Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Buddha's Hand planting and cultivation technology, and in particular to a Buddha's Hand planting and cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] Buddha's Hand, a plant belonging to the genus Citrus in the family Rutaceae, is widely used in horticulture and Chinese medicinal herb production due to its unique fruit shape, rich aroma, and high medicinal and ornamental value. In the propagation of Buddha's Hand, cutting propagation is a commonly used method, which has the advantages of being easy to operate, having a high survival rate, and maintaining the excellent traits of the parent plant.

[0003] Currently, in actual production, Buddha's Hand cuttings are mostly propagated using traditional manual methods, which involve inserting the treated cuttings into containers or seedbeds filled with seedling substrate and maintaining appropriate humidity through regular manual watering.

[0004] Traditional cutting propagation methods rely on extensive irrigation, resulting in uneven water distribution. This can easily lead to localized overwatering, causing cuttings to rot, or making it difficult for cuttings to root in arid areas. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the existing technology where extensive irrigation leads to uneven water distribution, which can easily cause localized overwatering and rot of cuttings or make it difficult for cuttings to root in arid areas. Therefore, this invention proposes a Buddha's Hand planting and cutting propagation device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A Buddha's Hand citron planting and cutting propagation device includes a barrel body with cutting holes spaced apart along the circumference. A guide pipe is fixedly installed inside the barrel body, and water-permeable holes are fixedly installed at intervals on the guide pipe. The device also includes a cover plate that is fastened to the barrel body, a water chamber fixedly installed on the cover plate, a sealing cap threaded onto the water chamber, and a sealed connection between the water chamber and the guide pipe. A water inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the sealing cap for connecting to an external water source.

[0008] To extend the water flow path and improve the uniformity of water distribution, the guide pipe is preferably spiral in shape.

[0009] To enable modular installation, preferably, a flexible hose is fixedly installed at one end of the guide pipe near the water chamber, and the flexible hose is threadedly connected to the water outlet of the water chamber.

[0010] In order to perform preliminary filtration of the irrigation water before it enters the diversion pipe, preferably, the water chamber is filled with filter media.

[0011] To simulate the root distribution direction of plants under natural growth conditions, preferably, the cutting holes are set at an angle, and a guide sleeve is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the barrel corresponding to the cutting holes.

[0012] To support the upper seedling substrate and achieve good drainage and aeration, a grid plate is further fixedly installed at the bottom of the barrel.

[0013] To further guide the water seeping from the diversion pipe to different areas and improve irrigation uniformity, diversion blocks are fixedly installed on the grid plate.

[0014] To provide additional height and enhance overall stability, preferably, pads are fixedly installed at the bottom of the barrel.

[0015] To collect excess water or prevent liquid spillage, the foot is further provided with a mounting groove, and a water receiving tray is provided in the mounting groove.

[0016] To assist users in easily moving the entire cutting device, a handle is further rotatably installed on the barrel.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a Buddha's Hand planting and cutting propagation device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This Buddha's Hand planting and cutting device ensures a reasonable spacing between cuttings through evenly distributed cutting holes around the circumference, avoiding mutual shading that affects ventilation and light. Water in the water chamber flows into the spiral guide tube through a flexible tube, flows slowly in the guide tube and gradually seeps into the seedling substrate through the permeable holes on its surface, forming a stable and moist rooting environment. The spiral guide tube design effectively extends the water flow path, making the water distribution more even, while avoiding the problem of cutting rot caused by local water accumulation.

[0019] 2. This Buddha's Hand planting and cutting device, by installing the water collection tray on the feet, not only protects the surrounding environment from water damage, but also provides convenient conditions for subsequent cleaning. In addition, the presence of the feet leaves a certain gap between the bottom of the bucket and the ground, which is conducive to air circulation and further improves the root growth environment.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Example

[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 A Buddha's Hand citron propagation device includes a barrel 100 with circumferentially spaced cutting holes 110 for inserting pre-cut Buddha's Hand citron cuttings. A guide pipe 120 is fixedly installed inside the barrel 100. Specifically, the guide pipe 120 is spirally shaped to extend the water flow path and improve the uniformity of water distribution. The guide pipe 120 has spaced permeable holes 121 fixedly installed to ensure that water slowly permeates into the seedling substrate. The device also includes a connection between the barrel and the container. A cover plate 200 is fastened to the body 100. A water chamber 210 is fixedly installed on the cover plate 200 for buffering irrigation water. A sealing cover 220 is threaded on the water chamber 210. The water chamber 210 is sealed to the guide pipe 120. Preferably, a hose 130 is fixedly installed at the end of the guide pipe 120 near the water chamber 210. The hose 130 is threaded to the water outlet end of the water chamber 210. An inlet pipe 230 is fixedly installed on the sealing cover 220 for connecting to an external water source.

