Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a water control triggering device, in particular to a precise water control triggering device for rubber seedling cultivation, and belongs to the technical field of rubber seedling cultivation. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a core seedling variety of tropical economic crops, the growth state of rubber seedlings in the seedling stage directly determines the subsequent transplanting survival rate and tree rubber production performance, and precise water control and uniform light reception are two key factors to ensure the healthy growth of rubber seedlings. At present, in the scenario of large-scale rubber seedling cultivation, gravity-triggered quantitative watering equipment is widely used due to its simple structure, no need for power support, and adaptation to the needs of outdoor and remote area seedling cultivation. The core working principle of this type of equipment is: based on the weight change of the seedling pot (containing substrate and seedlings), the water consumption is perceived, when the weight decreases to a preset threshold, the watering mechanism is triggered to open through mechanical transmission, and the equipment is automatically closed after the water is replenished to the set weight, realizing quantitative irrigation.

[0003] However, the existing gravity-triggered water control equipment has significant technical defects in actual application: On the one hand, rubber seedlings in the seedling stage are in a rapid growth stage, and the continuous accumulation of dry matter leads to the continuous increase of plant weight, which makes the basic weight of the seedling pot continue to rise, and the proportion of weight change caused by water evaporation gradually decreases. This phenomenon directly causes the passive upward movement of the trigger threshold, which not only delays the irrigation trigger time, but also causes the rubber seedlings to be in a state of water shortage for a long time, affecting root development and stem thickness, and in severe cases, as the weight of the seedlings continues to increase, the water change is not enough to drive the mechanical trigger mechanism, eventually leading to the complete failure of the equipment and the inability to achieve on-demand irrigation; On the other hand, the existing equipment's seedling platform is mostly fixed structure, and rubber seedlings have typical phototropic growth characteristics. If the light direction is fixed during seedling cultivation, the seedlings will grow obliquely on the side with sufficient light, which can easily cause problems such as crown deformation, stem elongation and weakness, etc., leading to decreased stress resistance of the seedlings, reduced survival rate after transplanting, and difficulty in cultivating high-quality and strong seedlings that meet the requirements of large-scale planting.

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0020] Example 1: As Figures 1-9 As shown, this embodiment provides a precision water control initiation device for rubber seedling cultivation, including a base 1; The base 1 has an outer shell 2 at one end of its top. Inside the outer shell 2, there are two vertically fixed hanging rods 3 on both sides of the top. A support plate 4 is vertically slidably arranged between the bottoms of the two sets of hanging rods 3. A rectangular sleeve 5 is vertically slidably mounted on the top of the outer shell 2. A support spring 6 is provided between the top of the support plate 4 and the inside of the rectangular sleeve 5. A tray 7 is horizontally fixed at the top of the rectangular sleeve 5. The top of the tray 7 is equipped with a rotating mechanism 8, which is used to drive the rubber seedling pot to rotate during the water replenishment process of the device, so as to achieve uniform light exposure of the seedlings in all directions. The inner bottom of the outer shell 2 is provided with a compensation mechanism 9, which is used to adjust the compression of the support spring 6 during the water replenishment process to make up for the difference in basic weight caused by the growth and weight gain of the rubber seedlings. A support rod 10 is vertically fixed at the middle of the top of the base 1, and the side of the support rod 10 is provided with a positioning and releasing mechanism 11 matched with the tray 7, which is used to limit and lock the tray 7 when the rubber seedling pot does not lose water to a set threshold, and release the tray 7 when the rubber seedling pot loses weight to a set threshold. The top of the support rod 10 is provided with a water tank 12, and the bottom of the side close to the tray 7 of the water tank 12 is provided with a drainage mechanism 15 linked with the tray 7, which is used to trigger and link the water tank 12 to quantitatively drain water to the rubber seedling pot when the tray 7 rises.

[0021] The total working principle is as follows: in the initial state, the seedling pot containing rubber seedlings and substrate is placed on the rotating mechanism 8 at the top of the tray 7, and the weight of the seedling pot is transmitted to the rectangular sleeve 5 through the tray 7, so that the rectangular sleeve 5 presses the supporting spring 6 downward, and the supporting spring 6 is in a compressed state in the limiting groove 401 of the supporting disc 4. At this time, the stop block 1102 of the positioning and releasing mechanism 11 extends out of the mounting groove 1101 of the support rod 10 under the elastic force of the reset spring I 103, and the hemispherical end thereof is attached to the bottom of the tray 7 to form a limiting support for the tray 7, so that the tray 7 remains in a stable state; the water baffle 1503 of the drainage mechanism 15 is in a low position under the action of the reset spring II 504, and the through hole 1505 is distributed in a staggered manner with the drainage port 1501 of the water tank 12, so that the water in the water tank 12 cannot flow out; the water tank 12 is supplemented with water through the titration tube 13 at the top, and the float ball water valve 14 automatically controls the start and stop of water supplement according to the water level in the water tank 12 to maintain the stability of the water level in the water tank 12.

