Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model patent relates to the technical field of plant cultivation, and more specifically, to a plant bud thinner. Background Technology
[0002] Bud thinning refers to removing excess flower buds to ensure sufficient nutrients. In the process of plant cultivation, multiple steps are involved, and bud thinning is an important step that can help reduce the burden on the plant and concentrate nutrient supply on the remaining flower buds.
[0003] By thinning the buds, the main buds of a plant can obtain more nutrients and resources. Proper bud thinning helps the overall health of the plant and reduces growth and development problems caused by insufficient nutrients.
[0004] In traditional agriculture, bud thinning techniques mainly rely on manual labor, including bud removal, topping, and flower and fruit thinning. Manual labor is time-consuming, inefficient, and often results in bud damage and waste due to improper operation. It cannot improve the quality of buds, nor can it meet the planting needs of precise control of bud quantity, thereby reducing the overall planting efficiency and increasing the overall planting cost. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a plant bud thinning device, which aims to solve the problem of inefficient bud thinning in the existing technology.
[0006] This invention is implemented as follows: a plant bud thinner includes two opposing movable arms, each movable arm having a bud thinning section, with a bud thinning interval between the two bud thinning sections, and a rolling roller arranged on each bud thinning section, the roller being arranged toward the bud thinning interval.
[0007] Furthermore, the bud-sparse section is provided with a plurality of rollers, which are arranged at intervals along the bud-sparse direction.
[0008] Furthermore, the movable arm is equipped with a power element that drives the roller to rotate.
[0009] Furthermore, the interior of the bud-sparse section is hollowed out to form a hollow area, and the roller is arranged in the hollow area and exposed towards the bud-sparse interval.
[0010] Furthermore, the bud-sparse section has a back wall that is away from the bud-sparse interval, and the back wall is provided with multiple hollow grooves, the hollow area being connected to the outside through the hollow grooves.
[0011] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the roller is provided with a plurality of protrusions, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the roller and extend along the axial direction of the roller.
[0012] Furthermore, the height of the convex rib gradually increases along the direction from the middle to the end of the convex rib.
[0013] Furthermore, the bud-sparse section extends into a connecting section, one end of which is connected to the bud-sparse section, and the other end of which forms a hinged end, with the hinged ends of the two connecting sections hinged together.
[0014] Furthermore, there is a swing interval between the two connecting segments, and there is an elastic structure between the swing intervals that drives the two movable arms to swing and reset.
[0015] Furthermore, the swing interval is provided with a guide structure to guide the swing of the two movable arms. The guide structure includes an insert on one connecting segment and a groove formed on another connecting segment. The insert is movably placed in the groove. During the swing of the two movable arms toward or away from each other, the insert swings relative to the groove.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the plant bud thinner provided by this utility model places the flower bud clusters to be thinned in the thinning interval during the thinning process. The two movable arms swing towards each other, so that the two thinning segments swing towards each other, the thinning interval narrows, and the flower bud clusters are relatively clamped.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-3 The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0025] A plant bud thinner includes two opposing movable arms, each having a bud thinning section 100 and a bud thinning interval 102 between the two bud thinning sections 100. A roller 200 is provided on the bud thinning section 100 and is arranged toward the bud thinning interval 102.
[0026] The plant bud thinner provided above, during the bud thinning process, places the bud clusters to be thinned in the bud thinning interval 102, and the two movable arms swing towards each other so that the two bud thinning segments 100 swing towards each other, the bud thinning interval 102 shrinks, and the bud clusters are relatively clamped. As the bud thinning segments 100 move relative to the bud clusters, the rollers 200 roll, thinning the bud clusters in the bud thinning interval 102 to remove excess buds and achieve efficient bud thinning operation.
[0027] In this embodiment, the bud thinning section 100 is provided with multiple rollers 200, which are arranged at intervals along the bud thinning direction; in this way, the bud thinning path can be increased, and more efficient bud thinning can be achieved for the flower bud clusters.
[0028] The spaced arrangement ensures that excess flower buds are precisely removed, allowing nutrients to be more concentrated on the remaining buds, thereby controlling the number of buds and improving their quality.
