Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to plant digging tools, specifically to a plant digging device that can reduce soil erosion from plant roots. Background Technology

[0002] Studies have shown that removing plants along with their roots and attached soil intact helps reduce soil erosion around the roots and also reduces damage to the root system, which has many benefits for plant transplantation or sampling analysis. When digging up plants for transplantation or sampling, a long shovel-type plant digger is typically used. Compared to a regular shovel, this tool has a longer blade and a handle fixed to the top of the blade. The handle and blade form an obtuse angle, making it easy to uproot the plant and its roots.

[0003] When using conventional digging tools, the blade is usually inserted into the soil first, and then the handle is turned to pull the plant and its roots upwards. Because different plant species have vastly different root systems, the depth of the shovel insertion needs to be adjusted according to the specific plant to ensure that the plant, roots, and attached soil can be removed intact. However, in practice, because the soil and the edge of the digging opening are used as a lever fulcrum for the shovel, and this lever fulcrum is a flexible structure, the shovel (shovel head) tends to sink when digging, making it difficult to uproot the plant in one go. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a plant digger capable of reducing soil erosion, comprising a shovel and a rod. A stepping part is fixedly installed on the top of the shovel, and a connecting seat is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the stepping part. The rod is hinged to the shovel via the connecting seat, and a handle is fixedly installed at the top of the rod. Side plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the shovel, and several through holes are provided inside the side plates. Supports that can serve as adjustable lever fulcrums are provided on both sides of the shovel.

[0005] As an optimization, the connecting seat has a helical threaded cylinder with an obtuse angle between it and the shovel part. A stud is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rod part, and the stud is threaded inside the helical threaded cylinder. By turning the helical threaded cylinder, it can rotate inside the stud, which facilitates disassembly and installation.

[0006] As an optimization, a pad is provided on the outer side of the handle. The outer side of the pad has uneven protrusions, which increases the friction of the hand grip and prevents the hand from slipping due to sweat.

[0007] As an optimization, the support includes a support rod inserted into a through hole, a base fixedly installed at the bottom end of the support rod, and a baffle fixedly installed on the outer side of one top end of the support rod.

[0008] As an optimization, the support rod is L-shaped and the base is pyramidal. By inserting the support rod into different through holes, the position of the lever fulcrum can be adjusted. Furthermore, the base increases the contact area between the lever fulcrum and the ground, thereby improving stability.

[0009] As an optimization, the outer diameter of the base is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole, and the base blocks the outside of the side plate.

[0010] As an optimization, the connecting seat also has a straight threaded cylinder that coincides with the central axis of the shovel. By turning the rod, it can be removed from the oblique threaded cylinder and screwed into the straight threaded cylinder, which will reassemble it into a commonly used straight shovel, making it convenient for other digging operations.

[0011] Beneficial effects: This utility model, by providing support members on both sides of the shovel that can serve as adjustable lever fulcrums, not only achieves a rigid lever fulcrum at the bottom of the shovel, making it less prone to sinking when digging plants, thus facilitating the one-time uprooting of plants, but also making it suitable for rapid digging of different types of plants; in use, by placing the bottom edge of the shovel within the sampling line range, and then pressing down on the foot pedal, the shovel is inserted into the soil. Then, the support rod is inserted into the corresponding through hole according to the depth of the shovel's insertion into the soil, and then... The rotating rod can be used as a lever fulcrum to completely excavate the plant along with its roots. This invention can flexibly adjust the position of the lever fulcrum according to the different root systems of the plant, making it convenient to excavate the plant. In this invention, rotating the rod counterclockwise will cause the stud to unscrew from the inclined threaded cylinder. Then, aligning the stud with the straight threaded cylinder and rotating clockwise will cause the stud to be screwed into the straight threaded cylinder. This will install the rod onto the straight threaded cylinder, keeping it collinear with the axis of the shovel, thus assembling it into a straight shovel, which is convenient for other excavation operations and improves practicality.

