Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of planting hole drilling technology, and in particular relates to an adjustable hole puncher for controlling the planting depth of orchid seedlings. Background Technology

[0002] Orchids, as globally prized ornamental flowers, hold a significant position in the flower market due to their elegant appearance, vibrant colors, and unique fragrance. In orchid cultivation, seedling transplanting is a crucial step, and the transplanting depth is a core factor affecting the survival rate, growth rate, and subsequent development quality of orchid seedlings. An appropriate transplanting depth provides a stable growing environment for orchid seedlings, ensuring full contact between the roots and soil, facilitating the absorption of water and nutrients, and preventing problems such as root rot due to excessive depth or seedling lodging due to insufficient depth.

[0003] Currently, orchid growers mainly rely on tools such as iron rods when planting seedlings. However, the structure of these tools is fixed, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the drilling depth according to the unique needs of different orchid varieties, the size differences of seedlings, and the characteristics of the planting substrate. This makes it difficult to achieve precise planting in practice, ultimately negatively impacting the growth quality and survival rate of orchid seedlings. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable hole punch for controlling the planting depth of orchid seedlings. It has a simple structure and the drilling depth can be adjusted as needed to complete the planting of orchid seedlings.

[0005] The adjustable hole punch for controlling the planting depth of orchid seedlings includes a vertically arranged hole punch with a ring cutter installed at the bottom. A support rod is vertically fixed at the top of the hole punch. A push plate is horizontally arranged inside the hole punch and slides vertically with it. A through hole is opened in the middle of the push plate. A vertical rod is vertically fixed at the top of the push plate. Two limiting sleeves are installed on the front side wall of the support rod. An adjustment component for adjusting the position of the push plate inside the hole punch is provided on the vertical rod between the limiting sleeves.

[0006] Furthermore, the adjustment component includes a clamp, which is fitted onto the vertical rod. The two movable ends of the clamp have through holes that communicate with each other. A screw rod is inserted into the through hole, and nuts that are threadedly fitted onto both sides of the screw rod are fitted therewith.

[0007] Furthermore, a rubber pad is fixed to the inner wall of the clamp.

[0008] Furthermore, the vertical rod is provided with scale lines.

[0009] Furthermore, the punch, the ring cutter, and the front end of the push plate are all provided with notches.

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0015] Example 1 This embodiment describes an adjustable hole punch for controlling the planting depth of orchid seedlings, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a vertically arranged hole punch 9, which has a round tube structure and is used to hold the roots of orchid seedlings and the soil attached to the roots. A ring cutter 11 is installed at the bottom of the hole punch 9. The ring cutter 11 is fixed on the hole punch 9. Pressing down the hole punch 9 will drive the ring cutter 11 to insert into the soil, digging the orchid seedling and soil into the hole punch 9. The top of the punch 9 is vertically fixed with a support rod 3, and the lower end of the support rod 3 is fixed to the top of the punch 9. The punch 9 can be moved by holding the support rod 3. A push plate 10 is horizontally arranged inside the punch 9 and slides up and down with it. The push plate 10 is horizontally arranged inside the punch 9 and slides up and down along the inner side wall of the punch 9 to push out the soil inside the punch 9. The push plate 10 has a through hole in the middle that connects the top and bottom. The through hole is used for the above-ground stems and leaves of the orchid seedlings to pass through, reducing the impact on the orchid seedlings during planting. A vertical rod 6 is fixed to the top of the push plate 10. The lower end of the vertical rod 6 is fixed to the top of the push plate 10. The push plate 10 is moved inside the punch 9 by the vertical rod 6. Two limiting sleeves are installed on the front side wall of the support rod 3, which are distributed vertically. There are two limiting sleeves, namely the upper limiting sleeve 4 and the lower limiting sleeve 7. The two limiting sleeves are used to limit the movement of the vertical rod 6, so that it moves up and down along the length of the support rod 3. The clamp 5 is fitted onto the vertical rod 6 and slides up and down along the length of the vertical rod 6. The clamp 5 is located between two limiting sleeves. By adjusting the height of the clamp 5 to abut against the limiting sleeves, the height of the push plate 10 inside the punch 9 is controlled, thereby controlling the drilling depth. The two movable ends of the clamp 5 have through holes that connect left and right. A screw 15 is inserted through the through holes. Nuts 14 with threaded engagement are fitted on both sides of the screw 15. By tightening the two nuts 14, the two movable ends of the clamp 5 are driven to clamp the vertical rod 6, fixing the clamp 5 onto the vertical rod 6. This section as a whole constitutes an adjustment component for adjusting the position of the push plate 10 inside the punch 9. When using the adjustment component, it is adjusted according to the needs. To determine the drilling depth, adjust the height of the push plate 10 relative to the drill 9. Once the position is determined, move the clamp 5 upwards so that it abuts against the upper limit sleeve 4. By tightening the two nuts 14, the clamp 5 is fixed to the vertical rod 6. When the drill 9 is inserted into the soil, the soil can only reach the position of the push plate 10 at most, thus controlling the drilling depth of the drill 9. Alternatively, the adjustment assembly can also fix a rubber pad 13 on the inner wall of the clamp 5. When the clamp 5 clamps the vertical rod 6, the rubber pad 13 presses against the outer wall of the vertical rod 6, increasing the friction between the rubber pad 13 and the vertical rod 6, preventing the clamp 5 from sliding up and down along the length of the vertical rod 6 after the position is fixed.

