Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of seedling cultivation technology, specifically relating to a multifunctional seedling bed. Background Technology
[0002] Seedling cultivation refers to the process of nurturing seedlings in nurseries, hotbeds, or greenhouses in preparation for transplanting them into the ground. Seedling beds are equipment used for cultivating crop seedlings, and generally include seedling racks and seedling trays. When in use, seedlings are planted in seedling trays, and the seedling trays are placed on seedling racks. By regularly irrigating and maintaining the seedlings in the seedling trays, the seedling survival rate can be improved. With the development of agricultural technology, seedling beds are widely used.
[0003] During seedling cultivation using seedbeds, it is necessary to regularly replenish the seedlings with water and nutrient solution. To prevent seedling death due to water shortage and to prevent waterlogging, existing seedbed technologies typically employ a method of large-scale watering with a drainage structure on one side of the seedling tray to drain excess water. This ensures that the seedbed substrate is thoroughly watered each time without waterlogging. While this method can guarantee normal seedling growth, it consumes a large amount of water and nutrient solution and causes the seedbed substrate to be lost with the water, thus increasing cultivation costs. Furthermore, the nutrient solution mixed in with the water can lead to the discharge of chemical agents, causing environmental pollution. In addition, existing technologies typically use a single-plane seedling propagation method, resulting in low unit yield and requiring a large production space. Although some technologies have adopted multi-layer composite seedbeds for seedling cultivation, they are usually simply stacked seedbeds. While this saves space, water drained from the upper seedbeds falls into the lower seedbeds, causing some pollution to the lower seedbeds.
[0004] Therefore, a multifunctional seedling bed is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional seedling bed to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A multifunctional seedling bed, comprising:
[0008] A seedling rack, comprising a bed frame and support rods, wherein the support rods are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the bed frame;
[0009] A seedling tray, which is placed on the upper surface of the bed frame, is used for planting seedlings;
[0010] A sedimentation tank, located on one side of the seedling rack, is used to collect drainage from the seedling trays;
[0011] A water storage tank is located on the other side of the seedling rack, which supplies water to the seedling trays by receiving external water and drainage from the sedimentation tank.
[0012] The mounting plate is installed on the seedling rack, and a nozzle and a supplemental light are installed on its lower surface. The nozzle receives water from the water storage tank and sprays it into the seedling tray.
[0013] Preferably, all of the seedling racks are stacked on top of each other, and the number of stacked layers does not exceed four.
[0014] Preferably, the support rod includes a sleeve and a slide rod. One side of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the bed frame, and the slide rod is slidably sleeved inside the sleeve. An adjusting bolt is threaded through one side of the sleeve, and a limiting groove that cooperates with the adjusting bolt is provided at equal intervals on one side of the slide rod.
[0015] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the two sleeves on the same side, and a plug-in plate is fixedly installed at the top of the two slide rods on the same side. The upper surface of the plug-in plate is provided with a plug-in groove that mates with the connecting plate.
[0016] Preferably, both the slide rod and the plug plate have through holes one, and both ends of the mounting plate have through holes two. The two opposite through holes one are fixed together by fixing bolts, and the through holes one and through holes two are fixed together by fixing bolts.
[0017] Preferably, the inside of the seedling tray is divided into a planting section and a water return section by a permeable mesh, and the planting section is provided with a coarse sand layer, a fine sand layer and a light substrate layer from bottom to top.
[0018] Preferably, a return water valve connected to the return water section is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the seedling tray. One end of the return water valve is connected to a drain pipe, and the other end of the drain pipe is connected to the inlet of the sedimentation tank.
[0019] Preferably, a water pump is installed inside the water storage tank, and the output end of the water pump is connected to all the nozzles through a water supply pipe. The outlets of the water storage tank and the sedimentation tank are connected by a culvert, and a water supply pipe is fixedly installed on one side wall of the water storage tank.
