Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a novel sweet potato cutting device, belonging to the technical field of agricultural planting equipment. Background Art

[0002] Sweet potatoes are mainly planted by cuttings, and in different planting environments, there are different cutting methods for sweet potatoes. There are three main methods for planting sweet potatoes: horizontal cuttings, oblique cuttings, and direct planting. Among them, the horizontal cuttings method has a high yield, but is not drought-resistant; the direct planting method produces relatively large sweet potatoes, but the number of sweet potatoes is small and the yield is not high. Compared with the first two methods, the oblique cutting method has a high yield, fast seedling growth, good drought resistance, and a high rate of large potatoes, so it is widely used. Most areas use the oblique cutting method to plant sweet potatoes.

[0003] The specific steps of the oblique insertion method are as follows:

[0004] (1) Select sweet potato seedlings: Choose sweet potato seedlings with thick stems and leaves and darker color, as such seedlings are more likely to survive;

[0005] (2) Cutting the sweet potato seedlings: Cut the sweet potato seedlings into small sections with five leaves per section, remove the bottom leaves and keep only the top leaves;

[0006] (3) Cutting: Dig a trench, insert the sweet potato seedlings diagonally into the trench, keeping a 45-degree angle, and then cover with soil.

[0007] Currently, the oblique cutting method is primarily performed manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Simple tools exist to assist with cuttings, but these tools require planters to bend over for extended periods, resulting in poor operator comfort and limited practicality. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the first embodiment of the utility model provides a new sweet potato cutting device, including a joystick 1 with adjustable length, a cutting plate 2 is provided at the bottom end of the joystick 1, a fork-shaped cutting plug 3 is provided at the top end of the cutting plate 2, and the middle part of the fork-shaped cutting plug 3 is a V-shaped groove 301 adapted to the sweet potato seedlings.

[0028] The joystick 1 is composed of a telescopic rod assembly consisting of multiple segments that are interconnected, with telescopic marbles or adjustment nuts limiting the position of the telescopic rods. The length of the joystick 1 is adjustable, making it suitable for use by people of different heights, and having a wider range of applications. Preferably, the telescopic rod assembly includes an inclined rod section 101, with a handle 102 at the top and a telescopic straight rod section 103 at the bottom. The provision of the inclined rod section 101 further facilitates the oblique planting method for sweet potatoes. The inclined rod section 101 is tilted 15-45 degrees relative to the telescopic straight rod section 103.

[0029] The V-shaped groove 301 of the fork-shaped plug is embedded with a rubber pad 4, which can reduce damage to the sweet potato seedlings during the cutting process and improve the cutting survival rate of the sweet potato seedlings. The rubber pad 4 can be fixed in the V-shaped groove 301 by bonding, bolting, buckling, etc.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, based on the first embodiment, the second embodiment of the present invention provides a new sweet potato cutting device, and a multifunctional frame with adjustable angle is provided on the lower side of the joystick 1.

The adjusting rod structure 8 includes a connecting sleeve 801 that is sleeved on the joystick 1, and the rectangular frame is connected to the joystick 1 through a connecting rod 802 that is sleeved in the connecting sleeve 801. A conical sleeve 803 and an adjusting nut 804 screwed thereto are provided on one side or both sides of the connecting sleeve 801. During adjustment, the adjusting nut is loosened to rotate the connecting rod 802, adjust the angle of the rectangular frame structure, and rotate the rectangular frame structure relative to the joystick 1, so as to facilitate adjustment of the angle of the pedal structure 5, so that when the cutting board 2 is tilted and inserted into the soil, the operation is more comfortable.

[0032] The storage box 7 can be placed on the rectangular frame structure and secured with straps. Alternatively, a fixing crossbar 9 is provided on the upper side of the joystick 1, with a fixing clamp 10 attached to the fixing crossbar 9. The bottom of the storage box 7 can be placed on the rectangular frame structure, and the top can be clamped with the fixing clamp 10. This structure makes it easier to assemble and disassemble the storage box 7.
