Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedling technology, and in particular to a chili seedling raising device. Background Technology

[0002] Seedling cultivation is a crucial step in chili pepper production, serving as an important measure to seize planting opportunities, increase crop rotation, advance maturity, extend supply, and mitigate the effects of pests, diseases, and natural disasters. Chili pepper seedling cultivation can improve both yield and quality. First, it allows for the selection of the most suitable varieties and optimized cultivation, thereby increasing yield. Second, the seedling process enables meticulous management, such as controlling temperature, humidity, and light, which improves germination rate and seedling quality, ultimately enhancing the overall quality of the chili peppers.

[0003] Seedling cultivation also saves on seeds, reduces costs, produces robust seedlings, and facilitates centralized management. Compared to direct planting in the field, seedling cultivation saves time and costs. First, during the seedling stage, we can better monitor the growth of the chili peppers and adjust cultivation management measures in a timely manner, thereby effectively preventing the occurrence of pests and diseases. Second, during the seedling stage, we can select the most suitable soil and fertilizers for chili pepper growth, thereby improving seedling quality, reducing the need for later fertilization and pesticide use, and saving costs.

[0004] Southern summers are hot and rainy, with frequent overcast and rainy days, high humidity, and little sunshine. Chili peppers are light-loving, long-day plants; most varieties require more than 12 hours of sunlight daily to flower and fruit normally. Insufficient light leads to excessive vegetative growth, delayed flowering, fewer flowers and fruits, and lower fruit quality. Traditional chili seedling greenhouses have poor heat retention, making it difficult to maintain suitable temperatures for seedling growth during periods of large diurnal temperature fluctuations, thus affecting seedling development. Furthermore, direct sowing in the soil is not conducive to management. Utility Model Content

[0021] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a chili seedling raising device includes a seedling greenhouse 100 oriented north-south. The greenhouse 100 includes a frame 110 and a film 120 covering the outside of the frame. The frame 110 is made of steel pipe with a wall thickness of 1.2-1.8mm, and is hot-dip galvanized inside and out to extend its service life. The greenhouse contains two or more seedling racks 200, which can be two, three, or four, the specific number determined by the width of the greenhouse. The length of each seedling rack 200 is 2-3 meters shorter than the length of the greenhouse. A passageway is provided between adjacent seedling racks 200. Each seedling rack has several layers of shelves 210 for placing seedling trays 300. Each layer of the seedling rack is equipped with a water supply capillary pipe 220, with micro-sprinklers spaced apart on the capillary pipe. This utility model of chili seedling raising device is based on the growth habits and environmental requirements of chili seedlings. By artificially controlling the conditions, it creates a suitable environment for the growth and development of chili seedlings, so that the seedlings are less affected by natural conditions, thereby improving seedling quality, cultivating high-quality and strong seedlings, increasing later yield, and improving economic benefits. Moreover, it adopts tray sowing for seedling raising, with one seed per cell and multiple seedling racks, which improves land utilization and facilitates management.

[0022] In this embodiment, a seedling tray transfer vehicle 400 with a width smaller than the width of the channel is also included. The seedling tray transfer vehicle includes a frame 410 with universal casters 430 at the bottom and several layers of shelves 420 on the frame. The shelves correspond one-to-one with the shelves of the seedling rack in the height direction.

[0023] In this embodiment, adjacent layers of the seedling rack 200 are connected by several retractable support rods 230; each layer is fixedly connected to one side by a vertical fixing rod 240, and the water supply capillary is installed on the vertical fixing rod; a main water supply pipe 500 is provided at the bottom of the seedling greenhouse, and the main water supply pipe is connected to the water supply capillary through water supply branch pipes 510. The water supply branch pipes 510 are flexible hoses, and a micro-sprinkler irrigation system is used. The main water supply pipe 500 is connected to a water source, which comes from a nearby river. The main water supply pipe 500 is equipped with a water pump, filter, fertilizer applicator, control valve, etc., responsible for pumping water, filtering, fertilizing, and controlling the flow rate. The micro-sprinkler is the core component, which evenly sprays water and fertilizer onto the pepper seedlings.

