Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea tree seedling technology, specifically to a tea tree seedling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of asexual propagation of tea trees, traditional fixed seedling devices have long relied on static seedbed structures, which have fundamental limitations in their technical architecture. These devices fix cuttings vertically or at an angle in the culture medium using pre-set grooves or grids, maintaining a constant spatial orientation throughout the cultivation cycle. This mechanical positioning method results in a significant directional dependence of light reception—cuttings facing the light source are continuously exposed to direct sunlight. When the accumulated light energy on the leaf surface exceeds the photosynthetic system's carrying capacity threshold, it causes damage to chloroplast structure and degradation of photosynthetic pigments, ultimately manifesting as scorching symptoms such as leaf edge withering and decreased photosynthetic efficiency. Meanwhile, cuttings on the shaded side suffer from limited light incidence angles, resulting in significantly reduced light quantum capture efficiency and insufficient accumulation of carbon assimilation products, leading to delayed stem lignification and delayed adventitious root germination. This imbalance in light distribution creates a vicious cycle in large-scale seedling cultivation: cuttings in dominant positions prematurely enter the senescence stage due to excessive light, while cuttings in weaker positions stagnate due to energy deficiency, resulting in significant developmental differences within the same batch of seedlings.

[0003] Currently, traditional fixed seedling raising devices typically fix the cuttings in the seedbed, resulting in a single direction of light exposure and easily causing localized excessive or insufficient light. For example, cuttings near the light source may suffer leaf burn due to prolonged direct sunlight, while cuttings in shaded areas will experience stunted growth due to insufficient light.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the inventor proposes a tea tree seedling cultivation device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tea tree seedling raising device to meet the light requirements of tea tree cutting seedling raising.

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

[0007] A tea tree seedling cultivation device includes a support frame, two rotating frames, and several mounting frames. The two rotating frames are rotatably mounted on the support frame, and each mounting frame is movably mounted between the two rotating frames.

[0008] The rotating frame is equipped with a seedling frame, and the seedling frame is provided with a number of seedling holes. The seedling holes are provided with planting pots for planting tea seedlings.

[0009] It also includes a first base plate and a rotating platform, the rotating platform being disposed between the first base plate and the support frame, the rotating platform being used to drive the support frame to rotate.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, the tea seedling raising device achieves dynamic light control through the coordinated operation of the support frame, rotating frame, and mounting frame. The bottom of the support frame is connected to the first base plate through a rotating platform, and the support frame can rotate to adjust the overall light direction. Two rotating frames are symmetrically installed on both sides of the support frame, and the seedling frame is embedded in the frame of the mounting frame, with multiple planting pots fixed on it through seedling holes. By driving the rotating frame to rotate, the position and angle of the seedling frame installed on the rotating frame are changed, thereby changing the light direction of the tea seedlings in the planting pots.

[0011] Furthermore, the support frame includes a second base plate and ribs symmetrically fixedly disposed on the second base plate. A mounting plate is fixedly disposed on the rib, and each of the rotating frames is rotatably connected to one of the mounting plates.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting bracket includes a frame and two mounting seats, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame. Each mounting seat is provided with a connecting bolt, and the mounting seat is movably mounted on the rotating frame by means of the connecting bolt.

[0013] Furthermore, the seedling frame has protrusions on both sides, which are used to limit the position of the seedling frame when it is placed on the frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the top of the seedling frame is provided with a water injection hole, the bottom of the seedling frame is provided with a drainage hole, and a drainage switch is provided at the drainage hole.

[0015] According to the above technical solution, the top water inlet hole serves as a water inlet channel for replenishing water into the seedling frame; the bottom drainage hole integrates a drainage switch. When the drainage switch is closed and water is replenished into the water inlet hole, the water in the seedling frame can permeate into the planting pot through the drainage hole at the bottom of the planting pot for irrigation. When the drainage switch is opened, it is used to drain the water in the seedling frame.

[0016] Furthermore, the rotary table includes a ring frame fixedly mounted on the first base plate, a rotating column rotatably connected to the ring frame, a connecting plate fixedly mounted on the top of the rotating column, and the connecting plate being detachably connected to the bottom of the second base plate.

