Detailed Implementation

[0022] Example 1, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a tomato seedling raising device for easy transplanting includes a base 1 and a pot 4. The base 1 has a groove 5 inside, with a through hole at the bottom of the inner wall of the groove 5. A base plate 6 and a movable plate 8 are arranged inside the groove 5. A slot 7 is provided at the top of the base plate 6. A locking block 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 8. The size and shape of the outer surface of the locking block 9 are adapted to the size and shape of the inner wall of the slot 7. A positioning device 2 is provided at the bottom of the pot 4 to fix the relative position between the pot 4 and the base 1. When using the seedling raising device, the base plate 6 is inserted into the groove 5 inside the base 1, so that the bottom of the base plate 6 contacts the bottom of the inner wall of the groove 5. Then, the locking block 9 at the bottom of the movable plate 8 is inserted into the slot 7 at the top of the base plate 6 to lock the movable plate 8 into the groove 5. The pot 4 is then inserted into the top of the base 1, and the pot 4 is connected to the base 1 by the positioning device 2. Then, soil for tomato cultivation is added into the pot 4, and tomato seeds are buried in the soil for cultivation. After cultivation, the seedlings need to be... When transplanting tomatoes, a tool can be inserted into the through hole at the bottom of the base 1. The tool can be used to push the base plate 6 and the movable plate 8 upward within the groove 5 inside the base 1, loosening the soil inside the pot 4 and raising it a certain distance. This makes it easier to observe the location of the tomato roots and remove the soil with roots. Alternatively, the connection between the pot 4 and the base 1 can be released through the positioning device 2, and then the pot 4 can be pulled upward to remove it, exposing the top part of the soil. At this point, a soil scraper can be used to remove the soil with roots and the tomato. Alternatively, the connection between the pot 4 and the base 1 can be released first through the positioning device 2, and the pot 4 can be lifted upward. Then, the base plate 6 and the movable plate 8 can be pushed upward through the through hole at the bottom of the base 1, causing the top of the movable plate 8 to protrude beyond the top of the base 1. The movable plate 8 can then be pulled upward to remove the movable plate 8 along with the soil and tomato plant above it. This facilitates the transplanting of tomatoes and improves the flexibility and convenience of using the tomato seedling device.

[0023] Reference Figure 2-5As shown in this embodiment: the positioning device 2 includes two L-shaped rods 21, which are fixed on both sides of the basin 4. One end of each L-shaped rod 21 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 22. An L-shaped block 23 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 22. A torsion spring 24 is provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 22. The two ends of the torsion spring 24 are fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped rod 21 and one side of the rotating shaft 22, respectively. Two slots 25 are provided at the top of the base 1. A stop block 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the slot 25. When connecting the basin 4 and the base 1, the bottom end of the basin 4 is facing down so that the two L-shaped blocks 23 at the bottom end of the basin 4 are inserted downward into the two slots 25 at the top of the base 1. The bottom end of the L-shaped block 23 is inserted into the slot 25. When the top of the stop 26 on one side of the wall contacts, the stop 26 will push the L-shaped block 23 to rotate away from the stop 26 via the pivot 22 and deform the torsion spring 24. Then, the L-shaped block 23 continues to move downward into the slot 25 and is located below the stop 26. When the torsion spring 24 returns to its original state, it will drive the pivot 22 and the L-shaped block 23 to rotate in the original direction, so that the L-shaped block 23 is stuck under the stop 26 inside the slot 25. This fixes the position of the L-shaped block 23 inside the slot 25 and the position of the basin 4 at the top of the base 1, thus completing the connection between the basin 4 and the base 1. Rotating the pivot 22 controls the L-shaped block 23 to rotate away from the stop 26. Then, the basin 4 can be pulled upward to separate the basin 4 from the base 1.

[0024] Reference Figure 2-5 As shown in this embodiment: the bottom edge of the L-shaped block 23 is arc-shaped. By setting the arc-shaped edge of the bottom edge of the L-shaped block 23 to contact the top of the stop block 26, it is easier for the L-shaped block 23 to move away from the stop block 26 when it moves downward and contacts the stop block 26, and it will not get stuck on the top of the stop block 26. Two limiting blocks 27 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The two limiting blocks 27 are located on the side of the top of the base 1 near the slot 25. The limiting blocks 27 are made of rubber. When the L-shaped block 23 passes one side of the limiting block 27, it will squeeze the rubber limiting block 27. After the L-shaped block 23 enters the slot 25, one end of the limiting block 27 will abut against one side of the L-shaped block 23, further securing the position of the L-shaped block 23 inside the slot 25.

