Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of jujube seedling harvesting technology, specifically a jujube seedling harvesting device. Background Technology
[0002] Sour jujube is an important plant with both medicinal and edible properties. The fruit and seeds (sour jujube kernels) of sour jujube have high medicinal value. At the same time, sour jujube has a well-developed root system and is drought-resistant and tolerant of poor soil, and is often used for ecological restoration and the construction of economic forests.
[0003] In the artificial cultivation and promotion of jujube, the digging and transplanting of jujube seedlings are crucial steps. The quality of the digging operation directly affects the survival rate and subsequent growth of jujube seedlings. Manual digging can better protect jujube seedlings and their root systems. Manual operation allows for flexible adjustment of the digging force, range, and depth according to the growth of the jujube seedlings. Without damaging the root system, the seedlings and surrounding soil are dug out together to form a complete soil ball, maintaining the original habitat of the root system and soil. This is conducive to the rapid recovery and growth of jujube seedlings after transplanting. However, existing manual digging tools have relatively simple functions and lack optimized design for digging jujube seedlings. The seedlings need to be placed into the digging device through the notch of the digging tool. This operation reduces the efficiency of digging, increases labor intensity, and makes it inconvenient to remove the dug soil ball. Therefore, developing a jujube seedling digging device suitable for manual digging that can ensure the seedlings and soil are dug out completely is of great significance for improving the digging quality and transplant survival rate of jujube seedlings. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a harvesting device for jujube seedlings, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the jujube seedlings need to pass through the gap of the harvesting device during harvesting, which leads to a decrease in efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a jujube seedling harvesting device, comprising a main rod, the main rod being T-shaped, with an anti-slip handle inserted into the outer surface of one end of the main rod, a screw cap assembly being slidably connected to the main rod through the outer surface of the main rod, a bent rod being rotatably connected to the main rod through the outer surface of the screw cap assembly, a second insert being snapped onto the outer surface of the bent rod away from the anti-slip handle, and a first insert being snapped onto the outer surface of the main rod away from the anti-slip handle, with the outer surfaces of the first insert and the second insert fitting together, the main rod and the bent rod being scissor-type designs.
[0006] Preferably, a handle fitting block is fixedly installed on the outer surface of one end of the bent rod, and the outer surface of one end of the handle fitting block is in contact with the outer surface of the main rod, and the screw cap assembly is located at three-quarters of the outer surface of the bent rod.
[0007] Using the above technical solution, the handle-fitting block allows for easy movement and gripping of the curved rod, while the screw nut assembly is located at three-quarters of the curved rod, enabling the main rod and curved rod to open and close more easily using the lever principle.
[0008] Preferably, a first slot rod is fixedly installed on the outer surface of one end of the first insert, and the first slot rod engages with the main rod; a second slot rod is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the second insert, and the second slot rod engages with the bent rod; and the outer surfaces of the main rod and the bent rod are provided with threaded rotation mechanisms.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the specifications of the first and second inserts can be easily changed through the engagement of the main rod, the bent rod, the first slot rod, and the second slot rod, so as to facilitate the harvesting of jujube seedlings according to different growth batches.
[0010] Preferably, the threaded rotation mechanism includes: a first sleeve, which is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the main rod and the main rod is threadedly connected to the first sleeve, and the first sleeve is threadedly connected to the first slot rod; a second sleeve is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the bent rod and the second sleeve is threadedly connected to the bent rod, and the second sleeve is threadedly connected to the second slot rod.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the main rod, the bent rod, the first slot rod, and the second slot rod can be fixed and connected by tightening the first sleeve and the second sleeve, so that the first insert and the second insert can be installed quickly and conveniently.
[0012] Preferably, a fixing screw is installed through the outer surface of the main rod, and the fixing screw is slidably connected to the main rod. A limiting rod is installed through the outer surface of the fixing screw, and the limiting rod is threadedly connected to the fixing screw. The limiting rod is in contact with the outer surface of the grip contact block.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting rod can be installed and fixed on the outer surface of the main rod by the fixing screw. This allows the bending rod and the handle fitting block to be fixed by the limiting rod when the mining device is not in use, so that the main rod and the bending rod will not come apart during the process of picking up the mobile mining device, thus preventing accidental injury to the worker.
[0014] Preferably, a plastic-coated magnetic ring is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the main rod, and a set screw is installed through the outer surface of the plastic-coated magnetic ring, with the set screw fitting against the outer surface of the main rod, and the outer surface of the plastic-coated magnetic ring fitting against the outer surface of the limiting rod.
[0015] Using the above technical solution, the plastic-coated magnetic ring can be fixedly installed on the outer surface of the main rod using a set screw, which facilitates the installation or replacement of the plastic-coated magnetic ring. At the same time, the plastic-coated magnetic ring can also attract the limiting rod, so that the movement and rotation of the main rod and the bending rod will not be affected by the limiting rod when the mining device is in use.
[0016] Preferably, foot pedals are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the first insert and the second insert, and the foot pedals are located on the side close to the first slot rod and the second slot rod. Hexagonal faces are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the first sleeve and the second sleeve, and the two hexagonal faces are at different heights.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the use of the foot pedal, the grip block, and the anti-slip handle make it easier and less strenuous to insert the excavation device into the soil. At the same time, the use of hexagonal faces allows the first and second sleeves to be tightened more securely. Furthermore, the staggered design of the different heights of the hexagonal faces prevents the first and second sleeves from rubbing against each other when tightening, thus avoiding any impact.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the harvesting device for jujube seedlings:
[0019] 1. When using the device, simply grasp the non-slip handle and the grip block and pull to separate the main rod and the curved rod. This separation allows the first and second inserts to separate as well. Place the first and second inserts on both sides of the jujube seedling, and then close the main rod and the curved rod to bring the first and second inserts together. Then, use your body weight to press down and insert the first and second inserts into the soil. Shake the digging device to bring out the soil and seedlings. The opening and insertion of the first and second inserts improves the efficiency of inserting the seedlings into the digging device and increases the digging efficiency.
[0020] 2. By inserting the main rod, the bent rod, the first slot rod, and the second slot rod into the first slot rod, the main rod and the first slot rod, and the bent rod and the second slot rod can be connected together. Then, the first insert and the second insert can be fixed by tightening the first sleeve and the second sleeve. This allows the digging device to replace the first insert and the second insert with different sizes according to the seedlings at different growth stages. This allows the digging device to dig up jujube seedlings of different sizes without having to change to different digging devices.
[0021] 3. By rotating and lowering the limiting rod, it can block the handle contact block, preventing the main rod and curved rod from opening accidentally during the movement of the mining device. This reduces the inconvenience and injury caused by the opening of the main rod and curved rod. At the same time, when using the mining device, the limiting rod can be attracted by the plastic-coated magnetic ring, so that the limiting rod will not obstruct the curved rod and handle contact block during use, making it convenient to use and move the mining device.

