Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bud remover technology, and in particular to a precision lily bud remover with an adjustable aperture. Background Technology

[0002] The nutrients of lily plants are prioritized for the most active growing organs: buds and flowers. If the buds are not removed, a large amount of nutrients will be consumed in the process of flowering, pollination, and seed formation. In addition, some irregularly shaped buds affect the appearance and also need to be removed.

[0003] Most existing methods for removing lily buds involve using a bud remover, which is essentially a pair of scissors with exposed blades. This requires considerable skill from the operator, as it can easily damage surrounding branches and buds. Furthermore, the process requires the other hand to hold the flower branch, making it quite cumbersome. Some bud removers have a bud-holding function, but the opening cannot be adjusted. This results in the opening being too large when removing smaller buds, causing surrounding branches and buds to be removed along with the buds. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution for a precision lily bud remover with an adjustable aperture:

[0026] Example 1, according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an adjustable-diameter precision lily bud remover includes a removal cylinder 1. An extension cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the middle of one side wall of the removal cylinder 1. A movable rod 6 is movably connected inside the extension cylinder 5. A cutter 12 is installed at one end of the movable rod 6. Strip grooves 7 are provided at both the top and bottom ends of the movable rod 6. Compression springs 8 are provided inside both strip grooves 7. A connecting pipe 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the removal cylinder 1. A collection bag 19 is provided on one side of the connecting pipe 2. The collection bag 19 is made of nylon mesh.

[0027] The cutter 12 is located inside the removal cylinder 1. A knife groove 11 is provided in the middle of the inner wall of the removal cylinder 1. The cutter 12 is matched with the knife groove 11 in size. Fixing blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the extension cylinder 5. One end of each of the two compression springs 8 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the two fixing blocks 13. The other end of the compression springs 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the strip groove 7. A handle 4 is fixedly connected to the other side wall of the removal cylinder 1. A rubber ring 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the collection bag 19. A groove 3 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting tube 2. The rubber ring 18 is embedded in the groove 3. The connecting tube 2 communicates with the inside of the removal cylinder 1.

[0028] In practical use, this adjustable-diameter precision lily bud remover allows the operator to hold the removal cylinder 1 by threading four fingers through the handle 4 and placing the thumb against the end face of the moving rod 6. One end of the removal cylinder 1 is then fitted onto the lily bud to be removed, allowing the bud to enter the cylinder 1. Applying force with the thumb pushes the moving rod 6, which in turn moves the cutter 12 to cut the bud. During the cutting process, the cutter 12 moves and eventually inserts into the blade groove 11, allowing for quick and accurate one-time bud cutting. When the thumb is not applying force, the compression springs 8 on both sides... The self-elastic force pushes the cutter 12 to move and reset. At this time, the removal tube 1 can be pulled out from the lily stem. The cut buds are inside the removal tube 1. A collection bag 19 is placed on the connecting tube 2 beforehand with the help of a rubber ring 18 at one end. This makes the removal tube 1 tilt, and the cut buds inside will fall into the collection bag 19 for collection. Following the same steps, the operator can place the removal tube 1 on the flower stem where the buds need to be removed one by one, and remove them by manually pressing the cutter 12. After removal, tilting the removal tube 1 can collect the buds. The operation is convenient and fast, greatly improving manual efficiency, and the buds are collected simultaneously after being cut.

[0029] Example 2, based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, multiple arc-shaped elastic strips 17 are fixedly connected to the other end of the removal cylinder 1. Arc-shaped openings 10 are fixedly connected to one side wall of each of the multiple arc-shaped elastic strips 17. An adjusting cylinder 15 is provided between the multiple arc-shaped openings 10. A pressing plate 9 is provided on the top of the adjusting cylinder 15. Multiple marking strips 14 are provided on one side of the pressing plate 9. The multiple marking strips 14 are sprayed on the side wall of the removal cylinder 1. The multiple marking strips 14 can correspond to 5-8mm young buds, 9-12mm medium buds and 13-16mm mature buds respectively. A transmission rod 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the adjusting cylinder 15. The middle part of the transmission rod 16 moves through the through groove opened on one side of the top of the removal cylinder 1. The top of the transmission rod 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressing plate 9. The adjusting cylinder 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the removal cylinder 1.

[0030] In practical use, this utility model's adjustable-diameter precision lily bud remover addresses the issue that, due to the varying sizes of lilies and their stems and buds, if the opening is too large, other branches and leaves may be accidentally included during the fitting process. This can damage other branches, leaves, and healthy buds during the cutting process. When the branches and buds are small, the operator can manually press on the pressing plate 9, moving it towards the connecting tube 2. This moves the internal adjusting cylinder 15 away from the multiple arc-shaped openings 10, thus reducing the size of the multiple arc-shaped openings 10. When there is no internal support, the parts fit together and close. At this time, the reserved opening size is small, which is suitable for removing the buds of small lily plants. When dealing with larger plants, the pressing plate 9 can be pushed in the opposite direction to move the adjusting cylinder 15 to expand the multiple arc-shaped openings 10. As a result, the multiple arc-shaped openings 10 open and move away from each other, making the opening larger to meet the insertion needs of larger lily buds. For less experienced operators, the positions marked by the multiple marking strips 14 can be used to push the pressing plate 9 to move, thereby adjusting the removal of lily buds of small, medium and large sizes.
