Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedling equipment technology, and in particular to a hydroponic seedling cultivation device. Background Technology
[0002] Hydroponic seedling equipment is a specialized device for cultivating seedlings using soilless cultivation technology. It mainly utilizes hydroponics (using nutrient solution instead of soil to provide the nutrients needed for plant growth) to achieve automated control and environmental regulation of seed germination and seedling growth.
[0003] Traditional methods require manual adjustment of the incubation box position to match light and space requirements, which is difficult to dynamically and accurately control according to the seedling growth stage. This can easily lead to uneven lighting or overcrowding, affecting the quality of seedling cultivation. Manual adjustment of the incubation box position and control of drainage are inefficient and difficult to accurately match the seedling growth needs. The adjustment mechanism is also prone to shaking during operation, resulting in inaccurate adjustment of the incubation box position and affecting the control of light, space and other conditions.

The sliding guide design of the cylinder and the snap-fit plate ensures accurate positioning of the leak plate during installation, avoiding installation failures caused by misalignment in traditional snap-fit structures. Its modular design allows the leak plate to be independently disassembled and cleaned, avoiding bacterial growth due to residual nutrient solution in traditional fixed structures, thus reducing the risk of seedling disease. The rigid connection between the snap-fit plate and the leak plate also ensures that the padding paper and seeds are not subjected to external impact during replacement, protecting the seedling roots from damage, making it particularly suitable for cultivation scenarios involving fragile seedlings.

[0039] Working principle:
[0040] First, pull the circular plate 702, causing the circular plate 702 to slide the cylinder 703 against the inner wall of the snap-fit plate 701. At this time, the cylinder 703 drives the limiting plate 706 away from the outer wall of the cultivation box 4, causing the elastic element 705 to be compressed. Place the snap-fit plate 701 on the outer wall of the cultivation box 4. At this time, the snap-fit plate 701 can drive the perforated plate 5 into the inner wall of the cultivation box 4. Release the circular plate 702, causing the circular plate 702 to drive the cylinder 703, thereby resetting the elastic element 705. Replace the component 7 and fix it on the outer wall of the cultivation box 4. At this time, select suitable seeds and place them on top of the pad paper 6. Then, lay the pad paper 6 flat on top of the perforated plate 5 inside the cultivation box 4. The purpose of the liner paper 6 is to provide a soft implantation environment for the seeds, while also helping to retain moisture and prevent seeds from falling off. At this point, the snap-fit plate 701 is fixed to the slotted plate 5. Next, the outer wall of the cultivation box 4 is fixedly installed to the outer wall of the rectangular plate 308, ensuring a secure connection. The pre-treated seeds are then evenly sown onto the surface of the liner paper 6 inside the cultivation box 4. After sowing, the position of the cultivation box 4 can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the seeds and factors such as light and space by activating the adjustment component 3. The motor 302 is then turned on via the controller 9. After the motor 302 is powered on, its output end begins to rotate, driving the lead screw 303 to rotate synchronously. Since the lead screw 303 is threadedly connected to the slider, the slider moves along the lead screw 303 as it rotates. The sliding plate 305 slides within the convex plate 304, while the arc-shaped groove 306 on the outer wall of the sliding plate 305 slides in conjunction with the sliding rod 307. This causes the sliding rod 307 to drive the rectangular plate 308 to slide along the circular rod 309, thereby allowing the cultivation box 4 to be adjusted within a certain range to meet different cultivation needs. When the seedlings grow to a certain stage and the nutrient solution needs to be replaced, the electric drain 8 can be activated via the controller 9. After the electric drain 8 is opened, the nutrient solution and water in the cultivation box 4 will be discharged through the drain.
[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
