Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of seedling hardening equipment, and in particular to a seedling hardening device for Dendrobium officinale cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Dendrobium officinale, an orchid with extremely high medicinal value, has seen widespread attention and development in its artificial cultivation techniques in recent years. In the cultivation process of Dendrobium officinale, the hardening-off stage plays a crucial role in the quality of the seedlings and their subsequent growth. Existing Dendrobium seedling cultivation equipment generally adopts a multi-layer planting tray setup. While this structural design effectively utilizes space, after spraying, residual water on the planting trays drips downwards. Due to the close arrangement of the planting trays, the water dripping from the upper layers inevitably contaminates the Dendrobium seedlings in the lower layers. This water may carry harmful substances such as pathogens, impurities, and fertilizer residues, easily leading to the spread of pests and diseases between different layers of Dendrobium seedlings. This severely affects the healthy growth of the seedlings, reduces their survival rate and quality, and consequently increases planting costs and risks. Furthermore, good airflow within the seedling cultivation equipment is crucial for the growth of Dendrobium seedlings. Air circulation not only provides sufficient oxygen to the seedlings and promotes their respiration but also helps regulate the temperature and humidity within the equipment, reducing the environment conducive to pathogen growth. However, existing seedling cultivation equipment often lacks proper airflow guidance, resulting in poor air circulation in some areas and uneven temperature and humidity distribution, which is also detrimental to the healthy cultivation of Dendrobium officinale seedlings. Based on this, a seedling hardening device for Dendrobium officinale cultivation was designed, which can effectively collect excess water stains from each layer to prevent cross-contamination, and also has a good air conduction function to ensure uniform airflow inside the device. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a seedling hardening device for Dendrobium officinale cultivation, which can effectively collect excess water stains in each layer to prevent cross-contamination, and has a good air guiding function to ensure uniform airflow inside the device.
[0004] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A seedling hardening device for Dendrobium officinale cultivation includes a fixed frame, a support layer, a planting tray, and a flow guiding mechanism. The fixed frame has a rectangular frame structure, and several support layers are provided on the upper part of the fixed frame. The planting tray and the flow guiding mechanism are arranged inside the support layers. The flow guiding mechanism includes a flow guiding channel, a first water guiding pipe, a three-way connector, a second flow guiding pipe, and a water collection tank. The flow guiding channel has a flow guiding channel inside. One end of the flow guiding channel is connected to the second flow guiding pipe through the first water guiding pipe. The bottom of the second flow guiding pipe is connected to the water collection tank through a third flow guiding pipe to form a water return structure. The second flow guiding pipe is connected to the fixed frame through a first connecting block. A first plant growth lamp is provided at the bottom of the flow guiding channel. The planting tray is arranged on the upper part of the flow guiding channel.
[0006] Optionally, the planting tray is a rectangular cavity structure with an opening at the top, and the bottom of the planting tray is provided with several drainage holes.
[0007] Optionally, a conical chamber is formed inside the flow guide groove, and the inner wall of the conical chamber is inclined in a gradually narrowing manner along the height direction; a flow guide channel is set at the bottom center of the conical chamber, and one end of the flow guide channel is connected to a three-way connector on the second flow guide pipe.
[0008] Optionally, it also includes an air guiding mechanism, which includes a support frame, an air guiding pump, a first air guiding pipe, a second air guiding pipe, and jet heads. The support frame is located at one end of the fixed frame, and the air guiding pump is installed inside the support frame. The air guiding pump is connected to each jet head through the first air guiding pipe and the second air guiding pipe, and the jet heads extend into the internal cavity of the fixed frame.
[0009] Optionally, the second air guide tube is mounted on one end of the fixed frame via a connecting bracket, and a connector is provided on the second air guide tube, which is connected to the jet head via a third air guide tube.

[0011] Optionally, a second connecting block is provided at the bottom of the fixing frame, and the second connecting block is provided with several limiting holes.
[0012] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0013] 1. This utility model has multiple support layers on the upper part of the fixed frame to prevent multiple planting trays from being used to cultivate Dendrobium seedlings at the same time. In addition, for the convenience of water diversion, a diversion groove is set at the bottom of each support layer to collect the water dripping from the planting trays after spraying and to guide it into the water collection trough. This can effectively collect excess water from each layer and prevent cross-contamination.
[0014] 2. This utility model has an air guiding mechanism on one side of the fixed frame. The air guiding pump evenly introduces the outside air into the seedling hardening area to realize the circulation of airflow. This can provide sufficient oxygen for the seedlings, promote their respiration, and also help regulate the temperature and humidity inside the equipment, reducing the environmental conditions for the growth of pathogens.
[0015] 3. In this utility model, a second connecting block is provided at the bottom of the fixing frame, which can be connected to other fixing frames as needed, making it convenient for operators to adjust according to the needs of seedling hardening. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.
