Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural planting technology, specifically a cutting frame for seedling cultivation of Trichosanthes kirilowii. Background Technology

[0002] As an important medicinal and economic crop, Trichosanthes kirilowii is widely propagated through cuttings because it can quickly preserve the superior characteristics of varieties. However, traditional Trichosanthes kirilowii cutting propagation techniques face many bottlenecks in practice, which restrict the improvement of seedling efficiency and survival rate. The specific problems are as follows: 1. Traditional Trichosanthes kirilowii cutting propagation mostly uses ordinary seedling pots or seedbeds. When transplanting, it is necessary to manually dig up each seedling or remove the seedlings by inverting the pot, which is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive. For large-scale seedling cultivation, manual transplanting is extremely inefficient and can easily damage the seedling roots during the digging process, resulting in a long recovery period and a lower survival rate after transplanting. 2. Traditional melon seedling cultivation relies on manual watering at regular intervals, which involves high labor intensity and labor costs. Furthermore, manual operation makes it difficult to achieve timely and quantitative watering, which can easily lead to some seedlings wilting due to water shortage or root rot due to water accumulation. 3. Trichosanthes kirilowii cuttings (especially softwood cuttings) have weak root development in the early stages and are easily tipped over by wind, watering impact, or human touch, causing the cuttings to separate from the substrate and affecting rooting. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cutting frame for Trichosanthes kirilowii seedling cultivation, which solves the technical problems of low efficiency and poor survival rate in traditional seedling transplanting.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cutting frame for planting Trichosanthes kirilowii seedlings, including a support frame, a cutting pot installed on the top of the support frame, a plurality of arrayed cutting slots on the cutting pot, the cutting slots having a vertical through structure, a push-out mechanism for pushing the seedlings out of the cutting slots installed on the inner side of the bottom of the support frame, and an irrigation mechanism installed on the outer wall of the support frame above the cutting pot;

[0005] The ejection mechanism includes two sets of cylinders installed at the bottom of the support frame. A lifting plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic shaft of the cylinder. Multiple push rods corresponding to the skewer slots are fixedly provided on the surface of the lifting plate. A top block is fixedly provided on the top of the push rod and is movably disposed in the skewer slot.

[0006] Preferably, the irrigation mechanism includes a water tank installed on the side wall of the support frame, a water pump connected to each other installed on the side wall of the water tank, a spray pipe connected to the outlet of the water pump via a water pipe above the cutting slots, a number of nozzles the same as the number of cutting slots fixed at the bottom of the spray pipe, and a movable component fixed to one side of the support frame at one end of the spray pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the moving component includes a linear guide rail fixed to one side of the support frame by a support rod. A motor is installed at one end of the linear guide rail, and a linear screw is fixed to the output shaft of the motor. The linear screw is rotatably connected inside the linear guide rail, and a guide rail slider that slides inside the linear guide rail is helically connected to the outer wall of the linear screw. The guide rail slider is fixed to one end of the spray pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the water tank is provided with a water inlet.

[0009] Preferably, the surface of the cutting pot has multiple rows of horizontally and vertically distributed fixing grooves, and fixing rods are placed in the fixing grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the portion of the multiple rows of fixing rods located inside the skewer slot has a "well" shaped structure.

[0011] By means of the above technical solution, this utility model provides a cutting propagation frame for Trichosanthes kirilowii seedling cultivation, which has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1.

[0014] 3. This Trichosanthes kirilowii seedling propagation frame uses a grid-based method to fix the seedling stems by setting fixed rods on the propagation pots, providing multi-angle support and effectively preventing the seedlings from tipping over after propagation, thus affecting the survival rate.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Trichosanthes kirilowii propagation by cuttings is a highly efficient seedling method, especially suitable for situations requiring rapid propagation or preservation of varietal characteristics. With proper timing of cuttings, treatment of cuttings, and management of the seedbed, the survival rate can reach 70%–90%. In production, appropriate propagation methods can be selected based on actual needs to improve planting efficiency.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Due to the technical shortcomings of existing technologies, such as low transplanting efficiency and poor survival rate, please refer to... Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a cutting support frame for Trichosanthes kirilowii seedling cultivation, which avoids damage to the root system from manual digging, significantly improves transplanting efficiency, precisely controls water supply, reduces labor costs while improving the stability of the seedling environment, and provides multi-angle support for the seedlings, effectively preventing the seedlings from tipping over after cutting and affecting the survival rate. The cutting support frame includes a support frame 1, with a cutting pot 2 installed on the top of the support frame 1. The cutting pot 2 has multiple arrayed cutting slots, which are arranged vertically. The support frame 1 has a through structure. The inner side of the bottom of the support frame 1 is equipped with a push-out mechanism 3 that pushes the seedling out of the cutting slot. The outer wall of the support frame 1 is equipped with an irrigation mechanism 4 above the cutting pot 2. In use, soil is placed in the cutting slot of the cutting pot 2, and then the cutting is inserted into the soil. After the cutting takes root and sprouts, the soil and seedling in the cutting slot are pushed out together by the push-out mechanism 3 for subsequent transplanting. Under the action of the irrigation mechanism 4, the seedling can be automatically watered at time and in quantity.

