Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forestry seedling technology, specifically a forestry seedling box. Background Technology

[0002] Forestry refers to the production sector that protects the ecological environment and maintains ecological balance, cultivates and protects forests to obtain timber and other forest products, and utilizes the natural characteristics of trees to play a protective role. It is an important part of the national economy. The planting of forest trees requires forestry seedling cultivation, which is mostly carried out through seedling boxes placed in seedling greenhouses.

[0003] When seedlings reach a certain stage of growth and need to be transplanted, the existing methods mostly involve manually moving the seedlings by hand. This method can easily cause the seedling roots to break during the process. Since the seedling roots are important organs for absorbing water and nutrients, root damage will seriously affect the survival rate of the seedlings after transplanting, increase the cost of forestry seedling cultivation and waste resources, and hinder the efficient development of forestry production. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a forestry seedling box.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A forestry seedling box, comprising:

[0007] A seedling tank has an opening at the top and multiple support plates on the bottom inner wall of the opening. A seedling frame is provided on the top of the seedling tank, and multiple seedling cups are provided inside the seedling frame. The multiple support plates and multiple seedling cups together form a seedling component.

[0008] The fixing column is fixedly installed around the top of the seedling water tank, and the surface of the fixing column has multiple silicone protrusions evenly distributed in an array in the vertical direction;

[0009] The movable block is slidably connected to the surface of the fixed column, and the movable block has a groove that penetrates the surface of the fixed column on the side near the seedling frame.

[0010] An elastic element, which has one elastic end fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the seedling frame;

[0011] The rigid protrusion is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove, and the rigid protrusion is elastically connected to the side surface of the seedling tank through an elastic element.

[0012] In this process, manually pulling the seedling frame moves the rigid protrusion, which then contacts the silicone protrusion along its trajectory. The silicone protrusion squeezes the rigid protrusion, and the elastic element vibrates after being compressed. The force generated by the vibration is guided to the seedling frame through the spring.

[0013] Preferably, the elastic element includes:

[0014] A movable plate is attached to the surface of the movable block near the seedling frame, and the movable plate near the surface of the movable block is fixedly connected to a rigid protrusion.

[0015] A spring, with one end fixedly connected to the side of the seedling frame and the other end fixedly connected to the movable plate away from the surface of the movable block, is used to rebound the hard protrusion and generate vibration.

[0016] Preferably, a pin is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the seedling frame, and a pin groove is provided on the top surface of the seedling water tank. When the bottom surface of the seedling frame and the top surface of the seedling water tank are in contact with each other, the pin is located inside the pin groove.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom of the plurality of seedling cups is designed to be open, and when the bottom surface of the seedling frame is in contact with the top surface of the seedling tank, the bottom of the seedling cup is fitted onto the outer surface of the support plate.

[0018] Preferably, the side surface of the support plate is provided with a sealing ring, and when the bottom surface of the seedling frame is in contact with the top surface of the seedling water tank, the sealing ring contacts the side wall of the seedling cup.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. The seedling water tank drives the movable block to move, which in turn moves the hard protrusion on the movable column and is squeezed by the silicone protrusion. The hard protrusion is squeezed and generates a rebound vibration, which is guided to the seedling frame by the spring. This allows the roots of the seedling to be quickly and fully separated from the soil in the seedling cup from the inner wall of the seedling cup, avoiding root damage caused by manual peeling and improving the survival rate of the seedling after transplanting.

[0021] 2. When the bottom surface of the seedling frame is in contact with the top surface of the seedling tank, the pin slot is located inside the pin slot, thereby achieving the effect of positioning the seedling frame and preventing the seedling frame from accidentally falling off when the seedling tank is moved or subjected to external impact, thus protecting the seedlings inside from damage.

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a forestry seedling box includes:

[0030] The seedling tank has an opening at the top, and multiple support plates are installed on the bottom inner wall of the opening. A seedling frame is installed on the top of the seedling tank, and multiple seedling cups are installed inside the seedling frame. The multiple support plates and multiple seedling cups together form a seedling unit. Handles are fixedly installed on both sides of the seedling frame.

[0031] The fixing column is fixedly installed around the top of the seedling tank. Multiple silicone protrusions are evenly distributed in an array on the vertical direction of the fixing column surface.

[0032] The movable block is slidably connected to the surface of the fixed column, and a groove is provided on the side of the movable block near the seedling frame that penetrates the surface of the fixed column.

[0033] An elastic element, which has one elastic end fixedly connected to the outer sidewall of the seedling frame;

[0034] The rigid protrusion is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove, and the rigid protrusion is elastically connected to the side surface of the seedling tank through an elastic element.

