Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cultivation rack technology, specifically to a cultivation rack for watermelon seedlings. Background Technology

[0002] Seedling cultivation refers to the process of cultivating and germinating seedlings using seeds or asexual propagation materials in a seedbed or other suitable environmental conditions during the planting process. The watermelon seedling cultivation process generally includes germination, transplanting, and planting.

[0003] In existing technologies, pre-germinated seeds are typically planted in containers within a cultivation rack during transplanting. Traditionally, when watermelon seedlings have three leaves and a central bud, the seedlings are pulled from the container along with the seedling substrate by the stalk. Although the container is designed as a cone shape (wider at the top and narrower at the bottom), there is still adhesion between the seedling substrate and the container's inner wall, which can easily damage the seedlings. Furthermore, Chinese patent CN 114271130 B discloses a seedling rack for agricultural planting. When transplanting seedlings at the end of the seedling cultivation stage, the seedling cultivation device can be lifted and disassembled. By releasing the opening and closing structure of the mesh, the soil and seedlings can be removed and transferred to the planting environment. This eliminates the need to shovel the soil and separate the seedlings, allowing for convenient and rapid seedling transfer. It also ensures that the seedling roots remain in the soil within the mesh, preventing damage to the root system and affecting survival rates during transfer. However, this device requires manual operation on each individual seedling, which is time-consuming.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a cultivation rack for watermelon seedlings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, adapt to practical needs, and provide a cultivation rack for watermelon seedlings to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] To achieve the objectives of this invention, the technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0007] A watermelon seedling cultivation rack includes a frame body. Several cultivation containers are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame body. Each cultivation container includes a box body. The box body is provided with staggered longitudinal and transverse movable plates, which divide the inner cavity of the box body into several cultivation chambers. Reserved areas are formed on the front and right sides of the inner cavity of the box body. The lower surface of the longitudinal movable plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box body, and the top of the longitudinal movable plate has a longitudinal passage groove extending downwards. The right side of the transverse movable plate is slidably connected to the right inner wall of the box body, and the bottom of the transverse movable plate has a transverse passage groove extending upwards. The longitudinal and transverse movable plates can move within the box body to loosen the seedling substrate.

[0008] Furthermore, a seedling outlet is provided on the front side of the reserved area, and the horizontal movable plate can be moved to push the watermelon seedlings and seedling base to the seedling outlet.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the frame is slidably connected to a sliding plate for receiving watermelon seedlings and seedling substrate. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding plate. A threaded hole is opened on the upper surface of the connecting block on the right side, and a threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the side of the frame. A base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame. The top end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the fixing block on the right side, and the bottom end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the base plate on the right side. A motor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing block on the right side. The output end of the motor passes through the fixing block on the right side and is fixedly connected to the top end of the threaded rod. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate on the left side. A sliding hole is opened on the upper surface of the connecting block on the left side, and the inner wall of the sliding hole is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a common connector is connected between two adjacent transverse movable plates, and the side of the connector is slidably connected to the opposite surface of two adjacent longitudinal movable plates. The connector is used to enable several transverse movable plates or several longitudinal movable plates to move synchronously.

[0011] Furthermore, the connector includes two filter plates, and a rotating seat is provided at the end of the two filter plates that are close to each other. The rotating seat is inverted U-shaped, and the filter plates are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating seat. A hinge is provided at the connection between the filter plates and the transverse movable plate, and the filter plates are hinged to the transverse movable plate. A slider is rotatably connected to the side of the filter plates. Sliding grooves are provided on the opposite surfaces of two adjacent longitudinal movable plates, and the sliders are slidably connected to the sliding grooves.

