Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lemon seedling technology, specifically a lemon seedling box. Background Technology
[0002] Lemon is a plant belonging to the genus Citrus in the family Rutaceae, class Dicotyledonous plants. It is also known as lemon fruit, foreign lemon, and motherwort fruit. It is a small tree with few or no thorns on its branches. Young leaves and flower buds are dark purplish-red, and the leaves are thick and papery, ovate or elliptical.
[0003] China has disclosed a portable seedling raising device for lemon cultivation, with the announcement number CN220712253U. By pulling the lever, the slider can slide along the slide groove until the support plate is moved to the outside of the box. Then, the support plate is pulled out, and the support plate will open to both sides. At the same time, the seedling tray can be placed directly inside the support plate. The placement and removal of the seedling tray are relatively simple.
[0004] Based on the above-disclosed solutions and existing technologies, the existing seedling boxes are difficult to provide sufficient light for each layer of seedlings, which can easily lead to asynchronous development of seedlings in the seedling box. If we want to ensure that each layer of seedlings receives sufficient light, the seedling trays need to be removed and laid flat. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also easy to damage the seedlings during transportation. Therefore, we propose a lemon seedling box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4The lemon seedling box shown includes a box body 1. A mounting frame is fixedly installed on one side of the box body 1. A lead screw 2 is rotatably connected inside the mounting frame. A nut seat 3 is threadedly connected to the bottom surface of the lead screw 2. A fixing block is sleeved on the top surface of the lead screw 2. The upper outer side of the lead screw 2 is a smooth end used to fix the sleeved fixing block. The lower outer side of the lead screw 2 is a threaded end used to thread the nut seat 3. A telescopic frame 4 is rotatably connected to one side of the nut seat 3 and the fixing block. Rotating the nut seat 3 pulls the telescopic frame 4 to extend or retract. The telescopic frame 4 is composed of multiple intersecting support rods. The middle of the intersecting support rods is movably connected by a pin, and the top and bottom of adjacent intersecting support rods are connected by a pin. The box 1 is connected by a movable shaft. Four sliding frames 5 are provided on one side. The top of the sliding frame 5 is fixedly connected to a slider. The slider is slidably set in the groove opened at the top of the box 1. The movable shaft of the telescopic frame 4 at the bottom is slidably set in the vertical groove opened on the surface of the sliding frame 5. The movable shaft of the telescopic frame 4 at the top is rotatably connected to the surface of the sliding frame 5. A sliding rod 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the box 1. The sliding rod 6 is slidably connected to the bottom of the sliding frame 5. A shading cloth 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding frame 5. The shading cloth 7 can be stretched to avoid the leaf burn caused by strong direct sunlight. When light is needed, it can be easily retracted. One end of the shading cloth 7 is connected to the fixing block set at the top of the box 1.
[0022] The box 1 contains three seedling trays 8, each with equally spaced seedling spaces to ensure adequate growth space for each seedling. The seedling tray 8 at the top of the box 1 is connected to the inner wall of the box 1. The seedling trays 8 in the middle and at the bottom are slidably positioned within grooves inside the box 1 (details omitted in the diagram). A baffle is located at the bottom of one side of the seedling tray 8 in the middle of the box 1 to prevent dripping water from splashing onto gear 10, rack A9, and rack B11, thus affecting normal operation. A sliding plate is slidably mounted inside the baffle, connecting to the top of the seedling tray 8 at the bottom of the box 1. A rack A9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the seedling tray 8 in the middle of the box 1, and gear 10 meshes with the surface of rack A9. One end of the intermediate shaft of gear 10 is connected to the motor. The output shaft is connected to the gear 10. The bottom of the surface of the gear 10 is meshed with a rack B11. The rotation of the gear 10 causes the meshed racks A9 and B11 to move. The racks A9 and B11 drive the seedling tray 8 connected at one end to move in the opposite direction. The rack B11 is connected to one side of the top of the seedling tray 8 located at the bottom of the box 1. One end of the gear 10 is connected to a bevel gear set 12 via a synchronous belt. One end of the bevel gear set 12 is connected to the bottom of the lead screw 2. The bevel gear set 12 consists of two bevel gears. One end of one bevel gear is connected to the lead screw 2. The other bevel gear is connected to one end of the gear 10 via a synchronous belt. The intermediate shaft of the other bevel gear and the intermediate shaft of the gear 10 are both fixedly connected to pulleys for synchronous belt transmission.
[0023] Each of the three seedling trays 8 is fixedly connected to a liquid storage tank 13 at its bottom. The liquid storage tank 13 is equipped with a filter plate 14. The front of the liquid storage tank 13 has an opening for the filter plate 14 to slide. Impurities in the water are filtered by the filter plate 14. The impurities remain on the surface of the filter plate 14, which can be pulled out for cleaning. The back of the liquid storage tank 13 is connected to a water spraying pipe 15 via a water pump. The bottom of the water spraying pipe 15 is equipped with atomizing nozzles at equal intervals, which turn the filtered water into water mist and spray it onto the surface of the seedlings to keep them continuously moist.
[0024] To ensure the sealing effect of the box 1, a door can be installed on both sides of the box 1 using hinges. The door is not shown in the figure. When the seedling tray 8 needs to be removed, the door can be opened before the operation.
[0025] The implementation principle of a lemon seedling box in this embodiment is as follows: When the seedlings need sunlight, the motor is started, causing gear 10 to rotate. The rotation of gear 10 causes the meshing racks A9 and B11 to move. Racks A9 and B11 drive the seedling tray 8 connected at one end to move in the opposite direction, so that the seedling tray 8 is moved out of the box body 1, preventing the lower seedling tray 8 from being blocked and not receiving sufficient sunlight. The rotation of gear 10 causes the bevel gear set 12 to drive the lead screw 2 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 2 causes the nut seat 3 connected to the surface thread to drive the telescopic frame 4 to retract. The shade cloth 7 is folded so that each seedling tray 8 can receive sufficient light. The distance the seedling tray 8 moves from the box 1 is the same as the distance the shade cloth 7 extends and retracts. Water overflowing from irrigating the seedlings falls into the storage tank 13. Some impurities in the water are filtered by the filter plate 14. The filtered water is transported through the sprinkler pipe 15 and sprayed onto the surface of the seedlings by the atomizing nozzle at the bottom of the sprinkler pipe 15 to keep the seedlings moist and avoid wasting water resources. The filter plate 14 can be removed through the opening on the front of the storage tank 13 to clean the impurities on the surface of the filter plate 14.
[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
