Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural digging tools, and more specifically, it relates to a portable device for digging up medicinal herbs in forests. Background Technology
[0002] Medicinal materials are the raw materials used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In China, they especially refer to Chinese medicinal materials, which are unprocessed or unfinished raw materials for Chinese medicine. Chinese medicinal materials usually need to be dug up in the wild, which requires corresponding digging equipment.
[0003] Current excavation equipment still has the following shortcomings:
[0004] Currently, commonly used digging tools typically include shovels, hoes, and other agricultural implements. The digging tools used vary depending on the type of medicinal herb being dug. This requires diggers to carry multiple agricultural tools to the work site, increasing the burden and difficulty of carrying them and making them inconvenient to use. Existing digging tools are rarely designed with portability and adjustability in mind, and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the height and operating habits of different users, further affecting the user's operating experience and work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a portable forest medicinal herb digging device. This solves the problem mentioned in the background art that different digging tools are used when digging different medicinal herbs, which requires diggers to carry multiple agricultural tools to the work site, increasing the burden and difficulty of carrying them.
[0006] The purpose and efficacy of this portable forest medicinal herb digging device are achieved through the following specific technical means:
[0007] A portable forest medicinal herb digging device includes: a fixing block; the fixing block adopts a rectangular block structure, and rectangular groove structures are provided on both the front and rear sides of the fixing block; a set of U-shaped block structure connecting blocks are rotatably connected in the rectangular grooves on both the front and rear sides of the fixing block, and a toothed groove structure is provided on one side of the connecting blocks; an iron shovel is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front set of connecting blocks; a hoe is fixedly connected to the rear side of the rear set of connecting blocks.
[0008] Furthermore, a cylindrical bottom rod is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing block, and a screw hole is provided on the top of the bottom rod; an assembly rod is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom rod, and a screw hole is provided on the top of the assembly rod; a first screw is fixedly connected to the bottom of the assembly rod; a T-shaped handle is connected to the top of the assembly rod; and a second screw is fixedly connected to the bottom of the handle.
[0009] Furthermore, a set of U-shaped plate structure fixing frames are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the connecting block, and a through rectangular groove structure is opened in the middle of the fixing frame.
[0010] Furthermore, a rectangular rod structure slides within the rectangular through groove in the middle of the fixing frame, and a spring is sleeved on the outside of the slide; a locking tooth is fixedly connected to one side of the slide, and the locking tooth engages with the locking groove structure on one side of the connecting block.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] This invention significantly enhances the functionality of the device by connecting a shovel and a pickaxe to the front and rear sides of the fixed block, respectively. In actual digging of medicinal herbs under the forest canopy, when loosening the soil is required, the pickaxe connected to the rear side can be used directly for soil turning; while when loosening and shoveling the soil around the herbs is necessary, the shovel connected to the front side comes into play. This design can meet different production needs and adapt to various complex scenarios in the process of digging medicinal herbs under the forest canopy, significantly improving work efficiency and adaptability compared to traditional single-function digging tools.
[0013] The device features an assembleable and detachable design. The base rod and the assembly rod are connected by screws, as are the handle and the assembly rod. The working parts, the shovel and the pickaxe, are also detachable. During transportation or storage, the device can be disassembled into multiple parts, greatly reducing the space occupied and making it easy to carry. Moreover, it eliminates the need to carry multiple different tools for operation, reducing the burden on herb collectors and enabling them to work more conveniently in the forest environment, thus improving the ease of use of the tools.
[0014] Users can flexibly adjust the overall length of the device according to their own height and operating habits. At the same time, during the digging process, the working angle of the shovel or pickaxe can be easily adjusted according to the soil hardness, the distribution of medicinal materials and the actual work needs, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of digging work and further enhancing the practicality of the device and the user experience.

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0023] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:
[0024] This utility model provides a portable understory medicinal herb digging device, comprising: a fixing block 1; the fixing block 1 adopts a rectangular block structure, and rectangular groove structures are provided on both the front and rear sides of the fixing block 1; a set of U-shaped block structure connecting blocks 104 are rotatably connected in the rectangular grooves on both the front and rear sides of the fixing block 1, and a toothed groove structure is provided on one side of the connecting blocks 104; an iron shovel 108 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front set of connecting blocks 104; a hoe 109 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the rear set of connecting blocks 104.
