Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of planting and cultivation equipment technology, specifically a seedling box for citrus planting. Background Technology

[0002] Citrus seedling trays are devices specifically designed for cultivating citrus seedlings. They typically consist of a cultivation box and a water tank, employing container seedling technology. Nutrient soil or substrate is placed in the container to provide a suitable growth environment for the seedlings. Automated watering and fertilization systems simplify management. However, existing citrus seedling trays still have drawbacks in practical use: When initially watering citrus seedlings, additional nutrients are needed to improve the early growth environment. However, due to differences in solubility, these nutrients can easily precipitate within the water pipes, resulting in a mixture of nutrient and water (referring to the mixed liquid). The accumulation of large amounts of sediment can affect the spraying effect of subsequent nozzles, thus reducing nutrient supply. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problem mentioned in the background art that the nutrients used to improve the early growth environment of seedlings are prone to precipitation due to differences in solubility, resulting in a mixture of nutrient and water inside the water pipe, and the accumulation of a large amount of precipitate will affect the normal spraying effect of subsequent nozzles, thereby reducing nutrient supplementation, this invention provides a seedling box for citrus cultivation.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a seedling tray for citrus cultivation, comprising a seedling tray, connecting water pipes distributed at the top of the inner cavity of the seedling tray, and a misting nozzle installed at the bottom of the connecting pipe for spraying citrus seedlings, further comprising:

[0005] The connecting pipe is located below the connecting water pipe and communicates with the inner cavity of the connecting water pipe;

[0006] A scraping assembly, which is installed inside the connector;

[0007] The power assembly is fixed to both sides of the connector for bending the lower end of the connector.

[0008] The connecting pipe includes a pipe body, which is fixedly connected to and communicates with the connecting water pipe below. A stretching membrane is installed at the lower ends of both sides of the inner cavity of the pipe body. The lower part of the pipe body is connected to the atomizing nozzle through a rubber connecting pipe. A baffle is installed inside the pipe body, and a C-shaped abutment block connected to the pipe body through an elastic reset member is abutted on one side of the baffle.

[0009] The scraping assembly includes a scraper that engages with the top of the baffle, and the scraper is fixed to the stretch membrane by a pull rope;

[0010] The power assembly includes a retainer that bends the lower end of the rubber connecting tube and a servo motor. A second spur gear is fixedly connected to one end of the retainer away from the rubber connecting tube. One side of the second spur gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. A crank-connecting rod structure meshes with the outer wall of the second spur gear.

[0011] Preferably, the baffle includes two symmetrical sets of plates, each hinged to the inside of the tube via a rotating shaft. A first spur gear is fixed to both ends of the rotating shaft, and a bidirectional toothed plate is meshed between the two first spur gears. The bidirectional toothed plate is slidably connected to the tube via a positioning plate, and a spring plate for resetting the baffle is installed on the rotating shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the tube body has transverse grooves on both sides for the scraper to slide, and the stretching membrane is installed in an "L" shape on both sides of the lower end of the tube body cavity;

[0013] The upper and lower ends of the stretch membrane are fixed to the inside of the tube, and the middle area of ​​the stretch membrane is movably attached to the inner wall of the tube. When the scraper drives the pull rope to gradually move towards the center area of ​​the tube in the inner cavity of the tube, the pull rope will pull the center area of ​​the stretch membrane outward. At this time, the seedling liquid located in the middle of the stretch membrane will move towards the middle area of ​​the tube, thereby improving the mixing effect of the scraper and the seedling liquid.

[0014] Preferably, the two ends of the C-shaped abutment block are in contact with the bottom end of the bidirectional toothed plate. The contact end of the C-shaped abutment block and the bidirectional toothed plate is provided with an angle. The side of the C-shaped abutment block away from the tube body is in contact with the atomizing nozzle. As the atomizing nozzle continuously rotates, the end of the C-shaped abutment block gradually moves towards the side of the rubber connecting tube. The angled end of the C-shaped abutment block will abut against the bidirectional toothed plate, thereby causing the bidirectional toothed plate to move upward and causing the bidirectional toothed plate to drive the first spur gear meshing with it to move.

