Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese medicinal herb cultivation technology, specifically an integrated structure of seedling cup and seedling tray. Background Technology

[0002] With the gradual advancement of agricultural mechanization and intelligentization in the fields of medicinal herbs and crop cultivation, the requirements for seed and seedling breeding technology and related equipment are increasing. Traditional seedling and transplanting methods have many limitations and cannot meet the needs of large-scale, efficient, and precise agricultural production.

[0003] In the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs such as Angelica sinensis, the quality and efficiency of the seedling raising stage have a crucial impact on the subsequent plant growth and yield. In the past, the seedling raising process may have relied on manual operation, such as manual sowing and transplanting. This method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also cannot effectively improve the success rate of seedling raising, the consistency of seedling quality, or facilitate transplanting.

[0004] In view of this, we propose an integrated structure of seedling cup and seedling tray. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated structure of seedling cup and seedling tray to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An integrated seedling cup and seedling tray structure includes a bearing fixedly installed on the inner side of the center of the seedling tray body. The seedling tray body has a through-hole for the seedling cup, and a seedling cup body is nested inside the seedling cup groove. Multiple sets of seedling cup grooves are arranged in a circumferential array on the seedling tray body, and each set of seedling cup grooves contains two sets of seedling cup bodies. A swinging component is provided on the seedling tray body, and the swinging component includes:

[0008] The top of the seedling cup body is provided with an arc-shaped groove. The arc-shaped grooves at the top of the two seedling cup bodies within a single set of seedling cup grooves form a circle. Stainless steel rings are fitted inside the two sets of arc-shaped grooves. A semi-circular cap is snapped onto the top of the seedling cup body.

[0009] Arc-shaped ribs are provided on the arc-shaped sidewall of the seedling cup body, and a sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the bottom end of the seedling tray body, and the arc-shaped ribs slide against the inner side of the sliding groove.

[0010] The bottom block is fixedly installed on the bottom of the seedling cup body, and a bottom column is rotatably installed on the bottom block. A top column is rotatably installed on the bottom of the seedling tray body. One end of a stiffness spring is fixedly installed on the outside of the bottom column, and the other end of a stiffness spring is fixedly installed on the outside of the top column. The arc-shaped sidewall and bottom of the seedling cup body are provided with through ventilation holes.

[0011] Preferably, the cylindrical cavity formed by the two sets of seedling cups is filled with substrate soil, and the substrate soil contains seeds.

[0012] Preferably, the gap between the multiple sets of seedling cup bodies serves as an air circulation channel for seedling cultivation. The seedling tray body is made of engineering plastic, and the seedling cup body is made of plastic processing, which allows the seedling cup body to bend and deform elastically, ensuring sufficient strength. It also takes into account the requirements for the portability of equipment in agricultural production, which helps to reduce the manpower consumption during handling and operation. At the same time, it has good corrosion resistance and formability, extending the service life of the seedling tray body and the seedling cup body, and reducing production costs.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom block, bottom column, top column and stiffness spring on the outer side of the single set of seedling cup groove are provided in two sets, so that the two sets of seedling cup bodies can be smoothly and stably separated and can be reset during transplanting.

[0014] Preferably, an auxiliary component is provided on the outer side of the seedling cup body. The auxiliary component includes an annular groove. An annular groove is formed on the inner side of the seedling tray body. One end of a spring is fixedly installed on the inner side of the annular groove. A rubber ball is fixedly installed on the other end of the spring. An elastic protrusion is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped outer wall of the seedling cup body. Multiple sets of elastic protrusions are provided on a single set of the seedling cup body. The rubber ball slides and fits against the outer side of the elastic protrusion, making the seedling cup body more stable when placed inside the seedling cup groove.

[0015] Preferably, multiple sets of spring pieces and rubber balls are provided in the annular groove, and the multiple sets of spring pieces and rubber balls are arranged in a circular array with equal spacing around the center of the circular cross-section of the annular groove.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an integrated structure of seedling cup and seedling tray, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This integrated seedling cup and seedling tray structure, designed to improve seedling success rate and seedling quality consistency, as well as facilitate transplanting, incorporates a swinging component. This component, along with an arc-shaped groove, stainless steel ring, and semi-circular cover, encloses two seedling cups into a single unit. Combined with arc-shaped ribs, sliding grooves, a bottom block, bottom column, top column, and rigid springs, the seedling cups can move up and down and rotate while simultaneously separating, allowing for the transplanting of the internal substrate and seeds. Ventilation holes create a macroscopic air circulation network at the tray level, effectively preventing localized air stagnation and providing a more uniform and stable oxygen supply environment for seed germination and seedling growth, thus improving seedling success rate and seedling quality consistency.

