Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crop cultivation technology, and more specifically, to a cultivation box that facilitates classification and comparison. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the food processing, deep processing, feed processing and comprehensive utilization of corn by-products of corn have developed rapidly. In particular, the development of specialty corn has attracted more and more attention. When cultivating new corn varieties, it is necessary to compare them with existing corn varieties. By comparing the growth of seedlings of new and old varieties, it is possible to determine whether the new corn varieties are better than existing corn varieties.

[0003] Existing incubators can only compare the growth of different corn varieties under favorable resource conditions, and are not convenient for comparing the growth of different corn varieties under different conditions.

[0004] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN222193334U discloses a cultivation box for easy classification and comparison of corn varieties. Three groups of two different corn varieties are planted in three planting troughs across two classification zones, allowing them to grow under the same light and temperature conditions. By controlling the valves on the irrigation pipes of adjacent planting troughs within the two classification zones, the different corn varieties in the adjacent planting troughs are compared under water-deficient conditions. By raising the baffles inside the two partition plates, the corn planted in the two planting troughs at the edges of the two classification zones is separated from the other groups of corn. Finally, by activating two fans, the wind resistance of the two corn varieties during their growth process is compared. This allows for the classification and comparison of two different corn varieties under three different growth conditions, achieving a better and more comprehensive selection of high-quality corn varieties.

[0005] In actual use, when drip irrigating corn seedlings, the traditional fixed drip irrigation system can only irrigate the same location, which can easily lead to insufficient water absorption by the roots of some varieties or local water accumulation, resulting in uneven irrigation and affecting cultivation and growth.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0024] The embodiments disclosed in this application are as follows: Figure 1-6The cultivation box shown is easy to classify and compare. It includes a planting box 1, a partition frame 2 is fixedly connected inside the planting box 1, a water pump 3 is installed at the top of the planting box 1, and fan boxes 28 are fixedly connected to both sides of the planting box 1. The output end and input end of the water pump 3 are connected to a connecting pipe 4. One end of one of the connecting pipes 4 is connected to a diversion pipe 5, and the bottom end of the diversion pipe 5 is connected to a delivery pipe 6. The delivery pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the inside of the planting box 1. A drip irrigation component and an adjustment mechanism are installed inside the planting box 1. The adjustment mechanism is installed above the drip irrigation component.

[0025] The drip irrigation assembly includes a housing 7, inside which is installed an electric push rod 8. A connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 8. A guide rod 10 is slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 9 and is fixedly connected to the inside of the housing 7. A rack 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate 9 and is slidably connected to the inside of the housing 7. Multiple gears 12 mesh at the top of the rack 11. A rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected inside the gears 12. Multiple connecting rings 14 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating rod 13 and are rotatably connected to the inside of the planting box 1. The connecting rings 14 are rotatably connected to the inside of the separator frame 2. Multiple insertion holes 15 are provided on the lower surface of the rotating rod 13. Multiple movable frames 16 are slidably connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 13. A drip irrigation head 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable frame 16. A connecting hose 18 is connected to one side of the drip irrigation head 17, and one end of the hose 18 is connected to the lower end of the delivery pipe 6. The movable frame 16 is connected to a sliding rod 19. A plug rod 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the rod 19, and a telescopic spring 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the plug rod 20. The telescopic spring 21 is fixedly connected to the inside of the movable frame 16. By pulling the rod 19, the rod 19 can drive the plug rod 20 to separate from the plug hole 15, so that the movable frame 16 can be moved and adjusted outside the rotating rod 13. This allows the spacing between the drip irrigation heads 17 to be adjusted according to the root depth and density of different corn varieties. The rack 11 reciprocates and meshes to drive multiple gears 12 to swing, which in turn drives the rotating rod 13 to swing. This allows multiple drip irrigation heads 17 to swing during drip irrigation, expanding the spray irrigation range and distributing water more evenly in the cultivation box, reducing local waterlogging or drought.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 and 3As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes a stepper motor 22, which is installed at the top of the planting box 1. A fixed frame 23 is fixedly connected inside the planting box 1. Two sliding grooves 24 are opened on the front side of the fixed frame 23. A lead screw 25 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 22. A movable plate 26 is threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw 25. The movable plate 26 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding grooves 24. Multiple plant lights 27 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 26. The lead screw 25 can drive the movable plate 26 through the thread to move the multiple plant lights 27 up and down. Thus, the height of the plant lights 27 can be adjusted according to the growth needs of the corn seedlings to match the needs of different growth stages. By lowering the height of the plant lights 27, the light intensity in each area of ​​the planting box 1 can be made more uniform, reducing the growth differences caused by uneven light.

[0027] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model designs a cultivation box that facilitates classification and comparison. The specific structure is shown in the attached instruction manual. Figure 1-6 As shown, in this technical solution, through the cooperation between various structures, when different varieties of corn need to be cultivated, the corn is first placed on the diversion pipe 5. Then, the light distance of the movable plate 26 is adjusted according to the height of the corn. The stepper motor 22 is started, and the stepper motor 22 drives the lead screw 25 to rotate, so that the lead screw 25 drives the movable plate 26 to rotate through the thread. The two sliding grooves 24 can provide guidance for the movement of the movable plate 26, so that the movable plate 26 can drive multiple plant lights 27 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of multiple plant lights 27 according to actual growth needs. When drip irrigation is needed for the corn, the pull rod 19 is pulled down first, and the pull rod 19 drives the insertion rod 20 to separate from the inside of the insertion hole 15, and squeezes the telescopic spring 21 inside the movable frame 16. Then, the movable frame 16 is pulled, so that the rotating rod can be rotated. The spacing between the movable frames 16 on the outside of 13 is adjusted. The return force of the telescopic spring 21 can push the pull rod 19 to drive the insertion rod 20 to be inserted into the insertion hole 15, thereby limiting the position adjustment of the rotating rod 13. Then, the water pump 3 is started and one of the connecting pipes 4 is connected to the external water pipe. Under the action of the water pump 3, water can be delivered to the diversion pipe 5. The diversion pipe 5 can divert water to the delivery pipe 6 so that the drip irrigation head 17 can perform drip irrigation. During drip irrigation, the electric push rod 8 is started. The electric push rod 8 pushes the connecting plate 9 to drive the rack 11 to move back and forth. The guide rod 10 can move the rack 11 through the guiding action, so that the rack 11 can mesh and drive multiple gears 12 to swing. The gears 12 can drive the rotating rod 13 to swing, so that the rotating rod 13 can drive multiple drip irrigation heads 17 to perform swing drip irrigation on the corn.
