Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural planting technology, and in particular to a mulching device for strawberry planting. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of strawberry cultivation, mulching technology has become one of the important means to improve yield and quality. Mulching can not only significantly increase soil temperature and promote early spring growth, but also maintain soil moisture, suppress weed growth, and reduce the occurrence of diseases, thus providing a more suitable growing environment for strawberries.

[0003] Most existing mulching equipment involves covering the soil ridges with plastic film and then pulling it manually or using simple equipment to apply the film. This process requires replacing parts or even the entire piece of equipment depending on the width of the soil ridges, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] This demonstrates that most existing mulching machines only have basic mulching functions and lack auxiliary facilities such as digging ditches and compaction, resulting in poor mulching effects. Furthermore, the width of the mulching machine is fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted to adapt to soil ridges of different widths. There is also no quick loading and unloading mechanism, leading to low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing mulching equipment, such as limited functionality, poor adaptability to soil ridge width, and low efficiency in loading and unloading mulch film, the technical problem to be solved is to provide a mulching device for strawberry cultivation.

The threaded rods are used to place the mulch film rolls. A separator rod is connected between the lower parts of the two limiting plates. The separator rod is erected above the threaded rod and is used to store the mulch film rolls and prevent them from rolling off.

[0007] Optionally, it also includes fixing bolts, with fixing bolts threadedly connected to the top of both the left and right sides of the bracket, and several threaded through holes that mate with the fixing bolts on the top of both the left and right sides of the front and rear brackets.

[0008] Optionally, it also includes a mud plate and a third telescopic link. The third telescopic link is connected between the brackets, and the mud plate is connected to both the front and rear of the third telescopic link. The two mud plates are staggered one in front of the other, and the bottom of the mud plate is designed like a rake.

[0009] Optionally, the bracket, the first telescopic link, the second telescopic link, the baffle, and the third telescopic link are all telescopic components that can be slidably adjusted back and forth, and the front side of each telescopic component is slidably connected to the rear side.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] A mulching device for strawberry cultivation, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the device includes a bracket 1, a traction buckle 2, a trencher 3, a first telescopic link 31, a wheel 4, a compaction roller 5, a second telescopic link 51, a soil covering device 6, a plastic film roll 7, a threaded rod 8, a separation rod 9, a limiting plate 10, a baffle 11, a mud-straightening plate 12, a third telescopic link 121, and a fixing bolt 13. The bracket 1 is divided into front and rear sides. The components directly connected to the bracket 1 are symmetrically arranged front and rear. The left end of the bracket 1 on both the front and rear sides is connected to a traction buckle 2. The traction buckle 2 has a through hole in the middle for inserting a traction rope, and the through holes between the two traction buckles 2 are arranged to fit together. The left side of the bracket 1 is connected to the first telescopic link 31. The bottom of the telescopic connecting rod 31 is connected to the front and rear sides of the trench opener 3, with the trenching part of the trench opener 3 facing to the left. Two wheels 4 are rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of the support 1. The wheels 4 are hollow and have hollow protrusions for easy movement in the soil. The right side of the support 1 is connected to the second telescopic connecting rod 51. The bottom of the second telescopic connecting rod 51 is connected to the front and rear sides of the compaction roller 5. The compaction roller 5 is made of rubber with slight grooves. The front and rear ends of the bottom right side of the support 1 are connected to the soil covering device 6. The soil covering direction of the two soil covering devices 6 is facing the inside of the support 1, and the soil covering devices 6 are positioned relative to the compaction roller 5. The soil covering device 6 is positioned slightly outward from the support frame 1 to ensure that the soil covering position completely covers the edge of the mulch film. Two baffles 11 are connected between the supports 1. Limiting plates 10 are connected to the front and rear sides of the inner side of the support 1 between the baffles 11. Threaded rods 8 are threaded to the bottom of both limiting plates 10. The threaded rods 8 on the front and rear sides are fitted together. The threaded rods 8 are used to place the mulch film roll 7. An isolation rod 9 is connected between the lower parts of the two limiting plates 10. The isolation rod 9 is erected above the threaded rods 8 and is used to store the mulch film roll 7 and prevent it from rolling off. A third telescopic link 121 is also connected between the supports 1. The third telescopic link 121 is connected to the front and rear sides of the support frame 1. The mud plate 12 consists of two solid mud plates 12, one in front of the other and one behind, staggered. The solid mud plate 12 closer to the front of the support 1 is located on the right side of the third telescopic link 121, and the solid mud plate 12 closer to the rear of the support 1 is located on the left side of the third telescopic link 121. The bottom of the solid mud plate 12 has a rake-like design. The support 1, the first telescopic link 31, the second telescopic link 51, the baffle 11, and the third telescopic link 121 are all telescopic components that can slide and adjust back and forth. The front side of each telescopic component is slidably connected to the rear side. The top of both the left and right sides of the support 1 is threaded with fixing bolts 13. The top of both the left and right sides of the front and rear supports 1 are provided with several threaded through holes 14 that cooperate with the fixing bolts 13.

