Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of jackfruit breeding devices, and in particular to a jackfruit seedling breeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In tropical fruit cultivation, jackfruit, as a typical large-fruited crop, faces unique challenges in seedling propagation. Due to the large size of jackfruit seeds (a single seed can reach 3-5 cm in diameter) and rapid root growth, traditional seedling methods are insufficient to meet its specific requirements for growing space, anchorage strength, and transplant safety. With the increasing trend towards large-scale cultivation, existing propagation equipment is increasingly revealing problems such as inefficient clamping, insufficient root protection, and extensive irrigation management when dealing with large-sized seedlings. Targeted technological innovations are urgently needed to improve propagation quality and efficiency.

[0003] Traditional methods for propagating jackfruit seedlings have significant drawbacks: First, seedling fixation relies on manual soil filling, requiring repeated adjustments to compaction when dealing with large seeds. Clamping a single seedling is time-consuming, and manual operation makes it difficult to ensure root spread, easily leading to uneven seedling growth due to uneven soil compaction. Second, the transplanting process carries a high risk of damage. Jackfruit has a well-developed taproot (reaching 20-30 cm in seedlings), and traditional manual digging easily causes over 30% root breakage, affecting transplant survival rates. Especially during large-scale transplanting, digging up each seedling individually requires significant manpower, and root entanglement exacerbates the damage. Third, irrigation management is inefficient. Large seedlings require large amounts of water, but traditional top-flood irrigation easily washes away the soil around the roots, while waterlogging at the bottom leads to root rot, and excess water cannot be recovered, resulting in a water utilization rate of less than 40%. Furthermore, existing devices lack a dedicated fixing structure for large seedlings, and the clamp size is not adjustable, making it difficult to adapt to jackfruit seedlings at different growth stages, resulting in poor device versatility. The aforementioned problems are particularly prominent in the propagation of seedlings of large fruits such as jackfruit, and technological breakthroughs are urgently needed through an integrated design of mechanized fixing, non-destructive transplanting, and precision irrigation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a jackfruit seedling propagation device, which aims to solve the problems of root system damage, uneven irrigation, and water waste in existing jackfruit seedling propagation devices.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A jackfruit seedling propagation device includes a base, with multiple connecting rods fixedly connected to the top side of the base, and a seedling platform fixedly connected to the top side of the multiple connecting rods. An irrigation trough is formed on the top side of the seedling platform, and multiple seedling holes are formed on the bottom side of the irrigation trough. Seedling components are arranged inside the seedling holes. A motor is installed inside the base, and the drive end of the motor passes through the top side of the base and is fixedly connected to a screw. A collecting component is provided on the outer wall of the screw, and the top side of the screw is rotatably connected to the bottom side of the seedling platform.

[0007] Furthermore, the seedling assembly includes a rotating shaft, and seedling clamps are rotatably connected to both ends of the outer wall of the rotating shaft. Multiple drainage holes are provided on the bottom side of the seedling clamps.

[0008] Furthermore, multiple limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the top of the seedling clamps on opposite sides at both ends.

[0009] Furthermore, the collection assembly includes a lifting platform, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the screw, and a water storage tank is provided inside the lifting platform, with multiple water receiving troughs provided on the top side of the water storage tank.

[0010] Furthermore, the top side of the lifting platform is fixedly connected with multiple abutment columns, which are located on the bottom side of the seedling holes.

[0011] Furthermore, a water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the left side of the lifting platform, and a water pump is installed on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe. The right side of the water pump is fixedly connected to the right side of the lifting platform.

[0012] Furthermore, multiple through holes are provided around the top side of the irrigation trough, and the connecting rod is slidably connected inside the through holes.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, the seedling clamp is closed by rotating the shaft, which can quickly fix the seedling and soil. After being placed in the seedling hole, the clamp is prevented from opening by the hole position restriction, which simplifies the clamping process in the early stage of seedling cultivation. During transplanting, the motor-driven screw drives the lifting platform and the abutment column to push out the seedling clamp, eliminating the need for manual digging, avoiding damage to the root system, and significantly improving transplanting efficiency. It is especially suitable for large-scale seedling cultivation scenarios, reducing labor costs and operational losses.

