Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of culture tray technology, specifically a culture tray with an adjustable structure. Background Technology

[0002] A cultivation tray is a device used for hydroponic cultivation of forage grass. It is commonly used for livestock feeding in homes or small farms. Hydroponic forage cultivation trays are usually designed with a multi-layer structure, which can effectively save planting area and is suitable for forage grass cultivation in limited space. The cultivation tray is generally placed on the upper side of the support partition, and the inside of the cultivation tray contains a grooved planting tray for placing seeds or seedlings, which can be soaked in water.

[0003] The seeds or seedlings of forage grass are placed inside the planting tray, which is then placed inside the cultivation tray. The seeds or seedlings are fully soaked in water to provide sufficient moisture for the forage grass and keep the roots moist, which is conducive to the absorption of water and nutrients by the forage grass. After the seeds or seedlings absorb water and nutrients, they will grow. The cultivation tray and the support are usually fixed with bolts. When adjusting the height between the cultivation trays, it is troublesome to remove many bolts, making the cultivation tray not easy to adapt to forage grass seeds or seedlings at different growth stages. Therefore, we propose a cultivation tray with an adjustable structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a culture tray with an adjustable structure to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that it is troublesome to remove a lot of bolts when adjusting the height between culture trays, making the culture trays unsuitable for adapting to pasture seeds or seedlings at different growth stages.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a culture tray with an adjustable structure, comprising a top plate and an adjusting rod, wherein the adjusting rod and the supporting rod are fixedly fixed on the lower side of the top plate, and the adjusting rod and the supporting rod are connected by a supporting plate.

[0006] Preferably, an adjusting sleeve is sleeved on the outer side of the adjusting rod, and the interior of the adjusting sleeve is movably connected to the limiting sleeve through a bearing. A toothed ring is fixed on the outer side of the limiting sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, the toothed ring is movably connected to the adjusting sleeve via a bearing, and a toothed column is mated to the upper side of the toothed ring, the toothed column being movably connected to the adjusting sleeve via a bearing.

[0008] Preferably, a crank is fixed to one side of the toothed column, and the adjusting sleeve has a first groove on the outside of the limiting sleeve, the first groove being in contact with the first ball.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The culture tray with the adjustable structure, when the handle is rotated, causes the limiting sleeve to move up and down, which in turn causes the adjusting sleeve and the sliding sleeve to move the culture cover. This allows the culture cover to be spatially adjusted according to the different growth stages of forage seeds or seedlings, making the culture tray easy to adapt to different growth stages of forage seeds or seedlings. When the collection bottle is rotated and connected to the first water outlet pipe, excess water will overflow from the planting tray and flow into the culture cover and enter the interior of the collection bottle through the first water outlet pipe, making it easy for the culture tray to collect excess culture solution.

[0014] 1. This adjustable cultivation tray allows for the placement of forage seeds or seedlings inside the planting tray. The planting tray is then placed inside the cultivation cover, ensuring the forage seeds or seedlings are fully immersed in water to provide ample moisture and maintain root hydration. When the cultivation cover needs to be adjusted according to different growth stages of the forage, the handle is rotated, causing the limiting sleeve to move up and down along with the adjusting sleeve. This movement of the adjusting sleeve and sliding sleeve allows the cultivation cover to be adjusted spatially according to the different growth stages of the forage seeds or seedlings, making the cultivation tray easily adaptable to forage seeds or seedlings at different growth stages.

[0015] 2. When the staff adds culture medium to the culture tray with the adjustable structure, the sealing cap is rotated and connected to the second water outlet pipe, and then the collection bottle is rotated and connected to the first water outlet pipe. At this time, the excess water will overflow from the planting tray and flow into the culture cover and enter the interior of the collection bottle through the first water outlet pipe, making it easy for the culture tray to collect excess culture medium.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] See also Figures 1-5 and Figure 8This utility model provides a technical solution: a culture tray with an adjustable structure, including a top plate 1 and an adjusting rod 101. The adjusting rod 101 and a support rod 102 are fixed to the lower side of the top plate 1, and are connected by a support plate 103. An adjusting sleeve 2 is sleeved on the outer side of the adjusting rod 101, and the interior of the adjusting sleeve 2 is movably connected to a limiting sleeve 201 via a bearing. A toothed ring 202 is fixed to the outer side of the limiting sleeve 201, and is movably connected to the adjusting sleeve 2 via a bearing. A toothed column 203 is abutted on the upper side of the toothed ring 202, and is movably connected to the adjusting sleeve 2 via a bearing. A crank handle 204 is fixed to one side of the toothed column 203. Furthermore, the adjusting sleeve 2 has a first groove 205 on the outside of the limiting sleeve 201, which is connected to the first ball 206. The outer side of the support rod 102 is fitted with a sliding sleeve 207, and the inner side of the sliding sleeve 207 has a second groove 208, which is connected to the second ball 209. A culture cover 210 is fixed between the sliding sleeve 207 and the adjusting sleeve 2. The surface of the adjusting rod 101 has a threaded groove, and the adjusting rod 101 is threadedly connected to the limiting sleeve 201. The toothed ring 202 and the toothed column 203 are engaged. The first groove 205 is engaged with the first ball 206, and the second groove 208 is engaged with the second ball 209.

