Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant cultivation equipment technology, specifically to an artificial propagation and cultivation device for horseshoe ferns and its cultivation method. Background Technology

[0002] Horseshoe fern, a fern with high ornamental and medicinal value, mainly relies on spores produced on the underside of its leaves for propagation. Traditional artificial propagation methods require manually collecting spores from mature mother plants, a tedious process in which spores are easily scattered and damaged. Next, the collected spores are manually sown on the surface of the seedling substrate. Finally, a very thin layer of fine-grained potting soil is needed to cover the spores to maintain humidity and promote germination. The entire process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also highly dependent on the experience of the operators, making it difficult to guarantee the spore germination rate and seedling uniformity.

[0003] Currently, in the field of large-scale and standardized production of ferns, especially horseshoe ferns, there is a lack of specialized equipment that can integrate automatic spore collection and effective distribution, as well as sowing and covering with soil. While existing greenhouses or seedling facilities can provide basic light and humidity environments, they cannot solve the core mechanization and automation problems in the above-mentioned propagation process, which seriously restricts the mass production and high-quality production of horseshoe fern seedlings. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an artificial propagation and cultivation device for horseshoe ferns, comprising a frame and internally fixed partitions.

[0005] The top and bottom of the partition plate form two independent chambers between itself and the interior of the frame: chamber one at the bottom and chamber two at the top.

[0006] The chamber is equipped with a propagation component for cultivating horseshoe ferns and their spores.

[0007] Glass panels are installed on the sides of the frame and on all four sides of chamber two.

[0008] The second chamber is connected to a horizontally movable collection component for collecting and distributing spores from the fern leaves.

[0009] A conveying assembly is installed between the bottom of the collecting component and the partition plate to transport the collected and distributed spores to the breeding component.

[0010] The top of chamber two is equipped with a water supply system for providing water to the horseshoe ferns and spores, as well as a light source for providing light.

[0011] Preferably, a connecting groove is provided at the core position on the partition plate, and multiple lower interfaces are distributed between the core and the edge.

[0012] Preferably, the breeding component includes two drawer boxes that are movably fitted into the first chamber, with multiple breeding slots distributed on the top of the drawer boxes, the multiple breeding slots being aligned with multiple lower interfaces, and breeding basins placed in the breeding slots.

[0013] The breeding component also includes a planting pot placed in the chamber and between two drawer boxes, with the planting pot aligned with the connecting slot.

[0014] Preferably, the collecting assembly includes a collecting plate movably connected within the second chamber, a positioning mechanism is installed on the collecting plate, the positioning mechanism includes a connecting groove opened at the core position of the collecting plate, the connecting groove is aligned with the communicating groove, and a bearing ring is installed inside, with multiple bolts threadedly connected inside the bearing ring.

[0015] The collection assembly also includes multiple upper interfaces distributed on the collection plate, away from the shaft and the edge, with the upper interfaces opposite to the lower interfaces.

[0016] Preferably, the conveying assembly includes multiple conveying hoses, with both ends of the multiple conveying hoses fixed to corresponding upper and lower interfaces, respectively.

[0017] The delivery assembly also includes a connector box fixed to the side of the delivery hose, with a storage tube fixed to the top of one end of the connector box.

[0018] Preferably, a triggering mechanism is installed inside the connection box. The triggering mechanism includes a synchronization plate movably connected inside the connection box. Two guide blocks are fixed relative to each other on the top of the synchronization plate. The two guide blocks are respectively sleeved inside the delivery hose and the storage tube. At the same time, an output slot is opened in the middle of the synchronization plate.

[0019] Limit blocks are fixed on opposite back sides of the two guide blocks, and limit grooves are opened on opposite walls of the delivery hose and storage tube, with the limit blocks slidably connected in the limit grooves.

[0020] Preferably, the triggering mechanism further includes a linkage plate fixed to the bottom of the synchronization plate, a support rod movably connected to the linkage plate, and a tension spring movably sleeved on the side of the support rod, with both ends of the tension spring fitting between the bottom of the connecting box and the bottom of the linkage plate.

[0021] Preferably, a drive assembly for driving the collection assembly to move up and down is installed in the second chamber. The drive assembly includes a drive motor fixed on the partition plate, and a screw rod fixed on the output end of the drive motor. The screw rod is threadedly connected to the collection plate.

