Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular relates to a simple tool for assisting cotton seedling release. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cotton sowing is carried out using the film-covered hole-sowing method, that is, the seeder's hole-sowing device punches holes in the mulch film. However, due to various factors, the sowing position of cotton seeds in the soil and the hole position on the mulch film may be misaligned. Specific factors include: First, the soil texture affects the planting of seeds, especially the sandy soil in southern Xinjiang. Because the sandy soil is relatively loose, the seeds may be misaligned when the seeder crushes them during sowing. Secondly, the quality of land preparation affects the planting process. When the land is not level or clean (with residual film or straw from the previous crop), misalignment may occur during sowing. Third, the sowing speed is affected by the agricultural machinery operator's improper operation. When the sowing speed is too fast, misalignment may occur during the sowing process. Fourth, due to the extensibility of the mulch film, the film will stretch and deform during the laying process, which may cause misalignment during sowing.

[0003] The above situations will directly prevent cotton seedlings from emerging directly from the film holes. If they remain under the film for a long time, the high temperature and humidity will cause the cotton seedlings to scald and die, resulting in reduced cotton yield. Therefore, manual assistance in releasing the seedlings is required.

[0004] Currently, when cotton farmers are releasing seedlings in cotton fields, some use a chopstick with one end sharpened. This simple device requires squatting or bending over to operate, which is quite labor-intensive. Others use a wooden stick with an iron hook to pry open the plastic film. This tool is rather rudimentary, as the length of the stick cannot be adjusted, and it only has one iron hook, so the effect is not ideal. There is also a seedling release tool reported in the patent "A Simple Tool to Assist Cotton Seedling Release" (authorization announcement number: CN 212184435 U), which has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation and maintenance. However, because it only has one "L"-shaped blade, its effect is not outstanding in actual seedling release, and its function is limited. Therefore, further development of cotton seedling release tools that are easy to operate manually and have good application effects is of great practical significance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a simple tool for assisting in the release of cotton seedlings. This simple tool not only integrates the functions of supporting and releasing seedlings, but also has a simple structure and is easy to operate, thus solving the shortcomings of existing tools.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a simple tool for assisting cotton seedling release: The device includes a main pole, the bottom of which is provided with at least one set of multi-functional operating mechanisms. The multi-functional operating mechanisms include a connector, a seedling release device, and a seedling support device. The connector is used to connect the seedling release device and the seedling support device to the main pole. The seedling release device and the seedling support device are parallel on the axial orthogonal projection of the main pole. The seedling release device is used to break the film and enlarge the size of the holes on the film so that the cotton seedlings can naturally emerge. The seedling support device is used to straighten the cotton seedlings that have emerged from the film but are growing at an angle.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment: The connector has a "Y" shaped structure, and the seedling release device and the seedling support device are respectively installed on two branches of the connector; Alternatively, the connector may have a "T" shaped structure, with the seedling release device and seedling support device respectively installed at the two ends of the connector.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment: Both the seedling release device and the seedling support device are hook-shaped structures made of stainless steel wire. The bending arc of the seedling support device is smaller than that of the seedling release device, and the bending directions of the tips of the seedling support device and the seedling release device are opposite.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment: The seedling release device is a fork-tooth structure containing two sets of hook teeth, wherein the height of one set of hook teeth is 5-8 mm greater than the height of the other set of hook teeth, and the horizontal distance between the two sets of hook teeth is greater than the maximum size of the cotton seedling.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment: The maximum distance between the seedling release device and the seedling support device is 10-15mm.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment: The diameter of the seedling release device is 3-4 mm, and the diameter of the seedling support device is 2-3 mm.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment: When multiple multifunctional operating mechanisms are included, these multiple multifunctional operating mechanisms are pivotally connected to a support frame, and are connected to the main rod through the support frame. The spacing between two adjacent multifunctional operating mechanisms corresponds to the plant spacing of the cotton seedlings.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment: The main rod is height-adjustable and has a handle at the top.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment: The main rod is made of aluminum alloy or PVC.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This proposed solution for a simple cotton seedling raising tool includes a main stem and a multi-functional operating mechanism. The multi-functional mechanism comprises an independent and complementary seedling raising device and a seedling supporting device. The seedling raising device breaks the film and enlarges the holes to allow the cotton seedlings to emerge naturally. This device does not directly contact the seedlings, reducing damage. The seedling supporting device lifts soil and straightens any seedlings that have emerged but are growing at an angle, assisting them in growing upwards normally. Therefore, this proposed solution improves upon existing technology, effectively combining the functions of seedling raising and supporting. Furthermore, it is simple in structure, easy to use, and can be implemented by a single person with one hand, overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art and offering significant economic benefits.

