Description

Root-inducing grafting cultivation trough Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of flower grafting, and in particular to a root-inducing grafting cultivation trough. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of floriculture, as people's demands for flower yield, quality, and planting efficiency continue to increase, cultivation techniques are also constantly developing and innovating. Grafting, as an important agricultural technique, can comprehensively utilize the superior characteristics of different plants, enhance plant resistance, and improve fruit quality, and has been widely used in modern floriculture production. Through grafting, scions with excellent traits can be grafted onto rootstocks with strong adaptability, thereby cultivating more superior plants, which is of great significance for promoting the sustainable development of agriculture.

[0003] In traditional plant grafting cultivation, simple methods such as clips or tape are typically used to secure the graft union. While this method is relatively simple, it's difficult to precisely control the fixation effect. As for the root system's growth environment, ordinary planting troughs are often used, simply filled with soil or substrate for root development. In such troughs, roots spread freely, but due to limited space in container cultivation (potted / troughed plants), roots easily clump together ("pot binding effect"), leading to a decrease in water / nutrient absorption efficiency of over 30%.

[0004] However, traditional methods of fixing plants during grafting and ordinary planting troughs have significant drawbacks. Ordinary clips or tape can only provide basic fixation and cannot adapt to the needs of different plant varieties and growth stages. This can easily lead to insecure fixation or excessive compression of the grafting site, affecting the survival rate of the graft and the plant's subsequent growth. Ordinary planting troughs cannot flexibly adjust the growth space according to the growth characteristics of the plant's root system, preventing the roots from growing in the ideal direction. This may result in poor root development, which in turn affects the plant's absorption of nutrients and water, ultimately limiting the plant's growth potential and overall yield. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to effectively fix the grafting site of the plant and control the directional growth of the root system, this application provides a root-inducing grafting cultivation trough.

[0006] The root-inducing grafting cultivation trough provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A root-inducing grafting cultivation trough includes a trough body, wherein the trough body has a grafting fixing area in the upper layer and a root-inducing area in the lower layer. The grafting fixing area is equipped with a grafting clip for fixing the grafting part of the plant. The grafting fixing area can move relative to the trough body to adjust its height. The root-inducing area is provided with multiple movable partitions, and the multiple movable partitions form a planting space. The movable partitions can move relative to the trough body to adjust the size of the planting space in the longitudinal or transverse direction, thereby controlling the directional growth of the roots.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the trough is divided into upper and lower grafting fixation areas and root induction areas, which can meet the needs of plant grafting fixation and root growth respectively; the grafting clip can fix the grafting part of the plant, ensuring the stable grafting operation, and the grafting fixation area can move relative to the trough to adjust its own height, so that it can automatically adjust with the plant growth and ensure effective fixation of the grafted plant; the movable partition can move to adjust the size of the planting space, thereby controlling the directional growth of the root system.

[0009] Optionally, the movable partition is provided with an adjusting screw on the side near the tank body, the adjusting screw being threaded through the tank body, and the movable partition and the tank body being slidably connected by a guide rod.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the screw threaded connection between the adjusting screw and the trough can move the movable partition relative to the trough, thereby adjusting the size of the planting space in the longitudinal or transverse direction, thus controlling the directional growth of the root system. When the plant is in the seedling stage, the spacing between the movable partitions is reduced, which restricts the lateral expansion of the root system and forces the main root to grow deep downward. When the plant is in the growth or maturity stage, the spacing between the movable partitions can be expanded to allow lateral root division and increase the absorption area.

[0011] Optionally, the grafting fixing area includes a grafting fixing frame and a locking assembly. The grafting fixing frame can move relative to the groove to adjust its height. The locking assembly is disposed between the grafting fixing frame and the grafting clip to realize a detachable connection between the grafting fixing frame and the grafting clip.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the grafting fixing frame and the grafting clip can be detachably connected through the locking component, which facilitates the replacement of the grafting clip.

[0013] Optionally, the locking assembly includes a magnetic base and a magnetic block. The magnetic base is disposed inside the grafting fixing frame, and the magnetic block is disposed on the grafting clamp. The magnetic base and the magnetic block are magnetically connected.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking component uses a magnetic base and a magnetic block for magnetic connection, which realizes the detachable connection between the grafting fixing frame and the grafting clip, making it convenient to replace or maintain the grafting clip.

[0015] Optionally, the grafting fixation frame is made of silicone or TPU flexible material.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the grafting fixing frame is made of flexible silicone or TPU material, which can improve the comfort and fit during use and avoid damage to the plant.

