Description

The technical field to which the model belongs.

The utility model relates to hand-held devices used in agriculture for transplanting young strawberry bushes, seedlings, ground cover perennials, thickened seedlings of annuals and other small plants.

The level of technology.

When transplanting small plants, manual scoops are widely used, consisting of a handle and a concave blade, which is a continuation of the handle. The disadvantage of such scoops is that during the transplant a significant part of the removed earthen coma is crumbled, which leads to the separation of small roots, exposure of part of the root system and subsequent poor survival of the plant.

A device for plant transplantation (RU 5703 U1 IPC АСС 11/00 01/16/1998) in the form of a cylindrical body, handle and pressure element. The disadvantage of this device is that the lump of land with the transplanted plant is protected only on the sides of the cylinder. This does not allow to completely protect the plant from shedding the earth and exposing the roots. In addition, when transplanting a plant with a device in a new place in the ground, it is necessary to prepare a hole in advance. Given the uncertainty in the amount of land that will fall out of the device, the depth of the prepared hole may be incorrect, which can lead to unnecessarily deep or overestimated plants. Correction of this error causes additional damage to the transplanted plant.

Disclosure of a utility model.

To protect the earthen coma of the transplanted plant from destruction when digging, carrying and deepening (achieving a technical result), it is proposed in the utility model to cut a trihedral pyramid in the earth around the root of the plant with blades. The trihedral shape of the device ensures the alignment of the blades at the edges and their fixation. When carrying and planting the plant to a new place, the blades protect the cut earthen lump from destruction.

The device can be implemented in two main versions.

In the first embodiment, cutting is carried out with three blades in the form of isosceles triangular plates. The combination of the blades when cutting the coma and holding them in a stationary position when carrying the coma provides a bounding frame made in the form of three isosceles trapezoids, interconnected by the sides. The angles of inclination of the sides of the trapezoid should correspond to the angles of the sides of the blades.

In the second embodiment, cutting begins with the main blade in the form of two symmetrical triangular plates located at an angle relative to the common side, and ends with a locking blade in the form of an isosceles triangular plate. The size and shape of the locking blade must correspond to the size and shape of an isosceles triangle formed in the space of one of the two pairs of symmetrical sides of the triangles of the main blade (side edges of the main blade). The combination of the main and locking blades when cutting a lump and holding them in a fixed position provides a stop located on the lateral edges of the main blade.

The limiter can be made in the form of a single plate of trapezoidal shape, in the form of several plates and (or) staples. The main thing is that it restricts the movement of the locking blade outward from the main blade at four points: in the region of two remote corners of the main blade (i.e., on top of the locking blade) and at two intermediate points of the lateral edges of the main blade (i.e. in the intermediate part of the locking blades).

A brief description of the drawings.

Figure 1 shows the device (including the part located underground) according to the first embodiment. The bounding box 1 is located on the ground around the transplanted plant 4. The blade 2 is shown lowered into the frame until it stops. Two other blades 3 are shown at the time of their incomplete immersion in the ground.

Figure 2 shows the device (including the part located underground) according to the second embodiment with a limiter in the form of a plate with a curvature of the lower edge. The main blade 5 is immersed in the ground around the transplanted plant 6 to the required depth. The locking blade 7 is shown at the initial moment of immersion in the ground and is located behind the stop plate 8.

Figure 3 shows the device according to the second embodiment with a limiter in the form of four plates 9. The main blade 10 is immersed in the ground around the transplanted plant 11 to the required depth. The locking blade 12 is shown at the initial moment of immersion in the ground and is located behind the limiter plates.

Figure 4 shows the various configurations of the limiter for the second variant of the device. Lines show staples connecting the side edges of the main blade. Quadrangles show plates located in the plane of the lateral edges of the main blade.

Implementation of a utility model.

In the first embodiment of the device, the restrictive frame 1 is installed on the ground around the dug out plant with the tapering side down. Inside the frame, along its faces, 2-3 blades are alternately immersed in the ground. The blades, due to the shape of the bounding box, are closed with their lateral edges and cut a trihedral clod of earth around the root of the plant. After immersion, the bounding frame keeps the blades lowered to the stop in a fixed position, as the upper part of the blade is limited by the trapezoid along which the dive was made, and by two other lateral trapezoids located at sharp angles to it. Raising the bounding box 1 leads to the lifting of the blades fixed in it together with the clod of earth cut out.

In the second version of the device, the main blade 5 (10) is immersed in the ground at the required distance from the plant, at an angle. Wherein. In order not to damage the aerial part of the plant with the elements of the limiter, it must be carefully tucked into the device by hand. Then, inside the device, behind the limiter, the locking blade 7 (12) is immersed in the ground until it stops. The main and locking blades, due to their shape, are closed by their lateral edges and cut a trihedral clod of earth around the root of the plant. After immersion, the limiter 8 (9) holds the locking blade in a fixed position, as the upper and intermediate parts of the locking blade is limited by the limiter elements and the sides of the main blade located at acute angles to them. The raising of the main blade 5 (10) leads to the lifting of the locking blade 7 (12) fixed in it together with the cut out lump of earth.

In all cases, the flat shape of the blades protects the root system of the plant from mixing the earth, and there is no separation or exposure of small roots. The edges of the blades cut only a small part of the roots protruding outside the device.

To facilitate the immersion of the blades, in their upper part, thrust pads should be arranged in the form of edges bent outward. Similar edges are convenient in the first embodiment of the device at the upper edges of the bounding box for raising it.

Planting is carried out by immersing the device in the ground to the required depth by pressing hands on the base of the blades. According to the first option, you should simultaneously hold the bounding box 1 from the fingers from lowering. If the landing site has previously been dug up to the required depth, the trihedral shape of the device makes it easy to bury it in the ground.

After deepening the device, the blades are removed with one hand from the ground, holding the earthen ball with the other hand, so that it does not rise after the removed blade.

The device according to the first embodiment requires more materials for manufacturing, but is more compact and does not require skills from the user.

The devices according to the second embodiment require less materials for manufacturing, but are more bulky and require additional skill from the user (in particular, in choosing the place and direction of the cut with the main blade, in refueling the aerial part of the plant for the limiter elements).

The devices according to the second embodiment, in which the limiter does not have parts connecting both sides of the main blade, are easier to manufacture, but require greater rigidity of the main blade, because the distance between its distant corners is not fixed by brackets or plates. An additional advantage is the convenience of refueling the aerial parts of the plant inside the main blade (between the elements of the limiter).

In all cases, to reduce material consumption. flat blades can be made of thinner material by placing stiffeners on them in the form of a longitudinal bend.
