Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of root washing, in particular to a device suitable for washing roots in sandy soil of alpine grassland. Background Art

[0002] The plant root system is an important component of the plant's underground and is of great significance in maintaining plant growth and responding to global changes. In ecological meteorological and agricultural related experimental research, it is usually necessary to obtain the plant's underground biomass. The main method is to first use a root drill to obtain the root system containing soil, and then wash it to obtain the plant's underground biomass. However, the plant root system in high-altitude areas is dense, and the soil often contains a small amount of sand. During the root washing process, the dense root system wraps the soil, making the soil not easily soluble in water. At the same time, the root mass is mixed with sand, which is difficult to separate. These problems affect the efficiency of root washing and the accuracy of obtaining the root weight. In order to improve the efficiency of root washing and accurately obtain the weight of the plant root system, accelerating the dissolution of soil during washing, effectively separating the sand mixed in the root mass, and preventing the loss of hairy roots are the keys to this work.

[0003] Currently, root washing devices used in scientific experiments are, first, not suitable for sandy soils. The sand cannot be efficiently separated during the root washing process, affecting the accuracy of the experimental data. Secondly, because alpine grassland plants are densely populated and have many capillary roots, root washing accelerates the dissolution of the soil encasing the roots, causing the capillary roots to clump together to improve root washing efficiency. However, in practical applications, these root washing devices are not conducive to dissolving the soil encasing the dense roots and agglomerating the capillary roots. To address these technical issues, we designed a root washing device suitable for sandy soils in alpine grasslands. Utility Model Content

[0015] The rubber sleeve makes it convenient for staff to hold the machine during use, and the stirring blades are set in an arc shape to protect the root system and avoid damage to the root system.

[0016] In a preferred solution, a spring sheet is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating rod, a piston block is fixedly mounted on one side of the spring sheet, and a ball is embedded on one side of the piston block.

[0017] By setting the spring sheet and the piston block, the effect of protecting the ball is achieved, and the ball is conveniently in contact with the screen, which is convenient for shaking the screen.

The side of the semicircular plate located at the center of the cylinder is the thick side, and its thickness is 1.0 cm.

[0021] The semicircular plate is set up to separate the screen into two parts, and the height difference between the semicircular plate and the screen is used to isolate the sand deposited on the bottom on the screen, so as to facilitate the separation of roots from the sand.

[0022] As can be seen from the above, the device for washing roots in sandy soil in alpine grassland provided by the utility model has the following technical effects.

[0023] First: Through the stirring component, the roots in the cylinder can be stirred during use, and the screen can be driven to shake when in contact with the screen, avoiding clogging of the screen during use, effectively separating the roots from the sand, and improving the efficiency of root washing.

[0024] Second: By setting a semicircular plate on the screen, and the semicircular plate is designed to be wedge-shaped, the height difference between the semicircular plate and the screen is used to isolate the sand in the screen area. At the same time, the roots flow with the water to the other side of the semicircular plate and are collected by the net bag, thereby achieving the separation of sand and roots and avoiding the phenomenon of small roots entangled with sand.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Reference Figure 5 The upper surface of the screen 3 is connected to a semicircular plate 7 by a bolt thread. The semicircular plate 7 is placed on the raised side of the cylinder 1, and the semicircular plate 7 is a wedge-shaped plate.

Then the cylinder 1 is tilted to one side of the semicircular plate 7 and the cylinder 1 is slowly lifted upward. At this time, the floating roots will flow into the net bag 8, and the sand will be deposited on one side of the screen 3. Due to the height difference between the semicircular plate 7 and the screen 3, the sand can be blocked in the area of ​​the screen 3. After the cylinder 1 is lifted, the roots in the net bag 8 can be directly taken out.
