Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of seedling transplantation technology, specifically relating to a seedling transplantation auxiliary clamping device. Background Technology

[0002] Planting, or cultivation, encompasses the cultivation of various crops, trees, fruit trees, flowers, medicinal plants, and ornamental plants. This includes food crops, cash crops, vegetable crops, green manure crops, forage crops, and pasture grasses. The planting process typically involves directly planting seeds or first cultivating seedlings, which are then planted.

[0003] Currently, Chinese patent application number CN202220892618.3 discloses a seedling transplanting device, including two hinged connecting plates. A force-applying plate is fixed to one end of each connecting plate, away from each other. A return spring is fixed to the inner side of the force-applying plate near the connecting plate. A crescent-shaped clamping plate is fixed to the other end of the force-applying plate via an adjusting component. The two clamping plates can fit together, with the lower arc length of the clamping plate being less than the upper arc length. This device, through the compression of the two clamping plates, allows the soil around the seedling roots to adhere tightly to the seedling roots. Compared to the traditional method of digging up seedlings with a spoon, this solution allows for seedling removal through the relative movement of the clamping plates. Furthermore, during the movement of the clamping plates, the two plates compress the soil around the seedling roots, preventing the soil from easily detaching naturally.

[0004] Although the clamping plate can compress the soil around the seedling roots, it has significant drawbacks: it cannot adjust the clamping position according to the seedling height and lacks a three-dimensional protective structure for the seedlings, which makes the seedlings prone to breakage during transplanting due to unsuitable clamping height, affecting their growth and survival rate.

[0005] To address this, a seedling transplantation auxiliary clamping device is proposed. Utility Model Content

Torsion springs are fixedly connected to both sides of the clamping plate, and one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame. The torsion spring is used to bring the clamping plates closer together to clamp the seedling.

[0016] In the above-mentioned seedling transplanting auxiliary clamping device, a rubber buffer column is fixedly connected to the upper part of the clamping plate surface. The rubber buffer column is used to avoid pinching and damaging the seedling, and two clamping plates are symmetrically arranged.

[0017] In the above-mentioned seedling transplantation auxiliary clamping device, the fixing mechanism includes a through hole opened at the bottom of the base, and the bottom of the base is uniformly fixedly connected with insert rods, which are used to insert into the ground or a support to fix the base.

[0019] In the aforementioned seedling transplantation auxiliary clamping device, the arc of the protective clamping frame is consistent with the arc of the outer surface of the protective cylinder to ensure that the protective clamping frame and the protective cylinder fit tightly together.

[0020] In the above-mentioned seedling transplantation auxiliary clamping device, the clamping plate is rotatably connected to the fixing frame via the connecting rod, the clamping plate can rotate around the connecting rod to open or close, and the elastic force of the torsion spring keeps the clamping plate in a closed tendency.

[0021] In the above-mentioned seedling transplanting auxiliary clamping device, the through hole penetrates the bottom of the base for seedling root ventilation, and the number of the insertion rods is multiple, with the multiple insertion rods evenly distributed at the bottom of the base to improve the fixation stability.

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] Example

[0035] This embodiment provides a seedling transplantation auxiliary clamping device, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes: a protective cylinder 1, an adjusting mechanism 5, a clamping mechanism 6, and a fixing mechanism 7, wherein:

[0036] A base 2 is provided at the lower position of the surface of the protective cylinder 1, and a protective clamping frame 3 is provided on the outer surface of the protective cylinder 1. The protective clamping frame 3 has through grooves 4 evenly opened on its surface.

[0037] The adjustment mechanism 5 is located on the surface of the protective cylinder 1 and is used to adjust the height of the protective clamp 3;

[0038] The clamping mechanism 6 is located above the protective clamping frame 3 and is used to clamp seedlings of different heights;

[0039] The fixing mechanism 7 is set on the surface of the base 2 and is used to fix and support the base 2.

