Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedling transplanting technology, specifically a seedling transplanting device for afforestation. Background Technology
[0002] Transplanting of afforestation seedlings is a process of transferring seedlings from their original growing area to the afforestation site through scientific operations. Its core objective is to ensure the survival rate of seedlings, promote growth, and achieve afforestation results. Afforestation seedling transplanting equipment is a mechanized device specifically designed for artificial afforestation, greening projects, and other scenarios. It is mainly used to complete the transplanting process of seedlings from nurseries or seedling beds to afforestation sites in a standardized manner, ensuring the survival rate of seedlings.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese utility model patent, CN222564647U, which discloses a seedling transplanting device for afforestation. The device includes a first covering plate and a second covering plate. A first inner ring and a second inner ring are positioned at the center of a disc-like structure formed by the first and second covering plates, used to surround the seedling. The first inner ring is fixedly connected to the first covering plate, and the second inner ring is fixedly connected to the second covering plate. A first outer ring is fixed to the upper surface of the first covering plate, and the first outer ring is concentrically arranged with the first inner ring. A second outer ring is fixed to the upper surface of the second covering plate, and the second outer ring is concentrically arranged with the second inner ring. Multiple first drainage holes are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the first covering plate, and multiple second drainage holes are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the second covering plate. This utility model has the following beneficial effects: it achieves the goal of maintaining the temperature and humidity around the seedling roots without affecting water replenishment around the seedling roots, thus improving the efficiency of water replenishment.
[0004] However, the device lacks the function of assisting in straightening seedlings. When using the device, the traditional method is adopted: the seedling is held by hand and soil is filled in, and then a covering board is placed to maintain the temperature and humidity of the seedling roots. The seedling needs to be held while filling in the soil, which makes the operation inconvenient. In addition, the seedlings that have just been transplanted have not yet taken root and lack an auxiliary straightening structure. The seedlings are easy to tilt, which leads to the root exposure and death, reducing the survival rate. Utility Model Content

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:
[0023] A seedling transplanting device for afforestation includes a bottom ring 1, a bottom ring 2 abutting against the outer surface of the bottom ring 1, a support 3 fixedly connected to the top of the bottom ring 1, a support 4 fixedly connected to the top of the bottom ring 2, a locking strip 5 slidably connected inside the support 3 and the support 4, a placement cylinder 6 fixedly connected to the end of the locking strip 5 away from the support 3, a top ring 7 fixedly connected to the top of the support 3, a top ring 8 fixedly connected to the top of the support 4, a spring buckle 9 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bottom ring 1 near the bottom ring 2, the side of the spring buckle 9 away from the bottom ring 1 abutting against the bottom ring 2, and a spring buckle 10 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top ring 7 near the top ring 8. A straightening block 21 is fixedly connected between ring 7 and top ring 8. In use, place the seedling in the placement cylinder 6, align the two bottom rings and the top ring, install the placement cylinder 6 on the support, close the spring clips, transport the seedling to the afforestation site, remove the entire device and place it on the ground, lift the placement cylinder 6, separate the two placement cylinders to the sides, and the seedling and soil bag fall into the planting pit. Fill the planting pit with soil. The straightening block inside the top ring presses against the outside of the seedling to assist in straightening it. Before the seedling survives and takes root, the straightening block straightens the seedling to prevent root exposure and death due to the seedling tipping over, thus improving the seedling survival rate. One of the two placement cylinders has a protruding positioning block, and the other has a positioning groove. The positioning block is inserted into the positioning groove (e.g., ...). Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the two placement cylinders are aligned and stably connected. Both bottom rings and two top rings are equipped with positioning blocks and positioning grooves, which are not marked in the figure. In addition, the straightening block 21 has two semi-ring parts that are combined to form a ring and are placed between the two top rings. It is made of silicone and its inner surface is in contact with the outer surface of the seedling to prevent the seedling from tilting. Because it is a soft material, it will not damage the seedling when it is encircled, thus helping to straighten the seedling and improve its survival rate.
[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, both bottom ring 1 and bottom ring 2 are hollow, and both bottom ring 1 and bottom ring 2 are provided with a plurality of water holes 11. A water pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of bottom ring 2. In use, water is injected into the bottom ring through the water pipe 12, and the water leaks evenly to the periphery of the seedling through the water holes 11. If watering is required when the sun is in direct sunlight, the above structure can prevent damage to the seedlings that are photosynthesizing due to splashing water. In particular, after the two bottom rings are fixed, they support the top structure and help to straighten the seedlings, and facilitate even watering.
