[0028] 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.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides an intelligent seedling raising device for planting rosemary, including a seedling box 1, which provides a closed environment for seedling raising and facilitates the control of overall environmental parameters. The seedling box 1 is equipped with seedling racks 2 arranged vertically, which can realize multi-layer seedling raising and improve space utilization. The seedling racks 2 are connected to a substrate temperature control component 3, which is used to precisely control the temperature of the seedling substrate and ensure suitable growth temperature conditions for rosemary roots. The substrate temperature control component 3 is located on the seedling box 1. A root monitoring component 4 is located below the seedling racks 2, which can monitor the root growth status in real time and non-invasively, providing a basis for adjusting the cultivation strategy. The root monitoring component 4 is located inside the seedling box 1.

[0030] Specifically, the seedling rack 2 includes a base plate 21, and a grid rack 22 is provided on the top of the base plate 21. The grid rack 22 and the base plate 21 together form a substrate trough 23, which is used to hold the seedling substrate and provide a growth carrier for rosemary seedlings.

[0031] Furthermore, the substrate temperature control component 3 includes a hot air channel 31 formed within the grid frame 22. Through the horizontal and vertical channel layout, uniform distribution of hot air is achieved. A heat exchange plate 32 is embedded in the inner wall of the substrate tank 23, enabling efficient heat transfer from the hot air to the substrate within the tank 23, ensuring uniform substrate temperature. The heat exchange plate 32 has the hot air channel 31 and the substrate tank 23 on either side. The hot air channel 31 is connected to a hot air inlet 33 and a hot air outlet 34. The hot air inlet 33 is connected to an air inlet pipe 35, and a heat pump 36 is connected to the end of the air inlet pipe 35 to provide power for hot air circulation. The inlet of 6 is connected to a heater 37 via a pipe to heat the air and generate hot air at a suitable temperature. The inlet of the heater 37 is connected to an air outlet pipe 38, and the end of the air outlet pipe 38 is connected to a hot air outlet 34. Through the synergistic effect of the above components, the hot air can circulate in the hot air channel 31, precisely and evenly regulating the temperature of the substrate in the substrate tank 23, so that the substrate is stably maintained in the 20-25℃ range suitable for rosemary rooting. This effectively solves the problems of large temperature fluctuations and uneven heating of the substrate in traditional seedling cultivation, which lead to slow rooting and low survival rate, and significantly promotes root cell division and nutrient absorption.

[0032] Furthermore, the hot air channel 31 includes a transverse channel 311 and a longitudinal channel 312 that are interconnected. The two ends of the transverse channel 311 are connected to the longitudinal channel 312, and the rear ends of the two longitudinal channels 312 are respectively connected to the hot air inlet 33 and the hot air outlet 34. This crisscross channel structure allows the hot air to flow more evenly through the heat exchange plate 32, further improving the uniformity of the substrate temperature.

[0033] It is worth noting that an installation plate 5 is installed above the seedling rack 2, and evenly distributed daylight lamps 6 are installed at the bottom of the installation plate 5. This provides uniform light to the rosemary seedlings on each layer of the seedling rack 2, avoiding insufficient light for the lower layer plants when raising seedlings in multiple layers, and ensuring the uniformity of seedling growth.

