[0033] A seedling planting rack, such as Figures 1-6As shown, the system includes a frame 1 and several trays 2, which are slidably connected to the side walls of the frame 1. Several grooves 3 for placing seedlings are provided on the trays 2. Several fixing plates 4 are fixedly connected to the frame 1, each located directly above a tray 2. Several interconnected water pipes 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plates 4, and are interconnected via inlet pipes 18. Openings 6 are provided at the bottom of each water pipe 5 corresponding to the grooves 3, and irrigation components for drip irrigation of the seedlings are provided on the openings 6. When using the seedling rack, the trays 2 are pulled out from the frame 1, and then the seedlings are placed in the grooves 3, and the trays 2 are then... Push it back to its original position. At this time, the position of the seedling in the groove 3 corresponds to that of the irrigation component. Then connect the water inlet pipe 18 to the external faucet and deliver water to the water inlet pipe 18 through the faucet. The water inlet pipe 18 delivers water to each water delivery pipe 5. At the same time, the water is delivered to the irrigation component through the opening 6 at the bottom of the water delivery pipe 5. The irrigation component drips water onto the seedling in the groove 3, thus completing the watering effect. The irrigation component ensures that the seedling always has sufficient water, eliminating the need for staff to water the seedling regularly and reducing the workload of the staff.

[0034] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the irrigation assembly includes a water outlet pipe 7 fixedly connected to the opening 6. An adjusting cover 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the water outlet pipe 7. The adjusting cover 8 has several water outlets 9, each equipped with a drip irrigation head 10. When drip irrigating seedlings, water is delivered to the opening 6 through the water supply pipe 5. Simultaneously, water enters the water outlet pipe 7 through the opening 6, bringing it into contact with the adjusting cover 8. Using the drip irrigation heads 10 on the adjusting cover 8, water drips onto the seedlings, thus achieving the effect of drip irrigation. An inclined limiting plate 11 is fixedly connected inside the water outlet pipe 7. A gap exists between the limiting plate 11 and the bottom of the water outlet pipe 7. The drip irrigation heads 10 are arranged in a circular array along the adjusting cover 8, with the openings of the drip irrigation heads 10... The drip heads 10 have different diameters. When water enters the outlet pipe 7, it comes into contact with the limiting plate 11 and moves towards the gap due to the influence of the limiting plate 11. The seedlings are then irrigated by one of the drip heads 10 located at the gap. When it is necessary to adjust the flow rate of the water dripping onto the seedlings, the drip head 10 can be moved by rotating the adjusting cover 8. The different diameters of the drip heads 10 can be used to adjust the flow rate of the water dripping onto the seedlings. The inner wall of the adjusting cover 8 is fixedly connected to the limiting ring 12, and the outer wall of the outlet pipe 7 has an annular groove 13 for the limiting ring 12 to rotate. This prevents the adjusting cover 8 from separating from the outlet pipe 7 when it is rotated, thus avoiding affecting the normal use of the drip head 10.

[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, support plates 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the frame 1. The pallet 2 and the support plates 14 are slidably connected, which makes it easy to drive the pallet 2 to move along the frame 1, while increasing the fixing effect of the pallet 2 on the frame 1 and preventing the pallet 2 from collapsing.

[0036] like Figures 1-3 As shown, two adjacent grooves 3 are interconnected through a through hole 15. A flexible hose 16 is detachably connected to the side wall of the tray 2. The flexible hose 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame 1. When cleaning excess water in the groove 3, the through hole 15 can guide the excess water in the groove 3 to the groove 3 with the flexible hose 16, and the water is discharged outward through the flexible hose 16, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning excess water in the groove 3. The bottom of the tray 2 and the top of the flexible hose 16 are fixedly connected to mutually attractive magnetic rings 17, which can facilitate the positioning of the flexible hose 16 on the tray 2. At the same time, the adsorption capacity of the magnetic ring 17 can facilitate the installation of the flexible hose 16 and the tray 2.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the seedling rack, the tray 2 is pulled out from the frame 1, and then the seedling is placed in the groove 3. The tray 2 is then pushed back to its original position. At this time, the position of the seedling in the groove 3 corresponds to the drip irrigation head 10. Then, the water inlet pipe 18 is connected to the external faucet, and water is delivered to the water inlet pipe 18 through the faucet. The water inlet pipe 18 delivers water to each water delivery pipe 5, and at the same time, the water delivery pipe 5 delivers water to the opening 6. At this time, the water will enter the water outlet pipe 7 through the opening 6 and come into contact with the adjusting cover 8. Using the several drip irrigation heads 10 on the adjusting cover 8, water can drip onto the seedlings, thereby completing the watering effect of the seedlings. Through the setting of the irrigation components, the seedlings can always maintain sufficient water, eliminating the need for staff to water the seedlings regularly and reducing the workload of the staff.
