Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn seed cultivation technology, specifically to a cultivation box for corn seed production. Background Technology

[0002] Corn has strong drought resistance, cold resistance, and tolerance to poor soil, as well as excellent environmental adaptability. As a high-yield grain crop in China, corn is an important feed source for animal husbandry, breeding, and aquaculture, and is also an indispensable raw material for food, medical and health, light industry, and chemical industry. Before planting corn, seeds are usually cultivated in a cultivation box to germinate them before being planted in the soil. During the cultivation process, the seeds are first soaked and stirred in warm water at about 50°C, and then soaked in room temperature water for about 2 hours to allow them to absorb enough water. Finally, they are taken out and placed in a warm environment to germinate for 1-2 days. The cultivation box mainly provides a suitable germination environment for the soaked seeds.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cultivation box for corn seed production, including a cultivation box body 1, a planting rack 2 fixed inside the cultivation box body 1, a cultivation basin 3 installed above the planting rack 2 and a spray assembly 4 connected to the cultivation basin 3, the spray assembly 4 including a water tank 401, a water pump 402, a water supply pipe 403, an inlet pipe 404, a telescopic pipe 405, a connecting pipe 406 and an atomizing nozzle 407, the water tank 401 is fixed to the lower side of the cultivation box body 1, the water pump 402 is set above the water tank 401, the water supply pipe 403 is connected to the inlet pipe 404 through the cultivation box body 1, the telescopic pipe 405 is symmetrically connected above the inlet pipe 404, the telescopic pipe 405 is connected to the atomizing nozzle 407 through the connecting pipe 406 at the rear, the atomizing nozzle 407 penetrates one side of the cultivation basin 3 and extends into the interior of the cultivation basin 3, and an anti-fouling net is installed in front of the atomizing nozzle 407;

[0025] Furthermore, water or nutrient solution is drawn from water tank 401 by water pump 402 and transported to inlet pipe 404 inside the cultivation box body 1 via water pipe 403. At this time, inlet pipe 404 diverts the liquid to telescopic pipes 405 on both sides. When the height of planting tray 21 is adjusted, telescopic pipe 405 can stretch up and down, shorten or swing left and right by its own telescopic characteristics, so as to flexibly adapt to planting needs of different heights. Subsequently, the liquid flows into atomizing nozzle 407 through connecting pipe 406, and the liquid is converted into water mist or nutrient solution droplets by atomizing nozzle 407, which is evenly sprayed onto the corn seeds or seedlings in cultivation pot 3 to fully meet their water needs during germination and growth. Since atomizing nozzle 407 extends through the cultivation pot 3, it avoids directly watering and scattering the seeds or causing substrate compaction, while reducing the damage of water droplet impact to seedlings. In addition, the anti-fouling net set at the front end of atomizing nozzle 407 can effectively block external dust and mud, ensuring the cleanliness and normal operation of the irrigation system.

[0026] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the upper sides of the planting frame 2 are connected to sliding rods 5, and an electric telescopic rod 6 is installed on one side of the sliding rod 5;

[0027] Furthermore, when the height of the planting tray 21 needs to be adjusted, the electric telescopic rod 6 extends or shortens. When it extends, it pushes the planting tray 21 downward along the slide rod 5. At the same time, the telescopic tube 405 is stretched synchronously to ensure that the liquid delivery pipeline extends as the planting tray 21 descends. Conversely, when the electric telescopic rod 6 shortens, it pulls the planting tray 21 upward, and the telescopic tube 405 shortens and retracts. The slide rod 5 serves as a guide rail, providing stable support for the vertical movement of the planting tray 21 and preventing swaying and deviation. Therefore, the height of the planting tray 21 can be flexibly adjusted, which can not only meet the space requirements of different growth stages of plants, but also adapt to multi-layer three-dimensional planting layouts, significantly improving space utilization and planting efficiency.

[0028] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, a planting tray 21 is installed above the planting rack 2. The planting tray 21 is fitted onto the outer wall of the slide rod 5. A planting drawer 22 is movably installed above the planting tray 21. Positioning plates 23 are fixed on both sides of the planting drawer 22. A slide rail 24 is provided between the planting drawer 22 and the positioning plates 23. A slider 25 is engaged inside the slide rail 24.

[0029] Furthermore, when it is necessary to replace or place corn seeds, pull the planting box 22 outward, and its bottom slider 25 will slide along the slide rail 24 under the pull force, so that the planting box 22 can be smoothly moved out of the planting tray 21. Conversely, push the planting box 22 inward, and the slider 25 will slide in the opposite direction in the slide rail 24, so that the planting box 22 will return to the position above the planting tray 21, thus realizing the convenient pulling out of the planting box 22.

[0030] Working principle: Irradiation by the plant growth lamp 7 accelerates the germination process of corn seeds and promotes robust growth of seedling stems and leaves. Simultaneously, the louvered vent 9 provides ventilation to the cultivation box 1 while preventing external dust and insects from directly entering. The water pump 402 draws water or nutrient solution from the water tank 401, which is then distributed via the water delivery pipe 403 and inlet pipe 404 to the telescopic pipe 405. When the height of the planting tray 21 is adjusted, the telescopic pipe 405 extends and swings to adapt to different heights. The liquid flows through the connecting pipe 406 into the atomizing nozzle 407, spraying droplets onto the seeds or seedlings in the cultivation pot 3. The atomizing nozzle 407 extends into the pot to prevent the seeds and seedlings from being washed away. To prevent soil compaction and seedling damage, the front-end anti-fouling net prevents dust and mud. When adjusting the height of the planting tray 21, the electric telescopic rod 6 extends to push the tray downwards along the slide rod 5, and the telescopic tube 405 is stretched. When shortened, it pulls the planting tray 21 upwards, and the telescopic tube 405 is shortened. The slide rod 5 provides guidance and support, enabling flexible adjustment of the tray height to suit growth and multi-layer planting, improving space utilization and efficiency. When changing or placing corn seeds, the planting drawer 22 is pulled outwards by opening the box door 8. Its bottom slider 25 slides along the slide rail 24 to move the drawer out of the tray. When pushed inwards, the slider 25 slides in the opposite direction to drive the planting drawer 22 back into place, achieving convenient pull-out.

[0031] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