[0016] In this embodiment, the hole punch 9 is moved to the soil where planting is to be carried out. The height of the push plate 10 inside the hole punch 9 is adjusted according to the required drilling depth. After the position is determined, the clamp 5 is moved upwards to block the upper limit sleeve 4. When the hole punch 9 is inserted into the soil, the soil can only reach the position of the push plate 10 at most. The upper limit sleeve 4 prevents the clamp 5 from moving upwards, thereby controlling the drilling depth of the hole punch 9. After adjusting the clamp 5, the user holds the support rod 3, aligns the hole punch 9 with the planting position, inserts the support rod 3 downwards, and steps on the top of the hole punch 9. The user then inserts the hole punch 9 into the soil using the ring cutter 11. The user observes that the soil fills the push plate. When drilling hole 10, pull out support rod 3 upwards, remove the hole punch 9 from the soil, move vertical rod 6 up and down to move push plate 10 inside hole punch 9, shake out the soil inside hole punch 9, then move hole punch 9 next to orchid seedling. The above-ground stem and leaves of orchid seedling enter hole punch 9 after passing through the notch of hole punch 9. Dig the orchid seedling into hole punch 9 in the same way. Finally, move hole punch 9 with orchid seedling into the pre-drilled hole, push push plate 10 to push the orchid seedling out of hole punch 9, leaving it in the pre-drilled hole, compact the surrounding soil, water thoroughly, and complete the transplanting and planting of orchid seedling.

[0017] Example 2 This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 2 As shown, the vertical rod 6 is provided with a scale line 12, which quantifies the position of the push plate 10 in the punch 9, making it easy for the user to accurately control the punching depth.

[0018] Example 3 This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 2 As shown, the punch 9, the ring cutter 11, and the push plate 10 all have notches at their front ends. The notches are for the orchid's above-ground stems and leaves to pass through. After the punch 9 has a notch, it can be moved from the side of the orchid seedling when transplanting the orchid seedling. After the orchid seedling passes through the notch, it is located inside the punch 9. Compared with the existing ring-shaped punch that needs to be inserted from the top of the orchid seedling, the side approach can avoid the punch 9 scratching the above-ground stems and leaves of the orchid seedling, which greatly improves the survival rate of the orchid seedling.

[0019] Example 4 This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a baffle 8 is horizontally fixed at the top opening of the punch 9. A through hole for the orchid root to pass through is provided in the middle of the baffle 8. The baffle 8 is fixed at the top opening of the punch 9. The baffle 8 restricts the push plate 10 to move only inside the punch 9, preventing the push plate 10 from falling out of the punch 9.

[0020] Example 5 This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 3 As shown, a main handle 1 is fixed to the upper end of the support rod 3. The main handle 1 has a U-shaped structure with the opening facing backward. A secondary handle 2 is fixed horizontally to the upper end of the vertical rod 6. The main handle 1 controls the operation of inserting or lifting the support rod 3, and the secondary handle 2 controls the movement of the push plate 10 inside the punch 9. The main handle 1 with the opening facing backward will not block the movement and use of the secondary handle 2, thus avoiding interference between the two handles during use.
