Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a seedling tray, and more particularly to an agricultural rice seedling tray. Background Technology
[0002] Seedling trays are an indispensable component of rice transplanters, their main function being the cultivation of rice seedlings. Made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) through a special injection molding process, seedling trays are lightweight, easy to transport, convenient to store, and have low operating costs. Different transplanters are equipped with different sizes of seedling trays, typically categorized as rigid or flexible.
[0003] Most existing seedling trays are ordinary shallow trays. The number of trays needed per acre varies depending on the size of the trays. Most rice production requires a large number of seedling trays. When laying the trays, there are large gaps, which means that some seeds are not thrown into the trays when rice is sown, resulting in some losses. In addition, when transporting the seedling trays after they have been raised, they need to be placed on supports. Since the growth rate of seedlings may be different, the required height interval between different seedling trays is also different. Generally, the layered interval height between supports is fixed, which occupies a lot of space. Furthermore, the seedling trays are generally not fixedly connected to the supports, which makes the seedling trays easy to slide and cause danger.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an agricultural rice seedling tray with a snap-fit function. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing seedling trays, such as large gaps during installation, large space occupation after seedling transportation, and inability to be connected to the support frame, this utility model provides an agricultural rice seedling tray.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an agricultural rice seedling tray, including a tray rim, a seedling tray surface, a partition net, pins, springs, and guide rods. The seedling tray surface is equipped with a tray rim around its perimeter, a partition net is provided on the seedling tray surface, and several through holes are opened on the seedling tray surface. A first fixing groove is opened at each of the four corners of the tray rim, and an installation groove is opened on both sides of the tray rim. Pins are symmetrically and slidably installed in the installation grooves, and guide rods are slidably connected between the opposing pins. Springs are sleeved on the guide rods.
[0007] Preferably, it also includes a first handle, and each latch is provided with a first handle.
[0008] Preferably, it also includes a locking block, with a locking block symmetrically arranged on one side of the disc edge and a locking slot symmetrically opened on the other side, the locking block and the locking slot engaging.
[0009] Preferably, it also includes a second handle, which is symmetrically arranged on the edge of the disc, and a second fixing groove is provided at the bottom of the edge of the disc relative to the position of the second handle, and the second handle is engaged with the second fixing groove.
[0010] Preferably, it also includes a bracket, and the edge of the disc is movably connected to the bracket through the first fixing groove.
[0011] Preferably, the bracket is provided with a plurality of adjustment holes.
[0012] Beneficial effects: This utility model, by setting up locking blocks and slots, ensures that the front and rear seedling trays fit tightly together, avoiding waste of rice seeds. It also features movable pins that can be locked into adjustment holes of different heights on the support, so that the seedling trays are fixed and locked during transportation after seedling cultivation, reducing space waste and achieving the effect of locking function.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example 1
[0019] An agricultural rice seedling tray, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it includes a rim 1, a seedling tray surface 2, a partition net 3, pins 5, a spring 7, and a guide rod 8. The rim 1 is installed on the seedling tray surface 2. The rim 1 is a square ring and is set around the seedling tray surface 2. The partition net 3 is set on the seedling tray surface 2 to divide the seedling tray surface 2. A large number of through holes 4 are regularly opened on the seedling tray surface 2 to facilitate the drainage of excess water in the tray and prevent water accumulation. Four first fixing grooves 10 are opened on the rim 1, and the first fixing grooves 10 are located at the four corners. Installation grooves 9 are opened on both sides of the rim 1. The installation grooves 9 are used for installation. Pins 5 are symmetrically and slidably installed in the installation grooves 9. One end of the pin 5 is wedge-shaped to facilitate insertion and locking. The guide rod 8 is slidably connected between two opposite pins 5. The guide rod 8 is used for guidance. A spring 7 is sleeved on the guide rod 8 and is used for reset.
[0020] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a support 15. The edge of the tray 1 is movably connected to the support 15 through the first fixing groove 10. The support 15 serves as a place to hold multiple seedling trays. The support 15 is provided with a large number of adjustment holes 16. By engaging the pin 5 into the adjustment holes 16 at different heights on the support 15, the space utilization rate of the seedling trays during transportation is improved.
[0021] When the seedling tray needs to be transported after the seedling raising is completed, the seedling tray is slidably installed on the bracket 15 through the first fixing groove 10. The two side pins 5 are moved towards the middle along the guide rod 8 to move the seedling tray to the required height. The spring 7 causes the two end pins 5 to reset and engage in the adjustment hole 16 of the bracket 15, so that the seedling tray is fixed on the bracket 15. Example 2
[0022] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a first handle 6, and the first handle 6 is provided at one end of the pin 5, so that the pin 5 can be slid through the first handle 6.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a locking block 11 and a second handle 13. Two locking blocks 11 are provided on the rear side of the rim 1, and two locking slots 12 are provided on the front side. The seedling trays are laid by locking the locking blocks 11 on the front seedling trays with the locking slots 12 on the next seedling trays, so that the seedling trays are closely attached to each other, preventing some seeds from being thrown into the gaps and wasting them when scattering seeds. Two second handles 13 are provided on the rim 1. A second fixing groove 14 is provided at the bottom of the rim 1 relative to the position of the second handle 13. When the seedling trays are stacked, the second fixing groove 14 on the upper seedling tray is locked with the second handle 13 on the lower seedling tray, so that the seedling trays are locked together and are not prone to collapse and accidents.
[0024] When raising rice seedlings, unused seedling trays are connected to the second handle 13 on the next seedling tray via the second fixing groove 14 on the previous seedling tray, making it less likely for the seedling trays to collapse when stacked. The seedling trays are then manually separated and laid out by connecting the locking block 11 on the previous seedling tray with the locking groove 12 on the next seedling tray, ensuring that the seedling trays are tightly attached to each other.
[0025] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, improvements, and substitutions without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
