Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tomato planting technology, and in particular to a tomato seed germination and seedling raising box. Background Technology

[0002] Seed germination and seedling cultivation in tomato planting refers to the process of promoting the rapid germination of tomato seeds and cultivating them into robust seedlings through artificial intervention. It is a key preparatory step before tomato planting, with the core objective of shortening seed germination time, increasing germination rate, and laying the foundation for subsequent transplanting to the field or greenhouse.

[0003] Conventional tomato seedling cultivation devices usually have ventilation holes at the bottom to prevent excessive moisture in the tomato seedling culture, which would affect the ventilation of the tomato seedling culture device and thus prevent the roots of the target tomato seedlings from rotting. However, this also reduces the water retention performance of the tomato seedling culture device.

[0004] The existing patent (publication number: CN212487533U) is a cultivation device for tomato seedlings. This utility model can extend the water retention time and better meet the needs of use.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patents have provided solutions. However, the containers used in some existing methods for germinating tomato seeds are inconvenient for removing the tomato seedlings that need to be transplanted after the seedlings have been cultivated. Most of them require the use of tools to dig them out or pull them out directly, which can easily damage the roots or the plant of the tomato seedlings and affect the survival rate of the tomato seedlings.

[0006] Therefore, a tomato seed germination and seedling raising box is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tomato seed germination and seedling raising box, which can solve the problem that some existing containers used for germinating and raising tomato seeds are inconvenient for removing tomato seedlings that need to be transplanted after the seedlings have been raised. Most of them require tools to dig them out or pull them out directly, which can easily damage the roots or plants of the tomato seedlings and affect the survival rate of the tomato seedlings.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tomato seed germination and seedling raising box, including a bottom plate, a frame provided on the top of the bottom plate, a plurality of protective plates fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame, a seedling raising mechanism provided on the top of the bottom plate, support mechanisms provided on both sides of the top of the bottom plate, and a fixing frame fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate.

[0009] The seedling raising mechanism includes several seedling holes, seedling trays, several top plates, and several top columns. The seedling holes are located inside the seedling trays. The surface of the top plate is in contact with the inner wall of the seedling hole. The top of the top column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate, and the bottom of the top column is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate.

[0010] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a pull ring, a top block, two sliders, and two sliding frames. The bottom of the sliding frame is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. The side of the slider near the top block is fixedly connected to the top block. The slider is slidably connected inside the sliding frame. The bottom of the top block is in movable contact with the top of the base plate.

[0011] Preferably, support blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the seedling tray, and the bottom of the support block is in contact with the top of the top block.

[0012] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected to both sides of the seedling tray, and a pull rod is fixedly connected between the opposite sides of the two fixing blocks.

[0013] Preferably, the surface of the top plate has four notches that are evenly distributed on the surface of the top plate.

[0014] Preferably, the fixed frame has several slots inside, which are evenly distributed inside the fixed frame.

[0015] Preferably, a limiting frame is fixedly fitted on the surface of the fixed frame, the bottom of the frame contacts the top of the limiting frame, a first handle is fixedly connected to both sides of the frame, and the protective plate is made of transparent acrylic.

[0016] Preferably, pads are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base plate, and second handles are fixedly connected to both sides of the base plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. This application sets up a seedling raising mechanism. The seedling hole carries the external nutrient soil and tomato seeds. The notch on the surface of the top plate can drain excess water to avoid root rot. When the tomato seedlings are transplanted after cultivation, the top block is moved to disengage from the support block. The seedling tray is pressed down. Because the top column connects the top plate and the bottom plate, the top plate will move upward in the seedling hole, pushing out the external nutrient soil and tomato seedlings together. No tools are needed or the seedlings can be pulled out directly, which effectively avoids seedling damage, improves the transplant survival rate, and solves the problem of easy damage when removing tomato seedlings.

