Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of seedling raising device, more particularly to a traditional Chinese medicinal material planting and seedling raising device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The fine requirement of the environment condition for traditional Chinese medicinal material seedling raising is much higher than that of common crops, and the stability of light, moisture and temperature directly determines the survival rate of seedlings and the quality of subsequent medicinal materials. However, there are still many problems in the actual application of the current traditional Chinese medicinal material planting and seedling raising device, which is difficult to meet the efficient seedling raising demand.

[0003] Some use fixed sunshade design, which not only occupies a large space, but also cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the light requirement of different growth stages of traditional Chinese medicinal material seedlings, such as weak light in seedling stage and sufficient light in seedling stage. Another way is to manually lay the sunshade cloth, which is low in operation efficiency, and easy to touch the seedlings during spreading or rolling, causing mechanical damage. At the same time, the light supplement assembly and the sunshade structure often have function conflicts due to unreasonable layout, and cannot realize the quick and non-interference switching of the two, resulting in fluctuation of photosynthesis efficiency and affecting the growth of seedlings.

[0004] At the same time, although the traditional seedling raising tray is provided with a flow guide hole, the substrate commonly used for seedling raising, such as humus and coconut husk, is easy to block the flow guide hole during watering. Once the flow guide hole is blocked, the excess water cannot be discharged, and water accumulation will be formed in the seedling groove, causing root system of seedlings to lack oxygen and rot. When cleaning the blocked hole, the whole seedling raising tray needs to be taken out and dredged one by one, which not only consumes time and effort, but also easily damages the integrity of the substrate and further damages the root system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present application will be further described in detail below. The embodiments of the present application are given for the convenience of illustration and description, and are not exhaustive or limit the present application to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are selected and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present application, and to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present application so as to design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific purposes.

[0028] As Figures 1-6As shown, the present invention provides a seedling cultivation device for Chinese medicinal materials, including a seedling support 1, a seedling tray 2 movably arranged on the seedling support 1, a supplementary lighting component and a shading component arranged above the seedling tray 2, and a drainage component and a heating component located below the seedling tray 2.

[0029] This seedling device is suitable for medicinal herbs that require early seedling cultivation. The seedling tray 2 can move flexibly on the seedling support 1, providing a basic support for seedling cultivation while allowing the tray to be pulled out to check seedling growth. The supplemental lighting component and shading component above the seedling tray 2 work together to regulate light and meet the light source requirements for seedling cultivation. The drainage component below the seedling tray 2 can clear and unclog the water, preventing excessive water accumulation that could cause root corrosion. The heating component at the bottom can maintain the required temperature for seedling cultivation. All components work together to provide suitable conditions for the growth of medicinal herb seedlings.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, two sets of support bars 5 are provided on both sides of the seedling support 1. The support bars 5 are provided with limiting grooves 6 along their length direction. Two sets of limiting bars 7 are provided on both sides of the seedling tray 2 corresponding to the two sets of support bars 5. The limiting bars 7 are located in the limiting grooves 6 and slide in contact with the limiting grooves 6.

[0031] When it is necessary to remove or place the seedling tray 2, such as to check the growth status of the seedlings or clean the residual substrate in the seedling tray 2, the seedling tray 2 is pulled so that the limiting strips 7 on both sides slide along the limiting grooves 6 on the support strip 5. This allows the seedling tray 2 to be pulled smoothly on the seedling support 1. The cooperation between the limiting strips 7 and the limiting grooves 6 can restrict the movement direction of the seedling tray 2, prevent the seedling tray 2 from deviating or tilting when sliding, avoid damage to the seedlings due to collision, and improve the safety and efficiency of operation.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the shading assembly includes a shading net 10 and a driving component for driving the shading net 10 to unfold or retract. When the shading net 10 is fully unfolded, the seedling tray 2 is completely located below the shading net 10. The supplemental lighting component is located below the shading assembly, and the two are not used simultaneously.

[0033] This solution allows for flexible switching between shading and supplemental lighting modes based on the light requirements of seedlings at different growth stages. When the medicinal herb seedlings are in a growth stage requiring low light, such as the early germination stage, the drive unit activates the shading net 10 to unfold, completely covering the seedling tray 2 area to shield the seedlings from strong light. When the ambient light is insufficient, such as on cloudy days or at night, or when the seedlings enter the seedling maturation stage requiring sufficient light, the drive unit retracts the shading net 10, and then activates the supplemental lighting component to provide additional light to the seedlings. The supplemental lighting component and the shading component do not operate simultaneously to avoid functional conflicts.

[0034] The top of the seedling raising support 1 is provided with an extension support 8, one side of the extension support 8 is provided with a fixed shaft 11, one end of the shading net 10 is fixed with the fixed shaft 11, and the other end of the shading net 10 is fixed with the driving part. The fixed shaft 11 provides a fixed fulcrum for the shading net 10, when the driving part drives the other end of the shading net 10 to move, the shading net 10 is unfolded or rolled up with the fixed shaft 11 as the center, and the fixed effect of the fixed shaft 11 ensures that the position of one end of the shading net 10 does not change during movement, avoiding overall deviation.

[0035] The driving part includes a translation driving module 12 and a moving shaft 14 rotationally connected with a sliding block 13 on the translation driving module 12, and the other end of the shading net 10 is fixed on the moving shaft 14. When it is necessary to regulate the shading net 10, the translation driving module 12 drives the sliding block 13 to move in a set direction, the sliding block 13 drives the moving shaft 14 rotationally connected therewith to move synchronously, so that the shading net 10 is uniformly wound on the moving shaft 14 or smoothly spread, avoiding damage of the shading net 10 due to pulling.

