[0021] Example
[0022] Please see Figures 1-3 The diagram shows an adjustable seedling rack for areca nut cultivation, including a support frame 100. An outer cover 110 is bolted to the top of the support frame 100. The outer cover 110 and the curtain 111 are made of commonly available thick transparent plastic film. Inside the outer cover 110, a wooden frame is bolted to the support frame 100 to support the structure of the outer cover 110. A horizontal column 130 is bolted to the side wall of the support frame 100, and a mounting rod 131 is bolted to the side wall of the horizontal column 130. A seedling component 140 is mounted on the top of the mounting rod 131. The seedling component 140 is made of commonly available hard plastic. Locking plates 141, made of stainless steel, are fixed to both ends of the seedling component 140 by bolts. Locking plates 141 have locking bolts 142 on their side walls that cooperate with the mounting rod 131. Multiple seedling troughs 150 are provided inside the seedling component 140. The seedling troughs 150 are made of hard plastic. Common seedling soil can be added to the seedling troughs 150 to cultivate areca seedlings. A breathable plate 151 is embedded in the side wall of the seedling trough 150. The breathable plate 151 has small air holes on its side wall. A limiting edge 152 is fixed to the side wall of the seedling trough 150 by bolts. The seedling trough 150 can slide inside the seedling component 140 by using the limiting edge 152.
[0023] Specifically, the support frame 100 has a mounting plate 120 fixed to its side wall by bolts. The mounting plate 120 has an air pump 121 installed on its side wall. The air pump 121 is a common model available on the market and is equipped with a common stainless steel square cover.
[0024] Furthermore, the input end of the air pump 121 is provided with a connecting pipe 122, and the input end of the connecting pipe 122 is provided with an air inlet 123, which is embedded in the side wall of the support frame 100.
[0025] Furthermore, the output end of the air pump 121 is equipped with a heating cylinder 124. The heating cylinder 124 is mainly composed of a nickel-chromium alloy wire, a heat-resistant silicone outer sheath, and a thermocouple. When the heating cylinder 124 is powered on, the nickel-chromium alloy wire generates heat. At the same time, the thermocouple is used to detect the temperature and transmit the data to the regulating switch 125. This is existing technology. The output end of the heating cylinder 124 is equipped with a connecting pipe 126.
[0026] Furthermore, the output end of the connecting pipe 126 is equipped with an exhaust component 127. The exhaust component 127 and the air intake component 123 are made of commonly available plastic boxes. The top of the exhaust component 127 and the air intake component 123 are equipped with dust filters, which are made of stainless steel mesh.
[0027] Furthermore, the right side wall of the support frame 100 is fixed with multiple support rods 102 by bolts, and the left side wall of the support frame 100 is fixed with a support member 101 by bolts.
[0028] It is worth noting that the heating cylinder 124 is electrically connected to an adjustment switch 125. The adjustment switch 125 is a common temperature control switch with a display screen. The heating temperature of the heating cylinder 124 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjustment switch 125. This is existing technology. The adjustment switch 125 is fixed to the side wall of the mounting plate 120, which is located on the side wall of the outer cover 110.
[0029] It is worth noting that the outer cover 110 has a door curtain 111 on its side wall. The bottom of the door curtain 111 is equipped with a common soft magnetic strip, which can magnetically attach the bottom of the door curtain 111 to the support frame 100. The door curtain 111 is fitted to the side wall of the support frame 100.
[0030] In addition, all the electrical components and equipment mentioned above use external power sources. The circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. Furthermore, the scope of protection of this utility model does not involve improvements to the internal structure and methods.
[0031] Working principle: After opening the curtain 111, areca nuts can be planted inside the seedling tray 150 for seedling cultivation. At this time, the spacing of the seedling components 140 can be adjusted by sliding the rod 131, and the spacing of the seedling tray 150 can also be adjusted by coordinating the seedling components 140. This allows for adjustment of the front-back and left-right distance of the seedling tray 150 according to the size of the areca nut seedlings being planted, facilitating the cultivation of seedlings of various sizes and improving the convenience of using the seedling rack. When cultivating seedlings, the curtain 111 covering the outside of the tray 110 is closed. When the air is turned off, the air pump 121 operates, causing the air inside the outer cover 110 to be drawn into the connecting pipe 122 through the air inlet 123. The air is then heated by the electrically powered heating cylinder 124. The heated air is then discharged into the interior of the outer cover 110 through the connecting pipe 126 and the exhaust pipe 127. This allows for the circulation and heating of the air inside the outer cover 110, which helps to maintain a better temperature inside the outer cover 110 for the cultivation of areca nut seedlings.
