Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed and seedling technology, and in particular to a water-saving seed and seedling tray. Background Technology
[0002] Seedling trays are a core tool for intensive seedling cultivation in modern agriculture. They are typically rectangular plastic injection-molded trays with multiple independent seedling compartments, capable of holding soil substrate and seeds in batches. Their core function is to provide a unified and controllable growth environment for seed germination and seedling growth, enabling centralized cultivation and standardized management, improving seed germination rates, and producing robust seedlings with uniform growth. They are widely applicable to large-scale seedling cultivation of various crops such as vegetables, flowers, and saplings.
[0003] A search revealed that the announcement number "CN218773010U" mentions "This utility model discloses a seedling tray for planting, belonging to the field of planting technology, including a shell, the top of the shell is provided with multiple equally spaced placement slots, and seedling tubes are placed inside the placement slots. An installation channel is opened at one end or the other end of the top of the shell and the lower end of the placement slots, and a high-low pipe is fixedly installed inside the installation channel. The high-low pipe is U-shaped, and a pressing rod is slidably installed inside the high end of the high-low pipe." When in use, when the worker presses down the pressing rod, the movable rod moves upward, and the tray, along with the soil and seedlings, moves upward as a whole. Continuous pressing can expose the soil on the surface of the seedling tray, thereby achieving the effect of easy removal of seedlings from the tray.
[0004] However, existing seed seedling cultivation usually uses direct irrigation or drip irrigation systems. Drip irrigation is prone to uneven water distribution, and when evaporation is high and drip irrigation is slow, it is difficult to meet the normal growth needs of seeds. Irrigation is difficult to accurately control the amount of water irrigated in the soil. Overwatering can easily lead to root hypoxia and root rot, and wastes water. Underwatering will cause seedlings to wilt, requiring frequent manual inspection and adjustment, which increases the cost of seedling management.
[0005] Therefore, we provide a water-saving seedling tray to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a water-saving seedling tray, which aims to solve the aforementioned problems.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: it includes a water storage tray, on the upper side of which a seedling unit assembly is provided, the seedling unit assembly includes a seedling rack disposed on the upper side of the water storage tray, a support plate disposed on the inner side of the seedling rack, a water-guiding cotton bundle for water intake installed at the bottom end of the support plate, an mounting plate disposed on the upper side of the support plate, and a seedling net for seedling cultivation installed on the inner side of the mounting plate.
[0008] Preferably, the seedling rack has a grid structure, the water storage tray has fixed slots at its four corners, and the bottom of the four corners of the seedling rack is welded with fixed rods corresponding to the fixed slots.
[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the seedling rack is welded with a support plate, the support plate and the support plate are connected by a slot, and six sets of water-guiding cotton bundles are provided, and water-guiding cotton rings are provided on the inner side of the water-guiding cotton bundles.
[0010] Preferably, the mounting plate and the support plate are connected by a slot, the seedling net has a funnel-shaped structure, and the seedling net is made of plastic.
[0011] Preferably, a water-guiding net is attached to the outer surface of the seedling net. The water-guiding net is made of cotton mesh, and the outer surface of the water-guiding net is attached to the surface of the water-guiding cotton ring and the water-guiding cotton bundle.
[0012] Preferably, a water inlet is installed on the front left side of the water storage tray, and a protective cover is connected to the top hinge of the water inlet. The surface of the protective cover is made of rubber.
[0013] Preferably, an observation window is installed on the right side of the water inlet, and the surface of the observation window is provided with scale lines, the highest point of which is lower than the lowest point of the seedling net.
[0014] This invention provides a water-saving seedling tray. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. This water-saving seedling tray is fixed to the water storage tray by a fixing rod, ensuring the stability of the seedling rack during use and facilitating subsequent assembly and disassembly. During use, the water in the water storage tray is drawn out by the water-guiding cotton bundles, and then the water-guiding cotton rings further disperse the water, allowing the water to continuously and evenly penetrate into the soil substrate on the seedling net. Ultimately, the moisture content of the soil substrate and the moisture content of the water-guiding cotton rings reach a balance, providing a sufficient and uniform water supply for seed germination and seedling growth. At the same time, by simply selecting water-guiding cotton bundles and water-guiding cotton rings with different water absorption capacities, the seedling needs of different seeds can be met, improving the applicability and convenience of seedling cultivation.
[0016] 2. This water-saving seedling tray, through the bonding of a water-guiding net and a water-guiding cotton ring, further enhances the effect of water guidance and dispersion, providing a more suitable growth environment for seeds and seedlings. It also encapsulates the soil substrate within the seedling net, preventing substrate loss after water seepage and ensuring the stability of the seedling process. During seedling cultivation, water is added to the storage tray through the water inlet. After adding water, the protective cover is closed; the rubber cover provides a seal, preventing excessive evaporation and keeping out external impurities from entering the storage tray. The amount of water added can be observed through the observation window, and the water level in the storage tray can be accurately monitored using the scale lines to avoid over- or under-addition of water. Adding water is stopped when the appropriate level is reached to prevent water from directly soaking the soil substrate in the seedling net, thus avoiding excessive moisture that could affect seed germination and seedling growth, and preventing water waste.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a water-saving seedling tray, including a water storage tray 1, a seedling unit assembly 2 on the upper side of the water storage tray 1, the seedling unit assembly 2 including a seedling rack 201 on the upper side of the water storage tray 1, a support plate 205 on the inner side of the seedling rack 201, a water-guiding cotton bundle 206 for water intake installed at the bottom end of the support plate 205, an mounting plate 208 on the upper side of the support plate 205, and a seedling net 209 for seedling cultivation installed on the inner side of the mounting plate 208.
