Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lotus seedling cultivation technology, and in particular to a lotus seedling cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] Lotus root is popular for its rich nutritional value and unique flavor. Lotus root cultivation, as an agricultural production method, can generate economic benefits. Therefore, optimizing scientific seedling cultivation techniques provides theoretical support for innovation in cultivation. During the growth process of lotus root, lotus seeds are soaked to germinate and develop roots before being transplanted into ceramic or plastic pots for cultivation. After a period of cultivation, the seeds are removed, and the soil is replaced for replanting. Lotus root seedling cultivation requires the use of cultivation devices, but existing devices are mostly fixed structures such as cultivation pots. Each pot requires independent management, consuming a lot of manpower. Adjusting the planting density is difficult, and the adjustment, transportation, and re-soiling are time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low operational efficiency and inconvenience. Therefore, we propose a lotus root seedling cultivation device that achieves unified management, controls variables during seedling cultivation, stabilizes the cultivation substrate, and does not affect seedling growth.

With the help of the transmission belt, this drives the connecting shaft. The first, second, and third connecting rods work together to move the second and third cultivation boxes directly above the first cultivation box, thus reducing the area required for cultivation. The planting density can be adjusted among the three cultivation boxes to ensure uniform seedling density, precisely control seedling growth, and facilitate unified experimental management. The rotation of the third gear drives the stirring shaft, which in turn stirs the water or nutrient solution in the storage tank. Turning on the pump allows the water in the storage tank to be transported through pipes to the spray nozzles, facilitating the application of pesticides and water to the cultivation boxes. The operation is simple. Attached Figure Description

The inner surface of the nozzle 15 has a water outlet hole 151. The battery provides power to the pump 14, and when the pump 14 is working, water is discharged from the nozzle 15 to irrigate the lotus seedlings.

[0027] Specifically, the top of the water storage tank 2 is provided with a water inlet 16, and the bottom of the front side of the water storage tank 2 is provided with a water outlet 17. Both the water inlet 16 and the water outlet 17 are threadedly connected with sealing caps 18. This facilitates the inlet and outlet of water in the water storage tank 2.

[0028] Specifically, an observation window 19 is provided on the back of the water storage tank 2 for observing the volume of water inside the water storage tank 2.

[0029] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: The motor 22 works, driving the first gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 10 and the third gear 11 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions, driving the transmission belt 12 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting shaft 31 to rotate.
