Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of seedling raising devices, and particularly relates to a seedling raising box. Background Art
[0002] A seedling raising box is a special container for raising seedlings, usually used for raising seedlings of crops such as vegetables, flowers, and fruit trees. A good growth environment can be provided in the seedling raising box to promote the germination of seeds and the growth of seedlings.
[0003] The applicant found in daily seedling raising experiments that in the common seedling raising box structures on the market, the seedling trays used inside are mostly designed as regular rectangular flat trays. Although the space utilization rate can be increased and as many seedlings as possible can be cultivated in the same batch. However, in seedling raising experimental research, there are some special light experiments where the experimental conditions require the same light source to irradiate the seeds of the same batch on the same seedling tray, but at the same time, it is necessary to simulate scenarios with a larger range of different light angles and different light intensities to observe the differences in the development of seeds. With the existing seedling raising box and its internal seedling tray structure, when facing a single light source irradiation, due to the simple and flat design of the seedling tray structure, it basically cannot meet the experimental requirements.

Specific embodiments
[0021] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model. Embodiment
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present utility model provides a seedling raising box, which includes a box body 10 and a seedling tray 20 fixed in the box body 10. The seedling tray 20 includes a lotus pod-shaped main body 21. The top of the lotus pod-shaped main body 21 has a tray surface 22 that bulges in a spherical crown shape. A plurality of seedling holes 23 that can be adaptively inserted and loaded with seedling cups 30 are uniformly distributed on the tray surface 22, and each seedling hole 23 has a different orientation.
[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, by improving the structure of the seedling tray in the seedling raising box, the whole body of the tray is in the shape of a lotus pod and has a tray surface that bulges in a spherical crown shape. In the soil cultivation light experiment, after placing seeds in the seedling cups 30, due to the height difference and the orientation of the orifices of the seedling holes 23, whether irradiated directly from above or obliquely from above and sideward, the seeds in each seedling cup 30 have different light conditions, which can meet the scenario of simulating different light angles and different light intensities for the same batch of seeds using the same light source in a special light experiment, so as to observe the differences in the development of seeds under different light influence conditions.
[0024] As an example of an optimized design, in combination with the spherical crown-shaped bulge of the disk surface 22, it should be noted that objects accidentally falling on the disk surface 22 are likely to roll into the box body 10, such as seedling-raising cups or the culture soil in the seedling-raising cups, or other solid seedling-raising accessories. Therefore, in this embodiment, in response to this situation, a curled edge portion 24 that extends upward and inward is designed at the outer edge of the disk surface 22. An annular blocking groove 25 is formed between the side of the curled edge portion 24 facing the disk surface 22 and the disk surface 22. When solid substances roll off the disk surface 22, they will accumulate in the annular blocking groove 25 at the edge of the disk surface 22 and will not directly fall into the box body 10, avoiding the situation where the nutrient solution in the box body 10 may be contaminated by the falling sundries in the semi-aquatic and semi-soil seedling-raising scenario. Further, as a deeper structural optimization design, while the annular blocking groove 25 is designed to block solid substances as much as possible, it is recommended that the nutrient solution or water sprayed from top to bottom can flow back into the box body 10. Therefore, in this embodiment, a horizontally penetrating drain hole 26 is provided in the annular blocking groove 25, and a plurality of drain holes 26 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the seedling-raising tray 20.
[0025] In the seedling-raising experiment, there are rich cultivation forms such as soil cultivation, hydroponics, or semi-aquatic and semi-soil seedling-raising. These methods have different seedling-raising advantages. In this embodiment, in combination with the actual needs of the seedling-raising experiment, a number of liquid infusion channels 27 penetrating the lotus seedpod-shaped main body 21 are provided on the lotus seedpod-shaped main body 21. The top ends of the liquid infusion channels 27 are in one-to-one correspondence and communication with the bottoms of the seedling-raising holes 23. A planting cotton strip 40 extending from the seedling-raising holes 23, the liquid infusion channels 27 to the inside of the box body in sequence is provided on the seedling-raising tray. The planting cotton strip 40 is equivalent to the extension of the root system of the seedlings and can be used to continuously absorb the nutrient solution and water in the box body 10. In the single soil cultivation mode, the bottom of the seedling-raising cup 30 does not contact the planting cotton strip 40, and the nutrient supply is completed by spraying or other methods from above the seedling-raising tray. In the hydroponics mode, the seedling-raising cup 30 can be removed, so that the top of the planting cotton strip 40 extends into the seedling-raising hole 23 and a seed implantation groove is provided at the center of the end of the cotton strip. The seeds are pressed into the groove to continuously absorb the nutrient solution and grow. After the root system of the seeds continuously develops and elongates, it can also squeeze into the gap of the liquid infusion channel and directly contact the nutrient solution in the box body 10 in part. In the semi-aquatic and semi-soil cultivation mode, the bottom and side parts of the seedling-raising cup 30 have pores. When placing, the bottom of the seedling-raising cup 30 is fully contacted with the planting cotton strip 40 or directly wrapped by the planting cotton strip 40.
[0026] Preferably, a bottom supporting boss 28 is provided at the center of the bottom of the lotus seedpod-shaped main body 21. The bottom surface of the bottom supporting boss 28 is flat and can be stably placed on the bottom of the box body 10. A liquid permeating groove 281 is provided on the side of the bottom supporting boss 28. The liquid permeating groove 281 penetrates through the side wall of the bottom supporting boss 28 and is communicated with the liquid infusion channel 27 at the central part, avoiding affecting the nutrient solution delivery in the liquid infusion channel 27 at the central part.
[0027] There are many forms of fixing the seedling tray 20 inside the box body 10. In this embodiment, according to the detailed structural design of the seedling tray 20, it is preferably provided with a hook 11 on the inner wall of the box body 10 near the top of the box body. The hook 11 can be adapted to hook on the liquid discharge hole 26 to fix the seedling tray 20, completing the loading and fixing of the seedling tray 20. Among them, the hook 11 can also be a metal part capable of appropriate plastic deformation, used for appropriate deformation and bending to slightly adjust the height position of the seedling tray 20 within a small range.
[0028] In the light experiment of the seedling box, combined with the specific situation of the experimental environment, sometimes it is necessary to appropriately adjust the orientation angle of the seedling tray 20 relative to the light source. As a feasible optimization design example, the middle part of the bottom of the seedling tray 20 is movably connected to the inner wall of the bottom side of the box body 10 through a spherical hinge. This design enables the seedling tray 20 to be conveniently fine-tuned in angle relative to the box body 10, and the spherical hinge can be optionally designed with damping, so that the seedling tray 20 is not easy to shake after being deflected by force and hovering.
