Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of plant seedling boxes, specifically a yam cutting seedling box. Background Technology

[0002] Yam is an annual or perennial twining vine belonging to the genus Dioscorea in the family Dioscoreaceae. Its tubers are cylindrical, growing vertically, reaching over 1 meter in length and 2–7 centimeters in diameter; the stems are slender, reaching 3–4 meters in length; bulbils often grow in the leaf axils; the flowers are unisexual, with male and female flowers on separate plants; flowering occurs from July to August, and fruiting from September to October. my country has very rich yam varieties, with wide cultivation areas and strong adaptability. It is produced throughout the country, from Hainan in the south to Inner Mongolia in the north, and from the three northeastern provinces in the east to Yunnan in the west, except for Tibet. Wild or cultivated yams are found in all regions.

[0003] Currently, the nutrient substrate available in commercially available cutting propagation boxes is either limited in form and irreplaceable or requires complicated replacement procedures. The boxes are also non-transparent, making it difficult to conduct experimental observations and data measurements. Furthermore, the boxes are relatively short and cannot be connected, making them unsuitable for the cutting propagation and related research of yams, which produce long tubers.

[0004] Yam cutting propagation boxes play an important role in the study of yam stem segment and tissue culture seedling propagation, yam root system, growth patterns, and the accumulation of self-generated toxic substances in the soil caused by continuous cropping. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing cutting propagation boxes, such as the limited availability and irreplaceability of nutrient substrates, cumbersome replacement processes, inconvenience for experimental observation and data measurement, low box height and lack of continuity, making them unsuitable for cutting propagation and related research of yams that produce long tubers, this utility model provides a yam cutting propagation box.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to achieve the above objectives is as follows:

[0007] A yam cutting propagation box includes a transparent box body, a faucet, a support structure, a partition, a filter cloth, a sponge placement groove, and a sponge. The transparent box body has an opening at the top, a water inlet at the top, and a water outlet at the bottom. A faucet is installed on the water outlet. The support structure is located in the lower part of the transparent box body, and a partition is placed on the support structure. The edge of the partition is sealed to the side wall of the transparent box body or has only a small installation gap. The partition has water permeability holes, and the upper surface of the partition is covered with filter cloth. A sponge placement groove is placed in the opening at the top of the transparent box body. The bottom plate of the sponge placement groove has several cutting holes penetrating its upper and lower surfaces. The sponge is placed in the sponge placement groove, and the sponge has cutting holes penetrating its upper and lower surfaces corresponding to the cutting holes.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the sponge placement groove is provided with a downwardly extending limiting flange, which is in clearance fit with the top opening of the transparent box.

[0009] Preferably, the support structure has three or more support flanges, and all support flanges are connected to the lower inner wall of the transparent box.

[0010] Preferably, the upper surfaces of all the supporting flanges are at the same height.

[0011] Preferably, the transparent box is in the shape of a hollow cuboid, cylinder, or regular hexagonal prism.

[0012] Preferably, the transparent enclosure is made of inorganic glass or plexiglass.

[0013] This utility model of a yam cutting seedling box allows for the filling of nutrient solution or substrate into the space above the filter cloth inside the transparent box, as needed. The nutrient solution flows through the filter cloth to the bottom of the transparent box. When it is necessary to replace the nutrient solution with substrate, simply open the faucet installed on the water outlet at the bottom of the transparent box to drain the nutrient solution. Then, remove the sponge placement slot and sponge from the top opening of the transparent box. Fill the transparent box with substrate through the top opening. After filling with substrate, place the sponge placement slot and sponge back on the top opening of the transparent box. When it is necessary to replace the substrate with nutrient solution, simply remove the filter cloth. The sponge placement slot and sponge are placed on the top opening of the transparent box. The substrate and filter cloth inside the transparent box are removed or poured out. Then, a filter cloth for equipment is laid on the partition, and the sponge placement slot and sponge are placed back on the top opening of the transparent box. Nutrient solution can then be injected into the transparent box through the water inlet at the top of the transparent box. Because the transparent box is transparent, it is convenient for experimental observation and data measurement. When it is necessary to increase the height of the transparent box, simply remove the sponge from the sponge placement slot, then install a section of transparent tube with the same cross-section as the transparent box into the sponge placement slot, and then place the spare sponge placement slot and sponge on the top opening of the transparent tube.

