Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amaryllis, and in particular to a root separation device for amaryllis bulb propagation. Background Technology

[0002] Amaryllis, also known as Red Amaryllis or Chinese Amaryllis, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family and the Amaryllis genus. It originated in Brazil and is cultivated in many places. Amaryllis has large, nearly spherical bulbs, bright green, strap-shaped leaves, hollow and slightly flattened flower stalks, and large, bright flowers, making it highly ornamental. It is often used as a bonsai plant or an outdoor landscape plant.

[0003] However, in the current root separation operation of amaryllis bulb propagation, it mostly relies on manual operation with hand-held blades, which makes it difficult to automatically cut the amaryllis bulbs for root separation, thus increasing the labor intensity and the risk of operating the blades. To address this issue, we propose a root separation device for amaryllis bulb propagation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a root separation device for propagating amaryllis bulbs, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A root separation device for propagating amaryllis bulbs includes a base, a support plate fixedly connected to the back of the base, a sliding opening on the front of the support plate, an mounting plate fixedly installed on the right side of the support plate, an electric push rod fixedly installed on the left side of the mounting plate, a movable plate fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the electric push rod, a cutting blade fixedly installed on the left side of the movable plate, an auxiliary plate fixedly installed on the front of the support plate, and two fixing components on the top of the base.

[0006] In a further embodiment, both of the fixing components include a connecting plate fixedly mounted on the front of the support plate, and each of the two connecting plates has a threaded opening on one of its opposite sides, with a screw threaded into the interior of each of the two threaded openings.

[0007] In a further embodiment, each of the two connecting plates has an arc-shaped clamp on one side that is close to each other, and a bearing is fixedly embedded on one side that is far from each other. The inner rings of the two bearings are respectively fixedly connected to the two screws at their close ends.

[0008] In a further embodiment, a sliding groove is provided on the front side of the bearing plate, and two sliding blocks are slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The front sides of the two sliding blocks are respectively fixedly installed to the back sides of the two arc-shaped clamps.

[0009] In a further embodiment, the upper surface of the base has two sets of mounting ports, and a collection hopper is placed on the upper surface of the base.

[0010] In a further embodiment, a control panel is fixedly mounted on the front of the support plate, and the electric push rod is electrically connected to the control panel via a wire.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This device uses two fixing components to clamp and fix the amaryllis bulbs, preventing them from shifting during cutting and reducing cutting deviations caused by bulb movement. This improves the accuracy of root separation. The electric push rod drives the moving plate and cutting blade to move horizontally to the left, thereby automatically cutting and separating the roots of the fixed amaryllis bulbs. This separates the roots of the mother bulb and daughter bulbs, reducing the physical exertion of manual operation and lowering the risks associated with operating the cutting tools.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model discloses a root separation device for propagating amaryllis bulbs, comprising a base 1, a support plate 2 fixedly connected to the back of the base 1, a sliding opening 3 on the front of the support plate 2, an mounting plate 4 fixedly installed on the right side of the support plate 2, an electric push rod 5 fixedly installed on the left side of the mounting plate 4, a moving plate 6 fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the electric push rod 5, a cutting blade 7 fixedly installed on the left side of the moving plate 6, an auxiliary plate 8 fixedly installed on the front of the support plate 2, and two fixing components 9 above the base 1. These two fixing components 9 clamp and fix the amaryllis bulbs, preventing bulb displacement during cutting, reducing cutting deviations caused by bulb shaking, and improving the accuracy of root separation. The electric push rod 5 drives the moving plate 6 and the cutting blade 7 to move horizontally to the left, automatically cutting and separating the roots of the fixed amaryllis bulbs, separating the roots of the mother bulb and daughter bulbs, reducing the physical exertion of manual operation, and lowering the risk of operating the cutting blades.

[0021] Both fixing components 9 include a connecting plate 901 fixedly mounted on the front of the bearing plate 2. Each connecting plate 901 has a screw hole 902 on its opposite side. Each screw hole 902 is threaded with a screw rod 903. Each connecting plate 901 has an arc-shaped clamping plate 905 on its opposite side. Each arc-shaped clamping plate 905 has a bearing 904 fixedly embedded on its opposite side. The inner rings of the two bearings 904 are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the two screw rods 903. By using the two fixing components 9, the two screw rods 903 can be rotated to drive the two arc-shaped clamping plates 905 to move closer to each other until the two arc-shaped clamping plates 905 clamp and fix the amaryllis bulbs, preventing the bulbs from shifting during subsequent cutting.

[0022] The front of the support plate 2 is provided with a sliding groove 13. Two sliding blocks 14 are slidably connected inside the sliding groove 13. The front of the two sliding blocks 14 are fixedly installed to the back of the two arc-shaped clamps 905 respectively. The upper surface of the base 1 is provided with two sets of mounting ports 10. A collection hopper 11 is placed on the upper surface of the base 1. A control panel 12 is fixedly installed on the front of the support plate 2.