[0022] Preferably, the water supply assembly includes two sets of spray mechanisms. Each set of spray mechanisms includes two connectors fixed to the top of the second chamber. A spray pipe is rotatably connected between the two connectors. A drive gear ring and a transmission gear ring are fixed at both ends of the spray pipe, respectively.

[0023] The transmission gear rings in the two spray mechanisms are engaged with synchronous toothed belts on their sides.

[0024] The water supply assembly also includes a control mechanism, which includes a control motor fixed to the top of the second chamber. A drive gear is fixed to the output end of the control motor, and the drive gear and the drive gear ring in any of the spray mechanisms are engaged by a linkage toothed belt.

[0025] Based on the above-described apparatus, the present invention also provides a method for the artificial propagation of *Hippophae rhamnoides*, comprising the following steps: S1: When the collecting plate is at its lowest position, place the horseshoe fern planted in the planting pot into the connecting groove in chamber two, so that the pot is lowered to the bottom and fits against the bottom surface of chamber one.

[0026] S2: Control the operation of the drive component to raise the collection plate to the appropriate fixation height by driving the positioning mechanism, and position the support rod of the horse hoof fern by operating the positioning mechanism.

[0027] S3: Close the glass panel to create a separate growing space for the horseshoe fern, and regularly operate the water supply unit and light source to replenish its water and light.

[0028] S4: The spores propagated by the leaves of the horse hoof fern fall into the collection plate under the influence of the spraying action of the water replenishment operation. They are then distributed to multiple upper interfaces by the water flow and input from the lower interface into the corresponding propagation pots in the propagation tank through the conveying hose installed at the bottom.

[0029] S5: When the mixture of spores and water enters the corresponding delivery hose, the weight of the mixture triggers the mechanism, causing the soil in the storage tube to subsequently enter the delivery hose and be discharged downwards, covering the mixture in the breeding pot, thus completing the breeding and planting operation.

[0030] S6: Later, the spore-planting pots can be removed from the top of the drawer box for transplanting.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an artificial propagation and cultivation device and cultivation method for horseshoe ferns, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The artificial propagation and cultivation device and method for horseshoe ferns, by setting up a liftable collection plate, an upper interface with a flow guide surface and a delivery hose, uses a spray irrigation method to not only replenish the water source for mature horseshoe fern mother plants, but also naturally promote the shedding of spores and guide them into the distribution channel, and finally automatically fall into the designated propagation pots. This completely replaces the tedious work of traditional manual collection and sowing of spores, greatly improves efficiency and reduces spore loss.

[0032] 2. The artificial propagation and cultivation device and method of the horse hoof fern, by installing a triggering mechanism and storage tube on the spore transport path of the delivery hose, can be automatically triggered when the spore water flows through, effectively and quantitatively releasing the pre-stored fine-grained culture soil and mixing it with the spores, and transporting it together to the propagation pot. This achieves immediate and uniform thin-layer soil covering after sowing, creating the best conditions for spore germination and significantly improving the germination rate and seedling uniformity.

[0033] 3. The artificial propagation and cultivation device and method for the Fern of the Horseshoe Fern adopts a drawer-type design for the propagation components, which allows staff to easily pull out and put in and take out propagation pots in batches and transplant seedlings, reducing labor intensity. The mother plants are planted in independent planting pots, which facilitates independent management. At the same time, combined with programmable control of the spray components and light lamps, it can create and maintain a stable humidity and light environment for the growth of the mother plants and the shedding of spores, reduce external interference, and promote the high-quality and continuous production and collection of spores.

[0034] 4. The artificial propagation and cultivation device and its cultivation method for horseshoe ferns integrate key propagation steps such as mother plant cultivation, spore collection, automatic distribution, soil mixing and covering, and environmental control into one device. The components work together to achieve semi-automated operation of the entire process from mature mother plant cultivation to spore sowing and soil covering, providing reliable hardware support for the efficient and standardized artificial propagation of horseshoe ferns.

[0037] 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.

[0038] Example 1 Please see Figure 1 - Figure 9As shown, the artificial propagation and cultivation device for horseshoe fern proposed in this embodiment includes a rectangular metal frame 1. The top and bottom of the frame 1 are plate structures. Inside the frame 1, a horizontal metal partition plate 11 is fixed between the middle and the bottom. The partition plate 11 divides the interior of the frame 1 into two independent chambers: a chamber 12 located below the partition plate 11 and a chamber 2 13 located above the partition plate 11. Each of the four sides (front, back, left, and right) of the chamber 2 13 is equipped with an openable and closable glass panel 3 for easy observation and operation. When closed, it forms a sealed cultivation space.