[0022] When the water in the seedling pot gradually evaporates, the total weight of the seedling pot gradually decreases, and the elastic force of the supporting spring 6 gradually becomes greater than the total weight. When the weight decreases to a set threshold, the supporting spring 6 begins to stretch, pushing the rectangular sleeve 5 and the tray 7 to slide upward along the outer shell 2. During the upward movement of the tray 7, the bottom thereof presses the hemispherical end of the stop block 1102, forcing the stop block 1102 to compress the reset spring I 103 and retract into the mounting groove 1101, and the positioning and releasing mechanism 11 releases the limiting lock of the tray 7.

[0023] The tray 7 continues to rise, and the top thereof contacts the bottom end of the connecting rod 1506 of the drainage mechanism 15 and pushes the connecting rod 1506 to move upward, the connecting rod 1506 drives the water baffle 1503 to vertically slide along the guide groove 1502, and the reset spring II 504 is compressed. When the through hole 1505 on the water baffle 1503 is aligned with the drainage port 1501 of the water tank 12, the water in the water tank 12 flows to the seedling pot through the drainage port 1501 and the through hole 1505 in a quantitative manner, achieving precise water supplement.

[0024] During the water replenishing process, the tray 7 drives the first rotating disc 801 of the rotating mechanism 8 to move upward synchronously. Since the guide rod 803 is fixed to the support rod 10 and the end is embedded in the first corrugated sliding groove 802 of the first rotating disc 801, the first rotating disc 801 rotates when it rises, and in turn drives the top seedling pots to rotate synchronously, so that the rubber seedlings are evenly exposed to light in all directions, offsetting the phototropic growth characteristics.

[0025] At the same time, the tray 7 drives the vertical rods 904 on both sides to move upward synchronously, and the sliding block 903 at the bottom of the vertical rod 904 slides along the second corrugated sliding groove 902 on the side of the second rotating disc 901 of the compensation mechanism 9, driving the second rotating disc 901 to rotate around its own axis. The outer screw pipe 906 screwed in the middle of the second rotating disc 901 rotates synchronously with the second rotating disc 901, and the outer screw pipe 906 is connected with the support disc 4 through the rectangular rod 907, and the positioning bolt 908 locks the relative position of the rectangular rod 907 and the outer screw pipe 906, so that when the outer screw pipe 906 rotates, it drives the rectangular rod 907 and the support disc 4 to slide upward along the vertical section of the suspender 3. The upward movement of the support disc 4 increases the compression amount of the support spring 6, compensates for the difference in base weight caused by the growth and weight gain of the rubber seedlings, and ensures that the weight change caused by subsequent water evaporation can still stably trigger the mechanism to act.

[0026] When the seedling pots are replenished with water to the set weight, their total weight is again greater than the elastic force of the support spring 6, and the tray 7 begins to slide downward. The connecting rod 1506 loses the support of the tray 7, the water baffle 1503 is reset under the action of the reset spring two 1504, the through hole 1505 is misaligned with the drain hole 1501, and the water replenishing stops. When the tray 7 continues to move downward to the position of the stop block 1102, the stop block 1102 is again extended under the action of the reset spring one 1103 to support the tray 7 again, and the positioning release mechanism 11 restores the limiting lock. At the same time, the downward movement of the tray 7 drives the vertical rod 904 and the sliding block 903 to fall back, further driving the second rotating disc 901 to fine-tune rotation, so that the height of the support disc 4 remains adaptive, completing a "water loss-triggering-water replenishing-compensation-resetting" cycle, and continuously providing precise water control and uniform light exposure conditions for the rubber seedlings.

[0027] In the following, the scheme in the first embodiment is further introduced in combination with a specific working mode, and details are described below: In this embodiment, the suspender 3 is in an inverted T-shaped structure, and the bottom end of the horizontal section of the suspender 3 is in close contact with the bottom of the support disc 4. A guide hole adapted to the vertical section of the suspender 3 is provided through the support disc 4, and the vertical section of the suspender 3 is slidably arranged in the guide hole.

