Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of citrus seedling raising devices, and in particular to a citrus seedling bed that facilitates seedling collection. Background Technology

[0002] Citrus seedling cultivation typically involves placing seeds or seedlings in seedling containers and providing suitable water, nutrients, and light to promote their growth. Once the seedlings have developed to a certain stage, they are transplanted to the field. This process requires that the seedling containers not only ensure the healthy growth of the seedlings but also facilitate the later removal and transplanting of seedlings. However, most existing seedling containers are made of disposable materials, making it difficult to reuse them. They are discarded after use, resulting in resource waste and increased costs.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN222382273U, entitled "A Citrus Seedling Bed," was found. This patent uses a combination structure of a fixed seedling dish and a movable seedling dish, utilizing springs and guide rods to achieve relative displacement between the two, thereby separating the potting soil and allowing for reuse of the containers. However, in this structure, the seedling removal operation is cumbersome and complex. When a single separation is required, the limiting pin must first be released from the handle, and then the positions of other limiting pins on the guide rod must be adjusted to control the movement of the seedling dish. The seedling removal process requires continuously overcoming the spring force. When operating alone, one hand must pull out the guide rod while the other hand removes the seedling, making the operation extremely difficult. Furthermore, because seedling dish one and seedling dish two are always in a relatively fixed state, the seedling can only be pulled out through a narrow axial gap or dug out with tools, easily damaging the soil structure around the seedling roots and causing root damage, thus affecting the survival and growth of the seedlings after transplanting. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a citrus seedling bed that facilitates seedling extraction. It solves the problems of cumbersome and complicated seedling extraction operations, high operational difficulty, and easy damage to the soil structure around the seedling roots, which affects the survival and growth of seedlings after transplanting.

[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a citrus seedling bed that facilitates seedling removal includes a bed body that runs vertically through the bed. A positioning plate and a support plate are detachably provided on the inner side of the bed body. The positioning plate is located above the support plate and has several positioning holes for seedling pots to pass through and be placed on the support plate. The seedling pot includes a pair of symmetrical half-pots and a fixing ring that can surround and fix the two half-pots together.

[0006] The technical principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the seedling pot is inserted through the positioning hole on the positioning plate and placed on the support plate. The fixing ring tightens the two half pots to form a complete pot body, which is used to hold the potting soil and seedlings. When it is necessary to remove the seedlings, simply release the fixing ring, and the two half pots will separate naturally, so that the seedlings and the soil around the roots can be easily removed as a whole.

[0007] Furthermore, a half-hole is provided at the bottom of the half-basin.

[0008] Furthermore, the support plate is provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the positioning hole, and the positioning groove is provided with a number of ventilation holes.

[0009] Furthermore, a protruding arc-shaped limiting block is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the half-pot, a limiting part is provided on one side of the positioning groove, and an arc-shaped groove is provided on the inner side of the limiting part. The limiting block can be rotated and embedded into the arc-shaped groove to lock the seedling pot.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing ring is sleeved or clamped around the outer perimeter of the two half-basins, and a half-ring is fixedly installed on the upper outer side of the half-basin for axial positioning of the fixing ring.

[0011] Furthermore, a protruding positioning ridge is provided on the upper edge of the fixing ring, which overlaps with the positioning plate when the seedling pot is placed.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the positioning hole is provided with a downwardly extending positioning edge for providing radial restraint on the seedling pot that passes through.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner wall of the bed body is provided with a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove at the top and bottom respectively. The first sliding groove and the second sliding groove are respectively provided with a first opening and a second opening through each other on the same side of the bed body. The positioning plate is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove, and the support plate is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the bed body is rotatably provided with a locking handle on the side of the first opening, and the locking handle can be rotated to coincide with both the first and second openings simultaneously.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. By adopting a seedling pot structure consisting of two half-pots and secured by a fixing ring, when taking seedlings, the two half-pots can be directly separated simply by removing the fixing ring, thereby completely exposing the seedlings along with their intact root ball, achieving non-destructive seedling removal and significantly reducing operational difficulty and time costs.