[0018] 2. This integrated seedling cup and seedling tray structure incorporates auxiliary components to enhance the stability of the transplanting process. When the seedling cup is placed inside the seedling cup slot, the elastic protrusions on the outer side of the seedling cup compress the rubber ball, causing the elastic piece to deform within the annular groove. The elastic potential energy of the elastic piece allows the rubber ball to be secured between the elastic protrusions, thus supporting the seedling cup. Simultaneously, when the seedling cup moves up and down and rotates, the deformable nature of the elastic piece prevents motion interference. Furthermore, the deformation of the elastic protrusions allows them to move to the bottom of the seedling tray, enabling the two sets of seedling trays to separate smoothly, thereby making the transplanting process more stable.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 8 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] An integrated seedling cup and seedling tray structure includes a bearing 1, which is fixedly installed on the inner side of the center of the seedling tray body 2. The bearing 1 allows the seedling tray body 2 to be positioned on the output end of a power device that enables rotation of the seedling tray body 2, thereby improving transplanting flexibility. A hydraulic mechanism for movable up-and-down pressing is provided above the seedling tray body 2. The soil to be transplanted is located below the seedling tray body 2. A through-hole seedling cup groove 3 is provided on the seedling tray body 2, and a seedling cup body 4 is nested inside the seedling cup groove 3. Multiple sets of seedling cup grooves 3 are arranged in a circular array on the seedling tray body 2, and each set of seedling cup grooves 3 contains two sets of seedling cup bodies 4. The inner diameter of the cup body 4 is 52 mm. In addition, the cylindrical cavity formed by the two sets of seedling cup bodies 4 contains substrate soil, and the substrate soil contains seeds. Furthermore, the gaps between the multiple sets of seedling cup bodies 4 serve as air circulation channels for seedling cultivation. The seedling tray body 2 is made of engineering plastic, and the seedling cup body 4 is made of plastic processing, which allows the seedling cup body 4 to be elastically bent and deformed, ensuring sufficient strength and taking into account the requirements for the portability of equipment in agricultural production. This helps to reduce the manpower consumption during handling and operation, while also having good corrosion resistance and formability, extending the service life of the seedling tray body 2 and the seedling cup body 4, and reducing production costs.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, a swing component 5 is provided on the seedling tray body 2. The swing component 5 includes an arc-shaped groove 51. An arc-shaped groove 51 is opened at the top of the seedling cup body 4. The arc-shaped grooves 51 at the top of the two sets of seedling cup bodies 4 within a single set of seedling cup grooves 3 are arranged in a circular shape. A stainless steel ring 52 is fitted inside the two sets of arc-shaped grooves 51. The diameter of the circular cross-section of the stainless steel ring 52 is 1.2 mm. A semi-circular cover 53 is snapped onto the top of the seedling cup body 4. First, the side walls of the two seedling cup bodies 4 are attached together, and the arc-shaped grooves 51 at the top of the two seedling cup bodies 4 are arranged in a circular shape. Then, the stainless steel ring 52 is fitted into the arc-shaped groove 51, and then the semi-circular cover 53 is snapped onto the seedling cup body. 4. The top of the two seedling cups 4 is assembled into a whole. The curved sidewall of the seedling cup body 4 is provided with curved ribs 54. The bottom inner side of the seedling tray body 2 is provided with a groove 55. The curved ribs 54 slide against the inner side of the groove 55. Then, the assembled seedling cup body 4 is placed inside the seedling cup groove 3 opened on the seedling tray body 2. The cylindrical cavity formed by the seedling cup bodies 4 is filled with substrate soil and seeds. The gaps between the multiple sets of seedling cup bodies 4 form a seedling air circulation channel. When the hydraulic mechanism presses down on the semi-circular cover 53, the curved ribs 54 slide against the inner side of the groove 55. The entire seedling cup body 4 moves downward and rotates inside the seedling cup groove 3. A base block 56 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cup body 4, and a base column 57 is rotatably installed on the base block 56. A top column 58 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the seedling tray body 2. One end of a stiffness spring 59 is fixedly installed on the outside of the base column 57, and the other end of a stiffness spring 59 is fixedly installed on the outside of the top column 58. In addition, two sets of base blocks 56, base columns 57, top columns 58, and stiffness springs 59 are provided on the outside of each set of seedling cup grooves 3, so that the two sets of seedling cup bodies 4 can be smoothly and stably separated and reset during transplanting. During the downward movement and rotation of the seedling cup body 4, the base block 56 and base column 57 are driven to move synchronously, thereby cooperating with the top column 58 to cause the stiffness spring 59 to undergo tensile deformation. When the lower surface of the top of the seedling cup body 4 is attached to the upper surface of the bottom of the seedling tray body 2, it is pulled to both ends by the stiffness spring 59, which allows the two seedling cup bodies 4 to separate. At this time, the substrate soil and seeds inside are planted into the pre-dug soil under the action of gravity and inertia. The arc-shaped side wall and bottom of the seedling cup body 4 are provided with through ventilation holes 510. The ventilation holes 510 have a diameter of 2 mm. Together with the ventilation holes 510, a macroscopic air circulation network is formed on the seedling tray body 2, which effectively avoids local air stagnation and provides a more uniform and stable oxygen supply environment for seed germination and seedling growth, thereby improving the success rate of seedling cultivation and the consistency of seedling quality.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, an auxiliary component 6 is provided on the outer side of the seedling cup body 4. The auxiliary component 6 includes an annular groove 61. An annular groove 61 is provided on the inner side of the seedling tray body 2. One end of a spring piece 62 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the annular groove 61, and a rubber ball 63 is fixedly installed on the other end of the spring piece 62. An elastic protrusion 64 is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped outer wall of the seedling cup body 4. Multiple sets of elastic protrusions 64 are provided on a single set of seedling cup body 4. The rubber ball 63 slides against the outer side of the elastic protrusion 64, making the seedling cup body 4 more stable inside the seedling cup groove 3. When the seedling cup body 4 is placed inside the seedling cup groove 3, the elastic protrusion 64 on the outer side of the seedling cup body 4 will squeeze the rubber ball 63, thereby making the spring piece 62 move in the annular groove 64. The deformation inside the groove 61 utilizes the elastic potential energy of the spring piece 62 to make the rubber ball 63 fit between the elastic protrusions 64, thus supporting the seedling cup body 4 and making it more stable inside the seedling cup groove 3. When the seedling cup body 4 moves up and down and rotates, the deformable characteristic of the spring piece 62 will not cause motion interference, and the deformation of the elastic protrusion 64 allows it to move to the bottom of the seedling tray body 2, so that the two sets of seedling tray bodies 2 can be separated smoothly, thereby making the transplanting process more stable. In addition, there are multiple sets of spring pieces 62 and rubber balls 63 in the annular groove 61, and the multiple sets of spring pieces 62 and rubber balls 63 are arranged in an evenly spaced circular array with the center of the circular cross section of the annular groove 61 as the array center.

