Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural equipment technology, and in particular to a seedling support device for citrus planting. Background Technology

[0002] Citrus fruits belong to the Rutaceae family. They prefer warm and humid climates and are slightly more cold-resistant than pomelos, sour oranges, and sweet oranges. The Rutaceae family, Citrus subfamily, is distributed between 16° and 37° north latitude. They are tropical and subtropical evergreen fruit trees. There are three genera used for economic cultivation: Citrus, Citrus, and Citrus. Citrus fruits cultivated in China and other countries around the world are mainly of the Citrus genus.

[0003] In existing technologies, some auxiliary devices are required when planting citrus. During the planting process, citrus seedlings may fall over, making it impossible for them to meet the requirements for fruit production. Furthermore, since the area required for citrus planting is too large, the support devices are too bulky and may damage nearby citrus seedlings during movement. Adding mobile equipment to the bottom of the support device can also damage the citrus seedlings due to instability between the ground and the device during the support process. If the support equipment is placed on a mobile device, the movement of the support equipment consumes a lot of workers' physical strength and greatly reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0015] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a seedling support device for citrus planting includes a base 1, a support frame 115 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, a plurality of casters 127 fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1, and a clamping assembly provided inside the base 1. The clamping assembly includes a turntable 101, a threaded rod 102, and an arc-shaped clamping block 111. The threaded rod 102 is disposed on the side wall of the base 1 near the center. One end of the threaded rod 102 is fixedly connected to one side of the turntable 101. A movable collar 103 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rod 102. Two movable rods 106 and two movable rods 107 are rotatably connected to both sides of the movable collar 103. The movable ends of the two movable rods 106 are rotatably connected to movable rods 108. Two round shafts 105 are fixedly installed inside the base 1. The top of the two round shafts 105 is rotatably connected to limit rods 104. The other side of the two limit rods 104 is rotatably connected to the middle of the two movable rods 106. Arc-shaped clamping blocks 111 are provided at the front ends of the two movable rods 108. The arc-shaped clamping blocks 111 are mounted on the movable rods 108 through a fixing block 109 and a connecting block 110. The movable ends of the two movable rods 107 are rotatably connected to the middle of the two movable rods 108, respectively. In use, when the turntable 101 is rotated counterclockwise, the movable collar 103 moves forward along the threaded rod 102, and the two arc-shaped clamps 111 open; when the turntable 101 is rotated clockwise, the movable collar 103 moves backward along the threaded rod 102, and the two arc-shaped clamps 111 close, which can clamp the seedling trunk.

[0016] Both arc-shaped clamping blocks 111 have anti-slip pads 112 inside. The anti-slip pads 112 are made of rubber, which is elastic and can effectively protect the trunk of the seedling.

[0017] Two support rods 123 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1. A fixed shaft 124 is fixedly connected to one side of the two support rods 123. A diagonal rod 122 is hinged to the middle of the fixed shaft 124. A limit block 128 is fixedly connected to the other side of the diagonal rod 122. Two insertion rods 125 are rotatably connected inside the limit block 128. A positioning plate 126 is installed on the top of each of the two insertion rods 125. When in use, the operator steps on the two positioning plates 126 to make the insertion rods 125 insert into the ground for fixation.

[0018] The base 1 has movable grooves 113 on its inner and outer surfaces. A guide post 114 is fixedly installed inside the movable groove 113. The movable collar 103 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the guide post 114, making the movable collar 103 more stable when sliding.

[0019] A lifting assembly is provided at the top of the support frame 115. The lifting assembly includes two support columns 116, both of which are fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 115. A positioning column 117 is fixedly connected to the top of the two support columns 116. Two linkage discs 119 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the positioning column 117. A handle 118 is fixedly connected to one side of the two linkage discs 119. A lifting rope 120 is connected to the middle of the handle 118. A lifting rod 121 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting rope 120. The lower end of the lifting rod 121 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting block 128.

[0020] By lifting the handle 118 upwards, the lifting rope 120 and lifting rod 121 are moved upwards, thereby pulling out the rod 125 inserted into the ground, and the base 1 can be moved again.

[0021] Working principle: This equipment is a seedling support device for citrus planting. When in use, the operator lifts the handle 118 upwards, and pulls the lifting rod 121 through the lifting rope 120, which drives the limit block 128 to move upwards. After releasing the fixed state between the insertion rod 125 and the ground, the base 1 is pushed to move in the orchard through the universal wheels 127. When seedlings need support, the handle 118 is lowered, and the limiting block 128 falls to the ground under gravity. The worker steps on the positioning plate 126, causing the insertion rod 125 to be inserted into the ground to fix the device. Rotating the turntable 101 drives the threaded rod 102 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 102 causes the movable collar 103 to slide on its outer surface. At this time, the bottom of the movable collar 103 will slide back and forth on the outer surface of the guide post 114, making the sliding of the movable collar 103 more stable. When the movable collar 103 slides forward, the movable rods 106 and 107 on both sides will open to both sides under the rotational connection of the round shaft 105. At this time, the movable rod 108 will also drive the arc-shaped clamping block 111 to open to both sides through the connecting block 110. The device can adapt to clamping seedlings of different thicknesses. When the turntable 101 is rotated in the opposite direction, the movable ring 103 will move backward, and the movable rod 107 and the movable rod 106 will move towards the center. At this time, the arc-shaped clamping block 111 will move towards the center to clamp and fix the object. Rotating the turntable 101 can adapt to clamping different seedling sizes. The anti-slip pad 112 has a non-slip function to make the clamping more stable.

[0022] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
