Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Parsley is a biennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Parsley in the family Apiaceae, native to the Mediterranean coast. Its plants grow to a height of approximately 15 to 20 centimeters and have a refreshing aroma and bright green color. Parsley has been used in cooking since ancient Roman times. The edible parts are mainly the tender leaves and stems, which can be eaten raw, cooked with meat, or used as a dried spice or seasoning in soups and other vegetable dishes. It is very popular. When cultivating parsley, it is usually grown in seedling trays.

[0003] When parsley seedlings reach a certain size and need to be transplanted, some problems may arise. If users remove the seedlings directly from the seedling tray, the root system is easily damaged during removal. Damaged roots may disrupt the vascular bundles, preventing nutrients absorbed from the soil from being transported to the above-ground parts, which may affect the survival rate after transplanting. Therefore, we propose a seedling tray for parsley cultivation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a seedling box for parsley cultivation to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a seedling box for celery cultivation, comprising a seedling box body, wherein symmetrically fitted plates are installed inside the seedling box body, and several adjustable support plates are arranged between two of the fitted plates. A placement groove is opened on the upper surface of the support plate, and several connecting plates are arranged between the bottom end of the placement groove and the two inner walls opposite to it. A seedling tray is placed on the connecting plates, and the seedling tray slides against the support plates on its two side walls.

[0006] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the support plate has grooves on both sides, and a limiting and fixing component is installed inside the groove. The limiting and fixing component includes an elastic spring and a limiting block. One end of the elastic spring is connected to the inside of the groove, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the limiting block.

[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the linear array on the surface of the mating plate has several limiting grooves, which are adapted to fit the limiting blocks.

[0008] As a further improvement to this technical solution, guide rails are installed on both inner walls of the placement groove, and sliding grooves are opened on the surface of the guide rails. Sliding blocks are installed on both side walls of the seedling tray, and the sliding grooves and sliding blocks are in sliding cooperation.

[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the bottom of the seedling box body is equipped with several self-locking casters.

[0010] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the surface of the seedling tray is provided with several planting holes.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] In this parsley cultivation seedling tray, a sliding mechanism on the guide rails and a slider on the support plate facilitates the smooth removal of the entire seedling tray from the main body during transplanting. This minimizes pulling and damage to the seedling roots. When transplanting is needed, simply pull the seedling tray gently to move the parsley seedling along with the tray to the appropriate location for transplanting. The seedling, with its intact root ball, is then removed from the main body of the seedling tray, reducing root damage caused by traditional seedling removal methods, preserving root integrity, and improving the survival rate after transplanting.

[0013] On the other hand, the height of the support plate for placing the seedling tray can be freely adjusted by using the limiting groove and the limiting fixing component. As the seedlings grow, their space requirements gradually increase. Raising the support plate can provide more growing space for the seedlings and prevent them from becoming leggy or growing poorly due to limited space. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a seedling box for parsley cultivation, including a seedling box body 100. Considering that some problems may be encountered when parsley seedlings grow to a certain size and need to be transplanted, if the user directly takes the seedlings out from inside the seedling box body 100, the seedling roots are easily damaged during removal. After the roots are damaged, the vascular bundles inside may be destroyed, which makes it impossible for nutrients absorbed from the soil to be transported to the above-ground parts smoothly, which may affect the survival rate after transplanting. Therefore, the following is specifically provided: symmetrical mating plates 101 are installed inside the seedling box body 100. Several adjustable support plates 1010 are arranged between two mating plates 101. The upper surface of the support plates 1010 has a placement groove. Several connecting plates 1014 are arranged between the bottom of the placement groove and the two inner walls. A seedling tray 1011 is placed on top of the connecting plates 1014. Several planting holes are opened on the surface of the seedling tray 1011. The seedling tray 1011 slides against the support plates 1010 on opposite side walls.

