Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural technology, specifically an olive cutting propagation device. Background Technology
[0002] Cutting propagation is a common method of plant reproduction. It involves inserting plant branches, leaves, or rhizomes into soil or water to encourage root growth and the formation of new plants. This method allows for rapid plant propagation while maintaining the desirable traits of the parent plant.
[0003] Olive cuttings are typically propagated by inserting olive branches into a suitable medium and spraying water to keep the medium loose and moist, ensuring good aerial root development. However, while continuously watering, the cuttings may tilt due to improper watering or management, especially with longer olive cuttings or when the cutting depth is insufficient. This tilting can cause the roots to grow concentrated on one side, while the roots on the other side may develop poorly, affecting the overall growth of the plant. Therefore, improvements are needed.
[0004] Existing solutions include optimizing the cutting process by making angled cuts to increase the rooting area, or reducing water flow impact and adjusting the water spraying method to avoid tilting, but these methods have little effect. Another approach is to improve the mixed medium formula to balance water retention and fixation. However, these methods are still relatively cumbersome, time-consuming, and costly to implement. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problem mentioned in the background art that the root system may grow intensively on one side while the root system on the other side is underdeveloped, thus affecting the overall growth of the plant, this utility model provides an olive cutting propagation device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an olive cutting propagation device, comprising a fixing component, an irrigation component fixedly installed on one side of the fixing component, a cultivation component provided in the inner cavity of the fixing component, the cultivation component comprising a mounting plate, a plurality of air bladders fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate, a cultivation trough movably connected to the surface of the mounting plate, air pipes connecting the air bladders, an inflation box fixedly connected to the end of the air pipes, and the inflation box fixedly connected to the fixing component.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] 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.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides an olive cutting propagation device, including a fixing component 1, an irrigation component 2 fixedly installed on one side of the fixing component 1, a cultivation component 3 provided in the inner cavity of the fixing component 1, the cultivation component 3 including a mounting plate 31, a plurality of air bags 33 fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 31, a cultivation trough 32 movably connected to the surface of the mounting plate 31, an air pipe 34 connected between the air bags 33, an inflation box 35 fixedly connected to the end of the air pipe 34, and the inflation box 35 fixedly connected to the fixing component 1.
[0024] The above scheme involves inserting olive cuttings into the inner cavity of the cultivation trough 32 using the fixing component 1 and the cultivation component 3. Then, the air chamber 35 is activated, filling the air bags 33 with gas through the air pipe 34. The air bags 33 on both sides of the cultivation trough 32 inflate, clamping the olive cuttings and securing them without damaging them. The air bag design allows for the clamping of olive cuttings of different diameters. After securing, the shell 11 is sealed, and then the irrigation component 2 is activated to water the olive cuttings, keeping the cultivation medium moist. This achieves the effect of securing olive cuttings of different sizes, preventing tilting during cultivation, ensuring normal root growth, and guaranteeing the integrity of root development. The inner layer of the airbag 33 is enhanced with anti-slip texture or soft silicone particles to increase friction and make the fixation more reliable. After rooting, the gas in the airbag 33 is slowly released.
[0025] like Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, the fixing component 1 includes a housing 11, a cover 12 is hinged to the top of the housing 11, a tray 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 11, a strainer 14 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the inner cavity of the tray 13, the middle part of the cover 12 is transparent, a handle is provided at the top of the cover 12, and the bottom surface of the culture tank 32 is in contact with the top surface of the strainer 14.
[0026] The above scheme employs the following design: With the shell 11 designed, when olive cuttings need to be placed or removed, rotating the lid 12 allows the tray 13 to temporarily store the water drained from the cultivation trough 32, facilitating water recovery. The mesh 14 provides additional support to the cultivation trough 32, making olive cuttings more stable. The transparent center of the lid 12 allows for easy observation of the olive cutting cultivation process and inspection for pests and diseases. The handle on the lid 12 facilitates opening and closing, making it easy to handle and place the olive cuttings. The bottom of the cultivation trough 32 contacts the top of the mesh 14, which supports the cultivation trough 32, making it more stable during use.