[0039] It should be further noted that the glass panel 3 has a sealing strip along its edge, which ensures the seal at the connection point when closed.

[0040] A large circular connecting groove 111 is provided at the axial center of the partition plate 11, and multiple smaller circular lower interfaces 112 are distributed around the connecting groove 111 as the core.

[0041] The chamber 12 is equipped with a propagation component 2 for planting mother plants and cultivating new seedlings. It includes two drawer boxes 21 that can be horizontally pulled out of the frame 1. The two drawer boxes 21 are arranged opposite each other. The top of each drawer box 21 has multiple propagation slots 211. The position of the propagation slots 211 is aligned vertically with the multiple lower interfaces 112 on the partition plate 11. Each propagation slot 211 contains a propagation pot 212 that matches its inner diameter for spore cultivation.

[0042] The middle of the opposite sides of the two drawer boxes 21 is semi-circular and concave. When the two drawer boxes 21 are closed, the inside is a hollow columnar groove, which is aligned vertically with the connecting groove 111 on the partition plate 11. A planting pot 22 with the same diameter is placed inside the groove for planting mature fern mother plants as a source of spores.

[0043] The second chamber 13 is equipped with a collection component 4 for collecting and distributing spores that have fallen from the mother plant. It includes a collection plate 41 that can move horizontally up and down. The collection plate 41 is concave to prevent spores from scattering from the edges. A positioning mechanism 42 is installed on the collection plate 41. The mechanism includes a connecting groove 421 at the center of the plate body. The connecting groove 421 is aligned vertically with the connecting groove 111 to allow the planting pot 22 to be placed in or removed. A bearing ring 422 is installed in the connecting groove 421. Multiple screw-in bolts 423 are distributed circumferentially inside the bearing ring 422. By tightening the bolts 423, the front end of the bolts is pressed tightly against the rootstock of the mother plant of the fern, which helps to stabilize the plant.

[0044] On the collection plate 41, multiple upper interfaces 43 are distributed around the connecting groove 421 as the core. The upper interfaces 43 and the lower interfaces 112 are aligned vertically to facilitate the output of spores.

[0045] The second chamber 13 is equipped with a conveying assembly 5, which is responsible for the transfer of spores. It includes multiple conveying hoses 51, with the top end of each conveying hose 51 fixedly connected to the upper interface 43 and the bottom end fixedly connected to the lower interface 112, forming a channel from the collection plate 41 to the corresponding breeding tank 211.

[0046] Each delivery hose 51 is fixedly connected to a connection box 52 on its side wall. A storage tube 53 is also fixedly connected to the top of the connection box 52. The storage tube 53 is pre-filled with fine-grained culture soil for covering spores.

[0047] A triggering mechanism 54 is installed inside the connection box 52. The mechanism includes a synchronization plate 541 that can slide up and down in the inner cavity of the connection box 52. Two guide blocks 542 are fixed on the top of the synchronization plate 541. The two guide blocks 542 match the inner diameter of the delivery hose 51 and the storage tube 53 and extend into the corresponding tube body respectively.

[0048] Both guide blocks 542 have limit blocks 547 fixed on their back sides, and limit grooves 548 are opened at corresponding positions on the inner walls of the delivery hose 51 and the storage tube 53. The limit blocks 547 slide in the limit grooves 548, so that the guide blocks 542 can only move up and down and will not rotate or fall off.

[0049] The synchronization plate 541 has an output slot 543 in the middle, and two guide blocks 542 with their opposite faces inclined downwards to guide the spore-water mixture and the stored culture soil to be discharged from the output slot 543 to the bottom.

[0050] A connecting plate 544 is fixed to the bottom of the synchronization plate 541. The shaft of the connecting plate 544 has a round hole, and a support rod 545 that matches its inner diameter is fitted inside the hole. A tension spring 546 is fitted on the support rod 545. The two ends of the tension spring 546 abut against the bottom of the connecting box 52 and the bottom of the connecting plate 544, respectively. In the natural state, the synchronization plate 541 is pushed upward, so that the limiting block 547 enters the corresponding pipe and blocks the inside of the pipe.

