Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forestry seedling technology, specifically to a forestry seedling box that is easy to water. Background Technology

[0002] Seedling cultivation refers to the nurturing of seedlings in nurseries, hotbeds, or greenhouses in preparation for transplanting into the ground. It can also refer to the stage in which various organisms, from their juvenile stage, undergo artificial protection until they can survive independently. Seedling trays are commonly used to cultivate seedlings of crops, fruit trees, flowers, and forest trees. These trays contain nutrient-rich potting soil and other substrates, providing optimal nutrition and environmental conditions for seedling growth and development. They are particularly suitable for crops and trees that are intolerant of transplanting, or for plants whose seedlings are prone to death. Once seedlings are planted in seedling trays, they typically require regular watering, but water... The amount of water should not be too much or too little. Too much water can easily cause the roots of the seedlings to rot, while too little water can easily cause the seedlings to wither. It is not easy to control the amount and timing of watering for seedlings, especially when a large number of seedlings are planted in the seedling box. It is difficult to water every part of the seedlings by hand. If the seedlings are of different varieties, the amount of water they need will also be different, which will lead to different watering intervals. This will further increase the difficulty of watering the seedlings, increase the chance of the seedlings dying due to improper watering, and increase the labor intensity of the workers.

[0017] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a convenient forestry seedling box for water replenishment, including: a box body 1, an observation plate 12 fixedly connected to the surface of the box body 1, a liquid storage box 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the box body 1, and fixed plates 4 symmetrically connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the box body 1, with a water replenishment box 3 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed plates 4. The upper surface of the water replenishment box 3 has symmetrically formed fitting holes, and the bottom of the inner cavity of the water replenishment box 3 is movably connected to a main screw 13 via a sealed bearing. A limiting plate 16 is screwed to the upper end of the main screw 13, and a float plate 17 is sleeved at the lower end of the main screw 13. Simultaneously, the end face of the water replenishment box 3 is connected to the infusion pipe provided in the liquid storage box 2 via a water inlet pipe. The upper surface of the fixed plates 4 is movably connected to a seedling tray 5 via a positioning plate 6. A partition plate 10 is fixedly connected inside the seedling tray 5. A through hole is formed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the seedling tray 5 corresponding to the position of the fitting hole. The through hole is fixedly connected to an absorbent cotton strip 7 via a plastic sleeve 8, and the lower end of the absorbent cotton strip 7 passes through the fitting hole and is located inside the water replenishment box 3.

[0018] In this embodiment, seedlings of the same variety are planted in the seedling troughs 9 divided within the same seedling tray 5. Rotating the main screw 13 corresponding to the water supply box 3 below the seedling tray 5 causes the screw-connected limiting plate 16 to move to a suitable height. After the seedlings are planted, the box door is closed, and the liquid pump built into the liquid storage box 2 is activated via the PLC component. The liquid pump pumps water from the liquid storage box 2 into different water supply boxes 3 via inlet and outlet pipes. When the liquid level in the water supply box 3 rises, the float 17 inside the water supply box 3 rises synchronously with the liquid level. When the float 17 abuts against the trigger 15 on the lower surface of the corresponding limiting plate 16, the trigger 15 sends a signal to the electrically connected PLC component. Then, the PLC component will close the solenoid valve set in the corresponding liquid inlet pipe, so that the water in the liquid storage box 2 will no longer flow into the water replenishment box 3, realizing flexible adjustment of the water volume in the water replenishment box 3. When all the triggers 15 in the seedling box are triggered, the PLC component will automatically shut off the electrically connected liquid pump, thereby completing one water replenishment treatment inside the water replenishment box 3. The water inside the water replenishment box 3 will flow into the corresponding seedling trough 9 through the absorbent cotton strip 7, thereby automatically moistening the soil filled in the seedling trough 9, thus ensuring that the seedlings can be in a soil environment with suitable moisture, and helping to improve the survival rate of the seedlings. Workers only need to observe and start the liquid pump in the liquid storage box 2 periodically to achieve convenient water replenishment treatment and reduce the labor intensity of workers.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the box body 1 has an overall U-shaped structure, while the observation plate 12, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface and the back of the box body 1, has an L-shaped structure, and the box door hinged to the front of the box body 1 has a rectangular structure. Both the observation plate 12 and the box door are made of transparent material.

