Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of agricultural seedling equipment technology, specifically a new type of biodegradable and environmentally friendly seedling cup. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional methods of sowing vegetables (such as peppers), seedlings, and flowers involve manual broadcasting or simple seeders. Both methods struggle to precisely control the number of seeds during sowing, resulting in significant seed waste and requiring substantial manual thinning later—removing excess seedlings or cultivating seedlings before transplanting. This double waste leads to high planting costs for farmers, hinders industrialization, and results in poor consistency of agricultural products, thus impacting their competitiveness. Therefore, adopting seedling cup cultivation methods in plant seedling raising and sowing can effectively reduce seed waste, ensure good consistency in agricultural products, and lower labor costs.

[0003] However, most existing seedling cups are one-piece cups, with the entire cup body being a closed structure except for the cup mouth, or some cup bodies have drainage holes at the bottom. However, during the plant growth process, the plant root system will continuously expand, and the completely enclosed cup body will restrict the outward development of the plant root system, thus having an adverse effect on the plant growth.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a novel biodegradable and environmentally friendly seedling cup to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a novel biodegradable and environmentally friendly seedling cup, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as existing seedling cups hindering the development of plant roots.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a novel biodegradable and environmentally friendly seedling cup, comprising a cup body, a cup opening fixedly installed on the cup body, and a cup bottom fixedly installed on the cup body and disposed opposite to the cup opening.

[0007] The cup body has several lateral notches, which are evenly distributed circumferentially, and the outer edge of the lateral notches has a first fracture zone on the cup body;

[0008] The cup has several bottom notches evenly distributed circumferentially, and a second fracture zone is formed at the outer edge of each bottom notch. During seedling cultivation, soil is filled into the cup, and the seedling is planted within the soil. After initial cultivation, the seedling and cup are transferred to the field for further growth. During growth, the lateral and bottom notches ensure the flow of water and nutrients between the field soil and the cup, providing sufficient nutrients for plant growth. As the plant's root system grows, it extends into the field soil through the lateral and bottom notches. With continued growth, the first and second fracture zones are broken by the root system, accelerating the rupture of the cup and bottom, reducing constraints on subsequent plant growth. The cup body, rim, and bottom are made of humus, organic fertilizer, and organic binder, molded under high temperature, making them biodegradable. Furthermore, the broken cup body and bottom become more fragmented, facilitating degradation and further providing a better growing environment for the plants.

[0009] Preferably, for stability, the cup body is designed as an inverted trapezoidal columnar structure, and the diameter of the cup body gradually decreases from the end near the cup mouth to the end near the cup bottom, so as to avoid the seedling cup tilting and damaging the seedlings.

[0010] Preferably, to facilitate breakage, the first breakage zone extends from the lateral notch on the cup body toward the cup mouth and the cup bottom respectively, and the second breakage zone extends from the bottom notch on the cup bottom toward the outer edge and the center of the cup bottom respectively. The ends of the first and second breakage zones are connected, which makes it easier to break when stretched by plant roots and reduces resistance.

[0011] Preferably, to ensure fracture stability, the first fracture zone and the second fracture zone have the same structure. The first fracture zone and the second fracture zone are composed of a number of easy-tear notches distributed on the cup body and the cup bottom. The easy-tear notches are arranged through the cup body and the cup bottom. The number of easy-tear notches are arranged in a linear array. A connecting block is distributed between every two adjacent easy-tear notches. The connecting block is integrally formed with the cup body and the cup bottom, thereby reducing the tightness of the cup body and the cup bottom and making it more convenient.

[0012] Preferably, in order to ensure stability in the early stage of seedling cultivation, an inner cup body that is adapted to the cup body and the bottom of the cup body is inserted into the cup body. The inner cup body has several evenly distributed mesh holes, thereby ensuring smoother and more stable seedling cultivation in the early stage.

[0013] This seedling cup is made by filling the cup with soil and then planting the seedling inside. After the initial cultivation is completed, the seedling and the cup are transferred to the field to continue growing. During the growth process, the lateral and bottom notches ensure the flow of water and nutrients between the field soil and the soil inside the cup, thus providing sufficient nutrients for plant growth. As the plant's root system grows, it can extend into the field soil through the lateral and bottom notches. As it continues to grow, the first and second fracture zones will be broken by the plant's roots, thus accelerating the cracking of the cup body and bottom, reducing the restriction on the plant's subsequent growth. The cup body, rim, and bottom are made of humus, organic fertilizer, and organic binder, which are molded together under high temperature and are biodegradable. Furthermore, after cracking, the cup body and bottom become more fragmented, making it easier to participate in the degradation process, further providing a better growing environment for the plant.