[0028] Local working principle: the boom 3 is inverted T-shaped structure, the horizontal section bottom end and the bottom of the support disc 4 are attached, the lower limit of the support disc 4 is formed, and the support disc 4 is avoided to move downwards excessively; the guide hole is opened on the support disc 4, and the vertical section of the boom 3 is adapted, the vertical section of the boom 3 is slidably arranged in the guide hole, the up and down sliding of the support disc 4 is accurately guided, the horizontal state of the support disc 4 is ensured, and the inclination of the support disc 4 is avoided to cause the uneven stress of the support spring 6.

[0029] In the embodiment, the circular limiting groove 401 is arranged at the middle position of the top of the support disc 4, the inner diameter of the limiting groove 401 is adapted to the outer diameter of the bottom end of the support spring 6, and the bottom end of the support spring 6 is embedded in the inside of the limiting groove 401.

[0030] Local working principle: the limiting groove 401 plays a fixing and limiting role on the bottom end of the support spring 6, prevents the support spring 6 from being deviated and inclined in the compression or expansion process, and ensures that the elastic force of the support spring 6 is always transmitted to the rectangular sleeve 5 and the tray 7 in the vertical direction.

[0031] In the embodiment, the annular anti-disengagement plate 501 is integrally formed at the bottom of the outer side wall of the rectangular sleeve 5, the outer diameter of the anti-disengagement plate 501 is greater than the inner diameter of the top opening of the outer shell 2, the inside of the rectangular sleeve 5 is a cylindrical groove, the top end of the support spring 6 extends into the cylindrical groove and abuts against the inner top of the rectangular sleeve 5.

[0032] Local working principle: when the rectangular sleeve 5 slides upwards with the tray 7, the anti-disengagement plate 501 will abut against the top edge of the outer shell 2, mechanical limiting is formed, the rectangular sleeve 5 is avoided to disengage from the top opening of the outer shell 2, the integrity and the operation stability of the device structure are ensured; the cylindrical groove in the inside of the rectangular sleeve 5 provides the accommodation space for the top end of the support spring 6, the top end of the support spring 6 is tightly abutted against the inner top of the rectangular sleeve 5, and the lossless elastic force transmission is ensured.

[0034] Local working principle: in the initial state, the reset spring 1103 is in a natural state of extension, pushing the stop block 1102 to extend out of the installation groove 1101, and the hemispherical end of the stop block 1102 is attached to the bottom of the tray 7, relying on the elastic force of the reset spring 1103 to support the tray 7, achieving limiting locking; when the tray 7 has an upward trend due to the weight loss of the seedling pot, the hemispherical end of the stop block 1102 on the bottom of the tray 7 generates a lateral pressure, which is decomposed into an axial force along the installation groove 1101, pushing the stop block 1102 to compress the reset spring 1103 and retract into the installation groove 1101, releasing the limiting of the tray 7; when the tray 7 is reset, the stop block 1102 extends out again under the action of the reset spring 1103, relocking the tray 7.

[0038] Local working principle: in the initial state, the water baffle 1503 is in the low position under the elastic force of the reset spring two 1504, the through hole 1505 is misaligned with the drain port 1501, the drain port 1501 is shielded, and the water in the water tank 12 cannot flow out; when the tray 7 rises, the top of the tray 7 pushes the connecting rod 1506 to move upward, the connecting rod 1506 drives the water baffle 1503 to slide upward along the guide groove 1502, and the reset spring two 1504 is compressed; when the water baffle 1503 rises to the position where the through hole 1505 is aligned with the drain port 1501, the water in the water tank 12 flows out through the drain port 1501 and the through hole 1505, and the water is supplied to the nursery pot; when the tray 7 moves downward, the connecting rod 1506 loses support, the water baffle 1503 is reset under the action of the reset spring two 1504, the through hole 1505 is misaligned with the drain port 1501 again, the water supply stops, and the water supply action is linked with the position of the tray 7.

