Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of seedling equipment, specifically a controllable seedling box for raspberry seedling cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Raspberries have high utilization value, and their artificial cultivation is becoming increasingly common. However, during artificial cultivation, raspberry seedlings are sensitive to environmental conditions, especially regarding substrate humidity, air humidity, root zone temperature, and light. The current methods of raspberry seedling cultivation suffer from the difficulty in economically, stably, and easily maintaining suitable substrate temperature and humidity in the root zone (especially preventing waterlogging and root rot), sufficient air humidity (preventing leaf scorch), and providing basic light. Most existing raspberry seedling cultivation methods are carried out in greenhouses / compartments, which involve large control areas, high energy consumption, and complex equipment. This approach is not economical or flexible enough for small-scale seedling cultivation or precise control of the seedling root zone environment. Ordinary seedling trays lack environmental control capabilities; humidity and temperature are dependent on external environmental conditions and unstable, especially during unpredictable weather, easily leading to seedling wilting or etiolation. Therefore, there is a need to design a seedling tray that can control waterlogging at the bottom of raspberry seedlings to prevent root rot and can promptly control temperature, humidity, and supplement light. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above technical problems, this utility model provides a seedling box that can control water accumulation at the bottom of raspberry seedlings to prevent root rot and can timely control temperature, humidity and supplement light, thus solving the problem that existing seedling boxes rely on uncontrollable external environments for water and light.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a controllable seedling box for raspberry seedling cultivation, comprising a seedling box, wherein the seedling box is arranged from top to bottom as a seedling chamber and a water tank, a door is provided on one side of the seedling chamber, and the door and the opposite side are made transparent, a water inlet is provided on one side of the water tank and a water outlet is provided at the bottom, the water tank and the seedling chamber are separated by a partition, the partition is detachably connected to the inner wall of the seedling box by a boss, and the partition has evenly distributed ventilation holes and a fixed top. A tray is fixedly connected to the water tank. The bottom of the tray is set with a continuous "V" shaped groove. A ridge is set between two "V" shaped grooves. An electric heating element is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the ridge. A layer of guide cloth is laid on the upper surface of the "V" shaped groove. The guide cloth extends into the water tank through the side wall of the tray and the vent hole on both sides. A permeable seedling tray is detachably connected above the tray. The permeable seedling tray is composed of several square seedling tubes. A lamp tube is fixedly connected to the top of the seedling box and vent holes are symmetrically opened on both sides.

[0005] Furthermore, a "Y"-shaped guide cloth strip is uniformly and fixedly connected to the middle of the guide cloth. The upper end of the "Y"-shaped guide cloth strip passes through the wall of the "V"-shaped groove and is fixedly connected to the guide cloth, while the lower end passes through the vent hole and extends into the water tank.

[0006] Furthermore, holes for water vapor to pass through are provided on both sides of the "V"-shaped groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the permeable seedling tray has protrusions on both sides, the protrusions contacting the upper edge of the tray, and a certain gap is left between the bottom of the square seedling bucket and the guide cloth.

[0008] Furthermore, the square cavity bucket has a breathing port on each of its two side walls and a drain outlet at the bottom.

[0009] Furthermore, a temperature probe is installed between the square cavity barrels, and the temperature probe is connected to an external display. The electric heating element and the lamp tube are both electrically connected to an external power source.

[0010] Furthermore, an observation port is provided on one side wall of the water tank.

[0011] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0012] 1. This utility model, by setting up a guide cloth and having both ends of the guide cloth inserted into the water tank, can wet the guide cloth through capillary action, thereby continuously delivering water into the substrate, avoiding excessive water accumulation at the bottom that could cause seedling root rot. By setting up lamp tubes, the seedlings can be provided with continuous light. By setting up ventilation holes on the partition, the water in the water tank can evaporate upwards, ensuring the humidity in the seedling box.

