Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quinoa cultivation technology, specifically to a quinoa seedling graft for quinoa cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Quinoa, a crop with high nutritional value, has been widely cultivated and promoted globally in recent years. Grafting quinoa seedlings is a crucial step in the cultivation process. Traditional quinoa seedling grafting is mostly done manually, involving digging the soil, placing the quinoa seedling, and covering it with soil. However, this method has many shortcomings, severely limiting the efficiency and quality of quinoa cultivation.

[0003] First, manually grafting quinoa seedlings is labor-intensive and inefficient. In large-scale quinoa cultivation, a vast number of seedlings need to be grafted. Manual labor is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to causing fatigue due to prolonged repetitive work, thus affecting the quality and speed of grafting.

[0004] Secondly, manual grafting makes it difficult to ensure consistency in grafting depth and spacing. Quinoa seedlings have strict requirements for soil depth and spacing, and manual operation often makes it difficult to accurately control the grafting depth and spacing, resulting in uneven growth of quinoa seedlings and affecting yield and quality.

[0005] Furthermore, traditional manual grafting methods are particularly difficult when dealing with hard soil. Hard soil is not only difficult to dig, but it also easily damages the root system of quinoa seedlings during the grafting process, affecting the survival rate and growth rate of the quinoa seedlings.

[0006] More importantly, additional watering is required after manual grafting to ensure the quinoa seedlings meet their growth needs. This not only increases planting costs but also makes it easy for untimely or uneven watering to hinder the growth of the quinoa seedlings.

[0007] Therefore, we propose a quinoa seedling graft for quinoa cultivation, which can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quinoa seedling graft for quinoa cultivation, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a quinoa seedling connector for quinoa cultivation, comprising a movable housing, a control groove provided at the bottom of the movable housing, an adjustment plate horizontally arranged inside the control groove, an adjustment tube vertically fixedly installed on the bottom side of the adjustment plate, a connector provided at the end of the adjustment tube away from the adjustment plate, the connectors being equidistantly distributed on the bottom side of the movable housing, and further comprising a drive mechanism for driving the connectors to make holes, and a drainage mechanism for automatically draining water.

[0010] As an optional solution to the technical solution of this application, the driving mechanism includes a driving motor and two sets of cams. The shaft end of the driving motor is fixedly connected to a driving rod. The two sides of the driving rod pass through the two sets of cams and are fixedly connected to the cams. The cams abut against the upper surface of the adjusting plate.

[0011] As an optional solution to the technical solution of this application, a first spring is provided on the bottom side of the adjustment plate, the first spring is sleeved on the outside of the adjustment tube, the drive motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the control groove, and the end of the drive rod away from the drive motor is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the other side of the control groove through a bearing.

[0012] As an optional solution to the technical solution of this application, the drainage mechanism includes a water storage tank, which is located above the control tank. A flexible hose is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the adjustment plate. The inlet end of the flexible hose is connected to the bottom end of the water storage tank, and the outlet end of the flexible hose is connected to the adjustment pipe. A piston groove is provided inside the connector, and a piston is slidably connected to the inner side of the piston groove. The end of the adjustment pipe away from the adjustment plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the piston. A first outlet is provided on the front side of the piston, and a second outlet is provided through the lower end of the inner wall of the front side of the piston groove.

[0013] As an optional solution to the technical solution of this application, the first outlet corresponds to the second outlet, a second spring is provided on the bottom side of the piston, and the piston and the piston groove are matched in size.

[0014] As an optional solution to the technical solution of this application, positioning blocks are symmetrically installed on both sides of the connector, and the positioning blocks are positioned below the second water outlet.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The control drive motor operates, and the drive rod drives the cam to rotate. When the cam's convex end rotates and abuts against the upper surface of the adjustment plate, it pushes the adjustment plate downwards within the control groove. The adjustment tube then pushes the connector on the bottom side of the movable housing downwards and inserts it into the soil for drilling, facilitating subsequent planting of quinoa seedlings. When the adjustment tube pushes the connector downwards and contacts the ground, it pushes the piston downwards within the piston groove on the inner side of the connector, aligning the first and second water outlets. Water in the storage tank can then be drained through the hose and adjustment tube, thus solving the problems of hard soil making drilling difficult and the need for irrigation after planting quinoa seedlings.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a quinoa seedling graft for quinoa cultivation, comprising a movable housing 1, a control groove 11 formed at the lower part of the interior of the movable housing 1, an adjusting plate 12 horizontally arranged inside the control groove 11, an adjusting tube 14 vertically fixedly installed on the bottom side of the adjusting plate 12, a connector 15 provided at the end of the adjusting tube 14 away from the adjusting plate 12, the connectors 15 being equidistantly distributed on the bottom side of the movable housing 1, and a driving mechanism for driving the connectors 15 to make holes, the driving mechanism including a driving motor. The device consists of a motor 18 and two sets of cams 17. The shaft end of the drive motor 18 is fixedly connected to a drive rod 16. The two sides of the drive rod 16 pass through the two sets of cams 17 respectively and are fixedly connected to the cams 17. The cams 17 abut against the upper surface of the adjustment plate 12. A first spring 13 is provided on the bottom side of the adjustment plate 12. The first spring 13 is sleeved on the outside of the adjustment tube 14. The drive motor 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the control groove 11. The end of the drive rod 16 away from the drive motor 18 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the other side of the control groove 11 through a bearing.