[0015] 2. In this invention, water can be poured directly from the top of the irrigation trough. The water flows evenly through the seepage holes to the roots of the seedlings, ensuring effective irrigation. Excess water is collected in a collection trough and then stored in a storage tank, where it can be recycled with the help of a water pump. This avoids waterlogging and root rot, and also conserves water resources. This "irrigation-recycling-reuse" model meets the needs of environmentally friendly seedling cultivation, and is especially suitable for water-scarce areas, reducing seedling costs while improving sustainability.

[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] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5This utility model provides an embodiment of a jackfruit seedling propagation device, comprising a base 1, a plurality of connecting rods 2 fixedly connected to the top side of the base 1, a seedling platform 3 fixedly connected to the top side of the plurality of connecting rods 2, an irrigation trough 4 provided on the top side of the seedling platform 3, a plurality of seedling holes 15 provided on the bottom side of the irrigation trough 4, a rotating shaft 14 provided inside the seedling hole 15, a motor 10 installed inside the base 1, and the drive end of the motor 10 passing through the top side of the base 1 and fixedly connected to a screw. 6. A lifting platform 5 is provided on the outer wall of the screw 6. The top side of the screw 6 is rotatably connected to the bottom side of the seedling platform 3. Seedling clamps 17 are rotatably connected to both ends of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 14. Multiple drainage holes are opened on the bottom side of the seedling clamps 17. Multiple limiting blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the top of the seedling clamps 17 on the opposite side. The lifting platform 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of the screw 6. A water storage tank 11 is opened inside the lifting platform 5. Multiple water receiving tanks 13 are opened on the top side of the water storage tank 11.

[0025] Specifically, the operation process of this jackfruit seedling propagation device is designed around the needs of efficient seedling cultivation and convenient management. First, rotating the shaft 14 closes the seedling clamps 17 at both ends, forming a cavity to accommodate the soil and seedlings. After planting the jackfruit seedlings in the soil, they are placed into the seedling holes 15. The holes are used to limit the clamps from opening, ensuring the seedlings are fixed and stable. During irrigation, water is injected from the irrigation trough 4 and evenly permeates to the root system through the seepage holes on the bottom of the clamps. Excess water is collected by the lifting platform 5 into the water receiving trough 13 and finally flows into the water storage tank 11 for recycling, realizing the recycling of water resources.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Multiple abutment columns 7 are fixedly connected to the top side of the lifting platform 5. The abutment columns 7 are located at the bottom side of the seedling hole 15. A water outlet pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the left side of the lifting platform 5. A water pump 9 is installed on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 8. The right side of the water pump 9 is fixedly connected to the right side of the lifting platform 5. Multiple through holes 12 are opened around the top side of the irrigation trough 4. The connecting rod 2 is slidably connected inside the through holes 12.

[0027] Specifically, when seedlings need to be removed, the water pump 9 is activated to drain the water from the storage tank through the outlet pipe 8. During the transplanting stage, the motor 10 drives the screw 6 to rotate, simultaneously raising the lifting platform 5 and the abutment column 7. The abutment column lifts the seedling clamp from the bottom of the seedling hole, completely removing the mature seedling and avoiding root damage caused by manual digging. The entire device automates the entire process of seedling fixation, precise irrigation, water recovery, and non-destructive transplanting through mechanical linkage, significantly improving the efficiency and survival rate of jackfruit seedling propagation, and is suitable for large-scale seedling cultivation.

[0028] Working principle: In use, first rotate the shaft 14 to close the seedling clamps 17 at both ends. Then, put soil into the two seedling clamps 17 and place the jackfruit seedlings into the soil. Then, place the whole thing into the seedling hole 15 to prevent the two seedling clamps 17 from opening. When irrigation is needed, water can be poured directly into the irrigation trough 4 to irrigate the seedlings. At the same time, excess water will fall through the seepage holes on the bottom side of the seedling clamps 17 to the top side of the lifting platform 5. Water falls into the water storage tank 11 through the water receiving trough 13, allowing for water recycling. When water needs to be removed, the water pump 9 can be activated to extract water from the water storage tank 11 through the water outlet pipe 8. When the seedlings are ready for transplantation, the motor 10 is activated to drive the screw 6 to rotate, thereby moving the lifting platform 5 and multiple abutment columns 7 upward. Since the abutment columns 7 are located on the bottom side of the seedling hole 15, they will push out the seedling clamp 17 and the seedlings when they move upward, allowing for quick transplantation of the seedlings.

[0029] 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.
