Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of seedling transplanting tools, and in particular to a portable Dendrobium seedling transplanting tool. Background Technology
[0002] Transplanting seedlings is a process that requires careful handling to ensure healthy growth. This typically involves first digging up the seedlings, preserving as much soil as possible around the roots and keeping the root system intact, then placing the seedlings and soil into a prepared new substrate at a certain depth. Finally, lightly pressing the substrate and watering the seedlings are performed. However, for large-scale seedling transplanting, manual operation is too inefficient. Existing technologies can employ a seedling transplanter, such as the one disclosed in Chinese patent document CN209949852U. However, the top of the circular cone is connected by two long handles, and pushing the handles inwards opens and closes the cone, which is laborious and inconvenient to use. Therefore, further improvement and optimization are needed. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a portable Dendrobium seedling transplanting tool to solve the problems of laborious operation and inconvenience of existing seedling transplanting tools.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a portable Dendrobium seedling transplanting tool, including a vertical frame with an arc-shaped plate movably connected to the bottom end of the frame, through which seedlings are dug and transplanted.
[0005] The bottom of the vertical frame is symmetrically connected to the two sides of the connecting plate. The arc-shaped plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plate. In the initial state, the arc-shaped plates on both sides form a hollow cone shape, and the open end of the cone faces the vertical frame. The top of the arc-shaped plate is provided with a connecting plate at the bottom of the connecting plate, and is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate through the connecting plate. The side of the top of the arc-shaped plate away from the connecting plate is connected to a side plate.
[0006] A sliding rod is slidably connected to the vertical frame along its length. The two ends of the sliding rod are rotatably connected to a transmission rod. The bottom end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the side plate. An elastic element is connected between the sliding rod and the vertical frame to push the arc plates on both sides to rotate and enclose into a cone shape. By lifting the sliding rod, the elastic element is elastically extended, which at the same time drives the arc plates on both sides to rotate, so that the bottom ends of the arc plates on both sides are in an open state.
[0007] Preferably, the vertical frame includes a horizontal bar at the top, vertical bars connected to both ends of the horizontal bar, and an annular part connected to the bottom of the vertical bar. Sliding sleeves are connected to both ends of the sliding rod, and the sliding sleeves are slidably fitted onto the vertical bar.
[0008] Preferably, the slide bar is located inside the vertical frame, near the lower part of its horizontal bar.
[0009] Preferably, the outer side of the sliding sleeve is connected to a side ear, and the top end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the side ear.
[0010] Preferably, a fixed crossbar is fixedly installed inside the vertical frame at a position below the slide bar, and an elastic element is connected between the fixed crossbar and the slide bar.
[0011] Preferably, the curved plate has multiple first holes.
[0012] Preferably, the curved plate is provided with multiple protruding spikes, and the vertical frame is provided with a pull rope. The pull rope drives the protruding spikes to move, which is used to stir and loosen the soil inside the curved plate.
[0013] Preferably, multiple vertical grooves are formed along the inner edge of the arc-shaped plate, and slide bars are slidably connected in the grooves. The bottom end of the slide bar is elastically connected to the groove, the top end of the slide bar is connected to the pull rope, and protrusions are distributed on the slide bar.
