Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of chili seedling technology, and in particular to a chili planting and seedling raising device. Background Technology

[0002] Chili peppers are annual or short-lived perennial plants belonging to the genus Capsicum in the Solanaceae family. The fruit of chili peppers has the effects of warming the middle and dispelling cold, and promoting digestion. In the process of chili pepper cultivation, seedling raising devices are needed to cultivate chili pepper seedlings for transplanting.

[0003] A search revealed a chili seedling cultivation device (publication number CN222128827U). Cultivators can adjust the number of partitions and the internal space of the container to accommodate chili seedlings of different sizes. After the seedlings are planted inside the container, a water pump and its lower extension pipe sequentially transfer water and fertilizer from the water supply tank to a flexible folding pipe, a connecting pipe, and a manifold. The manifold then distributes the water and fertilizer to a distribution pipe, which finally sprays the water through a nozzle at the lower end of the distribution pipe, irrigating the chili seedlings. A high-density filter removes excess water from the soil, reducing root rot. The filtered water flows into a collection box, which can be removed for cleaning. A hydraulic cylinder moves a limiting frame upwards, adjusting the height of the limiting frame and its inner nozzles.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following technical defects exist and need to be improved: Although the above-mentioned device avoids directly scouring the root system and reduces the risk of soil compaction by spraying water from above, the insecticidal spraying cannot be separated from the irrigation system. Pests often lurk on the back of the leaves, and the method of spraying insecticide from above will reduce the removal of pests located on the back of the leaves, thus failing to fully block the spread of viruses by pests. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a chili pepper planting and seedling raising device to improve the following technical problems: Although the above device avoids direct erosion of the root system and reduces the risk of soil compaction by irrigating from above, the insecticidal spray cannot be separated from the irrigation system. Pests often lurk on the back of the leaves, and the method of spraying insecticide from above will reduce the removal of pests located on the back of the leaves, thus failing to fully block the spread of viruses by pests.

[0006] This application provides a chili pepper planting and seedling raising device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A chili pepper planting and seedling raising device includes a placement rack, a water storage tank, a movable frame, a water pipe rack with sprinklers, a seedling box, a flexible sprinkler assembly, and a side spray assembly. The water storage tank is installed on the top side of the placement rack. The movable frame is slidably inserted into the inner side of the placement rack. The water pipe rack with sprinklers is fixedly connected to the inner side of the movable frame. The seedling box is located below the water pipe rack with sprinklers and is fixedly connected to the surface of the placement rack. The flexible sprinkler assembly is installed on the outer side of the output end of the water storage tank, and the side spray assembly is installed on the inner side of the seedling box.

[0008] The placement frame is used to support the water storage tank and the seedling box. The water storage tank, together with the flexible sprinkler assembly, is used to control the position of the movable frame and the water pipe rack with nozzles above the seedling box and to irrigate the upper surface of the pepper seedlings at different heights. The seedling box is used to place the pepper seedlings. The side spray assembly is used to spray insecticide and nutrient solution on both sides of the pepper seedlings located inside the seedling box.

[0009] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the side spray assembly includes a connecting straight pipe, a side spray conduit, a filter plate, a hollow seedling box, and a one-way valve. The connecting straight pipe is fixedly connected to the outside of the seedling box and is used to connect to the material pipeline. The side spray conduit is installed on the outside of the connecting straight pipe. The filter plate is fixedly connected to the inside of the seedling box. The hollow seedling box is fixedly connected to the top of the filter plate and is in close contact with the water outlet surface of the side spray conduit. The one-way valve is installed on the outside of the side spray conduit and is used for one-way drainage.

[0010] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the flexible sprinkler assembly includes a metering pump, a water delivery pipe, a folding pipe, a push cylinder, and a push rod. The water delivery pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom outside of the water storage tank. The folding pipe is fixedly connected below the output end of the water delivery pipe, and the bottom of the folding pipe penetrates the top inside of the movable frame and is fixedly connected to the water inlet end of the sprinkler head drain pipe bracket. The push cylinder is installed on the top of the placement frame, and the push rod is fixedly connected below the output end of the push cylinder and is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable frame.

[0011] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the connection between the movable frame and the placement rack is further provided with a slider and a limiting groove that are adapted to each other in size.

[0012] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the hollow seedling box is provided with several sets of liquid permeable holes on both sides for drainage.

[0013] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the placement rack is located on the lower outer side of the seedling box and is also provided with a liquid guide tube.

[0014] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] This device features a side-spray assembly that connects to a hollow seedling box via a side-spray conduit, allowing direct application of insecticide to the sides and undersides of the chili seedlings and leaves. This overcomes the shortcomings of traditional top-spray irrigation systems where pesticides are easily blocked by leaves and have difficulty penetrating the undersides of leaves. The flexible sprinkler assembly allows for adjustment of the height of the water pipe rack with nozzles, adapting to chili seedlings at different growth stages and preventing damage to tender leaves from excessive water pressure during the seedling stage. The filter plate prevents substrate impurities from entering the side-spray system and prevents root rot in chili seedlings. The hollow seedling box ensures that the pesticide solution is evenly distributed to the base of the plant. The top irrigation system operates independently, providing only water and preventing insecticides or nutrient solutions from seeping into the soil and affecting the microbial balance. The side-spray system is dedicated to spraying insecticides and nutrient solutions, and a one-way valve prevents pesticide backflow and water source contamination. Attached Figure Description

The flexible irrigation assembly 6 is installed on the outer side of the output end of the water storage tank 2, and the side spray assembly 7 is installed on the inner side of the seedling box 5.

