Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tobacco agricultural experimental equipment, and more specifically to a cultivation device that facilitates the study of tobacco root growth. Background Technology

[0002] Phenotypic observation of flue-cured tobacco root systems is an important means of breeding and improving varieties based on root traits. Common methods for studying flue-cured tobacco roots include hydroponics, root excavation, and X-ray projection. Hydroponics uses hydroponic equipment to grow tobacco in a hydroponic environment, allowing direct observation of root growth and development; however, the hydroponic environment cannot reflect the normal field growth and development of tobacco. Root excavation involves digging up the tobacco plants from the field, washing the roots, and then observing root growth; however, this method is cumbersome to clean and causes significant root damage, failing to provide a complete picture of root growth. X-ray projection involves cultivating the tobacco in substrate containers and then projecting X-ray images onto the roots; however, this method requires sophisticated equipment and is inconvenient to maintain.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a cultivation device that is simple in structure, low in equipment cost, and can fully present the growth state of the root system for easy study of tobacco root growth is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a cultivation device that is simple in structure, low in equipment cost, and can fully present the growth state of the root system, making it convenient for studying tobacco root growth.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A cultivation device for facilitating the study of tobacco root growth includes:

[0007] Mobile vehicle;

[0008] A transparent cultivation container is detachably installed inside the mobile vehicle. The transparent cultivation container contains transparent soil, and tobacco is planted in the transparent soil.

[0009] A water tank is fixed on the mobile vehicle, and a water pump is placed on the water tank. The inlet of the water pump is connected to the outlet pipe of the water tank, and the outlet of the water pump is connected to a spray pipe for irrigating tobacco.

[0010] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model discloses a cultivation device that facilitates the study of tobacco root growth. Tobacco is planted in a transparent cultivation container, and a sprinkler system irrigates the tobacco to ensure normal growth. When it is necessary to observe the tobacco roots, the soil and cultivation container are transparent and visible, making it easy to observe the growth status of the tobacco roots. Furthermore, the device is easily movable, facilitating quick transport to different work sites. Therefore, this device has a simple structure, low equipment cost, and can completely present the root growth status.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the transparent cultivation bucket has multiple water-permeable holes, the mobile vehicle has a positioning drainage groove, the bottom of the transparent cultivation bucket is positioned and inserted into the positioning drainage groove, and the positioning drainage groove has a drainage outlet.

[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: when the sprinkler pipe is used for irrigation, the water in the transparent cultivation bucket can flow into the positioning drainage trough through the water permeable hole in time, and be discharged through the drainage outlet, thus avoiding root damage to tobacco due to waterlogging.

[0013] Furthermore, the transparent cultivation bucket is equipped with a light-blocking cloth roller blind.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: by lowering the shading cloth roll-up curtain to cover the outer wall of the transparent cultivation bucket, the roots of the tobacco seedlings can grow freely without being affected by light, thus simulating the normal field growth and development state of tobacco.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom outer wall of the transparent cultivation bucket has a fixing ring, and multiple pressure blocks are fixed on the mobile vehicle with screws, and the multiple pressure blocks are pressed into the fixing ring.

[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: it enables the rapid assembly and disassembly of transparent cultivation containers, facilitating the transportation of the device after disassembly. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Mobile vehicle 1;

[0024] Transparent cultivation bucket 2, which can be detachably installed in the mobile vehicle 1, contains transparent soil (existing technology), and tobacco is grown in the transparent soil;

[0025] Water tank 3 is fixed on mobile vehicle 1. Water pump 4 is placed on water tank 3. The inlet of water pump 4 is connected to the outlet pipe of water tank 3. The outlet of water pump 4 is connected to a sprinkler pipe 5 for irrigating tobacco.

[0026] In some examples, the bottom surface of the transparent cultivation bucket 2 has multiple water-permeable holes 21, and the mobile vehicle 1 has a positioning drainage trough 11. The bottom of the transparent cultivation bucket 2 is positioned and inserted into the positioning drainage trough 11, and the positioning drainage trough 11 has a drain outlet 111.

[0027] In some examples, a light-blocking curtain 6 is fixed to the transparent cultivation container 2 by clamps, screws, or magnets. When the light-blocking curtain 6 is lowered, it can block the light from the transparent cultivation container, allowing the tobacco seedling roots to grow freely without being affected by light, thus simulating the normal field growth and development of tobacco. When it is necessary to observe the root system, the light-blocking curtain 6 can be rolled up for observation. Therefore, this utility model integrates the light-blocking curtain 6 onto the transparent cultivation container 2, eliminating the need to carry an additional light-blocking cloth and effectively avoiding the problem of the light-blocking cloth being easily lost.

[0028] In some examples, the bottom outer wall of the transparent cultivation bucket 2 has a fixing ring 22, and multiple pressure blocks 7 are fixed to the mobile cart 1 with screws, and the multiple pressure blocks 7 are pressed into the fixing ring 22.

[0029] This device, by setting up transparent cultivation containers and soil, allows for convenient and comprehensive observation of the growth status of tobacco roots. Moreover, the device has a simple structure and low cost, meeting the needs of tobacco agricultural experiments.
