Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model is a seedling root protection device, belonging to the forestry field. Background Technology
[0002] Air-based root control is a technique that uses physical intervention to regulate the growth of seedling roots. It primarily utilizes the pruning effect of air on exposed roots to inhibit excessive taproot growth and promote the development of fibrous roots, thereby cultivating seedlings with well-developed root systems and high transplant survival rates. Perforated containers, commonly used for root control, are typically made of one-piece molded plastic with multiple ventilation holes on the bottom and sides. However, their structural design has significant flaws during seedling transplanting: as seedlings grow, fibrous roots extend outward through the ventilation holes and become entangled, especially forming a dense network at the edge of the holes. This increases resistance when removing the seedling, making the roots easily damaged during forced separation. Furthermore, the high breakage rate at the edges of the ventilation holes affects the reusability of the containers, thus increasing seedling production costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a seedling root protection device to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. This utility model realizes the formation of a perforated container for seedling cultivation by assembly, and the container can be disassembled one by one to prevent damage to the seedling root system and the perforated container.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a seedling root protection device, comprising a base, a top ring on the top of the base, multiple strips forming a cylindrical structure between the top ring and the base, multiple side holes evenly distributed on one side of each strip, multiple bottom holes evenly distributed at the bottom of the base, a bottom ring fitted onto the base and fixed to it, a lower retaining ring on the lower side of the bottom ring, three support rods equidistantly mounted in a ring on the lower surface of the lower retaining ring, a lower ear plate mounted on the lower end of each strip, multiple lower column heads equidistantly mounted in a ring on the upper surface of the lower retaining ring, the lower column heads penetrating the bottom ring and the lower retaining ring, a ring fitted onto the top ring and fixed to it, an upper retaining ring on the upper side of the ring, multiple upper column heads equidistantly mounted in a ring on the lower surface of the upper retaining ring, an upper ear plate fixed to the upper end of each strip, and the upper column heads penetrating the ring and the upper ear plate.
[0005] Furthermore, the upper surface of the bottom ring is provided with a plurality of small holes that mate with the lower pin head in an annular pattern, and the upper surface of the lower ear plate is provided with a lower pin hole that mates with the small holes. The upper end of the lower pin head passes through the channel formed by the first small hole and the lower pin hole.
[0006] Furthermore, the upper surface of the ring is provided with a plurality of second small holes at equal intervals in a ring shape, the upper surface of the upper ear plate is provided with an upper pin hole that matches the second small holes, and the lower end of the upper column head passes through the channel formed by the second small holes and the upper pin hole.
[0007] Furthermore, a water collection tray is provided directly below the chassis, and three plug-in sleeves are installed in a ring at equal intervals at the bottom of the water collection tray. The lower ends of the three support rods are respectively inserted into the three plug-in sleeves, and the inner diameter of the water collection tray is larger than the outer diameter of the top ring.
[0008] Furthermore, two symmetrically arranged gripping ears are installed on the outer surface of the top ring, and the gripping ears and the top ring are integrally formed.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper ear plate and the strip are integrally formed, and the lower ear plate and the strip are integrally formed.
[0010] Furthermore, the lower surface of the upper retaining ring is provided with a plurality of upper blind holes at equal intervals in a ring shape, and one end of the upper post head is glued into the upper blind holes. The upper surface of the lower retaining ring is provided with a plurality of lower blind holes at equal intervals in a ring shape, and one end of the lower post head is glued into the lower blind holes.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. Multiple strips forming a cylindrical structure are installed between the top ring and the base. The structure formed by the upper column head and the upper retaining ring restricts the relative position of the strips to the top ring, and the structure formed by the lower column head and the lower retaining ring restricts the relative position of the strips to the base. Thus, multiple components work together to form a porous container. When removing the seedling from the porous container, the top ring is removed first, and then the strips are removed one by one. Compared with a porous container with an integral structure, the resistance to separating the seedling from the porous container is reduced, preventing damage to the seedling roots and the perforated container.
