Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an automated seedling raising system for chili seedlings, belonging to the field of automated chili seedling raising technology. Background Technology
[0002] In the chili pepper planting industry system, the seedling raising stage serves as a crucial link between the preceding and subsequent stages, and its operational quality and production efficiency directly determine the final yield and quality of the chili peppers. However, the currently widely used traditional chili pepper seedling raising methods suffer from multiple limiting defects: First, during manual sowing, the spatial uniformity of seed sowing is difficult to achieve due to differences in operator experience, resulting in uneven seedling density, which not only affects the normal growth and development of individual plants but also leads to inefficient use of land resources; Second, the manual planting model lacks real-time environmental monitoring capabilities, making it impossible to promptly perceive and regulate key environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, and soil moisture, thus making it difficult to guarantee the survival rate of chili pepper seedlings; Third, with the continuous expansion of chili pepper planting scale and the ever-increasing requirements of modern agriculture for seedling raising efficiency and technical standards, traditional seedling raising methods can no longer meet market demands in terms of both production capacity and quality stability. Therefore, developing an intelligent and efficient chili pepper seedling raising machine has become an urgent need to promote the modernization and upgrading of the chili pepper planting industry.
[0003] Compared to the patent document publication number "CN212487591U: A vertical chili seedling raising device, including a frame, with several partitions fixedly connected vertically in the middle of the frame, a soil layer at the top of the partitions, fluorescent lamps fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the partitions, water spray nozzles fixedly connected to both sides of the middle of the bottom of the partitions, a nutrient solution tank fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the frame, and an electric motor fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the nutrient solution tank," although the structure of the frame, electric motor, and solenoid valves enables the delivery of nutrients to the chili seedlings, it still has significant limitations in actual use.
[0004] Firstly, the device does not have an automated seedling transport system and relies on manual transport. Due to the limitations of manual operation speed and continuity, the operation efficiency is low. At the same time, the seedling storage area and the transport process are independent of each other, resulting in a waste of space resources. The device fails to achieve integrated storage and transport of seedlings, which greatly limits the improvement of the overall production efficiency of chili peppers.
[0005] Secondly, in the critical transplanting stage of chili seedling growth, the device lacks precise positioning and efficient transplanting functions. It cannot achieve refined and automated planting operations based on the characteristics of chili seedlings at different growth stages, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern agriculture for efficient and precise planting, and affecting the later growth quality and yield of chili seedlings.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automated seedling raising system for chili seedlings to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] This utility model provides an automated seedling raising system for chili seedlings.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-9As shown, the device includes a zinc-aluminum metal shell 1. A transmission structure 2 is located on one side inside the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1. Three sets of seedling inlets 3 are located above the transmission structure 2. An infrared sensing propulsion structure 4 is detachably installed on the inner side of the back end of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1 via bolts. A first stepper motor 5 is detachably installed on the shaft end of the infrared sensing propulsion structure 4 via bolts. Six sets of ohm-type tungsten insulated tubes 6 are connected above the infrared sensing propulsion structure 4 on the inner side of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1 via six sets of ohm-type tungsten tubes 7. A second stepper motor 9 is fixed on the side of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1 away from the transmission structure 2. A seedling-bearing rotating platform structure 8 is located at the drive end of the second stepper motor 9. A spiral seedling tray 19 is located above the seedling-bearing rotating platform structure 8. A drive device 20 is fixed on the inner wall of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1 above the spiral seedling tray 19. Four sets of propulsion devices 16 are located at the drive end of the drive device 20. A water storage tank 17 is fixed above the drive device 20 on the inner side of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1. An automatic sprinkler irrigation line 11 is located on the upper side of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1.
[0033] Please refer to it again. Figures 1-9 As shown, it is worth noting that the transmission structure 2 includes a guide rail conveyor belt 22. A slider 21 is detachably mounted on the output end of the guide rail conveyor belt 22 via bolts. A seedling box body 221 is placed on the upper end of the slider 21. Seedling box connection ports 222 are provided on both sides of the seedling box body 221. A hollow seedling box base 223 is fixed to the lower end of the seedling box body 221. The guide rail conveyor belt 22 is detachably mounted on the inner wall of one side of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1 via bolts. An electrically controlled seedling inlet baffle 31 is provided at the lower end of the seedling inlet body 3. A seedling outlet 32 is provided in the middle of the seedling inlet body 3. The seedling inlet body 3 is detachably mounted on the inner wall of one side of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1 via bolts. The seedling body 3 is positioned above the guide rail conveyor belt 22. A charging port 10 is provided on one side of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1. A ventilation hole partition 12 is fixed to the upper end of the base of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1. Several support columns 13 are fixed to the lower end of the ventilation hole partition 12. A rectangular air baffle 14 is fixed to the other end of the several support columns 13. Two sets of sliding doors 15 are provided on the side of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1 away from the heat preservation tungsten tube 6. A spiral seedling box guide rail 191 is fixed to the upper end of the spiral seedling tray 19. Several friction wheels 192 are rotatably connected to the side of the spiral seedling box guide rail 191 on the spiral seedling tray 19. The spiral seedling tray 19 is placed on the surface of the loading column platform 82.
