Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydroponic technology for chili seedlings, specifically a hydroponic chili seedling cup. Background Technology

[0002] Chili peppers are an important vegetable crop in my country. In the production of chili peppers in open fields and greenhouses, seedling cultivation is necessary to ensure the survival rate.

[0003] Traditional hydroponic cups for chili seedlings do not allow the seedlings to remain upright during hydroponic cultivation, preventing the roots from fully absorbing the nutrient solution. Furthermore, if the seedlings are tilted during growth, their branches and leaves may not fully unfold, thus affecting photosynthesis and overall growth. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a hydroponic chili seedling cup, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art where traditional hydroponic chili seedling cups cannot keep chili seedlings upright to allow the roots to fully absorb nutrients. Furthermore, if the chili seedlings are tilted during growth, their branches and leaves may not fully unfold, thus affecting photosynthesis and overall growth.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a chili seedling cup, comprising a water storage cavity, a seedling cup movably engaged within the water storage cavity, multiple drainage holes at the bottom of the seedling cup arranged in a rectangular array within the seedling cup, a sponge pad at the bottom of the seedling cup, two opposing sliding grooves at the top of the seedling cup, two springs fixedly installed within the sliding grooves, a top cover fixedly installed on the outer surface of the springs, a pull block fixedly installed on the outer surface of the top cover, a limiting groove with a semi-circular shape on the upper surface of the top cover, and a protrusion fixedly installed on the outer surface of the seedling cup near the bottom.

[0006] Using the above technical solution, the top cover of the seedling cup is opened by pulling the pull block to both sides. Then, the staff puts the pepper seedlings to be hydroponically grown into the seedling cup. After that, the staff releases the pull block, which resets the spring installed in the slide, so that the two top covers of the seedling cup are connected. Since both top covers are equipped with limiting grooves, the two limiting grooves will connect after the top covers are closed. The stems of the hydroponically grown pepper seedlings will then be located in the limiting grooves, so that the pepper seedlings are in an upright position during hydroponics, allowing the roots and stems of the pepper seedlings to better absorb the nutrient solution in the seedling cup.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixedly installed near the bottom of the water storage cavity, and four positioning rods are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water storage cavity. The four positioning rods are arranged in a rectangular array on the inner wall of the water storage cavity. A drain port is provided at the bottom of the water storage cavity, and a solenoid valve is provided in the drain port.

[0008] Using the above technical solution, four positioning rods arranged in a rectangular array are installed on the inner wall of the water storage cavity. This ensures that the seedling cups can remain stable after being placed in the water storage cavity. Furthermore, the four support rods and support plates installed at the bottom of the water storage cavity work together to maintain the stability of the water storage cavity.

[0009] Preferably, four support rods are fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage cavity, and the four support rods are arranged in a rectangular array at the bottom of the water storage cavity, with a support plate fixedly installed at the bottom of each support rod.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the four support rods and support plates installed at the bottom of the water storage chamber can work together to keep the water storage chamber stable.

[0011] Preferably, the multiple drainage holes in the seedling cup all penetrate the bottom of the seedling cup, and the sponge pad at the bottom of the seedling cup fits into the inner wall of the seedling cup.

[0012] Using the above technical solution, the seedling cup is placed inside the water storage chamber. After the nutrient solution seeps into the seedling cup through the seepage holes at the bottom of the seedling cup, it then seeps into the seedling cup through the sponge pad.

[0013] Preferably, the top covers engaged in the chute are all restrained within the chute by springs, and the restraining grooves on the two top covers at the top of the seedling cup are circular after they are joined together.

[0014] Using the above technical solution, the two top covers of the seedling cup are joined together. Since both top covers are equipped with limiting grooves, when the top covers are joined together, the two limiting grooves will be connected. The stems of the hydroponically grown pepper seedlings will then be located within the limiting grooves, thus keeping the pepper seedlings upright during hydroponics.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This chili seedling hydroponic cup opens by pulling the top cover to both sides using a pull block. The chili seedlings to be hydroponically grown are then placed into the cup. Releasing the pull block resets the spring installed in the sliding groove, allowing the two top covers to align. Since both top covers have retaining grooves, these grooves align after the top covers are closed, placing the chili seedling stems within the retaining grooves. This ensures the chili seedlings remain upright during hydroponics, allowing for better nutrient absorption by the roots and stems within the cup.

