Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vegetable planting technology, specifically a root soaking device for chili seedlings. Background Technology

[0002] Chili peppers, as a common vegetable, are typically grown in large-scale fields using a method of greenhouse seedling raising, field transplanting, and mechanized harvesting. Before transplanting, chili pepper seedlings need to undergo root soaking treatment. This involves immersing the roots of the seedlings in a fungicide solution before transplanting. Through root soaking, the fungicide coats the surface of the root system, forming a protective layer that kills or inhibits pathogens before they have a chance to infect the plant. This effectively reduces the incidence of root diseases (such as root rot and wilt) caused by bacteria and fungi after transplanting.

[0003] For example, an existing patent (application number CN202220786758.2) discloses a root-soaking device for chili seedling disease and pest control. This device inserts chili seedlings into a toothed ring, utilizing the engagement of the toothed ring with an inclined rack, and the weight of the toothed ring and the chili seedlings themselves. This causes the seedlings to rotate while their roots are immersed in a lime solution, preventing them from tipping over and saving time spent on seedling placement. This facilitates the use of the root-soaking device for chili seedling disease and pest control. However, in practice, the chili seedlings still need to be inserted through the toothed ring into a clamp inside for fixation, and then the clamp is released to remove them after soaking. This operation is still relatively cumbersome, resulting in low efficiency in the root-soaking treatment of chili seedlings. Therefore, it is necessary to design a chili seedling root-soaking device that prevents chili seedlings from tipping over during the soaking process, while also facilitating the placement and removal of the seedlings. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a chili seedling root soaking device that can prevent chili seedlings from tipping over during the root soaking process, and at the same time facilitates the placement and removal of chili seedlings, thereby improving the efficiency of root soaking treatment, so as to solve the technical problem of low efficiency of the above-mentioned chili seedling root soaking device.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a root soaking device for chili seedlings, including a root soaking box and a seedling rack. The seedling rack is placed inside the root soaking box, and the shape of the seedling rack matches the shape of the inner cavity of the root soaking box. A drain pipe is fixedly connected to the lower side of the root soaking box. The seedling rack includes a base plate, side plates, and a placement platform. The two sides of the base plate are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the side plates, and a handle is fixedly connected to the upper end of the side plates. The two ends of the placement platform are fixedly connected to the upper end of the side plates, and the placement platform is located above the base plate. There is a space between the placement platform and the base plate. The cross-section of the placement platform is a right trapezoid, and several inclined arc grooves are formed on the inclined surface of the placement platform. The arc grooves have the same inclination angle as the inclined surface of the placement platform.

[0006] Furthermore, a grid support plate is fixedly connected to the lower part of the root soaking box, and the seedling rack is placed on the grid support plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a water level observation column is installed on one side of the root soaking box. When the seedling rack is placed on the grid support plate, a liquid level indicator is set at the same height position at the bottom of the placement platform. The liquid level indicator is set on the water level observation column.

[0008] Furthermore, the base plate is provided with several drainage holes.

[0009] Furthermore, four casters are fixedly connected to the bottom of the root soaking box.

[0010] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0011] 1. This utility model provides a matching seedling rack inside the root soaking box. An arc groove is inclinedly opened on the placement platform of the seedling rack. During root soaking, the bundled pepper seedlings can be quickly placed into the arc groove, and the seedling rack is placed into the root soaking box for root soaking. This saves the time spent placing pepper seedlings. At the same time, the seedling rack and the root soaking box work together to ensure that the pepper seedlings are supported during the soaking process and avoid tipping over, thus improving the efficiency of pepper seedling soaking.