[0034] In use, the seedling box body 221 is first placed stably on the slider 21. The spiral seedling tray 19 is then accurately placed on the columnar platform 82, and the sliding door 15 is closed. The guide rail conveyor belt 22 of the transmission structure 2 drives the slider 21 to move, causing the seedling box body 221 placed on the slider 21 to move synchronously. During this movement, the seedling box body 221 passes through three seedling inlet bodies 3 in sequence. When it passes the first seedling inlet body 3, the seedling inlet baffle... 31 automatically opens, and the soil in the first seedling inlet body 3 falls evenly into the bottom of the seedling box body 221 through the seedling outlet 32 to complete the bottom filling operation. Then the seedling box body 221 moves to the second seedling inlet body 3, where the seedling outlet baffle 31 also opens, and the pepper seedlings fall precisely from the seedling outlet 32 into the already filled seedling box body 221. Then, when it passes the third seedling inlet body 3, the seedling outlet baffle 31 opens, and the soil once again covers the pepper seedlings through the seedling outlet 32 to complete the top filling operation.
[0035] The guide rail conveyor belt 22 continuously rotates, driving the slider 21 and the seedling box body 221 to the back end of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1. The infrared sensing propulsion structure 4 installed here senses the seedling box body 221 and triggers its operation. The first stepper motor 5 starts first, initially pushing the seedling box body 221 from the slider 21 to the carrying spiral seedling tray 19 on the carrying column platform 82. Subsequently, under the precise control of the infrared sensing propulsion structure 4, the drive device 20 starts to operate, further pushing the seedling box body 221. The friction wheel 192 rotatably connected on the carrying spiral seedling tray 19 plays a guiding role, guiding the seedling box body 221 smoothly into the spiral seedling box guide rail 191 and neatly arranging it in a predetermined order, realizing the effect of automated and continuous seedling transportation, significantly accelerating the seedling transportation speed, and thus improving the working efficiency of the automated seedling system.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] Please see Figures 1-9 As shown, the functions of refined and automated planting have been added based on the first embodiment.
[0038] Please refer to it again. Figures 1-9 As shown, it is worth noting that the seedling support rotating platform structure 8 includes a circular rotating disk 81, four load-bearing columnar platforms 82 are rotatably connected to the side of the circular rotating disk 81, the outer surface of the circular rotating disk 81 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1, the middle of the circular rotating disk 81 is connected to the drive end of the second stepper motor 9, the outlet of the automatic sprinkler line 11 has two water supply pipes 112 fixed, several water nozzles 111 are installed in the middle of the water supply pipes 112, and a water pump 18 is fixed at the inlet of the automatic sprinkler line 11, with the inlet of the water pump 18 located at the bottom of the water storage tank 17.
[0039] In use, after the seedling trays 221 on the spiral seedling tray 19 are in place, the second stepper motor 9 drives the circular rotating disk 81 on the seedling support rotating platform structure 8 to rotate, causing the columnar platform 82, which is rotatably connected to the side of the circular rotating disk 81, to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the spiral seedling tray 19 placed on it to rotate. Since the spiral seedling tray guide rail 191 is filled with seedling trays 221, the columnar platform 82 rotates under its own weight under the drive of the circular rotating disk 81, ensuring that the platform surface always remains horizontal. When the spiral seedling tray 19 carrying the seedling trays 221 rotates to be directly below the water supply pipe 112 below the automatic sprinkler line 11, the water pump 18 starts working, spraying water from the water storage tank 17 evenly into the seedling trays 221 through the spray nozzles 111 on the water supply pipe 112, completing the irrigation of the chili seedlings. Meanwhile, the tungsten insulated tube 6, connected to the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1 by the Omka 7, generates heat to maintain a constant temperature environment inside the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1. The ventilation baffle 12 at the bottom of the zinc-aluminum metal shell 1, connected to a rectangular air baffle 14 via a support column 13, precisely regulates the exchange of air inside and outside, balancing the ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide, creating an ideal growing environment for the chili seedlings. The entire process is interconnected, achieving refined and automated planting to meet the demands of modern agriculture for efficient and precise planting, thereby improving the quality and yield of chili seedlings in the later stages of growth.