[0024] like Figures 1-6As shown, a seedling hardening device for Dendrobium officinale cultivation includes a fixed frame 1, a supporting layer 2, a planting tray 3, and a flow guiding mechanism 4. The fixed frame 1 has a rectangular frame structure, and several supporting layers 2 are provided on the upper part of the fixed frame 1. The planting tray 3 and the flow guiding mechanism 4 are arranged inside the supporting layer 2. The flow guiding mechanism 4 includes a flow guiding channel 401, a first water guiding pipe 407, a three-way connector 408, a second flow guiding pipe 406, and a water collection tank 411. The flow guiding channel 401 is provided with a flow guiding channel 402. One end of the flow guiding channel 402 is connected to the second flow guiding pipe 406 through the first water guiding pipe 407. The bottom of pipe 406 is connected to water collection tank 411 through third guide pipe 410 to form a return water structure; the second guide pipe 406 is connected to fixed frame 1 through first connecting block (413); the bottom of guide channel 401 is provided with first plant growth light 404; the planting tray 3 is set on the upper part of guide channel 401; the planting tray 3 is a rectangular cavity structure with an open top, and the bottom of planting tray 3 is provided with several water permeable holes; a conical cavity is formed inside guide channel 401, and the inner wall 412 of the conical cavity is gradually inclined along the height direction; the guide channel 402 is set at the bottom center of the conical cavity 11, and one end of the guide channel 402 is connected to the three-way connector 408 on the second guide pipe 406.
[0025] It should be noted that in the field of Dendrobium seedling cultivation, the multi-layer planting tray structure, with its excellent space utilization, is widely used in various seedling facilities, making significant contributions to increasing the number of seedlings cultivated per unit area. However, with the deepening of planting practice, this structure has revealed obvious drawbacks. After the spraying operation, water stains inevitably remain on the surface of the planting trays. Due to gravity, these water stains drip downwards. The close arrangement of the multi-layer planting trays causes the water stains dripping from the upper layer to fall directly onto the planting trays below, contaminating the carefully cultivated Dendrobium seedlings in the lower layer. Based on this, a device was designed to recover water stains from each layer to prevent cross-contamination during seedling hardening.
[0026] It should be further explained that the upper part of the fixing frame 1 is provided with multiple bearing layers, and each bearing layer 2 is provided with a flow guiding mechanism 4, which can collect the water dripping from the bottom of the planting tray 3, thereby preventing it from dripping into the planting tray below and causing cross-contamination. The flow guiding channel 401 is located at the bottom of the bearing layer 2, and the inside of the flow guiding channel 401 forms a conical cavity. The water is concentrated into the flow guiding channel 402 through the inner wall 412 of the conical cavity, and then guided into the interior of the second flow guiding pipe 406 from the flow guiding channel 402, thereby achieving centralized flow guiding and avoiding water dripping.
[0027] like Figures 1-6As shown, it also includes an air guiding mechanism 5, which includes a support frame 501, an air pump 502, a first air guiding pipe 503, a second air guiding pipe 504, and a jet head 507. The support frame 501 is located at one end of the fixed frame 1. The air pump 502 is located inside the support frame 501. The air pump 502 is connected to each jet head 507 through the first air guiding pipe 503 and the second air guiding pipe 504. The jet head 507 extends into the internal cavity of the fixed frame 1. The second air guiding pipe 504 is located at one end of the fixed frame 1 through a connecting bracket 505. A connector is provided on the second air guiding pipe 504, and the connector is connected to the jet head 507 through a third air guiding pipe 506.
[0028] It should be noted that the air guiding mechanism 5 is designed to circulate the gas in the seedling hardening area. The purpose of this design is that the air circulation not only provides sufficient oxygen to the seedlings and promotes their respiration, but also helps to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the equipment and reduce the environmental conditions for the growth of pathogens. The support frame 501 is equipped with an air guiding pump 502, which can introduce gas into the seedling hardening area through the first air guiding pipe 503 and the second air guiding pipe 504 and the jet nozzle 507. Moreover, multiple jet nozzles 507 are designed to guide air in multiple locations at the same time, thereby providing sufficient oxygen to the seedlings and facilitating their growth.
[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a second plant growth light 7 is provided on the top of the fixing frame 1; a second connecting block 6 is provided on the bottom of the fixing frame 1, and several limiting holes are provided on the second connecting block 6.
[0030] It should be noted that the plant growth lights can provide a light source for the growth of Dendrobium seedlings, and the fixing frame 1 can be equipped with sprinkler pipes as needed. Based on the diversion pump, external water sources are diverted to achieve automated sprinkler spraying for each layer. This is existing technology and can be added as needed.
[0031] It should be further explained that the bottom of the fixing frame 1 is provided with a second connecting block 6, which can be connected to other fixing frames through the internal limiting hole, making it convenient for operators to adjust and install, thereby increasing the amount of seedlings.
[0032] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
