Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nut cultivation technology, and in particular to a planting device for macadamia nut cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Macadamia trees, as a tropical fruit tree with high economic value, occupy an important position in the agricultural sector. Macadamia nuts not only have a unique taste and are rich in nutrients, but also enjoy high market demand, leading to the widespread development of their cultivation. In the cultivation of macadamia trees, the planting stage is a crucial step, and its quality and efficiency have a decisive impact on the tree's growth, yield, and overall economic benefits.

[0003] Especially in the core stage of planting, existing planting equipment and methods have gradually revealed a series of obvious limitations and technical problems when handling macadamia seedlings. Specifically, although utility model patent CN115281052A discloses a seedling planting device for loquat planting, which includes a rotating digging mechanism, a clamping planting mechanism, a water tank, and a fertilizer delivery box, etc., the digging depth of the planting hole can be freely controlled by a first hydraulic cylinder in conjunction with a moving frame. The water tank and fertilizer delivery box can be set up to conveniently add clean water and water-soluble fertilizer after the loquat seedlings are planted. By repeatedly moving the rod of the second hydraulic cylinder up and down, it can work with two clamping frames to ensure close contact between the roots of the loquat seedlings and the soil. However, this planting device has obvious incompatibility and limitations when applied to the planting of macadamia seedlings.

[0004] Specifically, existing planting devices face significant challenges in the planting of macadamia seedlings, including inconvenience, low efficiency, and inconsistent quality. On one hand, due to the characteristics and growth requirements of macadamia seedlings, temporary fixation is necessary during planting to ensure their straightness. However, existing planting devices often lack effective fixation mechanisms for the seedlings, leading to easy displacement or tilting during planting, affecting their straightness and subsequent growth. On the other hand, existing planting devices often require manual assistance in digging planting holes, placing seedlings, and filling soil, which is not only complex but also inefficient, failing to meet the demands of large-scale, high-precision macadamia seedling planting. Therefore, to address these shortcomings of existing technologies, we urgently need an innovative planting device for macadamia cultivation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a planting device for macadamia nut cultivation, which solves the problem that existing planting devices often lack an effective fixing and limiting mechanism for macadamia seedlings, causing the seedlings to easily shift or tilt during the planting process, affecting their straightness and subsequent growth. In addition, manual assistance is often required for operations such as digging planting holes, placing seedlings, and filling soil, which is not only complex but also inefficient and difficult to meet the needs of planting large quantities and high precision macadamia seedlings.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a planting device for macadamia nut cultivation, including an arc-shaped base.

[0007] It also includes a number of support frames fixedly connected to the top of the arc-shaped base, and a support tube rotatably connected to the inner side of the support frame;

[0008] All the bearing pipes have an inner plate on the inside, and the top of all the inner plates is fixedly connected to a top plate. All the top plates are rotatably connected to a support plate by a pin. All the support plates are fixedly connected to an arc-shaped support plate on the top. The bottom of the arc-shaped base is fixedly connected to several fixing rods.

[0009] All the inner sides of the support frames are rotatably connected to support rods, and all the support rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of all the support tubes.

[0010] All the support rods have a limit plate fixedly connected to one end, and a limit rod is provided on one side of the limit plate. The limit plate and the support frame are both provided with limit grooves for use with the limit rod.

[0011] All the limiting rods have a tension spring fitted at one end, and one end of the limiting rod is elastically connected to the outer wall of the bearing frame through the tension spring.

[0012] One end of each of the load-bearing rods is rotatably connected to the inner wall of each load-bearing frame via a pivot, and the other end of the load-bearing rod passes through the side of the load-bearing frame via a bearing sleeve.

[0013] All the supporting tubes have a plug on one side, and both the supporting tube and the inner plate have slots for use with the plug. The inner plate also has several slots.

[0014] This invention relates to a planting device for macadamia nut cultivation. Through the design of an arc-shaped base and a fixing rod, the device can closely fit and stably support the macadamia seedlings, effectively solving the problem of existing planting devices lacking an effective fixing and limiting mechanism during planting. This not only ensures the straightness of the seedlings but also improves their subsequent growth quality and yield. Secondly, the rotating connection between the supporting tube and the supporting frame, as well as the synergistic effect of the inner plate, top plate, support plate, and arc-shaped support plate, allows for easy adjustment and adaptation to macadamia seedlings of different heights. This not only improves the versatility and practicality of the device but also reduces operational complexity and labor intensity, increasing planting efficiency. Furthermore, this invention requires minimal manual assistance to complete a series of operations, including digging planting holes, placing seedlings, filling soil, and fixing and limiting, improving the accuracy and precision of planting and meeting the needs of large-scale, high-precision macadamia seedling planting.

[0022] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5A planting device for macadamia nuts includes an arc-shaped base 1, which serves as the foundation of the entire device. The arc design better conforms to the root shape of the macadamia seedling, providing stable support. Several fixing rods 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1, further enhancing the stability of the device in the soil and preventing the device from moving or tilting due to external forces. The base 1 also includes several support frames 2 fixedly connected to the top, with support tubes 3 rotatably connected to the inner side of each support frame 2. All support tubes 3 have inner plates 4 located inside the support tubes 3, with top plates fixedly connected to their top ends. 7. The inner plate 4 is mainly to provide additional support area so that the device can better fix and support the nut seedlings. The top of all the inner plates 4 is fixedly connected to the top plate 7, and the top plate 7 is rotatably connected to the support plate 9 by a pin. The top of all the support plates 9 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped support plate 8, which is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 9 and is in close contact with the trunk of the nut seedling to achieve effective fixing and limiting of the seedling. The arc design can better fit the shape of the trunk and provide stable support. Several fixing rods 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the arc-shaped base 1.

