Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedling raising equipment technology, and in particular to an open-air seedling raising equipment for seedling trays. Background Technology

[0002] Factory-style seedling raising takes place entirely in greenhouses or plastic tunnels, where the temperature, humidity, and light conditions are adjusted according to the seedling growth process. This method has advantages such as being unrestricted by seasons and climates, producing uniform and consistent seedling growth, and high production efficiency. During the seedling raising process, open-air seedling raising equipment is often used in conjunction with seedling trays.

[0003] Regarding the above-mentioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: Currently common open-air seedling raising equipment generally adopts a longitudinal stacking layout, where seedling trays are stacked one after another. Although this design saves space, it causes the seedling trays on the lower layer to be completely blocked by the seedling trays directly above them, preventing them from receiving sufficient direct sunlight. The resulting uneven lighting problem will significantly inhibit the photosynthetic efficiency of the seedlings on the lower layer, resulting in slow growth and weak seedlings, which are significantly different from the strong seedlings on the upper layer. Ultimately, this seriously restricts the improvement and uniformity of the overall seedling raising quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing open-air seedling raising equipment adopts a longitudinal stacking layout, which causes the lower seedling trays to be blocked from sunlight by the upper layer, resulting in uneven lighting and affecting the growth and quality uniformity of seedlings. To this end, we propose an open-air seedling raising equipment with seedling trays.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: an open-air seedling raising device for seedling trays, comprising a base: a mounting plate is fixed to the top of the base, and multiple L-shaped placement racks are installed at both ends of both sides of the mounting plate. The L-shaped placement racks are arranged longitudinally, and the length of the L-shaped placement racks increases sequentially from top to bottom. Multiple placement trays for use with the L-shaped placement racks are provided on both sides of the mounting plate, and the placement trays are staggered from top to bottom. Multiple first support plates for use with placement grooves are fixed to the middle of both sides of the mounting plate. A placement groove is opened on the top of the placement tray, and a support block is fixed to the bottom of the first support plate. The support block has a triangular structure, and the side of the support block closest to the mounting plate is fixed to the support block.

[0006] Preferably, both ends of the top of the mounting plate are fixed with pillars, the top of the pillars are fixed with a horizontal plate, the two sides of the horizontal plate are provided with grooves, the inside of the grooves is fixed with a rotating shaft, the surface of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected with a rotating block, one end of the rotating block is fixed with a protective plate, and the top of both sides of the pillars are fixed with a second support plate that cooperates with the protective plate.

[0007] Preferably, two positioning posts are fixed at the bottom of each end of the placement tray, and two positioning holes that are slidably connected to the positioning posts are opened at the bottom of the L-shaped placement frame.

[0008] Preferably, extension plates are fixed at both ends of the horizontal plate, and two through holes are opened at the top of the extension plates. Limiting posts are slidably connected inside the two through holes. A control block is fixed at the bottom of the limiting post. Limiting grooves that are slidably connected to the limiting posts are opened at both ends of the protective plate near the horizontal plate. A spring is sleeved on the surface of the limiting post. One end of the spring is fixed to the control block, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the bottom of the extension plate.

[0009] Preferably, magnetic blocks are installed on both sides of the bottom of the protective plate, and the magnetic blocks are used in conjunction with the second support plate.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the protective plate has a slope.

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] In this invention, by staggering the placement of the trays, the vertical space is utilized, which greatly reduces the shading of sunlight from the upper layer to the lower layer, allowing the seedlings to receive sufficient light, thus ensuring the efficiency of photosynthesis and improving the overall quality and consistency of seedling cultivation.

[0013] In this invention, the rotating shaft and the groove are connected by rotation, allowing the protective plate to be unfolded and retracted as needed. This allows the protective plate to shield the seedlings from strong sunlight, preventing the seedlings from losing moisture too quickly and dying. At the same time, it can effectively prevent rain and snow from damaging the seedlings, thus ensuring the survival rate of the seedlings. Attached Figure Description

