Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seedling cultivation devices, and more particularly to a multi-stem fast-growing seedling cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-stemmed, fast-growing seedlings are widely used in urban landscaping and greening projects due to their unique plant structure and rapid growth. During cultivation, to ensure the seedlings' growth quality and survival rate, it is usually necessary to use incubators or planting boxes and manage light intensity, soil moisture, and the growth morphology of the branches and stems.

[0003] Existing multi-stem seedling cultivation techniques mainly rely on manual labor or basic fixed facilities for management. For example, temporary shade nets or rainproof cloths are erected manually to cope with extreme weather, support columns fixed around the planting box are used to tie and support the main trunk of the seedling, and watering is carried out through conventional top spraying or fixed-point drip irrigation.

[0004] However, the aforementioned existing technologies have certain drawbacks in practical applications: First, they have poor environmental adaptability and slow response. Due to their reliance on manual operation, they cannot provide timely shading or rain protection when encountering sudden strong sunlight or heavy rain, which can easily lead to seedlings wilting due to dehydration caused by strong sunlight exposure, or root rot due to water accumulation in the incubator that cannot be drained in time, thus affecting the survival rate of the seedlings.

[0005] Secondly, fixed support structures have functional blind spots. Existing support columns are usually fixedly installed around the perimeter of the grower, with large physical gaps between the columns. The growth direction of multi-stemmed seedlings is random. When a main stem grows towards the gap between the columns, it cannot obtain effective support due to the lack of a foothold, resulting in the main stem growing crookedly and severely reducing the ornamental value of the seedling.

[0006] Furthermore, water and soil management is inefficient and uneven in its effects. Traditional irrigation methods often fail to reach the central root area of ​​densely planted seedlings, easily creating water supply blind spots and resulting in uneven water absorption by the roots. At the same time, long-term watering can easily lead to soil compaction, while existing soil loosening operations mainly rely on manual digging, which is not only labor-intensive but also very likely to damage the seedling roots in densely planted areas.

[0007] To address the above issues, a multi-stem fast-growing seedling cultivation device is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To overcome the shortcomings of manual shading, such as being cumbersome and slow, leading to seedling dehydration; water accumulation in the cultivation device during heavy rain causing root rot; blind spots in the fixed support column causing the main stem to tilt; and poor effect and low efficiency of manual watering and irrigation, this invention provides a multi-stem fast-growing seedling cultivation device.

[0009] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: a multi-stem fast-growing seedling cultivator, comprising a planting box, a fixing ring, and a semi-circular cover mounted on the fixing ring; the fixing ring is mounted on the planting box; a collection groove is provided on the fixing ring; a first electric slider is provided under the semi-circular cover; a solar panel is mounted on the semi-circular cover; a rain cover is provided inside the semi-circular cover; a battery is provided on the rain cover; a second electric slider is provided below the rain cover; a supplementary light for supplementing the seedlings is installed below the battery; a cultivation base is provided inside the planting box; a planting plate is fixedly connected inside the cultivation base; several drainage holes are provided on the planting plate; and a protective box is also included; several protective boxes are arranged circumferentially on the fixing ring; each protective box is provided with a first driving component; a support column is installed at the output end of each first driving component; and a support ring block for supporting the multi-stem seedlings is provided on each support column.

[0010] More preferably, it also includes a rack, a second drive member, and a gear; each support ring block is provided with a rack; each support column is equipped with a second drive member; and each support column is provided with a gear.

[0011] More preferably, it also includes a water pump, a pumping pipe, a delivery pipe, an irrigation ring, and a first irrigation hole; each protective box is equipped with a water pump; a pumping pipe is fixedly connected to both sides of each water pump; a delivery pipe is fixedly connected to each water pump; an irrigation ring is fitted onto each support column; and each irrigation ring has several first irrigation holes for irrigating the seedlings.

[0012] More preferably, the rain cover is equipped with several handles so that the rain cover can be pulled out if the second electric slider fails.

[0013] More preferably, the support ring block is provided with an adapter block, which has an arc-shaped notch to accommodate the growth of multi-stemmed seedlings.

[0014] More preferably, it also includes a water conveying and soil turning assembly, which includes an installation ring, a rotating block, a movable block, a water inlet, a rubber rod, a soil turning plate, and a second irrigation hole; the upper part of the planting box is provided with an installation ring; several movable blocks are installed on the installation ring; each movable block is provided with a rotating block; each rotating block has a water inlet; each rotating block has a rubber rod fixedly connected to it; each rotating block is provided with a soil turning plate for water conveying and soil turning; each soil turning plate has several second irrigation holes.