[0035] In this process, manually pulling the seedling frame moves the rigid protrusion, which then contacts the silicone protrusion along its trajectory. The silicone protrusion squeezes the rigid protrusion, and the elastic element vibrates after being compressed. The force generated by the vibration is guided to the seedling frame through the spring.

[0036] Specifically, when transplanting seedlings, manually pull the handle to move the seedling frame. This movement causes multiple seedling cups to move as well. As the cups move, they detach from the support plate, separating the soil and seedlings from their interior. During this movement, a movable block moves upwards on the surface of the fixed post, causing the elastic element and rigid protrusions to move. As the movable block moves, the silicone protrusions on the fixed post are compressed into the movable block. When these protrusions reach the groove, they spring back, contacting the rigid protrusions and applying a rebound force, thus pushing the seedlings apart. The rigid protrusion moves directly backward, compressing the elastic element. The elastic element then rebounds, generating vibration. The force from this vibration is guided directly to the inside of the seedling frame, causing the frame to vibrate. This vibration, in turn, vibrates the soil and seedlings inside the seedling box, allowing the seedling roots to quickly and fully detach from the soil in the seedling cup. This avoids root damage caused by manual separation and improves the survival rate of transplanted seedlings. Furthermore, this automated vibration-based detachment method significantly reduces manual operation time and labor compared to traditional transplanting methods, greatly improving the efficiency of seedling transplanting. In addition, the vibration separates the soil and seedling as a whole, maintaining root integrity and helping the seedlings adapt to the new environment more quickly, ensuring the smooth progress of forestry seedling transplanting.

[0037] In this implementation example, the elastic element includes:

[0038] The movable board is attached to the surface of the movable block near the seedling frame, and the movable board is fixedly connected to the rigid protrusion near the surface of the movable block.

[0039] A spring, with one end fixedly connected to the side of the seedling frame and the other end fixedly connected to the movable plate away from the surface of the movable block, is used to rebound the hard protrusion and generate vibration.

[0040] Specifically, in the initial state, the movable plate and the movable block are close to the surface of the seedling frame. When vibration occurs, the force on the hard protrusion pushes the movable plate backward, at which point the spring is compressed. When the thrust generated by the hard protrusion disappears, the spring rebounds under the action of elasticity, generating movement and vibration. This vibration is guided to the seedling frame by the spring, thus achieving a fixed connection between the movable plate and the hard protrusion. This allows for a more direct and efficient transmission of the vibration generated by the spring rebound, making the vibration range more evenly cover the seedling frame and promoting a more thorough detachment of the soil from the seedling cup.

[0041] In this implementation case: a pin post is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the seedling frame, and a pin groove is opened on the top surface of the seedling water tank. When the bottom surface of the seedling frame and the top surface of the seedling water tank are in contact with each other, the pin post is located inside the pin groove.

[0042] Specifically, when the bottom surface of the seedling frame is in contact with the top surface of the seedling tank, the pin slot is located inside the pin slot, thereby achieving the effect of positioning the seedling frame and preventing the seedling frame from accidentally falling off when the seedling tank is moved or subjected to external impact, thus protecting the seedlings inside from damage.

[0043] In this implementation case: multiple seedling cups have an open bottom design. When the bottom surface of the seedling frame is in contact with the top surface of the seedling tank, the bottom of the seedling cup is fitted onto the outer surface of the support plate.

[0044] Specifically, when the bottom surface of the seedling frame is in contact with the top surface of the seedling tank, the bottom of the seedling cup is fitted onto the outer surface of the support plate, thereby enhancing the stability of the seedling cup within the seedling frame and preventing the seedling cup from shaking during the seedling process, which would affect the growth of the seedlings.

[0045] In this implementation case: a sealing ring is provided on the side surface of the support plate. When the bottom surface of the seedling frame is in contact with the top surface of the seedling water tank, the sealing ring contacts the side wall of the seedling cup.

[0046] Specifically, when the bottom surface of the seedling frame is in contact with the top surface of the seedling water tank, the sealing ring is in contact with and adheres to the side wall of the seedling cup, effectively preventing water leakage from the seedling water tank, avoiding water loss, ensuring a stable and humid seedling environment, and enhancing structural stability. The elastic contact of the sealing ring can form a buffer and constraint between the seedling cup and the support plate, further limiting the shaking of the seedling cup, making the seedling cup more firmly fixed in the seedling frame, and providing a stable environment for seedling growth.

[0047] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
