Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural planting technology, specifically a mobile fruit seedling root soaking device. Background Technology

[0002] Agriculture is an industry that uses the growth and development patterns of plants and animals to produce products through artificial cultivation. For example, the planting of fruit trees can bring income to farmers and can also promote the progress of returning farmland to forest and revitalizing rural agriculture.

[0003] Apples are one of the most widely grown and sold fruits in the world, with a long history of cultivation and a wide distribution. They should be grown in places with deep soil, sufficient sunlight, and far away from pollution sources. Appropriate cultivation management includes reasonable pruning, water and fertilizer management, and thinning of flowers and fruits to promote healthy growth of apples and improve their yield and quality.

[0004] In the process of apple seedling care, root soaking is an important step. It is usually done before planting. Soaking the roots of the seedlings in water can improve the survival rate of the seedlings and increase the vitality of the root system. Rooting agents or other agents can be added to the water to further enhance the survival rate of the plants.

[0005] Existing root soaking methods, due to the long distances and limited water availability at planting sites, involve workers soaking bundles of seedlings in water tanks. After soaking, the bundles only receive basic moisture retention before being transported to transplanting sites. During the waiting period before planting, the seedlings do not receive sufficient water, affecting their survival rate during transplanting. Therefore, a mobile root soaking device has been designed to move seedlings to designated locations while simultaneously performing root soaking, thereby increasing the survival rate of the plants. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a movable fruit seedling root soaking device in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a movable fruit seedling root soaking device, including a trolley, a base is fixedly connected to one side of the trolley, and a root soaking mechanism is provided on the base to facilitate soaking the roots of apple seedlings in water.

[0008] The root soaking mechanism includes a water tank, water tank reinforcing ribs, and an overflow outlet;

[0009] A water trough is fixedly connected above the base, and a water trough reinforcing rib is fixedly connected inside the water trough. An overflow port is installed on one side of the bottom of the water trough. A limiting mechanism that can support the seedlings is provided on the water trough reinforcing rib. The water trough is elliptical in shape and is inclined towards the overflow port. A rubber stopper is provided inside the overflow port.

[0010] The limiting mechanism includes: a support column A, a first limiting frame, a first limiting groove, a first reinforcing rib, a support column B, a second limiting frame, a second limiting groove, and a second reinforcing rib;

[0011] A support column A is fixedly connected above the reinforcing rib of the water tank. A first reinforcing rib is fixedly connected above the support column A. A first limiting frame is connected around the first reinforcing rib. A first limiting groove is provided on the side surface of the first limiting frame. A support column B is fixedly connected above each of the first reinforcing ribs. A second reinforcing rib is fixedly connected above the support column B. A second limiting frame is connected around the second reinforcing rib. A second limiting groove is provided on the side surface of the second limiting frame. Both the first limiting frame and the second limiting frame are elliptical in shape, and the size of the second limiting frame is smaller than that of the first limiting frame.

[0012] A water tank is fixedly connected to the top of the trolley near the water tank via a bracket. A water valve is installed at the bottom of the water tank via a pipe, and the water valve's nozzle extends to the top of the water tank near the highest point.

[0013] The first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are each a number of several, and are evenly distributed on the first limiting frame and the second limiting frame respectively, and are fitted with a rubber layer inside.

[0014] The water tank reinforcing ribs, the first reinforcing rib, and the second reinforcing rib are all arranged in a cross shape.

[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, the water tank is elliptical in shape, which can be used for root soaking of multiple seedlings. When the seedlings are placed on the first limiting frame and the second limiting frame, the seedlings will be placed at an angle because the second limiting frame is smaller than the first limiting frame. Even if the moving device is used, the seedlings will not easily tip over, and the roots will be soaked in the water tank. The seedlings can be removed when planting, which meets the needs of root soaking of seedlings and improves practicality.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the water valve's nozzle extends to near the highest point of the water tank, allowing for constant water replenishment.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] In this utility model:

[0024] Reference Figure 1-3 A movable fruit seedling root soaking device includes a trolley 1, a base 2 fixedly connected to one side of the trolley 1, and a root soaking mechanism on the base 2 to facilitate soaking the roots of apple seedlings in water.

