Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crop planting technology, specifically to a light-transmitting and efficiency-enhancing device for reflective film on cherry tomato planting ridges. Background Technology
[0002] In agricultural production, plastic film mulching technology has been widely used as an important measure to increase yields. While traditional plastic film has played a role in heat preservation, moisture retention, and weed suppression, it also has many limitations.
[0003] While ordinary transparent mulch film allows for good light transmission and can increase soil temperature, it can also cause the soil to absorb excessive heat in summer or high-temperature environments, leading to overheating. Excessively high soil temperatures can scorch crop roots, hindering the absorption of water and nutrients, resulting in poor crop growth, root rot, and severely impacting crop yield and quality.
[0004] While black plastic mulch effectively suppresses weed growth and controls soil moisture, its high heat absorption properties can further raise soil temperatures during hot seasons, exacerbating the adverse effects of high temperatures on crops. Furthermore, black mulch has poor light reflection, hindering the improvement of crop lighting conditions and failing to meet crops' need for uniform light. This impedes sufficient photosynthesis and limits the improvement of crop quality.
[0005] To address the problems raised in the background art, those skilled in the art have proposed a light-transmitting and efficiency-enhancing device using reflective film on cherry tomato planting ridges. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a reflective film light-transmitting and efficiency-enhancing device for cherry tomato planting ridges. The film has a double-sided structure, with one side being silver and the other black. The silver and black sides are tightly combined to form a complete film structure, achieving complementary advantages. In practical application, the silver side faces upwards towards the sun, and the black side faces downwards towards the soil.
[0007] The cherry tomato planting ridge reflective film light transmission enhancement device includes a mulch film body. The mulch film body is made entirely of polyethylene (PE), with a thickness of 0.025mm and a width of 1.2 meters. It is manufactured using an extrusion blow molding process, and the light transmittance of the mulch film body is 10% or less. The mulch film body has a double-sided structure, with one side having a silver coating and the other side having a black coating. The silver coating and the black coating are tightly bonded to form a complete mulch film structure. In actual installation applications, the silver coating side faces upwards towards the sun, and the black coating side faces downwards towards the soil.
[0008] Preferably, the tensile strength of the main body of the mulch film reaches 150%.
[0009] Preferably, when the silver coating faces upward toward the sun, its high reflectivity effectively reflects most of the sunlight, reducing the heat absorbed by the soil and lowering the ground temperature. In summer or high-temperature environments, it can prevent high temperatures from scorching crop roots and prevent root rot caused by excessively high ground temperatures. At the same time, the reflected light can drive insects away from the planting area.
[0010] Preferably, the ultraviolet band or fluorescent component reflected by the silver coating has the function of repelling pests; when the silver coating is applied to tomato and cucumber crops with the face upward, it can reduce the risk of aphid and whitefly infestation and reduce the incidence of pests and diseases.
[0011] Preferably, the upward-facing silver coating reflects light so that the crop leaves and the back of the fruit are evenly illuminated, promoting crop photosynthesis and enhancing fruit coloring. In greenhouse cultivation, the upward-facing silver coating increases the light intensity between crop rows, making the strawberry and tomato fruits more vibrant in color.
[0012] Preferably, when the black coating faces downwards towards the soil, it has the function of inhibiting weed growth, effectively preventing soil erosion, and controlling soil moisture.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This utility model's silver-black reflective mulch film device, with the silver side facing upwards, efficiently reflects most of the sunlight, significantly reducing soil heat absorption and precisely regulating soil temperature. During hot seasons, it effectively prevents soil overheating and scorching of crop roots, ensuring normal root absorption of water and nutrients, creating a suitable growth temperature environment for crops, and significantly improving crop growth stability and resistance, laying a solid foundation for high yield and quality. Simultaneously, the black side, facing downwards and adhering to the soil, uses its heat-absorbing properties to suppress weed growth, reducing competition between weeds and crops for nutrients and water, lowering weeding costs and labor intensity, and creating a favorable field environment for crop growth.
[0015] 2. The silver surface of this mulch film device reflects light evenly, covering crop leaves and the undersides of fruits, thus improving the problem of uneven light distribution common in traditional mulch films. Sufficient and uniform light promotes photosynthesis, enabling crops to synthesize more organic matter, providing ample energy for growth and development, and ultimately increasing crop yield. For fruit crops such as strawberries and tomatoes, uniform light also promotes fruit coloring, resulting in brighter colors and improved taste and nutritional value. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0020] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 As shown:
[0021] Example 1: According to Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a reflective film light transmission enhancement device for cherry tomato planting ridges, including a mulch film body 1. The mulch film body 1 is made entirely of polyethylene (PE), with a thickness of 0.025 mm and a width of 1.2 meters. It is manufactured using an extrusion blow molding process, and the light transmittance of the mulch film body 1 is 10% or less. The mulch film body 1 has a double-sided structure, with one side having a silver coating 2 and the other side having a black coating 3. The silver coating 2 and the black coating 3 are tightly bonded to form a complete mulch film structure. In actual laying applications, the silver coating 2 faces upwards towards the sun, and the black coating 3 faces downwards towards the soil. The tensile strength of the mulch film body 1 reaches 150%.
[0022] The main material of this silver-black reflective mulch film device is polyethylene (PE). Polyethylene has many excellent properties: it is flexible and can adapt to different terrain changes, and is not easy to break due to bending and stretching during the laying process; it has strong chemical corrosion resistance, which can resist the erosion of various chemicals in the soil and extend the service life of the mulch film; it has good processing performance, and can be easily made into mulch films with the required shape and performance through specific processes.
[0023] The main body of the mulch film is made of polyethylene (PE), which is characterized by its excellent flexibility, strong chemical resistance, and good processing performance. Its excellent flexibility means it can adapt to different terrain changes and is not easily torn due to bending or stretching during installation.
[0024] The silver coating contains metallic particles (such as aluminum powder) or other substances that reflect light. These components enable the silver coating to efficiently reflect sunlight, reducing the heat absorbed by the soil and thus lowering ground temperature.
[0025] The black coating is composed of highly light-absorbing pigments (such as carbon black) and binders. The carbon black and other pigments enable the black coating to absorb light and convert it into heat energy, which is the basis for its complementary advantages when used as the base layer of the mulch film in conjunction with the silver coating.
