Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sweet potato planting devices, and in particular relates to a sweet potato seedling box. Background Technology

[0002] In sweet potato cultivation, the seedling stage has a crucial impact on subsequent yield and quality. Traditional sweet potato seedling cultivation mostly uses open-air seedbeds or simple greenhouses, which are greatly affected by the natural environment and have many drawbacks. For example, spring temperatures fluctuate greatly; open-air seedling cultivation is prone to slow germination and uneven emergence due to low temperatures, while high temperatures may cause seedlings to grow excessively tall or develop diseases. At the same time, traditional seedbeds rely entirely on manual watering for moisture retention, resulting in low precision in water control. Too dry a bed will affect root development, while too wet a bed will easily breed mold, leading to seed and seedling rot. In addition, open-air seedling cultivation also faces problems such as weed infestation and pest infestation, requiring frequent manual intervention, which not only increases labor intensity but also makes it difficult to guarantee seedling efficiency and seedling quality, making it particularly unsuitable for large-scale, intensive planting.

[0003] While existing seedling boxes have improved upon the shortcomings of traditional seedling cultivation to some extent, they still have functional limitations. Most seedling boxes only possess basic heat preservation or moisture retention functions, lacking the ability to precisely control the seedling environment. They cannot dynamically adjust temperature, humidity, and light according to the different growth stages of sweet potato seedlings. Some seedling boxes have unreasonable structural designs, resulting in low space utilization, limited seedling growth space, and poor ventilation, easily leading to localized overheating and increasing the risk of disease. Furthermore, existing seedling boxes are mostly fixed structures, inconvenient to move, and difficult to clean and maintain. After long-term use, residual pathogens inside the box can easily affect the seedling yield of the next season. These problems make existing seedling equipment unable to meet the actual needs of efficient sweet potato seedling cultivation, necessitating a specialized seedling box that can comprehensively optimize the seedling environment and improve operational convenience. Therefore, we propose a sweet potato planting seedling box. Utility Model Content

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Figure 8 This application will be described in further detail.

[0035] In this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "middle," "vertical," and "horizontal," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] This embodiment provides a sweet potato seedling tray, including:

[0038] Box 1 has a front opening and a hollow interior. A door 2 is rotatably installed on the front of box 1 via a hinge. Multiple evenly distributed partitions 3 are fixedly installed in the inner cavity of box 1. A control box 4 is fixed to the inner wall of box 1 directly above each partition 3. Air inlets 6 are symmetrically opened on the left and right inner walls of box 1. An exhaust port 7 is opened on the top of box 1.

[0039] Temperature control mechanism, which is located inside air inlet 6, is used to regulate the temperature inside the chamber 1.

[0040] The humidification mechanism is installed inside the cabinet 1 and is used to replenish water and humidify the inner cavity of the cabinet 1.

[0041] Multiple supplemental lighting components are evenly arranged directly below each control box 4 and are used to provide supplemental lighting for the seedlings on each partition 3.

[0042] Sweet potato seedlings can be planted in pots. The planting pots are evenly placed on the upper surface of the partition 3. The airflow generated in the temperature control mechanism can be evenly distributed to the inner cavity of the box 1 through the groove 5.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] This embodiment provides a sweet potato seedling cultivation box, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features, including a temperature control mechanism:

[0045] A fixed frame 8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the housing 1 near the air inlet 6. A fan 9 is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame 8. An air heater 10 is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame 8 and located inside the fan 9. A protective net 11 is fixedly installed at the outer opening of the fixed frame 8.

[0046] When it is necessary to raise the temperature of the air inside the chamber 1, the air electric heater 10 is activated to heat the surrounding air. Then, the fan 9 is activated, and the fan 9 draws outside air into the inner cavity of the chamber 1 through the fixed frame 8. During this process, the air is continuously heated by the air electric heater 10, so that the air entering the chamber 1 has a higher temperature, thereby raising the temperature of the chamber 1. When it is necessary to cool down the inside of the chamber 1, the fan 9 can be activated alone to replace the air in the inner cavity of the chamber 1 by utilizing the air flow, so that the inner cavity of the chamber 1 is maintained at a stable temperature. Furthermore, in order to avoid the outside environment being too high and unable to achieve a low temperature inside the chamber 1 by using the fan 9, a cooling mechanism can be installed on the outside of the fan 9. The cooling mechanism can use air cooling to cool the passing air, and then the fan 9 draws the cooler air into the inner cavity of the chamber 1. This is prior art, which should be well known to those skilled in the art, and this application will not elaborate on it further.

[0047] By setting a temperature control mechanism, the temperature inside the box 1 can be conveniently adjusted, which solves the problem that traditional devices cannot freely control the temperature when cultivating sweet potato seedlings due to open cultivation. The temperature inside the box 1 is suitable for the growth needs of sweet potato seedlings and is conducive to their growth.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] This embodiment provides a sweet potato seedling box, which, in addition to the technical solution of the above embodiment, also has the following technical features: a grid 12 is fixedly installed inside the exhaust port 7, and a plurality of evenly distributed exhaust holes 13 are opened on the grid 12, and the cross-section of the exhaust holes 13 has a π-shaped structure.

[0050] The vent 13 can be fixedly installed inside the vent 7 with bolts, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 The structure of the exhaust port 13 allows airflow to pass through while effectively preventing impurities such as fallen leaves from falling into the inner cavity of the box 1.