[0034] It is worth noting that the root monitoring component 4 includes a transparent window 41 embedded in the base plate 21, providing a visual window for root observation. The root condition can be viewed without damaging the substrate. The transparent window 41 is positioned corresponding to the substrate trough 23. A lateral displacement structure 42 is provided below the transparent window 41. The lateral displacement structure 42 is connected to a longitudinal displacement structure 43. The longitudinal displacement structure 43 is connected to a camera 44 for capturing root images and monitoring root growth status. Through the cooperation of the lateral displacement structure 42 and the longitudinal displacement structure 43, the camera 44 can accurately scan every root in the substrate trough 23, achieving non-invasive, full-range dynamic monitoring. This avoids the damage to the root system caused by traditional manual seedling pulling and observation, and can provide real-time feedback on root length, density, and health status, providing a scientific basis for subsequent adjustments to cultivation parameters such as temperature, humidity, water, and fertilizer. This helps to intervene in abnormal root growth in a timely manner, reduce root rot and weak root phenomena, and improve the seedling vigor rate.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that the lateral displacement structure 42 includes a first lead screw 421 and a first guide rod 422. One end of the first lead screw 421 passes through the seedling box 1 and is connected to a first motor 423 to provide power for lateral displacement. A first displacement block 424 is connected between the first lead screw 421 and the first guide rod 422. The first lead screw 421 is threadedly connected to the first displacement block 424, and the first guide rod 422 passes through the first displacement block 424. When the first motor 423 drives the first lead screw 421 to rotate, the first displacement block 424 can stably and accurately achieve lateral displacement along the first guide rod 422, providing power support for the lateral scanning of the camera 44.

[0036] It is worth emphasizing that the longitudinal displacement structure 43 includes a movable bracket 431 located on top of the first displacement block 424. The movable bracket 431 is equipped with a corresponding second lead screw 432 and a second guide rod 433. One end of the second lead screw 432 is connected to a second motor 434 to provide power for the longitudinal displacement. A second displacement block 435 is connected between the second lead screw 432 and the second guide rod 433. The second lead screw 432 is threadedly connected to the second displacement block 435, and the second guide rod 433 passes through the second displacement block 435. The camera 44 is mounted on top of the second displacement block 435. When the second motor 434 drives the second lead screw 432 to rotate, the second displacement block 435 can achieve stable and precise longitudinal displacement along the second guide rod 433. In conjunction with the transverse displacement structure 42, the camera 44 can perform comprehensive and precise scanning and monitoring of the root system in the substrate trench 23.

[0037] Among them, the heat pump 36, heater 37, first motor 423, second motor 434, and daylight lamp 6 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail; at the same time, this utility model also includes power supply, controller and switch, etc., which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail.

[0038] Working principle and process: First, rosemary seedling substrate is filled into the substrate trough 23 of the seedling rack 2. The seedling box 1 provides a closed cultivation environment to stabilize the internal conditions. Then, the substrate temperature control component 3 is activated. After the heater 37 heats the air to a suitable temperature, the heat pump 36 pushes the hot air through the air inlet duct 35 and the hot air inlet 33 into the hot air channel 31. The hot air flows evenly in the horizontal channel 311 and the vertical channel 312. The heat is transferred to the substrate in the substrate trough 23 through the heat exchange plate 32, so that the substrate temperature is stably maintained in the range of 20-25℃ required for rosemary rooting. The hot air after heat exchange is then returned to the heater 37 through the hot air outlet 34 and the air outlet duct 38 to complete the circulation. At the same time, the daylight lamp 6 at the bottom of the mounting plate 5 above the seedling rack 2 is turned on to provide uniform light for the rosemary seedlings in each layer, meeting their needs. To meet the light requirements for growth, the root monitoring component 4 operates continuously during the seedling cultivation process. The first motor 423 drives the first lead screw 421 to rotate, causing the first displacement block 424 to move laterally along the first guide rod 422. The second motor 434 drives the second lead screw 432 to rotate, causing the second displacement block 435 to move longitudinally along the second guide rod 433. This allows the camera 44, mounted on top of the second displacement block 435, to perform a full-range scan and monitoring of the rosemary roots in the substrate trough 23 through the transparent window 41 on the base plate 21, acquiring real-time data on root length, density, and health status. If abnormal root growth or substrate temperature deviates from the suitable range, the heating power and hot air circulation rate of the substrate temperature control component 3 can be adjusted in a timely manner to ensure that the rosemary seedlings are always in the optimal cultivation environment until the seedling cultivation process is completed.
