[0018] 1. By creating an optimal root growth environment through closed, controllable, and precise regulation, the external box and transparent shell are assembled to form a closed space, isolating external interference while facilitating real-time observation of root dynamics. The sliding sprinkler system, combined with magnetic positioning, can drive the sprinkler head to achieve uniform spraying throughout the entire cultivation box. The supply of culture solution is precise and avoids substrate erosion. Excess liquid is discharged in time through the water outlet, which not only prevents root rot from water accumulation but also maintains the aeration and water retention of the substrate, significantly improving the utilization rate of culture solution and the quality of root development.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a plant root cultivation box for ecological restoration, comprising: an outer shell assembly, including an outer box 11, used as a basic carrier of the device; a cultivation assembly, including a cultivation box 21, placed inside the outer box 11, used as a core container for plant root cultivation; a spraying assembly, including a spray head 31, disposed above the cultivation box 21, used to achieve precise spraying of the cultivation box 21; and a driving assembly, including a fixing ring 41, disposed above the spray head 31, used to drive the spray head 31 to move.

[0035] In this embodiment, the outer shell assembly, the cultivation assembly, the spraying assembly, and the drive assembly constitute a plant root cultivation box for ecological restoration according to this application.

[0036] Understandable Figure 1The diagram only schematically illustrates some of the components included in the cultivation chamber; the actual shape, size, location, and construction of these components are not subject to change. Figure 1 Due to limitations, the cultivation chamber can also include, compared to Figure 1 More or fewer parts.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the device uses the outer box 11 as the basic carrier, and the cultivation box 21 as the core container for root cultivation. The spray head 31 is moved by the drive component to achieve precise and full coverage spraying of the cultivation solution onto the root substrate. The transparent shell forms a closed and visible space, which not only protects the environmental stability but also facilitates observation. Excess liquid is drained in time to avoid water accumulation. The whole device constitutes a complete cultivation system of "carrier-cultivation-spraying-observation-recycling". The humidity control of the root growth environment is adapted to the cultivation of herbaceous and shrub seedlings, meets the pre-emergence seedling requirements for ecological restoration, and improves the transplant survival rate.

[0038] Specifically, the outer casing assembly also includes: a transparent outer casing 12, positioned above the outer box 11, for protecting the internal components and facilitating observation of root growth; a lower connecting plate 13, fixed to both sides of the top of the outer box 11; an upper connecting plate 14, fixed to both sides of the bottom of the transparent outer casing 12; bolts 15, threaded through the lower connecting plate 13 and the upper connecting plate 14, for connecting the outer box 11 and the transparent outer casing 12; and ventilation slots 16, formed on both sides of the transparent outer casing 12, for allowing air circulation.

[0039] In this embodiment, ventilation slots 16 are provided on both sides of the transparent outer shell with built-in dustproof nets; the lower connecting plate 13 of the outer box 11 and the upper connecting plate 14 of the transparent outer shell 12 are tightly fixed by bolts 15, so that the two form a closed cultivation space, isolating external dust, pests and other interference; at the same time, the transparent outer shell 12 is made of high light transmittance PC material, so that the staff can observe the growth status of the root system in the cultivation box at any time through the outer shell without opening the device to complete the monitoring, avoiding damage to the internal stable environment; after connection, the observation is clear and there is no visual distortion, and the closed environment reduces the range of internal temperature and humidity fluctuations.

[0040] Specifically, the cultivation unit also includes: a retaining strip 22, which is fixed to the outer casing 11, and the cultivation box 21 is secured to the retaining strip 22; a handle 23, which is rotatably mounted on the top of the cultivation box 21; a placement plate 24, which is located at the bottom of the cultivation box 21 and serves as a substrate support layer; and a retaining block 25, which is fixed to the top of the placement plate 24 and secured to the bottom of the cultivation box 21, for connecting the placement plate 24 and the cultivation box 21.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the placement plate 24 has holes to allow excess culture solution to seep into the substrate and then drain out through the drainage holes. The cultivation box 21 is secured to the outer box 11 by locking strips 22 on both sides and the bottom, enabling quick positioning and fixation and preventing the cultivation box from shaking due to device movement during cultivation. The placement plate 24 at the bottom of the cultivation box is secured to the box body by four locking blocks 25, forming a substrate support unit for root cultivation. The substrate is laid on the placement plate 24, providing support for the roots without hindering liquid penetration. After cultivation, the cultivation box can be easily removed from the outer box by holding the handle 23, and the placement plate 24 can be separated by disassembling the locking blocks 25, facilitating overall transplanting with the substrate and reducing root damage. The substrate is easy to replace, the locking structure is stable and does not loosen or shift, and the root system is highly intact during transplanting, significantly improving the survival rate of the planted plants.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] Based on Example 1, in order to further improve cultivation efficiency, a spray assembly is arranged inside the transparent shell 12;

[0044] Specifically, the spray assembly also includes: a connecting block 32, which is bolted to the top of the spray head 31 and has fixing rings 41 on both sides for supporting the spray head 31; a water tank 33, which is installed on the top of the connecting block 32 for containing the sprayed culture medium; a connecting hopper 34, which is installed on the top of the water tank 33; a water inlet 35, which is installed through the top of the transparent outer shell 12 for conveying the culture medium to the water tank 33 through the water inlet 35 and the connecting hopper 34; and a water outlet 36, which is installed through the bottom of the outer shell 11 for draining excess liquid.

