[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solution of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inside" and "outside" are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the specific scheme of the embodiment is as follows: a plug tray seedling transport box, including a top cover 1, a plug tray box 2 and a base 3, the plug tray box 2 is stacked between the top cover 1 and the base 3, the plug tray box 2 includes a rectangular box body and a bottom plate 4, the top and bottom surfaces of the rectangular box body are open, the bottom plate 4 is arranged in the middle of the rectangular box body, and the bottom plate 4 separates the plug tray box 2 into an upper layer and a lower layer.
[0032] When the plug tray boxes 2 are stacked, the lower layer of the plug tray box 2 located at the top and the upper layer of the plug tray box 2 located at the bottom together form an independent space for accommodating the plug trays 9 and the plug tray seedlings.
[0033] A support frame is provided in the upper layer of the plug tray box 2, and the support frame is used to carry the plug tray 9. The support frame includes a plurality of telescopic rods 5 parallel to each other, and the telescopic rods 5 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the plug tray box 2. The telescopic rods 5 include a main rod and a secondary rod, and the main rod and the secondary rod are rotatably connected by threads.
[0034] When the cell tray 9 is placed on the support frame, the telescopic rod 5 is located between adjacent cell sites. The telescopic rod 5 can limit the position of the cell tray 9 and prevent the cell tray 9 from moving significantly on the horizontal plane, thereby facilitating transportation.
[0035] A plurality of fixing holes are respectively provided on the inner walls on the opposite sides of the plug tray box 2, and the fixing holes are arranged in a matrix on the inner wall. The telescopic rod 5 is connected to the plug tray box 2 through the fixing holes. The telescopic rod 5 can be removed by shortening the length of the telescopic rod 5, and then the telescopic rod 5 is moved to a suitable height, and the length of the telescopic rod 5 is extended so that the telescopic rod 5 is fixed on the plug tray box 2 again, thereby adjusting the distance between the support frame and the bottom plate 4 to adapt to plug trays 9 of different heights.
[0036] A drainage hole 6, a water pipe 7 and a telescopic support column 8 are provided on the top surface of the bottom plate 4. The water pipe 7 and the telescopic support column 8 are located on the upper layer of the plug tray box 2. The drainage hole 6 is set through the bottom plate 4. The telescopic support column 8 and the water pipe 7 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the plug tray box 2. The drainage hole 6, the water pipe 7 and the telescopic support column 8 are arranged around the support frame, so that the drainage hole 6 and the water pipe 7 are respectively located on both sides of the support frame.
[0037] The upper and lower adjacent bottom plates 4 are connected to each other through a telescopic support column 8. The telescopic support column 8 includes a first column and a second column. The first column and the second column are rotatably connected through a thread.
[0038] The water pipe 7 is used to be inserted into the drainage hole 6. The water pipe 7 includes a first tube body and a second tube body. The top of the first tube body and the bottom of the second tube body are connected by a threaded rotation. A water inlet is provided at the top of the second tube body. A drainage outlet is provided on the tube wall of the first tube body, and the drainage outlet is located at the bottom of the first tube body.
[0039] The vertically adjacent plug tray boxes 2 are connected through the drainage holes 6 and the water pipe 7. For any two vertically adjacent plug tray boxes 2, the drainage holes 6 of the upper plug tray box 2 are on the same axis with the water pipe 7 of the lower plug tray box 2 in the vertical direction, and the water pipe 7 of the upper plug tray box 2 is on the same axis with the drainage holes 6 of the lower plug tray box 2 in the vertical direction.
[0040] Since the water conduit 7 of any plug tray box 2 between the upper and lower adjacent plug tray boxes 2 is on the same axis as the telescopic support column 8 of the other plug tray box 2, the drainage hole 6 of the plug tray box 2 is set at the bottom of the telescopic support column 8. In order to enable the drainage hole 6 to drain water normally, it is necessary to open a drainage port on the pipe wall of the telescopic support column 8, and the drainage port is located at the bottom of the telescopic support column 8.
[0041] The top cover 1 is provided with a water inlet pipe 101, which is used to communicate with the water guide pipe 7 of the plug tray box 2 stacked on the top.
[0042] A water tank 301, a battery, a PLC controller and a heating device are provided in the base 3. A submersible pump 302 and a temperature sensor are provided in the water tank 301. A water outlet 303 of the water tank is provided on the side wall of the base 3. The water outlet of the submersible pump 302 is connected to the water outlet 303 of the water tank through a hose. The hole tray box 2 stacked on the base 3 is connected to the water tank 301 through a drainage hole 6. The water outlet 303 of the water tank is connected to the water inlet pipe 101 through a hose.
[0043] The heating device is buried under the water tank 301. The heating device adopts an electric heating plate. The submersible pump 302, the PLC controller, and the electric heating plate are respectively connected to the battery through cables. The temperature sensor, the submersible pump 302, and the electric heating plate are respectively connected to the PLC controller through cables. The PLC controller turns on or off the electric heating plate according to the water temperature measured by the temperature sensor. The PLC controller controls the submersible pump 302 to turn on or off according to a preset time interval.
[0044] The method of using the utility model is as follows:
[0045] Before transportation, each plug tray 9 containing plug seedlings is placed in each plug tray box 2, and a proper amount of water is added to the water tank 301, and then the plug tray boxes 2 are stacked layer by layer on the base 3, and finally the top cover 1 is installed on the topmost plug tray box 2, and a hose is used to connect the water tank outlet 303 and the water inlet pipe 101.
[0046] During transportation, the PLC controller will start the submersible pump 302 at regular intervals, and water will be pumped out of the water tank 301, flowing into the plug tray box 2 stacked on the top layer through the water inlet pipe 101 and the water guide pipe 7. Then the water will pass under each plug tray 9 in the plug tray box 2. Since the bottom of the plug tray 9 is provided with through holes for absorbing water, the matrix in the plug tray 9 can absorb water in this process. Finally, the unabsorbed water will flow into the next layer of plug tray box 2 from the drainage hole 6. After the water flows through the plug tray boxes 2 of each layer from top to bottom, it will flow back to the water tank 301 from the drainage hole 6 of the plug tray box 2 stacked on the bottom layer, thereby completing the water replenishment of the plug tray seedlings.
[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
