Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to seedling transplanting technical field, especially in a kind of seedling transplanting root system protective sheath structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] In urban landscaping engineering and various seedling planting projects, seedling transplanting is crucial, which not only improves the survival environment of seedlings and provides them with more suitable growing space, but also promotes the complete development of seedling root system through reasonable pruning, thereby significantly improving the survival rate of seedlings, which plays a key role in creating beautiful landscaping landscape and maintaining ecological balance.

[0003] In the traditional seedling transplanting process, the roots of seedlings are not adequately protected, and they are usually simply tied with grass ropes. However, the mud clumps on the roots of seedlings are prone to break and fall off, and the water content is easily lost. Simple tying cannot provide adequate protection, which may cause environmental pollution of storage space and death of seedlings due to lack of water. The device usually uses a simple cloth bag, which has certain limitations.

[0004] The existing patent (publication number: CN221784876U) discloses a seedling transplanting root protection sleeve. The left and right protective sleeves are respectively clamped on the left and right sides of the mud clumps of seedling roots. The connecting screw is inserted through the inner holes of the right and left vertical blocks, and the limiting nut is screwed on the outside of the connecting screw and tightened. The left and right protective sleeves are combined and spliced to protect the mud clumps of seedling roots. The left and right transparent holes are designed to be fully transparent, which can facilitate ventilation and watering, and avoid root death or dryness.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the existing patent provides a solution. However, the existing protection structure for seedling transplanting process is too simple, and can only provide basic wrapping protection for seedling roots. In actual operation, seedlings may be subjected to various external impacts. These simple structures cannot effectively buffer, resulting in limited root protection effect. In addition, they cannot provide a ventilated and moisturizing protection space, making it difficult to provide sufficient oxygen to the roots while maintaining the humidity balance around them. They cannot meet the needs of seedling transplanting, and have great limitations in actual application.

[0006] Therefore, a seedling transplanting root system protective sheath structure is proposed. Utility model content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a root protection sleeve structure for seedling transplantation, which can solve the problem that the existing protective structures used in the seedling transplantation process are too simple and can only play a basic role in wrapping and protecting the seedling roots. In actual operation, seedlings will be subjected to various external impacts, and these simple structures cannot effectively buffer them, resulting in very limited root protection. In addition, they cannot provide a breathable and moisturizing protective space, and it is difficult to maintain the humidity balance around the roots while providing sufficient oxygen. They cannot meet the needs of seedling transplantation well and have great limitations in practical applications.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a seedling transplant root protection sleeve structure, including an outer sleeve, characterized in that: a hexagonal hole is provided on the outer side of the outer sleeve, a breathable and moisture-retaining structure is provided inside the outer sleeve, and a buffer protection structure is provided on the outer side of the outer sleeve.

[0009] The breathable and moisturizing structure includes an elastic expandable sleeve fixedly connected to the top of the outer sheath. The outer side of the elastic expandable sleeve is provided with an opening and closing sealing structure. The inner side of the outer sheath is bonded with a moisturizing buffer layer made of high-density sponge. The inner side of the moisturizing buffer layer is bonded with a moisturizing layer made of polyester fiber non-woven fabric. Both the moisturizing layer and the moisturizing buffer layer have breathable holes on their outer sides.

[0010] Preferably, the buffer protection structure includes a fixed plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer sheath, and a reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed plate.

[0011] Preferably, a rubber buffer rod is fixedly connected to the top of the reinforcing rod, and the rubber buffer rod is located on the outside of the outer sheath.

[0012] Preferably, an elastic ring is fixedly connected to the top of the rubber buffer rod, and the elastic ring is located on the outside of the outer sheath.

[0013] Preferably, the opening and closing sealing structure includes an elastic band fixedly connected to the outside of the elastic expansion sleeve, and the elastic band has a cavity inside.

[0014] Preferably, the cavity is provided with a strap, and the front and rear sides of the right side of the strap are both located to the right of the elastic band.

[0015] Preferably, the top of the outer side of the moisturizing layer is bonded with an abrasion-resistant elastic cloth, and the bottom of the abrasion-resistant elastic cloth is bonded to the top of the moisturizing buffer layer.

[0016] Preferably, the hexagonal hole is connected to the vent hole, and the diameter of the vent hole is smaller than the diameter of the hexagonal hole.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. This application features a breathable and moisture-retaining structure that is easy to operate and highly functional. The elastic expandable sleeve and the opening and closing structure make it easy to unfold the outer protective sleeve to insert the seedling roots, and then tighten it to fit the seedling tightly. The inner moist buffer layer of the outer protective sleeve is made of high-density sponge, which stores water after absorbing it. The moist layer made of polyester non-woven fabric has good water absorption, water retention and breathability. The two work together to slowly release moisture to the roots through the ventilation holes, while ensuring sufficient oxygen supply and maintaining the humidity balance around the roots, effectively improving the protection of the seedling roots. In addition, the moist buffer layer and the moist layer together also have a certain buffering effect.

