Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of *Deer Antler Grass* cultivation technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for transplanting tissue culture seedlings of *Deer Antler Grass*. Background Technology

[0002] *Deer Antler Grass*, belonging to the genus *Deer Antler Grass* in the family Scrophulariaceae, is a perennial, semi-parasitic, small herbaceous plant mainly distributed in southeastern my country, including Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Fujian provinces. *Deer Antler Grass* grows to approximately 15-23 cm tall, densely covered with cottony hairs, giving it a grayish-white appearance. Its leaves are oppositely arranged, ranging from oblong-lanceolate to linear-lanceolate. Flowering occurs from March to April, with pale purple or nearly white corollas. This herb possesses various medicinal values, primarily used for clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain. It is commonly used to treat colds, coughs, pneumonia, toothaches, and other ailments. The entire plant of *Deer Antler Grass* can be used medicinally. Its abundant polysaccharides can also enhance immunity, combat fatigue, and delay aging, greatly benefiting health.

[0003] Existing technology discloses a tissue culture seedling transplanting tool. This utility model relates to the field of tissue culture seedlings and includes a seedling holding spoon. The seedling holding spoon is composed of two semi-circular parts that can be combined into a whole to hold the tissue culture seedling. A connecting rod is fixedly attached to the upper end of each of the two seedling holding spoons, and a limiting mechanism is fixedly attached to the outer wall of the connecting rod. This utility model, by setting up a tissue culture seedling transplanting tool, can replace traditional tweezers, thereby better protecting the roots of the tissue culture seedlings and preventing root damage during transplanting, which would affect the survival rate of the tissue culture seedlings. The seedling holding spoon, which can be combined and opened, and controlled by an elastic handle, can better reduce the operator's hand fatigue. At the same time, the angle of the elastic handle can be adjusted according to the operator's habits to accommodate different people.

[0004] The device described above can only hold the roots of tissue culture seedlings. For other planting processes, such as transplanting the seedlings into substrate cups, staff still need to dig trenches in the substrate soil beforehand.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an auxiliary device for transplanting tissue culture seedlings of *Deer Antler Grass* to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In response to the above situation and to overcome the defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides an auxiliary device for transplanting tissue culture seedlings of *Deer Antler Grass*, which can assist workers in directly transplanting tissue culture seedlings into substrate cups.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A transplanting aid for tissue culture seedlings of *Deer Antler Grass* includes: a hand-held part and a working head installed on the hand-held part. The working head has two symmetrically arranged pieces. One end of the working head is a seedling-taking head and the other end is a planting head. The lower end of the seedling-taking head is provided with a steel wire for taking out the tissue seedlings in the culture bottle. The planting head includes a conical shell for spreading the substrate soil and planting the tissue seedlings.

[0009] Preferably, the hand-held part includes a clamp-like frame composed of two hinged rods, one end of which is a handle for gripping, and the other end is fixedly mounted on the working head.

[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the steel wire is provided with a hook.

[0011] Preferably, the upper end of the steel wire is provided with a frustum shell, the end of the frustum shell on which the steel wire is installed has a larger opening, the smaller opening is connected to a cylindrical shell, and the conical shell is installed on the upper end of the cylindrical shell.

[0012] Preferably, the handle is circular and has a soft rubber sleeve around its perimeter.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) This utility model allows workers to safely remove tissue seedlings from culture bottles by setting a working head with two functions. It can also assist workers in transplanting tissue seedlings. The working head protects the tissue seedlings and reduces damage to them.

[0015] (2) After the steel wire of this utility model enters the culture medium, the hook is inserted into the horizontal direction of the culture medium, and the lower end of the culture medium is supported by the hook. During the process of removing the culture medium, the paste-like culture medium is not easy to loosen and crack.

[0016] (3) When the tissue culture seedlings are taken out of the culture bottle, the present invention forms a large space in the frustum shell to accommodate the tissue culture seedlings and prevent them from being damaged. On the other hand, during the transplanting of the tissue seedlings into the substrate cup, the large opening of the frustum shell makes it convenient for the tissue seedlings to be placed into the conical shell.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments.

[0022] *Pyrrosia serratifolia* has high medicinal value, but wild *Pyrrosia serratifolia* has very demanding requirements for its growing environment, and its yield cannot meet people's production needs. Therefore, artificially cultivated *Pyrrosia serratifolia* has appeared on the market. This cultivation method uses the tissue culture method of general plants, that is, firstly, the stems and leaves of *Pyrrosia serratifolia* are taken and cultured in a dust-free and sterile environment. After rooting, the cultured seedlings are transferred to substrate cups for further growth to develop a strong root system and improve the survival rate of subsequent planting. Currently, the above-mentioned tissue culture is generally carried out manually. Workers manually transfer the *Pyrrosia serratifolia* tissue culture seedlings and culture medium from the culture bottle. The tissue culture seedlings of *Deer Antler Grass* (hereinafter referred to as tissue culture seedlings) are removed together. For ease of description, the culture medium is then washed, and a trench is dug in the substrate soil of the substrate cup using chopsticks or other tools. Finally, the tissue culture seedlings are transplanted into the trench. The inventors found that when different workers remove the tissue culture seedlings from the culture bottle, due to different forces and the fact that the tissue culture seedlings are relatively delicate, some of the seedlings break or are damaged in the process. The same problem exists when transplanting them into the substrate soil. If there is a device that can assist workers in removing the tissue culture seedlings from the culture bottle and also assist workers in transplanting the tissue culture seedlings, the damage rate of the tissue culture seedlings during the operation can be improved.

