Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seedling equipment technology, specifically to a timed water-replenishing non-woven fabric container seedling box and a method for cultivating trident maple container seedlings using the seedling box. Background Technology

[0002] Lightweight substrate nonwoven container is a cylindrical seedling container with a mesh surface. This container is conducive to the seedlings developing more horizontal roots, so that the seedlings can achieve a balanced root system after cultivation.

[0003] Trident maple is a deciduous tree belonging to the maple genus. It has an upright trunk, a compact shape, and its leaves turn red in autumn, so it is often used as an ornamental plant. Trident maple is a water-loving plant and has high requirements for its growing environment. Therefore, water management is a key factor affecting the cultivation of trident maple.

[0004] The current lightweight substrate non-woven fabric containers have a simple watering method during the seedling cultivation process, but the watering effect is poor. This can easily cause water shortage in the seedlings of Trident Maple during container seedling cultivation, which is not conducive to the growth of Trident Maple seedlings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a timed water-replenishing non-woven fabric container seedling box and a method for cultivating container seedlings of Acer triangularis using the seedling box. Specifically, the box comprises an upper box and a lower box, with the upper box capable of replenishing water within the lower box. This seedling box has the advantages of sustainable use, simple operation, and easy water replenishment of the non-woven fabric container; using this non-woven fabric container seedling box can improve seedling quality and survival rate, and save time and labor costs.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A timed water-replenishing non-woven fabric container seedling box includes an upper box and a lower box. The size of the upper box is smaller than that of the lower box, and the upper box can be fitted inside the lower box.

[0008] The upper box has a mesh structure, which facilitates air, water, and root permeability for the seedlings;

[0009] The upper box is equipped with partitions, and a placement area is formed between adjacent partitions. The non-woven fabric container is placed in the placement area. The partitions can prevent the roots of the triangular maple seedlings from growing crosswise.

[0010] The lower box has an open structure at the top and serves as a liquid storage tank for holding liquids.

[0011] A bottom plate is provided below the lower housing, and cylinders are provided on both sides of the bottom plate. The cylinders are located outside the lower housing and close to the lower housing.

[0012] The cylinder's telescopic rod is connected to the outside of the upper housing; activating the cylinder can move the upper housing upwards or downwards.

[0013] The cylinder is connected to a solenoid valve, which is connected to a timer controller. The timer controller is composed of multiple timer switches. The timer controller controls the opening and closing of the cylinder, thereby controlling the soaking time of the nonwoven fabric container in the lower chamber and the interval between two adjacent soakings.

[0014] When it is necessary to replenish water to the seedlings in the upper box, the cylinder is activated. The extension rod of the cylinder moves the upper box downwards. As the upper box gradually immerses itself in the lower box, the watering of the trident maple seedlings is completed.

[0015] Preferably, an L-shaped connecting plate is fixed between the upper housing and the cylinder telescopic rod; one end of the connecting plate is connected to the top of the cylinder telescopic rod, and the other end is connected to the outer side of the upper housing.

[0016] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on the inner bottom of the upper box, and the bottom surface of the partition is located in the limiting groove; a hook is provided on the side of the partition, and the hook is locked on the side of the upper box; the setting of the limiting groove and the hook makes the partition more stable when it moves up and down with the upper box, avoiding the partition from tilting during the process of sinking into the lower box, thus improving the stability of the seedling box during use; in addition, the carrying hook can quickly remove the partition, which is convenient for taking out the non-woven container.

[0017] Preferably, a groove is provided on the top surface of the partition, and the groove is set along the length direction of the top surface of the partition; a slider is installed in the groove and moves along the groove; a groove A is provided on the top surface of the slider, and the groove A is set along the length direction of the slider, and an intercepting net is fixed in the groove A; when the non-woven fabric container is placed in the upper box and the upper partition is installed, the top surface of the non-woven fabric container can be blocked by the intercepting net to avoid the substrate from floating when soaking in the lower box; the intercepting net is a foldable soft net, such as nylon net.

[0018] Preferably, a movable block is engaged with the top surface of the slider, and the movable block is connected to the side of the intercepting net away from the slider; the movable block can be installed in the groove A; after the non-woven containers are arranged, the partitions are installed, and the movable block is pulled to unfold the intercepting net; when the length of the intercepting net can only cover the non-woven containers between adjacent partitions, the movable block is installed in the groove A of the adjacent partition; when the length of the intercepting net can cover the non-woven containers between multiple partitions, the intercepting net is installed in the groove A of the corresponding partition; the movable block is an elastic block, and in use, the movable block is forcefully inserted into the groove A.