[0040] This seedling transplanting auxiliary clamping device forms a basic support structure through the cooperation of the protective cylinder 1 and the base 2. The protective clamping frame 3 is fitted onto the outer surface of the protective cylinder 1, and its surface groove 4 can realize ventilation and heat dissipation and observation of seedling growth status. The coordinated action of the adjustment mechanism 5, the clamping mechanism 6 and the fixing mechanism 7 enables the device to have height adjustment, seedling clamping and base fixing functions. The overall structure can adapt to the transplanting protection of seedlings of different heights and avoid seedling breakage.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 5 includes clamping frames 501 symmetrically arranged on the surface of the protective cylinder 1. The two clamping frames 501 are connected by a tension spring 502. The tension spring 502 is used to bring the two clamping frames 501 closer to each other and rub against the outer surface of the protective cylinder 1 to fix the height of the protective clamping frame 3. The symmetrically arranged clamping frames 501 in the adjustment mechanism 5 are elastically connected by the tension spring 502. When the tension spring 502 is stretched, it can drive the clamping frames 501 to move up and down. After release, the spring force drives the clamping frames 501 to press against the outer surface of the protective cylinder 1, and fixes the height of the protective clamping frame 3 by friction, realizing quick locking of height adjustment and improving the adaptability of the device.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, a protective clamping frame 3 is fixedly connected to the top of each clamping frame 501. The protective clamping frame 3 is arc-shaped and fits against the outer surface of the protective cylinder 1 to adapt to the shape of the protective cylinder 1. The arc-shaped protective clamping frame 3 fixed to the top of the clamping frame 501 fits against the outer surface of the protective cylinder 1. The arc-shaped structure can increase the contact area between the protective clamping frame 3 and the protective cylinder 1, enhance the friction fixing effect, and at the same time adapt to the shape of the cylindrical protective cylinder 1 to ensure the stability of the protective clamping frame 3 during the lifting process.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 6 includes a fixed frame 601 fixedly connected to the top of the protective clamping frame 3. A connecting rod 602 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame 601, and a clamping plate 603 is rotatably connected to the surface of the connecting rod 602. Torsion springs 604 are fixedly connected to both sides of the clamping plate 603. One end of the torsion spring 604 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame 601, and the torsion spring 604 is used to bring the clamping plates 603 closer together to clamp the seedling. In the clamping mechanism 6, the fixed frame 601 is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 603 through the connecting rod 602, and the elastic force of the torsion spring 604 drives the clamping plates 603 to rotate towards each other, forming an automatic clamping structure. This design can apply adaptive clamping force to seedlings of different thicknesses without the need for continuous manual force application, thus improving the convenience of transplanting operations.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, a rubber buffer post is fixedly connected to the upper part of the surface of the clamping plate 603. The rubber buffer post is used to prevent the seedling from being pinched and injured, and two clamping plates 603 are symmetrically arranged. The rubber buffer post on the upper part of the clamping plate 603 can buffer the clamping force through elastic deformation, avoiding mechanical damage to the seedling stem caused by hard clamping; the two clamping plates 603 are symmetrically arranged, which can apply the clamping force evenly, ensure the seedling is under balanced force, and further improve the protection effect.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing mechanism 7 includes a through hole 701 at the bottom of the base 2, and insert rods 702 are evenly fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 2. The insert rods 702 are used to insert into the ground or a support to fix the base 2. The insert rods 702 at the bottom of the base 2 can be inserted into the ground or a support such as foam cotton to achieve grounding and fixation of the device and prevent the device from shifting during transplantation; the through hole 701 penetrates the bottom of the base 2 to ensure air circulation around the seedling roots and prevent the roots from being affected by lack of oxygen.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, an external thread 703 is provided on the lower part of the surface of the protective cylinder 1, and an internal thread corresponding to the external thread 703 is provided on the inner wall of the base 2. The external thread 703 and the internal thread cooperate to realize the detachable connection between the protective cylinder 1 and the base 2. The protective cylinder 1 and the base 2 are connected by the threaded pair of the external thread 703 and the internal thread. The detachable design facilitates the assembly, disassembly and transportation of the device. At the same time, different specifications of the base 2 or the protective cylinder 1 can be replaced as needed to improve the versatility of the device.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the arc of the protective clamp 3 is consistent with the arc of the outer surface of the protective cylinder 1 to ensure that the protective clamp 3 and the protective cylinder 1 fit tightly together. The consistency between the arc of the protective clamp 3 and the arc of the outer surface of the protective cylinder 1 allows for a tight fit, reduces the swaying gap of the protective clamp 3 after its height is fixed, enhances the locking reliability of the adjustment mechanism 5, and ensures structural stability when clamping seedlings.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamp 603 is rotatably connected to the fixing frame 601 via the connecting rod 602. The clamp 603 can rotate around the connecting rod 602 to open or close, and the elastic force of the torsion spring 604 keeps the clamp 603 in a closed position. The clamp 603 forms a rotating pair with the fixing frame 601 via the connecting rod 602, and the elastic force of the torsion spring 604 maintains the closing tendency of the clamp 603, allowing the clamp 603 to automatically reset and clamp the seedling. This structure allows the clamp 603 to quickly close after opening via the torsion spring 604, simplifying the operation process and improving transplanting efficiency.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, a through hole 701 penetrates the bottom of the base 2 for seedling root aeration. Multiple insertion rods 702 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the base 2 to improve stability. The through hole 701 at the bottom of the base 2 ensures root aeration, and the even distribution of multiple insertion rods 702 increases the contact points between the base 2 and the support surface. The multi-point fixing and lifting device enhances the anti-overturning ability, making the base 2 more stable and adaptable to transplanting needs in different terrains.