[0019] 2. This application incorporates a buffer protection structure with hexagonal holes on the outer sheath. This structure ensures structural strength, reduces overall weight, disperses external forces, and enhances ventilation by incorporating air vents. This prevents excessive humidity inside the outer sheath from affecting the seedling roots. The buffer protection structure on the outer side of the outer sheath effectively cushions the impact of external forces on the seedling roots, greatly reducing the risk of root damage during seedling lifting, transportation, and planting. This overcomes the shortcomings of existing simple protective structures in terms of buffering and effectively ensures the safety of the seedling roots during transplanting.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0028] A root protection sleeve structure for seedling transplantation includes an outer sleeve 1, with hexagonal holes 2 on the outer side of the outer sleeve 1, a breathable and moisture-retaining structure 3 inside the outer sleeve 1, and a buffer and protective structure 4 on the outer side of the outer sleeve 1.

[0029] The breathable and moisturizing structure 3 includes an elastic expandable sleeve 31 fixedly connected to the top of the outer sheath 1. The outer side of the elastic expandable sleeve 31 is provided with an opening and closing sealing structure 32. The inner side of the outer sheath 1 is bonded with a moisturizing buffer layer 33, which is made of high-density sponge. The inner side of the moisturizing buffer layer 33 is bonded with a moisturizing layer 34, which is made of polyester fiber non-woven fabric. Both the moisturizing layer 34 and the moisturizing buffer layer 33 have breathable holes 35 on their outer sides.

[0030] In this embodiment: By setting up a breathable and moisture-retaining structure 3 and a buffer protection structure 4, when transplanting seedlings, the elastic expansion and contraction sleeve 31 and the opening and closing sealing structure 32 in the breathable and moisture-retaining structure 3 are used to open the entrance of the outer protective sleeve 1, making it convenient to put the seedling roots into it. After placement, the elastic expansion and contraction sleeve 31 and the opening and closing sealing structure 32 are tightened to make them fit tightly against the seedling, preventing external impurities from entering while creating a relatively stable internal environment for the roots. At this time, the moist buffer layer 33 made of high-density sponge begins to play its role. Before lifting the seedlings or during transplanting, the moist buffer layer 33 absorbs and stores water in advance. As time goes by, the moisture-retaining layer 34 made of polyester fiber non-woven fabric, with its good water absorption, water retention and breathability, works in conjunction with the moist buffer layer 33 to keep the roots in a stable environment. The stored moisture is slowly released through the ventilation holes 35 on the outer side of both layers, continuously moisturizing the seedling roots. At the same time, external oxygen can also enter through the ventilation holes 35 connected to the hexagonal holes 2, ensuring a sufficient oxygen supply to the roots, maintaining the humidity balance around the roots, and providing a suitable living environment for the roots. Furthermore, the soft material of the moist buffer layer 33 and the moisturizing layer 34 can buffer against slight external forces, reducing direct impact on the roots. The buffer protection structure 4 on the outer side of the outer sheath 1 is an important line of defense against greater external impacts. During seedling lifting, transportation, and planting, when there are external forces such as collisions and squeezing, the buffer protection structure 4 can absorb and disperse these impacts, greatly reducing the risk of root damage and comprehensively protecting the safety of the seedling roots during transplanting.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the buffer protection structure 4 includes a fixed plate 41 fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer sheath 1, and a reinforcing rod 42 fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed plate 41.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a rubber buffer rod 43 is fixedly connected to the top of the reinforcing rod 42, and the rubber buffer rod 43 is located on the outside of the outer sheath 1.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, an elastic ring band 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the rubber buffer rod 43, and the elastic ring band 44 is located on the outside of the outer sheath 1.

[0034] In this embodiment: by setting up a buffer protection structure 4, when the seedlings are subjected to external forces such as collisions and squeezing during the seedling lifting, transportation and planting process, the fixing plate 41 fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer sheath 1, together with the reinforcing rod 42, enhances the stability of the bottom of the outer sheath 1. The rubber buffer rod 43 located on the outside of the outer sheath 1, due to its good elasticity, can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force and play a buffering role. The elastic ring 44 located at the top of the rubber buffer rod 43 makes it easy to fit and fix the rubber buffer rod 43 on the outside of the outer sheath 1. The whole system works together to reduce the impact of external forces on the seedling roots inside the outer sheath 1 in all directions, greatly reducing the risk of root damage and effectively ensuring the safety of the seedling roots during the transplanting process, so that the outer sheath 1 is not easily deformed when subjected to force.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the opening and closing sealing structure 32 includes an elastic band 321 fixedly connected to the outside of the elastic expansion sleeve 31, and the elastic band 321 has a cavity 322 inside.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a strap 323 is provided inside the cavity 322, and the front and rear sides of the right side of the strap 323 are located to the right of the elastic band 321.