[0013] 2. Insert the three support rods into the three plug-in sleeves respectively to keep the relative position of the base and the water collection tray unchanged. This way, excess water will be collected into the water collection tray during watering, preventing excess water from flowing away at will. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a seedling root protection device, including a base plate 1, a top ring 14 is provided on the top of the base plate 1, and two symmetrically arranged gripping ears 4 are installed on the outer surface of the top ring 14. The gripping ears 4 and the top ring 14 are integrally formed, and the gripping ears 4 serve to provide a gripping carrier.
[0022] See Figures 1-4 Multiple strips 2 forming a cylindrical structure are provided between the top ring 14 and the base plate 1. Multiple side holes 3 are evenly opened on one side of the strips 2. Multiple bottom holes 19 are evenly opened on the bottom of the base plate 1. A bottom ring 20 connected and fixed to the base plate 1 is fitted on the base plate 1. A lower retaining ring 9 is provided on the lower side of the bottom ring 20. Three support rods 8 are installed in a ring at equal intervals on the lower surface of the lower retaining ring 9. A lower ear plate 13 is installed at the lower end of the strips 2. The lower ear plate 13 and the strips 2 are integrally formed. The upper surface of the lower retaining ring 9... Multiple blind holes, arranged in a ring at equal intervals, each contain a lower pin 12 glued in place. The lower pin 12 passes through the bottom ring 20 and the lower retaining ring 9. The upper surface of the bottom ring 20 has multiple small holes arranged in a ring at equal intervals to mate with the lower pin 12. The upper surface of the lower ear plate 13 has a lower pin hole 17 that mates with the small holes. This allows the upper end of the lower pin 12 to pass through the channel formed by the first small hole 18 and the lower pin hole 17, which helps to restrict the relative positions of the strip 2, the lower retaining ring 9, and the top ring 14.
[0023] See Figures 1-4A ring 21 is fitted onto the top ring 14 and fixed to it. An upper retaining ring 5 is provided on the upper side of the ring 21. Multiple upper blind holes, arranged in a ring at equal intervals on the lower surface of the upper retaining ring 5, each contain an upper pin 7 glued to it. An upper ear plate 6 is fixed to the upper end of the strip 2. The upper ear plate 6 and the strip 2 are integrally formed. The upper pin 7 passes through the ring 21 and the upper ear plate 6. Multiple second small holes 15 are arranged in a ring at equal intervals on the upper surface of the ring 21. An upper pin hole 16, matching the second small holes 15, is provided on the upper surface of the upper ear plate 6, allowing the lower end of the upper pin 7 to pass through the channel formed by the second small holes 15 and the upper pin hole 16, thus facilitating the restriction of the strip. 2. The relative positions of the lower retaining ring 9 and the base plate 1: Multiple strips 2 forming a cylindrical structure are set between the top ring 14 and the base plate 1. The structure formed by the upper column head 7 and the upper retaining ring 5 restricts the relative positions of the strips 2 and the top ring 14, and the structure formed by the lower column head 12 and the lower retaining ring 9 restricts the relative positions of the strips 2 and the base plate 1. Thus, multiple components together form a porous container. When removing the seedling from the porous container, the top ring 14 is removed first, and then the strips 2 are removed one by one. Compared with the porous container with an integral structure, the resistance to separating the seedling from the porous container is reduced, preventing damage to the seedling roots and the perforated container.
[0024] See Figures 1-3 A water collection tray 11 is provided directly below the chassis 1. Three plug-in sleeves 10 are installed in a ring at equal intervals at the bottom of the water collection tray 11. The lower ends of the three support rods 8 are respectively inserted into the three plug-in sleeves 10. The inner diameter of the water collection tray 11 is larger than the outer diameter of the top ring 14, so that the three support rods 8 are respectively inserted into the three plug-in sleeves 10, thereby keeping the relative position of the chassis 1 and the water collection tray 11 unchanged. In this way, excess water during watering will be collected into the water collection tray 11, preventing excess water from flowing out at will.