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be emphasized that the following description is merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope and application of the present invention.

[0022] This embodiment provides a simple tool for assisting cotton seedling release. The tool includes a main pole 10 and at least one set of multi-functional operating mechanisms located at the bottom of the main pole 10. Figure 1 The diagram shown is a simplified tool schematic of a multi-functional working mechanism provided at the bottom of the main rod 10 in this embodiment.

[0023] The multi-functional operating mechanism includes a connector 11, a seedling release device 12, and a seedling support device 13. The connector 11 is used to connect the seedling release device 12 and the seedling support device 13 to the main rod 10. The seedling release device 12 and the seedling support device 13 are parallel on the axial orthogonal projection of the main rod 10, that is, the seedling release device 12 and the seedling support device 13 are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. In this embodiment, the maximum horizontal distance between the seedling release device 12 and the seedling support device 13 is preferably 10-15mm. When in use, the seedling release device 12 can break the film and enlarge the size of the holes on the film according to the location of the cotton seedling so that the cotton seedling can extend naturally without contacting the cotton seedling, thus reducing the damage rate to the cotton seedling. The seedling support device 13 can break the soil and straighten the cotton seedlings that have been exposed but have grown tilted due to the pressure of the soil or other external forces. It can be understood that the seedling support device 13 can support and straighten the cotton seedlings by breaking the soil, and assist the cotton seedlings to grow upward normally.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the connector 11 is used to connect the seedling feeder 12 and the seedling support 13 to the main rod 10. In this embodiment, the connector 11 has a "Y"-shaped structure or a T-shaped structure. When it has a "Y"-shaped structure, the seedling feeder 12 and the seedling support 13 are fixed to the two branches of the connector 11 by welding or screwing, that is, the seedling feeder 12 and the seedling support 13 are extensions of the two branches of the "Y"-shaped connector 11. When it has a "T"-shaped structure, the seedling feeder 12 and the seedling support 13 are fixed to the two ends of the connector 11 by welding, screwing, or pinning, etc. In order to improve the compactness of the structure, the connector 11 is preferably a "Y"-shaped structure, with the seedling feeder 12 as the main branch and the seedling support 13 as the side branch, such as... Figure 1 Or as shown in Figure 3.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, both the seedling release device 12 and the seedling support device 13 are hook-shaped structures made of bent stainless steel wire. The structures of the seedling release device 12 and the seedling support device 13 can be the same or different; in this embodiment, they are preferably different. Specifically, the bending arc of the seedling support device 13 is smaller than that of the seedling release device 12. Preferably, the structure of the seedling support device 13 is nearly straight, the bending angle of the seedling release device 12 is greater than 130°, and the bending directions of the tips of the seedling support device 13 and the seedling release device 12 are opposite. This embodiment adopts this design structure for both the seedling support device 13 and the seedling release device 12. On the one hand, it facilitates the seedling support device 13 and the seedling release device 12 to achieve their respective functions, and on the other hand, it facilitates their independent use and avoids interference between them.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the seedling support device 13 is an arc-shaped rod segment bent from a single stainless steel wire. In use, the end of this arc-shaped rod segment can break and pry open the soil covering the mulch film, exposing the cotton seedlings that have emerged from the film. Then, the tilted cotton seedlings are straightened by supporting the soil. The seedling release device 12 is a fork-tooth structure containing two sets of hook teeth 17. The height of one set of hook teeth 17 is 5-8 mm greater than the height of the other set, and the horizontal distance between the two sets of hook teeth 17 is greater than the maximum size of the cotton seedling. In this embodiment, a high [missing information - likely referring to a height] is set between the two sets of hook teeth 17. The difference in thickness facilitates the use of a single hook tooth 17 to break the film, improving the efficiency of film breaking. Then, the two sets of hook teeth 17 work together to open the holes, allowing the cotton seedlings to automatically extend from the gap between the two sets of hook teeth 17 without the hook teeth 17 contacting the cotton seedlings, thus reducing the damage rate of the hook teeth 17 to the cotton seedlings. At the same time, the cooperation of the two sets of hook teeth 17 can reduce the size of the hole opening, reduce the film damage rate, and improve the film moisture retention performance. It can be seen that by setting the seedling release device 12 as a forked tooth structure, it is not only convenient to break the film and open the holes, but also conducive to the automatic extension of cotton seedlings from the holes, thus improving the quality of seedling release.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the seedling release device 12 is preferably 3-4 mm, and the diameter of the seedling support device 13 is preferably 2-3 mm.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the main rod 10 has a height-adjustable structure, and a handle 15 is provided at the top of the main rod 10. The handle 15 facilitates the user's grip on the tool. In this embodiment, the structure of the handle 15 can be selected according to actual needs to ensure user comfort. The height-adjustable structure of the main rod 10 in this embodiment facilitates the use of users of different heights, further improving user comfort. Specifically, the height adjustment structure can adopt a telescopic structure similar to a hiking pole or selfie stick. Figure 1 As shown, it may be a splicing rod structure (multiple rods are spliced ​​together using nested assembly or 16-hole bolt fixing, etc.), such as Figure 4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the main rod 10 provided in this embodiment, which is spliced ​​by two rods fixed with bolts with 16 holes.

