Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco production technology, and in particular to a lateral bud management device. Background Technology

[0002] In tobacco production, to improve the yield and quality of tobacco leaves, topping is generally required. After topping, each leaf axil of the tobacco plant can regenerate two, three, or more lateral buds. The growth of these lateral buds consumes a large amount of nutrients within the tobacco plant, affecting the growth and development of the main stem and leaves. Therefore, except in special circumstances, lateral buds should be removed promptly after sprouting. If the growth of lateral buds is not controlled after topping, approximately 1% of the yield will be lost daily, resulting in reduced yield and lower quality tobacco leaves, similar to tobacco plants that have not undergone topping.

[0003] Therefore, thoroughly removing lateral buds after topping is an important measure to ensure yield and quality. However, tobacco lateral buds have a strong sprouting ability, can regenerate after being removed, and grow very rapidly. Generally, lateral buds need to be removed again every 5-7 days after topping, or when they grow to 3-5cm. This is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but the wounds created by pruning also make them susceptible to invasion by pathogens, leading to disease transmission. Therefore, the application of tobacco bud inhibitors can not only reduce labor, improve work efficiency, reduce disease occurrence, and avoid cross-infection of viral diseases, but also have a positive impact on the agronomic traits, leaf yield and quality, and internal chemical composition of tobacco.

[0004] Currently, the application of bud-suppressing agents typically employs two methods: cup application and smear application. The cup application method involves pouring the prepared solution down the tobacco stem from the top, ensuring the solution adheres to the axillary buds of each leaf. However, a slight bend in the stem can prevent the solution from reaching every bud accurately, leading to waste. The smear method uses a brush or similar tool to apply the solution to each bud. While this method ensures coverage and provides excellent bud-suppressing effects, it is inefficient and time-consuming. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0028] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and "left," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a lateral bud management device, including a storage tank 1 and a hand-held module 4. The storage tank 1 contains a solution of a bud-inhibiting agent. The hand-held module 4 includes at least two finger cots, one of which is worn on the thumb of the worker, and the other finger cots are used in conjunction with the thumb cot to pinch and remove the lateral buds of the tobacco plant. A coating cotton 3 can be selectively placed on the outer surface of the finger cot used for the thumb, near the fingertip, or it can be placed on the outer surface of the finger cots used for other fingers (excluding the thumb), near the fingertip. The coating cotton 3 is connected to the storage tank 1 via a connecting pipe 2, so that the coating cotton 3 can absorb the bud-inhibiting agent. While the worker removes the lateral buds, the bud-inhibiting agent is accurately applied to the corresponding bud through contact with the coating cotton 3. This lateral bud management device can achieve simultaneous operation of lateral bud removal and bud-inhibiting agent application, improving work efficiency while ensuring that each lateral bud is coated with the bud-inhibiting agent. It has the advantages of high efficiency, convenience, ease of operation, and high application accuracy, and has good practicality.

[0030] For example, the medicine storage tank 1 is equipped with a carrying strap 5, which allows staff to easily carry the medicine storage tank 1 and move it at any time, reducing limitations and making the use of the lateral bud management device more flexible.

[0031] Specifically, the hand-wearing module 4 includes two cotton pads 3, which are applied to the thumb and index finger cots respectively. The connecting tube 2 includes two secondary tubes, which are correspondingly set to the cotton pads 3. One end of the secondary tube is connected to the cotton pad 3, and the other end is connected to the storage tank 1. When the worker carries the storage tank 1 and puts on the finger cots, the bud-inhibiting agent in the storage tank 1 flows through the secondary tubes of the connecting tube 2 to the thumb and index finger respectively, and is absorbed into the cotton pads 3. When the thumb and index finger pinch and break off the lateral bud, the bud-inhibiting agent in the cotton pads 3 overflows from the fingertips to the newly broken bud point, completing the application.

[0032] Furthermore, the connecting pipe 2 also includes a main pipe, and the other ends of the two secondary pipes are connected to one end of the main pipe. The other end of the main pipe is connected to the storage tank 1, forming a "Y"-shaped connecting pipe 2. The bud-inhibiting agent in the storage tank 1 flows sequentially through the main pipe and secondary pipes to the coating cotton 3, where it is absorbed. For example, the connecting pipes 2 are all flexible tubes, which can increase the flexibility of the lateral bud management device. The main pipe is slightly thicker than the two secondary pipes, allowing the two secondary pipes to divert the liquid containing the bud-inhibiting agent.

[0033] Optionally, one end of the main pipe of the connecting pipe 2 is connected to the lowest point of the medicine storage tank 1, which can make reasonable use of the space inside the medicine storage tank 1 and avoid wasting medicine. Alternatively, a pump can be installed between the medicine storage tank 1 and the connecting pipe 2 to help the connecting pipe 2 smoothly pump out the medicine.

[0034] In this embodiment, the connecting pipe 2 is equipped with a switching valve 6, which can selectively block the bud-inhibiting agent and control its outflow. Furthermore, the switching valve 6 can be configured as a one-way valve, which prevents the liquid containing the bud-inhibiting agent from flowing back into the storage tank 1 along the connecting pipe 2. This avoids the backflow of liquid that has come into contact with the outside environment, contaminating the liquid in the storage tank 1 and affecting the preservation quality of the bud-inhibiting agent, thus ensuring the excellent bud-inhibiting effect of the lateral bud management device. After the one-way valve is opened, the bud-inhibiting agent in the storage tank 1 can flow smoothly through the main pipe and the secondary pipe to the application cotton swabs 3 at the thumb and forefinger.

[0035] Understandably, a flow regulator 7 is also installed at the front end of the connecting pipe 2. The flow regulator 7 can adjust the flow rate of the liquid containing the bud inhibitor, thereby regulating the flow rate of the bud inhibitor. By adjusting the flow rate of the bud inhibitor through the flow regulator 7, the flow rate can be maintained in the coating cotton 3 while meeting the needs of the application operation, and under normal circumstances, no dripping will occur. This avoids problems such as excessive flow causing spillage and waste of the bud inhibitor or unclean dripping. It can also adjust the flow rate in a timely manner when the worker's work efficiency increases and the bud inhibitor buffer in the coating cotton 3 is insufficient, thus meeting the worker's work needs.

[0036] Specifically, the hand-wearing module 4 includes a glove, which consists of a palm sleeve and finger sleeves. The finger sleeves are connected to the palm sleeves. Compared to individual finger sleeves, wearing the entire glove can prevent the finger sleeves from slipping off, making the management of lateral buds more convenient.

[0037] Furthermore, the glove has two layers. Besides the outer layer, which is formed by the finger and palm cots as one piece, it also includes an inner protective layer. The finger and palm cots are worn over the inner protective layer. The finger cots have openings, and the liquid-coated cotton 3 is embedded in these openings. The presence of the inner protective layer prevents the liquid-coated cotton 3 and other chemical components such as the sprout inhibitor from directly contacting the worker, further ensuring worker safety. The connecting tube 2 is fixed to the inner surface of the palm cot to prevent the tubing from overlapping and becoming tangled. The secondary tube passes through the middle of the glove to prevent the thinner flexible tube from snagging on other branches and leaves of the tobacco plant and causing pulling, thus protecting the secondary tube. The main tube branches at the wrist opening of the glove and connects to the secondary tube. The main tube is exposed outside the glove, allowing for targeted protection, such as wrapping it with rubber strips or adding a protective layer to the outer layer.

[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
