Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to a simple plant fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Flue-cured tobacco is a type of tobacco processed through a heat-drying process. During flue-cured tobacco cultivation, surviving seedlings need to be transplanted into rows to ensure they have sufficient growing space and a favorable growing environment. To ensure even distribution of light resources, meet the light-loving characteristics of flue-cured tobacco, avoid root competition, balance soil nutrient and water utilization, optimize field ventilation, and improve field management efficiency, it is usually necessary to determine the plant spacing before transplanting. Chinese patent document CN202005143U discloses a portable flue-cured tobacco transplanter, which includes an operating rod with a conical hole opener connected to its bottom end. A spacing rod is connected to the operating rod next to the top of the hole opener, and the end of the spacing rod has a downward protrusion. The hole opener penetrates into the soil to create holes, and the downward protrusion at the end of the spacing rod marks the plant spacing in the middle of the tobacco row; the marked point is the next hole to be created. However, the spacing rod of this transplanter can only determine the distance, but cannot guarantee that the direction of the spacing rod will always extend along the direction of the field ridge. That is, during the process of opening the holes, the transplanter may cause problems such as inconsistent plant spacing or the planting hole deviating from the planting path due to the deflection of the spacing rod. (After the path deviates, it is mainly corrected manually by the operator, which has large error and low accuracy, resulting in inconsistent distances between the planting holes). This will affect the uniformity and consistency of tobacco growth. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a simple planter that can prevent the fixed-distance route from deviating from the planting path on the field ridge, thereby ensuring that the distance between adjacent planting holes is consistent and ensuring the uniformity and consistency of subsequent flue-cured tobacco planting and growth.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A simple plant fixing device includes two support rods, an arc-shaped rod, a sliding rod, and a fixing rod. The two support rods are vertically arranged and parallel to each other. The tops of the two support rods are connected by an arc-shaped rod that can be bent (i.e., the arc-shaped rod has a certain degree of flexibility). The outer walls of the tops of the two support rods are slidably fitted with sliding sleeves, and the two ends of the sliding rod are respectively connected to the sliding sleeves. The fixing rod is located between the two support rods below the sliding rod and is parallel to the sliding rod. The two ends of the fixing rod are respectively fixedly connected to the two support rods. A conical punch is fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the two support rods.

[0005] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the outer ring of the top of the arc-shaped rod is wrapped with an anti-slip sleeve, which facilitates hand operation; the vertical distance between the top of the arc-shaped rod and the sliding rod is 50-55cm, and the vertical distance between the sliding rod and the fixed rod is 25-30cm.

[0006] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the spacing between the support rods is 50-55cm.

[0007] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the fixed rod and the support rod are connected by a first screw, and the sliding rod, the sliding sleeve and the support rod are connected by a second screw; positioning holes are evenly opened at the upper end of the support rod along its vertical direction corresponding to the second screw, so as to facilitate the sliding positioning of the sliding rod.

[0008] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, a positioning component is set on the outer ring of the support rod located below the fixed rod. The positioning component includes a fixed plate, a connecting slide rod, a positioning cone, and a spring. The fixed plate is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the support rod, and connecting slide rods are respectively set at the front and rear ends of the support rod. The two connecting slide rods pass through the fixed plate and are fixedly connected to the end face of the positioning cone set on the lower side of the punch. The positioning cone has a cone-shaped structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and a through hole is opened in the middle of the positioning cone corresponding to the punch. A spring is set between the fixed plate and the positioning cone and on the outer ring of the connecting slide rod.

[0009] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, a limiting block is provided at the end of the connecting slide rod located on the upper side of the fixed plate.

[0010] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, angle scale lines are set on the outer ring of the positioning cone end face.

[0011] The following are the technical effects of this utility model: This application utilizes the cooperation of two support rods, an arc-shaped rod, a sliding rod, and a fixing rod to ensure the stability of the planter while using two punchers for mutual positioning. That is, one puncher serves as the positioning point while punching holes in the other hole (similar to a compass), which can effectively ensure the consistency of plant spacing in flue-cured tobacco planting holes. At the same time, by using this method for planter positioning, the next planting hole can be opened immediately while positioning it, ensuring real-time reference during the punching process and avoiding the problem of unclear marking points after the planter has completely left the field ridge, requiring secondary punching for positioning.

