Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to but is not limited to the technical field of seedling plug trays, and in particular relates to a seedling plug tray capable of being stacked and used for producing seedlings. Background Art

[0002] Plug tray seedling cultivation is a novel seedling raising technology for vegetables, fruits, and melons that rapidly cultivates high-quality, strong seedlings. Using a seedling matrix, precise seeding is performed in each tray hole, achieving immediate seedling success. Compared to traditional nutrient pot seedling cultivation, this technology offers advantages such as ease of operation, reduced seedbed space, labor and cost savings, and high seedling success and transplant survival rates. It is suitable for both intensive seedling production and individual household production. After years of pilot trials and demonstrations, it has been widely adopted.

[0003] In hole tray seedling cultivation, due to changes in ambient temperature and humidity and the time required for different crop seeds to germinate, the traditional method is to place the hole trays on a seedling rack or on the ground after sowing. This method requires regular watering due to the rapid loss of moisture in the hole tray matrix. Normal watering causes fertilizer loss, and improper watering results in poor germination and weak seedlings. Most modern seedling centers have temperature and humidity controlled germination rooms. Placing the hole trays after sowing in the germination room can speed up germination and ensure uniform seedling emergence. However, existing hole trays cannot be stacked. After sowing, the hole trays can only be placed flat, and the space advantage of the germination room cannot be utilized. The development of stackable hole trays allows multiple hole trays to be stacked together after sowing, making full use of the space in the germination room for seed germination. After the hole trays are stacked, the moisture in the hole tray matrix is ​​not easily lost. In addition, the temperature and humidity in the germination room meet the requirements for seed germination, resulting in uniform and strong seedlings.

[0004] It is necessary to solve the problem of the stacking function of the plug tray, realize the large-scale production of plug tray seedlings, improve the efficiency of seedling cultivation, and improve the scale and modernization of plug tray seedling cultivation.

[0005] In view of the above analysis, the technical problems that need to be solved urgently in the existing technology are:

[0006] Existing seedling trays cannot be stacked and can only be stacked horizontally, occupying a large area. The water content of the tray substrate is easily lost, resulting in inconsistent seedling emergence time, uneven seedling height, a large number of weak seedlings, and poor seedling quality.

[0007] The existing seedling hole trays cannot be stacked and can only be placed flat in the temperature and humidity controlled seedling room, resulting in low space utilization, inability to play the role of a modern seedling center, and inability to achieve large-scale seedling cultivation.

An upwardly protruding cross-shaped support rib 9 is provided at the bottom of the hole to ensure air circulation between the hole tray and the seedbed, improve the air permeability of the hole matrix, and ensure the levelness of the bottom of the hole tray and the neatness of the seedlings.

[0032] The utility model can be applied to plastic plug tray production enterprises to provide stackable plug trays for plug tray seedling centers and enterprises. The stackable plug tray production can improve the efficiency of seedling cultivation for plug tray seedling centers and enterprises, realize large-scale production, and provide socialized services.

[0033] Relevant evidence of the technical effects achieved by the embodiments of the utility model.

[0034] This utility model uses a plug tray for raising corn seedlings. Using a substrate-based seedling system, the plug trays are first treated with subsoil substrate, followed by aeration seeding. After sowing, the substrate is covered and watered, and the trays are stacked. The stacked trays are then placed on a tray. The trays are then moved into a seedling emergence chamber, where temperature and humidity are controlled. After two days of seedling emergence, the trays are removed from the chamber. The trays are then placed in the seedling raising area. Using a stacked tray for seedling emergence increases seedling emergence efficiency by 80-100 times, increasing the emergence rate by 10-20%, and the standard seedling rate by 25%.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] A seedling tray capable of stacking seedlings for seedling production comprises a tray panel provided with a plurality of holes, latches, and ventilation holes. The side walls of the holes are provided with ventilation grooves, the bottom wall of the holes is provided with upwardly protruding cross-shaped support ribs, and a drainage hole is provided in the center of the bottom wall of the holes. The drainage hole has a diameter of 12 mm, and the latch has a diameter of 8 mm and a height of 4 mm. When multiple seedling trays are stacked together, the latches of the upper tray interlock with the drainage holes in the bottom wall of the holes of the lower tray, forming a stable stacked structure.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Based on Example 1, the material of the plug tray panel was further improved, using a high-strength, corrosion-resistant plastic material to extend the service life of the seedling tray. By improving the material, the plug tray can be used for a long time in high humidity and high temperature environments, and is suitable for a variety of different seedling raising scenarios, including indoor seedling raising and greenhouse seedling raising.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] Based on Example 1, the design of the ventilation holes was improved by increasing their number and distribution density to enhance the ventilation effect of the seedling tray. Specifically, four ventilation holes with a diameter of 5 mm were evenly distributed around each hole to ensure sufficient air circulation, which helps the breathing and growth of the seedling roots. By increasing the number of ventilation holes, the survival rate and growth rate of the seedlings can be significantly improved.

[0041] Example 4

[0042] Based on Example 1, the cross-shaped support rib structure was further optimized, with a double-layer design to improve the overall load-bearing capacity and stability of the plug tray. Each layer of support ribs was 2 mm high, with a 1 mm gap between the two layers. This allowed the plug tray to withstand greater weight without deformation, making it suitable for large-scale seedling cultivation and long-distance transportation.

[0043] The above embodiments optimize the seedling tray through various improvements in structural design, material selection, ventilation performance, and load-bearing capacity, further enhancing the practicality and reliability of the seedling tray. These improvements enable the seedling tray to better meet the needs of different seedling raising environments in actual use, improving the survival rate and growth quality of seedlings.

[0044] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to this. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention and within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
