Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crop seedling cultivation and planting technology, specifically a crop seedling pot assembly that allows for fixed-distance planting. Background Technology

[0002] Modern agriculture often uses seedling trays for planting, such as for peppers, tomatoes, and watermelons. Seeds are cultivated into seedlings in the trays, and then the seedling trays are placed in the planting furrows. After watering and covering with soil, planting is complete. However, this traditional planting method has the following problems: 1. The seedlings need to be removed from the trays before planting, which is cumbersome; 2. When placing a batch of seedling trays in the planting furrows, they need to be marked at fixed points to maintain a uniform distance between multiple trays, which increases the number of steps and labor. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a crop seedling tray assembly that allows for fixed-distance planting.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a crop seedling pot group that can be planted at fixed intervals, including multiple seedling pots arranged in a straight line, with adjacent seedling pots connected by equidistant connecting parts, and the seedling pots and the equidistant connecting parts are both made of soil-degradable materials.

[0005] Furthermore, the equidistant connecting component is a connecting rope or a connecting strap.

[0006] Furthermore, the seedling tray is cylindrical or cubic in shape.

[0007] Furthermore, the equidistant connecting ropes are connected at the midpoint of the side edges of two adjacent cubic seedling pots.

[0008] Furthermore, the soil biodegradable material is PLA nonwoven fabric or starch plastic.

[0009] Furthermore, lightweight nutrient soil is used as the cultivation soil in the seedling pot.

[0010] Furthermore, a fixing rope is connected to the outside of the seedling pot at the beginning, and a pulling rope is connected to the outside of the seedling pot at the end.

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

[0012] 1. This utility model relates to a crop seedling tray set for fixed-distance planting. Adjacent seedling trays are connected by equidistant connecting parts. When placing multiple seedling trays in a planting trench, simply pull the outermost seedling tray to arrange multiple seedling trays in a row. Adjacent seedling trays can maintain an equidistant arrangement, ensuring uniform planting. In addition, both the seedling trays and the equidistant connecting ropes are made of soil-degradable materials, so there is no need to remove the trays before planting, making operation convenient.

[0013] 2. This utility model relates to a crop seedling tray assembly for fixed-distance planting. The seedling trays can be cylindrical or cubical. Cylindrical seedling trays use less material, saving costs, while cubical seedling trays allow adjacent trays to align during transportation, preventing soil deformation caused by shaking and protecting the seedlings. Furthermore, lightweight nutrient soil is used as the cultivation soil inside the trays, ensuring sufficient nutrition while allowing for a larger batch of trays and higher planting efficiency. Additionally, a fixing rope is connected to the outside of the starting tray, and a pulling rope is connected to the outside of the ending tray. When placing the trays in the planting trench, the fixing rope is first secured to the ground with nails, and then the pulling rope is pulled to arrange multiple trays in a batch, making operation convenient.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, 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, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a crop seedling tray group for fixed-distance planting includes multiple seedling trays 1 arranged in a straight line. Two adjacent seedling trays 1 are connected by equidistant connecting parts 2. The seedling trays 1 and the equidistant connecting parts 2 are both made of soil-degradable materials, and the equidistant connecting parts 2 are connecting ropes. Figure 1 In the image, multiple seedling pots 1 are stacked together during transportation, with adjacent seedling pots 1 contacting and supporting each other, resulting in strong stability. Figure 2 In the middle, multiple seedling pots 1 are arranged in a spread-out manner within the planting ditch.

[0021] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are ten seedling trays 1, each in a cube shape. The equidistant connecting ropes 2 are connected at the midpoint of the side edges of two adjacent cube-shaped seedling trays (this connection method ensures that the connecting ropes and the diagonal of the cube-shaped seedling tray are in a straight line; when pulled, the seedling tray will deflect, preventing the connecting ropes from breaking during rapid pulling). The biodegradable soil material is PLA non-woven fabric, 2mm thick, with a porous design for breathability and water permeability. A fixing rope 3 is connected to the outer side of the starting seedling tray 1, and a pulling rope 4 is connected to the outer side of the ending seedling tray 1.

[0022] This utility model embodiment provides a crop seedling tray set for fixed-distance planting. In use, a set of ten seedling trays is transferred from a transport vehicle to a tray. Multiple sets of seedling trays can be placed on one tray. One set of seedling trays is pushed into the planting trench, and the fixing rope 3 connected to the outer side of the initial seedling tray 1 is fixed to the ground with nails. Then, the pulling rope 4 connected to the outer side of the final seedling tray 1 is pulled, straightening the fixed-distance connecting ropes 2 between the multiple seedling trays 1, thus arranging the multiple seedling trays 1 at a fixed distance for even planting. Then, the seedling tray sets are placed and stretched until the planting trench is completely filled. Watering and covering with soil completes the planting. During the growth process, the seedling trays and connecting ropes naturally degrade, without affecting crop growth. Furthermore, there is no need to remove the trays during planting, making operation convenient and saving manpower.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the crop seedling tray assembly for fixed-distance planting in this embodiment of the present invention differs from that in embodiment 1 in that: the equidistant connecting component 2 is a connecting belt, the material of which is the same as that of the seedling tray, both being PLA non-woven fabric, and the width of the connecting belt is the same as the height of the seedling tray.

[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, a connecting strap is used to connect two adjacent seedling pots. Compared with a connecting rope, it provides stronger support and can improve the stability of the seedling pots during movement, preventing them from tipping over.

[0026] Example 3

[0027] like Figure 4As shown, the crop seedling tray group for fixed-distance planting in this embodiment of the present invention differs from that in Embodiment 1 in that:

[0028] The seedling tray 1 is cylindrical, which uses less material and saves costs compared to the cube shape, but its transportation stability is not as good as that of the cube shape. However, this can be overcome by placing it on a special tray.

[0029] The soil biodegradable material is starch plastic, which is harder and has better support than PLA non-woven fabric, but degrades more slowly. Therefore, perforations are set on the sides and bottom of the seedling pot to improve water and air permeability, which is beneficial to the growth of crop seedlings.

[0030] Lightweight nutrient soil is used as the cultivation soil in the seedling pots. Under the premise of providing sufficient nutrition, the weight reduction can increase the number of seedling pots in a set, such as twenty pots.

[0031] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still make modifications or equivalent substitutions to the specific implementation of this utility model. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model are within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
