[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydroponic technology, specifically a portable hydroponic seedling box. Background Technology

[0002] In the continuous development of agricultural seedling technology, traditional seedling methods have many limitations. In the past, seedling equipment was often fixed and simple in structure. When carrying out seedling operations, such as detailed inspection of seedlings, pruning of roots, and replacement of culture medium, the operating space was extremely limited and difficult to adjust flexibly. Operators often had to work in a small and inconvenient space, which not only greatly reduced work efficiency, but also made it easy to damage the fragile seedlings due to careless operation, affecting the success rate and quality of seedlings. At the same time, in terms of water management, traditional seedling equipment mostly relied on manual watering. This method is difficult to accurately control the amount of water and the uniformity of irrigation. It is easy to under-water, causing seedlings to suffer from water shortage and poor growth. Moreover, the efficiency of water resource utilization is low, and there is a lack of effective recycling and reuse mechanisms, resulting in a large waste of water resources.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a portable hydroponic seedling box. Utility Model Content

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of helping to understand this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on this utility model.

[0023] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0024] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 6 This utility model discloses a portable hydroponic seedling box, comprising a box body 1, which serves as an integral frame. The grooves 31 on both sides of the placement plate 3 ensure stable placement of the placement plate 3 above the water tank 2, facilitating smooth pulling and removal for convenient seedling cultivation. Support rods 32 on the surface connect sliders 34 and grooves 33 on both sides of the upper inner surface of the box body 1. During the pulling process, the sliders 34 slide smoothly within the grooves 33, guiding the movement of the placement plate 3 and providing solid and reliable support, effectively preventing the placement plate 3 from shaking or tilting. When the placement plate 3 is nearly fully pulled out, the grooves 33... The spring 35 in the groove of the protrusion automatically pushes the locking block 36 into the locking hole of the slider 34, firmly locking the position and avoiding the risk of falling. This greatly improves the safety and convenience of operation. The miniature water pump 4 in the water tank 2 is connected to the spray head 42 on the box 1 through the pipe 41. It can accurately deliver water to the area of ​​the placement plate 3 to replenish the seedlings. The drainage holes 43 of the placement plate 3 and the return ports around the top of the water tank 2 form a water circulation path. The filter screen of the return port can block impurities, ensure the stable operation of the system, realize the recycling of water resources, and create a good environment for the growth of seedlings.

[0025] In the first embodiment, the placement plate 3 is located in the clamping grooves 31 on both sides, the support rod 32 is located at the front end of the placement plate 3 and is connected to the lower surface of the upper slider 34, the spring 35 is located inside the groove and is pressed against the end of the locking block 36, the grooves are provided with limit grooves on both sides, the limit grooves are provided with limit blocks, and the limit blocks are installed on both sides of the locking block 36, the micro water pump 4 is located in the middle of the water tank 2, and the pipe 41 is connected to the outlet of the micro water pump 4 and the pipe 41 is connected to the upper spray head 42, and a filter screen is provided in the return port;

[0026] Specifically, the placement plate 3 is precisely embedded in the clamping grooves 31 on both sides, ensuring that the placement plate 3 is stably placed above the water tank 2. The support rod 32 at the front end is connected to the lower surface of the upper slider 34. When the placement plate 3 is pulled, the slider 34 moves smoothly along the sliding groove 33 on the upper surface of the box 1, providing stable guidance and reliable support for the placement plate 3. The spring 35 in the groove pushes against the end of the locking block 36, and together with the limiting grooves and limiting blocks on both sides, effectively controls the distance the placement plate 3 is pulled out and prevents accidental slippage. The miniature water pump 4 in the middle of the water tank 2 is connected to the spray head 42 through the pipe 41 to achieve precise water replenishment. The return port filter screen blocks impurities and ensures that the circulating water path is unobstructed, together creating a high-quality and stable environment for hydroponic seedling cultivation.

[0027] Example 2: A switch door 5 is installed on the front side of the box body 1. The switch door 5 can be opened downwards. Four sets of incubation boxes are evenly installed on the upper surface of the placement plate 3. A water inlet 6 is opened on one side of the box body 1. The water inlet 6 is connected to the water tank 2 inside the box body 1. A switch is installed on the upper side of the water inlet 6. A handle 7 is installed on the upper surface of the box body 1.

[0028] Specifically, the switch door 5 on the front of the box 1 can be opened downwards, making it convenient to view and operate the four sets of cultivation boxes on the placement plate 3 at any time, which is conducive to seedling management. The water inlet 6 and switch on one side make it easy to replenish water to the water tank 2 and maintain the water level. The handle 7 on the upper surface makes the whole thing easy to move. Whether it is moving the seedling position or storing it, it can provide great convenience for users.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] First, during seedling cultivation, water is injected into the water tank 2 through the water inlet 6 and switch on one side of the box 1. Once the water is inside the water tank 2, the miniature water pump 4 in the middle of the water tank 2 is activated, transporting the water from the outlet through the pipe 41 to the spray head 42 on the upper surface of the box 1. This precisely sprays the water onto the placement plate 3 area, providing water and irrigation to the seedlings in the four groups of cultivation boxes evenly installed on the upper surface of the placement plate 3. The placement plate 3 is embedded in the side grooves 31 for stability, and its front support rod 32 is connected to the upper slider 34. When the placement plate 3 needs to be pulled to operate the seedlings, the slider 34 slides along the groove on the upper surface of the box 1. The sliding mechanism 33 provides stable guidance and support. When the slide is nearly fully extended, the spring 35 in the groove of the slide 33 pushes the locking block 36 into the locking hole of the slider 34. With the cooperation of the limiting groove and the limiting block, the position is locked to prevent it from falling. After irrigation, excess water flows through the drainage hole 43 of the placement plate 3 to the top of the water tank 2, and then flows back to the water tank 2 through the return port with a filter screen around the top of the water tank 2. The filter screen blocks impurities to ensure smooth circulation of water and realize the recycling of water resources. The switch door 5 on the front of the box 1 can be opened downwards for easy viewing and operation of the cultivation box. The handle 7 facilitates the overall transportation and movement. At this point, the entire workflow is completed.
