[0002] Epimedium, an important traditional Chinese medicine, requires high standards for both quality and yield during its cultivation. The use of plastic film (mulch film) plays a crucial role in its production. Mulch film not only effectively maintains soil temperature and promotes epimedium growth, but also suppresses weed growth and reduces pests and diseases, thereby improving both yield and quality. Therefore, mulch film laying technology has become a key aspect of epimedium cultivation.

[0003] However, existing mulch film laying techniques typically involve manually holding the mulch film roll or using traction equipment to drag it out. While this method is simple and direct, it reveals a series of significant limitations and technical problems in practice. For example, there is a lack of effective control over the mulch film during the laying process. This leads to the mulch film roll easily becoming loose and misaligned during dragging, affecting the quality of the laying and increasing the difficulty and complexity of the process. Furthermore, existing techniques make it difficult to cut the mulch film after laying, often requiring manual cutting with knives, which reduces efficiency and poses safety hazards. To address these shortcomings, we urgently need an innovative mulch film device for Epimedium cultivation to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] Reference Figure 1-5 A plastic film mulch device for Epimedium cultivation includes a frame 1. A winding rod 2 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the frame 1. An inner plate 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner side of the frame 1. The bottom of the inner plate 17 is provided with a bottom plate 18 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the frame 1. Several limiting wheels 23 are elastically connected to the bottom of the inner plate 17. The limiting wheels 23 initially limit and guide the pulled-out plastic film to ensure that the plastic film will not loosen or become disordered during the pulling process, and to keep the plastic film flat and stable. A side plate 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the frame 1. A support plate 11 is elastically connected to the bottom of the side plate 6. A sharp cutter 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 11. When the support plate 11 is pressed down, it cuts into the cutting edge on the support plate 14. The groove 15 is used to cut the mulch film, ensuring the accurate length and position of the mulch film. The bottom of the sharp cutter 12 is provided with a support plate 14 that is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the top of the support plate 14 is provided with a cutting groove 15 for use with the sharp cutter 12. It works with the sharp cutter 12 to provide an entry and guide for the cutter during cutting, ensuring that the cutter can accurately cut the mulch film. The side of the frame 1 near the support plate 14 is provided with a discharge groove 13, and the upper and lower parts of the inner side of the discharge groove 13 are rotatably connected to a rotating rod 20 through a rotating shaft. The rotating rod 20 limits and adjusts the pulled-out mulch film again, ensuring that the mulch film remains flat and stable during the laying process, and preventing the mulch film from wrinkling or shifting during the laying process.

[0023] Furthermore, one end of the winding rod 2 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating frame 1, and the other end of the winding rod 2 passes through the side wall of the frame 1 through the bearing sleeve. The operator places the mulch roll on the winding rod 2, and by rotating the winding rod 2, the mulch can be easily pulled out for laying, ensuring the smooth rotation and stable support of the mulch roll, and improving the smoothness and efficiency of mulch laying.

[0024] Furthermore, a limiting plate 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the winding rod 2 located on the outside of the frame 1, and a limiting rod 4 is provided on one side of the limiting plate 3. A limiting groove 5 for use with the limiting rod 4 is provided on the limiting plate 3 and the outer wall of the frame 1. Several limiting grooves 5 are provided on the limiting plate 3. The limiting rod 4 is inserted into the limiting groove 5 to limit the winding rod 2 and prevent the mulch film from loosening when it is not needed.

[0025] Furthermore, the top sides of all the limiting wheels 23 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner plate 17 through dampers 21, and the top of all the limiting wheels 23 are elastically connected to the bottom of the inner plate 17 through the second compression spring 22. When the mulch film is pulled out, it passes through the bottom of the limiting wheels 23. Under the action of the dampers 21 and the second compression spring 22, the limiting wheels 23 initially limit and guide the mulch film.