[0039] In the embodiment, the rotating mechanism 8 includes a first rotating disc 801, a first corrugated sliding groove 802, a guide rod 803 and an anti-skid groove 804. The first rotating disc 801 is rotatably installed on the top of the tray 7 through a bearing. The first corrugated sliding groove 802 is formed on the outer side wall of the first rotating disc 801 in the circumferential direction. The guide rod 803 is fixed to one side of the support rod 10 close to the tray 7 in the horizontal direction, and the end of the guide rod 803 away from the support rod 10 is slidingly embedded in the first corrugated sliding groove 802. The anti-skid groove 804 is formed on the top surface of the first rotating disc 801.

[0040] Local working principle: when the tray 7 drives the first rotating disc 801 to move upward, the position of the guide rod 803 is fixed, the end of the guide rod 803 slides relative to the inclined surface of the first corrugated sliding groove 802, thereby generating a circumferential driving force on the first rotating disc 801, so that the first rotating disc 801 rotates around the bearing. The nursery pot is placed in the anti-skid groove 804 on the top surface of the first rotating disc 801. The anti-skid groove 804 increases the friction between the nursery pot and the first rotating disc 801, so as to avoid the sliding of the nursery pot during rotation, thereby driving the nursery pot to rotate synchronously, and achieving uniform light receiving of seedlings in all directions.

[0041] In the embodiment, the compensation mechanism 9 includes a second rotating disc 901, a second corrugated sliding groove 902, a sliding block 903, a vertical rod 904, an outer screw pipe 906 and a distance adjusting assembly. The second rotating disc 901 is rotatably installed on the inner bottom of the outer shell 2 through a bearing. The second corrugated sliding groove 902 is formed on the side surface of the second rotating disc 901 in the circumferential direction. The sliding blocks 903 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second rotating disc 901, and the bottom of the sliding block 903 is slidingly embedded in the second corrugated sliding groove 902. The vertical rods 904 are vertically fixed on both sides of the bottom of the tray 7. The bottom ends of the two groups of vertical rods 904 are vertically downwardly slidingly penetrating through the top of the outer shell 2 and are fixedly connected with the sliding blocks 903 on the corresponding sides, respectively. The outer screw pipe 906 is threadedly installed at the middle position of the second rotating disc 901, and a spacing adjustment assembly is arranged between the outer screw pipe 906 and the support disc 4, which is used to adjust the height of the support disc 4, thereby adjusting the initial supporting force of the support spring 6.

[0042] Local working principle: when the tray 7 rises, the vertical rod 904 drives the sliding block 903 to move upward, the sliding block 903 slides relative to the inclined surface of the second corrugated sliding groove 902, and the second rotating disc 901 is driven to rotate; the outer screw pipe 906 is threadedly installed in the middle of the second rotating disc 901, the outer screw pipe 906 cooperates with the rectangular rod 907, and the top end of the rectangular rod 907 is fixedly connected with the bottom of the support disc 4; when the second rotating disc 901 rotates, the outer screw pipe 906 rotates synchronously, and since the rectangular rod 907 is limited by the support disc 4 and the suspender 3 and cannot rotate, the outer screw pipe 906 moves axially upward along the rectangular rod 907 when rotating, pushes the rectangular rod 907 and the support disc 4 to slide upward, and adjusts the compression amount of the support spring 6; conversely, when the tray 7 moves downward, the sliding block 903 drives the second rotating disc 901 to rotate reversely, the outer screw pipe 906 is finely adjusted in position, and dynamic compensation of the compression amount of the support spring 6 is realized.

[0043] In the embodiment, the spacing adjustment assembly comprises an inner groove 905, a rectangular rod 907 and a positioning bolt 908, the inner groove 905 is arranged at the bottom of the second rotating disc 901; The rectangular rod 907 vertically slides through the inner hole of the outer screw pipe 906, and the top end of the rectangular rod 907 is fixedly connected with the bottom of the support disc 4; The positioning bolt 908 is threadedly arranged at the bottom of the outer side wall of the outer screw pipe 906 in the horizontal direction, and the inner end of the positioning bolt 908 penetrates into the inner hole of the outer screw pipe 906 and abuts against the side edge of the rectangular rod 907, which is used to lock the relative position of the rectangular rod 907 and the outer screw pipe 906.

[0044] Local working principle: when the positioning bolt 908 is loosened, the rectangular rod 907 can slide along the inner hole of the outer screw pipe 906, the initial height of the support disc 4 is adjusted, and then the initial compression amount and the initial elastic force of the support spring 6 are adjusted; after the adjustment is completed, the positioning bolt 908 is tightened, the relative position of the positioning bolt 908 and the rectangular rod 907 is locked through the friction force, and the stability of the initial supporting force of the support spring 6 is ensured.

