[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0024] Example: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a seedling raising device for convenient transplanting of Polygonatum yunnanense seedlings, including a seedling tray 4 with multiple placement grooves evenly distributed throughout the seedling tray 4. Seedling cups 7 are placed in the placement grooves. The seedling cups 7 can be filled with potting soil, which is wet sand, and then selected Polygonatum yunnanense seeds (the seeds need to be peeled) are placed in them. The seeds and wet sand are mixed in a ratio of 1:10, and 0.5% of the seed weight of carbendazim wettable powder is added for disinfection. Then the mixed seeds are placed in the seedling cups 7.
[0025] The seedling cup 7 is composed of two interlocking half-cup bodies, with a top cover 6 fixedly attached to the top surface of each half-cup body. The top cover 6 is also composed of two interlocking half-covers. The half-cup bodies and half-covers are connected by existing locking blocks and slots, forming a container that can hold Polygonatum yunnanense seeds and moist sand. After the Polygonatum yunnanense seeds have germinated, the seedling cup 7 can be removed from the placement slot and separated to extract the Polygonatum yunnanense seedlings, avoiding damage to the root system from forceful pulling.
[0026] The top surface of the seedling tray 4 is provided with a drainage groove 13, and the surrounding area of the placement groove is provided with an annular groove 19. The drainage groove 13 and the annular groove 19 are connected by a through groove 18. The surface of the seedling cup 7 is provided with multiple water inlet holes 17 evenly distributed around the circumference. The water inlet holes 17 are connected to the annular groove 19. A water tank 1 is provided at the bottom of the seedling tray 4. The seedling tray 4 is fixed to the top surface of the water tank 1 by a support rod 5. A water pump 16 is installed on the water tank 1. The outlet of the water pump 16 is connected to a connecting pipe 8. The connecting pipe 8 is located in the placement groove in the middle of the seedling tray 4, and water outlet pipes 9 are installed on both sides of the connecting pipe 8.
[0027] Water is in the water tank 1. The water pump 16 can pump the water to the connecting pipe 8 and discharge it from the outlet pipe 9 to the connecting groove 14. The water flows along the connecting groove 14, passes through the through groove 18 and enters the annular groove 19. Finally, it enters the seedling cup 7 from the water inlet hole 17 for watering. The water pump 16 is controlled by an external controller.
[0028] The bottom surface of the seedling cup 7 has multiple water permeable holes, and the bottom of the seedling cup 7 extends to the bottom of the seedling tray 4. Excess water in the seedling cup 7 can pass through the water permeable holes into the surface of the water tank 1, and then pass through the filter hole 12 into the water tank 1. The water permeable holes are located at the snap-fit joint to prevent roots from entering and making separation difficult.
[0029] The top cover 6 is set on the top surface of the seedling cup 7, and the bottom inner wall of the top cover 6 is provided with a water inlet groove, which is connected to the annular groove 19 to facilitate water entry. The top cover 6 is also provided with symmetrical actuation grooves on both sides, which facilitates the removal of the seedling cup 7 as a whole from the placement groove.
[0030] A connecting groove 14 is symmetrically provided in the middle of the top surface of the seedling tray 4. The connecting groove 14 is connected to the drainage groove 13, and the water outlet pipe 9 is located at the top of the connecting groove 14. The width of the connecting groove is greater than the width of the drainage groove 13.
[0031] The top surface of the water tank 1 has a groove 15, and multiple filter holes 12 that communicate with the water tank 1 are evenly provided on the groove 15. The groove 15 can prevent water from flowing away, while the filter holes 12 can facilitate water entering the water tank 1.
[0032] The top surface of water tank 1 has four corner holes 11. An isolation frame 2 is installed on the top surface of water tank 1, and four corner holes at the bottom of the isolation frame 2 are fixed with insert rods 10, which engage with the holes 11. A water inlet pipe 3 is connected to water tank 1, which can be connected to an external water supply pipe. The isolation frame 2 has a through hole for the water inlet pipe 3 to pass through, and its size is larger than that of the seedling tray 4. When cleaning the top surface of water tank 1 is required, the isolation frame 2 can be removed from water tank 1.
[0033] During operation, multiple seedling cups 7 are placed on the seedling tray 4. The seeds of Polygonatum yunnanense can be placed in the seedling cups 7 for cultivation. After they have taken root and sprouted, the entire seedling cup 7 is removed from the seedling tray 4. Then, the seedling cup 7 can be separated to remove the Polygonatum yunnanense seedlings, avoiding strong pulling that could damage the root system.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
