Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of corn cultivation and breeding technology, and in particular relates to a corn cultivation breeding device that facilitates seedling collection. Background Technology
[0002] Maize cultivation and breeding refers to the process of selecting, improving, and propagating maize varieties through scientific methods, with the aim of increasing maize yield, disease resistance, adaptability, and other economic traits. This process usually involves a combination of traditional breeding methods and modern breeding technologies in order to obtain more efficient and higher-quality maize varieties.
[0003] The existing utility model with authorization announcement number CN220831033U discloses a seedling cultivation device for maize breeding and cultivation, including a box body. A column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the box body. A support plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the column body. There are several support plates, and the several support plates are distributed at equal distances. A cultivation box is provided at each of the four corners of the top of the support plate. A rotating plate is movably connected to the top and bottom of the surface of the column body.
[0004] Using the above technical solution, a motor drives a gear to rotate, which in turn drives a gear ring to rotate, which in turn drives a rotating plate to rotate, which in turn drives a vertical plate to rotate, which in turn drives a spray plate to rotate, and the spray plate to rotate a water pipe. Simultaneously, the lower half of the water-using rotary joint also rotates with the rotating plate. This joint connects to an external water source, and water flows through the water pipe into the spray plate, which is positioned directly above the cultivation box. The water sprayed from the spray plate evenly covers the cultivation box, ensuring that all the corn seedlings inside can be cultivated. This method offers the advantages of highly efficient breeding and cultivation. However, during use, it is inconvenient to remove the corn seedlings from the cultivation box. Using manual tools to dig them out can easily damage the root system, significantly affecting the quality of the seedlings and making the method unsuitable for use.
[0005] To address this issue, we propose a convenient seedling extraction device for corn cultivation. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the prior art that it is inconvenient to remove corn seedlings from the culture box, and to propose a corn cultivation breeding device that facilitates the removal of seedlings.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A convenient seedling extraction device for maize cultivation includes an incubator. Three fixed plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator. A cultivation plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each fixed plate. An air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each fixed plate. Several push plates are slidably connected to the inner wall of each cultivation plate. The outer surface of each air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator. An air cylinder is fixedly connected to the right end of each air inlet pipe. An air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each air cylinder. A first one-way valve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each air inlet pipe. A second one-way valve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each air inlet pipe. Three fixed frames are fixedly connected to the right side of the incubator. An electric push rod is fixedly connected to the left side of each fixed frame. A piston block is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of each electric push rod. The outer surface of each piston block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the air cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom surface of the incubator is fixedly connected to four support legs, and the bottom surface of each support leg is fixedly connected to a base.
[0010] Preferably, the incubator has two hinged doors on its front, and each door has a handle fixedly connected to its front.
[0011] Preferably, a fixed frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each of the opening and closing doors, and a transparent plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each fixed frame.
[0012] Preferably, a first reinforcing block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of each of the fixing frames, and the left side of each first reinforcing block is fixedly connected to the right side of the incubator.
[0013] Preferably, a second reinforcing block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of each of the fixing plates, and the back of each second reinforcing block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom end of the water supply pipe is fixedly connected to a flange, and the inner wall of the flange is threaded with four bolts.