[0025] Reference Figure 2-4 As shown in this embodiment: an operating block 28 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 22 away from the L-shaped rod 21. Several protrusions are provided on the outer surface of the operating block 28. Holding the protrusions on the outer surface of the operating block 28 makes it easier to rotate the operating block 28 and the rotating shaft 22, thereby controlling the rotation angle of the L-shaped block 23.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 as well as Figure 6As shown in this embodiment: an auxiliary device 3 is provided at the top of the pot 4. The auxiliary device 3 includes a retaining ring 32. Two plugs 33 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the retaining ring 32. The diameter of the retaining ring 32 is larger than the diameter of the pot 4. Two water inlets 31 are opened inside the pot 4. The two water inlets 31 penetrate the inner wall and the top of the pot 4. When using the seedling device, after adding soil into the base 1 and the pot 4, water can be added to the two water inlets 31 at the top of the pot 4 at the same time when watering the soil. This allows the water to pass through the water inlets 31 and out through the other end of the inner wall of the pot 4 to better penetrate into the inner layer of the soil. After watering, the two plugs 33 at the bottom of the retaining ring 32 can be inserted into the water inlets 31 at the top of the pot 4 to block the water inlets 31 and fix the retaining ring 32 to the top of the pot 4. The retaining ring 32 can block and protect the outer side of the top of the pot 4, so that the pot 4 is less likely to collide directly with the object when it is moved or transported.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown in this embodiment: the outer surface of the plug 33 is provided with several protrusions 34, which are linearly distributed on the outer surface of the plug 33. By providing the protrusions 34, the friction between the plug 33 and the inner wall of the water inlet 31 when the plug 33 is inserted into the water inlet 31 can be increased, making the plug 33 more stable and less prone to loosening when it is inserted into the water inlet 31 to install the retaining ring 32. Two protrusions 35 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the retaining ring 32. The two protrusions 35 protrude from both sides of the retaining ring 32 respectively. By pinching the two protrusions 35 at the top of the retaining ring 32, the retaining ring 32 can be pulled upward more easily, so that the plug 33 can be removed from the water inlet 31 and the retaining ring 32 can be removed.

[0028] Working principle: When using the seedling device, insert the base plate 6 into the groove 5 inside the base 1, so that the bottom end of the base plate 6 contacts the bottom end of the inner wall of the groove 5. Then, insert the locking block 9 at the bottom of the movable plate 8 into the locking groove 7 at the top of the base plate 6 to lock the movable plate 8 into the groove 5. Next, place the pot 4 with its bottom end facing down so that the two L-shaped blocks 23 at the bottom of the pot 4 are inserted downwards into the two slots 25 at the top of the base 1. When the bottom end of the L-shaped block 23 contacts the top end of the stop block 26 on one side of the inner wall of the slot 25, the stop block 26 will push the L-shaped block 23. 3. Rotating the pivot 22 away from the stop 26 causes the torsion spring 24 to deform. Then, the L-shaped block 23 continues to move downwards into the slot 25, positioned below the stop 26. The torsion spring 24 returns to its original position, causing the pivot 22 and the L-shaped block 23 to rotate in their original directions. This locks the L-shaped block 23 into place below the stop 26 inside the slot 25, fixing the position of the L-shaped block 23 inside the slot 25 and the position of the pot 4 at the top of the base 1. This completes the connection between the pot 4 and the base 1. Then, the soil for tomato cultivation is added... Soil is added to the inside of the pot 4, and tomato seeds are buried in the soil for cultivation. When the tomatoes need to be transplanted after cultivation, a tool can be inserted into the through hole at the bottom of the base 1. The tool can be used to push the base plate 6 and the movable plate 8 upward in the groove 5 inside the base 1, so that the soil inside the pot 4 is loosened and rises a distance, making it easier to observe the position of the tomato roots and shovel out the soil with roots. Alternatively, the rotating shaft 22 can be rotated to control the L-shaped block 23 to rotate away from the stop block 26, and then the pot 4 can be pulled upward to separate the pot 4 from the base 1, exposing the top part of the soil. At this time, a soil shovel can be used to shovel out the soil with roots and tomatoes. Alternatively, the pot 4 can be disconnected from the base 1 first, the pot 4 can be taken out upward, and then the base plate 6 and the movable plate 8 can be pushed upward through the through hole at the bottom of the base 1 so that the top of the movable plate 8 protrudes from the top of the base 1. Then the movable plate 8 can be pulled upward to remove the movable plate 8 along with the soil and tomato plants above it, making it easier to transplant the tomatoes.
