Description

Multi-functional garden tools Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garden maintenance products, specifically to a convenient and multifunctional garden tool. Background Technology

[0002] Garden tools are equipment used for the maintenance of green landscapes. They are mechanized tools used to maintain lawns, hedges, and protect flowers, grasses, and trees, replacing most manual labor. In routine garden restoration, soil maintenance is frequently required. This may involve removing soil from a specific location, or removing a section of lawn and replacing it with healthier soil from another part of the same lawn or elsewhere.

[0003] Currently, transplanting tools are commonly used for ground transplanting operations, especially for transplanting or removing soil from a specific location. Existing tools mainly consist of shovels or transplanting tubes. Shovels are inconvenient to use and have poor practicality. Existing transplanting tubes suffer from difficulties in inserting into the soil and shallow depths. Furthermore, soil may detach when pulled out, making it impossible to remove the soil from the tube. Therefore, there is a need for a convenient and efficient multi-functional gardening tool. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To at least partially address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the main objective of this utility model is to provide a convenient and multifunctional garden tool.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned main objectives, this utility model discloses a multi-functional garden tool, including a handheld pole, an installation tube, and a transplanting tube, wherein the installation tube and the transplanting tube are connected in sequence to the lower end of the handheld pole and extend along the length of the handheld pole;

[0006] It also includes a push plate assembly, which includes a push plate, a plunger rod and a slider. The push plate is slidably disposed inside the transplanting cylinder. The plunger rod is installed on the push plate and passes through the transplanting cylinder and extends upward into the interior of the mounting cylinder. The outer wall of the mounting cylinder is provided with a groove extending along its length. The slider is slidably disposed in the groove and connected to the plunger rod.

[0007] The transplanting tube has multiple independent cutting edges at its lower edge away from the installation tube. These cutting edges are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the transplanting tube. When the cutting edges are inserted into the soil, the push plate is squeezed and moves upward to allow the soil to enter the interior of the transplanting tube.

[0008] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the inner surface of the cutting edge is set to be inclined inward so that the bottom opening of the transplant tube is formed into a constricted shape.

[0009] According to a specific embodiment of this utility model, the included angle between the inner surface of the cutting edge and the length direction of the transplanting cylinder is set to be less than 5°.

[0010] According to a specific embodiment of this utility model, the angle between the inner surface of the cutting edge and the length direction of the transplanting cylinder is 1°-2°.

[0011] According to a specific embodiment of this utility model, the length of the cutting edge is set to be less than 2cm.

[0012] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the mounting cylinder is provided with a plurality of mounting holes spaced vertically apart and a fixing member that can be removably installed into the mounting holes; wherein, when the push plate moves upward, the fixing member abuts against the plunger rod to limit the push plate.

[0013] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a first foot pedal, which is mounted on the mounting cylinder and / or the transplanting cylinder.

[0014] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the push plate assembly further includes a second foot pedal, which is disposed on the slider.

[0015] According to a specific embodiment of this utility model, the handheld rod, the mounting tube, and the transplanting tube are coaxially arranged.

[0016] According to a specific embodiment of this utility model, the upper end of the handheld lever is provided with an operating handle.

[0017] This utility model has the following advantages: It provides a multi-functional garden tool with multiple independent cutting edges on the lower edge of the transplanting tube away from the installation tube, making it easier to insert into the soil and penetrate the ground / lawn to the desired depth during use; at the same time, when the cutting edges are inserted into the soil, the push plate is squeezed and moves upward to allow the soil to enter the interior of the transplanting tube. Then, the downward movement of the slider drives the push plate to slide and push out the soil located in the transplanting tube, thus completing the removal of the soil. The whole process has the advantages of simple operation and strong practicality.

[0018] In addition, the inner surface of the cutting edge is designed to be inclined inward, so that the bottom opening of the transplanting tube is formed into a constricted shape. This is beneficial to the fact that when the cutting edge and the transplanting tube are pulled out of the soil, the transplanted soil can be kept inside the transplanting tube and will not easily fall out.

[0019] To more clearly illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in conjunction with embodiments in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, it should be understood that the following embodiments and detailed description are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1-3, the multi-functional garden tool of the embodiment includes a handheld handle 10, a mounting cylinder 20, a transplanting cylinder 30, and a pusher assembly 40. The mounting cylinder 20 is located at the lower end of the handheld handle 10. The mounting cylinder 20 and the transplanting cylinder 30 are sequentially connected to the lower end of the handheld handle 10 and extend along the length of the handheld handle 10. The three are preferably coaxially arranged. Specifically, the handheld handle 10 is detachable. When not in use, the handheld handle 10 can be separated from the mounting cylinder 20 for easy storage.

