Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal herb seedling bed technology, and in particular to a seedling bed for planting Chinese medicinal herbs. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese medicinal herb seedling beds are specially designed for cultivating seedlings of medicinal plants. They typically use loose, breathable, and well-drained substrates (such as humus, river sand, vermiculite, etc.) and control appropriate humidity, temperature, and light conditions. Seedling beds facilitate centralized management, ensure robust seedlings, and lay the foundation for subsequent transplanting. They are suitable for Chinese medicinal herbs such as ginseng, astragalus, and scutellaria, which have high requirements for their growth environment.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent authorization announcement number CN220545559U for a seedling bed for planting Chinese medicinal herbs. The bed includes a seedling rack and seedling trays, as well as an irrigation component. This component includes a water tank, a water supply pipe, an irrigation pipe, sprinklers, a water pump, and a drive mechanism. When irrigation is needed, the drive mechanism is activated to move the irrigation pipe above the seedling trays requiring irrigation. Then, the water pump draws water from the water tank to the water supply pipe, which then delivers the water to the irrigation pipe. The sprinklers on the irrigation pipe spray water onto the medicinal herbs, thus irrigating them individually based on water evaporation rates, thereby improving irrigation efficiency.
[0004] However, in implementing the relevant technology, the following problems were found with the above-mentioned seedling bed: the existing technology uses movable irrigation pipes to control the irrigation amount in different areas, but the height of the irrigation pipes in the existing technology is always fixed. Since the seedlings are relatively short in the early stage, the water mist during irrigation is far away from the seedlings, and therefore easily drifts to other places, which is not conducive to ensuring the irrigation effect in different areas. In addition, in order to prevent diseases and pests of medicinal materials, it is necessary to spray pesticides regularly, but the existing technology can only spray vertically and cannot effectively remove pests under the leaves. Based on this, this utility model designs a seedling bed for planting Chinese medicinal materials to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5The image shows a seedling bed for planting Chinese medicinal herbs, including a fixed frame 1. Planting frames 19 are placed on the top outer wall of the fixed frame 1, allowing medicinal herbs to be sown inside the planting frames 19. Linear guide rails 2 are installed on one side wall of the fixed frame 1. The linear guide rails 2 are standard components, primarily used to achieve linear reciprocating motion of the equipment or workbench. Their core consists of a guide rail (fixed part) and a slider (moving part), with internal ball bearings or rollers circulating to reduce friction, improve motion stability, and enhance positioning accuracy. The linear guide rails 2 are connected to a support side plate 3 via the slider. A guide rod 4 is fixedly installed on the support side plate 3, and a lifting plate 5 is slidably engaged on the guide rod 4. The lifting plate 5 has two side walls respectively equipped with… Support block 9 is connected to fixed side plate 10. Support shaft 11 is rotatably connected to fixed side plate 10 via ball bearings. Adjustable base plate 14 is installed at one end of support shaft 11. Water spray pipe 15 is installed on the bottom outer wall of adjustable base plate 14. Spray nozzles are installed on the side walls of water spray pipe 15. A plastic hose is connected to water spray pipe 15, and the other end of the plastic hose is connected to a water pump. The water pump delivers external water to the inside of water spray pipe 15. Fixed base 6 is installed on one side wall of support side plate 3. Ball screw 7 is rotatably connected to fixed base 6. Drive block 8 is connected to ball screw 7 via ball nut. Ball screw 7 is a standard part. A high-precision transmission device achieves rotary-linear motion conversion through the rolling of balls between a lead screw and a nut. A drive block 8 is connected to a support block 9. A drive motor 12 is mounted on one side wall of a fixed side plate 10, and a drive pulley 13 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 12. A driven pulley 16 is mounted on the side wall of a support shaft 11, and the drive pulley 13 is connected to the driven pulley 16 via a transmission belt. When using this device, water is first supplied to the inside of a water spray pipe 15, and then sprayed out through a nozzle at the bottom of the water spray pipe 15 to irrigate medicinal herbs. Simultaneously, by driving the ball screw 7 to rotate, the drive block 8 can move the adjusting base plate 14 up and down, thereby moving the water spray pipe 15... The height of the device is adjustable, allowing it to adjust the spraying height according to different growth stages of the medicinal materials, thereby improving the spraying effect. When it is necessary to spray the medicinal materials, the angle of the adjusting base plate 14 can be adjusted by rotating the support shaft 11, which in turn adjusts the spraying angle of the nozzle on the water pipe 15, further improving the spraying effect. When it is necessary to spray under the leaves, the nozzle on the water pipe 15 can be adjusted to an upward tilt position, and then the adjusting base plate 14 can be moved under the leaves, allowing the nozzle on the water pipe 15 to spray the medicinal materials under the leaves. Therefore, this device can eliminate pests from all directions, ensuring the effectiveness of pest control.
[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, limiting bases 17 are installed on both sides of the fixed frame 1, and fixed baffles 18 are snapped onto the limiting bases 17. By snapping the fixed baffles 18 onto the limiting bases 17, the planting frame 19 can be limited, which helps to prevent the planting frame 19 from falling off the fixed frame 1.
[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a drive motor 20 is installed on one of the fixed bases 6. A drive gear 21 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 20. A driven gear 22 is installed at one end of the ball screw 7. The drive gear 21 and the driven gear 22 are meshed and connected. The drive motor 20 drives the drive gear 21 at its output end to rotate, so that the driven gear 22 can drive the ball screw 7 to rotate, thereby enabling the ball screw 7 to drive the drive block 8 to move up and down.
[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a drive motor 23 is installed on one side wall of the support side plate 3. A drive gear 24 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 23. A rack 25 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the fixing frame 1. The drive gear 24 is meshed with the rack 25. The drive motor 23 drives the drive gear 24 on its output end to rotate, thereby driving the support side plate 3 to move, which is beneficial to adjusting the spray position of the water spray pipe 15.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, a positioning sleeve 26 is installed on the top outer wall of the lifting plate 5. The guide rod 4 is slidably engaged with the positioning sleeve 26. The positioning sleeve 26 can limit the side wall of the guide rod 4, thereby improving the stability of the lifting plate 5 when it moves up and down.
[0028] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model is a seedling bed for planting Chinese medicinal materials. Water is supplied into the water pipe 15 and then sprayed out through the nozzle at the bottom of the water pipe 15 to irrigate the Chinese medicinal materials. By driving the ball screw 7 to rotate, the drive block 8 can drive the adjusting base plate 14 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the water pipe 15. This helps to ensure that the device has a good spraying effect on Chinese medicinal materials at different stages.
[0029] Meanwhile, when it is necessary to spray pesticide on Chinese medicinal materials, the support shaft 11 can be rotated, which allows the adjusting base plate 14 to rotate, thereby adjusting the spraying angle of the nozzle on the spray pipe 15. When it is necessary to spray under the leaves, the nozzle on the spray pipe 15 can be adjusted to an upward tilting position, and then the adjusting base plate 14 can be moved under the leaves, so that the nozzle on the spray pipe 15 can spray pesticide under the leaves, which helps to ensure the effect of pest control on Chinese medicinal materials.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
