Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of seedling cultivation, in particular to an agricultural seedling cultivation tray. Background Art

[0002] A seedling tray is a small container for planting seedlings or sowing seeds, usually made of plastic or other materials, with multiple small holes or slots for holding seeds or seedlings. They provide a small environment conducive to the growth of seedlings and are usually used on seedling boxes;

[0003] Traditional agricultural seedling trays usually place the seedling trays in a seedling box when using them. The seedling box provides isolation from the external environment, which helps the healthy growth of the seedlings. The appropriate amount of water droplets are manually sprinkled on the soil around the seedlings in the seedling tray.

[0004] Traditional agricultural seedling trays have the following problems: Since the height inside the traditional seedling box is fixed, the height of the seedling tray is also fixed. However, as the seedlings grow, plants at different stages may require different environmental conditions. The fixed-height seedling tray limits the growth of the seedlings, and it is difficult to accurately control the amount of water and the speed of water flow during manual watering, which may result in excessive or insufficient watering, resulting in uneven distribution of water in the seedling tray. For this reason, we propose an agricultural seedling tray. Utility Model Content

[0027] The working principle of an agricultural seedling tray provided by the utility model is as follows: first, the seedlings are inserted into the seedling tray 3, and then the seedling tray 3 is placed on the placement plate 47, then, the water inlet of the water pump 12 is connected to the external water source, and the operation of the water pump 12 is regulated by the single-chip microcomputer 6, and the pressurized water is transported to the water pipe 11 through the hose 10, and then diverted to each nozzle 9 through the diversion hole, sprayed on the seedlings, and the excess water flows into the seedling box 1 through the first drainage hole 46, and is discharged to the outside through the second drainage hole 14. At the same time, the operation of the motor 5 is regulated by the single-chip microcomputer 6, and the output shaft of the motor 5 rotates to drive the screw rod 2 to rotate. The screw rod 2 is threadedly connected to the mounting frame 13 to move along the axis of the screw rod 2, and at the same time drives the water pipe 11 and the mounting frame 2 15 along one end of the outer surface of the sliding column 8, thereby realizing automatic watering of the seedlings, eliminating the need for manual operation.
