[0002] Sweet flag (Acorus calamus) is a common perennial herb that thrives in moist environments. It boasts beautiful flowers and unique leaves. The rhizome of sweet flag is an aromatic and stimulating herb, pungent and warm in nature, possessing the functions of clearing phlegm, refreshing the mind, regulating qi and blood circulation, dispelling wind and dampness, and harmonizing the stomach and spleen. Also known as nine-jointed sweet flag, sweet flag has high medicinal value; its main component is volatile oil, which is used not only medicinally but also as a spice.
[0003] In existing technologies, to facilitate large-scale cultivation of Acorus calamus, seedlings are often raised before transplanting. However, the seedling raising process consumes a large amount of water. For example, the utility model with publication number CN216358109U discloses a three-dimensional Acorus calamus cultivation rack, which relates to the field of Acorus calamus cultivation rack technology. It includes several cultivation boxes, several support mechanisms, and a moving mechanism.

One side wall of the cultivation box is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting beam. The support mechanism includes two supporting beams. The bottom end of the column is fixedly provided with a tray. The side wall of the tray is provided with rollers that slide and engage with the slide groove. This technical solution is set on the connecting beam of the moving mechanism according to the placement needs of the cultivation box. The number of moving mechanisms is set according to the needs, and two adjacent moving mechanisms are put together to reduce the space ratio. However, it has the problems of not being able to recycle water, not being convenient to quickly pick up and put down the seedling tray, and having a low survival rate of transplanted sweet flag seedlings.
[0004] Based on this, the applicant proposes a seedling cultivation device for sweet flag that coexists with fish. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of existing Acorus calamus seedling cultivation devices, such as the inability to recycle water, difficulty in quickly removing and placing seedling trays, and low survival rate of transplanted Acorus calamus seedlings. The invention provides a Acorus calamus seedling cultivation device with a reasonable structural design, water recycling capability, symbiosis with fish, easy and quick removal and placement of seedling trays, and high survival rate of transplanted Acorus calamus seedlings, which is symbiotic with fish.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows:
[0007] A symbiotic fish-based seedling cultivation device for *Acorus gramineus* includes a water tank and a germination tray. A germination box is located on the top of the water tank, and a water conveyance structure is installed on the side wall of the tank, connecting the water conveyance structure to the germination box. Fish can be raised in the water tank, and their excrement mixes with the water. The water conveyance structure extracts water and fish excrement from the water tank and transports them to the germination tray, providing nutrients for the growth of *Acorus gramineus* seedlings. Excess water flows back into the water tank, achieving water recycling. Water purified by the germination tray flows back into the water tank, preventing water quality deterioration in the tank and thus avoiding fish diseases, enriching the ecosystem. The seedling raising device includes a control cabinet on top of the germination box, a horizontally oriented fixed base inside the germination box, a sealed door on the side wall of the germination box, and a lighting structure connected to the control cabinet inside the germination box. The control cabinet allows staff to easily control the water supply and lighting structures, providing water, light, and other conditions for the seedling raising of *Acorus gramineus*, promoting balanced growth of the seedlings. The germination tray is movably mounted on the fixed base, allowing staff to quickly retrieve and place the germination tray and remove the *Acorus gramineus* seedlings, thus improving the seedling raising efficiency.
[0008] Preferably, a filter layer is provided on the side of the water tank near the water conveying structure. The filter layer can prevent the farmed fish in the water tank from entering the water conveying structure with the water flow, thereby improving the safety of the fish.
[0009] Preferably, the water supply structure includes a water pump and a spray pipe. The water pump is installed on the outer wall of the water tank, and a water intake pipe and a water delivery pipe are installed on the water pump. The water intake pipe is connected to the water tank. One end of the spray pipe extends out from the side wall of the germination box and is connected to the water delivery pipe. A nozzle is installed on the spray pipe inside the germination box. The water pump draws water and fish excrement from the water tank and delivers it through the water delivery pipe to the spray pipe. The water is then sprayed onto the germination tray to provide nutrients for the growth of the Acorus calamus seedlings in the germination tray. Excess water flows back into the water tank, realizing water recycling. The water purified by the germination tray flows back into the water tank, preventing the water quality in the water tank from deteriorating and causing fish to get sick, thus enriching the function of the seedling raising device.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the fixed base inside the germination box and the bottom of the control cabinet are provided with fixing blocks, and the water spray pipe passes through the fixing blocks. The sealing door on the germination box is made of glass material and a handle is provided on the sealing door. The fixing blocks can improve the stability of the water spray pipe inside the germination box, thereby improving the stability of the nozzle during the water spraying process. The sealing door is made of glass material, which makes it easy for staff to observe the seedling device of Acorus calamus, adjust the seedling conditions of Acorus calamus in a timely manner, and promote the seedling quality of Acorus calamus.
[0011] Preferably, a control panel is installed on the outer wall of the control cabinet, and a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor connected to the control cabinet are installed at the bottom of the control cabinet. The temperature and humidity inside the germination box are displayed in real time on the control panel through the temperature sensor and humidity sensor, so that the staff can adjust the temperature and humidity inside the germination box to provide suitable conditions for the seedling cultivation of Acorus calamus.
