Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scallion cultivation technology, specifically to a seedling raising device for scallion planting. Background Technology

[0002] Scallions, also known as green onions or leeks, are cultivated in modern agriculture using seedling trays, which offer advantages such as ease of management and operation, and improved seedling efficiency.

[0003] As the scallion seedlings grow, the space in the seedling tray gradually becomes smaller, limiting the expansion of the scallion roots and the growth of the plants. They need to be transplanted to a larger space, such as a field or a larger container, to provide the scallions with sufficient growing space and promote their healthy growth.

[0004] However, existing seedling trays or seedling devices are prone to causing the soil and roots of scallion seedlings to separate when transplanting them. This may damage the roots, and the roots need time to reconnect with and adapt to the new soil. During this period, the growth of scallions may become uneven and result in poor growth. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a seedling raising device for scallion cultivation, so as to solve at least one technical problem existing in the prior art.

[0008] Multiple partitions are installed inside the incubator. Each partition is slidably installed in a slot on the inner wall of the incubator, and the bottom of each partition is attached and fixed to the top of the lifting plate. At the same time, the partitions divide the area above the lifting plate into multiple incubation spaces.

[0009] Two extrusion plates are slidably installed on the top of the lifting plate in each cultivation space. The outer sides of the two extrusion plates are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the corresponding sides of the cultivation box. The partition, extrusion plates and lifting plate form a cultivation unit. When the lifting plate is at the bottom, the connection position of the connecting rod to the extrusion plate is lower than the connection position to the inner wall of the cultivation box.

[0010] This utility model further defines the technical solution as follows:

[0011] Preferably, the top of the lifting plate located in each culture unit is provided with a through ventilation slot.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a seedling raising device for scallion cultivation, including a cultivation box 1, and further comprising:

[0029] A lifting plate 3 is vertically installed inside the incubator 1, and the lifting plate 3 can be moved up and down along the inner wall of the incubator 1 for adjustment. The space between the incubator 1 and the lifting plate 3 is a water storage space.

[0030] Multiple partitions 2 are provided inside the incubator 1. Each partition 2 is slidably installed in a groove on the inner wall of the incubator 1. The bottom of the partition 2 is attached and fixed to the top of the lifting plate 3, and the partition 2 divides the upper part of the lifting plate 3 into multiple incubation spaces.

[0031] Two extrusion plates 4 are slidably installed on the top of the lifting plate 3 in each cultivation space. The two extrusion plates 4 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the cultivation box 1 by connecting rods 5. The partition plate 2, the extrusion plates 4 and the lifting plate 3 form a cultivation unit. When the lifting plate 3 is at the bottom, the connection position of the connecting rod 5 and the extrusion plate 4 is lower than the connection position with the inner wall of the cultivation box 1.

[0032] When using this seedling raising equipment, fill each cultivation unit with potting soil, then sow the seeds and raise seedlings. After the seedling raising is completed, refer to... Figure 3 In the diagram, a and b represent the root ball and the scallion seedling, respectively.

[0033] When transplanting the cultivated scallion seedlings is necessary, the lifting plate 3 can be moved upwards within the cultivation box 1 via an external structure. This causes the partition 2, the soil in the cultivation unit, and the scallion seedlings to move upwards together. Simultaneously, when the lifting plate 3 is at its lowest position, the connection point between the connecting rod 5 and the pressing plate 4 is lower than the connection point with the inner wall of the cultivation box 1. (See reference...) Figure 3 Therefore, when the lifting plate 3 drives the pressing plates 4 on both sides to move upward, the two pressing plates 4 will first move towards the middle to press the soil in a concentrated manner, so that the roots of the scallion seedlings are more closely connected with the soil, and at the same time, it is also conducive to the soil forming a more compact soil ball, so as to facilitate the subsequent transplanting of the soil ball and the scallion seedlings as a whole.

[0034] Then, as the pressing plate 4 moves upward, when the connecting rod 5 rotates past the horizontal state, the two pressing plates 4 will move away from each other under the connecting action of the connecting rod 5 and separate from the soil, so that there is a gap between the soil and the pressing plate 4. This makes it easier to insert pliers or other transplanting tools so that the soil ball can be taken out directly from the cultivation unit as a whole.

