Description

A coconut coir brick soaking device for blueberry substrate production Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of blueberry substrate production technology, specifically a coconut coir brick soaking device for blueberry substrate production. Background Technology

[0002] Blueberry substrate production refers to a production method that uses artificially prepared substrates instead of traditional soil for blueberry cultivation. This process often requires the use of coconut coir bricks, a growing medium made from compressed coconut fiber and other natural fiber materials. These bricks possess excellent water retention, drainage, and aeration properties, making them an environmentally friendly and renewable growing medium. Before use, coconut coir bricks need to be soaked in a soaking device to restore them from a compressed state to a loose substrate and remove residual salts. Existing blueberry substrate production soaking devices allow the surface of the coconut coir bricks to quickly absorb water and expand during soaking, but the interior of the bricks is difficult to fully contact with water, resulting in slow water absorption and a long soaking time, leading to low soaking efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a coconut coir brick soaking device for blueberry substrate production. It solves the problem that in existing coconut coir brick soaking devices for blueberry substrate production, the surface of the coconut coir brick can quickly absorb water and expand during soaking, but the interior of the coconut coir brick is difficult to fully contact with water, absorbs water slowly, and requires a long soaking time, resulting in low soaking efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a coconut coir brick soaking device for blueberry substrate production, comprising a top plate, a connecting box fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate, a drive motor fixedly connected to one side of the connecting box, a bidirectional lead screw fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, the bidirectional lead screw being rotatably connected inside the connecting box via bearings, and a fixing rod fixedly connected inside the connecting box.

[0005] The bidirectional lead screw is threaded with two movable plates, and the bottom of the movable plates is rotatably connected to two connecting rods. There are four connecting rods, and the bottom ends of the four connecting rods are rotatably connected to a lifting plate. The bottom of the lifting plate is fixedly connected to several pointed cones, which are evenly distributed on the bottom of the lifting plate. A soaking box is provided at the bottom of the lifting plate.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the fixed rod passes through the two movable plates, and the movable plates are slidably connected to the fixed rod.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: four columns are fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate, the four columns are located at the four corners of the bottom of the top plate, and the bottom ends of the four columns are fixedly connected to the base plate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two fixing plates are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and fastening screws are threadedly connected to the fixing plates.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: four positioning holes are provided on the base plate, and four positioning posts are fixedly connected to the bottom of the soaking box.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the positioning post corresponds to the positioning hole, and the soaking box is located on the top of the base plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This coconut coir brick soaking device for blueberry substrate production comprises a cone, a double-ended screw, a connecting rod, a lifting plate, and a moving plate. In use, the coconut coir brick is placed inside the soaking box. The drive motor is then activated, rotating the double-ended screw. Because the threads on both sides of the double-ended screw are in opposite directions, and the moving plate is threaded onto the double-ended screw, the rotation of the double-ended screw causes the two moving plates to move closer together. The moving plate then pushes the lifting plate and the cone downwards via the connecting rod. When the cone contacts the coconut coir brick, it creates a hole. After creating the hole, the drive motor is activated again, causing the double-ended screw to rotate in the opposite direction, moving the two moving plates away from each other. The moving plate then pulls the lifting plate and the cone upwards via the connecting rod. At this point, water can be added to the soaking box to soak the coconut coir brick. This device uses the downward movement of the cone to create a hole in the coconut coir brick, ensuring sufficient contact between the inside of the brick and water, allowing for rapid water absorption and improving soaking efficiency.

[0013] 2. This coconut coir brick soaking device for blueberry substrate production consists of a soaking box, positioning posts, positioning holes, and fastening screws. To disassemble the soaking box, loosen the fastening screws to release its fixation. To install the soaking box, insert the positioning posts into the positioning holes and tighten the fastening screws to secure it. The device uses a modular soaking box for easy disassembly. After drilling the coconut coir bricks, the soaking box can be disassembled and placed in a more open area for water addition, improving operational convenience and flexibility. Furthermore, the positioning posts, inserted into the positioning holes, ensure the accurate placement of the soaking box during installation. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1-5, this utility model provides a technical solution: a coconut coir brick soaking device for blueberry substrate production, including a top plate 1, a connecting box 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 1, a drive motor 8 fixedly connected to one side of the connecting box 5, and a bidirectional lead screw 7 fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 8. Because of the bidirectional lead screw 7, and because the thread directions on both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 7 are opposite, and the two moving plates 12 are respectively threadedly connected to opposite thread areas, when the bidirectional lead screw 7 rotates, the moving plates 12 can move closer or further apart, ensuring the normal operation of subsequent work. The bidirectional lead screw 7 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting box 5 through bearings. Four columns 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 1, and the four columns 2 are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom of the top plate 1. A bottom plate 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the four columns 2.

[0022] A fixing rod 6 is fixedly connected inside the connecting box 5. Because of the fixing rod 6, when the moving plate 12 moves, the fixing rod 6 can limit and guide the moving plate 12, improving the stability and accuracy of the moving plate 12. The fixing rod 6 passes through the two moving plates 12, and the moving plates 12 are slidably connected to the fixing rod 6. Two moving plates 12 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 7. Two connecting rods 11 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the moving plate 12. The number of connecting rods 11 is four.

[0023] The bottom ends of the four connecting rods 11 are rotatably connected to the lifting plate 9. Several pointed cones 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 9. Because of the pointed cones 10, the downward movement of the pointed cones 10 can open holes in the coconut coir brick, so that the inside of the coconut coir brick can fully contact water, thereby enabling the inside of the coconut coir brick to quickly absorb water and improve the soaking efficiency. Several pointed cones 10 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the lifting plate 9. Two fixing plates 14 are fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate 3. Fastening screws 15 are threaded on the fixing plates 14. Because of the fastening screws 15, the soaking box 4 is fixed by tightening the fastening screws 15, which can effectively improve the stability of the soaking box 4.

[0024] The bottom of the lifting plate 9 is equipped with a soaking box 4. The base plate 3 has four positioning holes 13. The bottom of the soaking box 4 is fixedly connected with four positioning posts 16. Because of the positioning posts 16 and positioning holes 13, when installing the soaking box 4, the positioning posts 16 are inserted into the positioning holes 13 to position the soaking box 4, which can ensure the accuracy of the position of the soaking box 4. The positioning posts 16 and positioning holes 13 are correspondingly positioned, and the soaking box 4 is located on the top of the base plate 3.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] In use, place the coconut coir brick inside the soaking box 4. Then, start the drive motor 8 to rotate the bidirectional lead screw 7. Since the threads on both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 7 are in opposite directions, and the moving plate 12 is threaded onto the bidirectional lead screw 7, when the bidirectional lead screw 7 rotates, the two moving plates 12 will move closer together. The moving plates 12 will push the lifting plate 9 and the cone 10 downwards via the connecting rod 11. When the cone 10 contacts the coconut coir brick, it will create a hole in the coconut coir brick. After the hole is created, start the drive motor 8 to rotate the bidirectional lead screw 7 in the opposite direction. The two movable plates 12 are moved away from each other. The movable plates 12 will pull the lifting plate 9 and the cone 10 upward through the connecting rod 11. At this time, clean water can be added into the soaking box 4 to soak the coconut coir bricks. When it is necessary to disassemble the soaking box 4, the fastening screw 15 is loosened to release the fixed state of the soaking box 4. At this time, the soaking box 4 can be disassembled. When it is necessary to install the soaking box 4, the positioning pin 16 is first inserted into the positioning hole 13, and then the fastening screw 15 is tightened to fix the soaking box 4, thus completing the installation of the soaking box 4.
