Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of plant cultivation tools, in particular to a strawberry planting trough. Background Art

[0002] Strawberry culture tanks play a vital role in strawberry cultivation, providing an ideal growing environment for strawberry roots. Through their carefully designed structure, they optimize water management, preventing root soaking from overwatering while ensuring adequate air circulation to promote healthy root growth. Furthermore, they isolate soil pests and diseases, reducing the risk of disease and improving yield and fruit quality.

[0003] At present, the troughs used for strawberry cultivation usually adopt an integrated straight trough design. Although this design has a certain degree of simplicity, it exposes several obvious shortcomings and deficiencies in actual application. First of all, the limitation of the fixed-length design is the most significant problem. Since the length and size of the culture trough need to be customized according to the specific use environment, the lack of standardized modular design makes it difficult to flexibly apply it in different planting sites or greenhouses. If the layout of the planting site changes, or the planting facilities need to be relocated, the existing culture troughs may not be able to adapt to the new environment and need to be redesigned and manufactured, which increases the time and cost burden.

[0004] Secondly, the single function of current strawberry cultivation troughs is another major drawback. These one-piece linear troughs typically only provide basic support and storage functions, failing to effectively integrate multiple functional requirements such as drainage, ventilation, and insulation. Proper drainage and adequate root aeration are crucial for strawberry growth. However, due to the simple design of these cultivation troughs and the lack of specialized drainage and ventilation structures, water accumulation and poor ventilation are prone to occur within the troughs, which in turn affects the health of the strawberry roots and increases the risk of root rot and other diseases.

[0005] Another major drawback is poor site adaptability. Because the culture tanks have fixed dimensions, they are difficult to adjust once customized, making them difficult to adapt to growing spaces of varying sizes and shapes. In complex or irregularly shaped growing areas, the culture tanks may not fully utilize the space, resulting in wasted planting area. Furthermore, in areas with unusual terrain, such as stepped or sloped terrain, these fixed-size linear tanks are particularly difficult to effectively arrange.

[0006] Storage difficulties are also a significant issue with integrated strawberry cultivation tanks. When unused or idle, these tanks, due to their indivisible nature and fixed size, are large and difficult to stack or fold for compact storage, taking up a significant amount of storage space. This not only increases storage costs but can also cause inconvenience and inefficiency during transportation, leading to additional logistics costs and time consumption.

[0007] Finally, maintenance difficulties and durability issues are also challenges facing strawberry culture tanks. Due to their simple structure and lack of modularity, damage or functional failure often requires complete replacement or extensive repairs, resulting in high maintenance costs. Furthermore, the material's durability and aging resistance are insufficient. Prolonged exposure to sunlight and humidity fluctuations can lead to aging and cracking, further shortening the tank's service life.

[0008] In summary, the current design of strawberry cultivation troughs has the limitations of a fixed-length structure, a single function, and a lack of site adaptability and flexibility. At the same time, there are obvious deficiencies in storage, transportation, maintenance, and durability. These problems urgently need to be solved through improved design and the adoption of modular and multifunctional structures. Utility Model Content

[0009] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a strawberry planting trough which solves the problems existing in the current strawberry cultivation troughs, such as structural limitations, single functions, lack of site adaptability and flexibility.

[0010] The utility model is implemented as follows: a strawberry planting trough includes a trough-shaped body, and the trough-shaped body forms a straight long trough, and is characterized in that: a first riveted portion and a second riveted portion are respectively provided at both ends of the trough-shaped body, and the first riveted portion and the second riveted portion of the two strawberry planting troughs are riveted together to form the two strawberry planting troughs into a straight long trough; the bottom surface of the trough-shaped body is provided with N axially extending slits.

[0011] In the above technical solution, preferably, the first riveted portion is a U-shaped slot provided at one end of the slot-shaped body, and the second riveted portion is a U-shaped clamping head provided at the other end of the slot-shaped body.

[0012] In the above technical solution, preferably, the lower portion of the trough-shaped body is provided with supporting legs. Providing supporting legs at the lower portion of the strawberry planting trough significantly reduces labor intensity, eliminating the need to bend over during operation and reducing waist fatigue. Furthermore, this design improves ventilation in the planting trough, enhancing pollination and improving fruit quality. Furthermore, good ventilation and a rational structural design help reduce the occurrence of diseases and further improve the health of strawberry growth.

