Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of watermelon cultivation technology, specifically a watermelon seed cultivation device. Background Technology
[0002] Watermelon is a short-day plant that prefers a sunny environment. It is relatively tolerant of high temperatures but not cold. It has a wide range of soil adaptability and is suitable for planting in slightly acidic, loose, deep, well-drained alluvial soil and sandy soil with a deep topsoil layer. Watermelon is mainly propagated by three methods: sowing, grafting, and cutting.
[0003] Currently, when propagating watermelons by sowing, watermelon seeds need to be planted and cultivated using cultivation boxes and soil layers. After the watermelon seeds grow into seedlings, the seedlings are removed from the soil layer and then transplanted. However, most existing methods of removing watermelon seedlings involve manual pulling or using shovels. Both manual pulling and shoveling require a lot of manpower, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, manual pulling or shoveling can easily damage the roots and stems of the watermelon seedlings, leading to a low survival rate after transplanting. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a watermelon seed cultivation device.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A watermelon seed cultivation device, wherein the cultivation box contains a cultivation soil layer, and includes a cultivation box, a pushing assembly, a driving assembly, and a vibration assembly. The cultivation box contains a layer of cultivation soil. The jacking assembly is installed inside the cultivation box and buried in the cultivation soil layer. The drive assembly is installed on the side wall of the cultivation box and is used to drive the jacking assembly to move upward, so as to lift the watermelon seedlings together with the surrounding soil. The vibration component is disposed inside the jacking component. When the jacking component moves upward, the vibration component drives the jacking component to vibrate. The jacking component transmits the vibration to the soil layer around the watermelon seedling, causing the surrounding soil layer to separate from the roots and stems of the watermelon seedling.
[0006] As a further improvement of the present invention: the drive assembly includes an air supply pipe, an air main pipe, an air inlet pipe, and air branch pipes. The air supply pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the cultivation box and buried in the cultivation soil layer. The main air supply pipe is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cultivation box. One end of the branch air supply pipe is connected to the main air supply pipe, and the other end passes through the side wall of the cultivation box and is connected to the air supply pipe.

Each set of push plates has a set of push rods fixedly arranged at its bottom. The lower end of each set of push rods extends into the corresponding piston rod and is fixedly connected to the corresponding piston plate.
[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention: a plurality of limiting blocks are installed on the inner wall of the piston rod tube above the piston plate, and the plurality of limiting blocks are distributed vertically at intervals. The vibration assembly includes a support base, a third elastic element, an impact rod, a hinge rod, and a support rod. The support base is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the push rod, the bracket rod is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support base, one end of the hinge rod is rotatably connected to the bracket rod, and the other end extends horizontally towards the inner wall of the piston tube. The impact rod is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the hinge rod. One end of the third elastic element is connected to the support base, and the other end is connected to the hinge rod, which provides elastic tension to the hinge rod, so that the end of the impact rod away from the hinge rod contacts the bottom of the support base.
[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention: a plurality of the limiting blocks are hinged to the inner wall of the piston tube, and the bottom of each group of limiting blocks is connected to the inner wall of the piston tube through a set of first elastic elements, the first elastic elements being used to provide elastic support for the limiting blocks. An exhaust pipe is provided on the intake pipe, and an exhaust valve is provided inside the exhaust pipe. The bottom of the piston plate is connected to the inner bottom wall of the air supply pipe by a second elastic element, which is used to provide elastic tension to the piston plate.
[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention: the first elastic element, the second elastic element and the third elastic element are springs or metal sheets.
[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention: the bottom of the push plate is connected to the piston tube by a flexible protective layer.
[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the flexible protective layer is a rubber layer or a silicone layer.
[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention: a planting position guide component is also provided on the inner wall of the cultivation box. The planting position guide component is used to guide the planting position of the watermelon seeds so that the watermelon seeds can be accurately planted directly above the push plate.
