Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant seedling technology, specifically a seedling tray for rhizomatous plants. Background Technology

[0002] Rhizomatous plants, as an important plant classification concept, refer to plants that possess rhizomes. Rhizomes are not true roots, but rather modified stems of the plant, usually growing horizontally underground or on the surface, serving the dual functions of nutrient storage and asexual reproduction. Seedling trays are the most widely used method in the process of planting and acclimatizing seedlings. Plug seedling cultivation achieves precision sowing through automated processes such as sowing and covering with soil, shortening the production cycle and significantly improving efficiency compared to traditional seedling cultivation. Seedling efficiency is significantly higher than traditional seedling cultivation, greenhouse utilization is high, and overall costs are reduced.

[0003] Currently, ordinary seedling trays are commonly used in the cultivation of rhizomatous plant seedlings. These trays are generally made of polystyrene with conical openings at the bottom. After the substrate is laid, the seedlings are raised and then directly pulled out and transplanted. However, ordinary seedling trays are not ideal for the cultivation of rhizomatous plants because these trays are relatively thin, while the root systems of rhizomatous plants are well-developed. The roots of some varieties will penetrate through the holes at the bottom and take root in the bottom of the tray, making them difficult to pull out during transplanting and potentially causing root damage, reducing the survival rate, and thus affecting the quality of rhizomatous plant seedlings. To solve the above problems, we propose a seedling tray for rhizomatous plants. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a seedling tray for rhizomatous plants to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a seedling tray for rhizomes, comprising a tray base, an inner tray disposed between the inner walls of the tray base, a fixing structure disposed on the top of the tray base for fixing the inner tray, a first handle fixedly connected to both sides of the inner tray, multiple grooves formed at the bottom of the inner side of the inner tray, drainage holes formed at the bottom of the inner side of the multiple grooves, and the multiple drainage holes communicating with the interior of the tray base, multiple fixing plates fixedly connected between the inner walls of the inner tray, multiple partition grooves formed between the multiple fixing plates, partition plates slidably connected between the inner walls of the multiple partition grooves, and ventilation grooves formed on both sides of the tray base, with two ventilation grooves communicating with the interior of the tray base.

[0006] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the top of the acupuncture plate base has two positioning grooves, and the two first handles respectively contact the inner side of the two positioning grooves.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a second handle is fixedly connected to the top of each of the partition plates.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the fixing structure includes two fixing boxes, both of which are fixedly connected to the top of the acupuncture plate base. Slide plates are slidably connected between the inner walls of the two fixing boxes. A through groove is opened on one side of each of the two fixing boxes. A limiting plate is slidably connected between the inner walls of the two through grooves. The bottom of each limiting plate contacts two first handles, and one side of each limiting plate is fixedly connected to two slide plates.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the top of each of the two fixing boxes is provided with a sliding groove, and a paddle is slidably connected between the inner walls of the two sliding grooves.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a seedling tray for rhizomatous plants includes a tray base 1, an inner tray 4 disposed between the inner walls of the tray base 1, a fixing structure disposed on the top of the tray base 1 for fixing the inner tray 4, a first handle 5 fixedly connected to both sides of the inner tray 4, a plurality of grooves 18 formed on the bottom of the inner side of the inner tray 4, and drainage holes 19 formed on the bottom of the inner side of the plurality of grooves 18, all of which communicate with the interior of the tray base 1. A plurality of fixing... The plate 10 has multiple partition grooves 17 between multiple fixed plates 10. The inner walls of the multiple partition grooves 17 are slidably connected to partition plates 11. Both sides of the burrowing plate base 1 have ventilation grooves 2. Both ventilation grooves 2 are connected to the interior of the burrowing plate base 1. The top of the burrowing plate base 1 has two positioning grooves 14. Two first handles 5 are respectively in contact with the inner side of the two positioning grooves 14. The top of the multiple partition plates 11 is fixedly connected to second handles 12. The inner walls of the two ventilation grooves 2 are provided with partition nets 3.

