Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedbed structure technology, and in particular to a raised seedbed for strawberry greenhouses. Background Technology

[0002] A greenhouse, also known as a hothouse, is a building structure that allows light to pass through while maintaining (or heating) the soil. It is primarily used for cultivating plants in seasons or environments unsuitable for outdoor growth. By creating a relatively stable environment, greenhouses help plants grow normally during non-growing seasons or under special conditions, thereby increasing yield and quality.

[0003] For strawberry cultivation, due to its shallow root system (mainly distributed within the top 20 cm of soil) and numerous leaves resulting in high transpiration rates, strawberries require consistently moist soil and have a high water demand. This necessitates frequent checks of the soil moisture in the seedbed and regular watering, a cumbersome process. Overwatering can easily lead to short-term soil drying, negatively impacting the growth and survival rate of the strawberries. Therefore, a raised seedbed system in a strawberry greenhouse is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A raised seedbed for a strawberry greenhouse includes a seedbed hopper. One side of the bottom of the seedbed hopper is movably mounted on the surface of a lifting assembly. The lifting assembly includes a base, and a first inner shaft is inserted into the top of the base via a slot. The top of the first inner shaft is movably connected to the seedbed hopper. Vertical plates are mounted on both the left and right sides of the seedbed hopper. Each vertical plate includes a water tank, and a top cover is fitted over the water tank. A drainage component is installed inside the water tank, and the drainage component includes a drainage rope that passes through and is inserted into the inside of the seedbed hopper. The left side of the drainage rope is inserted into a counterweight block, which is built into the water tank. A fixing bolt is inserted into the side of the counterweight block via a threaded hole.

[0007] Preferably, the water tank is provided with two hook plates at the top of the inner side, and the hook plates are hooked to the top side of the seedbed bucket. By hooking the hook plates to the left and right sides of the top of the seedbed bucket, it is convenient for staff to hang and set up the water tank.

[0008] Preferably, a handle is connected to the outside of the water tank, and multiple flexible sleeves are equidistantly connected to the bottom of the inside of the water tank. The flexible sleeves are fitted onto the surface of the drainage rope and inserted into the seedbed hopper. The handle design on the outside of the water tank allows workers to easily hold the handle to lift and disassemble the water tank.

[0009] Preferably, a plate frame is connected to the outside of the first inner shaft, and a second inner shaft is connected to both the upper and lower ends of the left side of the plate frame. The second inner shaft is inserted into the top of the other two shaft cylinders through a slot, and the top of the second inner shaft is inserted into the bottom side of the seedbed bucket through a groove. The slots of the shaft cylinders can guide the first inner shaft and the second inner shaft, ensuring the stability of the up and down movement of the first inner shaft and the second inner shaft.

[0010] Preferably, a locking bolt is inserted through a threaded hole at the bottom edge of the seedbed bucket near the position of the second inner insert shaft, and the shaft end of the locking bolt penetrates the interior of the second inner insert shaft. After the locking bolt moves in the threaded hole of the seedbed bucket, it penetrates and is inserted into the interior of the second inner insert shaft, ensuring the stable connection between the second inner insert shaft and the seedbed bucket.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the seedbed hopper has multiple drainage holes at equal intervals, and the bottom side of the seedbed hopper is connected to a skirt plate. The drainage hole design of the seedbed hopper can prevent water from accumulating in the seedbed hopper, causing the soil in the seedbed hopper to be waterlogged, which would affect the survival rate of strawberry cultivation in the soil.

[0012] Preferably, the cross-section of the frame is I-shaped, and a threaded shaft is inserted through a threaded hole at the center of the frame. The bottom end of the threaded shaft is rotatably connected to the base. The bottom end of the threaded shaft is provided with a polygonal block end. The threaded shaft is rotatably installed on the surface of the horizontal plate end of the base. The position of the frame can be adjusted by rotating the threaded shaft, so that the frame pushes the first inner shaft and the second inner shaft to push the seedbed bucket.

[0013] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. By setting up a vertical plate, continuous soil humidification is achieved. Compared with the traditional structure, this device places the cultivation soil inside the seedbed hopper, inserts the drainage rope inside the counterweight, and the counterweight is deposited at the bottom of the water tank. The drainage rope is inserted into the soil of the seedbed hopper after passing through the hose sleeve. The culture solution mixed with water is guided to the soil of the seedbed hopper through the drainage rope, thereby ensuring the continuous moisture of the soil and avoiding the soil from drying out in a short period of time, which would affect the growth of strawberries.

[0015] 2. By setting up a water tank and a hook plate, the water tank can be easily mounted. This device is hung on the top side of the seedbed bucket via the hook plate, so that the water tank is close to the side of the seedbed bucket. At this time, the flexible hose is inserted into the through grooves on both sides of the bottom of the seedbed bucket. The flexible hose restrains the drainage components. The water tank can be freely disassembled and assembled, which is convenient for workers to clean moss and other foreign objects in the water tank. The seedbed bucket is movably connected to the first inner shaft, which makes it easy to turn the seedbed bucket over so that the soil faces the side, and to clean or loosen the soil in the seedbed bucket.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-4A raised seedbed for a strawberry greenhouse includes a seedbed hopper 1. The bottom side of the seedbed hopper 1 is movably mounted on the surface of a lifting assembly 2. The lifting assembly 2 includes a base 21. The top of the base 21 is fitted with a first inner shaft 23 through a slot, and the top of the first inner shaft 23 is movably connected to the seedbed hopper 1. Vertical plates 3 are mounted on both the left and right sides of the seedbed hopper 1. The vertical plates 3 include a water tank 31. The top of the water tank 31 is covered with a top cover 33. A drainage component 36 is installed inside the water tank 31. The drainage component 36 includes a drainage rope 362, which is inserted through the seedbed hopper 1. The drainage rope 362 is inserted into a counterweight 361 on the left side. The counterweight 361 is built into the water tank 31. A fixing bolt 363 is inserted into the side of the counterweight 361 through a threaded hole.

