Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Ilex crenata planting technology, specifically to a seedling rack for Ilex crenata planting. Background Technology

[0002] In the seedling cultivation of *Ilex crenata*, seedling racks are an important tool to help cultivate seedlings efficiently. They are usually made of sturdy metal and designed with a multi-layer structure, which saves valuable seedling space and allows more *Ilex crenata* seedlings to be cultivated in a limited space. At the same time, they can be combined with an automatic irrigation system to precisely control the replenishment of water, which significantly improves the efficiency of seedling cultivation.

[0003] When using existing seedling racks, because the seedlings of *Ilex crenata* are different from other seedlings, they grow taller. However, the fixed spacing between the boards on traditional seedling racks makes it easy for the upper and lower seedling trays to block each other. This not only affects the light exposure of the seedlings but also restricts their growth space, which may lead to poor seedling growth and development and affect the overall planting quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a seedling rack for planting *Ilex crenata*, which has the advantage of flexibly adjusting the spacing between the placement boards, facilitating the staggered distribution of upper and lower seedling trays to improve lighting and growth space. This improves or solves, to a certain extent, the problem that existing seedling racks, due to the difference between *Ilex crenata* seedlings and other seedlings—that their growth is taller—and the fixed spacing between the placement boards easily leads to shading between upper and lower seedling trays, not only affecting the lighting of the *Ilex crenata* seedlings but also limiting their growth space, potentially resulting in poor seedling growth and development and affecting the overall planting quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a seedling rack for planting *Ilex asprella*, comprising a frame body, wherein three movable support devices are evenly arranged inside the frame body, and the three movable support devices are fixedly connected to the frame body; each movable support device includes a placement frame, a support component, and a control mechanism, wherein the placement frame is disposed inside the frame body, and the front and rear sides are fixedly connected to the placement frame, the support component is disposed inside the placement frame, and the control mechanism is disposed in the middle of the placement frame.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the placement assembly includes a limiting groove, a placement plate, and limiting sliders. There are two limiting grooves, each located on the front and rear surfaces inside the placement frame. There are two placement plates, each located on the left and right sides inside the placement frame. There are four limiting sliders, each fixedly connected to the front and rear surfaces of the two placement plates. The four limiting sliders extend into the limiting grooves on both sides and are slidably connected to them. The control mechanism is located between the two placement plates.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to the upper surface of both placement plates.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the control mechanism includes a drive component and a linkage component. The drive component is disposed between the two placement plates, and the linkage component consists of two components, which are respectively disposed at the front and rear ends of the drive component.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the driving assembly includes a screw and a crank handle. The screw is disposed between the two placement plates and is rotatably connected to the placement frame at both its front and rear ends. The front end of the screw extends through the frame and is rotatably connected to the frame. The crank handle is fixedly connected to the front end of the screw.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the linkage assembly includes a movable seat, a fixed seat, and support rods. The movable seat is sleeved on the front end surface of the screw and threadedly connected to the screw. There are two fixed seats, which are respectively fixedly connected to the front ends of the two placement plates on their respective sides. There are two support rods, with their rear ends sleeved on the left and right sides of the movable seat and rotatably connected to the movable seat. The front ends of the two support rods are inclined away from each other to the left and right sides and are respectively sleeved on the surfaces of the two fixed seats and rotatably connected to the two fixed seats.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a slide rail is fixedly connected to the lower surface inside the mounting frame, and the lower ends of the two movable seats are sleeved on the surface of the slide rail, and both are slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model, through the coordinated use of a frame, movable support device, placement frame, support assembly, limiting slide groove, placement plate, limiting slider, control mechanism, drive assembly, screw, crank, linkage assembly, moving seat, fixed seat, support rod, anti-slip pad, and slide rail, improves or solves to a certain extent the problem that existing seedling racks have when in use. Because the seedlings of *Ilex cornuta* are different from other seedlings, their plant growth is relatively tall. However, the fixed spacing of the placement plates on traditional seedling racks makes it easy for the upper and lower seedling trays to block each other, which not only affects the light exposure of the *Ilex cornuta* seedlings but also restricts their growth space, which may lead to poor seedling growth and development and affect the overall planting quality.