[0017] Optionally, a sliding rod is slidably connected between the grafting fixing frame and the groove, and the groove is provided with fasteners for locking the position of the sliding rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the grafting fixing frame of the cultivation trough can be flexibly moved relative to the trough body via the sliding rod to adjust the height. At the same time, the fastener can lock the position of the sliding rod to ensure that the grafting fixing frame remains stable after the height is adjusted, thus adapting to the fixed height requirements of different plants during grafting.

[0019] Optionally, the movable partition is provided with a guide plate on the side near the center of the tank, and the guide plate is inclined downward.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, plant roots can be guided to grow downwards, achieving more precise directional root growth.

[0021] Optionally, the angle between the guide plate surface and the vertical plane is 15°-45°.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solutions, the root system can be better guided to grow in a specific direction.

[0023] Optionally, the inner surface of the movable partition is provided with dense protrusions.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the root system comes into contact with dense protrusions, a mechanical stress signal is generated, which stimulates the root system to secrete auxin (such as IAA) to promote elongation.

[0025] Optionally, the bottom of the tank is provided with ventilation holes.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, and by opening ventilation holes at the bottom of the tank, the air permeability of the tank can be enhanced, which is conducive to the respiration and growth of plant roots, while ensuring that there is no water accumulation in the root zone.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. The grafting clips are used to fix the grafting site of the plant. The grafting fixing frame is height-adjustable and the grafting clips are detachable, which can adapt to the needs of different plant varieties and growth stages, improve the accuracy and adaptability of the grafting site fixation, and improve the grafting survival rate and the quality of plant growth in the later stage.

[0029] 2. The movable partition can move relative to the trough to adjust the size of the planting space, which can effectively control the growth direction and space of the plant roots, avoid disordered root growth, entanglement or uneven distribution, and make the roots grow in the ideal direction.

[0030] 3. The movable partitions allow for flexible adjustment of the planting space according to the growth characteristics of plant roots, promoting healthy root development, enhancing the plant's ability to absorb nutrients and water, tapping into the plant's growth potential, and increasing overall yield.

[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1-2. The described embodiments are only possible technical implementations of this utility model, but are not limited thereto. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are also within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0036] This application mainly adopts a cultivation trough that combines grafting fixation and root induction, which achieves the effect of improving the grafting survival rate and root growth quality of plants. The following is a further detailed description of this application.

[0037] The root-inducing grafting cultivation trough provided in this application embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, includes a trough body 1, a grafting fixation area 2, and a root-inducing area 3. The grafting fixation area 2 is located in the upper layer of the trough body 1, and the root-inducing area 3 is located in the lower layer of the trough body 1. The two work together to effectively fix the grafting site of the plant and control the directional growth of the roots, thereby improving the survival rate and quality of the grafted plant cultivation.

[0038] Specifically, the grafting fixation area 2 is equipped with a grafting clip 21, which is used to fix the grafting site of the plant. The grafting clip 21 is usually made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, such as plastic or metal alloy. Plastic grafting clips 21 are lightweight, low in cost, and have good flexibility, making them less likely to cause excessive pressure on the grafting site; metal alloy grafting clips 21 are more robust and durable, providing a more stable fixing force. In practical applications, the appropriate material of the grafting clip 21 can be selected according to the characteristics of different plants and grafting requirements. The grafting clip 21 is generally clip-shaped, and its opening size can be adjusted according to the thickness of the grafting site to ensure a tight clamping effect.

[0039] The grafting fixing area 2 also includes a grafting fixing frame 22 and a locking assembly 23. The grafting fixing frame 22 can move relative to the groove 1 to adjust its height, allowing it to adapt to plants at different growth stages and heights. The grafting fixing frame 22 is made of porous silicone or TPU flexible material, which has good flexibility and elasticity, will not harm the plant, and can provide some support. Besides silicone and TPU flexible materials, some new flexible polymer materials can also be considered, as long as they have similar properties. The grafting fixing frame 22 has a through-hole in its center to guide the grafted plant to grow upwards.

[0040] The grafting fixing frame 22 is slidably connected to the groove 1 by a sliding rod 24. The sliding rod 24 provides guidance for the movement of the grafting fixing frame 22, ensuring its stability and accuracy. The groove 1 is provided with fasteners 25 for locking the position of the sliding rod 24. The fasteners 25 can be bolts or nuts, etc. When the grafting fixing frame 22 is adjusted to a suitable height, the position of the sliding rod 24 can be fixed by tightening the fasteners 25, thereby keeping the grafting fixing frame 22 at that height.

[0041] After grafting for a period of time, the fasteners 25 are loosened. As the grafted plant grows, the grafting support 22 rises along with the plant, thus stabilizing it. To ensure the smooth lifting of the grafting support 22, the sliding rod 24 is also made of lightweight material.

