Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning devices, and specifically relates to a rhizosphere soil cleaning and collecting device. Background Technique
[0002] In botanical research and agricultural practice, the collection and analysis of rhizosphere soil is an important task. Rhizosphere soil refers to the soil area directly affected by plant roots around the roots, and its composition, structure and microbial activities have important impacts on plant growth and health. Traditional methods for collecting rhizosphere soil usually involve steps such as excavation, screening and cleaning. These methods are not only time-consuming and laborious, but also easily damage the vegetation roots, affecting subsequent analysis results.
[0003] To overcome the deficiencies of traditional methods, some rhizosphere soil cleaning and collecting devices have emerged on the market. However, these devices still have some limitations in design and function. For example, some devices lack sufficient flexibility and protection mechanisms when clamping vegetation roots, and are prone to damage the roots; some other devices have poor cleaning effects and cannot completely remove soil particles on the root surface. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a device that can effectively clamp vegetation roots and efficiently clean the root soil. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a rhizosphere soil cleaning and collecting device to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A rhizosphere soil cleaning and collecting device, including a collection box, a cover plate is installed above the collection box, through holes are opened on the surface of the cover plate, moving plates are inserted on both sides of the through holes, and a clamping screw is screwed on the top surface of the cover plate for clamping the moving plates, and a stirrer is installed on the bottom plate of the collection box.
[0006] Preferably, the collection box has a square frame structure, two support frames are fixed on the bottom surface of the collection box, and a mesh cover is fixed on the top surface of the bottom plate of the collection box, and the mesh cover is sleeved above the stirring shaft of the stirrer.
[0007] Preferably, a plurality of through holes are opened on the surface of the cover plate, screws are inserted into the through holes, the bottom ends of the screws are fixed on the top surface of the collection box, the height of the screws is greater than the thickness of the cover plate, and nuts are sleeved and screwed on the top ends of the screws.
[0008] Preferably, the through opening is a "convex" - shaped groove, the moving plate is a "convex" - shaped plate, a clamping groove is opened at one end of the moving plate close to the through hole, the clamping groove is an arc groove, and an air bag is fixed on the surface of the clamping groove, and the air bag has a "Ω" - shaped structure.
[0009] Preferably, a lever is fixed to the other end of the movable plate, and an insert groove is provided on the top surface of the movable plate, with a rubber pad fixed inside the insert groove.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] This invention proposes a rhizosphere soil washing and collection device. The device, through its slots and airbag design on a moving plate, can flexibly and effectively clamp the root system of plants. The flexibility of the airbags makes the clamping process gentler, avoiding damage to the roots as in traditional methods. Simultaneously, the rubber pads further enhance the stability of the clamping and protect the roots. The introduction of a stirrer allows the device to generate a strong vortex water flow, effectively washing away soil particles from the plant roots. This washing method is not only highly efficient but also reduces the complexity of manual operation, improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

A stirrer 15 is installed on the bottom plate of the collection box 1. The collection box 1 is in a square frame structure, two support frames 2 are fixed on the bottom surface of the collection box 1, and a mesh cover 16 is fixed on the top surface of the bottom plate of the collection box 1. The mesh cover 16 is sleeved above the stirring shaft of the stirrer 15. When in use, sterilized saline is pre-injected into the collection box 1 through the through hole 7, then the two moving plates 9 are pushed and squeezed to both sides, and the roots of the vegetation are passed through the through hole 7 and extended into the collection box 1. The two moving plates 9 are pulled back to clamp the top of the vegetation roots, and the switch of the stirrer 15 is triggered. The stirrer 15 stirs the sterilized saline inside the collection box 1 to wash the soil on the vegetation roots, and the soil is washed away.
[0023] A plurality of through holes 4 are opened on the surface of the cover plate 3, a screw rod 5 is inserted inside the through holes 4, the bottom end of the screw rod 5 is fixed on the top surface of the collection box 1, the height of the screw rod 5 is greater than the thickness of the cover plate 3, and a nut 6 is sleeved and screwed on the top end of the screw rod 5. When in use, the through holes 4 are fixed on the collection box 1 through the screw rod 5 and the nut 6. When disassembling the cover plate 3, after unscrewing and removing the nut 6 from the top of the screw rod 5, the cover plate 3 can be pulled out from the collection box 1.
[0024] The through hole 8 is in a "convex" - shaped groove, the moving plate 9 is in a "convex" - shaped plate, a clamping groove 10 is opened at one end of the moving plate 9 close to the through hole 7. The clamping groove 10 is in an arc groove, an airbag 11 is fixed on the surface of the clamping groove 10, and the airbag 11 is in an "Ω" - shaped structure; a dial 12 is fixed at the other end of the moving plate 9, and an embedding groove 13 is opened on the top surface of the moving plate 9, and a rubber pad 17 is fixed inside the embedding groove 13; when in use, to ensure effective clamping of the top of the vegetation roots by the two moving plates 9, the two moving plates 9 are拨动, the clamping screw 14 is screwed downward, the clamping screw 14 clamps the moving plate 9 and brakes it, and the moving plate 9 clamps the vegetation roots through the flexible airbag 11 to avoid damage to the roots.
[0025] The process of using the rhizosphere soil cleaning and collection device is as follows:
[0026] Place the cover plate 3 above the collection tank 1, ensuring that the perforation 4 is aligned with the screw 5 on the top surface of the collection tank 1. Insert the screw 5 into the perforation 4, ensuring that the height of the screw 5 is greater than the thickness of the cover plate 3. Thread the nut 6 onto the top of the screw 5 and tighten it to the appropriate tightness to securely fix the cover plate 3 to the collection tank 1. Observe the opening 7 on the surface of the cover plate 3 to ensure that the moving plate 9 is in the open position (i.e., it moves to both sides without obstructing the opening 7). Inject an appropriate amount of sterile saline solution into the collection tank 1 through the opening 7, ensuring that the water level covers the stirring shaft of the stirrer 15 but does not exceed the mesh cover 16.
[0027] Insert the roots of the plant to be cleaned through the inlet 7, ensuring the roots are fully immersed in the sterile saline solution in the collection tank 1. Push the two movable plates 9 inwards so that the slots 10 (with air bladders 11) of the movable plates 9 fit against the top of the plant roots. Ensure that the air bladders 11 are in close contact with the rhizosphere without causing damage. Tighten the clamping screw 14 to clamp and secure the movable plates 9, preventing them from moving during agitation. Turn on the agitator 15 to start it working, creating a vortex to wash the soil around the plant roots. Observe the turbidity of the saline solution in the collection tank 1 and the cleanliness of the plant roots. Adjust the agitation speed or time of the agitator 15 as needed. When the plant roots are cleaned to a satisfactory degree, turn off the agitator 15. Tighten and remove the clamping screw 14 to release the movable plates 9. Move the two movable plates 9 to the sides to open the opening 7 so that the vegetation can be taken out. Mix the mud and water mixture inside the collection box 1 and pour it into the centrifuge tube. Centrifuge at 4000g for 30 minutes at 4℃ and then discard the supernatant.