[0012] Furthermore, a first drainage outlet is formed between the transverse movable plate and the inner bottom wall of the box body, and a second drainage outlet is provided on the side of the longitudinal movable plate. The second drainage outlet is located at the front of the reserved area. A rubber block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate. The rubber block can seal the seedling outlet. The height of the rubber block is equal to the thickness of the seedling outlet. A drainage groove is provided on the inner bottom wall at the front of the reserved area. A drainage pipe connected to the drainage groove is fixedly connected to one side of the box body. The sliding rod is hollow with both ends closed, and the drainage pipe is fixedly connected to the sliding rod and extends into the interior of the sliding rod. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower surfaces of two adjacent transverse movable plates are provided with the same cleaning element, which is used to clean the filter plates and prevent clogging.

[0014] Furthermore, the cleaning component includes mounting strips fixedly connected to the lower surfaces of two adjacent transverse movable plates, and the same airbag made of rubber material is fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two mounting strips. The airbag has a storage cavity for storing air, and fine holes are opened on the upper surface of the airbag for blowing air. An air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the airbag, one end of the air inlet pipe passes through the mounting strip, and an air valve is installed inside the air inlet pipe.

[0015] Furthermore, the surface of the airbag is provided with several creases to facilitate folding of the airbag.

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In this invention, by setting a longitudinal movable plate, several cultivation chambers can be moved to the left, thereby moving the watermelon seedling to the left by one cultivation chamber position. This loosens the seedling base from the transverse movable plate at the front and rear sides. By setting a transverse movable plate, several cultivation chambers can be moved forward, thereby moving the watermelon seedling to the forward by one cultivation chamber position. This loosens the seedling base from the longitudinal movable plate at the left and right sides, making it convenient for the user to remove the watermelon seedling connected to the seedling base. By setting a seedling outlet, the watermelon seedling moved to the corresponding position can be removed from the box. Compared with the prior art of lifting the seedling stem and rotating a single seedling, this watermelon seedling cultivation rack has the effect of preventing seedling damage and speed.

[0018] 2. In this invention, by setting a connector, when the rightmost longitudinal movable plate is moved, other longitudinal movable plates can be moved synchronously, and when the frontmost transverse movable plate is moved, other transverse movable plates can be moved synchronously, thereby improving the overall efficiency. By setting the connector as two rotatable filter plates, several transverse movable plates can be folded, reducing the space occupied by the device when pushing the seedling base towards the seedling outlet.

[0019] 3. In this invention, by setting a filter plate, excess water can be discharged to the bottom of the box when watering. By setting a first drain outlet and a second drain outlet, water can flow into the drainage trough and then be discharged or recycled through the drain pipe, slide bar and drain pipe.

[0020] 4. In this invention, by setting up a cleaning component, during the folding process of two adjacent transverse movable plates, the two mounting strips are driven closer together, thereby squeezing the airbag, causing the air in the storage cavity to be discharged from the fine holes and blown toward the filter plate, clearing the filter plate. Moreover, the airflow direction is opposite to the flow direction of the filter plate, improving the cleaning effect and preventing it from being blocked so that it can be used again later.

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-11 The present invention is further illustrated by the embodiments:

[0035] like Figure 1-11 As shown, a watermelon seedling cultivation rack includes a frame body 1. Several cultivation containers 2 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame body 1. Each cultivation container 2 includes a box body 201. The box body 201 is provided with staggered longitudinal movable plates 202 and transverse movable plates 203. The longitudinal movable plates 202 and transverse movable plates 203 divide the inner cavity of the box body 201 into several cultivation chambers 204. The front and right sides of the inner cavity of the box body 201 form reserved areas 205. The lower surface of the longitudinal movable plate 202 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box body 201, and the top of the longitudinal movable plate 202 has a longitudinal passage groove 206 from top to bottom. The right side of the transverse movable plate 203 is slidably connected to the right inner wall of the box body 201, and the bottom of the transverse movable plate 203 has a transverse passage groove 207 from bottom to top. The longitudinal movable plate 202 and transverse movable plate 203 can move within the box body 201 to loosen the seedling base.