[0036] Both ends of the moving shaft 14 are fixedly installed on a walking wheel 15, both sides of the extension support 8 are provided with two walking tracks 16 corresponding to the walking wheel 15, and the translation driving module 12 drives the moving shaft 14 to roll forward or backward. After the translation driving module 12 is started, the walking wheel 15 at both ends of the moving shaft 14 rolls in the walking track 16 of the extension support 8, the walking wheel 15 drives the moving shaft 14 to stably roll forward or backward along the track of the walking track 16, and then the unfolding or rolling up of the shading net 10 is realized, wherein the walking track 16 restricts the movement direction of the walking wheel 15.

[0037] The walking track 16 is provided with a friction plate 17 for increasing the friction between the walking wheel 15, when the walking wheel 15 rolls in the walking track 16, the friction plate 17 is in close contact with the surface of the walking wheel 15, the friction between them is increased, the walking wheel 15 can normally walk, and the situation that the walking wheel 15 slides in the walking track 16 is avoided.

[0038] The light supplement assembly includes a plurality of groups of light supplement lamp plates 9 which are spaced apart on the extension support 8. When the intensity of environmental light is insufficient, the light supplement assembly is started, and the plurality of groups of light supplement lamp plates 9 emit light at the same time, because the light supplement lamp plates 9 are spaced apart, each corner of the seedling raising tray 2 can be covered, uniform light is provided for the seedlings, and the requirement of photosynthesis is met.

[0039] As Figure 1As shown, the seedling tray 2 is provided with a plurality of seedling grooves 3, and each seedling groove 3 is provided with a flow guide hole 4. The dredging assembly is arranged opposite to the flow guide hole 4 and moves along the direction of insertion or extraction of the flow guide hole 4. The seedling groove 3 is used for cultivating single seedling of Chinese herbal medicine to avoid the competition for nutrients among seedlings. After watering, the excess water in the seedling groove 3 is discharged through the flow guide hole 4 to prevent water accumulation. When the flow guide hole 4 is blocked by the substrate, the dredging assembly moves along the direction close to the flow guide hole 4, inserts into the flow guide hole 4 to clean the blockage, and then moves along the direction away from the flow guide hole 4 to restore the drainage function of the flow guide hole 4.

[0040] As shown in the Figures 5-6 The dredging assembly includes a dredging support 18, a plurality of flow guide rods 19 installed on the dredging support 18 and corresponding to the flow guide holes 4, and a flow guide driving member 22 for driving the dredging support 18 to move along the direction close to or away from the flow guide holes 4. Limiting plates 20 are arranged on both sides of the dredging support 18, and the limiting plates 20 are limited by limiting guide rails 21 installed on the seedling support 1.

[0041] When the flow guide hole 4 needs to be dredged, the flow guide driving member 22 drives the dredging support 18 to move along the limiting guide rail 21, and the dredging support 18 drives the flow guide rod 19 thereon to move synchronously close to the flow guide hole 4, so that the flow guide rod 19 is accurately inserted into each flow guide hole 4 to clean the blockage. After cleaning, the flow guide driving member 22 drives the dredging support 18 to move reversely, and the flow guide rod 19 is pulled out of the flow guide hole 4 to return to the initial position.

[0042] The flow guide rod 19 corresponds to the flow guide hole 4, which can realize synchronous dredging of multiple holes and greatly improve the work efficiency. The cooperation of the limiting plate 20 and the limiting guide rail 21 ensures that the dredging support 18 does not deviate, avoiding the damage of the seedling tray 2 or the root system of the seedling caused by the insertion deviation of the flow guide rod 19. The top of the flow guide rod 19 is arc-shaped. When the flow guide rod 19 is inserted into the flow guide hole 4, the arc-shaped top first contacts the blockage and the inner wall of the flow guide hole 4, and gradually extrudes and loosens the blockage through the smooth transition of the arc-shaped surface. At the same time, the arc-shaped structure avoids scratching the inner wall of the flow guide hole 4 or hurting the root system of the seedling in the seedling groove 3.

[0043] As shown in the Figure 6 The heating assembly is arranged in several groups and uniformly distributed below the seedling tray 2. The heating assembly includes a sealed heat conduction cover 23 installed on the dredging support 18 and a heating module 24 located in the sealed heat conduction cover 23.

[0044] When the ambient temperature is lower than the temperature required for the growth of the Chinese herbal medicine seedlings, such as early spring and late autumn, the heating module 24 generates heat, and the sealed heat conduction cover 23 collects and uniformly conducts the heat to the bottom of the seedling tray 2, avoiding heat loss. The synchronous work of the evenly distributed heating components ensures the uniform temperature of each area of the seedling tray 2. The heating components are installed on the dredging support 18 and can move with the dredging support 18 to adjust the position without affecting the normal work of the dredging components, and have high integration degree. The heating module 24 can use silica gel heating sheet and the like.

[0045] The Chinese herbal medicine planting and seedling raising device of the present scheme provides a good growth environment for seedlings through the cooperation and integration of multiple components. On the one hand, the automatic retractable shading net 10 and the light supplementing component adapt to the light requirements of seedlings at different growth stages, avoiding manual operation damage and function conflict. On the other hand, the flow guide plug 19 precisely dredges the flow guide hole 4 without disassembling the seedling tray 2, preventing water accumulation and root rot. At the same time, the evenly distributed heating components with sealed heat conduction cover 23 ensure a constant temperature environment and save energy. The whole device realizes fine control of light, moisture and temperature, and improves the survival rate and efficiency of seedling raising.

[0046] Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art and related fields without creative labor shall belong to the scope of protection of the present application. The structures, devices and operation methods not specifically described and explained in the present application, such as without special description and limitation, are implemented according to the conventional means in the art.