[0023] When farmers have prepared the strawberry seed planting area and are ready to perform mulching, they first adjust the overall working width of the device by sliding the telescopic components back and forth, based on the width of the raised ridges in the strawberry planting area. They then select a mulch film roll 7 that corresponds to the overall width of the device, ensuring that the width of the mulch film roll 7 is within the working range of the furrow opener 3, compaction roller 5, and covering device 6. After adjusting the width, the farmer places the device at the beginning of the ridge to be mulched, and positions the two furrow openers 3 connected to the bottom of the first telescopic connecting rod 31 at the bottom of the left and right sides of the ridge. The threaded rod 8 is then unscrewed, and the mulch film roll 7 is fitted over the outside of the threaded rod 8, with the initial part of the mulch film roll 7 pre-attached to the soil surface. At the starting position of the soil mound, the towing buckle 2 is connected to the tractor via the towing rope. The utility model will move forward to the left in a straight line following the tractor's traction. During the forward movement, the tractor acts as the power source, driving the wheels 4 to move to the left along both sides of the soil mound. At this time, the trench opener 3 will also come into contact with the soil and dig two trenches for inserting the front and rear edges of the mulch film during the forward movement. The mulch film roll 7 will also be pulled open and covered by the soil mound as the utility model moves forward on the threaded rod 8. At the same time, the compaction roller 5 set on the right side of the mulch film roll 7 will also compact the front and rear edges of the mulch film roll 7. Finally, the soil covering device 6 set on the far right will turn the soil over and cover the front and rear edges of the mulch film to press the mulch film to prevent it from being blown away and shaking, while also preventing air from entering.

[0024] The plastic film roll 7 is then continuously pulled until the entire soil ridge is covered with film. At this point, the covered portion of the plastic film roll 7 can be cut off, thus completing the film covering process for that soil ridge. The same method can then be used to cover other strawberry planting soil ridges. When one plastic film roll 7 is used up, it can be stored in advance at the top of the isolation rod 9. The stored plastic film roll 7 between the isolation rod 9 and the baffle 11 is then removed, and the threaded rod 8 threaded onto the limiting plate 10 is unscrewed. The central axis of the plastic film roll 7 is then aligned with the screw-in portion of the threaded rod 8, and the threaded rod 8 is screwed in again to complete the quick replacement of the plastic film roll 7.

[0025] During the mulching process, the mud-slab 12 helps to remove weed roots and seeds that have not been cleaned on the soil ridges. During the pulling process, the two mud-slabs 12 connected to the third telescopic link 121 can be inserted into the soil and turned over, effectively disrupting the position of weed roots and facilitating strawberry planting after mulching. The overall telescopic design of this invention allows all telescopic components to be adjusted in position simultaneously. When it is necessary to fix the telescopic components to no longer extend or retract, the fixing bolts 13 located at the front and rear of the top of the bracket 1 can easily fix the telescopic components. Depending on the width required, the fixing bolts 13 can be inserted into different threaded through holes 14, making adjustment convenient and quick.