[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention: the planting position guide component includes a connecting rope and an annular guide ring. Several sets of annular guide rings are provided, each corresponding to one of the push plates. Several annular guide rings are connected in series via the connecting rope and set on the inner wall of the incubation box. A hanging ring is also provided on one side of the outermost set of annular guide rings. A hook that cooperates with the hanging ring is also fixedly provided on the inner wall of the incubation box.
[0014] As a further improvement to the present invention: a retractable assembly is installed on the inner wall of the cultivation box. After the watermelon seeds are planted, the retractable assembly is used to retract several of the annular guide rings and the connecting ropes. The annular guide ring is made of flexible material, and the take-up and release assembly includes a take-up and release reel, a support plate, and a handle. The support plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cultivation box. The take-up and take-down reel is rotatably disposed on one side of the support plate. The handle is disposed at the end of the take-up and take-down reel. One end of the connecting rope is connected to the take-up and take-down reel. The hook and the take-up and take-down reel are respectively disposed on two opposite side walls of the inner side of the cultivation box.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In this embodiment of the invention, watermelon seeds are planted in the cultivation soil layer inside the cultivation box. After the watermelon seeds grow into watermelon seedlings, the driving component drives the pushing component to move upward along the inside of the cultivation soil layer, thereby lifting the watermelon seedling and the surrounding soil layer, so that the watermelon seedling is removed from the cultivation soil layer. At the same time, the vibration component drives the pushing component to vibrate, and the pushing component transmits the vibration to the surrounding soil layer of the watermelon seedling, thereby separating the surrounding soil layer from the root and stem part of the watermelon seedling, thus completing the automatic seedling removal operation. Compared with the traditional manual seedling removal, this seedling removal method can greatly avoid damage to the root and stem of the watermelon seedling during the seedling removal process, thereby improving the subsequent survival rate of the watermelon seedling and improving the seedling removal efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0019] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0020] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0021] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integral connection or setting. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 This embodiment provides a watermelon seed cultivation device, including a cultivation box 10, a pushing component 20, a driving component 30, and a vibration component 40. The cultivation box 10 has a cultivation soil layer inside. The pushing component 20 is disposed inside the cultivation box 10 and buried in the cultivation soil layer. The driving component 30 is installed on the side wall of the cultivation box 10 and is used to drive the pushing component 20 to move upward, so as to lift the watermelon seedling and the surrounding soil layer together upward. The vibration component 40 is disposed inside the pushing component 20. When the pushing component 20 moves upward, the vibration component 40 is used to drive the pushing component 20 to vibrate. The pushing component 20 transmits the vibration to the surrounding soil layer of the watermelon seedling, so that the surrounding soil layer separates from the rootstock of the watermelon seedling.
[0023] By planting watermelon seeds in the cultivation soil layer inside the cultivation box 10, after the watermelon seeds grow into watermelon seedlings, the driving component 30 drives the pushing component 20 to move upward along the inside of the cultivation soil layer, thereby lifting the watermelon seedling and the surrounding soil layer, so that the watermelon seedling is removed from the cultivation soil layer. At the same time, the vibration component 40 drives the pushing component 20 to vibrate, and the pushing component 20 transmits the vibration to the surrounding soil layer of the watermelon seedling, thereby separating the surrounding soil layer from the root and stem part of the watermelon seedling, thus completing the automatic seedling removal operation. Compared with the traditional manual seedling removal, this seedling removal method can greatly avoid damage to the root and stem of the watermelon seedling during the seedling removal process, thereby improving the subsequent survival rate of the watermelon seedling and improving the seedling removal efficiency.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 In one embodiment, the drive assembly 30 includes an air supply pipe 301, a main air supply pipe 302, an air inlet pipe 303, and a branch air supply pipe 304. The air supply pipe 301 is fixedly installed at the bottom inner side of the cultivation box 10 and buried in the cultivation soil layer. The main air supply pipe 302 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cultivation box 10. One end of the branch air supply pipe 304 is connected to the main air supply pipe 302, and the other end passes through the side wall of the cultivation box 10 and is connected to the air supply pipe 301. One end of the air inlet pipe 303 is connected to the main air supply pipe 302, and the other end is connected to an external air pump (not shown in the figure). The upper part of the air supply pipe 301 has a plurality of openings 3011 spaced apart along its length. The push assembly 20 includes a push plate 201, a piston tube 202, a push rod 204, and a piston plate 207. Several sets of piston tubes 202 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the ports 3011. Several sets of piston tubes 202 are fixedly installed on the upper part of the gas supply pipe 301 and are connected to the ports 3011. A set of piston plates 207 are movably arranged inside each set of piston tubes 202. A set of push plates 201 are movably arranged above each set of piston tubes 202. A set of push rods 204 are fixedly arranged at the bottom of each set of push plates 201. The lower end of each set of push rods 204 extends into the corresponding piston tube 201 and is fixedly connected to the corresponding piston plate 207.