[0025] The connecting block 104 has a set of U-shaped plate structure fixing brackets 105 fixed on both the left and right sides, and the fixing brackets 105 have a through rectangular groove structure in the middle.
[0026] A rectangular rod 106 is slidably mounted in the rectangular through groove in the middle of the fixing frame 105, and a spring is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 106. A locking tooth 107 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding rod 106, and the locking tooth 107 engages with the locking groove structure on one side of the connecting block 104. When the user needs to use the shovel 108 for digging, he first adjusts the rotation angle of the connecting block 104 according to the actual work requirements. He then pulls the sliding rod 106 outward along the fixing frame 105, causing the locking tooth 107 to disengage from the connecting block 104. When the connecting block 104 is adjusted to a suitable angle, the locking tooth 107 on the sliding rod 106 will automatically engage with the locking groove on one side of the connecting block 104 under the elastic force of the spring, thereby fixing the connecting block 104 at that angle.
[0027] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0028] After assembly, select either the hoe 109 or the shovel 108 as needed. When using the shovel 108, the hoe 109 can be retracted to one side of the bottom rod 101 without affecting its operation. Similarly, the shovel 108 can be rotated and retracted without affecting its operation. To adjust the angle of the shovel 108 or hoe 109, the rotation angle of the connecting block 104 can be adjusted. First, pull the slide rod 106 outwards along the fixing frame 105, causing the locking teeth 107 to disengage from the connecting block 104, thus removing its limiting effect on the connecting block 104. The connecting block 104 can be rotated inside the fixed block 1. When the connecting block 104 is adjusted to a suitable angle, the slide rod 106 is released. The locking teeth 107 on the slide rod 106 will automatically engage with the locking groove on one side of the connecting block 104 under the elastic force of the spring, thereby fixing the connecting block 104 at that angle and completing the entire adjustment process. By providing a shovel 108 and a pickaxe 109, the functionality of the device is improved on the one hand, ensuring normal use and meeting different production needs. On the other hand, the portability of the tools is improved, eliminating the need to carry multiple tools for operation, reducing the carrying burden, and making it more convenient to use.
[0029] Example 2: Based on Example 1, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:
[0030] The top of the fixing block 1 is fixedly provided with a cylindrical bottom rod 101, and the top of the bottom rod 101 has a screw hole structure; the top of the bottom rod 101 is fixedly connected to an assembly rod 102, and the top of the assembly rod 102 has a screw hole structure; the bottom of the assembly rod 102 is fixedly connected to a first screw 110; the top of the assembly rod 102 is connected to a T-shaped handle 103; the bottom of the handle 103 is fixedly connected to a second screw 111; the assembly rod 102 also has a screw hole structure at its top, and the bottom of the assembly rod 102 is fixedly connected to the first screw 110, which, through the first screw... A screw 110 is screwed into the screw hole at the top of the base rod 101, achieving a stable connection between the base rod 101 and the assembly rod 102. This connection method facilitates disassembly and assembly when needed, improving the portability of the device. It also allows for adjustment of the overall length of the device according to the user's height and operational needs, making it more convenient to use. By screwing the second screw 111 into the screw hole at the top of the assembly rod 102, the user can easily hold the handle 103 to operate the entire digging device. The T-shaped handle 103 design effectively increases the user's comfort and operational stability when holding the device.
[0031] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0032] In this utility model, the assembly rod 102 is taken out, and its bottom first screw 110 is aligned with the screw hole at the top of the base rod 101. The first screw 110 is rotated clockwise to make it tightly screwed into the screw hole at the top of the base rod 101, thus completing the stable connection between the base rod 101 and the assembly rod 102. This connection method not only ensures the stability of the connection between the two, but also reduces the size of the device and improves portability during transportation or storage because it can be screwed and disassembled. At the same time, the user can adjust the number of assembly rods 102 according to actual needs and convenience, thereby adjusting the overall length, making it easier to operate and use. The handle 103 with the T-shaped rod structure is picked up, and its bottom second screw 111 is aligned with the screw hole at the top of the assembly rod 102. The second screw 111 is also rotated clockwise to make it screwed into the screw hole at the top of the assembly rod 102 until the handle 103 is firmly installed. The T-shaped handle 103 can increase the user's grip area and effectively improve comfort and operational stability during operation.