[0036] The reserved area 205 has a seedling outlet 208 on the front side. The horizontal movable plate 203 can be moved to push the watermelon seedlings and seedling base to the seedling outlet 208.

[0037] Specifically, by setting the longitudinal movable plate 202, several cultivation chambers 204 can be pushed to the left, thereby moving the watermelon seedling to the left by one cultivation chamber 204 position. This loosens the seedling base from the transverse movable plate 203 at the front and rear sides. By setting the transverse movable plate 203, several cultivation chambers 204 can be pushed forward, thereby moving the watermelon seedling forward by one cultivation chamber 204 position. This loosens the seedling base from the longitudinal movable plate 202 at the left and right sides, making it convenient for the user to remove the watermelon seedling from the seedling base. By setting the seedling outlet 208, the watermelon seedling moved to the corresponding position can be removed from the box 201. Compared with the existing technology of lifting the seedling stem and rotating a single seedling, this watermelon seedling cultivation rack has the effect of preventing seedling damage and speed.

[0038] The inner wall of the frame 1 is slidably connected to a sliding plate 3 for receiving watermelon seedlings and seedling base. A connecting block 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding plate 3. A threaded hole is opened on the upper surface of the right connecting block 4, and a threaded rod 5 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole. A fixing block 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the frame 1. A base plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1. The top end of the threaded rod 5 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the right fixing block 6, and the bottom end of the threaded rod 5 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the right base plate 7. A motor 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the right fixing block 6. The output end of the motor 8 passes through the right fixing block 6 and is fixedly connected to the top end of the threaded rod 5. A sliding rod 9 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the left base plate 7. A sliding hole is opened on the upper surface of the left connecting block 4, and the inner wall of the sliding hole is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding rod 9.

[0039] Specifically, the output end of the motor 8 drives the threaded screw 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting block 4 and the sliding plate 3 to move downward with the cooperation of the slide rod 9, thereby moving the watermelon seedlings on the sliding plate 3 out of the box 201 for easy access by the user.

[0040] The same connector 10 is connected between two adjacent horizontal movable plates 203. The side of the connector 10 is slidably connected to the opposite surface of two adjacent vertical movable plates 202. The connector 10 is used to make several horizontal movable plates 203 or several vertical movable plates 202 move synchronously.

[0041] The connector 10 includes two filter plates 1001. A rotating seat 1002 is provided at the end of the two filter plates 1001 that are close to each other. The rotating seat 1002 is inverted U-shaped. The filter plates 1001 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating seat 1002. A hinge 1003 is provided at the connection between the filter plates 1001 and the transverse movable plate 203. The filter plates 1001 and the transverse movable plate 203 are hinged. A slider 1004 is rotatably connected to the side of the filter plates 1001. Slide grooves are provided on the opposite surfaces of two adjacent longitudinal movable plates 202, and the slider 1004 is slidably connected to the slide grooves.

[0042] Specifically, by setting the connector 10, when moving the rightmost longitudinal movable plate 202, other longitudinal movable plates 202 can be moved synchronously, and when moving the frontmost transverse movable plate, other transverse movable plates can be moved synchronously, thus improving the overall efficiency. By setting the connector 10 as two rotatable filter plates 1001, several transverse movable plates 203 can be folded, reducing the space occupied by the device when pushing the seedling base towards the seedling outlet 208.

[0043] A first drain outlet 11 is formed between the transverse movable plate 203 and the inner bottom wall of the box 201. A second drain outlet 12 is provided on the side of the longitudinal movable plate 202. The second drain outlet 12 is located at the front of the reserved area 205. A rubber block 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate 3. The rubber block 13 can seal the seedling outlet 208. The height of the rubber block 13 is equal to the thickness of the seedling outlet 208. A drainage groove 14 is provided on the inner bottom wall at the front of the reserved area 205. A drain pipe 15 connected to the drainage groove 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the box 201. The sliding rod 9 is hollow with both ends closed. The drain pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 9 and extends into the interior of the sliding rod 9. A connecting pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding rod 9.

