Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquatic plant cultivation technology, specifically to an aquatic plant cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of ecological environment restoration, aquatic plants are planted in shallow water areas. Currently, this is generally done manually, with the aid of drilling tools to facilitate planting. However, both manual planting and drilling tools suffer from low survival rates. The main reason for the low survival rate is the inconsistent planting depth. Low survival rates necessitate replanting in areas where no plants have survived, resulting in a waste of resources and labor, and the ecological restoration effect is not satisfactory. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the survival rate of aquatic plants. The key to improving the survival rate lies in ensuring that the planting depth meets the requirements. How to ensure that the planting depth meets the requirements is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0003] The problem to be solved is to provide a device for planting aquatic plants to ensure the planting depth and thus the survival rate of the aquatic plants.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model:

[0021] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model proposes an aquatic plant planting device, such as... Figure 1The diagram shows a schematic of the planting device, which includes a planting rod 2, a planting unit 3, and a drive unit 4. The planting rod 2 includes an inner cavity 21, which is hollow to reduce the weight of the device and does not affect the back-and-forth movement of the drive rod 41. The planting unit 3 is located at the bottom of the planting rod 2. The drive unit 4 passes through the planting rod 2 and is connected to the planting unit 3. The planting unit 3 is used to clamp the aquatic plants to be planted and place them to a preset depth. This preset depth is the required planting depth for the aquatic plants, and meeting the planting depth requirement greatly helps the survival rate. The planting unit 3 is connected to the drive unit 4, which controls the planting unit 3 to clamp the aquatic plants to be planted. When the spring 42 of the drive unit 4 resets, it controls the planting unit 3 to release the planted aquatic plants. The planting unit 3 includes a limiting plate 35, which is located at the top of the planting unit 3 and abuts against the top of the spring 42. The limiting plate 35 is fixed to the top of the planting unit 3 to limit the stroke of the spring 42 and ensures that the planting depth of the aquatic plants meets the preset depth requirement. There is an aperture at the connection between the drive rod 41 and the limiting plate 35. Due to the upward water pressure during the process of placing the aquatic plants on the bottom, water will enter the inner cavity 21 from the connection between the drive rod 41 and the limiting plate 35. When the planting device is lifted, the water entering the inner cavity 21 will flow back from the connection between the drive rod 41 and the limiting plate 35. Because the limiting plate 35 and the top of the spring 42 need to be abutted, the aperture at the connection between the drive rod 41 and the limiting plate 35 is small. The smaller aperture results in slower water flow back into the inner cavity 21, which is prone to accumulating in the inner cavity 21. To solve this problem, a through hole 351 is provided on the limiting plate 35. The through hole 351 connects the inner cavity 21 of the planting rod 2 and the inner cavity of the planting unit 3. The through hole 351 is larger than the aperture at the connection between the drive rod 41 and the limiting plate 35. In this way, when the planting device is lowered, water will enter the inner cavity 21 from the through hole 351. When the planting device is lifted, the water in the inner cavity 21 will be quickly drained from the through hole 351, preventing water from accumulating in the inner cavity 21.

[0022] The planting unit 3 includes a planting rod 31, on which a fixed clamp 32 is provided; the length of the planting rod 31 is the planting depth of the aquatic plants, and the length h of the planting rod 31 is 10-20cm. With the help of the limiting plate 35, the planting depth of the planting rod 31 into the soil matches the planting depth of the aquatic plants; the planting rod 31 is also provided with a rotating shaft 34, and the rotating clamp 33 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 34 to realize the rotational connection of the rotating clamp 33 relative to the fixed clamp 32.

[0023] The drive unit 4 also includes a drive rod 41, one end of which is connected to the planting rod 2, and the other end is fitted inside the spring 42 and connected to the rotating gripper 33. The rotating gripper 33 is provided with a connecting plate 331, which is located at the bottom end of the spring 42 and fitted outside the drive rod 41. The drive unit 4 also includes a latch 43, which is fixed to the bottom end of the drive rod 41, and the connecting plate 331 is located between the latch 43 and the spring 42. The planting rod 2 is connected to one end of the drive rod 41 through a support unit 5. The support unit 5 includes an integrally formed base 51, a connecting part 52, and a limiting part 53. The limiting part 53 is provided with a limiting hole 531 for the movement of the drive rod 41. The base 51 is fitted outside the planting rod 2 as a support component for the movement of the drive rod 41. The drive rod 41 moves back and forth through the limiting hole 531 under manual drive. The limiting hole 531 is 3cm-5cm long and can also be set at a 30° tilt angle to guide the reciprocating movement of the drive rod 41. One end of the drive rod 41 is fixedly connected to the handle 6. The end of the handle near the support unit 5 is hinged to the adapter 52 via a pin. In this way, when the handle 6 is pressed, the drive rod 41 can be easily lifted as the handle 6 rotates counterclockwise to clamp the aquatic plants. After the handle 6 is released, the spring 42 returns to its original position to release the aquatic plants.

[0024] The process includes: clamping aquatic plants, planting aquatic plants, and releasing aquatic plants.

[0025] Clamping aquatic plants: The operator grips the upper end of the handle 6, and the drive rod 41 tilts along the limiting hole 531, causing the drive rod 41 to lift up while the connecting plate 331 rotates counterclockwise, causing the rotating claw 33 to rotate around the rotating shaft 34 and close with the fixed claw 32 to clamp the aquatic plants.

[0026] Planting aquatic plants: Insert the device vertically into the bottom of the water until the planting rod 31 touches the bottom and the limiting plate 35 is in close contact with the bottom surface. At this time, the aquatic plants reach the preset depth.

[0027] Release the aquatic plants: Loosen the handle 6, the spring 42 returns to its original position, pushes the drive rod 41 back to its original position, the rotating claw 33 rotates in the opposite direction and opens, the aquatic plants are separated from the fixed claw 32 and the rotating claw 33 and fixed to the bottom of the water.

[0028] During use, the planting rod 31 is kept at a fixed length to ensure consistent planting depth each time; the spring 42 works in conjunction with the limit plate 35 to achieve automatic reset and precise control of the gripper.

[0029] The aquatic plant planting device provided by this utility model achieves standardized control of the planting depth of aquatic plants through a mechanical linkage structure and precise limiting design. Its core innovation lies in the coordination of the fixed length of the planting rod 31 with the fixed and rotating grippers 32 and 33, ensuring that the aquatic plants are planted to the preset depth each time. The reset mechanism of the spring 42 in the drive unit 4 and the guiding design of the limiting hole 531 in the support unit 5, combined with the handle 6, simplify the operation process and improve planting efficiency. This device solves the problem of low survival rate caused by uneven planting depth in traditional manual methods, and is particularly suitable for large-scale aquatic plant planting in shallow water ecological restoration projects, possessing significant practical value and promising prospects for promotion.

[0030] The above embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
