Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of strawberry planting technology, and specifically relates to a ridge structure and ridge-forming mechanism for strawberry planting. Background Technology

[0002] As a high-value economic crop, strawberry cultivation methods significantly impact yield and quality. Strawberry planting ridges typically employ a trapezoidal structure. In practice, the ridge width is generally 60-70 cm, with a spacing of 30-40 cm between ridges. This structure facilitates drainage and management. The thick soil layer on the ridges, with its high porosity, prevents soil compaction and promotes strawberry root growth. Strawberry plants are usually planted on both sides of the top of the ridge. This layout ensures each plant receives even sunlight and ventilation, preventing overcrowding. Based on the principles of ridge cultivation, this layout also facilitates drainage and prevents waterlogging during the rainy season, thus preventing root rot.

[0003] Currently, most strawberry cultivation uses a duckbill-type posthole digger, which pierces the surface soil downwards with its pointed tip and spreads outwards to form a hole. However, since strawberries are planted on the top and sides of the raised beds, the lateral pressure exerted by the existing duckbill-type posthole digger when operating near the edge of the raised bed can damage the bed structure, causing the loose sides of the raised bed to collapse. This not only increases the workload of replanting but also reduces the bed's water and fertilizer retention capacity. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides a ridge structure for strawberry planting to solve the technical problem that the existing duckbill-type hole digger will damage the ridge structure when operating near the edge of the ridge, and the lateral pressure will cause the loose ridge to collapse on both sides.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A strawberry planting ridge structure includes a trapezoidal ridge body, with planting troughs on both sides of the top of the trapezoidal ridge body. The planting troughs have an inclined surface and a vertical surface. The inclined surface is located near the two sides of the trapezoidal ridge body, and the vertical surface is located away from the two sides of the trapezoidal ridge body.

[0007] Preferably, the angle α between the inclined surface and the vertical surface is 20°-45°.

[0008] Preferably, the planting trough has a plurality of evenly distributed positioning grooves, which are located on one side of the inclined surface.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the trapezoidal ridge body is provided with a drip irrigation tape limiting groove, which is located between a group of planting troughs.

[0010] A ridging mechanism includes a transverse rotating shaft, ridging rollers, inclined planting rollers, and transmission components. The ridging rollers are sleeved on both sides of the transverse rotating shaft, and the inclined planting rollers are slidably sleeved on the transverse rotating shaft and located between the pair of ridging rollers. The roller surface of the ridging rollers is arranged opposite to the inclined roller surface of the inclined planting rollers. The transmission components are sleeved on the transverse rotating shaft and located on both sides of the ridging rollers.

[0011] Preferably, along the axial direction of the transverse rotation shaft, a plurality of adjustment holes are evenly and sequentially opened on the surface of the transverse rotation shaft. The inclined planting roller includes an inclined roller body and a guide cylinder. The inclined roller body is slidably sleeved on the transverse rotation shaft, and the guide cylinder is slidably sleeved on the transverse rotation shaft. The guide cylinder is located on one side of the inclined roller body, and a positioning bolt is provided on the guide cylinder. The positioning bolt is screwed into the adjustment hole.

[0012] Preferably, a sealing bolt is also screwed into the adjustment hole, and the sealing bolt is screwed into the empty adjustment hole.

[0013] Preferably, a positioning arc protrusion is also provided on the inclined surface of the inclined roller body.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a drip irrigation roller, which is sleeved on the transverse rotation shaft and located between a pair of inclined planting rollers.

[0015] Preferably, the transmission component is one of a pulley or a gear.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This ridge structure features planting troughs cut into the trapezoidal ridge body. The entire ridge structure is formed as a single unit. Strawberry seedlings are simply placed in the planting troughs, and then backfilled with soil. The backfilled soil is relatively loose and well-aerated. This soil-backfilling planting method is more conducive to the growth of strawberry seedlings. Compared to the duckbill-style hole-digging method, the soil-backfilling planting method avoids the collapse of the ridge sides due to lateral pressure, reducing the workload of replanting.

