Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural engineering technology, and in particular to a seedling raising device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs. Background Technology

[0002] The seedling cultivation equipment for Chinese medicinal herbs is designed specifically for the characteristics of different Chinese medicinal herb seeds and the growth needs of seedlings such as ginseng, astragalus, and notoginseng. It features adjustable shelves, seedling trays, temperature and humidity control components, light regulation devices, and integrated water and fertilizer systems. It can provide a suitable growth environment for Chinese medicinal herb seedlings through intelligent or automated methods, effectively solving problems such as low germination rate, uneven growth, and poor management efficiency in traditional seedling cultivation. It integrates environmental control, precision seedling cultivation, and convenient operation, helping to improve the survival rate of Chinese medicinal herb seedlings and the benefits of large-scale planting.

[0003] The seedling cultivation equipment for Chinese herbal medicine planting is based on simulating the natural environment. It collects environmental data in real time through temperature and humidity sensors and light intensity sensors. According to the growth characteristics of different Chinese herbal medicines, it uses PLC control or intelligent terminal to automatically adjust components such as heating wires, fans, shade nets, and LED supplemental lights to maintain suitable temperature, humidity, and light conditions. The water and fertilizer integration system accurately mixes nutrient solution based on the substrate moisture and EC value fed back by soil moisture sensors and supplies it to the seedlings through drip irrigation or sprinkler devices.

[0004] Uneven light distribution occurs in seedlings at different growth stages due to the fixed spacing of the shelves. For example, in the mature stage of sun-loving medicinal herbs, insufficient light for the lower seedlings due to shading from the upper shelves weakens photosynthesis, leading to excessive vegetative growth or yellowing leaves. Climbing medicinal herbs lack three-dimensional space for extension, and the vines' entanglement and compression can easily cause diseases. In the later stages of seedling cultivation of fleshy root medicinal herbs, the increased substrate thickness requires greater load-bearing space, but the fixed shelves may deform due to insufficient load. Therefore, a seedling cultivation device for Chinese herbal medicines is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a seedling cultivation device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs, which aims to improve the problems of uneven light leading to differences in seedling growth, unbalanced temperature control, and limited layout of multi-layer seedling racks in the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A seedling cultivation device for Chinese herbal medicine includes a base plate. A square box is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. A cylinder is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the square box. A slider is fixedly connected to the driving end of the cylinder. A limit block is fixedly connected to the top of the slider. Two limit plates are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the base plate. A connecting rod is slidably connected to the adjacent side of the two limit plates. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod. Guide rods are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the base plate. Multiple support columns are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. Connecting rods are slidably connected to the inner walls of the multiple support columns. A seedling box is connected to the top of the connecting rod. A disassembly assembly for quick disassembly is installed on the inner wall of the seedling box.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The disassembly assembly includes multiple square boxes II. The outer walls of the multiple square boxes II are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the seedling box. The inner walls of the multiple square boxes II are fixedly connected to cylinders II. The driving ends of the multiple cylinders II are fixedly connected to sliding blocks. The inner walls of the front and rear sides of the multiple square boxes II are fixedly connected to support rods. The outer walls of the multiple support rods are fitted with springs I. The outer walls of the multiple support rods are slidably connected to connecting plates. The top ends of the two connecting plates are fixedly connected to inclined blocks. The outer walls of the multiple support rods are fixedly connected to fixing blocks. The top ends of the multiple fixing blocks are fixedly connected to springs II. The other ends of the multiple springs II are fixedly connected to fixing plates II.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The inner wall of the seedling box is slidably connected to two placement platforms, and the top of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the seedling box.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The inner wall of the fixing plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting block, and the outer wall of the slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the square box.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The inner wall of the slider is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rod, and the outer wall of the first fixing plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the first square box;

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The outer wall of the second fixing plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second square box, and the bottom end of the second fixing plate is in contact with the top ends of the two inclined blocks;

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The bottom ends of the two connecting plates are in contact with the top end of the sliding block, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square box.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate, and the outer wall of the sliding block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the square box.

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, the starting cylinder pushes the slider to move, which in turn drives the limiting block and connecting rod one, causing the fixing plate one to rise and fall. The guide rod assists in stabilization, and the support column cooperates with the connecting rod two to allow the seedling box to adjust its height along with the fixing plate one. This not only prevents tall varieties from growing abnormally due to insufficient space, but also allows for the stacking of more seedling trays when cultivating dwarf varieties, increasing the seedling yield per unit area. The height adjustment facilitates the connection between manual operation and mechanization, reducing labor intensity while also enabling efficient integration with transplanting machines and sprinkler irrigation equipment, reducing labor costs. With the addition of temperature and humidity sensors, automated environmental control can be achieved, reducing energy consumption and the risk of pests and diseases, providing a strong guarantee for the standardized and large-scale seedling cultivation of Chinese herbal medicines.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, the starting cylinder two pushes the sliding block to move, squeezing the connecting plate so that it slides along the support rod and compresses the spring one. The inclined block at the top of the connecting plate pushes the fixing plate two upward against the elastic force of the spring two, loosening the fixation of the component and achieving quick disassembly; conversely, installation is completed. During the seedling cultivation process, the placement plate will be contaminated with soil, residual nutrient solution, and withered seedlings, etc. If not cleaned in time, these debris can easily breed bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens, thus affecting the healthy growth of seedlings. The quick-disassembly placement plate allows staff to easily remove it from the seedling equipment for thorough cleaning and disinfection, effectively reducing the chance of pests and diseases.

