Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In agriculture and ecological restoration, vegetation blocks are often used to green desertified areas and help improve soil. However, vegetation blocks are easily bumped and damaged at the edges during transportation and handling. During storage, the water-retaining agent in the vegetation block easily absorbs environmental moisture and activates prematurely, causing the seeds in the vegetation block to mold or lose effective ingredients. In the existing technology, encapsulation can be performed through capsules or coatings, but during preparation, the seeds are usually placed in the center of the capsule, and the water-retaining agent and soil and other materials are wrapped around the outside. During watering, after the capsule or coating shell dissolves, it is necessary to gradually soak the material wrapped around the outer layer of the seed before it can finally reach the seed. The whole process requires a large amount of water, resulting in a waste of water resources. After the prepared seed capsules are broadcasted by drones, the seed capsules fall on the surface of the native soil. However, during the watering process, when the seed capsules dissolve, substances such as slow-release fertilizers, drugs and water-retaining agents will be directly exposed on the surface and come into contact with the native soil, resulting in nutrient loss. At the same time, they are easily affected by wind erosion and blown away, further accelerating the rate of nutrient loss and affecting seed germination and growth. Utility Model Content

[0003] (1) Technical problems solved

[0004] The utility model provides a seed-scattering capsule to solve the following problems:

[0005] 1.

The whole process requires a lot of water, resulting in a waste of water resources.

[0006] 2. After the capsules are dissolved after aerial seeding, slow-release fertilizers, drugs, water-retaining agents and other substances will be directly exposed on the surface and come into contact with the native soil, resulting in the loss of nutrients. At the same time, they are susceptible to wind erosion, which accelerates the loss of nutrients and affects the germination and growth of seeds.

[0007] (2) Technical content

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0015] Furthermore, the alignment ring is sleeved on the docking rod.

[0016] Furthermore, the seed receiving ring, the diaphragm, the docking rod, the support rod, and the alignment ring are all made of degradable materials.

[0017] Furthermore, the guiding structure includes a plurality of collecting grooves provided on the outer wall of the seed receiving ring, the collecting grooves corresponding to the chambers one by one, a plurality of first meshes are provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the collecting grooves, and the collecting grooves are connected to the corresponding chambers through the first meshes.

[0034] 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.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a seed-scattering capsule comprises a seed receiving ring 1 and two capsule shells 2. The two capsule shells 2 are sleeved on the seed receiving ring 1 at their adjacent ends. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the seed receiving ring 1 is provided with a plurality of chambers 101 for placing seeds 3. Specifically, a plurality of support rods 7 are fixed circumferentially on the inner wall of the seed receiving ring 1. The free ends of the plurality of support rods 7 are fixed with the same alignment ring 8. Two adjacent support rods 7, the seed receiving ring 1 and the alignment ring 8 form a chamber 101.

[0037] Combine Figures 1-6 The seed-scattering capsule further includes a diaphragm 4, which is provided with two groups and is respectively arranged on the inner walls of the two capsule shells 2. Specifically, the diaphragm 4 is folded and flatly attached to the inner wall of the corresponding capsule shell 2. When the diaphragm 4 is set on the inner wall of the capsule shell 2, the inner wall of the diaphragm 4 will form an inner cavity. The inner cavity of the diaphragm 4 is filled with a mixed matrix 5 composed of soil, fertilizer, water-retaining agent and microbial agent. The diaphragm 4 can reduce the contact area between the mixed matrix 5 in its inner cavity and the native soil, thereby slowing down the rate of nutrient loss of the mixed matrix 5. At the same time, the diaphragm 4 can also protect the mixed matrix 5 inside it to prevent the mixed matrix 5 from being lost too quickly due to the influence of wind.

[0038] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of second meshes 401 are provided on the diaphragm 4 .

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, during assembly, the diaphragm 4 is first folded and laid flat on the inner wall of the corresponding capsule shell 2, and then the mixed matrix 5 composed of soil, fertilizer, water-retaining agent and microbial agent is filled into the inner cavity of the diaphragm 4. After the filling is completed, the surface of the filled mixed matrix 5 is lightly pressed and flattened, and then the seed storage ring 1 is first nested on the inner wall of one of the capsule shells 2, and the alignment ring 8 is sleeved on the corresponding docking rod 6, and the docking rod 6 is limited by the alignment ring 8. During the nesting process, the flattened mixed matrix 5 can support the seed storage ring 1.

[0040] The seed-scattering capsule further includes a connecting structure provided between the two diaphragms 4, the connecting structure being used to limit the two diaphragms 4. Specifically: Figure 2-Figure 6 The connection structure includes two docking rods 6, and the inner walls of the two diaphragms 4 on the side away from each other are fixed with docking rods 6. The free end of one of the docking rods 6 is provided with a docking socket 601, and the free end of the other docking rod 6 is provided with a docking plug 602, which is pasted in the docking socket 601.

[0041] Furthermore, the seed receiving ring 1 is provided with a guide structure corresponding to the plurality of chambers 101, specifically, Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the guide structure includes a plurality of collecting grooves 102 provided on the outer wall of the seed receiving ring 1. The collecting grooves 102 correspond to the chambers 101 one by one. A plurality of first meshes 103 are provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the collecting grooves 102. The collecting grooves 102 are connected to the corresponding chambers 101 through the first meshes 103.

[0042] Specifically, after the seed storage ring 1 is installed, the seeds 3 are evenly placed on one side close to the first mesh 103, and then the mixed matrix 5 is filled into the chamber 101, and then another capsule shell 2 is put on the seed storage ring 1. When the capsule shell 2 is put on again, a layer of glue is applied to the docking socket 601. When another capsule shell 2 is put on the seed storage ring 1, the docking rod 6 will also be inserted into the docking socket 601, and the docking plug 602 is pasted in the docking socket 601 by glue, ensuring that the two docking rods 6 will not be easily separated by external force after the capsule shell 2 is dissolved, thereby ensuring that the two diaphragms 4 maintain a preset relative position.

[0043] During irrigation or rain, when the capsule shell 2 dissolves, water will flow into the inner cavity of the diaphragm 4 through the second mesh 401 to moisten the mixed matrix 5. At the same time, the water will also flow into the collecting groove 102 and into the chamber 101 through the first mesh 103. The seeds 3 are located on the side close to the first mesh 103, ensuring that the water can moisten the seeds first when flowing into the chamber 101 through the first mesh 103.

[0044] Among them, when the mixed matrix 5 is moistened in the inner cavity of the diaphragm 4, the mixed matrix 5 will expand under the action of the water-retaining agent and open the diaphragm 4. When the diaphragm 4 is opened, it is conical. The diaphragm 4 can be set to isolate the mixed matrix 5 in its inner cavity from the native soil, thereby slowing down the rate of nutrient loss of the mixed matrix 5. At the same time, the diaphragm 4 can also protect the mixed matrix 5 inside it to avoid the mixed matrix 5 from being lost too quickly due to the influence of wind.

[0045] Furthermore, the seed receiving ring 1, the diaphragm 4, the docking rod 6, the support rod 7, and the alignment ring 8 are all made of degradable materials to avoid pollution to the environment in the later stage.

[0046] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and methods of use of the capsule shell 2, the diaphragm 4, and the mixed matrix 5 composed of soil, fertilizer, water-retaining agent, and microbial agent are commonplace and are conventional means or common knowledge, and will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0047] The above different embodiments can be combined, replaced and used in conjunction with each other.