[0016] 2. With the independent pull-out positioning and support plates inside the bed, it can provide stable support and accurate positioning for the seedling pots during the seedling stage, enabling unified management. It can also be flexibly disassembled when taking seedlings or for maintenance, making it easy to clean and maintain the inside of the bed. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a citrus seedling bed that is easy to take seedlings. It includes a bed body 1 with an overall rectangular frame structure. The bed body 1 is vertically connected and fixedly installed. Support legs are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the bed body 1 to facilitate air circulation and water management. A detachable positioning plate 2 and a support plate 3 are independently installed on the inner side of the bed body 1. The positioning plate 2 is horizontally arranged above the support plate 3. The two are parallel to each other and are detachably connected to the inner wall of the bed body 1. like Figure 1-6As shown in this exemplary embodiment, the positioning plate 2 has a number of positioning holes 21 arranged neatly. Each positioning hole 21 has the same shape and is evenly distributed. It is used to accommodate the seedling pot 4 through which the seedling pot 4 passes and to position the seedling pot 4 so that the seedling pot 4 is neatly placed on the support plate 3. The top edge 43 is fixedly provided on the top of the seedling pot 4 for easy picking and placing. The support plate 3 is located below the positioning plate 2 and is used to directly support the bottom of the seedling pot 4 that passes through the positioning hole 21. The support plate 3 is set correspondingly to the positioning plate 2 to ensure that each seedling pot 4 is effectively supported in the vertical direction.

[0026] like Figure 1-6 As shown in this exemplary embodiment, the seedling pot 4 includes a pair of symmetrical half pots 41 and a fixing ring 42 that can surround and fix the two half pots 41. The half pots 41 are configured as semi-cylindrical structures. When the two half pots 41 are joined together, they can be combined to form a complete pot. The fixing ring 42 is wrapped around the outside of the two half pots 41 and can tightly tighten the half pots 41 so that they maintain their overall shape during the seedling stage.

[0027] During installation, the support plate 3 is first placed into the bed 1, then the positioning plate 2 is installed, and finally the seedling pot 4 is assembled with the fixing ring 42. When in use, the seedling pot 4 is inserted through the positioning hole 21 on the positioning plate 2 and placed on the support plate 3. The fixing ring 42 clamps the two half pots 41 to form a complete pot body for holding the potting soil and seedlings. When it is necessary to remove the seedlings, simply release the fixing ring 42, and the two half pots 41 will separate naturally, so that the seedlings and the soil around the roots can be easily removed as a whole.

[0028] This utility model employs a seedling pot 4 structure composed of two half-pots 41 and secured by a fixing ring 42. When removing seedlings, simply removing the fixing ring 42 allows the two half-pots 41 to be directly separated, thus completely exposing the seedling along with its intact root ball, achieving non-destructive seedling removal and significantly reducing operational difficulty and time costs. Combined with the independently pull-out positioning plate 2 and support plate 3 structure inside the bed 1, it can provide stable support and accurate positioning for the seedling pot 4 during the seedling stage, enabling unified management, and can be flexibly disassembled for seedling removal or maintenance, facilitating cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the bed 1.

[0029] like Figure 2-3As shown in Figures 5-6, in another embodiment, a semi-circular semi-hole 44 is coaxially provided at the bottom of the half-pot 41. When the two half-pots 41 are enclosed by the fixing ring 42, the semi-holes 44 at their bottoms are combined to form a complete circular bottom hole, effectively ensuring the drainage and ventilation function of the seedling pot 4. At the same time, the support plate 3 is provided with positioning grooves 31 that correspond one-to-one with the positioning holes 21 and are adapted in shape. The groove wall of each positioning groove 31 forms a circumferential limit on the bottom of the seedling pot 4, preventing it from sliding on the support plate 3. Several ventilation holes 311 are evenly opened on the positioning grooves 31. The ventilation holes 311 correspond vertically to the bottom holes at the bottom of the seedling pot 4, together forming a continuous ventilation and drainage channel, enhancing the ventilation and oxygen permeability of the root system, effectively avoiding water accumulation and root rot, and creating a more stable and healthy growth environment for citrus seedlings.

[0030] like Figure 2-3 As shown in Figures 5-6, in this embodiment, a protruding arc-shaped limiting block 46 is further provided on the outer side of the bottom of the half-pot 41. At the same time, a limiting part 32 that cooperates with it is provided on the corresponding side of the positioning groove 31 on the support plate 3. An arc-shaped groove 321 with an open end is provided on the inner side of the limiting part 32. When the seedling pot 4 is placed on the support plate 3, the limiting block 46 can slide into the arc-shaped groove 321 along the opening and finally be embedded therein by rotating the pot body, so as to realize the circumferential locking of the seedling pot 4 and the support plate 3, effectively preventing the seedling pot 4 from accidentally rotating or shifting during use. The above-mentioned rotation locking and unlocking operation method is simple and quick, and further enhances the overall stability of the seedling pot 4 in the process of bearing the culture soil and seedling growth.

