Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of soilless cultivation, in particular to a hydrophilic planting sponge structure. Background Art

[0002] Soilless cultivation is a modern seedling technology that uses lightweight materials as seedling substrate to fix plants, allowing plant roots to directly contact nutrient solution and using mechanized precision sowing to produce seedlings in one go.

[0003] Hydrophilic cultivation sponge is a new type of soilless cultivation substrate that has emerged in recent years. It is made of a mixture of polymer foaming materials and a certain proportion of organic or inorganic matter. Hydrophilic cultivation sponge is widely used in the field of soilless cultivation because of its advantages such as looseness and breathability, good hydrophilicity, cleanliness, non-toxicity, no odor, and light weight.

[0004] The structure of the hydrophilic planting sponge currently available on the market is to evenly divide the hydrophilic planting sponge into thousands of compartments, open a seedling chamber in the compartment, and sow a seed in the seedling chamber; then the seed in the seedling chamber is pressed into the hydrophilic planting sponge manually or mechanically to increase the water absorption rate of the seed, thereby increasing the germination rate of the seed. Otherwise, the contact area between the seed and the sponge will be affected (there is a gap between the surface of nearly half of the seed and the sponge), affecting the germination rate of the seed.

[0005] The existing Chinese patent with the announcement number CN209283940U discloses a planting sponge, which specifically discloses that the planting sponge body has a number of evenly arranged compartments, each compartment has a conical first seedling cavity and a second seedling cavity arranged at the bottom of the first seedling cavity and connected, and the second seedling cavity is adapted to the shape of the seed, and the bottom of the second seedling cavity has a cross-shaped incision, so that the root of the seed after germination extends along the incision. The planting sponge solves the above-mentioned defect that the seeds in the seedling cavity need to be pressed into the inside of the planting sponge manually or mechanically to improve the water absorption rate of the seeds; however, the planting sponge still has the following defects: 1. The strength of the known sponge is not high, and the weight increases after absorbing water. It will become loose after long-term use, causing the second seedling cavity to deform, resulting in a gap between the seeds and the inner wall of the second seedling cavity, affecting the germination rate of the seeds.

[0006] To this end, we designed a hydrophilic sponge structure for cultivation. Utility Model Content

[0032] It should be noted that the horizontal direction corresponds to the width direction of the hydrophilic sponge board 1, and the vertical direction corresponds to the length direction of the hydrophilic sponge board 1. In other words, the length of the horizontal board 2 is the same as the width of the hydrophilic sponge board 1, and the length of the vertical board 3 is the same as the length of the hydrophilic sponge board 1.

[0033] As required, the horizontal plate 2 and the vertical plate 3 can be connected by welding or by snapping. As required, the horizontal plate 2 and the vertical plate 3 are connected by snapping, so that when damage occurs to one of the horizontal plate 2 and the vertical plate 3, it is convenient to replace. Specifically, the upper section of the horizontal plate 2 or the vertical plate 3 is provided with a plurality of upper card slots 4 along its length direction, and the lower section of the vertical plate 3 or the horizontal plate 2 is provided with a plurality of lower card slots 5 along its length direction, and the upper card slots 4 and the lower card slots 5 are opposite to each other, so as to facilitate the horizontal plate 2 and the vertical plate 3 to snap and cross. Further, the horizontal plate 2 and the vertical plate 3 have the same height. Further, the upper card slots 4 and the lower card slots 5 have the same depth. At this time, after the horizontal plate 2 and the vertical plate 3 are snapped and crossed, the top surface of the horizontal plate 2 and the top surface of the vertical plate 3 are located in the same plane, and the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 2 and the bottom surface of the vertical plate 3 are located in the same plane.

Such arrangement can support hydrophilic sponge board 1 by horizontal plate 2 and vertical plate 3 intersecting each other, prevent hydrophilic sponge board 1 from becoming loose after a long time.

[0036] In this embodiment, combined with the attached Figure 1-3 6, a planting cavity 7 is provided in the rectangular space formed by the horizontal plate 2 and the vertical plate 3 of the hydrophilic sponge board 1. That is to say, each planting cavity 7 is limited by the horizontal plate 2 and the vertical plate 3, so that each planting cavity 7 can be guaranteed not to be seriously deformed, and the contact area between the seed and the hydrophilic sponge board 1 is guaranteed.

[0037] Furthermore, the planting chamber 7 includes an inverted conical chamber 71, a seed retention chamber 72 and a root accommodating chamber 73 from top to bottom.

[0041] Furthermore, the hydrophilic sponge board 1 is provided with a matching enclosure 6 at its periphery; if necessary, the enclosure 6 can also be designed as a mesh board.

[0042] Embodiment 2, combined with the attached Figure 1-5 , a hydrophilic sponge structure for cultivating plants, based on the first embodiment, in order to ensure the stability between the enclosure 6, the horizontal plate 2 and the vertical plate 3, a reduced diameter portion 61 for supporting the horizontal plate 2 or the vertical plate 3 is provided at the bottom of the enclosure 6. That is, the entire sponge structure for cultivating plants can be lifted by lifting the enclosure 6 without deformation.

[0043] Furthermore, a limiting groove 62 is provided on the inner side wall of the enclosure 6 or the top surface of the reduced diameter portion 61 at a position corresponding to the end of the transverse plate 2 or the longitudinal plate 3 .

[0044] Take the upper slot 4 provided on the upper section of the horizontal vertical board 2 as an example for explanation, at this time, the inner side wall of the enclosure 6 or the top surface of the reduced diameter portion 61 is provided with a limit slot 62 at a position corresponding to the end of the horizontal vertical board 2. During assembly, firstly, the two ends of the horizontal vertical board 2 are correspondingly engaged in the two corresponding limit slots 62, at this time, the horizontal vertical board 2 can be in an upright state, after all the horizontal vertical boards 2 are placed, the vertical vertical boards 3 are placed in sequence, and then the hydrophilic sponge board 1 is placed inside the enclosure 6.

[0045] During assembly, the vertical plate 3 can be placed in the corresponding vertical groove 12 first, and then the horizontal plate 2 can be placed in the corresponding horizontal groove 11, and then the surrounding plate 6 can be fastened to the outside of the hydrophilic sponge plate 1, and finally the entire sponge cultivation structure can be turned over 180 degrees. Due to the presence of the reduced diameter portion 61, the horizontal plate 2 will not fall off when turning over 180 degrees.
