Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medicinal herb cultivation technology, and in particular to a seedling breeding box for a traditional Chinese medicinal herb. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of Chinese medicinal herb cultivation, seedling cultivation is a crucial initial step in the entire cultivation process, and its quality directly affects the subsequent yield, quality, and medicinal value of the Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0003] Currently, most existing Chinese herbal medicine seedling trays still rely on manual addition or spraying of nutrient solution. Operators need to periodically open the trays and spray the nutrient solution into each seedling area. This process is not only tedious and complex, consuming a lot of manpower and time, but also makes it difficult to precisely control the frequency and amount of nutrient solution added manually, easily resulting in too much or too little nutrient solution, which affects the normal growth of the seedlings.

[0004] From the perspective of nutrient solution spraying uniformity, manually adding nutrient solution often makes it difficult to ensure that each seedling area receives a uniform distribution of nutrient solution. Due to the limitations of manual operation, the amount of nutrient solution received by seedlings in different locations varies, which leads to inconsistent seedling growth rates. Some seedlings may grow slowly and weakly due to excessive nutrition, while others may grow slowly due to insufficient nutrition, thus affecting the quality and yield of the entire seedling batch.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a seedling breeding box for Chinese medicinal herbs is now being designed. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a seedling breeding box for Chinese medicinal materials to solve the problem that in the existing Chinese medicinal material seedling boxes in the related technology, most seedling boxes still rely on manual spraying of nutrient solution, which is cumbersome and uneven.

[0007] Firstly, a seedling breeding box for traditional Chinese medicinal materials is provided, including:

[0008] The box has a seedling room inside, and multiple placement boxes are arranged from top to bottom inside the seedling room. Each placement box has a liquid storage chamber inside, and a seedling box is inserted into the placement box. A filter plate is installed inside the seedling box.

[0009] The supply mechanism includes a spray unit arranged above the seedling box, a supply tank disposed on the box body, the supply tank being used to supply liquid to the spray unit, and a stirrer being disposed inside the supply tank;

[0010] The seedling room is equipped with multiple supplemental lights arranged from top to bottom, with each supplemental light positioned above a corresponding seedling box.

[0011] In some embodiments, the placement box is a rectangular box, the liquid storage cavity is located above the rectangular box, and the liquid storage cavity is open.

[0012] In some embodiments, the seedling box includes a fixed frame and a seedling platform connected to each other, the filter plate is embedded in the seedling platform, the seedling platform is provided with a surrounding plate, and the fixed frame is inserted into the liquid storage cavity;

[0013] A water-absorbing cotton rope is inserted into the filter plate, and the bottom end of the water-absorbing cotton rope extends into the liquid storage chamber.

[0014] In some embodiments, the spray section includes a plurality of circular tubes arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside. The circular tubes are rectangular and are connected to each other through a plurality of adapter tubes. A plurality of nozzles are provided at the bottom of the circular tubes.

[0015] An infusion tube is provided on the outermost surrounding tube, and the other ends of the multiple infusion tubes are connected to a main pipe;

[0016] The spray unit also includes a pump body installed on the supply tank, the outlet pipe of the pump body is connected to the main pipeline, and the inlet of the pump body is connected to the supply tank.

[0017] In some embodiments, a liquid inlet is provided above the supply tank, and a sealing cap is abutted against the liquid inlet.

[0018] In some embodiments, the stirrer includes a drive motor mounted on a supply tank and a stirring shaft rotatably mounted inside the supply tank, the output shaft of the drive motor being connected to the stirring shaft.

[0019] This application provides a seedling cultivation box for Chinese medicinal herbs. An automated nutrient solution supply system replaces manual addition, reducing manual operation time and labor intensity, and significantly improving seedling cultivation efficiency. Simultaneously, a stirrer ensures uniform mixing of the nutrient solution components, improving its quality and facilitating better nutrient absorption by the seedlings, thus accelerating their growth.

[0020] The spray nozzle ensures that the nutrient solution is evenly sprayed into every corner of the seedling tray, guaranteeing that each seedling receives sufficient nutrition. This avoids differences in seedling growth caused by uneven nutrient solution spraying, and improves the uniformity and quality of seedling cultivation. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] This application provides a seedling breeding box for Chinese medicinal materials, which can solve the problem that in the existing Chinese medicinal material seedling boxes in related technologies, most seedling boxes still rely on manual spraying of nutrient solution, which is cumbersome and uneven in supply.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-3A seedling breeding box for Chinese medicinal materials includes: a box body 1, which has a seedling chamber 2 inside, and a plurality of placement boxes 3 arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the seedling chamber 2. Each placement box 3 has a liquid storage chamber 31 inside, and a seedling box 4 is inserted into the placement box 3. A filter plate 41 is arranged inside the seedling box 4; a supply mechanism 5, which includes a spray section 51 arranged above the seedling box 4, and a supply tank 52 arranged on the box body 1. The supply tank 52 is used to supply liquid to the spray section 51, and a stirrer 53 is arranged inside the supply tank 52; a plurality of supplementary lights 6 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the seedling chamber 2, and the supplementary lights 6 are located above the corresponding seedling box 4.