[0024] In this embodiment, the support rod 230 is composed of two interlocking upper and lower tubes. The support rod can be extended and retracted by the relative sliding of the two tubes. The upper tube is provided with several limiting holes at intervals, and the lower tube is provided with limiting bolts. After the length of the support rod is adjusted, the length of the support rod can be fixed by passing the limiting bolts through the corresponding limiting holes, so that the height of the shelf can be adjusted according to the height of the pepper seedlings at different growth stages.

[0025] In this embodiment, a shading cloth 130 is provided on the top of the seedling greenhouse 100, and rolling rods 140 are provided on the left and right sides of the outside of the seedling greenhouse. Several pull ropes 131 are connected to both sides of the shading cloth and wound around the rolling rod on the same side. In summer, when the sun is strong, the shading cloth can be rolled up by rolling up one side of the rolling rod and unrolled by rolling up the other side of the rolling rod. The left and right positions of the shading cloth can be adjusted according to the angle of sunlight. It can effectively block sunlight without affecting the lighting effect of the greenhouse. In winter, when the shading cloth is not in use, it can also be rolled up directly using the rolling rod.

[0026] In this embodiment, the seedling greenhouse is provided with several ventilation windows 160 on both sides. An insect-proof net 161 is provided in the middle of the ventilation window, and a sliding cover plate 162 is provided on the outside of the ventilation window. The ventilation volume is controlled by adjusting the up and down position of the cover plate, which can ensure air circulation and prevent pests from entering. The ventilation window 160 is provided with grooved plates on both sides. The cover plate slides in the grooves of the two side grooved plates. After the cover plate is adjusted to the position, it is locked and fixed with bolts.

[0027] In this embodiment, LED lights 170 are installed on both sides and the top of the seedling greenhouse 100, and reflectors 180 are installed on both sides or the upper part of both sides of the seedling greenhouse. LED lights have the advantages of energy saving, high efficiency, long life, and adjustable light quality; the use of reflectors inside the greenhouse improves the utilization rate of light energy. The LED light quality adopts a red-blue combined light with a red-blue light ratio of 7:3, and the light intensity is controlled at 100-200 μmol / (㎡•s). The specific light intensity value varies depending on factors such as the chili variety, seedling stage, and environmental conditions. For example, in the early stage of seedling emergence, the light intensity can be appropriately lower, and gradually increased to a higher value within the appropriate range as the seedlings grow.

[0028] In this embodiment, a small ceiling fan 190 is suspended from the ceiling inside the seedling greenhouse. It is turned on appropriately when the temperature is high to promote air circulation, allowing hot and cold air to mix thoroughly and resulting in a more even temperature distribution.

[0029] In this embodiment, a zippered door curtain 150 is provided at the entrance and exit. The zippered door curtain facilitates personnel entry and exit, makes daily management convenient, and also ensures the airtightness of the seedling greenhouse and improves the heat preservation effect.

[0030] Sowed seedling trays from the seeding room and place them on a tray transport cart. The cart is then pushed into the greenhouse, entering the passageway and approaching the seedling racks on one side. Workers push the seedling trays from each shelf of the cart onto the corresponding shelf of the seedling rack, repeating this process until all seedling racks in the greenhouse are filled with seedling trays. When the chili seedlings need watering or fertilization, the valve on the main water supply pipe is opened, and water or nutrient solution mixed with fertilizer is delivered to the capillary pipe and sprayed evenly onto the seedlings through micro-sprinklers. When the temperature and humidity gauges inside the greenhouse show that the temperature and humidity are too high or too low, the ventilation windows on both sides are opened or closed. The temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse are adjusted according to the size of the ventilation windows and the opening and closing time to avoid localized overheating or cooling, ensuring that the chili seedlings grow under suitable temperature and humidity conditions. In summer, when the sun is strong, to prevent the temperature inside the greenhouse from becoming too high, shade netting can be placed over the plastic film of the greenhouse to lower the temperature. When encountering cloudy or rainy weather and insufficient sunlight, LED lights can be turned on to supplement the light for chili plants. This artificial control of temperature, humidity, and light conditions can provide a good growing environment for chili seedlings, reducing the impact of natural conditions on the seedlings, thereby improving seedling quality, increasing later yields, and improving economic benefits.