[0014] 2. This utility model, by setting up a movable support device, can flexibly adjust the spacing between the placement plates, so that the upper and lower seedling trays are staggered, effectively improving the seedling lighting conditions and expanding the growth space, avoiding the problem of seedlings blocking the upper and lower layers caused by traditional fixed-spacing seedling racks. In particular, by setting up a support component, the sliding cooperation of the limiting groove and the limiting slider ensures that the placement plate maintains a stable linear movement trajectory when adjusting the spacing, avoiding shaking. At the same time, the anti-slip pad can prevent the seedling trays from sliding, ensuring the stability of the seedling trays.

[0015] 3. This utility model, by setting up a control mechanism, utilizes the threaded transmission between the screw and the moving seat and the linkage structure of the support rod to precisely control the spacing adjustment of the two side placement plates, thereby achieving the staggered distribution of the upper and lower seedling trays. It is convenient to operate and has high adjustment accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0025] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model, which provides a seedling rack for planting Ilex chinensis, including a frame body 1, and three movable support devices 2 are evenly arranged inside the frame body 1, and the three movable support devices 2 are fixedly connected to the frame body 1.

[0028] The movable support device 2 includes a placement frame 3, a support component 4, and a control mechanism 5. The placement frame 3 is located inside the frame 1, and the front and rear sides are fixedly connected to the placement frame 3. The support component 4 is located inside the placement frame 3, and the control mechanism 5 is located in the middle of the placement frame 3.

[0029] Specifically, by setting up the movable support device 2, the spacing of the placement plates 42 can be flexibly adjusted, so that the upper and lower seedling trays are staggered, which effectively improves the seedling lighting conditions and expands the growth space, avoiding the problem of seedlings being blocked between the upper and lower layers caused by traditional fixed-spacing seedling racks.

[0030] Furthermore, when it is necessary to adjust the spacing between the seedling trays, the crank handle 512 is turned to drive the screw 511 to rotate. Since the movable seat 521 is threadedly connected to the screw 511 and its lower end slides along the slide rail 7, the rotation of the screw 511 causes the movable seat 521 to move back and forth. Through the support rod 523, the fixed seat 522 is pushed or pulled, which drives the placement plate 42 to slide along the limiting slide groove 41 to achieve spacing adjustment, thereby making the upper and lower seedling trays staggered.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] The second embodiment of this utility model provides a seedling rack for planting *Ilex asprella*. The supporting component 4 includes a limiting groove 41, a placement plate 42, and limiting sliders 43. There are two limiting grooves 41, which are respectively opened on the front and rear side surfaces inside the placement frame 3. There are two placement plates 42, which are respectively arranged on the left and right side inside the placement frame 3. There are four limiting sliders 43, which are respectively fixedly connected to the front and rear side surfaces of the two placement plates 42. The four limiting sliders 43 extend into the limiting grooves 41 on both sides and are slidably connected to the limiting grooves 41. The control mechanism 5 is arranged between the two placement plates 42. Anti-slip pads 6 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of both placement plates 42.

[0033] Specifically, by setting up the support component 4, the sliding cooperation between the limiting groove 41 and the limiting slider 43 ensures that the placement plate 42 maintains a stable linear motion trajectory when adjusting the spacing, avoiding shaking. At the same time, the anti-slip pad 6 can prevent the seedling tray from sliding, ensuring the stability of the seedling tray placement.

[0034] Furthermore, the front ends of the support rod 523 are respectively fitted onto two fixed seats 522 and can rotate. When the support rod 523 tilts away from each other to the left and right, it pushes the two fixed seats 522 to move to the sides. The fixed seats 522 are fixed on the placement plate 42, which in turn drives the placement plates 42 on both sides to slide along the limiting groove 41 to the sides, increasing the distance and allowing the upper and lower seedling trays to be staggered.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] The third embodiment of this utility model provides a seedling rack for planting *Ilex asprella*. The control mechanism includes a drive component and a linkage component. The drive component is disposed between the two placement plates, and the linkage component is two in number, respectively disposed at the front and rear ends of the drive component.