[0025] When planting watermelon seeds in the cultivation soil, the seeds can be planted above the push plate 201. After the watermelon seeds grow into seedlings, air is pumped into the air intake pipe 303 by an air pump. The air enters the main air supply pipe 302 from the air intake pipe 303, then enters the supply pipe 301 from the branch air supply pipe 304, and finally enters the piston tubes 202 through several openings 3011. This pushes the piston plates 207 inside the piston tubes 202, causing the piston plates 207 to move upward along the piston tubes 202. When the piston plates 207 move upward, they drive the push rod 204 and the push plate 201 to move upward. When the push plate 201 moves upward, it pushes the watermelon seedlings and the surrounding soil layer above it, causing the watermelon seedlings and the surrounding soil layer to move upward together, thus pushing the watermelon seedlings out of the cultivation soil layer and completing the automatic seedling removal operation.
[0026] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, a plurality of limiting blocks 205 are installed on the inner wall of the piston tube 202 above the piston plate 207. The plurality of limiting blocks 205 are vertically spaced. The vibration assembly 40 includes a support base 401, a third elastic element 402, an impact rod 403, a hinge rod 404, and a support rod 405. The support base 401 is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the push rod 204. The support rod 405 is fixedly disposed on the bottom of the support base 401. One end of the hinge rod 404 is rotatably connected to the support rod 405, and the other end extends horizontally toward the inner wall of the piston tube 202. The impact rod 403 is fixedly disposed on the upper part of the hinge rod 404. One end of the third elastic element 402 is connected to the support base 401, and the other end is connected to the hinge rod 404, for providing elastic tension to the hinge rod 404, so that the end of the impact rod 403 away from the hinge rod 404 contacts the bottom of the support base 401.
[0027] When air enters the piston tube 202 and pushes the piston plate 207, push rod 204, and push plate 201 upward as a whole, the push rod 204 drives the support base 401, second elastic element 402, impact rod 403, hinge rod 404, and bracket rod 405 to move upward synchronously. When the hinge rod 404 moves upward, the end away from the bracket rod 405 acts on the bottom of several limiting blocks 205 in sequence. When the end of the hinge rod 404 away from the bracket rod 405 acts on the bottom of a certain set of limiting blocks 205, the limiting block 205 can push the hinge rod 404, causing the hinge rod 404 to rotate downward relative to the bracket rod 405. The third elastic element 402 is stretched, and the impact rod 403 moves away from the support base 401. When the hinge rod 404 rotates downward to a predetermined angle, it moves upward past the current limit block 205. At this time, the third elastic element 402 pulls the hinge rod 404, causing it to rotate upward relative to the support rod 405. This causes the impact rod 403 to approach the support 401 and impact the bottom of the support 401. When the support 401 is impacted, it causes the push rod 204 and the push plate 201 to vibrate. The push plate 201 transmits the vibration force to the soil layer around the watermelon seedling above it, so that the soil layer attached to the roots and stems of the watermelon seedlings is separated from the seedlings as much as possible. This avoids excessive soil layer on the roots and stems of the watermelon seedlings after they are harvested, thereby improving the harvesting effect of the watermelon seedlings.
