Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of seedling substrate root guidance and fixing modules, specifically a seedling substrate root guidance and fixing module. Background Technology
[0002] The seedling substrate root guiding and fixing module is a modular structural device applied in the field of seedling cultivation. It is specifically designed to solve problems such as disordered root entanglement, easy substrate loss, and poor module adaptability during the seedling process. It is a key component in modern seedling systems to achieve standardized root growth. Its core advantages mainly include: directional guidance of root growth: solving the problems of root entanglement and short taproots in traditional seedling cultivation, cultivating strong seedlings with vertical and robust taproots and evenly distributed lateral roots, which can shorten the recovery period after transplanting; enhanced root fixation: biomimetic anchor points are tightly integrated with the root system to prevent root loosening during the seedling period and reduce the seedling lodging rate; improved substrate utilization: the porous framework and guiding channels optimize the aeration and water permeability of the substrate, reduce the risk of water accumulation and root rot, and improve substrate utilization.
[0003] However, the existing root-guided fixing modules of some seedling substrates cannot be spliced and combined, which not only makes them less adaptable and unable to match diverse seedling containers, but also limits the flexibility of seedling cultivation and makes it difficult to meet different seedling needs.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a seedling substrate root guiding and fixing module to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a root guidance and fixing module for seedling substrate to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A seedling substrate root guiding and fixing module includes a porous skeleton module body; side connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the left and right sides of the porous skeleton module body, the outer surface of the side connecting blocks has a plurality of threaded holes with grooves, the inside of the threaded holes is threaded with fixing bolts, and a rotating handle is fixedly connected to the upper side of the fixing bolts.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the porous skeleton module body has internal slots for planting holes, and the planting holes are provided with a substrate.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the outer surface of the planting hole is grooved with several main guiding channels, and the inner surface of the main guiding channels is provided with a rooting inducing agent.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this invention, the inner surface of the main guide channel is grooved to form a side guide branch channel.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a matrix limiting mesh layer is fixedly connected to the lower side of the porous skeleton module body, and a number of water-permeable holes are grooved on the lower side of the outer surface of the porous skeleton module body.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the lower four ends of the porous skeleton module body are fixedly connected with bottom biomimetic fixing anchor points.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Multiple porous skeleton modules can be spliced together by fixing bolts, which not only allows them to flexibly adapt to different specifications of seedling containers, but also makes it impossible to match different sizes of seedling carriers such as seedling pots, seedling beds, and seedling trays due to the fixed size of a single porous skeleton module. The splicing design allows for free combination of the number of porous skeleton modules according to the length and width of the container, forming a root guiding layer that fits perfectly with the bottom of the container. This avoids gaps between the porous skeleton module and the container wall, preventing substrate loss or water accumulation and the growth of bacteria. It also allows for free control of the seedling scale. In high-density seedling scenarios, multiple porous skeleton modules can be spliced together, and seedlings can be planted in the planting holes of each module, doubling the seedling quantity per unit area. The porous skeleton modules are neatly arranged, and the seedling roots grow along their respective main guiding channels and lateral guiding branch channels, preventing them from intertwining and improving seedling uniformity. In large seedling cultivation scenarios, selective splicing is possible, with seedlings planted only in some porous skeleton modules, while the remaining modules are filled with substrate as water and fertilizer storage areas, reserving sufficient growth space for the seedlings and balancing seedling efficiency and growth. In addition, it also enhances the stability of the overall structure. A single porous skeleton module placed in a seedling container is easily displaced by watering or moving the container, disrupting the directional growth path of the roots. After multiple porous skeleton modules are spliced together, they form a stable whole through side connecting blocks and fixing bolts. Combined with the bottom biomimetic fixing anchor points embedded in the container pad, the overall structure is not easy to loosen or tilt, ensuring the stable function of root guidance. In addition, it can also optimize the overall environment of the seedling substrate. The spliced porous skeleton modules form a continuous porous network, and the substrate can be evenly distributed between the pores of the porous skeleton modules. The permeable holes can also be evenly arranged, so that the air and water permeability of the entire seedling area is consistent, avoiding uneven local substrate moisture. At the same time, the lateral guiding branch channels of adjacent porous skeleton modules can also be interconnected through the outer side wall of the porous skeleton modules. The lateral roots of seedlings can extend appropriately to the surrounding porous skeleton modules, expanding the nutrient absorption range and cultivating strong seedlings.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, a root system guiding and fixing module for seedling substrate includes a porous skeleton module body 1; side connecting blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the left and right sides of the porous skeleton module body 1, and the outer surface of the side connecting blocks 2 has a plurality of threaded holes 3, the inside of the threaded holes 3 is threaded with fixing bolts 4, and the upper side of the fixing bolts 4 is fixedly connected with a rotating handle 5; the inside of the porous skeleton module body 1 has a planting hole 6, and the inside of the planting hole 6 is provided with substrate 7; the outer surface of the planting hole 6 has a plurality of main guiding channels 8, and the inner surface of the main guiding channels 8 is provided with rooting inducer 9; the inner surface of the main guiding channels 8 has a side guiding branch channel 10; a substrate limiting mesh layer 11 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the porous skeleton module body 1, and the lower side of the outer surface of the porous skeleton module body 1 has a plurality of water permeable holes 12; the four ends of the lower side of the porous skeleton module body 1 are fixedly connected with bottom biomimetic fixing anchor points 13.
