Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit seedling transportation, and in particular to a fruit seedling transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] In the cultivation of fruit seedlings, the first step is to select the seedlings and cultivate them using nutrient solutions in a sterile environment. After the seedlings mature, they need to be transported to a designated location for planting. During this transportation process, it is necessary to ensure the survival rate of the seedlings. The survival rate is affected not only by the health of the seedlings in the nursery, but also by water loss and temperature. After being exposed to the soil, the roots of the seedlings are easily dehydrated, resulting in a low survival rate. During the transportation of seedlings, a large number of seedlings are piled up, and the seedlings generate heat due to their own respiration during long-term transportation, which affects the survival rate.

[0003] In existing fruit seedling transport devices, optimization often focuses on changing the handling method. For example, Chinese patent document CN207225418U discloses a fruit seedling cultivation transport device, including several adjusting devices and several carrying devices. The adjusting devices are fixedly connected to the carrying devices through a shell. The carrying devices include a surrounding baffle and a base located below the baffle. The baffle is connected to both sides of the base via slide rails. The adjusting devices include an active component, a driven component, and a passive component. The active component has a first stop bar and a second stop bar. The passive component is slidably connected to a fixed seat, and the fixed seat is fixedly connected to the baffle. The passive component has a stop block. The driven component is bent and has a platform at one end, which matches the stop block. The driven component is connected to the fixed seat through a rotating shaft, and a torsion spring is installed between the driven component and the fixed seat. The fixed seat has a stop pin. This utility model can transport culture bottles for cultivating fruit seedlings, while facilitating the handling and placement of the culture bottles, thus improving work efficiency.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned fruit seedling cultivation and transportation device has certain advantages in terms of the way it is picked up, it still has shortcomings:

[0005] The aforementioned carrying device cannot replenish water to the seedlings in a timely manner during transportation, which can easily lead to severe water loss in the seedlings during transportation. In addition, the aforementioned carrying device can be assembled from various parts. Due to the airtight structure of the carrying device, biological heat may accumulate in the seedlings during transportation, affecting the survival rate of the seedlings and increasing transportation costs and risks.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a water inlet is also provided on the top of the box, which is used to input the replenishing liquid into the replenishing device.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the water inlet is connected to the water inlet pipe. The connection between the water inlet pipe and the water inlet allows external water to be introduced into the water replenishment device, ensuring sufficient water supply.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a fruit seedling transportation device, which has the following beneficial effects:

Users can control the water volume by adjusting the valve to prevent root rot caused by overwatering. Furthermore, the ventilation holes in the box maintain air circulation, preventing temperature increases due to biological heat, further ensuring the survival rate of the seedlings during transport and effectively protecting their survival status.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model: the top of the box 1 is also provided with a water inlet 16, which is used to input the replenishing liquid into the replenishing device.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model: the water inlet 16 is connected to the water inlet pipe 31. Through the connection between the water inlet pipe 31 and the water inlet 16, external water can be introduced into the water replenishment device 3 to ensure sufficient water replenishment.

[0033] The working principle is as follows:

[0034] When using the device, the user first places the seedlings into the placement slots 22 on the placement plate 21. Then, by cooperating with the support rod 15 and the placement hole 14, the support rod 15 is inserted into the placement hole 14, so that multiple sets of boxes 1 are locked together. At this time, water is introduced into the water inlet pipe 31 through the water inlet 16. The control valve 35 is opened, so that the water flows through the first connecting pipe 32, through the first connecting pipe 32 to the second connecting pipe 34, and then through the second connecting pipe 34 and the control valve 35 to the third connecting pipe 36. The water mist is then formed by the spray device. The water mist reaches the bottom of the placement plate 21 through the permeable plate 23 and comes into contact with the roots of the seedlings, replenishing the roots of the seedlings. Excess water is discharged through the guide hole 13 at the bottom of the outer box 1. In addition, if the user needs to reduce the amount of water replenished to the roots of the seedlings, the control valve 35 can be closed to control the amount of water.

[0036] In this invention, a water replenishment device 3 is installed at the bottom of the placement plate 21 and the permeable plate 23 inside the box 1. Utilizing the cooperation between the water inlet pipe 31 and the water inlet 16, and through the cooperation between the first connecting pipe 32, the second connecting pipe 34, the third connecting pipe 36 and the spray pipe, water is replenished to the roots of the seedlings during transportation. This prevents the seedlings from experiencing reduced survival rate due to root dehydration after emergence. At the same time, the user can control the water volume by controlling the valve to prevent root rot caused by excessive watering. Meanwhile, the ventilation holes 11 of the box 1 maintain air circulation inside the box 1, preventing the temperature inside the box 1 from rising due to biological heat, further ensuring the survival rate of the seedlings during transportation and effectively protecting their survival status.
