Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of experimental auxiliary instruments technology, and in particular to a burial support for mineralization bags. Background Technology

[0002] Mineralization bags (also known as mineralization decomposition bags) are containers used to study the decomposition of soil organic matter, nutrient cycling, and microbial activity. They are made of porous materials and filled with the organic material to be studied. After being sealed, the mineralization bags are buried in the soil, typically at a depth of 20-30 cm. After burial, soil moisture carries microorganisms into the bag, where they react with the material, while soil particles are kept out. After a period of time, the mineralization bags are dug out, and the material inside is then tested. This allows for the quantification of the decomposition rate of organic matter in the natural environment, nutrient release patterns, and microbial metabolic activity.

[0003] During the experiment, the optimal state is to spread the material evenly in the mineralization bag and keep it loose, with a thickness of 3-5 cm. If the thickness is too large, it will increase the difficulty of oxygen penetration, induce the formation of local anaerobic zones, and lead to an imbalance of the microbial community. If the thickness is too small, the material layer will not be able to lock in moisture, resulting in frequent dry and wet alternation of the material layer, which will affect the activity of microorganisms.

[0004] Currently, when conducting experiments, materials are usually placed in mineralization bags and then buried directly in a pit. Because the pit is uneven, the materials inside the mineralization bags tend to accumulate in the depressions after being placed in the pit, resulting in uneven distribution of materials. This can lead to problems such as imbalanced moisture distribution and microbial activity, thus causing inaccurate final test results.

[0005] Furthermore, since mineralization bags generally come in a few fixed, commonly used sizes, while the amount of analyte required in different experiments varies, ranging from tens to hundreds of grams, a mismatch can occur between the amount of analyte and the capacity of the mineralization bag. If the mineralization bag is too large, the material inside may not reach the appropriate thickness after being evenly spread. In such cases, a common practice is to cut the mineralization bag according to the amount of analyte to create a specific size to meet different experimental needs. This method requires calculating the size of the mineralization bag based on the amount of analyte and the designed material layer thickness, and then cutting it according to the calculation results, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive.

[0035] See Figure 1A burial support for mineralized bags, comprising:

[0036] The base plate 1 has water passage holes 13 evenly distributed on it. When the device is buried in the soil, water seeps downward along the soil. When the water comes into contact with the base plate 1, it can continue to seep downward along the water passage holes 13, which prevents water from accumulating at the base plate 1, making the experimental environment more in line with the natural environment and improving the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0037] The pressure plate 2 is detachably installed on the base plate 1. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the pressure plate 2 is parallel to the base plate 1, so that a uniformly wide gap is formed between the pressure plate 2 and the base plate 1 for placing the mineralization bag. The width of the gap is adjustable to meet different experimental needs.

[0038] Clamping component 3, see Figure 6 The clamping assembly 3 includes a pressure plate 31, a screw 32, and a second nut 33. The base plate 1 has symmetrically arranged mounting holes 18, with a rubber pad 17 fixed between the two mounting holes 18. A screw 32, corresponding to the mounting holes 18, is vertically arranged at the bottom of the pressure plate 31. The screw 32 passes through the mounting holes 18 and is threadedly connected to the second nut 33. Tightening the second nut 33 presses the pressure plate 31 against the rubber pad 17. In use, the open side 41 of the mineralization bag 4 is first passed between the pressure plate 31 and the rubber pad 17. The pressure plate 31 is then slid to fit against the mineralization bag 4. Tightening the second nut 33 presses the pressure plate 31 firmly against the rubber pad 17, thus securing the open side 41 and preventing material leakage from the mineralization bag 4. Furthermore, the tail of the mineralization bag 4 is fixed to a connecting piece 42 by adhesive or sewing. A protrusion 14 is provided on the bottom plate 1. One end of the rubber band 5 is fixed to the connecting piece 42 and the other end is fixed to the protrusion 14. The rubber band 5 is always in a stretched state, thereby working with the pressure plate 31 to fix the mineralization bag 4 to the bottom plate 1, preventing the mineralization bag 4 from slipping during the burial process and ensuring the uniformity of the material inside.