[0014] Preferably, the slider has a second hole. In the initial state, the second hole is opposite to the first hole. By pulling the rope, the slider is moved upward so that the second hole is misaligned with the first hole, and the slider is used to close the position of the first hole.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: An arc-shaped plate is movably connected to the bottom of the vertical frame. In the initial state, the arc-shaped plates on both sides close together to form a hollow cone shape, with the open end of the cone facing the vertical frame. During use, by holding the horizontal bar and the sliding rod, the sliding rod is naturally pulled upwards, causing the elastic element to stretch elastically. Simultaneously, this causes the arc-shaped plates on both sides to rotate, opening the bottom ends of the arc-shaped plates. The opened arc-shaped plates are then inserted downwards into the soil towards the seedling. After a certain depth, the horizontal bar and the sliding rod are released, allowing the elastic element to... Under the elastic contraction, the sliding rod naturally moves down to reset, or the sliding rod can be manually pushed down until the arc-shaped plates on both sides rotate and close together to form a cone shape. This is used to cover the seedling in the hollow cone formed by the arc-shaped plates. Then, the vertical frame is lifted to keep the arc-shaped plates closed, and the closed arc-shaped plates are inserted into the new substrate. After being inserted to a certain depth, the horizontal bar and the sliding rod are held again, and the arc-shaped plates are pulled out to ensure that the seedling and the soil on its roots are completely transplanted into the new substrate. The operation is simple and suitable for batch seedling transplanting operations. Attached Figure Description

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a portable Dendrobium seedling transplanting tool includes a vertical frame 1. An arc-shaped plate 2 is movably connected to the bottom of the vertical frame 1, allowing for the digging and transplanting of seedlings. Connecting plates 3 are symmetrically connected to both sides of the bottom of the vertical frame 1. The arc-shaped plates 2 are symmetrically positioned on both sides of the connecting plates 3. In the initial state, the arc-shaped plates 2 on both sides form a hollow cone shape, with the open end of the cone facing the vertical frame 1. A connecting plate 4 is located at the bottom of the connecting plate 3 at the top of the arc-shaped plate 2, and the connecting plate 4 connects to the bottom of the connecting plate 3. A side plate 5 is connected to the top of the arc plate 2 away from the connecting plate 3. A slide rod 6 is slidably connected to the vertical frame 1 along its length. The two ends of the slide rod 6 are rotatably connected to the transmission rod 7. The bottom end of the transmission rod 7 is rotatably connected to the side plate 5. An elastic element 8 is connected between the slide rod 6 and the vertical frame 1 to push the arc plates 2 on both sides to rotate and enclose into a cone shape. By lifting the slide rod 6, the elastic element 8 is elastically extended, which at the same time drives the arc plates 2 on both sides to rotate, so that the bottom ends of the arc plates 2 on both sides are in an open state.
[0026] This utility model includes a vertical frame 1, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the vertical frame 1 includes a top horizontal bar 100, vertical bars 101 connected to both ends of the horizontal bar 100, and a ring 102 connected to the bottom of the vertical bar 101. An arc-shaped plate 2 is movably connected to the bottom of the vertical frame 1, through which seedlings are dug and transplanted. Connecting plates 3 are symmetrically connected to both sides of the bottom of the vertical frame 1. The arc-shaped plates 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plates 3. In the initial state, the arc-shaped plates 2 on both sides enclose to form a hollow cone shape, and the open end of the cone faces the vertical frame 1. A connecting plate 4 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 3 at the top of the arc-shaped plate 2. When the arc-shaped plates 2 on both sides enclose, the connecting plates 4 on both sides overlap and abut, and are rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 3 through the connecting plate 4. The top of the arc-shaped plate 2 is away from the connecting plate 3. A side plate 5 is connected to one side of the vertical frame 1. A slide rod 6 is slidably connected along its length on the vertical frame 1. A transmission rod 7 is rotatably connected to both ends of the slide rod 6. Specifically, the slide rod 6 is located inside the vertical frame 1, near the lower part of its horizontal bar 100. Sliding sleeves 61 are connected to both ends of the slide rod 6, and the sliding sleeves 61 are slidably fitted onto the vertical bar 101. A side ear 62 is connected to the outer side of the sliding