Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedling tray technology, and in particular to a seedling tray for agricultural planting. Background Technology
[0002] Seedling cultivation means nurturing seedlings. Originally, it referred to cultivating seedlings in nurseries, hotbeds, or greenhouses in preparation for transplanting them into the ground.
[0003] Some seedlings (such as watermelons and cotton) require cultivation in plastic bags to facilitate subsequent transplanting. However, most of the plastic bags in the current technology are made of plastic bags. After transplanting, the plastic bags are not only difficult to decompose in nature, causing environmental pollution, but they also cannot be reused, increasing the cost of seedling cultivation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies that use film bags for seedling cultivation, such as environmental pollution and non-reusability, by proposing a seedling tray for agricultural planting.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An agricultural seedling tray includes a seedling box, a tray set inside the seedling box, and a spraying mechanism. The seedling box includes an alloy frame, a transparent door is hinged to the front inner wall of the alloy frame, and transparent panels are fixed to the other five inner walls of the alloy frame.
[0007] The seedling box has mounting frames attached to the inner walls on both sides, and stainless steel partitions are fixed at equal intervals along the horizontal direction on the mounting frames. The tray is placed on the stainless steel partitions, and seedling troughs are placed in the tray at equal intervals. The seedling troughs are composed of left and right troughs that are interlocked with each other.
[0008] The left groove is composed of several first semi-cylinders and first connecting pieces connected end to end in sequence, and a flexible locking block is fixed on the outer wall of the first connecting piece near the right groove. The right groove is composed of several second semi-cylinders and second connecting pieces connected end to end in sequence, and a locking groove is fixed on the outer wall of the second connecting piece near the left groove. The flexible locking block and the locking groove form an interference fit.
[0009] In the above solution, by interlocking the left and right troughs, multiple cylindrical planting troughs can be assembled. Soil or cultivation substrate is placed inside the planting troughs to cultivate seedlings. After the seedlings have been cultivated, the left and right troughs can be disassembled to remove the soil or cultivation substrate and the seedlings from the planting troughs. The planting troughs can be reused after cleaning, saving costs and reducing environmental pollution.
[0010] Both the first and second semi-cylinders have equally spaced filter holes at their bottoms.
[0011] Preferably, each of the four corners of the bottom of the seedling box is fixed with an adjustable support column by screws. The adjustable support column includes an installation sleeve and a support rod that is slidably installed in the adjustable support column. A fastening knob is screwed onto the outer wall of the installation sleeve. The fastening knob and the support rod form a fastening fit. A rubber pad is fixed at the bottom of the adjustable support column.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of both the stainless steel partition and the tray is provided with equally spaced drainage holes.
[0013] Preferably, the spraying mechanism includes a water tank, a water pump installed in the water tank, a delivery pipe connected to the outlet of the water pump, and multiple spray pipes fixed to the mounting frame by clamps. The bottom of the spray pipes is screwed with atomizing nozzles that are evenly distributed. The water pump is connected to a switch and a power cord.
[0014] Preferably, the multiple spray pipes are sequentially connected to the conveying pipe, and the multiple spray pipes are sequentially installed above the tray.
[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the seedling box has a water outlet, and the inner wall of the water outlet is connected to a drain pipe, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe.
[0016] In the above scheme, the spray pipes and atomizing nozzles of the spraying mechanism are set according to the position of the trays to ensure that each seedling trough can be adequately irrigated, and excess water in the upper tray can seep into the lower tray and drip onto the bottom inner wall of the seedling box and be discharged through the drain pipe, thereby preventing the seedlings from being "drowned".
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] 1. By interlocking the left and right troughs, multiple cylindrical planting troughs can be assembled. Soil or cultivation substrate is placed in the planting trough to cultivate seedlings. After the seedlings have been cultivated, the left and right troughs can be disassembled to remove the soil or cultivation substrate and seedlings from the planting trough. The planting trough can be reused after cleaning, saving costs and reducing environmental pollution.
[0019] 2. The spray pipes and atomizing nozzles of the spraying mechanism are set according to the position of the tray to ensure that each seedling trough can be adequately irrigated, and that excess water in the upper tray can seep to the lower tray to avoid excessive water accumulation.