[0013] 2. By setting a "Y"-shaped guide cloth strip, this utility model can make the guide cloth more evenly wetted, and by setting air vents, it can keep the inside of the seedling box breathable and ventilated, thus improving the seedling effect. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4The controllable seedling tray for raspberry seedling cultivation shown includes a seedling tray 1. To prevent the bottom of the substrate from being directly immersed in water, the seedling tray 1 is arranged from top to bottom as a seedling chamber 3 and a water tank 2. For easy access, a door 15 is provided on one side of the seedling chamber 3. The door 15 is a sealed door with a built-in lock. To allow the seedlings inside to receive natural light, the door 15 and the opposite side are made transparent, allowing sunlight to pass through when there is sufficient light. To facilitate adding water to the water tank and removing excess water, a water inlet 14 is provided on one side of the water tank 2, and a water outlet is provided at the bottom. The water tank 2 and the seedling chamber 3 are separated by a partition 4. The boss is detachably connected to the inner wall of the seedling box 1. The boss is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the seedling box 1. The bottom of the partition 4 is placed on top of the boss, achieving a detachable connection, which facilitates the removal of seedlings above the partition 4. To facilitate water and air circulation, evenly distributed ventilation holes 5 are opened on the partition 4. After the water vapor in the water tank 2 evaporates, it can enter the seedling chamber 3 above through the ventilation holes 5. To ensure that water does not accumulate under the seedlings and allows for ventilation, a tray 6 is fixedly connected above the partition 4. To prevent water accumulation and provide sufficient ventilation space, the bottom of the tray 6 is designed with continuous "V"-shaped grooves 7, and holes are opened at the lowest point of the bottom of the "V"-shaped grooves 7 to facilitate the accumulation of water above. Water flows into the lower water tank 2. To support the permeable seedling tray 10, a ridge is set between the two "V"-shaped grooves 7. The width of the ridge is slightly wider than the bottom of the square seedling container 11. To ensure that the temperature of the substrate around the seedling roots is not too low, an electric heating element 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the ridge. Each electric heating element 8 is connected to the external main power supply via an electrical connection. To continuously supply water to the seedlings and prevent water accumulation at the bottom, a layer of guide cloth 9 is laid on the upper surface of the "V"-shaped groove 7. The guide cloth 9 is laid along the shape of the "V"-shaped groove 7. The guide cloth is a hydrophilic non-woven fabric or cotton-linen blend fabric, which continuously transports water upward through capillary action to moisten the upper layer. At the bottom of the square seedling tray 11, in order to absorb water from the water tank 2, the guide cloth 9 extends into the water tank 2 through the side wall of the tray 6 and the vent 5 on both sides. The guide cloth 9 is made of evenly distributed strips on both sides and extends more than five centimeters below the water surface. To facilitate the removal of seedlings, a permeable seedling tray 10 is placed on top of the tray 6. The permeable seedling tray 10 is composed of several square seedling trays 11. In order to facilitate the provision of light and supplemental lighting and to control the seedlings to receive sufficient light intensity, a lamp tube 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the seedling box 1. In order to ensure that there is enough oxygen in the seedling box 1 and timely ventilation, vent holes 13 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the seedling box 1.

[0021] In order to ensure that the guide cloth 9 is evenly wetted, a "Y"-shaped guide cloth strip 17 is evenly fixedly connected in the middle of the guide cloth 9 to absorb water from three directions, so that the guide cloth 9 is more evenly wetted. The upper end of the "Y"-shaped guide cloth strip 17 passes through the wall of the "V"-shaped groove 7 and is fixedly connected to the guide cloth 9, and the lower end passes through the vent hole 5 and extends into the water tank 2.

[0022] In order to allow the water vapor below to evaporate and enter the seedling substrate, holes are made on both sides of the "V" shaped trough 7 to allow water vapor to pass through. The water vapor enters the substrate through the breathing port 111 through the holes in the trough wall.

[0023] In order to place the permeable seedling tray 10 on the tray 6, the permeable seedling tray 10 has protrusions 101 on both sides, the protrusions 101 contact the upper edge of the tray 6, and a certain gap is left between the bottom of the square seedling bucket 11 and the guide cloth 9.

[0024] In order to allow the substrate to breathe and maintain humidity, a vent 111 is provided on both sides of the square cavity 11 and a drain 112 is provided at the bottom.

[0025] In order to detect the root temperature and keep it between 20-25 degrees Celsius, a temperature probe is installed between the square seed tubes 11. The temperature probe is connected to an external display. The electric heating element 8 and the lamp tube 12 are both electrically connected to an external power source. The lamp tube 12 is set as a full-light plant lamp tube.

[0026] To facilitate observation of the water level in the water tank, an observation port 16 is provided on one side wall of the water tank 2.

[0027] The specific working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] When cultivating raspberry seedlings, first place the seedlings into square seedling trays 11. Then, open the box door 15, place the partition 4 on the raised section, and fill the water tank 2 with water, ensuring that both ends of the drainage cloth 9 and the "Y"-shaped drainage cloth strips 17 are submerged. Next, place the permeable seedling tray 10 on top of the tray 6 and close the box door. As the water in the water tank 2 wets the entire drainage cloth 9 through capillary action, the rough edges of the drainage cloth 9 come into contact with the bottom of the square seedling tray 11, allowing water to enter the substrate through capillary action and continuously replenish moisture. When there is a lot of water, it flows down from the drain outlet 112 at the bottom of the square seedling tray 11. The seedlings enter the "V"-shaped groove 7 and flow into the water tank 2 through the bottom hole of the "V"-shaped groove 7. When the water evaporates, it enters the substrate through the holes on both sides of the "V"-shaped groove 7 and the coexisting breathing port 111. Air circulates through the air outlets 13 on both sides for ventilation. When there is insufficient external sunlight, turn on the lamp tube 12 to provide supplemental light for the seedlings. When the temperature of the root substrate is detected to be below 20 degrees Celsius, turn on the electric heating plate 8 and keep a close eye on it to keep the temperature between 20-25 degrees Celsius. Repeat the above process to cultivate seedlings, which can better control water, light and humidity and cultivate better seedlings.