[0020] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an open-air seedling raising device for seedling trays, including a base 1: an installation plate 2 is fixed on the top of the base 1, and multiple L-shaped placement racks 3 are installed at both ends of both sides of the installation plate 2. The L-shaped placement racks 3 are arranged longitudinally, and the length of the L-shaped placement racks 3 increases sequentially from top to bottom. Multiple placement trays 5 that cooperate with the L-shaped placement racks 3 are provided on both sides of the installation plate 2. The placement trays 5 are arranged in a staggered manner from top to bottom. Multiple first trays 4, which cooperate with the placement slots 6, are fixed to the middle of both sides of the mounting plate 2. The placement tray 5 has a placement slot 6 at its top. A support block 22 is fixed to the bottom of each first tray 4. The support block 22 has a triangular structure, and the side of the support block 22 closest to the mounting plate 2 is fixed to the first tray 5. The L-shaped placement rack 3, with its varying lengths, allows for staggered placement of the placement trays 5. When placing the placement trays 5, the side of the placement tray 5 furthest from the mounting plate 2 is aligned with the end of the L-shaped placement rack 3 furthest from the mounting plate 2. This reduces sunlight exposure from the upper layer to the lower layer when the seedling trays are placed inside the placement slots 6. The seedling trays are positioned by the placement grooves 6 to prevent them from shifting or falling off. The first support plate 4 supports the placement tray 5 to prevent deformation in the middle of the tray 5. The support block 22 increases the support force of the first support plate 4 to prevent it from breaking. By staggering the placement trays 5, the vertical space is utilized to greatly reduce the shading of sunlight from the upper layer to the lower layer, allowing the seedlings to receive sufficient light to ensure the efficiency of photosynthesis and improve the overall seedling quality and consistency.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: Support columns 7 are fixed at both ends of the top of the mounting plate 2. A horizontal plate 8 is fixed to the top of the support column 7. Grooves 9 are provided on both sides of the horizontal plate 8. A rotating shaft 10 is fixed inside the groove 9. A rotating block 11 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 10. A protective plate 12 is fixed to one end of the rotating block 11. Second support plates 13, which cooperate with the protective plate 12, are fixed to the top of both sides of the support column 7. Magnetic blocks 21 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the protective plate 12. The magnetic blocks 21 cooperate with the second support plates 13. Through the rotational connection of the rotating shaft 10 and the groove 9, the protective plate 12 can be... The protective plate 12 can be unfolded and retracted as needed, so that it can shield the seedlings from strong light, preventing the seedlings from losing water too quickly and dying. At the same time, it can effectively prevent rain and snow from damaging the seedlings, thus ensuring the survival rate of the seedlings. When the protective plate 12 is unfolded, the second support plate 13 limits the position of the protective plate 12 to prevent it from over-flipping. The magnetic block 21 can be magnetically attracted to the metal second support plate 13, thereby limiting the position of the protective plate 12 and preventing it from swinging up and down.

[0023] Reference Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment: two positioning posts 14 are fixed at the bottom of both ends of the placement tray 5, and two positioning holes 15 are opened at the bottom of the L-shaped placement frame 3, which are slidably connected to the positioning posts 14. Through the sliding connection between the positioning posts 14 and the positioning holes 15, the placement tray 5 is limited, preventing the placement tray 5 from shifting at the top of the L-shaped placement frame 3.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: both ends of the horizontal plate 8 are fixed with extension plates 16. The top of the extension plate 16 has two through holes 17. The inside of each through hole 17 is slidably connected with a limit post 18. The bottom of the limit post 18 is fixed with a control block 23. Both ends of the protective plate 12 near the horizontal plate 8 are provided with limit grooves 19 that are slidably connected with the limit post 18. A spring 20 is sleeved on the surface of the limit post 18. One end of the spring 20 is fixed with the control block 23, and the other end of the spring 20 is fixed with the bottom of the extension plate 16. When the protective plate 12 is retracted, the control block 23 drives the limit post 18 to insert into the inside of the limit groove 19, thereby fixing the position of the protective plate 12. The spring 20 generates a continuous upward pulling force to limit the position of the control block 23, preventing the control block 23 from falling and causing the limit post 18 to detach from the inside of the limit groove 19.

[0025] Reference Figure 1As shown in this embodiment, the top of the protective plate 12 is provided with a slope 24. The slope 24 can guide rainwater and debris falling on the top of the protective plate 12, so that they fall off the top of the protective plate 12 and avoid accumulation on the top of the protective plate 12.

[0026] Working Principle: The L-shaped placement rack 3, with its varying lengths, allows for staggered placement of the seedling trays 5. When placing the trays 5, the side of the tray furthest from the mounting plate 2 is aligned with the end of the L-shaped placement rack 3 furthest from the mounting plate 2. This reduces sunlight shading from the upper layer to the lower layer when the seedling trays are placed inside the placement groove 6. The placement groove 6 also limits the placement of the seedling trays, preventing them from shifting or falling off. The first support plate 4 provides support for the trays 5, preventing deformation in the center. The support block 22 enhances the support capacity of the first support plate 4, preventing breakage. This staggered placement of the trays 5, utilizing longitudinal space, significantly reduces sunlight shading from the upper layer to the lower layer. This allows the seedlings to receive sufficient sunlight, ensuring the efficiency of photosynthesis and improving the overall quality and consistency of seedling cultivation. Through the rotational connection between the rotating shaft 10 and the groove 9, the protective plate 12 can be unfolded and retracted as needed. The protective plate 12 can shield the seedlings from strong sunlight, preventing the seedlings from dying due to accelerated water loss caused by strong sunlight. At the same time, it can effectively prevent rain and snow from damaging the seedlings, ensuring the survival rate of the seedlings. When the protective plate 12 is unfolded, the second support plate 13 limits the position of the protective plate 12 to prevent it from over-flipping. The magnetic block 21 can magnetically attract the metal second support plate 13, thereby limiting the position of the protective plate 12 and preventing it from swinging up and down.

[0027] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