[0035] In this way, by compressing the root ball before transplanting, it is not only easier to remove the root ball as a whole for transplanting, but also to prevent the soil from becoming too loose and separating from the roots of the scallion seedlings, thus protecting the roots and significantly improving the survival rate of the scallion seedlings. At the same time, it can also help the seedlings adapt to the new environment more quickly after transplanting, shorten the recovery period, and allow the scallion seedlings to enter a normal growth state earlier.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that before transplanting, the soil can be watered appropriately so that the root ball can be shaped and it can also be easily separated from the compression plate 4.

[0037] In one preferred embodiment, an implementation method is provided that facilitates ventilation and watering within the cultivation unit;

[0038] Each of the lifting plates 3 located in each culture unit has a through-ventilation slot on its top.

[0039] Each of the lifting plates 3 in each culture unit is equipped with a base liner 7 on top. The base liner 7 is made of a flexible, absorbent material. The bottom of the base liner 7 is also connected to a water guide core 8 that passes through the ventilation holes and extends into the space below the lifting plate 3.

[0040] For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 By placing a liner 7 on the lifting plate 3, on the one hand, the soil can be prevented from directly contacting and sticking to the lifting plate 3, making it difficult to remove the soil ball completely during transplanting. On the other hand, the liner 7 and the water-conducting core 8 connected below can draw water upward into the soil from the water storage space below, so that the soil in the cultivation unit can maintain sufficient moisture and ensure the normal growth of the scallion seedlings.

[0041] Meanwhile, the ventilation holes can also ventilate the soil and prevent it from becoming compacted. The elastic design of the liner 7 is to allow the extrusion plates 4 to be squeezed together when they are close to each other, without hindering the extrusion process.

[0042] Furthermore, water and fertilizer can be added to the water storage space below, which can fertilize the soil while releasing water and improve the nutrients in the soil.

[0043] In one preferred embodiment, an implementation method is provided that can automatically replenish water in the water storage space;

[0044] One side of the incubator 1 is also connected to a water tank 9 via a water pipe, and a solenoid valve 10 is installed inside the water pipe. The water tank 9 is connected to an external water supply pump via an inlet pipe. A water level monitor is also installed inside the incubator 1.

[0045] For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 Water can be added to the water tank 9 by the water supply pump, and the water level in the incubator 1 can be monitored by the water level monitor to ensure that the water guide core 8 is always underwater. At the same time, the solenoid valve 10 can be switched on and off so that the water in the water tank 9 can be replenished into the water storage space in a timely manner.

[0046] In one preferred embodiment, an implementation method is provided that can control the vertical movement and adjustment of the lifting plate 3;

[0047] The incubator 1 has built-in spaces on both sides, and a rotating shaft 11 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the incubator 1 within the built-in space. The rotating shaft 11 is driven by a servo motor installed on the outer wall of the incubator 1. Two discs 12 are provided in the middle of the rotating shaft 11, and the two discs 12 are fixedly connected by a pin at a position away from the center. A connecting rod 13 is rotatably connected between the top of the lifting plate 3 and the pin.

[0048] For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 A crank-slider structure can be formed between the disc 12, the connecting rod 13, and the lifting plate 3. The rotating shaft 11 can be driven to rotate by the servo motor, which in turn drives the lifting plate 3 to move vertically up and down through the connecting rod 13, thus completing the above-mentioned transplanting preparation.

[0049] In one preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the incubator 1 is also fixed with a limiting strip 6 for sliding and limiting the lifting plate 3.

[0050] In one preferred embodiment, the sidewall of the extrusion plate 4 is provided with openable ventilation holes.

[0051] The standard parts used in this embodiment can be purchased directly from the market, while the non-standard structural parts described in the specification and drawings can be processed directly based on existing technical knowledge without any doubt. At the same time, the connection methods of each component adopt mature conventional methods in the existing technology, and the machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0052] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