[0023] First embodiment:

[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides an auxiliary device for transplanting tissue culture seedlings of *Deer Antler Grass*, including: a handheld part 10 and a working head 20 installed on the handheld part 10. The working head 20 is used to remove the tissue culture seedlings from the culture bottle and assist the worker in planting the tissue culture seedlings, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the working head 20 consists of two symmetrically arranged shells. Each shell is composed of two parts with different functions. The lower part is the seedling removal head 21, used to remove tissue culture seedlings from the culture bottle. The upper part of the seedling removal head 21 is a frustum-shaped semi-frustum shell 213. A vertically arranged steel wire strip 211 is welded to the lower end of the frustum shell 213. The steel wire strip 211 is composed of several vertical thin steel wires and is arranged in a circle along the lower end of the frustum shell 213. The upper part of the working head 20 is the planting head 22, as shown... Figure 1As shown, the implant head 22 includes a cylindrical half-cylindrical shell 221, and the two half-cylindrical shells 221 form a complete cylinder. A conical shell 222 is welded to the upper end of the cylindrical shell 221. The device is mounted on... Figure 1 Flip 180° to Figure 3 This state refers to the working state of transplanting tissue culture seedlings into substrate cups. The pointed end of the conical shell 222 pierces into the substrate soil with its tip pointing downwards. On the other hand, it serves as a handle 10 to control the opening and closing of the two working heads 20 on the left and right sides. Figure 1 As shown, the handheld part 10 includes a clamp-like frame composed of two hinged rods 12. One end of the clamp is a handle 11 for gripping, and the other end is a semi-circular connecting rod 13. The connecting rod 13 is welded to the outer wall of the cylindrical shell 221. In use, it functions like scissors. The operator holds the handle 11 with one hand and controls the opening and closing angle of the hinged frame with their fingers, thereby controlling the distance between the left and right working heads 20. Figure 2 As shown, the working head 20 is first inserted into the culture flask from top to bottom through the top opening until the steel wire 211 at the lower end of the working head 20 pierces the culture medium and contacts the bottom of the flask. The left and right working heads 20 are then closed, with the steel wire 211 at the lower end of the working head 20 clamping the culture medium. Finally, the handle 11 is slowly lifted vertically upwards, and the steel wire 211 removes the paste-like culture medium and the tissue culture seedlings on it from the culture flask. Figure 3 To prepare the tissue culture seedlings after they have been removed from the culture bottle and cleaned, and then transplanted into the substrate cup, first close the two working heads 20 on the left and right sides, and insert the tip of the conical shell 222 downwards into the substrate soil in the substrate cup to a certain depth. Then, place the thin strips of *Deer Antler Grass* tissue culture seedlings from top to bottom into the conical shell 222. Finally, open the two working heads 20 outwards a short distance so that the tissue culture seedlings fall completely into the conical shell 222, with their roots in contact with the substrate soil. Finally, keep the working heads 20 open and lift them vertically upwards. The tissue culture seedlings will remain in the substrate soil and be covered by the rebounding substrate soil after being opened. For those that are not completely covered, you can use your fingers to flatten and press down the substrate soil. This completes the transplanting of the tissue culture seedlings.

[0025] By setting up a working head 20 with two functions, staff can safely remove tissue seedlings from culture bottles. It can also assist staff in transplanting tissue seedlings. The working head 20 protects against damage to the tissue seedlings.

[0026] Second embodiment:

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the lower end of the steel wire 211 is a hook 212 that bends towards the center of the lower end of the frustum shell 213. When the steel wire 211 enters the culture medium, the hook 212 is inserted into the horizontal direction of the culture medium. The lower end of the culture medium is supported by the hook 212. During the process of removing the culture medium, the paste-like culture medium is not easy to loosen and crack.

[0028] Third embodiment:

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the frustum shell 213 has a larger opening at one end where the steel wire 211 is installed. This allows for a larger space inside the frustum shell 213 to accommodate the tissue culture seedlings when they are removed from the culture bottle, preventing damage. On the other hand, the larger opening of the frustum shell 213 facilitates the placement of the tissue culture seedlings into the conical shell 222 during the transplanting of the seedlings into the substrate cup.

[0030] Fourth embodiment:

[0031] The handle 11 is circular and covered with a soft rubber sleeve. Transplanting tissue culture seedlings is a complicated task with a large number of seedlings, and the transplanting action needs to be gentle. Covering the handle 11 with a rubber sleeve can protect the hands of the staff.

[0032] Working principle: The working head 20 is inserted into the culture bottle from the top of the bottle opening from top to bottom. The two working heads 20 are closed. Finally, the handle 11 is slowly lifted vertically upward. The steel wire 211 clamps the paste-like culture medium and the tissue culture seedlings on the culture medium out of the culture bottle. In addition, when transplanting tissue culture seedlings, the tip of the conical shell 222 is inserted downward into the substrate soil in the substrate cup to a certain depth. Then, the thin strip of *Deer Antler Grass* tissue culture seedling is placed from top to bottom in the conical shell 222. Finally, while keeping the working head 20 open, it is lifted vertically upward. The tissue culture seedling stays in the substrate soil and its roots are buried by the substrate soil.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications or refinements made to the main design concept and spirit of this utility model that are not of substantial significance, but solve the same technical problem as this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
