Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedling technology, and in particular to a seedbed for Chinese medicinal herbs. Background Technology

[0002] A medicinal herb seedbed is a specific area or facility used to cultivate medicinal herb seedlings, providing suitable environmental conditions for seed germination and early seedling growth. Loose, fertile, well-drained, and sterilized soil or substrate is typically used as the cultivation base to reduce the risk of pests and diseases. The seedbed is equipped with appropriate temperature, humidity, and light conditions. Temperature and humidity can be controlled by constructing greenhouses or plastic tunnels to prevent damage to seedlings from extreme weather. Shading nets and supplemental lighting can be used to adjust light intensity and duration to meet the light requirements of different medicinal herb seedlings. Furthermore, seedbeds facilitate centralized management, allowing staff to perform sowing, fertilization, watering, weeding, and pest and disease control, improving work efficiency. Once the seedlings have grown to a certain size and are robust, they are then transplanted to the field for large-scale planting.

[0003] Currently, most commercially available medicinal herb seedling beds adopt a monolithic tray design. While this design ensures the integrity and stability of the seedling bed to a certain extent, it has significant drawbacks. In actual use, due to frequent agricultural operations, physical compression during seedling growth, and the influence of external environmental factors, certain parts of the seedling bed are easily damaged. However, due to its monolithic structure, once a part is damaged, the damaged area cannot be effectively isolated and contained. As the usage time increases, the damaged part will continue to be subjected to external forces during daily watering, fertilization, transplanting, etc., coupled with microbial erosion and natural weathering, causing the damaged area to expand and seriously affecting the normal function of the seedling bed. Moreover, as the degree of damage intensifies, the overall stability and reliability of the seedling bed will also decrease significantly, ultimately forcing the entire seedling bed to be scrapped prematurely, greatly shortening its lifespan compared to expectations. This undoubtedly increases the cost of medicinal herb seedling cultivation.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a seedbed for cultivating Chinese medicinal herbs to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a Chinese medicinal herb seedling bed with a modular design that facilitates the replacement of damaged individual seedlings and the removal of seedlings for cultivation. It is also very convenient for watering and fertilizing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A seedling bed for Chinese medicinal herbs includes a U-shaped frame, multiple seedling raising mechanisms and multiple base mechanisms. The inner walls on both sides of the U-shaped frame are provided with a first slot. Each seedling raising mechanism includes a seedling cup. A frame is fixedly fitted on the upper end of the seedling cup. A cup body retainer is fixedly provided at the center of one side of the frame. A second slot is provided at the center of the other side of the frame.

[0008] The chassis mechanism includes an internally threaded chassis with multiple drainage holes on the inner bottom surface. A pre-reserved ring is fixedly fitted around the lower end of the outer periphery of the internally threaded chassis, and multiple overflow holes are opened on the outer surface of the internally threaded chassis located inside the pre-reserved ring.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the overflow holes is filled with cotton.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper end of the internally threaded chassis is threaded onto the lower end of the seedling cup.

[0011] Furthermore, the cup body retainer is snapped into place inside the second retainer slot.

[0012] Furthermore, the outermost two sides of the frame of each of the seedling raising structures are snapped into the first slot.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention discloses a seedbed for Chinese medicinal herbs. The seedbed adopts a modular design, with each seedling unit and base unit being an independent module. Assembly is achieved through snap-fit ​​and threaded connections, facilitating replacement and maintenance, reducing operating costs, and extending service life. The independent design of the seedling units facilitates seedling removal, improving transplanting efficiency, and is particularly suitable for large-scale seedling cultivation. The base unit features drainage and overflow holes, filled with cotton, enabling efficient and slow water supply, reducing water waste. Simultaneously, a reserved ring can hold solid fertilizer, which is slowly released through water flushing, directly benefiting the roots. This invention improves fertilization efficiency by using multiple seedling raising units connected by interlocking mechanisms, resulting in a stable overall structure. The outer frame is interlocked with a U-shaped frame, further enhancing stability while facilitating disassembly and assembly to adapt to different usage scenarios. The modular design allows users to flexibly adjust the size of the seedling bed according to their needs, making it highly adaptable. Independent seedling cups effectively isolate the spread of pests and diseases, and the chassis mechanism ensures good drainage performance, preventing soil waterlogging and root rot, thus reducing the occurrence of pests and diseases. In summary, this invention solves the problems of poor overall integrity, difficult maintenance, and short service life of existing seedling beds through innovative design, and has significant economic benefits and practical value.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a seedling bed for Chinese medicinal materials, including a U-shaped frame 3, multiple seedling mechanisms 1 and multiple base mechanisms 2. The inner walls on both sides of the U-shaped frame 3 are provided with a first slot 4. The seedling mechanism 1 includes a seedling cup 101. A frame 103 is fixedly fitted on the upper end of the seedling cup 101. A cup body retainer strip 104 is fixedly provided at the center of one side of the frame 103. A second slot 102 is provided at the center of the other side of the frame 103.