[0022] In this technical solution, the rollers on both sides of the movable housing 1 facilitate the movement of the connector 15 on the bottom side of the movable housing 1 to adjust the drilling position. The corresponding controller controls the drive motor 18 to work (a mobile power supply is installed inside the movable housing 1, not shown in the figure), which drives the drive rod 16 to rotate, thereby driving the two sets of cams 17 to rotate above the adjustment plate 12. When the convex end of the cam 17 rotates and abuts against the upper surface of the adjustment plate 12, it can push the adjustment plate 12 to move downward in the control groove 11. Through the adjustment tube 14, it can push the connector 15 on the bottom side of the movable housing 1 to move downward and insert it into the soil for drilling, which is convenient for subsequent planting of quinoa seedlings. When the convex end of the cam 17 rotates away from the adjustment plate 12, the first spring 13 is provided on the bottom side of the adjustment plate 12. Through the elastic force of the first spring 13, the adjustment plate 12 can be pushed upward to reset. Through the adjustment tube 14, the connector 15 is pulled out of the soil, which can then be used for continuous drilling.

[0023] In this embodiment, a drainage mechanism for automatic drainage includes a water storage tank 24, which is located above the control tank 11. A flexible hose 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the adjusting plate 12. The inlet end of the flexible hose 25 is connected to the bottom end of the water storage tank 24, and the outlet end of the flexible hose 25 is connected to the adjusting pipe 14. A piston groove 2 is provided inside the connector 15, and a piston 21 is slidably connected to the inner side of the piston groove 2. The end of the adjusting pipe 14 away from the adjusting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the piston 21. A first outlet 22 is provided on the front side of the piston 21, and a second outlet 23 is provided through the lower end of the inner wall of the front side of the piston groove 2. The first outlet 22 and the second outlet 23 correspond to each other. Positioning blocks 27 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the connector 15, and the positioning blocks 27 are located below the second outlet 23.

[0024] In this technical solution, when the regulating pipe 14 pushes the connector 15 downward to perform the drilling operation, the bottom end of the connector 15 first contacts the ground. Through the piston 21 and the piston groove 2, the regulating pipe 14 can push the piston 21 downward in the piston groove 2, so that the first outlet 22 and the second outlet 23 are aligned. Through the hose 25, the water in the water storage tank 24 can be introduced into the regulating pipe 14 and discharged through the second outlet 23 on the outside of the connector 15. This solves the problems of hard soil making it inconvenient to drill holes and the need for irrigation after planting quinoa seedlings.

[0025] In this embodiment, a second spring 26 is provided on the bottom side of the piston 21, and the piston 21 is matched with the piston groove 2 in size.

[0026] In this technical solution, when the regulating plate 12 pulls the plug 15 out of the soil through the regulating pipe 14, the piston 21 is provided with a second spring 26 on the outside. The elastic force of the second spring 26 can push the piston 21 to move upward in the piston groove 2, so that the first outlet 22 and the second outlet 23 are misaligned, and the drainage operation of the second outlet 23 is further automatically controlled.

[0027] When using a quinoa seedling grafting device for quinoa cultivation, the rollers on both sides of the movable housing 1 facilitate the movement of the graft 15 on the bottom side of the movable housing 1 to adjust the drilling position. The corresponding controller controls the drive motor 18, which in turn rotates the drive rod 16, causing two sets of cams 17 to rotate above the adjusting plate 12. When the convex end of the cam 17 rotates and abuts against the upper surface of the adjusting plate 12, it pushes the adjusting plate 12 downwards within the control groove 11. Through the adjusting tube 14, it pushes the graft 15 on the bottom side of the movable housing 1 downwards and inserts it into the soil for drilling, facilitating subsequent planting of quinoa seedlings. When the convex end of the cam 17 rotates away from the adjusting plate 12, the first spring 13 on the bottom side of the adjusting plate 12, through its elastic force, pushes the adjusting plate 12 upwards to reset. Through the adjusting tube 14, it pulls the graft 15 out of the soil, enabling continuous drilling. In the drilling operation, when the regulating pipe 14 pushes the connector 15 downward to perform the drilling operation, the bottom end of the connector 15 first contacts the ground. It is slidably connected to the piston groove 2 through the piston 21. The regulating pipe 14 can push the piston 21 downward in the piston groove 2, so that the first outlet 22 and the second outlet 23 are aligned. Water in the water storage tank 24 can be introduced into the regulating pipe 14 through the hose 25 and discharged through the second outlet 23 on the outside of the connector 15. This solves the problems of hard soil making it inconvenient to drill holes and the need for irrigation after planting quinoa seedlings. When the regulating plate 12 pulls the connector 15 out of the soil through the regulating pipe 14, the second spring 26 is set on the outside of the piston 21. The elastic force of the second spring 26 can push the piston 21 upward in the piston groove 2, so that the first outlet 22 and the second outlet 23 are misaligned, and the drainage operation of the second outlet 23 is further automatically controlled.