[0015] Preferably, two sets of the elastic reset members are provided and symmetrically installed on both sides of the C-shaped abutment;

[0016] The elastic reset component consists of a connecting rod fixed to the tube body and a spring for elastically connecting the connecting rod and the C-shaped stop block. The end of the connecting rod away from the tube body passes through the C-shaped stop block and is movably connected to the C-shaped stop block.

[0017] Preferably, the scraper is provided in two sets, arranged in a grid pattern in the inner cavity of the tube. The connection end of the scraper and the crank connecting rod structure is L-shaped and blocks the transverse groove on the tube. The scraper is elastically connected to the tube through a first spring.

[0018] Preferably, the servo motor is fixedly connected to the positioning plate, the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the second spur gear, the outer wall of the second spur gear meshes with the crank connecting rod structure, and the top of the crank connecting rod structure is fixedly connected to the scraper.

[0019] Preferably, the outer diameter of the second spur gear is different from that of the gear in the crank-connecting rod structure that it directly meshes with, and the upper region of the crank-connecting rod structure is located in the middle region between the bidirectional gear plate and the tube.

[0020] Preferably, the crank-connecting rod structure consists of a first gear meshing with the second spur gear, a rotating meshing rod slidably connected to the outer wall of the gear, and a toothed plate meshing with the top of the rotating meshing rod;

[0021] The first gear is connected to the bearing on the outer wall of the tube, the rotating meshing rod is rotatably connected to the tube, and the toothed plate is fixedly connected to the scraper.

[0022] Preferably, the baffle is U-shaped, with both ends of the baffle fixedly connected to the second spur gear, the lower end of the baffle fitting against the outer wall of the lower end of the rubber connecting tube, and the side of the baffle near the rubber connecting tube fixedly connected to the lower end of the rubber connecting tube.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0024] This invention, through the coordinated design of the pipe body and power components, agitates the mixed liquid inside the pipe body before spraying the citrus seedlings inside the seedling box using the atomizing nozzle. This prevents large-scale sedimentation of the mixed liquid inside the pipe body. Through the coordination of the crank-connecting rod structure and the scraper, the output end of the servo motor, via the crank-connecting rod structure, causes the scraper to mix and disturb the liquid just before the atomizing nozzle sprays, performing a preliminary pretreatment to improve the spraying effect and prevent sediment from clogging the atomizing nozzle and affecting the spraying performance.

[0025] This invention, through the combination of a stretching membrane and a pull rope, allows the scraper to reciprocate inside the tube via a crank-connecting rod structure. This pull rope stretches the membrane, causing it to vibrate in an almost "shaking" manner at the inner edge of the tube. Combined with the scraper's movement, this causes the precipitates at the lower edge of the tube's inner cavity to converge towards the center of the tube, thereby improving the treatment effect on precipitates in mixed liquids.

[0026] This invention, through the coordinated arrangement of atomizing nozzles and power components, allows the rubber connecting tube and atomizing nozzle to bend when not in use, preventing leakage of mixed liquids. Simultaneously, a scraping component moves the inside of the tube before operation, eliminating the need to stop the device and spend considerable time on processing; this can be achieved during operation, significantly improving overall work efficiency.

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the present invention provides a seedling box for citrus cultivation, including a seedling box 1, a connecting water pipe 2 distributed at the top of the inner cavity of the seedling box 1, and an atomizing nozzle 4 installed at the bottom of the connecting pipe 3 for spraying citrus seedlings, and further including:

[0040] Connector 3 is located below the connecting water pipe 2 and communicates with the inner cavity of the connecting water pipe 2;

[0041] Scraping assembly 5, which is installed inside the connecting pipe 3;

[0042] The power assembly 6 is fixed to both sides of the connecting pipe 3 for bending the lower end of the connecting pipe 3.