[0029] The transplanting cylinder 30 has an internal receiving channel 31 for receiving soil or dirt. Multiple independent cutting edges 32 are provided on the lower edge of the transplanting cylinder 30 away from the mounting cylinder 20, spaced apart circumferentially. Notches 33 are formed between adjacent cutting edges 32. When the cutting edges 32 and the transplanting cylinder 30 are inserted into the soil to a specified depth, rotating the handle 10 rotates the transplanting cylinder 30, allowing it to cut the soil through the cutting edges 32, thus enhancing the cutting effect and facilitating the separation and removal of soil portions. Preferably, the upper end of the handle 10 has an operating handle 11 to improve ease of use.

[0030] Furthermore, the cutting edge 32 and the body of the transplanting cylinder 30 are integrally formed, for example, by metal stamping. The inner surface of the cutting edge 32 is inclined inwards, causing the bottom opening of the transplanting cylinder 30 to form a constricted shape. The angle between the inner surface of the cutting edge 32 and the length direction of the transplanting cylinder 30 is preferably less than 5°, specifically, for example, 2°, 3°, or 1°. In this embodiment, the angle between the inner surface of the cutting edge 32 and the length direction of the transplanting cylinder 30 is extremely small, as shown in Figure 7. This angle has virtually no impact on the insertion of the cutting edge 32, or its impact is negligible, and it also provides a certain degree of anti-detachment effect on the soil inside the transplanting cylinder 30.

[0031] For example, the inner diameter of the transplant tube 30 is preferably around 10cm, such as 12cm, 15cm, etc., and the length of the transplant tube 30 is preferably around 20cm, such as 18cm, 23cm, etc., but this embodiment is not limited to these values; correspondingly, the length of the cutting edge 32 is set to be less than 2cm, specifically for example, 1cm, 1.5cm, etc.

[0032] In this embodiment, the mounting cylinder 20 and / or the transplanting cylinder 30 may also be provided with a first foot pedal 50, which is used to more easily insert the transplanting cylinder 30 into the soil to a specified depth during use. As shown in Figures 4-5, the first foot pedal 50 is preferably located between the mounting cylinder 20 and the transplanting cylinder 30, and specifically, the three are connected by welding. Preferably, the first foot pedal 50 is elongated and has two foot pedal portions 51 protruding outward from opposite sides of the mounting cylinder 20, which has the advantage of convenient use.

[0033] As shown in Figures 3-6, the push plate assembly 40 includes a push plate 41, a plunger rod 42, and a slider 43. The push plate 41 is slidably disposed inside the transplanting cylinder 30. The plunger rod 42 is mounted on the push plate 41 and passes through the transplanting cylinder 30 and the first foot pedal 50, extending upward into the interior of the mounting cylinder 20. The outer wall of the mounting cylinder 20 is provided with a groove 21 extending along its length. The slider 43 is slidably disposed in the groove 21 and connected to the plunger rod 42. When the cutting edge 32 is inserted into the soil, the push plate 41 is squeezed and moves upward to allow the soil to enter the interior of the transplanting cylinder 30.

[0034] Furthermore, the mounting cylinder 20 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 22 spaced vertically apart and a fixing member 23 removably installed into the mounting holes 22. The mounting holes 22 are, for example, threaded holes, and the fixing member 23 is, for example, a bolt. When the push plate 41 moves upward, the fixing member 23 abuts against the top of the plunger rod 42 to limit the push plate 41, that is, the push plate 41 is restricted by the fixing member 23 and cannot move upward further. For example, there are three mounting holes 22 and one fixing member 23. In use, the fixing member 23 is installed into the mounting hole 22 at the corresponding height position as needed to adjust the insertion depth of the cutting edge 32.

[0035] To facilitate the ejection of soil from the transplanting tube 30, the pusher assembly 40 also includes a second foot pedal 44. The second foot pedal 44 is mounted on the slider 43 and preferably extends outward. After the soil is removed from the ground layer, pressing or stepping on the second foot pedal 44 can push the pusher plate 41 downward via the plunger rod 42 to quickly eject the transplanting soil plug pulled out from the ground layer. This operation is very time-saving and labor-saving.

[0036] The multi-functional gardening tool in the embodiment can be applied to a variety of scenarios. For example, it can be used to remove soil plugs without pulling out the roots in the soil plugs, so it can be used for other transplanting applications in addition to being used as a weeding tool. It can also be used as a lawn maintenance tool, which can be used to simply remove soil plugs from the ground to allow the lawn to breathe. It can also be used to remove soil from a deteriorated part of the lawn and then replace the removed soil plugs with healthier soil transferred from another part of the same lawn or other places.

[0037] Although the present invention has been described above through embodiments, the above embodiments are only used to exemplarily describe possible implementations of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the present invention should also be covered by the scope of protection defined by the claims of the present invention.
