Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cutting device for grafting, belonging to the technical field of grafting cutting devices. It is particularly suitable for vegetables, and also applicable to the cutting of fruit trees and seedlings for grafting. Background Technology

[0002] In current vegetable grafting procedures, the rootstock is cut at the top (including branches and leaves) with scissors (or a cutting knife), leaving an angled cut. The scion is also cut at the root with scissors (or a cutting knife), leaving an angled cut. The cuts of the rootstock and scion are then aligned, and clamps are used to hold them together until the cuts are in contact, completing the grafting. The cutting can be done manually or with cutting equipment. However, due to the diversity and variability of rootstocks and scions, most current methods, whether manual or mechanical, involve cutting single scions or scion-rootstock plants. Cutting rootstocks in rows and then aligning and grafting the scions is complex, resulting in low success and survival rates. There are very few mature grafting equipment products on the market. There is also no equipment available for simultaneously cutting multiple rows of scions and rootstocks, ensuring the cuts align naturally. Therefore, the cutting efficiency is low, hindering efficient, large-scale grafting operations. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a cutting device for fruit and vegetable grafting, which is beneficial to improve the grafting cutting efficiency, facilitates the simultaneous cutting of scions and rootstocks, and the cuts of the scions and rootstocks after cutting naturally correspond to each other. The specific technical solution is as follows.

[0004] A cutting device for grafting, characterized in that it includes a mounting base and two or more cutting modules;

[0005] The cutting module is arranged side by side on the mounting base; the cutting module includes two cutters spaced apart, both cutters are inclined relative to the axial direction of the material to be cut, and the inclination direction of the two cutters is the same.

[0006] Using the above technical solution, rootstock and scion can be cut simultaneously, especially the overlapping parts of rootstock and scion, ensuring that the cut rootstock and scion have corresponding slanted cuts. Moreover, multiple rootstocks and multiple scions can be cut at the same time. This not only allows for efficient cutting of rootstock and scion, but also allows the cut rootstock and scion to be directly clamped and fixed to complete the grafting operation.

[0007] Furthermore, the tilt angle of the cutter in the cutting module is adjustable, accommodating different cutting angle requirements for seedlings of varying diameters.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a first linear drive mechanism, which is used to drive the mounting base to perform reciprocating motion.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a cutting board assembly, which comprises several cutting boards and cutting board mounting bases. The cutting boards are mounted on the cutting board mounting bases, and each cutting board corresponds to a cutting knife module. In use, after the rootstock and scion are fixed, they are located between the cutting board and the cutting knife module. Driven by a first linear drive mechanism, the cutting knife module moves toward the cutting board, thereby cutting the rootstock and scion.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a second linear drive mechanism, which drives the anvil mounting base to reciprocate. The second linear drive mechanism can push the anvil to a position close to the rootstock and scion, and then return the rootstock and scion to the appropriate position after cutting, which is beneficial for the pre- and post-operations of fixing and removing the rootstock and scion.

[0011] Preferably, the cutting blades of all the cutting modules have the same tilt direction.

[0012] Furthermore, the cutting board is slidably mounted on the cutting board mounting base, and an elastic element is provided between the cutting board and the cutting board mounting base. The elastic element allows the cutting board to adaptively retract when impacted by a cutting knife, which helps to completely cut without sticking.

[0013] Furthermore, the cutting board is made of a soft material, such as rubber, or a non-metallic / soft metal like aluminum. A cutting board made of a soft material helps to extend the lifespan of the cutting knife.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this invention is applicable to the cutting of seedlings for grafting of plants, fruits, and vegetables. It has the ability to cut multiple rootstocks and scions at once, enabling efficient completion of the cutting process. It is simple to operate, highly accurate, and simplifies the grafting process. This invention achieves rapid cutting of entire rows of seedlings, avoiding the low efficiency of manual or equipment-based single-plant cutting. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] See Figures 1-4 A cutting device for grafting, comprising a mounting base 1 and two or more cutting modules 2;

[0022] The cutting module 2 is arranged side by side on the mounting base 1; the cutting module 2 includes two cutters 2.1 spaced apart, both cutters 2.1 are inclined relative to the axial direction of the material to be cut (rootstock 5 and scion 6), and the two cutters 2.1 are inclined in the same direction.

