Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fern propagation technology, specifically a device for uniformly spraying fern spore liquid. Background Technology

[0002] Ferns are an important type of ornamental plant and ecological restoration species. Their reproduction mainly relies on spores. The process includes: preparing spore solution from collected spores under sterile conditions, then spraying it onto the surface of sterilized culture tray substrate, and promoting spore germination under suitable light and humidity conditions to form new sporophyte plants.

[0003] Currently, the spraying of spore solution is generally done manually. Operators use handheld sprayers (spray head part) or spray bottles to manually spray above the substrate in the culture tray. Although this method is simple and inexpensive, the spraying quality is highly dependent on the operator's personal skills and experience. During manual spraying, it is difficult for the operator's arm to remain stable for a long time, and shaking is inevitable. This causes the distance and angle between the nozzle and the substrate surface to change continuously. This instability makes it difficult to control the trajectory and coverage of the spore solution droplets. It is very easy to cause excessive spore solution in some areas of the culture tray, while other areas are insufficiently covered or even missed, resulting in uneven spraying. This directly affects the spore germination rate and the uniformity of seedling growth.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a device for uniformly spraying fern spore liquid to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a device for uniformly spraying fern spore liquid to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A device for uniformly spraying fern spore liquid includes a spraying platform, a liquid-containing chamber disposed in the spraying platform for holding fern spore liquid, a liquid guide pipe spanning above the spraying platform, and a pump for pumping spore liquid into the liquid guide pipe. Multiple outlet pipes are arranged equidistantly on the liquid guide pipe, and an atomizing nozzle is provided at the end of each outlet pipe away from the liquid guide pipe. A shut-off valve is also provided on each outlet pipe. The spraying device further includes a moving component for driving the liquid guide pipe to move along the spraying platform and a height-adjusting component for adjusting the height of the liquid guide pipe.

[0007] In one alternative: the spraying table has an L-shaped reference member on its surface, one side of which runs in the same direction as the moving path of the liquid guide tube, and this side has a scale.

[0008] In one alternative: the moving component includes a slide seat slidably mounted on the spraying table, a lead screw threaded through the slide seat, and a drive component for driving the lead screw to rotate.

[0009] In one alternative: the height adjustment assembly includes a support rod that slides through the slide block, the support rod being fixedly connected to the liquid guide tube, the support rod having a square radial cross-section, and the slide block being provided with several fastening knobs for abutting and fixing the support rod.

[0010] In one alternative: the spraying station is further provided with a liquid dripping chamber, the table surface of the spraying station is a mesh plate that communicates with the liquid dripping chamber, and the liquid dripping chamber is also communicated with a liquid receiving chamber.

[0011] In one alternative: a transparent observation port is provided on the outward-facing side of the liquid-containing cavity for observing the remaining amount of spore liquid in the liquid-containing cavity.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows: Place the culture tray to be sprayed upright on the spraying platform. Selectively close the shut-off valve on the outlet pipe that is not located above the length of the culture tray, so that only the atomizing nozzle above the length of the culture tray sprays. Then, adjust the height of the liquid guide pipe by adjusting the height adjustment component, that is, adjust the spraying height of the atomizing nozzle. Next, move the liquid guide pipe along the direction of the spraying platform by moving the moving component. At the same time, start the infusion pump to pump the spore liquid into the liquid guide pipe. The liquid guide pipe moves at a constant height across the culture tray at a uniform speed. The spore liquid is sprayed into the culture tray in a mist form through the atomizing nozzle, thereby achieving uniform spraying of fern spore liquid and ensuring the consistency of subsequent spore germination rate and seedling growth.

[0013] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A device for uniformly spraying fern spore liquid includes a spraying platform 1, a liquid-containing chamber 2 disposed in the spraying platform 1 for holding fern spore liquid, a liquid-guiding pipe 4 spanning above the spraying platform 1 (the liquid-guiding pipe 4 is closed at both ends), and a pump 3 for pumping spore liquid into the liquid-guiding pipe 4 (the output end of the pump 3 is connected to the liquid-guiding pipe 4 via a flexible tube). Multiple outlet pipes 9 are arranged equidistantly on the liquid-guiding pipe 4, and an atomizing nozzle 11 is provided at the end of each outlet pipe 9 away from the liquid-guiding pipe 4. The liquid outlet pipe 9 is also equipped with a shut-off valve 10. The spraying device also includes a moving component 5 for driving the liquid guide pipe 4 to move along the spraying platform 1 and a height adjustment component 6 for adjusting the height of the liquid guide pipe 4. The purpose of setting the height adjustment component 6 is that the height of different culture trays and the substrate depth in the culture trays are different. By setting the height adjustment component 6, the height of the liquid guide pipe 4 can be adjusted, so that the spraying height of the atomizing nozzle 11 can be adaptively adjusted according to the height of the culture tray to be sprayed and the substrate depth in the culture tray.