[0019] Preferably, the top surface of the slider is further provided with a groove B, which is located on both sides of the groove A; the bottom surface of the moving block is provided with a connecting ball, which is locked in the groove B when the slider is connected to the moving block.

[0020] Preferably, multiple arc-shaped plates are screwed to both sides of the partition. After the partition is installed, the arc-shaped plates of two adjacent partitions are arranged opposite each other, which is beneficial for easily limiting the position of the non-woven fabric. Since the matrix contains lightweight components such as fallen leaves, when the upper box moves downward into the lower box, the liquid flows upward from the bottom of the non-woven fabric container. The water pressure will drive the matrix upward, which may cause the matrix to float out of the non-woven fabric container. By setting the arc-shaped plates, a gap is formed between the partition and the non-woven fabric container. The liquid will flow upward quickly through the gap. On the one hand, it can enter the non-woven fabric container along the side. On the other hand, when the upper box is submerged in the liquid of the lower box, the water in the gap enters the top of the non-woven fabric container and seeps downward from the top, minimizing the floating of lightweight components.

[0021] Preferably, the nonwoven container is produced by an LKY strip nonwoven seedling container forming machine.

[0022] A method for cultivating container seedlings of Acer tridentatum using the above-mentioned seedling tray is as follows:

[0023] Step 1: Prepare the matrix and fill it into a nonwoven fabric container;

[0024] Step 2: Place the non-woven fabric container into the upper box and place the partition to prevent the roots of the trident maple seedlings from growing crosswise; then move the slider to the required position, move the moving block to open the interception net, and fix the moving block to the required partition.

[0025] Step 3: Place the seedling boxes with the non-woven fabric containers in a sunny place. The seedling boxes can be placed in a row. Fill the lower box with water to a certain level.

[0026] Step 4: Using the timer controller, immerse the non-woven fabric container in the water in the lower chamber, allowing it to be fully soaked before lifting it up.

[0027] Step 5: After letting the soaked non-woven fabric container sit for a period of time, the trident maple tissue culture seedlings can be transplanted into the non-woven fabric container. Cover the upper surface of the non-woven fabric container with a layer of vermiculite to prevent moisture evaporation.

[0028] Step 6: Set a timer controller, plan the water replenishment time, and regularly replenish the water storage tank at the bottom of the seedling box;

[0029] Step 7: After the trident maple seedlings have grown for a period of time, a certain amount of liquid fertilizer can be added to the water storage tank at the bottom of the seedling box to promote the rapid growth of the trident maple seedlings.

[0030] Preferably, the matrix comprises the following components in weight percentage:

[0031] The composition is: 5% maple leaf litter, 60% peat moss, 20% perlite, and 15% vermiculite.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0033] The non-woven fabric container seedling box provided by this invention has the advantages of sustainable use, simple operation, and easy water replenishment of the non-woven fabric container. Using this non-woven fabric container seedling box can improve seedling quality and survival rate, and has the advantages of saving time and labor costs, being environmentally friendly and sustainable, improving transplant survival rate, promoting seedling growth, reducing costs, high flexibility, easy management, and high promotional value.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] Combination Figures 1-3The present invention provides a timed water replenishment type non-woven fabric container seedling box, including an upper box 1 and a lower box 2. The size of the upper box 1 is smaller than the size of the lower box 2, and the upper box 1 can be fitted inside the lower box 2.

[0042] The upper box 1 has a mesh structure, which facilitates air, water, and root permeability for the seedlings;

[0043] The upper box 1 is provided with partitions 3, which are placed in parallel; a placement area is formed between adjacent partitions 3, and the non-woven container 18 is placed in the placement area; the partitions 3 can prevent the roots of the triangular maple seedlings from growing crosswise; the partitions 3 can be made of PVC board or thin wood board, and the partitions 3 in this embodiment are made of PVC board.

