Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tomato breeding technology, and more specifically, to a tomato seedling transplanting device. Background Technology

[0002] As a globally important economic crop, the transplanting of tomato seedlings directly affects survival rates and subsequent yields. In traditional transplanting, farmers often rely on manual labor or simple tools. Manually digging up seedlings easily leads to loose soil clumps, broken fine roots, and a prolonged recovery period after planting. Transplanting machines create negative pressure when inserted into the soil, and the suction force inside the cylinder pulls on the roots during lifting, exacerbating damage. Furthermore, transplanting tools lack self-cleaning functions; soil adhering to the inner walls requires frequent tapping and cleaning, interrupting the process. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a tomato seedling transplanting device, including a transplanting cylinder with the same diameter at the top and bottom and open openings. The transplanting cylinder is hollow inside to form a transplanting cavity. A separation groove is opened at the top of the transplanting cylinder and extends to the bottom of the transplanting cylinder. An annular pressure ring is fixed on the outer wall of the top of the transplanting cylinder. An upwardly extending operating rod is fixed at the top of the pressure ring. A lifting and movable mud removal mechanism is sleeved on the outside of the operating rod. The bottom of the mud removal mechanism extends into the transplanting cavity and fits against the inner wall of the transplanting cavity.

[0004] In a preferred embodiment, a ring of teeth is installed at the bottom of the transplanting tube, and several through holes are provided on the transplanting tube.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the operating lever is connected to a first grip extending to one side.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the mud removal mechanism includes a limiting sleeve sleeved outside the operating rod and a mud removal hanging ring attached to the inner wall of the transplanting cavity. Both the mud removal hanging ring and the pressure ring are arranged in a "C" shape and extend to the edge of the separation groove at both ends.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting rod connects the mud removal ring and the limiting sleeve, and a second gripping rod extending to one side is connected to the outer wall of the limiting sleeve, with the first gripping rod and the second gripping rod arranged vertically between them.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting cover is fitted around the connecting rod, the limiting cover is fixed to the outer wall of the operating rod, and the bottom end of the limiting cover is flush with the surface of the pressure ring.

[0009] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] This invention utilizes the synergistic effect of the separation groove and the through hole to reduce the risk of soil breakage when lifting the tube, ensuring that the seedling roots are transplanted intact with soil. The hole design eliminates the vacuum adsorption force inside the tube, avoiding the tearing of fine roots when lifting the traditional transplanter. The mud removal ring only requires pressing down the second grip with one hand to clean, avoiding the tedious operation of manually tapping the tube wall. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0015] like Figure 1-2 The tomato seedling transplanting device shown includes a transplanting cylinder with the same diameter at the top and bottom and open openings. The transplanting cylinder is hollow inside to form a transplanting cavity. A separation groove is opened at the top of the transplanting cylinder and extends to the bottom of the transplanting cylinder. An annular pressure ring is fixed on the outer wall of the top of the transplanting cylinder. An upwardly extending operating rod is fixed at the top of the pressure ring. A mud removal mechanism that can be lifted and moved is sleeved on the outside of the operating rod. The bottom of the mud removal mechanism extends into the transplanting cavity and fits against the inner wall of the transplanting cavity. A ring of teeth is installed at the bottom of the transplanting cylinder. Several through holes are opened on the transplanting cylinder.

[0016] Based on the above, during use, the transplanting tube is inserted into the soil, and downward pressure is applied by stepping on the pressure ring. When the teeth cut into the soil, they cut through hard soil clods, reducing insertion resistance. The transplanting tube, with its uniform diameter design, ensures that a cylindrical soil ball is formed when inserted into the soil. The separation groove guides the soil to crack naturally when lifted, reducing the pulling on the root system and ensuring that the plant roots are completely separated from the surrounding soil ball, maintaining the cylindrical structure of the soil ball. The pressure ring limits the insertion depth to prevent damage to the seedling. The mud removal mechanism scrapes the inner wall of the transplanting cavity by lifting and scraping to remove residual soil. The through holes on the side wall of the transplanting tube allow some soil to overflow during insertion, avoiding the formation of negative pressure inside the tube and reducing the pulling damage to the root system when lifting the tube.

[0017] The top of the operating lever is connected to a first grip extending to one side. The first grip provides a lever fulcrum. By pressing down the operating lever, the transplanting cylinder is driven to insert into the soil. It is labor-saving and ergonomic when lifting.

[0018] The mud removal mechanism includes a limiting sleeve sleeved outside the operating rod and a mud removal hanging ring attached to the inner wall of the transplanting cavity. Both the mud removal hanging ring and the pressure ring are arranged in a "C" shape and extend to the edge of the separation groove at both ends.

[0019] Based on the above, the limiting sleeve moves up and down along the operating rod, causing the C-shaped mud removal ring to scrape off the adhering soil tightly against the inner wall of the transplanting cavity. The C-shaped design avoids the edge of the separation groove to prevent soil residue from clogging it.

[0020] A connecting rod connects the mud removal hanging ring and the limiting sleeve. A second gripping rod extending to one side is connected to the outer wall of the limiting sleeve. The first gripping rod and the second gripping rod are arranged vertically.

[0021] Based on the above, the connecting rod rigidly connects the limiting sleeve to the mud removal hanging ring, and the second grip provides independent control through its vertical layout. The mud scraping action can be driven by pressing down with one hand without the need to switch hands.

[0022] The connecting rod is fitted with a limiting cover, which is fixed on the outer wall of the operating rod. The bottom end of the limiting cover is flush with the surface of the pressure ring.

[0023] Based on the above, the movement trajectory of the limiting cover is fixed to prevent shaking during mud scraping; its bottom end is flush with the pressure ring to ensure that the mud removal hanging ring completely fits the inner wall of the transplanting cavity when it moves down to the bottom.

[0024] Based on the above, this utility model utilizes the synergistic effect of the separation groove and the through hole to reduce the risk of soil breakage when lifting the cylinder, ensuring that the seedling roots are transplanted intact with soil. The hole design eliminates the vacuum adsorption force inside the cylinder, avoiding the tearing of fine roots when lifting the traditional transplanter. The mud removal hanging ring scraping and cleaning only requires pressing down the second grip with one hand, avoiding the tedious operation of manually tapping the cylinder wall.

[0025] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented according to conventional means in the art.
