Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forage seedling technology, specifically a seedling raising device for forage cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Forage grasses are a class of plants specifically used to feed livestock, poultry, or other herbivores, providing them with the daily nutritional needs. These plants are typically herbaceous, but also include some shrubs and vines. Forage grasses possess strong adaptability, regenerative ability, high yield, and good palatability and nutritional value. They can be harvested multiple times within a certain cycle to ensure a continuous supply of fresh or dry feed for livestock. To ensure the quality of forage grasses, it is generally necessary to conduct forage grass selection and breeding, choosing suitable varieties for planting.
[0003] When cultivating forage grass, it is necessary to water the seedling frames. Sometimes, overwatering may affect the normal development of the grass seeds. Draining the excess water is difficult and requires removing the seedling frames for manual drainage. Furthermore, the amount of water given to the seedling frames is uneven, which can lead to different grass seed development in different frames. Summary of the Invention

Draining the excess water is difficult and requires removing the seedling frame for manual drainage. Furthermore, the amount of watering is uneven among the multiple seedling frames, which leads to different grass seed development conditions in each seedling frame.

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.
[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 A seedling raising device for forage cultivation includes a seedling rack 1 and several seedling frames 2 movably mounted on the seedling rack 1. A water tank 3 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the seedling rack 1, and a water pump 4 is fixedly mounted at the upper end of the water tank 3. Several placement frames 11 are fixedly mounted at equal intervals on the seedling rack 1. A guide groove 12 is opened on both sides of the placement frame 11. The seedling frames 2 are placed in the placement frame 11. A sliding groove 21 is opened on the side wall of the seedling frame 2. A waterproof piston 22 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 21. The sliding groove 21 is connected to the guide groove 12. Movable components 5 are provided on the side wall of each of the placement frames 11.
[0022] In this embodiment: When using this device for forage seedling cultivation, seedling soil can be filled into the seedling frame 2 and grass seeds can be sown. After completing the above operations, the seedling frames 2 can be placed in the placement frame 11 in sequence. Water from the water tank 3 is pumped into each seedling frame 2 by the water pump 4 for watering. When the water content in the seedling frame 2 is sufficient and there is standing water, the waterproof piston 22 on the side can be slid upward along the slide groove 21. When sliding, the inside of the seedling frame 2 is connected to the guide groove 12, and excess water can be discharged outward along the slide groove 21. When using this forage cultivation seedling device, it is convenient to water the seedling frame 2. When there is standing water in the seedling frame 2, it can be discharged outward in time through the slide groove 21 and the guide groove 12 to prevent excessive water from affecting the growth and development of forage and to facilitate the control of the water content in the seedling frame 2.
[0023] Example 2: This example is an improvement on Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 - Figure 5 Water pipes 13 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the seedling rack 1. A connecting pipe 41 is fixedly installed between the input end of the water pump 4 and the water tank 3. A diversion pipe 42 is fixedly installed at the output end of the water pump 4. The diversion pipe 42 is connected to the water pipes 13 on both sides. The water pump 4 can draw water from the water tank 3 into the inside of the seedling rack 1 through the connecting pipe 41, the diversion pipe 42 and the water pipes 13.
[0024] The seedling frame 2 has a water inlet trough 24 inside, and several water outlet holes 23 are equally spaced on the seedling frame 2. A connection hole 25 is opened on one side wall of the seedling frame 2, and several water inlet holes 26 are equally spaced on the outside of the connection hole 25. Water can be supplied to the water inlet trough 24 inside the seedling frame 2 through the connection hole 25.
[0025] The side wall of the water pipe 13 is provided with several connecting grooves 14 at equal intervals. Each connecting groove 14 is provided with a limit groove 15. The movable component 5 includes a block 51 that is slidably connected in the connecting groove 14. The block 51 can seal the connecting groove 14.
[0026] A fixing rod 52 is fixedly installed at one end of the blocking block 51, and a slider 53 is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing rod 52. A spring 54 is fixedly installed between the side wall of the slider 53 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 15. The spring 54 is sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 52. The spring 54 pulls the blocking block 51 to naturally seal the connecting groove 14 when there is no external force.
[0027] A fixing block 55 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 15. The fixing block 55 is slidably connected to the slider 53. In its natural state, the fixing block 55 and the slider 53 are slidably connected and together form a cylindrical whole, which has a certain degree of sealing.
[0028] In this embodiment: When using this device for forage seedling cultivation, the seedling frame 2 can be filled with potting soil and grass seeds first, and then the seedling frame 2 can be placed into the placement frame 11. When placed, the water inlet 26 can slide along the connecting groove 14 and push the slider 53 into the limiting groove 15. When pushed, the slider 53 is pushed away from the fixing block 55. When the slider 53 moves, it drives the fixing rod 52 and the block 51 to move. At this time, the block 51 slides out from the connecting groove 14. At this time, the water supply pipe 13, the connecting groove 14, the limiting groove 15, the water outlet 26, the connecting hole 25 and the water inlet groove 24 are in a connected state. The water in the water tank 3 can be pumped into the seedling frame 2 by the water pump 4. When the device is in use, the position where the seedling frame 2 is placed can be automatically connected to the water supply pipe 13 through the movable component 5. If the seedling frame 2 is not placed, there will be no water flow output at this position when water is supplied by the water pump 4, and the blockage is automatically closed.