[0014] As can be seen from the above, the yam cutting seedling box of this utility model solves the problems of existing cutting seedling boxes, which have a single and irreplaceable nutrient substrate or a complicated replacement process, making it inconvenient for experimental observation and data measurement. The boxes are also low in height and cannot be connected, making them unsuitable for cutting seedling cultivation and related research of yams that will grow long tubers. The new box has the advantages of having a variety of nutrient substrates available and a simple replacement process, facilitating experimental observation and data measurement, and allowing the height of the box to be increased as needed.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the yam cutting propagation box of this embodiment includes a transparent box 1, a water tap 2, a support structure, a partition 3, a filter cloth 4, a sponge placement groove 5, and a sponge 6. The top of the transparent box 1 is open, and a water inlet 11 is provided at the top of the transparent box 1. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the transparent box 1, and a water tap 2 is installed on the water outlet. A support structure is provided at the bottom of the transparent box 1, and a partition 3 is placed on the support structure. The edge of the partition 3 is sealed to the side wall of the transparent box 1 or only a small installation gap is left. The partition 3 is provided with water permeable holes, and the upper surface of the partition 3 is covered with filter cloth 4. A sponge placement groove 5 is placed on the top opening of the transparent box 1. A number of cutting holes penetrating its upper and lower surfaces are provided on the bottom plate of the sponge placement groove 5. The sponge 6 is placed in the sponge placement groove 5, and the sponge 6 is provided with cutting holes penetrating its upper and lower surfaces corresponding to the cutting holes. The filter cloth 4 can adsorb and trap impurities such as green algae spores mixed in the working liquid, prevent green hair from growing at the bottom of the transparent box 1, which would affect experimental observation. At the same time, it can also prevent impurities from clogging the water-permeable holes on the partition 3, and can also block the matrix to prevent the matrix from clogging the water-permeable holes on the partition 3.

[0022] Preferably, the bottom of the sponge placement groove 5 is provided with a downwardly extending limiting flange, which is in clearance fit with the top opening of the transparent box 1. This restricts the relative position of the sponge placement groove 5 and the top opening of the transparent box 1 in the horizontal direction, thereby ensuring that the sponge placement groove 5 will not fall off the transparent box 1.

[0023] Preferably, the support structure consists of four support flanges 7, all of which are connected to the lower inner wall of the transparent box 1, and the four support flanges 7 are arranged in a rectangular or rhomboid shape.

[0024] Preferably, the upper surfaces of all supporting flanges 7 are at the same height.

[0025] Preferably, the transparent box 1 is a hollow cuboid shape. When placed, the cuboid shape offers the advantage of high space utilization.

[0026] Preferably, the transparent box 1 is made of inorganic glass or plexiglass.

[0027] The working principle and process of the yam cutting seedling box in this embodiment are as follows:

[0028] In this embodiment, the yam cutting seedling box can be filled with nutrient solution or substrate in the space above the filter cloth 4 inside the transparent box 1 as needed. The nutrient solution can flow into the bottom of the transparent box 1 through the filter cloth 4. When it is necessary to replace the nutrient solution in the transparent box 1 with substrate, simply open the faucet 2 installed on the bottom outlet of the transparent box 1 to drain the nutrient solution. Then, remove the sponge placement slot 5 and sponge 6 placed on the top opening of the transparent box 1. Fill the transparent box 1 with substrate through the top opening. After filling with substrate, place the sponge placement slot 5 and sponge 6 back on the top opening of the transparent box 1. When it is necessary to replace the substrate in the transparent box 1 with nutrient solution, simply remove the transparent box. The sponge placement trough 5 and sponge 6 are placed on the top opening of the transparent box 1. The substrate and filter cloth 4 inside the transparent box 1 are taken out or poured out. Then, the equipment filter cloth is laid on the partition 3, and the sponge placement trough 5 and sponge 6 are placed on the top opening of the transparent box 1 again. Nutrient solution can then be injected into the transparent box 1 through the water inlet 11 at the top of the transparent box 1. Since the transparent box 1 is transparent, it is convenient for experimental observation and data measurement. When it is necessary to increase the height of the transparent box 1, simply take the sponge 6 out of the sponge placement trough 5, and then install a section of transparent tube with the same cross-section as the transparent box 1 into the sponge placement trough 5. Then, place the spare sponge placement trough 5 and sponge 6 on the top opening of the transparent tube.

[0029] As can be seen from the above, the yam cutting propagation box of this embodiment solves the problems of existing cutting propagation boxes, which have limited and irreplaceable nutrient substrate forms, or complicated replacement processes, making them inconvenient for experimental observation and data measurement. Furthermore, the boxes are too low and cannot be connected, making them unsuitable for the cutting propagation and related research of yams that produce long tubers. This embodiment has the advantages of diverse nutrient substrate forms, simple replacement processes, ease of experimental observation and data measurement, adjustable box height, and suitability for the cutting propagation and related research of yams that produce long tubers.

[0030] Obviously, the above embodiments are not the only implementation methods of this utility model. Without departing from its technical essence, many simple changes can be made, such as: the support structure having 3 or more flanges; the transparent box being a hollow cylinder or a regular hexagonal prism, and so on, which will not be elaborated here.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the present utility model. Any simple modifications, alterations, or equivalent structural changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