[0013] In the above technical solution, preferably, the groove-shaped body, the U-shaped groove, the U-shaped clamping head and the leg portion form an integral component.

[0014] In the above technical solution, preferably, an axial insertion hole is provided at the bottom of the groove-shaped body, and an axial rib is inserted into the axial insertion hole.

[0015] In the above technical solution, preferably, the N axial insertion holes are evenly spaced laterally at the bottom of the slot-shaped body.

[0016] In the above technical solution, preferably, the slot is a slot with a rectangular cross section, and the upper end surface of the slot forms the bottom plane of the slot-shaped body.

[0017] The modular strawberry planting trough proposed in this utility model has many significant advantages and demonstrates superior functionality and flexibility compared to existing integrated strawberry cultivation troughs. The following are the main advantages and effects of the modular strawberry planting trough:

[0018] Flexible Configuration: The modular design allows multiple base trough units to be connected to form a straight trough of any length. This flexible configuration capability makes it possible to find a suitable solution for growing sites of different sizes and shapes. Whether it is a small home garden or a large greenhouse, the trough length can be adjusted according to actual needs, greatly improving adaptability and scalability.

[0019] Diversified Functionality: Compared to traditional, integrated troughs, modular strawberry troughs allow for the addition or adjustment of different functional modules as needed. For example, modules for drainage, ventilation, and insulation can be integrated, allowing the trough to simultaneously meet the multiple environmental requirements for strawberry growth, improving planting results and plant health.

[0020] Easy maintenance and replacement: The modular design makes it easier to repair and replace individual modules. If a part is damaged or needs to be upgraded, the user only needs to replace the relevant module, without having to replace the entire culture tank, thus reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0021] Easy to store and transport: Because the modular strawberry planting trough components can be disassembled and reassembled, they can be compactly stored and transported when not in use. This design effectively reduces storage space requirements, improves transportation efficiency, and reduces related logistics costs.

[0022] Enhanced Breathability: The bottom of the culture tank is designed with ventilation slots. This innovation allows for better air circulation in the root area, reducing the risk of root rot caused by moisture accumulation. The ventilation slots also help effectively remove excess water, maintaining a healthy root environment and promoting the growth and development of strawberries.

[0023] Improved Planting Efficiency: The modular strawberry planting trough design maximizes the use of planting space. Precise module configuration allows for optimal planting layout within limited space, increasing planting density and yield. Furthermore, optimized drainage and ventilation further enhances planting efficiency and reduces resource waste.

[0024] Environmental protection and economical: Modular strawberry planting troughs are usually made of recyclable materials, which meets environmental protection requirements. At the same time, due to its modular nature, the production, transportation and maintenance costs are relatively low, which is more economical.

[0025] In summary, modular strawberry planting troughs have significantly improved the shortcomings of traditional strawberry cultivation troughs in terms of planting effects, resource utilization and economy through their flexible configuration, multi-functional integration, easy maintenance, convenient storage and enhanced air permeability, providing a more optimized solution for strawberry planting. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention;

[0027] Figure 2 It is a schematic cross-sectional view of the second embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] To address the structural limitations, single functions, and lack of site adaptability and flexibility of existing strawberry cultivation tanks, this utility model provides a modular strawberry planting tank. This modular strawberry planting tank significantly improves planting efficiency, resource utilization, and economic efficiency through flexible configuration, multifunctional integration, ease of maintenance, convenient storage, and enhanced air permeability. To further illustrate the structure of this utility model, a detailed description with accompanying drawings is as follows:

[0030] Example 1

[0031] See also Figure 1 A strawberry planting trough comprises a trough-shaped body 1, wherein the trough-shaped body forms a straight long trough. That is, the trough-shaped body is formed by a bottom and two side parts, and is a unit component.