[0031] like Figure 2-3 and Figure 5-6As shown, in another embodiment, the fixing ring 42 is sleeved or clamped around the periphery of the two half-basins 41. A semi-ring 45 is fixedly provided on the upper outer side of the half-basin 41. When the two half-basins 41 are joined together, the semi-ring 45 together form a complete annular limiting structure, providing precise axial positioning for the fixing ring 42, so that it can stably encircle the middle position of the half-basin 41. Preferably, the fixing ring 42 can be made of an elastic material, such as rubber or silicone, using its own elastic deformation ability to bind the two half-basins 41 tightly, which not only ensures the tightness of the encirclement, but also facilitates manual assembly and disassembly. Alternatively, a hard material, such as plastic or metal, can be used, with its inner diameter fitting the outer contour shape of the two half-basins 41 after encirclement, and tightly abutting against the outer wall of the half-basin 41. The specific choice can be flexibly selected according to the actual situation, which will not be discussed here. While there are limitations, it is worth noting that when the fixing ring 42 is made of a rigid material, a limiting block 46 is provided on the side wall of the half-pot 41. Those skilled in the art should provide a clearance groove on the fixing ring 42 that allows the limiting block 46 to pass through, so that the limiting ring can be smoothly fitted onto the outside of the half-pot 41. If an elastic material is used, there is no such problem. At the same time, a positioning ridge 421 protruding outward is provided circumferentially at the upper edge of the fixing ring 42. When the seedling pot 4 passes through the positioning plate 2 and is placed on the support plate 3, the positioning ridge 421 just overlaps the upper edge of the positioning hole 21, forming a stable support structure. Through the dual positioning effect of the half-ring 45 and the positioning ridge 421, it is ensured that the fixing ring 42 is always in the optimal working position, and the structural stability and reliability of the seedling pot 4 are satisfied.

[0032] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in another embodiment, the bottom of the positioning hole 21 is provided with a downwardly extending positioning edge 211. The positioning edge 211 extends smoothly downward from the edge of the hole to form an annular flange structure. Its inner diameter is adapted to the outer diameter of the seedling pot 4. When the seedling pot 4 passes through the positioning hole 21, the inner circumferential surface of the positioning edge 211 is tightly fitted with the outer wall of the seedling pot 4, providing uniform radial constraint and ensuring the stability of the pot during the seedling stage.

[0033] like Figure 4-6As shown, in another embodiment, further, the upper and lower parts of the inner wall of the bed body 1 are respectively provided with horizontally extending first sliding grooves 11 and second sliding grooves 12. The first sliding grooves 11 and second sliding grooves 12 are respectively provided with corresponding first openings 13 and second openings 14 on the same side of the bed body 1. The positioning plate 2 is horizontally inserted and slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 11 through the first opening 13, and the support plate 3 is horizontally inserted and slidably disposed in the second sliding groove 12 through the second opening 14. Furthermore, the bed body 1 is rotatably provided with a locking handle 5 on one side of the first opening 13, preferably located between the first opening 13 and the second opening 14. The locking handle 5 can rotate to simultaneously engage with the first opening 13 and the second opening 14. The locking position where the first opening 13 and the second opening 14 coincide can also be rotated to the unlocking position where it is parallel to both the first opening 13 and the second opening 14. Based on the above settings, the cooperation between the slide and the locking handle 5 makes the disassembly and assembly of the positioning plate 2 and the support plate 3 extremely convenient. When the locking handle 5 is rotated to be parallel to the opening, the positioning plate 2 and the support plate 3 can be freely pulled out for replacement or cleaning. When the locking handle 5 is rotated to coincide with the opening, its handle part is just blocking the front of the two openings, forming a limit on the fully inserted positioning plate 2 and support plate 3, effectively preventing them from accidentally slipping out during the seedling process, ensuring the convenience of operation and maintenance, and ensuring the structural stability and safety during use.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
