Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of planting tools, specifically a planting tool for dwarf valerian. Background Technology
[0002] Vallisneria natans, also known as water hyacinth or flat grass, is a perennial stemless submerged herb with creeping stems. It grows in streams, rivers, and other similar environments. Vallisneria natans can generally be planted in both shallow and deep water using a dwarf vallisneria natans planting tool.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN221264421U discloses a planting tool for *Vallisneria natans*, including a connecting tube head, a handle, a fork head, and an elastic binding strip. The elastic binding strip is tied to the fork head to protect the roots of *Vallisneria natans* from damage during planting. One end of the connecting tube head is flattened to fix the insertion end of the fork head. When planting *Vallisneria natans*, a clump of *Vallisneria natans* roots are placed on the fork head, inserted into the bottom mud of the water body with water, and then the planting tool is pulled out, and the *Vallisneria natans* is planted in the bottom mud of the water body. This planting tool is simple to make, inexpensive, and easy to carry. It uses the fork head to fix the *Vallisneria natans*, so that no mud or water is trapped during planting, and no damage is caused to the roots of the *Vallisneria natans*. It can be used with water, eliminating the need for dewatering operations and reducing costs.
[0004] Although the aforementioned patent does not damage the roots of the dwarf valerian and can be used in water without the need for dewatering, thus reducing costs, the patent does not clamp and fix the dwarf valerian when planting it in deep water using the fork head, which can easily lead to unstable planting and reduce its practicality.

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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a planting tool for dwarf valerian, including a fixing cylinder 1, a tapered plug 2 on the lower surface of the fixing cylinder 1, a first handle 3 on the upper left side of the fixing cylinder 1, and a fixing mechanism 4 on the lower right side of the fixing cylinder 1. The fixing mechanism 4 improves the stability of dwarf valerian planting in deep water areas.
[0023] Please see Figures 2 to 4To improve the stability of planting *Vallisneria natans* in deep water areas, the fixing mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes a fixing post 401 located on the lower right side of the fixing cylinder 1. A placement hole 402 is provided through the upper surface of the fixing post 401. Fixing grooves 403 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the left side wall of the inner cavity of the placement hole 402. Spring telescopic rods 404 are provided on the left side walls of the inner cavities of the upper and lower fixing grooves 403. An arc-shaped clamping frame 405 is provided on the right side of the upper and lower spring telescopic rods 404. The arc-shaped clamping frame 405 is slidably connected to the inside of the placement hole 402. A rubber layer 406 is provided on the opposite side wall of the arc-shaped clamping frame 405 and the inner cavity of the placement hole 402. An annular slider 407 is slidably connected inside the fixing cylinder 1. A moving rod 408 is provided inside the annular slider 407.
[0024] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism 4 also includes a moving block 409 disposed at the top of the moving rod 408. The moving block 409 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing cylinder 1. A moving port 410 is provided through the upper left side of the fixing cylinder 1. A second handle 411 is fixed to the left side of the moving block 409. The second handle 411 is slidably connected to the inside of the moving port 410. Sliding holes 412 are provided through the right and left sides of the fixing cylinder 1. A sliding rod 413 is slidably connected inside the left and right sliding holes 412. The right side of the sliding rod 413 is fixedly connected to the left side of the arc-shaped clamping frame 405. The left side of the sliding rod 413 is a first inclined surface, and the bottom end of the moving rod 408 is a second inclined surface. The moving distance of the moving rod 408 can be limited through the moving port 410, so that the pressing and releasing actions can be stably completed, and the clamping and releasing operations can be completed.
[0025] In this embodiment, the dwarf bitter grass can be placed inside the placement hole 402, with the leaves of the dwarf bitter grass located between the opposite sides of the left and right rubber layers 406, and also inside the limiting cylinder 414. The roots of the dwarf bitter grass are located below the fixing post 401. Then, by pressing the second handle 411 downwards until it can no longer be pressed, the moving rod 408 moves downwards. The bottom end of the moving rod 408 is inclined, which drives the sliding rod 413 to move to the right. The upper and lower spring telescopic rods 404 are stretched, and the arc-shaped clamping frame 405 moves to the right and clamps the leaves of the dwarf bitter grass.
[0026] In this embodiment, the left side of the slide rod 413 is in contact with the bottom end of the moving rod 408. The upper surface of the fixed column 401 is provided with a limit cylinder 414. The spring telescopic rod 404 includes a first sliding rod. The second sliding rod is slidably connected inside the first sliding rod. A spring is movably fitted on the outside of the first sliding rod. The moving block 409 is fitted with the gap of the fixed cylinder 1. The moving block 409 moves linearly up and down inside the fixed cylinder 1. The arc-shaped clamping frame 405 moves linearly left and right inside the placement hole 402. The upper and lower fixing grooves 403 are symmetrically distributed on the upper and lower sides of the transverse central axis of the fixed column 401. The second handle 411 moves linearly up and down inside the moving port 410. The outer sides of the first handle 3 and the second handle 411 are provided with anti-slip rubber sleeves.
[0027] It should be noted that by inserting the conical plug 2 at the bottom of the fixing cylinder 1 into the mud in the deep water area using the first handle 3 and the second handle 411, the roots of the dwarf valerian are inserted into the mud. After that, the second handle 411 is released, the upper and lower spring telescopic rods 404 are reset, and the arc-shaped clamping frame 405 is moved to the left to release the leaves of the dwarf valerian. Then the planting tool is removed from the deep mud and soil to complete the planting of the dwarf valerian, which can improve the stability of the planting.
[0028] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0029] The dwarf bitter grass can be placed inside the placement hole 402, with its leaves positioned between the opposite sides of the left and right rubber layers 406, and also inside the limiting cylinder 414. The roots of the dwarf bitter grass are located below the fixing post 401. Then, by pressing the second handle 411 downwards until it can no longer be pressed, the moving rod 408 moves downwards. The bottom end of the moving rod 408, being inclined, drives the sliding rod 413 to move to the right, stretching the upper and lower spring telescopic rods 404, and causing the arc-shaped clamping frame 405 to move to the right. Move and clamp the leaves of the dwarf valerian, then insert the conical plug 2 at the bottom of the fixing cylinder 1 into the mud in the deep water area using the first handle 3 and the second handle 411. Then, insert the roots of the dwarf valerian into the mud. After that, release the second handle 411, and the upper and lower spring telescopic rods 404 will reset, driving the arc-shaped clamping frame 405 to move to the left, releasing the leaves of the dwarf valerian. Then, remove the planting tool from the deep mud and soil to complete the planting of the dwarf valerian, which can improve the stability of planting.
