A high-efficiency forage planting and cultivation device

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of hydroponic forage technology and discloses a high-efficiency forage planting and cultivation device, including a cultivation rack equipped with a cultivation control system, wherein the cultivation rack is arranged with multiple rows of horizontal frames from bottom to top. This utility model pushes the front horizontal bar towards the rear horizontal bar, at which point the through hole of the front horizontal bar and the connecting rod fixedly connected to the rear horizontal bar slide relative to each other. The rearward movement of the front horizontal bar simultaneously drives a scraper to move along the surface of the cultivation tray towards the rear horizontal bar, thereby contacting the forage cultivated on the surface of the cultivation tray. As the scraper pushes the forage, because the scraper is close to the bottom surface of the cultivation tray, it directly pushes the roots and the forage body together to move behind the rear horizontal bar. At this time, the forage is removed from the rear of the cultivation tray, achieving the beneficial effect of automatically separating the forage from the cultivation tray after the forage has reached the required growth level, shortening the harvesting time, and thus improving the efficiency of the next round of planting.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydroponic forage technology, specifically to a high-efficiency forage planting and cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] Hydroponics is a soilless cultivation technology that does not use soil for planting. Through soilless cultivation and precise environmental control, water is used as the growth medium. Combined with automated technologies such as constant temperature and humidity and spectral control, seeds such as barley can complete the entire process from germination to harvest within 7 days. It is used to solve the shortage of silage in livestock farms. Moreover, hydroponic forage is more nutritious and palatable than silage because it can be used immediately. Currently, existing technologies have widely promoted hydroponics. The article "Application Status and Prospect of Hydroponics in Livestock Production" - "Livestock Environment" describes it in detail.

[0003] Hydroponic forage systems are typically integrated into containers, including cultivation racks, cultivation trays, fluorescent lights, sprinklers, and corresponding control systems. Current technology uses barley seeds as seedlings, spreading them evenly on cultivation trays, sprinkling water, and controlling the temperature. After one cycle, once the forage has grown, the cultivation trays are removed, the forage is taken out, and the trays are cleaned and returned to their original positions for the next cycle. For example, the specification in CN 111248079 B, sections 0062-0065, describes a process where "2.5 kg of spring barley is weighed as the forage seed source, soaked and washed for 12 hours, and then placed into cultivation trays. Each tray has a 10° tilt angle, with a 0.5 cm wide drainage groove at the bottom. The seed layer is approximately 1 cm thick." While current technology can automatically control temperature, drainage, and light, it still requires manually removing the cultivation trays, pulling out the grown forage, and then resetting and cleaning them. This reduces the efficiency of forage cultivation. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a highly efficient forage planting and cultivation device, which has the advantages of automatically separating the forage from the cultivation tray after the forage has reached the required growth level, thus shortening the harvesting time and improving the efficiency of the next round of planting, thereby solving the problems mentioned above.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency forage planting and cultivation device, comprising a cultivation frame equipped with a cultivation control system, wherein the cultivation frame is provided with multiple rows of horizontal frames from bottom to top, and multiple cultivation trays are placed at intervals above the horizontal frames, wherein spray heads and fluorescent lights are installed below the horizontal frames for the cultivation trays placed above the next horizontal frame, and the horizontal frame includes a front horizontal bar equipped with spray heads and fluorescent lights and a rear horizontal bar at the same horizontal line as the front horizontal bar, the two of which form a horizontal frame for supporting the cultivation trays, and the multiple horizontal frames are supported by vertical bars passing through them; Furthermore, the front crossbar and the rear crossbar are slidably connected, and the top surface of the front crossbar or the rear crossbar is equipped with a separation structure for separating the forage from the cultivation tray.

[0006] Furthermore, through holes are provided at both ends of the front crossbar, and a connecting rod is slidably connected to the inside of the through holes, with the tail end of the connecting rod fixedly connected to the surface of the rear crossbar.

[0007] Furthermore, the separation structure includes a scraper fixedly installed on the top surface of the front or rear crossbar. The scraper fits into and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cultivation tray. The bottom of the scraper is spaced one centimeter away from the inner wall of the cultivation tray. The separation structure also includes a positioning plate for fixing the cultivation tray. The positioning plate is "L"-shaped, with one end threaded to the side wall of the cultivation tray and the other end threaded to the top surface of the front or rear crossbar.

[0008] Furthermore, when the scraper is located at the front crossbar, the positioning plate is fixed on both sides of the rear crossbar.

