Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of landscape greening technology, specifically to a simple ground cover planting auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] In landscaping and greening projects, ground cover plants are an important component, playing a key role in beautifying the environment, conserving water resources, stabilizing soil and preventing sand, regulating microclimate, and enriching landscape layers. However, their planting environment is mostly under trees.

[0003] During the planting process, due to the complex distribution of tree roots and the changes in terrain, large machinery is difficult to enter the site to carry out planting operations. At present, manual planting has become the main method. Among the publicly available related technologies, the traditional manual planting method mainly relies on workers to manually dig planting holes in the ground with simple tools such as hoes and shovels, and then plant ground cover plants.

[0004] However, traditional manual planting methods have shortcomings that need improvement. Digging with simple tools such as hoes and shovels requires repeated effort from the hands, and loose soil can easily slip back into the planting hole during the digging process, requiring manual cleaning. This leads to wasted manpower and low efficiency. Furthermore, manual operation relies mainly on experience and judgment. It is difficult to ensure that the planting depth of each ground cover plant is appropriate when different workers operate or when the same worker operates at different times. Improper planting depth can lead to the following problems: planting too deep can cause root rot due to lack of oxygen, while planting too shallow can make the plants prone to lodging and the roots susceptible to environmental factors such as drought, ultimately reducing the survival rate of ground cover plants and increasing later maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple ground cover planting auxiliary device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a simple ground cover planting auxiliary device, comprising: a soil-opening cone, which includes two symmetrically arranged semi-conical barrel structures. The top ends of the two semi-conical barrel structures are rotatably connected by a fixing bolt, so that the bottom tips of the two semi-conical barrel structures can be closed or opened. When the two semi-conical barrel structures are closed, they form a truncated cone shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The diameter of the top opening end is larger than the unfolded size of the ground cover root ball or bare-root ground cover rhizome, and the bottom tip is used to insert into the soil; an opening and closing assembly, which includes force-bearing rods. Two force-bearing rods are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the top of the soil-opening cone and respectively fixedly connected to the top of the two semi-conical barrel structures; and a control line, which is fixed to the fixing bolt of the soil-opening cone and extends outward in a horizontal direction. The control line is made of thin iron and horizontally fixed to the fixing bolt.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the force-bearing rod is located at the center of the top of the semi-conical barrel structure, and a fixing plate is provided at the connection between the force-bearing rod and the semi-conical barrel structure, with the upper end of the fixing plate fixedly connected to the force-bearing rod.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the upper section of the force-bearing rod is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft, and a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the end of the connecting shaft away from the force-bearing rod. A hinge seat is hinged to the outer wall of the end of the connecting rod away from the connecting shaft, and a pressure plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the hinge seat.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a pressing component is provided at the front end of the fixing plate. The pressing component includes a fixing rod, which is fixedly connected to the front surface of the fixing plate. A pedal is provided on the front side of the soil-opening cone. Positioning plates are fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the pedal. An arc-shaped groove is provided on the rear surface of the positioning plate. A sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pedal. A sliding rod is slidably connected inside the sleeve. The sliding rod passes through and is slidably connected to the upper surface of the sleeve. The upper end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the pressure plate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the load-bearing rod is an iron bar with a length of 30mm, and the soil-breaking cone is made by cutting and bending two pieces of 1mm thick galvanized iron sheet.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and is easy to operate. Through the cooperation of the pedal and the soil-opening cone, the bottom of the soil-opening cone in the closed state is sharp. Stepping on the pedal makes it easy to drive the soil-opening cone into the soil. Under the action of the opening and closing component and the pressing component, the soil-opening cone can be opened to open up the soil. There is no need to repeatedly exert force by shoveling soil. In addition, the soil-opening cone can prevent the surrounding soil from sliding into the planting hole, saving the manual cleaning step and improving the digging efficiency.