[0051] A drive assembly 6 is installed inside chamber 2 13 to control the lifting and lowering movement of the collection plate 41. It includes a drive motor 61 fixed to the top surface of the partition plate 11 (i.e., the bottom inside chamber 2 13). The output end of the motor is vertically upward and connected to a screw rod 62. At the same time, a screw hole is opened on the collection plate 41, and the screw rod 62 is threaded into the screw hole. When the drive motor 61 operates, its output end drives the screw rod 62 to rotate. Under the meshing force of the screw rod 62 and the screw hole, the collection plate 41 is driven to rise and fall smoothly along the vertical path of the screw rod 62.

[0052] The second chamber 13 is equipped with a water supply component 7, which is used to provide water to the mother plant of the fern and assist in the shedding of spores. It includes two sets of horizontally symmetrically arranged spraying mechanisms 71. Each set of spraying mechanisms 71 includes two connectors 711 fixed to the top of the second chamber 13 (i.e., the bottom surface of the top plate of the frame 1). A spraying pipe 712 is rotatably connected between the two connectors 711. The spraying pipe 712 has several spray holes, which are used to evenly spray the water entering the spraying pipe 712 onto the mother plant and leaves of the fern.

[0053] One end of the spray pipe 712 is fixed with a drive gear ring 713, and the other end is fixed with a transmission gear ring 714. The transmission gear rings 714 of the two sets of spray mechanisms 71 are linked by a synchronous gear belt 715, so that when any transmission gear ring 714 rotates, it drives the other transmission gear ring 714 to rotate through the synchronous gear belt 715, so that the spray pipes 712 in the two sets of spray mechanisms 71 swing synchronously.

[0054] The water supply assembly 7 also includes a control mechanism 72, which includes a control motor 721 fixed to the top of the second chamber 13. A drive gear 722 is fixed on the output shaft of the control motor 721. The drive gear 722 is connected to the drive gear ring 713 of one of the spray mechanisms 71 through a linkage toothed belt 723. When the control motor 721 works, it can drive the two spray pipes 712 to rotate synchronously through the linkage toothed belt 723 and the synchronous toothed belt 715 to achieve uniform spraying.

[0055] The light lamp 8 is installed at the top of the chamber 2 13 (i.e., the bottom surface of the top plate of the frame 1, and located between the two sets of spray mechanisms 71) to provide supplemental lighting for the horseshoe fern when needed.

[0056] Based on the above-described apparatus, the artificial propagation and cultivation method of *Hippophae rhamnoides* in this embodiment includes the following steps: S1: Initially place the mother plant. By starting the drive motor 61, lower the collecting plate 41 to the lowest position. At this time, the connecting groove 421 is aligned with the connecting groove 111. The planting pot 22, which has been planted with mature fern mother plants, is placed from above the second chamber 13 into the first chamber 12 through the connecting groove 421 and the connecting groove 111, so that it sits on the bottom surface of the first chamber 12 (i.e., the top surface of the plate at the bottom of the frame 1).

[0057] S2: Fix the mother plant, control the drive motor 61 to rotate in the opposite direction, drive the collection plate 41 to rise to an appropriate height (usually so that the fern leaves are fully spread above the collection plate 41), and then operate the positioning mechanism 42 to tighten the multiple bolts 423 in the bearing ring 422 so that their inner ends press against the rootstock of the mother plant in the planting pot 22 to achieve stable positioning.

[0058] S3: Environmental control. By closing all glass panels 3, chamber 2 13 forms an independent and sealed planting space. As needed, the control motor 721 and the light lamp 8 are activated periodically or according to a set program. Water is sprayed through the rotating sprinkler pipe 712 to replenish the water for the horseshoe fern, and the light lamp 8 provides the necessary light to simulate a suitable growth environment.

[0059] S4: Spore collection and distribution. Under suitable conditions, spores will be produced on the back of the leaves of the horsehair fern. When the water supply component 7 sprays water, the water flow will cause the mature spores to fall off the leaves and onto the collection plate 41 below. The collection plate 41 is designed with a slightly inclined guide surface and the upper interface 43 is funnel-shaped. Under the flushing and guidance of the water flow, the spores are distributed to each upper interface 43 and then enter the corresponding delivery hose 51.

