[0024] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a seedling tray for afforestation in difficult terrain according to this application includes a box body 1, a breathable base 2, a drainage outlet 3, and a bracket 4. The following is a detailed description of each component and its technical implementation.

[0026] The box body 1 is the core structural component of the entire seedling tray, used to house the soil and seedling roots. It features a unique internal partition structure composed of several flexible dividers 11. These flexible dividers 11 are interlaced within the box body 1 and fixed to its inner wall. The flexible dividers 11 are soft and elastic, able to return to their original shape after slight bending or deformation under external force, thus protecting the seedlings from excessive damage. The surface of the flexible dividers 11 has evenly arranged ventilation holes 12, which help enhance airflow and provide more adequate oxygen to the seedling roots. Technically, the flexible dividers 11 can be made of polyurethane foam or other polymer materials with high elasticity and breathability, ensuring functional stability and resistance to damage during long-term use.

[0027] The breathable base 2 is located at the bottom of the box 1, serving to support the box 1 and optimize internal air circulation. The main material of the breathable base 2 can be ceramic, cement-gravel mixture, or plastic honeycomb grid, all with naturally porous structures. For example, when using a plastic honeycomb grid, the shape and internal channels of the breathable base 2 are manufactured using injection molding, ensuring a smooth exterior for easy assembly with other components. This structure increases the gas exchange area of ​​the soil layer, preventing root rot caused by prolonged soaking and oxygen deficiency.

[0028] Drainage outlet 3 is located on one side wall of the breathable base 2, primarily used to drain excess irrigation water and prevent waterlogging that could harm seedling growth. To ensure smooth drainage, drainage outlet 3 can be designed with a slightly downward angle and a filter screen added to prevent larger impurities from clogging the pipes. Furthermore, considering the specific needs of different environments, a movable connection method (such as a spiral connection) can be used to install drainage outlet 3 for quick cleaning or adjustment of the discharge flow direction. This flexible design adapts to complex outdoor climate conditions, improving the overall ease of operation and practicality of the seedling tray.

[0029] The bracket 4 is installed below the ventilated base 2 as an auxiliary fixing device to maintain the overall structural integrity and stable operation. Typically, the bracket 4 has a frame-like layout and is tightly connected to the lower edge of the ventilated base 2 using screws or clips. If the bracket 4 is constructed of metal, it should undergo anti-corrosion treatment, such as electroplating or spraying with anti-oxidant paint, to improve its durability. If it is made from wood, it needs to undergo pre-drying and sterilization processes and be regularly coated with a maintenance agent to extend its lifespan.

[0030] Regarding the technical challenge of ensuring even root distribution and preventing tangling in seedlings, the flexible partitions 11 within the box 1 of the aforementioned solution play a crucial role. Through their crisscrossing physical layout, young plants are clearly separated into independent small units for growth and development upon planting. Each zone, with its clearly defined area, prevents root systems from interfering with each other's expansion. Furthermore, the numerous micro-ventilation holes 12 on each flexible partition 11 promote balanced nutrient absorption, ultimately achieving the desired effect of promoting healthy, independent growth of individual plants without tangling or confusion. Simultaneously, the well-designed drainage system below further ensures suitable humidity levels, thus better fulfilling the requirement of cultivating high-quality seedlings.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the flexible partition 11 of a seedling box for afforestation in difficult terrain is configured in a cross-shaped form, with its cross angle adjusted to 45 degrees. This structure aims to provide spatial guidance conditions for multi-directional growth of seedling roots. Specifically, the flexible partition 11 can bend moderately due to its own flexibility, while maintaining a certain fixed shape to provide support, thereby guiding and restricting the root system of the seedling without hindering its natural extension. In the design of the internal partition structure, the flexible partition 11 is configured to penetrate the entire interior of the box 1, evenly distributed from the center outwards, and remains stable after being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1.

[0032] For example, the specific properties and shape of the flexible partition 11 can be determined by selecting material characteristics and molding processes. Its 45-degree cross-distribution is achieved through positioning and manufacturing using a pre-set mold, and its breathability can be further enhanced during processing by incorporating the arrangement of ventilation holes 12. Furthermore, this precise angle setting can be achieved by combining every two adjacent partitions according to a fixed geometric relationship, and then fixing them to the inside of the box body 1 using adhesives, fittings, or other methods, ensuring that the cross-section is stable and does not deviate from the specified angle.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a flexible partition 11 of a seedling tray for difficult afforestation according to this application is disposed within the tray body 1 and is arranged in a crisscrossing manner, serving to separate multiple seedling areas. Specifically, the flexible partition 11 has a structural feature with a specific arrangement: its surface is provided with ventilation holes 12 arranged in a regular hexagonal pattern, forming a honeycomb layout. This unique arrangement effectively ensures uniform airflow and enhances the overall structural stability through biomimetic design. Furthermore, because the number and position of the ventilation holes 12 are precisely controlled, the air permeability can be further optimized while avoiding excessive interconnection between the holes.

