Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cutting propagation technology, and in particular to a soaking device for cuttings. Background Technology

[0002] Cuttings, also known as stem cuttings, are a common method of plant propagation. Stems, leaves, roots, buds, etc. (called cuttings in horticulture) can be taken and inserted into soil, sand, or soaked in water. Once roots develop, they can be planted to become independent new plants. To improve rooting efficiency, cuttings are often soaked in a nutrient solution before planting. This solution contains plant growth regulators (naphthaleneacetic acid NAA, indoleacetic acid IAA, indolebutyric acid IBA, ABT rooting powder), and the cuttings are planted only after absorbing the nutrients. Because cuttings are relatively light, they tend to float on the surface when placed in batches in a solution container, affecting the soaking effect, reducing the survival rate, and making them difficult to remove. To address this, Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN221843102U discloses a soaking device for cuttings. This device uses a clamping structure to hold the cuttings in place, ensuring that the bottom section of the cuttings is vertically immersed in the solution, preventing them from floating and affecting the soaking effect. Simultaneously, it provides positioning for the cuttings, ensuring that all cuttings are soaked to the same length, thus improving the soaking effect.

[0003] However, in the process of applying the above-mentioned existing technology, it was found that the device requires the previously soaked cuttings to be taken out before new branches are inserted in sequence during the crop rotation process, which is not conducive to improving the efficiency of crop rotation; at the same time, the clamping mechanism used in the existing technology is also not conducive to the use of vine cuttings whose branches are easily damaged. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art where scions are difficult to soak and rotate, and scions are easily damaged during clamping.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A soaking device for cuttings includes a soaking tank with a walking device at the bottom. A rotation mechanism is installed inside the soaking tank, comprising a pair of connecting rods symmetrically arranged within the soaking tank. Soaking baskets are hinged to both ends of each connecting rod and slidably connected to the soaking tank. A sleeve is engaged within each soaking basket, and an elastic clamping mechanism is provided within the sleeve. A first connecting shaft is provided between the connecting rods and connected to the soaking tank. A driving mechanism is mounted on the first connecting shaft, and a locking mechanism is mounted on the driving mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, the sleeve is provided with a plurality of elastic cards, and the soaking basket is provided with a plurality of card slots, wherein the elastic cards engage with the card slots.

[0007] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a pair of first gears symmetrically mounted on the first connecting shaft. A second connecting shaft is provided above the first connecting shaft. The second connecting shaft is a pair arranged on the soaking tub. A second gear is mounted on the second connecting shaft. The second gear meshes with the first gear and engages with the locking mechanism. A driving rod is provided on the second connecting shaft, and a first crossbar is provided between the driving rods.

[0008] Preferably, the drive rod includes a first connecting rod, which is sleeved with the second connecting shaft. A second connecting rod is sleeved on the first connecting rod, and the second connecting rod is sleeved with the first crossbar. A guide rod is also provided between the soaking tank and the first crossbar, and the guide rod is connected to the soaking tank. The first crossbar slides relative to the guide rod.

[0009] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a plurality of sliding grooves symmetrically distributed on the soaking tub. A sliding rod is provided on each sliding groove, a first spring is provided between the sliding rod and the sliding groove, a locking guide block is provided on the sliding rod, a locking pin is provided below the locking guide block, the locking pin engages with a second gear, the locking pin is slidably connected to the soaking tub, a second spring is provided between the locking pin and the soaking tub, a guide wheel is also provided at one end of the sliding rod, a plurality of driving guide blocks are provided on the first crossbar, the driving guide blocks are slidably connected to the first crossbar, a plurality of limiting blocks are provided on the driving guide blocks, the driving guide blocks are slidably connected to the guide wheel, and a second crossbar is provided between the driving guide blocks.

[0010] Preferably, the elastic clamping mechanism includes a plurality of clamping plates, the clamping plates sliding relative to the sleeve, an adjusting rod provided between the clamping plates and the sleeve, the adjusting rod being threadedly connected to the sleeve, and a third spring provided between the clamping plates and the sleeve.