[0060] S5: The spores and soil are automatically mixed and covered. When the mixture (water containing spores) enters the upper end of the delivery hose 51 and flows through the guide block 542, its weight will press down on the guide block 542 and the synchronization plate 541, overcoming the elastic force of the tension spring 546 and moving downward. When the synchronization plate 541 moves down to a certain position, the output slot 543 on it connects the lower port of the delivery hose 51 and the storage tube 53. At this time, the spore water continues to flow downward, and the fine-grained culture soil in the storage tube 53 also enters the delivery hose 51 through the output slot 543 under the action of gravity, mixes with the spore water, and is transported downward with the water flow. Finally, the mixture of spores and soil is sent into the breeding pot 212 in the corresponding breeding tank 211 through the lower interface 112. After the water seeps out, the spores are covered by a thin layer of soil, completing the automatic sowing and covering process. After the water flows through, the synchronization plate 541 is reset under the action of the tension spring 546, and the channel of the storage tube 53 is cut off again.

[0061] S6: Transplanting Management. After a period of cultivation, the spores in the propagation pot 212 germinate into seedlings. At this time, the drawer box 21 can be pulled out from the side of the frame to easily take out the propagation pot 212 with seedlings for subsequent transplanting and maintenance.

[0062] The working principle of the artificial propagation and planting device and planting method of the Ferns fasciatus proposed in this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the drive motor 61 is controlled to operate, so that its output end drives the spiral rod 62 to rotate in the opposite direction. Under the meshing force of the screw hole of the rod body and the collecting plate 41, the plate body is lowered to the lowest point. At this time, the planting pot 22 with mature Ferns fasciatus mother plants is put into the connecting groove 421. At this time, the pot body passes through the groove body and descends to its bottom and fits against the top surface of the bottom plate of the frame 1 (that is, the bottom of the chamber 12). Then, two drawer boxes 21 filled with planting pots (without spores) are inserted from both sides of the chamber 12 and closed, so that the semi-circular grooves on the opposite sides of the drawer boxes 21 cover the sides of the planting pots 22 for fixation.

[0063] At this time, the drive motor 61 is controlled to operate, so that its output end drives the screw rod 62 to rotate in the forward direction again. Under the meshing force of the screw hole between the rod and the collecting plate 41, the plate is raised to an appropriate height (that is, the height position required by the positioning mechanism 42 to fix the support rod of the mature mother plant of the fern). Then the motor stops running, and then the bolt 423 is rotated so that its front end is tightly attached to the corresponding position of the individual support rod of the fern for fixation.

[0064] Subsequently, the glass panel 3 and the frame 1 are closed to form an independent space for the propagation and cultivation of horseshoe ferns. The water supply component 7 and the light lamp 8 are periodically activated to provide water and light to the mother plant. When the water supply component 7 is activated, water is input into the connector 711 of the two sets of spray mechanisms 71 through the external water supply device. The water then enters the spray pipe 712 and is pressurized inside before being sprayed onto the mother plant through the nozzle.

[0065] At the same time, by starting the control motor 721, its output end drives the drive gear 722 to rotate alternately in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Under the force of the drive gear 722 and the drive gear ring 713 meshing in the same linkage gear belt 723, the corresponding spray pipe 712 is driven to swing. At the same time, under the force of the transmission gear ring 714 at the other end of the spray pipe 712 meshing in the synchronous gear belt 715, the two sets of spray mechanisms 71 operate simultaneously to evenly irrigate the mother plant.

[0066] During irrigation, water droplets hit the leaves of the mother plant, causing the leaves to shake and dislodging the spores below. The spores fall onto the collection plate 41 and are autonomously distributed into the corresponding upper interface 43 along with the irrigation water. They are then concentrated in the lower connected delivery hose 51. When the weight of the spores and water exceeds the elastic force of the tension spring 546, the tension spring 546 is compressed and tightened. At this time, the synchronization plate 541 moves down, causing the two guide blocks 542 to detach from the corresponding pipes (the upper part of the delivery hose 51 and the bottom interface of the storage tube 53). The spores are then discharged from the lower interface 112 into the corresponding propagation pot 212 along with the water from the delivery hose 51. Finally, the culture soil stored in the storage tube 53 enters the delivery hose 51 and falls into the propagation pot 212 to cover the spores, thus completing the spore propagation operation.

[0067] The breeders periodically pull out the drawer box 21, remove the breeding pot 212 after the breeding operation is completed, and replace it with a new breeding pot 212. The above steps can be repeated to complete the batch breeding operation.

[0068] 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.