[0034] The honeycomb structure on the flexible partition 11 is achieved through methods such as mold pressing or laser cutting. For example, a plastic material with a certain degree of flexibility is selected. During the manufacturing process, the spacing and size between each vent 12 are precisely calculated to ensure that the final hexagonal unit has a regular and tight connection. Subsequently, when this component is assembled into the predetermined position inside the box 1, it can be fixed by snaps or adhesives, thereby maintaining its stable state and tightly fitting the box 1. This installation method is not only convenient to operate, but also ensures that the relative positions between each partition are correct.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the partition structure design of a seedling box for difficult afforestation according to this application has certain modular characteristics. To facilitate installation and maintenance, a specific type of flexible partition 11 is provided inside the seedling box. This flexible partition 11 achieves precise positioning and stable connection by cooperating with the inner wall structure of the box body 1. Specifically, specially designed guide plates 14 are provided at both ends of the flexible partition 11, and these guide plates 14 can match the slots 13 opened on the inner wall of the box body 1. This structural design ensures that the flexible partition 11 can be correctly guided and fixed to the preset position during insertion, while reducing alignment errors during assembly.

[0036] For example, when the operator needs to assemble the flexible separator 11 into the box 1, they only need to align the guide plates 14 at both ends with the slots 13 on the inner wall, and then gently push it along the direction of the slots 13 to complete the installation. During this process, because the design specifications of the slots 13 and the guide plates 14 strictly correspond, the stability of the overall structure and assembly efficiency are ensured. Furthermore, this assembly method allows the flexible separator 11 to be disassembled independently for cleaning or replacement after seedling cultivation, further improving the operability and practicality of the equipment.

[0037] like Figures 2-4 As shown, in one embodiment, the flexible partition 11 of a seedling tray for afforestation in challenging terrain according to this application has multiple reinforcing ribs 15 inside. These reinforcing ribs 15 are distributed in multiple layers inside the flexible partition 11, which can improve its overall performance, including characteristics such as flexibility and support. With this structural arrangement, even when faced with external impact or pressure, the flexible partition 11 is not prone to irreversible deformation, thereby avoiding interference with the internal root growth space. This part of the structure is integrated with the flexible partition 11 itself and does not change the overall layout or installation method of the partition.

[0038] The aforementioned multi-layer reinforcing ribs 15 can be implemented in the following way: During the fabrication of the flexible partition 11, reinforcing units with a certain arrangement are embedded in the middle of the material, for example, through fiber weaving, a mesh skeleton, or thermoplastic reinforcing strips. These reinforcing units form a stable network connection with each other, are evenly distributed in the inner layer area of ​​the flexible partition 11, and do not obstruct the function of the original ventilation holes 12 on the surface of the partition. For example, in a specific instance, a high-strength plastic skeleton is directly encapsulated in the inner layer of the flexible material through injection molding, while ensuring the compatibility of the reinforcement effect and the material's flexibility.

[0039] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom of the seedling tray 1 for afforestation in difficult terrain is provided with an exhaust hole 16 for releasing moisture and improving the root growth environment. A plurality of air inlets 21 are correspondingly provided on the ventilated base 2, which are aligned with the exhaust holes 16 to form an air channel penetrating the bottom of the seedling tray. This structure effectively promotes the exchange between external air and soil, further improving ventilation performance, while preventing root rot caused by excessive soil moisture. The tray 1 and the ventilated base 2 achieve functional coordination between the above components through specific assembly positions, optimizing airflow between them.

[0040] For example, a continuous airflow path can be created by precisely adjusting the position of the exhaust port 16 and ensuring that the air inlet port 21 is aligned directly below it. After the ventilated base 2 is connected to the box body 1, the air inlet port 21 is naturally located within the space at the bottom of the seedling box, providing a uniform supply of oxygen to the soil and facilitating the drainage of excess water generated by irrigation. Based on this, the entire device can maintain stable operation without the need for additional devices.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the drainage outlet 3 of a seedling tray for afforestation in difficult terrain according to this application is equipped with an adjustable valve 31. This valve allows for precise adjustment of the opening size to match the specific irrigation needs of different types of seedlings at different growth stages. By adjusting the valve, the rate and amount of water loss can be controlled, thereby preventing soil over-wetting or water shortage. The valve's configuration allows for dynamic adjustment and ensures that soil moisture remains within a reasonable range throughout the seedling process.