[0045] Embodiment three: the schemes in embodiment one and embodiment two are further introduced in combination with specific working modes, which are described in detail as follows: Initial setting stage: According to the water requirement characteristics of the growth stage of rubber seedlings, the initial compression amount of the supporting spring 6 is adjusted through the spacing adjustment assembly. Loosen the positioning bolt 908, slide the rectangular rod 907 to change the height of the supporting disc 4, and then adjust the initial elastic force of the supporting spring 6, so that after the seedling pot is placed, the tray 7 can be stably supported by the stop block 1102 of the positioning release mechanism 11, at this time the drainage mechanism 15 is in the closed state, the rotating mechanism 8 remains stationary, and the water tank 12 maintains the set water level through the float ball water valve 14 and the titration tube 13.

[0046] Water loss sensing stage: The water in the seedling pot gradually decreases through evaporation and absorption by rubber seedlings, and the total weight of the seedling pot continues to decrease. The compression amount of the supporting spring 6 gradually releases as the weight decreases, and the elastic force gradually emerges. When the weight decreases to a set threshold (i.e. the water consumption reaches the standard for water replenishment), the elastic force of the supporting spring 6 exceeds the total weight of the seedling pot and the tray 7, and starts to push the rectangular sleeve 5 and the tray 7 upwards.

[0047] Trigger release stage: During the upward movement of the tray 7, the bottom of the tray 7 is pressed against the hemispherical end of the stop block 1102, and the stop block 1102 compresses the reset spring 1103 under lateral pressure, retracting from the mounting groove 1101 and releasing the limit on the tray 7. After the tray 7 is freed, it continues to rise under the action of the elastic force of the supporting spring 6, triggering subsequent water replenishment, rotation and compensation actions.

[0048] Quantitative water replenishment stage: After the tray 7 rises to contact the connecting rod 1506, it pushes the connecting rod 1506 and the water baffle 1503 upwards along the guide groove 1502, and the reset spring 1504 is compressed. When the through hole 1505 is aligned with the drainage port 1501, the water in the water tank 12 flows quantitatively to the seedling pot through the drainage port 1501 and the through hole 1505. During the water replenishment process, the water level in the water tank 12 is replenished in real time through the float ball water valve 14 and the titration tube 13, ensuring stable drainage pressure and achieving quantitative water replenishment.

[0049] Uniform light receiving stage: When the tray 7 rises, it simultaneously drives the first turntable 801 to move upwards, the relative sliding of the guide rod 803 and the first corrugated slide groove 802 drives the first turntable 801 to rotate, and then drives the seedling pot to rotate. The rotation angle is determined by the number and shape of the corrugations of the first corrugated slide groove 802, and the seedling pot rotates a preset angle during each water replenishment process, so that the rubber seedlings receive light uniformly in all directions, effectively offsetting phototropism and avoiding crown deformation and stem elongation.

[0050] Weight compensation stage: the tray 7 rises to drive the vertical rod 904 and the slider 903 to move upwards, the cooperation between the slider 903 and the second corrugated chute 902 drives the second turntable 901 to rotate, the outer spiral tube 906 rotates with the second turntable 901 and moves upwards along the rectangular rod 907, which pushes the support disc 4 to slide upwards along the suspender 3, and the compression amount of the support spring 6 is increased. This action accurately compensates for the basic weight difference caused by the weight gain of the rubber seedling, ensuring that the weight change can still reach the trigger threshold when water evaporates next time, and maintaining consistent trigger sensitivity.

[0051] Reset cycle stage: when the seedling pot is replenished with water to the set weight, the total weight exceeds the elastic force of the support spring 6, the tray 7 starts to slide downwards. The connecting rod 1506 loses support, the water baffle 1503 is reset under the action of the reset spring two 1504, and the water replenishment stops; when the tray 7 moves down to the position of the stop block 1102, the stop block 1102 extends to relock the tray 7; at the same time, the tray 7 moves down to drive the vertical rod 904 and the slider 903 to fall back, drive the second turntable 901 to fine-tune, and further optimize the compression amount of the support spring 6. The device returns to the initial state, and waits for the water evaporation to the set threshold next time, and repeats the above cycle to continuously provide precise water control and uniform light protection for the rubber seedling.

[0052] The above is only a further embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and concept of the present application within the scope disclosed by the present application, which belongs to the protection scope of the present application.