[0020] Preferably, the seedling rack also includes a heat preservation cover, which is detachably installed on the lower surface of the plug-in plate, and its bottom contacts the upper surface of the bed frame.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0022] (1) This invention sets up a seedling rack, seedling tray, sedimentation tank and water storage tank. When cultivating seedlings, water is poured into the seedling tray through the water storage tank. Excess water flows into the sedimentation tank after watering the seedlings and flows back into the water storage tank from the sedimentation tank to achieve water circulation. This achieves the effect of preventing waterlogging and preventing seedling death due to lack of water, ensuring the full utilization of chemical agents. At the same time, it can also avoid the environmental pollution caused by the discharge of chemical agents. In addition, since water is not discharged, the seedbed substrate can be fully recycled after use, solving the problem that the seedbed substrate cannot be reused.
[0023] (2) The present invention sets up a seedling rack including a bed frame and a support rod. Since the support rod can be extended and adjusted, it is easy to control the spacing of the stacked seedling racks, so that the seedlings can receive sufficient light and have enough growth space. At the same time, with the setting of sedimentation tank, return water valve and drainage pipe, the drainage of the upper seedling tray will not be discharged into the lower seedling tray, thus avoiding contamination of the seedbed substrate in the lower seedling tray.

[0032] 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.
[0033] Example 1:
[0034] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, a multifunctional seedling bed includes:
[0035] The seedling rack 1 includes a bed frame 11 and support rods 12, with the support rods 12 symmetrically fixed on both sides of the bed frame 11.
[0036] Seedling tray 2 is placed on the upper surface of bed frame 11 and is used for planting seedlings;
[0037] Sedimentation tank 3 is located on one side of seedling rack 1 and is used to collect drainage from seedling tray 2;
[0038] Water storage tank 4 is located on the other side of seedling rack 1. It receives external water and drainage from sedimentation tank 3 to supply water to seedling tray 2.
[0039] Mounting plate 5 is installed on seedling rack 1, and its lower surface is equipped with nozzle 6 and supplemental light 7. The nozzle 6 receives water from water storage tank 4 and sprays it into seedling tray 2.
[0040] As can be seen from the above, by setting up the seedling frame 1, seedling tray 2, sedimentation tank 3, and water storage tank 4, when cultivating seedlings, water is poured into the seedling tray 2 through the water storage tank 4. Excess water flows into the sedimentation tank 3 and then flows back from the sedimentation tank 3 to the water storage tank 4, thus achieving water circulation. This prevents both waterlogging and seedling death due to lack of water, ensures the full utilization of chemical agents, and avoids environmental pollution caused by the discharge of chemical agents. In addition, since water is not discharged, the used seedbed substrate can be fully recycled. During the seedling process, the seedlings will continuously absorb water. By setting up the water storage tank 4 to receive external water, water and nutrients can be replenished to the seedlings as needed. Nutrient solutions should also be added to the water storage tank 4 when used. The sedimentation tank 3 can settle impurities in the water discharged from the seedling tray 2. In addition, the bed frame 11 mentioned here can be a metal frame inlaid with glass or transparent plastic panels, thereby further improving the lighting capacity. The supplementary lighting 7 is used to extend the light exposure time.
[0041] Specifically, all the seedling racks 1 are stacked on top of each other, and the number of stacked layers does not exceed four.
[0042] As can be seen from the above, stacking the seedling racks 1 together allows for more efficient use of space.
[0043] Specifically, by Figure 4 and Figure 5 It is known that the support rod 12 includes a sleeve 121 and a slide rod 122. One side of the sleeve 121 is fixedly connected to the bed frame 11. The slide rod 122 is slidably sleeved inside the sleeve 121. One side of the sleeve 121 is threaded with an adjusting bolt 123. One side of the slide rod 122 is provided with equidistant limiting grooves 124 that cooperate with the adjusting bolt 123.
[0044] As can be seen from the above, by inserting the adjusting bolt 123 into different limiting slots 124, the slide rod 122 can be fixed at different heights.
[0045] Specifically, by Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the bottom of the two sleeves 121 on the same side is fixedly installed with connecting plates 125, and the top of the two slide rods 122 on the same side is fixedly installed with plug-in plates 126. The upper surface of the plug-in plate 126 is provided with a plug-in groove that cooperates with the connecting plate 125.