[0033] Working principle: First, the side walls of two seedling cup bodies 4 are attached together, and the arc-shaped grooves 51 at the top of the two seedling cup bodies 4 are joined to form a circle. Then, a stainless steel ring 52 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 51, and then the semi-circular cover 53 is snapped onto the top of the seedling cup body 4, thus assembling the two seedling cup bodies 4 into a whole. Next, the assembled seedling cup body 4 is placed inside the seedling cup groove 3 opened on the seedling tray body 2. The cylindrical cavity formed by the seedling cup bodies 4 is filled with substrate soil and seeds. The gaps between the multiple sets of seedling cup bodies 4 form a seedling air circulation channel. When the hydraulic mechanism presses down on the semi-circular cover 53, the arc-shaped ribs 54 slide and fit against the inner side of the groove 55, and the entire seedling cup body 4 moves downward inside the seedling cup groove 3 and performs self-movement. During the downward movement and rotation of the seedling cup body 4, the bottom block 56 and bottom column 57 move synchronously, which, together with the top column 58, causes the stiffness spring 59 to stretch and deform. When the lower surface of the top of the seedling cup body 4 is attached to the upper surface of the bottom of the seedling tray body 2, it is pulled to both ends by the stiffness spring 59, which allows the two seedling cup bodies 4 to separate. At this time, the substrate soil and seeds inside are planted into the pre-dug soil under the action of gravity and inertia. With the help of the ventilation holes 510, a macroscopic air circulation network is formed at the level of the seedling tray body 2, which effectively avoids local air stagnation and provides a more uniform and stable oxygen supply environment for seed germination and seedling growth, thereby improving the success rate of seedling cultivation and the consistency of seedling quality.

[0034] Furthermore, when the seedling cup body 4 is placed inside the seedling cup groove 3, the elastic protrusion 64 on the outer side of the seedling cup body 4 will squeeze the rubber ball 63, thereby causing the spring piece 62 to deform inside the annular groove 61. The elastic potential energy of the spring piece 62 makes the rubber ball 63 stuck between the elastic protrusions 64, thus providing support for the seedling cup body 4 and making it more stable inside the seedling cup groove 3. When the seedling cup body 4 moves up and down and rotates, the deformable characteristic of the spring piece 62 will not cause motion interference, and the deformation of the elastic protrusion 64 allows it to move to the bottom of the seedling tray body 2, thereby allowing the two sets of seedling tray bodies 2 to separate smoothly, thus making the transplanting process more stable.

[0035] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