[0033] The placement rack 1 is used to support the water storage tank 2 and the seedling box 5. The water storage tank 2, together with the flexible sprinkler assembly 6, is used to control the movable frame 3 and the water pipe rack 4 with nozzles located above the seedling box 5 and to irrigate the upper surface of the chili seedlings at different heights. The seedling box 5 is used to place the chili seedlings. The side spray assembly 7 is used to spray insecticide and nutrient solution on both sides of the chili seedlings located inside the seedling box 5.

[0034] The sprinkler head drain pipe rack 4 is used for overhead misting irrigation, preventing soil compaction and providing precise water supply.

[0035] The side spray assembly 7 includes a connecting straight pipe 71, a side spray conduit 72, a filter plate 73, a hollow seedling box 74, and a one-way valve 75. The connecting straight pipe 71 is fixedly connected to the outside of the seedling box 5 and is used to connect to the material pipeline. The side spray conduit 72 is installed on the outside of the connecting straight pipe 71. The filter plate 73 is fixedly connected to the inside of the seedling box 5. The hollow seedling box 74 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter plate 73 and is in close contact with the water outlet surface of the side spray conduit 72. The one-way valve 75 is installed on the outside of the side spray conduit 72 and is used for one-way drainage.

[0036] The side spray tube 72, combined with the liquid permeation hole 10, allows for targeted application of pesticides on the underside of leaves, effectively killing insects and blocking virus transmission.

[0037] The flexible sprinkler assembly 6 includes a metering pump 61, a water supply pipe 62, a folding pipe 63, a push cylinder 64, and a push rod 65. The water supply pipe 62 is fixedly connected to the bottom outside of the water storage tank 2. The folding pipe 63 is fixedly connected below the output end of the water supply pipe 62, and the bottom of the folding pipe 63 penetrates the top inside of the movable frame 3 and is fixedly connected to the water inlet end of the sprinkler head drain pipe bracket 4. The push cylinder 64 is installed on the top of the placement frame 1, and the push rod 65 is fixedly connected below the output end of the push cylinder 64 and is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable frame 3.

[0038] The cylinder 64, in conjunction with the slider 8, adjusts the nozzle height to suit different growth stages.

[0039] The connection between the movable frame 3 and the placement rack 1 is also equipped with sliders 8 and limiting grooves 9 that are adapted to each other in size.

[0040] The hollow seedling box 74 also has several sets of drainage holes 10 on both sides for draining liquid.

[0041] The placement rack 1 is located on the outer side below the seedling box 5 and is also equipped with a liquid guide pipe 11.

[0042] The usage process of the chili pepper planting and seedling raising device in this embodiment is roughly as follows:

[0043] Connect the straight pipe 71 to the external pesticide or nutrient solution delivery pipeline, ensuring the one-way valve 75 is installed correctly to prevent liquid backflow. Activate the flexible sprinkler assembly 6; the metering pump 61 draws water from the storage tank 2, delivering it through the water pipe 62 and folded pipe 63 to the sprinkler head drain pipe frame 4. Push the cylinder 64 to adjust the height slider 8 of the movable frame 3 via the push rod 65, allowing the sprinkler head to adapt to the chili seedling growth stage. Water is atomized through the sprinkler head drain pipe frame 4, evenly spraying it from top to bottom onto the chili seedlings in the seedling box 5, avoiding washing away the substrate. Excess water is filtered by the filter plate 73 and discharged through the liquid guide pipe 11 to prevent waterlogging and root rot. During the side spraying process, the insecticide or foliar nutrient solution is diluted according to the ratio and connected to the connecting straight pipe 71. The liquid is sprayed horizontally from both sides through the side spraying conduit 72 and evenly covers the back of the leaves and the base of the stem of the pepper seedling through the liquid permeation hole 10. The unabsorbed liquid flows into the filter plate 73 through the liquid permeation hole 10 and is collected and treated by the liquid guide pipe 11 after filtration, reducing environmental pollution. As the pepper seedling grows, the cylinder 64 is activated periodically to adjust the height of the nozzle and maintain the optimal irrigation angle.

[0044] The beneficial technical effects of the chili pepper planting and seedling raising device in this application embodiment are roughly as follows:

[0045] This device is equipped with a side-spray assembly 7, which connects to the hollow seedling box 74 via a side-spray conduit 72 and directly sprays insecticide onto the sides and backs of the chili seedlings, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional top-spray irrigation where the pesticide is easily blocked by leaves and has difficulty penetrating the backs of leaves. The flexible sprinkler assembly 6 can adjust the height of the water pipe frame 4 with nozzles to adapt to chili seedlings at different growth stages, avoiding damage to tender leaves due to excessive water pressure during the seedling stage. The filter plate 73 blocks substrate impurities from entering the side-spray system and prevents root rot in chili seedlings. The hollow seedling box 74 ensures that the pesticide solution is evenly diffused to the base of the plant. The top irrigation system operates independently, providing only water, preventing insecticide or nutrient solution from seeping into the soil and affecting the microbial balance. The side-spray system is dedicated to spraying insecticide and nutrient solution, and a one-way valve 75 prevents pesticide backflow and water source contamination.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
