Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of seedling technology, and in particular relates to an automatic water-absorbing capillary array structure for seedling trays. Background Technology

[0002] Seedling trays are standardized containers used for large-scale seedling cultivation in agriculture and horticulture. They are mostly made of plastic (such as PP, PVC) or environmentally friendly composite materials. The overall structure is disc-shaped, with several independent seedling holes evenly distributed on the surface (the number and size of the holes can be customized according to the seedling species). Some high-end seedling trays also integrate auxiliary structures such as automatic water absorption capillary arrays and drainage holes.

[0003] Because the process of inserting the water-absorbing capillary tube into the holes under some seedling trays requires aligning the capillary tube with the hole before insertion, it is very difficult to insert the capillary tube into the small hole, which makes it difficult to assemble the capillary tube in the seedling tray.

[0004] To address this issue, we propose an automatic water-absorbing capillary array structure for seedling trays. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of the difficulty in assembling capillary tubes in seedling trays, and to propose an automatic water-absorbing capillary array structure for seedling trays.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An automatic water-absorbing capillary array structure for seedling trays includes a seedling tray with a base plate rotatably connected to its upper part. A plastic tube is inserted into the center of the base plate, and cotton rope is installed inside the plastic tube. The plastic tube is symmetrically arranged on the sides of the cotton rope. The base plate is fastened and matched with the seedling tray. Initially, the seedling tray and base plate are in an open state. The plastic tube is placed on the base plate, and then the base plate is closed. Soil is then placed in the seedling tray, and the plastic tube is immersed in water. The seedling tray absorbs water through the cotton rope inside the plastic tube, automatically drawing moisture from the soil. The plastic tube retains water, reducing the loss rate during the water supply process and facilitating automatic seedling water supply.

[0007] Preferably, the seedling tray includes a tray body, and the outside of the tray body has a locking groove. After the bottom plate is closed, the bottom plate is fastened by the locking groove, so that the bottom plate is held at the bottom of the seedling tray, allowing soil to be stored inside the seedling tray and facilitating the closure of the bottom plate.

[0008] Preferably, the base plate includes a plate body, a receiving groove is provided on the side of the plate body, a first spring buckle is fixedly connected to the head of the plate body, the first spring buckle is matched with the buckle groove, and the root of the plate body is rotatably connected to the tray body. When the seedling tray and base plate are unfolded, the plastic tube is placed in the receiving groove, and after the base plate is closed, the first spring buckle is used to fasten with the buckle groove to keep the base plate closed, which facilitates keeping the base plate in a closed state.

[0009] Preferably, a V-shaped groove is formed at the base of the receiving groove. The V-shaped groove is used to clamp the plastic tube.

[0010] Preferably, a guide opening is provided on the outer side of the receiving groove. The guide opening is used to guide the plastic tube into the receiving groove, which facilitates the installation of the plastic tube.

[0011] Preferably, a second spring-loaded buckle is fixedly connected to the side of the plate, and the second spring-loaded buckle is matched with a buckle groove. By operating the second spring-loaded buckle in the buckle groove on the side of the plate, the second spring-loaded buckle acts on the side of the plate and increases the stability of the side structure of the plate.

[0012] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. The seedling tray and base plate are initially in the open state. Put the plastic tube on the base plate, then close the base plate, put the soil in the seedling tray, and immerse the plastic tube in water. The seedling tray absorbs water through the cotton rope inside the plastic tube, automatically absorbing water for the soil. The plastic tube locks in the water, reducing the loss rate during the water supply process and facilitating automatic seedling water supply.

[0013] 2. After closing the bottom plate, fasten it with the groove to keep the bottom plate under the seedling tray, so that the soil can be stored inside the seedling tray and the bottom plate can be closed easily.

[0014] 3. With the seedling tray and base plate unfolded, insert the plastic tube into the receiving groove, close the base plate, and use the first spring buckle to fasten it to the buckle groove to keep the base plate closed, making it easy to keep the base plate closed.

[0015] 4. By using the second spring buckle operation in the buckle groove on the side of the disc body, the second spring buckle acts on the side of the disc body and plate body, increasing the stability of the side structure of the plate body. Attached Figure Description