[0051] Example 4:

[0052] This embodiment provides a sweet potato seedling tray, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features, including a humidification mechanism:

[0053] Water tank 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the tank body 1. Water pump 15 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of water tank 14. Water supply pipe 16 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tank body 1. The inlet end of water supply pipe 16 is connected to the output end of water pump 15. Diversion pipe 17 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of control box 4. Multiple outlet ends of water supply pipe 16 are respectively connected to multiple diversion pipes 17 in control box 4. Atomizing nozzles 18 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of multiple branch pipes of diversion pipe 17 in a uniformly distributed manner.

[0054] When it is necessary to replenish water for the sweet potato seedlings on the multiple partitions 3 inside the box 1 and to humidify the environment inside the box 1, the water pump 15 is started. The water pump 15 draws water from the water tank 14 into the water supply pipe 16, and the water supply pipe 16 then delivers the water to the distribution pipes 17 in each control box 4. The water is then sprayed downwards through the atomizing nozzle 18 to form mist-like water droplets, thereby realizing the water replenishment and humidification operation for the sweet potato seedlings.

[0055] By setting up a humidification mechanism, the sweet potato seedlings inside the chamber 1 can be conveniently humidified. The multiple sets of atomizing nozzles 18 operate evenly during humidification, solving the inconvenience and unevenness of manual humidification required by traditional devices, and effectively improving the survival rate of sweet potato seedlings.

[0056] Example 5:

[0057] This embodiment provides a sweet potato seedling box. In addition to the technical solution of the above embodiment, it also has the following technical features: the lower surface of the control box 4 is provided with a plurality of through slots 19 that can accommodate the passage of atomizing nozzles 18; the lower surface of the control box 4 and between two adjacent through slots 19 are provided with an installation slot 20; and a supplementary light 21 is fixedly installed in the installation slot 20.

[0058] The supplementary lighting component consists of multiple supplementary lights 21 and an intelligent lighting control module that integrates the control of the supplementary lights 21. The supplementary lights 21 adopt a sealed design, which can effectively reduce the possibility of water droplets generated by the atomizing nozzle 18 causing short circuits to the supplementary lights 21 during operation. A soft light panel can be installed on the lower surface of the supplementary lights 21 so that the light emitted by the supplementary lights 21 is uniform and soft, which is conducive to the light needs of sweet potato seedlings during growth.

[0059] The sweet potato seedlings inside the box 1 are illuminated by the light generated by the supplemental light lamp 21 when it is working.

[0060] Example 6:

[0061] This embodiment provides a sweet potato seedling box. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: a water supply pipe 22 is fixedly installed on the upper edge of the side wall of the water tank 14, and one end of the water supply pipe 22 penetrates the inner wall of the box body 1 and extends to the outside. A valve is fixedly installed on the water supply pipe 22.

[0062] When the water in the water tank 14 is insufficient, the operator can add water to the water tank 14 through the water supply pipe 22. When adding water, the valve on the water supply pipe 22 can be opened. After adding water, the valve can be tightened. The water tank 14 can be supported by a high-transparency acrylic sheet, which makes it easy for the operator to observe the water level inside the water tank 14.

[0063] By setting up a water supply pipe 22, it is easy to observe the water level inside the water tank 14.

[0064] Example 7:

[0065] This embodiment provides a sweet potato seedling box, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features: a water receiving tray 23 is slidably installed on the upper surface of the water tank 14.

[0066] When humidifying the inner cavity of the box 1, a very small amount of water droplets will fall into the water receiving tray 23 under the action of gravity.

[0067] By setting up a water collection tray 23, excess water droplets during the humidification process can be collected, ensuring the cleanliness of the internal environment of the cabinet 1.

[0068] Example 8:

The control panel 24 is electrically connected to the temperature and humidity sensor 25 and the light sensor 26.

[0070] The operator can adjust the temperature, humidity, and lighting inside the enclosure 1 via the control panel 24. Notably, the control panel 24 is equipped with a wireless control module and a PLC module, enabling wireless control of the fan 9, air heater 10, and water pump 15. The control panel 24 features corresponding start / stop switches and a touchscreen. It monitors the temperature, humidity, and lighting inside the enclosure 1 in real time. Temperature, humidity, and lighting data are collected by the internal temperature and humidity sensor 25 and light sensor 26, and then transmitted to the control panel 24 for display. The control panel 24 has temperature and humidity control zones and lighting setting zones. The operation and shutdown of the fan 9, air heater 10, and water pump 15 can be controlled via the PLC module and wireless control module, thereby adjusting the temperature and humidity inside the enclosure 1. Furthermore, the lighting data collected by the light sensor 26 can be used to adjust the temperature and humidity. The illumination of multiple supplementary lights 21 is adjusted to ensure that the ecological environment inside the box 1 remains stable within a suitable growth range for sweet potato seedlings. For example, the communication method can be a frequency-modulated industrial-grade wireless data transmission radio, which has strong anti-interference ability and long coverage distance. The fan 9, air heater 10 and water pump 15 can be equipped with slave units, and the multiple supplementary lights 21 can be equipped with an intelligent lighting control module. The control panel 24 acts as the master unit for control. The temperature and humidity sensor 25 and the light sensor 26 collect data and transmit it to the control panel 24. The wireless control module and the PCL module are used to send commands to the slave units, thereby realizing the start and stop of the fan 9, air heater 10 and water pump 15 and the adjustment of the illumination intensity of the multiple supplementary lights 21. The electrical connection method and software driving process of the wireless control module and the PCL module are existing technologies, and those skilled in the art can implement them based on existing technologies. This application will not elaborate on them further.