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a seedling cultivation device for Chinese herbal medicines, comprising a base plate 1, with a square box 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, providing a stable mounting foundation for the square box 2. A cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the square box 2, providing support and positioning for the cylinder 3. The cylinder 3 serves as a power source, with its drive end capable of horizontal extension and retraction. A slider 4 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the cylinder 3, directly fixed to the drive end. When the cylinder 3 is activated, the extension and retraction motion of the drive end is directly transmitted to the slider 4, causing the slider 4 to perform linear reciprocating motion within the square box 2. A limit block 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 4, moving synchronously with the slider 4 to achieve the conversion of force and direction of motion. Two limit plates 6 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base plate 1, symmetrically fixed to provide a sliding track and limiting function for the connecting rod 7.

[0033] Connecting rods 7 are slidably connected to adjacent sides of the two limiting plates 6. Connecting rods 7 slide within grooves on adjacent sides of the two limiting plates 6, restricting their movement and limiting them to vertical movement only. A fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 7, moving synchronously with its lifting motion. Guide rods 9 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the base plate 1, providing lateral support and guidance for the entire lifting structure. Multiple support columns 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, providing vertical support for the seedling box 12.

[0034] Multiple support columns 10 are slidably connected to their inner walls by connecting rods 2 11. The connecting rods 2 11 slide along the inner walls of the support columns 10, providing a sliding track and support for the connecting rods 2 11. A seedling box 12 is connected to the top of the connecting rods 2 11, and the seedling box 12 is fixed to the top of the connecting rods 2 11. The connecting rods 2 11 transmit the lifting movement of the fixing plate 1 8 to the seedling box 12, enabling height adjustment of the seedling box 12. A disassembly assembly for quick disassembly is installed on the inner wall of the seedling box 12, allowing for the rapid disassembly and installation of internal components.

[0035] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The disassembly assembly includes multiple square boxes 13. The outer walls of the multiple square boxes 13 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the seedling box 12. The outer walls of the square boxes 13 are fixed to the inner wall of the seedling box 12, providing installation space and protection for the disassembly assembly. The inner walls of the multiple square boxes 13 are fixedly connected to cylinders 14. The cylinders 14 are fixed to the inner walls of the square boxes 13, serving as the power source for the disassembly assembly and providing power for disassembly or installation operations. Each of the driving ends of multiple cylinders 14 is fixedly connected to a sliding block 15. The sliding block 15 is fixed to the driving end of cylinder 14, converting the telescopic motion of cylinder 14 into linear sliding. Each of the inner walls of the front and rear sides of multiple square boxes 13 is fixedly connected to a support rod 16. The support rod 16 is fixed to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of square boxes 13, providing a sliding track and support for the connecting plate 18, ensuring its motion stability. Each of the outer walls of the support rod 16 is fitted with a spring 17. The spring 17 is fitted on the outer wall of the support rod 16, providing buffer and restoring force when the connecting plate 18 slides, avoiding hard collisions and facilitating repeated operation.

[0036] Multiple support rods 16 are slidably connected to connecting plates 18 on their outer walls. The connecting plates 18 slide on the outer walls of the support rods 16, receive the thrust of the sliding blocks 15, and transmit power. Two inclined blocks 19 are fixedly connected to the top of each connecting plate 18. The inclined blocks 19 are fixed to the top of the connecting plates 18 and change the direction of the force through the inclined structure. Multiple support rods 16 are fixedly connected to fixing blocks 20 on their outer walls. The fixing blocks 20 are fixed to the outer walls of the support rods 16 and limit the sliding range of the connecting plates 18. Multiple fixing blocks 20 are fixedly connected to the top of each fixing block 20. One end of the spring 21 is fixed to the top of the fixing block 20, and the other end is connected to the fixing plate 22, providing pre-tightening force and reset force to the fixing plate 22 to realize the fixing and loosening of the component. The other end of multiple spring 21 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 22. The fixing plate 22 is connected to the fixing block 20 through the spring 21 and clamps or loosens the component to be disassembled under the action of the spring 21.

