Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kudzu seedling technology, and in particular to a constant temperature layered seedling rack device for kudzu seedling propagation. Background Technology
[0002] Kudzu root, also known as arrowroot or sweet kudzu, is a plant used for both food and medicine. Its roots are rich in starch, isoflavones, and other active ingredients, giving it high economic and medicinal value. With the increasing market demand for kudzu root, large-scale cultivation and efficient seedling techniques have become particularly important.
[0003] Traditional open-air seedling cultivation is significantly constrained by the natural environment. Key environmental factors such as temperature and humidity are difficult to control. When encountering severe weather such as low temperatures, heavy rain, and strong sunlight, the survival rate of kudzu seedlings is often below 60%, and the seedling cycle is as long as 45-60 days, which cannot meet the needs of intensive production. Although simple greenhouse seedling cultivation can resist external environmental interference to a certain extent, the temperature distribution inside the greenhouse is uneven, with a temperature difference of 8-12℃ between the upper and lower layers. This results in uneven growth of kudzu seedlings in the same greenhouse, with a robust seedling rate of less than 50%, which seriously affects the survival rate of subsequent transplanting and the yield of kudzu.
[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: existing technologies in the propagation of kudzu seedlings have problems such as imprecise environmental control, low space utilization, high labor costs, difficulty in pest and disease control, and insufficient automation. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a constant temperature layered seedling rack device for kudzu seedling propagation, comprising a placement box and a pair of rotating mounting discs. The pair of rotating mounting discs are respectively rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the placement box. A limiting component is provided between the outer side wall of the pair of rotating mounting discs and the placement box. Several fixing rods are uniformly fixedly installed at equal intervals between the pair of rotating mounting discs. A cultivation platform is provided below each of the fixing rods.

Several fixed columns are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer side wall of the rotating mounting plate, and a rotating limiting plate is rotatably installed at the other end of the several fixed columns.
[0008] Preferably, a number of fixed columns and rotating limiting discs are movably arranged in annular limiting grooves, the annular limiting grooves are concentrically arranged, and the cross-section of the annular limiting grooves is convex.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] In this invention, by setting up a pair of rotating mounting discs and several layered cultivation platforms, the seedling space is utilized in multiple layers, which greatly increases the seedling yield per unit area and thus significantly improves seedling efficiency. The rotating mounting discs are driven by a low-speed motor and, in conjunction with the layered cultivation platforms, the seedling rack can be rotated automatically, which facilitates the unified management and operation of seedlings in different positions and reduces the workload of manual handling and care.
[0014] In this invention, the rotating mounting plate design allows the seedling rack to rotate as a whole, facilitating observation, fertilization, and pest and disease control for seedlings at different levels, thus improving management convenience.

[0025] 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.
[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a temperature-controlled, layered seedling rack device for propagating kudzu seedlings, including a placement box 1 for providing a controlled growth environment for kudzu seedlings. Inside the placement box 1, a pair of rotating mounting discs 2 are symmetrically arranged. These two rotating mounting discs 2 are respectively rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the placement box 1, forming a rotatable support structure.
[0027] To ensure the stability and positioning accuracy of the rotating mounting discs 2 during rotation, a limiting component 3 is provided between the outer walls of the pair of rotating mounting discs 2 and the mounting box 1. This limiting component 3 can restrict the radial and axial displacement of the rotating mounting discs 2, ensuring their smooth rotation.
[0028] Between a pair of rotating mounting discs 2, several fixing rods 4 are evenly and uniformly fixed. These fixing rods 4 extend horizontally and serve as support structures. Below each fixing rod 4, a cultivation platform 41 is provided for placing seedling trays or nutrient pots for kudzu seedlings. The cultivation platforms 41 are distributed in layers along the circumference of the rotating mounting discs 2, realizing layered utilization of space. To ensure that the cultivation platforms 41 are stably fixed to the fixing rods 4, a pair of fixing frames 42 are rotatably fitted at both ends of each fixing rod 4. The pair of fixing frames 42 are fixedly installed at both ends of the top surface of the corresponding cultivation platform 41, thereby firmly connecting the cultivation platform 41 to the fixing rod 4. This design allows the cultivation platform 41 to rotate together with the fixing rods 4 and the rotating mounting discs 2, realizing layered seedling cultivation.
[0029] To drive the rotation of the entire seedling rack structure, a low-speed motor 43 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the placement box 1. The output shaft of the low-speed motor 43 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the rotating mounting plates 2. Driven by the low-speed motor 43, the entire seedling rack structure, consisting of the rotating mounting plate 2, the fixed rod 4, and the cultivation platform 41, can rotate slowly and stably, facilitating the management and operation of seedlings in different positions and ensuring that the seedlings receive uniform light and water.
