[0002] In many fields such as ecological research, agricultural planting, and landscape maintenance, accurate knowledge of plant root depth is of paramount importance. Understanding root depth helps researchers delve into plant growth characteristics, assists agricultural producers in optimizing irrigation and fertilization strategies, and provides crucial information for landscape workers in plant transplantation and maintenance management to ensure the healthy growth and rational layout of various vegetation types.

[0003] Existing methods for detecting the depth of vegetation roots and stems suffer from numerous problems. Traditional detection tools often employ complex and cumbersome fixing methods for the shovel head, such as common bolt connections. Operators must spend considerable time aligning multiple bolt holes and tightening them one by one, making the operation extremely inconvenient. Furthermore, the shovel heads in traditional tools are typically designed to be quite sharp to meet the requirements of cutting into the soil and excavating roots and stems. However, in actual operation, whether during the busy process of detection or the final stages afterward, operators are highly susceptible to accidentally touching the shovel head. Without any protective measures, contact with the sharp shovel head can easily cause cuts, scratches, or other injuries of varying degrees, posing a significant threat to the operator's personal safety. To address these technical problems, this application proposes a vegetation root and stem depth detection tool. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a root and stem depth detection tool for vegetation. The shovel head is initially positioned using a connector block and connector slot, and then secured with a retaining ring, locking block, and locking ring. The installation process is simple and quick, saving installation time. Furthermore, a protective shell and a reset function for the fixing shaft and tension spring are included. After detection, the protective shell can be placed over the shovel head to prevent operator injury from accidental contact with the sharp shovel head, ensuring operational safety.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A root and stem depth detection tool for vegetation includes a tool rod, an installation head fixedly connected to the bottom end of the tool rod, a shovel head connected to the bottom side of the installation head via a plug-in assembly, two retaining rings at the top end of the shovel head, the outer walls of the two retaining rings connected by a locking assembly for mounting the shovel head, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the installation head, a support block rotatably connected to the bottom side of the fixing plate, a protective shell fixedly connected to the bottom side of the support block, the outer wall of the protective shell connected to the outer wall of the tool rod via a traction assembly, and the middle of the adjacent side of the fixing plate and the support block connected by a reset assembly for protecting the shovel head.

[0007] Furthermore, the plug-in assembly includes a plug-in block fixedly connected to the bottom side of the mounting head, and the top side of the shovel head has a plug-in groove, with the plug-in block disposed inside the plug-in groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a locking block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ferrule, and the outer walls of two adjacent locking blocks are provided with locking rings. The outer walls of both the locking blocks and the locking rings are provided with threads.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5This utility model provides an embodiment of a root and stem depth detection tool for vegetation, including a tool rod 1, a mounting head 4 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the tool rod 1, an insertion block 16 fixedly connected to the bottom side of the mounting head 4, an insertion groove opened on the top side of the shovel head 12, the insertion block 16 disposed inside the insertion groove, two retaining rings 13 provided at the top end of the shovel head 12, a locking block 14 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the retaining rings 13, and locking rings 15 provided on the outer walls of two adjacent locking blocks 14. The outer walls of both the locking blocks 14 and the locking rings 15 are threaded for engaging the shovel head 12. The installation head 4 is fixedly connected to a fixed plate 5 on its outer wall. A support block 7 is rotatably connected to the bottom side of the fixed plate 5. A protective shell 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the support block 7. A slip ring 3 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the tool rod 1. A traction rope 8 is connected to the outer wall of the slip ring 3 and the outer wall of the protective shell 9. A limit wheel 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate 5. The traction rope 8 is set on the inner wall of the limit wheel 6. A fixed shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the fixed plate 5 and the support block 7. A tension spring 11 is connected between two adjacent fixed shafts 10 to protect the shovel head 12.

[0026] Specifically, when it is necessary to detect the depth of plant roots, the shovel head 12 is first installed onto the mounting head 4 at the bottom of the tool handle 1. The shovel head is initially positioned by inserting the insertion block 16 on the bottom side of the mounting head 4 into the insertion groove on the top side of the shovel head 12. Next, two retaining rings 13 are fitted onto the outer wall of the insertion block 16, and the locking blocks 14 fixed to the outer wall of the retaining rings 13 are aligned. Then, the threaded locking ring 15, with its anti-slip texture on its outer wall for easy operation, is screwed onto the outer wall of the two adjacent locking blocks 14, firmly fixing the shovel head 12 onto the mounting head 4. Once ready, the operator holds the tool handle 1, aligns the shovel head 12 with the plant roots, presses down forcefully, and rotates the tool handle 1. The shovel head 12 begins drilling into the roots. During drilling, the shovel head 12 cuts into the soil, excavating the soil containing the roots. The depth of the roots extracted from the soil is observed within the shovel head 12, thus detecting the depth of the plant roots. After the inspection is completed, the protective shell 9 can be covered on the outside of the shovel head 12 by resetting the fixed shaft 10 and the tension spring 11 to prevent the shovel head 12 from causing injury to the operator. When this tool is needed, the upper sliding ring 3 can be moved on the outer wall of the tool rod 1 to pull the traction rope 8 to slide on the inner wall of the limit wheel 6, which will pull the protective shell 9 and the support block 7 to rotate on the outer wall of the fixed plate 5, thereby controlling the opening of the protective shell 9 and allowing the shovel head 12 to inspect the roots and stems of the vegetation.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The outer wall of the tool rod 1 is fixedly connected to a limit ring 2 to limit the sliding of the slip ring 3, and the outer wall of the locking ring 15 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0028] Specifically, the limiting ring 2 can prevent the slip ring 3 from sliding off the outer wall of the tool rod 1, and the anti-slip texture on the outer wall of the locking ring 15 facilitates operation.

[0029] Working Principle: Before detecting the depth of plant roots and stems, the shovel head 12 must first be installed on the mounting head 4 at the lower end of the tool handle 1. The insertion block 16 at the bottom of the mounting head 4 is inserted into the insertion slot at the top of the shovel head 12 to complete the initial positioning of the shovel head. Then, two retaining rings 13 are placed on the outside of the insertion block 16, aligning the locking blocks 14 fixed to the outside of the retaining rings 13. Finally, the threaded locking rings 15 with anti-slip textures on the outer wall are screwed onto the outside of the two adjacent locking blocks 14, thus firmly fixing the shovel head 12 to the mounting head 4. After installation, the operator holds the tool handle 1, aligns the shovel head 12 with the plant root and stem location, presses down forcefully, and rotates the tool handle 1. The shovel head 12 then begins drilling into the root and stem area. During drilling, the shovel head 12 cuts into the soil, excavating the soil containing the roots and stems. By observing the depth of the roots and stems in the soil excavated by the shovel head 12, the depth of the plant roots and stems can be detected. After the inspection, the protective shell 9 is placed over the outside of the shovel head 12 using the reset function of the fixed shaft 10 and the tension spring 11 to prevent the shovel head 12 from causing injury to the operator. When the tool needs to be used again, the slip ring 3 is slid upward to move it outside the tool handle 1, causing the traction rope 8 to slide inside the limit wheel 6, which in turn pulls the protective shell 9 and the support block 7 to rotate outside the fixed plate 5, thus controlling the opening of the protective shell 9 so that the shovel head 12 can be used again to inspect the plant root system.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
