Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of planting, and particularly relates to a seed planting capsule. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of agriculture and ecological restoration, vegetation blocks are usually used for greening desertified areas and restoring vegetation on river bank slopes, helping to improve soil and increase vegetation coverage. However, during transportation and handling, vegetation blocks are prone to being bumped and damaged at the edges, resulting in the loss of nutrients. Moreover, when stored, the water-retaining agent in the vegetation blocks easily absorbs environmental moisture and is prematurely activated, causing the seeds in the vegetation blocks to mildew or the active ingredients to be lost. In the prior art, encapsulation can also be carried out through capsules or coatings. During preparation, seeds are usually placed at the center of the capsule, and materials such as water-retaining agents and soil fertilizers are wrapped around the outside. However, during irrigation, after the capsule or coating shell dissolves, it is still necessary to gradually wet the substances wrapped around the outside of the seeds before finally reaching the seeds. The whole process requires a large amount of water, resulting in waste of water resources. At the same time, when the capsule or coating shell dissolves, the internal soil fertilizer directly contacts the native soil, causing the loss of nutrients into the native soil and resulting in waste.

[0039] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0040] Embodiment 1

[0041] As Figures 1 - 7 shown, a seed planting capsule includes a planting capsule 1 and seeds 2. The planting capsule 1 includes an upper capsule body 101 and a lower capsule body 102. The lower capsule body 102 is hollow inside and is provided with a layer of permeable membrane 3 on its inner wall. The inner cavity of the lower capsule body 102 is filled with a water-retaining agent 4 and a soil fertilizer 5. The upper capsule body 101 is hollow inside and is filled with seeds 2 and a microbial agent 6.

[0042] The upper capsule body 101 is snap-connected to the lower capsule body 102.

[0043] Furthermore, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the inner cavity of the upper capsule body 101 is sequentially divided into a seed filling layer 1011 and a microbial agent filling layer 1012 from top to bottom;

[0044] The seeds 2 are filled in the seed filling layer 1011;

[0045] The microbial agent 6 is filled in the microbial agent filling layer 1012. After the seeds 2 germinate, the microbial agent 6 can improve the soil microecology while promoting the development of plant roots and enhance the stress resistance of plants;

[0046] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the lower capsule body 102 is sequentially divided into a water absorption layer 1021, a water-retaining agent filling layer 1022, and a soil fertilizer filling layer 1023 from top to bottom;

[0047] The permeable membrane 3 is located in the water-retaining agent filling layer 1022 and the soil fertilizer filling layer 1023;

[0048] The water-retaining agent 4 is filled in the water absorption layer 1021 and the water-retaining agent filling layer 1022. The water-retaining agent 4 can absorb water and release it slowly to continuously supply water to plants;

[0049] The soil fertilizer 5 is filled in the soil fertilizer filling layer 1023;

[0050] Specifically, during preparation, as Figure 2 shown, first, the permeable membrane 3 is flatly attached to the inner wall of the lower capsule body 102 in a folded manner, and then the water-retaining agent 4 and the soil fertilizer 5 are filled into the corresponding water-retaining agent filling layer 1022 and soil fertilizer filling layer 1023, asFigure 4 As shown, the permeable membrane 3 is in the shape of an inverted cone when expanded.

[0051] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, a notch 1013 communicating with the seed filling layer 1011 is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the upper capsule body 101, thereby reducing the wall thickness of the top of the upper capsule body 101, accelerating the dissolution of the top of the upper capsule body 101, and allowing the seeds 2 to be irrigated first;

[0052] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, a prompt arrow 1014 is provided on the outer wall of the planting capsule 1, and the prompt arrow 1014 can ensure that the staff implants the planting capsule 1 into the soil in the correct direction. The arrow of the prompt arrow 1014 points vertically downward, thereby prompting the staff the correct planting direction, ensuring that the notch 1013 of the planting capsule 1 faces upward after the planting capsule 1 is implanted into the soil;