[0032] Inside the seedling chamber 2 of the box 1, multiple placement boxes 3 are placed sequentially from top to bottom. Seedling boxes 4 are then inserted into the placement boxes 3. At this time, the filter plate 41 inside the seedling box 4 is in working condition. Meanwhile, the liquid storage chamber 31 can pre-store a certain amount of liquid, such as water or initial nutrient solution. Furthermore, the bottom end of the absorbent cotton rope 45 on the seedling box 4 extends into the liquid storage chamber 31. Through capillary action, the absorbent cotton rope 45 can slowly absorb the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 31 into the seedling box 4, providing basic moisture and nutrients for the seedlings.

[0033] The supply tank 52 is used to store the prepared nutrient solution. Its internal stirrer 53 thoroughly mixes all components of the nutrient solution to prevent sedimentation or stratification, ensuring the quality and stability of the nutrient solution. When nutrient solution spraying is required for the seedlings, the spray unit 51 evenly sprays the nutrient solution onto the seedlings in the seedling box 4, providing them with sufficient nutrition.

[0034] Inside the seedling room 2, multiple supplemental lighting lamps 6 are arranged from top to bottom, each located above a corresponding seedling box 4. The supplemental lighting lamps 6 can provide appropriate light intensity and duration according to the needs of seedling growth, simulating a natural light environment, promoting photosynthesis in the seedlings, and ensuring healthy growth of the seedlings.

[0035] By replacing manual nutrient solution addition with an automated nutrient solution supply system, the time and labor intensity of manual operation are reduced, greatly improving the efficiency of seedling cultivation. At the same time, the agitator 53 ensures uniform mixing of the nutrient solution components, improving the quality of the nutrient solution and facilitating better nutrient absorption by seedlings, thus accelerating their growth.

[0036] By employing multiple surrounding pipes 511 and nozzles 513 in the spray section 51, the nutrient solution can be evenly sprayed into every corner of the seedling box 4, ensuring that each seedling receives sufficient nutrition. This avoids differences in seedling growth caused by uneven spraying of the nutrient solution, and improves the uniformity and quality of seedling cultivation.

[0037] The design of the liquid storage chamber 31 and the absorbent cotton rope 45 in the placement box 3 provides a continuous and stable water supply for the seedlings. Combined with the nutrient solution supply in the spray section 51, it meets the water and nutrient needs of the seedlings at different growth stages.

[0038] By using supplemental lighting, suitable light is provided according to the growth needs of the seedlings, simulating a natural light environment, promoting photosynthesis in the seedlings, and benefiting their healthy growth and development.

[0039] The supplementary light 6 in this embodiment includes:

[0040] LED beads, specifically, are LED beads of different colors such as red, blue, and white arranged in a specific ratio. For example, red LED beads help promote photosynthesis and growth in plants, blue LED beads promote root development and chlorophyll synthesis, and white LED beads provide a lighting environment similar to natural light. The settings can be configured according to actual needs.

[0041] Lampshade: Usually made of transparent or semi-transparent plastic or glass, it serves to protect the LED beads and focus the light.

[0042] Dimming circuit: Located inside the supplementary light 6, it adjusts the brightness of the LED beads by changing the current or voltage in the circuit. Specifically, the dimming circuit can use PWM pulse width modulation dimming technology, which controls the average power of the LED beads by changing the duty cycle of the pulse signal, thereby achieving brightness adjustment.

[0043] Control Panel: Located on housing 1 for easy user operation. The control panel typically has multiple buttons, knobs, and a display screen for selecting different light intensity levels or manually adjusting brightness. It can also display real-time information such as current light intensity and operating mode.

[0044] Sensor: Used to detect the light intensity of the surrounding environment. The sensor transmits the detected light intensity signal to the dimming circuit, which automatically adjusts the brightness of the LED beads according to the preset light intensity value, so that the seedlings are always in a suitable light environment.

[0045] In practical applications, when current passes through an LED chip, electrons and holes recombine, releasing energy and radiating it as photons, thus producing visible light. Different colored LEDs use different semiconductor materials, resulting in different wavelengths of emitted light and thus different colors.

[0046] It should be noted that the placement box 3 in this embodiment is a rectangular box, the liquid storage cavity 31 is opened on the top of the rectangular box, and the liquid storage cavity 31 is open.

[0047] The placement box 3 is a rectangular box with an open liquid storage cavity 31 at the top, allowing operators to directly observe the liquid level, such as water or initial nutrient solution, within the cavity. This facilitates timely replenishment of the liquid and prevents insufficient liquid from affecting seedling growth.

[0048] Meanwhile, the open-shaped liquid storage chamber 31 also makes it convenient for operators to adjust the position of the absorbent cotton rope 45, ensuring that it can work normally and improving the convenience of operation.

[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the seedling box 4 in this embodiment includes a fixed frame 43 and a seedling platform 42 connected to each other. The filter plate 41 is embedded in the seedling platform 42, and a surrounding plate 44 is provided on the seedling platform 42. The fixed frame 43 is inserted into the liquid storage cavity 31. A water-absorbing cotton rope 45 is inserted into the filter plate 41, and the bottom end of the water-absorbing cotton rope 45 extends into the liquid storage cavity 31.