[0018] 2. When strawberry seedlings are placed in the planting troughs on the trapezoidal ridge body, the strawberry arches are attached to the inclined surface. Workers can gently press the strawberry seedlings to embed the strawberry arches into the soil of the inclined surface. The strawberry seedlings grow at an angle in the planting troughs with the strawberry arches facing outwards. After the strawberries bear fruit, they will naturally hang down to both sides of the trapezoidal ridge body, which is beneficial for the strawberry fruits to receive sunlight, making management and harvesting convenient.

Therefore, the terms describing positional relationships in the accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting this patent. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2A strawberry planting ridge structure includes a trapezoidal ridge body 100, which enables double-row planting. The upper width of the trapezoidal ridge body 100 is 50-60cm, the lower width is 70-80cm, and the ridge height is 30-40cm. Planting troughs 110 are formed on both sides of the top of the trapezoidal ridge body 100. Each planting trough 110 has an inclined surface 111 and a vertical surface 112. The inclined surface 111 is located near the two sides of the trapezoidal ridge body 100, and the vertical surface 112 is located away from the two sides of the trapezoidal ridge body 100. During strawberry seedling planting, workers place strawberry seedlings sequentially on the inclined surface 111 at preset intervals, and then backfill the planting troughs with soil using a soil backfilling machine or manually. On the one hand, this ridge structure, with the planting trough 110 cut into the trapezoidal ridge body 100, forms a single, integrated ridge. Strawberry seedlings only need to be placed in the planting trough 110 and backfilled with soil. The backfilled soil is relatively loose and well-aerated. This soil-backfilling planting method is more conducive to the growth of strawberry seedlings. Compared to the duckbill-style hole-digging method, the soil-backfilling planting method avoids the collapse of the ridge sides due to lateral pressure, reducing the workload of replanting. On the other hand, strawberry cultivation has special requirements; the strawberry seedlings need to have their arched backs facing outwards, meaning the arched backs of the strawberry seedlings should face outwards from the pot or ridge. This allows the flowers and fruits to extend beyond the pot or ridge, facilitating management and harvesting. When planting strawberry seedlings in existing duckbill-type hole diggers, it is difficult to control the outward orientation of the seedlings, resulting in the strawberry fruits partially facing the trapezoidal ridge body 100, which is not conducive to light exposure and management. However, when strawberry seedlings are placed in the planting troughs 110 on the trapezoidal ridge body 100, the strawberry arches are attached to the inclined surface 111. Workers can gently press the strawberry seedlings to embed the arches into the soil on the inclined surface 111. The strawberry seedlings grow at an angle in the planting troughs 110 with the arches facing outward. After the strawberries bear fruit, they will naturally hang down to both sides of the trapezoidal ridge body 100, which is beneficial for the strawberry fruits to receive light, and facilitates management and harvesting.

[0028] In one possible embodiment, the angle α between the inclined surface 111 and the vertical surface 112 is 20°-45°. If the angle α is too small, approaching a vertical state, it is not conducive to controlling the arch direction of the strawberry seedlings when planting them; if the angle α is too small, approaching a vertical state, it is not conducive to controlling the arch direction of the strawberry seedlings when planting them; if the angle α is too large, approaching a horizontal state, the strawberry seedlings will grow laterally when planted, which is not conducive to strawberry growth and fruiting. The angle α between the inclined surface 111 and the vertical surface 112 is 20°-45°, which is conducive to controlling the strawberry arch to face outward and can prevent the strawberry seedlings from growing laterally.

[0029] Specifically, the angle α between the inclined surface 111 and the vertical surface 112 is 20°.

[0030] Specifically, the angle α between the inclined surface 111 and the vertical surface 112 is 30°.

[0031] Specifically, the angle α between the inclined surface 111 and the vertical surface 112 is 45°.

[0032] In one possible embodiment, to keep the strawberry plant's arched back facing outwards, the planting trough 110 is provided with several evenly distributed positioning grooves 120, which are located on one side of the inclined surface 111. When placing strawberry seedlings in the planting trough 110, the strawberry seedlings are placed in the positioning grooves 120 to limit their position. Simultaneously, the arched back of the strawberry plant is aligned with the positioning groove 120, which helps control the direction of the fruit as it grows towards the sides of the trapezoidal ridge body 100.

