[0033] It should also be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances. Example 1

[0034] Combine Figure 1-7 As shown, the utility model provides a seedling raising device for planting Chinese medicinal materials, including a bracket 1, on which a plurality of water storage trays 2 are slidably provided; a support plate 3 is provided above each of the water storage trays 2, and the support plate 3 has a receiving cavity 31 connected to the water storage tray 2; a seedling raising cup 4 is provided in the receiving cavity 31.

[0035] The bracket 1 is designed as a sturdy frame structure for supporting the entire device, and its bottom is equipped with wheels 14. The water storage tray 2 is used to store water for the seedlings in the seedling cups 4 to absorb. A plurality of connectors 21 are provided in the water storage cavity of the water storage tray 2, and a plurality of corresponding docking members 32 are provided on the support plate 3 to improve the stability of the structure. The receiving cavity 31 on the support plate 3 is used to place the seedling cups 4 and ensure that the seedling cups 4 can absorb the water in the water storage tray 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, both sides of the bracket 1 are provided with first chutes 11 for the outward sliding and pulling of the water storage tray 2, and second chutes 12 for the up and down movement of the water storage tray 2. Second sliders 22 are provided on both sides of the water storage tray 2 to match the first chutes 11 and the second chutes 12. These chutes together form a sliding path for the water storage tray 2. There are four second sliders 22, each equipped with a locking mechanism. This sliding and locking mechanism is known from the prior art and will not be described in detail here. During use, the water storage tray 2 can be slid back and forth along the first chutes 11 and up and down along the second chutes 12, until it is locked in a designated position.

[0037] Furthermore, the second slider 22 is slidably connected to the water storage tray 2, and one end of the second slider 22 located in the water storage tray 2 is vertically connected to a handle 25, which passes through the front side of the water storage tray 2; a spring 221 is provided on the outer cover of the second slider 22. The first chute 11 is connected to the front and rear ends thereof with a limit groove 15 that matches the second slider 22. Figure 4 As shown, both sides of the water storage tray 2 are provided with an inner cavity structure for the second slider 22 and the handle 25 to slide. One end of the spring 221 is connected to the handle, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the inner cavity structure. When in use, the handle 25 slides inward, and at the same time drives the second slider 22 to slide inward. The spring 221 is applied with tension. When the external force on the handle 25 is removed, the spring 221 slides the handle 25 and the second slider 22 outward at the same time through elastic force.

[0038] The bracket 1 also has rollers 7 on both sides for supporting the vertical sliding of the water storage tray 2. The bracket 1 is provided with a third slot 13 that matches the rollers 7. The rollers 7 are also provided with a stopper 71 that matches the second slider 22. When the second slider 22 disengages the stopper slot 15 and slides into the third slot 13, the stopper 71 catches the sliding second slider 22. Through the interaction between the slider and the slot, the water storage tray 2 can slide up and down along the second slot 12 or the third slot 13, making it easy for the operator to adjust the tray's position according to different needs.

[0039] Furthermore, the seedling raising device also includes a connecting rod 6 for supporting the water storage tray 2; one end of the connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the bracket 1, and the other end is provided with a fixing block 63 for supporting the water storage tray 2.

[0040] It should be noted that the connecting rod 6 also includes a telescopic rod 61 and a telescopic end 62. When supporting the water storage tray 2, it automatically extends and contracts as the water storage tray 2 slides up and down, which can increase the stability of the water storage tray 2 and prevent it from shaking during the sliding process.

[0041] Each of the seedling cups 4 is provided with a water-absorbing rope 45 at its bottom; one end of the water-absorbing rope 45 is accommodated in the water storage cavity of the water storage tray 2, and the other end is accommodated in the inner cavity of the seedling cup 4. The seedling cup 4 is used to cultivate seedlings. The design of the water-absorbing rope 45 enables the device to automatically replenish water, and a plurality of fine holes are provided around the bottom of the seedling cup 4 for root ventilation.

[0042] In addition, an overflow port 23 and a control piece 24 for controlling the size of the overflow port 23 are provided at the front end of the water storage tray 2. The control piece 24 can slide on the water storage tray 2 to adjust the overflow rate to adapt to the irrigation requirements of different seasons and plants. A water receiving tray 5 for holding water flowing out of the overflow port 23 of the water storage tray 2 is provided at the lower end of the bracket 1. When used for irrigation, an automatic circulating water device with a self-cleaning function can be used in conjunction with the device, and its two ends are respectively placed in the water storage tray 2 and the water receiving tray 5 at the upper end of the bracket 1. The operation is convenient and can save a lot of time.

[0043] The two fixing blocks 63 are then removed, and the water storage tray 2 is pushed to separate the second slider 22 from the limiting member 71 and slide along the first slide groove 11 to the specified position. The above-mentioned cycle operation can realize the exchange of the upper water storage tray 2 with the lower water storage tray 2. Example 2

[0044] Based on the first embodiment, Figure 5As shown, to further improve the survival rate of transplanted Chinese medicinal herb seedlings, the seedling cup 4 includes a cup body with at least two connected ends, the cup body including a stopper 41; the lower end of the stopper 41 is connected to a cup barrel 42. A water-absorbing rope 45 is provided at the bottom of the cup body, and an arc is provided at the bottom of the adjacent cup body to match the water-absorbing rope 45. The outer diameter of the stopper 41 is larger than the outer diameter of the cup barrel 42, and after connection, a stepped shape can be formed. When the seedling cup 4 is placed in the accommodating cavity 31, it can ensure that the stopper 41 is above the support plate 3 and the cup barrel 42 is placed inside the accommodating cavity 31.

[0045] In this embodiment, one end of one of the limiting portions 41 has a buckle 43, and the adjacent limiting portion 41 has a slot 44 that matches the buckle 43. During use, the buckles 43 of the two cup bodies are connected to the slots 44, and the side ends of the two cup barrels 42 are also tightly fitted, and the arc mouth is in contact with the water absorption rope 45 to prevent it from falling off during use.

[0046] Working principle: The buckle 43 cooperates with the slot 44 to ensure that the various parts of the seedling cup 4 can be tightly connected. When transplanting seedlings, clamp the limit part 41 to the transplanting point, use external force to separate the buckle 43 and the slot 44 to make the two cup bodies independent, and then separate the seedling cup 4 and the seedling matrix.