[0043] The connecting pipe 3 includes a pipe body 31, which is fixedly connected to the lower part of the connecting water pipe 2 and communicates with the connecting water pipe 2. A stretching membrane 34 is installed at the lower ends of both sides of the inner cavity of the pipe body 31. The lower part of the pipe body 31 is connected to the atomizing nozzle 4 through a rubber connecting pipe 33. A baffle 32 is installed inside the pipe body 31. A C-shaped abutment 35 connected to the pipe body 31 through an elastic reset member 36 is abutted on one side of the baffle 32.

[0044] The scraping assembly 5 includes a scraper 51 that engages with the top of the baffle 32, and the scraper 51 is fixed to the stretch membrane 34 by a pull rope 52;

[0045] The power assembly 6 includes a retainer 64 that bends the lower end of the rubber connecting tube 33 and a servo motor 61. A second spur gear 62 is fixedly connected to one end of the retainer 64 away from the rubber connecting tube 33. One side of the second spur gear 62 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 61. A crank connecting rod structure 63 meshes with the outer wall of the second spur gear 62.

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the baffle 32 includes two sets of plates 321 that are symmetrically connected to the inside of the tube 31 via a rotating shaft 322. Both ends of the rotating shaft 322 are fixedly connected to a first spur gear 324. A bidirectional gear plate 325 is meshed between the two first spur gears 324. The bidirectional gear plate 325 is slidably connected to the tube 31 via a positioning plate 37. A spring plate 323 is installed on the rotating shaft 322 to reset the baffle 32.

[0047] Using the above scheme: when the bidirectional toothed plate 325 moves up and down, the two sides of the bidirectional toothed plate 325 will simultaneously mesh with the first straight gear 324, causing the two first straight gears 324 to drive the spring plate 323 to rotate, thereby causing the two plates 321 to be in an open or closed state, while the spring plate 323 will cause the plates 321 to be reset.

[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, transverse grooves for sliding scraper 51 are provided on both sides of the tube body 31, and the stretching membrane 34 is installed in an "L" shape on both sides of the lower end of the inner cavity of the tube body 31.

[0049] The upper and lower ends of the stretch membrane 34 are fixedly connected to the inside of the tube 31, and the middle region of the stretch membrane 34 is movably attached to the inner wall of the tube 31.

[0050] Using the above scheme: When the scraper 51 drives the pull rope 52 to gradually move towards the center area of ​​the tube 31 in the inner cavity of the tube 31, the pull rope 52 will pull the center area of ​​the stretch membrane 34 outward. At this time, the seedling liquid located in the middle of the stretch membrane 34 will move towards the middle area of ​​the tube 31, thereby improving the mixing effect between the scraper 51 and the seedling liquid.

[0051] like Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the two ends of the C-shaped abutment 35 are in contact with the bottom end of the bidirectional toothed plate 325. The contact end of the C-shaped abutment 35 and the bidirectional toothed plate 325 is provided with an angle. The side of the C-shaped abutment 35 away from the tube body 31 is in contact with the atomizing nozzle 4.

[0052] Using the above scheme: As the atomizing nozzle 4 continuously rotates, one end of the C-shaped abutment 35 gradually moves towards the side of the rubber connecting tube 33. The angled end of the C-shaped abutment 35 will abut against the bidirectional toothed plate 325, causing the bidirectional toothed plate 325 to move upward and thus drive the first spur gear 324 meshing with it to move.

[0053] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, two sets of elastic reset members 36 are provided and are symmetrically installed on both sides of the C-shaped abutment block 35;

[0054] The elastic reset component 36 consists of a connecting rod fixed to the tube body 31 and a spring for elastically connecting the connecting rod and the C-shaped stop 35. The end of the connecting rod away from the tube body 31 passes through the C-shaped stop 35 and is movably connected to the C-shaped stop 35.

[0055] The above solution was adopted: through Figure 8 It can be seen that when the C-shaped stop 35 is not in contact with the atomizing nozzle 4, the spring on the connecting rod of the elastic reset member 36 will cause the C-shaped stop 35 to achieve the purpose of reset.