[0046] As can be seen from the above, by setting the connecting plate 125 and the plug-in plate 126, it is convenient to stack the seedling rack 1.
[0047] Specifically, by Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that through holes 127 are provided on both slide rod 122 and plug plate 126, and through holes 51 are provided on both ends of mounting plate 5. The two through holes 127 are fixed together by fixing bolts 128, and through holes 127 and through holes 51 are fixed together by fixing bolts 128.
[0048] As can be seen from the above, by setting through hole 127 and fixing bolt 128, the stacked seedling racks 1 can be fixed together, preventing the upper seedling racks 1 from tipping over and falling. By opening through hole 2 51 on the mounting plate 5, the mounting plate 5 can be fixed to the lower surface of the plug plate 126. At the same time, it is also convenient to install different numbers of mounting plates 5 according to the length and number of seedling trays 2 placed on the bed frame 11, so that when the nozzle 6 sprays water, it can fully spray the seedlings planted in the seedling trays 2.
[0049] Example 2:
[0050] refer to Figure 6 As shown, the inside of the seedling tray 2 is divided into a planting section 22 and a water return section 23 by a permeable mesh 21. The planting section 22 is lined with a coarse sand layer 24, a fine sand layer 25 and a light substrate layer 26 from bottom to top.
[0051] As can be seen from the above, the coarse sand layer 24 is used to fix the seedlings and permeate the water and fertilizer materials, while the fine sand layer 25 and the light substrate layer 26 are used to fix the seedlings and provide nutrients for the seedling cuttings. By setting up the permeable mesh 21, the water that seeps into the coarse sand layer 24 can flow to the other side of the permeable mesh 21 and thus flow out of the seedling tray 2. Furthermore, by setting up the permeable mesh 21, the probability of the materials in the coarse sand layer 24, the fine sand layer 25, and the light substrate layer 26 being carried away by the water flow can be reduced.
[0052] Specifically, by Figure 1 and Figure 6 It can be seen that a return water valve 9, which is connected to the return water section 23, is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the seedling tray 2. One end of the return water valve 9 is connected to a drain pipe 8, and the other end of the drain pipe 8 is connected to the inlet of the sedimentation tank 3.
[0053] As can be seen from the above, by setting the return water valve 9, the water in the seedling tray 2 can be prevented from flowing out, so that the seedbed substrate is soaked in water. By setting the drain pipe 8, the water flowing out of the seedling tray 2 can be transported to the sedimentation tank 3, preventing the water from flowing into the lower seedling tray 2.
[0054] Specifically, by Figure 1 It can be seen that a water pump 41 is installed inside the water storage tank 4. The output end of the water pump 41 is connected to all the nozzles 6 through the water supply pipe 42. The water outlets of the water storage tank 4 and the sedimentation tank 3 are connected through the culvert 43. A water supply pipe 44 is fixedly installed on one side wall of the water storage tank 4.
[0055] As can be seen from the above, the water pump 41 can transport the water in the reservoir 4 to the nozzle 6. Due to the setting of the culvert 43, the water in the sedimentation tank 3 can be transported to the reservoir 4. At the same time, through the setting of the culvert 43, the water can fully contact the air during the process of flowing from the sedimentation tank 3 to the reservoir 4, thereby increasing the oxygen content of the water. Through the setting of the water supply pipe 44, water can be replenished to the reservoir 4, so that the circulating water system formed by the seedling tray 2, the sedimentation tank 3 and the reservoir 4 under the action of the water pump 41 and gravity can maintain operation.
[0056] Specifically, by Figure 3 It is known that the seedling rack 1 also includes a heat preservation cover 13, which is detachably installed on the lower surface of the plug-in plate 126, and its bottom is in contact with the upper surface of the bed frame 11.
[0057] As can be seen from the above, by setting up the heat insulation cover 13, the inside of the seedling tray 2 can be kept warm and moist. When using the heat insulation cover 13, its edge should be inserted between the bottom of the seedling tray 2 and the upper surface of the bed frame 11 to ensure that the moisture inside the heat insulation cover 13 will not evaporate outward.
[0058] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