[0024] Place the culture tray to be sprayed upright on the surface of the spraying platform 1. Selectively close the shut-off valve 10 on the liquid outlet pipe 9 that is not located above the length of the culture tray, according to the length (or width, here we take a rectangular culture tray as an example, for example, the diameter of a circular culture tray). That is, only the atomizing nozzle 11 located above the length of the culture tray will spray. Then, adjust the height of the liquid guide pipe 4 by adjusting the height component 6, that is, adjust the spraying height of the atomizing nozzle 11. Then, drive the liquid guide pipe 4 along the direction of the spraying platform 1 by moving component 5 (that is, move along the width direction of the culture tray, and the moving distance matches the actual width of the culture tray). At the same time, the infusion pump 3 is started to pump the spore liquid into the liquid guide pipe 4. The liquid guide pipe 4 moves at a constant height across the culture tray at a uniform speed. The spore liquid is sprayed into the culture tray in a mist form through the atomizing nozzle 11, thereby achieving uniform spraying of fern spore liquid and ensuring the consistency of subsequent spore germination rate and seedling growth.

[0025] Furthermore, the spraying station 1 is also equipped with a control panel (not shown in the figure) for controlling the operation of the spraying device.

[0026] Furthermore, a transparent observation port (not shown in the figure) is provided on the outward-facing side of the liquid-containing cavity 2 for observing the remaining amount of spore liquid in the liquid-containing cavity 2.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the spraying table 1 is provided with an L-shaped reference member 7. One side of the reference member 7 runs in the same direction as the moving path of the liquid guide tube 4, and this side is provided with a scale 12. Taking a rectangular culture tray as an example, when placing the culture tray, any two adjacent sides of the culture tray are placed in contact with the two sides of the reference member 7 respectively. The reference member 7 is used as the reference for placing the culture tray (for example, for the placement of a circular culture tray, any two adjacent quadrant points of the circular culture tray are in contact with the two sides of the reference member 7 respectively). The width (or length) value of the culture tray is read through the scale 12, and then the driving distance of the moving component 5 is adjusted through the control panel according to the read value. If the read value is input into the control panel, the control system of the spraying device will automatically adjust the driving distance of the moving component 5 to the corresponding value. The corresponding control technology is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Of course, other adjustment methods are also possible, and this embodiment does not limit them.

[0028] Please see Figure 1In one embodiment of this utility model, the moving component 5 includes a slide block 501 slidably disposed on the spraying table 1, a lead screw 502 threaded through the slide block 501, and a driving component 503 for driving the lead screw 502 to rotate (the driving component 503 is a servo motor, geared motor, etc. in the prior art). The driving component 502 drives the lead screw 502 to rotate, thereby moving the slide block 501, and then driving the liquid guide tube 4 to move accordingly. After the spraying is completed, the driving component 502 drives the liquid guide tube 4 to reset. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the slide block 501 is slidably disposed on the spraying table 1 by setting a sliding groove, sliding rail, or sliding track, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the height adjustment component 6 includes a support rod 601 that slides through the slide block 501. The support rod 601 is fixedly connected to the liquid guide tube 4. The radial cross section of the support rod 601 is square (so that the liquid guide tube 4 will not deflect). The slide block 501 is provided with several fastening knobs 602 for pressing and fixing the support rod 601. When adjusting the height of the liquid guide tube 4, the support rod 601 is first loosened by turning several fastening knobs 602 to make it lose its positioning function. Then, the support rod 601 moves up and down to drive the height of the liquid guide tube 4 to be adjusted accordingly. After the adjustment is in place, the fastening knobs 602 are tightened in sequence.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of this utility model, the spraying platform 1 is further provided with a liquid dripping chamber 13, and the platform surface of the spraying platform 1 is a mesh plate 14 that communicates with the liquid dripping chamber 13. The liquid dripping chamber 13 is also connected to the liquid receiving chamber 2. When spraying spore liquid, some atomized spore liquid will inevitably fall onto the outer edge of the culture tray. By setting the mesh plate 14, the spore liquid that falls onto the outer edge of the culture tray can drip into the liquid dripping chamber 13 and then enter the liquid receiving chamber 2, thereby realizing the recovery of spore liquid and avoiding waste.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottom side of the liquid-falling cavity 13 can be set to be inclined toward the part communicating with the liquid-containing cavity 2 (not shown in the figure), that is, similar to a funnel shape, thereby improving the efficiency of the collected spore liquid returning to the liquid-containing cavity 2.

[0032] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