[0042] Specifically, the valve consists of an adjusting knob and a movable baffle, which are connected by a mechanical linkage mechanism. The adjusting knob is typically located outside the vent base 2, while the movable baffle is tightly embedded inside the drain outlet 3 and can slide flexibly along the edge of the opening. By rotating the adjusting knob, the mechanical linkage mechanism drives the change in the coverage area of ​​the movable baffle, thereby altering the actual opening degree of the drain outlet 3. For example, when it is necessary to reduce water discharge, the channel can be narrowed by increasing the baffle coverage ratio; conversely, the knob can be rotated in the opposite direction to widen the opening.

[0043] Furthermore, in actual installation, the valve's fixed position is ensured to be flush with the wall of the vent base 2 and to form a stable connection with the housing 1, maintaining overall robustness. This integrated design ensures that the valve does not affect the normal operation of other components and facilitates quick operation and adjustment by the user.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the bracket 4 of a seedling tray for afforestation in challenging terrain is made of an elastic material. This material property gives the bracket 4 a certain degree of flexibility, allowing it to slightly deform to adapt to the shape of the contact surface when subjected to external pressure or uneven surfaces. To ensure the overall stability of the seedling tray, an anti-slip pad 41 is installed at the bottom of the bracket 4. This pad is connected to the bracket 4 by strong adhesive or other fixing methods and has a rough surface or special textured structure to increase the coefficient of friction with the ground. Through this design, even on unstable surfaces such as slopes and wetlands, the seedling tray can still reduce the displacement caused by shaking or slipping, thereby avoiding adverse mechanical stimulation to the seedling roots.

[0045] For example, the bracket 4 can be made of natural rubber or polyurethane material with good elasticity and durability, with its connection point located below the ventilated base 2 and fixed circumferentially around the ventilated base 2. Specifically, the elastic bracket 4 can be pre-formed, and silicone-like material gaskets with a high coefficient of friction can be added to designated locations to achieve functional integration. In addition, to enhance assembly firmness, an embedded slot structure is designed to ensure a reliable connection between the bracket 4 and the ventilated base 2.

[0046] In one embodiment, the flexible divider 11 of the seedling tray for afforestation in challenging terrain is made of a novel fiber material with both air permeability and water retention properties. This fiber material is woven from composite fibers, with uniform and well-connected internal pores, ensuring air circulation while retaining a suitable amount of moisture, providing a stable microenvironment for seedling root growth. The flexible divider 11 is disposed inside the tray 1, its function being to separate multiple seedling root zones and prevent nutrient competition between adjacent seedlings due to excessive root entanglement. The surface of the flexible divider 11 has evenly distributed ventilation holes 12. The design of these ventilation holes 12 further optimizes the gas exchange function between different zones, ensuring good ventilation conditions required for seedling root development.

[0047] By using this novel fiber material to manufacture the flexible separator 11, the risk of root rot caused by excessive soil moisture can be significantly reduced. Specifically, the water-absorbing component in this material absorbs a small amount of moisture and gradually releases it to maintain suitable humidity, while its breathable structure can quickly release carbon dioxide and introduce oxygen. For example, a material made of polylactic acid fiber mixed with other environmentally friendly natural fibers can be selected as the base material for the flexible separator 11. It can be formed into a specified shape and size through die-cutting or hot-pressing processes and directly embedded into the preset slots of the box body 1 to complete the fixed connection.

[0048] In practical operation, when this device is used, soil and seedlings can be placed inside the box 1. The internal partition structure of the box 1 allows for the separation and cultivation of multiple seedlings using flexible dividers 11. Simultaneously, the ventilation holes 12 on the surface of the flexible dividers 11 help ensure air circulation around the roots, thus preventing root entanglement and promoting even distribution. Under the action of the breathable base 2, soil aeration is enhanced, and excess water is drained promptly, further ensuring healthy seedling growth. When drainage is needed, excess irrigation water can flow smoothly out through the drainage outlets 3 on the side wall of the breathable base 2. The bracket 4 located below the device maintains the stability of the entire seedling box, preventing tipping during use. This series of designs collectively ensures the applicability and functionality of the seedling box in difficult afforestation conditions.

[0049] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
