Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice seedling tray technology, and in particular to a detachable rice seedling tray. Background Technology

[0002] Rice seedling trays are agricultural tools specifically designed for rice seedling cultivation. They are intended to provide suitable environmental and structural support to help rice seeds germinate and grow into healthy seedlings. They are typically made of water- and corrosion-resistant materials such as plastic or stainless steel. Modern seedling tray designs place greater emphasis on optimizing water management, improving seedling quality, increasing efficiency, and significantly reducing human intervention. They are widely used in large-scale rice production and seedling cultivation and are an indispensable piece of equipment in the rice planting process.

[0003] Existing rice seedling trays still have some problems during use. For example, most current rice seedling trays adopt an integrated design, meaning that the seedling tray and the nutrient solution storage tray cannot be separated. This design makes it inconvenient to remove the seedlings after cultivation and also makes it difficult to clean the nutrient solution storage tray, resulting in residues or contamination, which affects subsequent seedling cultivation and the sanitary conditions for cultivating new seedlings. In addition, due to the lack of a separate design, existing seedling trays are prone to seedling accumulation in the tray, with roots intertwined, increasing the risk of root entanglement. This situation makes it difficult for seedlings to absorb nutrient solution evenly, thus affecting the growth and cultivation effect of rice seedlings.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a detachable rice seedling tray. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing technology has the disadvantages of integrated design affecting the cultivation and removal of rice seedlings, and the roots are easy to get tangled due to the integrated design. To this end, we propose a separate rice seedling tray.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a detachable rice seedling tray, comprising a nutrient tray, wherein a cultivation tray is disposed within the inner cavity of the nutrient tray, and protruding plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the cultivation tray; a separation component is disposed at the bottom of the protruding plates, the separation component comprising abutment blocks slidably connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the protruding plates, a first inclined block fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the abutment block, insertion blocks slidably connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the nutrient tray, and a second inclined block fixedly connected to the top side of the insertion blocks, the separation component being used to separate and combine the nutrient tray and the cultivation tray; a guiding component is disposed within the inner cavity of the cultivation tray, the guiding component comprising a seedling trough opened in the inner cavity of the cultivation tray, a corrugated guide plate fixedly connected to the periphery of the inner cavity of the seedling trough, and holes opened at the bottom of the seedling trough, the guiding component being used to guide the rice roots and stems.

[0007] Preferably, one side of the nutrient tray is connected to an inlet pipe, the surface of the inlet pipe is connected to a separation pipe, one end of the separation pipe is connected to one side of the nutrient tray, and a first valve is installed on the surface of the inlet pipe.

[0008] Preferably, a drain pipe is connected to one side of the nutrient tray, and a second valve is installed on the surface of the drain pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the nutrient tray is provided with a guide slope, and the top of the guide slope is fixedly connected to a support base around its perimeter, with the top of the support base contacting one side of the bottom of the nutrient tray.

[0010] Preferably, the nutrient tray has mounting slots on all four sides of its inner cavity, and a spring is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting slot, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to one side of the mounting block.

[0011] Preferably, slots are provided on both sides of the cultivation tray, the inner cavity of the slot extends into the installation port, and the surface of the insertion block is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the slot.

[0012] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the protruding plate, and the handle is used to place and remove the cultivation tray.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model utilizes a linkage structure between the inclined block and the insertion block to enable the cultivation tray and nutrient tray to quickly separate and merge, facilitating mechanized seedling removal and thorough cleaning, effectively preventing residual substrate blockage. Simultaneously, the corrugated guide plate and bottom holes in the seedling trough work together to guide the roots to extend naturally downwards, forming a loose root ball, reducing root entanglement and enhancing aeration, significantly reducing the root damage rate during transplanting. Furthermore, the valve control system of the inlet and outlet pipes, combined with the guiding inclined surface in the nutrient tray, ensures that the nutrient solution evenly covers the root system of each seedling, achieving precise water and fertilizer management and improving resource utilization.