[0024] Furthermore, all the inner sides of the support frames 2 are rotatably connected with support rods 15, and all the support rods 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom of all the support tubes 3. When the angle and position of the support tube 3 are adjusted, the support rods 15 will rotate with the support tube 3 to maintain the stability of the support tube 3, enhance the connection stability between the support tube 3 and the support frame 2, make the support tube 3 more stable during rotation, and improve the reliability and durability of the entire device.

[0025] Furthermore, a limiting plate 11 is fixedly connected to one end of all the bearing rods 15, and a limiting rod 12 is provided on one side of the limiting plate 11. A limiting groove 13 for use with the limiting rod 12 is provided on the limiting plate 11 and on one side of the bearing frame 2. After the bearing tube 3 is rotated to a suitable position, the limiting rod 12 is inserted into the limiting groove 13 to limit and fix the bearing tube 3. This effectively limits the bearing tube 3 and prevents it from moving or tilting due to external force during the planting process, thus ensuring the fixing and straightness of the seedling.

[0026] Furthermore, one end of each limiting rod 12 is fitted with a tension spring 14, and one end of the limiting rod 12 is elastically connected to the outer wall of the bearing frame 2 through the tension spring 14. When it is necessary to release the limit, the tension spring 14 provides elastic force to help the limiting rod 12 pop out of the limiting groove 13, which facilitates quick release of the limit and makes the insertion and removal of the limiting rod 12 more convenient, improving the efficiency and convenience of operation. At the same time, the elastic connection of the tension spring 14 also ensures the stability and reliability of the limiting rod 12.

[0027] Furthermore, one end of each of the support rods 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of each of the support frames 2 via a pivot, and the other end of each support rod 15 passes through the side of the support frame 2 via a bearing sleeve.

[0028] Furthermore, each of the supporting tubes 3 has a rod 5 on one side, and both the supporting tube 3 and the inner plate 4 have slots 6 for use with the rod 5. The inner plate 4 has several slots 6. When the height of the inner plate 4 needs to be adjusted, the height of the inner plate 4 can be adjusted by inserting or removing the rod 5 into the slots 6 of different heights. This makes the height adjustment of the inner plate 4 more flexible and versatile, and can be used for nut seedlings of different heights, improving the versatility and practicality of the device. At the same time, the cooperation between the rod 5 and the slot 6 also ensures the stability and reliability of the inner plate 4 during the adjustment process.

[0029] In summary:

[0030] First, the entire arc-shaped base 1 and its accessories are transported to the planting site of the macadamia seedlings. Next, the arc-shaped base 1 is fitted over the bottom of the seedling to be planted. This step ensures the device fits snugly against the seedling, providing a stable support foundation for subsequent operations. Then, several fixing rods 10 at the bottom of the arc-shaped base 1 are inserted into the soil. The design of the fixing rods 10 not only enhances the stability of the entire device but also ensures that the device will not easily move or tilt due to external forces during planting, thus providing more reliable support for the seedling. Next, based on the height and growth characteristics of the seedling, the supporting tube 3 inside the supporting frame 2 is rotated. Since the supporting tube 3 is rotatably connected to the supporting frame 2, and all the inner sides of the supporting frames 2 are rotatably connected to supporting rods 15, which are fixedly connected to the bottom of the supporting tube 3, the supporting rods 15 rotate with the supporting tube 3 when the supporting tube 3 is rotated, maintaining the stability of the supporting tube 3. During rotation, the inner plate 4, its top plate 7, support plate 9, and arc-shaped support plate 8 also move until the arc-shaped support plate 8 is in close contact with the trunk of the nut seedling. This step effectively fixes and limits the nut seedling, ensuring its straightness during planting and preventing deviation or tilting due to external forces or its own growth characteristics. After the bearing tube 3 rotates to the appropriate position, it needs to be limited. At this time, using the limiting plate 11 fixedly connected to one end of the bearing rod 15, and the limiting rod 12 provided on one side of the limiting plate 11, the limiting rod 12 is inserted into the limiting groove 13 opened on one side of the limiting plate 11 and the bearing frame 2 to limit and fix the bearing tube 3. This design effectively limits the bearing tube 3, preventing it from moving or tilting due to external forces during planting, ensuring the fixing and straightness of the seedling. Meanwhile, one end of each limiting rod 12 is fitted with a tension spring 14, and one end of the limiting rod 12 is elastically connected to the outer wall of the support frame 2 through the tension spring 14. When it is necessary to release the limit, the tension spring 14 provides elastic force to help the limiting rod 12 pop out of the limiting groove 13, which facilitates quick release of the limit and makes the insertion and removal of the limiting rod 12 more convenient, improving operational efficiency and convenience. In addition, in order to adapt to nut seedlings of different heights, this device is also designed with a height adjustment mechanism for the inner plate 4. Specifically, one side of each support tube 3 is provided with an insertion rod 5, and one side of the support tube 3 and one side of the inner plate 4 are provided with slots 6 for use with the insertion rod 5, and there are several slots 6 on the inner plate 4. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the inner plate 4, simply insert or remove the insertion rod 5 into the slots 6 of different heights to achieve the height adjustment of the inner plate 4. This design makes the height adjustment of the inner plate 4 more flexible and versatile, and can be used for nut seedlings of different heights, improving the versatility and practicality of the device. Meanwhile, the cooperation between the insert rod 5 and the slot 6 also ensures the stability and reliability of the inner plate 4 during the adjustment process.