[0011] The beneficial effects proposed by this utility model are as follows: After workers sequentially fill the sleeve with cuttings, as the sleeve gradually fills, the cuttings expand the elastic clamping mechanism, which in turn generates a counter-elastic clamping force, securing the cuttings within the sleeve. This flexible clamping allows the clamping force to adapt to the density of the cuttings, reducing the risk of damage from rigid clamping forces. After filling, the sleeve is placed inside the soaking basket and secured with a snap-fit ​​mechanism. Then, the connecting rod is flipped by the drive mechanism, moving the soaking basket downwards into the soaking tank, allowing the cuttings to be immersed in the medicinal solution. During this process, as the connecting rod flips under the drive of the driving mechanism, when one of the soaking baskets is placed at the bottom of the soaking tank for medicinal immersion, simultaneously, the other soaking basket moves upward to above the medicinal liquid surface under the drive of the connecting rod. While waiting for the cuttings to be soaked, the soaking basket raised above the liquid surface can drain the residual medicinal liquid. After draining, the sleeve is removed from the soaking basket and refilled with an unsoaked sleeve. Then, the driving mechanism moves it downward again until the cuttings are soaked in the medicinal liquid. This allows for rotation during the cutting soaking operation, which helps improve the efficiency of medicinal liquid use and further enhances the efficiency of the soaking operation.

[0012] Furthermore, the walking device is a walking wheel, which facilitates the movement of the device, making it easier to transport in the garden and enabling its circulation and arrangement in different locations.

[0013] Furthermore, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the soaking tank. The drain outlet can drain the medicine in the soaking tank, reducing the risk of the medicine settling and contaminating the soaking tank due to long-term storage in the soaking tank. At the same time, the drain outlet can also facilitate the discharge of wastewater during the cleaning process of the soaking tank. Attached Figure Description

[0016] 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.

[0017] Reference Figures 1 to 7A soaking device for cuttings includes a soaking tank 1, a walking device at the bottom of the soaking tank 1, a rotation mechanism inside the soaking tank 1, and a pair of connecting rods 4 symmetrically arranged inside the soaking tank 1. Soaking baskets 5 are hinged to both ends of each connecting rod 4 and are slidably connected to the soaking tank 1. A sleeve 6 is snapped into the soaking basket 5, and an elastic clamping mechanism is provided inside the sleeve 6. A first connecting shaft 7 is provided between the connecting rods 4 and is connected to the soaking tank 1. A driving mechanism is provided on the first connecting shaft 7, and a locking mechanism is provided on the driving mechanism. Specifically, after the workers sequentially fill the sleeve 6 with cuttings, as the sleeve 6 gradually fills with cuttings, the cuttings expand the elastic clamping mechanism, which in turn generates a reverse elastic clamping force, clamping the cuttings tightly within the sleeve 6. This flexible clamping allows the clamping force to be adjusted adaptively according to the compactness of the cuttings, reducing the risk of damage to the cuttings from rigid clamping forces. After the cuttings are filled, the sleeve 6 is placed inside the soaking basket 5 and secured with a snap-fit. Subsequently, the connecting rod 4 is driven by the drive mechanism to rotate, causing the soaking basket 5 to move downwards into the soaking tank 1, allowing the cuttings to be immersed in the medicinal solution. During this process, as the connecting rod 4 flips under the drive of the driving mechanism, when one of the soaking baskets 5 is placed at the bottom of the soaking tank 1 for medicinal soaking, simultaneously, the other soaking basket 5 moves upward to above the medicinal liquid surface under the drive of the connecting rod 4. While waiting for the cuttings to be soaked, the soaking basket 5 raised above the liquid surface can drain the residual medicinal liquid. After draining, the sleeve 6 is removed from the soaking basket 5 and refilled with an unsoaked sleeve 6. Then, the driving mechanism moves it downward again until the cuttings are soaked in the medicinal liquid. This allows for rotation during the cutting soaking operation, which helps improve the efficiency of medicinal liquid use and further enhances the efficiency of the soaking operation.