[0012] Furthermore, this application utilizes a positioning assembly consisting of a fixed plate, a connecting slide rod, a positioning cone, and a spring. This assembly facilitates the upward rebound after drilling by leveraging the spring's elasticity, and allows for angular observation of the entire support structure (i.e., the structure composed of the support rod, the arc rod, the sliding rod, and the fixed rod) during rotation via the positioning cone. This prevents deviations in plant spacing caused by the support rod deviating from the planting path after rotation, ensures the controllability of the rotation angle, and thus guarantees the consistency of the drilling distance.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Example 1: A simple plant fixing device includes two support rods 10, an arc-shaped rod 20, a sliding rod 30, and a fixing rod 40. The two support rods 10 are vertically arranged and parallel to each other (e.g., Figure 1 As shown), the tops of the two support rods 10 are connected by an arc-shaped rod 20 (as shown). Figure 1 As shown, the two ends of the arc-shaped rod 20 are fixedly connected to the tops of the two support rods 10 respectively, and the arc-shaped rod 20 can be bent (that is, the arc-shaped rod 20 has a certain degree of flexibility, for example: the material of the arc-shaped rod 20 can be a bendable plastic rod such as PE or PP, or a bendable bamboo rod, or a bendable metal such as iron wire or aluminum wire with an outer layer of rubber, etc., which needs to meet the purpose of adjusting the bending arc of the arc-shaped rod 20 according to the spacing of the two support rods 10, and avoiding the arc-shaped rod from breaking during the spacing adjustment process, which can be understood by those skilled in the art); the top of the arc-shaped rod 20 is wrapped with an anti-slip sleeve 21 (the anti-slip sleeve 21 can be made of rubber, sponge or other materials), so as to facilitate hand operation.

[0021] The top outer walls of the two support rods 10 are slidably fitted with sliding sleeves 11, and the two ends of the sliding rod 30 are respectively connected to the sliding sleeves 11 (thus enabling the sliding rod 30 to slide up and down on the outer wall of the support rod 10, facilitating the adjustment of the distance between the sliding rod 30 and the fixed rod 40); the fixed rod 40 is positioned between the two support rods 10 below the sliding rod 30 and is parallel to the sliding rod 30, with both ends of the fixed rod 40 fixedly connected to the two support rods 10 respectively; the vertical distance d1 between the top of the arc-shaped rod 20 and the sliding rod 30 is 50-55cm, the vertical distance d2 between the sliding rod 30 and the fixed rod 40 is 25-30cm, and the spacing d3 between the support rods 10 is 50-55cm. The fixed rod 40 and the support rod 10 are connected by a first screw (e.g., Figure 1 As shown, the fixed rod 40 has first screw holes at both ends, and the two support rods 10 have first mounting holes corresponding to the first screw holes. The first mounting holes are connected to the first screw holes using first screws, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the fixed rod 40 and the support rods 10. The sliding rod 30, the sliding sleeve 11, and the support rod 10 are connected by second screws. The upper end of the support rod 10 has positioning holes 12 evenly spaced along its vertical direction corresponding to the second screws, which facilitates the sliding positioning of the sliding rod 30 (in conjunction with...). Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple positioning holes 12 are evenly opened at the upper end of the support rod 10 along its vertical direction. The sliding sleeve 11 has through holes on the left and right sides of the support rod 10 corresponding to the positioning holes 12. The sliding rod 30 has a second screw hole corresponding to the positioning hole 12. The second screw passes through the through hole, positioning hole, and through hole sequentially, and is located in the second screw hole, thus connecting the sliding sleeve 11, the support rod 10, and the sliding rod 30. Simultaneously, considering the thickness of the sliding sleeve 11, the length of the sliding rod 30 is less than the length of the fixed rod 40, and the length of the second screw is greater than the length of the first screw. Conical punches 13 are fixed to the bottom of the two support rods 10 respectively (e.g.,...). Figure 1 , Figure 2 (As shown).