[0019] 2. This application sets up a support mechanism, with the sliding frame fixed to the top of the base plate. The slider drives the top block to slide within the sliding frame. The top block contacts the support blocks on both sides of the seedling tray to achieve stable support. When transplanting, the top block is pulled to make the slider slide, and the top block disengages from the support block. In conjunction with the pull rod, the seedling tray is pressed down, providing structural conditions for the tomato seedlings to emerge. This ensures that the process of removing the tomato seedlings is smooth and convenient, and will not damage the tomato seedlings. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0029] A tomato seed germination and seedling raising box includes a base plate 1, a frame 3 on the top of the base plate 1, several protective plates 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 3, a seedling raising mechanism 8 on the top of the base plate 1, support mechanisms 9 on both sides of the top of the base plate 1, and a fixing frame 7 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1.

[0030] The seedling raising mechanism 8 includes several seedling holes 801, seedling trays 802, several top plates 803, and several top columns 804. The seedling holes 801 are opened inside the seedling trays 802. The surface of the top plate 803 is in contact with the inner wall of the seedling hole 801. The top of the top column 804 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 803, and the bottom of the top column 804 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate 1.

[0031] In this embodiment: by adding external nutrient soil into the seedling hole 801, sowing tomato seeds and watering, a basic environment is provided for tomato seed germination. The pad 6 at the bottom of the base plate 1 provides stable support for the whole. The second handle 5 facilitates the movement of the base plate 1, seedling tray 802, frame 3, and protective plate 2 to a place with suitable light. The transparent acrylic protective plate 2 on the inner wall of the frame 3 ensures light transmission. The frame 3 covers the top of the seedling tray 802, and its bottom contacts the limiting frame 14. The frame 3 and protective plate 2 form a protective cover for the tomato seeds and subsequent tomato seedlings. The first handle 4 facilitates the removal and placement of the frame 3. The notch 12 of the top plate 803 allows excess water in the seedling hole 801 to drain out through the groove 13 of the fixing frame 7. The groove 13 also ensures the inner... With proper ventilation, during transplanting, open frame 3, hold lever 10 to pull seedling tray 802, then pull top block 902 to make slider 903 slide within sliding frame 904, allowing top block 902 to disengage from support block 11. Press down on seedling tray 802, and top plate 803 at the top of top column 804 moves upward within seedling hole 801, simultaneously pushing out external nutrient soil and tomato seedlings. Tomato seedlings can then be directly removed for transplanting. This solves the problem that some existing containers used for germinating tomato seeds are inconvenient for removing tomato seedlings after seedling cultivation, often requiring tools to dig them out or pull them out directly, which can easily damage the roots or plants of tomato seedlings and affect the survival rate of subsequent tomato seedlings.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support mechanism 9 includes a pull ring 901, a top block 902, two sliders 903 and two sliding frames 904. The bottom of the sliding frame 904 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. The side of the slider 903 near the top block 902 is fixedly connected to the top block 902. The slider 903 is slidably connected inside the sliding frame 904. The bottom of the top block 902 is in movable contact with the top of the base plate 1.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, support blocks 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the seedling tray 802, and the bottom of the support block 11 is in contact with the top of the top block 902.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, both sides of the seedling tray 802 are fixedly connected to fixing blocks 15, and a pull rod 10 is fixedly connected between the opposite sides of the two fixing blocks 15.

[0035] In this embodiment: In the support mechanism 9, by pulling the pull ring 901, the slider 903 slides within the sliding frame 904 to adjust the position of the top block 902. The top block 902 and the support block 11 work together to stably support the seedling tray 802. The pull rod 10 is connected to the seedling tray 802 through the fixing block 15, which facilitates the hand operation of moving the seedling tray 802 up and down. Furthermore, the support can be released by pulling the top block 902, which, together with the seedling mechanism 8, enables the seedlings to be pushed out without damage, thereby improving the survival rate of tomato seedlings after transplanting.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the top plate 803 has four notches 12, which are evenly distributed on the surface of the top plate 803.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fixed frame 7 has several slots 13 inside, which are evenly distributed inside the fixed frame 7.