[0044] The lower surfaces of two adjacent transverse movable plates 203 are provided with the same cleaning element 17, which is used to clean the filter plate 1001 to prevent clogging.

[0045] Specifically, by setting up a filter plate 1001, excess water can be discharged to the bottom of the box 201 during watering. By setting up a first drain outlet 11 and a second drain outlet 12, water can flow into the drain trough 14, and then be discharged or recycled through the drain pipe 15, slide bar 9 and drain pipe 15.

[0046] The cleaning component 17 includes mounting strips 1701 that are fixedly connected to the lower surfaces of two adjacent transverse movable plates 203 respectively. The two mounting strips 1701 are fixedly connected to the same airbag 1702 made of rubber material. The airbag 1702 has a storage cavity for storing air. The upper surface of the airbag 1702 has a fine hole 1703 for blowing air. An air inlet pipe 1704 is fixedly connected to the side of the airbag 1702. One end of the air inlet pipe 1704 passes through the mounting strips 1701, and an air valve 1705 is installed in the air inlet pipe 1704.

[0047] The surface of the airbag 1702 is provided with several creases 1706 to allow the airbag 1702 to be folded.

[0048] Specifically, by setting up the cleaning component 17, during the folding process of the two adjacent transverse movable plates 203, the two mounting strips 1701 are driven closer together, thereby squeezing the airbag 1702, causing the air in the storage cavity to be discharged from the fine hole 1703 and blown towards the filter plate 1001, clearing the filter plate 1001 and preventing it from being blocked so that it can continue to be used later.

[0049] Working Principle: During the use of this watermelon seedling cultivation rack, when watering the seedlings, the filter plate 1001 can drain excess water to the bottom of the box 201. Under the action of the first drain outlet 11 and the second drain outlet 12, the water flows into the drainage trough 14, and is then discharged or recycled through the drain pipe 15 and the sliding rod 9. When the seedlings grow to the three-leaf stage, the user first moves the rightmost longitudinal movable plate 202. The rightmost longitudinal movable plate 202, through the connector 10, drives the other longitudinal movable plates 202 to move synchronously. The longitudinal movable plates 202 push several cultivation chambers 204 to the left, thus moving the watermelon seedling one cultivation chamber 204 position to the left. This loosens the seedling base from the transverse movable plate 203 at the front and rear sides. Then, the transverse movable plate 203 is moved. The frontmost transverse movable plate, through the connector 10, drives the other transverse movable plates to move synchronously. The transverse movable plates push several cultivation chambers 204 forward, thus moving the watermelon seedling forward. The position of the cultivation chamber 204 loosens the seedling substrate on the left and right sides from the longitudinal movable plate 202. At this time, the seedlings and seedling substrate in the first horizontal row are located at the seedling outlet 208 and fall onto the rubber block 13. Then, the motor 8 is started, and the output end of the motor 8 drives the threaded screw 5 to rotate. With the cooperation of the sliding rod 9, the threaded screw 5 drives the connecting block 4 and the sliding plate 3 to move downward, so that the watermelon seedlings on the rubber block 13 are moved out of the box 201 for easy access by the user. Then, the second horizontal movable plate on the front side is moved. Plate 203 removes the second row of seedlings in the same way. During this process, two adjacent transverse movable plates 203 drive two mounting strips 1701 closer together, thereby squeezing the airbag 1702, causing the air in the storage cavity to be discharged from the fine holes 1703 and blown toward the filter plate 1001, clearing the filter plate 1001 and preventing it from being blocked so that it can be used again later. Compared with the prior art of lifting the seedling stalk and rotating a single seedling, this watermelon seedling cultivation rack has the effect of preventing seedling damage and speed.

[0050] The embodiments disclosed herein are preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of the present invention based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations, but as long as they do not depart from the spirit of the present invention, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