[0020] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 Both the observation panel 12 and the box door are made of transparent material, which makes it easy for workers to observe the growth status of the seedlings inside the seedling box in real time and can also help enhance the light effect on the seedlings. In addition, the surface of the box door and the observation panel 12 are also breathable, which can help enhance the survival rate of the seedlings.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the fixing plate 4 fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the box 1 has a rectangular structure. Multiple sets of positioning plates 6 are fixedly connected at equal intervals along the length direction on the side of the upper surface of the fixing plate 4 closest to the inner side of the box 1. The multiple sets of positioning plates 6 are all long strip structures, and the upper end of the positioning plate 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the box 1 by a buckle.

[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The setting of the fixing plate 4 allows the seedling tray 5 to be easily installed inside the box 1, while the setting of the positioning plate 6 can not only help enhance the convenience of loading and unloading the seedling tray 5 and the stability after installation, but also help reduce the difficulty of embedding the plastic sleeve 8 into the corresponding fitting hole.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the water replenishment box 3 has a cuboid structure, with scale lines on the outer side of the water replenishment box 3, and the surrounding plate 11 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the water replenishment box 3 has a U-shaped structure. Multiple sets of fitting holes are opened parallel and equally spaced on the upper surface of the water replenishment box 3, and all sets of fitting holes have a cylindrical structure. At the same time, the opening at the upper end of the fitting hole has a frustum-shaped structure.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The water replenishment box 3 is made of transparent material. The scale lines on the surface of the water replenishment box 3 make it easy for workers to confirm the movement position of the limit plate 16 in real time. This allows workers to adjust the water storage volume inside the water replenishment box 3, thereby ensuring that the time it takes for different water replenishment boxes 3 inside the seedling box to run out of water is within a roughly the same range. This also makes it easy for the liquid storage tank to replenish water at the same time, helping to reduce the overall energy consumption of the device. At the same time, the structure of the upper opening of the fitting hole can help reduce the difficulty of embedding the plastic sleeve 8 and the absorbent cotton strip 7 into the water replenishment box.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the limiting frame 14 fixedly connected inside the water replenishment box 3 has a U-shaped structure, and the upper end of the main screw 13 is movably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the limiting frame 14 through a sealed bearing. The limiting plate 16 has a rectangular structure, and the two ends of the limiting plate 16 are provided with limiting grooves corresponding to the positions of the vertical plate of the limiting frame 14. At the same time, the trigger 15 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the limiting plate 16.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The setting of the limit frame 14 can not only help enhance the stability of the main screw 13 when rotating, but also help enhance the stability of the limit plate 16 when moving, and prevent the limit plate 16 from rotating synchronously with the main screw 13. The trigger 15 is a waterproof model.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the float plate 17 has a rectangular structure, the through hole in the middle of the float plate 17 is larger than the size of the main screw 13, and the float plate 17 is attached to the inner side of the limiting frame 14 on both sides, while the weight reduction groove inside the float plate 17 has a U-shaped structure.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The size of the through hole in the float plate 17 allows the float plate 17 to move up and down along the main screw 13. The edges at the openings at both ends of the through hole are arc-shaped, which reduces the chance of jamming between the float plate 17 and the threaded structure of the main screw 13, ensuring that the float plate 17 can move normally with the liquid surface. The opening of the weight reduction groove can further enhance the buoyancy of the float plate 17 on the liquid surface.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning groove is provided on the outer side of the seedling tray 5 corresponding to the position of the positioning plate 6. The inside of the seedling tray 5 is evenly divided into multiple groups of seedling troughs 9 by the partition plate 10. The partition plate 10 has a grid-like structure, and the number and position of the seedling troughs 9 correspond one-to-one with the fitting holes. The bottom of the seedling trough 9 is fixedly connected to the plastic sleeve 8 through the through hole, which has a cylindrical structure. At the same time, multiple groups of drainage holes are evenly provided at the bottom of the seedling trough 9, and a filter cloth is laid at the bottom of the seedling trough 9.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The filter cloth effectively prevents soil erosion in the seedling trough 9 and also prevents accidental water accumulation in the seedling trough 9, thus helping to improve the survival rate of seedlings. At the same time, the shaping sleeve 8 helps to reduce the accidental loss of water in the absorbent cotton strip 7 and also helps to improve the efficiency of the absorbent cotton strip 7 in embedding into the corresponding fitting hole of the water replenishment box 3.

[0031] This utility model of a convenient water-replenishing forestry seedling box, through the cooperation of a limiting frame 14, a main screw 13, a limiting plate 16, a trigger 15, a float 17, a plastic sleeve 8, and absorbent cotton strips 7, enables the seedling box to automatically replenish water according to the different water consumption of different seedlings, thereby helping to improve the survival rate of seedlings and reducing the difficulty of water replenishment operations for workers. At the same time, the PLC component, liquid pump, solenoid valve, and trigger 15 are all common brand models on the market.
