Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an anti-lodging support device, specifically an anti-lodging support device for potato test-tube seedlings planted directly in the field. Background Technology
[0002] When potato seedlings are first transplanted into the field, their root systems are not yet fully developed, providing weak support and making them susceptible to lodging from wind, rain, and other external forces. Lodging-prevention support devices can fix the plants in a suitable position, ensuring upright growth. This helps the roots to better penetrate the soil, promoting plant growth. Proper use of support devices also encourages the stems and leaves of potato plants to grow upwards, reducing entanglement and shading, improving ventilation and light penetration, and allowing the plants to fully photosynthesize. This promotes better plant growth, lays a good foundation for later tuber development, and ultimately increases potato yield and quality.
[0003] In existing technologies, the anti-lodging support device for direct field planting of potato test-tube seedlings usually uses bamboo or plastic poles inserted vertically into the soil and the stems are fixed by straps or fixing rings. This structure is a rigid structure and has the disadvantages of non-adjustable aperture and poor adaptability. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that existing anti-lodging support devices for direct field planting of potato test-tube seedlings usually cannot be adaptively adjusted and can only protect the main rootstock, resulting in a decrease in the anti-lodging effect.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A field direct planting anti-lodging support device for potato test-tube seedlings includes a main anti-lodging component for preventing the stem from falling over due to external forces and its own growth changes. An auxiliary anti-lodging component is provided above the main anti-lodging component for preventing the branches of the potato test-tube seedlings from collapsing during growth. A support component is provided at the lower end of the main anti-lodging component for supporting the main anti-lodging component and the auxiliary anti-lodging component.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By placing potato test-tube seedlings within a main anti-lodging component and an auxiliary anti-lodging component, the main anti-lodging component protects the main rootstock, while the auxiliary anti-lodging component protects the branches. This simultaneously restricts the rootstock and branches of the potato test-tube seedlings, thus preventing them from lodging and collapsing. Therefore, this invention has the characteristic of excellent lodging prevention, as it can restrict both the rootstock and the growing branches.
[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0008] Furthermore, the main anti-fall-over component includes a first limiting plate, a second limiting plate located at its lower end, and a spring located on its outer side, with four sets of the first limiting plate evenly distributed around it.
[0009] Furthermore, a second limiting plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first limiting plate, and multiple sets of ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the surfaces of both the first and second limiting plates.
[0010] Furthermore, springs are fixedly installed at the ends of the four sets of first limiting plates that are far apart from each other, and dampers are provided inside the springs.
[0011] Furthermore, a support column is fixedly installed at the end of the spring away from the first limiting plate, and the four sets of the first limiting plates surround to form an inverted conical cage structure with a large upper diameter and a small lower diameter.
[0012] Furthermore, the auxiliary anti-fall-over component includes a limiting ring and a telescopic sleeve at its lower end. Four sets of telescopic sleeves are evenly and fixedly installed around the lower end of the limiting ring. Multiple sets of adjustment holes are evenly distributed on the surface of the telescopic sleeves from top to bottom. The telescopic sleeves are fixed by bolts.
[0013] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a support ring plate and threaded pins disposed on the support ring plate, wherein four sets of threaded pins are evenly distributed around the ring plate.
[0014] Furthermore, the threaded post is threadedly connected to the support ring plate, and a handle is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support ring plate.
[0015] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme are as follows: the structure of the inverted conical four-ply plate is set up with four sets of evenly distributed arc-shaped ply plates. The upper diameter is larger than the lower diameter, which fits the natural shape of the stem better. The gap between the ply plates is controlled by springs to dynamically adapt to the thickening of the stem. The limiting ring with height adjustment by telescopic sleeve column can be set up to limit the lodging according to the actual growth of the branches, making it more adaptable and thus making the lodging prevention effect better.

[0023] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise precisely specified.
[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a field-planted potato test-tube seedling anti-lodging support device includes a main anti-lodging component 1 to prevent the stem from falling over due to external forces and its own growth changes. Above the main anti-lodging component 1 is an auxiliary anti-lodging component 2 to prevent the branches of the potato test-tube seedling from collapsing during growth. At the lower end of the main anti-lodging component 1 is a support component 3 to support the main anti-lodging component 1 and the auxiliary anti-lodging component 2. By setting the main anti-lodging component 1 and the auxiliary anti-lodging component 2 to cooperate with each other, the main root and branches of the potato test-tube seedling are respectively limited, so that the potato test-tube seedling is not easy to collapse and fall over during growth. By setting the support component 3 to support the main anti-lodging component 1 and the auxiliary anti-lodging component 2, the stability of the device can be maintained during operation, thereby ensuring the anti-lodging effect.
