Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural planting tools, specifically a vegetable seedling transplanting and seedling taking device. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional methods of manually removing seedlings often involve pulling them by hand or digging them with a shovel. Hand pulling can easily lead to root breakage and soil loss due to improper force, especially for seedlings with tender roots, significantly reducing survival rates. While digging with a shovel reduces root damage, it requires repeated adjustments to the angle and depth of insertion, making the process cumbersome and limiting the area that can be removed at one time, resulting in extremely low efficiency in large-scale transplanting scenarios. Furthermore, manual seedling removal requires frequent bending over, which can easily cause fatigue in the back and hands of the operator over extended periods. The work is physically demanding and requires considerable strength, making it unsuitable for the elderly, women, and other individuals with weaker physical abilities. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vegetable seedling transplanting and seedling collection device, which can solve the problems in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vegetable seedling transplanting and seedling taking device, comprising a pole and a seedling transplanting cylinder, wherein the seedling transplanting cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pole, a grip and a pressure handle are provided at the top of the pole, a sliding cylinder is slidably provided in the middle of the pole, a step bar is provided at the bottom of the pole and is located above the seedling transplanting cylinder, a grab plate is provided at the bottom of the seedling transplanting cylinder, a pull-down rope is connected between the grab plate and the sliding cylinder, and an upper pull-up rope is connected between the pressure handle and the sliding cylinder.
[0005] Preferably, one end of the grip is fixedly connected to the rod body, and a side connection end is provided below the connection point between the grip and the rod body. One end of the pressure handle is connected to the side connection end by a pin.
[0006] Preferably, the pressure handle has two connecting holes at one end near the side connection end. A spring is connected to one of the connecting holes, and the end of the spring away from the connecting hole is connected to the rod body. The other connecting hole is connected to the pull rope.
[0007] Preferably, a sliding area is provided in the middle of the rod body, and the sliding cylinder is slidably disposed in the sliding area.
[0008] Preferably, pull rings are provided at both the top and bottom of the slide cylinder. There are two pull rings at the top of the slide cylinder, and the pull rings at the top of the slide cylinder are connected to the upper pull rope. There are four pull rings at the bottom of the slide cylinder, and the pull rings at the bottom of the slide cylinder are connected to the lower pull rope.
[0009] Preferably, the side of the transplanting tube is provided with four equidistant receiving slots, the top of the gripping plate is connected to the inside of the receiving slots by a shaft pin, and the bottom of both the transplanting tube and the gripping plate is provided with a toothed bottom.
[0010] Preferably, a pull rod is provided on the inner side of the gripper plate, and a longitudinal groove matching the pull rod is opened on the top of the receiving groove, through which the pull rope passes and is connected to the pull rod.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] This invention allows for quick insertion of the transplanting cylinder into the soil by stepping on a foot pedal. Hand pressure on the handle and lever drives the gripping plate via rope transmission, eliminating the need for additional tools and allowing for single-person operation, thus improving seedling retrieval efficiency. Utilizing the lever principle of the handle (with the side end as the fulcrum) and the linkage design of the rope pulling the sliding cylinder, the operator only needs to apply a small gripping force to transmit force through the upward and downward pull of the rope, causing the gripping plate to retract and retrieve the seedling. This avoids bending over or digging force, making it particularly suitable for long-term, large-scale transplanting scenarios, reducing hand and back fatigue. Both the bottom of the transplanting cylinder and the gripping plate are equipped with a toothed bottom. When inserted into the soil, it reduces excessive damage to the surrounding soil; when the gripping plate folds into the transplanting tube, it can "wrap" up the soil around the seedling roots, preventing root breakage or soil loss, thus meeting the core requirement of "root protection" for seedling transplanting and indirectly improving the survival rate after transplanting. The sliding tube restricts the sliding trajectory through the "sliding zone," and with the pull rings at the top / bottom, it ensures that the rope is evenly stressed, preventing jamming or deviation during sliding. The device has a simple structure and clear operating logic, and can be quickly mastered without professional skills. It is suitable for transplanting vegetable seedlings in different scenarios such as home gardens, greenhouses, and farmland. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0022] A vegetable seedling transplanting and seedling collection device includes a pole body 1 and a seedling collection tube 2. The seedling collection tube 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pole body 1. A handle 6 and a pressure handle 7 are provided at the top of the pole body 1. A slide tube 4 is slidably arranged in the middle of the pole body 1. A step bar 3 is provided at the bottom of the pole body 1, which is located above the seedling collection tube 2. A grab plate 14 is provided at the bottom of the seedling collection tube 2. A pull rope 5 is connected between the grab plate 14 and the slide tube 4. An upper pull rope 10 is connected between the pressure handle 7 and the slide tube 4. When transplanting vegetable seedlings, the seedling collection tube 2 is aligned with the top of the seedling and inserted. Then, the foot steps on the step bar 3 to insert the seedling collection tube 2 into the soil. Then, the hand holds the handle 6 and applies force to pull the pressure handle 7 in the direction of the handle 6. The seedling is lifted by the grab plate 14 through the seedling collection tube 2. At this time, the seedling collection tube 2 can be pulled out to transfer the vegetable seedling.
