Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of planting box technology, and in particular relates to a vapor mist planting box device. Background Technology

[0002] Aerial spraying is a method of planting that uses mist generators or similar devices to create a mist containing water or a prepared nutrient solution, providing nutrients, especially for seedlings, to their growth. Currently, aerial spraying technology is widely used in environments such as greenhouses. It involves spraying the plant with misting nozzles installed inside the greenhouse.

[0003] However, in actual work, the cultivation of new plant varieties (or plant seedlings that are not cold or heat resistant) is often carried out in planting boxes. In the planting box, the relatively sealed environment not only serves to keep the plant warm, but also isolates the plant seedlings from pests.

[0004] In existing technologies, a shelf is installed inside the planting box to hold the seedlings. However, this method has a drawback: when manual intervention is needed to manage the seedlings or record experimental data, the confined space of the box makes this difficult. This includes tasks such as measuring the rootstock and supplementing nutrients to the seedlings.

[0005] Therefore, in actual work, experimental operation records and artificial intervention in the cultivation of seedlings, especially experimental seedlings, are more frequent.

[0006] Therefore, a planting box that is easy to operate and allows for simple, quick, and convenient artificial intervention in experimental seedling cultivation will greatly improve the efficiency of planting, cultivation, and artificial breeding operations. Utility Model Content

[0007] Based on the above background, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vapor mist planting box device.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A vapor-powered planting box device includes a planting box and a plurality of planting chamber mechanisms that are slidably installed inside the planting box. The planting chamber mechanism includes a cultivation chamber and a support frame for mounting the cultivation chamber. The support frame is slidably mounted inside the planting box via a slide rail structure. It also includes an electric actuation structure for moving the planting chamber mechanism. It also includes a cover structure mounted on a support, the cover structure including a cover that can open and close the incubation chamber; It also includes a mist delivery pipe for conveying mist; several mist channels are provided on the inner side wall of the planting box; The top of the cover plate is connected to a steam mist inlet structure.

[0009] Preferably, the support has an installation port for installing the culture chamber, and the support and the culture chamber are fastened together by a number of countersunk screws.

[0011] Preferably, the rail wheel groove structure includes an upper groove and a lower groove, with the upper and lower ends of the small rail wheel respectively limiting its rolling within the upper and lower grooves.

[0012] Preferably, the electric propulsion structure includes electric push rods respectively installed on both sides of the culture chamber; A support is fixedly installed on the side wall of the culture chamber, and the pushing end of the electric push rod is fixedly installed on the support. The electric push rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the planting box.

[0013] Preferably, the cover plate is slidably mounted on top of the bracket via a sliding structure.

[0014] Preferably, the sliding structure includes slide rails that are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the bracket; Limiting grooves are provided on the sidewalls of the slide rails facing each other, and the cover plate slides within the limiting grooves; a protruding handle for pushing the cover plate to slide is fixedly connected to the top outer side of the cover plate.

[0015] Preferably, the steam mist inlet structure includes a steam mist well connected to the top of the cover plate, and a baffle net is fixedly installed at the bottom of the steam mist well.

[0016] Preferably, the vapor delivery pipe is connected to the top of the planting box; The vapor delivery pipe is a spring tube, and the vapor delivery pipe is connected to the fog generator; After the mist enters the planting box, it flows from top to bottom into the cultivation chamber through the mist channel; The bottom of the planting box is equipped with a water trough, and the bottom plate inside the planting box has a water inlet hole that connects to the water trough.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model is an improvement on the existing planting box. By installing a cultivation chamber that can be easily pushed out of the planting box, the operator can easily push out the cultivation chamber in real time during the operation, so as to facilitate the operator to manually intervene and maintain the plant. This solves the technical drawback of the traditional method of installing shelves in the planting box, which is difficult to operate in the narrow box environment.

[0018] 2. The cultivation chamber utilizes a structure consisting of a support frame, small wheels, tracks, and an electric push rod to open the cabinet door.

[0026] Example 1 like Figure 1-6 As shown, a vapor-fed planting box device includes a planting box 1, which opens and closes in the same way as existing planting boxes 1. The planting box 1 is hinged to a cabinet door 11, which locks in the same way as existing cabinet doors 11 after closing. For example, the cabinet door can be opened and closed by installing a door handle lock (not shown in the figure) on the cabinet door and correspondingly opening a lock groove on the side wall of the planting box 1. Alternatively, the structure of opening and closing the cabinet door using a magnetic attraction method disclosed in the prior art can be directly adopted.

