Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soybean planting technology, and specifically discloses a soybean planting box. Background Technology

[0002] Soybeans, commonly known as yellow soybeans, originated in China and are cultivated throughout the country, as well as widely around the world. Soybeans are one of China's important food crops, with a cultivation history of 5,000 years. They were anciently called "shu," and the main producing area is Northeast China. They are a crop whose seeds are rich in plant protein. Soybeans are the most nutritious of all legumes, ranking first among hundreds of natural foods. They contain a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids, various trace elements, vitamins, and high-quality protein. Soybeans can be processed into various soy products, extracted to make soybean oil, brewed soy sauce, and used to extract protein. They are beneficial foods for patients with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and heart disease. Soybeans are rich in protein and contain a relatively complete range of amino acids, especially lysine, which perfectly complements the deficiency of lysine in grains. Therefore, eating grains and beans together allows for protein complementarity.

[0003] Chinese patent CN208597492U discloses a soybean planting box, including a planting box body with an open top, a support base, a water collection tank, support rods, and a fertilizer trough. The support base has a "U"-shaped structure, with the planting box body mounted on top of the support base. Support rods are also mounted at the four corners of the top of the support base. The water collection tank is mounted on the support base and is detachably connected to the support base. The planting box body is filled with planting substrate. Multiple drainage holes are provided at the bottom of the planting box body. A fertilizer trough is also provided above the planting box body and is detachably connected to the support rods. Multiple water outlets are provided at the bottom of the fertilizer trough. This utility model has a novel structural design and is simple and practical. It can solve the problems of unsanitary conditions, unsightly appearance, and uneven fertilization and watering associated with planting in flower pots or other packaging boxes. It also addresses the waste caused by watering excessively, resulting in water everywhere on the balcony and the inability to reuse water.

[0004] The soybean planting box disclosed in the aforementioned document has only a single layer, resulting in low space utilization. Furthermore, the bottom surface of the planting box is flat, making it easy for the roots to coil horizontally. Drainage relies on bottom holes, which can easily lead to water accumulation. Therefore, a soybean planting box is needed to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention proposes a soybean planting box that optimizes root distribution and drainage performance through a conical protrusion structure at the bottom of the planting box. At the same time, it utilizes an adjustable scissor frame driven by an electric actuator to achieve dynamic adjustment of the planting space, effectively improving soybean root development and space utilization.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a soybean planting box includes a base, a water collection tank is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base, a filter plate is removably installed inside the water collection tank, multiple planting box bodies are arranged above the water collection tank, an adjustment mechanism is arranged between the multiple planting box bodies, multiple evenly distributed conical protrusions are provided at the bottom of the inner wall of each of the multiple planting box bodies, multiple drainage holes are provided through the lower end of each of the multiple planting box bodies and are distributed alternately with the conical protrusions, and planting substrate is filled inside each of the multiple planting box bodies;

[0007] Two symmetrically distributed fixing plates are fixedly connected to the upper end of the planting box body located at the top. A spray pipe is fixedly connected between the two fixing plates.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3A soybean planting box includes a base 1, a water collection tank 3 fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1, a filter plate 11 that can be pulled out inside the water collection tank 3, a plurality of planting box bodies 2 above the water collection tank 3, an adjustment mechanism between the plurality of planting box bodies 2, a plurality of evenly distributed conical protrusions 9 on the bottom of the inner wall of each of the plurality of planting box bodies 2, a plurality of drainage holes 10 that are staggered with the conical protrusions 9 on the lower end of each of the plurality of planting box bodies 2, and planting substrate filled inside each of the plurality of planting box bodies 2.

[0023] Two symmetrically distributed fixing plates 4 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the planting box body 2 located at the top. A spray pipe 5 is fixedly connected between the two fixing plates 4. Multiple evenly distributed nozzles 6 are provided at the lower end of the spray pipe 5. A connecting pipe 8 is connected to the outer wall of the spray pipe 5. A water pump 7 with an inlet connected to the water collection tank 3 is installed on the upper end of the base 1. The inlet of the water pump 7 is located below the filter plate 11, and the outlet of the water pump 7 is connected to the connecting pipe 8.

[0024] In this embodiment: water is added to the water collection tank 3, and the water pump 7 is started. The water pump 7 sends water into the spray pipe 5 and sprays it out from the nozzle 6 to irrigate the soybeans. Excess water is discharged through the drain hole 10 and flows down step by step into the water collection tank 3. It is then filtered by the filter plate 11 and reused, saving water resources. By setting a conical protrusion 9 at the bottom of the inner wall of the planting box body 2 to form a three-dimensional slope, the main root of the soybean is guided to grow down along the sloping surface of the protrusion, while the lateral roots extend laterally from the gaps between the cones. This avoids the root system from becoming entangled due to the traditional flat bottom wall. The conical structure forms a non-planar drainage channel on the bottom wall surface. Excess water flows quickly to the surroundings along the sloping surface of the cone and is discharged from the drain hole 10, preventing the soybean roots from rotting due to waterlogging.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the adjustment mechanism includes two scissor-type telescopic frames 16 that are movably connected to the outer wall of the planting box body 2 via a coupling. The planting box body 2 located at the bottom is fixedly connected to the water collection tank 3. Two electric push rods 12 are installed on the upper end face of the base 1. The output ends of the two electric push rods 12 are fixedly connected to one of the movable planting box bodies 2 via a support plate 13.

[0026] In this embodiment: the controller synchronously starts two electric push rods 12, which drive one of the movable planting box bodies 2 to move upward, and then drive the other movable planting box bodies 2 to rise and fall synchronously through the scissor-type telescopic frame 16, which makes it easy to adjust the spacing between the planting box bodies 2 according to the growth of soybeans, and is highly practical.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, sleeves 15 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the outer walls of the multiple planting box bodies 2 at the top, and pins 14 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the outer walls of the multiple planting box bodies 2 at the bottom, with the multiple pins 14 slidably connected to the multiple sleeves 15 respectively.

[0028] In this embodiment, the pin 14 and sleeve 15 work together to limit the position of the planting box body 2, so that the up and down movement of the planting box body 2 is stable.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the water collection tank 3 is provided with an inlet pipe 17 located above the filter plate 11.

[0030] In this embodiment, water can be easily added to the water collection tank 3 through the water inlet pipe 17.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the middle part of the connecting pipe 8 is a corrugated flexible tube.

[0032] In this embodiment: by setting the middle part of the connecting pipe 8 as a corrugated hose, it is easy for the connecting pipe 8 to extend and retract.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a controller is provided on the outer wall of the water collection tank 3, and the water pump 7 and the electric push rod 12 are both electrically connected to the controller.

[0034] In this embodiment, the controller facilitates the normal operation of the water pump 7 and the electric actuator 12.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When watering soybeans, water is added to the water collection tank 3, and the water pump 7 is started. The water pump 7 sends water into the spray pipe 5 and sprays it out from the nozzle 6 to irrigate the soybeans. Excess water is discharged through the drain hole 10 and flows down step by step into the water collection tank 3. It is then filtered by the filter plate 11 and reused, saving water resources. When adjusting the distance between the planting box bodies 2, the controller synchronously starts two electric push rods 12. The electric push rod 12 drives one of the movable planting box bodies 2 to move upward, and then drives the other movable planting box bodies 2 to move up and down synchronously through the scissor-type telescopic frame 16. This makes it easy to adjust the distance between the planting box bodies 2 according to the growth of the soybeans, and it is highly practical.