[0042] Referring to Figure 2, the locking component 23 is disposed between the grafting fixing frame 22 and the grafting clip 21 to achieve a detachable connection between the grafting fixing frame 22 and the grafting clip 21. Optionally, the locking component 23 includes a magnetic base 231 and a magnetic block 232. The magnetic base 231 is disposed inside the grafting fixing frame 22, and the magnetic block 232 is disposed on the grafting clip 21. The magnetic base 231 and the magnetic block 232 are magnetically connected. This magnetic connection method is convenient and quick, facilitating the installation and removal of the grafting clip 21 while ensuring the stability of the connection. In addition to magnetic connection, snap-fit ​​connection or other methods can also be used, as long as the detachable connection function can be achieved. The grafting clip 21 is connected to the grafting fixing frame 22 through the locking component 23, allowing the grafting clip 21 to adjust its height together with the grafting fixing frame 22, thereby better fixing the grafting site of the plant.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the root induction zone 3 is provided with a plurality of movable partitions 4, and a planting space 5 is formed between the plurality of movable partitions 4. The movable partitions 4 can move relative to the trough 1 to adjust the size of the planting space 5 in the longitudinal or transverse direction, thereby controlling the directional growth of the root system.

[0044] When the plant is in the seedling stage, the spacing of the movable partition 4 is reduced to restrict the lateral expansion of the root system and force the taproot to grow deep downwards. When the plant is in the growth or maturity stage, the spacing of the movable partition 4 can be expanded to allow lateral roots to grow and increase the absorption area.

[0045] Specifically, an adjusting screw 41 is provided on the side of the movable partition 4 near the trough 1. The adjusting screw 41 is threaded through the trough 1, and the movable partition 4 and the trough 1 are slidably connected via a guide rod 42. The adjusting screw 41 is threaded to the trough 1 and rotatably connected to the movable partition 4. The function of the adjusting screw 41 is to adjust the position of the movable partition 4. When the adjusting screw 41 is rotated, due to the action of the thread, the movable partition 4 will move relative to the trough 1 along the guide rod 42, thereby changing the size of the planting space 5. The guide rod 42 ensures the smoothness and straightness of the movement of the movable partition 4. The adjusting screw 41 can be a common threaded rod, or a more precise screw such as a ball screw can be used to improve the adjustment accuracy. The movable partition 4 can be made of plastic or wood. Plastic partitions are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, while wooden partitions have better air permeability.

[0046] In this embodiment, the movable partition 4 is composed of semi-circular partitions, and the two movable partitions 4 form a planting space 5. At the same time, there is also a movable margin between the movable partition 4 and the inner wall of the trough 1. Even if the trough 1 is filled with planting soil, the movable partition 4 can be driven to move the planting soil by adjusting the screw 41, thereby adjusting the size of the planting space 5.

[0047] In another embodiment, a root guide plate 6 is provided on the side of the movable partition 4 near the center of the groove 1. The root guide plate 6 is inclined downwards and locked after the angle is adjusted. The angle between the surface of the root guide plate 6 and the vertical surface is 15°-45°. This angle range can effectively guide the plant roots to grow downwards and can also adapt to the differentiated guidance of taproot systems (such as roses) and fibrous root systems (such as grasses). The root guide plate 6 can be made of plastic or thin metal sheet, with its surface coated with a slow-release coating containing naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) or etched with micron-level grooves (50-100μm deep) to guide the directional growth of root tips through chemical / physical dual stimulation.

[0048] In one embodiment, the inner surface of the movable partition 4 is provided with dense protrusions (not shown in the figure). These protrusions can stimulate the growth of plant roots, making them more developed. The shape of the protrusions can be circular, square, or conical, etc., and their size and spacing can also be adjusted according to the growth characteristics of different plant roots.

[0049] In addition, ventilation holes 7 are provided at the bottom of the trough 1. The function of ventilation holes 7 is to ensure air circulation within the trough 1 and provide sufficient oxygen for the plant roots. The size and number of ventilation holes 7 can be determined according to the size of the trough 1 and the needs of the plants. The placement of ventilation holes 7 also ensures that there is no water accumulation in the root zone.

[0050] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: the grafting clamp 21 and grafting fixing frame 22 in the grafting fixing area 2 are used to stably fix the grafting site of the plant, and the height of the grafting fixing frame 22 can be adjusted according to the plant growth. The size of the planting space 5 is adjusted by the movable partition 4 in the root induction area 3, and the directional growth of the roots is controlled by the root guide plate 6 and the protrusions on the inner surface of the movable partition 4. The ventilation holes 7 at the bottom of the trough 1 ensure the oxygen supply required for root growth. The entire cultivation trough improves the survival rate and quality of grafted plant cultivation, overcomes the problems of weak grafting and disordered root growth in traditional cultivation methods, and provides a more favorable environment for plant growth.

[0051] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
