Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forestry engineering technology, and in particular to a seedling storage device. Background Technology

[0002] A seedling storage device is a specialized device for the temporary storage and protection of seedlings. It is used in forestry seedling cultivation, landscaping, and agricultural planting. It plays a role in the process of seedlings moving from nursery cultivation to on-site transplanting, providing a suitable storage environment for seedlings, reducing damage to seedlings during transportation and storage, and ensuring the survival rate of seedlings.

[0003] Traditional seedling storage devices consist of a box, shelves, and a simple fixing structure. In use, operators place the seedlings with soil clumps directly on the shelves inside the box and tie them to the uprights of the shelves with ropes or cable ties to prevent them from tipping over. However, this traditional device does not have an automatic watering function. During storage and transportation, the box door needs to be opened manually at regular intervals to water the seedlings. This not only increases the intensity of manual labor but also makes it difficult to accurately control the amount of water. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while insufficient watering can cause the seedlings to wither, seriously affecting the survival rate of the seedlings.

[0004] To address the issue of traditional devices not being able to automatically replenish water, existing technologies incorporate a water storage structure and simple irrigation pipes within the container. Water is supplied to the seedling roots via a manual valve. However, in practical use, when the seedling needs to be removed, the irrigation pipes and the fixing structure obstruct the flow. Operators must first untie the ropes or straps securing the seedling and then manually disassemble part of the irrigation pipes to remove the seedling from the container. This cumbersome process reduces the efficiency of seedling transplantation. Therefore, a seedling storage device is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a seedling storage device, which aims to improve the problem of cumbersome operation process in the prior art, thereby reducing the efficiency of seedling transplantation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a seedling storage device, including a box body, a box door rotatably connected to the front side of the box body, a quick-installation mechanism provided inside the box body, and multiple insert plates slidably connected to the inner wall of the box body, with a stabilizing mechanism provided on the top of each of the multiple insert plates.

[0007] The quick-assembly mechanism includes two slide rails, the outer walls of which are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the box, respectively. The inner walls of both slide rails are slidably connected to the same slide plate. The inner walls of the slide plate are slidably connected to multiple bottom basins. The inner walls of the multiple bottom basins are slidably connected to sponges. The bottom of the multiple bottom basins is provided with multiple drainage holes. The bottom of the inner walls of the multiple bottom basins is fixedly connected to absorbent ropes. The top of the slide plate is provided with a partition component. The inside of the box is provided with a guide component.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The stabilizing mechanism includes a fixed ring, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the insert plate. A rotating ring is rotatably connected to the front side of the fixed ring. A slot is provided on the front side of the insert plate. A soft pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed ring. A locking assembly is provided on the outside of the fixed ring.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The partition assembly includes a vertical partition plate, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing, and a horizontal partition plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the vertical partition plate.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The guiding component includes a guide block, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the box, and a guide groove is provided on the rear side of the outer wall of the vertical partition plate.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The locking assembly includes two buckles, the outer walls of which are respectively fixedly connected to the outer walls of the fixed ring and the rotating ring. The inner walls of both buckles are slidably connected to the same threaded rope, and the outer wall of the threaded rope is slidably connected to a rope buckle.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] A water storage tank is fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the box, and a water inlet is connected to the top of the water storage tank.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] A communication opening is provided on the rear side of the outer wall of the box, and a splash guard is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The outer walls of the multiple insert plates are slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical partition plate, and the bottom ends of the multiple water-absorbing ropes are slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the box.