[0018] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] By incorporating an electric pusher, when the corn seedlings need to be removed, the pusher is activated. The pusher moves a piston block within the air cylinder, drawing in air through a first one-way valve. This air then passes through an air pipe and a second one-way valve, filling the cultivation plate. The air pushes the plate upwards, allowing the corn seedlings to rise smoothly from the cultivation plate. This avoids damage to the seedling roots caused by manual or tool-based digging, ensuring root integrity and effectively improving seedling quality. The cultivation plate design provides excellent fixation and support for the corn seedling roots, further enhancing the seedling's quality through the smooth pushing action of the pusher. This design reduces the risk of root damage during seedling collection. The incubator features multiple fixed and cultivation plates, creating a multi-layered cultivation space that significantly improves space utilization. More corn seedlings can be cultivated within a limited space, and each layer can be independently removed via an inflatable push plate, making operation convenient and efficient. Furthermore, the combination of an air cylinder, air inlet pipe, and one-way valve ensures unidirectional gas flow and stable delivery, making the entire seedling collection process safe and reliable. This significantly enhances the practicality and convenience of the breeding device, effectively preventing seedling quality degradation and inconvenience caused by improper seedling collection.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0030] Reference Figure 1-8 A corn cultivation breeding device for easy seedling collection includes a culture box 1. Three fixing plates 9 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the culture box 1. A cultivation plate 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each fixing plate 9. Four support legs 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the culture box 1. A base 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of each support leg 3. The support legs 3 are made of high-strength metal, have good compressive strength, and can stably support the weight of the entire culture box 1, ensuring that the breeding device will not shake or tilt during use. The base 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of each support leg 3. The area of the base 4 is larger than the bottom surface area of the support leg 3, thereby increasing the contact area with the ground and further improving the stability of the device.
[0031] Each fixed plate 9 has an air inlet tube 13 fixedly connected to its inner wall, and each culture plate 10 has several push plates 24 slidably connected to its inner wall. The front of the incubator 1 has two hinged doors 5, and each door 5 has a handle 6 fixedly connected to its front. The doors 5 are connected to the incubator 1 by hinges. This hinged connection allows the doors 5 to be opened and closed flexibly, making it convenient for staff to operate and maintain the inside of the incubator 1. The handle 6 is designed in accordance with ergonomic principles and its surface is treated with anti-slip material. When staff hold the handle 6, they can easily open or close the doors 5, improving the convenience of operation.
[0032] The outer surface of each air tube 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator 1. The right end of each air tube 13 is fixedly connected to an air cylinder 17. The inner wall of each opening and closing door 5 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 7. The inner wall of each fixing frame 7 is fixedly connected to a transparent plate 8. The fixing frame 7 adopts a metal frame structure, which has high strength and stability and can firmly fix the transparent plate 8. The transparent plate 8 is made of high light transmittance organic glass material. The staff can clearly observe the growth of corn seedlings inside the incubator 1 through the transparent plate 8 without opening the opening and closing door 5, reducing interference with the growth environment of corn seedlings.
[0033] Each air cylinder 17 has an air inlet pipe 18 fixedly connected to its outer surface, and each air inlet pipe 18 has a first one-way valve 19 fixedly connected to its outer surface. Each mounting frame 2 has a first reinforcing block 14 fixedly connected to its bottom surface. The left side of each first reinforcing block 14 is fixedly connected to the right side of the incubator 1. The first reinforcing block 14 has a triangular structure. By utilizing the stability principle of triangles, the connection strength between the mounting frame 2 and the incubator 1 is enhanced. The left side of each first reinforcing block 14 is fixedly connected to the right side of the incubator 1. Through this connection method, the pressure borne by the mounting frame 2 when supporting components such as the electric push rod 12 can be effectively distributed, preventing the mounting frame 2 from becoming loose or deformed.
[0034] Each air tube 13 has a second one-way valve 23 fixedly connected to its outer surface, and each fixed plate 9 has a second reinforcing block 25 fixedly connected to its bottom surface. The back of each second reinforcing block 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator 1. The second reinforcing block 25 also adopts a triangular design and is made of the same material as the fixed plate 9, which has good mechanical properties. The setting of the second reinforcing block 25 strengthens the connection between the fixed plate 9 and the inner wall of the incubator 1, making the fixed plate 9 more stable and reliable when bearing the weight of the cultivation plate 10 and corn seedlings, preventing the fixed plate 9 from shifting or shaking, and providing a stable support platform for the cultivation of corn seedlings.
[0035] Three fixed brackets 2 are fixedly connected to the right side of the incubator 1. Five pressure relief pipes 20 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of each inflation pipe 13. A solenoid valve 21 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each pressure relief pipe 20. The diameter of the pressure relief pipe 20 is designed according to the internal pressure of the inflation pipe 13, which can discharge excess gas after the inflation pipe 13 is used. The solenoid valve 21 is precisely controlled to open and close through the control system to achieve rapid pressure relief and ensure the safety of the inflation pipe 13 and the entire inflation system.
