Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of maize cultivation technology, and in particular to a maize seed experimental comparative cultivation box. Background Technology

[0002] Corn is an annual herbaceous plant of the Poaceae family, native to Central America, and has now become one of the most widely cultivated food crops in the world. Corn seeds are the reproductive bodies of corn, and corn seed incubators are specialized equipment for artificially controlling environmental conditions, used for corn seed germination, seedling growth, and experimental research.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN217936608U discloses a cultivation device for comparative experiments on corn. Existing comparative corn cultivation devices can only compare the exposed parts of the corn, failing to observe the root system without affecting normal growth, resulting in incomplete comparative experiments. Furthermore, prolonged experiments can loosen the soil, making it impossible to simulate the compaction of external soil over a long period, causing the corn cultivation to not conform to the external production environment. Therefore, the comparative cultivation device features transparent sides on both sides of the corn cultivation plate, allowing for easy observation of corn growth changes by planting corn seeds in these areas. This enables observation of the corn root system without affecting normal growth, resulting in a more comprehensive comparison. Additionally, the opaque areas of the corn cultivation plate can be planted normally.

[0004] Although the aforementioned cultivation device utilizes a transparent cultivation box for clearer observation of the corn, the corn is planted at the bottom inside the box during cultivation. Due to the obstruction of the outer shell, the corn inside the box can only be observed from outside the box door. This observation method creates a certain distance barrier between the observer and the corn, making it difficult for the observer to get close enough to observe the growth status of the corn. Furthermore, the outer shell also makes it inconvenient to sow and fertilize the corn, increasing the inconvenience of operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a corn seed experimental comparative cultivation box.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] As attached Figure 1-7 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model is provided: a corn seed experimental comparative cultivation box, including a box shell 1. Two blocking doors 2 are hinged to one side of the box shell 1 to protect the corn during the seed stage. A first threaded hole 3 is opened on one side of the blocking door 2. A first stud 4 is threaded inside the first threaded hole 3 to facilitate fixing the blocking door 2. A knob 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the first stud 4. A telescopic component is provided inside the box shell 1.

[0034] The telescopic assembly includes two limiting grooves 6, which are opened on both sides of the inner wall of the box shell 1. A limiting block 7 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 6 to limit the movement of the cultivation box 8. The cultivation box 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting block 7 for the cultivation of corn. Multiple ventilation holes 9 are opened on the lower surface of the cultivation box 8.

[0035] As attached Figure 5 As shown, a waste collection frame 10 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cultivation box 8. Connecting grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the box shell 1. Connecting blocks 12 are slidably connected inside the connecting grooves 11. Steel wire ropes 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting blocks 12. The steel wire ropes 14 facilitate pulling the connecting blocks 12 to move them. Two rope take-up reels 13 are rotatably connected to both sides of the box shell 1 for taking in and taking out the steel wire ropes 14. One end of the steel wire rope 14 is set inside the rope take-up reel 13. A synchronous pulley 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the rope take-up reel 13. A synchronous belt 16 is provided outside the two synchronous pulleys 15 to facilitate driving the rope take-up reels 13 on both sides to rotate synchronously. Stepper motors 25 are fixedly installed on both sides of the box shell 1. The two synchronous pulleys 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the output ends of the two stepper motors 25.

[0036] As attached Figure 1 As shown, protective shells 24 are fixedly connected to both sides of the housing 1. The protective shells 24 are set outside the two rope winding reels 13 and the stepper motor 25, and are used to protect the rope winding reels 13, the stepper motor 25, the synchronous pulley 15 and the synchronous belt 16.

[0037] As attached Figure 5 As shown, an adjustment assembly is provided on the upper surface of the housing 1. The adjustment assembly includes an adjustment groove 17, which is opened inside the upper surface of the housing 1 to facilitate the installation of the adjustment shell 18.

[0038] As attached Figure 7 As shown, an adjusting shell 18 is slidably connected inside the adjusting groove 17 to raise the box shell 1. A top cover 19 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the adjusting shell 18, and two lighting lamps 20 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top cover 19 to facilitate the provision of light conditions for the corn.

[0039] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a second threaded hole 21 is provided on one side of the box shell 1. The internal thread of the second threaded hole 21 is connected to a second stud 22, which facilitates the fixing of the adjusting shell 18 under the action of pressing against one side of the adjusting shell 18. A knob 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the second stud 22. The box shell 1, the adjusting shell 18 and the blocking door 2 are all made of transparent plastic, which facilitates the observation of the growth status of the corn inside.

[0040] Working principle: When in use, soil is placed inside the two cultivation boxes 8, and then different types of corn seeds are sown. After watering and fertilizing, when it is necessary to pull the cultivation box 8 closer to observe the corn during the cultivation process, the stepper motor 25 on the corresponding side is turned on, so that the output end of the stepper motor 25 drives the corresponding synchronous wheel 15 to rotate. Under the transmission of the synchronous belt 16, it is easy to drive the other synchronous wheel 15 to rotate, so that the two synchronous wheels 15 drive the two rope take-up discs 13 to rotate. One rope take-up disc 13 pulls the wire rope 14, while the other rope take-up disc 13 releases the wire rope 14. The wire rope 14 pulls the connecting block 12, so that the connecting block 12 slides inside the connecting groove 11, thereby making it easy to move the cultivation box 8 out of the box shell 1 for the operator to observe it at close range. When the cultivation box 8 is retracted, the stepper motor 25 is turned on to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0041] When the corn plants grow to a certain height and the height of the housing 1 needs to be adjusted, turn the knob 23 to rotate the second stud 22. When the second stud 22 rotates inside the second threaded hole 21, one end of it is released from its tight contact with the adjusting shell 18, allowing the adjusting shell 18 to move. Then, the adjusting shell 18 moves upward inside the adjusting groove 17, causing the adjusting shell 18 to move the top cover 19 upward, thus raising the height of the housing 1. After the adjustment is completed, turn the knob 23 to tighten the second stud 22 under the action of the second threaded hole 21, thereby facilitating the fixation of the adjusting shell 18.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