[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the irrigation assembly 2 includes a water tank 21. A pipe 22 located in the inner cavity of the housing 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank 21. A connecting pipe 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the water tank 21. The bottom of the tray 13 is inclined. The end of the connecting pipe 23 is connected to the inner cavity of the tray 13. A heating wire is provided on the inner wall of the water tank 21.
[0028] The above solution works as follows: Through the cooperation of water tank 21 and pipe 22, when increased humidity is detected in the housing 11, water from the inner cavity of water tank 21 is evenly sprayed into the inner cavity of housing 11 via pipe 22 and atomizing spray nozzles at the bottom of pipe 22, thereby increasing the humidity within housing 11. The design of connecting pipe 23 facilitates the recycling of water in tray 13. The sloping design of the bottom surface of tray 13 ensures that when a large amount of water is sprayed from pipe 22, it slowly falls into tray 13. The design of the heating wire on the inner wall of the water tank 21 heats the water tank 21. After heating, the water in the water tank 21 is discharged and collected through the drain hole at the bottom of the water tank 21. Then, the drain hole of the water tank 21 is blocked, so that a negative pressure is formed between the water tank 21 and the connecting pipe 23. After the negative pressure is formed, the water in the inner cavity of the tray 13 flows back into the water tank 21, thereby recycling the water and achieving the effect of saving water resources. The sloping design of the tray 13 allows for the rapid recovery of excess water when the water tank 21 forms a negative pressure.
[0029] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the upper end of the mounting plate 31 is provided with several grooves, the upper end of the culture tank 32 is provided with a protrusion, the bottom of the inner cavity of the culture tank 32 is provided with a through hole, the culture tank 32 is made of PVC, the bottom of the tray 13 is provided with a heating wire, and the top of the inner cavity of the housing 11 is provided with a temperature and humidity sensor.
[0030] In this design, heating wires are installed in both the water tank 21 and the tray 13. Heating of the tray 13 and the water tank 21 does not occur simultaneously. When there is a large amount of water in the tray 13, the water tank 21 is heated, creating a negative pressure within it, allowing the water in the tray 13 to be recycled and reused. However, if only the heating wires in the tray 13 are kept on, it is impossible to heat the water tank 21 to create a negative pressure, thus preventing the water in the tray 13 from being recycled.
[0031] The above solution employs the following: Through the cooperation of the mounting plate 31 and the culture tank 32, and the design of the groove in the mounting plate 31 and the protrusion in the culture tank 32, the culture tank 32 can be quickly disassembled and cleaned when used for a long time. If one of the culture tanks 32 is damaged, it is easy to replace the damaged culture tank 32. The opening of the through-holes in the culture tank 32 allows water to drip slowly through, ensuring good aerial root development. Due to the material limitations of the culture tank 32, PVC has strong chemical corrosion resistance, resisting the erosion of many acids, alkalis, and salts. It is durable and sturdy, not prone to aging, has a long service life, is a good electrical insulator, has low material cost, is economical, and has certain heat resistance. The design of the heating wire at the bottom of the tray 13 allows the heating wire to automatically heat up when the temperature and humidity sensor in the housing 11 detects a low temperature, raising the temperature inside the housing 11. Heating stops once a certain temperature is reached. This is existing technology.
[0032] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0033] Olive cuttings are inserted into the inner cavity of the cultivation tank 32. The air chamber 35 is activated, allowing gas to fill the air bladders 33 through the air pipe 34. The air bladders 33 on both sides of the cultivation tank 32 inflate, clamping the olive cuttings and securing them without damaging them. The air bladders 33 are designed to hold olive cuttings of different diameters. When the temperature and humidity sensor in the housing 11 detects low temperature and humidity, the heating wire automatically heats up, raising the temperature inside the housing 11. Water tank 21... Water in the inner cavity passes through pipe 22 and is evenly sprayed into the inner cavity of shell 11 through atomizing spray head at the bottom of pipe 22, thereby increasing the humidity in the inner cavity of shell 11. After a certain period of time, when there is a lot of water in tray 13, water tank 21 is heated. After heating, the water in water tank 21 is discharged and collected through drain hole at the bottom of water tank 21. Then, drain hole of water tank 21 is blocked, so that negative pressure is formed between water tank 21 and connecting pipe 23. After negative pressure is formed, water in the inner cavity of tray 13 flows back into water tank 21, thereby recycling water and achieving the effect of saving water resources.
