[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Depend on Figure 1-7 The present invention includes a main body 1. Three storage slots 2 are provided on the top of the main body 1. The inner walls of each storage slot 2 are semi-circular at both ends. A base plate 4 is provided at the bottom of the same end inside each of the three storage slots 2. Drainage holes are provided on the surface of each base plate 4. A semi-circular movable baffle 3 is provided inside each storage slot 2, and the inner wall of each baffle 3 is fitted against the side wall of the corresponding base plate 4. An opening 5 is provided at the bottom of each storage slot 2 and below the corresponding base plate 4. A column 8 is provided below each of the four corners of the bottom of the main body 1. A rod groove is provided on the top of each of the four columns 8, and a hydraulic rod 9 is fixedly installed in each of the four rod grooves. The telescopic ends of the four hydraulic rods 9 are respectively fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the main body 1. A water receiving tray 10 is fixedly installed between the top side walls of the four columns 8. Three support rods 7 are fixedly installed, and funnels 6 are fixedly installed at the top of each of the three support rods 7. The tops of the three funnels 6 are respectively located in the three openings 5 ​​at the bottom of the main body 1, and the tops of the three funnels 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the corresponding base plate 4. A water channel 11 is opened at the top of each support rod 7, and a water outlet 12 is opened on both sides of each support rod 7, which communicates with the bottom of the corresponding water channel 11. By turning the screw 16, the baffle 3 is brought into contact with the side wall of the base plate 4. Then, the soil is placed on the base plate 4, and then the Melaleuca alternifolia seedlings are planted in the soil. When transplanting the Melaleuca alternifolia seedlings, the main body 1 is moved down by controlling the hydraulic rod 9. Under the support of the funnels 6 and the support rods 7, the base plate 4 cannot change its height. In this way, the height of the main body 1 decreases, allowing the base plate 4 to push out the soil and seedlings in the storage trough 2.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the front of the main body 1 has three screw holes 15, which are connected to three storage slots 2 respectively. Each screw hole 15 has a screw rod 16 threaded into it. Each of the three baffles 3 has a fixing block 13 fixedly installed at the center of its outer wall. One end of each screw rod 16 passes through the screw hole 15 and is rotatably connected to the three fixing blocks 13 respectively. By turning the screw rod 16, the baffle 3 can be moved in the storage slot 2, so that the soil in the storage slot 2 no longer contacts the baffle 3, making it easier for the bottom plate 4 to lift the soil.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the sides of the three fixing blocks 13 are provided with grooves, and a bearing 14 is fixedly installed in each groove. The three screws 16 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner ring wall of the corresponding bearing 14.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, when the hydraulic rod 9 retracts to the bottom of the main body 1 and contacts the water receiving tray 10, the top of the base plate 4 is flush with the top of the main body 1, so that the base plate 4 can push out the soil and seedlings in the storage trough 2 together.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the height of the baffle 3 is the same as the depth of the storage trough 2, so that the baffle 3 can block the soil in the storage trough 2.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the opening at the top of the funnel 6 covers the area of ​​several seepage holes on the base plate 4. In this way, all the water left through the seepage holes on the base plate 4 will enter the funnel 6, and then flow through the water channel 11 and the outlet hole 12 along the support rod 7 into the water receiving tray 10.

[0027] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
