Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yam planting equipment technology, specifically to an integrated yam planting frame that combines scaffolding and drip irrigation functions. Background Technology

[0002] Yam, a plant belonging to the genus Dioscorea in the family Dioscoreaceae, is an ancient crop used for both medicinal and culinary purposes, with a cultivation history of 2000 years. Its tubers are rich in protein, amino acids, vitamins, and starch, and have the effects of strengthening the spleen, consolidating essence, nourishing the lungs and kidneys, making it highly valuable for both food and medicine.

[0003] In related technologies, a search revealed a yam planting device disclosed in patent CN206165294U, which includes a container, a support frame for the container, and a planting body. The container is open at the top and has several openings and drainage holes at the bottom. The upper end of the planting body extends into the container through the openings, and the lower end rests against the support frame. The planting body includes an inner layer and an outer layer that wraps around the inner layer. A slit is provided along the length of the inner layer, and slots are provided on both sides of the slit. A flexible cover component is held in the slots. The outer layer surrounds the inner layer and is fastened to the outside of the inner layer with fasteners. This device occupies a small area, making it suitable for urban residents to grow yams on their own balconies, and it facilitates the harvesting of yams.

[0004] However, with this planting frame, since yams grow vertically, fertilization, watering, and pesticide application can all be done manually with a watering can. However, when watering yams, it is not easy to control the volume of the irrigation liquid, resulting in some plants receiving too much liquid and others receiving too little. Since the volume of the plant is constant, this can lead to problems such as leaf scorch, root damage, and tuber deformities caused by excessive pesticide dosage in certain areas, thus affecting the growth and quality of the yams and resulting in significant differences in the quality of the mature yams. To solve the above problems, an integrated yam planting frame with both frame construction and drip irrigation functions is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an integrated yam planting frame with scaffolding and drip irrigation functions. The present invention uses a watering can to pour irrigation liquid into a measuring cylinder, stopping when the required specified mark is reached. Then, the valve is opened to complete the precise dispensing, so that the yams in the planting tube can all receive the same amount of pesticide, fertilizer and water. This prevents pesticide damage problems such as leaf scorch, root damage and tuber deformity caused by excessive local dosage of pesticides, thereby stabilizing the growth and quality of yams and making the quality of mature yams more uniform.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an integrated yam planting frame with scaffolding and drip irrigation functions, including multiple planting tubes installed inside the planting box, a breathable plate installed at the bottom of the planting box, a support component installed on the surface of the multiple planting tubes, a breathable groove installed at the bottom of each planting tube, an irrigation hopper installed at the top of each planting tube, an irrigation pipe installed on the side of each irrigation hopper away from the center of the planting box, and a liquid storage device installed at the top of each irrigation pipe.

[0007] The irrigation hopper is shaped like an inverted frustum, with a cavity in the middle that connects to the top of the planting tube.

[0008] The irrigation pipe is inclinedly embedded in the irrigation hopper. The liquid storage device includes a connecting pipe that is connected to the liquid inlet end of the irrigation pipe. The connecting pipe is used to install a valve, which controls the liquid discharge of the metering cylinder. The connecting pipe is equipped with a valve, and the liquid inlet end of the connecting pipe is equipped with a liquid discharge hopper. The liquid discharge hopper is used to guide the irrigation liquid in the liquid discharge hopper into the irrigation pipe. The top of the liquid discharge hopper is connected to a metering cylinder, which is used to store the liquid to be irrigated.

[0009] The measuring cylinder is made of transparent and corrosion-resistant material. A scale line is set on one side of the measuring cylinder, which is used to measure and record the liquid level inside the measuring cylinder.

[0010] The outer wall of the planting tube is equipped with an insulation jacket, which is used to fill the insulation cotton pad. The insulation jacket is a hollow cylindrical shape, and the insulation cotton pad is placed inside the insulation jacket to keep the yam inside the planting tube warm.

[0011] The bottom of the ventilation groove has several ventilation holes, which are used to ensure the yam roots can breathe, promote tuber development, drain excess water, and prevent waterlogging and root rot.

[0012] The support assembly includes multiple support plates, each with multiple positioning holes. Each positioning hole is fixedly connected to the outer wall of its corresponding insulation jacket. Each support plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the planting box. The support plates are used to connect the planting tube to the planting box.

[0013] A sealing box is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the ventilation groove. The sealing box is used to install and seal the temperature and humidity sensor to prevent soil and water from entering the planting tube. The temperature and humidity sensor is installed inside the sealing box, and the probe of the temperature and humidity sensor extends out of the top of the sealing box. An opening is provided on the side of the sealing box away from the middle of the planting box. The opening is used to install and fix the conduit. The opening passes through the planting tube and the planting box. A conduit for connecting cables is sealed and fixed inside the opening.

[0014] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Pour the irrigation solution into the measuring cylinder using a watering can, stopping when the desired mark is reached. Then, open the valve to complete the precise dispensing, ensuring that all yams in the planting tube receive the same amount of pesticide, fertilizer, and water. This prevents pesticide damage such as leaf scorch, root damage, and tuber deformities caused by excessive local dosage, thus stabilizing the growth and quality of the yams. This allows even those who have never grown yams before to successfully cultivate them by following the planting instructions and pesticide / irrigation ratios, resulting in more consistent quality of mature yams.

[0015] 2. The insulation jacket is used to fill the insulation cotton pad. The insulation cotton pad is a flexible cylindrical pad. The insulation cotton pad is used to keep the yam in the planting tube warm and prevent the cold air in winter from freezing the yam.

[0016] 3. The ventilation holes are used to ensure the respiration of the yam roots, promote tuber development, drain excess water, and prevent waterlogging and root rot. Attached Figure Description
