Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tomato seedling cultivation, in particular to a combined type tomato plug tray seedling cultivation irrigation device. Background Art

[0002] Whether it's flowers or vegetables, plug trays are a fundamental innovation in modern horticulture, ensuring rapid and large-scale production. Plug trays have become a crucial tool in factory-based seedling production. Plug trays are typically made of materials such as polystyrene foam, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene. They are manufactured using blow molding or injection molding. Typical vegetable and ornamental seedling trays are made of polystyrene.

[0003] During the process of tomato seedling cultivation, irrigation of tomato seedlings is relatively important. Since Xinjiang is relatively dry, if ordinary irrigation methods are used, the water may evaporate before it penetrates into the roots in the middle of the seedling cultivation, making the roots unable to absorb water and affecting the growth of tomatoes. The evaporation of water also wastes water resources to a certain extent. When irrigating, it is not possible to irrigate the roots of tomato seedlings and reduce the waste of water resources. How to save water and fully irrigate the roots during irrigation is a problem that needs to be studied. Therefore, this research team invented a combined tomato tray seedling irrigation device to solve the irrigation problem of tomato seedlings. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] 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.

[0020] See also Figure 1-3 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0021] A combined tomato seedling tray irrigation device includes symmetrically arranged irrigation components, wherein the irrigation component includes a base plate 20, and vertical rods 11 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the upper side of the base plate 20. A mounting seat 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the vertical rods 11, and a spray component is arranged between the vertical rods 11.

[0022] The spray assembly includes a positioning plate 4 and a water tray 3. The positioning plate 4 is fixedly mounted between the vertical rods 11. The water tray 3 is located below the positioning plate 4. A water pipe 2 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the water tray 3 and is inserted into the positioning plate 4. The spray assembly is used to irrigate tomato seedlings. The shower-type water tray 3 structure makes the water spray more uniform. An adjustment assembly is provided below the positioning plate 4.

[0023] The adjustment component includes a support plate 18 and a symmetrically arranged support rod 5. The support rod 5 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the upper surface of the positioning plate 4. A support ring 8 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support rod 5. A shaft is sleeved inside the support ring 8. A rotating wheel 6 is sleeved on the surface of the shaft. A knob 9 is installed at the front end of the shaft. A pull rope 7 is connected between the rotating wheel 6 and the support plate 18. Movable shafts 19 are evenly installed between the support plates 18. Baffle rods 17 are evenly installed on the upper surface of the support plate 18. The setting of the baffle rods 17 plays a limiting role, which can block and position the tomato seedlings.

[0024] A water storage bag 21 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the base plate 20. The water storage bag 21 is used for storing water and increasing pressure. A first connecting pipe 1 is connected between the water storage bag 21 and the water pipe 2. A first water tank 13 is fixedly installed on the side of the vertical rod 11 on the right side. A water inlet pipe 12 is installed on the upper side of the first water tank 13. A water pump 14 is installed on the surface of the first water tank 13. A water outlet pipe 15 is installed at the water outlet end of the water pump 14. A second connecting pipe 16 is connected between the water outlet pipe 15 and the water storage bag 21.

[0025] A water guide column 23 is installed on the left side of the lower surface of the base plate 20. A water pipe 25 is set inside the water guide column 23. A second water tank 22 is installed at the lower end of the water guide column 23. A third connecting pipe 24 is connected between the second water tanks 22.

[0026] The knob 9 is provided with a screw corresponding to the rotating wheel 6 , and the rotating wheel 6 is provided with a groove corresponding to the pull rope 7 .

[0027] The diameter of the water-passing capillary 25 is smaller than that of the first connecting tube 1 , and the diameter of the first connecting tube 1 is smaller than that of the second connecting tube 16 . Due to the smaller diameter of the water-passing capillary 25 , water is discharged slowly, and the discharged water can be collected again and reused, thereby realizing automatic and precise irrigation of tomato seedlings.

[0028] Working principle: In the tomato planting area, multiple groups of the irrigation devices are set up for combination, and a main pipe is connected to the last second water tank 22 to collect the discharged water. In the process of raising seedlings, the tomato plug tray is placed on the support plate 18 for raising seedlings. According to the stage of raising seedlings and the growth cycle of tomato seedlings, the irrigation is also different. In the early stage, ordinary irrigation can be used, because the roots of tomato seedlings are relatively shallow and not lush enough at this time. As the tomato seedlings grow, the root system becomes denser and deeper. At this time, water is passed into the first water tank 13 through the water inlet pipe 12, and then through the action of the water pump 14, the water is pumped into the first water tank 13. Water flows through the water bag 21, so that the water bag 21 can be expanded. When it expands to a certain extent, the switch of the water pump 14 is turned off, and the water flow into the water bag 21 is stopped. The expanded water bag 21 will push the support plate 18, so that the support plate 18 forms an arc structure. At this time, slight cracks will appear in the soil, and the water pressure in the water bag 21 will cause water to be sprayed from the water tray 3 to the tomato seedlings. At this time, due to the cracks in the soil, it is easier for water to penetrate into the root system. As the water in the water bag 21 decreases, irrigation is stopped, and the support plate 18 becomes horizontal again, realizing automatic irrigation of the tomato seedlings, and it is easier to penetrate into the root system, reducing the waste of water resources.

[0029] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