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, the sliding cooperation between the slide rail and the sliding plate allows the sliding plate to extend completely out of the box, reducing the depth of placing and taking out the seedlings. There is no need to bend over and reach into the box, which improves the convenience of operation. At the same time, the partition plate forms a grid-like partition to separate adjacent bottom pots and prevent the branches and leaves of the seedlings from getting tangled.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, by rotating the fixed ring connecting shaft and docking with the slot, the fixed ring and the rotating ring form a closed ring space, which restricts the trunk in the middle, so that it can resist lateral impact during transportation and prevent the trunk from shaking significantly. The elasticity of the soft pad can buffer longitudinal vibration and prevent the trunk from directly colliding with the metal parts, which would cause damage to the bark. By operating the locking component in reverse and rotating the rotating ring, no tools are needed to remove the seedling, making the operation convenient and effectively protecting the seedling.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0033] See attached document Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a seedling storage device, comprising a box 1, which provides the installation foundation and storage space for the entire device. A box door 2 is rotatably connected to the front of the box 1. The box door 2 is used to close the box 1 and facilitate the placement and removal of seedlings. A quick-installation mechanism 3 is provided inside the box 1. The quick-installation mechanism 3 is used to realize the quick placement and removal of seedlings. Multiple insert plates 4 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the box 1. The insert plates 4 are used to install stabilizing mechanisms 5. Stabilizing mechanisms 5 are provided on the top of the multiple insert plates 4. The stabilizing mechanisms 5 are used to fix the seedlings to prevent them from shaking.

[0034] The quick-installation mechanism 3 includes two slide rails 301, which guide the sliding of the slide plate 302. The outer walls of the two slide rails 301 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the box 1, respectively, so that the slide rails 301 are stably connected to the box 1. The inner walls of both slide rails 301 are slidably connected to the same slide plate 302. The slide plate 302 is used to support the bottom pot 303 and slide along the slide rail 301. Multiple bottom pots 303 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide plate 302. The bottom pots 303 are used to place the roots of the seedlings. The inner walls of the multiple bottom pots 303 are slidably connected to a sponge 304, which is used to wrap the soil ball around the roots of the seedlings. To maintain moisture, multiple drainage holes 305 are provided at the bottom of multiple basins 303 to drain excess water. Water-absorbing ropes 306 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of multiple basins 303 to transfer water to sponge 304. The bottom ends of multiple water-absorbing ropes 306 are slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of box 1 so that the water-absorbing ropes 306 can contact the water inside the box. A partition component 307 is provided on the top of the slide plate 302 to separate different seedlings to avoid mutual interference. A guide component 308 is provided inside the box 1 to assist in installation.

[0035] The partition assembly 307 includes a vertical partition plate 3071, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box 1. The outer walls of multiple insert plates 4 are also slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical partition plate 3071 to enhance the partitioning effect. A horizontal partition plate 3072 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the vertical partition plate 3071. The two partition plates form a grid-like partition to separate adjacent bottom basins 303.

[0036] Specifically, when placing the sapling, open the box door 2 and push the sliding plate 302 outward along the slide rail 301, so that the sliding plate 302 extends completely out of the box body 1. Before placing the sapling, fix the vertical partition plate 3071 inside the box body 1, insert the two rear insert plates 4 into the inner wall slots of the vertical partition plate 3071, and use the stabilizing mechanism 5 to hold the sapling branches. The operator places the sapling with roots into the two rear bottom pots 303. The inner wall of the bottom pot 303 is adapted to the root ball, and the sponge 304 adheres to the surface of the root ball to wrap and fix it. After the sapling is placed, insert the horizontal partition plate 3072 onto the vertical partition plate 3071, and insert the two front insert plates 4 into the vertical partition plate 3071. The inner wall slot of partition 3071 allows the sapling with roots to be placed into the two bottom basins 303 on the front side. After placement, push the slide plate 302 back along the slide rail 301 and inject an appropriate amount of clean water into the bottom of the box 1. One end of the water-absorbing rope 306 at the bottom of the bottom basin 303 contacts the sponge 304, and the other end hangs into the water at the bottom of the box. Water is transported to the sponge 304 through capillary action. After the sponge 304 absorbs water, it releases water to the root ball. Excess water flows back to the bottom of the box 1 through the drain hole 305 at the bottom of the bottom basin 303. When taking out the sapling, pull the slide plate 302 out along the slide rail 301. The bottom basin 303 moves out of the box 1 with the slide plate 302. The operator takes out the sapling from the bottom basin 303.