[0023] The chassis mechanism 2 includes an internally threaded chassis 201. Multiple leakage holes 202 are provided on the inner bottom surface of the internally threaded chassis 201. A reserved ring 204 is fixedly sleeved on the lower part of the outer periphery of the internally threaded chassis 201. Multiple overflow holes 203 are provided on the outer surface of the internally threaded chassis 201 located inside the reserved ring 204.

[0024] Multiple overflow holes 203 are filled with cotton. The upper end of the internally threaded base 201 is threaded onto the lower end of the seedling cup 101. The cup body retaining strip 104 is engaged inside the second retaining slot 102. The outermost two side frames 103 of the multiple seedling mechanisms 1 are engaged inside the first retaining slot 4.

[0025] This technology adopts a split-type structural design, with each seedling raising mechanism 1 and chassis mechanism 2 being an independent module, assembled through snap-fit ​​and threaded connections. Specifically, the seedling raising mechanisms 1 are snapped together by cup-body locking strips 104 and slot 102, while the seedling raising mechanism 1 and chassis mechanism 2 are connected by internally threaded chassis 201 and seedling cups 101. This design allows for the replacement of only the damaged individual module when a part is damaged, rather than replacing the entire module, significantly reducing maintenance and operating costs and extending the service life of the seedling bed.

[0026] Because each seedling unit 1 is independent, individual seedling cups 101 can be easily removed when seedlings need to be transplanted without affecting the seedlings in other seedling cups 101. This design improves the ease and efficiency of operation and is particularly suitable for large-scale seedling production and transplanting.

[0027] This technology incorporates a drain hole 202 and an overflow hole 203 in the chassis mechanism 2, filled with cotton. During watering, excess water flows through the drain hole 202 into the reserved ring 204 and slowly seeps back into the seedling cup 101 through the overflow hole 203. This design not only reduces water waste but also achieves slow water supply, preventing excessive water loss and improving watering efficiency. Furthermore, solid fertilizer can be placed in the reserved ring 204, which slowly releases nutrients through water flushing, directly benefiting the seedling roots and improving fertilization efficiency while reducing fertilizer waste.

[0028] Multiple seedling raising units 1 are connected to slot 2 102 via cup-shaped retaining strips 104, ensuring overall structural stability. Simultaneously, the outermost seedling raising unit 1 is connected to slot 4 1 on the U-shaped frame 3 via frame 103, further enhancing the overall structural stability. This design ensures the stability of the seedling bed while facilitating disassembly and assembly, adapting to various usage scenarios.

[0029] Thanks to its modular design, users can flexibly adjust the size and scale of the seedbed according to actual needs, simply by increasing or decreasing the number of seedling mechanism 1 and base mechanism 2. This design improves the adaptability of the seedbed, meeting the needs of medicinal herb seedling cultivation at different scales. Each seedling cup 101 is independent, effectively isolating the spread of pests and diseases. Meanwhile, the drainage holes 202 and overflow holes 203 in the base mechanism 2 ensure good drainage performance, preventing root rot caused by waterlogging and further reducing the occurrence of pests and diseases.

[0030] Working principle: In use, this device is designed with a split structure. Each seedling mechanism 1 and the base mechanism 2 are designed separately. Multiple seedling mechanisms 1 are combined by being snapped into the second slot 102 by cup body locking strips 104. The seedling mechanism 1 and the base mechanism 2 are connected by the upper end of the internal threaded base 201 and the lower end of the seedling cup 101. After the seedling mechanism 1 is assembled, the outermost two side frames 103 can be snapped into the first slot 4 to achieve overall assembly, which is convenient for disassembly. If a single structure is damaged, it can be replaced, making it more durable.

[0031] During watering, excess water can flow from the gaps between multiple seedling units 1 into the reserved ring 204 for retention. The retained water is blocked by the cotton in the overflow hole 203 and slowly enters the seedling cup 101, making the water flow out more slowly and reducing the watering efficiency. Solid fertilizer can also be placed in the reserved ring 204. After being flushed by water, it is slowly released at the bottom of the seedling cup 101, directly fertilizing the roots, which is more efficient. It is suitable for seedling cultivation of related Chinese medicinal materials such as Angelica sinensis, Gentiana macrophylla, Bletilla striata, Saussurea costus, and Codonopsis pilosula.

[0032] After the seedlings are cultivated, the detachable base mechanism 2 can be pushed upwards from the bottom of the seedling cup 101 to easily remove the medicinal herb seedlings and soil intact.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
