[0026] The following combination Figures 1-4 The utility model describes a seedling cultivation plug tray.

[0027] The utility model provides a seedling tray, comprising a seedling tray 1, a plurality of seedling cups 2 are arranged on the seedling tray 1, a plurality of supporting legs 3 are arranged at the bottom of the seedling tray 1, the ends of the supporting legs 3 are in contact with the ground so that the bottoms of the seedling cups 2 are separated from the ground, the seedling tray 1 is provided with a groove 4 for embedding a drip irrigation pipe, and a distance is set between the groove 4 and the port of the seedling cup 2.

[0028] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the seedling tray 1 has a square structure and includes a plurality of identical seedling cups 2 and support legs 3. The upper openings of the seedling cups 2 are flat and arranged in a honeycomb pattern on a plane, forming the main body of the seedling tray. The seedling tray 1, support legs 3, and seedling cups 2 are made of plastic or resin, and a drainage port 21 is provided at the bottom of the seedling cups 2. The culture medium and seedlings are arranged in the seedling cups 2. When the seedlings are watered, excess water flows out of the drainage port 21. The support legs 3 are used to support the tray. When the support legs 3 support the seedling tray 1, the bottom of the seedling cups 2 is kept away from the ground, which helps with drainage and air rooting.

[0029] Specifically, a groove 4 is set at the top of the seedling tray 1, and a distance is set between the groove 4 and the port of the seedling cup 2. The drip irrigation pipe is placed in the groove 4 to isolate the drip irrigation pipe from the seedling body in the groove 4, thereby realizing the positioning of the drip irrigation pipe on the seedling tray 1, improving the stability of the drip irrigation pipe setting, and avoiding the drip irrigation pipe from blocking the growth of the seedlings.

[0030] The utility model provides a seedling hole tray. By providing a groove 4 for embedding a drip irrigation pipe on the upper end surface of the seedling tray 1, the drip irrigation pipe is embedded in the groove 4 for drip irrigation, which facilitates the laying of the drip irrigation pipe for irrigation, improves the stability of the drip irrigation pipe installation, and avoids the drip irrigation pipe from blocking the growth of the seedling. Support legs 3 are provided at the bottom of the seedling tray 1, and the length of the support legs 3 is set so that the end of the support legs 3 passes through the plane where the bottom of the seedling cup 2 is located. When the seedling tray 1 is placed on the ground, the end of the support legs 3 contacts the ground and separates the bottom of the seedling cup 2 from the ground, increasing the space at the bottom of the seedling cup 2. The roots extending out of the seedling cup 2 are directly in contact with the air, reducing the spread and infection of the roots by ground pests and diseases, facilitating air root cutting and air circulation, saving seedling bed investment, promoting seedling growth, and achieving a high survival rate during the seedling period.

[0031] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the seedling cup 2 gradually increases from the bottom surface to the end of the seedling cup 2.

[0032] Specifically, if Figure 1 、 Figure 4As shown, the seedling cup 2 can be set as a chamfered platform, or the seedling cup can be set as other inverted platform shapes, and the drainage port 21 is set in the middle of the bottom of the seedling cup 2. Specifically, the upper opening of the seedling cup 2 can be set to a 67*67mm, bottom 50*50mm, and height 72mm prism. When storing multiple empty seedling hole trays, the seedling hole trays are stacked and the seedling cup 2 at the bottom of the upper seedling hole tray can be inserted into the seedling cup 2 port of the lower seedling hole tray, thereby improving the compactness of the stacking between the seedling trays 1 and saving storage space.

[0033] Furthermore, a side wall 11 is provided on the edge of the seedling tray 1 , and the supporting legs 3 are fixedly connected to the side wall 11 .

[0034] Specifically, the side wall 11 is arranged in a ring shape at the edge of the seedling tray 1 and protrudes below the seedling tray 1. At the same time, the support leg 3 is fixedly connected to the side wall 11. The side wall 11, the seedling tray 1 and the support leg 3 are integrally formed. While improving the edge strength of the seedling tray 1, the stability of the connection between the support leg 3 and the seedling tray 1 is improved.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, side walls 11 are arranged around the seedling tray 1, and the bottom edge of the side wall 11 is lower than the bottom surface of the seedling cup 2, so as to avoid the side wall 11 of the upper seedling tray 1 contacting the upper end surface of the lower seedling tray 1 when the seedling trays 1 are stacked, thereby preventing the insertion of the seedling cup 2 between the two seedling trays 1 from being blocked, thereby improving the compactness of the stacking between the seedling trays 1 and saving storage space.

[0036] Furthermore, a positioning groove 12 for the end of the supporting leg 3 to be embedded in is provided on the side wall 11 , and the outer wall of the supporting leg 3 is recessed into the outer wall of the side wall 11 .