[0015] More preferably, the soil turning board is set in a triangle, with the left side higher than the right, and the two longer sides pointing to the right.

[0016] Beneficial effects: This invention achieves intelligent light adaptation by using a first electric slider to drive a semi-circular cover for automatic shading and water loss prevention, solar panel for power storage, and battery-powered supplemental lighting; the rain cover prevents water accumulation and root rot, and simultaneously collects rainwater, saving water and protecting the environment; the first driving component moves the support ring block closer to the main support trunk, and the gear and rack structure drives the support ring block to move to the gap blind spot, ensuring no blind spots in the support and improving the aesthetics and value of the seedlings; the water pump is linked when the support column moves, and the collected rainwater is used for irrigation through the irrigation ring, reducing manual intervention and improving cultivation efficiency.

[0017] By incorporating a rotating block, a water-carrying mechanism within the soil-turning plate, a bottom opening, and a second irrigation hole, the system can simultaneously cover both the area near the seedlings and the central region, solving the problem of blind spots in the central water supply of existing technologies. This ensures uniform water absorption by the roots and improves growth consistency. The rotating block and soil-turning plate are moved by a first electric slider touching a rubber rod to achieve soil turning. The rubber rod is flexible, thus avoiding collisions with the first electric slider. The reciprocating motion of the moving block can complete multiple soil turning operations, reducing manual labor intensity and improving efficiency. This also reduces problems such as missed turning, root damage, and blind spots in soil turning. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Example 1 A multi-stem fast-growing seedling cultivation device, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a planting box 1, a fixing ring 2, and a semi-circular cover 3. The fixing ring 2 is installed on the planting box 1. A collection groove 2001 is provided on the fixing ring 2. The semi-circular cover 3 is installed on the fixing ring 2. A first electric slider 3001 is located under the semi-circular cover 3. A solar panel 3002 is installed on the semi-circular cover 3. A rain cover 4 is rotatably connected inside the semi-circular cover 3. A battery 5 is installed on the rain cover 4. A second electric slider 4001 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the rain cover 4. Several handles 4002 are provided on the rain cover 4, allowing it to be pulled out when the second electric slider 4001 fails. A supplemental light 6 is installed below the battery 5. A cultivation base 7 is located inside the planting box 1. A planting board 8 is fixedly connected inside the cultivation base 7. Several drainage holes 8001 are provided on the planting board 8 for drainage of multi-stemmed seedlings. It also includes a protective box 101, a first driving component 102, a support column 103, and a support ring block 104; a number of protective boxes 101 are arranged circumferentially on the fixing ring 2; each protective box 101 is provided with a first driving component 102; the first driving component 102 is an electric push rod; a support column 103 is installed at the output end of each first driving component 102; a support ring block 104 is provided on each support column 103; an adapter block 10402 is provided on each support ring block 104, and the adapter block 10402 has several arc-shaped notches to accommodate the growth of multi-stemmed seedlings.

[0022] It also includes a rack 10401, a second drive component 105, and a gear 106; each support ring block 104 is provided with a rack 10401; each support column 103 is equipped with a second drive component 105; the second drive component 105 is a motor; each support column 103 is provided with a gear 106.

[0023] It also includes a water pump 107, a water pumping pipe 10701, a water delivery pipe 108, an irrigation ring 109, and a first irrigation hole 10901; each protective box 101 is equipped with a water pump 107; each water pump 107 is fixedly connected to both sides of its left and right sides; each water pump 107 is fixedly connected to a water delivery pipe 108; each support column 103 is fitted with an irrigation ring 109; each irrigation ring 109 is provided with several first irrigation holes 10901.

[0024] In existing technologies, multi-stem seedlings are often planted in fixed cultivation devices, and the cultivation environment is managed manually or with basic machinery. It is necessary to ensure stable light and water, prevent the main stem from leaning, and cope with strong light and rainfall. However, existing technologies have shortcomings: in strong light, it is cumbersome and time-consuming to manually set up shading facilities, which can easily cause seedlings to lose water and wilt; during heavy rain, water accumulates in the cultivation device, which can easily cause root rot, and rainwater is wasted because it is not recycled; the fixed support column 103 creates a support blind spot in the gap of the protective box 101, which can easily cause the main stem to lean and reduce its value; and each key link relies on manual labor, resulting in low cultivation efficiency.