[0029] In this embodiment, the movable arm is equipped with a power element that drives the roller 200 to roll. In this way, during the bud thinning process, the power element synchronously drives the roller 200 to roll, and the rolling speed of the roller 200 can be controlled to meet diverse bud thinning needs and achieve more efficient bud thinning operations.
[0030] In this embodiment, the interior of the bud thinning section 100 is hollowed out to form a hollow area. The rollers 200 are arranged in the hollow area and are exposed towards the bud thinning interval 102. In this way, while thinning the buds, the density of the bud clusters can be effectively controlled, so that the buds can obtain reasonable growth space. Furthermore, by forming a hollow area, it is convenient to arrange multiple rollers 200.
[0031] In this embodiment, the bud thinning section 100 has a back wall that is away from the bud thinning interval 102. The back wall is provided with a plurality of hollow grooves 103. The hollow area is connected to the outside through the hollow grooves 103. In this way, the thinned buds can fall into the hollow area and fall to the outside through the hollow grooves 103, without remaining in the hollow area, thus avoiding blockage and affecting the bud thinning effect.
[0032] In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the roller 200 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 201, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the roller 200 and extend along the axial direction of the roller 200. The plurality of protrusions 201 on the outer periphery of the roller 200 make the outer periphery of the roller 200 concave and convex, so that the roller 200 can better thin out the flower buds during the rolling process, and thin out the buds more efficiently.
[0033] In this embodiment, the height of the convex strip 201 gradually increases from the middle to the end. In this way, the height of the convex strip 201 is arranged in an undulating manner. While achieving the bud thinning operation, it avoids excessive compression of the flower bud clusters, retains the relatively better-developed flower buds, and improves the overall quality.
[0034] In this embodiment, the bud-sparse section 100 extends to a connecting section 101, one end of the connecting section 101 is connected to the bud-sparse section 100, and the other end of the connecting section 101 forms a hinge end 300, and the hinge ends 300 of the two connecting sections 101 are hinged together.
[0035] In this way, the two bud-reducing sections 100 can swing towards each other or away from each other with the hinge end 300 as the swing center, which is convenient for bud-reducing operation; by hinged by the two hinge ends 300, the two connecting sections 101 form an integral structure, which is convenient for hand-held bud-reducing operation.
[0036] In this embodiment, there is a swing interval 305 between the two connecting segments 101, and there is an elastic structure 301 between the swing interval 305 that drives the two movable arms to swing apart and reset. In this way, when the two bud-reducing segments 100 swing towards each other, the elastic structure 301 is compressed and has an elastic force that drives the two bud-reducing segments 100 to swing apart, so as to realize the swing towards each other and automatic swing apart between the two bud-reducing segments 100, which facilitates the bud-reducing operation and improves the bud-reducing efficiency.
[0037] The elastic structure 301 can be a spring. The connecting section 101 is provided with a mounting post 302, which is located in the swing interval 305. The two ends of the spring are respectively embedded in the mounting post 302, thereby realizing the connection between the spring and the connecting section 101. Alternatively, the elastic structure 301 can also be other elastic bodies with elastic deformation, etc., and is not limited to springs.
[0038] In this embodiment, the swing interval 305 is provided with a guide structure to guide the swing of the two movable arms. The guide structure includes an insert 303 disposed on one connecting section 101 and a groove 304 formed on another connecting section 101. The insert 303 is movably placed in the groove 304. During the swing of the two movable arms toward or away from each other, the insert 303 swings relative to the groove 304.
[0039] During the bud thinning process, the two connecting sections 101 swing towards each other or away from each other in the middle, so as to realize the synchronous swinging of the two bud thinning sections 100 towards each other or away from each other. By arranging the guide structure of the insert strip 303 and the groove 304, the two connecting sections 101 can achieve the accuracy of swinging during the swinging process, so as to achieve the accuracy of swinging between the two bud thinning sections 100 and avoid the problem of swinging misalignment between the two bud thinning sections 100, which would affect the bud thinning operation.
[0040] On another connecting section 101, two positioning strips are provided, which are spaced apart and form the groove 304 mentioned above. In this way, during the bud thinning process, when the movable arms swing towards or away from each other, the insert 303 moves back and forth between the two positioning strips, which can guide and position the swing between the two movable arms.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