[0029] In this embodiment, the main rod 10 is made of aluminum alloy or PVC, preferably aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and easy to carry or transport.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the multi-functional operating mechanism comprises multiple components, which are pivotally connected to a support frame 14. The support frame 14 connects the multiple multi-functional operating mechanisms to the main rod 10, and the spacing between adjacent multi-functional operating mechanisms corresponds to the spacing between cotton seedlings. Figure 2As shown; in this embodiment, the multi-functional working mechanism and the support rod are preferably hinged using existing conventional self-locking pivots (e.g., damping pivots of model D8004). This hinge method facilitates the flexible selection of the number of multi-functional working mechanisms according to actual needs, and also facilitates folding and storage, reduces length, and makes subsequent handling or carrying convenient.

[0031] The specific operating principle of this embodiment includes: Before use, you can choose to use a tool with a single-function working mechanism or a tool with multiple multi-function working mechanisms as needed. When using, hold the handle 15 and rotate the tool according to the current state of the seedlings to select whether to use the seedling release device 12 or the seedling support device 13. For example, when the cotton seedlings are wrapped inside the film, the rotating tool can use the seedling release device 12. When using it, first use the longer hook teeth 17 of the seedling release device 12 to break the film near the cotton seedlings to form holes, and then put the entire seedling release device 12 into the holes to open the holes so that the cotton seedlings can automatically extend. When the cotton seedlings have emerged from the film but are growing at an angle, the rotating tool can use the seedling support device 13. First, use the intermittent use of the seedling support device 13 to pick up or break the soil covering the cotton seedlings, and then contact the cotton seedlings to straighten them. If necessary, you can use the seedling support device 13 to push the soil near the roots of the cotton seedlings to support them and achieve the purpose of straightening.

[0032] In summary, the tool in this embodiment is an improvement on the existing technology. It has the dual functions of seedling release and seedling support, and its structure is simple and easy to use. It can be implemented by a single person with one hand, which solves the shortcomings of the background technology and has significant economic benefits.

[0033] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements without departing from this utility model, and these improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These improvements will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application should be determined by the content of the claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