[0037] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the support legs 3 are connected to the sidewalls 11, and the support legs 3 are offset toward the inside of the seedling tray 1. A positioning groove 12 is provided on the sidewalls 11. The upper ends of the support legs 3 are disposed within the positioning grooves 12, and the inner walls of the positioning grooves 12 are fixedly connected to the support legs 3. The outer end faces of the support legs 3 are recessed into the outer walls of the sidewalls 11, and the sidewalls 11 form grooves at the locations of the support legs 3. When multiple seedling trays 1 are placed side by side and the sides where the support legs 3 are connected touch each other, the grooves provided at the edges of the trays by the support legs 3 allow the adjacent sidewalls 11 to directly contact each other, thereby improving the compactness of the seedling trays 1 and saving storage space. On the other hand, when stacking and storing the seedling plug trays, the ends of the support legs 3 can be aligned with the grooves of the corresponding support legs 3 in the seedling plug tray below, thereby positioning the seedling plug trays. This allows the seedling cup 2 located above to be smoothly inserted into the port of the seedling cup 2 located below, improving the accuracy of the seedling plug tray stacking.

[0038] Furthermore, guide protrusions 31 are respectively provided on both sides of the outer wall of the support leg 3 . The guide protrusions 31 do not protrude from the outer wall of the side wall 11 , and the distance between the two guide protrusions 31 gradually increases from the bottom to the top.

[0039] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the two guide protrusions 31 extend along the edges of the two sides of the guide protrusion to the side wall 11. The guide protrusions 31 are integrally formed with the support legs 3 and the side wall 11. When stacking the seedling plug trays, the support legs 3 are inserted between the two guide protrusions 31. The guide protrusions 31 guide the insertion of the support legs 3. At the same time, the guide protrusions 31 fixed to the support legs 3 improve the strength of the support legs 3. On the other hand, because the outer end surface of the support leg 3 is recessed into the outer wall of the side wall 11, the end of the guide protrusion 31 does not need to protrude from the outer wall of the side wall 11. The side of the guide protrusion 31 away from the support leg 3 is set flush with the side wall 11, which improves the strength of the support leg while allowing the two adjacent side walls 11 to directly contact each other, thereby improving the compactness of the seedling tray 1 and saving storage space.

[0040] Furthermore, a second groove 41 is provided between the port of the seedling cup 2 and the groove 1 4 , and both ends of the second groove 41 are respectively connected to the port of the seedling cup 2 and the groove 1 4 .

[0041] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, when a drip irrigation tube is installed on the seedling tray, the drip irrigation tube is installed in groove 1 4. The drip irrigation water enters groove 1 4 from the drip irrigation tube. Groove 2 41 connects groove 1 4 with the seedling cups 2 located on both sides of groove 1 4, so that the drip irrigation water in groove 1 4 enters the seedling cups 2 along groove 2 41, achieving drip irrigation of multiple seedling cups 2 on both sides of groove 1 4 at the same time. Specifically, groove 1 4 is set to be 20 mm wide and 20 mm deep, groove 2 41 is set to be 5 mm wide, and the bottom surface of groove 2 41 is flush with the bottom surface of groove 1 4.

[0042] Furthermore, a plurality of isolation protrusions 42 are provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the first groove 4 , and the second groove 41 is located between two adjacent isolation protrusions 42 .

[0043] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the second groove 41 is arranged between two adjacent isolation protrusions 42. When drip irrigation is performed, the water outlet of the drip irrigation pipe is respectively arranged between the two adjacent isolation protrusions 42. The top of the isolation protrusion 42 is higher than the height of the bottom surface of the second groove 41. The isolation protrusions 42 on both sides of the second groove 41 block the drip irrigation water so that the drip irrigation water can flow from the second groove 41 into the seedling cup 2 respectively. On the one hand, it ensures that each seedling cup 2 can obtain relatively uniform moisture. On the other hand, it also avoids the drip irrigation water from the end of the groove 1 4, thereby improving the stability of the drip irrigation.

[0044] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the seedling tray 1 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs.

[0045] Specifically, the bottom surface of the seedling tray 1 is provided with reinforcing ribs arranged vertically and horizontally. The reinforcements are arranged crisscross at the bottom of the seedling tray 1 and connected to the outer wall of the seedling cup 2 and the inner wall of the side wall 11, thereby improving the overall strength of the seedling tray and ensuring that the seedling tray is stable, smooth and durable during transportation.

[0046] Furthermore, one end of the seedling tray 1 is provided with a positioning portion 13, and the other end is provided with a positioning portion 14. The positioning portion 13 and the positioning portion 14 are matched so that the grooves 4 on the adjacent seedling trays are aligned.

[0047] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the positioning portion 13 is set as a protruding structure, and the positioning portion 2 is set as a recessed structure. When the seedling hole tray is placed, the two ends of the seedling hole tray are connected end to end, and the positioning portion 13 is extended into the positioning portion 2 14, and the two adjacent seedling hole trays are positioned so that the grooves 14 between the two adjacent seedling hole trays are aligned with each other, so that the grooves 14 of multiple seedling hole trays are connected end to end, so that one drip irrigation pipe can continuously lay multiple seedling hole trays.

[0048] Furthermore, the distance between the end of the support leg 3 away from the seedling tray 1 and the outer wall of the seedling cup 2 is set to 35mm-40mm.

[0049] Specifically, the vertical height of the seedling cup 2 can be set to 72 mm, and the vertical height of the support leg 3 can be set to 110 mm, so that when the seedling hole tray is placed, there is a 38 mm gap between the bottom of the seedling cup 2 and the ground, and the purpose of air root cutting during the seedling period can be achieved without a seedbed.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