[0017] According to the above technical solution, the ring frame fixed to the first base plate serves as the basic load-bearing structure. Its embedded bearing forms a rotating pair with the rotating column, allowing the rotating column to rotate freely around the vertical axis. The top of the rotating column is rigidly connected to the connecting plate, and the connecting plate can be detachably connected to the second base plate of the support frame, ensuring the stable transmission of transmission torque.

[0018] Furthermore, a first motor is fixedly mounted on the first base plate, and a worm gear is connected to the output shaft of the first motor. The rotating column is a worm wheel, and the worm wheel meshes with the worm gear.

[0019] According to the above technical solution, after the first motor fixed to the first base plate is started, its output shaft drives the worm to rotate. The worm and the worm wheel, which serves as the rotating column, form a meshing pair, converting the rotational motion of the first motor into the rotation of the vertical axis of the worm wheel; enabling the support frame to rotate within the shaft, so that the planting pot meets the requirements for uniform light.

[0020] Furthermore, the rotary table also includes a housing, which is fitted around the outer periphery of the worm gear.

[0021] Furthermore, a connecting shaft is provided between the two rotating frames, and a second motor is fixedly mounted on one of the ribs, with the output shaft of the second motor coaxially connected to the connecting shaft.

[0022] Furthermore, the bottom of the planting pot is provided with drainage holes.

[0023] According to the above technical solution, when irrigation is excessive, it can drain the accumulated water while maintaining the porosity of the substrate and preventing root rot.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] This invention achieves centralized supply and precise control of irrigation water through the design of water inlet and drainage holes in the seedling frame. When the drainage switch is closed, water flows through the drainage holes at the bottom of the planting pot to permeate into the substrate, ensuring even watering. When the drainage switch is opened, excess water can be quickly drained to prevent root rot. Furthermore, the combination of the rotating platform and the second motor allows the support frame and planting pots to rotate electrically, further optimizing the uniformity of light distribution. Compared to traditional manual pot-by-pot management, this device, through the integration of mechanical structure and irrigation system, significantly reduces the frequency of manual intervention, lowers labor intensity, and provides a solution for large-scale seedling cultivation.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this utility model and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0035] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0036] This embodiment proposes a tea tree seedling cultivation device, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes a support frame 1, two rotating frames 2 and several mounting frames 3. The two rotating frames 2 are rotatably mounted on the support frame 1, and each mounting frame 3 is movably mounted between the two rotating frames 2.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 1 includes a second base plate 11 and ribs 12 symmetrically fixed on the second base plate 11. Each of the two ribs 12 is fixedly provided with a mounting plate 13. The two rotating frames 2 are respectively installed on the mounting plates 13, and the rotating frames 2 are rotatably connected to the mounting plates 13.

[0038] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting bracket 3 includes a frame 31 and two mounting seats 32, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame 31; Figure 5 As shown, the mounting base 32 is provided with connecting bolts 33, and the mounting base 32 is movably mounted on the rotating frame 2 by means of the connecting bolts 33. In this embodiment, the rotating frame 2 has a hexagonal structure, and preferably, there are six mounting frames 3. Each mounting frame 3 is installed at one of the end positions of the rotating frame 2. The purpose of the connecting bolts 33 is to connect the mounting frames 3 to the rotating frame 2, but the mounting frames 3 can move on the rotating frame 2. When the rotating frame 2 rotates, the mounting frames 3 remain stable under the action of gravity.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a seedling frame 4 is installed on the rotating frame 2. The seedling frame 4 is provided with several seedling holes 41. A planting pot 5 for planting tea seedlings is placed in the seedling hole 41. A drainage hole 51 is provided at the bottom of the planting pot 5. The purpose of setting the drainage hole 51 is to ensure that the substrate in the planting pot 5 can drain the water when over-irrigated, so as to prevent root rot.