[0012] 2. This utility model has a water level observation column installed on one side of the root soaking tank, and the position of the liquid level indicator is marked on the water level observation column. Each time the bactericide solution is added to the root soaking tank, it is added to the height of the liquid level indicator and then stopped, so as to avoid adding too much or too little bactericide solution and ensure that the root soaking work can be carried out stably.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 The illustrated chili seedling root soaking device includes a root soaking box 1 and seedling racks 2. The root soaking box 1 is a rectangular prism with an open top, measuring 110cm × 20cm × 55cm. The seedling racks 2 are placed inside the root soaking box 1, and their shape matches the inner cavity of the box. This arrangement allows the inner wall of the box 1 to support the chili seedlings, ensuring that the seedlings placed in the arc grooves 8 on the racks 2 will not tip over. To further improve the efficiency of root soaking, one root soaking box 1 can be equipped with two or more seedling racks 2. During use, one rack is placed inside the box 1 for root soaking, while the remaining racks hold the chili seedlings to be soaked. This process is continuous. A drain pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the root soaking box 1, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe 3. The valve is closed during use, and the device needs to be cleaned after use. When drainage is needed, the valve is opened. The seedling rack 2 consists of a base plate 4, two side plates 5, and a placement platform 6. The base plate 4 is fixedly connected to the lower ends of the side plates 5 on both sides, forming a "U" shape. A handle 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the side plates 5, allowing the operator to lift or lower the seedling rack 2 by gripping the handle 7. The placement platform 6 is fixedly connected to the upper ends of the side plates 5 at both ends, and is located above the base plate 4. A space is left between the placement platform 6 and the base plate 4 to accommodate the roots of the pepper seedlings. The cross-section of the placement platform 6 is a right-angled trapezoid, smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. The angle between the inclined surface of the placement platform 6 and the horizontal direction should be maintained between 75° and 80°. Several inclined arc grooves 8 are formed on the inclined surface of the placement platform 6, with the same inclination angle as the inclined surface of the placement platform 6. In use, the pepper seedlings are placed in the arc grooves 8 at an angle.

[0021] To prevent fallen leaves and other debris from chili seedlings from falling into the bottom of the root soaking tank 1 and clogging the drain pipe 3 during drainage, a grid support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the root soaking tank 1. The grid support plate 9 is installed at a height of about 15cm from the bottom of the root soaking tank 1. The grid support plate 9 is made of a grid with a relatively dense mesh. During drainage, larger debris can be filtered to the upper side of the grid support plate 9, preventing the drain pipe 3 from being blocked by large debris. The seedling rack 2 is placed on the grid support plate 9.

[0022] To facilitate observation of the liquid level in the root soaking tank 1, a water level observation column 10 is installed on one side of the root soaking tank 1. The water level observation column 10 uses a glass tube level gauge, and its upper and lower ends are connected to the inside of the root soaking tank 1 through flanges to form a communicating vessel structure. When the seedling rack 2 is placed on the grid support plate 9, a liquid level indicator 11 is set at the same height position at the bottom of the placement platform 6. The liquid level indicator 11 is set on the water level observation column 10. Each time fungicide solution is added to the root soaking tank 1, it is added until the liquid level reaches the position of the liquid level indicator.

[0023] To facilitate the rapid flow of the medicinal liquid from the roots of the chili seedlings and the bottom plate 4 when the seedling rack 2 is lifted from the root soaking box 1, several drainage holes 12 are provided on the bottom plate 4.

[0024] To facilitate the movement of this device, four casters 13 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the root soaking box 1. The four casters are casters with built-in locking mechanisms. When the locking mechanism is pressed, the casters are locked to prevent the device from slipping during use.

[0025] The specific working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] Add the prepared bactericide solution to the root soaking tank 1 until the liquid level in the root soaking tank 1 reaches the height of the liquid level indicator 11. Stop adding bactericide solution to the root soaking tank 1. Place the pepper seedlings in the arc grooves 8 on the seedling rack 2 in bunches, with the roots of the pepper seedlings facing down. Adjust the roots to be between the placement platform 6 and the bottom plate 4. After all the pepper seedlings are placed in the arc grooves 8, the operator holds the handles 7 on both sides and puts the seedling rack 2 into the root soaking tank 1 until the bottom of the seedling rack 2 contacts the grid support plate 9. At this time, the liquid level in the root soaking tank 1 is slightly above the bottom of the placement platform. Soak all the pepper roots in the bactericide solution. After soaking the roots for 3-4 minutes, hold the handles 7 on both sides and lift the seedling rack 2. After draining the water at a high position, take it out to complete this root soaking. Repeat the above steps to put pepper seedlings in the arc grooves 8 again and put the seedling rack 2 into the root soaking tank 1 again for root soaking.

[0027] It should also be noted that after multiple root soakings, fungicide solution should be added to the root soaking box 1 in a timely manner. When adding, stop when the liquid level reaches the height of the liquid level indicator 11. When placing the seedling rack 2 containing the pepper seedlings into the root soaking box 1, you can first hold the seedling rack 2 at an angle so that the pepper seedlings in the arc groove 8 are placed at a horizontal angle of 30 degrees. Then move it and put the back side of the seedling rack 2 into the root soaking box 1. Flip the seedling rack 2 forward and keep putting the seedling rack 2 into the root soaking box 1 until the seedling rack 2 changes from an inclined state to a vertical state. Then put the seedling rack 2 down into the root soaking box 1 to avoid the pepper seedlings from falling.