[0026] like Figure 3As shown, the main anti-lodging component 1 includes a first limiting plate 101, a second limiting plate 102 located at its lower end, and a spring 104 located on its outer side. Four sets of the first limiting plate 101 are evenly distributed around it. The lower end of the first limiting plate 101 is fixedly connected to the second limiting plate 102. Multiple sets of ventilation holes 103 are evenly distributed on the surfaces of both the first and second limiting plates 101. By evenly distributing multiple sets of ventilation holes 103 on the surfaces of the first and second limiting plates 101 and 102, the permeability of the potato seedlings during their growth can be increased, preventing root rot caused by insufficient air circulation. A spring 104 is fixedly installed at the ends of the four sets of first limiting plates 101 that are far apart from each other. The spring 104 has an internal structure... A damper 105 is provided, and a support column 106 is fixedly installed at the end of the spring 104 away from the first limiting plate 101. Four sets of first limiting plates 101 surround to form an inverted conical cage structure with a large upper diameter and a small lower diameter. By setting four sets of inverted conical cage-like structures with a large upper diameter and a small lower diameter, the first limiting plates 101 are more in line with the natural shape of the stem. By setting a second limiting plate 102 at the lower end of the first limiting plate 101, the main root near the ground can be limited. With the cooperation of the two, the limiting effect is better. The spring 104 and the damper 105 dynamically adjust the clamping force and can automatically expand when the stem thickens, completely eliminating the risk of strangulation. The damper 105 absorbs vibration energy and reduces the swaying amplitude of the stem caused by strong winds.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary anti-lodging component 2 includes a limiting ring 201 and telescopic sleeves 202 located at its lower end. Four sets of telescopic sleeves 202 are evenly and fixedly installed around the lower end of the limiting ring 201. Multiple sets of adjustment holes 203 are evenly distributed on the surface of the telescopic sleeves 202 from top to bottom. The telescopic sleeves 202 are fixed by bolts 204. The adjustable telescopic sleeves 202 are fixed by bolts 204 to improve resistance to lateral forces. By setting the telescopic sleeves 202 to adjust the height of the limiting ring 201, it can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual growth of the potato test tube seedlings, making it more adaptable.
[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the support assembly 3 includes a support ring plate 301 and threaded pins 302 disposed on the support ring plate 301. Four sets of threaded pins 302 are evenly distributed around the support ring plate 301. The threaded pins 302 are threadedly connected to the support ring plate 301. A handle 303 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support ring plate 301. By setting the handle 303, it is easy to turn and control the threaded pins 302 to move up and down. By inserting the four sets of threaded pins 302 evenly distributed around the support ring plate 301 into the ground, a stable support can be formed for the support ring plate 301, thereby maintaining the stability of the device and making the anti-collapse effect better.
[0029] Working principle: First, install and initially position the device, place the device at the potato test tube seedling, so that the potato test tube seedling is located inside the main anti-lodging component 1 and the auxiliary anti-lodging component 2. By rotating the handle 303, screw the four sets of threaded posts 302 into the soil. The specific depth is determined according to the actual soil conditions, until the support ring plate 301 compacts the surface.
[0030] Then comes the stem protection stage, in which an inverted conical cage structure (with the first limiting plate 101 and the second limiting plate 102 working together) is used to wrap the base of the stem, and the spring 104 provides the initial preload.
[0031] The second stage is the adaptive adjustment stage during the growth period. The stem thickens, causing the spring 104 to be automatically compressed. Then, the damper 105 slowly releases the displacement, causing the four sets of first limiting plates 101 and second limiting plates 102 to expand outward synchronously, and continuously ventilate and prevent moisture through the vent holes 103.
[0032] At the same time, the branch is supported by the auxiliary anti-falling component 2. When the branch grows to the height of the limit ring 201, the telescopic sleeve 202 is stretched to the corresponding adjustment hole 203 and the bolt 204 is locked and fixed.
[0033] Finally, there is the protection phase for extreme working conditions.
[0034] Strong wind scene:
[0035] The wind load pushes the stem, causing the first limiting plate 101 and the second limiting plate 102 to compress the spring 104. Then the damper 105 absorbs the kinetic energy, ultimately reducing the swing amplitude.
[0036] Heavy rain scene:
[0037] Use ventilation holes 103 to accelerate drainage and prevent waterlogging and stem rot.
[0038] This device addresses the three major drawbacks of traditional support devices—"plant damage, poor wind resistance, and low efficiency"—through its dynamic adaptive structure and multi-level protection system. It is particularly suitable for large-scale potato test-tube seedling cultivation, and its overall benefits can be greatly improved.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
