Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tree seedling transplantation, and in particular to a root protection and seedling preservation device for transplanting magnolia seedlings. Background Technology

[0002] Transplanting seedlings can move them from a dense nursery environment to a more suitable environment with better soil, light, and ventilation, reducing the occurrence of pests and diseases and increasing the survival rate.

[0003] The existing announcement number is CN219698440U, which describes seedling transplanting equipment. This equipment includes a support frame and multiple soil-shoveling blades positioned below the frame. A threaded cylinder is mounted on top of the support frame, with a connecting rod threaded onto the inner side of the cylinder. Multiple adjusting screws are mounted on the support frame, each threaded with a fixing block. The soil-shoveling blades are bolted to the fixing blocks. This invention uses multiple soil-shoveling blades to insert into the soil around the seedling, providing more comprehensive protection for the soil and seedling roots. The connecting rods allow for length adjustment, making it easy to hold. The support frame also provides footholds for leverage, making it more convenient to use.

[0004] The above-mentioned method involves vertically inserting multiple shovel blades into the soil, and then using a combination of insertion and rotation to remove and separate the soil around the seedling roots. Finally, the soil around the seedling roots is removed as a whole. However, since the soil clump has the same diameter from top to bottom, the soil is prone to falling off from the side when subjected to vertical force, exposing the root system. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a root protection and seedling preservation device for transplanting magnolia seedlings.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A seedling transplanting and root protection device for magnolia saplings includes a sleeve into which a rod is inserted. The rod is connected to a plate. One end of the plate is connected to a round rod. Two sets of round rods are rotatably connected to a connector. One end of each connector is connected to an arc-shaped plate. The rod passes through the plate. One end of the plate is connected to a round rod. Two sets of round rods are rotatably connected to a connector. One end of each connector is connected to a round rod. Multiple sets of round rods are rotatably connected to one end or the other end of a corresponding connector. The rod has multiple holes. One end of the plate has a hole. A bolt is threaded into the hole. The bolt is threaded into the corresponding hole.

[0008] Preferably, the rod body has multiple sets of three holes, and one end of the sleeve body has a four-hole hole. The four holes are threadedly connected to bolts, and the bolts are threadedly connected to the corresponding three holes.

[0009] Preferably, a round rod is connected to one end of the sleeve and the other end.

[0010] Preferably, each end of both sets of round rods is fitted with an anti-slip sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, one end of each of the two sets of arc-shaped plates is connected to a ring blade.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the bolt is connected to a knob.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the second bolt is connected to a second knob.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. By coordinating the bolt one, connector one, and connector two, unscrew bolt one to remove the restriction on plate two, move plate two, and then drive connector one to rotate through connector two. The rotation of connector one will drive the arc plate to rotate. After adjusting the tilt angle of the arc plate, insert the arc plate into the ground near the seedling, and then rotate the arc plate. Because the arc plate is placed at an angle, after being inserted and rotated, it forms a cone-shaped soil ball that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The cone-shaped soil ball has a structure similar to a "wedge", which increases the friction between soil particles and makes it less likely to loosen during transportation or transplanting.