[0023] A sliding area 11 is provided in the middle of the rod body 1, and the sliding cylinder 4 is slidably disposed in the sliding area 11. Pull rings 12 are provided at the top and bottom of the sliding cylinder 4. There are two pull rings 12 at the top of the sliding cylinder 4, and the pull rings 12 at the top of the sliding cylinder 4 are connected to the upper pull rope 10. There are four pull rings 12 at the bottom of the sliding cylinder 4, and the pull rings 12 at the bottom of the sliding cylinder 4 are connected to the lower pull rope 5. The sliding cylinder 4 will slide in the sliding area 11 under the tension of the upper pull rope 10 and the lower pull rope 5.
[0024] One end of the handle 6 is fixedly connected to the rod body 1. A side end 8 is provided below the connection between the handle 6 and the rod body 1. One end of the pressure handle 7 is connected to the side end 8 via a pin. Two connection holes are provided at the end of the pressure handle 7 near the side end 8. A spring 9 is connected to one of the connection holes. The end of the spring 9 away from the connection hole is connected to the rod body 1. The other connection hole is connected to the upper pull rope 10. When the pressure handle 7 is pulled towards the handle 6, the pressure handle 7 pulls the upper pull rope 10, causing the slide cylinder 4 to move upward. At this time, the slide cylinder 4 pulls the lower pull rope 5, causing the seedling transplanting cylinder 2 to use the grab plate 14 to scoop up the vegetable seedlings. After the pressure handle 7 is released, the spring 9 causes the pressure handle 7 to return to its original position. The slide cylinder 4 and the grab plate 14 are simultaneously returned to their original position by gravity, thus releasing the vegetable seedlings.
[0025] The transplanting cylinder 2 has four equidistant receiving slots 13 on its side. The top of the grab plate 14 is connected to the inside of the receiving slots 13 by a pivot pin. The bottom of both the transplanting cylinder 2 and the grab plate 14 is set with a toothed bottom 17. A pull rod 15 is provided on the inner side of the grab plate 14. The top of the receiving slot 13 has a longitudinal groove 16 that matches the pull rod 15. The pull rope 5 passes through the longitudinal groove 16 and is connected to the pull rod 15. When the sliding cylinder 4 moves upward, the pull rope 5 is pulled. At this time, the pull rope 5 pulls the pull rod 15, causing the grab plate 14 to fold inward into the transplanting cylinder 2, thereby lifting the vegetable seedlings along with the soil of their roots. When it is time to release, the pressure handle 7 is released to automatically reset and put down the seedlings, completing the transplanting and seedling removal.
[0026] Specifically, the transplanting cylinder can be quickly inserted into the soil by stepping on the pedal, and pressing the handle with the hand drives the gripping plate through rope transmission. No additional tools are needed, and a single person can complete the operation, improving seedling retrieval efficiency. Utilizing the lever principle of the handle (with the side end as the fulcrum) and the linkage design of the rope pulling the slide, the operator only needs to apply a small grip force to drive the gripping plate to retract and retrieve the seedling through the force transmission of the upward and downward ropes, avoiding bending over or digging force. It is especially suitable for long-term, large-scale transplanting scenarios, reducing hand and back fatigue. Both the bottom of the transplanting cylinder and the gripping plate are equipped with a "toothed bottom". When inserted into the soil, it can reduce excessive damage to the surrounding soil; when the gripping plate folds into the transplanting tube, it can "wrap" up the soil around the seedling roots, avoiding root breakage or soil loss, meeting the core requirement of "root protection" for seedling transplanting, and indirectly improving the survival rate after transplanting. The sliding tube restricts the sliding trajectory through the "sliding zone", and with the pull rings at the top / bottom, it ensures that the rope is evenly stressed, avoiding jamming or deviation during sliding. The device has a simple structure and clear operating logic, and can be quickly mastered without professional skills. It is suitable for transplanting vegetable seedlings in different scenarios such as home gardens, greenhouses, and farmland.
