Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of strawberry cultivation technology, and more specifically, to a seedling cultivation tank. Background Technology
[0002] In strawberry seedling cultivation, wide-mouthed culture tanks with lids are mostly used to facilitate the removal of cultivated strawberry seedlings. However, due to the limited volume of the seedling tray, the opening of the culture tank cannot be too large, thus restricting its size. During the growth of strawberry seedlings, roots, stems, and leaves expand within the culture tank, gradually encroaching on the internal space. When the seedlings are removed after cultivation, because the stems and leaves have filled a large portion of the tank's internal space, even with wide-mouthed tanks, some seedlings inevitably suffer damage during removal. To minimize this damage, the removal rate is affected.
[0003] In addition, the lids used in existing wide-mouth bottles are mostly poorly transparent, resulting in poor light penetration for strawberry plants in the cultivation tank. Due to the strong light from the surrounding area, the plants grow outwards, further encroaching on the surrounding space. This also slows down the growth of the strawberry plants and makes them difficult to transplant later. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a seedling cultivation tank.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model relates to a seedling cultivation tank, comprising a tank body and a lid fixed to the top of the tank body. A supplementary light is installed on the top of the lid, penetrating the lid and extending into the interior of the lid. A transparent thread extending to the top of the tank body is fixed to the bottom of the lid. A support ring that mates with the inner cavity of the tank body is fixed to the bottom of the transparent thread. A support plate extending towards the center of the support ring is fixed to the top of the support ring. A seedling tray is fixed to one end of the support plate at the center of the support ring. A culture solution absorbent cotton strip is provided on the support plate. One end of the culture solution absorbent cotton strip extends to the bottom of the tank body, and the other end extends into the seedling tray.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the can lid is provided with an installation hole for cooperating with the supplementary light, the top of the can lid is provided with several ventilation holes, and the inner top of the can lid is fixed with an internal threaded sleeve connected to a transparent wire.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the transparent wire includes a flexible wire, one end of which is fixed with a threaded post that mates with an internal threaded sleeve, and the bottom end of which is fixed with a limiting seat that mates with a support ring.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a number of support blocks are fixed at the bottom of the support ring, and a U-shaped groove that cooperates with the limiting seat is opened on the outer circular surface of the support ring.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support plate is inclined toward the center of the support ring, and the inclination angle of the support ring is between 15° and 45°.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the support plate is provided with a first groove that cooperates with the culture medium absorbent cotton strip, and the seedling tray is provided with a second groove that cooperates with the culture medium absorbent cotton strip. The first groove and the second groove are connected, and a culture medium absorbent sheet that cooperates with the second groove is fixed at one end of the culture medium absorbent cotton strip located inside the second groove.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the supplementary light includes a shell that penetrates the can lid, an LED bead is installed inside the shell, and a light distribution plate is installed at the bottom of the shell.
[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] This invention connects a support ring with a seedling tray and support plate to the can lid using transparent threads. The strawberry seedlings to be cultivated are placed on the seedling tray, surrounded by several transparent threads. When the strawberry seedlings are taken out, the surrounding transparent threads act as a barrier, forming a sleeve that binds the stems and leaves of the strawberry seedlings inside, making it easier to pass through the mouth of the can and reducing damage to the strawberry seedlings when they are taken out.
[0015] This invention uses a supplemental light that penetrates the lid of the container to emit light from the top onto the strawberry plant. By utilizing the plant's phototropism, it increases the rate of upward growth, which helps the plant grow and increases the height of the strawberry plant before transplanting.

Example
[0030] Please see Figure 1-8 Structural diagram; the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0031] Specifically, it refers to a seedling cultivation tank, including a tank body 1 and a tank cover 2 fixed to the top of the tank body 1. A transparent silk thread 4 extending to the top of the tank body 1 is fixed inside the bottom of the tank cover 2. A support ring 5 that fits into the inner cavity of the tank body 1 is fixed to the bottom of the transparent silk thread. A support plate 6 extending towards the center of the support ring 5 is fixed to the top of the support ring 5. A seedling tray 7 is fixed to one end of the support plate 6 at the center of the support ring 5. The seedling tray 7 is circular, which facilitates the removal of seedlings and reduces damage to the root system. A culture solution absorbent cotton strip 8 is provided on the support plate 6. One end of the culture solution absorbent cotton strip 8 extends to the bottom of the tank body 1, and the other end extends into the seedling tray 7.
[0032] The top of the can lid 2 has several ventilation holes 9, and an internal threaded sleeve 10 connected to the transparent thread 4 is fixed inside the top of the can lid 2. The transparent thread 4 includes a flexible thread 401, one end of which is fixed with a threaded post 402 that mates with the internal threaded sleeve 10, and the bottom end of the flexible thread 401 is fixed with a limiting seat 403 that mates with the support ring 5. Several support blocks 501 are fixed at the bottom of the support ring 5, and a U-shaped groove 502 that mates with the limiting seat 403 is opened on the outer circumference of the support ring 5.
[0033] The support plate 6 is tilted towards the center of the support ring 5, and the tilt angle of the support ring 5 is between 15° and 45°, so that there is a certain height difference between the seedling tray 7 and the support ring 5, which facilitates the downward growth of the strawberry seedling roots.
[0034] The support plate 6 has a first groove 11 that mates with the culture medium absorbent cotton strip 8, and the seedling tray 7 has a second groove 12 that mates with the culture medium absorbent cotton strip 8. The first groove 11 and the second groove 12 are connected. One end of the culture medium absorbent cotton strip 8 located inside the second groove 12 is fixed with a culture medium absorbent sheet 13 that mates with the second groove 12. The culture medium absorbent cotton strip 8 and the culture medium absorbent sheet 13 are made of the same material and are integrally formed, which facilitates the transfer of the culture medium at the bottom of the tank 1 to the seedling tray 7.
[0035] The working principle of the seedling culture tank provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0036] Working principle: When in use, place the strawberry seedlings to be cultivated on the culture solution absorbent plate 13. The culture solution absorbent cotton strip 8 delivers the culture solution from the bottom of the tank 1 to the strawberry seedlings on the culture solution absorbent plate 13. When it is necessary to remove the cultivated seedlings, simply unscrew the tank lid 2. The support ring 5 is lifted out along with the transparent silk thread 4 connected to the tank lid 2. At the same time, lift the strawberry seedlings. After removing the strawberry seedlings from the tank 1, place the support ring 5 on the table (the support block 501 is in contact with the table, and the support ring 5 is at a certain distance from the table). Then, loosen the transparent silk thread 4 downwards to disengage the limiting seat 403 from the U-shaped slot 502. Then, remove the transparent silk thread 4 from around the strawberry seedlings to ensure the integrity of the strawberry seedlings after they are removed from the tank 1, reduce damage to the strawberry seedlings, and ensure the integrity of the strawberry seedlings. Example
[0037] Based on Specific Embodiment 1, the difference in this embodiment is as follows:
[0038] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 8, a supplementary light 3 is installed on the top of the can lid 2, penetrating the can lid 2 and extending into the interior of the can lid 2. The can lid 2 has mounting holes for the supplementary light 3. The supplementary light 3 includes a housing 301 penetrating the can lid 2, with LED beads 302 installed inside the housing 301. A light-diffusing plate 303 is installed at the bottom of the housing 301. The LED beads 302 in the supplementary light 3 emit light from the top, illuminating the strawberry plants. Utilizing the phototropism of plants, this increases the rate of upward growth, promoting plant growth and increasing the height of the strawberry plants before transplanting.