[0027] The planting box 1 operates similarly to existing planting boxes, cultivating seedlings within its enclosure. The relatively sealed environment of planting box 1 enhances cultivation efficiency. Essential growth materials such as carbon dioxide, water mist, and nutrient solution are added to the box, creating a sufficient atmosphere to support plant growth. Furthermore, planting box 1 provides a relatively warm growing environment.

[0028] To facilitate the easy and convenient removal of the seedling cultivation chamber 32 from the planting box 1 during the seedling cultivation process, and to enable artificial intervention in seedling care and the recording of seedling growth status such as measuring root and stem length, seedling leaf size, recording seedling growth data, and supplementing seedlings with necessary mineral fertilizers, this invention improves upon the traditional planting box 1 as follows: Specifically, the vapor-powered planting box 1 also includes several planting chamber mechanisms 3 that are slidably installed inside the planting box 1. The planting chamber mechanisms 3 are distributed vertically at the height of the planting box 1, and the specific number of them is determined by the storage volume of the planting box 1. For example, for a large-capacity planting box 1, the number of planting chamber mechanisms 3 can be increased.

[0029] The planting chamber mechanism 3 includes a cultivation chamber 32 and a support 31 (aluminum alloy frame) for mounting the cultivation chamber 32. Specifically, the support 31 has an installation port for mounting the cultivation chamber 32, and the support 31 and the cultivation chamber 32 are fastened together by several countersunk screws. The support 31 is slidably mounted in the planting box 1 via a slide rail structure.

[0030] Specifically, the slide rail structure includes several small rail wheels 35 rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the support 31. Correspondingly, tracks 33 that mate with the small rail wheels 35 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the planting box 1. The tracks 33 have rail wheel grooves that mate with the small rail wheels 35. The rail wheel groove structure includes an upper groove and a lower groove, and the upper and lower ends of the small rail wheels 35 are respectively limited and rolled within the upper groove and the lower groove.

[0031] The above structure enables the small track wheel 35 to roll within the track wheel groove structure using a limiting mechanism, thus preventing the cultivation chamber 32 from derailing from the track 33 during the pushing and pulling process.

[0032] Secondly, the use of small track wheels with a 35-degree rolling motion makes pushing easier.

[0033] Specifically, it also includes an electric propulsion structure for moving the cultivation chamber mechanism 3; specifically, the electric propulsion structure includes electric push rods 34 respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the cultivation chamber 32; wherein, the electric push rods 34 are conventional electric telescopic rods disclosed in the prior art.

[0034] Correspondingly, a support 341 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cultivation chamber 32, and the pushing end of the electric push rod 34 is fixedly installed on the support 341; the electric push rod 34 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the planting box 1.

[0035] During operation, the cultivation chamber 32 is pushed by the electric push rods 34 on both sides. Since the pushing length of the electric push rods 34 is limited, the cultivation chamber 32 will not be pushed indefinitely after it has moved the length of the planting box 1, thus effectively preventing the cultivation chamber 32 and the support 31 from derailing.

[0036] Therefore, in actual operation, an electric push rod 34 with a suitable push stroke range is selected according to the width of the planting box 1 and the width of the cultivation chamber 32.

[0037] During operation, when the operator opens the cabinet door 11, the electric push rod 34 pushes the cultivation chamber 32 outward toward the outside of the planting box 1. After being pushed out of the planting box 1, it is convenient for the operator to record and observe the cultivated seedlings, and also convenient for the operator to perform manual intervention operations such as fertilization.

[0038] Example 2 like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on the structure of Embodiment 1, in actual operation, the control switch button for controlling the operation of the electric push rod 34 can be installed on the outer wall of the planting box 1 in the existing manner, so that the operator can control the operation of the electric push rod 34 through the button switch.

[0039] In actual operation, each cultivation chamber 32 is propelled by a pair of electric push rods 34 (each electric push rod 34 has a thrust of 10-20 kg), thus enabling it to move at least 30-40 kg of cultivation chamber 32 (including the nutrient soil and other materials inside the cultivation chamber 32).

[0040] Synchronous operation of each pair of electric actuators 34 is a conventional method disclosed in the prior art. For example, the synchronous operation of electric actuators 34 can be controlled by the circuit structure (switch) of electric actuators 34. The method is the same as the existing synchronous operation circuit structure of multiple electric actuators 34, in which the electric actuators 34 are connected in series, and the switch button is controlled on the branch of the series circuit to synchronously control the electric actuators 34.

[0041] Example 3 like Figure 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, based on the structure of embodiment 2, in order to improve the planting and cultivation efficiency during the actual planting process, a mist delivery pipe 2 that connects to the chamber of planting box 1 is installed on the top of planting box 1 in accordance with the existing method.