[0014] This seedling cup involves first inserting the inner cup body into the outer cup body, then sealing the side notches on the outer cup body and the bottom notch on the bottom of the cup. While ensuring air permeability through the mesh, it effectively reduces soil loss, thus ensuring a smoother and more stable early seedling cultivation. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] This embodiment provides a novel biodegradable and environmentally friendly seedling cup, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, the seedling cup includes a cup body 1, a cup opening 2 fixedly installed on the cup body 1, and a cup bottom 3 fixedly installed on the cup body 1 and positioned opposite to the cup opening 2.

[0025] The cup body 1 has several lateral notches 11, which are evenly distributed circumferentially. The outer edge of the lateral notches 11 has a first fracture zone 12 on the cup body 1.

[0026] Several bottom notches 31 are provided on the bottom of the cup 3. The several bottom notches 31 are evenly distributed in the circumference. A second fracture zone 32 is provided on the outer edge of the bottom notches 31 on the bottom of the cup 3.

[0027] When using the product, fill the cup body 1 with soil, then plant the seedling in the soil of the cup body 1. After the initial cultivation is completed, transfer the seedling along with the seedling cup to the field to continue growing. During the growth process, the lateral notch 11 and the bottom notch 31 ensure the flow of water and nutrients between the field soil and the soil inside the cup body 1, thereby providing sufficient nutrients for plant growth. As the plant's root system continues to grow, it can extend into the field soil through the lateral notch 11 and the bottom notch 31. After further growth, the first fracture zone 12 and the second fracture zone 32 will be broken by the plant's root system, thereby accelerating the cracking of the cup body 1 and the cup bottom 3, reducing the constraint on the subsequent growth of the plant. The cup body 1, the cup mouth 2, and the cup bottom 3 are made of humus, organic fertilizer, and organic binder, which are integrally molded under high temperature and can be degraded. Furthermore, after cracking, the cup body 1 and the cup bottom 3 become more fragmented, making it easier for humus and organic fertilizer to participate in the degradation. After degradation, they can also provide nutrients to the soil, further providing a better growing environment for the plant.

[0028] Specifically, the cup body 1 is designed as an inverted trapezoidal columnar structure, with its diameter gradually decreasing from the end near the cup mouth 2 to the end near the cup bottom 3. During use, the gradually narrowing cup body 1 lowers the center of gravity, thereby improving the stability of the cup body 1 and preventing the seedling cup from tilting and damaging the seedlings.

[0029] More specifically, the first fracture zone 12 extends from the lateral notch 11 on the cup body 1 toward the cup mouth 2 and the cup bottom 3 respectively, and the second fracture zone 32 extends from the bottom notch 31 on the cup bottom 3 toward the outer edge and the center of the cup bottom 3 respectively, and the ends of the first fracture zone 12 and the second fracture zone 32 are connected.

[0030] In use, the interconnected first fracture zone 12 and second fracture zone 32 make it easier for the cup body 1 and cup bottom 3 to break when stretched by plant roots, thus reducing resistance.

[0031] Furthermore, the first fracture zone 12 and the second fracture zone 32 have the same structure. The first fracture zone 12 and the second fracture zone 32 are composed of a number of easy-tear notches 121 distributed on the cup body 1 and the cup bottom 3. The easy-tear notches 121 are set through the cup body 1 and the cup bottom 3. The number of easy-tear notches 121 are arranged in a linear array. A connecting block 122 is distributed between every two adjacent easy-tear notches 121. The connecting block 122 is integrally formed with the cup body 1 and the cup bottom 3.

[0032] When in use, the connecting block 122 ensures that the cup body 1 and the cup bottom 3 have a certain stability when supporting the soil, while the easy-tear notch 121 can reduce the area of ​​connection between the cup body 1 and the cup bottom 3, thereby reducing the compactness of the cup body 1 and the cup bottom 3, so that the plant roots can break through the cup body 1 and the cup bottom 3 more quickly through the easy-tear notch 121 when they grow and expand, which is more convenient.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Unlike Example 1, when seedlings are cultivated in the cup body 1 in the early stage of seedling cultivation, the side notch 11 and bottom notch 31 can easily cause soil leakage and loss in the cup body 1, which brings certain inconvenience to seedling cultivation. Therefore, an inner cup body 4 that is compatible with the cup body 1 and the cup bottom 3 is inserted into the cup body 1, and a number of evenly distributed mesh holes 41 are opened on the inner cup body 4.

[0035] When using it, first insert the inner cup body 4 into the cup body 1, and seal the side notch 11 on the cup body 1 and the bottom notch 31 on the bottom of the cup 3. While ensuring air permeability through the mesh 41, it can effectively reduce soil loss, thereby ensuring a smoother and more stable early seedling cultivation.

[0036] It should be noted that the inner cup 4 is also made of biodegradable material, and the thickness of the inner cup 4 is smaller than that of the cup body 1. After being planted in the soil, it combines with microorganisms and water more quickly, accelerates degradation, and does not affect the growth of plant roots.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