[0037] See attached document Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 5 The stabilizing mechanism 5 includes a fixing ring 501, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the insert plate 4, so that the fixing ring 501 and the insert plate 4 form a stable connection. A rotating ring 502 is rotatably connected to the front side of the fixing ring 501. The rotating ring 502 rotates around the fixing ring 501 to achieve opening and closing. A slot 503 is provided on the front side of the insert plate 4 as a channel for placing the tree trunk. A soft pad 504 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing ring 501. The soft pad 504 can prevent the fixing ring 501 from directly contacting the tree trunk and causing damage. A locking component 505 is provided on the outside of the fixing ring 501. The locking component 505 is used to lock and fix the fixing ring 501 and the rotating ring 502.

[0038] Specifically, before placing the sapling, the fixing ring 501 and the rotating ring 502 are in the open state. The bottom of the fixing ring 501 is fixedly connected to the top of the insert plate 4. The operator first inserts the roots of the sapling into the bottom pot 303, and then guides the trunk through the slot 503 on the front side of the insert plate 4, so that the trunk gradually approaches the inner wall of the fixing ring 501. When the trunk reaches the preset position, the rotating ring 502 is rotated to make it rotate around the connecting shaft on the front side of the fixing ring 501 until the free end of the rotating ring 502 aligns with the slot 503. The fixing ring 501 and the rotating ring 502 form a closed ring space, holding the trunk in place. Confined in the middle, the soft pad 504 on the inner wall of the fixing ring 501 contacts the surface of the tree trunk. The locking component 505 on the outside of the fixing ring 501 is operated to make the connection end of the fixing ring 501 and the rotating ring 502 fit tightly. The diameter of the annular space decreases with the degree of locking until a moderate pressure is formed between the soft pad 504 and the tree trunk. During transportation, the fixing ring 501 and the rotating ring 502 resist lateral impact force, and the soft pad 504 buffers longitudinal vibration. When taking out the sapling, the locking component 505 is operated in the opposite direction to release the pressure, and the rotating ring 502 is rotated to open the annular structure and take out the tree trunk from the slot 503.

[0039] See attached document Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 5 The guide assembly 308 includes a guide block 3081, which provides a guiding reference for the vertical partition plate 3071. The outer wall of the guide block 3081 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the housing 1, so that the guide block 3081 and the housing 1 form a stable connection. A guide groove 3082 is provided on the rear side of the outer wall of the vertical partition plate 3071. The guide groove 3082 slides along the guide block 3081 to realize the installation of the vertical partition plate 3071. The locking assembly 505 includes two latches 5051. The outer walls of the two latches 5051 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer walls of the fixing ring 501 and the rotating ring 502, so that the latches 5051 are linked with the fixing ring 501 and the rotating ring 502. The inner wall of 5051 is slidably connected to the same rope 5052. The rope 5052 tightens the two locking buckles 5051 to achieve fixation. The outer wall of the rope 5052 is slidably connected to a rope buckle 5053, which is used to lock the tightened state of the rope 5052. A water storage tank 6 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the box 1. The water storage tank 6 is used to store the water source required for replenishment. The top of the water storage tank 6 is connected to a water inlet 7, which is used to inject clean water into the water storage tank 6. A connecting port 8 is opened on the rear side of the outer wall of the box 1, which is used to allow the water storage tank 6 to communicate with the water inside the box 1. A splash guard 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1, which is used to prevent water from splashing inside the box.

[0040] Specifically, in the guide assembly 308, the guide block 3081 is fixed to the rear side of the inner wall of the box 1, and the guide groove 3082 of the vertical partition plate 3071 slides along the guide block 3081 to ensure that the vertical partition plate 3071 is installed accurately and avoids deviation. The two latches 5051 of the locking assembly 505 are fixed to the outer walls of the fixing ring 501 and the rotating ring 502 respectively. The rope 5052 is inserted into the latch 5051, and the sliding rope buckle 5053 is used to tighten the rope 5052 to lock the fixing ring 501 and the rotating ring 502. The water storage tank 6 is fixed to the rear side of the outer wall of the box 1 and water is injected through the water inlet 7. Since it forms a communication device with the box 1 through the communication port 8, when the water level in the box 1 reaches above the communication port 8, the water stops flowing in to keep the water level in the box stable. The splash plate 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the box to prevent the water in the box from shaking and splashing, and to ensure the stability of the seedling storage environment.

