Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moisturizing sleeve technology, specifically a moisturizing sleeve for grafting young branches of soapberry. Background Technology

[0002] Soapberry (Gleditsia sinensis) is a common legume widely used in horticulture, medicine, and ecology. Its softwood grafting, as a highly efficient propagation technique, plays a significant role in agricultural practice. Softwood grafting involves grafting newly sprouted shoots of the soapberry plant onto a suitable rootstock to achieve variety improvement, rapid propagation, or enhanced resistance. This process requires extremely precise operation and environmental control because the tender shoot tissue is rich in water and extremely fragile, easily wilting due to water loss after grafting, leading to grafting failure. The moisture retention stage is particularly crucial. In the early stages of grafting, the tender shoots need a stable, high-humidity environment to maintain cell activity, promote callus formation at the graft union, and accelerate the healing process. This not only affects the graft survival rate but also influences subsequent growth rate and overall plant quality. In soapberry softwood grafting, a moisture-retaining device is used to wrap and protect the grafting site, preventing external environmental interference and simulating ideal microclimate conditions. However, the grafting process also involves ventilation requirements to balance humidity and air circulation, avoiding problems caused by excessive sealing. Although moisture retention is indispensable in the grafting of young soapberry branches, existing technologies have significant shortcomings. Traditional moisture retention methods such as plastic bags, damp cloths, or simple sleeves can provide basic humidity, but they lack an effective ventilation mechanism, resulting in excessive humidity. This excessive sealing can easily cause mold, rot, or disease growth in the scions, seriously affecting the grafting success rate and plant health. In addition, existing devices are inconvenient to disassemble, and when it is necessary to check the grafting progress, adjust the position, or remove them, the operation is cumbersome and easily damages the tender branch tissue. Therefore, we propose a special moisture retention sleeve for grafting young soapberry branches. Utility Model Content

The upper and lower ends of the right-side moisturizing half-bucket are provided with two corresponding arc-shaped actuating strips, and the arc-shaped actuating strips are fixed to the side of the corresponding connecting block. The actuating component drives the four arc-shaped plates to move.

[0006] Furthermore, the fastening assembly includes a fixing block, a sliding rod, an arc-shaped fastening block, a connecting plate, and a spring. Two corresponding fixing blocks are fixed at the upper and lower ends of the right-side moisturizing half-bucket. A sliding opening is provided in the middle of the fixing block, and a sliding rod is slidably connected inside the sliding opening. An arc-shaped fastening block is fixed at the left end of the sliding rod, and the arc-shaped fastening block fits against the arc-shaped actuating strip.

The right end of the spring is fixed to the left end of the connecting plate, and the left end of the spring is fixed to the right side of the fixing block. By setting the arc-shaped fastening block, the stability of the arc-shaped actuating strip can be effectively guaranteed.

[0007] Furthermore, the sealing assembly includes rubber tubes and rubber rings. Two corresponding rubber tubes are fixed at the upper and lower ends of the two moisturizing half-buckets, and rubber rings are evenly distributed inside the rubber tubes. Openings are provided in the middle of the two rubber tubes and all the rubber rings. By setting the sealing assembly, the gap between the soapberry twigs and the two moisturizing half-buckets can be sealed.

[0008] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes snap-fit ​​frames and snap-fit ​​connectors. Four corresponding snap-fit ​​frames are fixed to the surface of the left moisturizing half-bucket, and snap-fit ​​connectors are snapped into the inside of the snap-fit ​​frames. All four snap-fit ​​connectors are fixed to the surface of the right moisturizing half-bucket. The two moisturizing half-buckets are connected by setting the snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This special moisturizing sleeve for grafting young soapberry branches has the following advantages: This sleeve achieves a dynamic balance between high humidity and air circulation through an innovative venting mechanism. The sponge semi-ring absorbs excess moisture, and the adjustable vent design allows users to precisely control the ventilation volume, avoiding mold or rot caused by excessive sealing. This not only maintains the activity of the tender shoot tissue but also promotes the healthy formation of callus tissue at the graft union, significantly reducing the risk of grafting failure. Secondly, the sleeve adopts a modular structure and a simple snap-fit ​​system. Disassembly requires no complicated tools or extra steps; users can easily open the device by separating the snap-fit ​​connector from the snap-fit ​​frame.

[0014] The working principle of the special moisturizing sleeve for grafting young soapberry branches provided by this utility model is as follows: Two moisturizing half-buckets 1 are connected by a snap-fit ​​assembly 6, which includes a snap-fit ​​frame 61 and a snap-fit ​​connector 62. During installation, the snap-fit ​​connector 62 is embedded in the snap-fit ​​frame 61 to form a stable connection. During disassembly, the two half-buckets can be easily removed by simply separating the snap-fit ​​connector 62, avoiding damage to the young branches. During use, the young soapberry branches are wrapped inside the bucket. The sealing assembly 5 includes a rubber tube 51 and a rubber ring 52. The rubber tube 51 is fixed at the upper and lower ends inside the two moisturizing half-buckets 1, and the rubber ring 52 is evenly distributed inside the rubber tube 51. An opening is provided in the middle to accommodate the size of the young branches. The elasticity of the rubber material and the multi-layer structure tightly seal the gap between the young branches and the bucket wall, preventing moisture loss and maintaining a high humidity environment. Sponge half-rings 21 are fixed at the upper and lower ends inside the moisturizing half-bucket 1 to absorb excess moisture and buffer humidity fluctuations. The bucket wall has evenly distributed first exhaust holes 22 to allow external air to seep in, and the bucket wall is slidably connected in the arc-shaped groove inside. The arc-shaped plate 23 has a second vent 24. By moving the arc-shaped plate 23, the second vent 24 can be aligned or misaligned with the first vent 22, thereby finely adjusting the ventilation volume and avoiding excessive sealing that could lead to mold or rot. The actuating assembly 3 includes a connecting block 31 and an arc-shaped actuating strip 32. The connecting block 31 is fixed to the side of the arc-shaped plate 23 and extends to the arc-shaped opening of the moisturizing half-bucket 1. When the user actuates the arc-shaped actuating strip 32, it causes the connecting block 31 and the arc-shaped plate 23 to slide within the arc-shaped groove. The movement changes the corresponding state of the exhaust port; the fastening component 4 includes a fixing block 41, a sliding rod 42, an arc-shaped fastening block 43, a connecting plate 44, and a spring 45. The spring 45 is sleeved on the sliding rod 42, and its elasticity pushes the arc-shaped fastening block 43 to fit the arc-shaped actuating strip 32, ensuring that the position is stable and does not loosen after adjustment. The whole process maintains a constant humidity environment to promote the formation of callus tissue at the interface, while optimizing air circulation through an active ventilation mechanism. Disassembly only requires operation of the snap-fit ​​component 6, simplifying post-grafting management and improving the success rate.