[0037] The drive assembly includes a screw and a crank. The screw is disposed between the two placement plates and is rotatably connected to the placement frame at both its front and rear ends. The front end of the screw extends through the frame and is rotatably connected to the frame. The crank is fixedly connected to the front end of the screw.

[0038] The linkage component includes a movable seat, a fixed seat, and support rods. The movable seat is sleeved on the front end surface of the screw and threadedly connected to the screw. There are two fixed seats, which are respectively fixedly connected to the front ends of the two placement plates on the side surfaces that are close to each other. There are two support rods, and their rear ends are respectively sleeved on the left and right sides of the movable seat and rotatably connected to the movable seat. The front ends of the two support rods are inclined away from each other to the left and right sides and are respectively sleeved on the surfaces of the two fixed seats and rotatably connected to the two fixed seats.

[0039] The lower surface inside the mounting frame is fixedly connected to a slide rail, and the lower ends of the two movable seats are sleeved on the surface of the slide rail, and both are slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0040] Specifically, by setting up the control mechanism 5, the screw 511 and the moving seat 521 are connected by a threaded transmission and the strut 523, and the spacing of the two side placement plates 42 can be precisely controlled to achieve the staggered distribution of the upper and lower seedling trays. The operation is convenient and the adjustment accuracy is high.

[0041] Furthermore, by shaking the upper handle 512, the screw 511 is rotated. When the handle 512 is turned, the screw 511 rotates accordingly. Since the two movable seats 521 are threadedly connected to the screw 511 and their lower ends are sleeved on the slide rail 7 and can slide along the slide rail 7, the rotation of the screw 511 will drive the two movable seats 521 to move back and forth away from the screw 511. When the movable seats 521 move forward, the rear end of the support rod 523, which is rotatably connected to the movable seats 521, also moves forward. The front end of the support rod 523 is sleeved on the two fixed seats 522 and can rotate. In this way, the front end of the support rod 523 will tilt away from each other to the left and right, thereby pushing the two fixed seats 522 to move to both sides, causing the placement plates 42 on both sides to slide to both sides along the limiting slide groove 41, increasing the distance.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] The seedling trays are placed on the placement plate 42. Adjusting the distance between the two placement plates 42 to stagger the upper and lower seedling trays increases the spacing of the movable support device 2 on the lower layer of the frame 1. The screw 511 is rotated by shaking the upper handle 512. When the handle 512 is turned, the screw 511 rotates accordingly. Since the two movable seats 521 are threadedly connected to the screw 511, and their lower ends are fitted onto the slide rail 7 and can slide along the slide rail 7, the rotation of the screw 511 causes the two movable seats 521 to move back and forth away from the screw 511. When the movable seats 521 move forward, the rear end of the support rod 523, which is rotatably connected to the movable seats 521, also moves forward. The front ends of the support rods 523 are respectively fitted onto two fixed seats 522 and can rotate. Thus, the front ends of the support rods 523 tilt to the left and right sides. The two fixed seats 522 are moved to the sides by tilting away from each other. The fixed seats 522 are fixed on the placement plate 42, which in turn drives the placement plates 42 on both sides to slide along the limiting slide groove 41 to increase the distance. Then the distance between the upper movable support device 2 is increased by shaking the upper handle 512 in the opposite direction to rotate the screw 511 in the opposite direction. Since the two movable seats 521 are threadedly connected to the screw 511 and their lower ends are sleeved on the slide rail 7 and can slide along the slide rail 7, the reverse rotation of the screw 511 will drive the two movable seats 521 to move back and forth and closer on the screw 511. When the movable seats 521 move backward, the front end of the support rod 523 moves towards the middle, pulling the placement plate 42 to move towards the middle and reducing the distance. Finally, the distance between the two placement plates 42 on both sides is adjusted so that the seedling trays of the upper and lower layers can be staggered.

[0044] In summary, by using a combination of a frame, movable support device, placement frame, support assembly, limiting slide, placement plate, limiting slider, control mechanism, drive assembly, screw, crank, linkage assembly, moving seat, fixed seat, support rod, anti-slip pad, and slide rail, the spacing between placement plates can be flexibly adjusted, facilitating the staggered distribution of upper and lower seedling trays to improve lighting and growth space.
