[0009] The technical effects achieved by adopting the above solution are: the handwheel facilitates the adjustment of the drive worm gear by rotating it, and the non-slip grip facilitates the operation.
[0010] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the position of the middle part of the shovel plate corresponds to the position of the connecting sleeve, the shovel plate is perpendicular to the two rotating arms, a cutting edge is provided on one side edge of the shovel plate, and a cutting edge is provided on one side of the inner wall of the cutting edge.

[0013] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that when the shovel plate and the connecting sleeve are in normal shoveling state, the rake teeth remain vertical and parallel to the connecting sleeve, which facilitates the storage of the rake teeth and prevents the rake teeth from drying out during shoveling.
[0014] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the length of the transmission joint is greater than the length of the rotating arm, and the thickness of the transmission joint is adapted to the width of the rotating arm.
[0015] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is to prevent interference between the shovel plate, the connecting rod, and the connecting sleeve when the rotating arm rotates.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. This multi-functional garden shovel for garden maintenance uses a handwheel to drive a worm gear, which in turn drives a transmission shaft.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.
[0024] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a multi-functional garden shovel for garden maintenance includes a transmission joint 1. A connecting sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the transmission joint 1. A driven shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the center of one side of the transmission joint 1. Both ends of the driven shaft 16 extend through the middle of the two sides of the transmission joint 1. Rotating arms 3 are fixedly connected to both ends of the driven shaft 16. A shovel plate foot pedal 4 is fixedly connected to one end of both rotating arms 3. A shovel plate 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the shovel plate foot pedal 4. A connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the ends of both rotating arms 3 away from the shovel plate foot pedal 4. Rake teeth are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting rod 7. 8. A positioning plate 15 is fixedly connected to the center of the inner wall of the transmission joint 1. A transmission shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the center of the positioning plate 15. The top end of the transmission shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 2. A driven worm gear 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission shaft 12. A drive worm 11 is rotatably connected to one side of the top of the connecting sleeve 2. The middle part of the drive worm 11 is meshed with the driven worm gear 13. The bottom end of the transmission shaft 12 passes through one side of the positioning plate 15 and is fixedly connected to a drive gear 14. A driven gear 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the middle part of the driven shaft 16. The drive gear 14 and the driven gear 17 are meshed.
[0025] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, both ends of the drive worm 11 extend through the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 2. Both ends of the drive worm 11 are fixedly connected to a rotating handwheel 9. The end of the connecting sleeve 2 away from the transmission joint 1 is fixedly connected to an anti-slip handle 10. The diameter of the anti-slip handle 10 is adapted to the diameter of the connecting sleeve 2. The drive worm 11 can be easily rotated and adjusted by rotating the handwheel 9, and the anti-slip handle 10 facilitates gripping and operation.
[0026] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the position of the middle part of the shovel plate 5 corresponds to the position of the connecting sleeve 2. The shovel plate 5 is perpendicular to the two rotating arms 3. A cutting edge 6 is opened on one side edge of the shovel plate 5, and a cutting edge is opened on one side of the inner wall of the cutting edge 6, so that the shovel plate 5 is balanced by force on the left and right.

The two rake teeth 8 are opposite to the orientation of the shovel plate 5. The two rake teeth 8 are arranged parallel to each other with the shovel plate 5. This allows the rake teeth 8 to remain vertical and parallel to the connecting sleeve 2 when the shovel plate 5 and the connecting sleeve 2 are in normal soil-shoveling state. This makes it easy to store the rake teeth 8 and prevents the rake teeth 8 from drying out during soil-shoveling operations.
[0028] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the length of the transmission joint 1 is greater than the length of the rotating arm 3, and the thickness of the transmission joint 1 is adapted to the width of the rotating arm 3, so as to prevent interference between the shovel plate stepping pedal 4, the connecting rod 7 and the connecting sleeve 2 when the rotating arm 3 rotates.
[0029] A multi-functional garden shovel for garden maintenance, the working principle of which is as follows:
[0030] 1) By rotating the handwheel 9, the drive worm 11 is rotated, which in turn drives the transmission shaft 12 to rotate, causing the drive gear 14 to drive the driven gear 17 to rotate;
[0031] 2) The driven gear 17 rotates, causing the driven shaft 16 to drive the rotating arm 3 to rotate, causing the shovel plate 5 and the rake teeth 8 to flip as a whole, and the rake teeth 8 and the shovel plate 5 rotate to a direction perpendicular to the connecting sleeve 2.
[0032] 3) By holding the connecting sleeve 2, the rake teeth 8 can dig the soil layer, making the soil layer loose and easy to dig. At the same time, the angle of the shovel plate 5 can be rotated and adjusted according to the needs of digging to facilitate digging the soil and digging pits.
[0033] In summary, this multi-functional garden shovel for garden maintenance, by rotating the handwheel 9, drives the worm gear 11 to rotate the transmission shaft 12, which in turn drives the driven gear 14 to rotate the driven gear 17, causing the driven shaft 16 to rotate the rotating arm 3. This causes the shovel plate 5 and the rake teeth 8 to rotate as a whole, so that both the rake teeth 8 and the shovel plate 5 rotate to a direction perpendicular to the connecting sleeve 2. By holding the connecting sleeve 2, the rake teeth 8 can dig the soil layer, loosening the soil and facilitating digging. At the same time, the angle of the shovel plate 5 can be adjusted according to the digging needs to facilitate digging holes. By rotating the rotating arm 3, the shovel plate 5 can be kept perpendicular to the connecting sleeve 2, making it easy to lift and dig out the loose soil layer, achieving the effect of easy digging. At the same time, the blade 6 on one side of the shovel plate 5 and the cutting edge on the inner wall of the blade 6 make it easy to cut off the trunk of the plant, achieving the purpose of pruning.
