Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] This utility model provides an improved transport and turnover box for cucurbitaceous vine seedlings with moisture-retaining function. The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] In embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, a transport and turnover box for cucurbitaceous vine seedlings with a moisture-retaining function includes a box body 1. An exhaust assembly 6 for exhaust is installed on the top of the box body 1. The exhaust assembly 6 includes a cover with side holes and an exhaust fan installed inside the cover. Through the working cooperation between the exhaust assembly 6 on the top of the box body 1, including the cover with side holes and the exhaust fan installed inside the cover, the exhaust fan can exhaust the air inside the box through the side holes of the cover when it is running, promote the air circulation inside and outside the box, and avoid the excessive humidity or carbon dioxide concentration caused by the lack of air circulation inside the box. The corners at the bottom of the box body 1 are equipped with casters with brake buttons. A side door 3 is installed on one side of the box body 1. Multiple storage components are installed inside the box body 1. The storage components include a tray 5. The bottom sides of the tray 5 are provided with support strips 4 fixed to the inner wall of the box body 1.

[0027] The inner wall of the box 1 has a vertical placement groove, in which a moisturizing layer 8 is installed. The bottom of the box 1 is provided with a water storage tank 10 that contacts the bottom of the moisturizing layer 8. The water storage tank 10 provides the moisture base for the moisturizing layer 8. The moisturizing layer 8 maintains the basic humidity inside the box through its own properties. The moisturizing layer 8 is composed of a water-absorbing fiber layer and a sponge. The moisturizing layer 8 has honeycomb holes 9 that are evenly distributed. Through the working cooperation between the moisturizing layer 8, which is composed of a water-absorbing fiber layer and a sponge, and the honeycomb holes 9 that are evenly distributed, the superimposed structure of the water-absorbing fiber layer and the sponge enhances the overall water absorption and water retention. The honeycomb holes 9 increase the contact area between the moisturizing layer 8 and the air inside the box, which facilitates the slow evaporation of water to maintain humidity and improves the air permeability of the moisturizing layer 8 itself.

[0028] A temperature and humidity sensor 11 is installed on the inner side of the top of the box 1, and a control module 2 is installed on the outer side of the box 1. The box 1 is equipped with a spray humidification component 7. The temperature and humidity sensor 11 monitors the temperature and humidity inside the box in real time and transmits the data to the control module 2. When the humidity is lower than the set value, the control module 2 starts the spray humidification component 7 to supplement the humidity. The spray humidification component 7 includes a vertical pipe 71 installed on the inner side wall of the box 1. A spray pipe 72 extending to the top of the storage component is connected to one side of the vertical pipe 71. Two sets of symmetrical atomizing nozzles 73 are installed on the spray pipe 72. A spray pump 74 installed in the water storage tank 10 is connected to the bottom of the vertical pipe 71. The spray pump 74 draws water from the water storage tank 10, delivers it to the spray pipe 72 through the vertical pipe 71, and then converts the water into mist particles through the atomizing nozzles 73 and sprays it onto the top of the storage component. The mist particles can diffuse more evenly into the space inside the box, avoiding the damage to the seedlings caused by the water flow impact of traditional spraying, and achieving a highly efficient and gentle humidification effect.

[0029] The working principle of the cucurbitaceae vine seedling transport turnover box with moisturizing function provided by this utility model is as follows: The water storage tank 10 provides the moisture base for the moisturizing layer 8. The moisturizing layer 8 is composed of a water-absorbing fiber layer and a sponge. The honeycomb holes 9 distributed at equal intervals on the moisturizing layer 8 work together. The superimposed structure of the water-absorbing fiber layer and the sponge enhances the overall water absorption and water retention. The moisturizing layer 8 maintains the basic humidity inside the box through its own characteristics. The temperature and humidity sensor 11 monitors the temperature and humidity inside the box in real time and transmits the data to the control module 2. When the humidity is lower than the set value, the control module 2 starts the spray humidification component 7 to supplement the humidity. The spray pump 74 draws water from the water storage tank 10, delivers it to the spray pipe 72 through the vertical pipe 71, and then converts the water into mist particles through the atomizing nozzle 73 and sprays it above the storage component. The mist particles can diffuse more evenly into the space inside the box, avoiding the damage to the seedlings caused by the water flow impact of traditional spraying, and realizing the purpose of automatic and precise control of the humidity inside the box.