[0044] In this embodiment, the upper housing 1 and the partition 3 are specifically configured as follows:

[0045] A limiting groove 4 is provided on the inner bottom of the upper box 1, and the bottom surface of the partition 3 is located in the limiting groove 4; a hook 5 is provided on the side of the partition 3, and the hook 5 is locked on the side of the upper box 1; the setting of the limiting groove 4 and the hook 5 makes the partition 3 more stable when it moves up and down with the upper box 1, and avoids the partition 3 from tilting during the process of sinking into the lower box 2, thereby improving the stability of the seedling box during use; in addition, the lifting hook 5 can quickly remove the partition 3, which is convenient for taking out the non-woven container 18;

[0046] A groove 6 is provided on the top surface of the partition 3. In this embodiment, the groove 6 is a dovetail groove, and the groove 6 is arranged along the length direction of the top surface of the partition 3. A slider 7 is installed in the groove 6, and the slider 7 moves along the groove 6. A groove A8 is provided on the top surface of the slider 7, and the groove A8 is arranged along the length direction of the slider 7. An intercepting net 9 is fixed in the groove A8. When the non-woven fabric container 18 is placed in the upper box 1 and the upper partition 3 is installed, the top surface of the non-woven fabric container 18 can be blocked by the intercepting net 9 to prevent the substrate from floating when soaking in the lower box 2. The intercepting net 9 is a foldable soft net, such as nylon net.

[0047] The accompanying drawings provided in this embodiment are schematic diagrams. In reality, when the interception net 9 is unfolded, its thickness (height) is very small, which facilitates the entry of liquid from the interception net 9 into the non-woven fabric container 18.

[0048] A movable block 10 is snapped onto the top surface of the slider 7, and the movable block 10 is connected to the side of the intercepting net 9 away from the slider 7; the movable block 10 can be installed in the groove A8; after the non-woven fabric container 18 is arranged, the partition 3 is installed, and the movable block 10 is pulled to unfold the intercepting net 9; when the length of the intercepting net 9 can only cover the non-woven fabric container 18 between adjacent partitions 3, the movable block 10 is installed in the groove A8 of the adjacent partition 3; when the length of the intercepting net 9 can cover the non-woven fabric container 18 between multiple partitions 3, the intercepting net 9 is installed in the groove A8 of the corresponding partition 3; the movable block 10 is an elastic block, and when in use, the movable block 10 is forcefully inserted into the groove A8;

[0049] The top surface of the slider 7 is also provided with a groove B11, which is located on both sides of the groove A8; the bottom surface of the moving block 10 is provided with a connecting ball 12, which is locked in the groove B11 when the slider 7 is connected to the moving block 10.

[0050] Multiple arc-shaped plates 13 are screwed onto each of the two sides of the partition 3. After the partition 3 is installed, the arc-shaped plates 13 of two adjacent partitions 3 are arranged opposite each other, which facilitates easy positioning of the non-woven fabric. Since no non-woven fabric container is placed between the inner side of the upper box 1 and the partition 3, in this embodiment, arc-shaped plates 13 do not need to be screwed onto the side of the partition 3 near the inner side of the upper box 1. Since the matrix contains lightweight components such as fallen leaves, when the upper box 1 moves downward into the lower box 2, the liquid flows from the non-woven fabric... The bottom of container 18 flows upward, and the water pressure will drive the substrate upward, which may cause the substrate to float out of the non-woven container 18. By setting the arc plate 13, a gap is formed between the partition 3 and the non-woven container 18. The liquid will flow upward quickly through the gap. On the one hand, it can enter the non-woven container 18 along the side. On the other hand, when the upper box 1 is submerged in the liquid in the lower box 2, the water in the gap enters the top of the non-woven container 18 and seeps downward from the top, minimizing the floating of light components.

[0051] The lower box 2 has an open structure at the top and serves as a liquid storage tank for holding liquids;

[0052] A base plate 14 is provided below the lower box 2, and cylinders 15 are provided on both sides of the base plate 14. The cylinders 15 are located outside the lower box 2 and close to the lower box 2. In order to make the seedling box easy to move, wheels or other means can be provided at the bottom of the base plate 14.

[0053] The telescopic rod of cylinder 15 is connected to the outside of the upper housing 1; starting cylinder 15 can move the upper housing 1 up or down.

[0054] In this embodiment, an L-shaped connecting plate 16 is fixed between the upper housing 1 and the telescopic rod of the cylinder 15; one end of the connecting plate 16 is connected to the top end of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 15, and the other end is connected to the outer side of the upper housing 1.

[0055] The cylinder 15 is connected to the solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve is connected to the timer controller 17. The timer controller 17 is composed of multiple timer switches. The timer controller 17 controls the opening and closing of the cylinder 15, thereby controlling the soaking time of the non-woven fabric container 18 in the lower box 2 and the interval between two adjacent soakings.

[0056] When it is necessary to replenish water to the seedlings in the upper box 1, the cylinder 15 is activated. The extension rod of the cylinder 15 drives the upper box 1 to move downward. As the upper box 1 gradually immerses into the lower box 2, the water replenishment of the trident maple seedlings is completed.
