Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is a water-saving vegetable seedling tray, belonging to the technical field of seedling trays. Background Technology

[0002] Seedling trays, also known as plug trays, are an important tool used in industrialized seedling production processes. Whether for flowers or vegetables, plug tray seedling cultivation represents a fundamental revolution in modern horticulture, ensuring rapid and large-scale production. Common materials used to manufacture plug trays include polystyrene foam, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene.

[0003] Existing seedling trays have certain drawbacks. When cultivating vegetables in existing seedling trays, seedlings need to be watered regularly. During watering, some water seeps into the soil substrate through the seedling cups for the seedlings to absorb, while some water remains on the seedling tray around the holes. This water cannot be absorbed by the seedlings and eventually evaporates on the seedling tray. Furthermore, after the soil substrate is saturated, excess water in the seedling cups flows out from the bottom drainage holes, which not only wastes water resources but also damages the soil substrate and affects seedling growth. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a water-saving vegetable seedling tray to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water-saving vegetable seedling tray to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. The utility model has a reasonable structure, which can not only treat and recycle excess water in the seedling cup to avoid waste of water resources, but also effectively maintain the nutrients of the soil substrate.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water-saving vegetable seedling tray, comprising a seedling cup portion, a base tray portion, and a water-saving system. The seedling cup portion is placed on the base tray portion, and a water-saving system is provided in the area below the base tray portion. The seedling cup portion includes a seedling cup body, a groove, ventilation holes, drainage holes, and a fine mesh. A drainage hole is provided at the center of the bottom of the seedling cup body, and a fine mesh is arranged on the drainage hole. Multiple ventilation holes are also provided around the drainage hole. Two grooves are provided on the left side of the seedling cup body. The base tray portion includes a base tray main frame, a placement groove, a bottom sleeve, and a support plate. The base plate has multiple placement slots on its surface, and each placement slot has a bottom sleeve at its bottom. Several support plates are evenly assembled on the bottom surface of the base plate, and each support plate has a triangular pad at its bottom. Each support plate has a low-position sleeve and a high-position sleeve on its side, and each low-position sleeve and high-position sleeve on the support plate is located on the same side. The water-saving system includes a water inlet pipe, a water collection pipe, and a water outlet. The water inlet pipe is arranged on the low-position sleeve and high-position sleeve on the side of the support plate, and each water inlet pipe is connected to the water collection pipe. The water collection pipe has a water outlet in the middle.

[0006] Furthermore, the water collection pipe is installed at one end of the low-position jacket connecting each water inlet pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the length of the water inlet pipe meets the length requirements of the main body of the seedling cups in the same vertical column on the base plate main frame, and the water inlet pipe is located directly below the drainage hole of the seedling cup body.

[0008] Furthermore, the dimensions of the low-position jacket and the high-position jacket are just right to clamp the bottom side of the water pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the triangular pads on the bottom side of the support plate are symmetrically distributed with the center as the reference point.

[0010] Furthermore, the top left side of the seedling cup body is higher than the right side, forming an inclined layout with the left side higher than the right side, and the inner diameter of the two grooves on the left side is sized to fit a finger.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a water-saving vegetable seedling tray. Because it adds a groove, a dense net, a triangular pad, a low-position clip, a high-position clip, a water inlet pipe, and a water collection pipe, the main body of the seedling cup is designed to be higher on the left and lower on the right. The groove is set on the upper left side, which helps to make it easy to hold the main body of the seedling cup by hand when picking it up and carrying it. The triangular pad is symmetrically distributed on the support plate, which helps to ensure uniform stability when the two sides are placed. The water inlet pipe is held by two clips with different heights, which helps to keep the water inlet pipe at an inclination of lower front and higher back, so as to realize the recycling of water resources seeping from the drainage hole at the bottom of the seedling cup.

