Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of crop seedling technology, and in particular relates to a crop seedling cultivation box. Background Technology
[0002] Agricultural technicians use seedling cultivation devices to grow experimental crops during crop seedling experiments. Existing seedling cultivation devices are primarily designed for large-scale seedling production (such as stacked seedling trays), possessing only basic cultivation functions and unsuitable for research-oriented experiments. Therefore, cultivation devices used in crop seedling experiments, in addition to basic cultivation functions, need to facilitate researchers' real-time observation of sample growth and the handling of crop samples. Furthermore, during crop cultivation experiments, visits from researchers and observers are common; therefore, the ability to conveniently and comprehensively display the cultivated experimental samples for their reference is also a necessary function. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a crop seedling cultivation box that is easy to pick up and put down samples and observe the seedling cultivation situation, and can conveniently display the cultivation samples from all directions, suitable for use in crop seedling cultivation experiments.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] A crop seedling cultivation box includes:
[0006] The box body is cylindrical with transparent side walls and a transparent door on the front.
[0007] Support base, the support base being fixed to the bottom plate of the housing;
[0008] A rotating support, comprising a rotating base rotatably mounted on the support, a support column fixed to the rotating base, and multiple support trays evenly spaced along the vertical direction of the support column; the support trays are provided with multiple seedling cup insertion cavities along the circumference.
[0009] Seedling cups, there are multiple seedling cups, each inserted into the cavity of the seedling cup, and the bottom of the seedling cup is provided with a drainage hole;
[0010] A watering assembly for watering the seedling cups;
[0011] A seepage collection assembly for collecting liquid leaking from the seedling cup.
[0012] The side of the chamber is transparent, allowing researchers to see inside without opening the door. The rotating supports are mounted on a base, with each seedling cup sequentially mounted on the support. The rotating supports allow each cup to be rotated to the side of the chamber door, making it easy for researchers to access and store any cup. This rotating design also allows technicians to easily view the cultivated crop samples from all angles during laboratory visits, facilitating exchange and learning.
[0013] Furthermore, the enclosure includes a bottom plate, an annular transparent side plate mounted on the bottom plate, and a top cover plate mounted on the top of the annular transparent side plate.
[0014] Furthermore, the upper end of the support column passes through the top cover plate, and the support column and the top cover plate are connected by a rotary bearing; a rotating handle is provided at the top of the support column.
[0015] Turning the rotary handle will rotate the support column, eliminating the need to open the cabinet door and then directly rotate the support column to achieve 360° rotation.
[0016] Furthermore, the edge of the top cover plate is provided with a mounting rod, on which a light-blocking curtain with a ring structure that can cover the box body and can be rolled up is installed.
[0017] When the outside light is too strong or there are other situations where it is necessary to block the light, you can lower the blackout curtain to block the outside light.
[0018] Furthermore, the box is equipped with a seedling lamp and a temperature detector; the top of the box is equipped with a ventilation duct.
[0019] Furthermore, the top surface of the support base is provided with a circular mounting groove; the bottom of the rotating base is inserted into the mounting groove and is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove through a rotating bearing.
[0020] When an external force is applied to the rotating support, the rotating base rotates relative to the support.
[0021] Furthermore, the vertical cross-section of the rotating base is T-shaped, with the protruding bottom portion inserted into the mounting groove; the top surface of the support base is provided with a ring of universal balls along the outer side of the mounting groove; the bottom surface of the non-protruding portion of the rotating base is provided on the universal balls.
[0022] The presence of omnidirectional ball bearings makes the rotation of the rotating base smoother.
[0023] Furthermore, the tray includes an annular fixing sleeve and a disc body fixed to the outer wall of the fixing sleeve; the fixing sleeve is fixedly sleeved on the support column; the disc body has a hollow structure inside, and its top surface has a plurality of seedling cup insertion cavities communicating with the hollow structure along the circumferential direction; the lower end of the outer wall of the seedling cup is provided with a ring of overlapping plate, the seedling cup is suspended in the seedling cup insertion cavity, and the overlapping plate overlaps the top surface of the disc body.
[0024] The bottom of the seedling cup is inserted into the seedling cup cavity, and the overlapping plate overlaps the top surface of the plate body at the edge of the corresponding seedling cup cavity, so that the bottom of the seedling cup is suspended in the cavity of the plate body; the seepage from the seedling cup drips into the cavity of the plate body.
[0025] Furthermore, the seepage collection assembly includes a guide pipe, a collection pipe, a collection trough, and a drain pipe; there are multiple guide pipes, each corresponding to one of the disc bodies; one end of each guide pipe communicates with the cavity of the disc body, and the other end is connected to the collection pipe; the support column has a hollow structure, and the collection pipe is vertically installed inside the support column cavity, with its lower end extending through the side wall of the support column; the collection trough is an annular groove, along the outside of the rotating support, and fixed to the support base; the lower end of the collection pipe is suspended above the collection trough; the outlet end of the side wall of the collection trough is connected to the drain pipe via a quick-connect fitting, and the drain pipe passes through the side wall of the housing and connects to an external drainage mechanism.
[0026] The seepage collection component is used to collect the seepage from the seedling cups and lead the seepage out of the box. The seepage that drips into the cavity of the tray is introduced into the collection pipe through the liquid guide pipe, and then flows into the collection tank below through the collection pipe, and finally discharged to the external drainage mechanism through the drain pipe.
[0027] Furthermore, the irrigation assembly includes a supply pipe, a delivery pipe, a supply branch pipe, and a distribution pipe; the support column has a hollow structure, the supply pipe is vertically installed in the cavity of the support column, the bottom of the supply pipe passes through the center of the rotating base and the center of the support seat, and is connected to the delivery pipe through a rotary joint, the delivery pipe passes through the side wall of the box and is connected to an external supply mechanism; there are multiple distribution pipes, each corresponding to one above each tray, and each distribution pipe is equipped with multiple irrigation nozzles corresponding to one of the seedling cups, the irrigation nozzles are suspended above the seedling cups; there are multiple supply branch pipes, each corresponding to one of the distribution pipes, one end of each supply branch pipe passes through the support column and is connected to the supply pipe, and the other end is connected to the corresponding distribution pipe.
[0028] The irrigation assembly is used to water or supply other liquid preparations to each seedling cup; the liquid supply pipe delivers the liquid provided by the external liquid supply mechanism into the supply pipe, then distributes it to each supply branch pipe, flows into the distribution pipe, and finally, the irrigation nozzles set on the distribution pipes irrigate the corresponding seedling cups; since the supply pipe and the delivery pipe are connected by a rotary joint, it does not affect the rotation of the supply pipe as it rotates with the rotating support.
[0029] Compared with existing technologies, the crop seedling cultivation box of this utility model has the following advantages:
[0030] (1) The crop seedling cultivation box described in this utility model adopts a box with a completely transparent side wall and a seedling cup with a rotatable upper and lower multi-layer ring structure. While making it easy to take out and put away the seedling cup and observe the seedling situation, it can also display the cultivation sample in all directions in 360° for visitors to see and facilitate communication and learning.
[0031] (2) The crop seedling cultivation box described in this utility model has a reasonable structural design. By setting a rotating handle on the top of the support column, it can be rotated 360° without opening the box door, which is convenient for observing and displaying the situation inside the box. The tray with a cavity is used to support the seedling cups, which can not only serve as a support but also collect the seepage liquid. The seepage liquid is finally led out of the box by the seepage collection component. The irrigation component can realize the irrigation of each seedling cup one by one, which improves the watering efficiency and reduces the workload. Attached Figure Description