[0053] Specifically, after the planting capsule 1 is vertically planted downward into the soil according to the indication of the prompt arrow 1014, when the planting capsule 1 is watered, the top of the upper capsule body 101 will be dissolved first, and after the dissolution, the water will flow in along the notch 1013 and flow through the seed filling layer 1011 and the microbial agent filling layer 1012 in sequence, so as to water the seeds 2 and the microbial agent 6;

[0054] At the same time, the wall thickness of the lower capsule body 102 is smaller than that of the upper capsule body 101. During the irrigation process, the lower capsule body 102 will dissolve first. After dissolving, the water will flow along the water absorption layer 1021 and flow through the water retaining agent filling layer 1022 and the soil fertilizer filling layer 1023 in sequence, providing water for the water retaining agent 4 and the soil fertilizer 5. As the lower capsule body 102 dissolves, the permeable membrane 3 will be exposed. The water retaining agent 4 and the soil fertilizer 5 will expand after absorbing water, thereby expanding the permeable membrane 3. The permeable membrane 3 can be set The soil fertilizer 5 is isolated from the original sand to prevent the loss of nutrients in the soil fertilizer 5. At the same time, the permeable membrane 3 is a one-way permeable membrane, which ensures that during the irrigation process, the permeable membrane 3 can prevent the water in the water retaining agent filling layer 1022 and the soil fertilizer filling layer 1023 from seeping out, while the external water can penetrate into the water retaining agent filling layer 1022 and the soil fertilizer filling layer 1023 through the permeable membrane 3, further improving the water storage capacity. The permeable membrane 3 is made of degradable material, so that the permeable membrane 3 can be naturally degraded in the later stage to avoid pollution to the environment.

[0055] Embodiment 2

[0056] like Figures 1 - 7 As shown, this embodiment is improved on the basis of the first embodiment as follows: Further, as Figure 7As shown, a spike-shaped piercing portion 1024 is provided at the bottom of the lower capsule body 102, so that the worker can manually press the piercing portion 1024 to easily penetrate the soil surface and implant the planting capsule 1 into the soil during planting;

[0057] The direction of the arrow 1014 can remind the staff to maintain the correct planting direction and ensure that the piercing portion 1024 can penetrate the soil vertically downward.

[0058] In summary, the workflow of the utility model is:

[0059] After the planting capsule 1 is planted into the soil according to the indication of the prompt arrow 1014, when the planting capsule 1 is watered, the top of the upper capsule body 101 will be dissolved first, and after the dissolution, the water will flow in along the notch 1013 and flow through the seed filling layer 1011 and the microbial agent filling layer 1012 in sequence to water the seeds 2 and the microbial agent 6;

[0060] At the same time, the lower capsule body 102 will dissolve first. After dissolution, water will flow into the water-retaining agent filling layer 1022 and the soil fertilizer filling layer 1023 along the water-absorbing layer 1021 and flow through the water-retaining agent filling layer 1022 and the soil fertilizer filling layer 1023 in turn, providing water for the water-retaining agent 4 and the soil fertilizer 5. As the lower capsule body 102 dissolves, the permeable membrane 3 will be exposed to the outside. The water-retaining agent 4 and the soil fertilizer 5 will swell after absorbing water, and the permeable membrane 3 will be stretched open. The permeable membrane 3 is a unidirectional permeable membrane, which ensures that during the irrigation process, the stretched permeable membrane 3 can prevent the water in the water-retaining agent filling layer 1022 and the soil fertilizer filling layer 1023 from seeping out, while the external water can penetrate into the water-retaining agent filling layer 1022 and the soil fertilizer filling layer 1023 through the permeable membrane 3. The permeable membrane 3 can be naturally degraded in the later stage.

[0061] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles of the osmotic membrane 3, water retaining agent 4, soil fertilizer 5 and microbial agent 6 are commonplace and are conventional means or common knowledge, and will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art may make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0062] The above different embodiments can be combined, replaced and used in conjunction with each other.