[0028] Please see Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 In one embodiment, a plurality of limiting blocks 205 are hinged to the inner wall of the piston column tube 202. The bottom of each set of limiting blocks 205 is connected to the inner wall of the piston column tube 202 through a set of first elastic members 206. The first elastic members 206 are used to provide elastic support for the limiting blocks 205. An exhaust pipe (not shown in the figure) is provided on the air intake pipe 303. An exhaust valve (not shown in the figure) is provided in the exhaust pipe. The bottom of the piston plate 207 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the air supply pipe 301 through a second elastic member 208. The second elastic member 208 is used to provide elastic tension to the piston plate 207.
[0029] When air enters the piston tube 202 and pushes the piston plate 207 upward, the second elastic element 208 is stretched. When the end of the hinge rod 404 away from the support rod 405 acts on the bottom of the limiting block 205, the limiting block 205 cannot rotate upward relative to the inner wall of the piston tube 202. The limiting block 205 can provide stable support for the hinge rod 404, allowing the hinge rod 404 to overcome the elastic tension of the third elastic element 402 and rotate downward relative to the support rod 405. After the watermelon seedlings are harvested, the staff can open the exhaust valve in the exhaust pipe. At this time, the second elastic element 208 pulls the piston plate 207, causing the piston plate 207, the push rod 204, and the push plate 201 to move downward as a whole. The piston plate 207 pushes the air inside the piston tube 202 back through the port 3011 to the air supply pipe 301, and then back through the air delivery branch pipe 304 to the... The gas is discharged from the main gas pipe 302 and finally discharged through the exhaust pipe, thereby resetting the piston plate 207, push rod 204, and push plate 201. When the push rod 204 moves down, it drives the support seat 401, the second elastic element 402, the impact rod 403, the hinge rod 404, and the bracket rod 405 to move down synchronously. The end of the hinge rod 404 away from the bracket rod 405 acts on the upper part of several limit blocks 205 in sequence, thereby pushing the limit blocks 205 to rotate downward relative to the inner wall of the piston tube 202. Several first elastic elements 206 are compressed in sequence. At this time, the limit blocks 205 cannot provide strong support for the hinge rod 404. The support seat 401, the second elastic element 402, the impact rod 403, the hinge rod 404, and the bracket rod 405 can follow the push rod 204 to move down and reset smoothly.
[0030] In one embodiment, the first elastic element 206, the second elastic element 208, and the third elastic element 402 can be springs or metal sheets, and there is no limitation here.
[0031] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the bottom of the push plate 201 is connected to the piston rod tube 202 by a flexible protective layer 203. When the push plate 201 moves upward to lift the watermelon seedlings and the soil around them, the flexible protective layer 203 is stretched adaptively by the pull of the push plate 201, thereby preventing the outer soil from entering the area between the push plate 201 and the piston rod tube 202. This prevents the push plate 201 from being restricted by the soil when it moves downward to reset, which would prevent the push plate 201, the push rod 204 and the piston plate 207 from being able to reset smoothly.
[0032] In one embodiment, the flexible protective layer 203 may be a rubber layer or a silicone layer, and there is no limitation on this.
[0033] Because the jacking component 20 is buried in the cultivation soil layer, when planting watermelon seeds, workers cannot accurately plant the seeds above the jacking plate 201. This prevents the jacking plate 201 from successfully lifting the watermelon seedlings during subsequent upward movement, thus affecting the automatic seedling removal effect. Therefore, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference needed]. Figure 2 In one embodiment, a planting position guide component 50 is also provided on the inner wall of the cultivation box 10. The planting position guide component 50 is used to guide the planting position of the watermelon seeds so that the watermelon seeds can be accurately planted directly above the push plate 201.