[0037] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The inner wall of the seedling box 12 is slidably connected to two placement platforms 23. The inner wall of the seedling box 12 provides a horizontal sliding track for the placement platforms 23, allowing the placement platforms 23 to be pulled out along the track. The top of the fixed plate 8 is fixedly connected to the seedling box 12. The fixed plate 8 synchronously transmits its own lifting movement to the seedling box 12, realizing the height adjustment of the seedling box 12. The inner wall of the fixed plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting block 5. The inner wall of the fixed plate 8 slides on the inner wall of the limiting block 5, and the limiting block 5 restricts the horizontal displacement of the fixed plate 8, ensuring that it only slides on the inner wall of the limiting block 5. It can be raised and lowered vertically to avoid shaking and improve adjustment accuracy. The outer wall of slider 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of square box 2. The outer wall of slider 4 slides on the inner wall of square box 2. Square box 2 provides guidance and support for slider 4, ensuring that slider 4 moves smoothly in a straight line under the drive of cylinder 3 and reducing frictional resistance. The inner wall of slider 4 is slidably connected to the outer wall of guide rod 9. The inner wall of slider 4 slides on the outer wall of guide rod 9. Guide rod 9 further constrains the movement trajectory of slider 4, preventing it from shifting laterally when under force and enhancing stability.

[0038] The outer wall of fixed plate 18 is slidably connected to the outer wall of square box 12. The outer wall of fixed plate 18 slides on the outer wall of square box 12, providing external support for fixed plate 18. The outer wall of fixed plate 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of square box 23. The outer wall of fixed plate 22 slides on the inner wall of square box 23, providing a vertical sliding track for fixed plate 22. The bottom end of fixed plate 22 contacts the top ends of two inclined blocks 19. The inclined structure of the inclined blocks 19 converts the horizontal thrust of connecting plate 18 into the vertical lift of fixed plate 22. The bottom ends of the two connecting plates 18 contact the top ends of sliding blocks 15. The horizontal movement of sliding blocks 15 pushes connecting plate 18 along support rod 16. The sliding block 15 has one end fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square box 13, and the other end connected to the connecting plate 18. When the sliding block 15 retracts, the elastic restoring force of the spring 17 causes the connecting plate 18 to quickly return to its original position, preparing for the next operation. The other end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 18. The spring 17 fits on the outer wall of the connecting plate 18, limiting its sliding range and preventing damage to the components due to excessive sliding. At the same time, it absorbs vibration and reduces noise during movement. The outer wall of the sliding block 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the square box 13. The outer wall of the sliding block 15 slides on the inner wall of the square box 13. The square box 13 provides a closed movement space for the sliding block 15, protecting it from external contamination and ensuring the effective transmission of the driving force of the cylinder 14.

[0039] Working Principle: When the height of the seedling box 12 needs to be adjusted, the cylinder 3 on the inner wall of the square box 2 is activated. The drive end of the cylinder 3 extends or retracts, causing the slider 4 to slide left and right inside the square box 2. The limiting block 5 at the top of the slider 4 moves accordingly, pushing the connecting rod 7 that cooperates with it. Under the guidance of the two limiting plates 6, the connecting rod 7 slides smoothly along the groove on its adjacent side, thereby driving the fixed plate 8 fixed on the outer wall to rise and fall. During this process, the guide rods 9 on the inner walls of the left and right sides of the bottom plate 1 provide lateral support for the entire lifting structure, preventing swaying or deviation during adjustment and ensuring structural stability. The sliding connection structure formed by the support column 10 at the top of the bottom plate 1 and the connecting rod 11 allows the seedling box 12 to rise or fall synchronously with the fixed plate 8. When the fixed plate 8 moves upward, it lifts the seedling box 12 through the connecting rod 11, and vice versa, causing the seedling box 12 to fall, thus realizing the function of flexibly adjusting the height of the seedling box 12 according to the different needs of Chinese herbal medicine seedling cultivation.

[0040] When the placement platform 23 inside the seedling box 12 needs to be disassembled, cylinder 14 inside the square box 13 is activated, and its drive end pushes the sliding block 15 to move within the square box 13. The sliding block 15 presses against the connecting plate 18, causing the connected spring 17 to extend and retract elastically, sliding along the support rod 16. The inclined block 19 at the top of the connecting plate 18 moves accordingly, pushing the fixing plate 22 upward through the inclined structure, compressing the spring 21, and causing the fixing plate 22 to disengage from the clamping state of the component. At this time, the spring 17 provides cushioning when the connecting plate 18 slides, avoiding hard collisions that could damage the component. At the same time, the fixing block 20 limits the sliding range of the connecting plate 18 on the support rod 16, ensuring accurate movement trajectory. When cylinder 14 retracts, the spring 21 resets and pushes the fixing plate 22 downward. The inclined block 19 drives the connecting plate 18 back down along the support rod 16, and the spring 17 assists the connecting plate 18 in resetting, allowing the fixing plate 22 to re-fix the component, realizing bidirectional operation of disassembly and installation.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