[0036] Each fixed frame 2 has an electric push rod 12 fixedly connected to its left side. Six supplemental lights 11 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the incubator 1. A water supply pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator 1. The supplemental lights 11 use LED light sources, which have the advantages of high luminous efficiency, low energy consumption and long life. They can simulate natural light conditions, provide sufficient light for the photosynthesis of corn seedlings and promote the healthy growth of corn seedlings. The water supply pipe 16 is made of corrosion-resistant plastic material. Its internal channel design is reasonable and can ensure that water is evenly delivered into the incubator 1. The water supply pipe 16 is used to supplement water to the corn seedlings in the incubator 1 to meet the water needs of the corn seedlings during their growth process.
[0037] Each electric push rod 12 has a piston block 22 fixedly connected to its telescopic end. Three connecting plates 15 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water supply pipe 16. The outer surface of each connecting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator 1. The shape of the connecting plate 15 is adapted to the water supply pipe 16. This connection method makes the installation of the water supply pipe 16 in the incubator 1 more stable, avoids the water supply pipe 16 from shaking or shifting during use, and ensures the normal operation of water supply.
[0038] The outer surface of each piston block 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the air cylinder 17. The bottom end of the water supply pipe 16 is fixedly connected to a flange 26. The inner wall of the flange 26 is threaded with four bolts 27. The flange 26 is made of metal and has high strength and sealing performance. The flange 26 is connected to the external water supply pipe by the four bolts 27. This connection method is not only convenient for installation and disassembly, but also ensures the sealing of the connection part, prevents water leakage, and ensures that the water supply pipe 16 can stably obtain water from the outside, providing a reliable water supply for the cultivation of corn seedlings.
[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the operator first connects the electric push rod 12, supplemental light 11, and solenoid valve 21 to the power supply, ensuring a stable power supply. Then, the operator opens the opening door 5 and begins cultivation through the cultivation plate 10. During the growth of the corn seedlings, the supplemental light 11 inside the cultivation box 1 plays a crucial role, providing additional light to meet the photosynthetic needs of the corn seedlings and promote their healthy growth. Simultaneously, the water supply pipe 16 is connected to an external water source via flange 26 and bolts 27, providing the necessary water to the corn seedlings. The operator can adjust the water supply by controlling the water supply pipe 16 according to the growth needs of the corn seedlings. The bottom of the water supply pipe 16 has a drip hole, allowing water to be easily dripped onto the cultivation plate 10. As the corn seedlings grow, the convenience of this device becomes fully apparent when it is necessary to remove them. At this time, the operator activates the electric push rod 12 on the fixing frame 2. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 12 drives the piston block 22 to inflate. The piston block 22 slides inside the cylinder 17. When the piston block 22 is pulled backward, air can be drawn into the inflation cylinder 17 through the air inlet pipe 18 and the first one-way valve 19. The first one-way valve 19 can only allow air to flow into the inflation cylinder 17 and cannot allow it to flow out, while the second one-way valve 23 can only deliver air to the inflation pipe 13 and cannot allow it to flow out. Therefore, as the piston block 22 moves back and forth in a cycle, the process of drawing in air and then inflating it can be achieved. Then, the air enters the cultivation plate 10 through the inflation pipe 13. After the air enters the cultivation plate 10, the pressure will gradually increase. As the pressure gradually increases, it pushes the push plate 24 inside the cultivation plate 10 upwards. The push plate 24 contacts the roots of the corn seedlings. As the push plate 24 rises, the corn seedlings are gradually pushed out of the cultivation plate 10. This seedling removal method avoids the damage to the roots of the corn seedlings that may be caused by traditional seedling removal methods, ensuring the integrity and survival rate of the corn seedlings. After the seedling removal is completed, the staff can open the pressure relief pipe 20 by controlling the solenoid valve 21 to release the air in the inflation pipe 13, so that the push plate 24 can be reset for the next operation.