[0050] In summary, the seedling transplanting auxiliary clamping device provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0051] 1. Height adaptive adjustment: The height of the protective clamping frame 3 can be steplessly adjusted by adjusting the clamping frame 501 and the tension spring 502 of the adjustment mechanism 5, which can adapt to seedlings of different heights and solve the problem of non-adjustable clamping height in the prior art.

[0052] 2. Three-dimensional protection for seedlings: The protective cylinder 1 wraps around the roots of the seedlings, and the protective clamping frame 3, together with the clamping plate 603 and rubber buffer column of the clamping mechanism 6, forms a three-dimensional protective structure from the roots to the stem, preventing the seedlings from breaking due to external impact or uneven clamping force during transplanting.

[0053] 3. Stable fixation in multiple scenarios: The insertion rod 702 of the fixing mechanism 7 can be inserted into different terrains, the through hole 701 ensures root ventilation, and the base 2 is detachably connected to the protective cylinder 1 through threads, taking into account both transplant stability and device portability.

[0054] 4. Ease of operation: The elastic reset design of the tension spring 502 and torsion spring 604 eliminates the need for additional tools during height adjustment and seedling clamping, thus improving transplanting efficiency.

[0055] Overall technical solution and working principle

[0056] 1. Structural composition and synergistic relationships

[0057] The device mainly consists of a protective cylinder 1, a base 2, a protective clamping frame 3, an adjusting mechanism 5, a clamping mechanism 6, and a fixing mechanism 7. The protective cylinder 1 is detachably connected to the base 2 via an external thread 703. The protective clamping frame 3 is fitted onto the outer surface of the protective cylinder 1. The adjusting mechanism 5 is used to control the height of the protective clamping frame 3. The clamping mechanism 6 is installed at the top of the protective clamping frame 3 to clamp the seedling. The fixing mechanism 7 fixes the base 2 via a rod 702.

[0058] 2. Working principle

[0059] Height adjustment principle: The clamping frame 501 of the adjustment mechanism 5 is symmetrically arranged on the outer surface of the protective cylinder 1, and the two are connected by a tension spring 502. When the clamping frame 501 is pulled outward, the tension spring 502 extends, and the protective clamping frame 3 can move up and down along the protective cylinder 1; after being released, the elastic force of the tension spring 502 drives the clamping frame 501 to press against the protective cylinder 1, and the height of the protective clamping frame 3 is locked by friction.

[0060] Seedling clamping principle: The fixing frame 601 of the clamping mechanism 6 is fixed to the top of the protective clamping frame 3. The connecting rod 602 is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 603. One end of the torsion spring 604 is connected to the fixing frame 601, and the other end is connected to the clamping plate 603. When the clamping plate 603 is pulled outward, the torsion spring 604 stores force. After being released, the torsion spring 604 returns to its original position, driving the two clamping plates 603 to clamp the seedling through the rubber buffer column to avoid injury.

[0061] Base fixing principle: The insertion rods 702 of the fixing mechanism 7 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the base 2. After being inserted into the ground or a support such as foam cotton, the seedling roots are ensured to breathe through the through holes 701, thus achieving stable support for the base 2.

[0062] How to use

[0063] 1. Installation and preparation: Connect the protective cylinder 1 to the base 2 using the external thread 703 and the internal thread, ensuring that the protective clamp 3 is fitted onto the outer surface of the protective cylinder 1.

[0064] 2. Seedling placement: After taking out the seedlings, place them into the protective cylinder 1, so that the roots of the seedlings are located in the base 2.

[0065] 3. Height adjustment: Pull the clamping frame 501 outward to move the protective clamping frame 3 up and down according to the height of the seedling. After adjusting to the appropriate position, release it. The height of the protective clamping frame 3 is fixed by the tension spring 502 through the clamping frame 501.

[0066] 4. Seedling clamping: Pull the clamping plate 603 outward to place the seedling stem between the two clamping plates 603. After releasing, the torsion spring 604 drives the clamping plate 603 to clamp the seedling through the rubber buffer column.

[0067] 5. Base fixing: Insert the insertion rod 702 at the bottom of the base 2 into the ground or support, and keep the roots aerated through the through hole 701 to complete the transplanting preparation.

[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