[0039] When conducting the experiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5First, fix the pressure plate 2 on the base plate 1, adjust the gap between them to meet the experimental requirements, and place the base plate 1 vertically, with the clamping component 3 on the top and the protrusion 14 on the bottom. Then loosen the second nut 33 to leave space between the pressure plate 31 and the rubber pad 17 for easy insertion of the mineralization bag 4. When inserting the mineralization bag 4, the opening side 41 should be on top and the connecting piece 42 on the bottom. After inserting the mineralization bag 4 into the gap, add the prepared test material into the mineralization bag 4 from the opening side 41. As the material is added, the mineralization bag 4 will gradually bulge. However, under the constraint of the base plate 1 and the pressure plate 2, the maximum thickness of the bulge of the mineralization bag 4 is equal to the width of the gap. After the material is added, the mineralization bag 4 may not be completely full. In this case, allow the open side 41 of the mineralization bag 4 to pass between the pressure plate 31 and the rubber pad 17, with the material-filled portion still in the gap. Adjust the position of the pressure plate 31 so that it is close to the rubber pad 17 but not completely compressed. Pull the open side 41 of the mineralization bag 4 upwards until the material-filled portion contacts the pressure plate 31. Then, tighten the second nut 33 to press and fix the open side 41 of the mineralization bag 4, thus solving the problem of the mineralization bag 4 being too large. This method eliminates the need to cut the mineralization bag 4, making it convenient and quick. After fixing the mineralization bag 4 with the pressure plate 31, seal the open side 41 of the mineralization bag 4 to ensure its airtightness and prevent soil particles from entering the mineralization bag 4 and contaminating the material to be tested. After securing the open side 41, attach the rubber band 5 at the tail connecting piece 42 of the mineralization bag 4 to the protrusion 14 to secure the mineralization bag 4. It should be noted that there is no absolute order between the steps in the above process; the order can be adjusted according to operating habits as long as it does not affect the effect.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The base plate 1 has four limiting holes 11 at its four corners, and the pressure plate 2 has four limiting rods 21 at its four corners corresponding to the limiting holes 11. The limiting rods 21 pass through the limiting holes 11 and are threadedly connected to the first nut 22, thereby fixing the pressure plate 2 onto the base plate 1. To facilitate adjustment of the gap between the base plate 1 and the pressure plate 2, several adjusting rings 23 are fitted onto the limiting rods 21. The adjusting rings 23 are located between the base plate 1 and the pressure plate 2, and the width of the gap can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of adjusting rings 23. Generally, the thickness of the adjusting rings 23 is 1 cm. In this embodiment, four adjusting rings 23 are fitted onto each limiting rod 21, that is, the gap width is 4 cm. In general experiments, a gap width of 3 cm, 4 cm, or 5 cm is sufficient to meet the requirements. In special cases, thinner adjusting rings 23, such as 0.5 cm, can be made, thus allowing for a wider variety of gap widths to meet different experimental needs.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 Since this device needs to be buried in the soil, a wing plate 15 is provided on the side of the base plate 1 to facilitate marking the burial location. A connecting cylinder 16 is provided on the wing plate 15. In use, the marker rod 6 is inserted vertically into the connecting cylinder 16, ensuring that the length of the marker rod 6 is greater than the burial depth, so that the end of the marker rod 6 protrudes from the soil surface, facilitating the marking of the burial location. Furthermore, a label 61 is fixed to the end of the marker rod 6 that protrudes from the soil surface, on which information about the buried material can be recorded, making it convenient for experimental personnel to view.

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 A vertical rod 12 is fixed to the bottom of the base plate 1. The base plate 1 can be fixed in the soil layer by the rod 12, thereby improving the stability of the base plate 1 and reducing the risk of the base plate 1 tilting.

[0043] Specific work process:

[0044] See Figure 5 Set the gap width according to the material thickness requirements, and put the material into the mineralization bag 4. See the above steps for details.

[0045] See Figure 2 After the mineralization bag 4 is filled and sealed, dig a pit at the burial location, remove the first nut 22, and hold the bottom plate 1 and pressure plate 2 tightly by hand to keep the gap width unchanged and prevent the material inside the mineralization bag 4 from sliding. Place the device horizontally in the pit so that the bottom plate 1 contacts the bottom of the pit and the insertion rod 12 is inserted into the soil. When placing it, tools such as a level can be used to assist in ensuring the levelness of the bottom plate 1.

[0046] See Figure 3 After placement, remove the pressure plate 2 from the base plate 1 and insert the marker rod 6 into the connecting cylinder 16. Then, backfill the pit in layers, and handle the soil gently when covering the mineralization bag 4 to prevent excessive impact on the material inside the bag and ensure uniformity. After backfilling, the material inside the mineralization bag 4 will be compressed under soil pressure, resulting in a thinner material thickness. However, since the burial depth of the mineralization bag 4 is shallow, the pressure generated by the soil has limited impact on the bag, and this effect is usually negligible.
