Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tomato seedling technology, and in particular to a tomato seedling tray. Background Technology

[0002] Tomato seedling cultivation is a crucial initial step in tomato planting. It involves scientifically treating seeds, sowing them in a nutrient-rich, well-aerated, and moisture-retentive substrate, and precisely controlling environmental factors such as temperature, light, water, and air to cultivate robust seedlings with moderate height, thick stems, and well-developed root systems, laying the foundation for subsequent transplanting. In the tomato seedling cultivation process, seeds are typically sown in seedling trays, with each cell in the tray capable of independently cultivating one seedling. This not only prevents root tangling but also isolates the seedlings from pests and diseases.

[0003] Existing tomato seedling trays make it difficult to separate the seedlings from the trays during transplanting. This usually requires manual intervention using tools to separate the substrate from the tray, then lifting the seedling and the substrate block. Improper tool handling and force control during manual lifting can easily damage the seedling's stems, leaves, or roots. Damaged roots struggle to recover their absorption function quickly after transplanting, prolonging the recovery period and reducing seedling survival rates.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a tomato seedling tray to address the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tomato seedling tray that facilitates the separation of tomato seedlings from the tray during transplanting, avoids damage to the seedlings, and improves the survival rate of transplanted seedlings.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This utility model discloses a tomato seedling tray, comprising a seedling tray body, with several support legs fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the seedling tray body, and several evenly spaced mounting holes penetrating the seedling tray body, into which seedling tubes are inserted; a seedling transplanting assembly is provided inside the seedling tube, the seedling transplanting assembly including a base plate, with a pull rod symmetrically fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate, the outer wall of the pull rod being fitted against the inner wall of the seedling tube, and the base plate having the same dimensions as the inner bottom surface of the seedling tube.

[0007] Furthermore, the top surface of the seedling tray body is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves that correspond one-to-one with the mounting holes and are coaxial. The top end of the seedling tube is fixedly connected with a limiting ring adapted to the mounting groove, and the limiting ring is inserted into the mounting groove.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the mounting slots has symmetrically formed extraction slots at both ends, and the extraction slots are connected to the mounting slots.

[0009] Furthermore, a horizontally positioned lifting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the pull rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a first drainage hole is provided through the bottom surface of the seedling tube, and a second drainage hole is provided through the bottom plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention, through its seedling tray body and detachably connected seedling cylinder, allows for individual operation of each seedling cylinder while facilitating reuse. Furthermore, by incorporating a transplanting component within the seedling cylinder, when tomato seedlings need transplanting, simply pull upwards on the lever; the base plate will then lift the seedling and its root substrate block, allowing the seedling to be removed intact from the seedling cylinder. Because the contact area between the transplanting component and the substrate block is small, it is easier to remove the seedling from the seedling cylinder, thus facilitating tomato seedling transplantation, avoiding damage to the seedlings from tools, and improving the survival rate of transplanted seedlings.

[0015] The core of this utility model is to provide a tomato seedling tray that facilitates the separation of tomato seedlings from the tray during transplanting, avoids damage to the seedlings, and improves the survival rate of transplanted seedlings.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. 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.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0018] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the device includes a seedling tray body 1, with several support legs 2 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the seedling tray body 1. Several evenly spaced mounting holes 3 are drilled through the seedling tray body 1, into which seedling tubes 4 are inserted. The seedling tubes 4 are used to cultivate tomato seedlings and can be independently detached from the seedling tray body 1 for convenient subsequent transplanting. Each seedling tube 4 contains a transplanting component 5, which includes a base plate 501. A pull rod 502 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate 501. The outer wall of the pull rod 502 fits snugly against the inner wall of the seedling tube 4, ensuring stable movement of the transplanting component 5 within the seedling tube 4. The base plate 501 has the same dimensions as the bottom surface of the seedling tube 4, supporting the substrate and seedlings within the seedling tube 4 for easy transplanting.

[0019] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the top surface of the seedling tray body 1 has several coaxial mounting grooves 6 that correspond one-to-one with the mounting holes 3. The top of the seedling tube 4 is fixedly connected to a limiting ring 7 that fits the mounting groove 6, and the limiting ring 7 is inserted into the mounting groove 6. This allows the seedling tube 4 to be installed on the seedling tray body 1, preventing the seedling tube 4 from shaking or shifting during the seedling process.

[0020] Specifically, each mounting slot 6 has symmetrical extraction slots 8 at both ends, and the extraction slots 8 are connected to the mounting slot 6. When it is necessary to remove the seedling tube 4 from the seedling tray body 1, the operator can easily grasp the limiting ring 7 of the seedling tube 4 through the extraction slot 8 and pull the seedling tube 4 out of the mounting slot 6, which is simple and convenient.

[0021] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, a horizontally positioned lifting plate 503 is fixedly connected to the top of the pull rod 502. During seedling transplanting, the operator can lift the lifting plate 503 to move the base plate 501 upwards, smoothly pushing the substrate and seedlings out of the seedling tube 4 together, avoiding damage caused by directly lifting the seedlings.

[0022] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first drainage hole 9 is provided through the bottom surface of the seedling tube 4, and a second drainage hole 504 is provided through the bottom plate 501. During the seedling process, excess water can be discharged through the first drainage hole 9 and the second drainage hole 504, ensuring good drainage and air permeability inside the seedling tube 4, which is beneficial to the growth of tomato seedling roots.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this tomato seedling tray, tomato seeds are sown in the substrate inside the seedling tube 4. The seedling tube 4 is inserted into the mounting groove 6 of the seedling tray body 1 via the limiting ring 7, and is securely installed on the seedling tray body 1. During the seedling process, excess water is discharged through the first drainage hole 9 of the seedling tube 4 and the second drainage hole 504 of the bottom plate 501, ensuring a suitable growth environment for the seedlings. When the seedlings are ready for transplanting, the limiting ring 7 is first held through the extraction groove 8, and the seedling tube 4 is pulled out of the mounting groove 6 of the seedling tray body 1. Then, the operator holds the lifting plate 503 and pulls upwards. The pull rod 502 drives the bottom plate 501 to rise, removing the substrate and seedlings from the seedling tube 4 as a whole, avoiding damage to the seedling stems, leaves, and roots. Finally, the seedlings are transplanted to the planting area.

[0024] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. For the apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the method section.

[0025] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.