[0042] The vapor delivery pipe 2 is a spring pipe, and in the existing way, the vapor delivery pipe 2 is connected to the fog generator; the fog generator is a fog generator commonly used in the existing plant cultivation process (not shown in the figure), which is used to form atomized water vapor such as water or prepared nutrient solution.

[0043] Meanwhile, since the cultivation chambers 32 are distributed vertically and horizontally within the planting box 1, in order to ensure that each cultivation chamber 32 can receive vapor mist during actual operation, several parallel vapor mist channels A (vapor mist channels A are groove structures) are opened on the front and rear side walls of the planting box 1.

[0044] The vapor entering the planting box 1 is continuously distributed and diffused through the vapor channel A, providing moisture to the plant seedlings cultivated in the cultivation chamber 32 within the planting box 1.

[0045] Example 4 like Figure 1-6As shown, in this embodiment, based on the structure of embodiment 3, a large amount of vapor mist eventually forms water droplets. Therefore, a water trough 6 is installed at the bottom of the planting box 1. Correspondingly, the bottom plate inside the planting box 1 has a water inlet hole 12 that connects to the water trough. The water droplets generated by the vapor mist eventually enter the water trough 6 through the water inlet hole 12.

[0046] As is done in the existing manner, a drain pipe 61 is connected and installed on the water tank, and a valve for controlling drainage is installed on the drain pipe 61.

[0047] Example 5 like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on the structure of Example 2, this embodiment further includes a cover structure mounted on the support 31 to enable the cultivation chamber 32 to be opened during the cultivation process. The cover structure includes a cover plate 4 that can open and close the cultivation chamber 32. The cover plate 4 is made of glass or plastic.

[0048] Specifically, the cover plate 4 is slidably mounted on the top of the bracket 31 via a sliding structure. Specifically, the sliding structure includes slide rails 41 that are fixedly mounted on both sides of the top of the bracket 31; the sliding method is as follows: a limiting groove is opened on the side wall of the slide rails 41 facing each other, and the cover plate 4 is limited to slide within the limiting groove.

[0049] Meanwhile, a protruding handle for pushing the cover plate 4 to slide is fixedly connected to the top outer side of the cover plate 4 (to facilitate manual pushing by the operator).

[0050] When the cultivation chamber 32 is pushed out of the storage area by the electric push rod 34, the operator can manually push the handle to push the cover 4 inward. In actual operation, since the cultivation chamber 32 has been properly pushed out of the planting box 1, the operator can use the opening of the planting box 1 as a reference to push the cover 4 to the opening of the planting box 1 (to prevent the cover 4 from detaching). In actual operation, it is not necessary to fully open the cover 4; leaving enough space for hand operation is sufficient. Alternatively, the cover 4 can be completely detached and pushed down during operation to further expose the space and facilitate operator handling.

[0051] Meanwhile, to facilitate the entry of mist into the planting box 1, an installation hole is made at the center of the top of the cover plate 4. A mist inlet structure 5 is installed in the installation hole. Specifically, the mist inlet structure 5 includes a mist well 51 (cylindrical, fixed to the installation hole) connected to the top of the cover plate. A baffle 52 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mist well 51, as is customary. The baffle 52 is a mesh structure made of metal or nylon material, used to reduce the speed at which mist enters the cultivation chamber 32. This ensures that during actual operation, a large amount of mist entering the planting box 1 enters the cultivation chamber 32 slowly and continuously. The mist environment formed within the cultivation chamber 32 increases the utilization of water by the cultivated seedlings.

[0052] In actual operation, the same method as before is used: the nutrients produced by the plants are dissolved in water and pumped into the planting box 1 through a fogging machine.

[0053] The fog generator can be installed directly on top of planting box 1.

[0054] Example 6 like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment, based on the structure of embodiment 5, allows for the convenient introduction of gaseous nutrients, such as carbon dioxide, into the planting box 1 during actual operation. A pump pipe 8 (equipped with a valve) for pumping gaseous nutrients can be installed on the back of the planting box 1, following existing methods. The pump pipe 8 can be connected to a gas nutrient pumping device, such as a carbon dioxide generator, to pump a certain concentration of carbon dioxide gaseous nutrients.

[0055] Example 7 like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment, based on the structure of embodiment 6, adds a light strip 7 to the inner wall of the cultivation chamber 32 to provide light source in order to meet the light requirements of plant growth during the seedling cultivation process. The light strip 7 is a conventional lighting strip used in existing plant cultivation processes to provide light for plant growth. The light strip 7 is preferably an LED light strip, and its power supply method is a conventional method disclosed in the prior art. If the power supply method is the same as that of the existing light strip 7, a power source (battery-powered) can be installed on the inner wall of the cultivation chamber 32.

[0056] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