[0030] To automate the irrigation of kudzu seedlings, a spraying assembly 5 is installed on the inner top surface of the placement box 1. This spraying assembly 5 can evenly spray water or nutrient solution onto the kudzu seedlings on each cultivation platform 41.
[0031] To maintain a constant temperature environment and facilitate air exchange inside the placement box 1, a temperature control and ventilation component 6 is installed on the inner wall of the placement box 1. This temperature control and ventilation component 6 can regulate the temperature inside the box and introduce fresh air while expelling stale air, providing a suitable growing environment for the kudzu seedlings.
[0032] Through the above structure, the present invention realizes constant-temperature stratified propagation of kudzu seedlings. The rotating mounting plate 2 and the stratified cultivation platform 41 improve space utilization; the low-speed motor 43 realizes the automated rotation of the seedling rack, which is convenient for management; the spray assembly 5 and the temperature control and ventilation assembly 6 provide precise environmental control to ensure that the kudzu seedlings grow under optimal conditions, thereby improving seedling efficiency and quality.
[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the limiting component 3 includes an annular limiting rail 31, which is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the mounting box 1, forming an annular track. A limiting ring 32 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side wall of the rotating mounting plate 2, and the limiting ring 32 is movably disposed within the annular limiting rail 31. The cooperation between the annular limiting rail 31 and the limiting ring 32 can effectively limit the radial displacement of the rotating mounting plate 2 and prevent it from shaking during rotation.
[0034] To further improve the stability and positioning accuracy of the rotating mounting plate 2, several annular limiting grooves 33 are provided on the inner side wall of the mounting box 1. These annular limiting grooves 33 are concentrically arranged with the annular limiting rail 31. Several fixing posts 34 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer side wall of the rotating mounting plate 2. A rotating limiting plate 35 is rotatably installed at the other end of each fixing post 34.
[0035] Several fixed posts 34 and a rotating limiting plate 35 are movably disposed within an annular limiting groove 33. The annular limiting groove 33 has a convex cross-section. This convex cross-section design allows the rotating limiting plate 35 to be confined within the groove, enabling rotation while preventing axial disengagement, thereby further limiting the axial displacement of the rotating mounting plate 2 and ensuring the stability and reliability of the rotating mounting plate 2 during rotation.
[0036] Through the coordinated action of the annular limiting rail 31, limiting ring 32, annular limiting groove 33, fixed column 34 and rotating limiting plate 35, the limiting component 3 can provide all-round stable support and precise limiting for the rotating mounting plate 2, ensuring the stability and safety of the entire seedling rack device during long-term operation.
[0037] Reference Figure 5As shown, the sprinkler assembly 5 includes several main sprinkler pipes 51, which are fixedly installed on the inner top surface of the seedling tray 1, arranged in parallel or crisscrossing patterns to cover the entire seedling area. An infusion pipe 52 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the seedling tray 1. Several main sprinkler pipes 51 are fixedly inserted through the outer wall of the seedling tray 1 and connected to the infusion pipe 52. Multiple sprinkler heads 53 are evenly and equidistantly connected to the main sprinkler pipes 51, which can evenly spray water or nutrient solution onto the cultivation platform 41 below. The infusion pipes 52 are connected to an inlet pipe 54, which can be connected to an external water source or nutrient solution supply system. This design enables automated and uniform irrigation of kudzu seedlings, ensuring that each seedling receives sufficient water and nutrients.
[0038] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the temperature control and ventilation assembly 6 includes a main ventilation pipe 61, which is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the housing 1. A temperature control cylinder 62 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. Several air supply pipes 63 are evenly spaced and connected to the main ventilation pipe 61, passing through the outer walls of the housing 1 and the temperature control cylinder 62 in sequence. An electric temperature control pipe 64, which can be an electric heating pipe or a cooling pipe, is fixedly installed inside the temperature control cylinder 62 to regulate the air temperature passing through it. Several air passage holes 65 are evenly spaced and provided on the outer wall of the temperature control cylinder 62, allowing air whose temperature has been regulated by the temperature control cylinder 62 to enter the housing 1. A ventilation branch pipe 66 is connected to the end of the main ventilation pipe 61, which can be connected to a fan or exhaust system to achieve air circulation and exchange between the inside and outside of the housing. The temperature and humidity inside the placement box 1 can be precisely controlled by the temperature control and ventilation component 6, and the air can be kept fresh to provide the best growing environment for the kudzu seedlings.
[0039] In addition, to further optimize the seedling environment, a water collection box 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the seedling box 1 to collect excess water and nutrient solution after spraying, prevent water accumulation, and allow for recycling. Several LED supplemental lights 8 are also fixedly installed on the top surface of the seedling box 1. These LED supplemental lights 8 can provide sufficient and suitable light spectrum for the kudzu seedlings, make up for insufficient natural light, promote photosynthesis, and accelerate seedling growth.
[0040] 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.