[0029] This utility model provides a Buddha's Hand planting and cutting device. The prepared Buddha's Hand cuttings are inserted into the cutting holes 110 along the upper edge of the barrel 100. The ends of the cuttings extend into the seedling substrate filled inside the barrel 100. Since the cutting holes 110 are evenly distributed around the circumference, a reasonable spacing between the cuttings can be ensured, avoiding mutual shading and affecting ventilation and light. Water in the water chamber 210 flows into the spiral guide tube 120 through the hose 130. It flows slowly in the guide tube 120 and gradually seeps into the seedling substrate through the water permeable holes 121 on its surface, forming a stable and moist rooting environment. The design of the spiral guide tube 120 effectively extends the water flow path, making the water distribution more uniform, while avoiding the problem of local water accumulation causing the cuttings to rot.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 The water chamber 210 is filled with filter media for preliminary filtration of irrigation water before it enters the diversion pipe 120.

[0031] With the above-mentioned structure, the filter media intercepts and adsorbs silt, suspended solids, algae and other impurities in the irrigation water, preventing these impurities from entering the diversion pipe 120 with the water flow, reducing the accumulation of sediment inside the diversion pipe 120 and extending the service life of the entire irrigation system.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 The cutting hole 110 is inclined, preferably forming an angle between 15° and 45° with the horizontal plane. A guide sleeve 140 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the barrel 100 corresponding to the cutting hole 110. Its axis direction is consistent with the cutting hole 110, and it is used to guide the cutting to be inserted into the seedling substrate at a set angle.

[0033] With the above-described structure, the cutting hole 110 is no longer vertically positioned but tilted at a certain angle. This simulates the root distribution direction under natural plant growth conditions, which facilitates better water and nutrient absorption after the cutting has rooted and enhances the stability of the cutting in the substrate. The guide sleeve 140 is made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, PVC, or ABS plastic, with a smooth interior and a certain length to ensure the cutting maintains a stable posture during insertion, avoiding displacement, bending, or damage. The guide sleeve 140 is coaxially arranged with the cutting hole 110, forming a complete cutting introduction channel.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 A grid plate 150 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank 100 to support the upper seedling substrate and achieve good drainage and ventilation. Furthermore, a guide block 160 is fixedly installed on the grid plate 150 to guide the water seeping from the guide pipe 120 to different areas and improve irrigation uniformity.

[0035] With the above-described structure, when irrigation water seeps out from the permeable holes 121 on the guide pipe 120, it first falls onto the surface of the guide block 160. Because the guide block 160 has a certain tilt angle and water-distributing structure, the water flow is effectively dispersed in multiple directions, wetting the entire seedling substrate. Simultaneously, excess water continues to seep downwards, flowing through the pores of the grid plate 150 into the bottom of the tank 100, and finally draining through the bottom drain outlet, maintaining good drainage.

[0036] Reference Figures 1-3 The bottom of the container 100 is fixedly equipped with feet 170 to provide additional height and enhance overall stability. The feet 170 have mounting grooves 171, within which a water tray 180 is installed. With this structure, when watering or fertilizing the plants inside the container 100, if improper water control leads to leakage or over-watering, the excess liquid will first be collected by the water tray 180. Because the water tray 180 is located within the mounting groove 171 on the feet 170, it can be firmly held in its predetermined position and will not easily move. This not only protects the surrounding environment from water damage but also facilitates subsequent cleaning. Furthermore, the presence of the feet 170 creates a gap between the bottom of the container 100 and the ground, promoting air circulation and further improving the root growth environment.

[0037] To collect excess water or prevent liquid from overflowing.

[0038] Reference Figures 1-3 A handle 190 is rotatably mounted on the barrel 100 to assist users in conveniently moving the entire cutting device. The handle 190 can be folded and can be folded into the side of the barrel 100 when not in use to save space; when in use, it can be rotated out for easy gripping and lifting.

[0039] With the above-described structure, when a user needs to move the cutting device containing the seedling substrate and cuttings, they only need to rotate the handle 190 outward from the side of the container 100 to a suitable angle, and then they can hold it for carrying or dragging. If the device is heavy, the bottom pads 170 can be used to provide leverage assistance, reducing the difficulty of carrying. When not in use, the handle 190 can be retracted along the rotation axis and fit against the outer wall of the container 100, maintaining a neat appearance and preventing scratches to other equipment or personnel.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