sleeves 61. The top end of the transmission rod 7 is rotatably connected to the side ear 62, and the bottom end of the transmission rod 7 is rotatably connected to the side plate 5. An elastic element 8 connects the slide rod 6 and the vertical frame 1. Specifically, a fixed horizontal bar 9 is fixedly installed inside the vertical frame 1 below the slide rod 6. The elastic element 8 connects the fixed horizontal bar 9 and the slide rod 6. The elastic element 8 can be a conventional elastic component such as a spring. Figure 1 As shown, the curved plates 2 on both sides are rotated to form a cone shape. In use, by holding the crossbar 100 and the sliding rod 6, the sliding rod 6 is naturally pulled upwards. Figure 2As shown, the elastic element 8 is elastically extended, simultaneously rotating the arc-shaped plates 2 on both sides, causing the bottom ends of the arc-shaped plates 2 to open. The open arc-shaped plates 2 are then inserted into the soil downwards towards the seedling. After a certain depth, the horizontal bar 100 and the sliding rod 6 are released. Under the elastic contraction of the elastic element 8, the sliding rod 6 naturally moves downwards to its original position. Alternatively, the sliding rod 6 can be manually pushed downwards until the arc-shaped plates 2 on both sides rotate and close into a cone shape. This cone shape is used to cover the seedling within the hollow cone formed by the arc-shaped plates 2. The vertical frame 1 is then lifted, maintaining the closed state of the arc-shaped plates 2. The closed arc-shaped plates 2 are then inserted into the new substrate. After a certain depth, the horizontal bar 100 and the sliding rod 6 are held again, and the arc-shaped plates 2 are pulled out. This ensures that the seedling and the soil on its roots are completely transplanted into the new substrate. The operation is simple and suitable for batch seedling transplanting.
[0027] Specifically for Dendrobium seedlings, considering their preference for loose, well-aerated, and well-drained substrate, therefore, as another embodiment of this utility model, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the arc-shaped plate 2 has multiple first holes 21. On the one hand, when digging up the seedlings, the arc-shaped plates 2 on both sides are rotated to form a cone shape, which is used to cover the seedlings in the hollow cone formed by the arc-shaped plates 2. Due to the presence of multiple first holes 21, the soil will not be tightly squeezed, thus avoiding the soil covering the seedling roots being too tightly packed. On the other hand, when digging out the seedlings, the bottom of the arc-shaped plate 2 can be tapped on the ground multiple times to further loosen the soil inside and allow some of it to leak out through the first holes 21, while keeping the root system intact, which further promotes the healthy growth of Dendrobium seedlings.
[0028] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, multiple protrusions 22 are movably provided inside the arc-shaped plate 2, and a pull rope 10 is provided inside the vertical frame 1. Specifically, one end of the protrusion 22 can be elastically connected to the inside of the arc-shaped plate 2, and the other end can be inserted into the enclosed hollow cone. By manually pulling the pull rope 10, the protrusion 22 is driven to move back and forth, which is used to further stir and loosen the soil inside the arc-shaped plate 2.
[0029] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, multiple vertical grooves 23 are formed along the inner edge of the arc-shaped plate 2. Sliding strips 11 are slidably connected within the grooves 23. The bottom end of the sliding strip 11 is elastically connected to the groove 23 using conventional elastic components such as springs. The top end of the sliding strip 11 is connected to the pull rope 10. Protrusions 22 can be distributed on the sliding strip 11, such as... Figure 2As shown, when holding the crossbar 100, the pull rope 10 can be moved up and down repeatedly, causing the slide bar 11 to slide up and down along the slide groove 23. At the same time, the protrusion 22 moves up and down to further agitate and loosen the soil in the arc plate 2.
[0030] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a second hole 12 is provided on the slider 11. In the initial state, the second hole 12 is set opposite to the first hole 21. The enclosed arc plate 2 is inserted into the new substrate. After being inserted to a certain depth, the crossbar 100 and the slider 6 are held again. At the same time, the pull rope 10 is held. By pulling the pull rope 10, the slider 11 is moved upward, so that the second hole 12 is set off from the first hole 21. The slider 11 is used to close the position of the first hole 21. Thus, during the opening of the arc plate 2, the first hole 21 is in a closed state by the slider 11, which prevents the new substrate from entering the arc plate 2 along the hole. This further helps to keep the transplanted Dendrobium seedlings loose and breathable.