[0015] 2. This utility model ensures the stable engagement of the seedling tray during seedling cultivation through the cooperation structure of the insert block and spring. When separating, it automatically unlocks by sliding the inclined block, making operation labor-saving and highly reliable. The support base and guide inclined surface not only provide uniform support for the seedling tray, but also optimize the flow path of nutrient solution and reduce manual intervention. The whole is made of lightweight and corrosion-resistant material, which is durable and reusable to reduce production costs. Combined with the ergonomic optimization of the top handle design, this seedling tray improves the standardization of seedling cultivation and provides an efficient and reliable solution for large-scale, mechanized rice planting.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model is a detachable rice seedling tray, including a nutrient tray 1 for storing nutrient solution, which can cultivate the roots of seedlings through the internal nutrient solution. A cultivation tray 2 is set inside the nutrient tray 1. The cultivation tray 2 is divided into multiple areas by a seedling trough 8 for independent cultivation of each individual seedling, reducing root entanglement. Protruding plates 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the cultivation tray 2. The protruding plates 3 are used to engage the cultivation tray and facilitate the removal and placement of the cultivation tray. A separation component is set at the bottom of the protruding plates 3, including abutment blocks 4 slidably connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the protruding plates 3. Pushing the abutment blocks 4 causes a first inclined block 5 to press against a second inclined block 7, thereby pulling the insertion block 6 and separating it from the slot 20 of the cultivation tray 2, thus separating the cultivation tray 2 from the nutrient tray 1. The first inclined block 5, fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the abutment block 4, slides... Insert blocks 6 are connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the nutrient tray 1. The top of one side of the insert block 6 is inclined, so that when the cultivation tray 2 is inserted into the nutrient tray 1, the insert block 6 is inserted into the slot 20 by the spring 19 to fix the cultivation tray 2. A second inclined block 7 is fixedly connected to the top side of the insert block 6. The separation component is used to separate the nutrient tray 1 and the cultivation tray 2. The inner cavity of the cultivation tray 2 is provided with a guide component, which includes seedling troughs 8 opened in the inner cavity of the cultivation tray 2. Each seedling trough 8 can hold one seedling, so that the seedlings can be cultivated independently. Corrugated guide plates 9 are fixedly connected to the periphery of the inner cavity of the seedling trough 8, and holes 10 are opened at the bottom of the seedling trough 8. The corrugated guide plates 9 can guide the roots downward by their own characteristics in conjunction with the holes 10, which can reduce root entanglement, allow the roots to absorb nutrients, and facilitate removal after cultivation. The guide component is used to guide the rice roots and stems.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5Based on Example 1, a nutrient tray 1 has an inlet pipe 11 connected to one side, and a separation pipe 12 connected to the surface of the inlet pipe 11. The inlet pipe 11 can introduce external nutrient solution into the nutrient tray 1 through the separation pipe 12, and multiple separation pipes 12 are distributed on one side of the nutrient tray 1 to ensure even distribution of the nutrient solution. One end of the separation pipe 12 is connected to one side of the nutrient tray 1, and a first valve 13 is installed on the surface of the inlet pipe 11. A drain pipe 14 is connected to one side of the nutrient tray 1, which can periodically or after seedling cultivation to drain the used nutrient solution. A second valve 15 is installed on the surface of the drain pipe 14. A guide slope 16 is provided at the bottom of the nutrient tray 1, which slopes from the inlet pipe 11 end to the drain pipe 14 end, so that the introduced nutrient solution can be guided and quickly drained to the bottom of each seedling trough 8. Support bases 17 are fixedly connected to the top of the nutrient tray 16. The support bases 17 support the culture tray 2. The top of the support base 17 contacts the bottom side of the culture tray 2. The inner cavity of the nutrient tray 1 is provided with mounting slots 18. The mounting slots 18 facilitate the insertion of the abutment block 4 into the nutrient tray 1, which can position the culture tray 2 and release the restriction of the culture tray 2 when it is removed later. A spring 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the mounting slot 18. One end of the spring 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the insert block 6. Slots 20 are provided on both sides of the culture tray 2. The slots 20 allow the insert block 6 to slide and fix the culture tray. The inner cavity of the slot 20 extends into the inner cavity of the mounting slot 18. The surface of the insert block 6 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the slot 20. A handle 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the protruding plate 3. The handle 21 is used to put in and take out the culture tray 2.

[0028] Working principle: First, the cultivation tray 2 is pressed down into the inner cavity of the nutrient tray 1 using the handle 21. At this time, the second inclined block 7 at the top of the insertion block 6 is squeezed by the cultivation tray 2, pushing the insertion block 6 to slide into the installation slot 18 and compressing the spring 19. When the cultivation tray 2 is fully embedded, the spring 19 rebounds, causing the insertion block 6 to lock into the slot 20, completing the fixation. During the seedling stage, the nutrient solution is injected into the nutrient tray 1 through the inlet pipe 11 and the separation pipe 12, and then evenly distributed to the bottom of each seedling trough 8 via the guide inclined surface 16. The board 9 guides the roots to extend downwards along the holes 10 to avoid tangling. When it is time to remove the seedlings, push the abutment blocks 4 on both sides of the protruding board 3. The first inclined block 5 squeezes the second inclined block 7 to make the insertion block 6 disengage from the slot 20. Then, pull the handle 21 to remove the cultivation tray 2. The seedlings are transplanted with loose root balls. The residual nutrient solution is discharged through the drainage pipe 14. The guide slope 16 and the support seat 17 ensure that there is no liquid accumulation in the tray, which is convenient for cleaning and reuse. The whole process realizes efficient and mechanized operation of seedling cultivation, seedling separation and cleaning.

[0029] 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.