[0029] 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.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a jujube seedling harvesting device, including a main rod 1, which is T-shaped, and an anti-slip handle 15 is inserted and installed on the outer surface of one end of the main rod 1. A screw cap assembly 4 is installed through the outer surface of the main rod 1, and the screw cap assembly 4 is slidably connected to the main rod 1. A bent rod 2 is installed through the outer surface of the screw cap assembly 4, and the bent rod 2, the main rod 1 and the screw cap assembly 4 are rotatably connected.

A first insert 5 is snapped onto the outer surface of the main rod 1 away from the anti-slip handle 15, and the outer surfaces of the first insert 5 and the second insert 6 are in contact. The main rod 1 and the bent rod 2 are scissor-type designs.
[0031] The T-shaped design of the main rod 1 makes it easy for users to grip it, while the use of the anti-slip handle 15 reduces the chance of slipping when gripping. The use of the screw cap assembly 4 allows the main rod 1 and the bent rod 2 to rotate, so that the first insert 5 and the second insert 6 connected to the main rod 1 and the bent rod 2 can open and close, making it easier and more convenient to put the jujube seedlings into the digging device, thereby improving the digging efficiency of the digging device for jujube seedlings.
[0032] A handle fitting block 3 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of one end of the bent rod 2, and the outer surface of one end of the handle fitting block 3 is in contact with the outer surface of the main rod 1. The screw cap assembly 4 is located at three-quarters of the outer surface of the bent rod 2.
[0033] The use of the handle-fitting block 3 makes the main rod 1 and the curved rod 2 more stable after they are attached, and can eliminate the noise generated by the collision. At the same time, it is convenient to move the main rod 1 and the curved rod 2 by gripping the handle-fitting block 3. Meanwhile, the position design of the screw nut assembly 4 on the curved rod 2 allows the main rod 1 and the curved rod 2 to use the lever principle when the mining device is in use, making the mining device more labor-saving.
[0034] A first slot rod 8 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of one end of the first insert 5, and the first slot rod 8 engages with the main rod 1. A second slot rod 9 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the second insert 6, and the second slot rod 9 engages with the bent rod 2. A threaded rotation mechanism is provided on the outer surfaces of the main rod 1 and the bent rod 2.
[0035] By engaging the first slot rod 8 with the main rod 1 and engaging the second insert 6 with the second slot rod 9, the first insert 5 and the second insert 6 can be fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the main rod 1 and the bent rod 2. This allows the harvesting device to replace the first insert 5 and the second insert 6 with different sizes according to the size of the jujube seedlings in different growth batches, so as to facilitate the harvesting of jujube seedlings at different growth stages.
[0036] The threaded rotation mechanism includes: a first sleeve 10, which is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the main rod 1, and the main rod 1 and the first sleeve 10 are threadedly connected, and the first sleeve 10 is threadedly connected to the first slot rod 8; a second sleeve 11 is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the bent rod 2, and the second sleeve 11 is threadedly connected to the bent rod 2, and the second sleeve 11 is threadedly connected to the second slot rod 9.

The outer surface of the plastic-coated magnetic ring 13 is in contact with the outer surface of the limiting rod 12.
[0041] The plastic-coated magnetic ring 13 can be fixedly installed on the outer surface of the main rod 1 by using the top screw 14, and the limiting rod 12 can be attracted by the plastic-coated magnetic ring 13, so that the mining device will not be blocked by the handle fitting block 3 during use.
[0042] Foot pedals 7 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the first insert 5 and the second insert 6, respectively, and the foot pedals 7 are close to the side of the first slot rod 8 and the second slot rod 9. Hexagonal faces 16 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the first sleeve 10 and the second sleeve 11, respectively, and the two hexagonal faces 16 have different heights.
[0043] By using the foot pedal 7, along with the grip block 3 and the anti-slip handle 15, it is convenient to use body weight and foot pedal to dig when harvesting seedlings, making digging and gripping more convenient. At the same time, the different heights of the hexagonal surfaces 16 prevent the first sleeve 10 and the second sleeve 11 from scratching and colliding with each other when tightened, and make the connection between the main rod 1, the bent rod 2, the first slot rod 8 and the second slot rod 9 more secure.
[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