[0025] To address the aforementioned issues, after planting the multi-stemmed seedlings on the planting board 8, to prevent excessive moisture evaporation due to excessive sunlight, the first electric slider 3001 can be moved to move the semi-circular cover 3 to the side with excessive sunlight, thus shading the multi-stemmed seedlings. At this time, the solar panel 3002 will collect sunlight, convert it into electrical energy, and store it in the battery 5. When there is no sunlight but supplemental lighting is needed for the seedlings, the battery 5 can provide the necessary power to the supplemental light 6, helping the seedlings to form a strong root system and a compact plant shape, and preventing the leaves from turning yellow and becoming weak. When it rains and there is excessive rainfall, to prevent root defects from suffocating due to excessive moisture in the incubator, the second electric slider 4001 can be moved to move the rain cover 4 until the incubator is completely covered. At this time, the rainwater will flow along the outer wall of the rain cover 4 into the collection trough 2001, thus collecting the rainwater.

[0026] During the growth of multi-stem seedlings, in order to prevent the main trunks from growing crookedly and reducing their aesthetic appeal, it is necessary to support each main trunk. After sending a signal to the first drive unit 102, the first drive unit 102 will push the support column 103 closer to the seedling, thereby driving the support ring block 104 closer to the seedling to support the main trunk of the seedling. Since there is a gap between the adjacent protective boxes 101, the seedling cannot be supported when it grows into the gap. The second drive unit 105 can be activated. The second drive unit 105 will drive the gear 106, which will drive the rack 10401 to move, thereby driving the support ring block 104 to move into the gap to support the seedling growing into the gap.

[0027] As the support column 103 moves closer to the seedling, the water pump 107 will be turned on, and water stored in the collection tank 2001 will be pumped into the water pump 107 through the water pumping pipe 10701. Then, the water will be transported to the irrigation ring 109 through the water delivery pipe 108, and then flow out through the first irrigation hole 10901 to irrigate the cultivation soil, thereby providing the water needed for the growth of the seedling.

[0028] Example 2 Based on Example 1, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a water conveying and soil turning assembly, which includes an installation ring 201, a rotating block 202, a movable block 20201, a water inlet 20202, a rubber rod 203, a soil turning plate 204, and a second irrigation hole 20401. The upper part of the planting box 1 is provided with an installation ring 201. Several movable blocks 20201 are installed on the installation ring 201, and several grooves are opened on the installation ring 201 for cooperating with the movable blocks 20201. Each movable block 20201 is provided with a rotating block 202. Each rotating block 202 is provided with a water inlet 20202. A rubber rod 203 is fixedly connected to each rotating block 202. Each rotating block 202 is provided with a soil turning plate 204. Each soil turning plate 204 is provided with several second irrigation holes 20401, which can be used for irrigating multi-stemmed seedlings.

[0029] The soil turning board 204 is set in a triangle, with the left side higher than the right side, and the two longer sides pointing to the right; this helps to loosen the cultivation soil and prevent soil compaction.

[0030] In existing technologies, multi-stem seedlings are often planted in fixed cultivation containers or beds, and irrigation is mainly done by manual watering, fixed drip irrigation, or sprinkler irrigation. Soil turning is mostly done manually, with small machinery used in large-scale scenarios. Existing technologies have significant shortcomings: irrigation is prone to creating a central "water supply blind spot," resulting in uneven water absorption by the roots and affecting the uniformity of growth; soil turning is labor-intensive and inefficient, and it is easy to miss turning or damage roots; small machinery has poor flexibility in densely planted areas and has soil turning blind spots; irrigation and soil turning are operated independently without linkage, the process is fragmented and time-consuming, and the high dependence on manual labor leads to poor work consistency, increased costs, and difficulty in adapting to large-scale standardized cultivation.

[0031] To address the aforementioned issues, when irrigation is needed in the central area of ​​the seedlings, water enters the rotating block 202 through the opening at its top, and then flows into the soil-turning plate 204 through the water inlet 20202. Irrigation then reaches the vicinity and center of the seedlings through the bottom opening of the soil-turning plate 204 and the second irrigation hole 20401. When soil turning is needed near the seedlings, the first electric slider 3001, during its movement, contacts the rubber rod 203. The rubber rod 203 then drives the rotating block 202 and the movable block 20201 along the groove on the mounting ring 201. The movement of the soil turning plate 204 will also cause the soil turning plate 204 to move. In order to enhance the soil's water and fertilizer retention capacity and reduce nutrient loss, the soil turning plate 204 is set as a triangle with the left side higher than the right side and the two longer sides pointing to the right. After the soil turning plate 204 is moved, the soil around the seedling will be turned, so that the soil can store more water. When the movable block 20201 moves to the top, the rubber rod 203 will bend in order not to obstruct the movement of the first electric slider 3001. When it is necessary to continue turning the soil, the movable block 20201 can be controlled to reciprocate, so as to turn the soil multiple times.

They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