[0037] In this embodiment: by setting the opening and closing sealing structure 32, when transplanting seedlings, the tie 323 is in a loose state. Pulling the elastic fixing band 321 causes the elastic shrinking sleeve 31 to unfold, thus expanding the opening of the elastic shrinking sleeve 31, thereby easily opening the entrance of the outer protective sleeve 1, making it easy to put the seedling roots in. After placing the roots, pull the tie 323 to tie and fix it. Since the elastic fixing band 321 has a cavity 322 inside, the elastic fixing band 321 can be flexibly deformed when the tie 323 is pulled, thereby causing the elastic fixing band 321 to contract, causing the elastic shrinking sleeve 31 to tighten, closely fitting the seedling, effectively preventing external impurities from entering, creating a relatively closed and stable internal environment for the roots, and avoiding external factors from interfering with the normal growth of the roots.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top of the outer side of the moisturizing layer 34 is bonded with an anti-abrasion elastic cloth 5, and the bottom of the anti-abrasion elastic cloth 5 is bonded to the top of the moist buffer layer 33.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the hexagonal hole 2 is connected to the vent hole 35, and the diameter of the vent hole 35 is smaller than the diameter of the hexagonal hole 2.

[0040] In this embodiment: by setting the anti-abrasion elastic cloth 5, which is bonded to the top of the moist buffer layer 33, the damage caused by the root system of the seedling scraping the moist buffer layer 33 when it is placed inside the outer protective sleeve 1 can be effectively reduced, thus extending the service life of the moist buffer layer 33. The hexagonal hole 2 is connected to the ventilation hole 35. On the one hand, the larger diameter hexagonal hole 2 can effectively disperse external force and reduce the overall weight of the outer protective sleeve 1. On the other hand, the smaller diameter ventilation hole 35 can ensure ventilation and prevent large particles of impurities from entering, thus ensuring a stable internal environment. Outside air enters through the hexagonal hole 2 and then enters the interior through the ventilation hole 35, providing sufficient oxygen for the root system. Excess moisture inside can also be discharged through the ventilation hole 35, maintaining humidity balance and creating a suitable living environment for the root system of the seedling.

[0041] Working principle: During the use of this protective sleeve structure for seedling transplantation, the moist buffer layer 33 is first pre-hydrated to retain moisture. When transplanting seedlings, the tie 323 is loose. Pulling the elastic fixing band 321 causes the elastic expansion sleeve 31 to expand, widening the entrance of the outer sleeve 1 to facilitate placing the seedling roots inside. After placing the roots, the sleeve is closed by pulling the tie 323 to tie and secure it. Because the elastic fixing band 321 has a cavity 322 inside, the elastic fixing band 323 expands when the tie 323 is pulled. The strip 321 can deform flexibly and shrink, causing the elastic shrink sleeve 31 to tighten and fit tightly against the seedling. This effectively prevents external impurities from entering and creates a relatively closed and stable internal environment for the roots. Throughout the transplanting process, the moist buffer layer 33 is made of high-density sponge. The water stored before lifting the seedling or during transplanting will work together with the moisturizing layer 34 made of polyester fiber non-woven fabric over time. Both have ventilation holes 35 on their outer sides, and the ventilation holes 35 are connected to the hexagonal holes 2 on the outer sheath 1. Water is slowly released through the ventilation holes 35. The system allows for continuous moisture retention of the seedling roots. Outside air enters through the hexagonal holes 2 and then through the ventilation holes 35, providing ample oxygen to the roots. Excess moisture is also expelled through the ventilation holes 35, maintaining a humidity balance around the roots and providing a suitable living environment. Simultaneously, the soft material of the moisturizing buffer layer 33 and the moisture-retaining layer 34 acts as a buffer against minor external forces, reducing direct impact on the roots. During seedling lifting, transportation, and planting, when encountering collisions, compression, or other external forces, the fixing plate 41, fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer sheath 1, works in conjunction with the outer... The reinforcing rod 42 enhances the stability of the bottom of the outer sheath 1, making it less prone to deformation under stress. The rubber buffer rod 43 located on the outside of the outer sheath 1 effectively absorbs and disperses the impact force with its good elasticity, playing an initial buffering role. The elastic ring 44 at the top of the rubber buffer rod 43 not only facilitates the installation and fixation of the rubber buffer rod 43 on the outside of the outer sheath 1, but also further expands the buffer range, reducing the impact of external forces on the seedling roots in all directions and greatly reducing the risk of root damage. The overall components work together to protect the seedling roots during the transplanting process.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