[0041] Working principle: When placing the sapling, first open the box door 2 and push the sliding plate 302 outward along the slide rail 301, so that the sliding plate 302 extends completely out of the box body 1. Before placing the sapling, first fix the vertical partition plate 3071 inside the box body 1, and then insert the two rear insert plates 4 into the inner wall slots of the vertical partition plate 3071. With the help of the stabilizing mechanism 5, the sapling branches are elastically clamped to ensure that the sapling is stable and does not shake during transportation. Then, the operator directly puts the sapling with roots into the box. Inside the two side pots 303, the inner wall of the pot 303 is adapted to the root ball, and the sponge 304 closely adheres to the surface of the root ball, using its own elasticity to wrap and fix the root ball, preventing soil from scattering during transportation. At the same time, the pull-out design of the sliding plate 302 significantly reduces the placement height, eliminating the need to bend over and reach into the box 1, improving the convenience of operation. After the sapling is placed, the horizontal partition plate 3072 is inserted into the vertical partition plate 3071 to form a grid-like partition, separating the adjacent pots 303. Separate the seedlings to prevent their branches and leaves from tangling. Then, insert the two front inserts 4 into the slots on the inner wall of the vertical divider 3071. Next, place the seedlings with roots into the two rear bottom trays 303. After placement, push the slide plate 302 back along the slide rail 301. Then, pre-fill the bottom of the box 1 with an appropriate amount of clean water. One end of the water-absorbing rope 306 at the bottom of the bottom tray 303 contacts the sponge 304, and the other end hangs into the water at the bottom of the box. Through capillary action, water is continuously transported to the sponge 304. After absorbing water, the cotton 304 remains moist and slowly releases water to the root ball, achieving continuous water replenishment. When the soil moisture is saturated, excess water flows back to the bottom of the box 1 through the drain hole 305 at the bottom of the bottom pot 303, avoiding water accumulation and root rot, forming a dynamic water circulation system. When taking out the seedling, the slide plate 302 is pulled out along the slide rail 301 again, and the bottom pot 303 moves out of the box 1 at the same time with the slide plate 302. The operator can directly take out the seedling from the bottom pot 303 without having to drag it in a narrow space.

[0042] Before placing the sapling, the fixing ring 501 and the rotating ring 502 are in the open state. The bottom of the fixing ring 501 is fixedly connected to the top of the insert plate 4, providing stable support for the entire mechanism. The operator first inserts the roots of the sapling into the bottom pot 303, and then guides the trunk from the slot 503 on the front side of the insert plate 4, so that the trunk gradually approaches the inner wall of the fixing ring 501. When the trunk reaches the preset position, the rotating ring 502 is rotated to rotate around the connecting shaft on the front side of the fixing ring 501 until the free end of the rotating ring 502 aligns with the slot 503. At this time, the fixing ring 501 and the rotating ring 502 form a closed annular space, restricting the trunk in the middle. The soft pad 504 on the inner wall of the fixing ring 501 contacts the surface of the trunk. The soft pad 504 can adapt to the deformation of the trunk diameter, which not only avoids the squeezing damage to the bark caused by rigid contact, but also allows friction to work. The radial movement of the tree trunk is restricted. Then, the locking component 505 outside the fixing ring 501 is operated to make the connection end of the fixing ring 501 and the rotating ring 502 fit tightly. The diameter of the annular space gradually decreases with the degree of locking until a moderate pressure is formed between the soft pad 504 and the tree trunk, thereby fixing tree trunks of different thicknesses. During transportation, when the device is bumped or tilted, the rigid frame formed by the fixing ring 501 and the rotating ring 502 resists the lateral impact force and prevents the tree trunk from shaking significantly. The soft pad 504 buffers the longitudinal vibration through its own elasticity, avoiding direct collision between the tree trunk and metal parts, which would cause damage to the bark. If it is necessary to remove the seedling, the locking component 505 is operated in reverse to release the pressure, and the rotating ring 502 is rotated to open the annular structure, so that the tree trunk can be removed from the slot 503. The whole process does not require the assistance of tools, is convenient to operate, and can effectively protect the seedling.

[0043] 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.
