Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural technology, specifically to a grass seed collector. Background Technology
[0002] Grasses, or Poaceae forage grasses, are a major group of forage crops. They include both wild and cultivated varieties, and can be annual, biennial, or perennial. Grasses are tolerant of cutting and grazing, and some are excellent plants for soil and water conservation, windbreak and sand fixation, and landscaping. They play an important role in grassland ecosystems. On average, grass dry matter contains approximately 10.4% crude protein, 2.9% crude fat, 47.8% nitrogen-free extract, 31.2% crude fiber, and 7.7% crude ash, making them important carbohydrate and energy feeds. Due to their wide distribution, they are dominant plants in natural grasslands and are mostly preferred by livestock. Because of the large variety of grasses, researchers need to collect grass seeds to study their germination, growth, and reproductive mechanisms more precisely, and through selection and hybridization, cultivate disease-resistant, stress-resistant, and high-yielding grass varieties. Existing collection tools can easily cause unnecessary damage to grass plants during collection. Some collection tools may pull the grass excessively during operation, causing the grass stems and leaves to break or even be uprooted. This not only destroys the grass's growing environment, but may also affect the subsequent reproduction and growth of the grass. Utility Model Content

[0044] As shown, Figure 4 In the embodiment, in order to avoid the cutting blade 1023 from hurting people when not in use, the outer side of each of the two cutting blades 1023 is provided with a U-shaped protective cover 4, the length of the protective cover 4 is greater than or equal to the length of the cutting blade 1023, the open end of the protective cover 4 is clamped on both sides of the corresponding tool seat 1022, the cutting blade 1023 is covered by the protective cover 4, which effectively avoids the situation that the cutting blade 1023 hurts people when not in use.
[0045] As shown, Figure 2 , Figure 6 In the embodiment, as preferred, the detachable structure 5 comprises a clamping ring 501, the inner diameter of the clamping ring 501 is equal to the outer diameter of the fixing ring 201, the clamping ring 501 is sleeved on the lower end of the fixing ring 201 to form an outer edge structure;
[0046] The upper end of the collecting bag 208 is provided with a closing pull rope 502, the two ends of the closing pull rope 502 are connected together through a rope spring buckle 503;
[0047] The end of the first connecting rod 202 close to the fixing ring 201 is provided with a right-angle notch 504 below, the upper end of the collecting bag 208 is sleeved on the fixing ring 201 and located in the right-angle notch 504, when fixing the collecting bag 208, only need to sleeve the upper end of the collecting bag 208 on the fixing ring 201, so that the closing pull rope 502 is located above the clamping ring 501, then the closing pull rope 502 is tightened through the rope spring buckle 503, the upper end of the tightened collecting bag 208 is smaller than the outer diameter of the clamping ring 501, due to the existence of the clamping ring 501, the collecting bag 208 can be avoided from being separated from the fixing ring 201.
[0048] In the embodiment, preferably, the inner side of the collecting bag 208 is provided with an inner lining layer made of smooth material, preferably polyethylene or polytetrafluoroethylene. The inner lining layer made of smooth material can effectively prevent the seeds from sticking to the inner side wall of the collecting bag 208, and facilitate subsequent pouring of the seeds.
[0049] In the embodiment, preferably, the rotating structure 203 is an adjustable damping hinge, the two ends of the adjustable damping hinge are respectively fixed on the first connecting rod 202 and the second connecting rod 204 by screws. By adjusting the damping, the connecting part of the first connecting rod 202 and the second connecting rod 204 can be in interference fit, and a larger external force is required to rotate the first connecting rod 202 and the second connecting rod 204 relative to each other. Without external force, the first connecting rod 202 and the second connecting rod 204 will not rotate. At the same time, it is avoided that the collecting bag 208 collects a certain amount of seeds to make the first connecting rod 202 and the second connecting rod 204 rotate relative to each other.
[0050] In the embodiment, preferably, the finger sleeve 103 is made of rubber. The rubber finger sleeve 103 has excellent tear resistance, puncture resistance and friction resistance, and also has a comfortable wearing experience.
