Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of seedling cultivation equipment, specifically relating to an automated plant seedling cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] Seedlings are young plants that have germinated from seeds and generally grown to two pairs of true leaves, with the leaves developing into a full, rounded shape, before being transplanted to other environments. Plant seedling cultivation typically utilizes cultivation equipment, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN214282435U, which discloses a seedling cultivation chamber with an automatic heat preservation function. This cultivation chamber includes a support base, a door, and an installation box. The cultivation chamber body is mounted on top of the support base. A temperature detector is installed on one inner wall of the cultivation chamber body, and a control panel is installed on one side of the cultivation chamber body. The door is mounted on the front of the cultivation chamber body, and an observation window is installed on the front of the door. The installation box is mounted on the bottom inner wall of the cultivation chamber body, and a miniature water pump is installed on the bottom inner wall of the installation box. A cultivation plate is mounted on top of the installation box.

[0003] The aforementioned utility model incorporates an automatic watering device inside the installation box. When the water pump in this device is powered on, it sprays water from the storage tank through the nozzles, achieving automatic watering and making seedling cultivation more convenient for growers. However, the nozzles are located on the side of the cultivation chamber, limiting the water spray range. This means that seedlings further away may not receive sufficient moisture, especially after the seedlings have grown leaves. The leaves block the airflow above, preventing the roots of distant seedlings from absorbing enough water and hindering their growth.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an automated plant seedling cultivation device that can water the plants evenly. Utility Model Content