[0016] 2. By coordinating the sleeve, bolt two, and rod, unscrewing bolt two removes the restriction on the rod, allowing it to move freely within a certain range. The user can slide the rod up or down according to their height. As the rod moves, the sleeve and rod extend and retract in tandem, changing their combined length. After adjusting to the desired length, bolt two is screwed back into the rod to secure it, ensuring that the total length of the sleeve and rod remains stable during subsequent use. This design offers a wide range of applicability. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Example 1, referring to Figures 1 to 5A seedling transplanting and root protection device for magnolia seedlings includes a sleeve 1, into which a rod 4 is inserted. The rod 4 is connected to a plate 5. One end of the plate 5 is connected to a round rod 6. Both sets of round rods 6 are rotatably connected to a connector 7. One end of each connector 7 is connected to an arc plate 8. The connector 7 drives the arc plate 8 to rotate, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the arc plate 8. The rod 4 is movably inserted through the plate 10. The movable plate 2 10 will drive the connector 2 12 to rotate. One end of the plate 2 10 is connected to the round rod 3 11. Both sets of round rod 3 11 are rotatably connected to the connector 2 12. The rotation of the connector 2 12 will drive the connector 1 7 to rotate. One end of both sets of connector 2 12 is connected to the round rod 4 13. Multiple sets of round rod 4 13 are rotatably connected to one end or the other end of the corresponding connector 1 7. Multiple sets of holes 1 14 are opened on the rod body 4. One end of the plate 2 10 is opened with a hole 2 15. The hole 2 15 is threadedly connected to the bolt 1 16. Bolt 16 is used to fix plate 2 10. Bolt 16 is threadedly connected to the corresponding hole 14. Unscrewing bolt 16 removes the restriction on plate 2 10, moves plate 2 10, and then drives connector 1 7 to rotate through connector 2 12. Connector 1 7 drives arc plate 8 to rotate, which in turn makes arc plate 8 rotate around the axis of round rod 2 6. After rotating arc plate 8 at a certain angle, screw bolt 16 into hole 3 18 to fix plate 2 10. Insert arc plate 8 into the soil near the seedling. After inserting to a certain depth, rotate the tool to form a conical soil ball that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The structure of the conical soil ball is relatively compact, which can prevent the soil near the roots from falling off during movement and can better protect the roots of the seedlings to a certain extent. Move the soil ball to the top of the pre-dug pit, unscrew bolt 16 to remove the restriction on plate 2 10, and move plate 2 10 to unfold arc plate 8, which makes it easier to put the seedling into the pit to a certain extent and has a wide range of applications.

[0025] In this embodiment, the rod 4 has multiple sets of holes 18, and one end of the sleeve 1 has a hole 19. A bolt 20 is threaded onto the hole 19, and the bolt 20 is used to fix the rod 4. The bolt 20 is threaded onto the corresponding hole 18. By unscrewing the bolt 20, the rod 4 can be moved, adjusting the total length of the rod 4 and sleeve 1. Users can adjust the total length of the rod 4 and sleeve 1 according to their height or operating habits, making it widely applicable. Both ends of the sleeve 1 are connected to round rods 2, making it easier to insert the curved plate 8 into the soil. Both sets of round rods 2 have anti-slip sleeves 3 on one end, improving the grip. Both sets of curved plates 8 have ring blades 9 on one end, enhancing the sharpness of cutting into the soil and reducing soil resistance. One end of the bolt 16 is connected to a knob 17, making it easier to rotate the bolt 16. Bolt 20 is connected to a knob 21 at one end, which makes it easier to rotate bolt 20.

[0026] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, unscrew bolt 16 to release the fixation restriction on plate 10, allowing plate 10 to move up and down along rod 4. As plate 10 moves, connecting piece 12 rotates via rod 3 11, which in turn rotates connecting piece 7, causing the arc-shaped plate 8 to rotate around the axis of rod 2 6, changing its tilt angle. Connecting piece 12 is rotatably connected to connecting piece 7 via rod 4 13, forming a four-bar linkage to ensure that the two sets of arc-shaped plates 8 rotate synchronously and at the same angle. After adjusting the arc-shaped plate 8 to a suitable tilt angle, screw bolt 16 into the corresponding hole 14 for fixation. Holding rod 2, insert the arc-shaped plate 8 into the soil around the seedling. Due to the tilted design of the arc-shaped plate 8, rotating the device after insertion forms a cone-shaped soil ball that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The cone-shaped soil ball has greater friction between soil particles, making it less prone to scattering when moved, thus maintaining the integrity of the root soil to a certain extent and protecting the roots. Loosen bolt 20, and rod 4 can slide up and down in sleeve 1. Adjust rod 4 to a comfortable length according to the user's height or working posture, and then screw bolt 20 into hole 318 to fix it, ensuring structural stability during operation. It has a wide range of applications to a certain extent.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
