Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural planting tools, specifically a folding transplanter. Background Technology

[0002] Transplanters, also known as seedling transplanters, are a commonly used agricultural tool for growing fruits and vegetables. They are easy to operate, lightweight, and highly efficient. Transplanters have revolutionized traditional seedling cultivation by combining the five steps of digging holes, burying the seedlings, breaking the film, digging up the seedlings, and building embankments into one process. Planting can be completed in just two seconds, significantly reducing the labor intensity of seedling cultivation.

[0003] Maintaining a reasonable spacing between plants is crucial for crop growth, development, and yield during crop transplanting. Currently, common methods for determining transplant spacing include manual measurement and the use of simple spacing tools. Manual measurement is inefficient and struggles to guarantee accuracy and consistency. Existing spacing tools are not only incompatible with varying spacing requirements but also cannot be integrated with transplanters, leading to inconvenience in carrying and storage, hindering widespread adoption by farmers. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a foldable transplanter to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[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] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment of the utility model, the foldable transplanter spacer includes a transplanter body 1, on which an installation component 2 is provided. A self-locking hinge 3 is fixedly installed at one end of the installation component 2. The installation component 2 includes a first installation hoop 21 and a second installation hoop 23. Both ends of the first installation hoop 21 and both ends of the second installation hoop 23 are fixedly fitted with installation ear seats 22. Adjacent installation ear seats 22 are fixedly connected by screws. Two connecting seats 24 are fixedly fixed to one side of the second installation hoop 23, and the self-locking hinge 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the two connecting seats 24. A spacer rod 4 is fixedly installed at one end of the self-locking hinge 3, and a movable frame 5 is slidably mounted on the spacer rod 4. A positioning component 6 is provided at the top center of the movable frame 5. The positioning component 6 includes a through hole 61 opened at the top center of the movable frame 5, and a T-shaped post 62 is inserted into the inner wall of the through hole 61. A spring 64 is fixedly installed at the top of the T-shaped post 62 near the corner and at the top of the movable frame 5. A fitting is fixedly installed at the bottom of the T-shaped post 62. A clamping seat 65 is located on the top surface of the spacer rod 4. A pull ring 63 is fixed to the top of the T-shaped column 62. Anti-slip grooves are evenly distributed at the bottom of the clamping seat 65. A spacer assembly is located at the bottom center of the movable frame 5. The spacer assembly includes a threaded cylinder 9 fixed at the bottom center of the movable frame 5. A spacer cone rod 10 is threaded onto the inner wall of the threaded cylinder 9. Multiple handles 13 are fixed to the outer wall of the spacer cone rod 10. The spacer cone rod 10 is rotated by the handles 13 to adjust its height to meet different needs. To meet the terrain requirements and ensure stable insertion into the soil as a spacing marker, a scale line 7 is provided on one side of the spacer rod 4, and an observation port 11 is provided on one side of the movable frame 5. An indicator rod 12 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the observation port 11. The position of the indicator rod 12 corresponds to the position of the scale line 7. The position of the movable frame 5 is displayed intuitively through the scale line 7 and the indicator rod 12. Combined with the slidable and adjustable movable frame 5 and the positioning component 6, the plant spacing is accurately set to ensure the consistency of plant spacing after transplanting.

[0024] Specifically, the spacer rod 4 is designed in a central control shape, and both sides of the spacer rod 4 are provided with sliding grooves 8. The inner walls of both sides of the movable frame 5 are fixedly installed with sliding blocks 14 that are slidably disposed in the sliding grooves 8. The movable frame 5 slides in the sliding grooves 8 of the spacer rod 4 through the sliding blocks 14 on both sides to ensure smooth sliding.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the first mounting hoop 21 and the second mounting hoop 23 in the mounting assembly 2 are wrapped around the transplanter body 1, and then fixed by the mounting ear 22 and screws, so that the spacer and the transplanter are integrated.

[0026] In use, the self-locking hinge 3 is used to unfold the spacer rod 4. The operator can adjust the spacing of the plants according to the required spacing by using the indicator rod 12 in the observation port 11 to correspond to the scale line 7 on the spacer rod 4, and use the pull ring 63 to pull the clamping seat 65 up. The movable frame 5 is slid and adjusted to the appropriate position. Then, the pull ring 63 in the positioning component 6 is released. The T-shaped column 62 moves down under the elastic force of the spring 64, which drives the clamping seat 65 to fit against the top surface of the spacer rod 4. The anti-slip groove at the bottom of the clamping seat 65 enhances the friction and fixes the movable frame 5.

[0027] Then, by rotating the handle 13 on the spacing cone 10 in the spacing assembly, the spacing cone 10 is moved up and down along the screw cylinder 9. After adjusting to the appropriate length, it is inserted into the soil to complete a spacing mark. During subsequent transplanting, this is used as a reference to repeat the operation to achieve precise spacing.

[0028] When not in use, the spacer rod 4 can be folded by the self-locking hinge 3 to reduce space occupation and make it easy to carry and store.

[0029] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
