Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed and seedling equipment technology, and in particular to an agricultural seed and seedling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Agricultural seed and seedling raising equipment is a specialized device used to promote seed germination and seedling growth. It improves seed germination rate and seedling survival rate by optimizing environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and light, and is especially suitable for scenarios with unsuitable climate or limited space.

[0003] The seedling tray in the seedling equipment is an automated seedling raising device that integrates a tray, drip irrigation pipe and seedling lamp. It significantly improves seedling efficiency by precisely controlling water, light and microenvironment. When using it, place the vegetable or fruit seed tray on the tray. After the drip irrigation pipe is connected to the water tank, it can be set to automatically irrigate 1-2 times a day to ensure that the substrate is evenly moist. The seedling lamp provides 12-16 hours of full-spectrum light every day. After the seeds germinate, they need to be ventilated every day to prevent mold. After the seedlings have grown for 3-4 weeks, harden them off by gradually opening the lid, reducing the frequency of drip irrigation and lowering the lamp height to enhance their resistance. Once the roots have formed a clump, they can be transplanted.

[0004] During the use of existing seedling trays, excess nutrient solution generated by the drip irrigation system during prolonged operation is discharged through the holes at the bottom of the seedling trays. Since the tray support is usually installed horizontally, the discharged liquid cannot be effectively guided away, easily forming liquid accumulation at the bottom of the trays. This stagnant water is difficult to remove quickly, resulting in high humidity and temperature inside the seedling tray. This creates favorable conditions for the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, especially mold. The spread of mold at the bottom of the trays not only directly interferes with the healthy growth of crops but may also compete with crops for key nutrients, ultimately causing significant adverse effects on seedling quality and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the prior art that the nutrient solution on the tray is difficult to remove in time, which leads to mold growth at the bottom of the seed tray and interferes with crop growth. Therefore, this invention proposes an agricultural seed and seedling raising device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An agricultural seed and seedling raising device includes a seedling box and a seedling lamp and drip irrigation pipe fixedly installed inside the seedling box. It also includes: trays equidistantly installed inside the seedling box, forming a seedling area between adjacent trays; each tray has a "V"-shaped guide groove with a preset inclination angle; a collection pipe is fixedly installed inside the seedling box, and the guide groove is connected to the collection pipe; a collection box is fixedly installed inside the seedling box, and when the drip irrigation pipe drips liquid, excess liquid is guided by the guide groove to the collection pipe and collected by the collection box; and a diverter fixedly installed in the seedling area, connected to the drip irrigation pipe, so that when water is injected into the diverter, liquid drips out from the drip irrigation pipe.

[0008] To ensure that the liquid pressure in each drip irrigation tube is the same, preferably, the diversion component includes a water distribution box fixedly installed in the seedling area, and a connecting pipe is fixedly installed between adjacent water distribution boxes. An air inlet is opened at the top of the water distribution box. When the liquid in the bottom water distribution box flows into the drip irrigation tube, the liquid in the upper water distribution box flows into the bottom water distribution box to replenish the liquid due to the gravity of the liquid itself and atmospheric pressure.

[0009] To facilitate the flow of nutrient solution between the water distribution boxes, the tray is further provided with a matching through hole for the connecting pipe, and the connecting pipe passes through the through hole to connect with the adjacent water distribution box.

[0010] To facilitate the unified discharge or collection of nutrient solution, preferably, an inclined guide block is fixedly installed inside the collection box, and the lowest area of ​​the guide block forms a drainage zone. A drain pipe is installed on the seedling box corresponding to the drainage zone to discharge excess liquid in the collection box.

[0011] To facilitate the outflow of excess liquid from the bottom of the drainage tray, preferably, the pre-set angle range of the guide channel is 3-10 degrees, so that excess liquid can flow into the collection pipe by its own gravity in conjunction with the guide channel.

[0012] To prevent dead zones in the flow, preferably, the connection between the collection pipe and the guide channel is provided with an inclined surface, the inclination angle of which is in the range of 45-60 degrees.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an agricultural seed and seedling raising device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This agricultural seed and seedling raising equipment uses a guide channel above the tray. On the one hand, excess nutrient solution flowing out of the seedling tray is directed into the guide channel and then guided out, preventing liquid accumulation at the bottom of the seedling tray and thus avoiding mold growth. This effectively protects the crop's growth environment. On the other hand, the guide channel above the tray improves airflow at the bottom of the seedling tray, preventing heat accumulation and avoiding overheating that could affect the root growth of the crop.

[0015] 2. This agricultural seed and seedling raising equipment, through the combination of a water distribution box and an air inlet, allows the liquid in the upper water distribution box to flow to the lower water distribution box when the liquid level in the lower water distribution box drops, thanks to atmospheric pressure and the liquid's own gravity, thus achieving an automatic liquid replenishment effect and reducing the equipment's operating costs.