[0009] Furthermore, when the scraper is located at the rear crossbar, the positioning plate is located on both sides of the front crossbar to fix the cultivation tray.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom inner surface of the cultivation tray is also equipped with protrusions, the minimum number of which is two, and the cross-section of the protrusions is triangular. The bottom surface of the scraper is correspondingly provided with a notch with an inverted triangular cross-section.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a highly efficient forage planting and cultivation device, which has the following beneficial effects: This invention pushes the front crossbar towards the rear crossbar, causing the through hole of the front crossbar to slide relative to the connecting rod fixed to the rear crossbar. Since multiple crossbars are supported by vertical rods, pushing one front crossbar will cause all front crossbars to move together. As the front crossbar moves backward, it also moves the scraper along the surface of the cultivation tray towards the rear crossbar, thus contacting the forage cultivated on the surface of the cultivation tray. As the scraper pushes the forage, since the scraper is close to the bottom surface of the cultivation tray, it directly pushes the roots and the forage together to move behind the rear crossbar. At this time, the forage is removed from the rear of the cultivation tray. The user only needs to pick them up to complete the separation of the forage from the cultivation tray. After the forage is separated, the next round of planting can be carried out. This invention achieves the beneficial effect of automatically separating the forage from the cultivation tray after the forage has grown to the required size, shortening the harvesting time and improving the efficiency of the next round of planting.

[0014] 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.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-5 A high-efficiency forage planting and cultivation device includes a cultivation frame 1 equipped with a cultivation control system. The cultivation frame 1 has multiple rows of horizontal frames 2 arranged from bottom to top. Multiple cultivation trays 3 are placed at intervals above the horizontal frames 2. Sprinkler heads and fluorescent lights are installed below the horizontal frames 2 for the cultivation trays 3 placed above the next horizontal frame 2. The horizontal frame 2 includes a front horizontal bar 301 equipped with sprinkler heads and fluorescent lights and a rear horizontal bar 302 at the same horizontal line as the front horizontal bar 301. The two together form a horizontal frame 2 for supporting the cultivation trays 3. The multiple horizontal frames 2 are connected by vertical bars to form a support. Example 1 According to the instruction manual Figure 1-2As shown, when the scraper 4 is located at the front crossbar 301, the fluorescent lamp and sprinkler head installed on the cultivation rack 1 are connected to the existing cultivation control system, so that the cultivation system can supplement water and light to the barley seeds in the cultivation tray 3. The cultivation control system is at least the planting system disclosed in the background art document CN111248079B of this application. Its light time and spray water are quantitatively controlled, which will not be described in detail here. After the system is connected, the sowing of the cultivation tray 3 begins. First, the front crossbar 301 is pushed towards the rear crossbar 302. At this time, the through hole 303 of the front crossbar 301 and the connecting rod 304 fixedly connected to the rear crossbar 302 slide relative to each other. Since the multiple crossbars 2 are supported by vertical rods, pushing one front crossbar 301 will drive all the front crossbars 301. The front crossbar 301 moves backward, simultaneously driving the scraper 4 to move towards the rear crossbar 302 on the surface of the cultivation tray 3, thereby contacting the forage cultivated on the surface of the cultivation tray 3. Furthermore, the growth rate of the forage is determined according to cultivation needs, not set by the cultivation system. According to the background art, the growth cycle of forage is seven days. Therefore, the harvest date can be determined by the user's timing, or the harvest can be calculated based on the height of the forage. Since judging the growth of forage is not the direction of improvement of this application, it will not be described in detail. Furthermore, as the scraper 4 pushes the forage, since the scraper 4 is close to the bottom surface of the cultivation tray 3, it directly pushes the roots and the forage body together to move behind the rear crossbar 302. At this time, the forage is removed from the rear of the cultivation tray 3, and the user only needs to pick it up to complete the separation of the forage and the cultivation tray 3.

[0016] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1 After the forage is separated, the next round of planting can begin. Keep the cultivation tray mostly behind the rear crossbar 302 and rinse the cultivation tray 3 directly with a water gun. Since there is a one-centimeter gap between the scraper 4 and the cultivation tray 3, the gap is used for water flow to clean the roots of the forage. After cleaning, pile the barley seeds horizontally in front of the scraper 4 and then reset the front crossbar 301. At this time, the scraper 4 moves and flattens the soil, spreading the barley seeds evenly on the cultivation tray 3.

[0017] Furthermore, during actual feeding, the forage is separated according to the number of cattle and sheep in each pen. Conventional forage cultivation boxes cultivate forage in a single piece, and the roots of the forage are tangled and difficult to tear apart. To address this, this application installs protrusions 5 on the surface of the cultivation tray 3. By using at least two protrusions 5 to raise the distance between the forage roots and the inner bottom surface of the cultivation tray 3, the bottom surface of the separated forage has an inverted triangular depression. The forage roots are less in this depression, thus forming a tear line. Tearing the forage using the direction formed by this depression is less laborious than tearing a single piece of forage.