[0025] The root soaking mechanism includes a water tank 201, a water tank reinforcing rib 202, and an overflow outlet 204;

[0026] A water trough 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 2. A water trough reinforcing rib 202 is fixedly connected inside the water trough 201. An overflow port 204 is installed on one side of the bottom of the water trough 201. A limiting mechanism that can support the seedlings is provided on the water trough reinforcing rib 202. The water trough 201 is elliptical and tilted towards the overflow port 204. A rubber stopper is provided inside the overflow port 204. When the rubber stopper is opened, the water in the water trough 201 will flow out towards the overflow port 204 at the tilt angle, which is convenient for cleaning the inside of the water trough 201 and makes it more convenient to use.

[0027] The limiting mechanism includes: support column A203, first limiting frame 3, first limiting groove 301, first reinforcing rib 302, support column B303, second limiting frame 4, second limiting groove 401, and second reinforcing rib 402;

[0028] A support column A203 is fixedly connected above the reinforcing rib 202 of the water tank. A first reinforcing rib 302 is fixedly connected above the support column A203. A first limiting frame 3 is connected around the first reinforcing rib 302. A first limiting groove 301 is provided on the side surface of the first limiting frame 3. A support column B303 is fixedly connected above the first reinforcing rib 302. A second reinforcing rib 402 is fixedly connected above the support column B303. A second limiting frame 4 is connected around the second reinforcing rib 402. A second limiting groove 401 is provided on the side surface of the second limiting frame 4. Both the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 4 are elliptical. The size of the second limiting frame 4 is smaller than that of the first limiting frame 3. When the seedling is placed on the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 4, the seedling will be placed at an angle because the size of the second limiting frame 4 is smaller than that of the first limiting frame 3. During the root soaking process, the seedling is not easy to tip over.

[0029] A water tank 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the trolley 1 near the water tank 201 via a bracket. A water valve 501 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 5 via a pipe. The water nozzle of the water valve 501 extends to the top of the highest point of the water tank 201. When the water valve 501 is opened, the liquid in the water tank 5 will flow into the water tank 201, making it convenient to add water or medicine to the water tank 201. After soaking the roots, clean water can be added to the water tank to clean the water tank 201, making it more convenient to use.

[0030] Furthermore, there are several first limiting grooves 301 and second limiting grooves 401, which are evenly distributed on the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 4 respectively, and a rubber layer is attached inside. When soaking the roots, the seedlings are placed in the corresponding first limiting grooves 301 and second limiting grooves 401 on the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 4 at the same time. The rubber layer inside is relatively soft, which can avoid damaging the seedlings.

[0031] Furthermore, the water tank reinforcing rib 202, the first reinforcing rib 302, and the second reinforcing rib 402 are all arranged in a "+" shape. The "+" shaped water tank reinforcing rib 202, the first reinforcing rib 302, and the second reinforcing rib 402 can increase the strength of the water tank 201, the first limiting frame 3, and the second limiting frame 4, and also have the advantages of being lightweight, not easily deformed in subsequent use, and more durable.

[0032] Working principle: First, the root soaking agent is mixed with water and added to water tank 5. Water valve 501 is opened, and the solution flows into water trough 201. The seedling roots are placed in water trough 201, and the seedling trunk is placed in the corresponding first limiting groove 301 and second limiting groove 401 on the first limiting frame 3 and second limiting frame 4. The first limiting groove 301 and second limiting groove 401 can limit the seedling's position, while the internal rubber layer prevents damage. Because the second limiting frame 4 is smaller than the first limiting frame 3, the seedling will be placed at an angle during the root soaking process. The moving device prevents the seedlings from tipping over. The cross-shaped reinforcing ribs 202, 302, and 402 of the water trough increase the strength of the water trough 201, the first limiting frame 3, and the second limiting frame 4, making them less prone to deformation and more durable in subsequent use. After soaking the roots, open the rubber stopper in the overflow port 204, and the medicine in the water trough 201 will flow out to the overflow port 204 at an inclined angle. At this time, you can add clean water to the water tank to rinse the water trough 201 and clean it, making it more convenient to use.

[0033] 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 and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