[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, there are two sets of scraper blades 51, which are arranged in a grid pattern in the inner cavity of the tube body 31. The connection end of the scraper blade 51 and the crank connecting rod structure 63 is L-shaped and blocks the transverse groove on the tube body 31. The scraper blade 51 is elastically connected to the tube body 31 through the first spring 53.

[0057] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, the servo motor 61 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 37, the output end of the servo motor 61 is fixedly connected to the second spur gear 62, the outer wall of the second spur gear 62 meshes with the crank connecting rod structure 63, and the top of the crank connecting rod structure 63 is fixedly connected to the scraper 51.

[0058] like Figure 10 As shown, the outer diameter of the second spur gear 62 is different from that of the crank-connecting rod structure 63 that meshes directly with it. The upper part of the crank-connecting rod structure 63 is located in the middle region between the double-sided gear plate 325 and the tube 31.

[0059] The crank-connecting rod structure 63 consists of a first gear meshing with the second spur gear 62, a rotating meshing rod slidingly connected to the outer wall of the gear, and a toothed plate meshing with the top of the rotating meshing rod;

[0060] The first gear is connected to the bearing on the outer wall of the tube 31, the rotating meshing rod is rotatably connected to the tube 31, and the toothed plate is fixedly connected to the scraper 51.

[0061] The above scheme is adopted: According to Figure 10 It can be concluded that when the output end of the servo motor 61 drives the second spur gear 62 to rotate, after the second spur gear 62 rotates one revolution, the crank connecting rod structure 63 gear that directly meshes with the second spur gear 62 will rotate five to six revolutions, thereby enabling the scraper 51 that meshes with the crank connecting rod structure 63 to reciprocate multiple times inside the tube body 31.

[0062] like Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the stop 64 is U-shaped. Both ends of the stop 64 are fixedly connected to the second spur gear 62. The lower end of the stop 64 is attached to the outer wall of the lower end of the rubber connecting tube 33. The side of the stop 64 near the rubber connecting tube 33 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rubber connecting tube 33.

[0063] Working principle and usage process of this invention:

[0064] First, when the atomizing nozzle 4 is not in use, the baffle 64 will abut against the lower end of the rubber connecting tube 33, causing the lower end of the rubber connecting tube 33 to bend. The gap between the atomizing nozzle 4 and the rubber connecting tube 33 will be greater than... Figure 3 The interval value is even smaller, at which point the inside of the rubber connecting pipe 33 is sealed;

[0065] Subsequently, when it is necessary to supplement the citrus seedlings planted inside the seedling box 1 with nutrients, the servo motor 61 operates, causing its output end to drive the baffle 64 to rotate. This gradually releases the resistance between the bottom end of the baffle 64 and the lower end of the rubber connecting pipe 33 and the atomizing nozzle 4. At the same time, as the output end of the servo motor 61 rotates, the second spur gear 62 drives the scraper 51 to move back and forth inside the tube body 31 through the crank connecting rod structure 63. While the scraper 51 is moving, it pulls the stretching membrane 34 through the pull rope 52, causing it to vibrate inside the tube body 31. This causes the mixed liquid located on the side of the tube body 31 to gather towards the center of the tube body 31. Through the swinging of the two scrapers 51 inside the tube body 31, the sediment of the mixed liquid is greatly prevented from accumulating on a large area inside the tube body 31, thus affecting the spraying effect of the subsequent atomizing nozzle 4.

[0066] Finally, as the baffle 64 gradually releases its contact with the bottom of the rubber connecting tube 33, causing the rubber connecting tube 33 to gradually become vertical, the servo motor 61 stops running and the atomizing nozzle 4 releases its contact with the C-shaped block 35. The C-shaped block 35 moves away from the tube body 31 via the elastic reset member 36. At the same time, the bottom end of the bidirectional toothed plate 325 moves down after releasing its contact with the C-shaped block 35, causing the two plates 321 to rotate around the corresponding pivot 322. This allows the mixed liquid inside the tube body 31 to enter the atomizing nozzle 4 through the rubber connecting tube 33 and be sprayed outwards by the atomizing nozzle 4.
