Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant cultivation and maintenance technology, and in particular to a seedling root protection device. Background Technology

[0002] Transplanting seedlings is a common operation in horticulture and forestry. Successful transplanting not only ensures the survival rate of seedlings but also promotes their healthy growth. During the transplanting process, the seedlings should be dug up while preserving as large a root ball as possible. After digging them up, the root ball should be wrapped with straw rope or straw bags to prevent the roots from being exposed to the air, thus protecting the seedling roots. However, due to the limitations of the materials used in straw rope or straw bags, the seedling roots may still be damaged, and the protective effect is limited.

[0003] To address the above problems, a seedling root protection device has been developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the limitations of straw ropes or straw bags, which may still damage the roots of seedlings and have limited protective effects, this utility model provides a seedling root protection device.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a seedling root protection device, including a protective frame, two connecting ropes connected to the protective frame, each connecting rope connected to a contact block, connecting components snapped between the front and rear of the contact blocks, a first locking piece slidably connected to each connecting component, and a second locking piece slidably connected to each connecting component, baffle plates connected to the front and rear sides of the upper part of the protective frame, a baffle ring connected to the middle of the protective frame, two storage boxes slidably connected to the baffle ring, the storage boxes can be filled with nutrient solution to supplement the seedling roots, the storage boxes are all in contact with the protective frame, and four support members are connected to the lower part of the protective frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the protective frame has several water-permeable holes.

[0007] Furthermore, all the connecting components are made of flexible materials.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower part of the second card can engage with the upper part of the adjacent first card.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner side of the storage frame is an arc-shaped structure that fits the shape of the protective frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the width of each of the blocking plates is wider than the width of the storage frame, and the blocking plates can block the upper part of the adjacent storage frames.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention features a protective frame fitted over the surface of the root ball, protecting the root system from exposure to air, reducing root damage, and improving the survival rate after transplanting. The connector and contact block enclose the upper part of the root ball to prevent it from falling out of the protective frame. Water or nutrient solution can be added to the storage box, and the liquid enters the root ball through the permeable holes in the protective frame, keeping the seedling roots moist to cope with dry planting environments.

[0018] The preferred technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] A seedling root protection device, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a protective frame 1 with several water-permeable holes. Two connecting ropes 2 are connected to the protective frame 1, and each connecting rope 2 is connected to a contact block 3. Connecting components 4 are engaged between the front and rear of the contact blocks 3. The connecting components 4 are made of flexible material, and each connecting component 4 has a first locking piece 5 slidably connected to it. Each connecting component 4 also has a second locking piece 6 slidably connected to it. The lower part of the second locking piece 6 can engage with the upper part of the adjacent first locking piece 5. The upper front of the protective frame 1... The rear two sides are connected to the baffle plate 7, the middle of the protective frame 1 is connected to the baffle ring 9, and two storage boxes 8 are slidably connected to the baffle ring 9. Nutrient solution can be injected into the storage box 8 to supplement the roots of the seedling. The inner side of the storage box 8 is an arc-shaped structure that fits the shape of the protective frame 1. The storage boxes 8 are all connected to the protective frame 1 in contact. The width of the baffle plate 7 is wider than the width of the storage box 8. The baffle plate 7 can block the upper part of the adjacent storage box 8. The lower part of the protective frame 1 is connected to four support members 10.

[0020] It should be noted that seedling transplantation is a common operation in horticulture and forestry. Successful seedling transplantation not only ensures the survival rate of seedlings but also promotes their healthy growth. During the transplantation process, the seedling should be dug up while preserving as large a root ball as possible. Then, a protective frame 1 is placed over the root ball. The protective frame 1 protects the surface of the root ball, thus preventing the roots from being exposed to the air, protecting the seedling roots, reducing root damage, and improving the survival rate after transplantation. At the same time, the contact block 3 is positioned on top of the root ball. The connector is then snapped onto the contact block 3. The two connectors and the contact block 3 enclose the upper part of the root ball, preventing it from falling out of the protective frame 1. Depending on the size of the root ball and the specifications of the tree trunk, the second clip can be adjusted. Slide the first clip 5 and the first clip 6 to the appropriate position, then engage the upper part of the first clip 5 with the lower part of the adjacent second clip 6, and rotate the first clip 5 to lock the first clip 5 and the second clip 6, thereby adjusting the connecting component 4 to the appropriate enclosing length to adapt to the specifications of the seedling root ball. In a dry environment, water or nutrient solution can be added to the storage frame 8. The liquid will pass through the permeable holes on the protective frame 1 and enter the root ball, thereby keeping the seedling roots moist. During the transportation of the seedling, the storage frame 8 can be slid to the lower part of the baffle plate 7. The baffle plate 7 can block the liquid in the storage frame 8, thereby preventing liquid splashing. After the transportation is completed, the seedling is unloaded, and the support member 10 can support the root ball.

[0021] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.