[0026] Furthermore, the top of the support plate 11 is elastically connected to the bottom of the side plate 6 through several first compression springs 10. A plug plate 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the support plate 11, and the top of the plug plate 7 penetrates through the side plate 6. The connection between the plug plate 7 and the side plate 6 is a sliding connection. A plug rod 8 is provided on one side of the plug plate 7, and slots 9 for use with the plug rod 8 are opened on both the plug plate 7 and the outer wall of the frame 1. After the laying is completed, the operator pulls out the plug rod 8, the support plate 11 is pressed down, and the sharp cutter 12 cuts the mulch film. After the cutting is completed, the support plate 11 is lifted up, and the plug rod 8 is inserted into the slot 9 for fixation.

[0027] Furthermore, wheels 16 are fixedly connected to the four corners at the bottom of the frame 1, and a traction ring 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the frame 1. The frame 1 can move easily on the ground, making it convenient for operators to drag it for mulching. The design of the traction ring 19 allows the frame 1 to be connected to traction equipment to achieve mechanized mulching.

[0028] In summary:

[0029] In use, the operator first places the required mulch film roll onto the winding rod 2. One end of the winding rod 2 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1 via a pivot, and the other end passes through the side wall of the frame 1 via a bearing sleeve. This design ensures that the mulch film roll can be smoothly pulled out from the winding rod 2, improving the smoothness and efficiency of mulch film laying. Furthermore, a limiting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the winding rod 2 located on the outside of the frame 1. A limiting rod 4 is provided on one side of the limiting plate 3, and limiting grooves 5 for use with the limiting rod 4 are provided on both the limiting plate 3 and the outer wall of the frame 1. Several limiting grooves 5 are provided on the limiting plate 3. By inserting the limiting rod 4 into the limiting groove 5, the winding rod 2 can be limited to prevent the mulch film from loosening when it is not needed. After the mulch film is pulled out, it will pass through several limiting wheels 23 provided at the bottom of the inner plate 17. The inner plate 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner side of the frame 1, and its bottom is also provided with a bottom plate 18 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the frame 1. The limiting wheel 23 is elastically connected to the bottom of the inner plate 17 through the damper 21 and the second compression spring 22. This design allows the limiting wheel 23 to initially limit and guide the mulch film, ensuring that the mulch film will not loosen or become disordered during the pulling process. Subsequently, the mulch film continues to move forward, passing between the two rotating rods 20 in the discharge chute 13. The discharge chute 13 is opened on the side of the frame 1 near the support plate 14. The rotating rods 20 are rotatably connected to the frame 1 through the rotating shaft. They can further limit and adjust the mulch film, ensuring that the mulch film remains flat and stable during the laying process. After one end of the mulch film is pressed into the soil, the operator can drag the frame 1 to move it, thereby carrying out the mulch film laying work. Wheels 16 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the frame 1, making it easy for the operator to move the frame 1 on the ground. Meanwhile, a traction ring 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the frame 1, allowing the frame 1 to be connected to the traction equipment for mechanized laying, further improving laying efficiency. After laying, the operator needs to detach the insertion rod 8 from the outer wall of the frame 1. At this time, the bearing plate 11 will move downward under the elastic compression of several first compression springs 10, driving the sharp cutter 12 to press down. The bottom of the sharp cutter 12 is provided with a support plate 14 fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the top of the support plate 14 is provided with a cutting groove 15 for use with the sharp cutter 12. When the sharp cutter 12 presses down, it will cut into the cutting groove 15, thereby cutting the mulch film. An insertion plate 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the bearing plate 11. The top of the insertion plate 7 passes through the side plate 6 and is slidably connected to the side plate 6. An insertion rod 8 is provided on one side of the insertion plate 7, and slots 9 for use with the insertion rod 8 are provided on both the insertion plate 7 and the outer wall of the frame 1. After cutting, the operator can lift the support plate 11 and insert one end of the insertion rod 8 into the slot 9 on the outer wall of the frame 1 to limit the insertion plate 7, which in turn limits the sharp cutting blade 12, so as to facilitate subsequent use.
