AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional tools are labor-intensive, inefficient, and can easily damage the mother plant and suckers when digging out banana suckers, resulting in a low survival rate.

Method used

A tool comprising an operating lever, a root-digging pliers device, and a digging shovel was designed. The root-digging pliers device uses a pushing mechanism to close the pliers heads and cut the root system. The digging shovel is inserted into the soil to pry up the suckers. The operating lever is connected by a carbon fiber rod and equipped with a protective sleeve to simplify the operation process.

Benefits of technology

It reduced labor intensity, improved digging efficiency, reduced damage to the mother plant and suckers, and increased the survival rate of suckers.

Abstract

The utility model relates to a wild and sibling banana bud suction digging tool which comprises an operating rod, a root digging clamp device is arranged at one end of the operating rod, and a digging shovel is arranged at the other end of the operating rod. The root digging clamp device comprises a fixing shaft and a pair of root digging clamp heads hinged to the front end of the fixing shaft, the hinged portion of the two root digging clamp heads is provided with clamp handles extending backwards in an inclined mode, and the fixing shaft is provided with a pushing mechanism used for pushing the two clamp handles to be opened outwards so that the two root digging clamp heads can be folded. The wild and sibling banana suction bud digging tool is reasonable in design, convenient, labor-saving and easy to operate, labor intensity is reduced, digging efficiency is improved, stock plants and banana suction buds are not prone to damage, and the survival rate of the suction buds after collection and transplantation is improved.
