Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a seedling cultivation box, and more specifically, to an automatically lifting peanut seedling cultivation box. Background Technology

[0002] Peanut seedling cultivation involves four stages: soaking, germination, growth, and freezing. During the germination stage, peanut seeds need to be soaked for 6 hours, drained, and dried for 30-60 minutes, then soaked for another 3 hours to improve the germination rate. In existing cultivation boxes, the water needs to be drained before the peanut seeds can be taken out for draining and drying. This method requires multiple water additions and drainages, resulting in low soaking efficiency and waste of water resources. Utility Model Content

[0021] See Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses an automatically lifting peanut sprout cultivation box, comprising a cultivation box 1. The cultivation box 1 has several layers of supports 2, with water troughs 3 detachably mounted on the supports 2. A water supply component 4, cooperating with the water troughs 3, is located on one side of the supports 2. A lifting frame 5, cooperating with each water trough 3, is located inside the cultivation box 1 on one side of the supports 2. Several mesh trays 6 for placing peanut seeds are detachably mounted on the lifting frame 5. A pressure plate 7, used to apply pressure to the peanut sprouts, is movable above the mesh trays 6. The peanut seeds are placed in the mesh trays for soaking and germination. The water supply component automatically supplies water to the water troughs for planting. A corresponding control component is connected to the lifting frame. After the peanuts have been soaked for a certain period, the lifting frame raises the mesh trays, stopping the soaking of the peanut seeds and draining the water from the seeds. This eliminates the need for repeated watering and draining, improving soaking efficiency, facilitating removal for drying, and effectively saving water resources.

[0022] After the peanut seeds have been dried, they are soaked again and a pressure plate is placed on top of the grid tray. When the peanuts sprout, pressure is applied to the peanut sprouts to promote their growth and development.

[0023] Meanwhile, once the peanut sprouts have grown to the predetermined time or height, the lifting frame will raise the mesh tray upwards, preventing the roots of the peanut sprouts from being soaked and stopping their growth in time. This avoids the peanut sprouts from growing excessively, which could affect their taste or even make them inedible.

[0024] In this embodiment, the cultivation box 1 includes a box body 1a, a sealed door panel 1b on the box body 1a, and several ventilation openings 1c on the side wall of the box body 1a. Both the box body 1a and the sealed door panel 1b are provided with a thermal insulation layer. The thermal insulation layer is made of polyurethane insulation material, which can be applied to the outer wall of the box body and door panel, or the sealing layer on the box body and door panel can be directly made of polyurethane insulation material. The ventilation openings provide a suitable environment for the germination and growth of peanut seedlings, preventing root rot during growth. Furthermore, to ensure the germination effect of the peanut seedlings, light can be blocked at the ventilation openings.

[0025] In this embodiment, the ventilation openings 1c are symmetrically arranged on the side walls of both sides of the box body 1a, and a convection fan 1d is provided on each ventilation opening 1c. By setting up convection fans, the air circulation effect in the cultivation box is increased, reducing the possibility of root rot during the growth process.

[0026] In this embodiment, the cultivation box 1 is equipped with position sensors 8 on its side wall that cooperate with each pressure plate 7, and a cooling assembly 9 is provided on the cultivation box 1. When the pressure plate 7 rises to cooperate with the position sensor 8, the cooling assembly 9 freezes and cools the inside of the cultivation box 1. When the peanut sprouts grow to a certain height, the pressure plate cooperates with the position sensor to activate the cooling assembly, lowering the temperature inside the cultivation box to 0-4℃, and quick-freezing the peanut sprouts for two hours, which makes the peanut sprouts crisper.

[0027] Furthermore, preferably, the spacing between adjacent layers of the support frame 2 is 18-22cm, and the position sensor 8 is positioned 14-16cm above the bottom of the water tank 3. Sufficient spacing between adjacent layers provides adequate distance for peanut sprout growth and for the lifting and lowering of the frame, while also maintaining good ventilation. The position sensor is positioned according to the finished height of the peanut sprouts, which are typically 13-15cm long.

[0028] In this embodiment, the water supply component 4 includes an inlet pipe 4a installed on the incubator 1, and a branch pipe 4b on the inlet pipe 4a that cooperates with each layer of water tank 3; a water level sensor 4c is installed in each water tank 3, and the distance between the water level sensor 4c and the bottom surface of the water tank 3 is 0.8-1.5cm; a drain pipe 4d with a valve is installed on the outer side wall of the water tank 3. The inlet pipe is connected to an external water source, and a corresponding electromagnetic switch is installed on the branch pipe of each layer. The water level sensor detects the water volume in each layer of water tank, and an appropriate amount of water is added during soaking. The water volume can be monitored in real time during the production process to replenish the water tank.

[0029] When the water tank is large, it is heavy when filled with water, making it difficult to remove the tank directly for watering after cultivation. A drain pipe is installed to facilitate drainage.

[0030] In this embodiment, the lifting frame 5 preferably includes a mesh frame 5a movably disposed above each layer of water tank 3, and a positioning ring 5b that mates with the mesh frame 5a on the outer wall of the mesh tray 6; symmetrically arranged "┌"-shaped connecting ears 5c at both ends of the mesh frame 5a, and a vertical drive assembly 10 that mates with the connecting ears 5c is provided inside the incubator 1. A clearance opening that mates with the water distribution pipe is provided at the end of the mesh frame, ensuring water supply while preventing the water distribution pipe from affecting the lifting and lowering of the mesh frame.

[0031] Further preferably, the vertical drive assembly 10 includes at least two guide rods 10a symmetrically arranged in the incubation boxes 1 on both sides of the support 2. A guide sleeve 10b is provided on the connecting ear 5c to cooperate with the guide rods 10a. A nut 10c is provided on one of the connecting ears 5c. A lead screw 10d is provided in the incubation box 1 through a bearing to cooperate with the nut 10c. A reduction motor 10e is provided on the incubation box 1 to cooperate with the lead screw 10d. The guide sleeve connects two adjacent layers of the mesh frame, ensuring synchronous lifting and lowering of the mesh frame. Moreover, the guide sleeve is relatively long and not easily tilted, ensuring smooth lifting and lowering.

[0032] During cultivation, first place the peanut seeds on a grid tray, then place the grid tray in each layer of water tank and place the water tank on the shelf, close the door, connect the water source and start watering for soaking.

[0033] After soaking for 6 hours, the geared motor drives the screw to rotate, causing the mesh frame to move upward and lift the mesh tray. The seeds are then removed, drained, and dried for 30-60 minutes. After drying, the mesh tray is placed back on the mesh frame and lowered back into the water tank for soaking and germination.

[0034] After the seeds have been soaked for a certain period of time and entered the germination stage, the convection fan is activated to ventilate the chamber. When the peanut sprouts grow to the predetermined height, the pressure plate and position sensor work together to drive the screw of the geared motor to move the mesh frame upward, lifting the mesh tray so that the roots of the peanut sprouts are no longer soaked. At the same time, the refrigeration unit is activated to cool and freeze the inside of the chamber. After freezing for 2 hours, the refrigeration unit automatically shuts off. At this point, the door can be opened to remove the cultivated peanut sprouts.

[0035] The above-described embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are only used to facilitate the illustration of the present utility model. They are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art who makes partial modifications or alterations to the technical content disclosed in the present utility model without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical features of the present utility model.
