Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant cutting technology, and in particular to a pretreatment device for cuttings. Background Technology

[0002] Cuttings are seedlings that reproduce asexually through the plant's vegetative organs. Pre-treatment of cuttings before planting can improve their rooting rate, survival rate, and growth quality. Hormone soaking can induce root primordia differentiation in cuttings, improving plant survival rate. Rigid clamps are commonly used to fix cuttings for soaking, but these rigid clamps lack buffering mechanisms, are difficult to adapt to seedlings of different diameters, and excessive pressure can easily damage the cuttings. At the same time, insufficient soaking positioning accuracy can easily lead to unstable support, causing the seedlings to slip, resulting in hormone solution contamination or uneven dosage.

[0003] To address the above problems, a pretreatment device for cuttings has been developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing rigid clamps on the market, such as lack of buffering mechanisms, difficulty in adapting to seedlings of different diameters, excessive compression leading to damage to cuttings, insufficient positioning accuracy during soaking causing unstable support and seedling slippage, and contamination or uneven dosage of hormone solution, this utility model provides a pretreatment device for cuttings.

[0005] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A pretreatment device for cuttings includes a first mounting plate with slidably connected clamping members. There are 30 clamping members, arranged in groups of 10 adjacent members. Two protrusions are connected to each of the three clamping members on the right and three on the left, and four protrusions are connected to each of the four adjacent members. Guide members are connected to the rear sides of both sides of each clamping member. Three second mounting plates are connected to the first mounting plate, each slidably connected to an adjacent guide member. Springs connect each second mounting plate to an adjacent guide member. The first mounting plate has 60 guide grooves, each slidably connected to an adjacent clamping member. Three limiting plates are also connected to the first mounting plate, limiting the movement of adjacent clamping members. Each second mounting plate has a locking block connected to its rear side, and a movable member is engaged between the locking block and an adjacent protrusion. Each movable member has a handle.

[0007] More preferably, it also includes a handle, with the handles connected to both the left and right sides of the first mounting plate.

[0008] More preferably, it also includes rubber sleeves, with the first mounting plate having 30 rubber sleeves, all of which are detachable connection structures.

[0009] More preferably, it also includes a hanging rope, and each of the movable parts is provided with a hanging rope. The lower end of each hanging rope is connected to the first mounting plate, which can prevent the movable part from being missed.

[0010] More preferably, it also includes placement components, with the placement components connected to the lower sides of both the left and right sides of the first mounting plate. Each placement component has three placement gradients, and a support plate is provided between the placement components.

[0011] More preferably, the lower part of the protrusions is a sloped structure.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0013] This invention utilizes the buffering effect of the guide groove and spring to adapt to the different pressing requirements of cuttings, avoiding damage to the cuttings due to excessive pressing. The inclined structure of the protrusion and the moving part work together to allow the pressing and releasing operations to be completed by simply turning the handle, which helps to reduce waiting time and improve soaking efficiency. At the same time, the support plate can be flexibly adjusted in height with the help of the placement part to adapt to the support requirements of cuttings of different heights, thereby ensuring the soaking effect of the cuttings.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] A pretreatment device for cuttings, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a first mounting plate 1, with handles 2 connected to both sides of the first mounting plate 1. A clamping element 3 is slidably connected to the first mounting plate 1; there are 30 clamping elements 3, arranged in groups of 10 adjacent clamping elements 3. Two protrusions 31 are connected to each of the three clamping elements 3 on the right and three on the left; four protrusions 31 are grouped together on each side. The lower part of each protrusion 31 has a sloping structure. Guide elements 4 are connected to the rear sides of both sides of the clamping elements 3. Three second mounting plates 5 are connected to the first mounting plate 1, each slidingly connected to an adjacent guide element 4. A spring 6 connects each second mounting plate 5 to an adjacent guide element 4. The first mounting plate 1 has guide grooves 7, with a total of 60 guide grooves 7. The grooves 7 are all slidably connected to the adjacent clamping parts 3. The first mounting plate 1 is also connected to 3 limiting plates 8. The limiting plates 8 can limit the adjacent clamping parts 3. The first mounting plate 1 is provided with rubber sleeves 9. There are 30 rubber sleeves 9. All rubber sleeves 9 are detachable connection structures. The rear side of the second mounting plate 5 is connected to the locking block 12. The locking block 12 and the adjacent protrusion 31 are connected to the moving part 10. The moving part 10 is provided with a handle. The moving part 10 is provided with a hanging rope 11. The lower end of the hanging rope 11 is connected to the first mounting plate 1 to avoid missing the moving part 10. The lower sides of the left and right sides of the first mounting plate 1 are connected to the placement parts 13. The placement parts 13 are provided with 3 placement gradients. The placement parts 13 are provided with a support plate 14 between them.

[0021] It should be noted that cuttings are seedlings propagated asexually through the plant's vegetative organs. Pre-treatment of cuttings before planting can improve their rooting rate, survival rate, and growth quality. Hormone soaking can induce root primordia differentiation in cuttings, increasing plant survival rate. During this operation, each cutting is first placed individually inside a rubber sleeve 9. The rubber sleeve 9 prevents direct contact between the cutting and the first mounting plate 1, which could cause damage. Then, the moving part 10 is pushed upwards using the handle to detach it from the mounting plate. The adjacent locking block 12 and the protrusion 31 are engaged. The inclined structure at the bottom of the protrusion 31 makes it easier for the moving part 10 to disengage. The hanging rope 11 limits the moving part 10 and can prevent the moving part 10 from being missed during operation. At this time, the clamping part 3 will disengage from the locking state of the moving part 10, so that the clamping part 3 slides forward in the adjacent guide groove 7, thereby making the clamping part 3 press the cutting. The spring 6 can adapt to the clamping requirements of cuttings of different sizes and prevent the cuttings from being damaged by strong force.

[0022] The operator then moves the device into the soaking solution using the handle 2. The support plate 14 prevents the cuttings from falling into the soaking solution due to the clamping part 3 not being properly clamped, thus supporting the cuttings. To flexibly adapt to the soaking and support requirements of cuttings of different sizes, the height of the support plate 14 can be adjusted according to the placement block on the placement part 13, so that the bottom of the cuttings can be kept on the support plate 14. After soaking, the moving part 10 is reset so that it is in a locking state with the adjacent locking block 12 and protrusion 31 again, thereby allowing the clamping part 3 to slide backward, leaving space for the cuttings to be removed. Then the operator removes the soaked cuttings one by one to complete the pretreatment of the cuttings.

[0023] Although this disclosure has been shown and described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. Therefore, the scope of this disclosure should not be limited to the above embodiments, but should be defined not only by the appended claims, but also by their equivalents.
