Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of seedling raising equipment, and more specifically, to a micro-potato breeding seedling bed. Background Art

[0002] Potato minitubers are small, virus-free seed potatoes grown from virus-free seedlings or tubers in aphid-proof greenhouses or net sheds. Soil-borne diseases are often a key factor affecting their quality. To prevent infection, minitubers are typically grown using soilless cultivation.

[0003] In related technologies, microtubers are typically grown in soilless cultivation using seedbeds. Soilless cultivation is a crop cultivation technique that doesn't use natural soil as a substrate. There are various forms of soilless cultivation, including hydroponics, aeroponics, and substrate cultivation. Typically, workers use aeroponics to cultivate the stems and leaves of microtubers, combined with drip irrigation to cultivate the roots, which can greatly improve the growth efficiency of microtubers.

[0004] However, in actual practice, aeroponics will cause part of the nutrient solution to float in the air in the form of mist, resulting in waste and increasing the cost of microtuber breeding. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a microtuber breeding seedling bed to solve the problem in the related art that when microtuber is cultivated using aeroponics, part of the nutrient solution will float in the air in the form of mist, thereby wasting resources.

[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present application provide the following technical solutions:

[0013] There are multiple dripping pipes, each of which is connected to the special-shaped three-way pipe. The dripping pipe is arranged on the top surface of the cultivation chamber and is located beside the growth cup.

[0014] In some possible implementations, a baffle is provided at one edge of the cultivation chamber, and the baffle is located beside the reflux port.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the reflux port extends along the width direction of the top surface of the incubation chamber, and the length of the reflux port is smaller than the width of the top surface of the incubation chamber.

[0016] In some possible implementations, a reflux groove is provided at a connection line between the plurality of growth cups perpendicular to the reflux port, and the reflux groove extends along the inclined surface of the cultivation chamber and is communicated with the reflux port.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the microtuber breeding bed provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a support 100, a collection box 200, a cultivation chamber 300, a guide tube 500, an aeroponic tube 700, and a drip tube 800. The support 100 is used to support the bed. The collection box 200 is located next to the support 100. The collection box 200 contains nutrient solution for cultivating microtubers. Furthermore, the top surface of the collection box 200 is at the same height as the top of the support 100. In other words, the collection box 200 and the support 100 are designed to be at the same height.

[0029] The cultivation chamber 300 is a container for cultivating and breeding microtubers. The bottom surface of the cultivation chamber 300 is connected to the top surface of the collection box 200 and the top of the bracket 100, respectively. The cultivation chamber 300 is placed on the top of the collection box 200 and the bracket 100, and the cultivation chamber 300 and the collection box 200 are interconnected. The top surface of the cultivation chamber 300 is provided with a growth cup 400, and the interior of the growth cup 400 is cultivated with microtubers through a substrate. In addition, a return port 310 is also provided at the edge of the top surface of the cultivation chamber 300. The top surface of the cultivation chamber 300 is an inclined top surface, and the height of the end where the return port 310 is located is less than the height of the opposite side end. In some embodiments, the return port 310 extends along the width direction of the top surface of the cultivation chamber 300, and the length of the return port 310 is less than the width of the top surface of the cultivation chamber 300.

[0030] In this embodiment, a flow tube 500 is installed above the cultivation chamber 300 and the growth cups 400. This tube is also located above the return port 310. One end of the flow tube 500 is connected to the collection tank 200, which provides the nutrient solution required for microtuber cultivation. Furthermore, a multi-section, shaped tee 600 is mounted on the outside of the flow tube 500. The axis of one branch of the tee 600 is not collinear with the axis of the opposite branch.

[0031] Continue as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the guide tube 500 is connected to multiple mist cultivation tubes 700 through a special-shaped three-way tube 600. The multiple mist cultivation tubes 700 are arranged above the cultivation chamber 300 and the growth cup 400. Multiple groups of atomizing nozzles 710 are arranged above the mist cultivation tubes 700. The atomizing nozzles 710 can perform aerosol cultivation treatment on the stems and leaves of the micro potatoes in the growth cup 400.

[0032] In addition, the guide tube 500 is also connected to multiple drip tubes 800 through the special-shaped three-way pipe 600. The multiple drip tubes 800 are arranged on the top surface of the cultivation chamber 300. The multiple drip tubes 800 are located next to the growth cup 400. The drip tubes 800 are used to add nutrient solution to the matrix in the growth cup 400 to nourish the roots of the micro potatoes.

[0033] In the microtuber breeding bed provided in the embodiments of the present application, when the aeroponic tube 700 above the cultivation chamber 300 and the growth cup 400 is activated to aeroponically cultivate potato seedlings, the nutrient solution in the form of water mist sprayed from the aeroponic tube 700 will fall onto the top surface of the cultivation chamber 300. As the nutrient solution gradually accumulates on the top surface of the cultivation chamber 300, it will flow along the inclined surface 320 at the top of the cultivation chamber 300 and enter the collection box 200 through the return port 310. Because the diversion tube 500 is connected to the collection box 200, the recovered nutrient solution can be reused by the aeroponic tube 700 and the drip tube 800, thereby achieving repeated recycling and utilization of the nutrient solution.

[0034] In some embodiments, a baffle 330 is provided at the edge of the cultivation chamber 300 and is located beside the reflux port 310 . The baffle 330 can prevent the nutrient solution from overflowing the reflux port 310 and spilling when it refluxes.

[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, a reflow groove 900 is provided on the line connecting the growing cups 400, perpendicular to the length of the reflow port 310. The reflow groove 900 extends along the inclined surface 320 of the cultivation chamber 300. When the nutrient solution spilled from the aeroponic culture falls onto the top surface of the cultivation chamber 300, it flows along the reflow groove 900 and into the collection box 200 through the reflow port 310.

[0036] Preferably, an annular groove 910 is provided around the periphery of the growth cup 400, which is interconnected with the reflux groove 900. This allows nutrient solution that slides down the wall of the growth cup 400 to flow through the annular groove 910 into the reflux groove 900 and ultimately to the collection tank 200, thereby significantly improving the recovery and utilization of the nutrient solution. Preferably, the outer diameter of the top opening of the growth cup 400 is smaller than the outer diameter of the bottom opening. This allows the nutrient solution to slide down from the cup mouth, thereby accelerating its recovery and utilization.
