[0030] Traditional tobacco topping techniques typically require the use of topping tools followed by the injection of bud-suppressing liquid using a bud-suppressing tool. This necessitates frequent tool switching, significantly reducing efficiency. This application provides a topping and bud-suppressing device that eliminates the need for frequent tool switching, thereby improving work efficiency and facilitating application and promotion.
[0031] Specifically, referring to Figure 1, one embodiment of this application provides a topping and bud-suppressing device 1, which may include a housing 100 and a topping and bud-suppressing device 200. Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the topping and bud-suppressing device 200 includes a housing 210 and a cutter 220. The housing 210 is provided with a groove 211, and the cutter 220 is slidably disposed within the groove 211. The cutter 220 includes a cutting section 221 and a liquid guiding section 222 connected to each other. As shown in Figure 4, the housing 100 is provided with a first cavity 100a, which can be used to contain bud-suppressing liquid. The cutting section 221 is provided with a liquid outlet 221a, and the liquid guiding section 222 communicates with the liquid outlet 221a and the first cavity 100a. The cutter 220 can slide along the groove 211 until the cutting section 221 is exposed relative to the housing 210.
[0032] When the above-mentioned topping and bud-suppressing device 1 is in use, the cutter 220 can slide out along the slide groove 211, so that the cutting part 221 can be exposed relative to the housing 210 for topping and cutting operations; at the same time, since the cutting part 221 is provided with a liquid outlet hole 221a, the liquid outlet hole 221a is connected to the first cavity 100a of the box 100, so that the bud-suppressing liquid contained in the first cavity 100a can flow to the liquid outlet hole 221a, and thus topping and bud-suppressing operations can be performed simultaneously without switching tools, which helps to improve work efficiency and facilitates application and promotion.
[0033] Understandably, the cutting part 221 of the cutter 220 can slide along the groove 211 to expose the housing 210 or be hidden in the housing 210. The cutting part 221 is only exposed in the housing 210 when it is needed for topping or bud suppression operations, thus improving the safety of using the topping and bud suppression device 1.
[0034] Optionally, the liquid guiding part 222 may be implemented as a guide rod with a through hole, but not limited to.
[0035] Optionally, at least two liquid outlet holes 221a may be provided and spaced apart on the cutting part 221, which helps to increase the liquid output.
[0036] Optionally, referring to Figure 4, the bud-suppressing device 1 may include a liquid-conducting pump 300, a power source 400, and a pipe 500. The liquid-conducting pump 300 and the power source 400 are housed within the housing 100. The power source 400 is connected to the liquid-conducting pump 300 to provide energy to it. The liquid-conducting section 222 is connected to the liquid-conducting pump 300 via the pipe 500, and the liquid-conducting pump 300 is used to transport liquid placed in the first cavity 100a to the liquid-conducting section 222. Understandably, the liquid-conducting pump 300 can pressurize the liquid in the first cavity 100a, thus helping to improve the smoothness of liquid discharge.
[0037] Optionally, the power source 400 may be implemented as a power device such as a battery. Optionally, the housing 100 may be provided with a charging port that is connected to the power source, thus facilitating charging by the user.
[0038] Optionally, the pipe 500 may be equipped with a switch (not shown) for controlling the flow or blockage of the liquid.
[0039] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4, the housing 100 may be provided with a third cavity 100c, and the liquid pump 300 and the power source 400 may be located in the third cavity 100c. This helps to optimize the structural layout of the topping and bud-suppressing device 1 and improve the compactness of the structural layout.
[0040] Optionally, referring back to Figure 3, the end of the housing 210 away from the cutting part 221 is provided with a perforation 210a, and the pipe 500 passes through the perforation 210a, so that the pipe 500 can move back and forth in the perforation 210a, and the liquid guiding part 222 can communicate with the first cavity of the box 100 through the pipe 500 and the perforation 210a.
[0041] Optionally, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the housing 210 may include a housing body 201 and a hook 202. The hook 202 is connected to one end of the housing body 201. Referring to Figure 2, the hook 202 bends and extends in a predetermined direction to its end, forming a notch 202a at a distance from the housing 210. This notch 202a is used for the tobacco plant to pass through, so that the tobacco plant can be locked and confined within the space enclosed by the hook 202 and the housing body 201. Then, after the cutting part 221 extends out of the housing 210, it can cut and top the tobacco plant within the aforementioned enclosed space, which helps to improve the ease of operation of the topping operation.
[0042] In addition, the liquid outlet 221a can be set on one side of the cutting part 221 along the thickness direction, so that while the cutting part 221 is cutting and topping the tobacco, the bud-suppressing liquid can flow out along the aforementioned thickness direction and flow down according to the height of the tobacco plant to achieve the bud-suppressing operation.