[0017] 2. This chili seedling cup, after being placed into the water storage chamber, has protrusions on its outer surface that are restricted by a limiting plate inside the chamber. This prevents the bottom of the seedling cup from contacting the bottom of the water storage chamber, thus ensuring the nutrient solution enters the cup through the seepage holes. Four rectangular arrayed positioning rods are installed on the inner wall of the water storage chamber, which helps maintain the stability of the seedling cup after placement. Furthermore, the four support rods and support plate at the bottom of the water storage chamber work together to further stabilize the chamber. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Referring to Figures 1-4, a chili seedling cultivation cup is described. A seedling cup 2 is movably engaged within a water storage cavity 1. Multiple drainage holes 3 are arranged in a rectangular array at the bottom of the seedling cup 2. A sponge pad 4 is positioned at the bottom of the seedling cup 2. Two opposing sliding grooves 5 are located at the top of the seedling cup 2. Two springs 6 are fixedly installed within the sliding grooves 5. A top cover 7 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of each spring 6. A pull block 8 is fixedly installed on the outer end surface of the top cover 7. A limiting groove 9 is provided on the upper end surface of the top cover 7. The limiting groove 9 is semi-circular in shape. Multiple drainage holes 3 opened in the seedling cup 2 all penetrate the bottom of the seedling cup 2. The sponge pad 4 provided at the bottom of the seedling cup 2 fits against the inner wall of the seedling cup 2. The top covers 7 that are engaged in the sliding groove 5 are all limited in the sliding groove 5 by springs 6. After the two top covers 7 at the top of the seedling cup 2 are joined together, the limiting groove 9 provided on them is circular.

[0026] Working principle: When hydroponically cultivating chili seedlings, the worker first places the seedling cup 2 into the water storage chamber 1. Then, the nutrient solution seeps into the seedling cup 2 through the drainage holes 3 at the bottom and then through the sponge pad 4. Next, the worker pulls the top cover 7 to both sides using the pull block 8, opening the top cover 7 of the seedling cup 2. The worker then places the chili seedlings to be hydroponically cultivated into the seedling cup 2. Afterward, the worker releases the pull block 8, causing the spring 6 installed in the sliding groove 5 to return to its original position, thus allowing the two top covers 7 of the seedling cup 2 to align. Since both top covers 7 are equipped with limiting grooves 9... Therefore, after the top cover 7 is closed, the two limiting grooves 9 will be connected, and the stems of the hydroponically grown pepper seedlings will be located in the limiting grooves 9, so that the pepper seedlings are in an upright position during hydroponics. This allows the roots and stems of the pepper seedlings to better absorb the nutrient solution in the seedling cup 2, and also allows the pepper seedlings to carry out photosynthesis and improve the survival rate. The sponge pad 4 is located at the top of the drainage hole 3, so it can effectively prevent the roots of the pepper seedlings from growing out through the drainage hole 3, which would make it difficult to transplant the pepper seedlings from the seedling cup 2 later. When the seedling cup 2 is removed from the water storage cavity 1, the sponge pad 4 can also effectively keep the seedling cup 2 moist.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] Referring to Figures 1-4, a chili seedling cup 2 is provided. A protrusion 10 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the seedling cup 2 near the bottom. A limiting plate 11 is fixedly installed near the bottom inside the water storage cavity 1. Four positioning rods 12 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water storage cavity 1, arranged in a rectangular array. A drain port 13 is located at the bottom of the water storage cavity 1, and a solenoid valve is installed inside the drain port 13. Four support rods 14 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the water storage cavity 1, arranged in a rectangular array. A support plate 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of each support rod 14.

[0029] Working principle: After the seedling cup 2 is placed into the water storage chamber 1, the protrusion 10 installed on the outer surface of the seedling cup 2 will be restricted by the limiting plate 11 set in the water storage chamber 1, thereby preventing the bottom of the seedling cup 2 from contacting the bottom of the water storage chamber 1 and affecting the nutrient solution from entering the seedling cup 2 through the seepage hole 3. Then, four positioning rods 12 arranged in a rectangular array are installed on the inner wall of the water storage chamber 1, so that the seedling cup 2 can be kept stable after being placed in the water storage chamber 1. Then, the four support rods 14 and the support plate 15 installed at the bottom of the water storage chamber 1 cooperate with each other to keep the water storage chamber 1 stable. Then, the staff can drain the nutrient solution in the water storage chamber 1 through the drain port 13 set in the water storage chamber 1.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