[0032] The trough-shaped body is provided with a first riveted portion and a second riveted portion at each end. The riveted connection of the first and second riveted portions of the two strawberry planting troughs forms a straight, elongated trough. This technical feature ensures that the trough-shaped body can be used as a modular unit component, with the ends riveted together to form a straight, elongated trough of unlimited length. The specific riveted structure is not limited in this technical solution and can be an axial plug-and-socket connection. In this embodiment, a preferred riveted structure is disclosed.

[0033] In this embodiment, specifically, the first riveted portion is a U-shaped slot 2 provided at one end of the trough body, and the second riveted portion is a U-shaped head 3 provided at the other end of the trough body. The U-shaped slot is formed on the inner groove surface of the end of the trough body, while the U-shaped head is formed on the outer side surface of the other end of the trough body. By snapping the U-shaped head into the U-shaped slot from top to bottom, two strawberry planting troughs can be connected end to end to form a straight long trough.

[0034] The lower part of the trough-shaped body is provided with a leg portion 4. The design of the leg allows the strawberry planting trough to support the design, which not only ensures ventilation of the lower part of the cultivation environment, but also allows some dwarf crops to be selectively placed or planted in the lower part of the cultivation space. In this embodiment, the trough-shaped body, the U-shaped slot, the U-shaped clamp and the leg portion form an integral component. Specifically, it is an EPS (polystyrene foam) component. Polystyrene foam (EPS) has significant advantages as a modular plant cultivation support component. First, EPS is light and easy to cut into various shapes and sizes, which is convenient for building plant cultivation systems with different structures. Secondly, its good water resistance and corrosion resistance enable it to be used for a long time in a humid environment without being damaged by water immersion or mold. In addition, EPS has good thermal insulation properties, which helps to stabilize the temperature of the plant roots, thereby promoting plant growth. Finally, EPS materials are environmentally friendly and recyclable, with a long service life, and are an economical, efficient and sustainable choice in gardening and agriculture.

[0035] The bottom surface of the trough body is provided with N axially extending slits 5. These slits are rectangular in cross-section, with their upper end surfaces forming the bottom plane of the trough body. This axial slit design effectively drains excess water, preventing it from accumulating at the bottom of the trough, thereby preventing root rot caused by long-term immersion of the roots. Furthermore, the slit structure enhances the permeability of the culture medium, allowing air to more easily enter the root zone, promoting root respiration and healthy growth, and further improving the overall growth quality of the strawberries.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] See also Figure 2 , an axial socket is provided at the bottom of the trough-shaped body, and an axial rib 6 is inserted into the axial socket. Furthermore, N axial sockets are arranged at uniform intervals in the transverse direction at the bottom of the trough-shaped body. Providing axial ribs at the bottom of the polystyrene foam (EPS) culture trough can not only significantly increase the supporting force of the strawberry planting trough and prevent the trough body from deforming or sinking due to load, but also has other important advantages. The axial ribs enhance the structural stability of the culture trough and extend its service life. In addition, the rib design helps to evenly distribute the weight of the plant and culture medium, reduce stress concentration, and thus further reduce the risk of damage. At the same time, this design can effectively improve the connection strength and stability of the riveted ends of the trough-shaped body, and avoid structural damage caused by stress concentration at the riveted joints.

[0038] In this embodiment, further, a grid plate 7 is provided at the bottom of the trough-shaped body, which is fitted into the bottom surface of the trough. The grid plate has axial sieve holes 7-1 with the same number as the axial slots. Horizontal slots are provided at the lower part of both sides of the trough-shaped body. The two ends of the grid plate are inserted into the horizontal slots, and the horizontal insertion width formed by the two horizontal slots is greater than the width of the grid plate, so that the grid plate can be fine-tuned in the horizontal position when plugged in. By fine-tuning the horizontal position of the grid plate, the projected overlap width of the sieve holes and the slots can be adjusted. This projected overlap width is the width of the slit formed at the lower part of the trough-shaped body, so that the slit can be adjusted according to the specific needs of the cultivation environment and the cultivation needs of the plants.

[0039] The strawberry planting trough described in this embodiment is a basic strawberry cultivation basic module unit. N strawberry planting troughs are connected end to end to form a strawberry cultivation trough of any length.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