[0043] Optionally, the hook portion 202 is provided with a protective groove 202b, and the cutter 220 can slide along the slide groove 211 to at least a portion of the cutting portion 221 be received in the protective groove 202b, which helps to protect the structure of the cutting portion 221.
[0044] Preferably, the protective groove 202b can be configured to match the shape of the cutting part 221, thereby improving the adaptability between the cutting part 221 and the protective groove 202b. For example, the protective groove 202b can be arc-shaped with a first curvature, and the cutting part 221 has a blade with a second curvature, with the first curvature and the second curvature matching, so that the blade of the cutting part 221 is completely received and fitted within the protective groove 202b. Furthermore, by configuring the protective groove 202b to match the shape of the cutting part 221, the adaptability between the cutting part 221 and the protective groove 202b can be improved, thereby enhancing the top-cutting effect.
[0045] Optionally, referring to Figure 3, the slide 211 may include a first sliding section 2111 and a second sliding section 2112. The cutter 220 includes a slider 223 and an elastic component 224. The slider 223 is connected to the liquid guiding part 222 and is slidably engaged with the first sliding section 2111. The elastic component 224 is connected to the liquid guiding part 222 and is disposed on the second sliding section 2112.
[0046] Specifically, the slider 223 is used for the user to abut and push, and the elastic component 224 is used to reset the liquid guiding part 222.
[0047] More specifically, the cutting part 221 can remain concealed within the housing 210 under the limiting action of the elastic component 224. When the user pushes the slider 223, it can move the liquid guiding part 222 and the cutting part 221, thereby exposing the cutting part 221 relative to the housing 210 for cutting and topping operations. At the same time, the liquid outlet hole 221a of the cutting part 221 is also exposed relative to the housing 210 for bud suppression operations, thus enabling the rapid completion of topping and bud suppression operations on a tobacco plant.
[0048] Understandably, after the topping and bud suppression operation of a tobacco plant is completed, the user releases the slider 223, and the liquid guiding part 222 can be reset and retracted under the elastic action of the elastic component 224, so that the cutting part 221 is hidden in the housing 210. This facilitates the topping and bud suppression operation of the next tobacco plant and improves the work efficiency.
[0049] Optionally, the slider 223 may be fixedly connected to the liquid guiding part 222, such as by welding, snap-fitting, or integral molding.
[0050] Optionally, referring to Figure 3, the elastic component 224 may include a spring 2241 and a pressure block 2242. The second sliding section 2112 has a connecting end face 2112a. One end of the spring 2241 is connected to the connecting end face 2112a, and the other end of the spring 2241 is connected to the pressure block 2242. Both the spring 2241 and the pressure block 2242 are sleeved on the liquid guiding part 222, and the pressure block 2242 is fixedly connected to the liquid guiding part 222. The slider 223 is used to drive the liquid guiding part 222 to move, so that the pressure block 2242 can compress the spring 2241 and complete the top cutting operation. Furthermore, the pressure block 2242 can drive the liquid guiding part 222 to reset under the elastic reaction force of the spring 2241, thus realizing the reciprocating cutting and top cutting operation function of the cutting part 221. The structure is simple and reliable, and the operation is convenient.
[0051] Optionally, referring to Figure 3, the housing 210 may be provided with a mounting body 212. As shown in Figure 1, the box 100 may be provided with a mounting part 110. The housing 210 can be detachably mounted to the mounting part 110 through the mounting body 212, which facilitates the placement and fixation of the bud suppressor 200.
[0052] Optionally, the mounting body 212 may be implemented as a hook, but not limited to, and the mounting part 110 may be implemented as a hook ring, and the hook may be attached to the hook ring. Of course, the mounting body 212 and the mounting part 110 may also fall within the protection scope of this application through other means such as snap-fit, which will not be elaborated here.
[0053] Optionally, referring to Figure 4, the box 100 may be provided with a second cavity 100b. The box 100 includes a collection box 120, which is detachably installed in the second cavity 100b. The collection box 120 is used to collect tobacco buds after the tobacco plants have been topped, which helps to improve the ease of collecting tobacco buds.
[0054] Specifically, the collection box 120 is detachably installed in the second cavity 100b. This facilitates timely replacement of the collection box 120, preventing the hassle of transporting and recycling the entire device once the collection box 120 is full, thus improving operational efficiency. For example, the user can replace the collection box 120 after it is full of tobacco buds, allowing for centralized recycling of all collection boxes 120 after the entire topping and bud suppression process is completed, further enhancing operational efficiency.
[0055] Optionally, the collection box 120 may be provided with a handle, which facilitates the disassembly and lifting and transport of the collection box 120.
[0056] Optionally, referring to Figure 1, the topping and bud-suppressing device 1 may be equipped with a carrying strap 600, which is connected to the housing 100. The carrying strap 600 is used for users to carry the work, which helps to improve work efficiency.
[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0058] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