[0018] Furthermore, in order to maintain the smooth lifting and lowering of the soaking basket 5 within the soaking tub 1, the soaking basket 5 is provided with a slider 28, and the soaking tub 1 is provided with a slide rail 29. The slider 28 and the slide rail 29 are slidably connected, so that the soaking basket 5 can move vertically up and down within the soaking tub 1.

[0019] Furthermore, the walking device is a walking wheel 2, which facilitates the movement of the device, makes it easier to transport in the garden, and enables the device to be moved and arranged in different locations.

[0020] Furthermore, a drain outlet 3 is provided at the bottom of the soaking tank 1. The drain outlet 3 can drain the medicine in the soaking tank 1, reducing the risk of the medicine settling and contaminating the soaking tank 1 due to long-term storage in the soaking tank 1. At the same time, the drain outlet 3 can also facilitate the discharge of wastewater during the cleaning process of the soaking tank 1.

[0021] Specifically, the sleeve 6 is provided with several elastic clips 8, and the soaking basket 5 is provided with several locking blocks 9. The elastic clips 8 and the locking blocks 9 engage with each other. During the process of placing the sleeve 6 into the soaking tank 1, the elastic clips 8 and the locking blocks 9 engage. During this process, the locking blocks 9 limit the sleeve 6, reducing the risk of the sleeve 6 detaching from the soaking basket 5 due to buoyancy while immersed in the liquid. When the sleeve 6 is removed from the soaking basket 5, pressure is applied to the elastic clips 8, at which point the elastic clips 8 and the locking blocks 9 disengage. Then, the sleeve 6 can be removed from the soaking basket 5, realizing convenient assembly and disassembly of the sleeve 6 and the soaking basket 5, and improving the rotation efficiency of the soaking tank 1.

[0022] Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a pair of first gears 10 symmetrically mounted on the first connecting shaft 7. A second connecting shaft 11 is located above the first connecting shaft 7, and the second connecting shafts 11 are arranged in pairs on the soaking tub 1. A second gear 12 is mounted on the second connecting shaft 11, meshing with the first gears 10 and engaging with the locking mechanism. A driving rod is mounted on the second connecting shaft 11, and a first crossbar 13 is positioned between the driving rods. When the worker drives the driving rod to rotate around the second connecting shaft 11, the second gear 12 rotates synchronously with the driving rod. During the rotation of the second gear 12, it meshes with the first gears 10, causing them to rotate synchronously, thus outputting power to the first connecting shaft 7, and finally driving the connecting rod 4 to rotate. It should be noted that before driving the second gear 12 to rotate, the locking mechanism needs to be released from its engagement with the second gear 12. The above-described driving mechanism enables the soaking basket 5 to rotate.

[0023] Specifically, the drive rod includes a first connecting rod 14, which is sleeved with the second connecting shaft 11. A second connecting rod 15 is sleeved on the first connecting rod 14 and sleeved with the first crossbar 13. A guide rod 16 is also provided between the soaking tank 1 and the first crossbar 13, and the guide rod 16 is connected to the soaking tank 1. The first crossbar 13 slides relative to the guide rod 16. During the flipping process of the drive rod, its movement trajectory is arc-shaped, which easily results in the device requiring a large space to operate. Therefore, the drive rod is a telescopic structure formed by the first connecting rod 14 and the second connecting rod 15. The worker only needs to apply pressure to the first crossbar 13, so that the first crossbar 13 slides up and down relative to the soaking tank 1. Simultaneously, the first connecting rod 14 and the second connecting rod 15 rotate around the second connecting shaft 11. The first crossbar 13 is limited by the guide rod 16, so that the first crossbar 13 always moves around the axis of the guide rod 16. This ensures that the movement trajectory of the outermost edge of the drive rod is always on the same vertical line during the rotation process, which is beneficial for operation in environments with limited space.