[0023] The cutting module 2 can be detachably fixed to the mounting base 1, which facilitates replacement and maintenance. The cutting module 2 can be installed at a fixed tilt angle or with an adjustable tilt angle, suitable for different seedling sizes; larger seedlings require a smaller tilt angle, and smaller seedlings require a larger tilt angle. The cutting module 2 includes a blade holder 2.2 and two cutting blades 2.1, with the cutting blades fixed to the blade holder 2.2. The tilt direction of the two cutting blades 2.1 refers to... Figure 3 Both blades 2.1 shown are tilted to the left (left higher than right). The tilt angles of the two blades 2.1 can be the same or slightly different. The purpose of tilting the blades 2.1 is to create tilted cuts on the rootstock 5 and scion 6. Preferably, the tilt direction of all blades 2.1 in the blade module 2 is the same.

[0024] In order to control the cutting action of the cutter module 2, the cutting device also includes a first linear drive mechanism 3. The first linear drive mechanism 3 is used to drive the mounting base 1 to reciprocate. The first linear drive mechanism 3 can be a cylinder, a linear motor, a gear and rack mechanism, a lead screw and nut mechanism, etc.

[0025] To better coordinate with the cutting action of the cutter 2.1, the cutting device also includes an anvil assembly 4, which comprises several anvils 4.1 and anvil mounting bases 4.2. The anvils 4.1 are mounted on the anvil mounting bases 4.2, and each anvil 4.1 corresponds to one of the cutter 2.1 modules 2. In use, the rootstock 5 and scion 6 are fixed between the anvils 4.1 and the cutter 2.1 module 2. Driven by the first linear drive mechanism 3, the cutter 2.1 module 2 moves toward the anvils 4.1, thereby cutting the rootstock 5 and scion 6.

[0026] Preferably, the shearing device further includes a second linear drive mechanism 7, which drives the anvil mounting base 4.2 to reciprocate. The second linear drive mechanism 7 can push the anvil 4.1 to a position close to the rootstock 5 and scion 6, and then, after shearing, return the rootstock 5 and scion 6 to an appropriate position, facilitating the removal or placement of the rootstock 5 and scion 6. The second linear drive mechanism 7 can be a cylinder, linear motor, gear and rack mechanism, lead screw and nut mechanism, etc.

[0027] Preferably, the cutting board 4.1 is slidably mounted on the cutting board mounting base 4.2, and an elastic element (not shown) is also provided between the cutting board 4.1 and the cutting board mounting base 4.2. The elastic element allows the cutting board 4.1 to adaptively retract when impacted by the cutting blade 2.1, which helps to completely cut without sticking. The elastic element can be a conventional elastic mechanism such as a coil spring or a soft pad.

[0028] The working principle of the shearing device of this utility model is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the two cutters 2.1 of the cutting module 2 perform oblique cuts on the overlapping portion of the rootstock 5 and the scion 6. This innovative cutting method allows for simultaneous cutting of the rootstock 1 and scion 2 in situ, with the oblique cuts automatically aligning with each other, facilitating the subsequent application of clamps (not shown). This cutting method is completely different from existing techniques that involve separately cutting the rootstock 1 and scion 2 and then moving them to appropriate positions for positioning and fixation.

[0029] This invention creatively allows for the simultaneous cutting of rootstock 5 and scion 6, especially the cutting of the overlapping portion of rootstock 5 and scion 6, ensuring that the cut rootstock 5 and scion 6 have corresponding oblique cuts. Moreover, it can simultaneously cut multiple rootstock 5 and multiple scion 6, not only efficiently cutting rootstock 5 and scion 6, but also allowing the cut rootstock 5 and scion 6 to be directly clamped and fixed using clamps to complete the grafting operation.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other. The present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above; these embodiments are merely illustrative and not limiting. Those skilled in the art, under the guidance of the present invention, can make many modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all such modifications fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