[0027] In specific implementation, according to Figures 1-5 and Figure 8 Place the forage seeds or seedlings inside the planting tray, then place the planting tray inside the cultivation cover 210, fully immersing the seeds or seedlings in water to provide sufficient moisture and keep the roots moist. When the cultivation cover 210 needs to be adjusted according to different growth stages of the forage, the operator can rotate the crank handle 204, causing the crank handle 204 to rotate the toothed column 203. The toothed ring 202 meshes with the toothed column 203, causing the toothed ring 202 to rotate along with the toothed column 203, thus causing the toothed ring 202 to rotate the limiting sleeve 201. The adjusting rod 101 has a threaded groove on its surface, and the adjusting rod 101 and the limiting sleeve 201... The threaded connection 01 allows the limiting sleeve 201 to move the adjusting sleeve 2 up and down, which in turn causes the adjusting sleeve 2 and the sliding sleeve 207 to move the cultivation cover 210. This allows the cultivation cover 210 to be adjusted in space according to the different growth stages of forage seeds or seedlings. Furthermore, the first slot 205 engages with the first ball bearing 206, reducing friction between the adjusting sleeve 2 and the adjusting rod 101. The second slot 208 engages with the second ball bearing 209, reducing friction between the sliding sleeve 207 and the support rod 102. This allows the cultivation cover 210 to be adjusted smoothly and effortlessly, making it easy for the cultivation tray to adapt to different growth stages of forage seeds or seedlings.

[0028] See also Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The lower side of the culture cover 210 is fixed with a first water outlet pipe 3 and a second water outlet pipe 301. The first water outlet pipe 3 is connected to the collection bottle 302. A measuring ruler 303 is embedded inside the collection bottle 302. The second water outlet pipe 301 is connected to the sealing cap 304. The first water outlet pipe 3 and the collection bottle 302 are threaded together. The collection bottle 302 is made of transparent plastic. The second water outlet pipe 301 and the sealing cap 304 are threaded together. The thread size of the first water outlet pipe 3 is the same as the thread size of the second water outlet pipe 301.

[0029] In specific implementation, according to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the staff adds culture medium to the culture tray, the sealing cap 304 is rotated and connected to the second water outlet pipe 301. The second water outlet pipe 301 and the sealing cap 304 are threaded together, so that the second water outlet pipe 301 and the sealing cap 304 are in a sealed state. Then, the collection bottle 302 is rotated and connected to the first water outlet pipe 3. The first water outlet pipe 3 and the collection bottle 302 are threaded together, so that the first water outlet pipe 3 and the collection bottle 302 are confined together. At this time, the excess water will overflow from the planting tray and flow into the culture cover 210 and enter the interior of the collection bottle 302 through the first water outlet pipe 3, so that the culture cover 210 can easily collect the excess culture medium. And through the fixed measuring ruler 303, the staff can easily check the excess amount of culture medium, so that the culture tray can easily collect the excess culture medium.

[0030] In summary, the seeds or seedlings of forage grass are placed inside the planting tray, which is then placed inside the cultivation cover 210. The seeds or seedlings are fully immersed in water to provide sufficient moisture for the forage grass. When the cultivation cover 210 needs to be adjusted at intervals according to different growth stages of the forage grass, the crank handle 204 is rotated, causing the adjusting sleeve 2 and the sliding sleeve 207 to move the cultivation cover 210. This allows the cultivation cover 210 to be spatially adjusted according to the forage grass seeds or seedlings at different growth stages, making the cultivation tray easy to adapt to forage grass seeds or seedlings at different growth stages. When the operator adds culture solution to the cultivation tray, the collection bottle 302 is rotated and connected to the first water outlet pipe 3. Excess water will overflow from the planting tray and flow into the cultivation cover 210 and enter the collection bottle 302 through the first water outlet pipe 3, making it easy for the cultivation tray to collect excess culture solution.
