Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedling raising device technology, and in particular to a combined agricultural planting seedling tray. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern agriculture, seedling cultivation is gradually moving towards standardization, modularization, and environmental protection. Traditional seedling trays are mostly one-piece structures, making it difficult to adapt to changes in planting space and seedling scale. They also have significant shortcomings in water management, seedling cup replacement, and ventilation and drainage. Some seedling containers are prone to soil erosion during use, which is detrimental to root protection; furthermore, the lack of effective drainage and infiltration mechanisms often leads to waterlogging and root rot. In addition, the structural design of existing seedling trays for storage, transportation, and reuse is relatively simple, failing to meet the demands of modern facility agriculture for efficient, environmentally friendly, and flexible planting methods.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a modular seedling tray for agricultural planting to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a combined seedling tray for agricultural planting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a combined agricultural seedling tray, comprising an outer chamber, a seedling cup, and a conical hopper, wherein the seedling cup is inserted into the outer chamber, the bottom of the seedling cup is covered with a mesh, the conical hopper is located at the center of the bottom of the inner wall of the outer chamber, the highest point of the conical hopper is higher than the bottom of the inner wall of the outer chamber, and a central opening is provided at the middle of the conical hopper;

[0006] The four adjacent outer chambers are joined together using splicing components.

[0007] Preferably, the splicing component includes a cross plate and pin blocks, with four pin blocks respectively disposed on the four arms of the cross plate.

[0008] Preferably, the outer chamber has pin grooves on all four sides, and the pin block is slidably wedge-connected with the pin groove.

[0009] Preferably, cotton strips are integrated into the yarn mesh, with the bottom end of the cotton strips located at the corner of the interior of the outer room.

[0010] Preferably, a baffle is provided at the bottom opening of the seedling cup, and the baffle is located on the lower surface of the mesh.

[0011] Preferably, the baffle has a perforation at its center, through which the cotton strip extends into the outer chamber.

[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the seedling cup is provided with a skirt, which provides a seal for the connection between the outer chamber and the seedling cup.

[0013] Preferably, the lower surface of the outer chamber is provided with four pads, which are arranged in a rectangular array on the lower surface of the outer chamber.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] In use, the combined agricultural seedling tray of this utility model consists of an outer chamber and seedling cups forming a seedling unit. Each seedling unit is an independent module, and the seedling units can be assembled into a seedling tray of any size through splicing parts to adapt to the needs of different greenhouses or seedling spaces.

[0016] During the assembly process, the four pins of the cross plate are interlocked with the pin slots of each of the four adjacent outer chambers, and the assembly action between the outer chambers is repeated in this way.

[0017] Personnel plant agricultural seedlings in seedling cups. The mesh design effectively reduces soil erosion in the seedling cups. The seedling cups are then placed on the outer chamber. The biodegradable or recyclable seedling cups are easy to remove as a whole during transplanting, preventing root damage and improving turnover efficiency. They also facilitate the rapid replacement of different seedling media, increasing planting flexibility. The skirt design ensures stability and airtightness at the connection points.

[0018] Furthermore, through the design of the conical hopper, when people water the seedlings, the water flows through the mesh and falls into the outer chamber. The interior of the outer chamber can serve as a water storage and diversion layer. When the water level in the outer chamber is higher than the top of the conical hopper, the conical hopper guides the excess water out of the outer chamber through the central opening, avoiding water accumulation and root rot caused by excessive water level. At the same time, this layer can also temporarily store water and use the capillary action of the cotton strips to seep back and replenish water, forming a passive water cycle.

[0019] Meanwhile, the seedling unit is elevated by the design of the pad. In the elevated state, the discharged wastewater can be promptly moved away from the seedling unit. At the same time, outside air can enter the outer room through the central opening to maintain the ventilation level during the seedling process.

[0020] In this invention, each seedling unit is an independent module, and multiple outer chambers can be stably connected through splicing parts. Users can flexibly assemble them into seedling trays of different sizes according to their needs, adapting to various seedling spaces.

[0021] The outer chamber is designed with a conical hopper and a central opening to control the water storage height. When the water level is too high, it will be automatically discharged. The outer chamber has a central opening and a raised structure with a pad to ensure that air can circulate into the bottom of the outer chamber, enhance root oxygen supply, promote root growth, and at the same time, the discharged wastewater can be quickly moved away from the seedling area to keep the seedling environment dry.

[0022] The structure is easy to assemble and disassemble, and the seedling cups and outer chamber are designed independently, which makes them easy to clean, replace and reuse for a long time, helping to save resources and reduce operating costs. Attached Figure Description