[0024] The seedling rack 201 has a grid structure, and the four corners of the water storage tray 1 are provided with fixing slots 202. The bottom of the four corners of the seedling rack 201 are welded with fixing rods 203 corresponding to the fixing slots 202.
[0025] When needed, the seedling rack 201 is fixed to the water storage tray 1 by inserting the fixing rod 203, which ensures the stability of the seedling rack 201 during use and avoids affecting the seedling effect due to shaking. It also facilitates subsequent assembly and disassembly operations, improving the convenience and flexibility of use.
[0026] The inner wall of the seedling rack 201 is welded with a support plate 204. The support plate 204 and the support plate 205 are connected by a slot. There are six sets of water-guiding cotton bundles 206, and water-guiding cotton rings 207 are provided on the inner side of the water-guiding cotton bundles 206.
[0027] Irrigation water is poured into the water storage tray 1. During use, the water in the water storage tray 1 is drawn out by the water-guiding cotton bundle 206, and then the water-guiding cotton ring 207 further disperses the water, so that the water can continuously and evenly penetrate into the soil substrate on the seedling net 209. Finally, the moisture content of the soil substrate and the moisture content of the water-guiding cotton ring 207 are balanced, providing a sufficient and uniform water supply for seed germination and seedling growth. At the same time, by selecting water-guiding cotton bundles 206 and water-guiding cotton rings 207 with different water absorption capacities, the seedling needs of different seeds can be met, improving the applicability of the product.
[0028] The mounting plate 208 and the support plate 205 are connected by a slot. The seedling net 209 has a funnel-shaped structure and is made of plastic.
[0029] The funnel-shaped seedling net 209 can better collect and guide water. At the same time, the choice of plastic material not only reduces costs but also improves the durability and corrosion resistance of the seedling net 209. After the seedlings are grown, the seedling net 209 can be removed from the seedling rack 201 through the support plate 205, which facilitates the transplanting of seedlings and improves the efficiency and convenience of the seedling growing work.
[0030] The outer surface of the seedling net 209 is attached with a water guiding net 210, which is made of cotton netting. The outer surface of the water guiding net 210 is attached to the surface of the water guiding cotton ring 207 and the water guiding cotton bundle 206.
[0031] By attaching the water-guiding net 210 to the water-guiding cotton ring 207, the effect of water guidance and dispersion can be further enhanced, allowing water to penetrate into the soil substrate more evenly, providing a more suitable growth environment for seeds and seedlings. It can also wrap the soil substrate in the seedling net 209 to prevent substrate loss after the soil substrate gets wet, ensuring the stability of seedling cultivation.
[0032] A water inlet 211 is installed on the front left side of the water storage tray 1. A protective cover 212 is connected to the top hinge of the water inlet 211. The surface of the protective cover 212 is made of rubber.
[0033] During the seedling cultivation process, the protective cover 212 can be opened, and water can be added into the water storage tray 1 through the water inlet 211. After the water is added, the protective cover 212 can be closed. The rubber protective cover 212 can play a sealing role, preventing water from evaporating too quickly, and also preventing external impurities from entering the water storage tray 1, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the water used for seedling cultivation.
[0034] An observation window 213 is installed on the right side of the water inlet 211. The surface of the observation window 213 is provided with a scale line 214. The highest point of the scale line 214 is lower than the lowest point of the seedling net 209.
[0035] During the watering process, the amount of water added can be observed through the observation window 213, and the water level in the water storage tray 1 can be accurately monitored through the scale line 214 to avoid adding too much or too little water. When the water level reaches the appropriate scale, stop adding water to prevent water from directly soaking the soil substrate in the seedling net 209 and avoid affecting seed germination and seedling growth due to excessive water.
[0036] Working principle: When needed, the seedling rack 201 is fixed to the water storage tray 1 by inserting the fixing rod 203. Then, the support plate 205 is installed on the support bracket 204 on the inner wall of the grid of the seedling rack 201 by means of a slot connection. Then, the seedling net 209 with the water guide net 210 attached is fixed to the support plate 205 by the mounting plate 208. After that, the irrigation water is poured into the water storage tray 1 from the water inlet 211. During the water filling process, the water level is accurately monitored by the observation window 213 and the scale line 214 on its surface. After the water is filled, the protective cover 212 is closed. At this time, the water-guiding cotton bundle 206 draws water out of the water storage tray 1, and then disperses the water through the water-guiding cotton ring 207. Subsequently, the water is continuously and evenly permeated into the soil substrate on the seedling net 209, providing a sufficient and uniform water supply for seed germination and seedling growth. During the seed germination and seedling growth process, the water-guiding net 210 can further enhance the water guiding and dispersing effect, and can also wrap the soil substrate to prevent loss. After the seedling is completed, the seedling net 209 can be removed from the seedling rack 201 through the support plate 205, and the seedlings can be transplanted. This completes the use of a water-saving seedling tray.
[0037] 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.