[0050] When there is too much water in the seedling medium, the excess water will seep through the pores of the filter plate 41 to the bottom, preventing water accumulation in the seedling medium from causing the seedling roots to rot.

[0051] Furthermore, one end of the absorbent cotton rope 45 is inserted into the filter plate 41, and the other end extends into the liquid storage chamber 31, which stores water or nutrient solution. The absorbent cotton rope 45 utilizes capillary action to slowly absorb the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 31 and transport it upwards. The liquid absorbed by the absorbent cotton rope 45 gradually permeates into the soil or seedling medium above the filter plate 41, providing the seedlings with the water and nutrients needed for growth. As the seedlings absorb water and nutrients, the absorbent cotton rope 45 continuously replenishes the liquid from the liquid storage chamber 31, forming an automatic water supply system.

[0052] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the spray unit 51 includes a plurality of circular pipes 511 arranged sequentially from the inside out. The circular pipes 511 are rectangular, and the plurality of circular pipes 511 are connected to each other through a plurality of adapter pipes 512. A plurality of nozzles 513 are provided at the bottom of the circular pipes 511. An infusion pipe 514 is provided on the outermost circular pipe 511, and a main pipe 515 is connected to the other ends of the plurality of infusion pipes 514. The spray unit 51 also includes a pump body 516 provided on a supply tank 52. The outlet pipe of the pump body 516 is connected to the main pipe 515, and the inlet of the pump body 516 is connected to the supply tank 52.

[0053] The supply tank 52 stores the prepared nutrient solution. After the pump 516 is started, it draws the nutrient solution from the supply tank 52 through its inlet and then delivers it to the main pipeline 515 through the outlet pipe. The main pipeline 515 distributes the nutrient solution to various infusion pipes 514. Since the other ends of multiple infusion pipes 514 are connected to the outermost surrounding pipe 511, the nutrient solution will enter the outermost surrounding pipe 511.

[0054] Multiple circumferential tubes 511 are connected by multiple adapter tubes 512. The nutrient solution starts from the outermost circumferential tube 511 and flows sequentially into each of the inner circumferential tubes 511 through the adapter tubes 512, forming a circulating flow channel, so that the nutrient solution can be evenly distributed in each circumferential tube 511.

[0055] Multiple nozzles 513 are provided at the bottom of the surrounding tube 511. When the nutrient solution flows in the surrounding tube 511, it will be sprayed evenly from the nozzles 513 and covered on the seedlings in the seedling box 4, providing sufficient nutrition for the seedlings.

[0056] Multiple circular tubes 511 are arranged sequentially from the inside out in a rectangular shape, allowing the nutrient solution to be sprayed evenly onto the seedlings in the seedling box 4 from multiple directions. Multiple nozzles 513 at the bottom of each circular tube 511 further ensure the uniformity of spraying, avoiding differences in seedling growth caused by uneven spraying, and promoting uniform growth of seedlings.

[0057] Multiple circumferential pipes 511 are connected by a transfer pipe 512, forming a circulating flow channel.

[0058] By adjusting the power of pump body 516, the delivery speed and flow rate of the nutrient solution can be controlled, thereby achieving precise control of the spraying volume. Operators can flexibly adjust the operating parameters of pump body 516 according to the growth stage of the seedlings and actual needs to achieve the best spraying effect.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, a liquid inlet is provided above the supply tank 52, and a sealing cap is abutted against the liquid inlet. When it is necessary to replenish nutrient solution or other liquids into the supply tank 52, the sealing cap can be opened, and the liquid can be poured into the supply tank 52 through the liquid inlet. After replenishment, the sealing cap can be reattached to the liquid inlet to achieve a seal at the liquid inlet, preventing external impurities, dust, etc. from entering the supply tank 52 and contaminating the internal liquid, while also preventing liquid evaporation or leakage.

[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, specifically, the stirrer 53 in this embodiment includes a drive motor 531 mounted on the supply tank 52 and a stirring shaft 532 rotatably mounted inside the supply tank 52, wherein the output shaft of the drive motor 531 is connected to the stirring shaft 532.

[0061] When it is necessary to stir the liquid, such as nutrient solution, in the supply tank 52, the drive motor 531 is started. The output shaft of the drive motor 531 rotates, and the rotational motion of the output shaft is transmitted to the stirring shaft 532, causing the stirring shaft 532 to rotate inside the supply tank 52. During the rotation of the stirring shaft 532, the liquid in the supply tank 52 is stirred, so that the various components in the liquid are evenly mixed.

[0062] In the supply tank 52, the nutrient solution typically consists of multiple components, such as macroelements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as various microelements and additives. The stirring action of the agitator 53 ensures that these components are thoroughly mixed, preventing stratification or sedimentation and ensuring that the seedlings can absorb uniform and stable nutrition.

[0063] Stirring can make the dissolved oxygen content in the nutrient solution more uniform, which is conducive to some chemical reactions that require oxygen, and improves the activity and effectiveness of the nutrient solution.
