Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of digging tools, and in particular to a tool for digging up suckers of wild and closely related banana species. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the significant differences between the unique geographical environment in which wild banana resources grow and the conventional cultivation environment, coupled with the special characteristics of wild banana suckers, the survival rate is less than 30% if conventional cultivation methods are followed without pre-planting treatment. This is because wild banana species grow in dark, damp environments, resulting in weak suckers with high water content. Wild banana sucker germination is also more random and fewer in number (energy allocation is biased towards sexual reproduction), and the root system is messy, requiring the removal of connected roots and weak suckers. Cultivated bananas, on the other hand, rely on artificial selection of varieties with vigorous suckers. The sucker and root structure of wild bananas enable them to reproduce and expand rapidly in tropical rainforests, while also enhancing their survival competitiveness through root symbiosis. These characteristics also provide important genetic resources for modern banana breeding (such as disease resistance and stress resistance genes).

[0003] Suckers are small banana plants, tightly connected to the roots of the mother plant at the base and emerging from the ground at the top. Banana seedling removal involves separating the suckers from the mother plant at the root, while preserving the sucker's roots for timely transplanting to another location. Traditionally, this is done using shovels or crowbars. However, because suckers have many roots connected to the mother plant, using only shovels or crowbars is labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to damaging the mother plant. It's also easy to misjudge the location or depth, frequently damaging the suckers. Therefore, this method has many shortcomings and potential risks. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a convenient, labor-saving, and easy-to-operate tool for digging up wild and closely related banana suckers, which reduces labor intensity, improves digging efficiency, and is less likely to damage the mother plant and banana suckers.

[0006] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a slide groove formed on a fixed shaft and parallel to the axial direction of the fixed shaft. A slider that can slide relative to the slide groove is provided at the rear of the slide groove. A connecting rod is connected between the slider and the two clamp handles respectively. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively hinged to the clamp handles and the slider. A foot pedal is also fixedly connected to the slider.

[0007] Furthermore, the groove is provided with a reset spring for pushing the slider to slide backward and reset.

[0008] Furthermore, the operating lever is composed of several sections of carbon fiber rods connected together. One end of the carbon fiber rod is provided with a threaded hole, and the other end is provided with a threaded connector that can be connected to the threaded hole.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0019] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a tool for digging up suckers of wild and closely related banana species includes an operating rod 100. One end of the operating rod is equipped with a root-digging clamp device 200, and the other end is equipped with a digging shovel 300. The root-digging clamp device 200 includes a fixed shaft 210 and a pair of root-digging clamp heads 220 hinged to the front end of the fixed shaft. The hinged portion of the two root-digging clamp heads has a clamp handle 230 extending obliquely backward. The fixed shaft is equipped with a pushing mechanism for pushing the two clamp handles outward to close the two root-digging clamp heads. This utility model of a tool for digging up suckers of wild and closely related banana species features a root-digging clamp device at one end and a digging shovel at the other. The pushing mechanism pushes the two clamp handles outward, causing the two root-digging clamp heads at the front end to close and complete the cutting action. In use, the root-digging clamp device is first used to cut the root system between the banana sucker and the mother plant, and then the digging shovel is inserted into the soil to pry up the intact root ball and dig out the banana sucker. This tool for digging up banana suckers from wild and closely related species is reasonably designed, convenient, labor-saving, easy to operate, reduces labor intensity, improves digging efficiency, and is less likely to damage the mother plant and banana suckers, which helps to improve the survival rate of suckers after collection and transplanting.

[0021] Both wild banana species and closely related (cultivated) species have similar shapes and can be dug up using this tool.

[0022] In this embodiment, the pushing mechanism includes a groove 240 formed on a fixed shaft and parallel to the axial direction of the fixed shaft. A slider 250, capable of sliding relative to the groove, is provided at the rear of the groove. Connecting rods 260 are respectively connected between the slider and the two clamp handles. The two ends of the connecting rods are hinged to the clamp handles and the slider, respectively. A foot pedal 270 is also fixedly connected to the slider. Stepping on the foot pedal 270 causes the slider to slide forward, pushing the two clamp handles outward through the connecting rods on both sides, causing the two root-digging clamp heads at the front to close and complete the cutting action. The foot-operated structure makes operation more labor-saving and convenient.

[0023] In this embodiment, the slide groove is provided with a reset spring 280 for pushing the slider to slide back and reset. After the foot is released, the slider automatically slides back and resets under the action of the reset spring, and the two root digging pliers heads return to the open state. The spring force of the reset spring should not be set too large, just enough to satisfy the reset, to avoid excessive spring force causing too much effort when stepping.

[0024] In this embodiment, the operating rod 100 is composed of several sections of carbon fiber rods 110 connected together. One end of each carbon fiber rod has a threaded hole 111, and the other end has a threaded connector 112 that can mate with the threaded hole. The length of the operating rod is formed by splicing carbon fiber rods, which facilitates disassembly and storage. It also allows for adjustment of the operating rod length, making it suitable for sucker digging at different depths and for operators of different heights. The operating length can also be flexibly adjusted in complex terrain in the field.

[0025] In this embodiment, the rear end of the fixed shaft is provided with a threaded connector that can be connected to the threaded hole on the carbon fiber rod; the excavator 300 is composed of a connecting seat 310 and a blade 320, and the rear end of the connecting seat is provided with a threaded hole that can be connected to the threaded connector on the carbon fiber rod.

[0026] In this embodiment, a protective sleeve 400 is also included to cover the root-digging pliers device. The protective sleeve 400 has a tightening opening and a tightening strap at the tightening opening. The protective sleeve 400 can prevent people from being cut when it is easy to store and carry, thus improving safety.