[0024] Two hook plates 32 are provided on the top inner side of the water tank 31, and the hook plates 32 are hooked to the top side of the seedbed hopper 1.

[0025] A handle 34 is connected to the outside of the water tank 31, and multiple hose sleeves 35 are connected at equal intervals to the bottom of the inner side of the water tank 31. The hose sleeves 35 are fitted onto the surface of the drainage rope 362 and inserted into the seedbed hopper 1.

[0026] The outer side of the first inner shaft 23 is connected to the plate frame 24. The upper and lower ends of the left side of the plate frame 24 are connected to the second inner shaft 25. The second inner shaft 25 is inserted into the top of the other two shaft cylinders 22 through the slot. The top of the second inner shaft 25 is inserted into the bottom side of the seedbed hopper 1 through the groove.

[0027] A locking bolt 27 is inserted through a threaded hole at the bottom edge of the seedbed hopper 1 near the position of the second inner insertion shaft 25, and the shaft end of the locking bolt 27 passes through the interior of the second inner insertion shaft 25.

[0028] Multiple drainage holes are equidistantly provided at the bottom of the seedbed hopper 1, and a skirt plate 4 is connected to the side of the bottom of the seedbed hopper 1.

[0029] The plate frame 24 has an I-shaped cross-section. A threaded shaft 26 is inserted through a threaded hole at the center of the plate frame 24. The bottom end of the threaded shaft 26 is rotatably connected to the base 21. A polygonal block end is provided at the bottom end of the threaded shaft 26.

[0030] The hook plate 32 is attached to the top left and right sides of the seedbed bucket 1, which makes it convenient for staff to hang and set up the water tank 31 and to fill it with water. The handle 34 on the outside of the water tank 31 makes it easy for staff to hold and lift the water tank 31 for easy disassembly and assembly, ensuring the cleanliness of the water tank 31. The slot of the shaft cylinder 22 can guide the first inner shaft 23 and the second inner shaft 25 to ensure the stability of the vertical movement of the first inner shaft 23 and the second inner shaft 25. When the seedbed bucket 1 is rotated and parallel to the base 21, the second inner shaft 25 can be inserted into the groove of the seedbed bucket 1 to ensure the stability of the seedbed bucket 1.

[0031] When the top of the second inner shaft 25 is inserted into the groove at the bottom of the seedbed hopper 1, the locking bolt 27 can be moved through the threaded hole in the seedbed hopper 1 and then inserted through the second inner shaft 25 to ensure the stable connection between the second inner shaft 25 and the seedbed hopper 1, preventing the seedbed hopper 1 from rotating or tipping over. The drainage hole design of the seedbed hopper 1 prevents water from accumulating inside, causing waterlogging of the soil and affecting the survival rate of strawberry cultivation. The skirt tray 4 allows for the dispensing of nutrient solution. The supplementary operation allows the nutrient solution to penetrate into the soil through the through grooves on both sides of the seedbed hopper 1. The I-shaped structure of the frame 24 allows it to move smoothly on the surfaces of the first inner shaft 23 and the second inner shaft 25. The base 21 has a H-shaped structure design, and a threaded shaft 26 is rotatably installed on the H-shaped horizontal plate end surface of the base 21. The position of the frame 24 can be adjusted by rotating the threaded shaft 26, so that the frame 24 pushes the first inner shaft 23 and the second inner shaft 25 to push the seedbed hopper 1.

[0032] Working principle: According to the appendix Figure 2 With appendix Figure 3 As shown, during use, the height of the seedbed hopper 1 can be changed according to the usage requirements. During the change, the threaded shaft 26 is rotated by a wrench or other equipment, and the plate frame 24 is moved on the surface of the threaded shaft 26. The movement of the plate frame 24 can drive the first inner insertion shaft 23 and the second inner insertion shaft 25 to move upward, thereby pushing the seedbed hopper 1. After the soil is refilled in the seedbed hopper 1, the seedbed hopper 1 can be rotated so that the seedbed hopper 1 is placed on the surface of the second inner insertion shaft 25. At the same time, the shaft end of the locking bolt 27 moves and penetrates into the inside of the second inner insertion shaft 25 to ensure the stability of the seedbed hopper 1 installation.

[0033] Secondly, according to the appendix Figure 3 With appendix Figure 4As shown, the hook plate 32 is hung on the top side of the seedbed hopper 1. Water is poured into the water tank 31, and the hose sleeve 35 is inserted into the seedbed hopper 1. At this time, the drainage rope 362 can be installed inside the hose sleeve 35, so that one end of the drainage rope 362 is buried in the soil of the seedbed hopper 1, and the other end of the drainage rope 362 is inserted into the counterweight block 361 and fixed by the fixing bolt 363. The counterweight block 361 is deposited inside the water tank 31, so that the left side of the drainage rope 362 always remains sunken.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
