Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural vegetable seedling equipment, specifically a vegetable seedling cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Agricultural vegetable seedling equipment is a type of mechanical equipment used for vegetable seedling cultivation, designed to help workers observe vegetable seedlings more carefully.

[0003] Patent publication number CN207305551U relates to a cabinet, cabinet handle, bolt holes, slots, soil filling device, culture box, nutrient solution collection box, fixing bolt, support frame, nutrient solution nozzle, supplementary light, and casters. This patent provides a vegetable seedling cabinet. The culture box can be freely adjusted up and down through the cabinet's telescopic structure, facilitating changes in the height of the culture box within the cabinet, making it highly adaptable. The culture box is secured to the cabinet through slots, making it easy to retrieve or load seedlings. The nutrient solution collection box at the bottom collects the nutrient solution that permeates through the filter cloth layer for recycling. The soil filling device of this patent not only facilitates soil filling but also ensures that vegetable seeds are in the same seedling environment, allowing for unified adjustment and improving germination rate. The filter cloth layer filters soil particles and recycles the permeated nutrient solution, preventing excessive soil moisture from drowning the seedlings.

[0004] In the aforementioned patent, the filter cloth layer facilitates the use of a single regulating gate to improve seedling emergence. Its function is to filter soil particles, recover the infiltrated nutrient solution, and prevent excessive soil moisture from drowning the seedlings. However, there are still problems. It cannot ensure that each seedling receives light evenly, which may cause plants to block each other, resulting in insufficient light. This is not conducive to the seedlings' photosynthesis, cannot promote their healthy growth, and easily reduces the uniformity and robustness of the seedlings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a vegetable seedling cabinet, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a vegetable seedling cabinet, including a chassis, a drawer slidably installed inside the chassis, a culture bottle being disposed inside the drawer, a door panel being rotatably installed on the front of the chassis, and an adjustment mechanism being provided on the inner wall of the chassis;

[0007] The adjustment mechanism includes a long plate, a push block, a plug block, and a pull rod. The inner wall of the chassis has a placement groove. The long plate is slidably installed inside the placement groove. The push block is fixedly installed on the side of the long plate near the drawer. The pull rod is slidably installed on the top of the drawer. The plug block is fixedly installed on the end of the pull rod near the push block.

[0008] The drawer is equipped with a limiting mechanism to protect the culture bottle and a collection mechanism to collect the culture medium. When the insert block moves, the drawer will be released from its limit in the machine box. When the limit of the drawer is released, it can move up and down to avoid affecting the growth of crops.

[0009] According to the above technical solution, the adjustment mechanism includes a protrusion, a pressure block, and a connecting rod. The pressure block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drawer, the protrusion is fixedly installed on the other end of the pull rod, and the connecting rod is fixedly installed on the top of the pull rod. When the protrusion moves, it will cause the pull rod to slide on the drawer. When the pull rod slides on the drawer, it will cause the insert block to move.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, the push block is in contact with the insert block, a first spring is provided between the long plate and the chassis, the long plate is in contact with the pressure block, and a second spring is provided between the pull rod and the drawer. When the long plate is pressed, it will be pushed out by the elastic force of the first spring. When the pull rod is pulled out and released, it will continue to be pulled inward by the elastic force of the second spring.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, the limiting mechanism includes a block, a square rod, a U-plate, and a baffle. The block is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting rod, the square rod is fixedly installed on the side of the block near the culture bottle, the U-plate is slidably installed on the inner wall of the drawer, and the baffle is rotatably installed on the top of the U-plate. When the limiting of the culture bottle is released, the culture bottle can be selectively removed. When the limiting rod moves, it will contact the semi-cylinder on the flat plate, thereby generating vibration and shaking off the culture liquid and soil at the bottom of the drawer.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting rod, a flat plate, and a semi-cylinder. The limiting rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the square rod, the flat plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the drawer, and the semi-cylinder is fixedly installed on the flat plate. When the limiting rod moves, it will contact the semi-cylinder on the flat plate, thereby generating vibration.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, the baffle is in contact with the culture bottle, the limiting rod is in contact with the U-plate, and the limiting rod is in contact with the semi-cylinder. When the baffle moves, it will release the limiting of the culture bottle, and when the limiting rod moves, it will limit the U-plate.

[0014] According to the above technical solution, the collection mechanism includes a rack column, a gear column, a rack plate, a push plate, an inclined column, a square block, a cover plate, and a water box. The rack column is fixedly installed at the bottom of the U-shaped plate, the water box is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drawer, the gear column is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the drawer, the push plate is slidably installed on the inner wall of the drawer, the rack plate is fixedly installed on the side of the push plate near the rack column, the inclined column is fixedly installed on the side of the push plate near the rack column, one end of the cover plate is rotatably installed at the bottom of the water box, and the square block is fixedly installed on the top of the other end of the cover plate. When the push plate moves, it pushes the soil at the corners of the water box towards the center of the culture medium tank. When the push plate moves, it drives the inclined column to move, and when the inclined column moves, it squeezes the square block.

[0015] According to the above technical solution, the rack column meshes with the gear column, the gear column meshes with the rack plate, and the inclined column contacts the square block. When the rack column moves, it will drive the gear column to rotate, and when the gear column rotates, it will drive the rack plate to move.

[0016] This invention provides a vegetable seedling tray. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) When the push block moves, it will clear the outlet at the push block to avoid affecting the subsequent placement of the drawer. When the insert block moves, it will release the drawer from the chassis limit. When the drawer limit is released, it can move up and down to avoid affecting the growth of crops. It can allow air to circulate more smoothly between seedlings, which helps to replenish carbon dioxide and exchange oxygen, providing a good gas environment for the respiration of seedlings, promoting their metabolism, and making the seedlings grow more vigorously.

[0018] (2) When the limiting rod moves, it will limit the U plate to avoid affecting the culture bottle when the drawer moves. When the U plate moves upward, it will drive the baffle to move. When the baffle moves, it will release the limitation on the culture bottle to avoid affecting other culture bottles. The culture bottle can be picked up and put down separately, and the target culture bottle can be directly located without moving other culture bottles. This greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of the operation and reduces the interference to the seedlings in other culture bottles.

[0019] (3) When the push plate moves, it will push the soil at the edge of the water towards the middle of the culture medium tank, which is conducive to collecting the internal residue and avoiding the accumulation of residual liquid and the generation of odor. When the square block is squeezed, it will drive the cover plate to move and discharge the excess culture medium and soil inside. It can remove some metabolic waste in time, keep the culture medium clean, create a healthy growth environment for seedlings, and reduce the humidity in the culture box, thus reducing the probability of disease and pest occurrence.