Detailed Implementation

[0013] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0014] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a water-saving vegetable seedling tray, including a seedling cup part 1, a base plate part 2, and a water-saving system 3. The seedling cup part 1 is placed on the base plate part 2, and the water-saving system 3 is provided in the area below the base plate part 2. The seedling cup part 1 includes a seedling cup body 11, a groove 12, a ventilation hole 13, a drainage hole 14, and a dense mesh 15. A drainage hole 14 is provided at the center of the bottom of the seedling cup body 11, and a dense mesh 15 is arranged on the drainage hole 14. Multiple ventilation holes 13 are also provided around the drainage hole 14. Two grooves 12 are provided on the left side of the seedling cup body 11. The base plate part 2 includes a base plate main frame 21, a placement groove 22, a bottom sleeve 23, a support plate 24, a triangular pad 25, and a low-position clamping sleeve 26. The base plate main frame 21 has multiple placement slots 22 on its surface, and each placement slot 22 has a bottom sleeve 23 at its bottom. Several support plates 24 are evenly assembled on the bottom surface of the base plate main frame 21, and each support plate 24 has a triangular pad 25 at its bottom. Each support plate 24 has a low-position sleeve 26 and a high-position sleeve 27 on its side, and each low-position sleeve 26 and high-position sleeve 27 on the support plate 24 is located on the same side. The water-saving system 3 includes a water inlet pipe 31, a water collection pipe 32 and a water outlet 33. The water inlet pipe 31 is arranged on the low-position sleeve 26 and high-position sleeve 27 on the side of the support plate 24, and each water inlet pipe 31 is connected to the water collection pipe 32. The water collection pipe 32 has a water outlet 33 in the middle.

[0015] As the first embodiment of this utility model: the top left side of the seedling cup body 11 is higher than the right side, with a left-high-right-low tilted layout, and the inner diameter of the two buckle grooves 12 on the left side is large enough to fit a finger. This design, with the seedling cup body 11 designed to be higher on the left and lower on the right, helps to leave enough space to set the buckle grooves 12, making it convenient to hold the seedling cup body 11 by hand when picking it up and carrying it. The triangular pads 25 on the bottom side of the support plate 24 are symmetrically distributed with the center as the reference. This design, with the triangular pads 25 symmetrically distributed, helps to ensure uniform stability when placed on both sides. The size of the low-position clamp 26 and the high-position clamp 27 is just right to clamp the bottom side of the water pipe 31. This design uses two clamps with varying heights to hold the water inlet pipe 31, which helps maintain the inlet pipe 31 at a lower front and higher back, facilitating water collection during recycling. The length of the water inlet pipe 31 meets the length requirements of the same vertical row of seedling cup bodies 11 on the base plate main frame 21, and the water inlet pipe 31 is located directly below the drainage hole 14 of the seedling cup body 11. The water collection pipe 32 is installed at one end of each water inlet pipe 31 connected to the lower clamp 26. This design connects multiple water inlet pipes 31 using the water collection pipe 32, which helps to collect and recycle the water resources guided by each row of seedling cup bodies 11 on the base plate main frame 21, saving water resources and avoiding waste.

[0016] As a second embodiment of this utility model: When cultivating vegetables using seedling trays, the seedling soil substrate is placed inside each seedling cup body 11, and then a certain amount of seeds are placed in each seedling cup body 11. Afterwards, each seedling cup body 11 is placed into the placement groove 22 within the base tray main frame 21. The seedling cup body 11 is secured by friction from the bottom sleeve 23 within the placement groove 22, allowing it to be stably placed on the base tray main frame 21. Then, the vegetable seeds are quantitatively watered. The cultivator uses a syringe to directly inject water into the seedling cup body 11, reducing water waste on the base tray main frame 21. The water injected into the seedling cup body 11 is fully absorbed by the soil substrate, and... The remaining water will seep out from the drainage hole 14 at the bottom. This seeping water will drip into the water inlet pipe 31 below. Since the water inlet pipe 31 is clamped and fixed by the two jackets 26 and 27, the water inlet pipe 31 is inclined with the front lower and the back higher. The seeping water will flow along the water inlet pipe 31 into the water collection pipe 32 in front. Each row of seedling cups 11 on the base plate main frame 21 is recycled by a water inlet pipe 31. The dense net 15 set in the drainage hole 14 will intercept the soil substrate to prevent the soil substrate from seeping out with the water and causing nutrient loss. Finally, the outlet 33 in the water collection pipe 32 collects the recycled water resources for reuse.

[0017] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model.