[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, the placement cylinder 6 includes a placement cylinder one 13, and a placement cylinder two 14 abuts against the outer surface of the placement cylinder one 13 near the center of the bottom ring one 1. In use, the seedling with the root system and soil bag is placed into the aligned placement cylinder 6, the placement cylinder 6 is installed on the support, and when it arrives at the afforestation site, the two placement cylinders are separated to the sides, and the seedling and soil bag fall into the planting pit. The two placement cylinders are symmetrically arranged to facilitate the protection of the seedling root system and soil bag, and at the same time, it is convenient to separate the seedling and put it into the planting pit without the need to take the seedling out of the transport container in the traditional way, thus avoiding the soil bag from breaking or fertilizer attached to the soil bag from being left in the container.
[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, a sliding groove 15 is provided on the bracket 1 3, a return spring 16 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the sliding groove 15, a pressure plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the return spring 16, a retaining strip 5 is abutted against the bottom of the pressure plate 17, a sliding groove 2 18 is provided on the inner side wall of the sliding groove 15, and the sliding groove 2 18 extends through the bracket 1 3 to its outer side, one end of the pressure plate 17 is inserted into the sliding groove 2 18 and extends from the sliding groove 2 18 to the outer side of the bracket 1 3, and the pressure plate 17 can slide up and down along the inner wall of the sliding groove 2 18, and a push rod 19 is fixedly connected to the side of the pressure plate 17 away from the return spring 16.
[0027] In use, place the seedlings with soil around their roots into the aligned placement cylinder 6, aligning the two bottom rings and the top ring. The seedling should now be positioned between the two top rings. Push the push rod 19 upwards, compressing the return spring 16 and moving the pressure plate 17 upwards. Align the locking strip 5 with the opening of the chute. Install the placement cylinder 6 onto the support, close the spring latch, transport the seedlings to the afforestation site, remove the entire device and place it on the ground. Lift the placement cylinder 6; the return spring 16 will be compressed until the locking strip 5 slides to the top opening of the chute. Two placement cylinders are separated on both sides. The seedlings and soil mounds fall into the planting pits, and soil is filled into the planting pits. The straightening block inside the top ring holds against the outside of the seedling to help straighten it. Before the seedlings survive and take root, the straightening block straightens the seedlings to prevent the roots from being exposed and dying due to the seedlings falling over, thus improving the survival rate of the seedlings. Among them, the reset spring 16 and the pressure plate 17 are always pressed against the locking strip 5. When it is necessary to remove the placement cylinder 6, the spring force is overcome by manpower. When no manpower is used, the locking strip 5 is tightly fixed to prevent the placement cylinder from falling off accidentally.
[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, the bracket 24 is provided with a sliding groove 3 20, and the inner wall of the sliding groove 3 20 is slidably connected to the locking strip 5. When the placement tube is put in and taken out, the locking strip 5 also slides on the inner wall of the sliding groove 3 20.

The upper and lower pressure plates 17 are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the push rod 19 on the side away from the return spring 16. Both the upper and lower ends of the second bracket 4 are provided with sliding groove 3 20, so as to ensure that both the upper and lower locking strips 5 can slide up and down and slide out laterally. The design of the upper and lower locking strips 5 can ensure the support stability of the placement cylinder 6. At the same time, locking strips 5 are provided on both the first placement cylinder 13 and the second placement cylinder 14, which can facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the first placement cylinder 13 and the second placement cylinder 14.
[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, the cross-sectional view of the placement cylinder 6 is V-shaped. When in use, the seedlings with roots and soil bags are placed into the aligned placement cylinder 6 and the seedlings are transported to the afforestation site. The shape of the placement cylinder 6 is designed to securely place the seedlings and root soil bags, thus protecting the root system.
[0031] Working principle: In this embodiment, a seedling transplanting device for afforestation is used to place seedlings with soil around their roots into the aligned placement cylinder 6, aligning the two bottom rings and the top ring. At this time, the seedling is located between the two top rings. Pushing the push rod 19 upward compresses the return spring 16, and the pressure plate 17 moves upward, aligning the locking strip 5 with the opening of the chute. The placement cylinder 6 is then installed on the support, the spring latch is closed, and the seedling is transported to the afforestation site. The entire device is then removed and placed on the ground. The placement cylinder 6 is lifted, and the return spring 16 is compressed until the locking strip 5 slides to the top opening of the chute, separating the two placement cylinders to the sides. The seedling and soil fall into the planting pit, and soil is filled into the planting pit. The straightening block in the top ring presses against the outside of the seedling to help straighten it. Before the seedling survives and takes root, the straightening block straightens the seedling to prevent the roots from being exposed and dying due to the seedling tilting over. Water is injected into the bottom ring through the water pipe 12, and the water leaks evenly to the area around the seedling through the water hole 11.