[0024] Specifically, the locking mechanism includes several sliding grooves 17 symmetrically distributed on the soaking tub 1. Each sliding groove 17 has a sliding rod 18, with a first spring 21 between the sliding rod 18 and the sliding groove 17. Each sliding rod 18 has a locking guide block 19, with a locking pin 20 below the locking guide block 19. The locking pin 20 engages with the second gear 12 and is slidably connected to the soaking tub 1. A second spring 30 is located between the locking pin 20 and the soaking tub 1. One end of each sliding rod 18 also has a guide wheel 22. The first crossbar 13 also has several driving guide blocks 23 slidably connected to the first crossbar 13. Each driving guide block 23 has several limiting blocks and is slidably connected to the guide wheel 22. A second crossbar 24 is located between the driving guide blocks 23. When the locking mechanism releases the lock on the second gear 12, the drive rod flips downwards. The worker applies pressure to the second crossbar 24, and the second crossbar 24 moves downwards aligned with the first crossbar 13. During this process, the drive guide block 23 moves synchronously with the second crossbar 24, and the guide wheel 22 moves close to and along the shape of the drive guide block 23. It should be noted that the guide line cross section of the drive guide block 23 is an isosceles trapezoid, so that the movement trajectory of the guide wheel 22 is an isosceles trapezoid. During this process, the guide wheel 22 drives the slide bar 18 to slide back and forth on the slide groove 17. Synchronously, as the slide bar 18 reciprocates linearly, the locking guide block 19 moves linearly in the same direction as the slide bar 18. When the locking pin 20 is released from its engagement limit with the second gear 12, the locking guide block 19 releases the pressure on the locking pin 20, and the locking pin 20 moves upward under the action of the second spring 30. Conversely, when the locking pin 20 is engaged with the second gear 12, the locking guide block 19 applies downward pressure to the locking pin 20, causing the locking pin 20 to penetrate into the tooth spacing of the second gear 12, thus achieving the engagement limit between the locking pin 20 and the second gear 12.

[0025] It should be noted that during the reciprocating movement of the slide rod 18 via the drive guide block 23, the first spring 21 is used to assist in driving the extension and retraction of the slide rod 18. During this process, when the locking pin 20 locks the second gear 12, the drive guide block 23 pushes the slide rod 18 back, and the first spring 21 is compressed. When the locking pin 20 releases the restriction on the second gear 12, the first spring 21 releases the stored elastic force, extending the slide rod 18 outward.

[0026] Furthermore, the limiting block is used to limit the travel range of the drive guide block 23, thereby limiting the rotation range of the first gear 10 and enabling the connecting rod 4 to reciprocate, so that the soaking basket 5 can be raised and lowered repeatedly to achieve alternating soaking.

[0027] Specifically, the elastic clamping mechanism includes several clamping plates 25, which slide relative to the sleeve 6. An adjusting rod 26 is provided between the clamping plates 25 and the sleeve 6, and the adjusting rod 26 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 6. A third spring 27 is provided between the clamping plates 25 and the sleeve 6. To achieve flexible clamping of the scions, several clamping plates 25 are installed inside the sleeve 6. The clamping plates 25 can slide relative to the sleeve 6, and the two are connected by the third spring 27. When scions are filled between the clamping plates 25, the clamping plates 25 compress the third spring 27 under the action of the scions. At this time, the third spring 27 generates a reverse elastic force to drive the clamping plates 25 to form a clamping force on the scions. Due to the elastic force, the clamping force is flexible, thereby reducing damage to the scions during the clamping process. Furthermore, for different numbers of scions, the clamping force of the clamping plate 25 can be adjusted by the adjusting rod 26, that is, the range of travel of the clamping plate 25 can be adjusted to accommodate different types and numbers of scions.

[0028] It should be noted that the soaking basket 5, the sleeve 6 and the clamping plate 25 are all hollow structures, which facilitates the soaking of the medicinal solution into contact with the cuttings.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