[0026] Traditional transplanting requires manual digging or inverting the pot, leading to root damage and low transplanting efficiency, especially when dealing with large-scale seedling production. For solutions to this problem, please refer to... Figure 2The ejection mechanism 3 includes two sets of cylinders 31 installed at the bottom of the support frame 1. A lifting plate 32 is fixedly connected to the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 31. Multiple push rods 33 corresponding to the cutting slots are fixedly provided on the surface of the lifting plate 32. A top block 34 is movably installed in the cutting slot at the top of the push rod 33. By controlling the operation of the cylinder 31 and driving the top block 34 to move upward through the lifting plate 32 and the push rods 33, all the seedlings on the cutting pot 2 can be ejected at once, avoiding manual operation of each seedling. The efficiency is increased by more than 50%. The top block 34 ejects the seedlings smoothly from the bottom, reducing root pulling damage and further increasing the survival rate by 10% to 15%. Since the two sets of cylinders 31 are symmetrically arranged, the lifting plate 32 is raised and lowered smoothly.

[0027] Traditional manual watering is labor-intensive and lacks precision, easily leading to water shortages or waterlogging in seedlings. Traditional fixed sprinkler systems have limited coverage and cannot meet the uniform irrigation needs of multiple rows of planting slots. To address this issue, please refer to... Figure 3 The irrigation mechanism 4 includes a water tank 41 installed on the side wall of the support frame 1. A water pump 42 is installed on the side wall of the water tank 41 and is interconnected with it. The outlet of the water pump 42 is connected to a spray pipe 44 above the cutting slots through a water pipe 43. The bottom of the spray pipe 44 is fixed with a number of nozzles 45 equal to the number of cutting slots in a row. One end of the spray pipe 44 is connected to a movable component 46 fixed to one side of the support frame 1. The water tank 41 is connected to the spray pipe 44 through the water pump 42. The number of nozzles 45 corresponds to the number of cutting slots. The spray pipe 44 is driven by the movable component 46. The water pump 42 sprays water from the nozzles 45 into the corresponding cutting slots, which can water all the seedlings on the cutting pot 2. This can ensure that each seedling receives water evenly and reduce the labor and water resource costs of large-scale seedling cultivation.

[0028] Traditional fixed sprinkler systems can only cover a single row of seedlings. When cultivating multiple rows of seedlings, multiple sets of sprinkler equipment are required, which is costly and complex to maintain. To address this issue, the movable component 46 includes a linear guide rail 462 fixed to one side of the support frame 1 via a support rod 461. A motor 463 is installed at one end of the linear guide rail 462, and a linear lead screw 464 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 463. The linear lead screw 464 is rotatably connected inside the linear guide rail 462, and a guide rail slider 465 that slides inside the linear guide rail 462 is screwed to the outer wall of the linear lead screw 464. The guide rail slider 465 is fixed to one end of the sprinkler pipe 44. The motor 463 provides power, and the sprinkler pipe 44 is driven to move laterally using the linear guide rail 462 and the linear lead screw 464, so that the sprinkler pipe 44 can cover all areas of the cutting pot 2. The movement stroke can be adjusted according to the width of the cutting pot 2 to adapt to the needs of different seedling sizes, making it highly versatile.

[0029] Furthermore, a water inlet 411 is provided on the water tank 41 for easy water filling.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] Based on Example 1, because the root system of Trichosanthes kirilowii cuttings is weak in the early stages, they are easily tipped over by wind, watering impact, or human contact, leading to separation of the cuttings from the substrate and affecting rooting. To address this issue, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 The surface of the cutting pot 2 has multiple rows of horizontally and vertically distributed fixing grooves 21, and fixing rods 5 are placed in the fixing grooves 21. Furthermore, the part of the multiple rows of fixing rods 5 located inside the cutting grooves has a "well" structure. The fixing rods 5 can be inserted into the fixing grooves 21 to form a "well" support grid, eliminating the need to tie each plant individually. A single person can complete the fixing of the entire pot within 5 minutes, increasing efficiency by 80%. Moreover, the "well" structure restricts the swinging of the stems from both horizontal and vertical directions, resulting in better resistance to lodging. In addition, the fixing rods 5 can be disassembled and cleaned to adapt to different seedling cycles, reducing material costs.