[0022] The support rod 10 is provided with a positioning component (such as a positioning component) on the outer ring below the fixed rod 40. Figure 1 As shown), the positioning assembly includes a fixed plate 51, a connecting slide rod 52, a positioning cone 53, and a spring 54. The fixed plate 51 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the support rod 10 (i.e., the inner ring of the fixed plate 51 is rotatably connected to the corresponding outer wall of the support rod 10, and the fixed plate 51 and the support rod 10 are coaxially arranged). The fixed plate 51 is located at the front and rear ends of the support rod 10 (i.e., ...). Figure 1 , Figure 3 The front and back ends are shown. Figure 2The left and right ends (as shown) are respectively provided with connecting slide rods 52. The two connecting slide rods 52 pass through the fixing plate 51 and are fixedly connected to the end face of the positioning cone 53 located on the lower side of the punch 13. The positioning cone 53 has a cone-shaped structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and a through hole is opened in the middle of the positioning cone 53 corresponding to the punch 13 (e.g., Figure 1 , Figure 2 (As shown in the diagram) A spring 54 is installed between the fixed plate 51 and the positioning cone 53, located on the outer ring of the connecting slide rod 52. A limiting block 520 is installed at the end of the connecting slide rod 52 located on the upper side of the fixed plate 51 to prevent the connecting slide rod 52 from detaching from the fixed plate 51. An angle scale line is provided on the outer ring of the end face of the positioning cone 53. The angle alignment during the drilling process is achieved by the correspondence between the fixed rod 40 and the angle scale line, avoiding large errors caused by manual rotation of the angle.

[0023] Working principle: In use, firstly, select sliding rods 30 and fixed rods 40 of corresponding lengths according to the plant spacing and install them between the two support rods 20; then, the operator holds the middle of the arc-shaped rod 20 and places the two positioning cones 53 of the planter on the ridge where tobacco needs to be transplanted, ensuring that the two positioning cones 53 are in the center of the ridge. Then, press the arc-shaped rod 20 downwards, causing the support rod 20 to move the punch 13 downwards and compress the spring 52. The punch 13 passes through the corresponding positioning cone 53 through the hole to complete the punching on the ridge. Release the downward pressure of the arc-shaped rod 20, and the punch 13 returns to above the positioning cone 53 due to the elasticity of the spring 52; then, according to the planting direction of the ridge (e.g.: Figure 1 (For planting from left to right), the positioning cone 53 on the right side is manually fixed (for example, by stepping on the end face of the positioning cone 53), and the arc rod 20 is rotated so that... Figure 1 The positioning cone 53 on the left is located on the right. Observe whether it has rotated 180° by the angle scale line on the positioning cone 53. Then reposition and press the arc rod 20 to perform subsequent drilling. Repeat this process to complete the drilling and spacing determination on the field ridge.

[0024] Example 2: As a further optimization of the present invention, in order to adapt to the plant spacing in different planting environments and ensure that the spacing of the plant spacers can be adjusted between 50 and 55 cm, based on the solution of Example 1, as follows: Figure 5As shown, both the sliding rod 30 and the fixed rod 40 are adjustable rods, meaning they each consist of two sections, left and right. A screw is installed at the end of the left section furthest from the corresponding support rod 10, and a threaded hole is opened at the end of the right section furthest from the corresponding support rod 10, corresponding to the screw. The outer wall of the screw is threaded to the inner wall of the threaded hole. Before installing the sliding rod 30 and the fixed rod 40, adjust them according to the fixed plant distance, and then install the sliding rod 30 and the fixed rod 40 onto the support rod 10 using the second screw and the first screw, respectively.

[0025] Example 3: As a further optimization of the present utility model, based on the scheme of embodiment 1, a limiting ring is provided on the outer ring of the bottom end of the arc-shaped rod 20 to prevent the sliding sleeve 11 from sliding to the outer wall of the arc-shaped rod 20.
