[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses an agricultural soilless seedling box. The technical solution includes a box body 1, with opposite sides of the box body 1 fixedly connected to both ends of a partition 2. A control module 3 is fixedly installed on the side of the box body 1. A liquid storage box 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body 1 and the top of the partition 2. A cover plate 5 is placed on the top of the liquid storage box 4. Handle grooves 11 are opened at both ends of the top of the cover plate 5. The handle grooves 11 at both ends of the cover plate 5 facilitate the operator to pick up and put down the cover plate 5, which is convenient for the management and maintenance of the seedling box 6. A positioning ring 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cover plate 5, and the positioning ring 12 is sleeved on the liquid storage box. The outer side of the box 4 is fitted with a positioning ring 12 to the outer side of the liquid storage box 4, which can effectively prevent the cover plate 5 from shifting and ensure the stability of the seedling bucket 6. The seedling bucket 6 is placed in the groove at the top of the cover plate 5. There are several seedling buckets 6. The side of the lower end of the seedling bucket 6 is provided with a liquid inlet groove 9. The bottom of the box 1 is equipped with a liquid replenishment mechanism 7. The top of the partition plate 2 and the top inside the box 1 are both fixedly installed with supplementary lights 13. The supplementary lights 13 are electrically connected to the control module 3. The supplementary lights 13 can provide suitable light conditions according to the growth needs of different crop seedlings, make up for the lack of natural light, and promote the photosynthesis of seedlings.

[0022] The fluid replenishment mechanism 7 includes an infusion tube 71, a dispensing tube 72, a storage tank 73, and an infusion pump 74. The storage tank 73 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank body 1. The outlet on the side of the storage tank 73 is connected to one end of the infusion tube 71, and the other end of the infusion tube 71 is connected to the inlet on the side of the storage box 4 on the partition 2. The two ends of the dispensing tube 72 are connected to the inlet on the side of the storage box 4 on the tank body 1 and the outlet on the infusion tube 71, respectively. The infusion pump 74 is installed on the infusion tube 71 and is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank body 1. A liquid level sensor 10 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage box 4. A stirring mechanism 8 is installed on the liquid tank 73. The liquid inlet on the side of the liquid tank 73 is connected to one end of the feed pipe 14. The feed pipe 14 is L-shaped, and a feed hopper 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the feed pipe 14. Through the linkage between the control module 3, the liquid level sensor 10, and the infusion pump 74, when the liquid level sensor 10 detects that the nutrient solution in the liquid storage box 4 is insufficient, the control module 3 can start the infusion pump 74 in time to replenish the nutrient solution to the liquid storage box 4 through the infusion pipe 71 and the dispensing pipe 72. This eliminates the need for frequent manual operation, greatly reduces labor intensity, and ensures the timeliness and accuracy of nutrient solution replenishment.

[0023] The stirring mechanism 8 includes a motor 81, a rotating plate 82, and a stirring plate 83. The motor 81 is fixedly installed in a groove at the bottom of the storage tank 73. The output shaft of the motor 81 passes through a through hole at the bottom of the storage tank 73 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the middle part of the rotating plate 82. Stirring plates 83 are fixedly installed at the bottom of both ends of the rotating plate 82. The stirring plates 83 are hollow. The infusion pump 74, the motor 81, and the liquid level sensor 10 are electrically connected to the control module 3. By driving the rotating plate 82 and the hollow stirring plate 83 to rotate, the nutrient solution in the storage tank 73 can be fully stirred to avoid nutrient precipitation and keep the concentration of the nutrient solution uniform. This provides a stable growth environment for the seedlings and helps to improve the survival rate and growth uniformity of the seedlings.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Prepared nutrient solution is added to the storage tank 73 via the L-shaped feed pipe 14 connected to the side of the storage tank 73 and the feed hopper 15 at the top. At this time, the control module 3 can activate the stirring mechanism 8. The motor 81 drives the rotating plate 82 to rotate, causing the hollowed-out stirring plates 83 at both ends to rotate within the storage tank 73, thoroughly stirring the nutrient solution to prevent nutrient sedimentation and ensure uniform nutrient solution concentration. The seedling bucket 6, containing seedling substrate and seeds, is placed in the groove at the top of the cover plate 5. The cover plate 5 is fitted onto the outside of the storage box 4 via the positioning ring 12 at the bottom, ensuring stable positioning. The inlet groove 9 on the lower side of the seedling bucket 6 allows the nutrient solution from the storage box 4 to enter the bucket, providing nutrients for seedling growth.

[0025] When the nutrient solution in the storage tank 4 decreases, and the level sensor 10 detects that the level is below the set value, it transmits a signal to the control module 3. The control module 3 then starts the infusion pump 74 in the replenishment mechanism 7. The nutrient solution in the storage tank 73 is delivered through the infusion tube 71, with part of it going directly into the storage tank 4 on the partition 2, and the other part flowing into the storage tank 4 at the bottom of the tank body 1 through the distribution tube 72, thus realizing automatic replenishment of each storage tank 4. When the level sensor 10 detects that the nutrient solution has reached the set level, it sends a signal back to the control module 3, and the control module 3 shuts down the infusion pump 74 to stop replenishment.

[0026] Operators can adjust the on-time and brightness of the supplemental lighting 13 according to the growth needs of different crop seedlings through the control module 3, providing suitable light conditions for the seedlings, promoting photosynthesis, and ensuring healthy seedling growth. The entire process requires no frequent manual intervention, is highly automated, and can provide a stable and suitable environment for seedling growth, effectively improving seedling efficiency and quality.
