Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to sampling equipment, in particular to a crop root excavation sampling device. Background Art

[0002] Tobacco Fusarium root rot is one of the main rhizome diseases in tobacco producing areas in my country. The biological control method using biocontrol bacteria that have antagonistic effects on tobacco Fusarium is highly efficient, pollution-free, and residue-free. Since there are many varieties of tobacco Fusarium, and the types of pathogenic bacteria in tobacco growing areas in different regions vary greatly, the acquisition of pathogenic bacteria and antagonistic bacteria requires sampling and processing of tobacco plants in diseased tobacco growing areas, wherein pathogenic bacteria are obtained from the roots of diseased tobacco plants, and antagonistic bacteria are obtained from the roots of healthy tobacco plants in the diseased areas. There are no dedicated root digging tools in the existing technology, and most people still use claw hooks for manual digging, which not only easily causes root breakage but also makes it difficult to collect rhizosphere soil. At the same time, tobacco plants are large in size and have deep roots. If the number of samples is large, the labor intensity will also increase accordingly. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a crop root excavation sampling device. The utility model improves the structure of a traditional soil sampler, can effectively excavate the tobacco plant roots, and is convenient for separating the soil attached to the roots.

A motor is provided at the bottom of the handle. The output end of the motor is in transmission connection with the top of a transmission rod. The bottom of the transmission rod is coaxially connected to the top of the sampling tube. The sampling tube is also provided with a hinged assembly for clamping the roots of tobacco plants.

[0006] The sampling barrel wall is provided with a notch for accommodating the hinge assembly, and the notch is extended along the axial direction of the sampling barrel.

[0007] Preferably, the hinge assembly includes at least two sets of axially symmetrical hinge units, the hinge unit includes an active rod located above the sampling tube and a driven rod that cooperates with the corresponding notch gap, the bottom end of the active rod and the top end of the driven rod are hinged by a hinge, and the driven rod is hinged to the tube wall at the top end of the notch through a pin shaft.

[0008] Preferably, the top end of the active rod is connected to the outer wall of the sleeve through a hinge, and the sleeve is sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission rod.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the sleeve is provided with a friction pad layer that is in close contact with the transmission rod.

[0010] Preferably, the sleeve outer wall is further provided with a foot pedal.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom end of the driven rod is higher than the bottom end of the sampling cylinder.

[0012] The working process of the utility model is as follows:

Since the bottom end of the driven rod is higher than the bottom end of the sampling cylinder, the bottom end surface of the sampling cylinder presents a "sawtooth" structure, then the motor is started and the handle is pressed down, so that the sampling cylinder can quickly cut into the ground during rotation and gather the root system of the tobacco plant and the attached soil into the sampling cylinder.

[0014] Then the motor is turned off, the foot pedal is pressed down to make the sleeve drive the driving rod to move down, thereby reducing the included angle between the driving rod and the driven rod, the driven rod is turned around the pin shaft and the bottom end of the driven rod enters the inside of the sampling cylinder. The bottom end of the driven rod of the hinged unit forms a clamping structure for preventing the tobacco plant root system from sliding down, and the state is maintained through the friction between the sleeve friction pad layer and the transmission rod.

[0015] Then the utility model is lifted up to make the sampling cylinder and the root system and the soil attached to the root system in the cylinder move out of the bottom surface, the staff knocks the sampling cylinder to make the root system and the soil separate under the vibration effect, so that the soil and the root system can be collected separately.

[0016] It should be noted that the motor is powered by a mobile battery, and the control switch of the corresponding motor can be arranged on the handle.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages: the utility model is improved on the structure of the traditional soil sampler, can effectively mine the root system of the tobacco plant, and is convenient for separating the soil attached to the root system.