[0018] Example 2 Furthermore, in Embodiment 1, when the scraper 4 is located at the front crossbar 301, the positioning plate 401 is fixed on both sides of the rear crossbar 302. Moving the front crossbar 301 moves the forage out from behind the cultivation tray 3. Although this can quickly and efficiently separate all the forage in the entire device, the directions of pushing the front crossbar 301 and moving the forage out are opposite. This requires two operators to cooperate, one pushing the front crossbar 301 and the other collecting the forage separated from the cultivation tray 3 from behind the rear crossbar 302. To further improve efficiency, in this embodiment, the scraper 4 is fixed to the rear crossbar 302 with bolts, and the positioning plate 401 is located on both sides of the front crossbar 301 to fix the cultivation tray 3. At this time, the scraper 4 and the cultivation tray 3 are each positioned, but they slide against each other. In this step, the front crossbar 301 is pushed, and the through hole 303 of the front crossbar 301 and the connecting rod 304 fixedly connected to the rear crossbar 302 slide relative to each other. Since the multiple crossbars 2 are supported by vertical rods, pushing one front crossbar 301 will cause all the front crossbars 301 to move together. Since the top surface of the front crossbar 301 is fixedly connected to the cultivation tray 3, the cultivation tray 3 will move towards the rear crossbar 302. At this time, the rear crossbar 302 does not move, and the scraper 4 connected to the rear crossbar 302 is also fixed. At this time, the cultivation tray 3 continues to move backward, while the scraper 4 does not move. Therefore, the pasture planted above the cultivation tray 3 is pushed forward, that is, moved out from the front crossbar 301. At this time, only a single operator needs to complete the operation of separating and picking up the pasture.

[0019] Furthermore, in order to improve the efficiency of pushing the front or rear crossbar, refer to the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 1-4 A screw 6 is also provided between the front crossbar 301 and the rear crossbar 302. The screw 6 passes through the front crossbar 301 and is threaded to it. The tail end of the screw 6 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rear crossbar 302. At this time, the screw 6 is connected to a servo motor with a reducer installed at one end of the front crossbar 301. The motor model is D180M-0250030C-E. The motor is a common application in this field. Its specific use is to drive the servo motor to rotate forward and reverse by clicking the start button. Therefore, the specific principle will not be described. Furthermore, a waterproof shell is installed on the surface of the servo motor. The waterproof shell has ventilation grilles on both sides for heat dissipation. The waterproof shell protects the servo motor from water spray corrosion. Furthermore, the servo motor drives the screw 6 to rotate forward and reverse, thereby causing relative movement with the front crossbar 301. At this time, the front crossbar 301 changes its circular motion to linear motion under its own limit, and moves relatively closer to or away from the rear crossbar 302.

[0020] In use, the fluorescent lamps and sprinkler heads installed on the cultivation rack 1 are connected to the existing cultivation control system, allowing the cultivation system to provide water and light to the barley seeds in the cultivation tray 3. The front crossbar 301 is pushed towards the rear crossbar 302. At this time, the through hole 303 of the front crossbar 301 and the connecting rod 304 fixedly connected to the rear crossbar 302 slide relative to each other. Since multiple crossbars 2 are supported by vertical rods, pushing one front crossbar 301 will cause all front crossbars 301 to move together. The rearward movement of the front crossbars 301 simultaneously moves the scraper 4 along the surface of the cultivation tray 3 towards the rear crossbar 302, thus contacting the pasture cultivated on the surface of the cultivation tray 3. As the scraper 4 pushes the pasture, due to the contact between the scraper 4 and the rear crossbar 302, the scraper 4... The bottom surface of the cultivation tray 3 is close to the ground, so the roots and the grass are pushed together to move behind the rear crossbar 302. At this time, the grass is moved out from behind the cultivation tray 3. The user can simply pick it up to complete the separation of the grass and the cultivation tray 3. After the grass is separated, the next round of planting can be carried out. The cultivation tray is kept in the current state with most of it behind the rear crossbar 302. The water gun is directly aimed at the cultivation tray 3 to rinse it. Since there is a one-centimeter gap between the scraper 4 and the cultivation tray 3, the gap is used for water flow to clean the grass roots. After cleaning, the barley seeds are piled horizontally in front of the scraper 4, and then the front crossbar 301 is reset. At this time, the scraper 4 moves and also plays a leveling role, spreading the barley seeds evenly on the top of the cultivation tray 3.

[0021] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