[0013] 2. In this utility model, the height of the soil-opening cone is fixed. By changing the depth of the soil-opening cone into the soil, the depth of the planting hole can be changed to suit different planting needs. Furthermore, by observing the soil-opening cone, a reference can be provided, thereby ensuring that the depth of the planting hole remains approximately the same. This avoids the problem of low plant survival rate caused by unsuitable planting hole depth, improves plant survival rate, and reduces subsequent maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0017] Example 1: like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the simple ground cover planting auxiliary device of this utility model includes: a soil-opening cone 1, which comprises two symmetrically arranged semi-conical structures. The tops of the two semi-conical structures are flexibly connected by fixing bolts 3, allowing the tops of the two semi-conical structures to rotate around the axis of the fixing bolts and to close or open the bottom tips of the two semi-conical structures. The opening and closing action breaks the soil. When the two semi-conical structures are closed, they form a frustum-shaped cone, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The opening and closing assembly includes two force-bearing rods 2, which are straight rods and symmetrically fixed on both sides of the top of the soil-opening cone 1. The two force-bearing rods 2 extend upward along the surface of the semi-conical structures and are fixedly connected to the tops of the two semi-conical structures respectively. A control line 4 is fixed to the fixing bolts 3 of the soil-opening cone 1 and extends outward in a horizontal direction.

[0018] Furthermore, the control line 4 is horizontally fixed to the fixing bolt 3 using thin iron.

[0019] In this embodiment, the force-bearing rod 2 is an iron rod with a length of 30mm, and the soil-breaking cone 1 is made by cutting and bending two pieces of 1mm thick galvanized iron sheet.

[0020] Example 2: Furthermore, such as Figures 4 to 6As shown, the upper section of the force-bearing rod 31 is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft 32. The outer wall of the end of the connecting shaft 32 away from the force-bearing rod is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 33. The outer wall of the end of the connecting rod 33 away from the connecting shaft 32 is hinged to a hinge seat 34. The lower surface of the hinge seat 34 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 35.

[0021] The force-bearing rod 2 is located at the center of the top of the semi-conical barrel structure. A fixing plate 2 is provided at the connection between the force-bearing rod 31 and the semi-conical barrel structure. The upper end of the fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the force-bearing rod 31, and a pressing component is provided at the front end of the fixing plate 2.

[0022] The pressing component includes a fixing rod 41, which is fixedly connected to the front surface of the fixing plate 2. A foot pedal 43 is provided on the front side of the soil-opening cone 1. Positioning plates 42 are fixedly connected to both ends of the foot pedal 43. An arc-shaped groove 46 is provided on the rear surface of the positioning plate 42. The fixing rod 41 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 46.

[0023] A sleeve 44 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pedal 43. A slide rod 45 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 44. The slide rod 45 passes through and is slidably connected to the upper surface of the sleeve 44. The upper end of the slide rod 45 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 35.

[0024] Example 3: The following describes how to use this utility model: Step 1: Place the soil-opening cone 1 at the predetermined planting position, ensuring that the two semi-cone structures are in a closed state and the bottom tip is aligned with the soil surface. Then, the operator steps on the pedal 43, and the force is transmitted through the pressing component, so that the soil-opening cone 1 is gradually inserted into the soil until the required planting depth is reached. This step utilizes the sharp bottom of the soil-opening cone 1 and the leverage effect of the pedal 43 to eliminate the need for manual hoeing, improve excavation efficiency, and prevent soil slippage.

[0025] Step 2: After the soil-opening cone 1 is fully inserted into the soil, the operator continues to press down the pressure plate 35. Through the connecting rod 33 and the hinge seat 34, the force is transmitted to push the two semi-conical structures to rotate around the fixing bolt 5, so that the bottom of the cone gradually opens, thereby forming a regular cone-shaped planting hole in the soil. This step uses the mechanical linkage of the opening and closing components to effectively open the soil, avoids manual cleaning of the soil in the hole, and ensures that the hole shape is neat.

[0026] Step 3: Place the ground cover plant into the opened planting hole, then slowly lift the support rod 31 upwards while gently shaking the soil-opening cone 1 to gradually close it and pull it out of the soil, leaving the plant in the hole. This step, by controlling the closing and pulling out of the soil-opening cone 1, avoids damage to the plant's root system and ensures accurate planting position.

[0027] Step 4: Use the control line 7 fixed on the fixing bolt 5 to locate the next hole. Straighten the control line 7 and fix it to the edge of the excavated hole. Use its length as a reference to determine the center position of the next hole. Repeat steps one to three to excavate continuously. This step ensures that the spacing between multiple planting holes is consistent through the length of the control line 7, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of planting.

[0028] Step 5: After completing the excavation and planting of a batch of holes, check whether all parts of the soil-opening cone 1 are back in place, clean up the adhering soil, and perform routine maintenance to ensure smooth operation the next time it is used. This step helps to extend the service life of the device and maintain its stability and reliability.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