[0023] When assembling and using seedling trays for rhizomatous plants, firstly, a layer of substrate (specifically a mixture of peat moss, perlite, leaf mold, coconut coir, and vermiculite) is laid inside the tray base 1 (made of stainless steel to ensure the seedling trays' corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and high-temperature resistance) to ensure the growth of the seedling roots. Next, the inner tray 4 (made of stainless steel) is accurately placed inside the tray base 1 by inserting two first handles 5 into the two positioning slots 14. The inner tray 4 is then secured using a fixing structure. Finally, multiple second handles 12 are used to secure the multiple partitions... The plates 11 are inserted into the interior of multiple partition slots 17, thereby separating multiple seedling trays 18 through the cooperation between the multiple partition plates 11 and multiple fixing plates 10. At the same time, the interior of multiple seedling trays 18 is filled with substrate, and seedlings are planted and then watered. Excess water can flow into the interior of the seedling tray base 1 through multiple drainage holes 19 and then be discharged through two ventilation slots 2. The two partition nets 3 (specifically made of high-density polyethylene material to ensure the ventilation and drainage performance of the partition nets 3) not only restrict the growth range of the seedling roots, but also, together with the two ventilation slots 2, ensure that the seedlings have sufficient oxygen.

[0024] Once the seedlings have matured, multiple partition boards 11 are removed from the partition groove 17 using multiple second handles 12. Then, the inner plate 4 is released from its fixation using a fixing structure, and the inner plate 4 is lifted out of the seedling base 1 using two first handles 5. Next, the excessively long roots of the mature seedlings are uniformly pruned. Finally, the mature seedlings are removed from the inner plate 4 and transplanted, thereby improving the effectiveness of the seedling trays for root and stem plants.

[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the fixing structure includes two fixing boxes 6, both of which are fixedly connected to the top of the acupuncture plate base 1. Slide plates 15 are slidably connected between the inner walls of the two fixing boxes 6. A through groove 13 is opened on one side of each of the two fixing boxes 6. A limiting plate 9 is slidably connected between the inner walls of the two through grooves 13. The bottom of the two limiting plates 9 contacts the two first handles 5 respectively. One side of the two limiting plates 9 is fixedly connected to the two slide plates 15 respectively. A sliding groove 7 is opened on the top of each of the two fixing boxes 6. A paddle 8 is slidably connected between the inner walls of the two sliding grooves 7. The bottom of the two paddles 8 is fixedly connected to the two slide plates 15 respectively. A return spring 16 is provided between the two slide plates 15 and the inner side of each of the two fixing boxes 6.

[0026] By pushing the two paddles 8 to move between the inner walls of the two slides 7, and driving the two slide plates 15 to move between the inner walls of the two fixed boxes 6, and pressing the two return springs 16 (specifically made of high carbon steel), the two limit plates 9 are driven to move between the inner walls of the two through slots 13 and away from the two first handles 5, thereby releasing the fixation of the two first handles 5.

[0027] The two return springs 16 push the two slide plates 15 to move between the inner walls of the two fixed boxes 6, and at the same time drive the two limit plates 9 to move between the inner walls of the two through slots 13, and contact the two first handles 5 respectively, thereby completing the fixation of the two first handles 5, thus improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the root and stem plant seedling tray.

[0028] This utility model provides a seedling tray for rhizomes, and its working principle is as follows: When assembling and using the seedling tray, firstly, a layer of substrate is laid inside the tray base 1 to ensure the growth of the seedling roots. Then, by placing the two first handles 5 into the two positioning slots 14 respectively, the inner tray 4 is accurately placed into the tray base 1. Subsequently, the elastic force of the two return springs 16 pushes the two sliding plates 15 to move between the inner walls of the two fixing boxes 6, and at the same time drives the two limiting plates 9 to move between the inner walls of the two through slots 13, and they contact the two first handles 5 respectively, thereby positioning the inner tray. 4. After fixing, multiple partition plates 11 are inserted into multiple partition slots 17 through multiple second handles 12. The multiple partition plates 11 and multiple fixing plates 10 are used to separate multiple seedlings 18. At the same time, the seedlings 18 are filled with substrate and planted. Then, they are watered. Excess water can flow into the seedling tray base 1 through multiple drainage holes 19 and then be discharged through two ventilation slots 2. The two mesh screens 3 not only limit the growth range of the seedling roots, but also ensure that the seedlings have enough oxygen in conjunction with the two ventilation slots 2.

[0029] Once the seedlings have matured, multiple partition plates 11 are moved out of the partition grooves 17 using multiple second handles 12. Then, by pushing two paddles 8, the seedlings move between the inner walls of the two sliding grooves 7, causing two sliding plates 15 to move between the inner walls of the two fixed boxes 6. This compresses two return springs 16, causing two limiting plates 9 to move between the inner walls of the two through grooves 13 and away from the two first handles 5. This releases the inner plate 4 from its fixation. The inner plate 4 is then lifted out of the seedling tray base 1 using the two first handles 5. Next, the excessively long roots of the mature seedlings are uniformly pruned. Finally, the mature seedlings are removed from the inner plate 4 and transplanted, thus completing the use of the seedling tray for root and stem plants.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
