[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedling cultivation, and in particular to a seedling cultivation device that can automatically water seedlings. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as agricultural planting, forestry afforestation, and urban greening, seedling cultivation is the core link to ensure the survival rate of seedlings and realize large-scale planting. High-quality seedling cultivation requires providing seedlings with a stable nutrient soil environment and appropriate water supply. At the same time, after the seedlings mature, they need to be removed from the cultivation device and transplanted.

[0003] Current seedling cultivation methods typically involve using fixed-structure seedling pots or boxes to hold nutrient soil for planting and cultivation. However, most current equipment adopts an integrated design, with the nutrient soil directly filled into a sealed or semi-sealed container. After the seedlings mature, they need to be manually separated from the soil using tools such as shovels. This process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, affecting the efficiency of seedling cultivation and transplanting. Furthermore, the operation can easily scratch the seedling roots, causing the nutrient soil to scatter and the roots to be exposed, reducing the transplant survival rate. It can also easily damage the seedling containers, increasing costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a seedling cultivation device that can hold nutrient soil for planting and cultivating seedlings, facilitate the removal and transplanting of seedlings after cultivation, be easy to operate, allow for the reuse of cultivation troughs, and improve the efficiency of seedling cultivation and transplanting, and has automatic watering capability.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this does not limit the scope of protection and application of the present invention.

[0022] An automatic watering device for cultivating seedlings, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the system includes a cultivation frame 1, an inlet pipe 2, a water pump 3, a placement rack 4, cultivation troughs 5, flexible hoses 6, drip irrigation heads 7, a filter plate 8, a water outlet 9, a baffle plate 10, a material handling component, and a drive component. The inlet pipe 2 is connected to the upper part of the cultivation frame 1, and the water pump 3 is connected to the right side of the inlet pipe 2. The placement rack 4 is connected to the upper inner side of the cultivation frame 1, and twelve cultivation troughs 5 are slidably connected to the placement rack 4. Three flexible hoses 6 are connected to the front and rear sides of the inlet pipe 2, and drip irrigation heads 7 are connected to each flexible hose 6. Each drip irrigation head 7 is connected to an adjacent cultivation trough 5 and is in contact with the placement rack 4. The filter plate 8 is connected to the lower inner side of the cultivation frame 1, and the water outlet 9 is connected to the lower right side of the cultivation frame 1 to facilitate the drainage of excess water. The baffle plate 10 is slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the cultivation frame 1 for protection and to prevent accidental contact. A material handling component is provided between the cultivation troughs 5 and the placement rack 4 to facilitate the removal of seedlings. A drive component is provided on the cultivation frame 1.

[0023] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the material handling assembly includes a guide frame 11, a first telescopic spring 12, a wedge block 13, a slide rod 14, and a guide plate 15. Twelve guide frames 11 are slidably connected to the lower side of the placement frame 4. Each culture tank 5 is slidably connected to an adjacent guide frame 11. A first telescopic spring 12 is connected between each culture tank 5 and an adjacent guide frame 11. A wedge block 13 is connected to each culture tank 5. A slide rod 14 is connected to the side of each culture tank 5 near the adjacent shielding plate 10. Guide plates 15 are connected to the lower sides of both the front and rear parts of the placement frame 4. The slide rod 14 is slidably connected to the adjacent guide plate 15. Each guide plate 15 has two sliding grooves for easy movement.

[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the drive assembly includes a squeezing frame 16, rollers 17, and a second telescopic spring 18. The squeezing frame 16 is slidably connected to both the front and rear sides of the culture frame 1. Two rollers 17 are rotatably connected to each squeezing frame 16. Each roller 17 is in contact with an adjacent wedge block 13. The second telescopic spring 18 is connected between each squeezing frame 16 and the culture frame 1.

[0025] This device can be used when seedlings need to be cultivated and automatically watered. The cultivation frame 1 is placed on a support, and then nutrient soil is sequentially placed into the cultivation trough 5. The seedlings are then planted in the nutrient soil for cultivation. Next, an external water source is connected through the water inlet pipe 2, and the water pump 3 is activated, allowing water to flow into the water inlet pipe 2, then into the flexible hose 6, and finally out through the drip irrigation head 7, watering the seedlings in the nutrient soil. The water and the cultivation trough 5 work together to form a complete soil ball. Excess water flows out of the cultivation trough 5, through the filter plate 8, and into the lower part of the placement frame 4, exiting through the water outlet 9 for collection. This allows for automatic watering of multiple seedlings while facilitating the drainage of excess water, reducing manual intervention, preventing root rot, improving watering efficiency, and increasing seedling survival rate. After watering, the water pump 3 is turned off, and the above operation is repeated periodically to water the seedlings. After cultivation is complete, the cover plate 10 is pulled open by hand, and the compression frame 16 is pushed by hand, stretching the second extension spring 18 and causing the roller 17 to move. Pushing the wedge block 13 upwards causes the cultivation trough 5 to move upwards along the guide frame 11. The first telescopic spring 12 is compressed, causing the slide rod 14 to move upwards along the groove on the guide plate 15. This causes the cultivation trough 5, guide frame 11, and wedge block 13 to move and unfold, separating the cultivation trough 5 from the nutrient soil. The seedling with soil is then removed for transplanting. After removal, the compression frame 16 is released, the second telescopic spring 18 rebounds, and the compression frame 16 and roller 17 move back to their original positions. The first telescopic spring 12 rebounds, and the slide rod 14, cultivation trough 5, guide frame 11, and wedge block 13 move back to their original positions, closing the cultivation trough 5. The above operation is repeated to remove seedlings from other cultivation troughs 5. The shielding plate 10 is then pushed to move back to its original position for protection and to prevent accidental contact. New seedlings are then cultivated. This allows for the storage of nutrient soil for planting and cultivation of seedlings while facilitating the removal and transplanting of cultivated seedlings. The operation is simple, allowing for the reuse of the cultivation trough 5 and improving the efficiency of seedling cultivation and transplanting. Seedlings can then be cultivated again.

Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or changes to the above embodiments without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but should be the maximum scope that conforms to the innovative features mentioned in the claims.
