[0002] In arid and semi-arid regions of my country, especially in the Three-North region, there are numerous afforestation projects. However, most of these areas are sparsely populated and frequented by wild animals. Moreover, they have long hours of sunshine and high evaporation rates. In addition to taking water-saving and drought-resistant measures, it is also necessary to protect newly planted seedlings from being eaten by wild animals or even by grazing animals.

[0036] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a protective sleeve for plant root and stem segments, which is one embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present utility model, a protective sleeve for plant root and stem segments is provided, including a protective component and a support component, wherein the protective component and the support component can be installed and disassembled respectively;

[0038] The protective components are used to protect the plant roots and stems, while the support components are used to support the protective components on the ground.

[0039] Regarding protective components, including:

[0040] The first main body 1 is set as a rectangular plate that can be bent;

[0041] The card slot 3 is provided on both sides of the first main body 1 and is symmetrical along the center of the first main body 1;

[0042] In use, the operator bends the first main body 1 into a cylindrical shape and engages the locking grooves 3 at both ends of the first main body 1, that is, the first main body 1 is formed into a cylindrical shape;

[0043] The connecting pin 301 and the fixing hole 302 are respectively installed in the two snap-fit ​​grooves 3 included in the first main body 1;

[0044] Specifically, the connecting pin 301 is adapted to the fixing hole 302;

[0045] The bending groove 4 is embedded in the inner wall of the first main body 1, which is surrounded by a cylindrical shape;

[0046] Specifically, the bending grooves 4 are evenly distributed on the first body 1, making it convenient for operators to bend the first body 1;

[0047] More specifically, the connecting pin 301 can be snapped and fixed after passing through the fixing hole 302, thereby fixing both ends of the first body 1. This is based on existing technology, and the specific structure will not be described in detail.

[0048] Regarding the supporting components, they include:

[0049] The second main body 2 is set as a rectangular plate that can be bent;

[0050] Support plate 201 is vertically fixed to the edge of the second main body 2;

[0051] The snap-fit ​​groove 3 is provided on both sides of the second main body 2 and is symmetrical along the center of the second main body 2;

[0052] The connecting pin 301 and the fixing hole 302 are respectively installed in the two snap-fit ​​slots 3 included in the second body 2;

[0053] The bending groove 4 is embedded in the inner wall of the first main body 1, which is surrounded by a cylindrical shape;

[0054] A break groove 401 is embedded in the support plate 201;

[0055] Specifically, the fracture grooves 401 are located on the support plate 201 and are evenly distributed in a linear array;

[0056] When in use, the fixing method is the same as that of the above-mentioned protective components. The difference is that since the support plate 201 is vertically fixed to the edge of the second main body 2, the operator needs to break the support plate 201 into several pieces before bending the second main body 2 (in this process, the support plate 201 is broken into several pieces, and any support plate 201 is vertically connected to the second main body 2), so as to achieve the support and fixation of the second main body 2.

[0057] Also includes:

[0058] The limiting protrusion 5 is parallel to the edge of the first body 1 near the second body 2, and is located on the inner wall of the first body 1 when it is bent into a cylindrical shape (see [reference]). Figure 6 , Figure 4 As shown, Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 The diagrams shown are schematic representations of the processing state and do not specify the location of the limiting protrusion 5.

[0059] The limiting groove 501 is parallel to the edge of the second body 2 near the first body 1, and is located on the outer wall of the second body 2 that is bent into a cylindrical shape (see [reference]). Figures 3 to 4 As shown, Figure 5 , Figure 6The diagrams shown are schematic representations of the processing state and do not specify the position of the limiting groove 501.

[0060] The first main body 1, the second main body 2, and the support plate 201 are all made of biodegradable materials (in this embodiment, the first main body 1, the second main body 2, and the support plate 201 are all made of polyethylene).

[0061] In use, the operator cuts the first main body 1, the second main body 2, and the support plate 201 to appropriate lengths according to the short diameter of the plant rootstock. They then process the connecting pins 301, fixing holes 302, limiting protrusions 5, and limiting grooves 501, and break the support plate 201 to allow the second main body 2 to bend freely.

[0062] S1, break off the support plate 201 on the second main body 2 of appropriate length, bend the second main body 2 and fit it onto the plant root segment, so that the support plate 201 contacts the ground;

[0063] S2, the first main body 1 of appropriate length is wrapped around the outside of the plant root and stem segment and located outside the second main body 2 which is wrapped in a cylinder, so that the limiting protrusion 5 on its inner wall is engaged with the limiting groove 501 on the outer wall of the second main body 2, thus completing the installation and fixing;

[0064] S3, both the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 are made of biodegradable materials. When the plant grows, due to the setting of the bending groove 4, and in conjunction with the long-term weathering of the first main body 1 and the second main body 2, the plant itself can push open the cylinder formed by the first main body 1 and the second main body 2, thereby protecting the root and stem segments of the plant seedling.

[0065] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following characteristics:

[0066] The system features bending groove 4, breakage groove 401, connecting fittings, and fixing holes 302, allowing for on-site assembly, strong applicability, and convenient installation. Due to the design of bending groove 4 and breakage groove 401, combined with the material selection of the main body, the plant's own growth allows it to push open the main body, eliminating the need for subsequent disassembly by workers. It also includes a support plate 201, which, compared to current methods of fixing by inserting into the soil, does not damage the plant's root system and is more labor-saving during installation.

[0067] This utility model is not limited to any particular implementation method; various modifications can be made as long as the principle is not violated.
