Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedling box technology, and more specifically to a water-saving seedling box based on a support medium for wheat germination detection. Background Technology

[0002] Wheat sprouting is a serious natural disaster affecting wheat production in my country, severely impacting yield and quality. Discovering and creating superior resistant resources is the most fundamental and effective means of solving this problem, and wheat sprouting detection, as a crucial link, is of great significance for accurately assessing resistant resources. In the process of wheat sprouting detection, the seedling stage is paramount, and water-saving and efficient seedling methods can provide strong support for the detection work.

[0003] In modern agricultural production, seedling raising equipment plays a vital role, helping growers improve production efficiency, conserve resources, and provide a better growing environment. However, existing seedling raising equipment for wheat germination detection has many shortcomings in terms of water conservation. On the one hand, most existing seedling raising equipment lacks an effective water recycling mechanism, directly discharging excess water after watering, resulting in significant water waste. On the other hand, traditional seedling raising equipment is not precise enough in humidity control, often relying on manual, timed watering to maintain humidity. This method is difficult to ensure uniform and stable humidity, easily leading to localized areas of excessive dryness or wetness, affecting the quality of wheat germination. Moreover, in order to achieve suitable humidity, overwatering may occur, further wasting water resources. Additionally, it is labor-intensive and lacks timeliness. Therefore, developing a water-saving seedling raising box for wheat germination detection is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a water-saving seedling box based on a support medium for wheat germination detection, in order to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A water-saving seedling raising box based on a support medium for wheat germination detection includes a box body composed of a support frame and transparent splicing panels.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0030] A water-saving seedling tray based on a support medium for wheat germination detection, as shown in the attached document. Figure 1-8 As shown, the device includes a box body 1, which is assembled from a support frame 2 and a transparent splicing panel 3. The transparent splicing panel 3 ensures the lighting conditions inside the seedling box, guaranteeing the light requirements of the crops. Inside the box body 1, several placement layers 4 are arranged from top to bottom. Several seedling troughs 5 are evenly distributed on the placement layers 4. The seedling troughs 5 are filled with sponge 6. A liquid level sensor 7 is installed on one side of the inside of each seedling trough 5. A spray pipe 8 is installed above the seedling troughs 5, and spray nozzles 9 are evenly distributed on the spray pipe 8. The sprinkler pipe 8 is connected to a water supply pipe 10. In actual use, the water supply pipe 10 is connected to an external water supply line to supply water to the sprinkler pipe 8. A drain outlet 11 is provided on one side below the seedling trough 5. The drain outlet 11 is connected to a drain pipe 12. A water collection tank 13 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1. The drain pipe 12 is connected to the water collection tank 13. An overflow outlet 14 is provided in the water collection tank 13. The overflow outlet 14 can drain excess water from the water collection tank 13 to prevent excess water from the seedling trough 5 from being unable to drain. This can cause water accumulation in the seedling trough 5, leading to flooding of the wheat seedlings. The overflow outlet 14 is connected to a debris-proof head 15, and the water collection tank 13 is connected to a water pump 16. The water pump 16 is connected to the water delivery pipe 10, allowing it to recycle the collected water back to the sprinkler pipe, thus achieving effective water conservation and efficient utilization. A one-way valve 17 is installed on the pipe connecting the water pump 16 and the water delivery pipe 10. The one-way valve 17 prevents water from accumulating when supplying water to the sprinkler pipe 8. Water flows to the pipe where the water pump 16 is located, causing water diversion and affecting the spraying effect; the top of the box 1 is equipped with a water collection component. In this embodiment, the drainage outlet 11 below the seedling trough 5 can drain excess water in the seedling trough 5 into the water collection tank 13, preventing the wheat seedlings from being flooded by excessive water in the water collection tank 18; the liquid level sensor 7 can detect the water level in the seedling trough 5. When the water level is lower than the set value, the spray head 9 sprays water to replenish the water level, preventing the seedling trough 5 from drying out.

[0031] Specifically, the water collection component includes a water collection tank 18, with symmetrical water collection inlets 19 at the bottom of the water collection tank 18. The water collection inlets 19 are connected to the water collection tank 13 through pipes. A filter screen 20 is installed on the water collection inlets 19. The water collection tank 18 can collect rainwater during rainy days, and the filter screen 20 can effectively prevent impurities from entering the water collection tank 13.

[0032] Specifically, in order to prevent external impurities from entering the overflow port when there is no water overflow, the impurity prevention head 15 is made of soft rubber and is shaped like a duckbill. It is closed when there is no water flow and opens when water overflows. The excess water flows out through the overflow port and through the impurity prevention head 15. This not only prevents water accumulation in the seedling box, but also effectively prevents impurities from entering the water collection tank 13, thus avoiding water pollution. It also prevents impurities from damaging equipment such as water pumps, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0033] Specifically, ventilation openings 21 are provided on both sides of the box body 1, and ventilation screens 22 are provided on the ventilation openings 21. The ventilation openings 21 can ensure the air circulation inside the box body 1. The ventilation screens can ensure ventilation while preventing external impurities or pests from entering the box body 1 and damaging the wheat seedlings, and also prevent water pollution. They can also prevent impurities from damaging equipment such as water pumps, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0034] Specifically, two hinged doors 23 are installed on one side of the housing 1, and the two hinged doors 23 are hinged to the housing 1; permanent magnets 24 are installed on the opposite surfaces of the hinged doors 23, and the magnetic properties of the opposite surfaces of the two permanent magnets 24 are opposite. Through the connection of the hinged doors 23, it is convenient to open and close the hinged doors 23, and convenient to perform corresponding operations on the inside of the housing 1.

[0035] To ensure more even spraying, the spray head 9 is an atomizing nozzle, which can spray water more evenly onto the wheat seedlings.

[0036] To facilitate the transfer of the seedling box, casters 25 are installed at the bottom of the box body 1.