[0012] Preferably, the support groove provided in the fixed base has an inclined bottom structure. A drainage groove is provided on the fixed base on the lower side of the support groove bottom. The drainage grooves on the upper and lower adjacent fixed bases are connected by a drainage pipe. The bottom end of the drainage pipe on the lowest fixed base extends into the water tank. The water sprayed into the germination tray by the nozzle is filtered by the soil of the sweet flag seedling cultivation. The excess water in the germination tray flows into the support groove. The support groove with the inclined bottom structure guides the water into the drainage groove. The water in the drainage groove flows into the drainage groove in the adjacent fixed base below through the drainage pipe. Finally, it flows back into the water tank through the drainage pipe, so that the water can be recycled.
[0013] Preferably, a support platform is provided on the fixed seat on one side of the support groove and the fixed seat above the drainage groove. A fixed groove is provided on the support platform, and an auxiliary wheel is provided in the fixed groove through a pin. Placement plates are provided on the outer walls on both sides of the germination tray, and the placement plates are movably placed on the auxiliary wheels. The placement plates slide on the auxiliary wheels, which can reduce the resistance encountered by the placement plates during the movement of the support platform, improve the efficiency of placing the germination box into the support groove and taking the germination box out of the support groove, and improve the seedling efficiency of Acorus calamus.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom side wall of the placement tray has drainage holes, the germination tray has a horizontally structured fixing plate, and a planting cylinder is movably mounted on the fixing plate. The nozzle sprays water into the germination tray, and the water flows into the planting cylinder to provide moisture for the growth of the sweet flag seedlings in the planting cylinder. Excess water in the planting cylinder flows into the bottom of the placement tray. When there is a lot of water in the placement tray, the water is discharged from the drainage holes to prevent the sweet flag roots in the planting cylinder from rotting due to the water in the placement tray, thereby improving the survival rate and seedling quality of the sweet flag seedlings.
[0015] Preferably, the planting tube is designed to be removable from the fixing plate, and has a drainage hole at the bottom. The planting tube is threaded onto the fixing plate, facilitating its installation or removal. The drainage hole allows water to enter and exit the planting tube. Water sprayed from the nozzle flows into the planting tube, and excess water in the planting tube flows through the drainage hole to the top of the placement tray. When the soil moisture content in the planting tube is low, water from the placement tray flows through the drainage hole into the planting tube, providing moisture for the growth of the *Acorus calamus* seedlings and promoting their rapid growth. To improve the survival rate of transplanted *Acorus calamus* seedlings after seedling cultivation, the planting tube can be made of biodegradable material. This facilitates the transplanting of *Acorus calamus* seedlings, and the biodegradable planting tube can also provide nutrients for the growth of the seedlings, improving their survival rate after transplanting.
[0016] Preferably, the lighting structure includes a lamp holder and a lighting tube. The lamp holder is respectively installed at the bottom of the control cabinet and the bottom of the fixed base, and is connected to the control cabinet. Both ends of the lighting tube are installed on the lamp holder. The lighting tube can be activated through the control panel to provide light conditions for the seedlings of Acorus calamus. In order to provide heat for the growth of the seedlings, the lighting tube can also be a heating tube, which can provide heat while providing light to the seedlings, promoting the balanced growth of the seedlings.
[0017] Beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. The water pump extracts water and fish waste from the water tank and delivers it through the water pipe to the spray pipe. The water is then sprayed onto the germination tray to provide nutrients for the growth of the sweet flag seedlings. Excess water flows back into the water tank, realizing water recycling. The water purified by the germination tray flows back into the water tank, preventing the water quality in the water tank from deteriorating and causing fish to get sick. This enriches the function of the seedling raising device.
[0019] 2. The support groove is set in the fixed seat, and the bottom of the support groove is set as an inclined structure. A drainage groove is set on the fixed seat on the lower side of the support groove bottom. The drainage grooves on the upper and lower adjacent fixed seats are connected by a drainage pipe. The bottom end of the drainage pipe on the lowest fixed seat extends into the water tank. The water sprayed into the germination tray by the nozzle is filtered by the soil of the sweet flag seedling. The excess water in the germination tray flows into the support groove. The support groove with the inclined structure at the bottom guides the water into the drainage groove. The water in the drainage groove flows into the drainage groove in the adjacent fixed seat below through the drainage pipe. Finally, it flows back into the water tank through the drainage pipe, so that the water can be recycled.
[0020] 3. The planting tube is threaded onto the fixing plate, making it easy to install or remove. Water can easily enter and exit the planting tube through the drainage holes. Water sprayed from the nozzle flows into the planting tube, and excess water in the planting tube flows into the top of the placement tray through the drainage holes. When the soil moisture content in the planting tube is low, water in the placement tray flows into the planting tube through the drainage holes, providing moisture for the growth of the sweet flag seedlings and promoting their rapid growth.