[0021] The improvement in this embodiment is as follows:

[0022] The sliding engagement between the seedling tray 1011 and the support plate 1010 on opposite side walls facilitates easy removal of the entire seedling tray 1011 from the seedling box body 100 during transplanting. This minimizes pulling and damage to the seedling roots. When transplanting is necessary, simply pull the seedling tray 1011 gently to transfer the parsley seedling along with the tray to a suitable location for transplanting. The seedling, with its intact root ball, is then removed from the seedling box body 100, reducing root damage during traditional seedling removal methods, maintaining root integrity, and improving the survival rate after transplanting.

[0023] First, to adjust the position and height of the seedling tray 1011, grooves 1013 are provided on both opposite side walls of the support plate 1010. A limiting and fixing component 200 is installed inside the groove 1013. The limiting and fixing component 200 includes an elastic spring 201 and a limiting block 202. One end of the elastic spring 201 is connected to the inside of the groove 1013, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the limiting block 202. A plurality of limiting grooves 1012 are linearly arrayed on the surface of the mating plate 101, and the limiting grooves 1012 are adapted to and cooperate with the limiting blocks 202.

[0024] The user presses the limiting block 202 out of the limiting groove 1012 of the mating plate 101, causing it to disengage from the limiting groove 1012 and enter the groove 1013. This allows the user to freely move the position of the support plate 1010. After adjusting it to a suitable position, the user releases the pressure on the limiting block 202. The elastic spring 201 in the limiting fixing assembly 200 then pushes the limiting block 202 into the limiting groove 1012 for locking and fixing, thus completing the adjustment of the position of the support plate 1010.

[0025] Secondly, guide rails 1015 are installed on both inner walls of the placement slot, and grooves are opened on the surface of the guide rails 1015. Slider blocks 1016 are installed on both sides of the seedling tray 1011, and the grooves and sliders 1016 slide in cooperation. When the seedling tray 1011 is pushed in along the guide rails 1015 on the support plate 1010, the sliders 1016 on the sides of the seedling tray 1011 will slide along the grooves of the guide rails 1015, ensuring that the seedling tray 1011 can accurately enter the designated position.

[0026] In addition, several self-locking casters 102 are installed at the bottom of the seedling box body 100. Depending on the different growth stages of parsley and actual needs, it may be necessary to move the seedling box to different positions. At this time, unlock the self-locking casters 102 at the bottom of the seedling box body 100, easily push the seedling box to the appropriate place, and then relock the casters.

[0027] In practical use, the seedling box for parsley cultivation of this utility model first adjusts the position of the adjustable support plate 1010 according to the size of the parsley seeds and the expected growth, so as to achieve a suitable height and spacing to meet the needs of subsequent seedling cultivation. Specifically, the user presses the limiting block 202 out of the limiting groove 1012 of the mating plate 101, causing it to disengage from the limiting groove 1012 and enter the groove 1013. This allows the user to freely move the position of the support plate 1010. After adjusting to a suitable position, the user releases the pressure on the limiting block 202, and the elastic spring 201 in the limiting fixing assembly 200 pushes the limiting block 202 into the limiting groove 1012 for locking and fixing, thus completing the adjustment of the position of the support plate 1010.

[0028] Next, place the seedling tray 1011 into the placement slot on the support plate 1010. Fill the planting holes of the seedling tray 1011 with an appropriate amount of seedling substrate (such as nutrient soil, peat moss, etc.). Then, evenly sow the parsley seeds on the surface of the seedling substrate and gently cover them with a thin layer of soil, just enough to cover the seeds. After sowing, water the seedling substrate thoroughly as needed, keeping it moist but not wet. Push the seedling tray 1011 along the guide rail 1015 on the support plate 1010. The sliders 1016 on the opposite side walls of the seedling tray 1011 will slide along the grooves of the guide rail 1015, ensuring that the seedling tray 1011 can accurately enter the designated position. Depending on the different growth stages of parsley and actual needs, it may be necessary to move the seedling box to different positions. At this time, unlock the self-locking casters 102 at the bottom of the seedling box body 100, easily push the seedling box to the appropriate place, and then relock the casters. In addition, if individual adjustments or inspections are needed on the seedling tray 1011, the seedling tray 1011 can be carefully removed from the support plate 1010, the corresponding operations performed, and then put back into its original position and secured.