[0033] In one possible embodiment, the top of the trapezoidal ridge body 100 is provided with a drip irrigation tape limiting groove 130, which is located between a group of planting troughs 110. The drip irrigation tape limiting groove 130 facilitates shallow burial of the drip irrigation tape, making it easier for the drip irrigation tape to supply water to the strawberry roots on both sides.

[0034] A ridging mechanism 200, see Figures 3 to 5The system includes a transverse rotating shaft 210, a ridging roller 220, an inclined planting roller 230, and a transmission component 240. The diameter of the transverse rotating shaft 210 is 5-8 cm. The ridging roller 220 is sleeved on both sides of the transverse rotating shaft 210. The ridging roller 220 is truncated cone-shaped. During the movement of the ridging roller 220, it can compress the two sides of the trapezoidal ridge body 100. The inclined planting roller 230 is slidably sleeved on the transverse rotating shaft 210 and is located on a pair of... Between the ridging rollers 220, the roller surface of the ridging roller 220 is positioned opposite to the inclined roller surface of the inclined planting roller 230. The inclined planting roller 230 is truncated cone-shaped, and the groove depth of the inclined planting roller 230 is 8-15cm. The transmission component 240 is sleeved on the transverse rotating shaft 210 and located on both sides of the ridging roller 220. The transmission component 240 is connected to the drive end of the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism rotates, causing the transmission component 240 to rotate and move. A ditch is opened in front by the ditching device, and then the ridging mechanism 200 placed behind the ditching device performs ridging. The two sides of the trapezoidal ridge body 100 are squeezed out by the movement of the pair of ridging rollers 220. The transverse rotating shaft 210 rolls and squeezes out the top ridge surface of the trapezoidal ridge body 100. At the same time, the inclined planting roller 230 opens planting grooves 110 on both sides of the top surface of the trapezoidal ridge body 100.

[0035] Specifically, the ridging roller 220 is fixedly connected to the transverse rotating shaft 210, which can be achieved by welding or locking with pins.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, due to the different varieties of strawberry seedlings, some strawberry seedlings are quite tall and need to be moved closer to the center of the trapezoidal ridge body 100. Therefore, along the axial direction of the transverse rotation shaft 210, a plurality of adjustment holes 211 are evenly provided on the surface of the transverse rotation shaft 210. The inclined planting roller 230 includes an inclined roller body 231 and a guide cylinder 232. The inclined roller body 231 is slidably sleeved on the transverse rotation shaft 210, and the guide cylinder 232 is slidably sleeved on the transverse rotation shaft 210. The guide cylinder 232 is located on one side of the inclined roller body 231, and a positioning bolt 233 is provided on the guide cylinder 232. The positioning bolt 233 is screwed into the adjustment hole 211. The inclined roller body 231 slides along the axial direction of the transverse rotation shaft 210, driving the guide cylinder 232 to move, so that the inclined roller body 231 moves to a preset position. Then, the positioning bolt 233 is aligned with the adjustment hole 211 and fixed in the adjustment hole 211, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the inclined roller body 231 to adapt to the planting of different varieties of strawberry seedlings.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing bolt 234 is also screwed into the adjustment hole 211, and the sealing bolt 234 is screwed into any remaining adjustment hole 211. Since there are multiple adjustment holes 211, the sealing bolt 234 is used to seal the excess adjustment holes 211, preventing soil from clogging the adjustment holes 211. In use, the sealing bolt 234 can simply be removed from the adjustment hole 211.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning arc protrusion 235 is further provided on the inclined surface 111 of the inclined roller body 231. With the positioning arc protrusion 235 provided, during the rotation of the inclined roller body 231, the positioning arc protrusion 235 will press out the positioning groove 120 within the planting groove 110, facilitating the positioning of the strawberry seedlings.

[0039] In one possible embodiment, a drip irrigation roller 250 is further included, which is sleeved on the transverse rotation shaft 210 and located between a pair of inclined planting rollers 230. The drip irrigation roller 250 is provided to facilitate pressing the drip irrigation tape limiting groove 130 into the top surface of the trapezoidal ridge body 100, thereby facilitating the laying of the drip irrigation tape.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the transmission component 240 is one of a pulley or a gear. The pulley enables belt drive; the gear enables chain drive.