[0038] In this embodiment: the notch 12 of the top plate 803 can drain excess water in the seedling hole 801 in time, avoiding tomato seeds from rotting and tomato seedlings from root rot. The slot 13 of the fixing frame 7 can drain accumulated water and ensure air circulation inside the protective cover formed by the frame 3 and the protective plate 2, providing sufficient oxygen for tomato seeds and tomato seedlings and optimizing the growth environment.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a limiting frame 14 is fixedly fitted on the surface of the fixed frame 7, the bottom of the frame 3 contacts the top of the limiting frame 14, and the first handle 4 is fixedly connected to both sides of the frame 3. The protective plate 2 is made of transparent acrylic.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, pads 6 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base plate 1, and second handles 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the base plate 1.

[0041] In this embodiment: the limiting frame 14 ensures that the frame 3 fits precisely, the transparent acrylic protective plate 2 ensures light transmission, the first handle 4 facilitates the removal and placement of the frame 3, enhances the protection and light exposure effect, the pad block 6 provides stable support for the base plate 1, and the second handle 5 facilitates the movement of the base plate 1, the seedling tray 802, the protective plate 2 and the frame 3, improving the flexibility and stability of use.

[0042] Working principle: External nutrient soil is added inside the seedling hole 801, tomato seeds are sown, and water is applied to provide a basic environment for seed germination. The pads 6 at the four corners of the bottom plate 1 provide stable support. The second handle 5 allows for easy handling, moving the bottom plate 1 and seedling tray 802 to a suitable location with adequate light for seedling cultivation. Several protective plates 2 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 3. These protective plates 2 are made of transparent acrylic material, ensuring good light transmission and meeting the light requirements during seedling cultivation. The frame 3 is placed on top of the seedling tray 802, ensuring that the bottom of the frame 3 contacts the top of the limiting frame 14 fixedly fitted onto the surface of the fixed frame 7. The limiting frame 14 limits the frame 3, ensuring that the frame 3 accurately covers the seedling tray 802, thus protecting the seedling tray 802 and reducing interference from the external environment during the seedling process. Four evenly distributed notches 12 are provided on the surface of the top plate 803. When there is excess water in the seedling holes 801 after watering, the notches 12 facilitate the drainage of excess water, preventing water accumulation from affecting tomato seed germination and subsequent root rot in tomato seedlings. After flowing out through the notches 12, the water enters the fixing frame 7. The fixing frame 7 has several evenly distributed slots 13 inside, allowing water to drain out. Simultaneously, the slots 13 also ensure that the internal space of the protective plate 2 is kept separate from the external environment. The air circulation provides sufficient oxygen for the seeds and seedlings. After the tomato seeds germinate and grow into tomato seedlings, when it is necessary to take out the tomato seedlings for transplanting, first hold the first handle 4 and pull it upward to open the protective cover formed by the protective plate 2 and the frame 3. Hold the pull rod 10 to hold the seedling tray 802 with a pulling force, and then pull the two top blocks 902 to opposite sides through the pull ring 901. At this time, the slider 903 slides in the sliding frame 904, so that the top block 902 is separated from the support block 11. Then hold the pull rod 10 and press the seedling tray 802 downward. Since the top of the top column 804 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 803, the bottom of the top column 804 is fixed to the bottom plate 1. When the top of the seedling tray 802 is pressed down, the top plate 803 moves upward inside the seedling hole 801, thereby pushing out the external nutrient soil and tomato seedlings inside the seedling hole 801. This allows the tomato seedlings to be directly removed for transplanting, avoiding damage to the seedlings caused by digging or pulling them out with tools. This effectively improves the transplant survival rate and solves the problem that some existing containers used for germinating tomato seeds are inconvenient for removing tomato seedlings that need to be transplanted after seedling cultivation. Most of them require digging or pulling out with tools, which can easily damage the roots or plants of the tomato seedlings and affect the subsequent survival rate of tomato seedlings.

[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
