall thickness of 2 mm, and a length of 30 cm; the fixed handle cover 4 and the rotating handle cover 5 are respectively provided with a smooth mounting hole 9 and a threaded mounting hole 10 for mounting the fixed handle 6 and the rotating handle 7; both the fixed handle 6 and the rotating handle 7 are made of bent stainless steel bars with a diameter of 8 mm, and foam 8 is provided at the other end for cushioning.

[0042] During use, first put an appropriate amount of air-dried moss plants into the sowing pot 2, and connect the sowing pot 2 to the crusher base 1 through threads. Then start the crushing mechanism inside the crusher base 1 to automatically crush the moss plant stem segments. When the moss stem segments are crushed to the expected length, turn off the power of the crusher base 1, and remove the sowing pot 2 from the crusher base 1. Next, install the sowing pot 2 between the fixed handle cover 4 and the rotating handle cover 5, and ensure that the fixed handle 6 and the rotating handle 7 are firmly installed on the fixed handle cover 4 and the rotating handle cover 5 respectively. Then, place the sowing pot 2 on the pre-prepared substrate, and rotate the sowing pot 2 by rotating the handle 7 for sowing. During the sowing process, the density and uniformity of sowing can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed and angle of the sowing pot 2.

[0043] Furthermore, based on this embodiment, the combined seeder can be further improved and optimized. For example, more sowing holes can be provided on the sowing pot 2 to increase the uniformity and density of sowing. An adjustment device can also be provided on the crusher base 1 to adjust the crushing force and speed of the crushing mechanism. Locking devices can also be provided on the fixed handle cover 4 and the rotating handle cover 5 to ensure that the sowing pot 2 does not fall off or loosen during rotation. These improvements and optimization measures can further enhance the performance and practicality of the combined seeder, making it more adaptable to the sowing needs of different moss plants.

[0044] It's important to note that in actual seeding, appropriate seeding parameters and methods should be selected based on factors such as the moss species, its growth habits, and the sowing environment. For example, for fast-growing mosses with thicker stems, the crushing force and sowing density can be increased; for slower-growing mosses with thinner stems, the crushing force and sowing density should be reduced. Furthermore, during seeding, care should be taken to maintain the moisture and air permeability of the substrate to provide a favorable growth environment for the moss.

[0045] The combined seeder provided in this embodiment can achieve rapid crushing and uniform sowing of moss plant stem segments, and has the advantages and effects of simple structure, easy operation, wide application range, environmental protection and energy saving. In addition, the seeder can also be used in conjunction with other plant propagation equipment to achieve simultaneous sowing and propagation of multiple plants.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
