A pruning device for planting bell peppers

Abstract

This utility model discloses a pruning device for bell pepper cultivation, belonging to the field of bell pepper cultivation technology. The pruning device includes scissors, a handle, a stop block, a limiting mechanism, and a merging mechanism. One end of each of the two scissors is connected by a pivot. This utility model, with its scissors, handle, and stop block, is compact and easy to carry. Two fixing rings are respectively fitted onto the user's thumb and forefinger. During pruning, the user inserts their hand into the pruning position and presses down with their thumb and forefinger to prune the target branch with the two scissors. This avoids the problem of existing scissors being too long, which is problematic for bell peppers with many branches and alternate single leaves, leading to excessive pruning and hindering bell pepper growth.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bell pepper planting technology, and more specifically, to a pruning device for bell pepper planting. Background Technology

[0002] Bell peppers are a very nutritious vegetable and a popular choice for home gardens. Before propagating them as seedlings, they need to be grown from seeds. There are many methods for seed propagation, including stem cuttings and potted plants. When cultivating seedlings, it's important to provide sufficient light and water to ensure healthy growth. During the growth period, some unwanted branches will grow, affecting the yield and quality of the bell peppers. Therefore, pruning is necessary to remove these unwanted branches. However, excessive pruning should be avoided to prevent hindering the overall growth of the bell peppers.

[0003] The existing bell peppers have many branches and alternate, single leaves, which requires special care during pruning to avoid cutting off the main branches. However, most existing bell pepper pruning devices use scissors, but the existing scissors are too long. Since bell peppers have many branches and alternate, the scissors can easily cut too much at once when inserted into the bell pepper leaves, resulting in over-pruning and affecting the growth of bell peppers.

[0014] 3. Beneficial effects

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This utility model features a compact and portable design with scissor blades, a handle, and a stop block. Two fixing rings are respectively placed on the user's thumb and forefinger. During pruning, the user inserts their hand into the pruning position and presses with their thumb and forefinger to make the two scissor blades cut the target branch.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] A pruning device for bell pepper cultivation includes pruning blades 1, handrails 2, blocking blocks 4, limiting mechanisms 5, and merging mechanisms 7. One end of two pruning blades 1 is connected by a rotating shaft, and the end of the pruning blade 1 near the rotating shaft is rounded. The handrails 2 are located at the front and rear ends of the two pruning blades 1 respectively, and one end of the handrails 2 is rotatably connected to the side of the pruning blade 1 via the rotating shaft. The blocking blocks 4 are located on the front and rear sides of the pruning blades 1, the limiting mechanisms 5 are located on the front and rear sides of the pruning blades 1, and the merging mechanism 7 is located on the front side of the connection point of the rotating shafts of the two pruning blades 1.

[0029] Specifically, the limiting mechanism 5 includes a fixing bar 52, an adjusting rod 51, a slider 53, and a first spring 54. The fixing bar 52 is fixed to the opposite side of the two shear plates 1. One end of the adjusting rod 51 is rotatably connected to one end of the handrail 2 via a pivot, and the other end of the adjusting rod 51 is fixed to the side of the slider 53 via a pivot. The slider 53 is located inside the fixing bar 52, and the fixing bar 52 has a groove for cooperating with the slider 53. The slider 53 slides inside the groove. The first spring 54 is located inside the fixing bar 52. One end of the first spring 54 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixing bar 52, and the other end of the first spring 54 is fixed to the side of the slider 53. One end of the stop block 4 is fixed to the side of the fixing bar 52. The limiting mechanism 5 allows the handrail 2 to unfold, making it convenient for the user to insert their fingers into the fixing ring 3.

[0030] Furthermore, the merging mechanism 7 includes a fixing block 6, a second spring 72, and a buckle 71. One end of the fixing block 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the arc of the cutter 1. The second spring 72 and the buckle 71 are located inside the left fixing block 6. A slot is opened inside the right fixing block 6. One end of the second spring 72 is fixedly connected to the buckle 71, and the other end of the second spring 72 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the left fixing block 6. The end of the buckle 71 away from the second spring 72 extends into the slot. After the two cutters 1 are merged, they can be fixed by the merging mechanism 7 to prevent them from opening during carrying.

[0031] It is worth noting that a hanging ring 9 is fixed to the front side of the fixing block 6, and the user can hang the utility model in a certain place by hanging the hanging ring 9.

[0032] It is worth noting that a slide rod 8 is fixedly connected inside the fixing strip 52. One end of the slide rod 8 passes through to the outside of the slider 53 and is fixed to the inner wall of the fixing strip 52. The first spring 54 is sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 8 to limit the movement position of the slider 53 and prevent the slider 53 from being dislodged from the groove by the pressure.

[0033] In addition, a retaining ring 3 is fixed to the end of the armrest 2 away from the pivot of the shear blade 1, which can fit around the user's thumb and index finger, making it convenient for the user to apply pressure.

[0034] It must be said that the two shearing blades 1 are fixed with a pointed block 10 at one end away from the arc, which makes it easy for the user to clamp out the cut branches.

[0035] Working principle: The user places their thumb and forefinger around the fixing ring 3, then opens the handle 2 to unfold the two scissor blades 1. The user then inserts the scissor blades 1 into the target branch. Subsequently, the user closes the handle 2. During the closing process, the handle 2 drives the adjusting rod 51 to move via the pivot. The movement of the adjusting rod 51 drives the slider 53 to move. The movement of the slider 53 compresses the first spring 54. During the movement, the adjusting rod 51 encounters the resistance block 4, which causes the scissor blades 1 to move. The two scissor blades 1 then merge and cut off the branch. After cutting, the user can use the clamping block to hold the cut branch and remove it, thus completing the operation. During storage, the user increases the friction between the two scissor blades 1 by using the second spring 72, the buckle 71, and the slot, thus completing the operation.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