[0045] In this embodiment, the water tank 33 is made of PP material and has a liquid level scale. The culture medium is added to the water tank 33 through the water inlet 35 and the connecting bucket 34. The enlarged diameter design of the connecting bucket facilitates rapid liquid addition and prevents spillage. The culture medium in the water tank is transported to the spray head 31 through the connecting block 32, and then atomized and sprayed evenly onto the substrate surface. Excess culture medium permeates the substrate and flows into the bottom of the outer box through the water permeable holes of the placement plate 24, and is discharged through the water outlet 36 to avoid water accumulation and root rot. The liquid level scale facilitates precise control of the dosage, and the water outlet ensures smooth drainage without residue, resulting in high utilization of the culture medium and low resource waste.

[0046] Specifically, two sets of connecting blocks 32 are provided on the top of the spray head 31.

[0047] With this configuration, the two sets of connecting blocks 32 are respectively sleeved on the guide rod and the fixed rod, so that the spray head 31 forms a double-point support. When it moves along the rod under the drive of the drive component, it always maintains a horizontal state, avoiding tilting caused by unilateral force, ensuring that the atomized culture liquid evenly covers the entire area of ​​the incubation box, and eliminating spray dead corners; the horizontal error is small during the movement of the spray head, the support is not deformed, the spray coverage is highly uniform, and the humidity difference between different areas of the substrate is small.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] Based on Example 2, in order to further improve the cultivation efficiency, a driving component is arranged on the transparent shell 12;

[0050] Specifically, the drive assembly also includes: a guide rod 46, installed inside the transparent housing 12, with a set of connecting blocks 32 sleeved through the guide rod 46 to provide guidance for the connecting blocks 32; a fixing rod 43, installed inside the transparent housing 12, with a set of connecting blocks 32 sleeved through the fixing rod 43; a connecting rod 42, slidably connected inside the fixing rod 43, with the fixing ring 41 fixedly connected to the connecting rod 42 to drive the fixing ring 41 to move; a magnetic block 44, fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 42; and a magnetic block 45, fixedly connected to the outer shell of the transparent housing 12 at the position corresponding to the magnetic block 44, to fix the magnetic block 44.

[0051] The connecting rod 42 extends to its outer end and slides along the groove of the fixed rod 43. The connecting rod drives the spray head 31 to move synchronously through the fixed ring 41. The connecting block on the other side of the spray head slides along the guide rod 46. The double-track guide ensures smooth movement. When the spray head reaches the target area, the magnetic block 44 on the connecting rod is attracted and fixed to the corresponding magnetic block 45 on the inner wall of the transparent shell, locking the spray position to achieve fixed-point spraying. The spray head slides smoothly without jamming, and the movement covers the entire length of the cultivation box. After being magnetically locked, it does not move on its own, adapting to the water supply needs of different root growth stages.

[0052] Specifically, the connecting rod 42 is slidably connected to the transparent outer shell 12; the outer wall of the fixing rod 43 is provided with a sliding groove, and the connection between the internal fixing ring 41 and the connecting rod 42 is located therein.

[0053] In this embodiment, the groove of the fixing rod 43 provides a guiding constraint for the connection between the fixing ring and the connecting rod, limiting its movement to only the horizontal direction and preventing the spray head angle from shifting due to the rotation of the connecting rod; the sealing ring between the connecting rod and the transparent shell ensures smooth sliding and maintains the airtightness of the cultivation space, preventing moisture loss and dust entry, and the precise fit reduces movement and shaking, improving positioning accuracy; the linearity error of the spray head movement is small, and there is no offset rotation.

[0054] In actual use, the lower connecting plate 13 of the outer box 11 is fixed to the upper connecting plate 14 of the transparent outer shell 12 by bolts 15, forming a closed and visible cultivation space; the cultivation box 21 is snapped into the outer box 11 by the clip 22, and the bottom placement plate 24 is fixed by the snap block 25, forming a substrate support unit for root cultivation.

[0055] The culture medium is injected into the water tank 33 through the water inlet 35 and the connecting bucket 34; in the drive assembly, the connecting rod 42 is pulled to slide along the groove of the fixed rod 43, which drives the fixed ring 41 and the spray head 31 to move along the guide rod 46. The culture medium in the water tank 33 is transported to the spray head 31 through the connecting block 32 to achieve uniform spraying of the culture box 21.

[0056] The transparent outer shell 12 protects the internal components and allows observation of root growth; excess culture solution is drained through the water outlet 36 at the bottom of the outer box 11 to prevent water accumulation; after cultivation, the cultivation box 21 can be removed by the handle 23, and the placement plate 24 connected by the disassembly clip 25 can be easily transplanted to complete root establishment.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