[0016] The parts of this device not described herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model utilizes a guide channel in conjunction with a collection pipe and a collection box to effectively drain excess liquid from under the seedling tray, preventing the liquid from remaining under the seedling tray for a long time and being heated, which could lead to mold growth and competition with crops for key nutrients, thus affecting crop growth.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Example

[0026] Reference Figures 1-6 An agricultural seed and seedling raising device includes a seedling box 1 and a seedling lamp 8 and a drip irrigation pipe 7 fixedly installed inside the seedling box 1. It also includes: trays 2 equidistantly fixedly installed inside the seedling box 1, forming a seedling area between adjacent trays 2. Seedling trays are placed in the seedling area for subsequent seedling raising. The trays 2 have V-shaped drainage channels 3, which prevent substrate accumulation and blockage of the drainage channels 3 when the nutrient solution flows. The drainage channels 3 have a preset inclination angle. A collection pipe 4 is fixedly installed inside the seedling box 1, and the drainage channels 3 are aligned with the collection pipe 4. Pipe 4 is connected, and a collection box 5 is fixedly installed inside the seedling box 1. When the drip irrigation pipe 7 drips liquid, the excess liquid is guided by the guide groove 3 to the collection pipe 4 and collected by the collection box 5. This facilitates the drainage of the liquid accumulated at the bottom of the seedling tray, effectively preventing the nutrient solution from accumulating at the bottom of the seedling tray for a long time, which can lead to the growth of mold and competition with the crop, thus reducing the quality and efficiency of seedling cultivation. A diversion component is fixedly installed in the seedling area. The diversion component is connected to the drip irrigation pipe 7. When water is injected into the diversion component, the liquid drips out from the drip irrigation pipe 7, which facilitates the drip irrigation pipe 7 to drip irrigate the seedling tray. This effectively prevents the seeds from being difficult to germinate due to insufficient humidity during the seedling cultivation process.

[0027] Specifically, the guide channel 3 set above the tray 2 allows excess nutrient solution flowing out of the seedling tray to flow into the guide channel 3 and then be guided out through the guide channel 3, thus preventing liquid accumulation at the bottom of the seedling tray and the occurrence of mold problems, effectively protecting the crop's growth environment. On the other hand, the guide channel 3 set above the tray 2 can improve the airflow effect at the bottom of the seedling tray, preventing heat sources from accumulating at the bottom of the seedling tray, thus avoiding the problem of overheating affecting the root growth of the crop in the seedling tray.

[0028] The diversion component includes a water distribution box 6 fixedly installed in the seedling area. A connecting pipe 9 is fixedly installed between adjacent water distribution boxes 6. The support plate 2 has a corresponding through hole for the connecting pipe 9. The connecting pipe 9 passes through the through hole and connects to the adjacent water distribution box 6. An air inlet 10 is opened at the top of the water distribution box 6. When the liquid in the bottom water distribution box 6 flows into the drip irrigation pipe 7, the liquid in the upper water distribution box 6 flows into the bottom water distribution box 6 to replenish the liquid due to the liquid's own gravity and atmospheric pressure. This avoids the problem of continuous operation of the external water supply equipment, which would increase the equipment's operating cost.

[0029] Specifically, by using the water distribution box 6 in conjunction with the air inlet 10, when the liquid level in the lower water distribution box 6 decreases, atmospheric pressure and the liquid's own gravity cause the liquid in the upper water distribution box 6 to flow to the lower water distribution box 6, thus achieving the effect of automatic liquid replenishment and reducing the operating cost of the equipment.

[0030] An inclined guide block 51 is fixedly installed inside the collection box 5, and the lowest area of ​​the guide block 51 forms a drainage area. A drain pipe is installed on the seedling box 1 corresponding to the drainage area to discharge excess liquid in the collection box 5. The collected liquid is uniformly gathered into the drainage area by the inclined guide block 51, so that users can choose to collect or discharge it uniformly according to their needs. This is convenient to operate and avoids excessive moisture in the seedling box 1, which would increase the humidity in the seedling box 1 and affect the seedling effect.

[0031] The preset angle range of the guide channel 3 is 3-10 degrees. The preset angle of the guide channel 3 in this application is 5 degrees. With the 5-degree inclined guide channel 3, the water discharged from the seedling tray can be effectively guided into the collection pipe 4, avoiding the problem of liquid accumulation at the bottom of the seedling tray due to the horizontal installation of the tray 2, which would lead to the growth of mold. This effectively avoids the problem of mold competing with crops and affecting crop seedling cultivation and growth.

[0032] An inclined surface is provided at the connection between the collection pipe 4 and the guide channel 3. The inclination angle of the inclined surface is in the range of 45-60 degrees. In this application, the inclination angle at the connection between the collection pipe 4 and the guide channel 3 is 50 degrees. By using the 50-degree inclination angle, the liquid can be quickly guided into the collection pipe 4, thereby avoiding the problem of dead flow corners caused by right angles, which would lead to the accumulation of some nutrient solution in the dead flow corners and the growth of mold. This effectively prevents mold from competing with crops, thereby affecting crop seedling and growth.

[0033] In this invention, the seedling trays after sowing are first placed on top of the tray 2. Then, the seedling light 8 is turned on, and nutrient solution is injected into the water distribution boxes 6 via external equipment. Subsequently, due to the weight of the nutrient solution itself and atmospheric pressure, the solution flows to the lower water distribution box 6, bringing the pressure between the water distribution boxes 6 closer together. Then, the nutrient solution drips into the seedling trays through the drip irrigation pipe 7, allowing the seeds in the seedling trays to fully absorb nutrients. Excess nutrient solution flows out through the holes at the bottom of the seedling trays and flows to the top of the tray. The excess liquid is guided by the guide groove 3 set on the top of the tray. The liquid flows into the collection pipe 4 and is then guided to the collection box 5. Users can choose to release excess liquid through the drain pipe on the back of the seedling box 1, thus avoiding excessive moisture remaining in the seedling box 1, which could lead to high humidity and affect seed germination. At the same time, the guide channel 3 can drain excess nutrient solution, preventing liquid accumulation at the bottom of the seedling trays, which could lead to mold growth and competition with the crops for nutrients, thus avoiding a decrease in seed germination efficiency.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