[0040] As a preferred option, such as Figure 4 As shown, the seedling frame 4 has protrusions 42 on both sides. When the seedling frame 4 is placed on the frame 31, the protrusions 42 are used to limit the seedling frame 4 and prevent it from detaching from the frame 31. The top of the seedling frame 4 has a water inlet hole 43, and the bottom of the seedling frame 4 has a drain hole 44. A drain switch (not shown) is provided at the drain hole 44. The water inlet hole 43 at the top of the seedling frame 4 serves as a water inlet channel for replenishing water into the seedling frame 4. The drain hole 44 at the bottom is equipped with a drain switch. When the drain switch is closed and water is replenished into the water inlet hole 43, the water in the seedling frame 4 can seep into the planting pot 5 through the drainage hole 51 at the bottom of the planting pot 5, which is used to replenish and irrigate multiple planting pots 5 at the same time. When the drain switch is opened, the water in the seedling frame 4 can be drained.

[0041] In one embodiment, the system further includes a first base plate 6 and a rotating platform 7. The rotating platform 7 is disposed between the first base plate 6 and the support frame 1, and is used to drive the support frame 1 to rotate. The rotating platform 7 includes a ring frame 71 fixedly mounted on the first base plate 6, a rotating column 72 rotatably connected to the ring frame 71, and a connecting plate 73 fixedly mounted on the top of the rotating column 72. The connecting plate 73 is detachably connected to the bottom of the second base plate 11 by bolts. The bottom of the support frame 1 is connected to the first base plate 6 via the rotating platform 7, and the support frame 1 can rotate via the rotating platform 7. In this embodiment, the support frame 1 can be manually pushed, thereby driving the support frame 1 to rotate around the axis of the rotating platform 7, thereby adjusting the overall light exposure direction of each planting pot 5 placed on the support frame 1.

[0042] In another embodiment, a first motor 74 is fixedly mounted on the first base plate 6. A worm gear 75 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 74, and a worm wheel is formed by the rotating column 72. The worm wheel and the worm gear 75 mesh with each other. In this embodiment, after the first motor 74 fixed to the first base plate 6 is started, its output shaft drives the worm gear 75 to rotate. The worm gear 75 and the worm wheel, which serves as the rotating column 72, form a meshing pair, converting the rotational motion of the first motor 74 into the rotation of the vertical axis of the worm wheel, thereby driving the support frame 1 to rotate. In this embodiment, the rotation of the planting pot 5 is achieved by electrically controlling the first motor 74, so that the planting pot 5 can rotate to achieve the purpose of uniform light exposure.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the rotary table 7 also includes a housing 76, which is fitted around the outer periphery of the worm gear. The housing 76 is used to protect the worm gear and worm 75 from the influence of dust.

[0044] In one implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, a connecting shaft 21 is provided between the two rotating frames 2. A second motor 22 is fixedly installed on one of the ribs 12, and the output shaft of the second motor 22 is coaxially connected to the connecting shaft 21. When the second motor 22 is started, the second motor 22 rotates and drives the two rotating frames 2 to rotate, which in turn drives each mounting frame 3 and the planting pot 5 installed on the mounting frame 3 to rotate, so as to meet the requirement of uniform light exposure of the planting pot 5.

[0045] In this embodiment, a double rotating frame 2 is provided on the top of the support frame 1. Each rotating frame 2 has a hexagonal frame structure 31. Six mounting frames 3 are respectively hinged to the six end positions of the rotating frame 2 by movable connecting bolts 33. When the second motor 22 drives the connecting shaft 21 to rotate, the two parallel rotating frames 2 rotate synchronously, driving all mounting frames 3 to perform circular motion. Since the mounting frames 3 and the rotating frames 2 are connected by a hinge, under the action of gravity, each mounting frame 3 always automatically maintains a horizontal state, ensuring that the seedling frame 4 and planting pot 5 it carries are always in a horizontal position during rotation. This allows each planting pot 5 to rotate on its own axis while revolving with the rotating frame 2. When the first motor 74 drives the worm gear 75 mechanism to operate, the entire support frame 1 can rotate around the vertical axis. Through the combined motion of revolution and rotation, the planting pot 5 can periodically change its spatial orientation, transforming the unidirectional light generated by the original fixed light source into multi-angle incident light, effectively avoiding the difference between the shaded and illuminated areas in traditional fixed seedbeds, and ultimately achieving precise control of uniform light reception.

[0046] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments provided to fully illustrate the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present utility model are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
