Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floating seedling technology, and in particular to a floating seedling box for the cultivation of aquatic fruits and vegetables. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of surging global demand for healthy and green agricultural products, aquatic fruits and vegetables, with their unique nutritional value and ecological adaptability, have become a new growth point for modern agricultural development. Aquatic crops such as lotus root, water chestnut, and water spinach not only effectively purify water bodies but also possess considerable economic value. However, traditional aquatic fruit and vegetable seedling cultivation relies heavily on the natural environment and is significantly limited by seasonal, regional, and climatic conditions, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale, standardized production. Floating seedling trays, as a novel facility, simulate an aquatic ecological environment, providing a controllable growth space for aquatic fruit and vegetable seedlings, and are gradually becoming a key technological carrier driving industrial upgrading.
[0003] Floating seedling trays are typically made of lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials and float on water using their own buoyancy. The tray is divided into multiple seedling units for placing planting substrate and seeds, with perforations at the bottom to allow roots to contact the water and absorb nutrients. Some units are equipped with a simple covering film, allowing for manual opening and closing to regulate temperature and humidity. Lighting and ventilation rely on natural conditions, while a few high-end units include fixed supplemental lighting and small fans. Oxygen supply is primarily achieved through an external aerator pump, which delivers air to the water to maintain dissolved oxygen levels.
[0004] In existing technologies, some devices cannot dynamically adjust the lighting and ventilation modes according to the seedling growth stage, resulting in low photosynthetic efficiency and prolonged seedling growth cycle, which restricts the scale and quality of aquatic vegetable and fruit seedling cultivation. Therefore, a floating seedling box for aquatic vegetable and fruit cultivation is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a floating seedling box for aquatic vegetable and fruit cultivation, aiming to improve the seedling efficiency problem of some devices in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A floating seedling box for aquatic vegetable and fruit cultivation includes a water tank. Support plates are fixedly connected to the top two sides of the water tank. A swing mechanism is installed on the outside of the water tank. A connecting strip is fixedly connected to the top of the support plates. A covering mechanism is installed outside the connecting strip. Multiple partitions are fixedly connected inside the water tank. A seedling mechanism is installed outside the partitions. Four oxygen pumps are fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank. The swing mechanism includes a motor. The motor is fixedly connected to the outside of the water tank. A transmission connecting plate is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor. A fixed rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the other end of the transmission connecting plate. A transmission connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed rotating shaft.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The bottom inner side of the swing plate is rotatably connected to a fixed rotating shaft, and the outside of the fixed rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the outside of the water tank.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The supplementary component includes a water inlet pipe, which is externally fixedly connected to the inside of the swing plate, and a transmission conduit is externally fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] Multiple mist nozzles are fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission conduit, and multiple lamp heads are fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission conduit.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] The outer side of the take-up shaft is wrapped with a covering film, and a sliding strip is fixedly connected to the other end of the covering film;
[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0019] A cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank. The driving end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding bar. The outside of the sliding bar is slidably connected to the outside of the top of the water tank.
[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

Multiple stem fixing rings are fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the seedling tray, and multiple stem placement holes are opened on the inner side of the seedling tray.
[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. In this utility model, the transmission plate is rotated by a motor, which drives the transmission rod to push and pull the swing plate through the hinge point. The swing plate swings back and forth with a fixed rotating shaft as the fulcrum, effectively solving the pain points of traditional still water seedling cultivation by atomizing humidification and dynamic lighting. The fan-shaped scanning atomization coverage area is expanded, and combined with the covering film, a high-humidity microenvironment is formed, which improves water utilization. The dynamic lighting simulates the sun's trajectory, which improves photosynthetic efficiency, enhances seedling resistance and transplant survival rate, and provides efficient and intelligent large-scale seedling cultivation of aquatic fruits and vegetables.
[0024] 2. In this utility model, the sliding bar is driven by a cylinder to move to both sides of the water tank, pulling the covering film to unfold from the winding shaft.

At high temperatures, it replaces the sunshade film to reduce the intensity of light and prevent scorching, forming a closed-loop environmental humidification system. The humidity retention rate is improved. Combined with the swing mechanism, it increases efficiency and saves energy. The automated process realizes unmanned management, increases the management workload of a single person, and enhances the flexibility and practicality of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