[0034] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 In one embodiment, the planting position guide component 50 includes a connecting rope 501 and an annular guide ring 502. Several sets of the annular guide rings 502 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the push plate 201. Several sets of the annular guide rings 502 are connected in series via the connecting rope 501 and are set on the inner wall of the cultivation box 10. A hanging ring 506 is also provided on one side of the outermost set of annular guide rings 502. A hook 101 that cooperates with the hanging ring 506 is also fixedly provided on the inner wall of the cultivation box 10.
[0035] When planting watermelon seeds, several annular guide rings 502 can be removed from one of the side walls inside the cultivation box 10. Then, the several annular guide rings 502 are straightened and the hanging rings 506 are hung on the hooks 101. At this time, the connecting rope 501 is kept taut. The several annular guide rings 502 are distributed in a linear structure above the cultivation soil layer, far apart from each other. The several annular guide rings 502 are located one-to-one above the several push plates 201. Then, the staff plants the watermelon seeds in the cultivation soil layer according to the positions marked by the several annular guide rings 502. This ensures that after the watermelon seeds grow into watermelon seedlings, the watermelon seedlings are located directly above the push plates 201. This allows the push plates 201 to move upward and vibrate smoothly, lifting the watermelon seedlings and causing the soil layer attached to the roots and stems of the watermelon seedlings to detach smoothly from the roots and stems.
[0036] Please see Figure 7 In one embodiment, a retraction component is installed on the inner wall of the cultivation box 10. After the watermelon seeds are planted, the retraction component is used to retract several of the annular guide rings 502 and the connecting ropes 501.
[0037] Please see Figure 7In one embodiment, the annular guide ring 502 is made of a flexible material, such as rubber or steel wire. The take-up and release assembly includes a take-up and release reel 503, a support plate 504, and a handle 505. The support plate 504 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cultivation box 10. The take-up and release reel 503 is rotatably disposed on one side of the support plate 504. The handle 505 is disposed at the end of the take-up and release reel 503. One end of the connecting rope 501 is connected to the take-up and release reel 503. The hook 101 and the take-up and release reel 503 are respectively disposed on two opposite side walls inside the cultivation box 10.
[0038] Initially, the connecting rope 501 and several annular guide rings 502 are wound around the outside of the winding reel 503. When planting watermelon seeds, the worker pulls the hanging ring 506, which in turn pulls the several annular guide rings 502 and the connecting rope 502 to unwind them from the winding reel 503. After the connecting rope 501 is straightened, the hanging ring 506 is attached to the hook 101. At this time, the several annular guide rings 501 are arranged in a linear structure above the cultivation soil layer, thus guiding several seeds to the top. The push plate 201 is positioned, and then the staff plants the watermelon seeds into the cultivation soil layer located inside the several annular guide rings 502. After the watermelon seeds are planted, the staff removes the hanging ring 506 from the hook 101, and then turns the handle 505. The handle 505 drives the take-up and release roller 503 to rotate. The take-up and release roller 503 winds up the several annular guide rings 502 and the connecting rope 501, thereby removing the several annular guide rings 502 from above the cultivation soil layer.
[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, watermelon seeds are planted in the cultivation soil layer inside the cultivation box 10. After the watermelon seeds grow into watermelon seedlings, the driving component 30 drives the pushing component 20 to move upward along the inside of the cultivation soil layer, thereby lifting the watermelon seedling and the surrounding soil layer, so that the watermelon seedling is removed from the cultivation soil layer. At the same time, the vibration component 40 drives the pushing component 20 to vibrate, and the pushing component 20 transmits the vibration to the surrounding soil layer of the watermelon seedling, thereby separating the surrounding soil layer from the root and stem part of the watermelon seedling, thus completing the automatic seedling removal operation. Compared with the traditional manual seedling removal, this seedling removal method can greatly avoid damage to the root and stem of the watermelon seedling during the seedling removal process, thereby improving the subsequent survival rate of the watermelon seedling and improving the seedling removal efficiency.
[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics.