[0017] 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.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-2 A plant digger that can reduce soil erosion includes a shovel 1 and a rod 2. A foot pedal 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the shovel 1, and a connecting seat 4 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the foot pedal 3. The rod 2 is hinged to the shovel 1 through the connecting seat 4. A handle 5 is fixedly installed at the top of the rod 2. A sleeve 11 is fitted on the outside of the handle 5. The outer side of the sleeve 11 is provided with uneven protrusions. The sleeve 11 increases the friction of the hand grip and prevents the hand from slipping due to sweat. Side plates 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the shovel 1. Several through holes 7 are opened in the interior of the side plates 6. Support members 8 that can be used as adjustable lever fulcrums are provided on both sides of the shovel 1.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-2 The connecting seat 4 has a threaded cylinder 9 with an obtuse angle between it and the shovel part 1. A stud 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rod part 2, and the stud 10 is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded cylinder 9. The threaded cylinder 9 can be rotated inside the stud 10 by turning it, which facilitates disassembly and installation.

[0020] Please see Figure 3 The support member 8 includes a support rod 12 that is movably inserted into the through hole 7. The shovel part 1 can rotate around the support rod 12. The support rod 12 is L-shaped. A base 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the support rod 12. The base 13 is pyramidal. By inserting the support rod 12 into different through holes 7, the position of the lever fulcrum can be adjusted. With the help of the base 13, the contact area between the lever fulcrum and the ground is increased, thus improving stability.

[0021] Please see Figure 3 A baffle 14 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the top end of the support rod 12. The outer diameter of the base 13 is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 7. The base 13 blocks the outside of the side plate 6.

[0022] Please see Figure 4 The connecting seat 4 also has a straight threaded cylinder 15 that coincides with the central axis of the shovel part 1. By turning the rod part 2, it can be removed from the oblique threaded cylinder 9 and screwed into the straight threaded cylinder 15, which will be reassembled into a commonly used straight shovel for easy access to other digging operations.

[0023] When using the device, first screw the stud 10 into the inclined threaded cylinder 9 to complete the assembly of the excavator. Then, select the plant root system to be sampled and define the sampling range according to the type of plant root system. Next, place the bottom edge of the shovel 1 within the sampling line range and adjust the digging angle according to the root characteristics. Then, step on the foot pedal 3 and press down. Then, insert the support rod 12 into the corresponding through hole 7 according to the depth of the shovel 1 in the soil. Then, turn the rod 2 and use the support rod 12 as a lever fulcrum to lift the shovel 1 upward, thus excavating the plant and its roots completely. When digging a pit, simply turn the rod 2 to remove the stud 10 from the inclined threaded cylinder 9 and screw the stud 10 into the straight threaded cylinder 15. At this point, as shown in the connecting seat 4, the straight shovel for digging pits is assembled, facilitating other digging operations.

[0024] In this design, by placing the bottom edge of the shovel 1 within the sampling line area and then pressing down on the foot pedal 3, the shovel 1 can be inserted into the soil. Next, the support rod 12 is inserted into the corresponding through hole 7 according to the depth of the shovel 1. Turning the rod 2 allows the plant, along with its roots, to be completely excavated using the support rod 12 as a lever fulcrum. This allows for flexible adjustment of the lever fulcrum position based on the different root systems of the plants, facilitating plant excavation. Rotating the rod 2 counterclockwise causes the stud 10 to unscrew from the inclined threaded cylinder 9. Then, aligning the stud 10 with the straight threaded cylinder 15 and rotating it clockwise causes the stud 10 to be screwed into the straight threaded cylinder 15. This installs the rod 2 onto the straight threaded cylinder 15, ensuring it is collinear with the axis of the shovel 1, thus assembling a straight shovel for convenient digging operations and improved practicality.

[0025] This utility model not only achieves the solution of forming a rigid lever fulcrum at the bottom of the shovel 1 by setting support members 8 on both sides of the shovel 1, which can serve as adjustable lever fulcrums, making it easier to pull up the plant with its roots in one go, but also makes it suitable for quickly digging up different types of plants.