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.
[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a floating seedling box for aquatic vegetable and fruit cultivation, including a water tank 1, which provides an aquatic environment for seedling growth. Support plates 2 are fixedly connected to the top two sides of the water tank 1. The support plates 2 are welded from aluminum alloy profiles to ensure the stability of the covering mechanism 5 and the swing mechanism 3. The swing mechanism 3 is provided on the outside of the water tank 1. A connecting strip 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 2. A groove is opened on the surface of the connecting strip 4 for installing the fixing plate 52 of the covering mechanism 5. The covering mechanism 5 is provided on the outside of the connecting strip 4. Multiple partitions 7 are fixedly connected inside the water tank 1. The seedling mechanism 6 is provided on the outside of the partitions 7. Four oxygen pumps 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 1.
[0035] The swing mechanism 3 includes a motor 31. The swing mechanism 3 is used to simultaneously realize atomized humidification and dynamic lighting, thereby improving the uniformity and effectiveness of the seedling environment. The motor 31 is externally fixedly connected to the outside of the water tank 1. The drive end of the motor 31 is fixedly connected to a transmission plate 32. The motor 31 is used to drive the transmission plate 32 to perform circular motion. The other end of the transmission plate 32 is fixedly connected to a fixed rotating shaft 33. The transmission plate 32 is a crank structure, which converts the rotational motion of the motor 31 into the reciprocating linear motion of the transmission rod 34. The hinge point fixed rotating shaft 33 is connected with a stainless steel bearing to reduce friction loss. The external side of the fixed rotating shaft 33 is rotatably connected to the transmission rod 34. The inner side of the other end of the transmission rod 34 is rotatably connected to a swing plate 36. The inside of the swing plate 36 is fixedly connected to a supplementary component 37.
[0036] A fixed rotating shaft 35 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the swing plate 36. The swing plate 36 is used to connect the replenishment component 37 to promote the mixing of the upper and lower layers of water. The fixed rotating shaft 35 is externally fixedly connected to the outside of the water tank 1. The replenishment component 37 includes an inlet pipe 371, which is used to connect to an external water source or nutrient solution tank. The inlet pipe 371 is externally fixedly connected to the inside of the swing plate 36. A transmission conduit 372 is fixedly connected to the outside of the inlet pipe 371. The transmission conduit 372 is arranged along the arc of the swing plate 36. Made of food-grade PVC, it internally circulates atomized water or nutrient solution, and externally integrates a mist nozzle 373 and a lamp head 374. Multiple mist nozzles 373 are fixedly connected to the external of the transmission conduit 372. The mist nozzles 373 are used to atomize particles, forming a fan-shaped atomization area when oscillating, which expands the coverage area compared to fixed nozzles and improves humidification efficiency. Multiple lamp heads 374 are fixedly connected to the external of the transmission conduit 372. The lamp heads 374 adopt waterproof LED modules with a red-blue spectrum. The illumination angle changes when oscillating to simulate the trajectory of natural light.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The covering mechanism 5 includes a fixed plate 52 with a built-in bearing seat to support the free rotation of the winding shaft 51. The surface is grooved to prevent the covering film 53 from slipping. The fixed plate 52 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting strip 4. The winding shaft 51 is rotatably connected inside the fixed plate 52. The covering film 53 is wound around the outside of the winding shaft 51. The covering film 53 is made of a three-layer composite material: an outer layer of anti-aging PE film, a middle layer of air insulation layer, and an inner layer of anti-fogging coating. It provides heat preservation at low temperatures and can be replaced with a silver-gray sunshade film at high temperatures. A sliding strip 55 is fixedly connected to the other end of the covering film 53. A cylinder 54 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 1. The cylinder 54 is used to push the sliding strip 55 to unfold the covering film 53. The drive end of the cylinder 54 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding strip 55. The outside of the sliding strip 55 is slidably connected to the outside of the top of the water tank 1.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The seedling raising mechanism 6 includes a seedling tray 61, which is slidably connected to the outside of a partition 7. The partition 7 is used to divide the seedling raising space, fix the seedling roots, and guide the roots to grow in an orderly manner. Multiple stem fixing rings 63 are fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the seedling tray 61. The seedling tray 61 is sized to fit the spacing of the partition 7 to prevent floating and displacement. Multiple stem placement holes 62 are opened on the inner side of the seedling tray 61. The stem fixing rings 63 have a ring structure, which restricts the horizontal growth of the roots and guides them to pass vertically downward through the bottom of the tray and enter the water to absorb nutrients, thus improving the complete detachment rate during transplanting.
[0039] Working principle: The seedling tray 61 is slid into the designated position along the partition 7, ensuring that the bottom stem fixing ring 63 and the stem placement hole 62 are within the designated position. Aquatic vegetable and fruit seeds are sown in the stem placement hole 62. After the seeds germinate, the roots can extend into the water through the placement hole. The fixing ring secures the seedling position and prevents it from floating and shaking. The oxygen pump 8 delivers oxygen to the water through the bottom air vents to maintain aerobic respiration of the roots during the seedling stage. The motor 31 drives the transmission connecting plate 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission connecting rod 34 to fix the rotating shaft 33 through the hinge point. The push-pull swing plate 36 swings back and forth around the fixed rotating shaft 35 to simulate the natural water flow, promote water flow, and avoid local hypoxia or uneven nutrient distribution. During the swing, the transmission conduit 372 moves with the swing plate 36, and the nozzle sprays water mist into the space above the seedling tray 61 to increase air humidity, which is suitable for the high humidity environment required by aquatic seedlings. At the same time, the lamp head 374 integrated on the transmission conduit 372 provides uniform light during the swing, making up for the irradiation dead corners of traditional fixed light sources and promoting seedling photosynthesis.
[0040] When heat preservation, moisture retention or wind protection is required, the cylinder 54 drives the sliding strip 55 to move to both sides of the water tank 1, pulling the covering film 53 to unfold from the winding shaft 51 and cover the entire top of the water tank 1. The covering film 53 can maintain the internal temperature in low-temperature seasons while allowing light to pass through; in high-temperature seasons, it can be replaced with a sunshade film to reduce the light intensity.
[0041] 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.