[0019] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the porous skeleton module body 1 is first placed in a suitable seedling container, ensuring that the bottom biomimetic fixing anchor point 13 of the porous skeleton module body 1 is firmly embedded in the bottom padding layer of the container (such as non-woven fabric or permeable mesh). This completes the installation and positioning of the porous skeleton module body 1. Then, moist substrate 7 is gradually filled into the planting holes 6, main guide channel 8, and side guide branch channels 10 of the porous skeleton module body 1. During the filling process, the substrate is gently pressed to ensure it adheres tightly to the inner wall without any gaps. The filling height is level with the top of the porous skeleton module body 1. Finally, a planting pit is dug at the pre-set planting hole 6 at the top of the porous skeleton module body 1, with the pit depth suitable for the seeds or seedlings. To determine root length, sow seeds into planting pits, or arrange seedling roots and place them in the pits, cover with substrate and gently press to ensure full contact between the seedling roots and the substrate. Then water thoroughly, allowing the water to penetrate to the bottom of the porous framework module 1, simultaneously activating the rooting inducer 9. After germination, the radicle grows downwards, contacting the main guide channel 8, and then extends vertically downwards along the inner wall of the channel under the action of the rooting inducer 9, preventing root entanglement. After lateral roots germinate, they spread outwards along the lateral guide branch channels 10 to the surrounding substrate, forming an orderly root system with vertical main roots and radial lateral roots. As the root system grows, some lateral roots will embed into the grooves of the bottom biomimetic fixing anchor points 13, forming a stable connection with the anchor points and substrate, preventing erosion from watering or wind. This prevents root loosening; the substrate limiting mesh layer 11 continuously prevents substrate loss, ensuring a stable root growth environment. During seedling cultivation, ensure that water permeates from the top to the bottom of the porous skeleton module body 1 each time you water, and drain excess water through the bottom permeable holes 12 to avoid water accumulation and root rot. When dealing with seedling containers of different sizes, select the corresponding number of porous skeleton module bodies 1 according to the size of the seedling container, and then snap the side connecting blocks 2 of adjacent porous skeleton module bodies 1 together to ensure that the porous skeleton module bodies 1 are seamlessly close together. Then, pass the fixing bolts 4 through the threaded holes 3 on the snapped side connecting blocks 2, rotate the handle 5 to tighten the fixing bolts 4, so that the spliced porous skeleton module body 1 is shaped. To form a stable whole and prevent the module from shifting during subsequent operations, the assembled porous skeleton module body 1 is placed at the bottom of the seedling container, ensuring that the bottom biomimetic fixing anchor point 13 of the porous skeleton module body 1 is firmly embedded in the bottom padding layer of the container (such as non-woven fabric or permeable mesh). At this point, the installation and positioning of the assembled porous skeleton module body 1 is completed. Then, the porous skeleton module body 1 can be adapted to seedling containers of different sizes. Multiple porous skeleton module bodies 1 can be spliced together by fixing bolts 4, so that it can flexibly adapt to seedling containers of different specifications. The size of a single porous skeleton module body 1 is fixed and cannot match seedling carriers of different sizes such as seedling pots, seedling beds, and seedling trays.The splicing design allows for free combination of the number of porous skeleton module bodies 1 according to the length and width dimensions of the container, forming a root guiding layer that completely fits the bottom of the container. This avoids gaps between the porous skeleton module body 1 and the container wall, preventing substrate loss or water accumulation and the growth of bacteria. It also allows for free control of the seedling scale. In high-density seedling scenarios, multiple porous skeleton module bodies 1 can be spliced together, and seedlings can be planted in the planting holes 6 of each porous skeleton module body 1, doubling the seedling quantity per unit area. Furthermore, the porous skeleton module bodies 1 are arranged neatly, ensuring the seedling roots grow along each... The main guiding channel 8 and the side guiding branch channels 10 grow independently without intertwining, improving the uniformity of seedling cultivation. In the case of large seedling cultivation, selective splicing is possible, with seedlings cultivated only in some of the porous skeleton module main bodies 1, while the remaining porous skeleton module main bodies 1 are filled with substrate as water and fertilizer storage areas, reserving sufficient growth space for seedlings and balancing seedling cultivation efficiency and seedling growth. In addition, it can also enhance the stability of the overall structure. If a single porous skeleton module main body 1 is placed in a seedling container, it is easy to shift due to watering or moving the container, which can disrupt the directional growth path of the root system. After multiple porous skeleton module bodies 1 are spliced together, they form a stable whole through side connecting blocks 2 and fixing bolts 4. With the bottom biomimetic fixing anchor points 13 embedded in the container pad, the overall structure is not easy to loosen or tilt, ensuring the stable function of root guidance. In addition, it can also optimize the overall environment of the seedling substrate. The spliced porous skeleton module bodies 1 form a continuous porous network, and the substrate 7 can be evenly distributed in the pores of the porous skeleton module bodies 1. The water permeable holes 12 can also be evenly arranged, so that the air permeability and water permeability of the entire seedling area are consistent, avoiding uneven local substrate moisture. At the same time, the side guiding branch channels 10 of adjacent porous skeleton module bodies 1 can also be interconnected through the outer side wall of the porous skeleton module bodies 1. The lateral roots of the seedlings can extend to the surrounding porous skeleton module bodies 1 to a moderate extent, expanding the nutrient absorption range and cultivating strong seedlings.
